Edit photo project pages in Photoshop CS3

If you have Adobe®Photoshop® CS3 and Photoshop Elements installed on the same computer, you can send JPEG, GIF, and other single-page photo files to Photoshop by using the Edit >Edit with Photoshop command. Photoshop does not support the multipage PSE file format, so it cannot edit entire photo projects. However, Photoshop can edit individual pages of a photo project, which are in the single-page PSD format.

Photoshop offers direct control over many aspects of photo project pages, including direct editing of photo layers (called Smart Objects in Photoshop) and frames. These features are limited in Photoshop Elements to preserve its easy, automatic image-editing workflow.

  1. In the Photo Browser, select the Photo Projects document.
  2. Click Show Properties, and then click General.
  3. Click the folder icon next to the path of the PSE file, which displays the PSE document in Windows Explorer.
  4. Locate and open the folder with the same name as the PSE document.
  5. Right-click the PSD file for the page you want to edit, and choose Open With > Photoshop CS.
  6. In Photoshop, make your changes, and then choose File > Save. When Photoshop asks if you want to replace the existing file, click Yes.
    Important: Do not reorder or rename layers in the PSD file. Doing so could prevent the automatic editing features in Photoshop Elements from working as expected.
