Can I continue to edit in LR after exporting an image under edit. i see that my PSD file are now only JPG

Newbie at using LR. I tried my hand a first of images. I firgured out how to export to JPG but then found that in my LR I no longer had PSD file and all my editing Histroy was gone. I could see the JPG files.
Is there a way to print out (to JPG) incremental changes but still continue to work on the images?
Thnx

Because you're new to Lightroom you might not have noticed that the selected image changed when you exported. But more than that, the selected image source in the catalog changed. In the Library module, I'm sure that when you were editing your PSD file, the folder it was in was selected. But after you do an export, that changes so that it says Previous Export shows in the Catalog panel on the left, and the only contents of the Previous Export is the one JPG, so that's all you can see right now. But if you were to go back and re-select the folder on the left with the PSD in it, you'd see your PSD again. And when you select the PSD, all the edits will be there.
So nothing is lost, it's just that you're now looking at a view that contains only the exported file.
If you exported the JPG to the same folder as the original, you can choose Library > Go to Folder in Library and you'll be back there with both the original and the JPG listed. There are other ways to get back to the preview source like the left Back arrow at the top of the Filmstrip if you have that open.

  • Photoshop touch can I edit the text from a psd file with that app ....

    Can photoshop touch edit the text from a psd file from my iMac on my ipad with that app ....

    I don't think you can because a Photoshop file (PSD) with layers will be flattened when you open up in Photoshop Touch.
    I prepared a Photoshop file with one layer of image, one layer of text over a background using Photoshop CS6 on my Mac Pro and upload the PSD file onto Creative Cloud. I then open this file in Photoshop Touch (on iPad) but it comes out as a single flat layer merging all three layers. Hope this helps.
    Below: 3 layers in Photoshop CS6 (with one layer of text)
    Below: Flattened into one layer in Photoshop Touch..

  • How can I edit separate layers in a psd file that was saved as only one layer?

    A designer provided me with a finished design and provided the psd, eps and ai files.  I'd like to make some minor changes in PS and would like to access individual layers - e.g. the text, background, etc.  When I open the psd file, however, it only has one layer.  how do I break out the original layers so that I can edit them?

    You can't. Once it's been flattened, you can't unflatten it. Talk to your designer: he/she will most likely have the unflattened version available.

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

  • I can't share my Final Cut X project : the process does not start. it seems that the project files is not found by the application. why ?

    I crate a project on Final Cut pro X. A 52 mn movie, that works really good on the time line. But I can't export it on DVD or IPad or other devices. The process is engaed but without effective effect. After one hour no result. It seems that the "project" files is not physically recognise by Final Cut export routine. Is anybody had such a bad surprise ?

    Tell everyone what type of video (format) you shot in the camera, what are your project settings and exactly what settings are you choosing when you use Share.

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

  • File appears to be unsupported or damaged after exporting an image.

    After exporting an Image I wanted to go back into the development module and make another tonal correction. After clicking on develop I received this error "File appears to be unsupported or damaged". What happened? I had just toned and exported it. The file is on an external hard drive and is a Canon MKII CR2. I'm using Lightroom 4 on a Mac Book Pro. Thanks.

    Did you tell LR to add the exported photo to the library upon export and are now by mistake trying to work on the "re-imported export"?

    As far as I know there is no download resource for older Macromedia programs and it is highly unlikely that one as old as version 3 of Fireworks will be able to work on a Windows 8.1 system.  I was unable to get a Studio 8 version installation on a Vista system, and likely even an XP system (cannot remember that far back).

  • All my .psd files are corrupt after a pc restart...

    "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document."
    This is what I get
    I am using Photoshop CC on Windows 7

    It sounds unlikely that multiple PSD files have become corrupted.  My first thought when seeing the thread title was a bad Windows FAT (File Allocation Table) but even that sounds unlikely to only affect PSD files.  So I'd be looking at the common denominator, which is Photoshop.  Have you tried creating a new document, and saving and reopening?
    I think I'd try opening the files with another app like Irfanview, or just reinstalling Photoshop.  Do you have the files backed up?

        Hi Atepastt,
    Congrats on your new Z10! I know having the right features is important. The Z10 uses Blackberry link software. The device uses the mobile hotspot feature to non-cord tether the device. The mobile hotspot feature is an additional cost. You can add this feature online http://vz.to/1di2TlT .

  • I have a family video DVD that was originally on tape, but is now on disc. I want to import it onto my MacBook to edit and store. However the files are IFO, BUP and VOB and the Mac is saying 'unable to import' as it doesn't recognise the file. Help !!

    I have a family video DVD that was originally on tape, but is now on disc. I want to import it onto my MacBook to edit and store. However the files are IFO, BUP and VOB and the Mac is saying 'unable to import' as it doesn't recognise the file. Help please !!!!!

    Those are the constituent parts of a standard mpeg2 DVD. Storing them is easy: just copy the folder to your hard drive and they will play in DVD player or VLC.
    But that format is not intended for editing. To do so:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How can i arrange that movies and picts are stored only once?, how can i arrange that movies and picts are stored only once?

    how can i arrange that movies and picts are stored only once?, i find them in thumbnail, i movie, imovie thumbnails, and some times in cache.mov or as imovie proyects

    The movies themselves are stored only once. The other files you're seeing are small ones that are used to reference, display and access the main file. If you check the file sizes, you'll see that only one (the movie file itself) is large.
    If you don't want anything saved but the main file, stop using iMovie.

  • If I burn a project to DVD to test can I continue to edite the project on the Mac or does it render and close the project.

    If I burn my project to a DVD to test the editing, can I continue to work on the project or does it close it.

    Yes. Export as QT and drag file into Compressor. Select the DVD preset (either make adjustments via Inspector or not…your call) output either to your optical drive or create a disk image. You should be able to continue to work on your project while the DVD is being encoded and output.
    There may be other ways as well…I'm still in discovery mode when it comes to X.
    Good luck.
