Auto Label and or Automoving LR files to Subfolder when Editing in Photoshop

LR is great, but after using it for a while i miss a few things very much indeed and other colleagues back me up on this.
It would be great to give the user an option to add a label to a photo when editing in Photoshop or other external application
And also give the user an option to make a standard subfolder for the edited file.
"Example"
I import all raw files into a dated folder ex. 2007-09-20.
Then i rate the files i like and filter them.
Then i do the raw editing and then i finally open them into photoshop CS3.
Here it would be great that the edited file automatically gets a yellow label and/or is put into a subfolder of 2007-09-20. This subfolder i typically would name FINAL.
I know this would be troublesome due to the Stacking feature in LR, which is nice but i don't use it. So my requested features should only be enabled if i choose not to Stack my files.

That's how it goes.

  • File Size Reduction When Editing in Photoshop

    When using Smart Objects my DNG file sizes increase from 9mb to over 100mb after a few adjustments.
    I found that I can reduce the file size greatly, for example back to 9mb, by reducing the Image Size to, for example 300 x 400 pixels, without flattening.
    Then I can save the file. The next time I want to work on it, I can open it, change the image size back to the original, for example, 2592 x 3872, and have all of my adjustments and filters available to make further changes.
    Although, I cannot see any difference in quality, I am new to this, and I am concerned that I am not skilled enough to see the difference.
    It would be very beneficial to store 9mb files instead of 100mb files and still have the same quality available, when needed.
    Please tell me if I am missing something here.

    Jeff,
    With your guidance, I did an experiment. I made a Curves Layer and painted on the mask to reveal the adjustment. I then changed the file sizes as shown in the table, saved the file, re-opened it, and then re-sized it. (Image Size in pixels; File Size in megabytes). The comments under image refer to the painted area of the layer mask. As you indicated, I did not observe any degradation outside the painted area of the layer mask.
    Image Size File Size Layer Mask Image
    2592x3872 112.5 mb
    800x1195 18.9 Intact Slight Saturation and sharpness
    degradation
    2x3 8.5 Blurred Major degradation
    Thanks for directing me to the issue. This will allow me to make an informed choice when balancing quality with file size.

  • File size wrong when editing in Photoshop

    Sometimes when I right click on an image in Lightroom and choose Edit in Photoshop, the resulting file in Photoshop has a size of 72 dpi and usually like around 3" on the long side. The original file is 13 mp so it isn't because the initial file is small. This happens maybe 20% of the time, and I cannot find a pattern to it.
    My workaround is to open that image in Bridge, go through ACR and it is then fine in Photoshop.
    I am using the Photoshop CS3 beta, but I don't suspect that is the problem.
    Anyone else having this issue? Is it something I am inadvertantly doing? Or if it is a known problem is there a fix?

    Hmmm. Wonder why these few images would be any different than the ones before/after them? They are all raw files from my 5D, imported by Lightroom from my cf card. And again, I can process the same files I had problems with in Lightroom through Bridge and go into ACR and they are fine that way. Next time it happens, I will email you the CR2 file...thanks. Hopefully you can see something interesting about it!
    Is there some place in Lightroom that I can specify what ppi and/or file size to use when I edit in Photoshop? The files (other than these weird ones) are currently coming in at 240 and I'd prefer 300. Just saves me one little step of changing it, but hey every step helps in a workflow!

  • Lightroom 5.6 Error: The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched...

    I upgraded to lightroom 5.6 recently and i am using photoshop cs 6.
    My OS is windows 8 on i5 4670 with R280X gfx card 16gb ram
    After editing a photo with lightroom , when I right click to edit in photoshop, immediately photoshop launch but the image isnt imported to photoshop.
    After like 30sec  an error message pop out saying "The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched".
    After another 10sec then the photo appear in photoshop... this is getting irritating to me.
    if i select to just open the original or a copy of the original it works fine. It only happens when I try to open it with lightroom changes.
    I had uninstall/reinstall both photoshop and lightroom as well as remove all the plugins i had, but the problem doesnt go away.
    Another issue with lightroom 5.6 is the the adjustment brush is slow and sluggish, it is so unusable when I zoom in to use the adjustment brush.
    I didnt had that issue before i upgraded. OMG
    anyone have solution to my problem ?

