Photoshop or I Photo for Organizing

I am new to MAc and cannot deal with I Photo at all. I bought Photoshop but I am not sure that is user friendly either when it comes to organizing Pictures. I also do not know how to copy my library from I photo into Photoshop. Does anybody have input on which is better as far as creating albums or files?

Why not tell us what the difficulties are? Perhaps we can help you deal with it.
As Francois says, PS is a photo editor, iPhoto is a photo organiser.
I also do not know how to copy my library from I photo into Photoshop.
You don't, but you can set PS to be your editor for pics in iPhoto, so that when you edit a pic it is done by PS and saved back into iPhoto. You do this at the iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General. Use the drop down menu to select PS as your editor of choice.

  • Is Photoshop Elements Good for organizing 1000's of Videos

    Is Photoshop Elements good for organizing 1000's of videos, no photos videos only, up to 2TB in total size?
    If so, what file format should my videos be in before I load into Elements? I am looking to the future and want to use a very common file format.
    Thanks for your help,
    Bill

    I am not a heavy video user, but I think that should not be a problem.

  • Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Using an external editor (e.g., photoshop) with photos for mac

    Hi,
    I'm just trying out photos for mac. So far it seems to make life a lot easier in terms of syncing libraries. However, I have been using Lightroom 4 and photoshop before and I am missing out on some of their combined functionality (not much I have to confess). What I want to know is this - is there an easy way to open files with an external editor e.g., photoshop so I can use it (photoshop) to stitch together panoramas or merge HDRs?
    I'm surprised this functionality isn't included in photos from the beginning. I can see there is talk of plugins but can't find ANY online at the moment.
    Thanks.

    Mr Ben,
    I am having similar difficulty finding programs that offer 'extensions' within the Photos App.
    I think that gone are the days when we could perform an 'Edit with...'
    My understanding is that Apple has only opened 'Extensions for Photos editing' for IOS.  It hasn't yet made it available as an option for OS X.
    I hope this changes, as many serious photographers migrating from Aperture and now using Photos on OS X will want to perform additional edits with third party software without having to export and then re-import images - as seems to be the only solution at the moment.
    Hopefully, behind the scenes there is a mad flurry of activity by App producers to create extensions for OS X that will eventually be switched on by Apple.
    I would love to know. Can anyone from Apple please advise?

  • Does photoshop elements enable save for web for a batch of photos?

    does photoshop elements enable save for web or ready for web for a batch of photos ?

    Hi Patonabike,
    You can batch save images as jpeg, png, tiff etc. using Process Multiple Files. This feature will even allow you to batch resize them (as long as they are the same orientation and aspect ratio). However, the resulting images may be larger than what you would get if you individually did 'Save for Web' because 'Save for Web' removes the photo's exif data (and Process Multiple Files won't).
    With that said, it depends how you are editing your images and the results you are looking for, if you just want to rescale them or batch edit them - this is one way.
    Hope it helps!

    Using OSX 10.9.4 and want to have photoshop as my default for photos instead of Preview. Any suggestions?

    In the Mac Finder, select the icon of any of your photo files and do a Get Info (Command i) on it. Then select the application you want to open your photo files, then Click on Change All.
    You'll need to do this once for an icon of each file type, i.e. one on a JPEG file, one on a TIFF, one for PSD, one for raw files, etc.

  • Organizing some photos for use on iPad

    I have thousands of pictures in iPhoto. I have an iPad that I would like to display 200 - 300 of my favorite photos on. How can I select these photos for syncing in iTunes without moving the photos from their current event? I started to create an event called iPad Photos but quickly realized that when I flag a photo and add it to the iPad Photos event, it is removed from the original event.
    Also this may be slightly off-topic but when large (above 1.5MB) photos from iPhoto are synced to an iPhone or iPad do they reside on the device at full resolution? I don't need full resolution on a smaller screen such as the iPad or iPhone and don't want to waste memory space. Do I need to take all the full resolution photos and resize before letting iTunes sync with that folder/event?

    Create an iPhoto album with the photos you want to sync to your iPad. Connect the iPad to your Mac and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad icon and go to the Photos tab. Select iPhoto in the *+Sync Photos from...+* drop down menu. There select the radio button titled Selected albums, events, ......
    In the Albums section select the album with the photos you want to sync and sync.
    If you want to reduce the file size of those photos you'll have to export them out of iPhoto with the JPEG Quality level set at Medium or Low. Put those photos in a folder on your hard drive. In iTunes select Choose folder in that drop down menu, navigate to the folder with the reduced sized image files and select that folder. Then sync.

  • Change Color Selecting Layers in PSE10 for a Drawing from Photoshop CS6 (non-photo) .PSD file?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a drawing that was created in Photoshop CS6 (non-photo) and saved as a .PSD file.  I am able to open the file in PSE10 and see the drawing and select the layers.  I am having trouble with figuring out how to change the colors on each layer in PSE10.  When I select a layer where do I go to change the color of that layer?  Can this be done in PSE10 as this a drawing created in Photoshop CS6 and not a photo?
    TIA,
    ClearInk8

    I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. 
    Here are the steps I have tried.
    I made sure the RGB Color (Image>Mode) was selected.
    I selected the star layer
    Next I selected Layer>Created Clipping Mask
    Then I selected Color blend mode
    Then I selected Solid Color
    When I choose a color the entire canvas fills with the solid color and covers up the drawing.
    What step am I missing?
    The small red square outline you have next to the orange color box in the color fill layer I am not see this small icon.

  • Bridge Does Not Automatically Bring Up Photoshop When the Photo is Double-Clicked

    I have just purchased CS4 with Bridge for my new MacIntosh.  In Bridge for the PC, when I double click a photo it automatically brings up Photoshop.  On the Mac version, it gives me an error message saying that part of the application is not loaded.  I completely uninstalled the program, and reloaded the application and still get the same message.  So in Bridge on the Mac, to get around this, I right click the picture and go to "Open With" and there are two entries:  "Open with CS4 (default)" and "Open with CS4."  This works if I pick either option.  My Windows version only has "Open with CS4 (default)" as the option.
    I called Adobe support (in India?) with no solution.
    I really like the double click option rather that using the pop-out menu choice.  What is wrong with the Mac install, and how can I fix this issue?

    Thank you for your help.  I updated the software and it "healed" itself.

    This might mean that you have either 2 installs of CS4 (one on an other
    disk?) or you did not use the the default application folder on root level
    but have it installed in the user account application folder. Could you

    How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
    So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.
