Edits done in ACR don't show in LR 2

I like to use both LR2 and Bridge 2 (PS CS3/Bridge) and all edit that I make in straight ACR 4.5 do not show in LR2 but the ones I make in LR2 do show in Bridge and when I open that image in ACR.
What setting do I need to change in either ACR or LR2 to make the edits done in ACR show up in LR2.

In ACR you have an option to save the adjustments to sidecar files (default) or a centralized database. At least it used to be so. Make sure the adjustments are saved to sidecar files.
Also, in LR you have to read metadata from files - the adjustments won't load automatically from those .xmp sidecar files.

  • Edits don't show if the photo is exported as DNG

    When I make edits (such as spot healing or cloning) in Lightroom and export the photo to another directory as DNG, those edits don't show - the image opens in Camera RAW and the removed blemishes are still there. On the other hand, if I export as JPEG, all of those edits are included. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is supposed to be?

    I may be incorrect on this but, as I understand it (and I am depending on other more knowledgeable people to correct me if I am wrong), when you export a JPEG image, LR will back your changes, stored in the catalog, into the exported image. However, when you export a RAW image, even as a DNG, LR will export the changes, also stored in the catalog, in a sidecar (.XMP) file. LR will never update the RAW file as these are proprietary files structure and not documented as to their internal structure. When you export a RAW file, check the directory to see if there is a .xmp file with the same name as the .dng file. This is where your edits will be. Keep in mid that not all external editors will recognize the sidecar files. Photoshop and Elements do however.
    There is an option to 'write metadata to files' on the Metadata menu. If you click this, LR will write the changes stored in the catalog into your image file for JPEG, TIFF and DNG files. For a RAW image however, these updates are only written to a sidecar file. I import my RAW images as DNG files and when i am done with edits and/or metadata changes, I will use the write-to-file option to update the images with the changes. This way, I am sure that no matter where I copy these images files, my edits and metadata also go along for the ride. This is what works for me but may not be another's cup of tea.

  • Aperture 3.1 edits don't show up in iMovie '11

    I am new to Aperture. I am creating a movie with still shots in iMovie. In the photo browser I can select a photo and then click "Open in Aperture". I've done this and edited my photo. But the edits do not show up in iMovie -- even after closing and reopening both programs. Why is iMovie still using the older version of the photo? The weird thing is that some of my edited photos now show the edited version in the iMovie thumbnail browser, but when I drag the photo into the project it still shows the old version. HELP! Project due SOON!

    I am having this problem as well. Granted, I am a new user for both Aperture (3.1) and iMovie (11).
    I have regenerated all the previews in the Aperture album I am using for my iMovie slideshow, I have quit Aperture and iMovie, and relaunched iMovie, and still find that photos I drag in from the Media Browser don't show my most recent edits. I have also found that the recently edited previews come in "soft" even though my Aperture prefs are set to "Don't Limit" for Photo Preview, and "12" for Photo Preview Quality (and I regenerated the previews after I edited my preferences).
    What is missing from my workflow? I have Aperture set to "Always" share previews with iLife and iWork.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

  • Photoshop Edits don't Show

    When I export into an external editor (PSE 9), make a few edits and save back to Aperture 3 I see the version, but it is unchanged except that because of my export pre-set it is now a tiff file.
    I export with the preset of tiff (8bit) 300dpi.
    Why, and how do I get it so that when an edit is saved it acutally shows the edits?

    Leonie, that is what I do, while in PSE I simpy hit "save", it takes me to the aperture library and hence it is saved there.
    The problem remains. Here is a photo I turned to B&W
    This is how it appears in A3. I also changed the title because they both had the same title by adding "edit" but that isn't visible in A3 either. Also, it appear that if I trash the edit it still remains in the library and in the library it shows the edit.
    Also, when I clicked save, it was to be a jpg but it is in A3 as how I told A3 to export it, as a psd.

