Edit with CS5 HDR

Hi,
I have LR3 and PS CS5, but the option to edit my images from Lightroom to CS5 is grayed out.  How do I tell Lightroom that CS5 is there and to use it?
Thanks!
Ric Faust

Hi Ric,
I'm sure you know that you need to have multiple thumbnails selected in Lightroom for the Edit with CS5 HDR to be available.
But if that isn't the issue, is it solved by choosing CS5 as an editor via (Photo > Edit In > Edit in Other Application).
Thanks,
Meredith

  • Can you help me use PSE9 with CS5 as an external editor?

    Hello,
    I much prefer the Elements Organizer to Bridge, and have a large catalog with tags that I don't want to give up.  95% of the time, I am perfectly happy with the PSE9 editor.  However, for the other 5% of the time, CS5 is the ticket (even if only for the better Camera RAW processing).  However, I can't seem to save the resulting edited photo in a version set with the original, and for that matter, it seems to get lost somewhere in the ether but PSE9 continues to believe that the file is being edited.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Claude

    In the Organizer go to Edit >>Preferences >>Editing
    Under supplementary editing browse to the CS5 editing application and select it, then click OK.
    To edit an image select it in Organizer and click Edit >>With CS5.
    A new image will be launched automatically and when saved in CS5 will be found next to the original in a version set in the Organizer.
     

  • How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

    How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
    I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
    This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
    This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
    1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
    2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
    3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
    4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
    I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
    Thus my question is the same:
    -What software can do that?
    -Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
    -For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

  • Will ACR 6.7 download work with CS5 Student and Teacher Edition?

    I still have the student and teacher's edition of CS5 and LR3.  (Waiting for CS6 to take off the training wheels and get the grown up version.)  I've downloaded the trial of LR4.1 and ACR 6.7 in hopes that I can convert and import RAW files from a 5D Mark III, but so far I've met with nothing but frustration.  I think I'm doing everything else right so I suspect this is the issue, but if not I'll need to continue my troubleshooting to see where else in the process I'm fouling up.  Thanks.

    Yes, there is such a thing.  Apparently it's even priced lower than the "Academic or educational Discount".
    I learned about it a few moths ago and never pursued it further.

  • Stretched photos after editing with photoshop CS5

    When I crop a photo with photoshop CS5 and then go and review it in Iphoto the picture looks like the unedited version in the "events" but when i double click on it it appears streteched. How do I fix this?
    Also, when I edit a photo with CS5 (for ex: cool a picture if it is too warm) then go to look at it in iphoto it looks like the unedited version and once I click on the photo I can see the edited version.

    The following is how Photoshop should be used from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
    For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

  • [JS][CS5] How can use 'edit with' option for link using sripting

    Hi All,
    I Can edit link using Link.editOriginal () if the default application is as i need it will open it from there, when I try to open it with other application instead of default application of link file I can't (usually we "use edit" with option in manually). Is there any option to do it in scripting.
    Any clue will help us to update the large set of links in a single click.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi csm_phil,
    You are exactly catch my point, my requirement is to update math type eps file. If my math type equation default application file is illustrator (say) as below
    it will open in illustrator instead of mathtype if i use editOriginal function...
    Jus i need to open it in mathtype, the link file default application file is whatever it is.

  • Does anyone know why Adobe CC is failing recognise or open files taken on a Nikon D4 that have been previously edited in CS5?

    I'm just migrating some of my image archive across from one hard drive to another.  During the process, I checked the files in Bridge to see that they'd copied correctly.  It was here that I noticed that for some reason, in every folder that I've moved, there are at least a few images that it fails to recognise.  These images are listed as having no camera model and no serial number.  Attempting to open them in Photoshop CC says that it is an unrecognised file.  Bridge struggles for a while, manages to eventually recognise a lot of them but always leaves a few that it cannot work with.
    Having looked at the original drive, the files are fine and open perfectly.  One thing that I've noticed is that some (not all) of the now corrupt files have been previously edited in CS5.  Removing the sidecar xmp file makes no difference.  Purging the cache makes no difference.  Repairing permissions makes no difference.
    I am running OSX Mavericks (10.9.3) and have the latest updated version of CC.
    Please help!
    Leon

    I'm using an Intel iMac, 3.6Ghz Intel core i5 with 12GB of 1333 Mhz DDR3 RAM.
    The iMac has OSX 10.9.3 installed with all of the latest updates.
    I'm using Adobe CC with all of the latest updates installed so Bridge is version 6.0.1.6.
    I have repaired permissions, rebooted the Mac, re-started Bridge and cleared the Bridge cache.
    The raw files are .nef files from a Nikon D4.  They are currently stored on an external Western Digital red hard drive and all of the images are accessible and load correctly.
    In moving the files across to a new Western Digital green drive, Bridge is failing to create some of the thumbnails.  After waiting for all of the thumbnails to be created, the remaining files are simply displayed with a nef files icon.  Any attempt to open them fails, with Adobe Photoshop CC displaying a message stating that the file is not in a format that Photoshop can understand.
    On investigating further, I have found that the images that are causing issues are ones that have been edited before and have sidecar .xmp files.  These .xmp files were created during editing when using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.
    I hope that's everything that you requested.

  • Do I really need to overclock a i7 2600(k) for HD editing in CS5?

    Dear All
    After reading a lot in this forum (thanks to everyone!), I pretty much decided to buy the i7 2600k or i7 2600 (I know the difference) for the system I´m putting together.
    I´ll have a student´s edition of CS5 and will be using Premiere and AE and have one huge doubt left:
    Do I really, really need "Overclocking" for HD video editing?
    A few background infos so you know who "I" refers to:
    I´ll be doing small projects for my own private amusement, most of them likely to be less then 20 minutes long, but effects/filters/layers will definitely be involved.
    I´ll buy a Nvidia 550 for cuda, the three "obligatory" harddrives, 16 GB of RAM...
    Think of fiction short movies, music videos etc. and you get the idea.
    I am not a hardware enthousiast or a very impatient person - if a final rendering/conversion into another format takes 8 minutes instead of 6, for instance, I do not care.
    What I DO care about is smooth editing and previews when working with HD formats (yes, also the "difficult" ones). I don´t want to be on the top of any benchmarks, but
    the performance with HD still should be "good"...
    I have no previous experience with OC, but I understand it´s quite easy with this last generation of processor and motherboards.
    Yes, I am tempted to get more "Bang for the buck", but I am also reluctand to spend more money and time if I don´t really need it, or if the difference will be so minimal I won´t notice it.
    As I understand it, for OC I´ll need to get a better case with fans, a better cooler, better power supply, better who-knows-what... all decisions I need to take now...
    I also wonder:
    - Is it still true that my processor/system will have a shorter life spam with OC?
    - In case I don´t overclock, can I go with the factory cooler of the i7 2600 or is it still wise to get a better one?
    - Any suggestion which Z68 motherboard to buy with and without OC? (should be around 100-150 Euros)
    Please allow me this additional question in order not to open another threat just for it:
    - I want to get  Kingston DDR3 4GB/1333 RAM simply because it´s cheap - is that okay with the i7-2600 or should I go for 1600 instead?
    Thank you so much in advance for any kind of suggestion, I hope your answers will be useful for more users out there.
    Andy

    Thank you, Harm. Does everyone agree? I´d be happy to save the money for all those fans...
    The time issue is really relative. My last editing adventures laying about a decade back when one could go for a coffee when applying a filter to a couple of minutes in PAL
    and even a brightness filter applied to a short shot would have me staring for endless seconds at the screen. I hope these days are gone, EVEN with HD?
    I´m just trying to imagine how and when OC would affect things while using cs5, or if it would affect the "smootheness" of the editing process at all.
    As said, a conversion into another format or a final rendering that takes many minutes anyways is not a problem for me.
    But say I want to apply a filter to a couple of seconds, or render an AE effect, would I have to "wait" at all for previews with the modern i7 system I want to build?

