Editing LR image in Photoshop

This is an old problem that I had fixed in LR 4.0, but which returned when I upgraded to 4.1, and unfortunately I forgot the fix.  When I finish LR adjustments and click "Edit in Photoshop," I get no menu giving me options for how I want to export to Photoshop. As a result, the image that opens in Photoshop is the original, not the one with the Lightroom adjustments. A very bright individual told me of an easy fix by changing certain preferences in LR, but (duh) I neglected to save his instructions. Anyone know what to do?

Thanks, Simon:
Your advice, and Jim’s, cleared the matter up.  Yes, it’s a bit annoying to have to delete the Tiff/PSD file that LR creates.  And yes, I undoubtedly could resolve that by upgrading to CS5 or later. However, more & more of my image editing is in LR these days, and CS4 has continued to be more than adequate for what remains.  I know there are some cool features in later versions, but they haven’t been sufficient to prompt me to part with the cash.  Suppose I’ll have to at some point, anyway, or I’ll get too left behind.
I’m impressed, by the way, at the improvements in LR 4 – tonal adjustments, noise reduction, sharpening, etc.  It’s a great product for those of us who don’t have the time to become experts in Photoshop.

  • Lightroom 5.4 jumps to second monitor when attempting to edit an image in Photoshop CS 6.

    Hello,
    I have a brand-new HP z620 with an Nvidia Quadro K 4000 display adapter and apparently a software and/or hardware conflict.
    I am experiencing an issue with Lightroom 5.4 window not working correctly with my second, not primary, monitor. When Lightroom is working on the second monitor and I need to edit an image in Photoshop cs6, I want Lightroom stay where it is and Photoshop to open on my primary monitor. And this has worked well for me on my previous system which was also a Windows 7 64-bit machine with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 570.
    When I click the Lightroom option to "edit in Photoshop CS 6” The Lightroom window will move itself to the primary monitor for no apparent reason. This is the problem I am seeking to remedy.
    No other external editing programs opened through LR behaves this way, such as NIK or OnOne Perfect Photo Suite, and I really need LR to stay on the second monitor on the extended desktop.
    I’ve tried every monitor cabling setup I could think of to try and even unplugging the primary to make windows identify it as the 2 monitor in the screen resolution settings, but that does nothing for me. My new workstation is running the same OS version and a K4000. Monitors are currently connected to the display ports via dp to dvi adapters. I’ve already tried moving the connections around and plugging one into dvi, there doesn’t seem to be a setting I can change within windows or adobe to change this behavior.”
    On a related note, I have similar instability in software made by X-rite that supports the use of a colorimeter allowing me to build profiles for monitors and evaluate colors precisely. During the profiling process I place the colorimeter in the designated place on the secondary monitor and direct the application to begin showing the colorimeter different colors on that monitor. At this point the colors jump to the primary monitor while the rest of the interface along with the colorimeter is a secondary monitor. I have a workaround that I'm using for this particular problem but I am fairly sure that the issue that causes the problem with Lightroom is also the source of my trouble here and I need to eliminate it.
    thanks for your time,

  • I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop.

    I just installed Lightroom 5.3, and I have Photoshop CS5.1 installed. The problem is that I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop. When I click Photo>Edit In, the option for Photoshop is not active (i.e., it's not black), so I can't click on it. Why are the options for Photoshop and all of the other Photoshop related options, such as Merge to Panorama, etc., not active? In Preferences I have the following settings: File Format = TIFF; Color Space = ProPhotoRGB; Bit Depth = 16 bits; Resolution = 240; Compression = None. I am using Windows 7.

    Chris:
    I have to apologize for being misleading on my request for help in
    resolving the problem.
    Actually the version I am using is CS2 not CS3.
    Yesterday I tried numerous times, and ways, to edit an image and each time
    it refused to allow me to save it.
    The software program just shut down. This evening when I decided to give it
    another try it worked perfect.
    Guess the program just took the day off.
    Thank you for offering to help

    Doug

  • After editing an image in Photoshop it appears grayed out inside the media browser

    After editing an image in Photoshop it appears grayed out inside the media browser when I try to import into Facebook (ie.).
    What has to be done in order for me to be able to select my edited images from Photoshop whithin any media browser?

    Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
    Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
    I'll answer just this one little question.  Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
    You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
    The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway.  Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
    You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

    Hi Karen
    You may the sort set to Custom. Click the dropdown menu on the toolbar (to the right of the word sort) and change to capture time.
    If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press the T key. Press T again to hide.

  • Want to edit iPhoto images in Photoshop 5.1

    I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.2.1).
    Updated from Photoshop in CS3 to CS5.1.
    I want iPhoto to open images in Photoshop CS5.1, so I went to iPhoto - Preferences - Advanced - Edit Photos: and it only gives me two choices. One is iPhoto, the other is my old choice, Photoshop CS3.
    No matter what I try, I cannot get it to show me "In Application," so I can manually choose Photoshop CS5.1.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Choose CS3 again and the window to select your preferred version will open

  • Difficult to edit an image in Photoshop CC from Lightroom 5

  • I need help editing an image in Photoshop

    I need to edit this image.
    I need to reposition the fist shape a little further down remaining within the yellow circle.  Then I also need to change all blue parts to black and the yellow outline around the knuckles to white.
    How would I do this in Photoshop?

    Put a circular selection round the fist and press Ctrl+J.
    Hide the resulting new layer and fill the circle with yellow.
    Select the blue area with the magic wand and fill the selection with black.
    Select the yellow round the fist and fill the selection with white.
    Go to the fist layer, press Ctrl+T and move it down as far as you want, (Not much room there.)
    For print, save as a TIFF; for Internet use Save for Web.

