Anybody have some tips?
Many thanks

Matthew…..
I am only an occasional user of iPhoto,but a regular user of PSE.
I carry out all my photo editing in PSE,save the image to one of my photo folders,and then import into iPhoto from the folders.
This is probably not what you are looking for in the answer,but it might encourage others to come up with a smarter solution.
Matthew,
I use iPhoto quite a lot and my workflow is edit in PSE2, save to a folder on the desktop then import into iPhoto.
It is possible to save directly back into iPhoto but its not a method I like … I think that its safer to import 🙂

I prefer to make a duplicate, by dragging a photo out of the iPhoto frame onto my desktop, then just open it in PSE. This way you are using the best ones that you choose, and you automatically make a dupe when you drag it out.
I think its a safe way to work on a photo, close iPhoto when you have the ones taken out that you want to work on.
No mistakes can be made this way. You have all your originals sitting back in iPhoto. I prefer to always work on dupes. If you really want to, you can import one back into iPhoto, but I dont do that, iPhoto is for my originals only.

I’m the other way round I keep my originals outside iPhoto and worked on duplicates in iPhoto. That way I can use things like the slide show facility on my corrected images ….

The other alternative is to import all your photos into iphoto, then set up the iphoto preferences so that a double click will open into Elements. If you then just save the edited photo as a jpeg back where it came from it will then automatically be saved so that iphoto knows it is edited – you can always revert back to the original in iphoto at the click of a button.
In practice as I shoot RAW images I tend to download to another folder first, convert and edit the RAW files and then import just the edited file sinto iphoto, as most of the others seem to.
