I'm not able to edit my photos from iPhoto in Photoshop CS5. I've already tried the Preferences and chosen Photoshop as my editing program. I can't even drag and drop the photos into Photoshop. I've even tried to email them to myself. No luck. All I can do is LOOK AT them in iPhoto! Help, I'm on a deadline!
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
There is no indication anywhere that this is a deliberate decision, it's most likely a screw up. Stuff happens. But I would caution you that Apple - nor I - would consider iPhoto anything like robust enough for a Pro or Semi-Pro setting.

Tiff files that I created with the System, i.e. screenshots, edit OK in iPhoto and Photoshop CS3. The jpg file that's created from those tiff files are readable by PS.
However, tif file created by PS and imported into iPhoto don't get converted to a usable jpg file.
What I think is happening is iPhoto is changing the extension on the tif file to .jpg without changing the actual format. I read one of the jpgs that iPhoto tried to create as part of the editing with a couple of EXIF reader apps and one showed the file to still be a tif and the other reported "No or invalid EXIF header"
To confirm that I took a tif file and changed the extension to .jpg. When opening with PS I got the "No or invalid EXIF header" message.
I'm betting that iPhoto is doing the same with png files, changing the extensions without actually changing the format.
I have reported this as a bug on the Apple developer system. I was rather curtly informed that Apple were aware of this issue but no indication that any priority was being given or serious consideration to this horrible bug. Now some considerable number of weeks later, no improvement, patches or updates. It cannot be too difficult to remove the lines of code that have introduced this error. Not too impressed!
I can't edit my photos in Photoshop CS5.
