Can Lightroom 5.5 'link' with Photoshop CS5?

I use  Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 and need to open Sony ARW RAW files.
At a talk last night and expert gave a talk on his Mac about Lightroom and how RAW files could be imported.
He showed how Lightroom differed from Camera Raw and persuaded me that I needed Lightroom.

Lightroom is an excellent companion for Photoshop CS5. It will give you the features of the latest Camera Raw. Lightroom will create a PSD or TIF file to send to Photoshop so that you can use all of the Photoshop tools you are accustomed to. When you have finished working in Photoshop that file will be saved and added to your Lightroom catalog. I think you would be very pleased with the workflow.
Camera Raw that is used by Photoshop CS5 is older than the raw editing capabilities of Lightroom 5. Camera Raw is used to convert the image when it transfers from Lightroom to Photoshop. Since your version of Camera Raw won't have all of the features that Lightroom does, it might not be able to accurately convert the image during the transfer. The solution is simply to allow Lightroom to create the TIF or PSD file before it is opened in Photoshop rather than at the end of the Photoshop session. The process works very smoothly, and many users use that workflow.

  • Can I complete level 5 with Photoshop CS5?

    Not so much a question as a bug report. In Photoshop CS5, lesson number 5 (straighten a photo) doesn't work. The mechanism works (get the ruler and choose 'straighten'), but it doesn't detect that you have completed it because the button in CS6 is named "straighten layer" rather than "straighten". Works fine with the CS6 trial. I'm user "John Hattan", email [email protected] if you need more particulars.

    Mira,
    I'm using Windows 7, and my version is 12.0.4 x32. Thanks!

  • Encore & Premiere Pro CS3 with Photoshop CS5

    Hi,
       I have the CS3 suite on Vista 32 bit. I was wondering if I can keep the Premiere Pro CS3 and Encore CS3  and only upgrade Photoshop to CS5. Has anyone had any compatibility issues using this combination? Can Encore CS3 menus be easily edited in Photoshop CS5?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum
    You cannot upgrade to a standalone program from a Suite.
    But to answer your question: yes you can edit Encore CS3 menus with Photoshop CS5.

  • My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

    Any ideas?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

    Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

    So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
    Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
    So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
    Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
    8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
    320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
    This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?

  • What is the most advanced version of ACR that can be used with Photoshop CS5?

    What is the most advanced version of ACR that can be used with Photoshop CS5?
    Will it open RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark III ?

    CS5 can use up to ACR 6.7.1.  CS6 started with ACR 7.0.
    The 5D Mark III was first supported with ACR 6.7.
    ACR 6.7.1 can be downloaded from the Camera Raw Mac and Win links on the Adobe Download page:

    Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

  • Lightroom Linked to Photoshop CS5 32 Bit not 64 Bit

    Hello.
    On my computer I have Lightroom 3.6 64-bit, Photoshop CS5 32-bit and 64-bit. When I'm in LR and click to edit in Photoshop, LR brings up the 32-bit version rather than the 64-bit version. What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Chris,
    As a workaround, you could bring up Photoshop 64-bit manually and leave it running. I think that when you do an Edit in Photoshop, LR will send the file to that one.

  • How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

    How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • Existing Actions and Plugins Compatible with Photoshop CS5?

    I have actions and plug-in products, and while I've done everything I can to make them future-proof, I'm wondering if any Photoshop CS5 beta testers can speak to whether existing actions and plugins are generally compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Specifically:
    Are existing 32 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Are existing 64 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Are existing actions (both platforms) proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    I'm anxiously awaiting the go-ahead to download my copy to verify everything, but I'm just trying to get a feel for whether I'll have work to do.  I'm hoping for the level of compatibility seen in CS3 and CS4 - all my software worked perfectly with no changes.
    Thanks.

    I appreciate you all taking the time to answer, but none of you has actually said what DOES happen with your existing actions / plugins and CS5 beta.
    I know that experience with one set of actions and plugins doesn't guarantee operation with another, but if, for example, someone actually stated, "all my old plugins failed to work with CS5" or "they all seemed to work okay" then I'd have a better idea of what to expect.
    Please keep in mind I've been developing commercial actions since PS6 and plugins since CS2, and all my software works on all 32 bit versions and 64 bit CS4 on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64, so I'm intimately familiar with what might happen and what should happen.  Plus I've programmed them to be quite resilient, and I don't expect any of the CS5 feature changes to break them.  What I don't know is whether Adobe has fundamentally altered the plugin interface this time around, or has deprecated any old filters, causing a plugin or action that used to work to fail now.  The word "rewrite" has been used to describe CS5, and that has me wondering.
    In short, I'm really looking for actual experience with the CS5 beta here.
    Wish I could get the CS5 SDK already.  I don't understdand why Adobe doesn't release that in advance.
    Thanks.

  • BUG WITH PHOTOSHOP CS5

    One thing I cannot stand with
    Photoshop CS5 is the snap on files.  I open 10 files and I have 10 tabs.  In order
    to manipulate them, I have to drag the tab out in order to drag and drop layers between files.  I had a
    great idea if you guys like to have tabbed open photoshop files.  Why not
    have the layered files I have be able to drag and drop onto the tabs???????
    This way, when I click on another opened file tab, I can see the layer on the file I dragged and dropped.
    HERE IS AN EVEN BIGGER IDEA.
    When dragging and dropping photoshop layers onto other open tab files, when you drag and drop onto the tab, HAVE THE TAB LIGHT UmP.  This way, when I let go of the mouse, I can click on the tab and KNOW the layer is in the file.
    Just thought of putting my two sents in today.

    I know of someone who had this same issue. He ended up backtracking to 10.6.3 and that fixed the problem. There seemed to be an issue with part of the update that PS didn't like when handling so many open files.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why cannot I open NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5?

    When I try to open raw NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5 I get: "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw"
    Nikon D600, however, is among the camera models listed as compatible with Camera Raw CS5.
    I have never had any problem in Camera Raw CS5 and older versions with raw NEF files from a Nikon D80 camera.
    Is there an update for CS5 to make it compatible with Nikon D600 raw NEF files?
    Many thaks in advance.

    Which verison of camera raw do you have installed? I would update to the latest camera raw plug in. Here is a link to 6.7
