From: The Wolf on 25 Jun 2010 10:52 I just changed my pref in iPhoto to use photoshop as the editing software. But when I double click or push the edit button on a photo in iPhoto it launches photoshop but does not open the image to be edited. Shouldn't it do that?

I use GraphicConverter as my external editor. I right click on the photo of interest, click on "Edit in External Editor". It then fires up GraphicConverter and places a duplicate of the selected in iPhoto into GC's display for editing. After editing I can over-write the original with my mods, or save it to another location. Why it's not working properly with Photoshop I can't say. -- If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

The above "surely" is just not so at all. (As a general rule, when someone says that something is "surely" so, that's often a good sign that it isn't so.) There is nothing to inherently prevent that. Depending on the particular apps in question, there might be some form of locking, but as a general statement, that just is not so. The OS doesn't inherently prevent such things. As a quick verification, I just now did about the simplest case that I could think of. Using the finder's "open with" I opened a text document of mine with TextEdit. While that was still opened, I also opened it with TextWrangler. No complaints from either when opened. When I tried to make edits with both copies open, I got warnings (at slightly different times and ways from the two apps, but simillar in idea) about the copy on disk being different from the one being edited. But there was clearly nothing to prevent the multiple opens, and it was only the tests built into the specific apps that noticed anything odd at all. -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain
