Edit in Photoshop command

I am attempting to edit a file in lightroom 4 this is a tiff file generated from a scanned negative. If I adjust exposure and contrast and edit in photoshop(cs6) using the edit in photoshop command the file will open. If I then add a noise and sharpness adjustment the file will no longer open. If I return the noise and sharpness adjustments to zero the file will then open. Anyone have any idea what’s going on

"Edit In Photoshop" command missing

I bought Lightroom and Photoshop Elements 10 last year (downloaded LR v4.3 yesterday) and sat down to learn how to use them together today (www.lynda.com Using Lightroom and Photoshop Together with Jan Kabili).
When I open LR the Photo -> Edit In -> Edit In Photoshop command is greyed out (non-functional).
I tried both solutions listed under 'Solution 3: On Mac OS' on the following help page including uninstalling and re-downloading and installing PS Elements 10 and it is still not working:

Please advise how to make your programs work together. Surely, with Photoshop Elements installed and running on my computer Lightroom must be able to notice it.
Bill.

I just realised what I was doing wrong. I installed Photoshop Elements 10 but I was launching Photoshop Elements Editor not Photoshop Elements. I had no idea there were multiple applications! Now that I have launched the main Photoshop Elements Application (it then brings up a dialog where you select organize or edit) the "Edit in Photoshop Elements 10" menu item has appeared as expected in Lightroom.

Edit in Photoshop command unavailble in Lightroom 3.4

I upgraded my Lightroom 2 to Lightroom 3 on a Windows 7 computer with Photoshop CS4 installed. When I first used Lightroom 3.1 the Edit In... command showed that the Edit in Photoshop and all the other Photoshop related commands were available and could be used. Several weeks ago, I upgraded my Photoshop CS4 to CS5. Now when I select the Edit In... command the only option available to me is the Edit in Other Application... command, all the rest of the commands are greyed out. How can I get Lightroom 3.4 to recognize that Photoshop CS5 is installed and available for use?

Why is Edit in Photoshop command missing or refers to Photoshop Elements?

Q Why is the Edit In Adobe Photoshop command in the context menu missing when I right-click on a photo in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?
or
Why is the same command under the Photo menu grayed out, and in the External Editor tab of the Preferences the upper box is labeled "Edit in Photoshop (Not Found)"?
See linked
Adobe Technote for more information

Using Develop module on NEF stops 'Edit in Photoshop' command from working.

Started with LR5 CS6 CR8.1
Suddenly when a raw image has been porcessed by the Develop Module the (ctrl-E) 'open in Photoshop' command does not work for that image. It works for images that have not been 'developed'.
I have deleted LR preferences several times.
I have upgraded to LR5.2RC and CR8.2RC.
As far as I remember this catalog was new as LR5.
Any ideas please?

Creating a new catalogue and importing the images does not resolve the problem.
The problem is only occuring on a few images from a particular collection.
Creating a virtual copy also will not edit in photoshop.
Creating a virtual copy and reseting the develop settings will allow the ctrl-e command to work.
However, manually re-applying the develop settings once again stops the ctrl-e command working.

Lightroom 2.2 edit in Photoshop CS4 command

Hello. I've tried to search for this topic in the frequently asked question, however I do not quite know how to enter it in the search field. I have a MacBook Pro 17" and have PSCS4 and LR 2.2. Earlier I was opening an Olympus RAW file using the "Edit in" command in LR2.2. The photo would open in ACR and then I could tweak the setting, if need be, then it would open in Photoshop and I could use the all the filters. I believe, not sure, that it opened as a jpeg after I clicked the open image button in ACR. Now, when using "Edit in..." command it will open the photo as an Olympus RAW file, skipping ACR and I will only be able to use a few of the filters.
Was I mistaken when I opened the previous files as RAW then converted to jpeg in ACR? How can I open the RAW file as a Jpeg and roundtrip the whole affair?
I hope this was written clear enough.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Sincerely

I think you've missed the part that she's starting out in
b Lightroom.
There is absolutely NO reason to take a file from Lightroom into ACR, jpeg or otherwise. I don't think it's even possible, regardless of how ACR is set up.
Her quote:
>Earlier I was opening an Olympus RAW file using the "Edit in" command in LR2.2. The photo would open in ACR and then I could tweak the setting,
makes no sense at all. (even if it actually is a jpeg)
I agree there's definitely some confusion ....
I think her goal is to end up with a jpeg after using the Edit in Photoshop command in LR. A file opened in PS from LR using EIP is still technically a RAW file ... until it's saved. The default Save behavior is either PSD or TIFF depending on LR's prefs. To save as a jpeg, you'd need to do a Save As from PS. I think her main problem is that the file is 16 bit - which prevents the jpeg option.

How can I get "Edit in Photoshop" to work properly again?