    I upgraded to the latest version of ps cc 2014 , problem resolved.
    look like cs6 i outdated or something

  • Photoshop CS3 font size of "label" and "description" of printed file

    How do you change and manage the font size of the "label" and "description" ( "file" > "file info" > "description")that you can opt to have printed above and below your photo?
    After typing in the "description" via "file info", you click on "print" and check off the "label" and "description" options.
    I'm using a Dell PC and an Epson CX3810.
    My instructor says that he's not been able to find out how to manage the font option.
    Thanks

    As a messy workaround you could put a simple string indicator ("classic Controls") on every tab over the page labels and change the text style/size etc. to your liking. Trouble is - the bound of the string indicator resizes while increasing the size of the text. As "size to text" doesn't work here maybe you can get the appropriate size from somewhere else. Document Bounds is not it, as I just found out. Possibly you should just use a free label, but I don't know whether their text is settable at runtime and their background can be altered.
    However - I think, you get the idea. Maybe it's worth 30 min testing...

  • Large file size increase when editing in PS3

    I shoot mostly JPG with most file sizes in the 5MB range. Today I sent 3 files to PS3 for auto alignment and blending to a panorama. When complete, the resulting PSD file back in my Lightroom library is 495MB. When I export the PSD panorama as a JPG for printing a 9" x 36" with 180 dpi the resulting JPG is only 6.1MB. I imported the 6.1MB JPG panorama back into Lightroom for comparison with the 495MB PSD file and they look nearly identical even at 100%. Will someone please explain to me what is happening to cause these remarkable file size changes ? Any reason other than the time it takes not to replace the PSD file in my library with the smaller JPG when finished with the process ?

    jpeg is a lossy compression that uses an algorithm based on human vision research that gets rid of information in the file that we cannot generally really see and compresses color ranges that we are less likely to see changes in (typically reds) more than colors our eyes are very sensitive to (yelow and green). At least when you use a high quality setting. PSD on the other hand, uses a lossless compression algorithm that retains ALL information in an image regardless of whether you should be able to see it or not. Now sometimes you might want to do an edit that for example lifts up shadows. If you started with a jpeg, that information might already be gone, but when you saved as a psd, you might be able to retrieve it as the compression algorithm did not already throw away the information. Another example is subtle gradients in certain colors, such as blues or reds. Say you want to make the color more saturated. You're likely to start seeing banding with the jpeg, while you'll probably get good results with a losslessly compressed file.
    Lastly, the psds Lightroom writes are typically 16 bits, which means again more precision. They can also contain layers such as adjustment layers, which allows you to later go back on your edits. Jpeg cannot do any of these things. It might be alright to store a finalized file as jpeg, but be aware that you'll be limited to what you can do with them if you change your mind. Harddisk space is supercheap nowadays.

  • LR 1.3.1 auto stacks photos when editing with Photoshop

    Hi,
    No matter what I do I can't stop Lightroom 1.3.1 from automatically importanting the TIFF I creat when I perform a "edit with Photoshp CS3" on any of my RAW files. This never used to be a problem the auto update updated my Lightroom to the latest release a couple months ago. This sounds like a regression bug to me. I searched the forum before I submitted this, but I don't see anybody else with this issue.
    Mike

    When I export to Photoshop, then save, I have a PSD file stacked with my raw file. But when I am in Library, filtering my collection by the Metadata Browser by Date (for one specific day), and then I select by star rating, I have these two separate images, that won't "stack" together. And all the stacking commands are greyed out. Only when I am viewing my thousands of images (un "filtered") do the stacking commands seem to work. I can't find anything about this in the help. I only want to see the #1 image from each stack!
    Thanks.

