Referenced Vs. Managed work with Photoshop editing

What i have found that when in managed then any changes i make in PS, then "Replace" Photo in the Aperture Folder will then show up, if i do not "Replace" and give it another name, it does not show up in my project. 😟

If i work in Refrenced, nothing shows up like it goes up Poof to thin air.

Thank you for your reply.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me:

When editing with Photoshop where do the edited versions go? it's not showing up back in my project I have tried doing it with Refrenced pics as well as Managed pics.

Where do the Photoshop edit versions go. i tried playing with just one Folder. Imported one folder as managed and one as referenced..... and can't find the edited version? Am I saving it wrong?

Also when i imported the folder as a managed file i still saw the original folder under "pictures" does that mean it's on my hard drive twice, once in Pictures and once in the Aperture Library? That would take up too much space.

YEY thanks!!!!!!!! I will try this!

Also for the second part of my question 😉

It didn't work 😟

Got it. Thanks!

I just wish i could figure out the Photoshop part.....😢

I want to continue using it while i am learning Aperture..... But the copies desapear POOF. It only reflects if I work in Managed and Save it as "Replace".

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! I will check on those links out.🙂 If nothing else I now know that if i "Save As:.....jpeg" and yes to "Replace" it does reflect in my managed folder. Now the trick will be to also find a way to make it work in Refrenced files since kind of wanted to work with Refrenced.... but we shell see.

The answer is yes I am jusing Elements. I had PS5..... from when i used to be a Photo Journalist in a local paper, then life took me else where. When i got a new iMac a few months ago I decided to try Elements. it's more basic but it works well enough for me. 😉

I used to use the combo of Photoshop 4 then 5 with Picasa as my orgenizer.

I thought Elements would bring both together for me. when it didn't i tired Lightroom, when that didn't work for me..... everyone said get Aperture 😮 I like it better then Lightroom so far But

NEW, NEW, NEW, NEW system for me. But i guess baby steps.😉

Thanks, but i do have the Adobe version. i bought Elemets. Yes it does have the orgenizer but when i tried it the first time i set it up it did not work well as i thought it would, so i only stuck to the editing. The orgenizer did not seem user friendly at all, it's not a bad idea to contact them though and see......

I just used Picasa to orgenize and view.

I actually don't mind if it saves is as PSD or Tiff BUT if i do it does not reflect back into Aperture? strange. the only version that reflects back is

"Save As:.....jpeg" and yes to "Replace" it does reflect in my managed folder.😐

I will be reading through the treads you recommended as well as contact Adobe and see.😕

Thanks again, Orly

I too used to use PS 4 and then 5. When it was time to upgrade last year I chose to get elements. I missed my PS 4 but elements did the job. Like I said I used to use Picasa to organize and view and PS to edit then elements. Three months ago I decided to get an iMac and at the store they said if you have a back ground in photography you should get Aperture it will do both for you. AND HERE WE ARE.

f PS Elements doesn't have a simple 'File > Save' command (which is what you really want with Aperture), then I think you just need to find the settings that perform the same function.

No it does not. The only one I found so far is saving it as jpeg and “Replacing.”

It should be as simple as:

1. In Aperture run the Edit with Photoshop Elements command

2. Make edits in Photoshop Elements

3. Save file in PS Elements and return to Aperture (and make Aperture window active) to see changes applied to TIFF or PSD version

All that was done at set up. What I am not understanding is that the default “save” is .tif and the bottom it says .tiff ?????

But if I save it as the default it does not work. It ONLY works if I change it to jpeg. Honestly I don’t care if it’s jpeg, I work with jpegs all the time, but I do think it’s strange.

This should work in either the Managed or Referenced library. In the Managed library, the PS edited file will only be visible in Aperture without digging into the library package. In a Referenced library, the TIFF or PSD file should be located in the same folder as the original file in finder (as mentioned by William).

For me it ONLY works in managed not in Referenced. In Referenced it does show up in the original file but it does not reflect back to the Aperture projects. 😕 I have a class “OneToOne” on Saturday and will see if they know what the issue is.

Thanks for you help! I will let you know.😉
