Cannot Edit a Copy w/ Lightroom Adjustments in I LR 2

I am using Lightroom 2 w/ Windows Vista. Just recently I found that after I make a few edits in the Develop module and then try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 I no longer get the window offering a choice of options such as "Edit a Copy w/ Lightroom Adjustments". I can't find anything in the Preferences that explains this. Updating to Lightroom 2.1 did not help.

There are numerous threads about this in this forum, but a brief answer is:
You will only get the dialog offering the choices if you edit a non-RAW file, i.e. .jpg, .tif, .psd.
If you edit a .dng, .cr2, .nef, or other RAW file using the primary editor you will not be offered the choice. This is by design.
If you
are editing a non-RAW file and aren't offered the dialog box then you have a problem.

  • LR3 - Cannot edit in Photoshop CS4 ("Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments")

    Having just purchased LR3, it seems that when I select "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments", that the LR adjustments aren't being carried across into CS4. I am only given the original file in PS.
    Is this a known bug?

    So what do you think might be the problem, Dorin?
    I don't know. I haven't seen a bug (assuming it is indeed a bug, and not an operator error) like this is mentioned here in the forums.
    This issue is going to affect my business in a major way.
    If this is so critical to your business, you can use a workaround meanwhile.
    Use the regular export command with the following options:
    File type: PSD/TIFF; other relevant filetype options.
    Location: same as original photo.
    Add to this catalog: checked. Stack with original: as needed.
    Post-processing: open in Photoshop.
    Save this as an Export presets and invoke it from the File->Export with Preset from the menu.
    The end result is the same as Edit in Photoshop.

    I installed Photoshop CC (2014) yesterday through the Creative Cloud app. Now, when in Lightroom when I go to "edit in"and select Photoshop CC (2014) and click on "edit copy with Lightroom adjustments",  it opens Photoshop CC (2014) but my photo doesn't show up?  My photo does show up when I click on "edit copy" or "edit original".
    How can I correct that so that I can open up a photo from Lightroom WITH the Lightroom adjustments? Thanks!

    I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
    The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

  • Photoshop CS5/Lightroom 3 integration issue - "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" does not work

    When clicking "Edit Copy with Lightoomroom Adjustments" from Lightroom, I get an error in Lightroom 3 complaining that the Camera Raw plug-in is not up to date; full message below.
    "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.1 for full compatibility.
    Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3. If raw file support for your camera was introduced after Camera Raw 4.6, the Photoshop integration features in Lightroom require Photoshop CS4 and the latest Camera Raw version 5 plug-in.
    The version of Camera Raw plug-in currently installed is 0.0."
    After I click "Open Anyways", Photoshop CS5 is initiated but it seems to have lost context of why it is opened and asks me what file I want to open (i.e. the Open As dialog).
    "Edit Copy" and "Edit Original" from Lightroom 3 works as expected and opens images fine in Photoshop, CS5 however.
    My installation is on Windows 7. I currently also have Lightroom 1.4 and Photoshop CS3 installed. Everything worked fine with the old configuration. I also tried the same workflow in Lightroom 1.4 again just now, which is now linked to CS5 instead of CS3. The "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" also work just fine.
    Things that I have tried but do not worked:
    I did an Update via the Help -> Update menu, and also manually downloaded the Camera Raw 6.1 plug-in.
    Blew away the Photoshop preferences file
    Made sure that Lightroom 3 points to Photoshop for editor
    I'm thinking that I'll try uninstall CS3 next. Anyone else encountered this issue?

    [CS5.1 (12.1) ACR 6.5RC / LR 3.5RC; MacbookPro 4gb Leopard 10.5.8 ] As a Lightroom instructor, up until now this has been a vexxing problem to explain to my students. Even if ACR in Photoshop is up to date (I just downloaded 6.5RC and installed the PS Plugin), I still get the error when attempting to edit from Lightroom 3.5RC. I deleted the PS prefs file to no avail. I was not willing to re-install Photoshop as a solution (per some blog's suggestion), although that might be the ultimate answer. But what an ordeal if so!
    For a solution, I went back to a resolution I devised when I had a CS3 compatibility problem with LR3. I went into the Preferences of Lightroom and manually chose the Photoshop app as the "custom" image editor. I went back to edit the file in PS from Lightroom and the ACR error disappeared. Try it. Yes, this means you need to use the Custom editor as your image editor, but it seems to have resolved the issue.

  • When trying to use "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustements" from Lightroom, Photoshop opens but no photo is displayed.

