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.

  • 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).

  • How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
    For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

  • 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?

  • Where do I get eps parser plugin for adobe photodeluxe home edition 3.x and photodeluxe business edition 1.x

    Had to do a recovery on my Windows Xp Media Edition yesterday.  Just got this message when I started up my PC today and tried to open up Adobe Photoshop Business Edition 1.0 (I know, i know, but I LIKE Photoshop Business Edition 1.0.  It does everything I need it to do without all the complications):  "The program you are trying to run has a plug-in to correct known issues with this version of Windows.  You should install the EPS Parser plug-in for Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edition 3.x and Business Edition 1.x to insure proper operation on this version of Windows.  Contact the vendor regarding upgrades that are compatible with this version of Windows."
    Can someone point me to a page with this download on it, please and thank you?
    Cordially,

    Goodness, i must be braindead....i should have thought about Binging it (i don't do Google anymore...%:~}...).  i had some nutskull of a tech support person convince me that i needed to do a PC Recovery a couple of nights ago, and i have been reinstalling all after market software i had on my PC. 
    Thank gawd i had done a backup 7 weeks earlier or i would be sending in my PC right now to the shop to "recover" most of my data from my hard drive, an expensive proposition.  As it is, i'm having to reset all my previous configurations and software and it's been a real nightmare....

  • How do I get picture in picture video + moving animation? + How do edit a clip and store the edit in the library?

    How can I have picture in picture video
    I want to take one video, make it smaller and then have it play on top of another video
    + How do I control its precise position?
    How do I trim and edit a clip and save that clip?
    I've been through the manual, I'm sure I read it, but cant remember
    How do I have sliding in graphics for me video?
    After xx seconds on my video, I wanted a thin strip to slide accross the bottom of the video half way
    Then I wanted 4 graphics to slide onto this white line
    How do I do this?
    Thanks
    Omar

    For the first question: place one video on top of the other, as a connected clip. Change the size and position as you wish.
    You have many questions that suggest you are very unfamiliar with the application. I think you'd be well served by going through a few online tutorials. All the things you ask are easy and fun to do in FCP X. It is best to learn by seeing it done. Look at rippletraining.com, izzyvideo.com, and others. I am sure you'll find that it will be time well spent.

  • After editing a photo and turning off edit the photo changes

    So I am doing some extreme editing of some of my photos to get drastic, surrealistic effects....when I get it where i like it and turn off edit, the photo is ok for a moment and then changes to something completely different.....  any way to make the effects I see when in edit mode stay once edit mode is clicked off... 

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Another "edit in photoshop" and keyboard shortcut question

    I have both PSCS6 32 bit and 64 bit installed on my computer (usual default installation). When I next installed LR4, it automatically picked PSCS6 64 bit as the default external editor without asking my preference.
    I always use PSCS6 32 bit and not the 64 bit version.
    While I can add the PSCS6 32 bit program as an "additional external editor" and access it from a right click contextual menu for editing an image from LR4, I cannot use the convenient Ctrl + E keyboard shortcut since that will always launch the unwanted PSCS6 64 bit program.
    Is there a way to reestablish this keyboard shortcut convenience for my 32 bit program?
    Thanks in advance!

    Scott,
    There is a registry hack you could try:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html
    That's for making PS show up when it doesn't show up at all, but there's a place to add the path to the executable that you could modify to point to the 32-bit version. You might want to do a checkpoint for System Restore before you start.
