Exporting Sony RX100 II images to Photoshop

My Sony RX100 II images will not export from LR 5.3 to Photoshop. I am on the CC but for LR am not. Any idea of what to do?

Is Photoshop CC recognized as the default editor in prefs (Click image below)
On Windows go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing Tab
On Mac go to:
Lightroom >> Preferences >> External Editing Tab

  • Exporting text as an image from Photoshop

    I am using a non web safe font and so I am exporting the body of text as an image from Photoshop. Canvas size 900 x 600 pix 72 dpi.  However when viewing in the web browser the text looks soft and pixelated.  
    Does anybody know how I can solve this?   All I want is sharp lookinh text!

    Hi Vikas
    I export files from Photoshop as png's at 72 dpi.  
    Here is our current holding page.  http://www.iheartmylife.co.uk/ All the text on this page has been loaded in as png's from Photoshop along with the image. As you can see none of it is as sharp as it could be.
    Many thanks for your assistance.

  • Sony RX100 Mk3 - Image corruption on RAW import to Lightroom

    I'm using Abobe CC - newest versions
    I just got back from Europe with about 4,000 photos. I noticed a problem when I imported from my new RX100 mk3. It's the first time I've used the camera, which I'm pleased to report creates excellent images for its size.
    After importing this massive number of photos, I find:
    Jpegs are fine.
    RAW is fine generally speaking.
    However, when the sony was specifically in continuous bracket mode and shooting RAW (auto-shooting a bracketed set of 3 or 5 photos with one button press), I occasionally got some really crazy artifacts.
    Basically thin stripes across the photos where the stripes are misaligned with the rest of the photo.
    These artifacts do not appear on the camera LCD screen, and they were not created when the raw images were imported into either iPhoto or Sony PlayMemories software--even when subsequently moved into Lightroom.
    The artifacts only occurred when importing the raw images directly into Lightroom from the RX1000 iii (i.e. from the SD card).
    Just reporting it. My workaround is to replace the bad ones with imports from other software. But I probably won't be using Lightroom for importing until this is fixed.

    Hrm.  That does seem to be the issue as I experienced the same situation as described, with seeing the preview for a few seconds and then it goes crazy.  Just never seen it change so drastically before, and couldn't figure out how to get Lightroom to show it anywhere close to what the preview was.

  • Anyone else seeing distortion on raw Sony RX100 images again?

    This issue has occurred at least twice since the Sony RX100 came out, and has been fixed twice, but now I seem to be experiencing it a THIRD time. Is it just me, or is this happening to anyone else again-again-again?
    I'm running the latest Mavericks, the latest iPhoto, and whatever the current version of Camera RAW is as of June 2014. I don't know exactly when this "happened" because I haven't edited much in the past month or two, but what I'm seeing is that my raw images from my RX100 are randomly displaying distorted (as if the lens data is being interpreted incorrectly) either in view mode, editing mode, or both. The thumbnail view is always correct...which is the dead giveaway that something is amiss and the images are in fact showing up "wrong."
    If nobody else is seeing this, I'll just make sure my library is safely backed up and wipe my notebook completely and see if I can fix it. However if others are seeing this please chime in so we'll all know we're not crazy and so we can collaborate on getting Apple made well aware that this has somehow broken yet one more time...

    It's super frustrating too, because the editing window comes up correctly at first...but after about a second the image stretches out and looks all wonky.
    Try, if reprocessing the RAW files will help.
    Export one of the distorted files (File > EXport, Kind Originial), and then reimport it.
    That should reprocess the original RAW file, using the reinstalled RAW support.
    Can you now edit the file?  If yes, back up your iPhoto library and try, if rebuilding the library will reprocess all RAW files. 

  • Exported image not like image in Photoshop

    Hello,
    I need some help. I processed one of my cat photos in Photoshop and when I was happy with the results I expored the photo. This is how it looks like in Photoshop:
    And this is how it looks like after the export:
    Can someone explain to me why the exported image is not like the image in Photoshop?
    Thank you for your help!
    Jonahan

    Hmmm,sorry to hear that.
    I assume you do the roundtrip through apps [Lr>Ctrl+E > Ps > Ctrl+S > Lr]
    Did you use RAW or Jpg files?
    can you check Proof>view setup,or gamut warning if you accidentally check any of these?
    Check in the Develop mode in Lr >camera calibration>Adobe standard [although i don`t think is that..]
    If you work in both programs with the same color space check your monitor and/or your card
    [Maybe your card LUT have a problem,did you calibrate your monitor?]

  • Exporting Images from Photoshop to Corel Draw

    Hi. I have an image of 400 dpi & image size 47X26inches. I want to export it in corel draw to design an ad for magazine. The size of this image has to be 4X1.5inches. I want to maintain the clearity of the image. So, while exporting should i keep all values same & then export or should i decrease the image size in photoshop(keeping it to 400 dpi) & then export it to corel, which will be better. Pls help

    Either export as a smaller image (reducing image quality) or use the custom export option to set the maximum Pixel dimension you want (reducing the actual size of the image is better than reducing the image quality) - see the User Tip on exporting for details on the options available

  • What settings are best to export sharpened images from Photoshop to use in Final Cut?

    I need to give a professional photographer the correct dimensions to export her images from Photoshop for me to use in Final Cut. I told her:
    1080 x 1920, 300 dpi, and also to Convert Images to Apple RGB (Final Cut doesnt work well with Adobe RGB, I am told). Her images have alot of heavy sharpening on them--she is an artist--and when i import them into Final Cut, many of the lines that should be crisp are zig-zagged, and if I apply motion to them, they "shake."
    My problem is specific to images that have been highly sharpened in Photoshop; i have imported lots of professional images before with no problem. I am on deadline and hope someone out there will see this.

