Opening iphoto images in photoshop

I am having trouble opening images in photoshop from iphoto. I import my photos directly to iphoto, then if i open photoshop and try to open a cetain image i cant navigate to my iphoto files (iphoto is grayed out and i cant find the images anywhere else) Is this a new issue with iLife '08? we just installed that. Can anyone help me find my photos?

To add to Terence's suggestion setting up Photoshop as the editor to use in iPhoto is done in the General preferences. Then when you double click on a thumbnail it will open in PS. When you go to save you will get one of these two options. Select the one that suits the intent of the edit and proceed.
Editing via direct access in the Finder will result in iPhoto not knowing the file has been edited and could corrupt the library.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Lightroom won't open an image in Photoshop CS2

    I have Photoshop 1.1 on a PC running Windows XP. I can't open a Lightroom image in Photoshop CS2 through the "photo" menu because the menu selection to open an image in Photoshop is dimmed. Also in "Preferences" in the "external editors" tab it says "Photoshop not found." My Photoshop is on the same drive as Lightroom. Am I wrong in assuming LR should open an image in CS2?
    In a related matter I opened a Photoshop customer support case about this, but did not receive a reply. Is this typical of Adobe? Isn't this the kind of question they should answer even without a paid support plan?

    Richard,
    What I did when faced with a similar situation was to go to Control Panel, and select Add or Remove Programs, then select Uninstall or Change for Adobe Photoshop CS2, then when prompted whether to Uninstall or Repair, choose Repair. This will fixup all the registry entries that appare to be missing from your system.
    Works for me at least.

  • Opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

    When opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9 (File -> Open or File -> Open As), the Adobe Camera Raw dialog do not open.
    Instead I get a window with a progress bar and the text "Reading Camera Raw Format".
    The image then opens in the Photoshop Elements editor.
    I have tested this with raw images both from Canon EOS 1000D and Samsung WB2000 cameras.
    I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
    I run Photoshop Elements on a HP netbook running Widows XP and with an Intel Atom N450 / 1.66 GHz processor, 2 GB ram and a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

    Unfortunately you can't see the raw converter in PSE 9 on screens less than 800 px tall, which means not on netbooks. PSE will automatically convert it for you, but that dialog box and a few others, like the Advanced Downloader window, will not appear.

  • Can't Open Bridge Images in Photoshop

    Upgraded Photoshop CS5 to CS6, Windows 7. Uninstalled CS5. Now can't open Bridge images in Photoshop.

    Thanks, problem solved!
    The first thing I did was check the file associations which, indicating “Photoshop”, I assumed was OK.
    But then, motivated by your suggestion, I checked more carefully and found that “Photoshop” was pointing to an earlier version.
    Next I “browsed” and reset the association to the Photoshop CS6 .exe file and now images in Bridge open in Photoshop just like they used to.

  • Can't open CS2 image with photoshop

    I had this camera, Canon 50d, for little more than two years.
    Now it is time to start working with Raw image and can't open the image with Photoshop.
    But I could open with EOS utility but want to work with Photoshop.
    thanks for reading and advice pleae

    Photoshop CS2 will never directly open a Canon EOS-50D raw file.  The raw files from every camera are different and your camera was designed after the Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw application stopped receiving updates.
    This list is pertinent:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your images indirectly.
    Download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 (Mac)
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 (PC)
    Whenever you have a folder full of raw 50D images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all the files to DNG format.  You will have to select the proper compatibility setting.
    You can now open the DNG files with Photoshop CS2's Camera Raw converter.
    Just as an aside, the Camera Raw converter from the latest version of Photoshop delivers images of higher quality, so you may want to consider moving up to Photoshop CS6.  Unfortunately you will have to pay full price; there's no Photoshop CS2 -> CS6 upgrade discount.

  • Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$

    Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$
    I could use iPhoto images in Media Browser before the update - is this happening to anyone else?
    I have restarted... no change. Maybe I'll try opening and closing iPhoto once.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I am on Pages 2 also... Hmmm, Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing - New to Pages. I see my Library, Last Roll and all my albums in the Media Browser but when I double click one of them nothing happens - Is there some other way to open them?

  • Want to edit iPhoto images in Photoshop 5.1

    I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.2.1).
    Updated from Photoshop in CS3 to CS5.1.
    I want iPhoto to open images in Photoshop CS5.1, so I went to iPhoto - Preferences - Advanced - Edit Photos: and it only gives me two choices. One is iPhoto, the other is my old choice, Photoshop CS3.
    No matter what I try, I cannot get it to show me "In Application," so I can manually choose Photoshop CS5.1.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Choose CS3 again and the window to select your preferred version will open

  • Can't open raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

    I've just finished doing a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 SP1 onto my desktop PC.  I installed Photoshop Elements 9 but it can't open any raw images (specifically Canon .CR2).  When I open one of the same images with Photoshop CS5.1, it properly opens up the image in Camera Raw (6.6), allows me to pre-process the image, then edits it in Photoshop (as you would expect).
    Before installing Photoshop, I did manually install Adobe Camera Raw 6.2, then upgrade it (multiple steps) up to the current v6.6.
    I also copied the Camera Raw.8bi into the Plug-Ins\File Formats sub-directory of both C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer and C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9 but there was no change of behavior with Photoshop Elements 9.
    This was working prior to the re-install of Windows 7.
    Any suggestions on how to get this working?  Thank you, in advance.

    When I to to Help>Update, it offers to update Photoshop Elements to v9.0.3 but no mention is made of Camera Raw (any version).  I'm not even sure how to determine what version it thinks is installed since there's no reference to Adobe Camera Raw in the Windows 7 Programs and Feature Control Panel applet.
    Suggestions?

