Another "edit in photoshop" and keyboard shortcut question

I have both PSCS6 32 bit and 64 bit installed on my computer (usual default installation). When I next installed LR4, it automatically picked PSCS6 64 bit as the default external editor without asking my preference.
I always use PSCS6 32 bit and not the 64 bit version.
While I can add the PSCS6 32 bit program as an "additional external editor" and access it from a right click contextual menu for editing an image from LR4, I cannot use the convenient Ctrl + E keyboard shortcut since that will always launch the unwanted PSCS6 64 bit program.
Is there a way to reestablish this keyboard shortcut convenience for my 32 bit program?
Thanks in advance!

Scott,
There is a registry hack you could try:

That's for making PS show up when it doesn't show up at all, but there's a place to add the path to the executable that you could modify to point to the 32-bit version. You might want to do a checkpoint for System Restore before you start.

  • Photoshop scripts and keyboard shortcuts synchronization

    I use Photoshop CC in multiple computers and would like to find out if there is way to synchronize keyboard shortcuts and photoshop scripts across different computers. Is it possible to synch the scripts folder and keyboard shortcuts through Dropbox for instance?

    Have you tried the syncing capabilities in CC? I have not tried to sync across multiple computeres -- having only one -- but the capabilities to sync preferences and actions seem to be possible. However, I believe 'scripts' and 'actions' are not the same thing so I cannot comment on how this sync process deals with scripts.

  • 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?

  • Hot Corners and Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working

    When disconnecting from my 27" (that I use as a docking station with keyboard and mouse), in some cases my hot corners and keyboard shortcuts stop working.
    F11 does not show the desktop, Ctl-UpArrow does not show mission control. Ctr-left-right arrow does work, as i can still toggle between desktops.
    I know, lots of randomness here...
    A reboot fixes everything.

    I've go a Windows 7 system running CS5 and when I start Photoshop all my shortcuts are working but eventually really important ones like the brush tool sizing stop working. At the moment the only non-adobe/windows app running is iTunes and that have been running the whole time, turning iTunes off does not enable the stortcuts again.
    Has the only conclusion to this problem been to turn off other apps? This has been a problem for me since I upgraded to CS5 and its driving me a little mental !

  • How to disable right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?

    Hello All,
    We are currently working on an issue. We want to display a pdf to users but not allow them to save it. Though we are able to hide the menubar and toolbars, the Shortcuts F8, F9 and Ctrl+Shift+S is the undoing of all. The user can still use these shortcuts to enable toolbar and menubar. Can anyone suggest how to disable the right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?
    Thanks in Advance

    Impossible, and illogical. PDF files are not streamed or RAM-cached so if someone is viewing a file they must have already saved it.

  • Does the student teacher edition of photoshop and premiere elements 13 have to be renewed yearly?

    Does the student teacher edition of photoshop and premiere elements 13 have to be renewed yearly?

    that depends whether you were using the subscription cc version or the perpetual license version.
    if you can open, for example,  pse, click help and if you see activate/deactivate you have the perpetual license version and do not need to renew.  if you see sign in/sign out, you have the subscription version and will need to maintain your subscription to continue to use your cc program(s).

  • CS4 application focus and keyboard shortcuts

    Quick preface: I couldn't find anything on this issue, searching Google and the Adobe forums specifically, so I don't know if it's a general bug in CS4 or if it's specific to the installations we have here at work.  Also, this isn't specific to Indesign, but it seems to happen the most with Indesign, and I wasn't sure where else to post.
    Basically, Indesign in particular (though this also happens with Photoshop and Illustrator to an extent), seems to lose focus if I've clicked on a palette or if I have an object selected, such that I have to click on a blank area of the document in order to use any keyboard shortcut.  For example, if I've just applied a new swatch to an object, and that object is still selected, and I hit CTRL-S to save, nothing happens and I have to click a blank area of the document, and then hit CTRL-S. This may not seem like a big deal, but if I'm going to do that, I might as well click "File" and then "Save."  And this seems to happen with every keyboard shortcut I use.
    Is there anything in the preferences of the application that may be causing this, or is it just an annoying bug, or am I the only one? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    [edit] And I'm using WinXP Pro, SP3 on an Intel Core2Duo.

    Have you tried refreshing the preferences?

