Photoshop Elements 13 Calendar

I have Photoshop Elements 13 on both desktop and laptop. The one on my laptop has more calendar themes than the one on my desktop. How do I get all of the themes on my desktop version?

This list is pretty close to all the fonts installed by adobe photoshop elements 13:

Wall calendar with Photoshop Elements 8?

At present I am using Photoshop Elements 8 and would like to create a wall calendar 2015. Are there in addition calendar templates for the year 2015, with which one can arrange easy into a photo calendar?

In the browser window where you see all of your photos highlight those you want to place in an album (click on the first and hold down shift and click on the last) then drag the album icon from the left panel to one of the selected photos and it will place them all in the album.

Making calendars in photoshop elements 7

I am having trouble making a custom calendar in photoshop. I need to make a custom calendar for my online college class and I have made the picture but can not figure out how to make the calendar. I have tried the create photo calendar but it just takes me to a page a buy a calendar and I do not need that. I found another way to make the calendar by going to the display button on the top and going to the set date or the date button and have made it somewhat like that but can not figure out how to save it on my computer instead of just in the photoshop. I have photoshop elements 7 on my computer. I just can not figure out what to do and hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Diana

Hi Barbara,
I know you can find them elsewhere online but it can be a bit of a minefield which is why I bought Elements 7. As
someone else pointed out on the forum, it seems Adobe just want to make a bit of extra money - the old meanies! lol

Quoting Barbara Brundage <[email protected]>:
There's nothing to stop you from making calendars, just for some weird reason
adobe doesn't want to include templates. But if you google "calendar template
photoshop elements" without the quotes, you'll find a slew of calendar
templates you can use in PSE.

Using Adobe Bridge with Photoshop Elements

I have an iMAC with iLife 08.
I take photos in RAW format with a Nikon camera.
I have been editing photos this way:
After uploading photos to iPhoto, export them as jpg to a new folder on the desktop, external HD or wherever. I open Photoshop Elements, edit the exported photo.
Then I'm stuck with my edits outside of iPhoto, unless I then import them back into iPhoto. It works, but it's cumbersome.
Today I thought I'd try a different route. I opened Photoshop Elements, and tried to use Bridge to browse photos. I can find the iPhoto library easy enough, but if I click on it, it opens iPhoto, and I'm stuck - can't open the photos in Photoshop.
I am hoping that if I do it correctly, I can save my edits directly back into iPhoto.
Any ideas?

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Using iPhoto 08 with Photoshop elements

I am a recent Mac convert and I'm loving it.
However, I need some help understanding how best to use Photoshop Elements in conjunction with iPhoto 08. I was thinking I could use iPhoto to keep track of photos and do basic edits and link to other iLife apps etc, and use Photoshop to do more indepth editing.
I would like to know the most efficient way to open photos from inside iPhoto, into Photoshop. And how to get them back into iPhoto.
I realise I can drag a photo and create a copy on to the desk top and then open it with Photoshop, do some editing, save it to a/any folder, then import it back into iPhoto but…
1) is there a better way to do this?
2) I'm concerned with filling up my hard drive with multiple copies!
I'd be greatful for any help, Thanks

IPhoto won't show Photoshop Elements 6 editing.

When I drag a photo from iPhoto into Photoshop Elements 6 and edit then save it, the edits do not show in IPhoto. What am I doing wrong. Right now I'm doing a work-around of saving to desktop, importing and merging events but this is tedious. I thought Photoshop was supposed to be compatible with iPhoto. I am running iPhoto 8 with Photoshop Elements 6 on a PowerBook G4 and Leopard OS.

IPhoto vs. Photoshop Elements 6

I just bought my first Mac and had no trouble using iPhoto for importing and editing my photos. I then installed Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac (with many hours of support from Adobe, after it repeatedly failed to install properly), and that program works fine now. However, I still want to use the editing features of iPhoto to make quicker and simpler adjustments to most photos rather than Elements, which takes longer to load and would be reserved for more complicated edits. The problem is that nothing happens when I open up iPhoto and try to click on a thumbnail image in my library -- no enlarged image and no ability to edit. What gives? How can the two programs coexist?

