Edit in Photoshop Dialog

All of a sudden I stopped getting the dialog box asking me how I wanted to edit a Lightroom file (edit copy, edit copy with LR edits, edit orginal) and it goes directly to Photoshop and after I make corrections it won't save back into LR as an edited file. Any idea why this stopped working?

I may have found that there is no problem here.
First, I was opening a RAW file with Photoshop and RAW goes directly into PS with no dialog (I now know). I think I may have had a filter active for the filstrip which would explain why I didn't see the edited version right away.
Hopefully that is the problem and this will be the end of it. Maybe someone else will solve their problem with my screw up.
Thanks,
E.B.

  • LR 2.1RC - Still No Dialog Box w/ "Edit in Photoshop CS3" Option

    I downloaded Lightroom 2.1RC today and installed it with reserved enthusiasm, hoping that I could finally get the options popup box to display when I choose "Edit in Photoshop CS3" after right clicking a photo. I still have the same problem I did w/ 2.0: after right clicking a photo as mentioned above, specifically a RAW file, and choosing "Edit in Photoshop CS3" from the popup box that appears, instead of getting the options list where you can choose whether to open a copy of the file with lightroom adjustments, etc. it just exports the raw file directly to photoshop without converting it to my chosen format of psd. I've also tried setting the conversion file format to tiff and this didn't work either. I get an image on the photoshop desktop that has the .cr2 file extension appended to it. Apparently no conversion was done by lightroom. I'm running the following:
    Pentium 4 3.0 GHz
    WinXP SP2
    4 GB RAM

    Thanks for your quick reply, Jeff. If I understand your explanation, what I'm experiencing sounds like expected normal behavior. However, that doesn't explain why the options box comes back when I choose Photoshop as an additional editor and go that route.
    I remember getting the options dialogue box when I chose "edit in Photoshop CS3" in Lightroom 1.4.1. Have they changed the process used to send an image to Photoshop from Lightroom in v2.0?
    I did happen to pull up a post from another user who was having the same issues I describe here and this is the response he got:
    "KED, this is fixed with PSCS4, due out soon. CS4 was the first to have such integration and to get it the provided 10.0.1, So it is an evolving dance between the two. This is a CS thing, not a LR one. PSCS, needs the right hooks for the pass off to happen, AFAIK, and the come more completely with CS4!
    Don"
    Sounds like the issue may lie on Photoshop's side of things?

  • Problem with "Edit in Photoshop"

    Hi,
    When I "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom, the photo loads correctly into Photoshop, and I can save my changes, but when I return to Lightroom, my changes are not automatically imported.  I have to click "Import..." to find the changes, and manully import them.
    How to I enable automatic imports of the changed made in Photoshop?
    Somestimes, I get a grey thumbnail after returning from Photoshop.  Clicking on the thumbnail gives the message: "Filename-Edit.tif could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?  Previous location:   Correct path to file, except starts with "C:/", and should start with "E:/".  If I locate the correct file, it is imported, but it has an exclamation point on the thumbnail.  Clicking on the exclamation point produces the message: "The medata data for this photo has be changed by both Lighroom and another application.  Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settins with those form the catalog?"
    I'm using Lightroom 5.0, Camera Raw 8.1, Photoshop CS6 (Versionh 13.0.1) under 64-bit Windows 7
    Thanks
    Brent

    Thank you for this information regarding the dialog box! 
    My problem is with LR 2.3 and CS4 Photoshop.  When I select "edit in Photoshop CS4", Photoshop starts, but the file doesn't open. 
    If I select "open as smart Object" in Photoshop, the file opens. 
    Previously, with CS3, I had no problems opening raw files for edit!

  • Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

    I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9.  I make changes, they
    look OK so I save it.  When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made.  However when I go
    back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
    This means it can't find the original.  They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening?  Why does it look like the changes
    are make and then I can't find them?

    I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
    pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
    back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
    do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

    >> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
    If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
    correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
    However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
    open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
    there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
    external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
    you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

  • Odd Issue Editing in Photoshop with color and lens corrections

    First off, I'm on LR 4.4 and PS CS6 (Camera Raw 7.4.0.137) using ProPhoto RGB as my LR colorspace and have my PS color settings as Working Space: ProPhoto RGB and my color management policies to preserve embedded profiles.
    When I right click on a DNG in LR and choose "Edit in Photoshop", LR sends it to PS and PS does its "Reading in Camera Raw Format" and opens the image.  However, the colors are off (very muted) and any lens corrections I've applied in LR are missing.  My monitor (iMac on OSX 10.8) is calibrated with a Spyder.  I've also noticed that if I choose to edit in another application, it renders the tiff fine and the color and lens corrections are correct in the tiff. 
    Anyone have any ideas what my issue is?
    Thanks,
    Matt
    ETA: After some experimenting, it seems that the "Adobe Standard" profile is what gets sent to Photoshop.  The rest (Camera Landscape, Portrait, etc.) are ignored. What's going on here?

