Editing in PSE6 from lr3.3

Newish laptop HP notebook w i3 Core processor & lots of storage, & Win 7, and brand new LR3.3
Set up CSE6 as external editor in preferences
Select 1 pic in Library, call for editing, my Elements editing screen appears, annoying spinning circle appears and spins forever, but no pic appears in Elements edit space.
By browsing the forums I see tht this has been a problem for years in earlier LRs. Is it still impossible, despite advertised capability??
Have I made some basic mistake?? I am a newbie to LR, but have played w Elements for a few years.
PLease help??

You are running a 64 bit OS with only 4 GB RAM. The main (only in the vast majority of cases) reason to run a 64 bit OS is to address more than 4 GB of RAM. You really should up the memory or consider running Windows 7 32 bit. You are showing only 1.67 GB RAM actually availble, so you must have a big graphics card and lots of other stuff clogging up your RAM. You will need more than this available for applications to run LR and PSE.
The i-3 processor is also not really up to serious image processing, but should just about do the job (you really need either the older Core 2 Quad or the later i7 processors, but the i 3 wouldn't stop you opening both applications just make them run very slowly). You should be able to get LR and PSE to both run even on your machine. My guess is that you have lots of stuff running in the back ground. Check what is starting up with windows and disable anything you really don't need to be running all the time. Also take a look in Task Manager at what processes are running, particularity what happens when you open a file from LR to PSE.
There are lots of things you can do to get Windows running well. The starting point would be to set your performance options. Set them to adjust for best performance. Then set your page file. If this is present managed by windows change that and set the page file preferably to a separate drive, at a figure around 1 1/2 times your RAM, in your case the initial size and the maximum size would both be set at 6000. You can also turn off indexing on all drives as this uses loads of resources. Turn of System Restore. Make sure you have lots of free space on all your hard drives and de fragment them regularly.
Adding physical RAM is always a good idea, max out your machine. Also you may benifit from a Readyboost drive, if you have a flash drive you can use.

Editing in PSE8 from LR3

Hi,
I have LR3 installed on my macbook pro and have recently installed PSE8 to use as an external editor. I am exiting from LR3 to PSE8 fine but when I have done the edit on a photo I am nor sure how to get back to LR3 with the edited photo. At the moment when I exit from PSE8 and return to LR3 I am seeing the unedited version of the photo? Is there a simple step I am missing?
Regards
Pierce

Hi Pierce
I assume PSE8 is recognised as the external editor. Check by clicking Edit>> Preferences and then hitting the External Editing tab.
Select a photo from the Library that you want to edit in PSE8 and pres Ctrl+E
Check edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments and select either Tiff or PSD
Make your changes in PSE8 and press Ctr+S to save and click OK to overwrite the file created by Lightroom.
Click Ctrl+W to close the image in PSE8 and then return to Lightroom.

Cannot edit in CS5 from LR3

When I'm working in LR3 and try to edit in CS5 I get the following error msg. "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document".

As a test, you might Open the file in another app, like the free IrfanView, and just do a Save_As to a separate location, so as to not overwrite the original. Then see if PS will Open that resulting file.
If so, then something is likely munged in the header info for LR3. What it is, I cannot say.
Good luck,

Can I buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and a student discount? If so, which page do I need? Thanks.

I am trying to buy a Lightroom upgrade (from LR3) with a perpetual licence and with a student discount.
If I go the student discount route on the web U get taken to the 'cloud' options which I don't want.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
PS Is the upgrade worth it in any case??

I believe there are NO upgrades for Student and Teacher editions but you can see here: Products
If the price is the same as an ordinary upgrade you are probably better off buying that because it can be upgraded in the future.

HELP- Need to set up Elements 10 as external editor from LR3, but layers aren't available

Help! I am trying to set up Elements10 to open as external editor from LR3 but I must not be doing something right. When I "edit in" and select elements10 from LR3, it brings the photo up. However, none of the layers options are available. They are all grayed out. I need to be able to access layers. Help!!!! Anyone know what's going on?

You probably exported the photo to photoshop elements 10 as a 16 bits/channel file, so go to Image>Mode in photoshop elements 10
and click on 8 bits/channel so you can use layers.

I'm stuck! Going from LR3 to CS5 I don't get Camera Raw dialog box

I'm stuck. When I edit pics from LR3 to CS5 the Camera Raw dialog box does not open. Everything is updated. I can get Camera Raw dialog box to open if I open a photo directly in to CS5. I have looked at my external editing options. All seems fine. Please help. Thanks!

I'm not a LR user, but I believe it serves as your raw converter (similarly to ACR), therefore when you edit directly out of LR into CS5 the image is already rendered ready for CS5 usage. If you start directly in CS5 then ACR is invoked for raw file conversion.

