Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable.

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!

I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected. I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset.

Opening jpg in photoshop from lightroom

I have Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop CS6. If I'm viewing a photo in LR and select edit in CS6, the photo doesn't open in camera raw, even though I have CR selected in photoshop preferences as my preference. Is this normal?

You cannot open directly into ACR from Lightroom. Lightroom and ACR perform the same functions. In the transfer from Lightroom to Photoshop the design is for ACR to simply interpret the adjustments made in Lightroom, and apply those adjustments to the image that is opened in Photoshop. Technically speaking, ACR isn't needed for anything else because it is simply a duplication of effort. So if you want to return or enter ACR, you have to do as Rick indicated, and double click on the smart object in the layers panel.

Cannot Install Adobe Updates / Cannot Open Files in Photoshop from LR

Hi,
I cannot seem to update the programs that show need to be updated. My computer shows I need to update Adboe Bridge CS5, Extension Manager, Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw, but get the following error every time: "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."
I figure this is part of the reason why I cannot edit a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop. When I try to edit in Photoshop, the program opens up but the image doesn't appear. When I try to open the image directly in Photoshop, I get the following error: "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw."
I assume the two issues are related, but how can I get past this if I can't update Camera Raw?
I'm running on Yosemite and have Photoshop CS5 and LR 3.
Thanks for any help!

The updater for older versions don's work well, if at all, anymore. Update the manually:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
If you upgraded to Yosemite with CS5 installed, you may want to uninstall and re-install CS5 before doing the above. You can find the CS5 downloads here: Download CS5 products

Opening files in ACR from Lightroom

I am looking for the way to open JPEG and CR2 files in Adobe Camera Raw from Lightroom.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You can't, or at least not easily. Would you like to explain why you want to do that? Remember that the Develop module in Lightroom uses the same processing engine as ACR, so not sure what would be gained by being able to open files into ACR directly from Lightroom.

Problems opening files when jumping from Lightroom 3

Hello,
I've been editing exclusively with LR3 since I switched over to Mac from PC a few months ago. I finally got around to buying and installing PSE 9 for Mac today and set it up as an external editor in Lightroom. However, when I try to jump from LR to PSE, the file doesn't open. PSE opens, but no photo. When I close PSE and go back to Lightroom, there are additional copies of the file there, suggesting that the file did in fact go over to PSE, but I couldn't see it.
Any tips on what I might be doing wrong or what I should try? I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks!
Jaye

Hi Jaye
This may be a Mac problem as some users on 10.6.4 have experienced erratic behavior with the PSE9 Editor. There are definitely bugs with OS6 and some Mac users have even switched back to OS5.
The problem seems to disappear if both Organizer and Editor are in the dock. You may have no need of Organizer if you use Lightroom but it’s worth a try to see if you experience any change in behavior.
Use Finder to locate the Organizer application and place it in the dock along with the Editor.
The usual sequence from Lightroom after selecting a raw photo in the Library is:
Cmd+E (select edit with light room settings and choose 8 bit tiff or PSD)
Edit Image in PSE9
Cmd+S (to save and click OK to overwrite the file created by Lightroom)
Cmd+W to close in PSE9
Return to Lightroom to view your edit.
PSE9 has limited support for large 16 bit files and you can’t use layers which is why I recommend selecting 8 bit.

When opening image in Photoshop from Lightroom "edit it," it defaults to TIF format

When I open an image in Photoshop CC by using the "edit with" command in Lightroom 5, after editing, the file will default to a TIF image rather than PSD. This ends up creating large, duplicate files (TIF and PSD) after I correct the problem.
Isn't there a way to ensure Photoshop CC defaults to a PSD regardless of where it's opened.
I do not use any editing or image-adjusting features in Lightroom. Nothing is changed in a photo until I edit in Photoshop. I open with RAW in photoshop.
I'm using Windows 8.1 with plenty of memory and disk space.
Thanks

Hi EJToll,
If you like to set the default file format of the file you Edit in Photoshop CC thorugh Lightroom then perform following steps.
Lanuch Lightroom and go to Edit> Preference(Windows) Lightroom>Peference(Mac)
Click "External Editing" tab
Change the option for "File Format" to PSD as deafult format for Edit In Adobe Photoshop CC
Click "Ok" button
Hope this helps.

Opening files in photoshop from Iphoto

I am switching over from Photoshop Cs3 on a PC to CC on a Mac. Huge adjustment. My question is, how the heck do I open or drag and drop photos from iphoto into photoshop? I can seem to be able to get the programs to work hand in hand. Anyone else having this issue?

You can't.
iPhoto does not play nice with any other application. It buries and hides your image files in what Apple calls "Packages" that no other software can access.
You need to launch iPhoto first, then relaunch it and EXPORT copies of all the images you want to open or edit in any other application.

