Edit in Photoshop CS6 not working

I recently upgraded to lightroom 5 and CS6 and for some reason I can no longer us the "edit in CS6" option. Lightroom will go as far as to open photoshop, but won't open the image which I have set to open as an 8bit PSD sRGB. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

On my Imac, i've created 2 user accounts. User A and User B. when I log in as User A and use lightroom and CS6 everything works fine. When I log in as User B, I have the issue with lightroom not opening raws in photoshop. Both users are using the system applications.
Ah, OK so I assume the admin account works, the other doesn't? Have to say I'm not savvy enough to understand what Photoshop/LR need in terms of items in the main account to make this all work. I might have to try that test on this end as I have two accounts too. I use the 2nd for trouble shooting. I suspect the primary account has something, somewhere in the user Library installed by Adobe that is accessed where it might not be in account #2.
If one account works, the other doesn't, we have to pinpoint what files are missing from the account that doesn't work.

From LR 4.3, saved edits in Photoshop CS6 not changing in LR (when running an Action)

From Lightroom 4.3, I am editing to Photoshop CS6 and able to make my edits and adjustments with a couple of Nik Software plugins running in an Action. The Action saves correctly and the changes are visible in Photoshop. When I switch back to Lightroom, the changes did not save.
However, when I try to do the same thing and replicate the steps of the Action manually, the changes do save correctly and they are visible in Lightroom.
This same action worked perfectly fine before I updated to LR4.3. The Action is key to my workflow, and not being able to use it significantly slows me down.
Is there a workaround known?
Thanks!
Nick

Web-Weaver,
Thanks for that detail. When I looked at my Action, it indeed was a <save as> command. So I re-recorded the Action, and recorded <save>, but in the Action, it still shows up as a <save as> recorded entry. I don't seem to be able to edit the entry to make it just a <save>.
Some additional detail, the <save as> that was recorded specifies that it be saved as a PSD format, and it also specifies a distinct filename and location. When I created a Droplet, and ran it on several files, they were all saved to that same filename.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
Nick

Photoshop CS6 not working right

Issues are happening on a mac. using photoshop CS6. opening files from bridge CS6, trying to edit the photos and the photos sometimes goes black or scrambled. recently started to happen every now and then and now it's every time. I have uninstalled photo shop and reinstalled. I do believe that I have everything updated.

I don't ever recall anything being pre-highlighted in the list on any version using Windows, and I always remember that under most conditions you see only a list of layers under the click point - though when masks are involved with pixel layers Photoshop tends to think a layer covers the entire canvas, so it gets listed. Groups can complicate things some too.
It may be that given the way Windows controls work, highlighting something the mouse is not actually hovering over is simply impossible, or so egregiously non-standard that it would just confuse Windows users. I think it would confuse me if I saw it.
It's good practice to just name your layers appropriately so that you can easily find them in whatever list you're looking at.

"Edit In" Photoshop CC not working for RAW or DNG files after applying LR 5.3 and Camera Raw 8.3

I just applied the Lightroom 5.3 and Camera Raw 8.3 updates and now am no longer able to open RAW or DNG files into Photoshop CC. When I select a file and choose "Edit In" Photoshop, photoshop will launch, then nothing will happen. After 2 to 5 minutes, an error will popup in Lightroom saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched." An error I've never seen before. When I click "Ok", Lightroom will show that it's "preparing a file for editing" in the upper left, it will create and save a psd to disk and in the catalog (another new behavior), then it will open in photoshop. All other file types (jpgs, tiff, psd) seem to work/open fine between applications. No difference if I open photoshop prior to selecting "Edit In". Selecting "Edit In" other applications, like Viveza, work fine.
I tried first deleting preference files in both applications. No luck. Ditto for plugins. Notta. Eventually I completely uninstalled and fresh installed Photoshop, Lightroom, and Bridge from the cloud. Same deal...can't open raw/dng files into Photoshop.
I'm at a complete loss, dead in the water, with a mountain of editing work piling on top of me. Kicking myself for applying the upgrades, which I had been delaying for some time to avoid just such a cluster%#$. Ugh.
I'm on a PC running Windows 7 64bit.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In the normal situation, LR needs to see a PS installed for it to detect the Edit In PS option is possible, so if you uninstall both, then install PS, first, then LR. Of course with this release there may be some hiccup that requires installing either one or the other, again, but if you've uninstalled both and are reinstalling both, then install PS, first.

Photoshop CS6 Not Working with OS Mavericks

I can't get photoshop cs6 to behave properly now that I've upgraded to OS Mavericks. For that matter - I can't get InDesign or Illustrator CS6 to behave properly either.
When I use the File Open, File Save, and File Save As commands I immediately get the pinwheel that spins without end. It doesn't matter if I use a shortcut key or a the pull-down menu. I never get to a dialogue box. The pinwheel immediately appears after "Comm + O."
I've searched the forums and can't find a solution that works.
I've tried the following:
Removed all copies of CS5.1, CS5.5, and CS6. Reinstalled all CS6 apps.
Updated all CS6 apps to the latest version
Verified that I'm running the latest approved Apple Java from Apple
Updated my Wacom Drivers
Performed a repair permissions through Disk Utility
Unchecked "Displays have separate spaces" in Mission Control
Rebooted several times
Nothing has worked. Any ideas?
I'm considering using Time Machine and and reverting my OS.
FYI - 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro

You (or TimeMachine) didn't restore all the files correctly, and it is crashing because the library cannot be loaded.
Your best bet is to reinstall Photoshop, and let Apple know that TimeMachine is not restoring applications/libraries/frameworks correctly.

