Using PS4 as external editor

Hey guys,
My question is concerning the presets in preferences for an external editor.
I use PS4 and am wondering what is the deference between the tiff and psd selections.
I have played around with both and notice the file size changes when I bring a picture back into aperture. There is also a huge deference between 8bit and 16bit. Also what dpi setting is a good all around setting. I am interested in hearing some different views on how you set this up and why.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Blessings!
John

Which version of Windows are you using Walterono?
Also, have you tried resetting Lightroom's preferences and trying again?
Do you get the same behavior?

  • Problem using Aperture as external editor for Photoshop CS5...

    I am having trouble using Aperture as my external editor for Photoshop - if, for example, I select twenty photos and choose "edit in photoshop CS5," for some reason or another, only ten or twelve photos will show up. Some photos are always missing, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Has anyone else noticed this? It is really frustrating and slowing my workflow down immensely. Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Casey.
    First lets make sure we have the flow going the correct way.  You are using Aperture, and use PSCS5 as your external editor (external to Aperture).  Right?
    Second, what size are your Masters?  When you use PS directly (not calling it from Aperture) do you regularly open twenty files at a time?
    My Masters are about 25 MPix each.  PS sizes them in the 140 MB range.  Opening twenty of them at once -- for me that's about 3 GB of data -- will probably bog things down.  Does the problem occur if you open just, say, five at a time?  What's your hardware?  How do you have PS set-up?
    And -- my top suggestion for improving your work rate: do in Aperture as much of the work as you can, and send out to PS as little as possible.  You don't say what kind of work you are doing, but Aperture, for many, suffices for almost all of there photograph processing needs.

  • Saving PS CS3 files when used as an external editor

    When I open an image through aperature with PS as the external editor it makes a copy of my image and saves it in my library when Im done in PS which is great, but when I take that same PS edited file, open it back up in PS and attempt to save another PS version of it in the aperature library with the "Save as" command it does not show up in my library anywhere. If I go to the aperature library folder I can find my additional saved PS images in the correct library folder, but they do not show up in aperature.
    Does anyone know a way to be able to save additional PS files in the aperature library?
    Thanks!!

    Thanks for the help. Only problem still is that if I do it that way and import the edited saved Tif or PSD file back into aperature my PS layers and settings are erased when I try to reopen that PS file with the external editor through aperature. Unlike the original image duplicated in aperature when using PS as the external editor which I can continue to open and reopen from within aperature and be able to access all my saved PS layers, mask, adjustments, etc.
    Sorry if this isnt making any sense

  • Does iPhoto on the iPad support the use of an external editor?

    I would like to use an external editor in iPhoto on my iPad, but can't seem to find anyway to do this.
    Is it supported?

    iPhoto for iOS is not quite like the desktop version. It does not have the ability to directly send photos to an external editor but the photos it shows are simply your camera-roll photos. Any photo editor app should have access to your camera roll and all your photos. When you save out an edited photo you'll simply get a new photo added to your camera-roll it will not repalce the original. As long as the editor app you are using saves out to the camera-roll iPhoto will be able to read those newly edited photos.

  • Color Profile Options using Photoshop as External Editor

    Dear Folks:
    When I open an image in Photoshop as external editor, I get these choices:
    - use the imbedded profile (instead of the working space)
    - convert documents colors to the working space
    - discard the embedded profile (don't color manage)
    I'm using Photoshop 7 and iPhoto 5. My Camera is a Canon Powershot S410. iPhoto seems to retain the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 working space from my camera.
    What choice do I want and why?
    Is there something odd about my camera?
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop File Save useing Photoshop as external editor

    When I open a file using Photoshop CS2 as the external editor within Aperture 1.1 I can't save the file and view it in Aperture. I get an error message in Photoshop: "Could not complete your request due to a program error". I have to do a "save as" and import the "saved as" file into Aperture. This is true whether I try to save as a PSD file or as a TIFF.
    Does anyone know how I can save files in Photoshop and view them as a version in Aperture?
    Tom

    These files were imported into the Aperture library from folders of pictures on my hard drive and then exported from Aperture to Photoshop for editing. When I try to save the edited files in Photoshop, (which is supposed to automatically put it back in Aperture) I get the photoshop error mentioned in my original question. Aperture may be able to read TIFF and PSD files, but that doesn't help if Photoshop is unable to save the exported Aperture version back into Aperture. It appears to me that this is a photoshop error message due to some sort of incompatibility with Aperture. That's my guess, but it still does not solve my problem.

