Returning pics from external editor?

I am using elements 12 as an external editor and cannot seem to get the edited pic back in aperature.
I have seen it work for others but I must be missing a setting>
Help?

What are your settings for the external editor? You need to point the external editor to the Elements application, not the folder containing the application.
Point the editor to:
Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 12>Support Files>Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
And in Elements use "Save" not "Save as".

Can't edit pics in external editor

I can't open anything from my iPhoto library up in Photoshop. For instance, if I Control+click an image in iPhoto, I see that there is an option Edit in External Editor," but it's all un-clickable and gray rather than the normal clickable black. How can I open my iPhoto pics in Photoshop?

And note that after editing in an external editor you "save" to return the photo correctly to the iPhoto library and update the iPhoto database - do not save as which will create a new photo and not be a part of the iPhoto library until it is imported
Also after configuring an external editor you can set the edit in back to in main window and normal editing will be by iPhoto - right clicking brings up the additional options including the external editor

Modified versions from external editor are not shown in browser, why?

After I modify an image in Silver Efex and save it , the image is not shown in it's modified form in the browser. When I open the image it shows as modified.

Remember when you return an image from an external editor/plugin the returned image is made into a new master. Are you sure you're looking at the correct image in Aperture?
If that's not it post back describing the exact steps you are taking from sending the image to the plugin until you're back in Aperture.

Back to iphoto from external editor?

I set PhotoShop Elements as my external editor so when I edit a pic in iphoto it opens up in the PhotoShop edit window. How do I save the file so it goes back to iphoto? When I hit save, I'm asked where - so where do I save to iphoto?
Many thanks, M.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Are you seeing what's in these screenshots?
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
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.

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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

When I open a pic in external editor it converts it to 72dpi

I am using Photoshop CS as my external editor. How do i change this?

Homem,
Facing this limitation/challenge, I developed a workaround in Photoshop CS: after importing the cropped image into Photoshop from Aperture, I activate an action I've set up that sets the image size, dpi, and 16 bit mode. I then apply sharpening, add my watermark, and save the image back into Aperture for printing and arrangement within its stack. Really works well and makes for a nice workflow until such time as Aperture has matured more and makes movement to Photoshop less necessary.

HELP! RETURN CLOB from External DLL

Hi
I am working on an External DLL using OCI. Basically, PL/SQL
calls an
External DLL to process the data and then returns LOB back to
the PL/SQL
procedure. Inside the DLL, I created a Temporary lob to process
the data.
The error is prompted from PL/SQL:
SQL> exec isdb.test_clob;
Before original length=10
ORA-24805: LOB type mismatch
ORA-06512: at "ISDBSVR.ISDB", line 24
ORA-06512: at "ISDBSVR.ISDB", line 29
ORA-06512: at line 1
So far I know that error is caused by the return from PLS_CLOB
is not clob.
"After_original := PLS_CLOB(before_original); {you will see more
code in the
below}" However inside the DLL, I have defined OCIClobLocator
and
OCI_TEMP_CLOB to carry the CLOB data.
I have found the following observations:
1. If I change everything to blob, it works fine. (such as
OCILobLocator,
OCI_TEMP_CLOB and all variables in PL/SQL)
2. If I run the same DLL and PL/SQL in 9i, it works fine (clob
too)
I guess it would be a bug for clob, please help to check thanks

Deleting versions from external editor

I am sure this question has come up before, but I cannot seem to find it in a forum search.
I have my original RAW in Aperture. I use the "Open with external editor" command, make changes in PhotoShop and save. Aperture now has the "original" RAW and the "altered" PS file.
However, now I decide that I don't like the PS edits and want to delete that file. When I select is and choose "delete version" I get a dialog stating that a master will be deleted and there is no undo. If I allow the delete, the PS version and the original RAW are both trashed. I want to keep the RAW and delete the "altered" PS version.
What am I doing wrong and is there any way around this?

Yes, it should only delete the edited version if you have the edited version and only the edited version selected and not as just the main selection with the others in the stack selected. It should also delete any versions made from the edited master, but should leave the original master and it's versions intact.
I just tested this on my system and it did as expected.
Just take a sample image and import it with the sole intention of opening with the external editor and then selecting just the externally edited and deleting it. I know you're sure you had just the edited master selected, but are you sure sure?

