?? CS6 hangs from LR4.0 & LR4.1 never opens (hangs)

I've identifed two separate problems.
As background, in an earlier post I had suspected a virus had corrupted my mac (Lion OS) and was affecting LR4 and CS5 & 6.
With a lot of help from a supervising Apple tech advisor, I found that my mac didn't have a virus. Subsequently, I found that CS5 needed an 'uninstall/reinstall' to return to normal functionality.
Now, my baseline is that CS5 works as expected when launching from LR4.0 using the 'edit in' link.
CS6 does not. It hangs when I try to launch it from LR4.0
However, CS6 does work when accessed from LR3.
I then installed LR4.1 and tried to launch it (all by itself) and it never finishes loading the last photo viewed prior to quitting LR4(hangs).
I then deleted LR4.1 and reloaded LR4.0.
LR4.0 launched and again it successfully launched CS5 using 'edit in.'
My conclusion - on my system there are two problems - one where LR4.1hangs and then another where CS6 hangs when trying to launch from LR4.0.
I hope this helps with the development of LR4.1 and CS6. I don't know if these issues are interrelated or separate.
I'm happy to try any suggestions to help troubleshoot these issues, but for now I'll continue to use LR4.0 and CS5 for my everyday editing.

Thanks for the quick reply, our setup is with the appserver in the DMZ and the database on the LAN, so the firewall could be the issue.
Any further tips as to what I should be looking for in terms of which area of the firewall rules could be causing a problem ?
We do have internal firewall security people that I can speak to, but with my limited knowledge of firewalls and communication protocols any guidance would be appreciated.
If this is the solution I will be forever in your debt as I have been working on this for around two months without success !

Photos from LR4 cannot be opened in PSE10

Hi,
I have installed the trial versions of LR 4 and PSE 10 on my macbook. Basically, everything runs smoothly.
I have imported a test directory in my catalog for LR4, where I can access images and edit them.
However, I cannot open and transfer pictures from LR4 by context menu to PSE 10 (menu entry >Foto>edit in>Photoshop Elements).
Opening PSE10 from Finder by context menu works fine. I also configured editing pictures in another program in the LR 4 preferences.
I have tried two versions: the selection of the alias "Photoshop Elements 10", which can be found in / Applications / Adobe Photoshop Elements /.
That did not work. Then I looked into the alias, and I followed the indicated path. This leads to the file "Photoshop Elements Editor," in a subdirectory
of the above folder, / Support Files /. Unfortunately, this did not work either.
Do I miss the correct PSE10 file for the configuration? Or anything else?
Cheers
Ralf

AFAIK there were no code changes in this area between XI and DC, Are you doing all your processing on the same platform (Mac) or does the problem manifest when you move encrypted PDF between Mac and Windows. As I recall the problem that I was talking about manifest when encrypted PDFs were moved between platforms. If you do move your PDFs between platforms, then which Acrobat version do you use on which platform? Is it Acrobat DC on both Mac and Windows? On which platform/Acrobat version do you encrypt and on which platform/Acrobat version you try to open?

Open a RAW file in CS6 sent from LR4

I am running LR4 and CS6 on a PC, Windows 7 OS.
I would like to send a raw file (CR2 or .ORF) from LR using the "Edit In" mode to CS6 and have it open in ACR, or be able to open it in ACR. Is this possible, if so how?
I have tried a number of approaches, none have worked. Lightroom support told me I needed to uninstall LR and reinstall. Before that I thought I would ask the question here.
Thanks,
Allen816

Hi Allen
Simply click on your thumbnail in the Library module and then click Develop. You will then save yourself the round trip. Develop is the same as ACR.
When you click Edit In, Lightroom will render an export copy for pixel editing based upon your handling settings in the external preferences tab. Clearly you don’t want pixel editing so stay in Lightroom.

Why is it that I can open some websites and others won't open at all. It says below that the information is transferring from another site, but it never opens. Very frustrating.

