Edit in Photoshop and back to LR Pic Much Lighter

Strange.
Did some work on an image in LR and then more as edit in PS.
When the file came back to LR it was lighter that it started.
When I check that file by just going to explorer file folder and opened in PS it looked good, just not in LR.
What is going on?

There are several possible causes for this. One is that you have "apply auto tone adjustments" checked in your preferences->presets dialog. Turn it off. While you're there, consider also clicking "reset all Default Develop settings". Also check you're not applying any presets to the images. For images that this already happened to, hit the reset button in the Develop panel or in the quick develop section in Library.

  • Problem with "Edit in Photoshop" and Lightroom 2.1 failing to import new file

    I am a new user to Lightroom, so I won't be surprised if the problem is at the dull end of the keyboard...
    I am working with Lightroom 2.1 (still in my 30-day free trial), Photoshop CS3 with ACR 4.6, on Windows XP (fully updated). My image files are mostly .cr2 files (canon raw).
    When I "edit with photoshop" in Lightroom, it fires up Photoshop and brings the file up for edit as expected. Photoshop shows the file name as something like _MG_2326.CR2, as (I presume) expected. When I'm done editing in Photoshop, and I save the file, Lightroom brings up a message "The file could not be imported because it could not be read." and "It may be an incompatible format." on a second line.
    If I synchronize the folder in Lightroom it picks up the save file without issue (though its not automatically stacked with the original).
    I have tried messing around with the different options in the preferences "external editing" tab -- file format, color space and bit depth (I can't imagine resolution would matter). No joy there.
    I have also tried setting photoshop up as the additional external editor and if I do that it works correctly. However, in this case, it makes a copy of the file before opening photoshop which slows things down a little.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen before? Any solutions or work-arounds?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I'm back trying to sort this problem out (got distracted for a couple of days by trying to get my monitor calibrated).
    Rearranging the folder structure didn't help. But I now have a better organized catalog, so that's ok :)
    What I did find is that if I import files into lightroom using the "file/import photos from device", then I can edit them normally afterwards (that is, when I save the file in photoshop cs3, the new file gets picked up correctly by lightroom and gets correctly stacked with the original). This is true even if the new files get added into the same directory structure that I'm having troubles with.
    So it looks like the directory structure is a red herring. It looks like the problem is in the catalog, with the way that lightroom originally imported my files. I created my original catalog by allowing lightroom to read my elements 6 catalog.
    It seems that I have this edit problem with all catalog entries that were imported from elements 6, but I don't have any problem with catalog entries that lightroom brings in directly (either through "import photos from device" or by adding a new folder to the lightroom catalog).
    So right now it looks like there is a problem with the elements catalog conversion.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen? Any suggestions for getting around it?

  • Does the student teacher edition of photoshop and premiere elements 13 have to be renewed yearly?

    Does the student teacher edition of photoshop and premiere elements 13 have to be renewed yearly?

    that depends whether you were using the subscription cc version or the perpetual license version.
    if you can open, for example,  pse, click help and if you see activate/deactivate you have the perpetual license version and do not need to renew.  if you see sign in/sign out, you have the subscription version and will need to maintain your subscription to continue to use your cc program(s).

    Return your iPhone to Apple for repair/replacement, and ask for a white one.  It couldn't be simpler.  Whether Apple will comply with yuor request is another matter.

  • Editing in Photoshop and Keeping Layers in Lightroom

    I just switched to Lightroom and my workflow has slowed to a crawl, but in a week or two I hope to be moving along again.
    From Lightroom I exported a file to be edited in Photoshop.  I saved it as a PSD with layers.  Later I sent it back to Photoshop, but it was flattened.  I did this regularly in Aperture and all the layers were retained so I'm sure Lightroom can do it.  What did I miss here?

    Thanks Jim, it is a more of a challenge than I expected trying to get my head around all of this and still keep the workflow going.  My question was based on one experience so perhaps there were some things I overlooked.  Essentially you answered my question though and I'm glad to know it is possible so, back to work.

  • LR2: Edit in Photoshop and Stack

    Hi
    Just updated to LR2. One annoyance: when I edit in Photoshop CS3 and save, the image goes back into the lightroom catalog without the pick/reject flag.
    Normally, I filter by 'pick' - and the new version doesn't appear. To get it I have to go back into the Library, find it in the stack, move it to the top and pick it. Seems a very slow process. LR1.0 did not do this! Any ideas??
    Thanks
    Peter

    I see the same issue and it is an annoyance. The PSD should adopt the same flag status as the mother RAW -- so that we can see them without changing our filters.
    Did it work this way in earlier versions?