Opening file in Photoshop with Lightroom edits doesn't work anymore

I have LR5.3 and PS CS6. Since I've updated camera Raw, my files won't open as Tiff files when I want to edit them in Photoshop. Hence, all the edits made in LR before won't be kept. I don't see the window saying "Open in PS with Lightroom edits"???? Anybody had the same problem? In LR Preferences, Tiff is preciser as the file format to edit in PS but it doesn't work

Have a look at this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1385332?tstart=0
Does that help??

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information such as bookmarks and history.
Note: ''But this will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Problems with files opened in Photoshop from Lightroom

Hi,
I started editing a large number of files recently and came upon strange problems when sending files to Photoshop from Lightroom:
1. Sometimes, all edits will be transferred to Photoshop except for the Lens Profile Correction. I tried clearing all changes and starting again, and it didn't work. However, if Lens Profile Correction is the ONLY change I make in Lightroom, it is correctly shown when the file is opened in Photoshop. [EDIT: I thought it was only the Lens Profile Correction, but with some files it appears other edits are disappearing too, such as cropping.]
2. Sometimes, and I can't seem to find any pattern for this, files I sent to Photoshop will open as only "slices" of images. In fact, there is only one sliver of the image that gets opened. Sometimes it is a vertical line, sometimes a horizontal line, usually about 1/20 as thick as it is long. For that problem, I haven't found a solution yet.
I am using the latest versions of Lightroom, Photoshop and Camera Raw, with RAW files created with a Nikon D7000 camera, on an iMac from 2011. I have no software or hardware problems apart from this.
Here's hoping someone can help.
Thanks!

Missing photos when opening multiple files into Photoshop from LR3.2

When I try to open multiple files (8+ maybe) from Lightroom 3.2 to edit in Photoshop CS5, almost always one or two photos does not open. This means I have to manually find out which photos are missing, and then reopen them.
Can anyone help me with this problem??

I have opened as many as 50 from external hard drive with LR 3.2 and Windows XP with no problem.
It takes a long time to bring in this many if they are 100MB tiffs. I had to go have coffee and come back later.
Are you sure you waited until it was finished?

When I open an image in Photoshop from Lightroom it does not show any adjustments, without restarting photoshop between each picture.

I am using Macbook Pro, Photoshop CC, and Lightroom 5.
The problem is: When I start edit in photoshop from Lightroom, the adjustment in Lightroom does not showing up in Photoshop. This has never been happen before while using Photoshop 6.
I have tried to reinstall the products several times, including OS Yosemite. But it does not help.

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

Selecting the first file from a group of opened files in Photoshop

Hi, I've been digitizing microfiche with 200 or so pages photographed onto one image file, laid out in a grid pattern. I've been using actions in Photoshop to cut out one page, create a new file in Photoshop from that page, then return to the first, master file and do it again with the next page in the series. So when it is complete I have each individual page as an individual image file which I then save with a batch process. I've been doing this for a while and have managed to make it work but I always run into the problem, when creating this action again, of getting Photoshop to select that first master file each time instead of selecting just the previous file. I know I can get it to select the previous file, or the previous file -1, -2, -3, etc. I've somehow been able to get this to work in the past by creating an action that selects a large enough group back, like previous file -19 or something, and through some bug or sheer luck it has worked and will always select that first file. But it doesn't always work and it always takes some frustration to luck into it when it does. Now I can't seem to get it to work at all. Is there a straightforward way I can simply tell it to select the first file everytime? If not, does anyone know how or why the method I used previously sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and how I can make it work again? I'm using PS CS5 in Windows 7. Thanks!

Just put this code on a file and put that 'namedfile.jsx' inside the scripts folder on photoshop.
Open or re-open photoshop to load the script and create an action linked to a shortcut selected by you and save this script going to File>Scripts>namedfile.jsx
It is just to press the shortcut key and the active image go back to the image opened before.
When it is the first one it runs the script the same but it remains there.
Here is the script:
// Go back to the previous opened image
#target photoshop
// Go back to the previous opened image (not the previous viewed) . If it is the first, it remain there.
if(documents.length>0) {
    var thisIndexImage = getActiveDocumentIndex();
    var theDocs = app.documents;
    if ( thisIndexImage != 0 ) {
        var flatAnterior = theDocs[thisIndexImage - 1];
        } else {
        var flatAnterior = theDocs[0];
    app.activeDocument = flatAnterior;
} else {
    alert ("You must have opened images to run this script.")
// Get the active document number - the number of opening order
function getActiveDocumentIndex(){
     var ref = new ActionReference();
     ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
     return desc = executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('itemIndex'))-1;
If you want to go directly to the first of all the images (in opening order) it is simpler:
Just create this script:
var first = app.documents[0];
app.activeDocument = flatAnterior;

Has anyone had difficulties opening up an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CC?

Has anyone had difficulties opening up an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CC?

Hi Tom,
Kind of you to reply. My 'titles' conform, as they always have done. I've used a few versions of PSE over the years. Pics edited in an older version opened up no probs on ipad.
When I upgraded my camera a few years ago I had to upgrade PSE because the updated codec for shooting raw was not available for downloading to earlier versions of the programme. The same occurred again with another camera upgrade, which is why I am using PSE12 now.
Cheers