    Sounds like you need to reset your warning dialog. Preferences>General>Prompts [Reset all warning dialogs]
    Then try it again and make certain of the three choices you are Editing a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments.

  • "Edit in Photoshop" not working after 3.3 update...

    It seems as though after updating to version 3.3, my "edit in photoshop" functionality has stopped working.  When I choose this option, Photoshop will open, but Lightroom does not bring up a dialog for exporting the photo, nor do I see a progress bar in lightroom for exporting of the photo as I used to.
    I can (and have) create a user preset for exporting to accomplish the same functionality, but has anyone else experienced this problem?  is there a quick fix?

    Sorry, I did not get it before that PS opens but no image.
    Well, LR 3.3 and CS3 are not fully compatible indofar as CS3 cannot open a RAW image that has been rendered with the new ACR of LR3.
    It was still possible under LR 3.2 - I've done it nuemerous times, but was told on this forum that this was only due to a "bug" that had been "fixed" in LR 3.3.
    I now have CS5 but still have CS3 installed.
    When I try to open a RAW image from LR 3.3 with CS3 all what happens is that LR renders a TIFF (my specification for Additional External Editor) but CS3 does not open.
    So, maybe you have to bite the bullet and upgrade to CS5.
    Or, export your Raw Image as a psd and then open it from CS3.

  • 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

  • Edit in Photoshop CS6 (version 13.0.1 x64) from Lightroom 5.2

    I have an image in Lightroom 5 where I have not made any adjustments and I want to Edit In Photoshop CS 6, When I go to Photo>Edit In> Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS6, Photoshop opens without first displaying the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop CS6 What to Edit" dialog.
    However, if I make any adjustments to an image in the Develop module in Lightroom 5 and the choose to go to Photo>Edit In> Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS6, nothing happens. The "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop CS6 What to Edit" dialog does not appear and Photoshop CS6 does not open.
    Can anyone help me correct this problem?
    Here is an image of the dialog that should appear.

    I've been into photography since the early 1970s and have a boatload of Olympus OM Series bodies, lenses and accessories. I haven't shot a roll of film in about 10-years, but I've been scanning my old slides and negatives using both a Plustek 7600i film scanner and Canon 9000F flatbed scanner. I do my initial capture, cropping, and spot removal using PS and then generally everything else inside LR. I used to do everything in PS, but LR is faster and allows keywording, etc. all-in-one application. I also use Bridge to organize and locate all of my project assets, since it allows keywording and creating collections using all file types, including, pictures, videos, music, PDFs, InDesign and other Adobe application files. Keywording works  fine Bridge>LR>Bridge.

    Up until the time I received your message I had not changed the profile names in the DNG ProfileManager. I just now changed the name on the original profile, and yes it now works with the EDIT-In command. What I would like to do is delete the second and third profiles I created from the original image but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it.
    The easiest way to do this is from inside the DNG ProfileManager. Highlight the files you want to delete and then go to File>Delete. If you make a mistake simply go to the recycle bin, restore the file(s), and inside DNG Profile Manager select File> Reload Profiles.
    WARNING: This will cause all files that have been assigned the profile to revert to Adobe Standard profile.
    I learned this the hard way! If you want to delete a currently used profile and replace it with another, you must keep the exact same name! You can also change the profile on all images assigned to it by using AnyFilter> Color Profile = 'PROFILE NAME.' Then Sync the new profile across the images. Once complete you can then delete the old profile.
    Don't forget to adjust your White Balance settings, which may be different for each camera profile and in some cases each image (i.e. different lighting condition).

  • Lightroom does not create a background layer when editing in Photoshop - on Mac.

    Thought this was a Photoshop problem.  When I select a portion of an image in Photoshop (which has come from Lightroom) and press Delete, it no longer brings up the Fill dialog; it just deletes the pixels.
    After some discussion on the Photoshop forum, I see that now, when I tell Lightroom "Edit in Photoshop", it creates a file which does not have a Background layer, and this causes the Delete key to act differently.  This was not the case several weeks ago, but has just started to happen.  Is there any adjustment I can make to the "Edit In" settings to get a Background layer in Photoshop?
    JK

    You must have changed a setting in Photoshop because  Lr has no influence on how Photoshop treats the background layer.
    There is nothing you can do in Lr to change this behavior of Photoshop.
    What happens in Photoshop is this: For some reason the image is opened with transparent background.Such an image does not have a background layer and the layer at the bottom does not have the constraints of a regular background layer.
    I am not aware of any command or script in Photoshop that would automatically do this on opening a file.
    Try this: Reset your Workspace (>Window >Workspace). If that doesn't help I'd suggest to ask on the Photoshop forum why your Photoshop opens an image with transparent background.
    You could also try to re-install Photoshop, supposedly this would reset any hidden settings that are causing this.

