Edits in Lightroom 5-then in Photoshop CC -back to Lightroom

Hi,
Hope you can help.
1) Imported a raw image from camera (converted to dng) into lightroom 5.
2) performed some edits in the "Develop" module.
3) Did some further external edits in Photoshop CC-by switching to Photoshop CC trough Lightroom -"edit in" Lightroom menu item- Lightroom edits preserved in photoshop.
4 "saved" in Photoshop CC
5) Back to Lightroom-- Original edits from lightroom no longer in edited copy from photoshop.
Question-- How to preserve Lightroom edits? Tried doing a copy of the Lightroom settings before going to Photoshop and then pasting back into the edited copy form photoshop. Did not work out-Don't know which setting to save-saving everthing- terrible result.
Thanks.

When you send to PSD with Lightroom changes, it should render one layer in PSD that represents the original image and any changes you made in LR. So if you're seeing all those changes in PS, I'm not sure how that layer could have things undone to it. Are you sure the changes are represented in PS and not simply the PS showing the image differently? Can you try it with a drastic change in LR like a heavy, heavy vignette and make sure that shows up in PS?
Was that the first trip in to PS for that image? I've seen some inconsistencies before with multiple trips in to PS with XMP turned on where Lightroom gets out of sync with the changes that were made in PS. I did a post about it over on my blog that's a bit complicated so I'll link it here: http://bit.ly/14khoR2. Not sure if the same situation can happen with the DNG.
When you get back in to Lightroom, does the film strip have a little icon on the image that looks like three lines and an exclamation mark? That's the "I'm out of sync" with the metadata warning flag.
If you export to Photoshop as TIFF, do you see the same behavior?
Finally, does it do it on every image or just one? Maybe LR got glitched with what it thought were changes for that specific image and needs a kick.

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.

Exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom shows different results in Lightroom than in Photoshop

I has set the color space to ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have also calibrated my monitor.
But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.

Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.

Lightroom doesn't stack photo with original back to lightroom when finished editing in photoshop

Hi, hope someone can help.
My lightroom isn't broken, just an annoying thing is happening.
When I used to edit in photoshop, I would finish, photoshop would ask if I wanted to save changes, I would, then when I went back to lightroom the edited photo was right there next to the original raw (a tiff).
Now it doesn't show in lightroom.
I can get the tiff into lightroom by going to import, finding in the folder where the original raw file is and importing.
I have checked under settings, and the 'stack with original' is checked.
Just wondered if I had messed a setting somewhere.
Thanks for you help
Paul

Thanks for your help 007.
I got it working, I reinstalled lightroom and it was still the same, no re-imports of edited photo's.
So here's what I did. I changed the file type when editing in photoshop to PSD (in preferences), and that worked. So I changed it back to TIFF and that works now too.
Cheers

Edit RAW in Lightroom 4 then Merge in Photoshop 6, or Merge in Photoshop 6 then Edit in Lightroom 4?

I am wanting to make a panorama. Should I first Edit my RAW files in Lightroom 4 then Merge in Photoshop 6, or Merge in Photoshop 6 and then Edit in Lightroom 4?
I can easily edit the RAW files first and then go back and redo them if I have to in Lightroom, but if I Merge it first in Photoshop I no longer have a RAW file to play with.
I am using .DNG files in Lightroom.

I would import the individual photos into LR, make adjustments to the individual photos, use LR’s Merge in Photoshop to create your panorama in PS, then you can make adjustments in PS and LR, but the panorama is no longer a raw file.
You could obviously use Bridge and ACR to do similar things to the individual raw photos as you can in LR, so the choice is the import/catalog structure of LR or just the files in folders non-structure of Bridge.

When I take a photo and try to edit in Photoshop Elements 11 from Lightroom 4, it brings me to PSE 11 and opens the photo in there, but doesn't allow me to do anything - no layers, masks...anything.

I work on a PC - Windows Vista, and currently use Lightroom 4. When I try to choose the 'edit in' option and go to PSE11, it will go there and open the file, but it won't let me do anything with it. All the buttons/masks...etc are faded out and when I scroll over them a circle with a line through it comes up. Is there any way to fix this so that when I edit-in from Lightroom to PSE11 that I can actually use it? And if not, how should I save my files then so I can re-open them in PSE11? Would they need to be JPEGs, or something else? I shoot in RAW.
Thanks in advance!

Hillsitter,
I use a Windows PC and PSE Version 8.
However, I set up the link to PSE by going to Edit > Preferences and
clicking on the External Editing Tab.
I then clicked on the 'Choose' box and browsed to > Program Files > Adobe >
Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I then clicked on the Elements Organiser 8.0.exe
file to create the Link to the Elements Organiser. I could have linked to
the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe file.
I know this will be somewhat different on a Mac but the principle should be
the same i.e. link directly to the .exe file.
I hope this helps.