  • Strange window behavior with CS5

    I have begun experiencing strange behavior with PS CS5. I should begun with the machine configuration: 2.66GHz iMac (8,1) Intel Core Duo with 4GB RAM and OSX 10.6.6, Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card. The initial symptom showed up suddenly as an inability to display an image window; that is, I could open PS normally, everything would show up properly, but when I opened an image file of any sort, there would be no image window. Other cues indicated that the file was open; for example, the window menu would show it selected, and the layers palette would show the file's layers.
    It did not seem to matter what type of file was involved: PSD, JPG, TIF, whatever. Occasionally, this behavior would begin during a session. Sometimes it would happen right off the bat. Sometimes, stopping and restarting PS seemed to clean things up; other times, this had no effect. After messing around quite a bit with different permutations and combinations, all I could say was that the problem was random.
    I might add that I've had PS CS5 on this machine pretty much since it was announced, and had not had problems with it before. So this issue came along quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago. This was a little after I'd installed an update for Nik's Viveza 2; and I began to suspect that. Although why Viveza should do such a strange thing was odd, and Viveza was never part of the files I was experiencing issues with. Anyway, I went back to an earlier version of Viveza and the problem persisted.
    Since I run Time Machine, I also went back to versions of the entire PS folder from a month back, and found the same problem. Along the way, I experimented with the files I was using with PS CS4 & CS3, which I also have installed on this machine. These two versions of PS run perfectly well. At least the CS4 version has precisely the same plugins as the CS5 folder, and this seems to discount the potential problem with plugins.
    To be sure about CS5, I completely deactivated, deinstalled, and reinstalled it. The same issues occurred. Now, I have to admit that I let PS run its update process so that I brought it back to the most recent version in this step of my troubleshooting. So, I can't be certain that the issue isn't with some update of CS5.
    I might add that I have been running CS5 in 32-bit mode, for compatibility with certain plugins. This may or may not be an issue, since I have limited experience with running in 64-bit mode. At this point, I should add a bit more about the confusing behavior.
    While messing around with CS5, I also suspected the GPU support, since my problem had to do with windows. When the problem presents itself, the usual cycle through window views that you get by pressing the "F" key seems to get messed up. In particular, the "F" key doesn't work at all. Next, if you use the View menu to select different views, the full screen with menu bar view will often have garbled pixels, while the full screen view will show a blank grey screen. Then, cycling back to a window view will show a window with blank grey contents. This is interesting since the starting point was no window at all; but going into full screen and then back will produce a window with bogus contents.
    Now, the next strange thing, having to do with the GPU, is that CS5 often fails to recognize the Radeon HD 2600 card. Oddly enough, it did originally. And I had it running in Basic mode. However, CS4 does recognize the GPU; and I can set it in any variety of modes: Basic, Normal, and Advanced. This behavior is not consistent at all either; that is, while CS5 almost always now fails to detect the GPU, sometimes it does. As near as I can tell, this failure to detect the card does not depend upon whether I start CS5 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. OTOH, CS4 always recognizes the GPU.
    Another form of this odd behavior arises if I start CS5 cold, and then just open a new blank window. This almost always works. I get a blank white window, and I can paint on it with a brush, etc. However, if I go ahead at this point and open a file, then the new file takes over the window; and there are no tabs. If I select the original new file, usually labelled "Untitled", the window bar will show the change of filename but the window's contents and the layers palette will continue to show the old file that I had opened. Cycling through views can sometimes get back to the new Untitled file, but just selecting file windows never works.
    Yet another aspect of this messed up window behavior is that the workspace bar, which shows the Bridge, MiniBridge and view icons on the upper left and the various workspace options and CS Live on the upper right, is present but blank. OTOH, the tool bar is always displayed correctly, as is the horizontal bar that shows the various tool options. Likewise, the palettes for the workspace such as layers, swatches, adjustments, and so on, are always correctly displayed on the left.
    My next steps in trying to figure this out will be to ensure that I am running the latest of all plugins so that I can get everything running in 64-bit mode and try this again. However, the single factor that seems consistent in this whole mess is that whenever I do find this odd behavior, the performance preferences window will indicate that CS5 is not detecting the GPU. Whenever this happens, if I open up CS4 and check the same performance preference in it, the GPU is detected. I can have the two preference windows side by side on the screen in fact, CS4 sees the GPU and CS5 does not. The counter-indication is that sometimes CS5 will work properly and the preferences window still shows that the GPU has not been detected. Having said that, I can add that if I have opened up CS5, and it has found the GPU, and I have set it into, say, Basic mode, and then later found CS5 messing up, and I go back and check the performance preferences again, the GPU has always been lost. So, CS5 can mess up windows with or without the GPU detected and active; but when if it started with the GPU present, it will show up as lost after the weird behavior starts.
    To add one more observation, I have had Macs and other computers with failing GPUs. This computer is showing none of the typical signs of that. Every other program seems to be working just fine, and I have a lot of these, many graphics intensive; e.g., Corel Painter 11, Parallels v6 running Windows 7, PS CS4, Lightroom v3, Aperture v3, and so on. It is just CS5 that is messing up.
    I could load up this message with screen shots of all this nonsense, but I'm not sure what that would add to the strange tale, other than I'm not pulling your legs. I am, however, pulling out my own hair.
    As I stated before, this began quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago, early Feb 2011. My best guess as to cause is some combination of incompatible updates between CS5, OSX, and maybe some plugin or other. I found unusual behavior with onOne's FocalPoint v2 last year after Apple updated GPU drivers in some OSX update, and cratered that program. It took onOne a month or two to fix that. I have CS5 on a laptop with the same OSX version, and on that I haven't seen these issues; but then, I haven't been using it as intensely over there. Also, that machine has different CPU and GPU models than this iMac.
    So, to the community: is anybody else starting to see this odd stuff? Am I alone?

