When editing on Photoshop Elements the edited photo returns to the beginning of my catalogue instead of above the original?

When editing a photo in Photoshop Elements 11 I save the edited picture and it returns to my album at the beginning instead of above the original

In the Save As window, do you have Save in Version Set with Original turned on?

Editing with photoshop elements my copy photo colors change

When I have a photo open in Aperture and I select "edit with Photo Shop Elements", Aperture makes a copy of my photo as it is opening up PSE9. The copy photo changes. I can look at the histogram and see they are different. Why isn't this copy EXACTLY the same?

The file format of the newly created file (it becomes a Master) is set in Aperture Prefs. Is it different than the file format of the existing Master? Is there any chance the change in file format accounts for the difference you are seeing?

It relates to Elements 10, but it's the same for 11.

I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements. Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.

Can I select multiple photos from iPhoto to edit in Photoshop Elements?

From iPhoto I am wanting to select all the photos from an event or album to edit in Photoshop Elements to avoid having to switch back and forth between the two. I have PSE set up as the external editor in iPhoto. When I have the photos selected in iPhoto and click the edit button, the most photos that will show in the PSE project bin is 4. I can go back to iPhoto and select more and they will be added to the existing photos in the project bin, but again I am trying to avoid having to go back and forth, and want to be able to edit one event/album in one sitting. I've tried highlighting each individual photo within an event, and also just the event, but still the max is 4 photos. It seems when I did this a couple months ago it worked fine, but since it is not doing it now I am questioning whether I imagined the whole thing! Is there a way to have more than 4 photos at a time? Thanks in advance for all help provided.

Hi, cyndy. Welcome to the discussions. No, 4 is the largest number you can send to PSE at one time. (This is an iphoto limitation, incidentally, not a PSE limitation.)

Lightroom freezes when attempting to edit in Photoshop Elements 13.1

Good day,
I've noticed that Lightroom 5.7.1 hangs when attempting to edit in Photoshop Elements 13.1. It will sit there saying processing and make no progress no matter how much time its given. I've noticed that I can get it to work if I change the file format from TIFF to JPEG. Is this a known issue with a fix/work around?
The next thing that I've come across, is that when editing in Photoshop Elements 13.1 through Lightroom, the changes made are not saved to the file (yes I'm clicking save). To get the changes made in Elements to save, I have to go back to Lightroom open the copy that was made for the export into Elements and select "Edit in Elements". If I make all the edits again and save, it will then update the file in Lightroom. It doesn't appear initially that Lightroom lets Elements change the file.
And ideas?
Carl

It has always allowed me in the past to send an image i am working on in LR to PS (I would choose to edit the original) the when saved down in PS it would then update the version in LR with the LR effects added as well. Suddenly it no longer gives me the option to 'edit the original '. I have always worked in RAW

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9. I make changes, they
look OK so I save it. When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made. However when I go
back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
This means it can't find the original. They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening? Why does it look like the changes
are make and then I can't find them?

I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

>> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

Editing In Photoshop Elements 4

Hi,
I am using Photoshop Elements to edit my photos from iPhoto 6. If I edit a photo, go back to view it in iPhoto - can I still do a revert to original in iPhoto to bring back my unedited photo? I seem to remember doing this previously, however when I try to do it now, the saved file from photoshop is my original. Hope all this makes sense and somebody can answer my question.
Cheers
Fraser

It doesn't appear that you can - iPhoto gets fooled because when I did it the thumbnail looks like the original and there is not option to revert back.
Here is what I did - I opened both applications.
Then dragged the picture from the album in iPhoto to PS Elements 4.0
It opened up - I cropped it to make the change obvious.
I saved it.
I went to iPhoto and clicked on the thumbnail - it opened up my edited version but the thumbnail was the same and there was no option to revert. I suggest duplicating and then editing if you are concerned. Or exporting, editing and then importing back into iPhoto. You can also browse the iPhoto folders with Bridge.

Editing with Photoshop Elements on a different computer

I spend my time in two different countries. Last time I went to the US, I installed my copy of Photoshop Elements on my laptop, as I prefer to use that program for editing. Unfortunately, I left the disc in the US. Now that I am back in Finland, I want to use Photoshop Elements to edit some photos on my iMac that are stored in iPhoto 6. I tried to move the program to my iMac, but it doesn't work. I also can't use the 30-day trial, as I used it before purchasing the program. I don't want to buy another copy, as I only ever use it on one computer at a time.
Is there a way to edit my photos on my PowerBook, and then import them back into iPhoto 6 on my iMac without having duplicates of the photos on the iMac? I am somewhat confused about the best way to do this. I know I can easily transfer the photos to my PowerBook, but I am unclear on what to do once I have edited them.
I know there is some kind of option in iPhoto to edit in a separate program. Can that be configured to edit photos in a separate program on a different computer on a network?

Kristen:
You idea may be right. Connect your two computers, the one with PSE in Target mode, and then in iPhoto select PSE as the editor of choice and when asked to locate it, navigate to the other computer and select it. It's worth a try.

Edit in Photoshop Elements 10 question:

Ok, I'm using LR3 and Elements 10. I need to make sure I'm doing this right. Im in LR, and I want to send a DNG file over to Elements. I click Edit with Photoshop Elements, it sends the file over to Elements. I do my edits in Elements, then click Save. It does come back into LR, but its still the PSD and I want it to be in DNG? Whats the best way to do this?
Is the only way it comes back is either a jpeg or psd? Or should I send files over in TIFF instead of PSD? And which color space should I be in?
Thanks folks.

