Edit in Photoshop CS5 Prompt Inconsistent

I've recently noticed that the prompt window which ask what to edit (Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments, etc.) when going to Photoshop CS5 is only popping up with some images. It use to be it would open every time I went into Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 4. When I get the prompt I have choices. When I don't get the prompt it opens the image with all the Lightroom adjustments, but sometimes that not what I want other than going outside of of Lightroom and into Photoshop directly.
I'm running Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 on OSX Lion. Also, I recently had to run a fix on a corrupt catalog. For those who are aware of the corrupt catalog issue I had it repaired via Dan Tull.
Any solution would be appreciated.
Thanks, Devin

Since you are using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5, ACR isn't fully compatible with Lightroom.  When editing raw images, Lightroom will warn you unless you choose not to show that warning again.  If you make that choice, then whatever choice you made at that time will be the one that is used.  If you open a JPEG or a TIF image, Lightroom will always ask if you want to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments, etc..  So if you have made the choice not to display the "raw warning" again, then you won't have that warning when opening raw images.  But you will always be given those other choices when opening non-raw images.

    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

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 3.2 doesn't open file in Photoshop

    Hi,
    I've just made a complete fresh install of Lightroom 3.2 and Photoshop CS5 extended on my new iMac (OS 10.6.4, x64)
    Now I'm trying to edit raw-files in Photoshop CS5.
    Normally a popup should appear to ask in which format the photo should be opened in PS.
    But no popup is shown, Photoshop starts immediately, but without actually opening the photo.
    If I configure Photoshop as secondary editor this problem does not appear, and everyting works fine.
    But in that case I miss the option for a secondary editor like for example DxO...
    What to do?
    Regards,
    Menno

    Menno,
    I can't help you with your primary problem, as I'm not a CS5 user.
    But regarding your second concern with having CS5 as a secondary editor and therefore not having the option for additonal external editors:
    You can have as many external editors as you like, e.g. CS5 as one, DXO as one, Nik Viveza as one and so on. All you have to do is create different External Editor Presets in Preferences for each desired external editor.

  • Can no longer edit in Photoshop CS5

    I recently uninstalled Lightroom 2.7 in favor of using my recently installed Lightroom 3.  I did the same in terms of unintalling Photoshop CS3 in favor of using only my recently installed version of Photoshop CS5.  As a result, coincidentally or otherwise, nothing works right now.  When I open LR3 images and go to "Edit In", Photoshop is greyed out and so I am unable to do any editing outside Lightroom itself.
    Does anyone know how I might remedy this problem?  I am at the point of total frustration with both programs and am about ready to uninstall both of them and start all over again (which I dread).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks much.

    Just reinstall CS5. I believe you can do a repair to fix the problem. When you removed CS3 the uninstaller removed some files needed by CS5.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 Not Seamless

    With Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS4, when you would select "Edit in Photoshop CS_ " the image would automatically open in Photoshop without passing through Camera Raw first.
    Now, with LR 3 and PS 5 whenver I cmd+e (edit in photoshop) an image, I get the Open dialog in Photoshop.
    How can this be fixed? Is there a setting I have overlooked?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I recently updated from PS CS4 to PS CS5 and Lightroom 2.7 to Lightroom 3.
    Everything went smoothly and i'm very happy overall.
    The only problem that i'm having is that now in Lightroom the "Edit in Photoshop" is greyed out.
    I can still edit in Photoshop if i use it as an "another external edit program", but my question is how do i get the two programs aware again of each other?? So i can edit in photoshop as a smart object again. I updated ACR to the latest version.
    Thanks

  • Can't edit in Photoshop CS5

    I just bought a new computer that uses Windows 7. I successfully restored my Elements Catalog. But when I click on a photo in the Organizer, then click on Edit, then on Edit with Photoshop, all that happens is I see a moving circle, then briefly an hourglass, then absolutely nothing happens. It never takes the photo into CS5 for editing. I tried going into Edit, Preferences, Editing, and Use a Supplementary Editing Application, but all it said was that CS5 is already an option. Yet it won't work. It worked just fine on my old XP computer. Help!

    On my old computer (Windows XP) I was able to click on Edit in Elements 8.0, then Edit in Photoshop, and it took me directly to CS5. Shouldn't it do the same thing in Windows 7???
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS5, and that didn't make a difference.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 greyed out in LR4 and LR3

    Since one of the many upgrade to LR3 I have not been able to edit in photoshop, it is greyed out.  I thought the upgrade to LR$ would deal with this but it has not. I have tried the upgrade to beta 6.7 but this does not help. Would removing CS5 and reinstalling help?  Very frustrating.