  • Secret dragging tricks and keyboard shortcuts - are these published anywhere?

    I have searched for some and stumbled upon others. But I have not seen any of these published or posted anywhere. If so, can you tell me? Either way, you may find some useful ones here. Enjoy! (I think most of these work in Lion. Any keyboard shortcuts you know for Time Machine would be most welcome.)
    *** THE DOCK ***
    Press ^F3 to move to the dock. Use the arrow keys to select an icon. You can also use autocomplete (type the first few letters of the icon's name). Then press Opt-arrow_key to move the *icon* among the other icons on the Dock. Thus you can change the order of the icons on the Dock using only the keyboard.
    *** DRAGGING TRICKS ***
    o SAVE-AS SHEET TRICK
    Open an app's Save As sheet. Drag a folder or its proxy icon to anywhere in the Save As sheet except the sidebar and that updates the directory (folder) field with that folder. Drag a file or its proxy icon to the Save As sheet (anywhere except the sidebar) and that updates both the directory (folder) and file fields accordingly.
    Why do I do this? I find it easier to use the actual Finder, or I may already have a Finder window in the right directory.
    You can also click on a directory or file in the Save As sheet to populate the directory or file fields, respectively. Then edit the filename to a slightly different name.
    o COPY A FOLDER TREE TO A TEXT DOCUMENT
    Open a true text-only editor session using an app like TextWrangler (not TextEdit!). Drag a folder (or its proxy icon) from the Finder into the editor window. Viola`! The names of the folder and all its subfolders and files are pasted into the text buffer in a properly indented form.
    o COPY A FILE TO A TEXT DOCUMENT
    Drag a file from the Finder into a text-only editor like TextWrangler or similar (not TextEdit!) and the _contents_ of the file (not its icon) are inserted into the document.
    o MAKE A NEW FILE THAT CONTAINS SELECTED TEXT
    Select some text. Drag it to a folder. This creates a "textClipping" file which contains the selected text. Opens as a "Finder document".
    o COPY A PHOTO FROM IPHOTO TO A FOLDER
    Open iPhoto. Drag (to copy) a photo to a folder. Makes a jpeg file of the photo in that folder.
    *** KEYBOARD TRICKS ***
    o MENUS AND LISTS
    Opt-U/D: Move highlight bar to top or bottom of most menus and lists. Does not work in Spotlight drop-down menu. Works in Snow Leopard Mac Mail (v 4.5, anyway) if you hold it down for a second: you get an error signal, but it works anyway.
    PgUp/PgDn | Home/End: Moves highlight bar to top or bottom of menus. Moves only the view for lists.
    Opt-Spacebar: Move highlight to the alphabetically first item in a menu (except in the Spotlight drop-down menu).
    o SPOTLIGHT DROP-DOWN MENU
    After selecting an item on the drop-down menu via the arrow keys:
    Cmd-Return: Open enclosing folder.
    o SPOTLIGHT WINDOW
    If ^F7 is set to "all controls", press ^F7 four times if it's the first search in a particular Spotlight window; two, otherwise. This moves you to the list of results.
    If ^F7 is set to "text boxes and lists only", just Tab.
    o CALENDAR WIDGET
    Home: go to the current year and month.
    Up, down, left, right arrows: go one year back, one year forward, one month back, one month forward. Hold a L or R arrow down to autorepeat through the years. (You can't do _that_ with the mouse!) Also works with U and D for the months.
    o SPELL CHECK
    Cmd-Shift-; - Open spelling pane. But you knew that one. Press ^F6 to get to the pane. Tab around to everything except Define and Guess. With the focus on the replacements list, use the arrow keys to select a replacement word from the list. (Press the spacebar to run the control with the highlight perimiter and press Return to run the control with the solid highlighting.)   
    o MAIL
    Cmd-I - Open Account Info window
    o NAVIGATING HELP PANES
    - Old-style help panes :
    Open the menu pane in the usual way. The Highlight perimeter will be on the search window.
    Tab: Move among the Search field, the page, and the controls on top. Add Shift to reverse.
    When on the page:
    Use the usual navigation keys -- Up, Down, Home, End, Page up, and Page Down, Spacebar, Shift-Spacebar -- to scroll through the page.
    Opt-Tab: move among the links on the page or items in a "Help Topics" list. The highlight perimeter will be rectangular. Press Return or Enter to click the selected link or item. Add Shift to reverse direction.
    Cmd-F: Open the Find bar. Move about with Tab. Move among the arrows with L or R arrow keys. To find a string: Type your search string in the Find field. Press Return or Enter. Press again to find the next occurrence, etc.
    To go to the page from the Find bar: Shift-Tab to the left or right arrow. Then press Shift-Tab two more times.
    To close the Find bar: Tab to Done and press the spacebar or just press Escape.
    You can return to the app via ^F6, but the help pane stays open.
    When the highlight perimeter is on one of the arrow controls, press Spacebar to click it. If the left arrow control is selected press the down arrow to see places going backward. If the right arrow control is selected press the Down arrow to see a list of places going forward. Either way, use the usual menu navigational shortcuts.
    When the highlight perimeter is on the Home control, press the down arrow to get a menu of apps. (The mouse way for this is to click and hold and "drag" and release as above.) The usual menu navigational shortcuts are valid. Also, you can press the spacebar to go Home.
    When the highlight perimeter is on the Gear button, press the spacebar or down arrow to get the drop-down menu. The usual menu navigational shortcuts are in effect. 
    (To do any of the above three with the mouse, click on the control and hold the mouse button down, then without releasing the mouse button, move the pointer to highlight the desired item on the menu and release the mouse button.)
    - New-style help panes:
    Open the menu pane in the usual way. The Highlight perimeter will be on the search window.
    Tab to move around to most things. The table of contents becomes keyboard-active one Tab-press past the Search field, at which point use the L and R arrow keys to navigate the Contents panel, and the U and D arrow keys to move the down and up the page.
    To be able to use PageUp and PageDn, Tab to the back/forward button, then press Shift-Opt-Tab.
    Cmd-F: Opens the Find bar. Navigate with Tab and L/R arrow keys. When you are on this bar, press Shift-Tab repeatedly until the highlight perimeter moves out. Then press Shift-Tab once more to go back to the page, where the L and R arrow keys move you around the TOC sidebar and the U and D arrow keys scroll the page.
    AFAIK, you can choose Get Started or Browse Help only with the mouse.
    You can return to the app via ^F6, but the help pane stays open.

