Edit in CS4 Problem.

For some reason when I right click on a an image in LR and go to edit in photoshop I don't get any options anymore like I used to .It opens in CS4 as a raw file and not a tiff. I haven't changed anything. Does anyone know why?
It's a problem because now when I want to brush in some adjustments via Nik's vivenza etc. plug-ins-I can't-just like if I open it as a smart object from LR.
Thanks.

That has been the case ever since LR 2.0. You will only get the dialog when you open a non-RAW file. When you edit a RAW file, it will always open it directly. It will use it's own ACR to render into a 16-bits prophoto standard tiff file (the default, change it in LR preferences). The title is just a temporary tag until you save the file in Photoshop, which is when it will change automatically into .tif. In the contextual menu in Lightroom you should also be able to choose whether you want a smart object or a normal file to be opened. If your plugins don't work, it probably has nothing to do with Lightroom. Do these plugins not support 16-bit files?

  • Quality of .nef LR files Degrading after Edited in CS4 and saved as .tif?

    After I edit a .nef picture in LR, I right click  and select "edit in CS4".  I do my edits in CS4 (usually cloning) and I choose to save the image in CS4, it automatically appears as a .tif in Lightroom with the same rating/color coding that I gave to the original .nef Lightroom file that I decided to edit in CS4. 
    But, in the .tif in LR, I lose some of the edits to the .nef picture that I did in Lightroom.  I am noticing the pictures are lighter and contrast and darks are lighter.  I feel like the quality is degraded too and looks weird.
    Anyone else experience this and do you have any advice?  Thanks so much!

    Problem solved I think.  The Photoshop update I have blowing off for a couple of weeks seems to have fixed it.  There was an update in the bundle I downloaded for camera raw 5.7(?) and I'm guessing that is what the problem was...  Fingers crossed this never happens again.  Thanks!!!

  • Photo Edit in CS4 not working

    Hello,
    THE SETUP
    I have LR 3.3 and PS CS 4 Version 11.0.2 on a Mac running OS X.6.7.
    My "About Lightroom" screen reports the presence of Camera Raw 6.3.
    In my LR preferences under "External Editing" tab, I have the option to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4" as PSD / sRGB / 16 bit / rez 300. There is no "Additional External Editor" present.
    I have installed in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats the Camera Raw Plug-in version 5.7. When I choose Photoshop>About Plugin>Camera Raw I see that CR version 5.7.0.213 is present.
    THE PROBLEM
    When I select photo(s) [CR2 file(s)] in LR3 and choose Photo>Edit in> none of the external edit-in-Photoshop options work. First, I get a message saying "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.3 for full compatibility."
    I resent this suggestion, since that version of Camera Raw only works with CS5.
    When I click "Open Anyway," PS opens and loads, but that's it. None of the images from LR appear.
    I get the same (non)-results with all of the options (edit in CS4, HDR, panorama, smart object, etc.) under "Photo>Edit In." Photoshop launches, but no image appears.
    The only way I can get a photo to open in PS from within LR is to choose Photo>Edit in>Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4, and then when the warning dialog comes up about the Camera Raw plug-in version, click "Render in Lightroom." When I do that, LR renders the image and it opens in CS4. But that doesn't help me do what I really want to do, which is to select bracketed exposures in LR, merge them to HDR in CS4, and save them back to LR.
    I have searched for help on this and come up dry. I did find this http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?9974-Open-as-layers-in-Photoshop-command-not -working, but I reinstalled the CR 5.7 plug-in as described and saw no change.
    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Lr 3.3 and CS4 are not fully compatible so your experience is the result of that.
    You will have to bite the bullet and upgrade to CS5 if you dont want to "Render in LR".
    I've worked for quite a while with LR 3 and CS3 and experienced similar problems - the only way out is that you select "Render in LR".
    It's not such a big deal. When you select "Render in LR", Lr creates the psd that then opens in CS4.
    With CS5 it works this way: The RAW file opens in CS5 but when you save in CS5 a psd is generated.

