Edit in Photoshop - Image Reset?

It appears that when image is opened in PS via "Edit in" command, all develop settings are removed and image is back to as-shot colors, contrast, etc. How can I avoid this, and edit/print the image as it appears in LR?

Not as far as I know. PSE opens a new image in the editing window according to its own internal formula for size.

Preset Issues with 'Edit in Photoshop' image

Hi guys, I'm running LR3 and CS5 on a MBP Lion, and I'm working directly with RAW files. I have adjusted the images in LR and used 'edit in photoshop' to correct blemishes on some photos. I want to apply some presets at the end to render a couple of different looks (B/W and Vintage) to the final edited image. However, I find that after the file comes back from PS, it looks good, but the photo gets 'normalized' and the develop module tools get reset to zero. Hence my presets totally blow the 'edited in photoshop' image while it works just fine on the original raw.
I have also tried to work on the original image prior to any LR adjustments. Same thing, after coming back from PS, both stacked files look similar, but at the time of running the preset, the 'edited in photoshop' file gets blown out.
I do not have any auto adjust settings turned on. No presets running on import/export. What am I doing wrong?
I really appreciate any help!

when you edit a RAW file in PS and save it you will have a demosaiced file (TIF, PSD or JPG).
they behave different then RAW files. so sliders will probably have a different effect on a JPG file then it will have on a RAW file.
it will not be possible i think, to get the EXACT same look when you apply a preset afterwards.
for example the highlights will not have so much headroom in a TIF or JPG ... compared to the original RAW.
so i think the best is to apply the presets first, render the files with the LR settings and open in PS as smart object.

*HELP* why are "edit in photoshop" images smaller?

Ok, for the life of me (I've searched this forum high and low and can't find an answer) I cannot figure out why when I go to "edit in phototshop" my images end up being around 7x13 instead of full size. I always import the images in full resolution (from my Canon 5D).
Of course I can select the entire catalog and "export" and change the size to whatever I want to but I'm afraid when I'm opening them up in CS5 from LR3 that I'm losing image quality.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
Is there an adjustment that will allow me to "edit in" in FULL file size in CS5?
If not and I save the files in CS5, then I see them edited in my LR catalog and I go to export them and make the image size larger (say 20x30 from the 9x13) that it opened up as in CS5, is there IQ loss?
Hope that made sense.
Any help is appreciated!

You are not the only person who has been confused by this.
For digital images, the resolution in pixels per inch, or pixels per centimeter, are truly meaningless. They do not affect the exported photo in any way. The same is true for the Edit In ... dialog box. The result of an "Edit In ..." is always a digital file.
If you are exporting with the goal of printing an image, then you could set the units to inches, and select pixels per inch, and for example, if you wanted to print a 4x6, you could set the long edge in the Export dialog box to 6 inches and the resolution to 300 pixels per inch, and voila you get an image that has 1800 pixels on its long edge, this downsamples the image, and may not be strictly necessary if your image is actually larger than you need.
A "Better" way to think about this is the following example — my image is going to be printed at 8x10 inches, I want it to print at 300 pixels per inch, therefore I multiply 8x10 time 300 and discover that I need 2400x3000 pixels (or more!) in order to print properly.
So with the above explanation, I still have no idea why Edit In ... contains a resolution box, as you can always change the final size in your auxiliary editor. Having a resolution field in the Export Dialog box might make some sense in printing situations.

How do I edit a photoshop image to fit a specific shape in Illustrator?

I placed a photo from Photoshop into Illustrator. I am trying to place the photo into a certain shape. I want to photo to fill up the whole shape. I tried all of the placing options-bleed, trim, art, crop, and media. None of them worked. Please help!!

purplerain,
The path to serve as the Clipping Path needs to be a single path, possibly in the form of a compound path. Is it?
If it is, and if you can see both the (compound) path and the image highlighted (on the Artboard/in the Layers palette/wherevere) when selected, something may have become stranger than usual.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Edit in Photoshop TIFF Compression Not Applied

I'm running LR4.1 on Windows 7 and have my LR 'External Editing' preferences set to 'ZIP' compression. When I 'Save' an 'Edit In' file from inside PS CS6 it does not apply ZIP compression. I verified this by checking the file size, then resaving using 'Save As' and selecting 'ZIP' compression in the save file options. The file size was reduced as expected, so LR is creating a TIFF file that does not respect my preferences setting for 'ZIP' compression.
In addition the TIFF file created by LR4.1 'Edit In' defaults to Macintosh 'Byte Order:
There is no LR 'Preferences' setting to change the 'Byte Order' to IBM PC, yet many agencies specifically want TIFF files with Intel/PC byte order. I will now have to go back and manually change these settings on any images sent to these agencies. In addition I will have to manually do a 'Save As' and reset these TIFF options for all future LR 'Edit In' Photoshop images.
Does anyone else have the same issue and/or have a more suitable solution?
Message was edited by: trshaner I forgot to add that once you 'Save' a LR 'Edit In' image in PS, the TIFF save dialouge toggles to Macintosh 'Byte Order. This means you have to manually change it in PS the next time ANY TIFF file is opened and resaved inside, to re-toggle it back to the preferred settings.

