Cannot save as jpeg in CS2 after exporting from lightroom

I'm so frustrated. This began happening only a couple times here and there after starting to use lightroom (can't remember if it was the 1.4 version, or the beta version). I don't think it's my photoshop program, since I have completely re-installed it twice and reinstalled onto my computer.
Anyway, now it's happening all the time. I export images from lightroom into CS2 to make final edits, sharpen for print, crop, etc and then photoshop will not let me save it as a jpeg. I can save as a psd, or a tiff, but not a jpeg. I have tried exporting in jpeg format, or tiff format, and everything is fine until I try to save either type as a jpeg. It lets me choose the quality, 10-12 etc, then when I click OK, A red box with "could not complete your request because of a program error" pops up.
I have Vista, edit in sRGB, export in sRGB, etc..... just don't know what to do since I NEED to be able to edit and save to send to print. Please help.

basically you delete the camera raw info put into the file that trips up CS2 (but not CS3!)

Saving PSD files after exporting from Lightroom saves incorrectly

I've only recently moved to Lightroom from using Photoshop/Bridge together, so I'm not 100% sure how saving files exported from Lightroom should go. But here's what I experience:
Base edit of file within Lightroom
In library view, right click on image -> Edit in -> Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
Perform all my necessary edits and such
File -> Save As, and save it to another location as a PSD file (totally different HDD)
Perform more edits....
Shortcut CTRL+S to save, and it saves it as the TIFF file under the location it was originally in within Lightroom
Eh...? Am I missing something. It should just save as the original PSD I created when I went "Save As". I have seen on a few occasions, immediately after "Save As", the file name resorts back to TIFF and not as PSD.
My settings for External Editing in Lightroom are as follows:
File Format: TIFF
Color Space: ProPhoto RGB
Bit Depth: 16 bits/component
Resolution: 300
Compression: None
Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Also, to note, that sometimes I double click on the Smart Object within Photoshop to load Camera Raw and perform some edits, but not often.

Re Camera Raw being used to pass an image to Photoshop
a) I am assuming this is independent of the Compatibility level in Preferences\File Handling DNG creation.
b) Does the same apply to other photo editing software made by Adobe like Elements?.
Reply: Yes, the principle is the same. Photoshop Elements cannot read raw data either. That's why it has to be converted before it's opened.
c) Assume that I have LR 5.7.1 and CS5. Is Camera Raw is still used to pass an image to Photoshop? If so, why is there a need to get LR to behave differently?
Reply: Camera Raw is used IF you choose the option to open anyway. Then Camera Raw will be used to convert the image that's opened in Photoshop. But since it is older than Lightroom some of the new adjustments might not be transferred to Photoshop. That's why there is a need to let the user make the choice.
d) Sometimes it does seem as if Adobe might be using Camera Raw updates and process version updates to get consumers to change their habits, this includes having to buy subscriptions or having to change workflow to some ideal that somebody at Adobe or working with Adobe might have in mind.
Reply: The fact is that in the past, when a new version of Photoshop is released then all support and updates cease for the previous version. Since the introduction of the creative cloud, at least users of Photoshop CS6 get support for new cameras. They just don't get the new features. Yes, there's motivation to upgrade. Adobe is a business. What do you really expect?
Re stacks
I find impossible to see collapsed stacks on the film strip. Stacks are only visible on the Library module and using a grid view; I don't say clearly visible because they are only recognisable by the label at the top left corner with the image count; I don't even think it is possible to change the colour of that label or the grey colour surrounding an image. Also I cannot name stacks. If I could name stacks, see them as virtual folders underneath a library folder and make them glaringly visible I would use them extensively.
Reply: The only reason I can think of that you are unable to see collapsed stacks on the filmstrip is if you have the filmstrip reduced in size to the point that Lightroom can't display all the icons. I'm able to see the collapsed stacks in the library grid view and on my filmstrip
Re storing your Raw files and processed files in separate locations
Assuming Raw files are negatives and Photoshop files are transparencies or prints, would you want negatives being handled/read on a regular basis? If anything happens to your negatives, you would never be able to produce another print or another transparency again.
Reply: The raw files or the negatives, as you put it, are never modified by Lightroom. They always remain in their pristine state they were in when they were imported. If I have a backup of that raw file then I can do whatever I want to the one in my working folder. Resetting that raw file so that it looks unaltered is just a click away.
I have worked extensively with databases and database systems, it is a standard feature of database systems to be able to choose where to store different database objects. I don't see why LR cannot do the same, it is a database after all. I do agree with both the OP and photo.
Reply: Well, I won't argue that point. If that's what you really want than lobby for it. It just won't get my vote because I don't see any real advantage.
If you read back through this quoted message you'll find that my replies are included. I don't know how to separate them out so they are highlighted properly. Read through it and think about it. But personally, I don't want to waste anymore time on this discussion because it isn't accomplishing anything in my opinion.