    I guess you meant that unfortunately these don't have them.
    (1) I meant that, unfortunately for your impressive work, there's nothing in it that hasn't already been documented elsewhere. The two items I mentioned contain your shortcuts, and many more besides.
    I don't see any of them in either. I have Pogue's book and they're not there. In fact, I emailed these tricks to him and he was impressed with some of them. And of course there are more. I never claimed to have an exhaustive list. In fact, I doubt anyone has such a list.
    (2) Mac OS X v10.6 has been out for, what is it, 3 years? If you think that there are any 'secret' shortcuts left, then you seriously underestimate the average Mac user. Some of that stuff is even older. For instance, the "Save-As Sheet Trick" dates back to Jaguar, or even before that. "Make a New File That Contains Selected Text" is older than Mac OS X itself!
    Well, first of all there's no need to get hostile.
    I don't underestimate the average Mac user. But I would venture to guess that most are heavily mouse oriented and would not even be interested in the keyboard tricks I posted. And I only said that I haven't seen them on any website, not that no one else in the world knows about them.
    Additionally, there have been things missed by the smartest of people. Stereo vision was missed even by Issac Newton, one of the biggest geniuses to grace the planet! It was Wheatstone who first picked up on it. And it used to be thought that a cube flying by at relatvisitic speed would appear foreshortened in the direction of motion. In fact, as was noted decades after relativity was published, it in fact appears rotated. If super smart people could miss this, then perhaps those few who publish these tricks may not know about them.
    Re the save-as trick and the new-file-contains-your-text tricks: fine, they're old, but so are many of the tricks that are posted on websites. So why some old ones but not others? How about cut and paste? I bet they're pretty old but that doesn't prevent people from posting them, as in your first reference!
    (3) Also unfortunately, your listing mixes up shortcuts and 'tricks' of different categories. For instance, "Copy a File to a Text Document" is not secret, it is not a trick, and it is not relevant. What an app does with a file dropped onto an open document of its own does not depend on the system, but on the app and how it was programmed. TextEdit inserts a text file's path while TextWrangler inserts the text file's contents not because the former is not a text editor, but because that's how each was designed to work. And TextWrangler's behaviour is documented in the accompanying manual.
    So one of my tricks is lame. I don't see that as that big a deal.
    Bottom line: I don't see any of them in the docs you referenced.