  • Adobe Digital Editions don´t shows me my bibliothek

    Hello. Since ADE crashed while downloading a ebook, it only shows me a white screen. I can´t see my bibliothek with my ebooks. If I want to add one of my ebooks again, ADE reports, the ebook is already in the bibliothek. But the bibliothek will not be displayed. I have installed ADE again, but this didn´t help. I would appreciate, if somebody could give some advice. Thanks.

    When I edit a photo in iphoto and then try to email it, sometimes the edit does not take.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Why my edits don't transfer between lr4 and cs4

    I edit my images for the most part in LR4 then export as a raw file into a new folder. Then when I view the images in bridge my edits don't show up. Do I have to convert to JPEG for my edits to stick?
    Thank you!!!

    Victoria Bampton wrote:
    The short answer is yes.  CS4 won't understand the edits you've done in LR4, because it's so much older.  You'd need CS6 for PS to understand them.
    The original question asked about JPGs. The user could convert the photos to TIF, avoiding the drawbacks of JPGs, which would then work in CS4.

  • Logo Component - Design mode shows the edit component toolbar don't show "Edit" button

    I just created a Logo component on my website following the CQ "How to create a Fully Featured Internet Website" guide.
    I do create the logo component, edited the jsp page with the following code
    <%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp"%>
    <%@ page import="com.day.text.Text,
                     com.day.cq.wcm.foundation.Image,
                     com.day.cq.commons.Doctype" %>
    <%  String home = Text.getAbsoluteParent(currentPage.getPath(), 2);
        Resource res = currentStyle.getDefiningResource("fileReference");
        if (res == null) {
            res = currentStyle.getDefiningResource("file");
        log.error("path is:" + currentStyle.getPath());
    %>
        <a href="<%= home %>.html"> <%
        if (res == null) {
            %> Home Page <%
        }else {
            Image img = new Image(res);
            img.setItemName(Image.NN_FILE, "file");
            img.setItemName(Image.PN_REFERENCE, "fileReference");
            img.setSelector("img");
            img.setDoctype(Doctype.fromRequest(request));
            img.setAlt("Home Page");
            img.draw(out);
        %>
        </a>
    Then, I created the tag "<cg:include>" in my jsp page, calling this jsp.
    After all that, I created the Design Dialog for my logo component, then a "items" node under the tab1 node of the design dialog.
    After this, finnaly, the widget node (absParent), under the items created before.
    A lot of propertys later, I got my Logo object in the page, but the toolbar with the "Edit" button on Design mode don't show me the "Edit button" 
    Someone can tell me how to get the button there?
    Is some property that I may have forgotten?
    Thanks.

    Basically, the edit toolbar has the same with as your component, which indeed is problematic for narrow components.
    But you can work-around that with a basic CSS hack:
    .cq-editbar {
        min-width: 200px !important;
        _width: 200px !important; /* IE6 */
    This seems to be fixed in CQ 5.5.

    In QT, if you open the Inspector, what is the format? Post a screen shot of the info.
    Did you try one of the Video Share presets?
    If you've got high quality material to work with, uploading to YT or another video service should produce good results. They will re-encode whatever you give them.  So as s long as you give them a sufficiently high quality file to start – and assuming it's h.264 – you should be good.

  • Some photos don't show in LIbrary view--just the outlines of them

    Tonight I tried to transfer a bunch of digital photos from a CD my daughter burned into my iPhoto library, into the 2006 year folder.
    I opened the CD and in the icon view, the pictures looked fine--jpeg files.
    After I transferred them, these pictures don't show in my initial iPhoto window (the one that opens first when you click on iPhoto in the Dock, and shows all the pictures in my Library sorted by (in my case) roll/date.
    Then photo thumbnails from years prior to 2005 show up, fine, but for the most recent year of pictures, all I get are the outlines of where the thumbnails ought to show. When I click on one of the blank thumbnails, of course I get a blank ...but the frame in the lower left shows the ID info for the picture and the picture counts, etc.
    I can open the folders from the Pictures file and see them...they just won't show up in the overall Library window.
    So...I moved the transferred ones out of the iPhoto library and just put them in the Pictures folder for now.
    But what did I do? And how do I "fix it" to make all the thumbnails show up again? This is probably some simple thing...but I can't figure it out. I tried showing just the last 12 months...and I get all the blank outlines.