  • Why does Lightroom color not match when editing in Photoshop CS3

    I just started Using Lightroom 4, the only version of lightroom that I have used. Short version, saves me heaps of time. But I went to edit more in photoshop and noticed that the color is dramatically different. I have Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1)and the color space is ProPhoto to match lightroom. If I make edits in lightroom, say removing dust spots, it shows in the photoshop version. It seems that on the shadow side is where it really shows. My workflow would be to import as original RAW in lightroom 4 (canon 1d mark II) and go about editing. Right click to edit in Photoshop CS3, and this is where colors go crazy. Then if I save the file with no edits done in Photoshop and compare side by side in lightroom, they are completely different. What is causing the drastic difference?
    These are screenshots where in the left screenshot the original image is the dark image and the lighter is what it looks like when opened in Photoshop. The compare in lightroom on the right screenshot is what it looks like when I saved the file from Photoshop. So how does opening in Photoshop, then hitting save change the image? If i make the edit in lightroom then export the jpeg and open in photoshop, I get the appropriate color, exactly the same as my original lightroom raw. 
    My external editor settings in lightroom are tiff, prophoto colorspace.
    photoshop preferences are to preserve embedded profiles.

    Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, when you "Edit in" Photoshop CS3, it should give a warning dialog that says the version of ACR in Photoshop isn't compability, with the option "Open anyway" (won't work well) or "Render in Lightroom" (which should be fine).  Or, if you've created your own "Edit in" preset, you should get the option "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments". 
    So long as you've chosen "Render in Lightroom" or "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (depending on how you've edit up "Edit in...") then colour should be OK. 
    Colour options in PS should be something like:
    Check all the "Ask when..." options, just to make sure you get warned of mis-matches.  And I suggest the RGB policy should be "preserve...". 
    And the final thing: to be sure of no colour mis-match, you need a calibrated/profiled monitor (with a hardware tool like Spyder, ColorMunki, Eye-One etc).  When there isn't a monitor profile containing a colour space (which needs a hardware tool, generally) then different programs can make different assumptions and display the same image differently. 

  • Lightroom 3's "edit in photoshop CS4" does not preserve "detail" values

    Hi all,
    I am giving lightroom 3 a try (finally...), but noticed that when I have an image to which I have applied "detail" adjustments to reduce luminescence and color noise, using "edit in Photoshop CS4" opens the image without the detail adjustments applied. I don't see the option to pick whether to edit "the image" or "the image with lightroom settings" anywhere, and I'm scratching my head trying to find an option in the preferences (both LR and Catalog prefs) that lets me pick "edit with lightroom settings applied".
    It's a bit useless this way =/
    Does anyone know how to make "edit in ..." for lightroom 3 always apply the image corrections to the edit copy?

    I had been looking for that option, turns out the only way to get it back was to reset all warning dialogs. After telling LR to render with lightroom, things look great again.
    Thanks!

  • 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

    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 - no options

    Hi
    I am using Lightroom 2.3 and Photoshop CS4
    I was able to to right click on an image and edit in photoshop and then a list of options opens as follows:
    In the Library module or Develop module, select the photos you want to edit, and choose Photo > Edit In Adobe Photoshop or Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    In the Edit Photo dialog box, select one of the following:
    Edit Original
    Edits the original file without Lightroom adjustments. (JPEG, TIFF, and PSD only)
    Edit A Copy
    Edits a copy of the original file without Lightroom adjustments. (JPEG, TIFF, and PSD only)
    Edit A Copy With Lightroom Adjustments
    Edits a copy of the original file with Lightroom adjustments visible.When sending a copy to the external editor, the newly created file is automatically added to the librar
    But now - I Think since the LR 2.3 upgrade - the image simply opens in PS - no options are given and it does not open in the RAW Editor - my guess I have a settings to adjust but I can not find it any one offer any help?
    Matt

    Well obviously the LR team was well aware that this was a common workflow for Graphic Designers or they would not have left in that functionality and given (3) vs (1) optional method of round-tripping? It is not creating any problem that it is there - I was just trying to understand why someone would want to make a second round of LR adjustments?
    I totally understand why I would want to (and do) perform many INITIAL edits to the overall image in LR before going to Photoshop both for ease of use, non-destructive/re-settable edits on the 16-bit RAW file itself, but once those edits have been made and the image is then sent to and manipulated in Photoshop and returned to LR (maybe as even an 8-bit image), why would I attempt to make further LR adjustments to a non-RAW version?
    As far as "why" I would even want to open it is Photoshop - because Photoshop does not only do "a lot" of things LR won't - more like "millions" of things LR can't! A professional Photographer may be able to survive without Photoshop at all as many just make "adjustments" to photos and sell photos. For me, the photos are usually just a "starting" place. I don't have hundreds, but "thousands" of dollars in Photoshop plugins to create things that could never be accomplished n LR. Photoshop is just the central "engine" for me (and the cheapest part of my upgrades as well). Some of my Photoshop files end up with over 100 layers alone - none of which are photo-quality adjustments.
    In my case, I am BOTH a professional Photographer AND a Graphic Designer. So, ALL my RAW photos "start" in LR and it is a great way to review, compare, sort, RAW and general image-adjusted files - also great for online web proofs to clients, but when it gets to "creative" work or the images go into 3D, After Effects, animated elements, Flash, etc. Photoshop is usually the next step.
