PSE 12 and IPHOTO

I;m new to photoshop all together. I have set PSE 12 as external editor in Iphoto. when I open image to edit the photo doesn't open. Can anyone help

Most likely you chose the logical file instead of the correct one. The actual PSE editor is buried way down in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 12>support files. The file at the top level is an alias for the welcome screen:

How does PSE 11 and iPhoto work together?

I am currently trialling PSE 11. I would prefer to keep iPhoto as my organiser while using PSE 11 as my editor. However, it appears that I have to create a separate PSE library meaning that the edits made in PSE will not be reflected in the iPhoto library.
Other than manually importing and exporting photos between the libraries is there a way round this?

You can change iPhoto prefs to show the PSE Editor application as the external editor. You will the get the choice when right-clicking on a thumbnail in the iPhoto Library - either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor.
The export copy will be created automatically and will show up in the iPhoto Library as a duplicate next to the original once you save in PSE after you finish editing. If you don’t want duplicates and are happy to replace (overwrite) your originals you can set up the PSE prefs to automatically save over original.

PSE 10 and iphoto on a mac

I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for snow leopard and one for lion. PSE
10 is loaded on the lion partition. When I went to 'get photos and videos' in
PSE organizer I clicked 'from iphoto' and somehow got it connected up with the
snow leopard iphoto library not the lion iphoto library. I need to redirect PSE
to the right lion iphoto folder but I can't find anyway to change the default
iphoto library it is connecting with. Anybody know how to fix? Thanks.
Oh while I am asking...Is there any way to make the text under the photos in the
organizer bigger for easier reading? I didn't see anything in the PSE
preferences that would make just the words bigger not the pictures. Thanks
again.

My workflow is I use iphoto to import from my camera since it is ancient and is the only way I have been able to get photos off of it, I organize it into events. Then important them to photoshop elements from iphoto. I just got a nice new used mac and partitioned it to run both os, installed pse10 on the lion partition and then when I went to import from the iphoto library it offered me a choice but I'm just getting used to this glass trackpad and I think I accidently clicked the snow leopard library(as it makes a click without any action on my part when I just indecisively hover over a drop down of choices)...now it just grabs from that library and doesn't give me a choice.
No interesting screen shot to take as it isn't doing anything but importing the library, just the little normal proress bar just importing from the wrong folder.
No one knows how to make PSE give me the choice box back?...its not in the preferences...shouldn't it be in the preferences?

PSE 9 and iPhoto

I'm using Photoshop Elements 9 as my external editor for iPhoto. When I try to import photos to edit I can only import 4 at a time. Has anybody else had that problem? It's not the end of the world but sometimes it's a pain.

Four is the maximum you can send to an external editor at a time. I suspect it's to protect folks who might not realise what they have selected from inadvertantly sending 400 at one go.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

I use OSX version 10.8.5 and iphoto on a MAC. I upgraded to elements 12 and in IPHOTO it keeps going to Elements 9??? Help please - how do I make it reference the new version???

I have a MAC and use IPHOTO and had used Adobe Elements 9 as the external Editor and IPHOTO as default. NOW I upgraded to Adobe elements 12 and IPHOTO only recognoizes Adobe Elements 9??? HOW do I make it go to the new external editor?? I appreciate any help you can provide?

You need to reset the external image editor in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to the right version. I assume there's an Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 folder in your Applications folder. This screenshot is for PSE 10 but would be the same for 12:

I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences

I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my advaced preferences drop down, it used to be there, how do I get it back again?

Hi, Yes you are correct in iPhoto Prefernces, Advanced tab editing I used to have iPhoto and "Use external editor.". It changed to iPhoto and iPhoto Library. I have einstaleed PSE 9 and downloaded the update. There is still no lkink to external editor in the drop down box. Have I done something wrong inadvertently or is there a clitch? can you reinstal iPhoto. I am new to Macs. Every thing came preinstalled. it is the top of the range system with 16 Gb of rRAM, 2 Tb hard drive to top graphics card etc. I used to be on Windows PC. Have more than 27,000 photos on the system. Much apprecite your reply and interest in this.