    Hi john,
    First problem. You need to import photos into the iPhoto Library the correct way which is while iPhoto is open. Drag the photos out of where you put them (you already did) now you can import them into iPhoto from there.
    Read on for more info....--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
    If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
    --All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
    --You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
    -- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
    You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
    Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
    -- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
    There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
    You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
    cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
    Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
    in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
    (a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
    3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
    You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
    photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
    pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
    Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
    to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
    have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
    Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
    picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
    I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
    Now to get to your next problem...do a "get info" on your iPhoto Library folder.
    Get info on the iPhoto Library folder

  • Keywords imported but don't show up with photos

    I am not getting keywords to show up with imported photos. i've done a lot of searching on this and other forums to try to figure out what is different about my situation but to no avail. here's what I've deduced though:
    the keywords will import if I deselect “Copy the items to the iPhoto Library”. But if I leave the default box checked", I will not get keywords associated with the photos.
    (the rest of my discussion deals with a library where the imported photos ARE copied to the library)
    Interestingly, the keywords ARE imported into iPhoto (if one looks at the keyword list); they just aren't attached to the photos (i.e. clicking <Get Info> shows no keywords, as opposed to them being there but just not showing up on the screen with the image). Most (but not all) of my imported photos show up in iPhoto without any keywords attached. Most Events are all-or-nothing; i.e. all the photos of the event either have keywords or don’t. At least one Event is a mix. I cannot make any sense as to why some do, as the ones that do will be part of an event that all the other photo's don't show the keywords; additionally, neither the ones with nor the ones without keywords share any common feature or change (e.g. edited, rotated, file type, keyword/tag name, etc.).
    I'm a pretty basic user when it comes to photos (but with a fair amount of common sense and computer knowledge); not trying to do anything fancy here. I don't know much about photography, so I'm not manipulating photo settings on my camera and am not (purposefully/knowingly) manipulating the metadata directly from the file. So, I'm baffled as to why my system would be acting differently than any other "out of the box" iMac.
    In case it matters:
    -- the photos being imported originated from a Windows-based PC and tagged by Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have the same problem regardless of whether I export them (using Photoshop) to a file on the iMac or directly import them over the network from the PC using iPhoto.
    -- (Using iPhoto Library Manager) I created another iPhoto library to see if the same thing would happen with photos imported to a different library -- same problem. (BTW, I checked the new library's Keywords BEFORE I imported to make sure the keyword "library" wasn't somehow replicated from the previous library.)
    -- In one of your forum discussions, you said that these “copies” would be in the “Originals” folder within the iPhoto package, right? If so, then they are the same size as the files being imported minus a few KBs, presumably due to the lack of associated keywords.
    I assume that these "copied" files are suppose to retain their keyword/tag info. Any ideas why they aren't and/or what I can do about it? I tried rebuilding the database too but that didn't do any good. I'm figuring on trying to reimport everything again, but I fear I'll get the same result.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try the simple fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and see if the keywords show up. If not, then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Changes to PSDs in LR4 don't show up in bridge or photoshop.

    I just downloaded ACR 6.7, now tiff adjustments  in LR4 (PV2012) show up in bridge and photoshop when I save the metadata to file in LR4, PSD adjustments in LR4 don't show up. I'm running CS5.

    Peggy, your post fixed this problem for me.
    My guess would be that the Pages folder in the Mobile Documents folder on your Mac is corrupt. That does seem to happen more with the Pages folder than the other folders in there. The Mobile Documents folder is on the first level of your user library. The user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Move the com~apple~Pages folder to your desktop & restart Pages. A new com~apple~Pages folder should be created with copies of the files from iCloud. If it doesn't repopulate, you can open the copies in the folder you moved to the desktop & again move them to iCloud by clicking on the document title.
    Saving the files locally to your hard drive & then moving them to iCloud seems to have less problems with corruption of this folder.