Why do my pictures become blurry after exporting from lightroom 5?

My pictures become somewhat blurry or not as sharp after I export them from lightroom 5. PLEASE HELP!!!

If you are looking at your exported pictures in preview.app than that is the culprit. It uses an extremely poor downscaling algorithm for displaying large images and will make every large image, no matter how sharp originally, display blurry. In preview you can hit command-0 (that's a zero) to make the image display 1:1 to see the actual detail. Make sure you have it's preferences in the images panel set to "Define 100% scale as 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel". I think in older Mac OS X versions, it was called something like ignore image dpi for display or so but I don't remember. You can also make sure to downscale (with correct output sharpening in the export panel) upon export from Lightroom. If the exported image is smaller than the display, Preview should display 1:1 by default upon opening.

Color change after exporting from Lightroom

I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
Here is the original.
After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me. Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
>Can you upload a sample of each
>* Raw File
>* XMP Sidecar
>* Exported JPEG
I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
Thanks!

Loosing GPS Data after exporting from Lightroom 5

Hello,
When I export my pics from lightroom 5 to import to iphoto,
I loose the GPS data after the import into iphoto.
I like Iphoto because of the icloud, so I don't want to move everything
to LR5.
Is there anyway to save the GPS data or am I doing something wrong?
I am using the latest version of Iphoto.
Thanks!

Not really sure? I exported the pics after editing, but did not mess with the meta data or anything.
Am I suppossed to do something to export the data, and then import into Iphoto?
Thanks!

Problem with image after exporting from Lightroom 5

Good day. Please can someone help me? I have Lightroom 5, and I have a problem in exporting edited images. At issue, do all the necessary settings and retreat noise and sharpness adjustment by brush adjustment tool, however, to export the image, noise and some minor adjustments are lost. Because in Lightroom visualize the way you wish, but after export, is not it the same? How do I get a different result? Thank you all!

I have the same problem!
Something got broken with my Lightroom 5.6 (Windows 7Pro) two days ago and I don't see any adjustments made with brush after exporting photos!
It's not a problem of library or RAW files - the same, work fine on other computers (iMac).
I tried to clean the computer with CC Cleaner Tool, and install everything again, but it didn't help.
I already lost 2 days trying to fix it, and I don't want to format the drive and install Windows again
Can anyone help?

Missing filters after exporting from lightroom

I am currently moving my photo editing from a 32-bit WinXP machine to a 64-bit Win7 machine. For the time being, both computers have CS4 Design Premium and Lightroom 2.5 installed. All apps on both machines are currently up-to-date.
The issue, and this ONLY occurs on the 64-bit Win7 machine, is that all of my third party filters disappear when I bring a file from Lightroom into Photoshop. They aren't greyed-out. They are not listed. Period.
I've tossed out the PS preferences and made sure that both the 64-bit ver. of PS and the regular ver. of PS both point to the correct extra plugins folder.
It has nothing to do with images coming out of Lightroom in @ 16bit because they are exported that way on the XP machine as well. Filters that can't be run on 16-bit images just appear as greyed-out.
I can open an image directly in Photoshop and all of the filters are there. If I export the same image (and it doesn't matter whether I choose "edit in Photoshop" or "Open as a smart object"); if it's coming from Lightroom the filters are gone.
Does anybody have any ideas why this would occur and, more importantly, how to fix it because this is really crippling productivity.
Thank you.
M. Green

I'm not sure what you mean - did you mean save an image to 32-bit?
I don't have a way (that I know of) to control which PS exe. Lightroom sends to image to when I choose to edit in PS. I'm assuming it's going to the 64-bit app. But in any case, I don't think it should matter. I opened both PS exe's and made sure that both pointed to the same plugins folder.
I posted here because it seemed like a PS issue and I don't know what the policy is around here about cross-posting the same issue to different forums.

Ahhhh, OK.
That makes sense and I can verify that by checking whether the filters show up in the 64-bit PS. (They don't).
So both Bridge and Lightroom open the 64-bit PS app by default.
Guess I'll have to go check and see if my favorite filters have 64-bit versions.
Thank you for the answer.

Problems after exporting from Lightroom..

I have Lightroom 3 and I'm having trouble with my program. When I edit my pics the look exactly how I want but when I export them to my computer and view them in slides how mode they are faded and dull. Kind of any old time look to them. Also when I print them they look that way as well. Anyone have any idea what would be causing the change?

i just want to add that this is not an LR problem.
it is always a problem if you save an images with an colorspace other then sRGB and view it in programs that do not support color management.
especially when you save images for the WEB you should make sure that it´s sRGB.
i think the vast majority of browsers used out there is still not capable of color management.