    Here's the reason I say that the same plugins exist for both CS4 & CS5. Sometime last year, the internal hard drive on this computer died (as they so often do), and it was replaced under the Apple care warranty. As a consequence, I decided to rebuild the OS and applications from scratch and bring back my user files from backup. I among other things, I reinstalled all of CS4 as well as CS5 (and I had to put CS3 back too for reasons having to do with printing calibration images for Quad Tone RIP). Then, I went to reinstall the plugins that I needed. I use Nik Software, onOne, Portrait Professional and various Topaz plugins. To my recollection, most of these install in PS CS3, CS4, CS5, Aperture, and Lightroom. In short, it is not that I've copied or moved plugin folders from one application folder to another, just that the installers automatically detect the presence of the various applications and put the various plugins into each, as appropriate.
    The only 32-bit plugins that I have that don't fit into this category are from Vincent Versace. He provides special versions of certain Nik plugins (Tonal Contrast, Contrast Only, etc) that function with some Acme Educational extensions for performing B&W conversion, sharpening, blah blah blah. These plugins are only 32-bit and the extensions are only CS5 compatible. I've installed these ones only into CS5; so, you've got me. OTOH, I've had these from Vincent as soon as CS5 was available; and they've worked so far without problems. Perhaps I should just edit the extensions so I could use the latest plugins direct from Nik instead of the Versace special editions...
    I've checked fonts and repaired permissions. I am presently going through the rather tedious process of disabling plugins and extensions to see if anything yields consistent results. The rather random arrival of the strangeness makes ensuring that a change is really having an effect more difficult to validate, as you will appreciate.
    I apologize for my long-winded original post. I add all of the detail so that anyone who'd experienced similar strange behaviors might properly pattern-match what they were seeing. On the one hand, in finding the cause of a problem, you look for what's changed; and theoretically nothing is new. On the other hand, there's always so much changing behind the scenes with automatic updates of this, that, and the other thing that it's impossible to make the claim that nothing's new. 

  • Aperture - Edit with External Editor - Photoshop

    Hi,
    I recently made my first attempt via Aperture to "Edit with External Editor" and in my case I have the preferences set to export to Photoshop CS4 Extended. The External Editor File Format (in preferences) selected is TIFF and as advised by Apple's Help menu this is set at 16-bit. The External Editor Color Spaces is set to Adobe-RGB (1998).
    I selected an image with some barrel distortion, hit the export button, and Aperture sent the new master to Photoshop. I did my fixing and saved. This automatically sends the updated file to Aperture. This is very handy and practical but I was shocked to see the size of the new and fixed file. The original file was a JPEG at 4MB and the new fixed file was a colossal 200+ MB file. I ended up throwing away the new file - too large.
    I am just wondering if this is normal? This is my first time using the Edit with External Editor in Aperture and I am also quite clueless about using Photoshop efficiently and properly. Could I have done something differently and received the new and fixed file at a smaller size?
    Thanks for your advice and help.

