Problem saving edited photos in iPhoto

HI
When editing in iphoto the changes I have done are not saved correctly. If I select a photo then choose 'edit -> enhance -> done' everything is saved as expected even when losing edit-view BUT if I try to edit in another way for example 'edit-> adjust' and then changes the 'shadows' settings manually and press 'done' the changes are not saved. When selecting the edited photo to to watch it in full-size or even as the icon size (i.e. how every photo appears in each Event before being clicked on) the photo shows up unedited. I have to chose the edit-view to see the changes I have done.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the contents of the User/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder, launch iPhoto and try again. If still no go create a new test library, import a couple of photos and try your editing there.
If the new library works as it should then the problem lies in your original library. If it doesn't work then more tests are indicated.
Log into another user account on your Mac and try the editing there. If it doesn't work there then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
It the editing works in the other account then the problem lies in your user account. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.

5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

Saving edited photos in Iphoto

I´ve tried the "save" option after changing the settings for PS but Iphoto still wont show me the edited photos. They are there- but in som different place- and the edited photos wont show in Iphoto events. Where are the photos? And why wont they show in Iphoto? I have made sure they are jpg and all and made PS the choice for my Mac when I want to edit a photo. Still, when I return to Iphoto after saving- the original photo is still there and the edited one ( with a new name though... - mayby thats why?) is stuck in another place. What am I doing wrong here?

Maybe this will help:

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..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
NOTE: 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.

Problems with edited photos in iPhoto

Hi all, today I imported some photos from my iPhone into iPhoto. After I cropped the photo and tried to open it, it became black with a grey exclamation. (see photo) If I reverted the photo back to original it worked all well. I could not export the edited photo either..
Old photos which have been edited before today in iPhoto works just fine, but if I try to edit old photos, which are imported, the same thing happes. When I close the photo, the thumbnail is there of the original picture.
I hav tested to restart the machine and repaired disk permission without help. When I veryfy the disk it says the disk is OK.
MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.2
iPhoto ´11 version 9.2.1
The opened and edited photo looks like this:
Anyone else experienced this and have some tips, tricks or solutions? :-)

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Problems with saving edited photos using Photoshop Elements 5.0 on WIndows 8.

Since a week I can not save the edited photos - when I try the communicate: "Caould not complete your request because of a program error" appeares. I had no problem with saving edited photos before, with the same software. My computer runs on Windows 8, 64 bit version. My Photoshop Elements is version 5.0. Where is the problem?

After iphoto 9.1.5. problem with editing photos

After I did the 9.1.5. update I have a problem with editing photo's. My photo's are about 35mb a piece.. they are panoramic photo's. Editing used to work perfect in iphoto 8.. after I went to iphoto 9 it became buggy.. (it crashes on certain photo's that 8 could handle without a problem).. but I learned to live with it. Now I did the 9.1.5. update and I can edit maybe 2 or 3 pics without a problem.. then when I get to number 4 Iphoto will show me a black screen.
If I close iphoto and start it again, I can continue where I left off.. untill I get to a picture that seems to ruin the party.. and then I have to restart again..
Iphoto 8 used to work so smooth with panoramic photo's.. dont know where it went wrong..

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
in iPhoto 11. Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank.
And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6 to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
Please advise. Glenys

Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Editing photos outside iPhoto

After exporting and editing photos outside iPhoto with Lightroom, is there a simple way to bring them back to iPhoto 7. Since the iPhoto libraries are now packages, Lightroom cannot export in the iPhoto library subfolders like the Modified and Originals subfolders.

MacYQB:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just to be sure, you do have Lightroom set up in iPhoto's General preferences section as the application to use like this when you double click on a thumbnail in iPhoto right. If that's the case then when you finish with your edit, and you don't change the file format a normal save should save the modified version in the Modified folder and the thumbnail gets updated. Here's what Photoshop's save menu looks like when it's the editor. I haven't tried Lightroom to know how it handles edits and saves. You may have to do a save as to the desktop and import as a new 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements? I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements? I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
3 - go to the Events menu and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
which will give you an event for each day.
4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the following settings:
The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

I can't get elements 10 to edit photos from Iphoto?

I have not been able to edit photos from iphoto in elements 10. When I press the edit key in iphoto the edit program opens in elements10 but no photo to edit appears.
The Preference selection to Advanced for Editing has elements 10 editor selected. Why is it not accepting the image to edit?

Are you sure? You are using the PSE file inside the support folder and not the file at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in applications as your external editor? I've never known of any other reason for your photo not to appear in the PSE editor. Does the editor open?
Usually this happens when you've set the welcome screen to automatically open the editor so that you don't see the welcome screen anymore. Did you ever change that setting in the PSE welcome screen?

If i edit photos in iphoto, will that carry the editing to the same photos that are in an idvd slideshow?

If i edit photos in iphoto, will that carry the editing over into the same pictures in idvd? Things like red eye, cropping, lighting, etc? I know it doesn't work if I have rotated a picture in iphoto- it doesn't show as rotated in idvd.

I assumed - it so easy to do and to often to fast.
If i edit photos in iphoto, will that carry the editing over into the same pictures in idvd?
To carry over to pictures in iDVD - made me assume that there was a project in iDVD that had pictures to whom
an adjustment could be carried over to. And if so - that might be in vain - due to the iDVD BUG that MIGHT also
hit Menus and or SlideShow projects.
BUT - I assumed - and may be wrongfully so - I'm SO sorry.

Editing photos on iPhoto

Sometimes I want to edit photos through iPhoto, but I dont want it to change on facebook if I had previously uploaded. How can I do that?

the best way is to use two photos - duplicate it (command - D) and edit the duplicate

BTW - it is best to set web syncing to manual in the iPhoto preferences to make iPhoto launch faster

Saving edited photos in jpeg

I use Element 9. I am not alowed the option on the drop down list to select jpeg when saving edited photos. Please help!

Make sure the image is not 16 bits/channel and not bitmap or indexed color.
Image>Mode
Usually RGB Color and 8 bits/channel is the norm for saving as a jpeg.
Also if your document has layers (jpeg doesn't support layers) you would need to flatten the photo before being able to save as a jpeg.
If you want to keep the layers use a format such as psd or tif.

Problem editing photos in iPhoto 6

Hi,
I am having a problem editing photos. When I click on a photo to edit I get the following error message:
Unreadable Files
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)
/Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library2006/Modified/2006/Roll2183/DSCN0164.jpg
I have rebuilt the photo library. I also backed up my iphoto library and reimported the photos. I have not messed with the photo library at all. I import my photos from the camera and generally work with them. I think this has been a problem since upgrading to 6.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to the Apple DIscussions:
This could be a file permissions issue:
Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

Saving Elements 9 Edited photos to IPhoto 11

I am fairly new to using IPhoto. Elements is old hat to me. When I edit a photo in Elements and save it to IPhoto it seems to get lost. I shoot in RAW, cntrl click and say open in external editor (Elements 9) and do my editing. Then I do a "save as" and change the extension to jpg or psd and save it with the same name or give the file a new name with a jpg extension and save it to the same place indicated in the "save as" dialog box. I cannot locate the saved files in IPhoto in the same album as it came from. Color me frustrated as ****!!

This may be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
