Unable toupdate an album after editing photos externally (i.E.: photoshop)

I took a photo album and converted it to a book. After laying out my book, I want to edit the photo's externally with Photoshop (Removing date stamp on digital images, better effects and quality control).
How do I update my album/book with the changed/edited images?
PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.10)

To get iPhoto to recognize the edits when using a 3rd party editor like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you first must select it in iPhoto's General preference section's Edit photo: menu.
Next, double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing and hit the Save button, if you get the JPEG Options window at the next step just go ahead and click on OK.
However, if you get the navigation window indicating that PS wants to save it as a PS file you'll need to select jpeg from the menu and save or click on the desktop in the Navigation window and save it to the desktop and import it as a new photo.
Editing a photo in PS directly from the Finder will result in iPhoto not knowing that the file has been edited and it won't show up in the Modified folder nor will the thumbnail be updated.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • After editing photos in iPhoto

    There are some photos that I have edited and would like to have them remain permanently in their edited format. After editing photos I open iTunes to update (sync) my photos onto my iPhone and iPod, however the photos that I edited remain in the original condition on my iPhone and iPod. Is there any way to have the edited photos synced in the edited condition when syncing my photos to my iPhone & iPod?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Here's how to use PSE correctly with 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.
    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.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

  • How to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    how to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
    If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
    Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

  • Help!  I'm unable to close elements 9 after editing photos.  Now what?

    After editing a photo in elements 9 and saving I am unable to close the program......does anyone have any advice?  I have tried everything and end up just having to shut down my computer to get out of the program and then restart.

    Try quitting by using the keyboard shortcut
    Ctrl+Q on Windows or Cmd+Q on a Mac

  • Why are original photos now showing in events after editing in external editor?

    In iPhoto 9 before the more recent updates, when I edited photos in an external editor all I saw in the event was the revised photo. Now I see both the original and the revised copy. I know I can hide these but never had to do this before. In addition, if I use reveal in finder the file shows two copies in the original or master file, both appear to be the same though the additional one is designated 2. This could increase my photo file considerably. What is the purpose of this new procedure and can it be revised?
    Also, some of the context menu items removed and now one has to go to the menu or start learning the keyboard shortcuts. I am not sure that iPhoto has been improved.

    iPhoto has been doing this since iPhoto 11 (v9) was released, not since the recent update. Let Apple know how you feel if you're not happy.
    IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    No, there is no way to change any of these things back.

  • Creating album of edited photos only.

    How do I move just the final edited photo to an album but retain the original and edited versions in the catalogue. ? Every time I try,  all the copies move to the album and when I try to remove the unwanted copies from the album it removes all of the particular photo.

    Hi Brian and 99jon,
    Thanks for you replies.
    The albums I will be sending to friends contain between 100 - 120 photos. I was thinking that this is too much to email and was considering copying to CD/flash drive and sending them.  I am not into Facebook so cannot upload them to that.  I havent tried copying to disc yet but believe, maybe wrongly, that the entire album, including al lmy attempts at editing, will be copied.  I will try this later.
    99jon, I am using version sets as I thought this was the easiest way to keep the original and edited versions together. What your comment impies is that if I wasnt using version sets but just saved the edited copies with a new file name then I wouldnt have a problem copying the final edited version to the album.  I havent tried this either yet and again will try later but this sounds as though it could be quite time consuming in keeping the original and edited versions together in my catalogue.

  • After  editing photos on the iPhoto can i keep the original date of the picture,(when it was taken).thanks

    can i recover the original date of the picture whenit  was taken after editing with iphoto.

    You do not need to do anything - editing a photo in iPhoto does not modify the original date of the photo - that is a part of the photo informatiopn (in the EXIF data) - the only way to modify it with iPhoto is to use the modify date/Time command

  • I am unable to change location for editing photos.  I tried the advanced drop down menu in iPhoto and have 2 locations for editing-iphoto and aperture.  I want to add photoshop.  Can anyone help? Thanks.

    i cannot change editing location from aperture to photoshop in iphoto.  i followed directions to advanced tab in iphoto and have 2 choices for editing photos-iphoto and aperture.  any suggestions on how to change the sites?  thanks.

    Not sure why you would have Aperture there as it's not an editor.
    To change, just select Aperture again, and this will give you the dialogue to change the choice.

  • Aperture does not update a photo preview after editing in external editor

    I have noticed this problem after installing the last Aperture (3.2.3) update. It appears to be common to my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro. The updated preview is visible only in "viewer" mode (menu / view / viewer). It's interesting, that updated preview appears in "viewer" mode on both displays (I use two monitors). And when I switch into "split view" the preview switch also and is not updated.
    After relaunching Aperture previews are updated.
    The thumbnail looks to be good (updated). This problem makes my work really uncomfortable.

    This seems to be a bug, and has been discussed in several threads. See this workaround suggested by shuttersp33d: This helped me Re: saving from photoshop

  • IOS 8 Photos App losing metadata after editing photo

    Since the iOS 8 update, every time I edit a photo with new editing Tools or with the new 3rd party app editing fonction I lose the photos Metadata's like location, date & time or other exif informations. I realize that they are missing once I open those photos in different application. All metadata / exif information disappeared  only for the photos I edited in the Photos App, even if I have only rotated the picture.
    Does anybody has a solution for this problem?

    Try going into Settings/Photos & Camera and toggle My Photo Stream OFF and ON. From what I have read, this has successfully caused other peoples Photo Stream (in the combined "Recent" Album) to repopulate. See if that works for you.

  • After Editing, Photos Change

    This was happening in iPhoto 8 and still after installing iPhoto 11...same problem. After an edit, the photo changes, not back to original, but to something other than what I edited. The thumb will show the corrupted version, but when I go back in to re-edit, the photo changes back to my originally desired changes. After getting back out, the thumb will be appear corrupted again.
    After moving to desktop and opening with Preview or emailing to another computer, it shows the corrupted photo.
    This started after updating to Maverick. 

    NO!
    You NEVER inmport one iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
    This was a test - it shows that iPhoto is OK andy your library need to be fixed
    backup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and from the resulting first aid window rebuild your thumbnails and then repeat and rebuild yhour database

  • IPhoto 6.0.4 crashing after editing photo in Elements 3.0

    After I edit a photo in Elements 3.0 (double-click to edit, make changes, save as JPEG, max quality, close) and click back to iPhoto, iPhoto crashes suddenly (no error message). Thereafter, I cannot view the photo I edited in full screen mode, nor can I view the photo adjacent to it in the roll. The link to the full-size photo, as opposed to the thumbnail, appears to be corrupt. Opening iPhoto while holding down shift+option doesn't help.

    Steven:

    I'm assuming you've setup iPhoto to use Photoshop Elements when you double click on a thumbnail, right?
    Try downloading and running BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. See if that will help.
    If not create a new library, import a couple of photos and try editing with PSE as you do in the other library. If that one crashes then it's either an iPhoto problem or a system wide problem. If it doesn't crash, try rebuilding the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and following the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all the options.