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and Back

    I am working on improving my workflow and have a slant on what appears to be a common question.
    If I make a series of changes to a DNG in Lightroom 4.3, then switch to Photoshop CS6 for additional changes (like removing blemishes and softening an image, I know some of this can be done in LR now, but bear with me). Is it possible to return to Lightroom and change a setting (like white balance) and have the change reflected in Photoshop?
    I recently spent an hour in Photoshop fixing various defects in an image only to discover I did not like the final white balance. I updated the white balance and had to redo all my Photoshop tweeks.
    Any tips for a new user?
    Matthew

    No. I would not adjust the white balance in Photoshop because Lr can do that better.
    Yes, in Photoshop you can do a intricate curve with black-point, white-point, and several neutral points in-between - but how often is that needed?
    Apart from images that I edit in Photoshop because I want to do layers, and other things that Lr cannot do (for instance that intricate curve), I use Photoshop only for the clone tool, the patch tool, and the content-aware fill. Everything else I do in Lr - simply because its easier and also because its non-destructive. In Lr I can always "undo" by going back in the history palette.
    If I want non-destructive in Photoshop I have to use adjustement layers. But that increases file size dramatically.
    Before we had Lr, I was using Photoshop for everything. Now I'm hardly using it because Lr does it easier.
    So, my workflow is this: If an image needs editing in Photoshop, I do it right away - before doing anything in Lr. After that I stay in Lr without returning to Photoshop.

  • Edit in Photoshop and retain LR edits in LR 3

    Every time I select Edit in Photoshop CS5 I loose my Lightroom 3 edits. How do I retain my Lightroom 3 edits like I used to be able to in LR2
    Jim

    Hello Jonathon,
    Thank you for the reply. It appears that the edits made in lightroom are being passed to photoshop the way LR 2x would act when selecting "Edit with Lightroom adjustments". I just do not get any options. Photoshop is opened and the image is passed to Photoshop as a DNG.
    I have checked all the Lightroom preferences and cannot see anything that is configurable that could cause this behavior. I checked my LR 3 in Vista and LR 3 in Windows 7 and they act identically.
    The original problem of not keeping the adjustments corrected itself when I removed the beta version of Photoshop CS5.

  • Exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom shows different results in Lightroom than in Photoshop

    I has set the color space to ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have also calibrated my monitor.
    But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
    Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.

    Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.

  • After i edit in photoshop and save back to lightroom, the new pic doesn't save next to the old

    it usually saves to the front of my quick collection (annoying) but after I open and close lightroom a few times, it gets lost altogether (inserted somewhere in the middle)

    In the Library Module go >View >Sort and check <Filename> and <Ascending> or <Descending> whichever you prefer.

  • Photos edited with Photoshop and saved to iPhoto don't show up in album?

    When I edit photos in PSCS4, rename them, and save them to the original iPhoto album, they do not reappear. When I use the "finder", I can see that they are saved to the modified folder within iPhoto with their new filename. Is there a way to save them so that they will reappear in the original album?
    Rick

    FWIW:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and back question

    When I export a photo from Lightroom into Photoshop, I make my edits, and then I select save.  In Photoshop the photo changes to a psd file as it should.  But when I go back into Lightroom, the photo does not appear in the original folder it was sent from.  It appears in a new folder that I did not create.  When I try to "move" the picture from this new folder back to it's original folder it says that the file already exists in the original folder, but there is NO photoshop edited picture in that original folder - only in the new folder.  I know I must have a setting wrong, but I have searched and searched and I can't figure out what is wrong.   I can't seem to figure out how to get the photos to go from Lightroom into Photoshop back into Lightroom and end up sitting next to the original picture in the folder it came from.!  Any ideas?  I am using Lightroom 5.4 (everything is up to date) and Photoshop CC (latest version).  I have a Macbook Pro computer.

    Sure.  Here are two images.  The first one is of the original picture in it's original folder.  The second one is of the edited picture in the "new" folder that Photoshop/Lightroom created.  I left the photo info on the picture so you can see it.  Any help would be so much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Lightroom to photoshop and back on a Mac

    Hi
    I appear to have an intermitent problem ..........
    When I take on image from a collection in Lightroom into Photoshop, clicking on Lightroom edits, to complete the necessary edits and then click  save the image doesn't appear in the collection.
    The image appears in the original folder but not the collection. This doesn't happen all the time but is time consuming when it does.
    Any ideas?
    Manks in advance
    Steve

    Command Z works for me on Lightroom - always has.
    Edit>Undo is the Menu command
