Edit from Lightroom 4 to Elements 10

I recently purchased Lightroom 4 and tried to edit in Elements 10. I got the same error message that has become popular on many forums. Has Adobe come up with a fix for this yet? If not, what is the timeframe for the fix? I purchased Lightroom 4 with the intent of editing in Elements so this is very frustrating. Also, what is RC2 that I have seen referred to on many posts? Thanks for your help.

Have a read of the Lightroom Journal website where all the recent official information is available. The articles there will clarify the present situation.

How do I take an edited photo from lightroom 5 to elements 12?

How do I take an edited photo from lightroom 5 to elements 12?

Marsha, you seem to be a bit confused or perhaps uninformed about how Lightroom works. Lightroom should be at the beginning of your workflow. Whether you are working on raw images or JPEG, or whatever, Lightroom is where you should begin. None of the adjustments that you make using Lightroom are applied to the image. They are saved in the catalog progressively as you work on the image. Photoshop Elements sits in a secondary position in the typical workflow. In Lightroom, there is an option to "Edit in", and Photoshop Elements or Photoshop or whatever editor you have chosen will be one of the choices. You go to Elements to do things that cannot be done or can be done more efficiently in the other program. When you have finished making the adjustments in Elements a new copy of the image containing both the Lightroom adjustments and the Elements adjustments will be created, and will be added to the Lightroom catalog.
If you want an edited copy of your image in Elements than you would want to use the export function in Lightroom to export a copy that would include all adjustments that have been made. A typical workflow would be to maintain your master set of images, including copies created by Elements because of additional editing in that program, and then export JPEG copies suitable for posting on the web, for e-mail, or for sending to a lab to be printed. After those copies that were exported have been used for their intended purpose, they can be deleted, and you only have your master images to maintain in case there are other adjustments or new approaches in the future.

Hi,
For Windows, in Lightroom preferences for external editing, have you added a custom setting for the elements 12 editor?
Click on the Choose button and navigate to the editor
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
[omit the (x86) if on 32bit system]

As with others I can't export from Lightroom 4 to Elements 10 or any of the Nik products except HDR

As with others I can't export from Lightroom 4 to Elements 10 or any of the Nik products except HDR Efex pro. Surely this has been fixed? If not it is appalling. It has been going on for too long in a program that has supposed to have some integrity

I am able edit pictures in PSE (Photoshop elements) 10 BUT i am unable to edit videos in PRE (premiere elements) 10. I will uninstall LR 4.1 RC1 and then install RC2 and use a backup of the catalog. Lets see if that works.

Elements won't open when trying to edit from Lightroom

I was trying to move two photos from Lightroom to Elements to edit. I click on the photos, tell it to edit in Elements and it goes thru the process, says complete, but Elements will not open???? I recently changed the default editor to CS5 with the alternate as Elements. Any ideas?
Thanks

Oops, answered my own question. Seems when I set up preferences, I goofed and somehow didn't get the correct app. Sorry

I cannot get a picture to transfer from lightroom 5 to elements 13 premium to edit?

I have up dated lightroom and have just installed elements and whenever I try to edit by transfering a copy from lightroom to elements I get a waring pop up that says it cannot read in any format i choose. (psd.tiff etc) ??

When you click Cmd+E a dialog appears and you choose to export toPSE as PSD or tif with Lightroom settings. LR usually adds the word Edit to the original file name.
After you finish in editing in Elements and press Cmd+S to save you should get prompted to overwrite the existing file. You must say yes e.g. to overwrite the file that Lightroom exported to PSE. If you choose a different name or file format then Lightroom won’t know anything about it.
Finally when you Press Cmd+W the image should close in Elements and your PSE adjustments will show up on the Lightroom copy. Use that for print, slideshow or to export a jpeg from Lightroom.

Sending images from lightroom 5 to elements 12 for panorama.

Hello. I have elements 12 and lightroom 5 installed. I go to send 5 images from lightroom to send to elements to do the pano. When I select the 5 images I want I click go to edit and then select merge in panorama. It then opens up elements 12 but after waiting for some time the images font show up. It used to work but now it don't. In lightroom 5 I have it set in the presences right so my external editor is elements 12. After a while I looked in my pictures section in windows and lo and behold all my images that I have sent to elements to do psn os with are in pictures section as raw files. So lightroom is sending them but not to my external editor.
Can someone please help me this is very frustrating.
thanks for any help you can offer me.

