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

CS 5 won't open images from Lightroom 3

Hi,
I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3, and I've been using Lightroom 3 since it came out. The installation went fine. After working on some images in Lightroom 3.3, I tried to open them in CS5 12.02, and strange things started to happen. Some times the images open, some times they don't. This applies to NEFs, TIFFs, and PSDs. Sometimes when I try to open an image from my Lightroom catalog, CS5 mysteriously opens small jpegs of photos that are not even in my catalog. In fact, they are images I don't even recognize and did not even know were on my computer.
I called Adobe Customer Support. They were helpful, and they had me set CS5 as my external editor as well as being the primary editor. They also helped me reset my preferences for both Lightroom and CS5. This seemed to work, but when I opened Lightroom and CS5 the next day, the problem started happening again, even when I open images in CS5 using the second external editor.
I spent over and hour on the phone with Customer Support the first time, and I'm trying to get help elsewhere before I call again.
I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8 with 4 GB of RAM.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

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.
I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Transfer from lightroom to photoshop with edits to image from lightroom

My images in lightroom are not keeping thier edits that have been made to them when they are exported to photoshop......how do i fix this?

If you're using the Export option under your File menu, you are exporting out of LR and it will no longer track the images.
In order to have LR add your new PSD or TIFF file from Photoshop to your catalog, you have to open it through LR.
Easiest way is to right click the file you want to retouch and select "Edit in Photoshop." LR will create a new .TIFF or .PSD and append the filename with -Edit.
You can set your preference of file type under Lightroom>Preferences>External Editing.
You can also enable "Stack with Original" (my personal preference)

Photoshop won't open file from finder or iPhoto

I just installed Tiger and did a software up date so I'm totally up-to-date. My problem is that when I double click on a jpg in the finder or iPhoto Photoshop launches (if it's not already open) but it won't load the file. I've gone into the Get Info window and told the JPG to open with PS but that did nothing. The same with iPhoto, I've told it to open the file for editing in PS but it just opens PS and sits there, no file opened. I seem to remember this happening with a co-workers machine when he updated to Tiger and he says I fixed it but I can't for the life of me remember how I fixed the problem.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

If you did an update install you are missing this:
"/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types"
If you still have your Previous System folder around just copy the ScriptingAdditions folder and its one file into your new root Library folder. If you disposed of it you download the "AdobeUnitTypes" file from HERE. Unzip, create the folder and put the file in it.
Or you can always reinstall Photoshop....

Photoshop won't open photos from Mac photo app

I'm just trying to open some of my photos into photoshop to do some editing. When I click "open" then try to go to the photos which are in the Apple Photo app, photoshop doesn't recognize them. That's the only location the photos are in. Someone help?!

Good day!
What do you mean by
the photos which are in the Apple Photo app
Do the images not exist as files of their own in a format like tif, jpg, psd, …?

Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

PS won't open image from Bridge

If I double click on any psd file or select "Open with Adobe Photoshop CS5" in Bridge, it will start up Photoshop but it just sits there without opening the file.
I've checked the file associations and everything looks good. It seems to know that it needs to open Photoshop but Photoshop doesn't seem to know to open the file. Running OSX 10.6.4 on a MacPro with 6GB RAM, PS Ver. 12.0.1.
Any help will be appreciated.

Further clarification on this problem:
Double-clicking on a *.psd filename in Finder starts up Photoshop CS5 but does not open the file.
I have ensured that all *.psd files are opened with "Adobe Photoshop CS5.app" in the Mac Spotlight utility.
Not sure if this is related but Photoshop does not display any Preview images for *.psd files in it's Open->File dialog. Bridge, on the other hand, does.
So, the problem does not appear to be with Bridge. It seems to be something related to Photoshop itself or some other configuration issue?

What fix do you recommend?

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?
