deleting iPhoto images

The quotes are lovely but bearly readable. What's the problem?

Are you using PSE 12 from within iPhoto and the external editor? If so then are you using is in this manner:

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..

NOTE: 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:

Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10

Note: 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.

OT

Did I really write "bearly readable" instead of barely legible? Sheez.

Personally I think both terms apply.

Did you edit those photos from with iPhoto with PSE? Did you make sure that you flattened the image and saved it as a jpg file? If no then the files are inside the library package but iPhoto doesn't know where. ]

My previous post about using PSE with iPhoto explains why, if PSE tries to save it as a .psd file, the file must be flattened and saved as a jpeg. That way iPhoto knows it's been edited, will update the thumbnail and let the user see and further use the edtied version.
