How can I get ArcSoft Photostudio 6 to open pictures from iPhoto?

Moving from PC to iMac. On PC, I could load and also save to my photo library from Photostudio 6. But when I see my iPhoto library when trying to open from Photostudio 6, it's pale and I can't open it. Is there a way to unlock this, or be able to upload from iPhoto to Photostudio 6?

Thanks!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

No idea whart Photostudio 6 is - specific support for it would be from the author


iPhoto uses a SQLite database you you NEVER directly accdess or change it in any way


the general answer for access If Photostudio 6 is a immage editor then you can set it as an external editor int eh iPhoto prefereences - if it is a photo management program then you can not use it with iPhoto - to bring photos into another photo manager use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the open window (under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto)

Same as any editor, set it as an External Editor in the iPhoto Preferences.


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.