  • New lame workaround for editing RAW images in Photoshop

    Instead of re-importing, I open the image in ACR, then jump back to iPhoto and make some inconsequential and quick change (sepia, anyone?), then when saving from Photoshop, I navigate to the same roll in Modified that I came out of in Originals and save as a jpg (over the Enhance/Sepia/Edge Blur/whatever). The edit I made in iPhoto (don't forget to save in iPhoto before saving from Photoshop) tells the library to use the jpg from the Modified folder (instead of just using it temporarily while it parses the RAW file).

    sorry, but I disagree. I don't think it's lame at all. The only thing I would add is that it's important to unselect "Save edited RAW files as 16 bit TIFFs", unless of course you intend to save your Photoshop (or other editor) files as TIFFs.

  • Can't Edit library image in Photoshop  =(

    I just installed Captivate 2
    After recording my first demo, I tried to edit the slide (the
    "background" image in the library using the EDIT IN command. This
    command opens MSPaint (gahh! what a horrible program!). There is no
    way that I can see to tell it to open Photoshop.
    By the way, in the tutorial on editing your show that comes
    with the program, the movie shows Photoshop being opened.
    In this
    Online
    Article
    , there is a "note" that the external program is set during
    installation, but no such set-up was offered me.
    Please help me to make PHOTSHOP my editor. Thanks! =D

    Hi Monooxylon and welcome to our community
    Try right-clicking and selecting "Edit with...". This should
    allow you to browse to where PhotoShop is installed and choose it.
    Once you do this, Captivate should remember the setting and use it
    from there forward.
    Also, keep in mind that the editor can be different for
    different image types. For example, .BMP images may open using
    MSPaint, .GIF open using FireWorks and .JPG open using PhotoShop.
    But you get to choose what opens with what.

  • Edit Library Image  in Photoshop Elements

    It seems to be a hit or miss problem with updating images in
    Captivate Library. I am retrofitting files some one else created. I
    use Edit with... option and open in Photoshop Elements Edit exe.
    The edits in Photoshop goes as planned.
    I use Save from drop-down menu and then keyboard to Enter
    default entries... sometimes the update Captivate screen flies
    across the screen and update occurs in the Library. The majority of
    the time the Photoshop file (saved in Temp) never updates in
    Library. When I export again to Photoshop I can view changes ...
    will not update slide background (with same name).
    How can I streamline the edit images in Library feature?
    Why doesn't Update option permit browsing?
    Thank You!

    Hi Tam D. and welcome to our community
    I would think that PhotoShop may present an issue when
    editing in this fashion. Why? I think this because the native
    format for PhotoShop is .PSD file extension I believe. So I'm
    wondering if it's even feasible to expect PhotoShop to make an edit
    to something in .GIF, .JPG, .PNG or other type and save changes
    directly to this type. I'm thinking you could hit a snag when
    attempting this.
    As for the Update option not allowing browsing, I suspect
    it's because Captivate knows where it pulled an image from. So the
    update function would probably only allow you to change the file
    externally, then inside Captivate, update to ensure the copy stored
    inside the Captivate .CP file matched what was on the hard drive.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Edit Lightroom images in Photoshop - problem

    Hi,
    I have recently started to use lightroom to eidt my images. When i go to edit with an image lightroom adjustments  from lightroom 3 into photoshop cs4 it won't allow me to save it as a jpeg from photoshop. I understand that i can change it from 16bit to 8 bit and it will then save as a jpeg but the when i send the prints to a lab (a few different ones i have tried) the images come back dull and flat. The images look fine on my screen.
    Any ideas??
    Cheers

    Hi Geoff,
    Thanks for your reply. I chnaged the colour spce to sRGB and still it has made no difference - won't let me save as a Jpeg. I might chane it 8bit and get a test print done to see if it makes a difference. Thanks for your help.

  • Edit Multiple Images in photoshop cs5

    I am trying to apply the same affects thru a action to about 50 some odd photos. I don't want to go thru them individually so how do you do them all at once? Can you convert them to smart objects then apply the action? I tried this but once i want to edit them from a smart object they return to what they were before. Any suggestions?

    You could use Automate>Batch or Scripts>Image Processor.

  • Edit an image going from LR 5.3 into Photoshop CC

    Can somebody help me with this problem?
    Since today I'm having an issue when I try to edit a image in Photoshop (as a PSD) that's imported in LR (as a RAW-image).
    So I use LR as my main working app for my images and from time to time I edit the photo from withing LR into Photoshop.
    When I perform this operation all of my images (that I edit in Photoshop) have an overexposed area on the right side (1-2 cm). I never have had this issue before.
    My images and catalog reside on a Lacie 1TB external disk.
    My memory settings of Photoshop are not too heavy. Photoshop may use 70% of the memory. My iMac has 16Gb of RAM.
    Does anyone have a solution for me?
    Thanks.

    Much easier to do a "repair" install, just install again over the top of itself. To do this, in the Creative Cloud desktop app, go to the Apps tab. In the lower half, labeled Find New Apps, there is a filter drop-down to the right. By default it says All Apps or Filters & Versions, click it and choose Previous Version. Find Photoshop on the list and the button will say “Install” but it will also be a drop-down menu. Choose CC 2014 (15.0). This will do a “repair” install over the top of your existing files.

  • Can't edit a photo in Photoshop

    I have no problem in general with editing raw images in Photoshop by using the "Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS3..." command. It's a regular part of my workflow. But one specific image refuses to open. It'll launch Photoshop, but no image is opened.
    Running Mac OS X 10.6 and LR 2.5.
    Anyone else seen this or have any suggestions about what causes this behavior?

    I can actually open the file in ACR without problem. Seems like the problem only occurs when I try to open it from within LR. I guess I'll have to experiement with how any edits in PS will be treated inside lightroom after I save the file. Maybe I have to import the PSD manually into the catalog?
