Using Photoshop CS3 to open photos stored in iPhoto08

I am having problems accessing photos through PhotoshopCS3 that I have stored in iPhoto. The problem started when I loaded iPhoto08 on my mac. I did not have this problem when I was using previous version of iPhoto.
If anyone could assist with an idiots guide approach it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

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 changes you make using PS will be reflected in iPhoto.

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

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

This may be of help to you:
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..
NOTE: 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:
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.

Hello! I use Photoshop CS3 and Yosemite. Recently, after logging info information into the FILE INFO panel, I am unable to close out the window. I am able to save & close out the image, but then I have to completely close Photoshop and re-open the program to work on a new image. Frustrating! Any help to remedy this problem? Many thanks!

Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Press and hold Cmd+Opt+Shift and start Photoshop. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

Satellite P200: How do i calibrate monitor to get same colors using Photoshop CS3

How do i calibrate monitor to get print that looks like pic on screen?
I am using Photoshop CS3.
When I get a pic the way I want it on the screen and try to print it, it prints much darker. I could calibrate my iMac monitor for photoshop but can't find a way of doing it with my Satellite P200.
My printer is a Canon ip4300 and I'm using Canon ink and paper.

I think you need additional software and hardware to calibrate yout monitor.

Add IPTC Keywords using Photoshop CS3 and Applescript

Hello I'm looking for the applescript command to set IPTC keywords using Photoshop CS3.
thanks for your help

The Man Page gives me this info on the read/write/create capabilities:
EXIFTOOL(1)           User Contributed Perl Documentation          EXIFTOOL(1)
NAME
       exiftool - Read and write meta information in files
SYNOPSIS
       exiftool [OPTIONS] [-TAG...] [--TAG...] FILE...
       exiftool [OPTIONS] -TAG[+-<]=[VALUE]... FILE...
       exiftool [OPTIONS] -tagsFromFile SRCFILE [-SRCTAG[>DSTTAG]...] FILE...
       exiftool [ -ver | -list[w|f|wf|g[NUM]|d|x] ]
       For specific examples, see the EXAMPLES sections below.
DESCRIPTION
       A command-line interface to Image::ExifTool, used for reading and writ-
       ing meta information in image, audio and video files. FILE is a source
       file name, directory name, or "-" for the standard input. Information
       is read from the source file and output in readable form to the console
       (or written to an output text file with the -w option).
       To write or copy information, new values are specified with the
       -TAG=[VALUE] syntax or the -tagsFromFile or -geotag options. This
       causes FILE to be rewritten, and by default the original file is pre-
       served with "_original" appended to the file name. (Be sure to verify
       that the new file is OK before erasing the original.) Once in write
       mode, exiftool will ignore any read-specific options.
       Below is a list of file types and meta information formats currently
       supported by ExifTool (r = read, w = write, c = create):
                       File Types                 |    Meta Information

Photoshop CS3 doesnt open more than 1 photo

I have win XP + Adobe CS 3 Standard installed on my pc: when i open more than one photo at the same time with Photoshop CS3, the application immediately close.
I have two pc with the same configuration and i have the same problem. Consider that i have Adobe CS2 installed + upgrade to Adobe CS 3. If i use Photoshop CS 2 i dont have trouble. Thanks

Thanks Freeagent
Unfortunately this did not work
I have subsequently reinstalled (ie repair) - no help
What seems to be happening is that I open 1 photo from Bridge - work on it - close it or go to print - then close then cannot open another photo
Didn't happen with CS2
Any further ideas? Thanks

Even though its old I still use PS3 and I went to open it and this window pops up with a white box and no text that I was unable to close (only the yellow dot option to minimize) It says on the top "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended" and in the photoshop dropdown menu almost everything is greyed out and the program never opens. I really need to edit some photos please help.

This might be the solution:

Photoshop CS3 not opening after Cloud trial

I have a licensed version of Photoshop CS3. I did a trial of Adobe Cloud InDesign, uninstalled that (not easy), and now my PS will not launch. I have unistalled PS CS3, reinstalled it (numerous times), and when I click on it in Applications it just bounces in my Mac dock and then essentially just freezes. I'm really peeved.

There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

Can't unlock background layer using Photoshop CS3 Extended

I installed CS3 a few days ago (though I'm an experienced CS2 and Photoshop 6 user) and opened Photoshop CS3 Extended today for the first time.
The problem I'm having is with unlocking the background layer. I read in the documentation and on the Net about double-clicking and renaming the layer (which is what I did in other versions), or creating a new file with a transparent background, but those things aren't working for me in this version.
I opened a tiff file (a logo I want to use as the basis for a new image) but I can't unlock the background layer so I can copy, manipulate or add to it. Everything on the Layers drop-down menu is grayed out, as are the word Lock: and the symbols following it in the Layers window.
I tried creating a new image but when File|New dialog box opens the option to use transparent in the Background Contents dropdown is grayed out, too.
I'd appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Peggy

The issue has to do with the mode that you are in. If it is a TIFF or GIF file that you are opening, when you click on "Image -- Mode" you are likely to see "Indexed Color..." with a checkmark next to it. Be sure to select "RGB Color." Once you have done that, you can simply double-click the background layer in the layers palette to unlock the image.

Photoshop CS3 wont open any files?

I'm running photoshop cs3 and recently every time I try and open a file nothing happens, well what happens is I see the open file box pop up and disappear and then I can not do anything in PS, every time I click something I hear a noise and thats it, I have to restart Photoshop.
The only way to open a file is if I drag and drop a file in PS.
I'm running windows XP service pack 2 if that helps at all, and yes I have reinstalled and the problem still persists.

and if that doesn't work, try this:

Photoshop cs3 cannot open files

When I try to bring in a file and click on open in photoshop cs3 run on windows xp, the directory of files will flash for a second then disappear and photoshop freezes up. I have to then go to the task wizard to end it and when I try to end it it says the program is waiting on a response from me. Any idea how to fix this? I have had photoshop installed on this computer for and running fine for almost 2 years. It has been acting up for about a week. I tried doing updates, repairing, unistalling and reinstalling, running virus scans, cleaning up disk space and defragmenting. Nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated.

The first thing that needs clarification is: are you opening the PSD in Illy or are you placing it? Opening is not recommended. Placing is okay (if it's a layered PSD, someone else will need to address that).
The second you already know: CS3 (at least) does not do well in any 64-bit OS, Vista or otherwise.
The third is: what is the size of the file you're trying to open/place. I've been unable to place any file 200MB or more (forcing me to do in PS what I'd rather do in Illy) although that may have had something to do with physical dimensions of the file I was trying to place.
