Resetting preference for external editing software

When I bought Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, I set the General, Editing preference "In application" for that application. Now I have Elements 8 installed, but cannot figure out how to change the preference selection. iPhoto Help and the Missing Manual for iPhoto do not answer. Any advice would be appreciated.

In exactly the same way.
Where it said 'In Application' it now has the name of the app. Select it again and the window to choose a new app will open.

Color Space for external editing

I know I can set LightRoom Preferences to open an image in Photoshop, but it seems my only choices are ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB or sRGB as working spaces. I'd like to set it up to use BetaRGB as my standard editing space. I know I could open in ProPhoto and convert to Beta RGB, but that is an extra step each and every time I edit an image. I would prefer to go straight from LR to Beta RGB in Photoshop.
Is there any way to do this or am I stuck with one of the big three? If I can change it, how?
Thanks,
Lou Dina

Thanks...that'll work, though I'd prefer if Adobe allowed the use of any profile for external editing to retain the features you mentioned.
I just created an Export preset, with Beta RGB, full sized PSD, save to same folder, add to catalog and open in Photoshop after the export is complete. That'll work.
Thanks,
Lou

Lightroom 4 doesn't detect Photoshop Elements 9/10 for external editing

Hi,
I own Photoshop Elements 9 and recently decided to install trials of Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 10. For whatever reason, Lightroom doesn't detect Photoshop Elements 9 or 10 for external editing. I need to make sure this functionality works before proceeding with purchasing Lightroom and possibly Photoshop Elements 10. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Matt

List of supported Nikon cameras. I think you're out of luck for tether-shooting.
Nikon

Notes on Nikon cameras
If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
Images do not save to the compact flash card. They are only downloaded to the computer.
Only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time.
Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6 are not officially supported for the D3x, D90, and D5000, but they can still work.

Which option do you use? PSD or TIFF for external edits?

I'd like to hear why you use PSD or TIFF for external edits. Why do you choose one over the other? Do you wish you had a choice, as in an option, when you click on Edit in External Editor?

I did a little reading on this and this is what I have found so far:
Deke McClelland in Adobe Photoshop CS2 one-on-one states:
"TIFF is a wonderful format to use when handing off CMYK files because it enjoys wide support and prints without incident."
He also states "Photoshop also lets you save layers to the TIFF and PDF formats, but where multilayer compositions are concerned, the native PSD Format enjoys wider support among other imaging applications (including, older versions of Photoshop itself)."
Classroom In A Book states:
"TIFF is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible format supported by virtually all pain, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all destop scanners can produce TIFF images.
"PSE is the default file format. Because of the tight integration between Adobe products, other Adobe applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe GoLive can directly import PSD files and preserve many Photoshop features.
Apple Aperture 1.5 by Mike Cuenca:
"PSD: The Photoshop proprietary format is widely used by digital imaging professionals because it supports the storage of alpha channels and layers. Aperture will preserve this extra data byt will not display the layers or channels. PSD files are not compressed, and although they are intended for use within Photoshop, they are becoming more widely accepted outside Photoshop."
"TIFF: The TIFF format is the recommended format for high quality storage of master images. It has a loss-less compression method that can be applied, but more often the images are stored uncompressed. The TIFF format is also the most widely used format for images destined to be printed on a printing press."
Maybe some of this will help

I'm looking for photo editing software

I am looking for photo editing software that is fairly easy to learn and I also want the feature of adding a splash of color to a black & white photo. I've seen there is Photoshope Elements and there is Lightroom. What is recommended?

For editing an Image, as you describe, Photoshop Elements would be my choice.
There is also a very helpful, and active Ps Elements Forum, where you will find easy instructions on doing what you describe, plus much more. Should you go with Ps Elements, that forum is: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
In general, if you have a Grayscale Image (B/W), just change the Color Mode to RGB, create a New Layer, and paint in the color that you want. However, since I do not use Ps Elements, there might be some extra things, that will help you get the desired results, and that Ps Elements Forum will be great at helping you.
Good luck,
Hunt

ReSetting preferences for a project?

I think things got scrambled, and I need to go back and reset preferences for a project. Shot on Canon 5D II, want to work at 1920x1080.
Does anyone know of a good online source for the way things should be reset at this point?
Many thanks.

What is wrong with the project?
You could use MediaManager and use the 'create offline' option rather than copy or move. Then create a new project and set the sequence settings to what you want.
Or just use cmd-0 to change the sequence settings directly.
That's just my immediate responses based on a lack of info.

How to change the suffix for externally edited files?

Hi,
How can I change the suffix Lightroom adds to externally edited files?
If I want it to be "-E" instead of "-Edit" for example, or "-Mod" instead of the long and ugly "-Modifier" in french version.
That would help me to get shorter filenames.
Thank you!