Photoshop CS6 not working on new pc

I bought a new laptop and have installed my Photoshop CS6 on it, but it won't work.
I cannot open the old PSD files or even a photo or new blank page.

Hi Trevor - thank you for your interest
Laptop - Toshiba notebook - windows 8
Just purchased since my old laptop was struggling to run Photoshop.
I downloaded my CS6 extended version directly from my Adobe page.
Photoshop opens and looks all good, but when I try to open an existing PSD file, Jpeg or start a new one - nothing happens at all
It has also started to 'not respond' as per task manager - at first it allowed me to keep trying to open things with nothing happening, now it is freezing and I have to close via task manager.
It even froze when I tried to open preferences.
I am currently waiting for a reinstall to complete
I have successfully installed Lightroom with no issues (just tried it, to make sure, and all ok)

Photoshop CS6 not working with new version of Yosemite. Please help!

When I was running Mavericks on my Macbook pro 15" Intel i7,everything seemed to be working completely fine. Now when I try to run Photoshop CS6 on Yosemite, the program keeps on crashing and giving me an error. Please help!

Sometimes the Yosemite upgrade breaks the install. You may have to uninstall and reinstall CS6, and do so as an administrator.

Photoshop cs6 not working

I have a macbook pro, running yosemite and my photoshop was working. Today I tried to open and it kept hanging up and becoming unresponsive. I tried to reinstall and update and it still is not working.
I cannot think of anything new or different that I have done with computer. I also opened illustrated and indesign without any problems.It is a creative suite design and web premium bought about 2 years ago as a student.I don't know what else to try. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Awesome, glad it's working for you now! Thank you for checking back and letting us know what the issue was. Be sure to mark the solving post (your last post; non-compatible plugin) as correct. This will mark the issue solved and will help other users find solutions to similar problems.
Just an FYI for you and anyone else who reads this: holding the Shift key as you start Photoshop will give you the option to skip loading third party plugins.

Problem with filters not finding an image in LR 4.0 after being edited in Photoshop CS6 beta

I am running Lightroom 4.0 on a Win7 Professional 64-bit system. I have come up with a strange problem I can describe but don't know how it can more generally be duplicated, unless this is a Photoshop CS6 beta bug.
I am looking through in Library module at a shoot. When I filter by a keyword that some of the pictures have, a recently edited image does not show up. Here is what I mean; let X=IMG_6260:
1) For X.CR2, edit in Photoshop CS5. All works well - X-ed.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
2) Clicking on X-ed.tif, edit in Photoshop CS6 beta. All seems fine - X-ed-2.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
3) The keywords on all three images - the original and the two edits - are the same. I can confirm that by, in grid view, selecting these three and noting no asterisks in the composite keyword view. One of the keywords is the person's name - let's say it is "Sara".
4) Now, when I click in the keyword list on "Sara", all images in this most recently imported set show up with her *except* X-ed-2.tif - the one created by CS6 beta.
Strange! Should this be reported in a CS6 forum? Thanks.

Yep, it returns nothing. Debug output seems to be largely irrelevant except this oddity:

Edit in Photoshop CS6 doesn't work with Nikon D800E NEF files in LR 4.1 RC

The "Edit in Photoshop CS6" menu item or shortcut (cmd+e) doesn't work for NEF files from a Nikon D800E in Lightroom 4.1 RC. What happens is that LR looks like it goes through all its normal paces, and launches Photoshop, and the CPU spins, but then nothing happens in Photoshop, the image never opens.
This works fine for NEF files from other cameras.

Set up CS6 as an secondary editor, and then it will use LR's built-in ACR to process the files, instead of the external ACR with CS6. The external ACR 6.7 also processes D800, just not ACR 7 just yet.

Lightroom won't open photoshop CS6.. Edit in Photoshop doesn't work

Lightrrom 4.2 can't use the right click, "edit in" photoshop CS6. I have tried edit, preferences, and created a Preset and pointed it to the CS6 photoshop.exe... still a no-go. Help!!!

I had this problem. You must run Lightroom as administrator - even if the account you are in has administrator priviliges.
Test if this is the problem you are having by opening lightroom in administrator mode:
Open Windows explorer and navigate to where the lightroom.exe file is located.
Usualy in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4
Right click on lightroom.exe and select "Run as administrator" from the pop up menu.
Test by selecting a photo and selecting the "Edit in Adobe photoshop CS6" option.
If this works then close lightroom and go back to the "lightroom.exe" folder location,
rightclick on the lightroom.exe file but select "properties", then select the "compatibility" tab and
select "change settings for all users" button.
A box called compatibility for all users should appear, at the bottom there is a checkbox "privilige level"
make sure the "run this program as administrator is checked".
Close lightroom and reopen it.
Hope this helps.

After editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4

after editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4 can anyone help?

In Library, set your sort order to Filename instead of Added order and see if the files show up, then.
How are you doing the Save in PS, using Save or Save As—one will show up, one won’t, I think, but I don’t remember which.

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.
