Photo Edit in CS4 not working

Hello,
THE SETUP
I have LR 3.3 and PS CS 4 Version 11.0.2 on a Mac running OS X.6.7.
My "About Lightroom" screen reports the presence of Camera Raw 6.3.
In my LR preferences under "External Editing" tab, I have the option to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4" as PSD / sRGB / 16 bit / rez 300. There is no "Additional External Editor" present.
I have installed in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats the Camera Raw Plug-in version 5.7. When I choose Photoshop>About Plugin>Camera Raw I see that CR version 5.7.0.213 is present.
THE PROBLEM
When I select photo(s) [CR2 file(s)] in LR3 and choose Photo>Edit in> none of the external edit-in-Photoshop options work. First, I get a message saying "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.3 for full compatibility."
I resent this suggestion, since that version of Camera Raw only works with CS5.
When I click "Open Anyway," PS opens and loads, but that's it. None of the images from LR appear.
I get the same (non)-results with all of the options (edit in CS4, HDR, panorama, smart object, etc.) under "Photo>Edit In." Photoshop launches, but no image appears.
The only way I can get a photo to open in PS from within LR is to choose Photo>Edit in>Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4, and then when the warning dialog comes up about the Camera Raw plug-in version, click "Render in Lightroom." When I do that, LR renders the image and it opens in CS4. But that doesn't help me do what I really want to do, which is to select bracketed exposures in LR, merge them to HDR in CS4, and save them back to LR.
I have searched for help on this and come up dry. I did find this http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?9974-Open-as-layers-in-Photoshop-command-not -working, but I reinstalled the CR 5.7 plug-in as described and saw no change.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lr 3.3 and CS4 are not fully compatible so your experience is the result of that.
You will have to bite the bullet and upgrade to CS5 if you dont want to "Render in LR".
I've worked for quite a while with LR 3 and CS3 and experienced similar problems - the only way out is that you select "Render in LR".
It's not such a big deal. When you select "Render in LR", Lr creates the psd that then opens in CS4.
With CS5 it works this way: The RAW file opens in CS5 but when you save in CS5 a psd is generated.

  • The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage

    The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
    This is not fun.

  • FCP 7.0.3 ripple edit in timeline not working

    FCP 7.0.3, AVCHD/proRes 422 LT, ripple edit in timeline not working. Using the ripple tool, I click on the edit point, drag the cursor to the clip and direction I want to trim but it doesn't work. pop-up says collision on V-1. Same thing when I double-click the clip to player and try to move the edit point on the scrub bar. This was functional in prior sessions. What's happening? Thx in advance.

    I'm only using one (V1) track. Prior to this problem I was unable to insert edit. That problem mysteriously vanished after an unsuccessful phone support session w/ Apple failed to solve. Also when I try to insert w/transition (default cross-dissolve) the transition is applied to the opposite edit point,ie: out point of insert clip has transition instead of in point where it was applied. When I try to add transition to edit point (CMD-T) it doesn't work.
    I'm slowly working around the ripple edit malfunction by using the razor tool and ripple delete (shift-delete) to trim in the timeline.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 not working under MacOS 10.9

    on starting DW CS4 it asks for Java Runtime engine 6, but Mavericks has Java v.7 installed. Since Java 6 was part of the OS of previous systems, I cannot install it seperately, besides it would probably cause conflicts with OS 10.9. Do I have to trash my DW, or is there a workaround.
    Thanx

    If I follow click the instal button on
    I get the progress bar for about 1 sec and then the message about a supposed
    network problem
    which is unreal, since my network works perfectly for any other task and I
    had even tried disabling the firewall and little snitch. Things are still
    not working

  • Saved Shopping Cart Display/Edit functions are not working

    Hello SRM experts,
    The problem that I have is that the buttons like Display, Edit, etc are not working on a saved Shopping Cart. What is the best way to debug this problem? How would I find out what methods are being called on the SRM system or if some entries are missing in some table for BUS2121?
    We are on SRM 7.0 PPS SPS 5, Portal 7.01 SPS 5.0.
    Thanks,
    Mani

    Hi Mani,
    We are also facing a similar issue. Our protocol is HTTP throughout but still the issue persists.
    Can you shed some light on any other config that you changed?

