Lr 4.1 won't "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4" properly

Hello,
Using Lr 4.1 w/ Camera RAW 7.1 and Photoshop CS4 11.0.2... When I try to edit a RAW file in Ps as I always have in Lr 3.x (Right click film strip >> Edit In >> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4) I get the following message:
This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.7 for full compatibility. Please update the Camera Raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu. [Button options are: Render using Lightroom, Open Anyway, and Cancel.]
Render using Lr just keeps me in Lr, doesn't open Ps.
Open Anyway opens Ps, but not the image.
Using Ps >> help >> updates: says there are no updates.
But help >> About plug-in >> Camera Raw: shows it is only Version 5.7.0.213
Interestingly, if I go back to Lr and hit Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4 >> "Render using Lr" and then immediately do it again, this time clicking "Open Anyway" it actually DOES open the image in Ps. I can edit and then when I save it takes a long time to write the TIFF format (several times longer than when previously editing through Lr 3.x),
Is there a fix for this so I don't need to do multiple steps to edit from Lr to Ps? And is there a way to update the Camera Raw in Ps from 5.7.0.213 to 6.7 since Ps>>help>>updates doesn't catch it?
Thanks!
Mike

You are going to have to render using lightroom in order to use the latest ACR updates since you can no longer get ACR updates for PS CS4. But when you click on Render using LR, it still should open in CS4 I would think. You might be able to fix this by telling LR that you have another editing program, CS4, and then select it instead of the generic photoshop at the top of the this. But I would not think that you would have to do this.

Edit in adobe photoshop cs4 not working

Hi there!
I have Lightroom 2.3 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed.
The "edit in adobe photoshop cs4" function is not working for my RAW files (DNG). When I select "edit in adobe photoshop cs4", Photoshop is started up, but it doesn't load anything. It is working for other formats like JPG/TIF/PSD, as an -EDIT version though.
Anyone any idea? Thanks in advance!

Normally, when this happens it's because the version of Camera Raw installed with Photoshop doesn't support your camera. You haven't mentioned which camera you are using, but it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version of Camera Raw (currently 5.3, but there's a release candidate of 5.4 available from http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4

"Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″ a JPEG?

Hey, I have a problem: when I try to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″, and select "Edit a Copy" It doesnt open in Photoshop CS3 a .PSD file: it opens a .JPG file.
I'm viewing an JPEG, and I have selected to copy as PSD.
Is that ok? Comments? Thanks!

> I have a problem: when I try to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″, and select "Edit a Copy" It doesnt open in Photoshop CS3 a .PSD file: it opens a .JPG file.
To my way of thinking, this is correct behavior. When it's opened in PS, it *is* a JPEG to start with. You do your edits, then you SAVE as whatever you want. If you want it back to a JPEG, Save as, otherwise, you can save as PSD or TIFF and you won't have lost anything due to re-compression.
Converting a JPEG to PSD only to open it immediately in PS does nothing positive, and is just an extra step.

LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

Is there a fix for this? When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image. In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal. This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release. I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.

Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64

This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files. LR4 released at the same time as the D800. LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool. Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop. LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems. As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.

Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC

When I have an image in Lightroom 5 that I want to edit in Photoshop, if i use Photo> Edit In> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC I get a message that Photoshop can not be opened. If I launch Photoshop first, then the Edit In command will send the image to Photoshop. This problem has only developed recently. Until a couple of weeks ago I had no problem with the command. I have done all the updates to both Lightoom and Photoshop as I am notified. I currently am running Lightroom 5.3 on a Mac using OS 10.9.1. I was advised by Adobe in there Live Chat sectuon to un-install Bridge, Lightroom and Photoshop then re-install all three. This I did, which took several hours. The problem is still there. What can I do?

Did you reinstall Lightroom last? If you didn't, try reinstalling Lr again.

Lightroom does not open photoshop using "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command.
Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them. The
“Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
Is there a way to fix this? I use this feature frequently.

In reply to DdeGannes:
What’s broken? -- The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
Was it working before? Yes.
What happens if you click? - Nothing.
Do you get an error message? - No.

Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

When in Lightroom 5 and I select "edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014" it doesn't create a copy in tif or psd format (or jpg format) like it did in previous versions. A box use to pop up allowing me to set the file type, color space etc then in Lightroom I would get a second file (filename-edit.xxx) and photoshop would open that file for editing. I am very use to this workflow from my previous versions of LR 4 and cs3... Any help is appreciated!

By the time the image is open in Photoshop is no longer raw image data. You are not working on the raw file in Photoshop. The only difference in your workflow is when that TIF file is saved. Since Lightroom and Photoshop are in sync the saving of that secondary file is postponed until the end of the Photoshop session. But any work you do in Photoshop is saved to the TIF file. The only difference is the point at which the file is saved. So you really don't have to change your workflow at all. Photoshop, by itself, cannot do anything with the raw image data.
To expand a little further, Photoshop cannot edit raw image data. When an image is sent from Lightroom to Photoshop, Camera Raw is used to interpret the adjustments that have been made in Lightroom. The image is then converted to a standard RGB image. When Photoshop and Lightroom are "in sync" that converted image is sort of "suspended" in Photoshop. You make the adjustments using Photoshop, and then the image is saved to a TIF or PSD file depending on your Lightroom preferences. When Lightroom is newer than Photoshop/Camera Raw then Lightroom will give you the choice of creating the TIF image that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments, or to open the image in Photoshop. If you choose the latter, then the image will be opened without creating the TIF, but all of the adjustments you made in Lightroom may not be applied because you are using an older Camera Raw. That may or may not create a problem. Something that you will have to decide.

Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS without saving the file

When I do "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS" of a RAW file, LR saves a TIFF or PSD file first, then opens it with PS CS. LR should give an option to forward the picture to PS CS through some in-memory inter-process communication, as opposed to saving the photo from LR and re-open it from PS CS. It might be much faster.
In case, I understand LR would not give the option to stack the edited file with the RAW file.

>all I want to do is run an action in PS that converts to jpg with a particular filter applied.
Then turn it into a droplet (you do know how to do that?) and put it in the Exprt Actions Folder and call for it in a Export Preset set for the JPEG you want.
LR will then on Export run the droplet and save to the folder of your choice.

Edit in Adobe Photoshop is not working

Hi,
I have this strange problem with Lightroom/Photoshop integration. It is easier to describe what is working than what is not. When I select a single JPG or PSD photo from Lightroom integration works ok. I can open the photo directly as "Edit in Adobe Photoshop" and PS opens and it opens the photo. However if I select DNG photo or try to open a photo as smart object or select multiple images and try to open them as layers in PS, then PS lauches but PS doesn't open the image(s).
If I create an additional editor and select PS there with same defaults as the default one, I can open DNG photos in PS using that. Obviously that doesn't help with open smart objects, layers, panoramas or HDR.
I am running latest version of Lightroom (3.5) and Photoshop (12.0.4) on my MacBook with OSX 10.7.2. I had the same problem last week and the restarting my computer helped. Now it doesn't... I have searched solutions for this problem and people have previously suggested for removing the preferences file (plist), I tried that with LR and PS, no help. I have reinstalled both programs, but the problem still persists.
Any suggestions?
Kari

Thanks, I saw that already. Tried both of the suggestions... Didn't help
I just tried to restore all Adobe related preferences (to ~/Library/Preferences from TimeMachine which are about two weeks old. That doesn't seem to help either.

Reply to Trevor Dennis:
I am a long-time user, back to Photoshop 6. I have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.7.5 (Lion). I have tried to reboot and then reinstall but I keep getting the same message, that there are components missing from the appl;ication directory. The program worked well this past week so this is a new problem. As it is CS 5 I can't get much help from Adobe.

Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 not working

Hello,
I'm running Lr 5.6 and just updated to Ps 2014.2.1 on a Mac and now when I click edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Ps opens but with and empty window. I see on the internet that many other people had this issue when they went to Ps CC 2014 and Adobe says to update to Ps 2014.1 to fix it but I'm past that and having the same problem. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Ps but no change. Lr in creative cloud says uninstall unavailable.... Please help!!! I have two photoshoots to process!!!

