How to work with an external editor in iPhoto
That's interesting [your discovery that RAW files get passed to Photoshop as JPGs]. I don't use RAW, but I tried a PSD file and find that it gets passed as a PSD no matter how I choose to edit it [click, context menu, whatever].

How to work with an external editor in iPhoto
The fact that PSD files are always sent to Photoshop as PSD files is partly due to the different way iPhoto treats RAW from the way it treats other image formats. When you edit a photo in iPhoto, it always keeps the original unchanged in the Originals folder and changes a copy of that original, which it places in the Modified folder. With every format except RAW, the copy it makes is of the same format as the original -- so there will be two photos called, say, IMG_001.psd; one in the Originals folder and one in the Modified folder. With RAW, however, the copy that gets saved is a different format from the original -- specifically, a jpg. This is to conform to the "RAW philosophy", which treats RAW as a digital negative that should never be edited directly. |