  • Lightroom 3: Edit in Photoshop CS5 no longer saves a copy as TIFF for editing

    Hi,
    I have Lightroom 3 (LR3) and Photoshop CS5 (non Extended) and Snow  Leopard on OSX.  Both LR3 and CS5 are filly updated.  CS5 updated with  Camera Raw 6.1.
    On one day, when I tell LR3 to "Edit in Photoshop" it would save a copy  of the NEF with current LR3 settings as a TIFF and I can edit it in  Photoshop as a TIFF.  I would see a progress indicator in LR3 that show  it saving a copy as a TIFF.
    The next day, this stopped working.  It goes directly to Photoshop and  opens the NEF itself.   It's is completely ignoring the LR3 settings in  External Handling tab.
    Strangely, when I "save" this NEF in Photoshop, a TIFF is created back in LR3.  That threw me off completely from LR2.7
    Has anybody encountered this?  Does LR3 skip telling you if you want to save as TIFF now if you have the latest LR and CS?
    Thank you.

    What you describe as abnormal is how things are supposed to work:
    If the RAW engines match (where LR3 and ACR 6.1 do), then LR just tells PS what the "conversion recipe" is and PS tells ACR to silently open it with that "recipe" so it doesn't have to be rendered to TIF or PSD on the way into PS. 
    If the RAW engine of PS (ACR's version) is too odl to understand all the LR adjustments then LR knows this and will render to an intermediate file on the way into PS.  This also happens if you use some other third-party photo-editor that can't use ACR to open the file.
    On Windows, at least, there is a way to make LR render to TIF/PSD on the way into Photoshop, I fyou create a duplicate copy of the EXE and rename it to PhotoshopX.exe or some other name that LR doesn't recognize as Photoshop, then LR thinks it is a third-party editor and renders an intermediate file.
    What might have happened is that you updated to ACR 6.1 or maybe PS 12.0.1 which caused LR to re-evaluate the Photoshop compatibility and it determined it was fully compatible and didn't render to an intermediate file on the way in.
    Since Photoshop is a bitmap editor, it has to save as something other than the RAW file on the way out, and LR will see that Save occur and import it automatically.
    Does that all make sense?

  • Editing in Photoshop CS5 and return to LR5 as .jpg

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to LR, so this may be a stupid question, but here goes....
    Occasionally I have a photo that I have made my edits to in LR5 and now want to take into Photoshop CS5 to do a few minor things and I understand how that is done. My issue is that when I save it and it is brought back into LR it is now a .psd (I know that is because I have set it up that way in my LR Preferences). That is great when I want to save detailed layers with edits from photoshop incase I need to go back in and tweak them, however in the instance where the PS edits are so minor and no layers were created, I really don't want the massive file size that comes along with the .psd version. Is it possible to bring it back to LR as a .jpg? If there is a better way to handle this in my workflow please let me know.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Ria

    Yes, I understand your concerns with storage space.
    I would also keep the CR2 files; I shoot with Nikons and keep my NEFs.
    I don't know if converting to DNG is actually such a good idea. They are called a Raw format but the more I read about that the more doubtful I become.
    Adobe says that converting to DNG would be good in case the original Raw-format from camera would not be supported any more.
    But Nikon and Canon have been around for quite some time - maybe longer than Adobe - and in today's corporate world there is no guarantee for permanent DNG-support either.
    So it seems to me that you could stop saving DNGs since you are saving and keeping your CR2s anyway, which I would recommend.
    In the past I have also edited many (if not most) of my images in PS, mostly for the reason that the spotting tool in Lr had npt been up to the task.
    But that has changed with Lr5. I did some extensive spotting on some images in Lr5 recently, and it is now just as easy - maybe easier - than it is in PS.
    As far as tonal and color corrections go I find that Lr is superior to PS. Naturally there is no way around PS if you need layers.
    I would suggest that you have a thorough look at your workflow and ask yourself if it is really necessary that you edit in PS "for a couple of minor edits".
    So you could possibly avoid amassing huge amounts of PSDs/TIFFs.
    A 12-quality JPG is most probably not inferior in quality to a 8-bit TIFF or PSD.  But a JPG is always a 8-bit image, whereas the other formats give you the option of saving as 16-bits, and that's what you should do if quality is a concern. You say that you have to create JPGs anyway for printing or web-use.
    But that does not mean that you have to save as JPG after editing. I treat JPGs as expendables. After uploading I delete them from my system. In Lr I can always create a JPG on the fly from the original. It makes no sense for me to have JPGs sitting around.
    BTW: Read this if you are interested in the question if you should use PSDs or TIFFs:http://www.teddillard.com/2009/03/tiff-vs-psd-schewe-via-luminous.html

  • Why don't my adjustments in LR4 show up when I edit in Photoshop CS5?