  • Editing with CS4 troubles

    I have a photo that I'm trying to edit with Photoshop CS4.  I have been having trouble saving the file when finished.  My problem:  Saved photos would not appear in Elements after closing and saving in CS4.  Sometimes the thumbnail would appear, but the actual photo would be "missing".  The edited photo would not even be in Windows explorer.  I searched the forums and found others with this and similar issues.  My latest attempt was to flatten the image before saving, which saved as jpeg rather than psd.  Now the photo remains locked in Elements with the "Edit in progress"  I have closed CS4.  I tried reopening the file in CS4, but the Edit with CS4 is now greyed out.
    I have been struggling with this for 2 days.  Why is this so difficult?  What am I doing wrong?
    I have Vista 64.  I am using Elements 7 and Photoshop CS4 64 bit
    Jason

    I have also tried running both programs "as administrator" - this made no change.  For some reason the file is not saving correctly.  The file goes "missing" everytime.

  • Faces issue when selecting 'edit with CS4' (or any other external editor)

    Ok, so I have a work flow where I effectively use Nik Plugins. I have the complete set so that i can use them in Aperture and CS4. I correct exposure and white balance and crop in Aperture but then have automators set up in CS4 to apply Nik plugin effects via a batch change process ie no manual adjustments needed, start the batch and come back 20 mins later. Anyway thats somewhat irrelevant....
    Once stage one is done in Aperture I select faces and see that all looks fine. Suggestions appear over faces etc as you'd expect. BUT if I then select edit with CS4 (via right click) on that image it creates a duplicate image (as its non-destructive) and opens it in CS4. Fine. But if you go in to Aperture the faces on this duplicate image are now all messed up. They are not at all over peoples faces but seemingly in random places. Right click and selecting detect faces does nothing. So in summary if I edit anything with CS4 and hit save so that the changes appear in Aperture then hit faces to tag people I have to effectively start from scratch and delete all the faces (not over peoples faces) and add new faces.
    The best way to illustrate this is with screenshots. See this link for 2 screenshots of the issue. http://adamlewis.zenfolio.com/screenshot
    Can someone else confirm they have this issue at all first off to see if it is a specific issue to myself or a generic Aperture issue?
    After that I guess we can proceed with troubleshooting and solutions.
    PS I have repaired my library and rebuilt it and have upgraded Aperture to the latest 3.2.2 (released today / yesterday but note the issue was found under 3.2.1 so its not a 3.2.2 specific issue).

    Maybe I should have made it clearer in my original post. The 1st paragraph was just for colour. The fact of using Nik has nothing to do with the issue. The below quote is the issue:
    "Suggestions appear over faces etc as you'd expect. BUT if I then select edit with CS4 (via right click) on that image it creates a duplicate image (as its non-destructive) and opens it in CS4. Fine. But if you go in to Aperture the faces on this duplicate image are now all messed up. They are not at all over peoples faces but seemingly in random places."
    Thus the issue is generated by merely selecting Edit with CS4. ie no editing done in CS4 and not even saved in CS4. Just selecting edit with CS4 in Aperture creates the duplicate image in Aperture (and sends it to CS4 but lets assume we do nothing with it there at all) but creates a duplicate with face tags in the wrong places.
    After further investigation I changed my external editing software option in preferences to Pixelmator and the same issue occurs.
    So to replicate the issue in my place there are 2 simple steps that I need to make (and would like tested by someone else):
    1. Tag some peoples faces in an Aperture image
    2. Select edit with (any external editor)
    Then go back in to Aperture (immediately) and select faces on the duplicate image created and see if the faces are in the correct position.
    Note I have my external editor set to TIFF 8 Bit 300dpi using Adobe RGB colour space.
    Thanks for your time.

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

  • CS4 Problems on new iMac

    1. I installed CS4 on my new iMac running Mavericks. I ran the updater but the updater can't update itself ("couldn't access disc image") so now I can't update any of the CS4 components. Help!
    2. My RAW files (imported from my previous Mac using Time Machine) all appear as unconverted DNG files. I'd like to avoid spending hours converting them all again. Is this a CS4 problem or maybe a Mac problem? Should I restore my photo library from Time Machine again, now that I've installed CS4? Any ideas on solving these problems would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    CS4 is unsupported under Mavericks. Someone who has successfully done this
    may be able to help, but unfortunately you're pretty much on your own here.