Is it possible to edit a DNG file in Photoshop and get back to Lightroom?

Hi,
The question title probably doesn't explain much what I'm looking for...
I shot in RAW and then converted to DNG, I like DNG and I can't understand what so many people have against it, anyway that's not the point...
I know have the DNG as my digital negative instead of the original RAW file and I start to do some editing in Lightroom. But then I realized that Lightroom is not enough for something I want to do. For instance, just today I had this picture I needed to remove some people and I had to use heal/clone but as you know, Lightroom's clone and heal features are not as flexible as Photoshop ones.
So now I needed to go into Photoshop, fix the photo and get back to Lightroom and continue my editing. However, I couldn't find a way to do it how I wanted to do... What I did was open the original (unedited) DNG in Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw pops up and I ignore it, remove the people from the photo and save as TIFF. Then, back in Lightroom I open the new edited TIFF and copy Lightroom's settings from one photo (the DNG) to the other (the edited TIFF).
This workflow sucks and I know there are some options in Lightroom to automate it, but still, I don't think it would solve my problem. At least I couldn't find a way to do it...
What I wanted to do instead was to indeed remove that people from the photo with Photoshop but keep those changes in DNG. But take a note here that those changes could very much be destructive, I'm not talking about ACR or Lightroom's non-destructive editing, the removed people would be gone forever unless I draw some new ones. I really wanted to edit and save some changes on the DNG in Photoshop and keep editing the DNG in Lightroom without using a TIFF in between, do everything in the DNG.
Is this possible or not at all?

sorry, no can do...ain't gonna happen.
What you've done is hit the wall on is the basic difference between lite duty spot healing and photo level tone and color correction (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and heavy duty pixel retouching in Photoshop.
When you need to substantially manipulate the "pixels" you need Photoshop and you'll be forced to render the raw file into a TIFF or PSD file either through Camera Raw or more better, via Lightroom.
You can do the basic tone and color correction directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED to create and save out a "rendered" image that is no longer raw...then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in Lightroom along side your original raw if you choose.
But no, there's no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with massive retouching then save that back out as a raw file...ain't gonna happen.

Edit in Photoshop CC from within Lightroom 4.4

I have replaced a Windows 7 installation of Photoshop CS4, with CS6, then with Photoshop CC. Now, when I right-click an image in LR to Edit in Photoshop, the menu option for Photoshop appears in the submenu as the Windows pathname to the old CS4 program, and I don't see an option to Edit In Photoshop CC. Clicking on the option that's presented, and selecting to edit a copy, simply creates a new PSD in LR, then nothing. Photoshop doesn't fire up.
[Edit] I have the same problem trying to 'Open with' in Bridge CC - it tries to use the old CS4 filepath to open Photoshop.
I've tried re-installing Lightroom but that hasn't fix it.
Please tell me how to update the 'Edit In' menu to show an option to run PSCC?
Thanks for your help...

Problem was solved after a chat with Adobe Support. It was a matter of changing a couple of filepaths in the Registry.

Edit in Photoshop Elements 9 from Lightroom 3 on a Mac

I can't seem to get the PS9 to open properly with my photo. So I'm in LR3 and I right click and select 'edit in photoshop elements 9'. It asks me if I want to 'edit a copy with lightroom adjustments' - I say yes and click 'edit'.
PS9 opens and I see the welcome screen with the PS9 editor behind it but neither have my photo loaded. I can close the welcome screen but the editor still doesn't have my photo loaded.
How do I get PS9 to open my photo so I can edit it?
Any help appreciated - I'm probably just missing something simple but it's eluding me...

Multiple Edits in Photoshop not saving into Lightroom?

In Lightroom 3 I was able to edit in Photoshop, save the file, then make another edit in photoshop and save it under a different name, and that file would also show up in Lightroom.
For example;
in Lightroom I select "Image 1" and select edit in photoshop,
I edit this in photoshop and save.
Lightroom shows "Image 1-edit"
I make another edit and select "Save As" and save it as "Image 1 Alternate".
"Image 1 Alternate" shows up in Lightroom next to "Image 1-edit"
This does not appear to be happening with Lightroom 4. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
Thanks for your replies

I'm assuming here that you are using Photoshop CS5.x and the current version of Camera Raw? If so, this is as expected...LR4 is using a pipeline that will match up to ACR 7 when it's released.
As it is now, LR4 must actually do the processing prior tp sending it to Photoshop. LR4 also has to save the file on disk prior to sending it to Photoshop.
If you were using ACR 7 in CS6 then ACR would actually be doing the processing and the behavior of this way of opening in Photoshop does NOT have to save the file prior to sending it to Photoshop. When ACR does the opening, you can do a Save or a Save As and Lightroom will know about those saves. Pretty LR4 doesn't know where the Save As file goes to and that's why it isn't showing up.
The two basic behaviors; LR synced with ACR and LR not synced with ACR goes back to version 2 (I think). It's a limitation in LR when LR and ACR aren't in sync.

