Smart Album by Badges or External Editor?

I'd like to setup a smart album that includes only images that have been edited by an external editor (specifically Dfine 2.0). However, when specifying the parameters for a smart album, I don't see a way to choose something like "badges exist" or "external editor exists," etc.
I hope I am missing it and that it can be done.

Nope,
but you can search by file name including extension - this may help if you are looking for TIF or PSD vs some sort of RAW file.

  • Why are many of my photos missing? External editor badge applied to all of the missing ones to...

    I switched over my iPhoto library to Aperture but realized about 20% of the entire library contains thumbs but no image. These missing photos have size (e.g. 1MB) but no resolution (it says 0 x 0 px). Also all of these photos have the dot inside the circle badge indicating that it was editired with an external editor which most or all were not... I rebuilt the library and tried reprocessing masters without success. Most of these are older digital photos that are small in size but have sentimental value to them. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Strange. The photos that don't display in Aperture will still display in iPhoto but when I view the info the file doesn't show resolution information only for those problematic photos
    Files sizes are almost all jpeg. Once I reference the file in iPhoto, the master displayed resolution for the photo within finder. The photo's original file also opened in preview and photoshop.

  • Smart Album "Managed" doesn't behave as expected

    Hello,
    I have a smart album in my library that I use to track managed files ("file status = managed"). My expectation is to click on this, it shows me the files under library management, I select them all and then Relocate Masters to a folder in the file system.
    This works well with one exception. Lets say I have a relocated image and I edit this in the external (PS) editor. When I come back to Aperture, I have 2 files in a single stack - the master which is relocated and the new version which is not.
    When I select my Smart Album, I would expect to see the new version that was just created. However, it doesn't appear. If I go back to the 2 images and split them out of the stack then go back to the smart album, the version IS shown.
    I clearly don't want to split all my stacks or micro-manage every new version I create. Is this standard behavior? Is there another way for me to achieve this?
    Thanks

    This might work. Click the magnifying glass to the right of your smart album name. This will bring up the dialog box to set the parameters of the smart album. At the bottom left corner, check the box for "Ignore Stack Groupings". This should allow the smart album to search through all of the stacked photos and not just the images on top of the stacks.

  • Can't set smart album pictures as desktop backgrounds.

    i have imported 'without copying to library' a whole bunch of pics into iphoto and have created smart albums. now i went to 'change desktop background' by control clicking on the desktop and am selecting a pictures from one of the smart albums but its only displaying a blue background. this is true for all smart albums and normals ones as well. when i select an image from the other folders they work fine. what could be the reason?
    the primary reason of importing stuff to iphoto was so that they are easily available across applications.

    simport
    Do you know of any reason why the Desktop pref pane should not be able to use photos in a "referenced" iphoto library
    It's just the nature of the beast.
    but I just don't trust it enough to do what it will with my photos by having them stored in the iPhoto library.
    What are you afraid of?
    When you import a pic into iPhoto in the default Managed mode all it does is make a byte by byte copy of the pic. Nothing else. It's an exact copy. It makes no alterations, adds nothing, removes nothing.
    The pic is stored in the Finder. Yes, it's in a Unix Style Package file, but apart from all the ways to access your pics I'll describe in a moment, if you want to look inside the package you can do so at any time: Simply right click on the iPhoto Library and select 'Show Package Contents' from the resulting menu. A Finder window will open and you'll see the Library inside.
    There are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three core folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner. (As your Library is referenced the files will be aliases rather than the actual files.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember: 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.
    Running a referenced library has a number of pitfalls - apart from the fact that System Preferences cannot use the files.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity 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.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    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. 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.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    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.
    Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.
    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.
    Other information that may offer comfort:
    Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
    You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
    Mind you, I don't suggest that you change over in one go. I think the best thing to do is create a new Library (Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library') and set it as a Managed Library. Import 50 or 100 pics an explore it, see how it works and see if that does anything for your confidence.

