Refreshing thumbnails/view in iphoto after editing in photoshop

I imported some images into iPhoto 08. The original images were then edited in Photoshop.
Problem: Once I open up iPhoto to look th eimages, they are not updated with the changes unless I go to full size mode. how do i update the views like it does automatically if edited in iPhoto itself.
Regards,
Ashwath

Ashwath:
Here's how you should use Photoshop to edit photos in iPhoto:
Editing photos in iPhoto with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
1 - setup PS or PSE as theeditor of choice in iPhoto's General preferences.
2 - open the photo to be edited, perform the desired edits and use the Save menu option.
3 - if you get this window go ahead and save.
4 - if your edit is one that has PS/PSE changing the format to its own, psd, the you'll get this window.
5- choose the option you want and save as indicated in the screenshot.
These methods will let iPhoto know an edit has taken place and the thumbnail will be updated to reflect the edit.

How to organize photos in iPhoto after editing in Photoshop Elements?

Hello. This is my first post with this group. I have iPhoto set up to automatically go to Photoshop Elements (PE) for editing. That works just fine, but I have never learned an easy way to get edited images back into the original iPhoto folder (Event).
I've been flattening the layers in PE and saving as a JPEG or TIF to my desktop. Then I drag to iPhoto. I often make multiple versions of the same image and wish there was an easier way to get these versions into iPhoto, preferably into the same Event the original photo came from.
Is this possible? I also wish I didn't have to flatten because I want to be able to edit in layers again if necessary. I have about given up and have been storing non-flattened images elsewhere on the computer.
Thanks,
dgjtalkin

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This may 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.
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

Can't save files back to iPhoto after editing in Photoshop Elements

Hi
I am tring to edit pictures in Photoshop Elements 2.0. Here are the Steps i am doing
1. Open iPhoto 6.0.4
2. Go to the picture in the slideshow that i am trying to edit
3. Double click the picture to open in an external editor (Photoshop Elements 2.0)
4. Make my changes in PS
5. Try to save file. Save as a JPG I am trying to replace the original file (it is in the modifiled folder)
-- here is the problem
Can not replace the file--I get the message, "you do not have the right privileges."
So I check the permissions on the file. The original jpg file is a read only file, so I change it.
However I get the same error message.
I don't understand. Any help would be greatly appriceated. This is taking all the fun out of editing my images.
Thanks for your help.

ccorbly:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By your statement I take it you've setup PSE in iPhoto's preferences as the editor of choice when you double click on a thumbnail, right? That's how it should be.
iPhoto puts the edited version of the file in a separate folder titled Modified. So you don't want to try to force save to the same location as the original file. If you opened the file in PSE as you've stated (this indicated that you've set up iPhoto's preferences to use PSE when you double click on a thumbnail or photo) all you have to do is do a Save as long as the extension has not been changed to .psd. If PSE wants to use that extension then you need to either do a Save As to the desktop and import the new .psd file
OR f
1 - flatten the image
2 - do a normal Save
3 - in the next window select jpg
4 - hit Save
5 - select Replace.
6 - select quality and the format options and hit the OK button.
If you look close you'll see that you're in the Modified folder of the Library and not the Originals folder.
Now if that's what you're doing and you still get the permissions thing, try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

After editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4

after editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4 can anyone help?

In Library, set your sort order to Filename instead of Added order and see if the files show up, then.
How are you doing the Save in PS, using Save or Save As—one will show up, one won’t, I think, but I don’t remember which.

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

Kernel Panic on Snow Leopard after editing in Photoshop

BUG: LR2.0 shows duplicate drive after edit in photoshop export

Lightroom 2.0 shows a new duplicate drive after edit in photoshop export. file opens as DNG in photoshop, saves as PSD, and saves to the right folder on the hard drive. But lightroom now shows 2 "drive G"'s(that's my image vault drive letter) The folders are correct, the second drive only contains the edited psd files. display in explorer shows the file in the right location with the original DNG file. This is a random event not every edited file displays under the second drive. I have a total of 6 files (I had more, but I moved my image vault to a new drive and fixed the ten I had at that time.)

No I had to do it manually. When I had lightroom 2, here's what would happen.
1. My external drive would show up, but all the photos would be marked as missing.
2. I would then relocate the photos, which I had do do directory by directory. At this time I did not have all of them under a master directory.
3. As I relocated them, the second drive would show up, which would contain all my directories as I located them.
4. After I had relocated all the directories, I would delete the now empty duplicate - which has been the original - drive.
5. After I shut down LR and restarted, the whole process would begin again.
6. After I installed 2.1, I put all my directories under a parent directory, relocated the parent, it found all the files, automatically deleted the ghost duplicate, and I have not had the problem since.
Hope all this makes sense,
Good luck

Lost thumbnail view in iPhoto Library

I've been working on a very large iMovie project which is not going so well and somehow I lost my thumbnail views next to the iPhoto Library Source. I have tried everything, and like when I click on "View" I cannot highlight "show thumbnails". I have researched topics and found one that talks about the Pictures Folder & what folders contain what, and nothing on how to get my thumbnails back. It is almost impossible to organize without them. Help please, I don't know what happened.
Thank You,
Marge