  • Resize photos option in Preview not working

    I use Preview to resize my photos depending on where I'm posting or sending to. Since I've downloaded Yosemite I will resize photo  and it's not working. I have my photos in iCloud drive & am working between an iMac and a iMac Pro. I'm trying to resize to send out to  have printed vs. at home printing. This problem has only happened since upgrading to Yosemite. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Resizing works fine here.
    Best practice is:
    Open image in Preview
    Tools > Adjust size;    enter the new values and click OK
    Press the option button then     File Save As give it a new name and save to desktop

  • 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

  • LR2 and PS4 - merging to HDR, merge to Panaorama and Edit in Layers not working

    Hi,
    I've recently upgraded from LR to LR2.1 and Photoshop CS to CS4. I've been trying to multi-select images from LR2 and edit them as HDR and Panoramas using the "Edit in->" merging options.
    None of them seem to work. I can see PS CS4 being opened, but then nothing happens. No image is opened or dialog box shown anywhere. Closing PS doesn't prompt for any saving, etc.
    I think the problem is because my RAW/DNG files are stored on a NAS. Trying to do the merge from PS directly using the files also doesn't work. But if I copy the files to my local HDD, then things work a lot better.
    Is this a known issue with CS4?
    iMac, OSX Leopard, 4Gb RAM.

    I have done some more tests:
    Setting up CS3 as "Additional External Editor" in LR2.1 Edit/Preferences/External Editing works fine with RAW ( .NEF ) files on NAS-drive.
    Also CS4 as "Additional External Editor" works the same way. The procedure is the same as when CS3 was the standard editor, ie exporting a TIFF file from LR2.1.
    The difference is that the standard CS4 integration is not writing TIFF files från LR, but has a more tight integration to CS4, which is much faster. But still not working when RAW files are on NAS. ( LR catalog files are on local disk ).
    Configuration:
    Dell dimension 9200
    Windows Vista Home Premium ( 32-bit )
    D-link DNS-323 NTFS file system
    Lightroom 2.1
    Photoshop CS4 Extended
    Latest updates installed.

  • Adobe CS4 not Working with video

    I started a project in HDV.. 720P. And i tried importing some Video and its not working. Its stuck on the first frame only. Even When I Export. I exported an animation i did in Carrara in 720. Imported it into CS4 and it it stuck on the first frame. It's not the only video that doesn't work. A lot of my footage is not importing right. It's running perfectly in VLC and even in Vegas 9. I don't know why it's not working. Any Help fellas. I thought it might be a Codec problem but it's not . It should come withe Premiere. And i tried GSPOT and it said no codec needed. I'm primarily working with AVIs. I even tried changing the Extension. No luck Please. I need Help ASAP. Marketing assignment due soon.
    (2nd EXPLANATION SAME PROB)
    Hey Guys. Just got adobe Premiere CS4. I've been trying to import some footage into it for editing but it's either a hit or miss. I thought it was my computer and or graphics card but when i tried it on my PC instead of my laptop i had the same issue. I start with a new document HDV. With 720P at 25fps. And i tried importing footag but all i get it the first frame or so.. I Rendered an animation out of carrara withe 1280 X 768.. or whatever it was and it didnt budge.. Even after i pressed enter to render work area.. I tried importing some other footage and it didn't work.. I then tried importing other 720P stuff.. some work some didn't. But without audio. I imported a clip of Sherlock holmes in 720P. It looked nice.. but again.. no audio.. Do i need codecs? or something. I mean all the videos that i try to import play well in VLC.. I even tried changing the extension from avi, to mov, to mp4... Nothing.. CS4 even rejected MOV, and WMV... wierd.. ok.. well any ideas folks.. I ned this up and running asap. Becuse before i start working in after effects and all that i'd like to know this is working first.. or so god help me i'll use Vegas.. =(

    First let me say that I have been fighting PrPro CS4 for about 4-5 days now, and only just started reading in here to figure out what i could do to "fix" my problem. I was having all sorts of fits with the playback inside of PrPro freezing and then "not responding." I came across all kinds of posts about computers, memory, drivers and settings, operating systems and all of that. It wasn't until some one that is also having struggles stated that they had a USB drive for unrelated storage did the light go on. So I disconnected my 2 USB drives (one a 250GB desktop Thermaltake drive and the other a 320GB WD My Passport) and loaded up a project that had all been rendered useless. VOLA, working like a charm now. Just like old times, I love my PrPro CS4, where about 2 hours ago I was ready to start working on my resume...lol
    Bottom line, don't leave a USB drive hooked up.

  • Blending mode in Adobe Premier Pro CS4 not working???

    in Adobe Premier Pro CS4, the "multiply" blending feature is not  working properly. When there's no video underneath the "blending" layer,  it SHOULD not show anything, but instead the clip instead just shows  up.

    Well, the problem is that you're assuming that the "nothing" in the gaps in your PPro sequence is "something," when really, it actually IS "nothing"...
    OK, existentialism aside, when you see black in the Program Monitor that results from a gap between two clips, from a digital standpoint, there really is nothing there. Empty spaces in a PPro sequence are actually a fully transparent layer, created by an alpha channel that encompasses the entire frame. Since the Multiply mode is expecting RGB values to operate on, when it doesn't encounter any (due to the alpha channel) the effect is just ignored--that's why you see the clip with the Multiply mode when it crosses those gaps.
    You can correct this by filling your gaps with "real" black, either from an imported graphic or from the black video generator in PPro. Simply edit a bit of it into the gap so that there are no holes, and your multiplied clips will disappear.
    And for that matter, it's never a good idea to leave empty holes in a Premiere sequence; it's often the cause of rendering and exporting headaches.