Raw file from LR3 to PS CS5

When I import a raw file in PS, Camera raw offers trough the"workflow option" to increase the size. With my Canon full frame Camera raw extrapolate my 5616 by 3744 file to 6144 by 4096. Can we do The same from Lr3 to PS CS5 ?

Lr's Edit in Photoshop feature does not support resizing of images. If you require up/down sizing an image in this workflow then it must be done in Photoshop.

External Editing - does not add word 'edit' when returned to LR3

I have set up Lightroom3 preferences as shown by Martin Evening. After sending an image from LR3 to Photoshop CS5 to work on, then in SC5 just using the 'save' option, the word 'edit' is not added to the returned image in Lightroom. It would be useful to have this suffix. Advice please

Try this:
Select a photo from the Library that you want to edit in PS and pres Ctrl+E
Check edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments and select either Tiff or PSD
Make your changes in PS and press Ctr+S to save and click OK to overwrite the file created by Lightroom.
Click Ctrl+W to close the image in PS and then return to Lightroom.

LR4: Where is the BW-presets from LR3?

Hi all
I have just updated to the LR4 - and misses the BW-presets from LR3. What happened to them? I think especially of the Creative - Look 1-4. I don't think that the new "Look 1-5" is the same - or is it?
Can I export the old presets into LR4?
Morten

The LR preset to which you are refering makes heavy use of Recovery, Highlight, and Brightness (among other things). Those sliders are not available in PV2012. The new presets in LR4.x use the new sliders and the new Look 5 is close.
You could export the old presets reimport them into LR4 but realize the effect relies on Sliders from PV2010 and you will revert to the Process Version and the old slider set each time you apply them.
You could probably reverse engineer the look by creating a LR3.x edit and importing it into LR4, updating the PV and then tweaking it to match. Then you could save that as a new preset.

Question regarding upgrading from LR3 to LR4

I currently have Lightroom 3 installed on my PC and want to upgrade to Lightroom 4.
I have not had Lightroom 3 all that long and not too many files are there. I have two questions:
1. Is it better to uninstall Lightroom 3 and then install a fresh copy of Lightroom 4 or could I just upgrade the current Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 4.
I know I have heard in the past is is usually better to to a fresh install. As I have only had Lightoom 3 for a few months and few files I wondered if
this was the way to go or would an upgrade be ok.
2. I actually have the full version of Lightroom 4 (as opposed to an upgrade edition). Luckily for me, my father-in-law purchased it but turned out it was
not what he wanted so he gave it to me. Can I use this full version to upgrade (if that is the solution to my first question)? I know I can use it to do a fresh install.
Also, if you can recommend any links to directions or video tutorials on migrating from LR3 to LR4 that would be great as I am very new to Lightroom.
Thanks for the advice.

Yes, it is very easy, as your existing LR3 installation will not interfere with the new LR4 installation.
Just download LR4.3 from Adobe.
Then start it, and go for File-Open catalog, and point to your exsiting LR3-catalog. The program will tell you that it needs to upgrade the catalog, which you confirm. This will create a new version-LR4 of your latest LR3-catalog.
You might not like the name automatically chosen by this upgrade process, so close LR4 and use Windows Explorer to rename it into something meaningful like "LR4 Master Catalaog" or some such. Then double-click on it and work from there.
Your previous images will show an exlamation mark in develop module for LR3's old process version 2010. Do not do anything on a batch basis for it, as this is not needed.
Only for images, for which you do not like your previous LR3-develop results so much, click on the exclamation mark and upgrade it to LR4's process version 2012, and manually tweak from there.

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?
I started creating my site on a PB 15", but when I'm home I like the speed of my iMac and I'd like to continue the editing process on my iMac but I can't find the files that iWeb saves.
I'd ideally like to save my site on my 30gig iPod using it as a hard drive between both. I would love for this to happen but I can't find the files saved by iWeb. Is this even possible?
I've even tried linking my PB to my iMac via firewire as a hard drive. No Luck.
Please Help . . .

PB G4 15" 167GHz 80HD, iMac G5 2Ghz, 160HD Mac OS X (10.4.5)
PB G4 15" 167GHz 80HD, iMac G5 2Ghz, 160HD Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I think iWeb only recognizes the 'domain.sites' file so while you can set up more than one site, they are in the same project.
Of course, the workround is to move the domain.sites file out of the default location, which them makes iWeb create a new one. You can then work on any number of projects, only moving the correct file into the default location for work on each one. Not elegant by any means, but until someone suggests a better way (or Apple produce a more flexible version of the software) it works fine that way.

Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo? Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo? Thanks.

Thank you very much! Does this require software to be purchased? I'm new to Photoshop.

Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
Good luck,
Hunt
