Saving edited photos in PSE 12 from Lr 5

I have edited several photos in PSE 12 from Lr5
After selecting the item to edit with the magnetic lasso tool on the background layer and saving it in selections I created a new layer and reloaded the selection so far so good
After editing and then going to save the photo does not show in Lr, it is in the pictures folder but only the selection is visible and the background or unedited portion is white
I went into Lr and picked the appropriate folder and after right clicking selected syncronise folder the picture then is displayed in Lr.
Do I need to select or deselect or combine the layers before saving or am I missing some other commands out.
Please try to keep instructions simple new to these programs so all unfamiliar ar present.

You probabloy used Save As. So you created a new file which Lightroom knows nothing about.
You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD)
2) Edit in PSE; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in PSE and update Lightroom thumbnail.
On Mac OSX Cmd+E; Cmd+S; Cmd+W
Also make sure all your layers are visibe (eye symbol not turned off) before using Ctrl+S

You mean in the organizer? Go back to the edtior and save the way you would in any program (ctrl+S/command+S or File>Save) and close the image there.

Problems with saving edited photos using Photoshop Elements 5.0 on WIndows 8.

Since a week I can not save the edited photos - when I try the communicate: "Caould not complete your request because of a program error" appeares. I had no problem with saving edited photos before, with the same software. My computer runs on Windows 8, 64 bit version. My Photoshop Elements is version 5.0. Where is the problem?

Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

Saving edited photos in jpeg

I use Element 9. I am not alowed the option on the drop down list to select jpeg when saving edited photos. Please help!

Make sure the image is not 16 bits/channel and not bitmap or indexed color.
Image>Mode
Usually RGB Color and 8 bits/channel is the norm for saving as a jpeg.
Also if your document has layers (jpeg doesn't support layers) you would need to flatten the photo before being able to save as a jpeg.
If you want to keep the layers use a format such as psd or tif.

Can I send Edited Photos and Video from Lightroom 5 to Premiere 11?

I am new to Lightroom 5 and love the product. Can I export edited Photos and Video from Lightroom to Premiere Elements 11? I need more flexibility than Lightroom offfers. I want to mix Photos then Videos with different music files and create a DVD. Thank You...Rory...

Also, can I load the Lightroom itself onto an external hard drive and keep all my images off my laptop? If I edit them, do the edits remain on my laptop regardless of where the originals reside. I think that's the issue that I'm running into with Aperture: edits stay on my laptop even though originals are on an external HD.
Your photos can be on any hard disk, internal or external or network. If they are stored on an external hard disk, then when you import them into Lightroom, you select the ADD option and the photo will remain on your external hard disk. The edits are stored in your Lightroom catalog (as opposed to "remain on my laptop"). Once you import photos into Lightroom, you no longer want to manage them (move, copy, delete) using your operating system. You do all photo management in Lightroom.
If you transfer the photos properly, your edits, cropping, metadata, etc. will transfer to Lightroom, but I will leave the details to some expert on Aperture.
If I could offer some advice, I don't think you want to just transfer SOME of your photos to Lightroom. In my opinion, you want ALL of your photos managed by Lightroom, and not some in application 1 and some in application 2. This makes your life much easier when trying to find your photos, you don't have to think "Is this photo in Lightroom or is this in Aperture?" (Note: this doesn't mean you have to import all the photos from Aperture into Lightroom in one HUGE operation; you can certainly do the importing in manageable sized groups)

Saving edited photo separate from original

How do I save a photo that I have cropped and modified in other ways as a separate photo from the original? If I choose "return to original version" I lose the changes.
One other question if anyone can help me has to do with my iPhoto Library. I have a lot of photos, but none of them appear when I use Finder on iPhoto Library.
Thanks in advance.

How do I save a photo that I have cropped and modified in other ways as a separate photo from the original? If I choose "return to original version" I lose the changes.
Duplicate the pic first, and make your edits on the duplicate. If you want multiple versions from a single master you'll need to use another app - Aperture, for instance.
One other question if anyone can help me has to do with my iPhoto Library. I have a lot of photos, but none of them appear when I use Finder on iPhoto Library.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside the Library? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
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.

Saving Edited Photos

For Mac users how do I edit in Photo Elements 12 and organize and save my changes to Iphoto?

You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor in the iphoto prefs, then send the photos from iphoto. Save, not save as, without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your original plus the most recently saved edited version, but you will have to lose the edits to revert to the original.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, edit them and make all the changes to name or format that you like, then import the edited version back to iphoto as new photos. This way you can save as many states of your image as you like.

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.

Saving edited photos in original album

When I edit a photo in an album ie.rotate it, it will only save the edited photo in camera roll and not in the original album, how do I stop it from saving in camera roll?

Usually RGB Color and 8 bits/channel is the norm for saving as a jpeg.

Saving Edited Photos Reverts Settings to Reset Mode

hey everybody,
I have some great pictures i took at a concert I went to early this month. I've been playing with the 'sharpness' and the 'highlights' on some of the photos. When I go to the next photo, it says "Saving Changes" on the box that appears in my window. The altered photo appears in the thumbnail, and is A-Ok when i enlarge it, but it is reseting all of the edit options back to their original settings. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong would be appreciated.
Also, do the raw images uploaded from the camera get saved anywhere even if they files are edited?
Thanks in advance,
Mastodon

The altered photo appears in the thumbnail, and is A-Ok when i enlarge it, but it is reseting all of the edit options back to their original settings. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong would be appreciated.
How are you seeing this - if you export the photo or grab it via the media viewer it should be A-ok
Also, do the raw images uploaded from the camera get saved anywhere even if they files are edited?
The RAW is saved in the originals folder as the digital negative - the edited photo is saved as a JPEG in the modified folder - but do not go into the iPhoto library to get tehm - use iPhoto or the media viewer for all access to the photos in the library

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.

Photoshop 12 -Saving Edited Photo's

I used to be able to view both my original photos as well as edited ones in all my photo's. Now when I save the edited version, if I want to view the original, I must go through the stacks. Is there a setting that I can use, where when I save my edited photos' they will be included with the original?

I clipped this from Walmart's website I imagine they are all similar but it might be worth checking. HTH

* Zip file (containing JPEGS only)
When you use our QuickUpload tool on a Mac, you can copy the following types of digital photos from your computer to your online Wal-Mart Digital Photo Center account:

Any digital photo you upload must have an ending that matches one of the above file types (e.g., niagarafalls.jpg). Whichever type of file you use, the copy that you upload will be converted to JPEG format before it's added to your account.

HT201317 ipad freezing when saving edited photos

After I edit photos in Photo Stream I try to save them to my Camera Roll and my ipad freezes up. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I don't think you can save a photo from Photo stream to Camera roll. So add a new album, then try adding the Photo Stream photo to the new album and it should also appear in Camera Roll.

Edit Photos in PS from Lightroom

Hello all,
I import photos into LR that reside on DVD using the reference files in there current location option. I then begin the edit process referencing the files on the DVD. It appears that LR will not allow you to use the edit photos in photoshop option when the files reside on a CD/DVD. Is that correct? Is there a work around to allow photos that reside on CD/DVD to be editted in PS using the option within LR? Thx ...

eosBenR,
When you select the menu item "Edit image in Photoshop..", you should be given choices in a dialog box, one of which is to edit a copy of the file. Choose this and you'll be able to edit. You will then have to save this edited file - eventually to CD/DVD if you prefer.