Using Lightroom and then ACR and Photoshop on a another Computer

Hi all,
I am wondering how I go when it comes to using photoshop lightroom on my home computer, with photoshop only for additional work yet at the same time being able to edit photos at school (they do not have lightroom) on ACR and Photoshop. Is their away where the changes I make at school will sync? Surely I must be able to do it and won't have to give up lightroom.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated or links to tutorials etc.
Thanks in advance

Convert propitiatory RAW files to DNG and select save metadata to file, or save the metatdata to file as xmp data. This data will then be recognised by Bridge/ PS on other machines and any processing and labelling will be recognised by Bridge/PS. However these applications are not non destructive, so any changes made to the image subsequently on your schools computer using PS rather than LR will require the production of a new file. A better way, IMO, would be to export images following processing them in LR as 16 bit TIFF files for use at school (and to encourage them to get Lightroom).
As you can use LR on two computers under your license there is nothing preventing you installing a copy on a school machine (as long as the school will let you) and using your license. This can only be for use by yourself, but you could show your teachers how useful it is and you would be able to take your catalog on an external disk with you and use it there.

Edit files in Photoshop and going back to Lightroom

When I right click a photo in Lightroom and say edit in Photoshop, I do the edits needed and then click save but it doesn't take the changes back to Lightroom. We are using Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5. I have never had any trouble with this before so was wondering if there is some setting I need to chanage. I keep having to re import them and then it leaves a white box like it lost the photo in the row at the bottom. Please reply!
Thanks,
Jules

In the Library Module go >View >Sort and check <Filename> and <Ascending> or <Descending> whichever you prefer.

Lightroom can't find Photoshop CS3 to edit files?

I installed Lightroom, and then the 1.1 update when I had Creative Suite 2 installed on my Sony Vaio laptop.
I've since installed Creative Suite 3, and uninstalled CS2...
Now, when I try to edit a photo from Lightroom, it can't find Adobe Photoshop. The only way I can edit in photoshop from Lightroom is to set Photoshop CS3 as an 'external' editor.
How can I reset Lightroom to recognise that I've got Photoshop CS3 installed?
Cheers,
J.

Hi Wick,
The 'external' editor is called by CTRL-ALT-E.. Lightroom appears to keep CTRL-E purely for Photoshop, and this isn't editable...
However, I have solved the problem.. well, at least found a workaround... I don't know what caused it - perhaps the uninstallation of CS2 AFTER installing CS3?
If you have this problem, you'll need to add the following key to the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\photoshop.exe
create a new string value called "path" that contains the path to your photoshop.exe file.
Then Lightroom will find photoshop and you can edit using CTRL-E again and still keep a secondary editor!

Editing HDR in Lightroom or stay in Photoshop? Color difference?

Once I merge files as HDR to photoshop from lightroom, I then set it to 32 bit. Then I can make all the edits in Adobe Camera Raw, after I hit save, it will then be in Lightroom as a .Tif file. But, what about if I merged to HDR in photoshop and didn't adjust anything with camera raw, and just hit save, then when I adjust it in lightroom, will it be the same? In other words, when I adjust it in Lightroom I know I'm adjusting a .tif file. Am I doing the same in photoshop or has it not became a .tif file yet?
Also, I noticed a massive color difference. I got the edit to look perfect in camera raw. I saved it, when I look at the lightroom version it doesn't look as clear, it looks like it has more saturation than I actually used, maybe even more clarity or sharpness as well. The colors aren't going together smoothly like on the camera raw version. What would I do to fix this?

My ACR 8.8 and LR5.7.1 HDR 32bit images look identical. This is probably due to your Camera Raw Preferences settings:
If set as above LR can't see your ACR settings. If set as below LR can see the ACR settings since they are saved in the TIFF metadata.
To see your LR settings in ACR you need to change your LR Catalog Settings. You can also set 'Automatically write changes into XMP, but I don't recommend that unless you also want to create XMP sidecars for all your raw file edits. You' can use CTRL +S key to save the LR Develop settings to the TIFF.