    I can see from searching online that this is a regular question but I have not yet seen a solution.
    I am running Lightroom 5.4 and Photoshop CC 14.2.1, both kept updated via the monthly subscription, on a 2013 MacMini running OSX 10.9.3
    Starting with jpg's:
    If I try  "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustements" - Photoshop opens but no photo displayed in PS
    If "Edit a Copy" or "Edit Original" then Photoshop displayes the file OK
    If I am using Canon Raw files (.CR2) from my Canon 70D, then AS EXPECTED Lightroom starts Photoshop with the intervening dialog box about opening a copy or original but again just a blank screen and no photo displayed.
    Has anybody found a solution yet?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Victoria,
    I dont have 3.6. but I installed lightroom 4 and the function worked fine. But i didnt like the version 4, as it consumes a lot of resources.
    I can open raw files without any problem.
    And this function had been working before and suddenly this stopped working. I didnt do any setttings changes even.
    Really appreciate your help on this.

  • Cannot edit raw photo from lightroom 5.5 in photoshop cs 6 i have camera raw 8.5 installed.

    Cannot edit raw photo from Lightroom 5.5 in Photoshop CS 6 I have camera raw 8.5 installed.

    Sorry for getting back to you this late but I figured out the problem was
    not with Photoshop but with the file itself.  I created a new file file and
    was able to edit it in Photoshop from Lightroom.  Thanks again for your
    response to help resolve the problem.

  • Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment suddenly stopped working

    I have been using lightroom 3.4 and photoshop CS6 for sometime. However suddenly I cant move images from lightroom to photoshop (Ctrl+E) with the "Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment".
    When I click this option, it opens the Photoshop. But doesnt open the image. However the other two options "edit a copy" and "Edit original" works fine.
    Also when i add photoshop again as another external editor, it works fine. But as you all are aware this create another copy of the image.
    What I did
    I checked the applications path for photoshop and it was correct.
    I uninstalled lightroom and reinstalled.

  • Lightroom 5 does not export my adjustments when editing in Photoshop 6, although I have selected "edit a copy w/ LR adjustments"

    I am a Mac user and I started to experience that my Lightroom 5 would no longer send the adjustments I have made to photoshop 6 even though I have selected the option for it do to so. I have searched online to fix this issue with no luck, I tried deleting the com.adobe.photoshop.plist and it did not resolve the issue.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    (Sometimes I have answers, but usually only more questions.)
    Are other adjustments coming across--for example if you max out the Exposure sliders does the TIF end up lighter?  You could be editing the original not the LR version.
    Are other new adjustments for LR5/ACR8 coming across--for example Uprights?  If you have an image with rectangular architectural features shot at a perspective angle, and you correct them in LR using one of the Uprights (Lens-Correction / Basic) options does Edit In w LR Adjustments include them?
    If neither Uprights or Radial Filters are coming across, that would only make sense if you're actually using ACR 8.6 with PS-CS6 (not ACR 7.1) and you're not getting asked any question about with LR Adjustments, and are just assuming you're getting LR adjustments, when instead PS is rendering things using ACR which purposely doesn't allow new LR 5/ACR8-only features.
    Another symptom of this situation would be that the filename in PS is the same as it was in LR, not with an -Edit on the end of the filename.
    You can force LR to edit a copy if you define Photoshop.exe as an external editor and use Edit in Photoshop.exe instead of Edit in Photoshop.

  • "Edit A Copy with LR Adjustments" not working in PSCS6

    Does not return an edited copy back to LR, or crashes the 3rd party app that was used as the external editor

    In elements, you have to do a "Save" and not "Save As...", which basically means if you had saved the edit as a TIF with the exact same name that Lightroom created, Lightroom would recognize it.

  • Resolution Change When I am Using "Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment"

    Hi Guys,
    I am using the latest version of lightroom and I have been trying to fix the error that lightroom made.
    1. I open most of my photos (resolution 300dpi) on lightroom to do some adjustment
    2. I am using "Edit with photoshop CS3" to continuemy editing
    okay this the problem!
    I just realized that every time, I open the photos on photoshop the resolution change became 240.
    I am really not sure which part of lightroom that I need to change :( because I just want to keep the original resolution when I bring it to photoshop.
    Thanks

    Bear in mind that there is no meaningful resolution number in an image file coming from a camera. The only truly "correct" resolution would be the number of pixels per inch on the sensor array, but that would be several thousand ppi, and your image size in inches or cm would appear to be very small -- i.e., the size of the sensor. Any other number put in there by the camera, by ACR, or by LR is merely a placeholder. Both LR and ACR set this to 240 ppi by default, which gives a typical camera image dimensions bearing some reasonable relationship to a potential print size.

