Photoshop CS-6 does not open images from Lightroom 5

I do have Photoshop CS-6 and Lightroom 5.  Nearly all images were created in a Windows 7 (64 bit) environment.  I have moved platforms to MAC. I have moved all images and the Catalog. I have changed platform to MAC. I am now using MAC OS-X (10.9.1).
I am able to see all images in Lightroom, I am able to modify all images in Lightroom. I can export the images to Jpeg (for example) from Lightroom.  I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
First time I have tried to open an Image from Lightroom (hand over) Photoshop opens, but does not show any picture and no error message. But when I then look to recently opened files, the image is in the list. When I do click on this, Photoshop shows and error message: "the datamodule can not handle the file format" (which is either RAW or jpeg).
Another expirience is, when I try to open directly from Photoshop any other image, Photoshop ignores the XMP and opens the original file without any modification.

That's normal if the raw files were originally edited in Lightroom. Lightroom stores all edits in the catalog, not the xmp sidecar. You can set Lightroom to write to xmp as well, but that slows it down a little and so it's off by default. The Lightroom shortcut ctrl/cmd+S will also save to xmp.

That's related to the above, and also normal if you go the other way - edit in ACR and then move to Lightroom. It'll then be in xmp, but not the Lightroom catalog.
As for the missing on-screen image, that's a common video driver bug (although I suppose other causes are possible). For Windows you can download updated drivers directly from the manufacturer's website, but that's not possible with Mac. You'll have to wait for Apple to fix it.

  • Photoshop cc 2014 will not open images from Lightroom

    I have just upgraded Photoshop and Lightroom through the creative cloud,and now when i take an image from Lightroom to Photoshop,Photoshop opens but the image does not appear.I have Photoshop cc 2014 as the default editor.I am able to open the image in any of the plug ins i have installed e.g Topaz Labs.

    This has been reported quite a lot lately.  SSprengel, have you actually seen an uninstall and reinstall correct the link between Lightroom and Photoshop CC (2014)?  If so, I'll start advising people to do so.  I hadn't run across anyone claiming to have discovered a solution to the problem yet.

  • Photoshop CS3 lauches but does not open files from Lightroom 2.7

    These programs have been on my computer since the dawn of time and have always worked. Now all of a sudden I can't open files from LR into PS. PS launches, but the files don't open. I get that message Photoshop could not be lauched, which is ironic since the program is now open.
    I haven't done anything to the programs so it makes no sense. IN the past I have had issues with PS and the tech had me create a new login on my computer and it fixed things. Tried that. No help.
    Does anyone ahve any suggestions. I have repaired both programs to no avail.
    Thanks for you help.

    Something has gone wrong with how Lightroom finds and communicates with Photoshop.
    That could be a registry string, or some preference within Lightroom.
    The Lightroom forum is more likely to be able to help you solve this.

  • Open button does not open image in photoshop?

    Am I doing something wrong?
    If I edit a CR2 file in Camera Raw 5.1, and the select the open button it does not open the image in Photoshop CS4. Is it not suppose too?
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks in advance
    CoolPix

    I saved the old version, just in case I had problems. So I removed the original version, and replaced it with v5.1
    I did not try to open the file with Photoshop.
    1. Opened bridge and viewed photos
    2. Right click in bridge, and selected open with ACR
    3. When Camera Raw opened, I edited photo and selected "open"
    4. Photoshop opens, but with NO edited photo.
    Now I have made a association in the download folder to open with Photoshop, which opens ACR first, then after editing it now works when I select open it opens in Photoshop.
    If you read my last post, my quetion is "why does it not open from my method I used originally in Bridge?
    I hope this is clear enough.

  • Photoshop won't open image from lightroom

    When I try to export an image from Lightroom to Photoshop (CC) Photoshop opens, but the image doesn't.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

  • Clicking on thumbnail in iPhoto does not open image for editing/viewing.

