Can't open image in External Editor.

Hello. I'm using Piccure as external editor for LightRoom 5.2. When trying to open image, I get "Image file -psn_0_S784964 doesn't exist", when my original image has different name. Image name is accepted by Piccure as first command line argument. Looks like LightRoom starts Piccure with wrong arguments.
Could it be that LightRoom starts external editor with different syntax then "/Applications/Piccure/Piccure.app/Contents/MacOS/psplugin /pathToFile/imagefile.tiff". Maybe in some cases it adds more arguments, or corrupts existing path to image?
Thanks.

What "original" camera file type are you using, how are you creating the TIFF files, and what bit depth (8, 16, 32)? The Piccure FAQ says raw images need to be converted to 32/channel TIFF files, but under 'How To' it says:
Select “Filter/Piccure/Reduce camera shake...” (Lightroom®:Select “Photo/Edit in/Piccure”. Save the current photo as a copy(TIFF,16 Bit) and run piccure).
Also what are your External Editing Preference settings for Piccure?

Can't open image in external editor, can't export images

Greetings helpful Aperture experts,
I've just finished transferring aperture from one computer to a replacement unit. Except for being slow on my previous g5, it worked flawlessly at every level. However, now that I've xferred, I can't open Aperture images with an external editor, nor can I export the images to my desktop. Any help along these lines will be gigantically appreciated.
gaylon

Thanks, ok, here is the info step by step:
When I try to pick any raw image, I am not able to export from Aperture. When I go into the finder and select "show master" then I am able to export from aperture. However, it seems that I am not able to export an image full size. I selected export image to full size jpg to my desktop. Nothing happens except that the window that indicates the image is exporting is open and it says estimated time less than a minute. Yet, there is nothing happening. Additionally, before I transferred Aperture over to my new g5, I could right click an image and had the option to open an image with external editor. Now, no such menu item is apparent. An update, the menu box that lets me know that my image is exporting is still open but there has been no progress. It will just sit there forever, or until I force Aperture to quit. Here's another strange goings on: One of my folders of raw images appear to be pixelated and of very poor quality, even when viewing the masters. The images have already been published by the client in their annual report, so I know that what I am seeing on the screen is not reality. Should I just uninstall Aperture and reinstall? Also, what will this do to the thousands of images in my libraries? Thanks so much for your input and help. In no way am I an expert, but I've been successfully using Aperture since it came out. That was on my G5 dual processor mac with pre intel configuration. Now, these strange things are happening with my new replacement G5 with the Intel processors. Thanks again.

Wrong filename used when opening image in external editor

When I select an image and choose Open in External Editor, the filename that is used for the opened image is the original filename given from the camera (DSC1234) and not the filename that I choose when importing (DATECUSTOMSEQ).
Why is this? Is this is a bug?

I don't want to export the file to Photoshop, because
I want to keep the modified version in the project in
Aperture, may be for a book later.
Aperture says "open version in external editor", but
it opens the version with the master file name.
That's wrong!
But if it goes back into Aperture under the proper version, does it matter? It seems to me it only matters if you plan to save out the file directly from Photoshop, or if you have many photoshop windows open and want to reply on the version name to keep them stright (whcih I could see).
The reason Aperture uses the master name is because when you open a file for external editing you are actually creating a new master itself, and it's trying to make sure it is tied back to the real original master. All changes based on that externally edited version will treat the PSD or TIFF you edit externally as the new master (versions created against the old master) will still be based on the original master, not the new one...
That is why I advocate trips to external editors as the last step in an Aperture workfow. Otherwise you can end up making a lot of new versions in a hurry.

Images won't open in Adobe external editor

I can't get my images to open up in Photoshop eventhough it is set up as my external editor. When I select a picture to open with via the chosen external editor, a second version of my original is made within Aperture(with the external editor badge on it), Photoshop proceeds to open, but the image does not open in Photoshop to allow for edits.
Can someone recommend a fix?

Are you using CS2 or CS3? There might be something weird going on with the emulation if you're using CS2.
Barring that, I'd open up Aperture, set the external to nothing, quit Aperture, reopen, then reset it to PS again. Kind of a pain, but stuff like that has worked in the past for me. Also, do you have the latest version of Aperture (1.5.3)? If not, update.
You might also want to try pointing it to a different external editor – if it works on the alternate one, then it might have something to do with your Photoshop installation, which then might necessitate a reinstall.
My last (well, 2nd last to uninstalling and reinstalling Aperture) suggestion would be to repair permissions and cross my fingers.

I can't open image files, or even drag images into PSE 12 Editor

So, this is very weird. I had PSE 10. About a week ago, it suddenly developed weird problems. Like, it wouldn't let me use Auto Levels, or let me crop an image, etc.
In frustration tonight, I bought PSE 12. Same exact problem, except worse. It literally won't let me open a JPG file.
I can use the File -> Open menu. I'm on a PC, so the usual file opening dialog appears. I select a JPG and click Open. And... nothing. The window closes, I'm back in the editor, but nothing's happened. (Oddly enough, it does appear in the "Open Recently Edited File" menu, but can't open it from there, either.)
I've tried dragging a JPG from a browser onto the editor's workspace. Doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thx!

