Edit in PSE problem in LR4b

Hi everyone,
Having a problem with getting the 'edit in photoshop elements' function working in LR4. Essentially everything is greyed out so I can't select it.
I can define PSE as a secondary external editor, so I can use the 'Edit in...' function, works perfectly, except I can't use the panorama, HDR etc modes.
I've done all the troubleshooting things I found for this issue in LR3, ie:
- made sure the .plist files have been created and are in the correct place
- deleted them to force PSE to recreate them (and verified that it did),
- deleted the LR4 ones to get them recreated,
- reinstalled PSE and LR4,
- tried restarting between installs etc.
But it seems that LR4 doesn't recognise that PSE is installed.
I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with all the latest updates (according to Apple Update). Its a fresh OS install, nothing else installed (apart from the standard Apple stuff).
Any ideas?

Nope, not at all. They do make that the most prominent thing there.

Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Any way to non-destructively edit in PSE and save edits ?

any way to non-destructively edit in PSE ? or is this only available in CS and LR ....I would like to use Viveza and to be able to save my edits.
thanks

It is the way Apple has chose to deal with external editor edits.... as I have wrote below in various other threads so no one else has to talk to someone for over two hours on the same thing....
Okay.... so after being on the phone with an Apple senior developer for 2 hrs and 29 minutes, the duplicating of originals has been completely intentional.
Basically, in a nutshell, we have lost the ability to revert back to previous versions of a photo. So, KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL!!!!!!!! Once you make an edit in an external editor, there is no going back unless you go back to the original. There is no reversing any edit in an external edit.
It only makes a copy off the original. So, if you make an edit of an edit, you will only have access to the photo where it is after the second edit. The revert to original does not work on external edits.
I gave suggestions on how to make an original automatically hide or be tagged somehow so it can be hidden and also a check before you delete..... I discussed many different ways of going about this (other than reverting to the way '09 worked)... not sure what they will come up with. But, I played around a lot with this new way of editing... and I could give a full scenario of what is happening with your photos as you edit... but, basically, it seems that Apple has met Windows in this '11 upgrade in that if you want to access different steps of a series of edits, you need to make copies as you go.

External edit with PSE 12? I get an empty window.

I am running Aperture 3.5.1 in current version of Mavericks on a MAcBook Pro. I am trying to use PSE 12 as an external editor to resize, merge and some other stuff I want to do prior to printing on an Epson 3880.
When I try to send a file to PSE by Photos>Edit with PSE 12, an empty window opens in PSE. There is nothing in the Photo Bin.
What am I doing wrong or is this not possible to do without exporting a TIFF to my desktop, etc.?
FYI, I am checking PSE out with their 30 day demo version, if this makes any difference.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for your suggestions, but, again as with Kirby's comments, my settings are exactly as you have suggested. I did confirm that my files were editable in Aperture.
Just to make sure: When you have a file open in Aperture and you choose "Edit with PSE 12", does that file open in a PSE window? (I get a PSE window but with no content.)
I'm going to see if I can get any info from Adobe.
Keep those suggestions coming, folks!
I just realized I am selecting an alias for PSE and I haven't confirmed that, as you suggest in another posting, that I haven't dived deep enough.
I'll report back momentarily.
LEONIE, YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. ONCE I DUG INTO THE SUPPORT FOLDER, I FOUND THE APP, NOT AN ALIAS, SELECTED IT AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING PERFECTLY!!!!
MANY THANKS!

Print photos edited in PSE 11 editor at Walmart, etc.

Is it the psd extention preventing me from being able to print photos edited in PSE 11 editor at the photo machine at Walmart? Do I have to somehow save the photos as Jpeg and how do I do that? I have already saved them after editing and they are in saved in Organizer. Can you give me simple instructions?

Unless walmart also specifies that it can print tiff files, jpg is the way to go. Just select the files in the organizer, then file>export as new files, and choose the highest quality jpg.

Can pics edited with PSE 8 for Windows be edited with PSE 8 for Mac at a later date?

I am looking at switching from Windows to Mac. I currently use Photoshop Ements 8 for Windows. Will I be able to edit older pictures (jpg) edited with the Windows version if I switch to the Mac version of Photoshop Emements 8?