That's a very good question. Go to this post with last comment from one year ago:
Lightroom/Photoshop: TIFF compression settings have no effect when Lightroom sends image to Photoshop for editing
Scroll down to this post and click on 'view 2 more comments.'
You can use Image Processor Pro to apply compression to multiple TIFFs already processed, but there's no option in it for also adding ZIP layer compression.

"Edit in Photoshop CC" launches Photoshop, but doesn't open the image.

I'm working on a Mac with Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. When I select "Edit in Photoshop CC" from Lightroom, Photoshop launches, but the image doesn't open up. What is going on? This is a new problem since loading Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CC - it worked normally on my machine with previous versions.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've been dealing with this problem for almost a month now and still no solution. Here's what I've tried:
- Installed PS 2014 with pre-existing PS CC and LR 5.5 with pre-existing LR 5.4. Then...
- Uninstalled LR 5.5 and PS 2014, reinstalled PS2014 first, LR second. Didn't work.
- Did the opposite - reinstalled LR5.5 first, PS2014 second. Didn't work.
- Removed PS CC and LR 5.4, reinstalled LR 5.5 and PS 2014 (in both orders). Didn't work.
- Removed everything Adobe from the computer:
   - Creative Cloud, PS CC, PS 2014, LR 5.4 and 5.5
   - Deleted everything I could find relating to PS CC, PS 2014, LR 5.4 and 5.5.
   - Ran AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe to remove all traces.
   - Reinstalled Creative Cloud, PS 2014 and LR 5.5. Didn't work.
   - Uninstalled PS 2014 and LR 5.5, reinstalled in reverse order. Didn't work.
One clue to the problem I stumbled across by accident leads me to believe the problem is something to do with ACRaw. If I try to open a JPG in LR 5.5 it opens fine in PS 2014. However if I try to open a RAW file (Nikon's NEF format) I get the "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 could not be launched" message.
This is driving me buggy. Without the ability to go back and forth between LR and PS, the whole workflow is ruined.
Any new thoughts?
Thanks, EdB

Editing non-raw image files in Adobe Photoshop

Hi,
I am currently digging into the world of Lightroom and setting up a work flow which in my case needs to include editing non-raw files in Adobe Photoshop.
Please bear in mind that I am quite new to Lightroom so I am not sure I have found all shortcuts and settings to manipulate.
I will explain what I trying to do (and why) and hope that the community can comment and help put if possible.
I myself shoot almost everything in RAW format, and I have been using Photoshop (PS) and Camera Raw (ACR) for some years now. I am now on Photoshop CS6.
But now the amount of images to handle requires a CMS, so I went for Lightroom 4 - hoping/believing that I would find an effective and efficient work flow integration between the two Adobe products.
But I am more and more also helping others to enhance their images, and I most often get jpg files as image source.
I am used to using PS layers, filters, smart objects etc extensively to do what I want to do.
OK, I admin that I already use ACR quite a lot, and sometimes even as the only tool even for jpg images.
I have began diving/snorkeling with friends and often the images we bring back home is in jpg format, and so far I still believe that the best image "restoration" can be done in Photoshop using adjustment layers, channel mixing and filters to get satisfactory results.
So now on to my concerns and issues:
1) Lightroom user interface efficiency - "Edit in"
When I want to edit a jpg image in Photoshop I :
action
comment
- left click image to select it
ok, I agree this is needed
- right click image to bring up context menu
ok, I agree this is needed
- move cursor to "Edit in", and wait for another context menu
ok, ...
- click "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6"
Yes that's want I want
- Lightroom presents the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop CS6" selection menu.
Yes I know, I saw it the last
nnn times I did it
- if I need option "Edit a Copy" or "Edit Orginal" I move cursor again, left click to select ,
   move cursor to Edit and left click
- and finally Lightroom sends the jpg image to Photoshop as a jpg image
No, I want a tiff file since that
is what I have set up in
preferences
OK, I know that I can also use the keyboard instead of mouse for this, but the number of actions required from my side is pretty much unchanged.
For a quick working, Lightroom and PS skilled person, this is just annoying.
Is this effecient?     Well it depends. For Lightroom beginners this is good. But for me it is a true annoying obstacle
2) Lightroom "Edit in" - is it effective
Is this effective?     I say no.      I have specified in preferences that I want PS to receive a TIFF file in Adobe RGB 1998 color space
                                                   Also, I cannot change to TIFF in PS without losing the link between the two images. (If I do, the new TIFF file is not imported by Lightroom, so I have to that manually)
I have found out that I can choose the path "Select image - select "Open as Smartobject in Adobe Photoshop".
This will give me a tiff file, and when saved in PS the jpg and tiff files are linked and Lightroom has automatically imported the tiff file into the Catalog.
What I need / what I would like to know / what I would like to have:
* Is there a (customizable) keyboard shortcut that enables me to: Select Picture + Use shortcut - and then I end up in Photoshop (with the Edit option I use 90% of the time) ?
* Is there a preference that I can set so that jpg images also are opened as tiff files in Photoshop per default?
* Is there a way to select multiple images and launch them all in Photoshop (and keeping the link between the jpg and tiff files) ?
* I would like a preference setting allowing me to choose that any new file coming back from Photoshop (after "Edit in" ) is written to a sub-folder, or to a specific folder set by me.
   This would align with my work flow for jpg handling, where the jpg is the "original" and the tiff file is what will eventually end up as image "master" (from where I print, or produce web / HDTV jpg's).
* Is there a way to automatically launch a Photoshop Action on the file coming from Lightroom?
   This would also help in my work flow. E.g. I have currently 100 jpg's and avi files which are UW (under water shots) and the adjustment layers I build are always the same (to start with).
   Of course, I can launch the Action once I am in Photohop - but again, doing 1-5 times is ok, doing it more than 100 times ...
* I am skilled computer programmer - can I use Lightroom SDK to write plug-ins to achieve the above enhancements ?
Regards
Bosse W

