Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS without saving the file

When I do "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS" of a RAW file, LR saves a TIFF or PSD file first, then opens it with PS CS. LR should give an option to forward the picture to PS CS through some in-memory inter-process communication, as opposed to saving the photo from LR and re-open it from PS CS. It might be much faster.
In case, I understand LR would not give the option to stack the edited file with the RAW file.

>all I want to do is run an action in PS that converts to jpg with a particular filter applied.
Then turn it into a droplet (you do know how to do that?) and put it in the Exprt Actions Folder and call for it in a Export Preset set for the JPEG you want.
LR will then on Export run the droplet and save to the folder of your choice.

See PDF attachments without saving the file

Until a couple of weeks ago, I click on the attachment and the Adobe program will open the file and after that I decided if want to save the file.
Now, when I click on the attachment, I get the "Save file" screen.
then I have to open Adobe and go to where the file was saved to see the attachment.
How can I see an attachment without saving it?

Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the files.

Trying to edit video but Photoshop cs6 wont open the VOB files. I tried to change the extension to AVI and then drag it in. It works but it's distorted. All the heads in the photo are narrow and tall. Can anyone help me figure this thing out? I'm sooo frustrated! Thanks

I assume these came from a DVD? Was this DVD an encrypted holywood DVD or a home video that you got of something like sky diving? You'll probably need photoshop extended to switch pixel aspect ratios. Or convert them into a format that photoshop understands with a 1.0 pixel aspect ratio. Do you have access to adobe media encoder?

Is data stored anywhere in the system without SAVEing the file manually

Hello All,
I need to know whether the data is saved anywhere even before I save the document manually ?
If so, where can I find that temporarily saved data?
Ex: While writing any WORD document, you can see the draft version of any file saved after 2 mins without save.
Regards,
Vijaya

Hi, data is not stored in system without SAVEing the program.
However, if you have pressed F8 ( executed the program without saving), then a message come REPS<reportname> temporarily saved (program gets buffered for temporary compilation) .
If after this you close your session and try to open the report in new session, a popup would come giving you option of using saved version or temporary version.
This is the closest SAP gets to MS WORD file crash recovery style.

Lr 4.1 won't "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4" properly

Hello,
Using Lr 4.1 w/ Camera RAW 7.1 and Photoshop CS4 11.0.2... When I try to edit a RAW file in Ps as I always have in Lr 3.x (Right click film strip >> Edit In >> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4) I get the following message:
This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.7 for full compatibility. Please update the Camera Raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu. [Button options are: Render using Lightroom, Open Anyway, and Cancel.]
Render using Lr just keeps me in Lr, doesn't open Ps.
Open Anyway opens Ps, but not the image.
Using Ps >> help >> updates: says there are no updates.
But help >> About plug-in >> Camera Raw: shows it is only Version 5.7.0.213
Interestingly, if I go back to Lr and hit Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4 >> "Render using Lr" and then immediately do it again, this time clicking "Open Anyway" it actually DOES open the image in Ps. I can edit and then when I save it takes a long time to write the TIFF format (several times longer than when previously editing through Lr 3.x),
Is there a fix for this so I don't need to do multiple steps to edit from Lr to Ps? And is there a way to update the Camera Raw in Ps from 5.7.0.213 to 6.7 since Ps>>help>>updates doesn't catch it?
Thanks!
Mike

You are going to have to render using lightroom in order to use the latest ACR updates since you can no longer get ACR updates for PS CS4. But when you click on Render using LR, it still should open in CS4 I would think. You might be able to fix this by telling LR that you have another editing program, CS4, and then select it instead of the generic photoshop at the top of the this. But I would not think that you would have to do this.

LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

Is there a fix for this? When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image. In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal. This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release. I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.
System
Lightroom 4.2 x64
Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64
Windows 7 Pro x64
AMD Six Core / 3.9 Ghz
16 GB Memory
NVidia Quadro 1 Gb Video
Scratch space on three drives

This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files. LR4 released at the same time as the D800. LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool. Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop. LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems. As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.

Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

When in Lightroom 5 and I select "edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014" it doesn't create a copy in tif or psd format (or jpg format) like it did in previous versions. A box use to pop up allowing me to set the file type, color space etc then in Lightroom I would get a second file (filename-edit.xxx) and photoshop would open that file for editing. I am very use to this workflow from my previous versions of LR 4 and cs3... Any help is appreciated!

By the time the image is open in Photoshop is no longer raw image data. You are not working on the raw file in Photoshop. The only difference in your workflow is when that TIF file is saved. Since Lightroom and Photoshop are in sync the saving of that secondary file is postponed until the end of the Photoshop session. But any work you do in Photoshop is saved to the TIF file. The only difference is the point at which the file is saved. So you really don't have to change your workflow at all. Photoshop, by itself, cannot do anything with the raw image data.
To expand a little further, Photoshop cannot edit raw image data. When an image is sent from Lightroom to Photoshop, Camera Raw is used to interpret the adjustments that have been made in Lightroom. The image is then converted to a standard RGB image. When Photoshop and Lightroom are "in sync" that converted image is sort of "suspended" in Photoshop. You make the adjustments using Photoshop, and then the image is saved to a TIF or PSD file depending on your Lightroom preferences. When Lightroom is newer than Photoshop/Camera Raw then Lightroom will give you the choice of creating the TIF image that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments, or to open the image in Photoshop. If you choose the latter, then the image will be opened without creating the TIF, but all of the adjustments you made in Lightroom may not be applied because you are using an older Camera Raw. That may or may not create a problem. Something that you will have to decide.

Transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac.

I want to transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac. My problem is I have lost my catalog and Windows XP. I need help.
I have installed the newest Mac version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE 12 Mac) and it seems to work fine but I have not been able to access my old (XP, PSE6) catalog file.
I am working on a MacBook Air running OSX version 10.9.2. I have been using Parallels Desktop 9 Switch-to-Mac-Edition™ to run Windows virtual machines. I had been working for over a year running Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP virtual machine. The XP operating system was updated to 2/28/14.
When I installed Windows 8, the Parallels program initially offered me a choice of virtual machines, Window XP or Windows 8. I could use the XP version to work with Photoshop Elements 6 as before and thought I could be leisurely about transferring my Photoshop operations to the Mac side.
However, without my knowingly doing anything to dispose of Windows XP, I have “lost” Windows XP. Perhaps it occurred when I updated to Windows 8.1. At any rate, now I have access only to Windows 8.1.
To compound the problem the Time Machine backup program for the Mac was not backing up the XP virtual machine files as I had thought. I have since corrected the settings but I do not have a copy of Windows XP nor of the Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog which I used in the past.
Moreover, I do not have a workable Windows XP disk; the only one I could find is from Dell and it does not load on my MacBook Air. I see Windows XP disks offered by Amazon for about $30 and have thought about buying a copy to help see if I could accomplish the transfer of the catalog file to my Mac. I would use XP only to accomplish this transfer.
I am not completely confident that reinstalling Windows XP would actually enable me to do the transfer and I can foresee potential big problems. Therefore, before taking that step I thought that I would check with you to see if there is a way to find the catalog file and perhaps to modify it so that I could work in the Mac Environment.
I have used Elements to improve and organize over a thousand travel and family photos taken with a pocket size digital camera. Being a nonprofessional, I have edited mainly by cropping and using Quick Fix but have many hours invested. Yes, I still have the originals and probably could have redone much of that work with the time I have invested in trying to find the missing XP and catalog.
I have found two large HDS files (Windows XP.hdd and Windows XP (2).hdd) that were created 7/15/12. I suspect they may be important but am not sure what they are. I read that HDS files are commonly Windows media digital rights management files, DRMs. HDS files may also be used by hierarchical data systems. Do the names suggest anything about Photoshop?
Can you help me find the catalog and transfer it for use with the Mac Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC

When I have an image in Lightroom 5 that I want to edit in Photoshop, if i use Photo> Edit In> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC I get a message that Photoshop can not be opened. If I launch Photoshop first, then the Edit In command will send the image to Photoshop. This problem has only developed recently. Until a couple of weeks ago I had no problem with the command. I have done all the updates to both Lightoom and Photoshop as I am notified. I currently am running Lightroom 5.3 on a Mac using OS 10.9.1. I was advised by Adobe in there Live Chat sectuon to un-install Bridge, Lightroom and Photoshop then re-install all three. This I did, which took several hours. The problem is still there. What can I do?

Did you reinstall Lightroom last? If you didn't, try reinstalling Lr again.

Lightroom does not open photoshop using "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command.
Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them. The
“Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
Is there a way to fix this? I use this feature frequently.

In reply to DdeGannes:
What’s broken? -- The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
Was it working before? Yes.
What happens if you click? - Nothing.
Do you get an error message? - No.

Edit in Adobe Photoshop is not working

Hi,
I have this strange problem with Lightroom/Photoshop integration. It is easier to describe what is working than what is not. When I select a single JPG or PSD photo from Lightroom integration works ok. I can open the photo directly as "Edit in Adobe Photoshop" and PS opens and it opens the photo. However if I select DNG photo or try to open a photo as smart object or select multiple images and try to open them as layers in PS, then PS lauches but PS doesn't open the image(s).
If I create an additional editor and select PS there with same defaults as the default one, I can open DNG photos in PS using that. Obviously that doesn't help with open smart objects, layers, panoramas or HDR.
I am running latest version of Lightroom (3.5) and Photoshop (12.0.4) on my MacBook with OSX 10.7.2. I had the same problem last week and the restarting my computer helped. Now it doesn't... I have searched solutions for this problem and people have previously suggested for removing the preferences file (plist), I tried that with LR and PS, no help. I have reinstalled both programs, but the problem still persists.
Any suggestions?
Kari

Thanks, I saw that already. Tried both of the suggestions... Didn't help
I just tried to restore all Adobe related preferences (to ~/Library/Preferences from TimeMachine which are about two weeks old. That doesn't seem to help either.