I open an e-mail, click on a link, and sometimes it will open, other times it won't. If the website is given in the e-mail, I can copy and paste the site into Firefox, and it will usually open, but I want to know why a valid link won't open. Other times, I will enter an address in Firefox and I get "done" at the bottom, but I'm looking at a blank page. I'm not a technician, just an operator, so it may be a setting somewhere in the millions of settings that are default or that I have changed, but I have no clue what is causing this. Another problem that only occurs with Firefox is that if I am filling out an online shopping cart, when I'm done, there is no button to click to finish the transaction. I have to open IE, go to the same site, make the same order, and the "submit" or "order" button is there. Why in IE and not in Firefox? Any help would be most appreciated.

OK lets engage the brain here. A car is warranted from the maker of the car through the dealer that sells it.
That warranty is clearly spelled out. 3 years parts and labor, 5 year power train, 10 rust through etc. It tells you how to obtain this warranty service.
Find the warranty service conditions on Verizon Wireless and READ them.
Now you go to Best Buy and buy a Television and hook it to cable vision or Fios and it breaks down and you want the company you get TV service from to fix it? Please get real.
If you bought the device from Walmart or Best Buy or any major retailer they give you 15 days to return a defective unit. Then after that time it spells out your options. One of them is not to bring it back to them. They don't repair devices.
Now Verizon Wireless is also a retailer, they give you 14 days to return it and after that they will assist in the warranty of the device through the manufacturer. Verizon does not make phones nor repair them.
There is no customer courtesy outside of issuing a refurbished device if not physically broken and you send the other one back to complete the warranty process if under a year. If you have supplemental insurance then you go through asurian. That is pertinent information.
Just because you don't like the reply does not make it correct.
The updates come through Google, then HTC (Or other device makers), then to Verizon to push out to the devices. Verizon has nothing to do with the code of the update, nor anything regarding the devices. They provide a service of which is cellular and data services. If the devices cannot work on their service Verizon Wireless is not to blame.
Good Luck

CS5 Hangs when editing photo from LR4

Group - I just got off the phone with Adobe support and they indicated this problem is a known problem in LR4 and suggested getting help from the experts at Adobe Labs.
I was part of the LR4 beta test and never experienced this before.
The problem occurs when I try to edit a photo in CS5 from LR4 (using the 'edit in' link) on a Mac.
CS5 opens and then just hangs (my mac indicates that CS5 is not responding) and I have to use 'Force Quit.'
Are there any work-arounds. The Adobe help center indicated that the 4.1 beta may not have this problem, but they couldn't recommend it.
I tried accessing CS5 from Bridge and that produced the same 'hang' problem.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Wahooo! I think I found the problem with the hang on choosing submenus. Thanks Chris and Jeffrey for you rapid responses on this issue.
The source of the slow down is a great little utility of OS X called "RightZoom" by blazingtools. It's a cool app that lets intercepts clicks in application and folder windows on the expand button and opens the window corner to corner of the screen. It works well but sometimes does not play nice with application interfaces. I actually need a better brain cause I had an issue related with Illustrator CS4 and selecting with the direct selection tool.
There are two options to correct the delay:
1. Disable Right Zoom. - you can kill the task using activity monitor, then go to your System Prefs > Accounts > Log in items and remove RightZoom from the list.
2. You can add Photoshop to the RightZoom application exceptions list. Kill RightZoom, find the RightZoom app in your applications folder and hold the Command key down, then double click to launch which will open the configuration window. To add an application to the list of exceptions, it has to be running. So Launch Photoshop if it is not running and then you will see it as an option to Except.
I am likely just behind the times on the second issue mentioned, which is that the keystroke shortcuts listed in submenus don't have qualifier keys. Like "shift" + B to toggle through the brush options, for example.
Thanks, James.

CS6 creates tiled image when moving from LR4 and HDR Effex Pro

Just recently I've had a problem with CS6 where it creates a partial (tiled) image when "Edit In" from LR4 and when saving back to CS6 from HDR Effex Pro. THe image may have one or several retangles which may be black, white, or part of the image that's in the wrong place if that makes any sense. All software is running with current updates. I've had the software about 6 months and never incurred this problem until the last week. Help!