Hi all,
I purchased and upgraded to Lightroom 4.0. Got things to work fine with some ACR updates for Photoshop CS3 that I'm currently using. Now have ACR 4.6 installed (the latest for my version of PS) as well as ACR 6.7.
I was able to make edits to the DNG RAW files in Lightroom 4.0 and then choose Edit in Photoshop (Command-E) and see those changes in a PSD file in Photoshop, where I could make further changes.
All of a sudden, I went to edit a photo in Photoshop and saw the original DNG file with no Lightroom edits. Some tinkering and update to Lightroom 4.1 but nothing can seem to make it show those Lightroom edits now when I go to Photoshop.
How did this break? How do I fix it?
Mac OSX 10.7.3
Photoshop Lightroom 4.1
Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1

My Lightroom 4 was doing a fine job rendering my changes to the RAW file as a PSD on the way into PS, especially after I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 for Photoshop CS3. Then it just stopped, with no warning. To try to fix this problem, I downloaded ACR 6.7 and also LR4.1, but it's still just opening the DNG file when I run Command-E to edit in Photoshop CS3.
When I use Adobe Bridge CS3 to see the changes I've made in LR4.1 (especially after saving the metadata to the file with Command-S), it shows the updated changes but when I then open in Camera Raw or Photoshop, they're gone.
Thoughts? I'm worried because Command-E in LR4.1 just opens the DNG without modified changes instead of the PSD file as was customary.

Non destructive crop preserved when you "Edit in Photoshop"

I hope that there would be an option in the future to crop an image in lightroom, then when you open to "edit in photoshop" the image would be cropped using photoshop new non destructive crop. So that i can tweak color and retouch the whole image then close and i can do final cropping back in LR.

Sometimes, people crop pictures in LR before making many adjustments just to see if the image works, then go on to the next image etc... then batch export to psd or even edit in PS one by one to retouch. Its painstaking to make a virtual copy, reset the crop, export/edit in psd, then copy the original crop from the master raw, then paste it to the psd file. Another way, adobe can make this work is to have an option to have "Edit in Photoshop" command to not apply the crop from LR. Open the full image, then when it imports it back to LR have LR apply the non destructive crop.

Please help! Issues with file permissions on the 'Edit' file created by LR for editing in Photoshop?

I am running a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. I use a Netgear ReadyNas as my storage device. I can Save, Re Save, Delete and add files without any concern on the ReadyNas from within PS or LR. However when I use the 'Edit in Photoshop" command on LR. I chose the 'Edit a copy with edits', LR creates the new duplicate 'edit' file in the same directory as the original. It opens in PS, I edit as required, however when I save the file to return to LR, I am informed that the file is locked and that I need to edit settings on file or folder, even though the settings are working for all other edits etc. I have had Netgear on this for 3 hours this evening and they cannot see any issues with the setting on the ReadyNas. Does anyone know what permissions are changed or why they are changing when the file is being created by LR?
Sorry bit of a long winded one - but I hope that all makes sense?

h264 is highly compressed and might be the reason your skimming isn't smooth, it may also take a bit more time to convert. I don't have to worry all that much about space so I haven't particularly tried it and can't say whether there are any drawbacks of doing so.
If you google 'mpegstreamclip tutorials', you will see quite a few tutorials you can look at, they do tend to be specific to one task which may not exactly fit in with what you are trying to do, but looking at a few might give you a better understanding of what some options do and when to use them if at all.

Edit in Photoshop CC command in Lightroom 5 opens older version of PS CC

On OS X mavericks 10.9.2 in Lightroom 5.3 everytime I use any of the edit in Photoshop CC commands it always launches an older version 14.00 vs the newer 14.2

In your first screen shot you are showing "Photoshop CC" highlited towards the bottom of the list amoung the other programs which are secondary "edit in options". The two at the top "Edit in Photoshop CC" a re where the primary edit in program which is chosen by Lightroom and should be the most "advanced" Photoshop application. What happens if you choose the one at the top of the list? See my screen capture.
From your description it appears you have more than one version of Photoshop CC installed on your computer. I have PS CS6 on my computer and there are two versions the 64 bit version and the 32 bit version.
Maybe you have Photoshop CC (the earlier version) as a "secondary edit in program" in Lightroom.
I am not a primary Mac user but I do have a Mac Book Pro and my thoughts would be to go to my Applications Folder on my HDD and see if there are more than one install of Photoshop CC. If so I would drag the older application into the trash. More experienced Mac users may wish to comment.

Edit in Photoshop CS4... does not open the selected file.

Sorry if this is an old topic, but I can not seem to find the answer and I was hoping someone here might know.
When in Lightroom (2.2 or 2.3) if I select "Edit in Photoshop CS4..." or any of those dropdown commands, Photoshop opens....and that is it. The selected photo from Lightroom is NOT opened/merged/panoramaized. duuh. frustrating.
So I re-installed Lightroom, updated to the 2.3, re-installed CS4. all with the same effect that Photoshop opens, but the selected file is NOT opened.
Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

When you remove the obvious,
that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
Short version:
When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
ie.
if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
X
Y
all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
Best,
Jim