  • Lightroom 5.2 Error: The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched...

    When I am using Lightroom 5.2, and I try to edit a file in Adobe Photoshop CC from Lightroom, Photoshop starts up and after 15 to 20 seconds, I receive the following error message: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched." If I click "OK" on the error message form, the image finally opens in Photoshop.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5.2 and Photoshop CC multiple times, but the edit in Photoshop problem won't go away.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    I am having the same problem in lightroom 5 on a mac (Mavericks).  I'm wondering if it's because I have both Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CC and somehow they are conflicting, but I don't see how.  I clearly have Photoshop CC as the primary external editor. 
    Last night, after seeing this post, and ekupp's response, I uninstalled Photoshop CC and reinstalled it via the creative cloud and that fixed it, but today it's doing the same thing again. When I choose to edit in photoshop CC, Photoshop CC opens but I still get the error in lightroom.  If Photoshop CC is already open, I still get the error.  I refuse to keep uninstalling/reinstalling it...  I can't lose Photoshop CS5 as I use it for designing (I like the view in mini bridge better), but I like CC for editing.
    This is creating a secondary problem for me as I am ending up with a bazillion (OK, maybe 5) psd copies of the raw files that I want to edit.  When I get the error, Lightroom proceeds to render the files.  I really want to turn that function off because as of now I have to try to click the microscopic "x" for each file as it "prepares to edit" and that's tedious and is creating extra files I don't want. 
    Last thing, since I'm here and hopeful to get an answer...  I have a Mac, as I stated and I like my spaces.  However, when the "edit in photoshop" function works spaces continues to force me to the photoshop space.  No multitasking allowed as my files are opened.  I think this is a lightroom or photoshop quirk, as when I run actions I am able to go to a different space (safari or lightroom) to work as it works for me.

  • No new PSD file in Lightroom after Edit in Photoshop

    As usual, I send a NEF from LR 5.6 to Photoshop CC2014 (ProPhoto RGB) but a new PSD shows up in LR after saving/closing in PS? (Mac)

    Lightroom works in a completely different way than Photoshop or other pixel editing programs. In order for you to edit that PSD file has to be imported into the Lightroom catalog. It might be to your advantage to just use Photoshop, if you have it, because understanding how Lightroom works is essential in order for you to be effective.
    If the PSD file has a text layer, you will not be able to access It separately using Lightroom. Lightroom does not use layers, and you cannot work with text like you do in Photoshop. I just believe, based on what you have told us, that Lightroom is probably not a good choice for this particular project.

  • Duplicate files when editing in Photoshop??

    I was wondering if it was possible to avoid the duplicate files when I edit in Photoshop. For example: If I import three raw files into CS2 to blend, then save the blended file and import it back into Lightroom for further processing, I have to go and delete the other two duplicate PSD's ever time. This seems redundant..any suggestions or is this just how it goes? Thanks, Chip

    That's how it goes.

  • Photoshop file error -43 on "Edit in Photoshop"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a simple menu using an Encore library menu a starting point. When I click the Edit in Photoshop button, I get the above error. Below are the steps to recreate the error. This youtube video also shows the steps.
    Create a new project.
    Drag PAL_blank menu WIDE from the library to the project window.
    Drag Nifty Fifties button from library to the menu.
    Click the Edit in Photoshop button.
    Encore pops up an error box containing the error message "Photoshop File Error -43"
    Photoshop CS5 and Encore CS5. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    Also CS5, Win7 64 bit.
    I do not get the error.
    Slight variation on your steps: I create a new project, set as PAL.
    The menu list does not show pal or ntsc, just Blank Menu Wide, but the menu name once in is PAL_Blank Menu WIDE.
    I don't think there is any choice on those points, and don't believe it has anything to do with the error.
    Its a file not found error. Makes me wonder about permissions. Try starting Encore as "run as administrator."