Which version of Lightroom 5 do you have?
Which version of camera raw are you using in photoshop elements 12?
In Lightroom what are the preferences at the top of the External Editing tab set to?
I realize that yours may be different, because you don't have photoshop installed, but here even though photoshop cc 2014 is on this machine, as long as i have pse 12 and not cc 2014 open before
choosing Photo>Edit in>Merge to Panorama in Photoshop, it does work for pse 12 with nikon nef files (camera raw files), but it uses the preferences at the top of the external editing tab instead of the ones below.
So if the Bit Depth is not set to to 8 bits/channel then photomerge doesn't work.

Edit In Lightroom, catalogue in Elements 10. Can this be done?

I have 55,000 images catalogued in Elements 10 (took me three months to finish the job) and I now want to switch to Lightroom for editing whilst retaining my PS catalogue. Can I therefore, import initially into Lightroom (from camera), edit, then export to Elements?
Alternatively, would it be better to simply save my current catalogue of 'destructed' images and begin a new grand catalogue in Lightroom?
Cheers

In my opinion, the only sensible choice is to upgrade the PSE10 catalog to a Lightroom catalog, and then do your organizing there. There really is NO smooth easy way to allow photo from a PSE catalog to be edited in Lightroom. The PSE Organizer was not designed to send photos to Lightroom's Develop Module. (However, the other way around, Lightroom's Library Module was designed to work with the PSE Editor.)
Can I therefore, import initially into Lightroom (from camera), edit, then export to Elements?
This is takes extra work for each photo, and I discourage you from doing this, since as stated, there are much better options. Furthermore, I don't see any benefit of doing this, compared to import into LR, edit in LR, leave in LR. What benefit do you see?
Alternatively, would it be better to simply save my current catalogue of 'destructed' images and begin a new grand catalogue in Lightroom?
Absolutely not. You don't want to lose all the work that you have already done and then re-do it. And you want all of your photos in a single catalog (and in my opinion, that should be the Lightroom catalog).
As I said, the easiest choice is to upgrade the PSE catalog to a Lightroom catalog, and then do your organizing and editing in Lightroom. Use PSE as an auxiliary editor for those situations where you need more power than the Lightroom editor. What objection do you have against this?
I have read just the opposite of what you say - that Lightroom is a 'light' version of Photoshop Elements
This is baloney. Lightroom was designed to be different that either PSE or Photoshop, it is a large set of capabilities and strengths, and is not a "light" version of anything. Furthermore, if your thought process was based on this non-truth that Lightroom is a "light" version of PSE, then you will be led in the wrong direction (which apparently, you have been). You need to evaluate each software based on its capabilities, and determine which one meets your needs the best, rather than evaluate the software on misleading words like "light version".

Sending Raw files from Lightroom 4 to Elements

Hi,
I am using the trial version of Photoshop Elements 11.
However, I can't send Raw files directly to Elements from Lightroom 4. Only PSD, Tiff or Jpegs.
I have downloaded the latest camera Raw plug ins so both Elements and Lightroom have Camera Raw 7.3.
Please can anyone help.

Hi,
Lightroom 4 doesn't contain a native ability to do what you are asking, but I wrote a plugin that might help you do what you want. It's called TPG Elemental. It helps with those many situations (e.g. creating panoramas or opening files in layers) where creating intermediate files on disk is pointless and just creates more work (or consumes more disk space) for you to manage.

Save as DNG in Photoshop when editing from Lightroom

When transfering from Lightroom 2 to Photoshop CS3 (Windows) and after editing as a smart object in Photoshop how do I save the file back into Lightroom as a DNG file

You cannot save DNG files from photoshop. This is because DNG lacks the support for the features you need.

Editing from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS5

HELP!
My Lightroom 4 is not working great these days.
1 - When importing my photos from my memory cards, my "Catologue" area in Lightroom is GONE, no where to be found. How can I recover this!? It was pretty important to me to have this option.
2 - When I am wanting to edit a Lightroom 4 photo (CR2 file) into Photoshop (CS5), it wont work. What will happen is Photoshop will open, that photo I edited WONT save back into my Lightroon Library, it will save into my "PICTURES" section on my MAC laptop. What I want it to do, as its done before, is save it as a edited JPEG right back into LIGHTROOM so all my images are together. This is getting extremely frustrating !! I NEEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET PLEASE ANYONE!

