Workflow with e.g. Photoshop

Maybe I didn´t get the point, but what about following scenario:
A designer makes a complex layout for a RIA in Photoshop, imports the layout in Catalyst and after some additional work and tweaking he is happily presenting a working demo including nice tweenings, some dummy-data and so on.
The client is quite impressed and very happy also, but wants some minor changes ... :
    - We would like to change the format a little bit...
    - Could you please change the dummy-text we saw already in your Photoshop-layouts to real text
    - We would like to see the Login-Screen...
So the designer does the changes in Photoshop - and then?
I didn´t find a possibility to re-import a Photoshop file.
I can´t edit the Photoshop text.
I cant´t edit code in the code-view.
I didn't find possibilities to re-import or update library-elements
So I still hope I missed some important features, otherwise I really don´t understand which workflows Adobe thought of to use Catalyst when it´s not only a one-way street to Flex/Flash Builder as mentioned in some other posts but also a one-way street from Photoshop/Illustrator with no functionable possibility to edit the design after an import.
At the moment I think the need for a product like catalyst shows that there still are some lacks in the usability of Flex and Flash

Add me to the count of folks who would like to see "update/edit original" capabilities in FC. Right now I'm on the path of going back to PSD, making changes, then re-importing the file into FC. This is frustrating because if I had a size change in PSD, it won't import automatically aligned to the old file, and can stall the application because the file size is bloated by the fact that existing layers are not being replaced.
Part of my long run-around routine could be solved by making text imported (not flattened) into FC fully editable within FC, instead of within Illustrator.
I would much prefer a smart object-like capability that would allow me to edit in smart object mode in Photoshop or AI. Or something like the links in Flash or InDesign. Heck, any of the above applications have update-graphics solutions that I would happily embrace

RAW editing workflow with Photoshop Elements 6

I have been using the following workflow with RAW images in iPhoto and editing them in Photoshop Elements 6. It seems to be working fine. Does anyone see a problem with my workflow???
I choose to edit in external editor (Elements 6), and the image opens in Camera Raw. I make my edits here because I really like the editing power of Camera Raw. After I am finished, I chose Save As and choose jpeg. The save dialog tries to save back to the Originals folder in the iPhoto Library that the RAW file came from, so I simply choose the appropriate event in the Modified folder and save it there. It replaces the jpeg that iPhoto had created when the original RAW file was imported. When I go back to iPhoto the changes are applied.
Now I realize that I can't reopen the original RAW file again in Elements without reverting to original, but that is usually not an issue. I also realize that messing with the iPhoto Library outside of iPhoto can be dangerous. Another drawback is that I haven't been able to open multiple RAW photos from iPhoto into Camera Raw so I can apply changes all at once.
But I can't see anything wrong with the workflow. Am I on the right track, or am I missing something?

No, I don't believe you can do that with RAW editing. By manually replacing the first modified version with your RAW edited version iPhoto will not update the thumbnail. You will be able to see the edited version if you go to the edit mode or full screen mode. But the thumbnail will not be identical. If that's OK with you then you should be able to go with that workflow.
If the edits are significant enough you might want to save the new file to the desktop and import as a new file.
You can try this on a copy of the iPhoto Library. Open the library package and move the contents of the Data folder to the trash along with the Thumb32Segment.data, Thumb642Segment.data and ThumbJPGSegment.data files. Then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. This will rebuild the thumbnail files and my reflect your edited versions. Again, make a backup copy of the library before trying this.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help 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..
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:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

14. Once my photos look the way I want, I then export them to JPEG. I have set up a Photoshop droplet for Lightroom that will then do all my sharpening after export.
That's it! I know it sounds like a lot of steps, but once you've done it a couple of times it goes by really quick. I'm really loving most things about Lightroom in terms of its cataloging and export options. But the image quality of the Lightroom raw conversions just isn't there yet. I've found by integrating both Capture NX and Lightroom I can get top quality results while still gaining advantage of Lightroom's many nice features. It took me a few days of exploration and experimentation to nail down the optimal workflow for my needs. Hopefully this will help some others out and maybe give them some ideas of their own toward a better workflow.
Please feel free to share your thoughts or own experience on all of this.
Thanks to Tony Long for his suggestion in this thread, which caused me to go on a search for the optimal Lightroom/Capture workflow: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?7@@.3bc719df/3

