Edit in photoshop not working from external drive

The command works fine on files stored on my internal drive, however, for files on my external photoshop just opens but the file does not appear. Lightroom 5 - any ideas? (On a mac)

Every camera model has to be profiled and programmed for specifically since the sensors are generally different as that is a key thing the manufacturers are working on to improve, so if your version of software is older than the camera then the software won't know how to deal with the raw data.
You haven't answered the question what versions of what software are you using? You can use Help / About Photoshop or Help / About Lightroom or Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw or About Plug-ins / Camera Raw depending on what version of what software you're trying to determine the version of.
The other thing to know is that Adobe doesn't update older versions of their software for newer cameras--they only update whatever the current selling version is at the time, so if you have, for example, PS-CS5 or Lightroom 4.x then those obsolete software versions would never be updated to handle cameras that were new to market, this year, since the current versions of software are LR 5.x, PS-CS6 and PS-CC..

Edit in Photoshop not working from Lightroom

Hi, I've just upgraded to CS5 and LR 3.2. From within LR I can Edit in Photoshop Elements but the Edit in Photoshop doesn't work. Just get some screen refresh flashing around, "Loading" displays then nothing. Even with CS5 already up and running. Anyone got any good news for me?
John

If configuring it as above didn't work, did you by chance, after doing the upgrade, remove an earlier adobe product? This often happens when people upgrade by installing CS5 and LR, then uninstall CS4, for example. You need to (easiest way) reinstall CS5 and LR should be able to see it.
There are other threads in the archive about it..
If, of course you haven't uninstalled anything, then there are other remedies in the archives as well (including a registry update method).
In any event, good luck!
Cheers!

Some attachment buttons not working from external networks

Hi guys,
We have an eSourcing system that we access internally from server.internal.com . We also make this eSourcing system available to external vendors through www.external.com .
The external access is done using a Citrix AGEE system (reverse proxy, etc.). As part of this, the AGEE has the ability to change the hostname in the URL so the real server is hidden from external vendors. For example, when eSourcing generates a webpage, the AGEE searches through and replaces all http://server.internal.com references to http://www.external.com , and vice-versa for incoming calls.
This works for about 95% of the content, but there are a fer places where the links are not re-written correctly. One example is the File Attachment buttons when replying to a question. However, other file attachment buttons work correctly.
1. Does anyone else have a similar situation, using a Citrix or other product for external vendors?
2. Does anyone have a similar problem where certain links/buttons are not working from external networks?
3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?
4. Are there any settings that are specific to external access that may need to be set?
Thanks guys for any help/insight.
Michael.

SAP has re-written some of their code to help rectify the problem. We have also been working with Citrix to provide additional fixes. If anyone else has these problems, apply the latest patch of eSourcing and contact Citrix support to get the AGEE changes needed to make it work.

Spotlight not working with External Drive (Wireless)

I have setup the new Airport Extreme (AE) and connected WD 500GB via USB to the (AE). Spotlight does not recognize the external drive when it is connected to the AE. It will of course work if I directly attach external drive to my Macbook Pro. Any ideas on how to get Spotlight to "see" and index this external drive. Thanks.

I was able to get my Airport disk working using the following Terminal command:
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Maxtor\ HD
Replace Maxtor HD with the name of your HD. (The slash indicates a non-breaking space.)
It took awhile and then it started indexing.

'Edit in Photoshop' not working with RAW photos

I'm not sure when this started happening, but right now I can't open DNG or CR2 files (but JPEGs work fine) in photoshop either via the 'Edit in Photoshop' option, or the 'Merge to Panorama/HDR Pro in Photoshop' option. All it does is open the Photoshop application, but doesn't actually open the files I selected within Photoshop. I was able to add Photoshop CS5 in the 'Additional External Editor' section in the pref. pane which allowed me to open the RAW files in photoshop, but the Panorama and HDR Pro options still don't work. I tried reinstalling Photoshop, updated Camera Raw (and the rest of Adobe's products I have installed) to the latest version, reinstalling Lightroom 3.0, upgrading again back to 3.2, deleting the plist files in ~/Library/Preferences/ for both Lightroom and Photoshop, nothings worked. I'm running on a Mac so the registry hacks I've seen while googling aren't going to fix this issue. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Chris Lucas

Just came across this, which just worked for me (on a Mac):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401629.html
Don't know why it took me so long to come across it, but I just successfully open a CR2 file in Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 3.

"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.

How to move catalog in PSE6 / work from external drive?