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
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

This may be of help to you:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Photoshop Elements 9 and iPhoto

Hi
I am still struggling with compatiblity between these 2. I have set PSE 9 as my external photoeditor. When I double click on a jpeg thumbnail in iphoto it opens PSE but doesn't transfer the image. I can only transfer the image by dragging it across.
This is more of a hiccup than a major problem. However, after editing, I save my image by clicking jus the save button and it takes it to another file outside iphoto although I have set it to be saved directly over the original. Then when I come to import these edited images into the photo library, only some of them will import. For the rest I get the message " Unreadable Files 1. The following file could not be imported (The file is in the iPhoto Library)."
In case it makes any difference, the actual editing involves adding a layer with my company logo and adjusting the lighting; nothing very sophisticated.
I'm just trying to get all my photos together so I can upload them onto my website but they are now all over the place! Help? Please?!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you edit a photo and end up with one that has layers and want to keep the layered version you must save it to the Desktop and import as a new file. Otherwise the following may be of some help is using PSE from within iPhoto.
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.

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.

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.

How do aperture and iphoto interact

I am purchasing a new imac this week and am trying to get an idea on what software I want. I've been using adobe photoshop elements for the past few years when I needed to fix any photos and iphoto to sort and 'hold' my collection. I've been reading about aperture 3 and cannot find clear information on how it does or doesn't interact with iphoto.
From what I've been able to discern, aperture is more of a photo management system and PSE is more of a photo adjustment program.. correct?
So if I buy aperture3, when I download photos, does Aperture receive them or do they still come in through iphoto? And if it is the latter, do iphoto and aperture work together?
I've looked at some earlier posts but I have not found a clear answer. I do not want to duplicate software but I also was not that clear before on how iphoto and PSE might work together. It seemed like I had iphoto import the pictures and when I needed to, I opened pse and used it to fix or play with a photo.
I also have my camera software, but the sort of adds to my confusion. But maybe computers that don't have a program like iphoto need the camera software.
I'd appreciate hearing what works and what experienced aperture and/or PSE might tell me.

Hello Calxoddity, Roger and Kirby,
All three of your answers were very helpful and I appreciate your time. I tried to send this reply message a few minutes ago and when I went to hit send, it said I was not logged in... I HAD been logged in so maybe it timed out. Anyway, this post comes through twice I am sorry.
I was feeling pretty befuddled with what to do, adding this topic to the decision on which computer to buy, etc. So your time and wisdom helped me to get my needs into perspective. I think I will start with the newer iphoto that comes on my imac and get PSE9 since my version of PSE is very old.. LOL and then, spend some time learning about aperture 3, since as Roger mentioned, I can import/move the files over to aperture at a future time. Since aperture 3 is the most expensive, it seems a wise move.
Oh, did read Kirby's article/post, thank you, very well written to help a newbie get a handle, and will watch the online tutorial for aperture 3 as well. And maybe it will tell me there, but right now, with iphoto I can easily email a photo and I think it will easily be shared with an ipad2. If I get aperture 3 and use it instead of iphoto, does it have an easy interface for sharing via email and/or the ipad?
Thanks again, you are great!

The Basics on Integrating Photoshop Elements and iPhoto

I've been using iPhoto and PSE 4 for several months, and love what I can do with my pictures, but I haven't mastered exactly how to integrate the two. I'd really like to continue using iPhoto to organize my pictures, but I'm just not sure I "get" how to deal with pictures I've worked on in PSE and then want to bring back (with changes) into iPhoto. I guess I'm asking for ideas on a simple, effective workflow for a hobby user with a fair number of pictures to manage. It would be helpful to me to understand some of the "behind the scenes" stuff...why things should be done a certain way; this makes it easier to really "get" what's happening, and not have to keep re-reading what to do. Thanks.