  • Can't open RAW images in Photoshop

    I purchased a new computer. It runs 64 bits. I have CS4. Since uploading it to my computer, I can not open RAW images. I have downloaded the most recent updates.
    I have been using the 32 bit photoshop because I could not get my NIK filters to work in 64 bit. But I can't open any of my RAW images.  I can't open them in either 32 or 64 bit.
    I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw.  I only know this because I can see it under "About filer.... Camera Raw".  I cant find any camera raw filters in adobe/plug-ins in either version of photoshop. I have a huge photoshoot tomorrow. I NEED to open RAW images.  HELP!!  Regular Support is down for the next few days.

    If you look at this list: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    You will see you need Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 or later.
    As Chris says, update either maually from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4681
    Or use the Updater from PS help.

  • Weird behavior in opening Aperture images in Photoshop

    I have found a lot of really weird behavior when opening Aperture images in an external editor (in my case, Photoshop, so I'll use PS to refer to it):
    1) If the master image is opened in PS, a new version is created when the file is opened, not saved. So quitting PS without saving leaves you with a new version of the file, regardless of whether you actually saved any changes or not.
    2) If a version (not the master) is opened in PS, a new version is not created, either on open, or on save. So in other words, changes to that version in PS when saved overwrite that version, and the previous condition of that version is lost (with respect to versioning).
    3) If multiple versions of the same image are opened simultaneously in PS, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the difference between them in PS, except for visually (possibly meta-data, but I haven't checked that, nor would I want to be forced to). The file names of all versions are exactly the same.
    I'm looking for feedback from anyone out there who can explain why this isn't completely quacky version control. I've been using version control almost my entire career (as a software programmer) and here's how I have seen almost invariably version control work:
    1) New versions of files are always created upon commit, i.e. saving of the file, not on opening a file. (Do not confuse this with working copies, think about what is present in the repository).
    2) Opening / editing any file version is never destructive. Any change to that file version that is saved (committed) results in a new version, not an overwrite to the same version.
    Aperture's interface basically has combined what traditional version management has represented separately, that being the client and repository views of a project. They are showing all versions of a file simultaneously. This is fine, but I'm really not liking the fact that some changes create new versions, other changes overwrite versions, and one case, merely opening the file creates a new version, whether there are any changes saved or not. In addition, when working with multiple versions in the editor, the file name and/or interface doesn't give any indication of what version you are working with. Easy to say that's the fault of the external editor, but I disagree -- all external editors are going to work with filenames, so Aperture should produce a unique namespace for any file version so that any external tool will be able to distinguish (visually) one file from another.
    Is this completely wacky version management, or is it just me?

    Hi Bradley,
    Due to the way I personally use Photoshop, I want Aperture to behave as it does.
    That's because, with Photoshop, I use layers extensively. Any edits I do (levels, curves, saturation, sharpening) I do on layers. I can delete the layers at any time (or select to show or hide them). Because of this, I actually WANT Aperture to behave the way it does. Once I've done a bunch of edits in Photoshop, if I select again to edit that file in the external editor, I want to work on that specific file (to add another layer, or change one). I don't want another duplicate. I tinkered with this over the weekend, and it worked very nicely for me.
    Perhaps you work differently from within Photoshop? Do you ever use layers? If I were to have a bunch of Photoshop "versions," each with 5 layers, I'd have like 5 GB of "versions" for my original 8 MB RAW file, due to the size of PSD files. Yuck

  • Cannot open multiple images in Photoshop

    I recently purchased a new laptop (OS: Windows 7 Enterprise, 32 GB RAM) and installed CS5 on it.  All of the applications work well except for Photoshop.
    At first Photoshop would load correctly but crash when I tried to Save As.  I deleted the preference file upon startup and that fixed the problem. 
    Now every time I open more than one image in photoshop, my screen goes completely black. It doesn't matter whether I try to open them sequentially or all at once.  The most I can have open is 2 images.  When trying to open a 3rd, or when selecting more than one file to open all at once, the screen goes completely black. Eventually the screen does come back on, with the error that my AMD driver stopped responding and recovered.  But now Photoshop is frozen and I have to close Photoshop through the Task Manager. My video card is AMD FirePro M6100 and has been checked for driver updates. 
    Do we know what could be the source of this problem?  And how can I fix it, I often need >2 images open at once. 
    Thanks!

    All I coul find is this AMD FirePro M5100 / M6100 Graphics Driver Driver Details | Dell US

  • Open an image with photoshop...I can't create another layer

    hi,
    So, just got aperture and am trying to figure it out.
    I have managed to open an image with an external editor...in my case, photoshop elements 4...now, I would like to edit this image further.
    Problem is that photoshop tells me that my image is 16 bit... and so I can't even create a new layer.
    How do I fix this? Is this an export setting from aperture?
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    Hey charles!
    I'm getting there! I will have CS2 one day...for now, I'm doing well with what I have.
    I needed Aperture to retouch mass number of photos fast...then I so a little bit of this, a little bit of that in elements.
    It works for me for now.
    See ya!

  • I have a new notebook with windows8. When I open an image in photoshop it is not the correct color.

    The icon is the correct color and if I open the image in another app it is the correct color. How do i fix this?

    Good day!
    What is the »correct color« and how do you know that?
    In which other applications does the image look different?
    What are the Edit > Color Settings in Photoshop and does the image have an ICC profile embedded or not (you can set the Info Panel’s Panel Options to display »Image Profle«)?
