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.

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!

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.

Saving to Aperture after using Photoshop as an External Editor

I'd be grateful for guidance please. I use Aperture but sometimes use the external editor (Photoshop in my case). When I have finished editing in Photoshop what is the best way to get the finished photograph back into Aperture? Do I have to do another import or is there a way to get the saved photo as another version next to the original but including the work I did in Photoshop. If it is possible I would expect this to be a flattened image (ie not preserving Photoshop layers). Thoughts and guidance would be much appreciated.

The following series of events occurs without fail in aperture 3 and CSPS4:
I place a single JPG image on desktop. Then, in aperture, I create a new project named TEST. I then import this single JPG into aperture, making the choice to store the master on the desktop, rather than in the aperture library.
The JPG image now is in aperture in the PROJECT "TEST". I then select this single image in aperture and send it to CSPS4 to edit.
I can see aperture write a new image to the project with the same name as the JPG but the suffix is now TIFF (note two "f" in this suffix). This happens as photoshop is opening and i can briefly see the TIFF file in the aperture browser before photoshop completes opening.
I then edit the "TIFF" image in photoshop (which is by now completely opened) and SAVE (not save as...) it. Since I have previously chosen 16bit TIFF in the preferences I expect to get this file with the photoshop edits in the aperture project TEST. HOWEVER, the file is written with the suffix "TIF". Note that there is only one "f" in this suffix.
Now, on my desktop I have THREE files, a JPG, a TIFF, and a TIF. Aperture shows only 2 images in the TEST project, the original JPG and the TIFF. This TIFF was written by aperture before i edited it in photoshop. Apparently my edits in photoshop are in the file IMAGE.TIF, which is not in my aperture TEST project.
This has to be a bug regarding the suffexes "TIFF" and "TIF" This would explain why my "edited" file in my aperture project TEST shows no evidence of having been edited.
This has been difficult to explain clearly but perhaps someone has noticed.

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 Photoshop as External Editor in Aperture

I'll be switching from PC to Mac soon. I use Photoshop to do all my editing. The database mgt tool for my PC does not have a Mac version, so I'm hoping Aperture 3 will fit my needs. I now make three versions of a photo - the original, a "working" version and the final version used for prints (I sell the prints). The PC file names are the same except for CAM or WORK or FINAL added to the end of the file name. Here is what I do. I find the original version (CAM) in the database and start PS and open the file from the DB program. I make my changes in PS and do a "save as" in PS with the WORK or FINAL in the new name. The new file will be added to the DB. So, now there are 2 DB entries - the original and the final along with 2 seperate files.
From what I read, Aperture doesn't like the "Save as" in PS. If I do a "Save" in PS, won't that just update the original file? How can I save the modified version as a new file (with all layers, etc.) and have it added to Aperture?
Looking for HELP!

When You use PS from Aperture, then Aperture makes a new version (a new file) that pass to PS.
When You save from PS don't change the name, the file will be updated with all the variations made in PS (if You want, also with layers).
This file is recognized in Aperture as a new file.
In fact You have two files on disc.
If You use directly PS without pass through AP, then You have two files, but the new file (made from PS) must be imported into AP.

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).

Hello bbryson68,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're wanting to move iMovie project and event data to another drive. I found the following information in the iMovie help that answers your question.
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.

Where does portal store the username after a successful log in?

We have an intranet application, we use the portal security and login screen, etc.
I have written a stored procedure which requires two parameters. One of them we already have at the time we need to call it. The other is username. All we need
to know is how to get the username at the time we must call it. Where does portal store the username after a successful log in for the particular session this user is logged into?
I tried using the following syntax,
When i log in using PORTAL30 then it returns,
SQL> select portal30.wwctx_api.get_user()
2 from dual;
PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER()
PORTAL30
But when i logged in using some other user i.e.rtemps it returns,
SQL> connect rtemps@mpdb
Enter password: *******
Connected.
SQL> select portal30.wwctx_api.get_user()
2 from dual;
PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER()
PUBLIC
Why does it return PUBLIC, instead of RTEMPS?
rtemps is a Database user though.
How do i test this script for portal users?
Also my application is a multiple user application.
So at a given time, there could be more than user logged in, also there could be more than one sessions of the same user logged in.
what happens in that scenario?
Thank you,
Kalpa

still not working..
The first page my user goes to log in, is
http://159.225.218.59/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.draw_custom_login_page
when i look at this stored procedure, it makes a call to the following procedure,
PORTAL30_SSO.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
and passes a parameter ssousername
From here my user is directed to the home page, which is built using the portlets, the URL for the same is,
http://159.225.218.59/servlet/page?_pageid=255,257&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
This is where i want to pass the ssousername, so as to keep track of what the user is doing.
Question 1: where does this page physically reside, or how do i add the parameter ssousername to this page?
I have 1 HTML PORTLET, on this page, and the code behind this looks like,

<%@ page language="PL/SQL" %>
<%@ plsql parameter="i_pagenum" default="1" %>
<body>
<table width = 760>
<tr>
Link 1
</tr>
</table>
In the above code, when they click on link 1, it calls a database stored procedure(rpt_param_prov), which is also a psp page.
In here, i want to pass the parameter ssousername.
e.g. the link should look like,
Link 1
Again this is a HTML portlet, so i don't think it will recognize the psp tags.. so that probably might be another issue.
But this is what i want to accomplish. So i can use the user who logged in, for my audit trail application, which will be inserting a record in a database table, everytime, the user runs reports that are being clicked.. like link 1 in above example.
I don't understand why this is so hard.
When i tried
portal30.WWCTX_API.get_user, it still brings back PUBLIC or PORTAL30_PUBLIC.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear. I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions. I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox. It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed. I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest. Getting very frustrated. They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments. I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

So is it actually installed, or is it not? If not, download and run the offline installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If it still does not work correctly, check
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

Wrong File Extension after using "Save AS" in PS7 and PSCS

After using 'Save As' the file extension is incorrect (such as filename.psd.jpg) or on opening an image file saved with Save As Photoshop returns the message "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop Document".
There's a setting in 'Tweak UI' under the heading 'Common Dialogs' that offers a choice of disabling 'Enable AutoComplete'.
If you disable 'Enable AutoComplete' then Photoshop 7 and 8 (CS) will no longer add the appropriate ending to a file when using 'save as'.
Unfortunately re-enabling this option does NOT appear to cure the problem, and a re-install of the O/S may be necessary.