  • LR 2.2 edit in CS4 Failure

    I am running LR 2.2 and I have been running PS CS2 with no trouble. I recently upgraded to CS4 Design premium. Now the main external editor in LR2.2 has been set to CS4. So when I right click on an image and select edit in->CS4, I got the "you may need to upgrade to ACR5.2" complaint. To rectify this, I downloaded all the updates and installed them, for all of CS4 Design Premium. Now when I attempt to edit in PS CS4, nothing happens. Well, if CS4 is not running, it launches it, but no PSD file is created, so the image never opens in CS4.
    What now?

    You should manually run the ACR 5.2 installer. There was a bug in there that made it not actually install if you used the automatic update.

  • Edit in Cs4 -or-Edit in PS.exe(2nd editor)

    Is it only when the lens Correction develop module section has been used that using CS4 as the second external editor has to be used?
    If that section has not been used and I automatically click on Edit in Cs4 (no pop up choice box) the appearance in CS4 looks to me as though it has retained the global adjustments and any brush adjustments. Is this wishful thinking?
    I have to retrain my brain paths to use the second external editor  Photoshop.exe (64bit) editor and it doesn't always happen.
    Rose

    Other than the lens corrections, everything else is *almost* identical using CS4/5.7.  Unless you're pixel peeping, you probably won't notice any difference.  I think it was just sharpening halos that were tweaked, from memory.

  • LR will not allow edit in cs4

    I recently moved to a new computer with W-7. I installed CS4 and Lr 2.6 fresh on the computer. When I select edit in cs4 from LR I get a message that says cs4 can not be opened. I can open cs4 directly and edit pics but can not save them to LR. I also tried to download LR2.7 and it came in as a separate program called LR2.7-64bit. If I try to open this program I get the same message as above. I still get reminders from LR2.6 to download 2.7 update. To further complicate the issue, I can not open cs4 64 bit at all, only cs4 32 bit. Any body have any ideas. Adobe has been working on this for 2 weeks and can not solve the problem

    Charlie, you have been most helpful. I am getting close to a full solution. To answer your last question, no i have no plug-ins installed at this point. I did change the properties settings to allow full control to adminstrators, this was not on for some reason. Now when I use LR 2.6 or 2.7 it will open cs4 64 bit as the default from the edit in... menu. However before the cs4 will open I get a permission request from user account control to allow the program to make changes, when i click yes cs4 opens and works. i have checked all the user account settings and they seem in order and no other program does this. Is there another setting in cs4 that I should look at?
    One other interesting fact. I checked to see if the security certificate on cs4 was up to date and it is not. This may be the reason for the permission request. So I went to update cs4 from the help menu and I can not access the adobe site from either 32 or 64 bit cs4, I can from both LR versions.

  • CS4 problem when importing older CS3 Project, mismatched edits

    I am trying to import a CS3 project into CS4 and for some reason some of the edits don't match up. It's only in some parts, most of it is fine. I really want to be able to use the new Media Encoder so I can make a DVD from the CS3 project (I was unable to do this in CS3 + older Media Encoder because it would always crash on my long length project).
    I also tried bypassing Premiere CS4 by using the Media Encoder CS4 standalone project import option and selected the CS3 project and then the sequences....I scrubbed through the player and the same edits are mismatched/incorrect.
    If I go back to the project in the older CS3, all edits are fine...but of course I can't export a MPEG for DVD because CS3's exports crash.
    What is the deal?
    If it matters, I am using 720p P2 footage.

    Well I'm interested in this thread because I'm having a similar problem importing CS2 projects - audio filters are screwy, especially EQ.
    I can't finish this project in CS2 for several reasons.
    I can't seem to convert every project CS2 project -- some work, some do not. Missing preview files, probably. I know that CS4 conversions hanging are a separate documented issue.
    So I'm trying to import projects instead. Everything looks all right but everything does not SOUND all right.
