Editing problem from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

Lightroom 4 no longer automatically imports Photoshop edits, even though my preferences haven't changed. I have to re-import the edited photo to LR. Any fixes?

There are two ways that LR can pass images to PS:
already saved, in which case the document already has its final title when you work on it in PS, and changes need to be Saved back to the same pre-existing file (in order to be seen by LR as an update to something which it has already imported). In this case, Save As to some different filename will be invisible to LR; however, LR should still show the un-edited image TIFF (or PSD) which has been generated for PS to open.
not yet saved, in which case the document which is open in PS does not yet have its final title; so Save cannot work; so PS automatically brings up Save As instead (although a default filename and location are suggested for you). PS should normally inform LR of whatever filenams and folder is then selected, so that LR can silently import that. Or if the image is not saved at all, LR will not have anything to show for this..
Which method is used, depends on the circumstance. Normally the latter method applies when LR and Photoshop are of contemporary versions, which "talk" to each other in a scripted manner. However it seems that in this case the script is not succeeding for some reason.
A couple of troubleshooting tests to try: saving the image to the default offered filename without any change; making an external editing preset in LR's preferences, and using that (which passes images to PS via the "already-saved" method instead).

Problems opening multiple images as layers from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

I'm having trouble bringing multiple photos from Lightroom 4 into Photoshop CS6 as layers. In LR4, I select the multiple photos I want to bring in, right click and from the pop-up menu select "Edit In", then "Open as Layers In Photoshop...". Photoshop CS6 then opens but the photos do not load in. I then get an error in LR4 about a minute later that says "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." However Photoshop just opened before I got the error. How do I fix this?

Maybe a keyboard issue - shortcut key toggling multiple times. But, if you're sure your keyboard is fine, then try this:
Reset LR preferences:Windows 7/ Vista: The preference setting file is Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs, in C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\. Rename/ move this file to a different location. LR will recreate preferences during next launch. See if this fixes the issue. The reason we're renaming or moving it is so that if it doesn't fix the error, you can move it back there so you don't have to recreate your in-application preferences again

Help needed exporting from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

I'm running LR 4.4 and Photoshop CS6 on an iMAC and I'm having issues with the edit in photoshop option. Used to be able to right click and image, go to Edit In and choose Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop would open and the image would open. I could then make my changes and save them and those changes would copy back over to Lightroom. Now when I choose Edit In>Photoshop, Photoshop opens but the image never opens. It would prompt saying Open Anyway or Render using Lightroom. If I clicked Open Anyway, the image would NOT open in Photoshop. If I clicked Render using Lightroom, the image WOULD open in Photoshop. Well now I've upgraded my software and it's no longer prompting me to Render using Lightroom. Can someone help either fix the root probelm or tell me how to get my raw files to Render using Lightroom?

Same problem here on the PC side.

May i send photo from lightroom v4 to photoshop cs6 and open in camera raw?

Hi
i have lightroom v4 last version 64 and photoshop cs6 64 last updates
i would like to send raw file from lightroom to photoshop without converting in psd or tiff but i would like to send from lightoom to photoshop the raw file
in short open the image in camera raw from lightroom
can i do it?
thanks

Lightroom is Camera Raw. They're exactly the same code, provided versions are in step. Lr 4.4 = ACR 7.4.
"Edit In Photoshop" (Ctrl E) opens the image in Photoshop, just as "Open" does in ACR. And even though you open it from Lightroom, it's actually ACR that silently renders it into Photoshop. Lightroom just passes on its settings.
"Open As Smart Object" embeds the raw file into the PSD, so that you can reopen it in ACR, from Photoshop. Same function as you have in ACR to begin with.
If Lightroom and ACR versions are not in step, things get more complicated and some options are missing.

Colour shift when exporting from lightroom 5 into Photoshop CS6

Hi there,
Having a really weird problem in Lightroom/Photoshop that no amount of Googling can seem to fix.
When I grade an image for colour in lightroom, and then use the "edit in" function to send the file to Photoshop, the file is a completely different colour.
Here's an example:
I'm using SRGB for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and the "preserve embedded profiles" is selected for RGB, CMYK, and gray.
If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. I don't want to have to use ProPhotoRGB, because most of my work is delivered online.
Thanks in advance
John

I am also having this issue with the "Merge to HDR Pro" function in both LR5.2 and PSCC. When the image is viewed at 50% image size in the HDR app everything appears fine. However, once you start to zoom in the image begins to crop out segements starting on the right hand side. See the screen shots below:
Image at 50%
Image at 66%
Image at 100%

Problem exporting from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

When using the ctr E keyboard shortcut to edit in PS6 frpm LR4, multiple raw files are generated in PS CS6 and only stop creating when PS is forced closed. Using the Drop Down menu in LR makes the transfer to PS6 no problem. Am I doing something wrong?