    This is normal.
    TIFF files get rather large and the 200 MB sounds about right. If I send a 1.63 MB JPEG at the same settings in PS CS5, I get a 134 MB TIFF after applying the Lens Correction filter and saving.
    If I send the same file as a TIFF 8-bit in Adobe-RGB (1998), I get back a 54.73 MB file.
    You could therefore send as an 8-bit TIFF to reduce the size. Additionally, the PSD format tends to return a slightly smaller file size (51.xx MB in the case here).
    A JPEG file is actually only an 8-bit file, so it isn't really necessary to go to 16-bit, but many users like to protect against further degradation of the JPEG when editing externally (especially from posterization where smooth gradients - such as a sky - start to break down into visible steps in the color transition).
    I personally send as TIFF 8-bit in the sRGB color space and if the image shows degradation, then I might change to the TIFF 16-bit (or simply not use that image).

    Please do not post questions more than once. It makes it difficult for you as well as those who will try to answer. I don't have an answer for you. However:
    What operating system?
    What version of Lightroom?
    How much RAM?
    Did you install anything new?
    What version of Camera Raw are using in Photoshop CS5?
    If you can provide more details, it might make it easier for someone to provide you with an answer.

  • File saved as .5 file type with CS5, How to Open in CS5

    I've been working on a certificate and i saved it without looking at the file type. For some reason it set the file type to (.5). What is that? Is there any way I can open it again in CS5? Is there a file converter I could use. I just need to basically open the file agian in CS5 so I can continue to edit the certificate. I have tried opening the file with CS5 and CS6 and I get this message:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
    Thanks!

    That's the problem I saved it in Photoshop CS5 and It wont let me open it in that. The message:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
    Pops up when i try to open it with Photoshop.

  • InDesign "edit with" iPhoto now jumps to Preview

    I placed about 200 photos from iPhoto into InDesign (CS5.5). To modify an image, I clicked on the Edit icon under Links and it opened the image in iPhoto as I wanted. Now all of a sudden the "edit with" pencil icon link goes to Preview. iPhoto isn't even an option on the Links palette menu in InDesign. Under Other (edit with) I can choose the iPhoto aplication for one photo but not for all, but then it imports the image into iPhoto rather than locating the file in iPhoto. This started happening after I changed some titles in iPhoto. I tried relinking some of the images but InDesign still jumps to Preview when clicking on the pencil icon in the Links palette. If I find the image myself in iPhoto and edit it there, I do get the yellow sign in InDesign and can update the link. Thanks for any light you can shed. It would save me a lot of time.

    Good point. Indeed, I was only changing titles, not file names. InDesign's Place command creates a link to the image, it does not import the it. So I was using the wrong term there too. That takes us back to the original question, and I will ask it on an Adobe forum. But if anyone here knows anything else, please speak up. Thanks.

  • How do images edited in CS5 not return to LR3?

    I have just upgrade to CS5 and then downloaded LR3 trial version as I am waiting for the software to arrive.
    I was editing a shot in LR3, then decided to edit in CS5 for content aware fill to remove some wires that I could not work around.  After completing the edit in CS5, it asked me to save the images and I said yes.  After that, it did not return the file to LR3.  After doing several other edits, I finally did a search on my system to find the images that I edited in CS5.
    To my surprise, they were in different directories on my system!
    Is there something that we now have to specify to get them to return to LR?  I would like to keep the images all in one collection since this is what I have done in the past.
    It also did not ask me when going to CS5 if I wanted to use the edited version like it did in V1 & 2.  Has anyone else had this happen?
    Thanks,
    David

    Did you have any filters set in LR to exclude any other images? ... there seems to be a bug in PS returning images with ratings, color labels and filters  ... or any of the above. Try removing the filters to see if your edited image is there.
    The team is looking into the issue.