Hi, I've just moved my PSE6 catalog to an external hard drive to free up PC memory / improve performance. I've tried a LaCie 2-big 1Tb drive (RAID1) connected via ethernet to my PC with a seperate drive to back that up connected via USB. Moving the catalog's worked fine and it has kept all my keywords too etc Ok too. However, I now have 2 issues:
1) Many of the raw files (.CR2) are now not showing properly in the organiser and instead show as a grey box with zigzag line through it. These files open up ok in editor, so they are still there and catalog abviously still knows how to find them. This doesn't seem to have affected all raw files strangely, only recent ones. PSD files are unaffectedand all show up fine. I've tried changing/updating adobe camera raw several times but hasn't helped.
2) PSE doesn't work as fast as I'd hoped having moved images to an external drive - eg takes quite a while refreshing thumbnails and opening images to edit etc. Is this just something you can't avoid when working off files located on external drives? does anyone have any solutions? I'm moving into commercial phiotography and can eaily take 10-20gb of RAW files every shoot, so couldn't carry on saving to my C drive!
Comments/ideas appreciated!

A couple of comments here. First, moving stuff to an external hard drive does not free up PC memory. If you thought that would happen, you are mistaken.
Raw files not appearing properly in the Organizer is probably a PSE6 bug; see http://www.adobe.com/go/kb403728
I think the speed problems you are noticing might be due to having the catalog file(s) on a networked drive; please read: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Storing_the_catalog

Work from external drive

I would like to work from an external drive. How can I reset the path so that it saves and works from an external hard drive? I'd like to set it up as a scratch disc

Yes. Very easy.
Just drag your current iMovie project to the properly formatted external drive. It will be copied to that drive. Put it into a folder that you name 'Movies.'
Leave the iMovie 6 app on your computer's drive. Then, open the project by clicking on its icon on the external drive. Next time you open iMovie from the dock (if you have it there), it will automatically open the project on the external drive. When you create a new project, the 'Movies' folder on the external drive should appear as an option for the 'Save' location.
I copy my iMovies from drive to drive frequently. If I am working on a particularly complicated movie, I copy it to another external drive (I have four) after major editing. That way, if a disastrous problem occurs with a drive, I will have a recent version so I will not have to recreate the movie from scratch.
You can presume that I have experienced some drive failures in the past

Mac Mini Will not boot from external drive or install disk

Hi,
I just bought a new 2.0 ghz mac mini 1 gb ram. 120gb hdd.
I have a separate external HDD attached and wanted to boot from this. It works with my MBP and IMAC.
When i plug it into the Mac Mini and start up with Option key. It recognizes it.
I then click on it. It automatically reboots.... then grey screen comes on. It goes black after about 10 seconds. then boots into original operating system.
I also tried to use the MAC install Disk, thinking it might be a corruption in the shipped software. It does the same thing.
I have MAC Install DVD on an external drive too. Same issue.
I partitioned the HDD and installed a copy of the Mac install disk onto that with disk utility... Same thing grey screen, then black then back to original operating system.
Not sure what is going on?
thanks
Chris

Hi,
Thanks.
It is running 10.5.8.
I am trying to boot up an external drive with 10.5.8 on it. It works on my Macbook Pro which is running 10.5.8, runs on my IMAC running SL. But doesnt work on the mac mini?
It had been running SL, however there are a number of programs I have like Windows Live Sync which are not yet compatable with SL so i downgraded to 10.5.6 which came with the Mac Mini then loaded all updates.
It seems to just go into an auto reboot as soon as i click on it.
i thought it might be the firmware? Is it possible to downgrade them and then re-install?
I have reset the PRAM.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Photoshop not working as external editor

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago a weird problem has started ocurring. Photoshop stopped working as an external editor. When I click Edit in Photoshop, Photoshop opens and it seems like it's trying to open the image but then nothing happens. It only works when I export the image as a PSD and open it then.
I think I have managed to narrow it down a little because when I click the .dng file in Finder, Photoshop tries to open the file and comes back with an error message saying "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil das Dateiformatmodul die Datei nicht interpretieren kann" which roughly translates to that the file can't be interpreted. I think there may be something wrong with how Lightroom converts DNG files because I can open older files fine. Funnily enough I can even open some (really just a small percentage) of the current .dngs when I can't open others.
I tried reinstalling both Lightroom and Photoshop to no avail. It happens with both Photoshop CS6 and CC.
Anybody else had that problem before or knows how to fix it?
Many thanks,
Manu

EDIT: Have to correct myself - now I'm back to the stathe where PS starts up and won't import the DNG. When I use the "open in other application" command and let Lightroom create a TIFF first I can open the TIFF file in PS without any problem.
Hi,
I have ecountered the same problem a while ago. When selecting a shot to be opened in Photoshop (I run cc and LR 5.3 on a Mac), the program starts up and sometimes (not always) shows some loading activity, then keeps blank. Photoshop has no problems to open the same file when exported to the harddisk as TIFF. The problem stopped after I repaired access rights on my computer. Now PS does open the files, but (just occured today) my DNGs are opened without any adjustment I've done in Lightroom.
Cheers,
Torsten

