Photoshop Elements 11 won't roundtrip in Aperture

I just purchased Photoshop Elements 11, installed it, selected it in the Aperture preferences, restarted Aperture and tried to edit an Aperture photo using the new Photoshop Elements 11. From Apertures "photos" menu I selected edit with Photoshop Elements 11. Aperture created a new version and opened Photoshop Elements 11, but my photo file did not open in Photoshop Elements so could not edit it from Elements. Anyone else have the same problem? Ant suggestions appreciated.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Aperture 3.4

Solved one problem with earlier version solution.

Try Barbara's advice:

However I seem to have a problem getting the edited version of my Elements Photo to appear back in Aperture.

I save my edit and close Elements, but saved vesrsion of the photo does appear in Aperature.

Any thoughts ??

What are you sending to Elements? What's coming back? If the format changes (and Elements defaults to psd), or if you use Save As then Element is making the new file and Aperture knows nothing about it.