Saving from external editor

My wife is using iPhoto 8 on a Lion system and Adobe Elements for editing. The edits in Adobe are no longer being saved directly to her iPhoto library and updating the orginal photo like they used to.
Any idea why? Is there a way to get it working again?

1 - nothing has ever updated the original in iPhoto - iPhoto has from teh begining kept the original intact and unchanged
2 - typically you set PSE (Photoshop elements which I assume you speaking of) as teh external editor and do the edit and in PSE save (not save as) an it goes back to iPhoto as the modified version
Please describe more about your question

Action Box config to return data from external transaction

Hi All,
My problem is that we need to config the action box on the win client to call an external transaction in R/3, return some data ( room reservation line items ) and then add them as service order line items into the CIC once the user has completed the external transaction.
We've configured the action box to call a BOR method on R/3 which runs the room reservation program in R/3 and gets the results. I've configured the action box to pass data from the BDD into the R/3 system which works fine (via data flow).
I have set-up a return parameter in the data flow in the action box config but I'm not sure how to get the data out of the return parameter. I can't find any documentation telling me where the return parameters can be accessed. Are these parameters just dumped into the BDD?
I know how to create line items in the service order but I don't know where to put my code.
Please help
Richard

HELP! Import iPhoto 4 pics from external drive into iPhoto 5

I had computer issues so cleared my hard drive which was with iPhoto 4
Moved the entire iPhoto Library to my external.
When they updated my software they used the 5 version.
Now I am having issues getting iPhoto 5 to recognize my data.
I have tried various way indicated... but each one presents with a different problem.
* If I pull them directly from the External drive to the Photo finder window - then when I open iPhoto i get the spinning wheel for HOURS (quit after 12).
* If I drag them directly to Iphoto (either the entire folder OR year by year)
They do show up in iPhoto, however, in iPhoto ALL dates are the date I pulled the iPhoto Library onto my External drive. Also, when in iPhoto there are film roles, however, the events are mixed up.
I have tried this about 10 times, all different ways, my latest is now it imports them in DUPLICATE (and I had deleted teh thumb files prior to import)
My question:
How do I pull my iPhoto 4 library into iPhoto 5 and KEEP proper fiilm roles to include 1) Correct pictures in each 2) correct dates and 3) preserve the role titles 4) not duplicated
HELP!!!
THANKS!

Here are some instructions from Apple in iPhoto Help that explain how to switch from your normal iphoto library (on your internal drive) to your older iphoto library (on your external drive:
"You can switch from the photo library you're currently working on to another one you've already created.
1.Quit iPhoto.
2.Rename your current iPhoto Library folder in the Finder or move it to a new location on your hard disk, and then open iPhoto.
3. Tip: If you don't want to rename or move your current iPhoto Library folder, hold down the Option key while opening iPhoto.
4. Click Find Library.
5. Choose the library you want to display.
6. Click Open.
The library appears in the iPhoto viewing area."
If you succeed in doing this, you can thus direct your iphoto 5 program to open the iphoto 4 library on your external. If this succeeds, iphoto 5 will automatically convert that library to iphoto 5. Then you can burn your external drive iphoto 5 library to CD or DVD using the "burn" function from within iphoto. It is best if you can fit everything on one CD or DVD, but if not, you can burn by album, or by roll, or even by date. Make sure you burn this disk (or these disks) from within iphoto 5. Then, following the above instructions again, revert back to your internal drive iphoto 5 library. Then, while iphoto is running, insert those CDs/DVDs you burned from within iphoto earlier and when you do, each will appear inside iphoto along with your other albums. Each CD or DVD, as you insert it, will look like another album. You can then import those into your existing internal drive library. Unless you hhave many thousands of photos, this should not take a long time.
By the way, if ALL your photos are in that external drive iphoto library, you can first quit iphoto and then you can drag it over and replace your internal drive iPhoto Library with the external drive iPhoto Library. Then iPhoto 5 will convert the older library automatically when it starts up.
Before doing any of these things, I suggest backing up all your photos to something safe as if there is some corruption in your original library, it could get mangled in a way that makes it unusable and then you'll need that backup.
I have actually done what I have descriibed above. We have an older iMac G3 with iPhoto 4. We got my daughter a new iMac G5 which came with iPhoto 5. I copied over her iPhoto Library from the iMac G3 which had been running iPhoto 4, and when she started iPhoto 5 for the first time on the new iMac, it converted everything in the old iPhoto Library (created under iPhoto 4) to iPhoto 5.
You would only need the CDs/DVDs if you have two libraries you want to merge, one being an iPhoto 4 Library, and the other being an iPhoto 5 Library.
There is a guy named "Old Toad" who sometimes comments in this forum. He probably has a better way of doing this.