CS4 cannot save to jpeg

Suddenly I am unable to save .psd and .tif (maybe others) to .jpeg due to 'program error'. My 'solution' for the moment is to save the .psd using maximum compatibility, then import into Lightroom, then export from Lightroom as .jpeg (ugh!)
The .psd mode is 8-bit RGB. I have 155GB of space left on the HDD. I was able to save to .jpeg a few days ago, but not now.
Seems to me like a Photoshop bug. Is there a fix?

rykowski
Can you tellme where this is
" I noticed that I was saving using jpeg-optimized (I don't know how this was set as in the past I've used jpeg-standard). So after changing to jpeg-standard, it worked!"

Cannot Open Excel File after exporting from Disco Plus

Hi there,
I got a question from one user having issue with opening Excel file after exporting from Disco Plus.
The report has been using for a while and he is using Excel 2003 version and Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.2), he never got this kind of error before, just recently got error.
After exporting from Disco Plus he saved file on his desktop and when he tries to open the excel it says "Cannot be Accessed, can be corrupted...." but this is not from network drive since he saved file on local desktop or C drive.
Also not for all reports, only this particular report and only specific parameter, for example for parameter 2008 Feb opened successfully, but for2009 Feb he gets this error when trying to open excel.
i tried in excel 2007 also , i dont think this is Excel version error, am not sure.
Also after go live last week (we upgraded database from 9i to 10g) but i am not sure this causes ,since for one parameter working, for other parameter not working.
Actually we should get one window for Macro when we try to open excel, but he is not getting it seems.
Any ideas/thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help
--skat

Rod,
Thanks for your quick response on this.
Yes, we can export to other formats as well, but actually exporting is working, after saving the file on our local desktop/drive and when we try to open we get this kind messages or we cannot open the file, we should get message window for Macro to enable/disable but for this report we are not getting this either,
Also this happens only for specific parameters,like i mentioned above it works I mean excel file opens for one set of parameters but for some other set of parameters cannot open.
For example :- when we enter FEB 2008 it works, if we enter FEB 2009 it won't open the file.
This is weird
I am still working on this issue, may be better to recreate the report again might be helpful,
Any ideas/comments/thoughts would be great
Thanks

Cannot save as jpeg

I am having trouble saving my file as a jpeg and after searching and searching I was thinking that my problem may be that it is 16 bit rather than 8 bit (it is a file I exported from Lightroom 3). I am trying to convert to 8 bit but having trouble figuring out how to do this. When I choose Image -> Mode, 8 bits is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?

If the Mode>8 bits is greyed out, then it's not a 16 bit file.
Make sure the file is in the RGB color mode.

PDFs dull in Acrobat after exporting from Indesign - again

Hi folks,
I am aware of a previous post which discussed this issue which was apparently resolved, but it appears to have reared its ugly head again. The problem - since updrading to Mavericks and the Creative Cloud, pdfs in Acrobat are very dull after export from Indesign and it is not a transparency blend or Indesign issue. I understand Adobe blamed Apple for not updating their colour management software and the reply from Adobe was:
"We have found the root cause of this issue and are in process of providing a fix. Once this is done, we will test it to make sure that it works as expected and will release an update patch for all our users."
I am running the latest version or everything but it appears to still be a problem. I have also uninstalled Acobat XI and tried earlier versions without success. I have a print job to send off tomorrow and I am very nervous about how this will print.

Sorry about that, I apparently forgot to attach the file; have done so now.
The method I'm using for creating outlines is simply to use the "Create Outlines" command under the Type menu within InDesign. Then I create my PDF files by using the Export command under the File menu and choosing the PDF/X1a option. 99% of the time I get perfect results, it's only when I try to make outline type that I encounter this problem. You'll clearly see the artifacts in question in the example attached.
I don't know whether or not the press would have printed these artifacts, as you suggest, since no printer has been willing to execute a file that shows any anomaly in the proof process. I can't say that I blame them.
Hopefully you will see what I'm talking about and can recommend a solution, though I like your idea of simply giving them a properly executed file and then telling them to get a life. It hasn't worked so far, as I unfortunately deal with a lot of Neanderthals around here, but I suppose it's worth putting forth again the next time this issue arises. It will.
By the way, no print house of my choosing is this far behind the curve, if at all. These cavemen are always printers who have long-standing relationships with my clients, and for whatever reason (generally lowest cost I'm sure), the clients think they hung the moon. We, of course, no otherwise, but it does it profit a designer to tell his client he or she is crazy for using a printer who is a decade behind the technology curve.
We cowboy up and seek solutions, eh?