  • Photo browser in Mail not working

    In new mail my photo browser will not add photos even though it appears on screen when requested. Some time ago I had to replace my original photo library with a new one and I think this has caused the problem as it used to work fine. I do not know what to do to get it working again and would really appreciate any help to do so. Should I consider re-installing Leopard?

    Hi Buzz,
    Hi John; Sorry that I didn't reply sooner. Been busy playing with a new toy! I got carried away here so this kind-a long!
    Keep the chat coming - it made me laugh!
    Well, O.K. Hmm, this will amuse you and may amaze you too! The ONLY reason I EVER had for buying a Computer was due to my mind's insatiable boredom created by my job! It's a long story but I LIVED out of my suitcase, in Hotel's/Motel's, a different Town/City every day, 6 days a week! And *I HATED IT!* I was so bored *OUT OF MY MIND*, I became an alcoholic! I didn't just get drunk every night, I STAYED drunk all day long every day! I was so good at being drunk I could FAKE being SOBER! EVERYBODY I talked to was convince that I had a speech impediment. I wanted to quit but the salary for this job was so INSANE I couldn't. The Job: K-Mart Field Auditor. The year: 1979-82! The Computer: A 1980 Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80!
    The amazing part of this story: I STILL have the Computer, it STILL works and I STILL use it! It's the ONLY Computer that I've EVER own that's SO stable it HAS never CRASHED. Unfortunately I STILL have a addiction but isn't alcohol, it's Computers! I'm SO addicted my Boss wants to commit me to a psychiatric hospital but he won't! He can't replace me! I'm the ONLY Certified Windows Professional in this city with more of years experience than all of the other CWP have been alive! I was doing 'Stuff' with my TRS-80 25 years ago that most Computers *CAN'T EVEN* do today but that's another story! Do you know somebody else that STILL uses a 27 Year Old Computer?
    If you have more than one email account when you click new mail there is a "From" box right under the address boxes which allows you to click on the account you want to use to send- in my case either @tiscali or @google.
    Yup I'm in the Groove now and I'm following you but that ONLY changes the From:, not the E-Mail Account that will Send it! There's a different option to do this that I will explain ...
    If I open new mail and click the google address all is well. Not so if I click tiscali.
    Yup! It's the 'stuff' that makes you go NUTS when the logic ain't logical! But after doing some research about multiple Mail Accounts I found the logical logic that will help! Hmm, did that make any sense to you? I'm get so confused when I do immutable weird mutating stuff that turns my logical mind into mindless gibberish logic but it makes me happy!
    Alternatively it could be that this difference only appeared after I carried out the start up operation you gave me last time. I do not know.
    O.K. Me BAD! I told you to do that but I didn't tell you WHY. As you're using your Mac it creates different Caches to cut down on having to re-search the Hard Drive again. This makes 'Stuff' open quicker and when you open 'Stuff', the Mac will ALWAYS look at the caches first before looking at the Hard Drive. If the Mac finds this 'Stuff' in the cache it WILL NOT look for it any further and uses the Cached Information. If you change something on the Hard Drive that the Mac HAS NOT cached, like renaming iPhoto files without using iPhoto, it won't know about it and then weird stuff starts happening. 'Safe Boot' clears the caches and MAKES the Mac re-cache 'Stuff'.
    I have tried to attach all sorts of photos to the tiscali new mail and none works - thought maybe there was some kind of size limit perhaps but lots of the older photos are really quite small.
    Well, I think I know an answer for this should work! You know: what's good for the goose should be good for geese! O.K. down to business and I took my time to aim this 'Shot'! Hmm, where to start and do I explain this simply?
    First open Mail then Preferences and goto the Account window. You know how to setup the Accounts because they work, sort of! At the bottom of the Account Information window, there's an option to use a 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)'. It's a drop down box that will let you change or edit this information. Change this to 'None' and underneath this option is a check box to 'Use only this server'. Un-check it if it's checked. Now you don't have a 'Default Mail Server' and can choose the server to use from a new e-mail. Now while you are still in this window, click the Advance button under the tool bar. At the bottom of this window there's a click box for the option 'Use IDLE command if the server supports it'. Un-check it if it's checked. This option only works with IMAP Servers and not with the POP Servers that you use. O.K. You still with me?
    Now click the 'Composing' icon on the tool bar at the top. Then uncheck 'Automatically <Cc or Bcc> myself' if it's checked and you don't use it. IMO:This option SO asinine! But stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff'. Now, the next option to change is 'Send new mail from'. This maybe the 'Pain in your Derrière' that you're having but it should change when you select the 'From:' while creating new e-mail. You probably only have three choices here and I suggest anything BUT the 'Account of the last viewed mailbox'. O.K. Still with me?
