Saving Edited Images to iPhoto '09

I am just beginning to learn to use Photoshop Elements 6 for the Mac. I want to edit my photos in PSE, but organize & store them in iPhoto. After I finish editing a photo in PSE, how to I return the edited photo back to iPhoto?
Thank you.

I have just started learning photoshop elements 6 for the Mac and I, too am having a terrible time with saving images. I bought the "Missing Manual Photoshop Elements 6 for the MAC" book and so far cannot find the answers.
I have set PSE as my photo editor in iphoto and when I double-click photos are indeed sent to PSE. My problem is I can't seem to save them back into iphoto. (After searching around this forum, I see that you cannot change name or format and then have iphoto create a version.) However, I have saved images without changing name or format and the new version seems to replace the original - the original is gone! When I go into iphoto I only see the originals if I DID change name or format. And then the new copy, in a different format or with new name, is not in iphoto!
I can find these new versions in PSE>Open. They seem to be in iphoto in a folder called "modified". However when I go into iphoto I cannot find this "modified " folder anywhere!!! Can I only open them thru PSE and are they actually stored in PSE or iphoto. Please help- so frustrated!!! Thanks

Saving edited images back to iPhoto

I'm having problems saving images in PSE back to iPhoto.
I have set up the preferences in iPhoto (11-for Mac) to use PSE 10 as the editting software. I have also followed Barbara B's guidance on setting the file saving options in PSE10 to 'One first Save' - 'Save over current file'. - but once I have editted an image and I wish to save it (back to iPhoto) I am instead given the usual choices associated with a 'save as...' option. To minimise effort, I then save the changed image to the Desktop and then drag it back to iPhoto.
I know this have been covered before I have read the solutions, but it seems that the changed image it not automatically being imported back to iPhoto.
Perhaps I have not set up the Preferences correctly - any suggestions?

If you start the process in iPhoto by hitting the edit button near bottom right, then any changes made in the external editor should update automatically after you save in Elements (Cmd+S) and close (Cmd+W)
The process is not always smooth with raw files but should work with jpegs.
Note, you cant use the editing tool in iPhoto once you set up Elements editor as the external editing app.

Having trouble saving edited images back to organizer.

After I save images in Editor, they don't always "save".
I get "IAC error failed message", and sometimes image doesn't save at all after numerous editing steps.
Thanks in advance.

Saving edited image back to photoshop from lightroom

In Lightroom 4 and Photoshop cs5 I could export to Photoshop from lightroom...edit....then save and the edited photo would go back to Lightroom complete with edits. Now in LR5 and CC the edited image does not go back to LR I have tried syncing no avail...any idea?

I just recently started trying to use my Photoshop CS3, after acquiring it 3 years ago, and never quite getting around to tackling it, since I was still using good old PS v.7.0. I finally made the leap. What a shock! The CreativeSuites version is entirely different from the old versions, and, so far, impossible for me to figure out. Most of the functions I was used to are drastically reconfigured from standard PS's. (I'm going to have to get a Users' Manual or take another class.)
One thing I DID figure out is the function you are questioning. Export a downloaded iPhoto shot - from your iPhoto - to the desktop; Open Photoshop and open the iPhoto shot (will be in the Preview mode) in Photoshop, save as a Photoshop tiff, and do whatever editing, retouching, etc. in Photoshop. Save, and then from iPhoto, import - fom desktop - back into iPhoto Library.
If anyone know where i can get a comprehensive (beginners") manual on how to use the CreativeSuite version of Photoshop, please communicate! (After 3 years, I can't locate any manual that may have come with the software and there is no PDF version that I can find on line. I am completely mystified.)

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:
Photoshop in 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.
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.

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.
Click to view full size
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.

Editing Freezes in iPhoto 6.0.3 Resolved

I was having serious issues Editing images using iPhoto 6.0.3 (the program would stop responding when clicking on various operations and required restarting), but found some areas where the program worked and areas where it didn't:
By going in to Preferences I set it to edit when I double-clicked an image with different actions via:
In Main Window: Stops Responding
In Separate Window: Stops Responding
Using Full Screen: Works
In (other app): Works
The same applied when right-clicking and image and selecting Editing methods from the menu. It also stopped responding when I clicked on the "Slideshow" menu and had to be restarted.
I tried all of the solutions offered in the several threads on this subject, including reinstalling 6.0.3 and OS X updates over the existing, but nothing worked.
What finally DID work was deleting the iPhoto app itself and reinstalling it from disk and then I did NOT upgrade it to 6.0.3. I looked at the 6.0.3 update details, improvements in photocasting and sharing etc. and decided they were not issues I had been previously having and so I don't feel that I need that particular update. I'll see what future updates offer and update if it seems to fix or improve anything substantial at that time, leapfrogging what I consider to be a BUGGY 6.0.3 update for a number of users and see where I am then.
For now, after updating and then re-importing my last import of images that I had concerns about, everything is working fine. I can see no features in 6.0.3 that are not in 6.0.
JoeL

Neil:
iPhoto has the library name in the title bar for me. Started with V6 and still does so with 6.0.3. A couple of times witb 6.0.2 it seemed to not do that but then started up again. Didn't do anything to try to correct it but maybe some of my permissions repairs for other issues helped. You might give it a try.