This script that Rikk Flohr posted worked for me. You must complete both solutions 1 & 2 which means you have to reload Photoshop CC 15

Canon 5D Mark III -- Lightroom 4.1 - Edit in Adobe Photoshop not working

Hello, I appoligize if this has already been answered, I couldn't find a solution. I have the new Canon 5D Mark III, and I updated to Lightroom 4.1 so I can import the 5D3 RAW image into LR. But when I go to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5" or "Merge to HDR Pro in PhotoShop", PS starts, but it doesn't load any files. I was assuming this is because the PS Camera Raw is out of date. So I downloaded the cameraraw6-7_r1_win_030612, but when try to install it, I get "Some updates failed to install. Update is not applicable".
What am I missing here?

Hi Tim,
Please refer to the link below which says:
Set the camera to Print/PTP. Images don't import when the camera is set to PC Connect.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended won't install from CD

I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 a few years back and installed it onto my PowerMac G5 Tower (pre-intel). Now I'd like to instal the program on my MacBook Pro (OsX, 10.6.8).
QUESTIONS:
1. Is it not compatible?
2. What is the current version of Adobe Photoshop that I should be running on the Macbook Pro?
3. Must I pay for the whole program again?

I am getting no message. I get an icon and am able to open the folders on the disc.
Right. Pro video forum. I need the services of Adobe Photoshop to create an alpha slug because I am experiencing a final cut pro x glitch: I have a custom title which I turned into a storyline and added a transition (a 'Slide In'). Underneath in the layer below, I have my video set to 20% opacity. However, when I play through the clip, when the slider plays through the actual transition, the opacity of the clip below is altered and gets brighter.
Creating an alpha slug and placing it prior to the text and then connecting them with the ('slide in') in transition has been one possible solution I could find elsewhere on an internet forum.
UPDATE:
OK. I found a 'set-up' icon in the folder and am currently installing.
I was jumping the gun in thinking that it was not compatible and needing a new solution.
Thanks for responding.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 won't open in Yosemite. Anything I can do about this?

After installing Yosemite I was told that in order "To open Adobe Photoshop CS4 you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.
Unfortunately I was also told that I needed to upgrade to Java 8 update 25...which I did thinking it would also resolve the Photoshop issue.
Silly me!
It probably made things worse as far as the possibility of opening Photoshop CS4.
Now what do I do?
I don't want to go back to Java 6. Are there any other options?
Thanks.

Thanks Rikk. Now the problem is installing legacy.
Every time I select the "install" option I get a blank screen.
I've been reading other posts about this and it may have something to do with Safari.
I'll try another browser and see what happens

Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.

I've read another post indicating this error upon install of CS4. Many of the factors described do not fit my scenario, so I thought I'd post this again.
Basically, I have Win XP SP3 all updates applied. Minimal services running. No software firewall. Everything installed just fine from Production Premium CS4 EXCEPT Photoshop. Error shown in subject line of this post is issued by installer.
Photoshop won't boot stating it is missing files from it's folder.
Wazzup?

OK. This error drove me nuts and I have seen a thousand different "solutions" posted on various forums (none of which actually worked), but I think I found the magic bullet for this problem. This appears to be a result of corrupted/missing language pack files. Here's what I did to resolve it once and for all!
You should already have a folder somewhere with the contents/Setup.exe for CS4 Design Premium
Download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
Unpack the contents to a folder/directory somewhere on your PC
You will NOT be installing the Photoshop CS4 Extended application - only copying some files.
Copy the "extensions" folder from Photoshop CS4 Extended, that you just downloaded to your CS4 Design Premium folder (there should be an "extensions" folder already there as well)
Select yes if prompted to replace existing files/folders.
Double-click the Setup.exe in your CS4 Design Premium directory and re-start the installation of Photoshop from there.
Problem should be solved.