* Is there a (customizable) keyboard shortcut that enables me to: Select Picture + Use shortcut - and then I end up in Photoshop (with the Edit option I use 90% of the time) ?
-- The keyboard shortcut Command/Ctrl+E will perform steps 2-4 in your above list. You only have to click the Edit button, as the last choice (Edit Original, Edit Copy, Edit Copy with LR adjustments) will be remembered.
* Is there a preference that I can set so that jpg images also are opened as tiff files in Photoshop per default?
-- No, a JPEG in Lightroom will always open as a JPEG in Photoshop. If you have made changes to the file that are not supported by the JPEG format (e.g. added a layer) when you go to save the file, it will be saved as either a TIFF or PSD, based on the preference in Lightroom.
* Is there a way to select multiple images and launch them all in Photoshop (and keeping the link between the jpg and tiff files) ?
-- Yes, select all the files you want to edit, and use the keyboard shortcut, menu command, or right-click context menu command.
* I would like a preference setting allowing me to choose that any new file coming back from Photoshop (after "Edit in" ) is written to a sub-folder, or to a specific folder set by me.
   This would align with my work flow for jpg handling, where the jpg is the "original" and the tiff file is what will eventually end up as image "master" (from where I print, or produce web / HDTV jpg's).
-- No, there is no automatic way to do this. If you use the Edit a Copy method, the copy is created instantly in the same folder as the original.
* Is there a way to automatically launch a Photoshop Action on the file coming from Lightroom?
   This would also help in my work flow. E.g. I have currently 100 jpg's and avi files which are UW (under water shots) and the adjustment layers I build are always the same (to start with).
   Of course, I can launch the Action once I am in Photohop - but again, doing 1-5 times is ok, doing it more than 100 times ...
-- Yes and No, this is not something that can be setup in Lightroom, but you can set it up in Photoshop using the Script Events Manager.
* I am skilled computer programmer - can I use Lightroom SDK to write plug-ins to achieve the above enhancements ?

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.

Edit in Photoshop opens images upside down

I'm using Lightroom 2.0 and PhotoShop CS3.
I'm on an Intel Mac running Leopard, with Lightroom 2.0 and Photoshop 10.0.1
I have a problem with opening images in Photoshop from Lightroom where those images were taken on a particular camera - a Fuji FinePix 9500.
Choosing Edit in Photoshop CS3 from the Lightroom Library module opens these images upside down.
Choosing Open as smart object in Photoshop also opens these images upside down.
The images are DNG files but trying the same action with the original RAW files displays the same problem.
Opening the same files directly into Photoshop CS3 displays the images correctly.
Opening the same files from Bridge CS3 displays the images correctly
Opening the same files from Lightroom version 1 displayed the images correctly.
Opening files from an older Fuji FinePix 4900 open correctly in Photoshop.
In Lightroom itself, the thumbnails, loupe views and slideshow images are all oriented correctly.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
David Wood

Probably the same bug that opens my D70 images rotated 90 degrees. No problems with my other cameras, only the D70. Adobe know about it, but it would be worth logging your bug on their report form:-

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Lr 5.5 edit in Photoshop CC 2014 - Images do not open

Selecting Edit in Photoshop 2014 on an image in Lr opens Photoshop CC 2014 but the image is not displayed.
If I select an image and select Open as Smart Object in Photoshop the image does open as as Smart Object but editing and then saving brings this error;
Error 2: Photoshop is undefined
Line: 1
-> photoshop.notifyLightroomDocSaved ('lightroom-2.0', 'E8D76F76-4AE5-4472-A7D3-0E3576BFD15B', 'Macintosh HD:Users:peterrhawkes:Pictures:Lightroom:Mobile Downloads.lrdata:6959b167a59aeb71e30bca65b3b2eb1f4d6d936f79e42399a777ef8329e04a7d:IMG_079 6-Edit-0009.psd');
Pulling my hair out as PS is now unusable with Lr and cannot see a way of going back and reinstalling Photoshop CC - is there a known cure for this?!
Peter R Hawkes

Went to the link and looked at the Install section and followed this;
Open the Creative Cloud app, and go to the Apps panel.
Filter the apps by Previous Versions.
Choose a version from the Install menu.
I installed Photoshop CC and set this up as my alternative edit program in Lr and it works!!
Thank you!