Marge,
In the view menu, "show thumbnails" is only an active option when you are in one of iPhoto's edit modes: it refers to the horizontal strip of thumbnails that can be shown (or hidden) across the top of the iPhoto window. When you are viewing your library or an album, it is normal for this option to be gray.
That being said, what do you see in the iPhoto window? Are any of your photos visible? Do you have blank gray squares? Have you tried using the slider in the bottom right of the window to change the size of the thumbnails (if this is all the way to the right you will only see one photo at a time).
Have you ever used the Finder to change anything in your iPhoto Library folder in any way? (This includes renaming and moving files or folders.) This causes big problems, so if you have, post back with some details and we'll try to help you repair the damage.
If iPhoto is acting quirky you can delete its preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Find it inside Home/ Library/ Preferences. Then when you launch iPhoto your preferences will be reset to their defaults, so you may need to reset them back to your liking.
One more thing to try is a database rebuild. Hold the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto. Check the first 3 options and let it work. It can take a few minutes. This process allows iPhoto to recreate its database file, which can improve performance and stability if that file was causing problems.
Post back with some of the above info, and we'll go from there.

I am unable to transfer my pictures from iphoto after editing back to my external hard disc. How do I do it. Previously I used Windows and this is the first time I am using a Macbook. Need help and tutorials.. Where can I find em..

Hi there, I am new to Apple Iphoto. I am having lots of problems in transferring my edited photos back to my external Hard disc after editing. How am I able to do it. will it be able to open in Windows OS... Previously I was using Windows and now i m new in using the Apple OS.. Need guidance.. Would really appreciate if any1 of u guys could help me through. are there any other applications that I could use to edit pictures.

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.

When is my RAW file changed? Upon import? Upon viewing? Only after edit list started?

All:
I now have a "second copy" made in a separate hard drive when I import files from my camera cards. I want an untouched file for possible comparative "developing" or rendering in DxO or PhotoNinja. Might convert everything to DNG someday.
Asking LR to do this at the top of the Import pane is I assume, creates a copy *and* makes NO changes to the RAW data.
OTOH, Lightroom will offer me the image in Camera Raw to view, create, and interpret my edit/develop decisions. But I have been thinking about this and need to ask all of you: Is that CR2 file in my dated Lightroom database folders a changed file in any way from the RAW file while it was still on the card? The decision to hold edit data in sidecar files plays a part in this, right? External sidecar files means even after edits I can copy the CR2 file and use it in other [RAW]converter's software?
jonathan7007

Being a "non-destructive editor", Lightroom does not (cannot) change your CR2 files....with one exception, which is when/if you choose to edit the capture time of an image, in which case the changed date is written back into the file header's EXIF field. But apart from that, it is never ever changed.....all edits are stored primarily in the catalog's database, and optionally you can have them written into XMP sidecars. Having the XMP sidecar would allow you to open the raw file in another XMP-capable Adobe program, outside Lightroom, and see the edits applied. Not sure if other non-Adobe raw converters would be able to interpret all of that XMP info.
For non-proprietary raw files (e.g. DNG, Tiff), you can also choose to save the XMP data but in this case it would be written directly into the files header, not into sidecar files. The underlying image data is still, however, unchanged.

After editing with photoshop and saving, can't find it

1) After editing a photo with Photoshop, save it, I can't find it. Only the original unedited photo is in my library.
2) I tried adding a name extension to the DSC...., but can't find that either.
3) Where can I resize photos using Iphoto editing?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Faces lost after editing in Photoshop Elements 6

I just upgraded to iLife '09. I use iPhoto 8.1.2 to organize my photos and Photoshop Elements 6 to edit them externally. My problem: when I edit a photo that has Faces data in PE 6 and then view the (updated) photo in iPhoto, the face data is gone and I have to reassign it manually. I don't think this is how it's supposed to work, otherwise what's the point of using an external editor. I've rebuilt my iPhoto Library a couple time to no effect. Appreciate any help on this.

Cannot revert to original after editing in Photoshop

I recently used Photoshop to edit a photo I had in iPhoto. After making my changes in Photoshop, I saved the photo and the changes were reflected in iPhoto. I now want to revert the photo to the original, but when I tried to do this in iPhoto it would not allow me. The message in iPhoto said I could not revert to original because it was edited in an external editor or an earlier version of iPhoto. I thought iPhoto was supposed to retain the option to revert to original even when edited and an external editor. Is this correct? I tried changing the default settings for editor from iPhoto to Photoshop, but that did not make a difference when I repeated the process. What other options can I try?

This explains how to use PS from within iPhoto:
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.

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.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Saving after editing in photoshop

This seems to be a recurring problem. I have RAW files showing in iPhoto, I go to external editor Photoshop CS6 and save as tiff or JPEG. Why do my changes not save? They appear to save, but I can't find them or see them in iPhoto.

When RAW files are edited a new file is created. It must be saved to the Destkop and imported as a new photo. It's the nature of the beast.

Lightroom 5.5 not selecting images after editing in photoshop cs5

I recently did the 5.5 update and now after cmd E editing in photoshop after I save and close a file it is auto imported into lightroom but not selected. I am using filters but that is the only variable I could see affecting it. It used to be done automatically and only takes me a second longer but I'm editing files hundreds at a time and every second counts.

Most likely you need to change the Sort order of your images. In Library - Grid view there is a tool bar at the bottom of the grid window. If the tool bar isn't visible, hit [ T ] to activate it. Change the sort order to Filename or Capture Time. It is probably set to Added Order.