Maybe a keyboard issue - shortcut key toggling multiple times. But, if you're sure your keyboard is fine, then try this:

How do I take an edited photo from lightroom 5 to elements 12?

How do I take an edited photo from lightroom 5 to elements 12?

Marsha, you seem to be a bit confused or perhaps uninformed about how Lightroom works. Lightroom should be at the beginning of your workflow. Whether you are working on raw images or JPEG, or whatever, Lightroom is where you should begin. None of the adjustments that you make using Lightroom are applied to the image. They are saved in the catalog progressively as you work on the image. Photoshop Elements sits in a secondary position in the typical workflow. In Lightroom, there is an option to "Edit in", and Photoshop Elements or Photoshop or whatever editor you have chosen will be one of the choices. You go to Elements to do things that cannot be done or can be done more efficiently in the other program. When you have finished making the adjustments in Elements a new copy of the image containing both the Lightroom adjustments and the Elements adjustments will be created, and will be added to the Lightroom catalog.
If you want an edited copy of your image in Elements than you would want to use the export function in Lightroom to export a copy that would include all adjustments that have been made. A typical workflow would be to maintain your master set of images, including copies created by Elements because of additional editing in that program, and then export JPEG copies suitable for posting on the web, for e-mail, or for sending to a lab to be printed. After those copies that were exported have been used for their intended purpose, they can be deleted, and you only have your master images to maintain in case there are other adjustments or new approaches in the future.

Problem reading dng files into Photoshop CS6

Why can't I read dng files from a canon 5dmk2 from ACR8.1 into Photoshop cs6?

I converted the CR2 files from the Canon5dmk2 into dng using the Adobe DNG converter.
In Photoshop CS3 I can read these dng files into Adobe Camera Raw and then export them into Photoshop. No problem.
I have just installed Photoshop CS6. I can read the dng files into Adobe Camera Raw (v8.1) without a problem. However the file is then corrupted when I try to export it into CS6.
Strangely, I have similar files converted from CR2 to DNG for a Canon 1100D and these read without problem via ACR into both Photoshop CS3 and CS6.
The problem is that Photoshop CS6 will not read dng files from a Canon 5dmk2.

Is Lightroom Part of Photoshop CS6

Are all the features in Lightroom included in Photoshop CS6 Extended, or would Lr add to CS6?

Lightroom is a standalone application.
The Adobe Camera Raw plugin included in Photoshop CS6, is pretty much
similar to Lightroom's Develop module. Apart from that, you won't find
features such as Library, Maps or Book modules in Photoshop.

Re-installing Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6

I intend to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit, which apparently means a clean install. Can I back up both Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 for re-installation or will I have to make a fresh install from the discs. Furthermore CS6 was an upgrade to CS4 so will I also have to reinstall CS4. Will I need to deactivate or can I save the activation details?

Lightroom: No activation required so you can just reinstall. Download the latest 4.x release and install it rather than from your disk and upgrading - it is just cleaner.
PS, you need to deactivate on the existing machine. Install CS6 upgrade first and when prompted provide your CS4 information. Then activate on the new machine.

I¹ve created a graphic in Fireworks CS3 on the Mac and

Then I highlight the table and click the Edit in

throws up a warning dialogue saying Cannot launch and
edit. The Fireworks
table could not be found in the HTML. Please export from
Fireworks and
re-import the HTML into Dreamweaver.¹
What?!!
I¹ve only just exported it from Fireworks! It¹s
even got the Fireworks table
code in the Code section, so what¹s going here?
Has anyone else had this?

When you export the sliced graphics from Fireworks it places
them into a
table. In my instance the code says...

So it recognises Fireworks was the the graphics app and jumps
back to it
when you want to edit the image. Fireworks then displays (or
should) a
Done¹ button over the window. You do your alts and
press Done to update the
HTML and graphics back in Dreamweaver automatically.
That¹s the only table I was referring to Murray.

You need to export JPG copies of your adjusted photos to upload to FB.