  • Using PSE13 as external editor with iPhoto w/MAC OS

    Upgraded from PSE12 to 13 and now unable to use PSE13 as an external editor with iPhoto on a MAC OS V 10.9.  Have reinstalled and no change.  Preferences in 13 differ from help for older versions.

    Are you sure you are choosing the correct file? In recent versions adobe has hidden the actual editor away in the Support Files folder in the PSE folder. The file at the top level is just an alias for the welcome screen. You want this file:

  • I am using Photoshop as external editor but can't use all the filters

    Hi,
    I have just started using Aperture and have set-up photoshop CS2 as the external editor. I'm trying to add film grain to some of my images using the artistic filters. If I open one of my RAW (EOS 5D) images in Bridge once open in CS2 all the filters are available for use.
    If I select a RAW image in Aperture and use the open with external editor feature, once the image is launched in CS2, half the filters are unavailable. Why is this and how do I over come the problem? Is it because Apertur opens the file in a funny format?
    Many thanks in advance for your help

    a few filters will (or have already) changed in cs3, however most remain the same in terms of 8 vs 16 bit. filters who are based on the rgb channels will be "grayed out" in the filters menu if an image has 16bit colours (regardless of tiff or psd of course).

  • Using Photoshop as external editor

    On a 64 bit machine with the 64 bit version of LR installed, evoking Photoshop as external editor still incorrectly opens the 32 bit version of PS, not the 64 bit as used to happen with LR4. One can work around this if one remembers to open the 64 bit version of PS beforehand, but still, this is surely an easy bug to correct.

  • Using photos in external editor...

    1.) When you edit an iPhoto photo in an external editor does iPhoto open up the original jpeg file in the external editor or is a copy?
    2.) When saving a PSP file to iPhoto, is it saved as a PSP file that will retain access to the layers if I reopen it up in Photoshop or is it saved as a non-layerd jpeg?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Little Lee
    1.) When you edit an iPhoto photo in an external editor does iPhoto open up the original jpeg file in the external editor or is a copy?
    iPhoto always preserves the Original file, so it's a copy.
    2.) When saving a PSP file to iPhoto, is it saved as a PSP file that will retain access to the layers if I reopen it up in Photoshop or is it saved as a non-layerd jpeg
    Do you mean a .psd? If you import an psd to iPhoto it will be treated as a psd and preserve layers. Note though, that if your original was a jpeg and you're using Save As, this will be a new file, and that will have to be imported into iPhoto. (it's a new file as it's no longer a jpeg.)

  • Using Aperture as External Editor in iPhoto

    I have selected Aperture as the external editor in iPhoto (iPhoto preferences), because I am happy with the way iPhoto handles files, with no confusion, but I love "brushes" in Aperture.
    Once I have edited an iPhoto picture in Aperture, how do I save it back to iPhoto? The only way I have found at the moment is to export it to the desktop from the Aperture editor, and then import it back into iPhoto. Sort of clumsy, when I get it from iPhoto to Aperture editor with one click.

    Once I have edited an iPhoto picture in Aperture, how do I save it back to iPhoto?
    You can't.
    Like iPhoto, Aperture is a database, not a pixel editor like Photoshop.

  • Use PS4 as external harddrive??

    Hi. This may be a "noob" question, but I sure hope you guys can help me anyway... I seem to remeber I once was told that I can use the ps4 as an external harddive. I have 1TB so it could be cool to transfer my documents, pictures, videos and stuff like that from my macbook to my ps4!?  Please tell me if this is possible!!!  thanks! 