I've run through several scenarios and find that it's always in CS6 that I have the problem. I opened a file in all modules of Nik as well as OnOne's Perfect Photo Suite. When I go back (save) to CS6 there is always a problem. When I save in CS6 and then open up in LR the image is fine. So the file must not be corrupt, it just doesn't present it properly in CS6. The GPU driver appears to be up to date....last update was in 2011 and I've had this computer since late 2012.

Unable to move image from LR4 to CS6

This process works fine on my desktop but when I try to move an image from LR4.4 to CS6 on my new Lenovo laptop (Windows 7) nothing opens and I freeze up.

Your process sounds reasonable (I tend to right-click > edit in). I am assuming that PS CS6 works when launched independently of LR. Some troubleshooting ideas to try:
Check and modify Edit > Preferences > External Editing > Edit in... settings [general troubleshoot]
Add PS CS6 as the Additional External Editor in Edit > Preferences > External Editing > Additional External Editor and try using this instead – LR will moan about this being a duplicate [general troubleshoot]
Try the process using a different user account [troubleshoot user related config issue]
Repair (or reinstall) Photoshop CS6: Control Panel > Programs and Features > Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Repair [restore LR/PS interface config]
Restore default LR preference file (more info here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS82DA0B67-FA83-4c71-84B9-6F248A97FBE8.html and here: http://lightroomers.com/replacing-the-lightroom-preference-file/745/)

Raw image support from LR4.3 to CS4

I upgraded to LR4.3 and CS4. When I open a raw image in CS4 from LR4.3, the image quality is horrible. A message appeared that I need camera raw plugin 7.3, however, this is not available for CS4. Is there a solution to this problem or do I need to upgrade to CS6?

You updated but I'll post the following for anyone else who has the same question in future.
LR 4.3 is equivalent to Camera Raw 7.3. If LR and Ps aren't communicating well, you can export an image file from LR then open that into Ps. For 16-bit, choose TIFF with ZIP compression unless you don't mind an enormous file. 16-bit PSD is another option but its Background layer has no compression and will be the same huge size as an uncompressed TIFF.

I just upgraded from LR4 to 5 what a mistake...

Hello I hope someone can help.
I upgraded yesterday from LR4 to LR 5. Why is it so slow? If I highlight three images in my library view and right click, it takes nearly 4 seconds for the right click menu to appear, if I then select "stack", it takes another 5 - 10 seconds. i never had this problem in LR4. I have I7, plus 16 Gb Ram in win 7.
I also sometimes get a wierdly slow screen draw where the different parts of the LR interface seem to redraw in slow motion one after another, taking up to 10 seconds to complete. This is unusable. I am not impressed so far...
Any suggestions?

In most usages 5 is faster than 4. I'd start with the standard things like deleting preferences and updating video drivers.

I cannot print anything larger than a 4x5" from LR4 to my Epson 3880

No matter what I do I cannot print pictures larger than a 4x5" image from LR4 to my Epson 3880.
I have doublechecked all of my settings in the page and print sections. I have even watched various internet training on printing from LR4 including Matt Kloskowski in Kelby Training....all to no avail.
I have absolutely no problem with printing in PS CS6.

The problem continues to be exporting a photo from IPHOTO to PE 9 organizer
Why do this? You're just making life harder. If you want to use iphoto as your image manager, don't use organizer, or vice versa. If you want to use iphoto to organize your photos, set up PSE as your external editor there, or export the photos to the desktop, save the edited photos as new images and reimport them to iphoto. Using both only makes your life harder and creates problems, as you've discovered.

Merging photos to Panorama from LR4 to CS4 ?