    Now I KNOW why my this Mail Stuff was a 'Pain in your Derrière'. Did I mention that stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff'. This is a quote I found in Mail's Help! *"To change the server you want to use to send the message, use the server pop-up menu in the New Message window."* Well, O.K. But I was going blind looking for this infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' in the the 'New Message Window'. Mail's Help said It's there but I don't SEE IT! Plus, I don't believe everything I read or half of the 'Stuff' I see! Swell, Just Swell! I feel like I'm watching PAINT dry! And I'm not in my 'Groove' yet plus I know the answer will 'DAWN ON ME' later while I'm doing other 'Stuff'! So I do, then it does and 'DAWN', my third eye, shows me the way! O.K. Are you still with me or are you busy, laughing at this rambling Weirdo? Can you tell that I read & write like a moron that's a Computer Genius?
    Now were was I? O Yea... Open a new e-mail window and look for a square box on the left side of 'FROM:'. See it? Now click on it and a drop box will appear. The infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' option you want isn't even list here and I kept missing it! I did mention that stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff', didn't I? So click on 'Customize ...' and the ALL the Mail options are now shown with check boxes. Isn't that just dandy? Are you cursing at that stupid programer like a truck driver? I DID! I cursing now! I curse out that stupid programer every time a create a new e-mail! Man O Man! No wonder there's so many names to impugn a Stupid person ... Asinine, Dumb, Dense, Dull, Slow, Obtuse but their just unintelligent. But a person with Stupid Stupidity is TOTALLY Brain Dead! Well, I did it again and went off the subject, carried away with mindless gibberish. O.K. You still with me?
    On the right side of the 'FROM:' box is that infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' option that you want to use. Click the check box next to, on the left so doesn't disappear! Now you can choose whichever E-Mail Server you want to send e-mail from. But before you click the OK button I have a suggestion. Uncheck the 'Cc:' box under 'TO:' then check the 'Bcc:' box. I explain ... The 'Cc:' means Carbon Copy and the e-mail address use here will receive a Copy the the e-mail. But everybody that gets this e-mail WILL know the e-mail address of everybody else that got this e-mail! Does that make any since? Plus Spammers can collect these e-mail address way to easy! It's a long story to explain how quickly this can be done. Now the 'Bcc:' means 'Blind Carbon Copy' and it works just like 'Cc:', but there's ONE very important difference! Everybody that gets this e-mail is BLIND to the e-mail address of everybody else that got this e-mail! Plus Spammers are BLIND about these e-mail address as well, TOTALY impossible to collect! PERIOD! And you probably know this by now, but you can use the the 'Reply-To Address Field' to have replies sent to an email address that is different from the email address you’re using to send the message. One last tip then I've got to go to bed! You can sent email without an email address in the 'TO:' box if you use 'Bcc:' with an email address! But this may not work because some Spammers don't use an email address in the 'TO:' box any more, so several 'E-Mail Servers' will block an email with blank 'TO:'
    WOW! Did I get carried away! This post is HUGE!
    I hope I covered everything and that Apple let's me post it!

  • Preview with light or shade editing function is not working (black or white picture)

    Hello!
    I have a problem with the preview function in iphoto (version 9.4.2 on a white macbook, mid 2007, os x lion, latest version, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD).
    Whenever I use the light or shade editing function, the picture in the preview is getting completely black or white. If I close the editing screen, the normal preview is working with the edited picture.
    I repaired the iphoto library, I tried to reinstall iphoto, I did a SMC reset but nothing worked. Yesterday, reinstalled my complete system and reinstalled iphoto but even this did not work.
    Has anybody an idea how to deal with this problem? Is there a kind of BIOS funktion to activate or to deactivate like graphics boost or something like that? It would be great if anyone has an idea because editing photos efficiently is hard with my problem.
    Thank you very much!

    On the contrary, or at least I think so. If I remember it correctly, you can simply go to the top menu bar and click 'Photo',  'Edit in',  'Edit in Adobe Photoshop'  and it will put your panorama in Photoshop so you can simply continue working on it. Hope it does the trick!

  • Iphoto batch edit keyboard command not working

    Using Lion 10.7 Iphoto 11 I find that the shift+cmd+B keyboard shortcut ( Batch Edit ) is no longer working on multiple or single photos.
    Help from anyone pls....
    Thx,

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
