Problems integrating Lightroom 4.2 and Elements 10.

I have installed Lightroom 4.2 and Elements 10.  Although I have installed it so that Elements 10 shows up in the Edit Photo menu, when I click on that it does not copy or load the photo I have edited in Lightroom into Elements. There is just an empty Elements 10 screen except that there is a dialogue box showing some of my Nik software plugins. The dialogue box does not work.  I had the edit photo in Elements 10 working in Lightroom 4.0 before I installed the upgrade. to Lightroom 4.2.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ensure you are linking to the Editor application in Lightroom preferences. A common mistake is to choose the Adobe Photoshop Elements shortcut. On Mac OSX it's in Support files.

  • Exposure problem with Lightroom 4 CS5 and Raw 6.7

    Hi all
    I have recently upgraded from Lightroom 3.6 to the new Lightroom 4 and am genrally pretty happy with it, I tend to use it along with photoshop CS5 extended and also imagenomic Portraiture, but I have found an annoying little problem in doing this and something that I never suffered with when using Lightroom 3.6 and it is this...
    when I take an image from Lightroom 4 and click Edit image in Photoshop CS5 and then use Imageonmic to soften skin etc all seems to work well I then carry out any touching up within Photoshop and once finished save it back to lightroom for any final tweaks etc which is fine and all works smoothly, except once I have saved it back to Lightroom the exposure has been pushed up about 3-4 stops at least , meaning I then have to pull it down again and this can sometimes result in extra editing I could do with out. now I know its not the end of the world and is probably just a bug that I'm hoping will be sorted within Lightroom 4 but I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? (although I'm doing the same with Lighroom 4 as i used to do with LIghtroom 3.6 and that worked fine)
    Oh one more thing I should mention to get lightroom 4 and CS5 to work properly together I had to go into the Adobe Labs site and download the Camera RAW 6.7 software for CS5 so it could also be a bug here i guess.

    There have been several posts over on the Lightroom forum, and other non-Adobe forums also, about this issue: it seems that there's a bug in ACR 6.7RC which causes the image to be over-expose, compared with the setting applied using PV2012 in LR. I guess this is the kind of thing a Release Candidate is supposed to flag up! I was all set to upgrade my own ACR to ensure that PS would recognise my LR4 edits (I normally avoid RC versions and wait for the final), but all the reports of this problem have stopped me from doing so.
    In the meantime, best option so far as I'm aware is to process the image in LR (you get the option when you choose to edit in PS), meaning that it does all the rendering before passing it over to PS (otherwise, ACR handles the conversion of the raw file into TIFF). This does however mean that smart-objects and so on are temporarily out of the equation.
    I'm sure this will all be resolved pretty soon.
    Edit: in fact, one of the posts I mentioned is about ten posts down in this very forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/974963?tstart=0

  • Problems with Lightroom 5.2 and Olympus EM-1 RAW files?

    There have been reports on DPREVIEW of color problems using Lightroom 5.2 with RAW files from the Olympus OM-D EM-1 camera.  This causes  difficulty creating camera profiles, and creates a red shift in Images.  JPG images are unaffected.
    Anyone else seeing this?
    When may we look forward to LR 5.3, hopefully with a fix?
    Thanks............... Jack Winberg

    The read me file from Adobe indicate that LR 5.2 has "preliminary" support for the Olympus EM-1 raw files.
    I would make sure you keep your original raw files so they can be converted when the support is finalized. i.e. I would not convert to dng on import if that is your normal workflow.

  • Keywording problem in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4

    I'm experiencing a problem with keywording in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4. When i export a batch of photos that were keyworded in LR to the desk top then open a photo in PS I  find only one keyword when I look through the "file info" menu item.  Any ideas on how I might resolve this problem or what I may be doing wrong.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Make sure that you have the keywords setup so that they will export. You can check by right clicking on a keyword in the Keyword List panel and choosing Edit Keyword Tag. The dialog shown below should open and should see a checkmark against Include on Export and Export Containing Keywords. It's fairly easy to get this wrong when working with hierarchical keywords.
    Also, you can configure the Keywording panel so that it shows which keywords will be assigned when image is exported.

  • Lightroom  4.2 and Elements 11 - 'edit in' not working

    I have just installed Elements 11 and find that although that program pops up when the 'edit in' is employed, no image is transferred from Lightroom.  Is there a fix for this?

    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?

  • Problems with Lightroom 5.2 and Photoshop CS5. Please help!