    Why is it when I edit an image in lightroom 4 then go to retouch etc in photoshop cs5 those adjustements that I made on the image in lightroom ie contrast, saturation, exposure etc don't show up when I move the raw image into photoshop to do final retouching on the image but still have it in my lightroom catalog? It is the camera raw issue that comes up when you first try to edit an image and lightroom says it needs camera 7.0 which does't exist yet?

    If you read the post in the Lightroom Journal you will get the full answers to the OP request.
    1. you need ACR 6.7 Release Candidate in Photoshop CS 5 to be able to pass the raw data from LR 4.
    2. Camera raw 7.x will not be available in PS CS5 you will require PS CS6 which is now available in release candidate.version. All the info you need is there.
    I was just passing on the link to the official info from the head of the Lightroom team so the correct info could be viewed so there would be a minimum of mis-understanding.

  • HUGE file sizes when editing with Photoshop CS5

    Reluctantly I've set Photoshop CS5 up to process photographs for things like barrel distortion that my 18-200 Nikon seems especially prone to.
    I open any given photograph with apple-shift-O, make my changes and save. However, the copy that's then put back into Aperture 3 the file size comes out as anything between 30mb and 70mb per photograph - far too big.
    I've tried both TIFF 16-bit) and PNG (16-bit) options in Aperture which makes no difference. I've had a look through Photoshop CS5 options but can't see anything which looks correct.
    Thanks

    mjw_london wrote:
    I can only assume that it's like this because Aperture 3 only basically allows 2 options, to open in an external editor with either TIFF or PSD - both of which are undesirable because of their huge filesizes. Is there a way of making it open in an external editor with JPEG?
    Like jade said, it is not ridiculous. Ideally you would be shooting RAW not (lossy) JPEG to start, but even if you do shoot lossy JPEG you should convert to a lossless format like TIFF or PSD for the entire process of any editing. Large file sizes are a good thing not a bad thing because larger sizes represent more image data. And, hard drive capacity is cheap.
    Note that JPEG is a lossy compression algorithm, so when you open a JPEG in Aperture, Photoshop, whatever, the file is decompressed and becomes larger. You can again compress the file (such as back to JPEG) when done editing but be aware that each new compression by a lossy algorithm like JPEG loses image data and may also add undesirable visible artifacts.

  • Stretched photos after editing with photoshop CS5

    When I crop a photo with photoshop CS5 and then go and review it in Iphoto the picture looks like the unedited version in the "events" but when i double click on it it appears streteched. How do I fix this?
    Also, when I edit a photo with CS5 (for ex: cool a picture if it is too warm) then go to look at it in iphoto it looks like the unedited version and once I click on the photo I can see the edited version.

    The following is how Photoshop should be used from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Lightroom 2.7, Edit in Photoshop CS5 can it be done?

    I am currenently  running Lightroom 2.7 64-bit. I have upgraded to Photoshop CS5 64-bit. When I gointo "edit in" the only options I get are "edit in photoshop CS3" or "open as a smart object".  When I edit as a smart object photoshop my image is opened in CS5. How do I get Lightroom to recognize CS5 so I can edit in ity instead of CS3?

    Try uninstalling CS3 and then reinstalling CS5.

  • Lightroom 5.5 not selecting images after editing in photoshop cs5

    I recently did the 5.5 update and now after cmd E editing in photoshop after I save and close a file it is auto imported into lightroom but not selected.  I am using filters but that is the only variable I could see affecting it.  It used to be done automatically and only takes me a second longer but I'm editing files hundreds at a time and every second counts.

    Most likely you need to change the Sort order of your images.  In Library - Grid view there is a tool bar at the bottom of the grid window. If the tool bar isn't visible, hit [ T ] to activate it. Change the sort order to Filename or Capture Time. It is probably set to Added Order.