LR4.1 won't recognize PE 10 for external editing

I get this new iMac (OS 10.8.2) and I upgrade from LR3 to LR4.1. I had Photoshop Elements 10 loaded first before LR. The problem is when I am in LR4 and I want to edit a photo in the external editor. It opens PSE10 but no window and no photo. I was able to do this easily on a Windows machine matching LR3 and PSE10 and figured this would be just as easy. Not to fast apparently. What to do?

OK, I reinstalled and it got a little better. PSE10 would open but there seemed to be a struggle with the cursor flashing with a colored disk icon. In the meantime I was able to load CS6 and it seems to be working fine on its own and as an external editor for LR4. Any chance I'm picking the wrong file/folder for PSE10? There are a couple of tempting options:
Applications/Photoshop Elements 10
Applications/Photoshop Elements 10/Support Files/Photoshop Elements Editor

Reset Preference for Launch in Debug Mode

I accidently clicked "Don't ask me again" when queried whether I want to always launch in debug mode when I debug. How can I reset that. The obvious place under Run/Debug in preferences didn't work for me.

Hi Jeff,
I'm assuming that you are using JDev 9.0.3.
Make sure that your project has the "Oracle JDBC" library selected. This can be done on the Libraries panel of the Project Settings dialog box.
Are you saying that you get the ClassNotFoundException when you step through your program in debug mode, but when you run you program it works fine?

File format for external editing - reference or summary sought, please

I shoot in raw and typically edit files as ProPhoto uncompressed 16-bit TIFFs. It's been a while since I set that as my default and I can't remember what the tradeoffs were for compression and even PSD vs. TIFF. Is there a handy reference to help inform these choices? Thanks!

Thanks, web-weaver and Victoria. Do you know of a reference that summarizes how much file size can be saved in compression? Are there pluses and minuses of the two compressed formats? I saw that at least one of the Nik filters (Viveza) can only use an uncompressed file if of TIFF format.
I have done some more research on LZW vs. ZIP. http://vitaleartconservation.com/PDF/digital_image_file_formats_n_storage_v20a.pdf suggests that LZW will typically give about a 6% compression; ZIP will give more but, apparently, isn't as universal.

Per-preset file name format for external editing presets

This would be so that you could add an identifier of the program to the filename, as in [filename]-viveza, say, if you have edited the file in that plugin. That way, you would be able to track which programs you have filtered a particular file through.

HT202879 I would like to have a spreadsheet editing software for my new Template Numbers Pro but my operating system is 10.7. Are there other editing software programs (less the 10.9) that can work with this app?

Hi,
I am looking for some editing software for my new Template Numbers Pro. Numbers is 10.9, my computer is only 10.7. What do you suggest?
Thanks,

If it's the "Templates for Numbers Pro" on the Mac App Store then you need OSX 10.7 or later. You'll need iWork '09 or later.
It looks as if you want to use the iOS version of the same templates then you will need the latest Numbers there. And if you use the latest Numbers there and want to sync to the Mac, you'll need to have Mavericks and Numbers 3.

External Editing Shows Elements Not PS CS3

I have Windows Vista on a PC. I also have Photoshop CS3, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop Lightroom on my computer. When I started using LR, my preferences in LR showed PS CS3 as my primary external editing software for LR. That is the way I liked it. Now, all of a sudden LR is showing Elements as my primary external editor, but I don't know why this happened or how I can change it back to CS3. I have now, since the time Elements showed up as primary on my Preferences, inserted PS CS3 as my secondary editor under LR but I'd like to make CS3 my primary editor. Anyone know how to change the preferences the way I'd like?
FYI, even though I now use LR, I'd still like to keep Elements on my computer for period of time. Just in case I change my mind about LR or need to access my photos in a way I cannot in LR. I'd also like to avoid, if I can, changing the registry on my computer.
Thanks.
Peter

Yes, archiving means effectively what you wrote. Onna Mac, it's easy to zip the file in place, then delete the application.
If you do this, you probably won't have to deal with PS matters; but I should add you'd then delete the LR prefs, and reset. Then your PS CS3 should pop into place as the default.
As to the reinstall, better have a Windows person advise, but again, I'd try the first one first.

External editing does not work in LR4 (??)

external editing does not work in LR4 (updated from LR3 a few days ago)

Thank you.

Which process version is the image you're trying to edit externally?
You right-click (I'm assuming PC, can't help Macs), there should be a context menu option "Edit in". You choose that, and there's an option for Elements 10 or not?
If so, what happens when you select it? Do you get any further message?
If not, you may have to go to Edit menu, preferences, External Editing tab and create a preset for Elements. In the "Additional External Editor" area, click "Choose" and navigate to wherever Elements is on your machine and you can create a new external editor.