Mike,
DNGs actually make the most sense for Raw type images. For rendered images, they're just another container around your rendered image (TIFF, JPG, ...).
In order to pass an image from LR to PSE, LR will always create a rendered derivate file of the Raw/DNG photo (either TIFF or PSD), and pass the rendered image file it to PSE. Upon return from PSE, the rendered image is updated in LR, but stays in the same file format.
Of course you can convert the TIFF/PSD to DNG after return using LR's conversion (Library -> Convert Photo to DNG), but I cannot really see a benefit in doing that.
There is no option of passing a JPEG to PSE using "Edit in" and receiving the updated version automatically in LR. If you want to work with JPEGs (which I don't recommend because of compression issues), you'd have to save the image as JPEG in PSE and re-import it into LR manually.
TIFF vs. PSD
These days (with TIFF supporting layers), there is no advantage of using PSD over TIFF anymore, and TIFF is a more common format than PSD. So I believe most people are using TIFFs to be passed to external applications.
Color Space
You want to pass as big a color space to external editors as possible. This would be ProPhotoRGB for LR.
BUT, as quite a few functions are not available in PSE when using a 16-Bit image (i.e. cloning), I only pass 8-Bit TIFFs to PSE. Using ProPhotoRGB in a 8-Bit image - as far as I understand it - can have some disadvantages for image quality. For this reason I'm passing 8-Bit TIFFs in AdobeRGB (which is smaller than ProPhotoRGB, but bigger than sRGB) to PSE.

Editing in Photoshop Elements 9 (tiff and tif)

Last week at the end I moved to Aperture. Now I've some problem when I edit with Photoshop Elements 9.
I've setted Aperture to transfer a 8 bit tiff to photoshop now Aperture tranfer a .tiff file to photoshop and when i save (not save as) photoshop save back a .tif file that obvisioly Aperture don't see..
There is a way in Aperture to set to export a .tif or in photoshop to save a .tiff; I know it is just a matter to remember to add an "f" before saving but it is so easy to forgot....

Only your camera can save as NEF. It's not even a file, really, a Raw is just the dump of the data from your camera sensor.
When you process (or edit) a Raw it has to be saved as something else - in this case a Jpeg.
You can choose tiff in the Preferences if you prefer.
But there is no way to edit a raw file and then send it, as a raw, to another editor on any system.
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
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.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

Can't edit in Photoshop Elements

When I try to move a photo into Photoshop Elements for editing, all I ever get is the message "Preparing file for editing" but no progress at all. Neither JPG nor Raw files work. I've fooled with Edit, Preferences to no avail. This worked fine in LR 1.3. Any ideas?
I have a Pentium 4 with 1 G of RAM, Lightroom 2 and Photoshop Elements 6.
Thank you.
Bill

Edit > Preferences > External Editing
Go down to "Additional External Editor"
Click Choose and navigate to the Elements folders and click on the icon to start Elements.
Choose the other options, File Format, Color Space, etc.
Click the down arrow in the Preset Box and give your preset a name.
Then whenever you want to go to Elements, Photo > Edit In and choose your preset.

"Edit in Photoshop Elements" an Option in Development Module?

In viewing the tutorials for Lightroom (while considering whether to purchase it), I noted that there was integration with PS CS2 (and soon, CS3) and that it works like this: In the "Develop" module select "Photo," then "Edit in Photoshop CS2;" the key here is that once editing in CS2 is complete the saved edits are automatically incorporated back into the Lightroom Library. Because I don't have, and may never need, CS2 (or CS3) along with Lightroom (if I get it) I'd hope that the exact same integration is possible with Photoshop Elements 5. So my question is simple: If PSE 5 is installed along with Lightroom will "Develop" and "Photo" include an option for "Edit in Photoshop Elements 5" and have the same automatic integration with the Lightroom Library? (Or, if PSE 5 is not a listed option but is accessible through the "edit with other" option, will the saved file still be integrated automatically into the Lightroom Library?)
Thanks. (And I did search the forum for this answer; sorry if it was there and I missed it.)

I had a demo copy of elements on my system when I installed the beta version of LR. Along side that I had my old and trusty PS 7.LR found PS7
and I set up Elements as a second option for editing. I bought LR and installed it over the beta version.From then on I was given the option to import from Elements in the file menu.PS7 was greyed outwhen I checked to see if I could still edit under PS7.
The demo of Elements expired so I uninstalled it.LR still offers me the option to import from Elements. I have tried the registry hack and all looks well but it is still grayed out in LR and it still "sees" a program which is no longer on my system. I have had a good look around the system including the registry for remnants of Elements that might still be around but cant see any.
Anyway it seems to me that LR can find Elements if it wants to even if it isnt't there and as I have said elsewhere on this forum, why do we have to hack the registry to get some parts this program to work? Adobe need to sort this and all the other bugs out. They owe it to all of us who have paid good money to them for what seems to be a poorly finished product.

How to go from Photoshop Album Starter Edition to Photoshop Elements?

I have both Photoshop Album Starter Edition and Photoshop Elements on my computer. I didn't even know I had the PSA SE--I just assumed it was part of Photoshop Elements when it automatically opened after I stuck my photo disk in. So I started playing around with it and cataloged my new photos. Then I started Photoshop Elements, and none of the cataloging or tags that I had just entered in PSA SE were there. Is there any way to transfer the information from PSA SE to Photoshop Elements without having to retype everything?

You need to locate the PSA SE catalog file. It is called My Catalog.PSA and is Docs&Settings somewhere [in a hidden folder]. Once you have located it, in PSE organizer do File/Catalog/Open and navigate to the file you just located. It will be converted and everything should work OK.

When editing on Photoshop Elements the edited photo returns to the beginning of my catalogue instead of above the original?
