Cannot edit Lightroom 2 photo in Elements 9

I am using OS 10.6.5. I have Lightroom 2.7 installed and I just purchased Photoshop Elements 9. I am trying to edit my Lightroom photos in Elements by going to the Menu, selecting Photos and then the selecting Edit In, but I am not able to select any of the options from Edit In as they are grayed out. I have uninstalled and re-installed both programs and that has not helped. Any suggestions? Let me know if more info is needed.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
I think LR should automatically detect PS Elements, and set it up as an external editor, when being installed. However, if there's a problem and it doesn't automatically set it up, you can try and set it up manually yourself. The instructions on how to do this are here;
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSA810DC18-9A3B-4f2e-B09C-1C45DD1F8EDC.htm l
I had an old version of PS Elements on my system when I started using LR, and LR didn't pick it up as an external editor - I assume this is because I have PS CS5 installed, and it used that instead.
Hopefully, this workaround will solve the problem.

Why can't I edit Lightroom pictures in Photoshop Elements?

I'm on a Windows PC running Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 12. Why can't I get Elements as an option when I am in Lightroom and select Photo - Edit In?? Elements is not an option there. Can I change that??

This blog will explain how to install Elements as an external editor in lightroom. The main thing to remember it to point Lightroom to the EDITOR and not the Elements Startup screen where you can choose Organizer or Editor. If you don't point to the EDITOR the photo will not show up in Elements

Lightroom "Edit in" no photo in Elements

My photo does not show up in Elemements 10 when I use "Edit In" button in Lightroom 3? I am working with a photo in lightroom and select "edit in" (Elements 10) and Elements opens but no photo shows up. What am doing wrong?

Is this the mac version? If so, see this:

Cannot edit Aperture 3 photo in Photoshop elements 10

When I want to edit a photo in Aperture 3 through Photoshop Elements 10, nothing happens. The photo does not show up. It used to work before.

That it never worked right is important to know .
Reset the external editor selection in Aperture following the instructions at the link I posted above.
You should be able to right-click an Image, select "Edit with NamedEditor", edit the copy of your Image that Aperture creates and sends to the external editor, close your file in the editor (do not "Save As"), and end up back in Aperture with your original Image next to your selected duplicated-and-edited Image.
Do you?

Whenever I open the editor in Photoshop Elements 12 it does not work. When I try to click open in the application it does not do anything. None of the buttons work. When I open a photo using file at the top it opens but I cannot edit it or use any of the features on the left side.

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

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.

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

How do I open a photo in Elements 11 when I cannot drag it from Windows Fax Viewer? [was:Help]

Can layers be used to further edit a photo in Elements after editing in LR? [was:Tacoma Grandma]

Is there a way to use layers to further edit a photo in Elements after editing in Lightroom?

The "Edit In" option of Lightroom is the usual way. This creates a new image that PS / Elements can work with. The starting image and the new image (showing the results of your editing, once those are saved) both then appear in Lightroom.
Exporting does not pair up LR and Elements (or other image editing program) in quite the same easy and transparent way.
As to the Layers query: probably the most usual format chosen for external editing is TIFF, but PSD is also used. Both preserve any layers intact when saved (unlike JPG) allowing returning to a layered file for further editing in the future. These editing files include a further fullsize preview, if layered (this is unnecessary for a flattened file, in which case LR can just read that Background layer directly).
The preview is a losslessly compressed full colour bitmap, updated at each time of saving, representing the then-current combined appearance of the "layer stack" as seen within Elements.
Lightroom cannot understand about whatever pixel and adjustment layers, layer interactions and effects etc the file may contain - but it doesn't need to, because it can look at the "compatibility" preview instead.

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

IPhoto 6.0.4 crashing after editing photo in Elements 3.0

After I edit a photo in Elements 3.0 (double-click to edit, make changes, save as JPEG, max quality, close) and click back to iPhoto, iPhoto crashes suddenly (no error message). Thereafter, I cannot view the photo I edited in full screen mode, nor can I view the photo adjacent to it in the roll. The link to the full-size photo, as opposed to the thumbnail, appears to be corrupt. Opening iPhoto while holding down shift+option doesn't help.

Steven:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
double-click to edi
I'm assuming you've setup iPhoto to use Photoshop Elements when you double click on a thumbnail, right?
Try downloading and running BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. See if that will help.
If not create a new library, import a couple of photos and try editing with PSE as you do in the other library. If that one crashes then it's either an iPhoto problem or a system wide problem. If it doesn't crash, try rebuilding the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and following the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all the options.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Cannot edit in Photoshop Elements

Hi,
I´m running Lightroom 1.3.1 and Elements 6.0 on a Vista machine, and I´m having problems to bring up photos in Elements for editing. I had to modify the registry to enable the Edit in Photoshop elements menu, and now Elements opens up when issue this command.
The problem is no photo shows up in Elements! Elements opens up with an empty window but nothing more happens!

I managed to solve the problem on my own. By mistake, I put a reference to the Elements "container application" (the EXE-file that ends with 6.0) in the registry. For some reason the editor fired up which made me believe everything was OK. I changed this reference in the registry to EXE-file corresponding to the elements editor (this filename _do_not_ end with 6.0) and then everything worked all right.
I think it would be wise to update the technical note on this with a warning!

I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?