When merging photos (RAW files) from LR3 in CS4 then all the modifications done to the photos (files) are reconized in CS4 and the Panorama has the same appearance in respect of exposure and color parameters.
When merging photos (RAW files) from LR4 in CS4 then the modifications done to the photos in LR4 (files) are not reconized in CS4 and the Panorama has the appearance of the untreated photos, same as imported. CS4 does not recognice, implement the LR4 modifications !!
I need first to export the photos to an other format and then merge them so that the LR modifications are implemented
Why that suddenly ?? This is a step back

Probably because the version of ACR in CS4 is two versions behind the raw processing engine used by default in LR4? So, I assume you're using PV2012 in LR4 (e.g. with the new basic panel sliders), but ACR 5.7 can only recognise PV2003 and PV2010, and is therefore not able to correctly render the images as per your develop settings. (If you're not using PV2012 in LR4 however then it's a bit of a mystery...)
As you've discovered, the only way around this is to first use LR4 to render the images to TIFF/PSD, and then subsequently load them into CS4 for panorama stitching. The alternative would be to use PV2003/2010 for the raw images you wish to stitch together, but that would mean missing out on the superior PV2012 rendering.
If you upgrade to CS6 this will cease to be an issue.

Opening from LR4 into Photoshop

Is anyone else suddenly having issues with opening an adjusted image from LR4 into Photoshop, and the adjustments not showing up? Never had this problem, even in beta versions. I have checked "open in Photoshop with LR adjustments. Been using Lightroom since the original beta.

I believe there is a problem until a Photoshop update occurs. I make changes in LR
command E" to import to Photoshop when the dialogue box appears with this option "Render Using Lightrom" I choose it. It brings LR edited Photos inot PS with your changes.
Hope this works and I got it right, works for me.

Republish to Flickr from LR4 posts as new photos instead of updates them (only one set, not all)

I have a single set on Flickr that I cannot republish updates to from LR4 - republishing a modified photo posts it as a new photo. All other sets seem to work fine. I use the "built-in" Flickr plugin and LR4.3 with a Flickr Pro account. This issue started with LR4.2 when I got my Nikon D800. I've tried just about everything I can think of and have been searching for any similar problems for months and decided to finally ask for help myself.
Back in October I created a set of an event, and published the photos to Flickr without issue. A week later I wanted to republish a few photos and noticed that they instead published to the set as new. If I mark to republish, yet another copy is posted as new. After some testing, this is only for images in this one particular set - any other images in any other set update their existing version as expected.
After a while I began to wonder if the machine tag I added was causing it (active:event=) so I removed the tag from the image on both sides and tried to republish again with the same results.
Naturally I delete the new copy of the image from Flickr which then dissassociates the LR photo with anything on Flickr. I found another (cludgy) plugin which can associate photos in LR with photos on Flickr and that fixes the link between the two. But again, republish from LR and a new copy shows up.
Any ideas? This has been driving me nuts. I haven't found any special permissions or settings on the Flickr set or within LR which would explain why this one set is affected and no others. I don't want to delete the set on Flickr and lose the history. I'm trying to avoid having to manually update the images on Flickr where I would also have to manually update the titles, etc.

This has happened for LR4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and now LR5. The seemingly random nature of this bug is irratating. Last week while still on LR4.4 I published a photo, changed it, and was able to republish it without issue. Today on LR5 I published a set and went to republish a handful of photos only for them to be added as new photos to the set. LR5 indicated that they were photos to republish and not new ones to the set.

I'm using a Mac. I "upgraded" to LR5 from LR4. I do not want to be a member of the "Creative Cloud". I just want to use the software I purchased, specifically to upload to my SmugMug account. Is there a way to use an add-on to do this? Aperture and LR4 were easy but I'm finding it impossible without subscribing to CC.

Sorry, maybe I don't understand, but why do you feel compelled to subscribe to CC if you already have a permanent Lightroom 5 licence?
For the SmugMug plugin, a simple Google search ("smugmug lightroom plugin") gives this link to download the plugin: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/121321
Another way is to click the button "Find more services online..." in the the Publish Service section of Lightroom, and to search for SmugMug in the Adobe Add-ons portal; you will find a link to the latest plugin: https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/1755

Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud,

Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud, is that possible from LR5 to LR6? Thanks so much.