When you import RAW files into iPhoto, the RAW is tucked safely away in your Originals folder, and iPhoto immediately places a jpeg version into the Modified folder. So if you open what you think is a RAW for editing, you are really just getting a JPEG. iPhoto can't edit RAW files at all. So, if you are importing a RAW and a jpeg version of every shot, then you are in fact doubling your library.
I agree that it is easiest to set up Elements as your external editor in iPhoto. I do this (and only use jpegs, too). Select photos in iPhoto, double-click to open in Elements, edit, save. This save creates a modified version in iPhoto and is reflected in the iPhoto library immediately. However, if the file name or extension changes and requires a Save As, this will not link to the original in iPhoto. So do any Save As-ing to a folder outside of the iPhoto library, then import to iPhoto as a new original. In iPhoto I have a keyword to identify photos that I've edited in Elements. It used to bother me that I spent all that time editing a photo, only to have it get mixed in with all the others. With my "edited in PE 4" keyword I can find all my best edits quickly. This is my workflow for editing jpeg files.
My suggestion for your workflow with RAW files is to use Image Capture to upload from the camera to a folder - anywhere NOT inside the iPhoto library folder. Elements has a great RAW editing workspace, so with your RAW files in a non-library folder you could access them directly from Elements if you like to tweak your RAW files.
Then you have a choice. You could import the edited RAW files into iPhoto. Any subsequent editing would be done on the jpeg created in the Modified folder. You would not need to import your camera-created jpegs at all. (Unless you want to compare how your photo looked before and after you tweaked the RAW in Elements.) (Perhaps you had already imported the jpegs so you could view in iPhoto before you finished editing the RAW versions.) OR, leave the RAW files outside of iPhoto and only import the jpegs. But then, tweaking the RAW files wouldn't be that helpful, since you wouldn't see the outcome in iPhoto. Not a good choice, I guess. The bottom line is that if you want to edit your RAW files as RAW files, you should do so before importing into iPhoto.
iPhoto automatically adds a RAW keyword to RAW files, so they're easy to find. An organizational suggestion is to create separate film rolls in iPhoto for RAW and jpeg. So if you import some photos today you could name one roll 20070123...RAW and the other 20070123...jpg. There may be a good reason to keep the jpeg versions independently from the RAWs, but I can't think of one specifically. Is it easier to print from jpeg? Does it make exporting faster, since you don't have to convert the files as you export? I honestly don't know, because I've never used RAW.
I don't have a simple answer, but maybe this information will help you decide what works for you.

Elements 6 and iPhoto

I am trying to open a file(photo) in Elements 6 straight from iPhoto.
Every time I try to access an event it hangs up, when I go look in a folder and select an image they disapear, again I have to force quit to get out.
Is there an issue between iPhoto and Elements 6 that is preventing this?
Thanks
Pete

Pete:
First here's how one should use PSE from within iPHoto (I may be preaching to the choir here):
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.

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.
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".

So any time you try to open an event to look at the photos iPhoto hangs, right? First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. See if that will help. If not, try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

PSE11 and iPhoto '11

I have setup and I am using PSE11 as my external editior for iPhoto '11 without any problems. I'm using .NEF (Nikon RAW). Once I'm done editing my pictures, I have to save a jpeg version to the desktop and reimport into iPhoto. Is there a better easier way to save my edited image in iPhoto?
Thanks

Well that rather demonstrates my point about not understanding the difference between the two apps, their places in the workflow and lossless processing, doesn’t it?
PSE is an excellent editor but not a good manager. Very simply, iPhoto offers lossless processing, PSE doesn't. iPhoto is intergrated throughout the OS PSE isn't. You can use PSE in association with iPhoto as an external editor.

Organizer and iphotos

I have pse 9 and it's associated Organizer. Org. cannot import photos from iPhotos, in fact it does not even recognize the version of iPhotos that I have. I have the latest version which is 9.6. PPS 9 Org. appears to only address '09 and '11, 9.6 is a later version. Are there any updates fro Adobe that will fix this problem?

You need to first do the set-up in iPhoto prefs.
- Open iPhoto and choose iPhoto >> Preferences.
- Select the General tab.
- Click the Edit Photo menu and select In Application.
Then navigate to:
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
Highlight the editor application and click Open
Then close iPhoto Prefs.
You should now be able to edit normally from the iPhoto Library e.g.
Double-click to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in elements editor.
N.B. Choose your version number if different from the above example for PSE12

Linking up PSE 11 to iPhoto

Hello,
I use a Mac, and I’m trying to link up my iPhoto with PSE 11 Editor. I’d like to edit photos in PSE 11 Editor, while storing and managing them in iPhoto.
I sought help in this forum before and was sent a link with instruction about linking up the two programs and was sent the following instructions to establish the connection:
iPhoto>Preferences>General>Edit photo>Application>PSE Editor>Support Files>PSE Editor.
But Preferences>General doesn’t provide an Edit photo option. I got Edit photo under the Advanced tab, and selected PSE 11. The panel doesn’t provide an option for linking up iPhoto to PSE 11 Editor. In fact it doesn’t provide any options.
I would appreciate any tips for connecting my iPhoto to my PSE 11 Editor.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Surma

Thanks for your response, Barbara. Yes, I get to the panel on which "in Photoshop Elements Editor" is selected and highlighted. But it doesn't provide further options, telling me what I should do next to link up iPhoto to PSE 11 Editor. No "OK" or "Next" button. I'm stuck there! Thanks. Surma