  • How to edit RAW in external editor (photoshop)

    Aperture duplicates the version and gives me a psd file open in photoshop. What I want is the Adobe Camera Raw editor, that's why I shot it in raw in the first place. Any workaround other than pulling the master out of aperture and doing it manually?
    Also, anyway to disable the annoying metadata hud that pops up on rollover of previews in aperture?

    Here is an idea I have been playing with for the new CS3 version of Photoshop.
    1. Locate the RAW files you want to process outside of Aperture's Library. You can do this by storing your masters as referenced images and using Aperture's 'Show in Finder' command.
    2. Open the RAW file directly with Photoshop CS3. Choose the 'Open as Smart Object' check box in the ACR settings dialog box. Save the resulting file and import that newly saved PSD back into to Aperture.
    3. From inside Aperture you can open this file using the 'Open with External Editor' command. Once you do this you will have two masters of the same images. Unstack the masters and delete the one that you imported--saving the one with the bulls-eye badge. That second one that you saved can be opened directly to Photoshop and re-adjusted using the ACR plug-in any time you want.
    This workflow gives you nearly all of the benefits of directly editing the RAW file using Aperture's controls. It would be a bit slow to do it with a 1000 images. I am thinking about ways to run this using Automator and Applescript.
    Is there a reason that Aperture's RAW processing doesn't work for you. I find that for supported cameras it is the equal of Photoshop's ACR and better in some regards.

  • Exporting Versions: avoid duplicate files when using external editor?

    I've got an Aperture Library containing TIFF masters. Some of the files have been edited via built-in Aperture tools; others have been edited using an external editor (PhotoShop). I want to do a batch export of all the Versions as scaled-down JPEG. If I select all the files in the library and export, everything works as expected, but there is one nuisance: every file that has been edited externally is exported twice.
    For example, consider a file named "MyFile-1.tiff", which exists in the library in the original version and the edited version, with the same filename. The export writes two files:
    MyFile-1.jpg (the original version)
    MyFile-1 (001).jpg (the Photoshopped version)
    I only want and need the edited version. So "MyFile-1.jpg" is extraneous and needs to be deleted, and "MyFile-1 (001).jpg" needs to be renamed.
    Is there any way to prevent this from happening without manually deselecting all of the individual version files I don't want to export? I don't see any setting or smart album feature that would say "when you find a file that has been edited externally, export only the externally edited version".
    It's not a big deal for me to use batch file renaming to clean up the exported files, but it is one more step in the workflow that I'd rather avoid.

    Do the original versions of the externally edit images have Aperture adjustments applied? And if so would you then want both of the images exported?
    If the answer to the first question is no or the answer to the second is yes then this should work:

  • Smart Albums and Search ignoring tags / keywords

    Why is it that once images are imported into PE7, and if their keywords and tags are edited in an external editor (eg. Picasa, Photoshop), PE7 doesn't seem to recognize these new keywords/tags in Search or Smart Albums?!
    The weird thing is, if I open/activate these newly edited files, I can see in thier properties that the new keywords/tags can be read by PE7, but these descriptions don't show up as matching results when we do a search box or smart albums.
    What is going on?
    On the other hand, Picasa will read, update and pick up any tags and keywords that have been entered in PS7, almost instantly. Why can't PE7 do this???

    It's a design limitation of PSE.  When you first import an image into PSE, it will read the metadata from the image's file (keyword tags, date/time, caption, notes, star rating) and store it in your catalog (the database where PSE stores all of its information about your images).  Once the image is imported into your catalog, PSE will never read that metadata again, so if you change it with an external tool, PSE won't see those changes.
    As you've observed, a number of other programs will track changes made to a file's metadata, including Windows Live Photo Gallery and Adobe Lightroom.

  • Making Details:Duplicate from Smart Album?  Duplicate and Crop in one step?

