[QUOTE="Kilted1, post: 498993, member: 21046"] First off I have no experience with Elements. However if you are cmd+click or right clicking you should be able to fire up your external editor (If you have defined one in Preferences) My experience with Pixelmator and iPhoto 08 are as follows. 1. If I just edit a photo in PM and save it no change is seen on the thumbnail but when I click on the photo to make it full size my picture will show up edited. This is no doubt because PM does not make a thumbnail to replace the unedited one. 2. If I fire up PM from within iPhoto 08 it edits both the thumbnail, and the original and allows me to Revert to the original if I don't like what I've done. [B]NB.[/B] It's important to realise that if you edit a photo and then import to iPhoto you can't go back to the Original If you change the name of a file within the iPhoto folder iPhoto won't know what to do. Of course it will have to be re-Imported so that iPhoto can track it.