    I recently bought Lightroom 5; and now edit my raws initially in Lightroom. Once edited I export them as JPGs. Then I usually also open them as the JPGs in Photoshop CS5. Once opened there is noticeably more grain in each photo which is creating havoc with my processing. Much appreciated if anybody can help. I have updated Lightroom to 5.2, and have re-installed Photoshop CS5, with no sucess.

    The read me file from Adobe indicate that LR 5.2 has "preliminary" support for the Olympus EM-1 raw files.
    I would make sure you keep your original raw files so they can be converted when the support is finalized. i.e. I would not convert to dng on import if that is your normal workflow.

  • Integration between Lightroom 4.2 and PS Elements 11.0

    I am using Lightroom 4.2 and PS Elements 11.0. Clicking "Edit in" in LR  when I have selected at least two photos, I get as bottom menu item "Open as layers in Photoshop...". When selecting this item PS Elem. nicely starts up but after waiting for a while no layers are created. Same applies to the HDR and Panorama options. The only LR menu item working is the one moving to the PS Elem editor sec. After carrying out editing of the file(s) in PS Elem and saving (as) there is only the option to include the edited file in the PS Elem catalog (while the version set option is "greyed out"). In the normal Photoshop (CS versions) the edited file is nicely included in the LR catalog. I now have to follow a cumbersome route by importing the file from within LR. Another issue is when 16 bit files are loaded into Elements; there is no warning that layers can only be generated/worked on  in 8 bit mode.
    Yet another, small LR issue, is that when in library mode moving from the center thumbnail grid/pane to the left Navigator, etc and right Histogram, etc. panes, the cursor changes into a double headed arrow passing the separation line and but does not turn back into the cursor (mode). Only moving fast through the separation line or "going over the top" passing along the top menu items helps
    Obviously anyone with some suggestion as how to solve/circumvent the issues above?
    Message was edited by: doctorspek

    Photoshop Elements does not support layes with 16-bit files. Additionally, there is no HDR function in Photoshop Elements. You should be getting an error letting you know this is the case when you try from Lightroom.
    These menu options are designed to be used with Photoshop, not Photoshop Elements and would normally be greyed out. Have you had a version of Photoshop install previously? When looking at the Edit In menu, what does it say at the top? Does it say "Open in Adobe Photoshop Elements..."?
    Saving the file should automatically import it into Lightroom, even if you use the option to add it to the Elements Organizer as well.
    As for the cursor not changing back to normal after crossing over the panel dividing line (which allows you to grow or shrink the panels) is rather curious.
    All of these issues could be caused by corrupt settings files. Deleting these while the applications are closed will cause them to be recreated at next launch (with default settings). I would suggest doing this will all Adobe preferences (not just PSE and LR). Where they are stored depends on what OS you are working on.

  • Troubleshoot- Lightroom and Elements integration

    When I export a file from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop Elements 11 to edit. I make my edits, then click "Save." For some reason it opens the "Save-As" dialog box. How can I fix this so that I only click "Save" and then let the file return to Lightroom?

    If I have made changes in the editor, I can choose 'Save' (Ctrl S) and I am asked to confirm overwriting.
    Edit:
    If you have done no edits and escape, you return to LR and find the tiff (or psd) file stacked with your original image; no need to save, it has already been saved before sending to PSE.
    If you want another way to send files to PSE without creating an intermediate tiff/psd file, have a look at Daw Matt's plugin : TPG elemental.