    I need to create details -- blown-up portions -- of several hundred photos. Many of the photos have three areas from which I would like to create details. I want to retain the originals as originals. I want the details to remain in whatever event the original is in. It would be helpful to have the details not inherit the keywords of the original. What is the best way to do this in iPhoto?
    Here are some of the problems I've encountered.
    - My originals are in Events. I have tagged the photos from which I want to create details with various keywords. I have Smart Albums set up for keywords. Is there any way to duplicate a photo from within a Smart Album ("Duplicate" is grayed out)?
    - - Is there any way to select a photo in a Smart Album and then go to Events or Photos view and have that photo selected?
    - Once I have the photo selected, I want to quickly select the area of the detail and create a duplicate and crop it to the selected area. Is there an easy way to do this?
    - - Pressing "c" in Edit mode brings up the crop mode (as long as Keywords aren't show and you don't have a keyword assigned to "c") _with an area of the photo already selected. Is there any way to either not have an area initially selected or to with one key press get rid of the "pre-selection"?
    - Sometimes I don't know until I look at the photo that I want details. Ideally I'd like to be able to, in Edit view, select an area of the photo with the mouse cursor, and with one key-press duplicate the photo and crop it to the area selected.
    I am willing to consider using an external editor.
    Thanks!

    - My originals are in Events. I have tagged the photos from which I want to create details with various keywords. I have Smart Albums set up for keywords. Is there any way to duplicate a photo from within a Smart Album ("Duplicate" is grayed out)?
    No. However, if you search the Library on the Keyword (using the Search Box) you'll be able to duplicate.
    - - Is there any way to select a photo in a Smart Album and then go to Events or Photos view and have that photo selected?
    No. Bu again, using the Search Box, with 'Event Titles' selected in the View Menu will do something similar.
    - Once I have the photo selected, I want to quickly select the area of the detail and create a duplicate and crop it to the selected area. Is there an easy way to do this?
    Define'Quick'. Here's the quickest way I can find: Crop the pic to the detail. Duplicate the cropped pic and the Revert to Original on the first one. Result: your original pic plus a cropped version. However: you will lose +all previous edits+ on the pic doing this.
    - - Pressing "c" in Edit mode brings up the crop mode (as long as Keywords aren't show and you don't have a keyword assigned to "c") _with an area of the photo already selected. Is there any way to either not have an area initially selected or to with one key press get rid of the "pre-selection"?
    No and no.
    - Sometimes I don't know until I look at the photo that I want details. Ideally I'd like to be able to, in Edit view, select an area of the photo with the mouse cursor, and with one key-press duplicate the photo and crop it to the area selected.
    Isn't that the same question as the 'Quick' one above?
    I am willing to consider using an external editor.
    What's nor clear from your questions is the actual detail required. Are these several hundred pics all the same dimensions, with the detail in the same location each time? If so, you could probably create a Photoshop action to automate the process for you. But if you don't have photoshop or have never created an Action then you might well be faster to do the job by hand.

  • Smart Albums not Refreshsing

    Hi,
    I've set up Smart Albums based on whether photos in a project have particular keywords i.e. the album shows only photos that do not contain either the keyword "Artwork 1" or the keyword "Artwork 2". When I choose an image and apply the keyword "Artwork 1" with one of the keyword buttons, the photo disappears from the Smart Album, exactly as expected
    However if I select several photos, and do the same thing, all the selected photos get the keyword (you can see this from the metadata badge which appears after applying the keyword, and also in the metadata inspector). However only the "primary" disappears. I put primary in quotes because I don't have primary only switched on, but the one with the slightly thicker border is the only way that disappears. The others stay in the Smart Album even though they no longer satisfy the criteria for selection in that album.
    The only way I've found to make Aperture refresh the contents of the album is to quit out, and then relaunch. When I come back in the other photos with the keyword in them disappear.
    Does anyone else have this issue where Smart Albums do not always refresh automatically? Is there a better way to force a refresh than quitting out?
    Thanks in advance
    David

    Hi Allan,
    I don't think so. There are 309 images in the project. I shot maybe 15 new ones last night which appeared instantly in the Smart Album because they didn't have "Artwork 1" or "Artwork 2" keywords applied. Then I selected 3 images, applied the keyword, so it only had to cope with 3 changes.
    I don't think of that as excessive numbers, especially since out of the 15 images, 14 disappeared instantly when the keyword was applied, but 1 didn't

  • New Album from Smart Album makes NEW VERSIONS of all files? Bug?