Using photos from iphoto in adobe photoshop elements

I'm new to the mac world. I do a lot of casual digital photography. I like to edit pictures and create things in photoshop elements.
I'm trying to make sure I'm opening photos from the correct folder in the iphoto library.
I think either using photos in the modified or original photos is the proper way? Any input.
Also, can I create new folders within the iphoto library (finder side) to better organize my photos? I had pictures broken down by month on my pc and iphoto seems to only group by year. It makes locating the proper picture in photoshop elements easier if the pictures are broken down by month.
I know I can use folders and albums within iphoto, but those catagories don't show up when trying to open photos in elements.
Thanks for your input!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There ias a caveat to using PSE with iPhoto. It is: if you create a layered file or do edits that causes PSE to want to save as a .psd file you must either flatten the file and force PSE to save as a jpg or do a Save As to the Desktop and import the new file. Subsequent edits to that new psd file from within iPhoto like Terence pointed out can proceed normally.
Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.

IPhoto & Photoshop Elements 4

Hi all
I escaped from the Windows world a few weeks ago, but finding the combination of iPhoto '08 and Photoshop Elements 4 (PSE) not very intuitive and intially appears to be clumsy when opening files - not a very efficient workflow wise when compared to the same software in a Windows XP environment
Completely confused on opening photographic files and where they are being stored as one editor can see files whilst the other cannot ie: the greyed out library icon.
It is even more confusing when bringing Adobe Bridge into play.
I realise I am at the bottom end of the Mac learning curve and therefore ask on whether there any manuals or techincal literature explaining what is going on?

Editing iPhoto pic in Photoshop Elements 4

I have read the messages of mainman and Dr. Livingstone regarding this issue and the replies but I do not have any option of choosing Photoshop Elements 4 in Preferences/General/Edit Photo which shows only "In Man Window", "Full Screen" "in Separate Window" and "in Lightroom" I have clicked on Lightroom and was taken to Applications where I selected Photoshop Elements 4 which now appears as a selection for editing photos. However, when I double click on a photo in iPhoto, it doesn't open in Photoshop. What else should I do or not do?
Also, from the Photoshop open menu, where to do I find iPhoto.app and where do I find iPhoto In Finder under Applications? iPhoto and iLife doesn't show up listed there.
Oh yes, iLife '08 and iPhoto '08 are the ones I use.
Thanks for your help.

Photos Not as Sharp as Preview or Photoshop Elements

I've noticed in iPhoto 5.0.4 my photos don't appear to be presented as sharp as they do when I open the same photo in Photoshop Elments 2 or in Preview. In iPhoto 5 I double click the photo to go to edit mode. I have the same photo open in the other applications and when comparing them I notice iPhoto is a tad blurry. Photoshop Elements and Preview look the same when compared.
Is this the same issue in iPhoto 6? I've been thinking of upgrading to iLife 6.
I'll probably wait until after Macworld to see if a new version of iLife is announced.
Thanks for any advice

Kevin:
The problem with V5 is that the the anti aliasing of the image smoothed out the sharpness unless it was view at 100% (use the Edit in separate window option and set the size to 100%). You'll find that the sharpness is there.
V6 does a better job of that along with Tiger and the newest Quicktime.

Help integrating iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 4

Wow, PE 4 sure is powerful. Now I have a lot to do. Thanks for all the help.

RL:
After setting iPhoto's preferences as Terence described be sure to set PSE4's color management to the following thru the Edit->Color Settings menu option:
If you want to be able to use both iPhoto's editor and PSE's then see the following:
Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
And lastly, if you do any edit with PSE that causes PSE to want to change the extension to .psd, i.e. created a layered file or some of the more advanced edits, you MUST either flatten the image and force a save as a jpg file OR do a Save As to the desktop and then import the new .psd file. If you don't iPhoto will not know you did an edit and will still uses the original file.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