Bueller? Bueller? I'm frustrated that I just spent $99 to upgrade and I am completely unable to use my software. I have work to do!

Problem opening multiple images in external editor

I have Photoshop CS3 set as my external editor. In the past I cpould select multiple photos using shift-click OR command-click and select "Edit in external editor" and Photoshop will open all the images. I notice that in the latest version of iPhoto 7.1.3 (maybe in other 7.x versions) it will only open the first four images. If you use command-click to select non consecutive images it will only open the first consecutive set, up the the maximum of four as above, and none of the other non consecutive but selected images.
I have checked this with my separate TestAdmin account with the same result. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
Using OS 10.5.2, iPhoto 7.1.3, PS 10.0.1

Mike
This is exactly as the makers of the application intended. It will only pass four pics at a time to the external editor. My guess is they made this decision to avoid the problem of inexperienced folk opening their entire library in PS by accident. Also, if I recall correctly, this has always been the case - and it certainly was in v6.
There is no workaround for this.

Why can't we have Camera Raw 8.5 open as an external editor in Lightroom 5 to allow using the new filter brush

ARC 8.5 has a new filter brush for the graduated filter which will allow deleting areas from the applied area - why/how can ACR 8.5 be set as a external editor to allow access to this ability??? . Or when will Lightroom be upgraded to have this feature?
Thanks

ACR 8.5 is a plug-in for Photoshop not a standalone program. I’d suggest doing an Edit In Photoshop CC/2014 and then using Filter / Camera Raw in PS to do your edits.
I would also LR will be upgraded at some point, but maybe not until 6.0. It’s hard to say, since the LR folks are having to deal with LR mobile things, now, too, PS is part of the cloud, and a promise of the cloud is to get new functionality sooner.

Can't edit pics in external editor

I can't open anything from my iPhoto library up in Photoshop. For instance, if I Control+click an image in iPhoto, I see that there is an option Edit in External Editor," but it's all un-clickable and gray rather than the normal clickable black. How can I open my iPhoto pics in Photoshop?

And note that after editing in an external editor you "save" to return the photo correctly to the iPhoto library and update the iPhoto database - do not save as which will create a new photo and not be a part of the iPhoto library until it is imported
Also after configuring an external editor you can set the edit in back to in main window and normal editing will be by iPhoto - right clicking brings up the additional options including the external editor

Opening images in external programs from Lightroom

Hi all,
I have two questions.
Firstly - Can someone advise why, when I edit an image in an outside plugin ( right click on Edit In and select the program ), and then when I save the edited image in that program and go back to my Lightroom filmstrip, it is not there.
The edited image only appears when I close Lightroom down and reopen it. Then the edited image is there alongside the original. Obviously, closing down Lightroom every time I want to edit an image is not ideal.
I need to be able to open an image for external edits ( CS5 / NIK plugins ) and then see it again when I come back to Lightroom.
Any ideas ????
Secondly - this is the 3rd time I have asked this question in this forum. When I check a few hours later, my questions has disappeared, I assume moved down the line.
where do the older questions go ??? I haven't had a chance to read any answers. There is no " see older posts " button. Whats with that ????
Appreciate any help.
Dave.

Dave, looking back through this thread I don't see any mention of what OS you are on. I myself have Windows 7 so my knowledge of Mac systems is thoroughly limited, but over the years I have seen countless posts about problems that were finally tracked down to permissions settings for folders or drives in Mac machines. Normally, when you send an image to an outside editor LR temporally designates the folder from which it came as a sort of "watched folder" and automatically does the synchronization to auto-import a newly saved RGB image. If your LR can't do that (even manually), it's not clear where the fault lies; in LR or in the interface with the OS that gives LR access to the folder.

Exported images to external editor (Photoshop CS5) have missing adjustments

Hi All
Wonder if anyone knows the answer to this. Basically if I select a image that has Aperture adjustments applied to it and edit in external editor (in my case CS5) the image opens without the adjustments, however if I export the image say to the desktop then open them in CS5 it is fine. The adjustments I made in aperture are contrast, curve vibrancy etc and some brush adjustments. Also I have heard that the sharpening brush adjustment is not exported ? Running a iMac on 10.6.4 and Aperture 3.0.3
Any help would be much appreciated.

Colin

If I take an image with a large number of adjustments including all the ones you've listed above, multiple brushes etc. and click open in CS5, Aperture takes a reasonable while to process the image, creates a psd with all the adjustments applied and then opens the 16 bit 300 dpi psd file in photoshop. So what you are describing is not a universal bug as it's been working as it should every time on my machine.
It may be a slight library corruption from your side.Your last description of long and short process times is telling. Have you done the basic checks? Rebuild database, check library permissions, ensure that the images in question on online if referenced etc?
Fill us in a little bit more about your setup - can you tell a difference between the images it works on and those it doesn't (RAW or jpeg, what flavour of RAW, referenced or managed, same camera or different) - and we'll see if we can help you further.
