Can't export to Photoshop

After I hit the "Edit" button in lightroom 2 (I have Windows), the top left corner says "preparing file for editing" puts a new copy in the filmstrip and then just freezes. Any Ideas what I can do?
Thanks

ACR=Adobe Camera Raw. It is the plugin Photoshop uses to load RAW files. In Lightroom 2, when you select Edit in Photoshop, Lightroom sends the RAW file with rendering instructions to Photoshop, which uses the ACR plugin to render the file. So no new file gets created until you save in Photoshop.
For the edit in Photoshop to work, you need CS3 10.0.1 (you can get this by running the adobe updater) and you need the latest Adobe Camera Raw plugin installed which is either the beta of 4.6: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_4.6 or the 4.5 normal version from: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
Those installs are manual, so it might be simpler to just run the adobe updater which will install the ACR update too.

Can you export to Photoshop JPEG or PNG in 300dpi?

I have created a rather elaborate application guide using Keynote. Now this document should be a part of a larger brochure and the printer wants a 300 dpi JPEG or PNG version. Assuming I have inserted only .psd pictures, 300 dpi resolution, can I somehow create a 300 dpi version of this export?

HI,
Did you ever determine an answer to this question? I really need to export data after a certain date... (I would also like to publish a calendar, after a certain date-- as no one needs to see the "old" events).

How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

Hello,
To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Can you export a SWF in photoshop CS5 or CS6?

I have a client that has provided me SWF files that swear were exported from Photoshop, I know that this could be done in earlier versions. if so then how can this be done in CS5 or CS6. I have access to both.

To my knowledge, the ability to export as .swf was removed after CS3. Do you know what version of Photoshop your client was using?

Can I export an animated PNG (APNG - I think) from Photoshop? If so, how?

Can I export an animated PNG (APNG - I think) from Photoshop? If so, how?

All Web browsers do not support animated png files some like Chrome have add-ons the support animated png. IMO there are ways to plat videos in all browsers. Video can contain audio as well as animations and the video and audio compression used produce smaller files sizes then animated png files I have seen for animated png files.
Animated png files have much better color and image quality when compared to animated gif however I feel video is a better choice then animated png. CC should be able to create those video animations.
I have create animated png files using Photoshop to create the frames and a free program to create the animated png files from the frames. I do not know if I still have the free application installed. I feel that at this point in time animated png is dead. or the softwae is end of life.

Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

Can't print in indesign (icc's) and can't export pdf for PS - booklet workflow?

I have a book of artwork i've laid out in indesign and am trying to print before binding it. All attempted workflows have been thwarted so far - any help is truly appreciated.
a) printing with a canon pro9000 mark II:
Not possible. I've read into it, done plenty of tests and nothing comes close to a print of the same image from photoshop.
My problems - i can't disable canons color management when having indesign manage colors. The canon presests never grey out (as they do in ps) out and always (seemingly) apply their own icc profile in addition.
Possible solution (which comes close to but doesn't match my ps prints):
Disable indd's color management in edit>color_settings (emulate..off) (printer profile in indd's print settings becomes empty and unavailable) and have canon manage color under printer>color_matching>color_sync>my paper's profile.
This solution is not ideal so i want to export a booklet for ps instead. Here thwarting nr.2:
b) osx Lion - can't export indesign document booklet as a pdf.
I've read other posts on this and there are workarounds through postscript but then i'd have to convert everything to cmyk if i understood this right. Not good.
Is there any way to print my book in indesign or get it into photoshop as a booklet? Ideally with the text still intact rather than flattened into an image?
I know there might not be answers to the specific issues above but i was hoping anybody could if not help me then suggest an alternative workflow. All i want to do is print my book reliably with icc profiles. Is this really not possible?
Thank you so much and all help is truely appreciated!
Cheers,
Danny
(i had a former post with a. as a topic which i will delete to avoid redundancy. Also - please forgive if this has been discussed before and point me in the right direction. Last not least i have read most threads on the topic so while a former topic might have dealt with my problems it's solution - by my understanding - didn't work for me. Example: postscript for pdf because of cmyk. At the same time i fully acknowledge i might just have not fully understood the solution. Thanks!)

I can't help with your color proplem -- don't know the printer -- but you can use a script to impose your booklet in a new file, then export that to PDF.
The two I use are by Dave Saunders. The first, http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip merely shuffles the pages in a new file. You then export that as spreads. It's very fast and easy, but cannot handle objects that cross the spine.
The second is at Dave's CS3 Booklet Script and works by placing pages into a new spread-size document. This one does do cross-spine objects, but neither one handles creep. It's been awhile since I used either, but I think bleeds may be an issue for the second script, too.
There are also imposing plugins for Acrobat...

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

See if any of this info will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

As with others I can't export from Lightroom 4 to Elements 10 or any of the Nik products except HDR Efex pro. Surely this has been fixed? If not it is appalling. It has been going on for too long in a program that has supposed to have some integrity

I am able edit pictures in PSE (Photoshop elements) 10 BUT i am unable to edit videos in PRE (premiere elements) 10. I will uninstall LR 4.1 RC1 and then install RC2 and use a backup of the catalog. Lets see if that works.

QuickTime Export in Photoshop CC

I haven't been able to export (render) a small animation to Quicktime in Photoshop CC. I still have Photoshop CS5 installed and it is not a problem there. The only option I have in CC is to export to "Photoshop Image Sequence". Adobe Media Encoder is grayed out.
If it means anything, I'm using Windows 7 in a 32 bit enviorement, not 64.
Any help, greatly appreciated.
Thanks

We are talking about Photoshop CC. The video file created can only be exported to JPEG, TIF, GIF etc. TheAdobe Media Encoder (see image) is not available. The only option is the Photoshop Image Sequence. This is very frustrating as the movie export to H.264 format in CS6 is awesome.
So the question is: Adobe Creators do you plan to continue the video export in CC or not?
If not, will CS6 via Creative Cloud be available anymore or dicontinued? And if not, why does your product evangelist video state the CC has all the functionality of CS6 Extended?
Discontinuing video export support or availability of CS6 via Creative Cloud will, no doubt, make many end users, like myself, upset! Is our only alternative then to create animated GIF files?
Please have someone from Adobe R&D respond.

Export to photoshop or print even...

Hi,
I have created a document in iwork08. What I really want to know is how I can import this document into Photoshop to edit. But right now I am having trouble even printing this iwork document out on my printer. It keeps telling me that my printer is offline. But if I try to print a pic or something it prints just fine.
So whats up with the document not printing?
That and or how can I export this over to photoshop?

How can I import my photoshop images onto my ipad?

How can I import my photoshop images onto my ipad?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How to see original photo after exporting to photoshop

Hello,
When making adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom I know you can use the "\" key to see the before image. However, when I export to photoshop it saves a second image back into Lightroom.
When looking at this new image is there a way to flip back and forth with the original RAW??
Thanks
Scott

No, that isn't possible because the new image is a completely separate file. But there's nothing preventing you from using the arrow keys in Lightroom to move back and forth between the two images. Or, you can highlight the two images and press the letter C to compare the two images side-by-side.