    Got what I think is an oddball bug here, but see if any of you have experienced it.
    Making a new album of the contents of a Smart Album with about 600 images resulted in the SBOD, a lot of time and disk activity and the creation of NEW VERSIONS of all the files populating the new album. This, of course, also doubled the number of files in the original Smart Album, since the keywords used are a match. First thinking it might be something I had not read in the manual, I grabbed the book and could not find this behavior listed…..so….my expected result is a new album with the identical contents of the Smart Album selected as the source.
    I am creating a presentation for a client whose work is in multiple projects in a ~150GB library. All images are heavily keyworded, so making Smart Albums of specific elements of the work was easy. My intended workflow to get through this mountain of pix was to make Smart Albums of specific elements, then make New Albums from each, manually edit and reorg these albums individually, then combine my edits into a single book file.
    Now the structure leading to this problem is as follows:
    1) I created a single “main” folder to store all projects and other elements and hierarchy for this client. Clicking on this folder returns some 8500 images spanning multiple projects…all as expected.
    2) At the top level of this “main” folder, I made about 20 Smart Albums to presort the main elements I wanted to include. I made the first Smart Album by clicking the icon in the top bar. The rest of the smart albums I made by duplicating the previous Smart Album, then changing keyword selection. I would select the new keywords I wanted, then de-select the ones that were from the album I had duplicated. The reason I did it that was for speed, there is little delay in displaying the items that were already searched for, and a significant delay in going from new. Anyway, somewhere in this process, I decided to organize my workflow further, so I created a new folder (calling it Smart Album Selects) at the same level as the Smart Albums, and then dragged the Smart Albums into the new Smart Album Selects folder. Still, no problem.
    3) Later in my session, I went to create another new Smart Album, and this time I did so already in the Smart Album Selects folder. When I opened the HUD to select the keywords, the Keyword area and check box were greyed out!!! Weird, I though….so I simply duplicated an existing Smart Album from my Smart Album Selects folder, opened the HUD, and sure enough, all my keywords were there. I changed the keyword selection, and went on with work. During the day I did this same operation 3 more times, making 4 Smart Albums created the same way.
    4) OK…here is the strange behavior. To make my new custom album from the Smart Album selects, I selected one of the Smart Albums, and clicked on the New Album icon. Got the expected dialog, make with 1 image or all images, selected all images, and instead of a new album popping up moments later, I got the SBOD, and the Activity Monitor said Aperture and my hard disk was cranking away. About 4-5 minutes later, Aperture became responsive again, and had created a new album. However, upon inspection, the album contained NEW VERSIONS of all the images that were in the Smart Album, about 600 files.
    5) I went back and clicked on a different Smart Album in the same spot in the hierarchy…but it was one of the first ones I had created (meaning I built this BEFORE reorganizing into the Smart Album Selects folder). Tried making a new album again, with 1 image, worked fine, popped up instantly. Tried selecting 4 images, same thing, worked fine. Selected All, made album, worked fine.
    6) Went back to the Smart Album I had the problem with, this time selected 4 images, make New Album, and sure enough the New Album had NEW VERSIONS of the pix again…OK, I went back to the top of my folder hierarchy, my “main” folder and made a brand new Smart Album by clicking the icon, and selecting keywords. Made a new album from that, no problem, popped up instantly, no new versions.
    7) I then re-made all my Smart Albums at the top of the folder hierarchy, and they all work fine creating new albums. I got back to the task at hand…hopefully there is enough data here to let the Aperture engineers find this problem…Assuming, that is it is not just me misunderstanding some element in the program.
    Sorry for the length, but has anyone else run into this??