Moving edits from lightroom 2.2 to cs3

i'm having issues with moving edited images from LR 2.2 to CS 3 with the right mouse click (right click moves pics from lr to cs for more editing)
seems lightroom or cs is hanging up. either way, cs isn't receiving the image.
i had deleted the old lr 2.2 and re-installed 2.2 again in hopes of solving the adjustment brush hang ups..now this is a new issue ugh... :(
signed,
frustrated

Deleting Preferences may have a better effect. Onna Mac, Cmd-E opens a LR RAW file in PS. Are you talking about the contextual menu you get by right clicking on an image?

Problems editing from lightroom to CS3

Hi everyone,
This has quite possibly been addressed in the forums already, but I'm at the stage where I need this fixed now and don't have the time to sift through the existing discussions. I hope that's ok?
I really hope that someone can help me out here. I've tried everything I know already before bothering others to help.
My problem is I'm running a new Lightroom 2 program at work and for some reason it won't convert the RAW files to PSD's for editing in CS3. It doesn't even offer the "What to edit Dialogue" after right clicking on the photo in the flimstrip and choosing "edit in Photoshop CS3". Therefore I don't have the option to "edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" or "stack with original"....there's nothing. Lightroom immediately transfers the RAW file straight to CS3. In the past it has always converted the RAW file to a PSD. The "Preparing File for Editing" which appears in the top left of the screen also does not appear. After the editing process in CS3, the filmstrip in Lightroom doesn't have stacks of processed photos either...just the original RAW file exists.
I also run lightroom on my computer at home.....with no problems what-so-ever. I even went as far as to copy all the preferences from my home computer to compare with the computer at work. Still no luck. Now for the first week using this on the work computer, I never had any problems....all of a sudden I'm noticing the changes....like in the last week or so. I don't know if some of the settings have been altered by another user, but this is frustrating me no end!!!
Any help or solutions would be greatly appreciated.....I thank you in advance and hope someone can help
Cheers.......SHARON GALLAGHER

Jim thanks for the reply. It's possible that the option not to show the dialogue has been checked....so probably explains why it no longer appears. Since my home program is working fine, I copied all the preferences from there to the work computer like I said. But maybe I missed something??
But the file that lightroom sends to photoshop is indeed a NEF file. (I'm Nikon). In all the external editing preferences in Lightroom, I've chosen PSD files....NEF isn't even there as an option!
There is a status bar that appears in the top left corner of the screen in Lightroom showing the progress of the conversion of files from RAW to PSD (or TIFF) as the program prepares the RAW files for editing in CS3......it's the same as the status that appears when the originals are being imported into Lightroom.....but this doesn't happen appear! There is no conversion taking place the file name is still a NEF file one opened in CS3.
When I finish editing in CS3, only then do I get the option to save changes......and even then the message is - "Do you want to save changes to
****.NEF before closing?" It is after I click "Yes" to this option in CS3 that the file appears as a PSD File. So something strange is happening here.
Is there a way to reset everything factory defaults? Where do I find that option?
Thanks again for your help

Photomerge Panorame from Lightroom 5 to Elements 12?

After selecting 6 images in LR 5 and edit in>photomerge to panorama, LR5 creates 6 PSDs. Elements opens but images never appear in Elements.
I'm using Windows 7.

Check your Lightroom settings under:
Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing
Click the choose button for additional external editor and make sure you have selected the editor application (exe) file.

Transfer of edits from Lightroom to Bridge

I've edited lots of photos in raw in Lightroom (Rated / cropped / adjustments etc.) When viewed in Bridge, the editing does not appear in some cases. The metadata is held in xml files, I can see them. I have even ticked the 'Save metadata to file option'. Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but it is clearly frustrating as the results are inconsistent!

The presence of XMP files does not guarantee that the metadata is up to date.
I would resave metadata to file and see whether this fixes the problem.
All develop edits writen to XMP files should be fully interpretable by ACR and Bridge.