Images edited in Photoshop not showing up correctly in Lightroom after saving

Hi,
I recvently got Adobe cloud and upgraded from Lightroom 3 to 4. Since the upgrade I have been having issues with Lightroom not correctly displaying images edited in Photoshop. Instead of the photoshop image it creates a new jpeg and displays that in the library. the PSD does not get loaded into the library.
I am taking a jpeg from my library and shoosing the edit in Photoshop function. I am selecting edit a copy, but have tried it with original and with edit a copy with lightroom adjustments as well with the same results.
In Photoshop I am duplicating the base layer, upscaling the image, running some filters, adding dsome adjustment layers.
I save the image in Photoshop format back to the original folder where the initial jpeg was in the Lightroom library. I save it with maximize compatibility on.
When I go back to Lightroom, the catalog displays two files, the initial jpeg and an identical copy to it, NOT the new photoshop file with alterations. If I go to the folder the images are housed in in Finder using the show in Finder command both images link to the same original jpeg. The photoshop edited file is there in the folder but does not show up in Lightroom unless I drag and drop it.
I have turned off all filters and made sure the sort is sorting by name. The image does not automatically show up in Lightroom after editing. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!
PS. I did search the topic and there are threads from 2007 and lightroom 2 but their solution was to start from scratch essentially and I have a carefully tagged, starred, and labeled catalog of 30,000+ images and really don't want to do that

Images that are edited in Photoshop will be displayed automatically in Lr only when the image-file saved in Photoshop is the same as the one opened from Lr.
You say you open a JPG from Lr, then edit it in PS by - among other things - adding some layers. Layers are not supported in the JPG-format so you have to either save it as a psd or as a jpg-copy.
In either case this is not the same image file as the one opened in Lr, so it will have to be imported into Lr to show up. If you would flatten your image after editing in PS and then do a <save> to your JPG - not a <save as> - it will show up in Lr.
PS: the only exception is when you open a Raw image from Lr in PS and you save it in PS in the file format specified in Lr for external editing. The saved file will automatically show in LR.

Can't "Edit in Photoshop CS6" in Lightroom 4.1, after upgrading Photoshop from CS4

I recently installed Creative Suite 6 Production Premium, and uninstalled Photoshop CS4, but Lightroom seems to be confused and doesn't show "Edit in Photoshop CS6" as an option.
Lightroom seems to be aware that Photoshop CS4 is no longer installed: the first command under "Edit In" is "Edit in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop...", and all the Photoshop-specific "edit in" commands (smart object, layers, etc.) are unavailable. I tried adding Photoshop CS6 as a secondary editor, but this makes Lightroom export a TIFF to PS rather than opening the file in Camera Raw.
I'm not sure what I have to do to convince Lightroom that I have Photoshop CS6 installed. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, I had searched the forums before and couldn't locate an answer, but ended up finding an answer through the "more like this" links at the right. The CS4 path was stored in the Windows registry; I had to update it to CS6 and it's now working perfectly.
Just in case anyone else comes across this problem, here's the forum post:

Edit in Photoshop no longer works?

I have Lightroom 4.3 with Photoshop 13.1.2 and RAW 7.3 on Mac OS X 10.7.5
I had been using the edit in Photoshop CS6 command in LR to bring my pics into PS with no issues up until just recently, but all of a sudden it stopped working. If I right click an image in LR either from the library or develop module and choose edit in Photoshop CS6 it doesn't do anything. If I close PS and keep it closed, then choose the same command in LR it will start PS, open PS but that's it, it won't open my image. I'm scratching my head on this one.
I uninstalled LR by dragging it to the trash and reinstalled using Adobe Application Manager but that did not make a difference. I don't really want to reinstall PS, but is that the next step?
Does anybody have any advice on what to try? I've checked Adobe updater for anything new and I'm on all the latest.
It's crippled my workflow as I do as much in LR first then bring into PS, so I am having to use PS Camera RAW for now until I get this figured out.
Thanks!

That's interesting and useful. Since Lightroom 3 (which is where I'm at) the changes to Camera Raw have become more important to keeping it in sync with Photoshop. I won't consider an upgrade to one without upgrading the other for that reason. Since it's a Mac and not Windows, which seems to need rebooted for most any change, I'm not sure about the reboot. The only thing I can see a Mac (aka Unix) reboot doing is killing an orphined process or resetting a path. It would be nice to know what fixed it but yes, it's much nicer to actually be using our electronic paper weights.
I didn't look back to see if you reinstalled Photoshop as mentioned but I did write that I think reinstalling software to fix it is just stupid, these aren't programs off a $10 shareware CD and a reinstall is strictly a guess with hope attached.

"Edit in Photoshop" no longer working

The "edit in Photoshop" function had been working fine in both Premiere and Encore CS5.5. Then one day last week, using this function opened up Photoshop CS3 (I had never got around to uninstalling it after installing CS5.5). I uninstalled Photoshop CS3, and now I can't send items to Photoshop from Premiere or Encore (the message I get says that Photoshop is not installed). I tried reinstalling Photoshop CS5.5, but I received a number of error messages and the installation halted. Anyone know if there is a way to manually tell Premiere and Encore how to connect to Photoshop? Photoshop is still working fine on its own.
J. D.

Colin implied something, but I'll make it explicit:
The Edit Original and related commands rely on the association within the operating system between a file type (designated by file-name extension) and an application. All that Premiere Pro is doing is sending a request to the operating system to open the file with whatever application the operating system thinks should open that kind of file. So the fix is to tell the operating system what application to use.