  • Photoshop CS6 keyboard shortcuts in PSE 12

    Has the structure of the .kys file changed in CS6?  I used to be able to use the keyboard shortcuts from CS5 with my wife's laptop.  We recently went to CS6 on my desktop and PSE 12 on her laptop, and now the keyboard shortcuts that I try to copy from CS6 to PSE not only don't work, but are deleted by PSE as it exits.  I've put an old keyboard shortcuts.psp file that I had from CS5, and it works fine and doesn't get deleted.
    If my conclusion that the shortcuts are different and incompatible is correct, is there any workaround?
    I'm using Windows 7.  Thanks!

    It looks like the shortcuts from cs6 won't work in pse 12 and they don't work in photoshop cs5 either, so adobe must have changed something.
    Anyway, it's probably best to use the keyboard shortcuts from photoshop cs5, since pse 12 is mostly based on the photoshop cs5 code.
    This the message one gets in photoshop cs5 when trying to load a keyboard shortcuts file saved out of photoshop cs6.

  • LCD color profile and Keyboard shortcuts gets screwed up

    My macbook pro is connected to a Dell flat panel to extend the desktop. Recently, and inconsistently, the color profile of my MBP's LCD will get screwed up when I exit from the Screensaver - the external display looks right. Just clicking on display in system preferences immediately corrects the color. But I would like to fix it from not happening every now and then.
    Another problem I notice pretty much in the same sporadic way is that my keyboard shortcuts (F9 to F12) for dashboard and expose gets reset to none - I am not sure if they are even related as of now (can't reproduce it at will)
    Has anyone experienced something like this? Any potential solutions?
    Thanks!

  • Another Edit in Photoshop bug

    When I highlight an image and select "Edit in Photoshop" the image opens in Photoshop just fine.
    The problem arrises when I am finished editing and click "Save" in photoshop. The edited image does not appear in my Lightroom Library. Instead, I only see the original image. The really quirky thing is that the original now has bars on each side of it indicating a stack and the little white square appears at the top left displaying "1 of 2". If you hover over it with the mouse a pop-up says "This image is part of a stack" But if you double click it or choose "Expand stack" it still only shows the one image.
    What gives? Both 2.0 & 2.1 have this issue. I never experienced this in 1.X so the bug is new.

    Jao,
    Nope. Everything is just as it was when I used LR 1.X together with CS3. I upgraded to LR 2.0 and CS4 about the same time so it could be an issue with either but I suspect it is in LR.
    Here is another quirk I just discovered...
    If I double click on the white square indicating the number of photos in the stack, both images (the PS edited & the original) show up in LRs compare view on my second monitor. The edited image still does not show in my Library screen even though it's on the second monitor in compare view. Strange.

  • Editing in Photoshop and Keeping Layers in Lightroom

    I just switched to Lightroom and my workflow has slowed to a crawl, but in a week or two I hope to be moving along again.
    From Lightroom I exported a file to be edited in Photoshop.  I saved it as a PSD with layers.  Later I sent it back to Photoshop, but it was flattened.  I did this regularly in Aperture and all the layers were retained so I'm sure Lightroom can do it.  What did I miss here?

    Thanks Jim, it is a more of a challenge than I expected trying to get my head around all of this and still keep the workflow going.  My question was based on one experience so perhaps there were some things I overlooked.  Essentially you answered my question though and I'm glad to know it is possible so, back to work.

  • Photoshop CC - keyboard shortcut unit increments

    Hi everyone. InDesign and Illustrator both have the options in their preferences to set unit increments that relate to altering type attributes such as font size, kerning, tracking, leading with keyboard shortcuts. For instance I like to be able to adjust tracking by 1/1000 em, leading by 1pt etc.
    However, I can't find any way to set Photoshop up to do a similar thing. It defaults to 20/1000 em tracking increment. Anybody know a way to change that I don't?
    Cheers

    Have you tried a different keyboard to exclude a defective Option key?
    How did you delete the Photoshop preferences.  If you did that manually (very bad idea) try it the proper way:
    Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