  • QuickTime Pro 7.6.9 for Windows - Cannot Edit, Cut, Copy, Trim, etc

    Please can someone help?
    I am trying to Trim and Edit a video clip.
    The functions within "Edit" will not allow me to select them (Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Select, Trim to Seclection).
    Does anyone know why this may be?
    Howeverm when I initially open up QuickTime, the Apple QuickTime Homepage has all these functions visible for me to use.
    Any assistance much appreciated.

    Are you trying to edit MPEG-1 format? Use the Movie Inspector window to find out the format.

  • Is there any way to copy a photo with Lightroom adjustments without making a separate copy?

    I do most of my printing from lightroom. I generally set up my image the way I want it for printing on photo paper, and then I make other copies and adjustments for printing on things like Canvas, coffee cups, tiles, etc.
    The problem I have is I set up templates in photoshop, say for a coffee cup, which will have the correct dimensions, perhaps some text, etc. To get to the lightroom photo with the lightroom adjustments I have to "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments" in photoshop, then copy and paste the image to the template in photoshop. Now I have another copy of the image on my harddrive and in lightroom. So after I copy the image in photoshop, I close it go back to lightroom and delete the copy I just made. Besides the extra fragging on the harddrive this creates, I know I am setting myself to delete the wrong photo by accident through repetition, and it is extra work.
    How can get a copy of a photo with Lightroom adjustments to the clipboard without making another physical copy of the photo?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Godspeed,
    Bruce

    I may not be the best resource for tiles and cups, I've just started printing to them. Basically I'm doing them using an epson printer with dye sublimation inks printing on transfer paper and then doing the transfer at 400 degrees with a press. I wanted to be able to do my own to get the cost down, and wanted to be able to make it actually usable, (dishwasher safe, etc) so this is the best route I've found. I had to get a new printer, 2 presses, a bulk ink system, and the supplies to print on so it is a pretty hefty up front expense. It can be done cheaper though using a mug wrap heated in an oven (not your cooking oven though). I worked with the folks at Conde to get set up, and they seem pretty good. But I'm still early in the learning curve, so I would be able to tell you a lot more in 6 months.

  • Edit in external editor with lightroom adjustments issue LR5 and PS CC

    Since several days when I try (in Lightroom) 5 to edit an adjusted file (NEF, JPEG or TIFF) in Photoshop CC as external editor (with the option "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments") in many cases the adjustments ar not visible in photoshop CC, or only partial visible, and sometimes the file opens not at all. Removal of the preference files of LR 5 and PS CC and  a whole new installation of LR 5 didn't resolve the issue. I have a macbookPRO with Mac OS 10.8.5 and the most recent versions of LR 5 and PS CC. Has anyone experienced this problem and what can be a solution.

    I have no idea, but have you tried File / Catalog Settings/ General tab: Relaunch and Optimize. Relates to the database.

  • Lightroom adjustments applied to edits in external application

    I discovered something else tonight that I sure didn't think happened. When I do an edit in external application and choose Edit a Copy (Lightroom adjustments will not be visible) the lightroom adjustments that were applied to the original are applied to the edited file. They show before you save your edit and they are applied after you save your file. This surely is not what anybody wants nor do I remember this happening (maybe I always edited an unadjusted file before tonight?). They don't show in history so you can't undo them except by zeroing all the changes.

    Thanks for responding, Pierre. No, I get three choices to edit in an external editor. My files are jpgs. a) edit the original, b) edit a copy without lightroom adjustments, c) edit a copy with lightroom adjustments. In the case of b, I get a jpg in Photoshop and it does not show lightroom adjustments. In case c, I get a PSD in Photoshop and it already shows lightroom adjustments and does not readjust it when I save the file.
    I am using b. Edit a copy without lightroom adjustments. But as soon as the copy is created it shows the +- meaning an adjustment is applied and after I save a change from Photoshop, this adjustment is applied on top of the edits made in Photoshop. I didn't notice this happening previously so I wonder if it's some setting I managed to set with random incorrect keystrokes or something?
    Adjustments are not applied to every file. It's only when the original has an adjustment, it is applied to the copy, and then applied to the edited copy AFTER it is saved (but the adjustments do not appear in the history).

  • "Edit a copy with Light Room Adjustments"  is no longer functioning

    I use to be able to edit a copy with lightroom adjustments when I sent my photo to CS5.  It is no longer working.  how can I recover that function?

    Assumption here is that you are using LR4 with CS5? Is that correct? Lightroom uses Adobe Camera Raw 7.x and higher and CS5 doesn't have that available.
    Make certain you have downloaded the latest version of ACR for CS5 (Version 6.7) It will take care of most of the incompatibilities between the ACR version mismatch.
    To completely correct, you will need to upgrade to CS6 or have Lightroom render a flat Tiff into CS5.
