Can't edit dng in Elements

I just downloaded the trial version of Elements and am trying to open some DNGs from Lightroom 3.2 - Edit In... PS Elements.
However unlike PS CS5, they won't open directly, but I get the dialogue box asking me to edit a copy (the only option available).
Why's that?

You can send a DNG or RAW to CS5 and do things to it as a RAW that cannot be done in Lightroom. This is not true of Elements. If you could send a DNG or RAW to Elements, you can only do things in Elements to the RAW that can also be done in Lightroom. So, there is no point to send a RAW to Elements from Lightroom. Do all your RAW/DNG processing in Lightroom, then send a TIF to Elements.
I do all my relevant adjustments in Lr, but I have to send the images to Ps for cloning/healing and perspective control as in don't have enough control in Lr3.
When I send a DNG from Lr to Ps CS5, I'm actually converting to Tiff on the way, I don't open the DNG in ACR. If I close the image in Ps without saving, no new files are created. However, in Elements, Lr creates the Tiff files first, then opens them in PsE.
I can't understand why they have to be different, and why they are designed to be different. Is there a point?
Well, I uninstalled Elements now as it is painfully slow in saving. Though there was one thing Iliked in Elements: the fact that a locked background layer does't have to be double clicked to unlock when I want to transform that layer. In Ps it requires a couple more clicks to unlock.

    HOW CAN I EDIT MY PHOTOS IN PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 10 ?   JB     [email protected]

    No, sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about. Exactly what happens? You do not need to buy a different version of Elements, just explain EXACTLY what the problem is. And please turn off your caps lock key.
    Adobe is not preventing you from using PSE 10. Thousands of people are using it, so we need to figure out exactly where the problem lies. Please explain step by step what you are doing and what happens.

  • Can't edit photo in Elements 8.0 in CS5

    I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7. My old computer had Windows XP. I have Elements 8.0 and CS5 installed on both computers. On my old computer, in the Organizer, I was able to click on Edit, then click on Edit with Photoshop (in the drop-down menu), and the photo could then be edited in CS5. On my new computer, either nothing happens when I click on Edit with Photoshop or I get the spinning circle and then nothing happens. I want to continue to be able to edit my photos in CS5, then save the edited photos in version stacks in Elements. This worked perfectly in my old computer. I am using the exact same Elements 8.0 and CS5 in the new one. Can anyone help me???

    Is the only problem you're having that a file won't open in Photoshop CS5 when you double-click a file, or choose Open WIth Photoshop CS5?  If so, you wouldn't be the first person to have this problem.  There is a way to reset the defaults for opening files via Bridge.
    Which application (CS5 or Elements 8) did you install first / last?
    I ask, because each of the two editors pretty much assumes it's the one you really want to use to edit photos, and whichever one you installed last would set things like "file open" defaults to point to itself.
    And no, probably not a lot of people use both Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop Elements, so I doubt you'll get a lot of responses based on others' personal experience with these two together.

  • Still can't Edit In Photoshop Elements 10 from LR 4.1RC1

    It's getting further than in LR4.0.  In v4.0 nothing would happen.
    In 4.1RC1, you get a dialog asking copy/no copy.  Then a copy is made.  PSE is launched.  But there's no image in PSE.
    Mac OSX Lion.  PSE10.0.  Images in DNG (from original NEF).  Tried export both in TIFF and PSD.  No difference.

    Edit > Preferences > External Editing
    Go down to "Additional External Editor"
    Click Choose and navigate to the Elements folders and click on the icon to start Elements.
    Choose the other options, File Format, Color Space, etc.
    Click the down arrow in the Preset Box and give your preset a name.
    Then whenever you want to go to Elements, Photo > Edit In and choose your preset.

  • Can't edit in Photoshop Elements

    When I try to move a photo into Photoshop Elements for editing, all I ever get is the message "Preparing file for editing" but no progress at all. Neither JPG nor Raw files work. I've fooled with Edit, Preferences to no avail. This worked fine in LR 1.3. Any ideas?
    I have a Pentium 4 with 1 G of RAM, Lightroom 2 and Photoshop Elements 6.
    Thank you.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

  • Can I select multiple photos from iPhoto to edit in Photoshop Elements?

    From iPhoto I am wanting to select all the photos from an event or album to edit in Photoshop Elements to avoid having to switch back and forth between the two. I have PSE set up as the external editor in iPhoto. When I have the photos selected in iPhoto and click the edit button, the most photos that will show in the PSE project bin is 4. I can go back to iPhoto and select more and they will be added to the existing photos in the project bin, but again I am trying to avoid having to go back and forth, and want to be able to edit one event/album in one sitting. I've tried highlighting each individual photo within an event, and also just the event, but still the max is 4 photos. It seems when I did this a couple months ago it worked fine, but since it is not doing it now I am questioning whether I imagined the whole thing! Is there a way to have more than 4 photos at a time? Thanks in advance for all help provided.

    Hi, cyndy. Welcome to the discussions. No, 4 is the largest number you can send to PSE at one time. (This is an iphoto limitation, incidentally, not a PSE limitation.)

  • How can I edit a Nikon D7000 .nef file using Photoshop Element 8?

    In order to read and edit a picture taken in RAW format by a Nikon D7000, using Photoshop Element 8, what should I do?  Any plug in that I should download?

    The D7000 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 which is compatible with Elements 9 or later
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Either upgrade to Elements 12 or use the Adobe DNG converter to convert D7000 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 8.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

  • Suddenly can't edit in LR4 -- can DNG files get locked?

    I suddenly can't edit in "Develop" mode.  I can click on Lens Correction, but I can't seem to use the Basic adustments, Detail, or any others.   It's like I locked the DNG file from any more editing.  Any ideas?*

    Hi Ron,
    Can  you open the basic panel?
    ...just a weird idea... maybe you have set your develop panels to solo mode? So only one will be open at a time? <ctrl>1 should help, as this opens the basic panel.
    To answer your general question: it is not the DNG files that get locked - they are *locked* all the time.
    LR writes a record pointing to a DNG inside its catalog=database.
    That can not get locked.
    What exactly do you see when trying to do a basic adjustment?
    Could it be a performance problem - LR just being too slow for you to notice anything?
    What system are you using, which LR-version exactly?

  • How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

    how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

    You have two options:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

    Fortunen

    When you installed version 10 did you convert your previous catalog?
    If so, your projects should appear in the PSE10 Organizer. To search for them type PSESS into the search box.
    You should then be able to open the project by double clicking on  its thumbnail.
    Then choose Output >> Edit in Premier Elements
