Saving original in Edit vs. Organizer

When I make edits in Edit mode (such as black and white), then choose "Save as" to save the black and white image, the original image is no longer available in Edit mode. I then have to go back to the File menu to re-open the original if I want to make different edits (such as changing hue/saturation in the color version).
Is there a way to keep the original image in the Edit menu without having to re-open the original for addional/different edits?

If you don't close the image after saving, you can get back
to the original open state using the history panel. (window>history)
The history panel may say open or click a history state before you did any changes.
(this is from an old version of photoshop, but the above should still apply)

How do I import an old iphoto library from an external hard disk while keeping my editing and organization in tact?

I am running iPhoto '08 on a MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel C2D (MacBook Pro 3,1). I backed up my hard drive contents onto an external hard drive, then formatted my computer and installed Mountain Lion. I then re-installed iPhoto '08 and ran all the updates. Now, I would like to import my old library from the external disk onto my computer without losing my editing and organization; however, when I select "import to library" from iPhoto, the old iPhoto library is not a selectable option.
I know how to "show package contents" and import directly from the Original and Modified folders, but I don't want to lose my organization. Can I simply drag the content of those folders into my new Original and Modified folders? Will iPhoto read that correctly?
I tried to open the old library from the external disk, thinking to export them all to a folder and import from there, but that just opened my new library and none of the old photos were imported or available.
I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate any help you guys can give. Thanks!!

You don't import it.
Just drag the iphoto Library from the external to the Pictures Folder.
Then open it:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.

Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.

Hi,
I am getting a pop-up message(Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.Make edits in checked-out enterprise global template to make them
available for all users of this project server) when trying to insert a new column in the Gannt Chart View.
Due to this what all are the columns that inserted in the project plan, will be lost when open the project in the next time.
I have opened the Enterprise Global Template and cross checked for Gaant Chart view it is showing the table as "Entry" only.
The requirement is what all columns are required for the project plan, manager will insert in the project first time. Next time on-wards it needs to be display the columns when opened the project from server by default.
We are unable to reproduce this issue in our Dev Envt.
Could anyone of you please help me.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I suggest to remove Gantt Chart view and Entry table from Eglobal. These are default views from client and it is highly recommended to not use them in Enterprise Global.
Whatever a user ist doing on a view or table which is included in Enterprise Global will be reset on next open - therefore you receive this message.
If you need some server wide defined views and tables, create them. But remove Gantt Chart and Entry.
Does that help?

IPhoto import: does Aperture import Original and Edited, or just Edited?

If you edit an image in iPhoto, iPhoto creates a copy of the image and stores the original in its own folder. Further edits are on the copy.
When Aperture imports from iPhoto, does it import the Original, the Edited image, or both?
My hunch is it imports the Edited image, and the Original will be lost. Love to know for sure!

When you import you'll get a stack for any image that
you have edited in iPhoto. Your edited photo will be
on top with the master behind it.
This is excellent news. With all the bad news about Aperture I'd feared the worst.

Combining original and edited versions of photos?

Is there some way to "combine" photos in iPhoto such that edits I've made outside of iPhoto register as modified versions of the original images? (I only started using iPhoto last year, but I have original and edited versions of photos from before then. The same happens if I take a photo on my iPhone and edit it via an app before importing it to iPhoto.)
Thanks!

Well, I have gotten one thing to work: "edit" the original photo, save it without changes, open that file (under the Modified/ folder in my iPhoto Library), copy the modified file into that location, delete the "modified" photo and rename the actual modified file to that name, and then iPhoto sees it.
Lot of work though…
*And VERY dangerous*
NEVER make any changes to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder - doing so carries a very high risk of corrupting your library and causing loss of data and possibly photos
The only safe way is to export the edited photo(s) and then import back to iPhoto and delete the old unedited photos using iPhoto - trying to do it with the finder as you are may work if you never make a mistake but it is VERY dangerous and should not be done

How do i remove duplicates pictures, original vs edited?

How do I remove duplicate pictures, ie original vs edited?

If space is an issue you can run a Library from an external drive.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How can I unprotect my original movie edited in imovie?

How can I unprotect my original movie edited in imovie? I want to post it on Teacher Tube and it will not upload protected movies.

in german input, the key "Y" and "Z" are opposite comparing with normal english keyboard. and in chinese input method, the "y" and "z" are mapped just as normal english keyboard.
what happens now is, in ITABC input method, "y" and "z" are mapped as normal english keyboard, which is not like that before when i was using tiger.
Thanks for the info! You should definitely ask about this on the Chinese-Mac list. Keyboard mapping with the Apple Chinese IM's has long been a problem, and is one reason many people are moving to QIM:

I suspect something has changed in the Chinese IM with Leopard to mess this up for you, and it may not be fixable.

Prompt Disappeared for RAWs Edit Original or Edit a Copy?

I'm running on LR 5.3, but this problem persisted in LR 5.2. Working in PS CS6 and Camera Raw 8.3. RAWs are NEFs from a Nikon D600.
I can't figure out what happened but suddenly I am not getting prompts when moving from LR to PS to "Edit Original" or "Edit a Copy".
I reset all dialog warnings and nothing. The prompt will appear for TIFFs but not for NEFs.
Bug? Fixable? Help. It's kind of pointless to not be able to choose to edit an original or copy with LR adjustments for a RAW when they are the file types that retain my RAW editing information.
Plus, when I do click on a NEF and choose to edit in PS without the prompt (it will appear with lightroom adjustments, not as original), it will open a second icon for photoshop on my dock, and prompt me to continue trial?? I have a version of PS installed with the serial plugged in, and in LR "edit in PS" for a TIFF will open this primary version.