    Only if you take the drive out and put it in an external hard drive enclosure and format it. Then your PS4 wouldn't work.  No, you can't do what you said.

  • Using Aperture as external editor for iPhoto

    Hi all,
    I could be classed as a "keen amatuer" I suppose. I import all my photos into iPhoto, and use it to publish photos to the web for family / friends.
    I then import the "best" photos into Aperture so I can work my "magic".
    I've recently returned from a very sunny Italy and I want to use Aperture's shadows / highlight editing to enhance a few pictures, then band these up onto the web using I photo.
    I've set Aperture as my default editor in iPhoto, and when I double-click Aperture does open, but the photo I want to edit does not.
    Is it possible to use Aperture in this way? If not, what are the best options for moving photos in and out of both of these apps? Also, I've not used Aperture's web publishing facilities. Are these as good (read "easy") as iPhoto?
    I don't really want to make the move over to Aperture and completely remove iPhoto because the family know and like iPhoto to browse things.
    Cheers for the help.
    Stuart

    Once your Aperture photos are in iPhoto, they are shared just like any others in iPhoto.
    If you're willing to make the switch, then once you switch over to Aperture (moving over all or some of your photos), delete and re-add them to iPhoto. Then you should see any Aperture made photos. Be sure they're added and copied over so when you delete from iPhoto, you're not deleting your only copy.

  • Can anyone offer help using CS4 as external editor for iPhoto '08?

    I am very new to CS4 Extended, having upgraded from Elements 6 recently.  I use iPhoto '08 to do all my photo organization and really enjoy it, have a LOT of work invested in it and don't really want to switch to anything else if I can help it.  One aspect I like about it is that it tucks away my original in case I ever need to revert.  With Elements, I could set my iPhoto preferences to allow all my editing to be done externally using Elements 6, but it would only allow 4 photos to be sent over to Elements at a time.  Then I would have to go back to iPhoto and "get" more.  I thought that when I upgraded to CS4, I would at least be allowed four at a time to be sent from iPhoto to Photoshop for editing.  Whenever I do this, it sends 1 or 2, possibly 3, but never four.  There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.  I'm annoyed at having to constantly go back for one or two photos at a time to edit and wondered if anyone knew of a workaround for this problem.  The reason I have done it this way all along is that the two programs would work together and update my iPhoto pics and thumbnails automatically.  Since then, I have just opened the iPhoto files from within CS4, but the edit doesn't update the thumbnails, only the enlarged versions within iPhoto.  Neither Apple nor Adobe has been able to offer any solutions.  I am not looking to create multiple copies of my files.  I download straight from my camera to iPhoto.  I could always just download them to a folder, edit them in CS4 and then import them into iPhoto, but that would necessitate making a copy of the photos to keep the originals safe and I'm not sure I want to have to organize all my originals elsewhere on top of my iPhoto library.  I am very open to suggestions!
    Thanks!

    You should ask at the Apple forums. very few if any actually use iPhoto here. Most use Aperture, Lightroom, and/or Bridge.

  • Where does my saved file go after using photoshop as external editor

    Okay, I understand that when I have a 30MB picture file and edit with photoshop afterwards, I click on Save and back into aperture i'm left with a 175MB picture (bigger or smaller sometimes), but my question is this:
    Since i'm working with all referenced images that have been stored on my external hard drive, after i make the edits and the file size explodes, does aperture save that large file in the aperture library, or to my external drive?
    I keep my aperture library file on my computer, but the images on an external drive.
    Should I make a new library file and store that on an external drive also?
    The whole point of using referenced images is to save space on the main computer, but if it's saving a file that's 6 times larger onto my computer instead of the external drive, it kind of defeats the purpose right?
    Thank you all for your superior technical wizardry and support! I appreciate everything!

    You can test this for yourself, but I just tested with a new Project, importing to Aperture to remain at the currently location, editing a photo with Photoshop. The Tiff that Aperture first created for PS to edit was created in the original folder, and not in the Aperture Library. The edit, when Saved, was made to that new copy in the original folder location, and thus in the external location.