"Error has occurred in the script" when returning "Home" from external URL

Hello:
I've started incorporating video tutorials by our Subject Matter Experts into my Online Help, produced in RoboHelp HTML.
The first day I tried it, of course it worked, no problem.
The second day I tried it, it started doing this:
Pressing either Yes or No on the dialog must be done several times before the dialog goes away, and returns one to the home page in my HTML help. This page is within our website and works fine in any other browser under conventional circumstances. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hey Lew
One thought here. What if you inserted an inline frame? Are you using RoboHelp 9? If so, click Insert > HTML > IFrame. Configure the Inline Frame with the URL of the topic.
If you don't have RoboHelp 9, type XXX where you want the frame to be. Then select the XXX and flip over to HTML view. Change the <p> and </P> so they instead read <iframe> and </iframe>. Then return to WYSIWYG view. From there, size the frame as desired and you may then double-click it to see a dialog to change other attributes.
Might be worth trying if you really want the thing to appear as a topic in the Topic pane.
Cheers... Rick

IPhoto 7.1 Issues with colour from external editor

Further to my previous post.
When i saved a document edited in Photoshop CS3 to iPhoto 6 the process would be:
File>Save As, which in turn required three dialogue boxes to be checked, the last one being "Replace existing document with the edited version". This option no longer exists.
Any suggestions please as am totally confused.

When I edit a photo with PS CS3 and it remains a jpg file, I only get the window with the option to pick the compression/quality level of iPhoto. But if the edit I make requires a format change to psd then I get window shown below and have to pic one of the two options presented depending on if I want to keep it as a psd file or not.
If it stays a jpg then you will just get the quality level selection window.
Do you Twango?

External Editor in Sun Studio 8 IDE

When I invoke any external editor (Gvim or Xemacs) via File->Open File, a note dialog comes up which says:
Waiting for connection from external editor...... If you want to cancel external editor support and use the built-in editor instead, click Cancel
The external editor never comes up and the dialog box stays there until I click "Cancel".
While this might occur for a number of common reasons, which hopefully I've considered, while trying to troubleshoot, the solution was very strange. When my unix prompt contained a carriage return as in the following:
"413:sc:/home/server_k55/rbuckwa
as defined by:
PS1='!:$Hostname $PWD
the above described behavior occurred.
However, when the unix prompt did not contain a carriage return as in:
"sc{413}$"
defined by:
PS1="$Hostname{!}$ "
the IDE opened the file and the external editor successfully.
Does anyone have any explanation or experience with this strange behavior. BTW I'm running Solaris 8.
thanks,
rick

This sounds like a bug. We probably don't test with a prompt
containing a carriage return. You can file this bug using
http://bugs.sun.com if you like. Look for the "Sun Studio" categories.

Edit In external editors moves original image and returns edited image to end of filmstrip

When I edit an image from Lightroom 5.7 in an external editor such as Photoshop or Portraiture I want the original image to keep its place in the filmstrip and I want the returned edited image to join it in a stack at that location. Instead, the original image gets moved to the end of the filmstrip and the edited one is returned to stack with it at the end of the filmstrip.
Upon Import I don't know if my images are sorted by filename or time created because both are in the same order coming from the camera.
Thank you.
LR 5.7 CC, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Have a look at the toolbar above the film strip. Ensure the sort order is set to capture time and not edit time.
Click the tiny triangle symbols to see all the sort options.
If the toolbar is not immediately visible press the T key once or twice to toggle on/off. The drop down arrow to the far right of the toolbar lets you choose what items are shown.