Thanks gvb, saves me from having to go find that thread myself!!

Original Photo Saved After an Edit?

I want to edit some of my pictures, but want to be able to return to the original picture later.
Does iphoto '08 save an original copy somewhere and if so, where? I am concerned that the"original" photo is lost after an edit change.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iPhoto preserves your original file at all times. All operations - edits, exports, whatever - are carried out on an copy of the original. You can revert to the original at any time by using the Photos -> Revert to Original command.

Adobe Acrobat 9 (in Windows 7) - Saving removes fields & edit capability

I have been using this program for about two weeks, working on a very long form to create fields and formatting them without any problem. I have been saving the form and editing the fields without problem. I scanned the form initially to get most of the blank fields.
Yesterday I opened the form and began having difficulty. The fields all disappeared. I was no longer able to use the "add or edit fields" feature. It is now grayed out. Eventually I decided that perhaps the form had become corrupted (I had begun to fill it out and discovered fields missing, so was now going back and forth with some fields completed) from going back and forth. It should work with some fields filled out from everything I have read, but just in case I scanned it again and made a new one. The fields were all there, and I began again. But as soon as I saved, the same error.
the interactive fields were no longer visible and the "add or edit fields" feature was grayed out. It says I do not have security. I have not changed or altered security. I am baffled as to what changed, or what I need to do to get it to work again. This is NOT a reader issue. This is Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, and it was working fine two days ago so it has to be a misfire in a setting that I just do not understand.
It says I am viewing a PDF/A (no idea what that means): Status: not yet verified.
Oddly enough it is inconsistent. Once I was able to save a single page that left the fields in, but could not replicate it in multiple pages. Then I could not replicate the single page phenomena. I am at my wits end.
Thank you.

Can you tell me how to set the defaults to Courier 10pt font? I tried select all and it's grayed out, but that was after the
fact. Where are the original default presets?
Thank you in advance.

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.
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..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: 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.
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 original and modified versions

Hey all,
Can someone tell me how to stop iphoto from saving both an original and modified version of my photos? It's very confusing when I try to access the photos to upload onto flickr, or to burn dvds etc.
I can't believe how much time I've wasted on this program--and now have had to start all over from scratch.
LH

Hello.
You do have a choice. Use a file browser. There are many available. They let you simply store the photos on your hard drive, in your folders, how you want them. Easy.
Why does iPhoto behave as it does? Because it offers much more complex features than any file browser. iPhoto is not a file browser. It is a database application with non-destructive editing. You import a photo. iPhoto creates a thumbnail version, linked to your original, for efficient presentation of your library on screen. You edit, and it creates a full-sized copy, which you then modify. It keeps track of the edited version, linked to your original. Your thumbnail is also located and updated to match the edited version. If you ever wish to go back, you can always Revert to Original. The edited version will be deleted, and your thumbnail will again reflect the change. All before you can blink your eyes.
So, yes, the way to get your files for uploading or burning to DVD is to select from iPhoto, then export. Because iPhoto will be sure to export the full-sized, most recent version of your photos. You never need to root around its library folders to find them yourself. Exporting gives you the additional ability to rename the copies. And, even better, to resize the copies, since smaller files work better for viewing on most websites. After you finish with the upload you can trash the exported copies.
Then consider the Albums and Folders in your Source Pane. With a file browser, you'd have to duplicate your files to display them in more than one album (because album = folder). With iPhoto's database, albums never create duplication; they are virtual arrangements which have no presence in your folder structure. The benefit - you can have a photo in 100 albums, with very little increase to the size of your library.
Play with other search features, and iPhoto becomes very powerful indeed. Smart Albums can be created to compile photos based on many criteria, and they stay current with your library. With the calendar tool you can pull up photos from any year, month, and/or date with just a few clicks. Keywords can be used to include or eliminate (Option-click a keyword) groups of photos until you have just the grouping you want. [Ex: I can find all photos of my daughter, with my in laws, at a festival, NOT at Christmas, with animals....]
It is a shift in thinking to leave the iPhoto Library alone and let iPhoto deal with the file management. As long as it works, why does it matter how it's done? You have all of its tools at your disposal.

Problem saving revised photos without saving original

I have just begun using elements 11. I have started editing photos using the Photo Fix Options in Instant Fix. I have then switched to Photo Editor to fine tune my edited picture. When I use save or save as, to save the edited picture both the edited and original appear in the files. If I start in in Photo Editor and save there is an option to uncheck that reads "Save in version set with Original" However I am more comfortable with beginning in Instant Fix and then switching to photo editor. For some reason when I go to save after switching from Instant fix to Photo editor the uncheck feature is no longer available. Can some please provide me with step by step instructions to save revised photo afterusing Instant Fix first then Photo Editor.

Most of the quick fix edits are automatic so you are already starting with a file that's been saved in a version set before moving into Expert Mode.
You can use File >>Save As and then save under a different name.