How to save photoshop CS5 extended edited photos in iphoto on Mac?

Hi this is my first post on here, so i'm unsure if i have put my question in the right place? etc....?
I have only just purchased CS5 extended and have just been on a intro course, and today decided to edit a few of my photos in photoshop.
i opened my photo from iphoto and edited it fine, that part was fairly easy to do, once i had finished i then went to file to save my photo, which i thought was straight forward as per click on 'save' once i had done that i closed the photo down, then moved onto another photo to edit.
after which i was looking through the iphoto folder, and i noticed that the photos i had edited using photoshop were still showing the parts of the picture that i had edited out i.e. overhead cables were showing in the picture! when i clicked on the photo to make it larger the edited version appeared.. i.e. no cables were showing!!
now am i going mad here, how has this happened? the next time i did a 'save as' and selected to save as and replace the original, but yet again the small picture in the folder is still displaying the original, now how am i going to know which photos have been edited and which haven't unless i click on them to make them large and show up the edited version!!!!! do i need to save the edited photo in a differnt way?
sorry for the long post but i wanted to give you all the info i thought might be of help.
Many thanks if you have read this far and i await your comments....Marie

Forget about iPhoto. Honestly.
iPhoto doesn't play nice with Photoshop—or any other program, as a matter of fact.
iPhoto uses a "libraries" paradigm and buries your images deep in "packages" only iPhoto can access. (Sure, there are workarounds, but what a hassle!).
I routinely delete the iPhoto application from all my OS X installs.
I suppose what you can do—if you insist on using that program—is to open the Photoshop-edited image with iPhoto and do a Save As from iPhoto itself.

I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.

Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Edited Images do not appear in iPhoto Library Display

I edit my photos using Photoshop Elements 4. If I save the modifiations under the same file name the changes appear in my iPhoto library. If howerver I do a "save as" and modify the name of the file, I don't see the new version of the image in iPhoto. If I search by name I can see the modified photo (located in modified folder) and can even print it using Canon Easy Photo Print. I just can't get the image to appear in my photo library. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
PS: Any idea when Adobe comes with a verion of Photoshop Elements integrated for MAC?

If you do a "Save as," you're defeating the interaction between PE and iPhoto. If you do a "Save," iPhoto will of course retain both the modified (saved) version and the original "out of the camera" version to which you can always revert.
It appears that you want a third version and that's your reason for a "Save as." Don't put that file inside the library - iPhoto will never know it's there (as you've discovered). Save this file on the desktop. Then, separately use iPhoto to "import" it into the library. Afterwards, you can trash the file that's on the desktop.
"PS: Any idea when Adobe comes with a verion of Photoshop Elements integrated for MAC?"
I consider the two apps to already be integrated quite well.

How do I save an edited image back to my iPhoto gallery?

How do I save an edited image from Elements back into my iPhoto gallery?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photo from iphoto, work on it in PSE and save it without changing the name or format (you don't want to see the Save As window) and iphoto will remember your original + last saved version, although you'll have to lose the edits to see the original again. This doesn't work for raw files and you will probably need to set the Editor preferences>saving files>on first save to save over existing to get it to work for other formats.
2. Export the photo to the desktop, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes you want, save the file in any format with any name you like, then import the edited photo to iphoto as a new file.

Edited images not showing up in iphoto

when I edit images in photoshop elements and save them they do not show up in iphoto. I am saving them as tiffs.

I am saving them as tiffs.
But what were they?
If there is a format change - from jpeg to tiff, from Raw to something else - then you need to save the files to the desktop first and then import them as new files.

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

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.

Can I use iPhoto to view and edit images not stored in the iPhoto Library

Hi folks,
I'm a newbie to Mac after 20+ years on PC...just switched 2 weeks ago....wish I'd done it years ago. Everythings so easy and fast...e.g. setup wireless broadband in 25 mins with no probs....and I have never done anything like that.
Here's my Q.
I have a load of images, downloads and scans, of old manuscripts, authors etc. which I don't really want in my iPhoto library (which I would like to keep for actual photos. Is it possible to point iPhoto to another location (say in Documents) where it will let me view and edit these images without importing them into the library.
Alternatively can I view images as thumbnails in this other locations, and not as default file type icons.
Hope this is plain,
JP_MAC
Imac G5 17" 1.9Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi jp-mac,
iPhoto 5 imports all images into it's own database. (this has changed with iPhoto 6 so you might want to check out iLife 6)
The other files you want to view but not have in the library...are they image files?
If so, you can view that folder as icons and then make the icons larger so you can see what they are.
To do this open the folder in question. click the first icon on top of View in the toolbar. This will make that folder contents view as icons
Now go all the way to the top of your screen and click on View>show view options.
Slide the icon size slider all the way to the right to view them larger. Also make sure you have the "show icon preview" checked.
This will work most of the time, but sometimes if you edit images in other applications they might not make icon previews, so check their preferences to make sure you have that checked.
There is also a little third party program that will do it for you.
One is called Pic2Icon
Pic2Icon
Another one is a contextual menu item called QuickImageCM.
QuickImageCM
check out that page because there are some other useful contextual menu items that I use all the time.