    Clicking on images in iPhoto 7 does not open large images for editing or viewing. No ? or ! shows, just blank white screen with all buttons active as if the image is ready for editing. iPhoto library is about 50GB. What I've tried: created new library and imported 20 photos, rebuilt library w/keys using last 3 items in list, rebuilt library using iPhoto Library Manager. Quit everything, repaired permissions via Disk Utility. Nothing has worked. Was working fine a few days ago with same camera, same settings, etc. Utterly baffling, would love other suggestions?

  • Photoshop 5.1 does not open up after upgrading to Yosemite on a 2009 mac book pro

    Adobe Photoshop 5.1 does not work after installing upgrade Yosemite.  I have a mac book Pro - 2009

    Have seen CS3 (I have) mentioned as working with Maverick/Yosemite
    Current Photoshop is creative cloud - you do not have to purchase all elements - instead of lump sum, Adobe charges a monthly license fee - the software resides on your mac - and the mac has to check in once a month to keep the license going - updates are part of the deal.
    CS6 apparently is still available if you want to pay the lump sum for an upgrade.

  • Firefox does not open links from third party applications correctly

    Hello,
    I have problem with my Firefox Developer Edition. The browser does not open links correctly. If I click on some link e.g. in Thunderbird Firefox open only blank (default) window. No target of given link. Has anyone an idea how to solve this issue?
    Thank you

    Have a look and see if SPDY is enabled. Enter about:config in the address window and spdy in the search window. If "network.http.spdy.enabled" is true, double click on the entry to disable it.

  • Opening image from lightroom

    When I open an image from lightroom as an edit copy it's profile is a psd file. PROPHOTO RGB. Should I convert to adobe RGB or use the PROPHOTO RGB profile? After edit in ps2 should it be saved as adobe rgb to be imported back to lightroom? Thanks, Owen

    It depends on the use to which you intend to put the PSD file. If you're preparing for print, and that process can support PRo Photo space, I'd use that. Otherwise aRGB.

  • Photoshop / Bridge CS6 does not open the selected image thumbnails.

    Hello,
    When I open an image with the "Open Camera Raw" in Adobe Bridge CS6, I get the error:
    "Bridge's parent apllication is not active.
      Bridge requires que qualifiying the product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
    My OS is Windows Vista with all automatic updates.
    Grateful for any help.

    When you remove the obvious,
    that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
    Short version:
    When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
    Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
    One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
    ie.
    if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
    X
    Y
    all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
    vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
    After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
    Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
    But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
    AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
    But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
    Best,
    Jim

  • I have trial versions of Lightroom and Elements 11. "Edit in Photoshop.." does not open the image

    Using trial versions of Lightroom and Elements 11, th ecommand to "Edit in Photoshop Elements 11" succeeds in opening Photoshop but fails to open the image. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem with PS Elements 13 trial version (fully updated), but sadly this solution doesn't work... there is no 'Support Files' folder, and nothing called 'Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app' anywhere else.
    Any thoughts?

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended will not open file from Bridge.