    Nope, all the images at this point in my workflow have been unstacked, with the non-picked members of the original stacks discarded.
    Now that it seems I am not the only one who has witnessed this behavior, what I am really trying to find out, is what is the definitive proper operation of this according to the Aperture group at Apple.
    Assuming I have opened a Smart Album with images displayed, and no images are selected.
    Is the correct behavior:
    1) Selecting New Album makes a new Untitled Album (very quickly) with the identical contents of the Smart Album....OR...
    2) Selecting New Album makes a new Untitled Album (slowly) with NEW VERSIONS of the contents of the Smart Album. (Also, depending upon the number of images, typically brings up SBOD and makes Aperture unresponsive until it is complete.)
    Now what I expected to happen was #1, as it is what happens when I select New Album when a project is selected. Given Apple's human interface creedo for intuitive operation, I think this is the most intuitive choice, because I can't think of a good reason I would want to double the number of versions of all files in an album, unless I expressly told the app to do this.
    Could an Apple guy provide the definitive answer, please...
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Smart Album not so smart?

    Hi. A few months ago I upgraded from iPhoto to aperture. It's all rather confusing but I've been willing to overlook it because of the usefulness of aperture as an advanced photo editor.
    Now however all sorts of weird things are showing up. The Smart albums in particular are bizarre. Even the ones that come pre-made in Aperture. In particular the “in the last month” and "in the last week" etc. contain images from all over the map, as it were. Yes, there are images from in the last month, week or what have you—but there are also random images from all sorts of other time frames, projects, albums and folders.
    This is particularly annoying because it also seems to have messed up the way photos are synced with my iPhone which (much to my surprise) is one of my favorite things to do on the iPhone: display my photos. Albums on the iPhone contain images often repeated 75 times or other such bizarre problems.
    I assume something is corrupt somewhere but I don't know how to “reboot” my libraries without losing precious information.
    Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my smart albums and what is wrong with the syncing.
    Many thanks…

    As a new Aperture user myself, I had a similar issue. Maybe it's related to yours.
    Smart Albums have many options to choose from, and I was a bit confused at the beginning. While setting the Smart Album, you need to be sure you're marking the options you really want/need, and nothing else. For example, my "In the last month" Smart Album showed only one photo, and that wasn't correct.
    But the reason was simple: I had written some text in the Search/Filter field (upper right), and obviously that was filtering the not-so-smart results in my folder.
    Hope that helps.

  • Using (Parallels) PS as an external editor for Aperture

    I am new to the Mac so perhaps this has already been addressed. If so, I apologize.
    I am using Aperture for my photo editing and have been using PhotoShop CS5, through Parallels, as an external editor. Much to my surprise this works reasonably well most of the time although sometimes I run into a very puzzling situation.
    Typically I use CS5 to take care of lens distortion since Aperture does not have that functionality built-in. I adjust an image and, if it needs perspective adjustment, I call CS5, through Parallels, convert the object into a Smart Object, Transform the object using the Distort functionality, flatten the image and save it to return to Aperture. Most of the time this works just fine. However sometimes I end up with an image that Aperture tells me it cannot open and, when I try to open it with PS again, it also fails. Sometimes the newly adjusted image just never shows up in Aperture and it is as though it dispappered into the ether.
    I have tried Save and I have tried Save As using the same location specified by PS. Save normally works but sometimes fails as described above and Save As always seems to fail. Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
    One more note. When the attempt to adjust the photo in CS5 fails I have tried again and again and it always seems to fail for those images. I have no idea why this should be but repeated attempts fail. I have success about 60% of the time and the rest of the time either I get an image that cannot be opened or an image that just disappers. I am using CS5 under Parallels because Adobe will not give me a license for the Mac version unless I upgrade and I would rather not pay the $200 and I don't want to end up in CC.
    There are really two issues here. First, why is CS5 occasionally failing and, second, is there a good replacement for CS5 that will work with Aperture to do Perspective Adjustments. I have the trial of PTLens but CS5 is much more flexible in how it allows me to distort an image since not all my image distortions from UWA lenses are symetrical and PTLens only handles symetrical distortion.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Agreeing with 99jon, and adding that in my opinion, the only logical use of the two programs is to use the Lightroom Library Module (not the PSE Organizer) as the tool for organizing your photos, and the Lightroom Develop module as your primary editor, and the PHotoshop Elements Editor as the supplemental editor for the situation where you need more power editing than Lightroom provides.
    Why? Because Lightroom is designed  so that it can relatively seemlessly send photos to PSE for extra editing and receive the edited photo back from PSE.
    There is no relatively seemless way to have the PSE Organizer send photos to Lightroom and receive the edited photo in return. You will do a lot of extra work to make this work. I am also very skeptical about this statement, I don't think it opens your photos in the Lightroom Develop Module, but I admit I haven't tried it: "I figured out how to configure Elements to call Lightroom to edit a picture directly.  (Edit-> Preferences->Editing)  WIth that setting, I can now use lightroom on my photos."