Hi,
JPEG is a format and a specification. Any image editing software confirms to the specification while editing and writing to the format. So, a jpeg can be further edited by any other program after editing with PSE.
Thanks/Tarun

PSE 9 Fun Edits Pop Art Problem

I'm new to PSE 9 and tried the new Pop Art transformation in the Guided Fun Edits section. There are two styles. The first of the two converts the image to a Bitmap. Next comes the color fill adjustment layer. The last step is Duplicate Image, which is supposed to duplicate the image with four different pop colors. Unfortunately, the four pictures are all cyan. There's no problem with the second version of the Pop Art Fun Edit, which posterizes and adds the neon glow before duplicating with the four pop colors. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the first version is only cyan? How can I correct this?
Thanks!

BINGO! Yes. It works. I guess the easiest thing all around is to start anew with a new account? Sort of like spring cleaning...
Many thanks!

Problem with Quick Edit in PSE 10

LR unable to recognize jpeg edited in PSE 11

I edited a RAW file in LR5, exported it to PSE 11 in .tif and in .psd format for further edits. Had to convert to 8 bit in the export. After final edits, saved as a jpeg in same folder as original. LR5 cannot recognize this file in the folder. Any reason why? LR5 can see other jpegs.

If the JPG has the same name as the RAW file Lightroom will probably not import it if you do not choose to treat the RAW and JPG as separate files in Preferences. You should use different names from the RAW for exported files to prevent this problem.

Issue moving from lightroom to edit in PSE 9

Hi I am getting use to using lightroom 5 and have been using PSE 9. i have tried to using the" edit in" option move my photo to PSE from light room only to find i can't edit the photo at all in PSE 9 I have a circle with a line through it for my pointer - it also won't let me "save" I would have to " save as" and then i still can't edit the photo please help i am very frustrated.

My answer was an attempt to solve his problem as to why he could not edit his files in PSE. Obviously you can open 16 bit files in PSE but the edits available are VERY limited compared to the full functionality in handling 8 bit files.

Cannot use Photoshop CS5 to edit in PSE 5

When I try to"edit in Photoshop" with Photoshop Elements 5, Photoshop CS5 loads, but the photo does NOT, and I get this error:
"an error occurred while attempting to edit the file in the external editor"
Suggestions?

I wish I could solve your problem but I can only broaden it: I'm having a problem with editing as well from PSE7. PSE does properly pass a JPEG over to CS5 but when I save the file as a JPEG in CS5 it asks if it is OK to overwrite rather than just allow the save. If I exit immediately after saving the JPEG it prompts me to save it as a PSD. Whether I save again or not when I return back to PSE the edited JPEG and PSD files are gone and the image is locked in the Organizer. I had to exit the organizer, restart the program and remove the edited version from the Organizer - which complains because the file is missing. Perhaps there's a trick to enabling these programs to integrate cleanly but I haven't figured it out yet.

16 bit editing in PSE 8 as compared to PSE 6 (Mac)

In deciding whether to upgrade to PSE 8 from PSE 6 for Mac, I am wondering if PSE 8 allows more 16 bit file editing capability than in PSE 6, which was very limited? If so, what editing features can now be done on 16 bit files? Thanks.

Actually, I can't remember if PSE 6 allowed you to use the built-in color curves command on a 16 bit image (I don't think so), but PSE 8 does allow that.

Edit in Photoshop Problem

I wanted to post this in case other people were having the same problem.
Was having a problem where I would try to "Edit in Photoshop" a NEF file. Photoshop would launch, but no file would open. It had worked fine in the past. Had not changed anything as far as what versions of Lightroom and Photoshop I was using, so was stumped as to why it stopped working.
I did a pretty extensive search in the forums. Seemed that other people were have similar problems. Did pretty much all the suggestions that people had posted to resolve the problem, but it still did not work for me.
I apply a copyright metadata preset when I import my NEF files. I have two phone numbers in the "Phone Field". Recently I changed phone numbers and went in to the preset to change it to the new phone numbers. I had tried to put the phone numbers on two lines instead of just one. When I did this, it put some characters that must have caused the problem with the "Edit in Photoshop" function.
After I changed the two phone numbers to be on one line, "Edit in Photoshop" works as expected.
Anyway, thought I would pass that on as another reason why "Edit in Photoshop" may not be working as expected.

With a raw file it’s conventional to send a tiff or PSD with Lightroom develop settings into photoshop.
You normally make the round trip from Lightroom.
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export with develop settings
2) Edit in Photoshop; then Ctrl+S to overwrite Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in Photoshop and update Lightroom thumbnail.
There should be no change to your NEF.