New Nikon Workflow with Lightroom

Just thought I would share my new workflow with everyone, in case anyone is not happy with the raw conversion provided by Lightroom and would rather use Capture NX to do the raw conversion on their files, but still use Lightroom for cataloging and ranking their photos (as well as exporting for web, etc).
1. Copy all photos from memory card into a folder on your computer.
2. Import the photos from your filesystem, using the "Copy photos to a new location and import" option. This is so you can work with a copy of the original, rather than the original.
3. Do your normal process for choosing which photos you would like to take the time to process, and which you would like to just throw away. I use the pick/rejected flags for mine.
4. Filter your photos by flag status, so only the picks are showing.
5. Export your picks to a temporary folder somewhere. This is where you will do all your Capture NX processing. I call this folder "Lightroom to Capture Transfer". You want to choose the option to export the original file. I created an export preset called "Export For Capture NX" with these settings in it to make it easier in the future.
6. Open the "Lightroom to Capture Transfer" folder in Capture NX using the built in file browser, and do all your raw adjustments to exposure compensation, white balance and noise reduction. All of which I find works better in Capture than in Lightroom. Save all your changes back into the same NEF file since Capture can save to the NEF format. Remember this file is just a copy of the original so we don't need to worry about making changes to our original raw file here. NOTE: Do NOT apply any sharpening here inside Capture since sharpening should be done at the end of your workflow. I shoot with my camera sharpening set to "None". If you haven't done this, you should set all your photos to sharpening "None" as part of your batch process in step 8 below.
7. Set up a watched folder in Lightroom called "Lightroom Auto Imported Photos", and enable Auto Import.
8. In Capture, create a batch process you can use to convert all your adjusted raw NEFs to tiff format. You will point the batch export to your Lightroom watched folder. As Capture batch converts all your raws to tiff, Lightroom will be importing them into your catalog.
9. Now you should have a folder inside your Lightroom catalog called "Lightroom Auto Imported Photos". Open that folder, select ALL the photos in the folder and hit "P" to mark them all as picks. Trust me on this one. =)
10. Now within Lightroom, drag all the photos at once into the folder containing your imported photos from step 2. You should see all your tiffs beside all your raw NEFs. And since you have a filter turned on to only show your picks in this folder, all your other non pick original raw files will be hidden.
11. Again, select ALL the photos in this folder and "Stacking -> Auto Stack by Capture Time." In the dialog, drag the slider down to 1 second. This should for the most part stack all the same nefs with the corresponding tiffs. Unless you were doing a ton of burst shooting. In which case you can manually stack them. Lightroom seems to always put the original NEFs on the top of the stack.
12. Select all the photos again, and "Stacking -> Move Down in Stack". This will bring all your processed tiffs to the top of the stack, and hide the nefs. This is exactly what you want. From here on out, you will be working on the tiffs.
13. Do any final processing to your photos inside Lightroom. Saturation, cropping, spot removal, etc. I also do all my key-wording here. NOTE: I do not do ANY sharpening inside Lightroom because I've found the sharpening just doesn't do it for me personally. I will do all sharpening later in Photoshop after I export them from Lightroom. Your mileage may vary.
14. Once my photos look the way I want, I then export them to JPEG. I have set up a Photoshop droplet fo

Single step workflow with multiple approvers (without using a group)

Hi,
is it possible to have a single step workflow with multiple approvers without using a group? This is for a contract document.
i want to add a number of users based on particular logic. The approvers are random and do not belong to any particular group.
DO let me know if it is possible or if any of you have done that.
thanks in advance.
regards,
rubio

Hi Rubio,
I believe the behavior would be, if individual users are added as approvers then the system would require each approver to approve the document. However, if you use the user group, you could set the role so that it would be either ALL or ANY.

Vikram

64 bit Lightroom 2.5 work well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4?

Anyone know if 64 bit Lightroom 2.5 works well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4? Any problems or conflicts? Or should I stick to 32 bit Lightroom 2.5?

It works fine, but the default will be to use the 64bit version of CS4 (which is also installed along with the 32bit version).
If you want to use the 32bit version of CS4 the easiest way is to open the 32bit CS4 before sending files from LR. I only have a few plugins that don't have 64bit versions, so I mostly use the 64 bit version of CS4, but occasionally I do use the 32bit version and that's how I do it.

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

Problems with Tiling in PhotoShop CS6

Hello!
I am having difficulty with tiling in PhotoShop CS6. I am trying to do a half drop repeat and a block (brick) repeat using a single image that I've manipulated with filters, etc.
When I make the pattern and then apply it to a new document, I get some strange striped coloring. The image has been flattened. See screenshot below:
Can anyone tell me why I am getting this strange coloration (I kind of like it, but not what I really want)?
I sincerely appreciate any help anyone can provide! Thank you!

Did you use the Paint Bucket Tool set to Pattern to fill the layer?
If so, go to Edit>Fill and uncheck the Scripted Patterns, press Cancel and then try again.

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?. Why does Photomerge Exposure not give me a finished DONE photo. If I open 2 photos, it will merge then, and when I press DONE I get a new photo file that I can save. However, if I open 3 photos, and go through the same process, the software analyzes the photos, I get a new image, BUT when I press DONE, the new image vanishes???? I can open the same 3 photos in Elements 8 and it works fine. any ideas please.

I, too, am having problems in version 11 with Photomerge Exposure. I can merge the 3 photos successfully with version 10. In version 11 when I click done, I am taken back to the Expert mode of the Editor but the merged photo in the photo bin is not accessible. When I first return to the editor, one of the original images (before merge) is selected. When I double/click on the merged photo it doesn't become the active image. In fact, any image I double click on momentarily becomes the active image and then jumps to another one.
The merged photo is visible in the photo bin but I can't select it.
I am running version 11 on my MacBook running OS 10.6.8

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.