  • Edit in External Editor (photoshop)?

    I want to do a quick edit of an image in my new version of photoshop and when I select the image in the Album or in the Published Album Aperture is not giving me an option to Photo > Edit in External Editor because this is greyed out for some reason.
    I have most of the manual printed out over here and found some threads on this in iPhoto forum but to be frank I am getting a little tired of some of the secret cubbies and locks I keep running across and I am afraid that if I just read the manual I will spend another two days trying to get this to work.
    I imagine this is very straightforward and would anyone mind giving me a heads up on how to do this? I just want to black out a section where my background shows the wall instead of the black curtain supposed to be used as background...
    TIA for any help.

    You can set Photoshop as your external editor in Aperture > Preferences > Export > Choose. It's on page 472 of the manual.
    If you have downloaded the pdf of the Aperture 3 User Manual, you can use it interactively in Preview. I think you will find that you can get answers for most things much faster by using Preview's search window for the Aperture manual than by asking in Communities.
    If you are printing out the manual from the web version rather than having the pdf you can download it here.

  • Just upgraded to PS CS5 from CS3 and LR will not recognize CS5 as external editor

    I just upgraded from PS CS3 to CS5 then uninstalled CS3.  LR 2.7 is not recognizing PS (CS5) as the default external editor and I don't get the "edit as smart object in PS", "Open as layers in Photoshop", etc… options  when I right-click an image and select "edit in" as they are now greyed out.  I've tried to repair LR and reinstall but nothing makes it recognize PS CS5 as the default external editor.  Any ideas?  Thx in advance.

    I ended up reinstalling CS5 and that solved the problem with one exception.  It is now the default external editor and I have the option to export to PS as a smart object - However, I do not have the options to export to PS in layers or export to PS as Photomerge or Export to PS as HDR.  I did have these options with CS3.

  • Using Smart Album????

    Not sure if Smart Album can do this but I was hoping iPhoto can handle this. I save all my photos and stock photos to one folder on a external hard drive. Can iPhoto remember the folder and automatically update when there is a new photo added to the folder or if I change an exsisting photo? Maybe iPhoto can already do this, not sure????

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You can search for that particular group of pictures, but as TD said you can't do it using a Smart Album.
    To find the photos in your example, go to Preferences > Keywords and set it to +Match ANY keywords when filtering.+ Open the keywords pane in the lower left corner of the window and click the Family, Parker, Hailey keywords. You will get all photos that contain any of those keywords (ie: an OR function). Then go to the View menu, select to Sort by Date. Scroll to your desired date, select your photos (click on the first, Shift-click on the last to select a range), and move them into a regular Album. Finding the date range is the most clumsy part. It may help to +Show Scrolling information+ (Preferences > Appearance). Or switch from the keywords pane to the info pane so that when you select a photo its date is displayed.
    Regards.