    This is 2nd time this has occurred.  Last time I uninstalled CS4 and re-installed to fix it.  Prefer to not do that again.
    System: XP Media center, SP3,  3 GB memory, Athlon 64x2.  Generic - motherboard graphic card.  18 GB disk space remaining.
    Typical work flow is edit DNG files in Lightroom.  Once done, select DNG files in Bridge and under Tools run the Photoshop Image Processor which changes color profiles, sharpens and converts to JPEG and saves.  Done this probably a thoudand times.  Ran a batch Sunday afternoon fine.
    I may have interrupted an Image Processor batch that was just starting and glitched something.
    Now Bridge will open Photoshop but nothing gets imported with the Image Processor.  Also Bridge will not run a Batch.  Bridge will open Adobe Raw for editing a DNG but cannot load it into Photoshop.
    Once I try any of these things, Photoshop will usually not close/exit and many menu items are shaded out.  For example, opening a file or starting a new file is not available.  Activate/Deactivate not accessible.  Can Deactivate and Activate through InDesign. Photoshop seems OK otherwise if re-started after re-boot.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    So far, no good.  Here is what I have done and current symptoms.
    1) I backed up all the settings and workspace files, then deleted them.  No change.
    2) No matter what I do, everytime I hold down the control, alt and delete keys when starting PS CS4 all I get is the Windows start settings "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Properties" box where you can select "Target" and "Start In" paths.  I do not get any dialog or confirmation to reset anything.
    3) Bridge successfully reset preferences using the Control key while starting it up.
    Everything about Bridge has appeared to function corectly before and after these changes.  But when the Tools/Image Processor or Batch is called, it starts Photoshop OK but nothing in imported to be processed.
    Photoshop opens (either from import or stand alone start) with menus partially functioning.  Under the file tab, nothign important works.  Cannot open a file, cannnot start a file, cannot exit - all grayed out.  But keyboard shortcuts do work and I can open a file or start a new file using the shortcuts.  Once I get a file open with the keyboard shortcut, most of the menu functions come back under the file tab and can be used and can exit PS.  The "X" in the upper right corner to close the program still remains greyed out and not functional.  The Activate/Deactivate options under Help remain grayed out.
    4) I deactivated the Suite from within InDesign and the I uninstalled only PS using the Windows uninstall utility.  I reinstalled PS from the CS4 Suite which of course reinstalled Bridge and some other utilities.  I reactivated from within InDesign and ran all updates from within InDesign since updates were still grayed out in PS. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.)
    Problems still exist as described.
    5) Finally I deactivated again from within InDesign and re-installed the whole CS4 Suite without uninstalling anything before hand. I noticed that process did an uninstall before each module was re-installed.
    Problems still exist as described above.  I did notice that Photoshop showed itself still Activated (but grayed out) in the help menu even though I had previously deactivated the suite before the re-install.  Ran complete Updates from within Bridge.  Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.) but continued on. Everything else updated OK.
    I looked through the registry settings for the settings path as noted in referenced forum links and all looked correct.
    Additional Notes:  I installed the OnOne Plugin Suite 4 a few weeks ago.  Everything has run smothly since then until this problem poped up.  After the Uninstall/reinstall the OnOne menu option appears as normal.  As do my old Nik plug ins.  I doubt this has anything to do with the issue.
    Any more ideas outside of starting all over on a clean drive/machine which I really dread even contemplating?
    Thank you.

  • Photoshop CS6 suddenly does not open a tif-file

    ... which I just created in the same Photoshop CS6 half an hour ago. The error message when opening says: "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil diese Datei nicht mit dieser Version von Photoshop kompatibel ist." (could not open because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop). The tif-file has more than 10 layers and is about 150 MB big. There was absolutely no error while saving the file in the first place. I already tried opening in 64 and in 32 bit version.
    How can this be and how can I get back or repair my file?
    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    Try opening it in another program like CorelDraw or a simple image viewer like IrfanView.

  • Bridge does not open images in PS CC (or give an option), Instead it opens in PS CS6

    Also, I can't set PS CC as a default using Windows 8. PS CC does not show on the list when choosing defaults for file types, etc. When in bridge, images open in PS CS6 and it does not have PS CC available as a choice when I right click and click "open with" (open with is not on the menu anymore.)

    I am having the same problem. I've made sure I have Bridge CC open and when I try and open an image, the default is PS CS6, how do I change the default setting to be PS CC? Totally frustrating.

  • Problem uninstalling Photoshop CC & opening images from Lightroom

    I have installed Photoshop CC 2014 on my Windows 7 64 bit PC and want to uninstall the previous CC version.  However, when I try to uninstall I get the attached message. I have followed all the instructions and still keep getting this message.  I have run the Cleaning Tool but it doesn't list the CC version only the 2014 under Creative Cloud. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I don't need 3 versions of PS on my PC.
    My second problem is that when I click on Edit in Photoshop CC 2014, in Lightroom 5.5, it opens Photoshop but the image doesn't appear.  It was working initially but for some reason has stopped working.

    Im running on the latest version of osx and having the exact same problem with opening files in photoshop cc 2014 from Lightroom. Would be great if someone had a fix for this.