  • Problem with "Edit in Photoshop" and Lightroom 2.1 failing to import new file

    I am a new user to Lightroom, so I won't be surprised if the problem is at the dull end of the keyboard...
    I am working with Lightroom 2.1 (still in my 30-day free trial), Photoshop CS3 with ACR 4.6, on Windows XP (fully updated). My image files are mostly .cr2 files (canon raw).
    When I "edit with photoshop" in Lightroom, it fires up Photoshop and brings the file up for edit as expected. Photoshop shows the file name as something like _MG_2326.CR2, as (I presume) expected. When I'm done editing in Photoshop, and I save the file, Lightroom brings up a message "The file could not be imported because it could not be read." and "It may be an incompatible format." on a second line.
    If I synchronize the folder in Lightroom it picks up the save file without issue (though its not automatically stacked with the original).
    I have tried messing around with the different options in the preferences "external editing" tab -- file format, color space and bit depth (I can't imagine resolution would matter). No joy there.
    I have also tried setting photoshop up as the additional external editor and if I do that it works correctly. However, in this case, it makes a copy of the file before opening photoshop which slows things down a little.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen before? Any solutions or work-arounds?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I'm back trying to sort this problem out (got distracted for a couple of days by trying to get my monitor calibrated).
    Rearranging the folder structure didn't help. But I now have a better organized catalog, so that's ok :)
    What I did find is that if I import files into lightroom using the "file/import photos from device", then I can edit them normally afterwards (that is, when I save the file in photoshop cs3, the new file gets picked up correctly by lightroom and gets correctly stacked with the original). This is true even if the new files get added into the same directory structure that I'm having troubles with.
    So it looks like the directory structure is a red herring. It looks like the problem is in the catalog, with the way that lightroom originally imported my files. I created my original catalog by allowing lightroom to read my elements 6 catalog.
    It seems that I have this edit problem with all catalog entries that were imported from elements 6, but I don't have any problem with catalog entries that lightroom brings in directly (either through "import photos from device" or by adding a new folder to the lightroom catalog).
    So right now it looks like there is a problem with the elements catalog conversion.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen? Any suggestions for getting around it?

  • I got a new MacBook pro and want to install my lightroom and elements 11.

    I uninstalled both programs on my old computer and this computer were set to factory setting and sold.
    When I try to install on my new computer - after informing my serial numbers, I get the answer, that this number is not correct. II of course checked again, and the typed numbers are correct. The same as mentioned on you webside under my file.

    Hi,
    thanks for mail. I now tried again to activate lightroom by copying the serial number on Adobe webside/my account. Unfortunately same result: I got the following message:
    The serial number is invalid. Please try again: if the problem persist, please contact customer support.
    Unfortunately the could or would not help - only referred to this chat page.
    I have serial numbers for both version 4 and 5 and of course downloaded the latest, which is version 5.

    Hi Kaj,
         firstly this is a user to user forum so it's not our website, nevertheless I'm sure we can help you.
    Firstly, are the serial numbers you're using for the same version of Lightroom?
    If they are, then I'd suggest copying the serial numbers straight from your profile on the Adobe website to the Lightroom screen rather than retyping.  It's easy to mistype even when you're sure you're not (we've had several such instances in the past).
    Can you five us the exact wording of the error message (or a screen grab as long as it doesn't reveal the serial numbers as this a public forum)?

  • Nikon D7000 and Lightroom and Elements

    I just purchased a Nikon D7000 and cannot open RAW images in Lightroom 2 or Elements 7.  I have been using these 2 programs successfully with images from my Nikon D70s.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    You need Lightroom 3.3 or Elements 9 to process Nikon D7000 raw photos.
    An alternative is to download the DNG Converter (version 6.3) and convert your D7000 .NEF files to DNG, in which case your versions of Elements and Lightroom will be able to process the DNG photos.

    1) You dont absolutely need LR if you have Elements, but many find that having both speeds their workflow and results in better images.
    2)  Lightroom brings several features to the table not found in Elements.  LR includes a database (Library) module that enables faster, more comprehensive searches for photos on your computer.  If you shoot raw, LR offers a superior user interface.  Processing several images with similar needs simultaneously is easier in LR.
    3) There are no disadvantages to having both programs.  You can have both and use one or the other, as I sometimes do. Each has their own niches, and there is a  large overlap of function.   LR is a sufficient tool for many photos and tasks.  For those,  it is faster and easier to use than Elements.  Elements has a true pixel editor so can do more sophisticated enhancements to an image.  Actually, the most powerful combination of software is LR and Photoshop, but Elements is a decent approximation to PS's if you don't need 16-bit images. 
    4)  LR 4 had teething problems, but everyone that I personally know using LR 4 is satisfied with the current LR 4.1.  There is mostly agreement that LR 4.1 is a bit slower than LR 3.6, but I would not avoid LR 4 for fear of it having "problems."    I've not heard of any  conflict between Elements and LR 4.1.  There are still issues reported on this and other forums, but I suspect they affect a small and diminishing number of users, and may be not much different from other imaging applications
    5) Nothing done in LR needs to be redone in Elements. After converting and adjusting in LR, you would pass an image on to Elements for further enhancements if needed.    LR does not do layers, compositing, and other pixel editing techniques--that's exclusively the Photoshop / Elements domain.  Normally, raw conversion and basic image adjustments (and a bit more) is done in LR.  When the image is transferred to Elements as a tiff or jpeg it is exactly as it left LR. 
    Hope that is helpful.