MBP slow to boot and WILL NOT boot from external drive

I have two problems. First my friends MacBook Pro which is less than a month old is taking long to load. So I did a clean install without installing anything other than what came. Still slow to boot. Sometimes I see a light blue screen for a while before getting into the desktop. She complains of the beachball far too often. She says my MacBook is faster than her Pro, which is not right.
So I came down with my external LaCie drive, which I cloned from my iMac 24". I wasn't able to boot from the external (firewire) drive using her MacBook Pro. I thought my LaCie drive was bad or soemthing, but when I got home, I hooked it up to my MacBook and booted from the external drive just fine. I use SuperDuper to make a bootable clone.
So as it stands now, her computer is slow to boot into the OS, and it won't let me boot from my external drive. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I did a clean install, used cocktail, etc. If it persists, I'll tell her to take it in.
Thanks,
Bryan

Exchange 2013 autodiscover not working from Externally

Hi
i have exchange 2010 sp3(2Mb, 2hub/cas). I installed exchange 2013 servers(2MB, 2CAS). For coexistence i generated new certifcate with new cas from third party. I installed that certificate in that cas and assigned all services. i changed all my virtual
directories service url. I didnt import the new certificate to exchange 2010 cas server and i didnt change url to legacy link.But still iam able to check exchange 2010 user mailbox owa, activesync and autodiscover without any certificate error.
If i try to browse owa, its going to 2013 server, if user is exchange 2010 user and its redirecting to exchange 2010 owa with same link.
But i dont know how above things is working without importing to new certificate...
Main problem is i am not able to configure exchange 2013 users outlookanywhere, Autodiscover from externally...
So in tmg i pointed the outlook anywhere ip address new cas server, now both exchange 2010 and exchange 2013 users while OA from external, its keep on asking password... Not accepting it...
Please help me to fix this issue..

Hi ,
On TMG please have the outlook anywhere rule like below and check the status.
Step
1 :
On the TMG rule - >authentication delegation ---> select the option "no delegation users can authenticate directly"
Step
2 :
on the users tab in the TMG rule - just add "all users" group on that rule.
By having the above settings we have avoided the issues in your environment.
Note : Based on the above setting's , Each and everyone in exchange will have a access to the outlook anywhere from external world , because there would not be having any restriction on the TMG rules.
Please have a look in to the below link , it will give you some ideas which is related to TMG

Edit in Photoshop not working

Edit in Photoshop seems to have stopped working for me, both Edit and Open as Smart Object do not work. Photoshop starts but the file never opens. I'm using Lightroom 5.5, Camera Raw 8.3 and Photoshop CS6. I can of course export to a PS doc and open that.

I think the reason for this "edit-Problem" lies in the fact that you don't use PS CS5.
LR 3 does not work seamlessly with earlier versions of PS - I have worked with LR 3 and CS3 and some things worked and some didn't.
Since I have upgraded to CS 5, all is well.
WW
PS: In case you wondered, I don't get a commission if you buy CS5.

Lightroom edit in Photoshop not working

I have Lightroom 4 and 5. I also have Photoshop cs6 and CC. Iv tried all combonations beetween the four. Lightroom has the option of edit in photoshop available, but does not do anything when i click on it. If photoshop is not running, the comand launches photoshop, but thats it. the immage wont open, and when photoshop us running in the background nothing at all happenes. this issue started last week, but to the best of my knowladge nothing on the computer has changed since before that.

If configuring it as above didn't work, did you by chance, after doing the upgrade, remove an earlier adobe product? This often happens when people upgrade by installing CS5 and LR, then uninstall CS4, for example. You need to (easiest way) reinstall CS5 and LR should be able to see it.

Will iTunes 10.4 upgrade (Lion 64 bit ver) Not Work With External Drives Any More?

Since i upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion today, itunes just cannot play anything without going in to to meltdown. Even short tracks stop and stutter, and movies and TV programs are a no go.
All I get is the dreaded spinning beach ball.
My library is stored on a Firewire 800 external drive as my collection would take up more than my MacBook can hold, but running from an external drive has never been a problem before.
I know the library on the external drives okay, because I was streaming stuff over Airplay to my Apple TV2 half an hour before i did the upgrade, and it was working perfectly.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be or causing it, or how I can rectify it please?
Thank you

Oh yes, I did that several times.
Actually, I think i have found the answer. I think what was happening was that since this was a new iTunes version (and perhaps its moving from 32-bit to 64-bit type program) that it had to re-index it or catalogue it, or something in that vein anyway. I left iTunes open for a couple of hours and the external disk still attached and it now appears to have settled down, and i can report that its now working just fine.
Phew!
Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