    You were right about trashing the finalcut plist. As well as a very specific set of directions I now have put together from what you and others have said elsewhere, and this is it, i hope it helps others with their Canon XHA1 and Final Cut Express HD:
    Trash the final cut preferences (plist) in your Home - LIbrary.
    go into the Canon XHA1 menu, make sure that you're not set to down-convert to DV.
    Get out of the menu. Shut the camera off,
    plug in the firewire cable to both the camera and computer,
    and turn the camera back to VCR mode.
    Open up Final Cut, and go to Easy Setup ,
    choose HDV- Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
    This worked beautifully but took me nearly four hours to figure out, including researching the web and experimenting in FCE HD

  • Sony RX100: quality of RAW conversions in LR 4.2 RC

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a Sony RX100 as a replacement for an aging Canon S90. Before that I've tried the fantastic Olympus OM-D (but returned it because of a - for me - serious issue with the Sony-sourced sensor, see here http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1008&message=42126356 and because the support for camera calibration profiles in LR was non-existing). I'm happy to concede that I'm spoiled by the fantastic support LR provides for my D700 and even, S90 RAW images...
    So with that background I've approached the RX100 images with a healty portion of scepticism. What I've found surprised me:
    1) the standard Adobe Standard camera calibration setting gave the best results, the other profiles gave strange (magenta) color casts, especially with direct sun light.
    2) I've found that images taken in parallel with my old S90 to give much nicer colors (though of course with a lot less resolution and more noise) - but again the colors looked much nicer, especially skies, greenery etc. I've also noted (and this was also present with the OM-D images) that the Sony image conversions has a touch too much red tint, which I had to correct manually (this doesn't happen with D700 and S90 images).
    So, I'd like to post my first impressions here for comments ;-)
    Did anybody else have similar results? Maybe I did something wrong?

    Is the DNG opened in PS as a normal picture (not in the ACR dialoge!) with the title "xyz.DNG"? If that is the case, it is actually correct. When LR detects a compatible ACR (which happened after you installed ACR 6.7), it will pass the raw/DNG directly to PS without rendering a TIFF on its own. The file name indicated by photoshop is the original raw/DNG file then.
    When you save the picture in photoshop, it will create the actual image file using the file type and other options (color space, bit depth...) you configured in Lightroom. So the outcome of the whole "edit in..." action is exactly what you want, with Photoshop creating the image file at the time you save it.
    P.S. What happened before updating to ACR 6.7 was that probably sometimes before, the ACR compatibility warning dialog appeared and you chose "render using lightroom", causing LR to produce the TIFF file on its own and Photoshop to load that TIFF file, and consequently also displaying "xyz.TIFF". Now that LR considers ACR 6.7 as compatible, that behaviour is replaced with the new behaviour as described above - and the warning dialog no longer appears.

  • Lightroom 4 update for sony rx100 iii

    I have lightroom 4 installed on my Mac. I recently purchased a sony rx100 III and version 4 doesn't recognize the camera and won't import images. Is there an update to version 4 that I could download to fix the problem?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Unfortunately, the Sony RX100 III was first supported in Lightroom 5.5.
    Retrospective support is never provided meaning earlier versions will never be able to open Raw files from that camera.
    Choices:
    Upgrade to Lightroom 5.6
    Join the Cloud to get Lightroom 5.6
    Free option: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all RX100 III files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4

  • Raw Update 4.08 removes distortion correction for Sony RX100 files?

    I loaded raw update 4.08 on my 27 inch iMac yesterday. A while later, I opened Aperture 3 to export some RX100 files from a family event last week to Smugmug. To my horror, as the photos loaded when I viewed them, the automatically applied lens distortion correction was removed and obviously it was worst with the wide ones. The issue also shows up in iPhoto, so it seems a general OS thing. To confirm it was indeed due to the raw update, I exported the same raw files to my MacBook Air, which I hadn't updated yet. Sure enough, Aperture loaded them with distortion correction just fine. Obviously, I won't be updating the MacBook until this issue is fixed.

    This may be disappointing, but it is expected.  Note that Aperture has removed nothing, however.  What you are seeing is caused by using a RAW Original instead of a JPG Original.
    The Apple RAW Compatibility Update is part of the OS.  The RAW converter in OS X is system wide.  Any program can use it.  Aperture uses it.
    Aperture does not, afaik, do _any_ lens correction.  Lens correction must be handled by a plug-in or external editor (or done outside of Aperture).
    The files you had imported and viewed prior to the most recent RAW Compatibility Update were JPGs.  They were converted in-camera.  The camera contains the software to correct for lens distortion when it converts the sensor data to a JPG file.  Now that you can view the converted RAW files, you can see that this distortion correction is not applied.  That makes sense:  Aperture is doing the conversion, not your Sony camera.
    So there is no issue to be fixed.  If you want to use Sony's lens corrections, you have to either use the JPGs created by the camera, or convert the RAW using Sony's RAW converter (Image Data Converter v. 4).  Other software may also apply lens distortioin correction (I don't know).  Aperture does not.
    This is a much-asked-for feature request.  If you would like to see it added to Aperture, tell Apple.  The only line they listen to is "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".  It certainly wouldn't hurt to add your voice.
    HTH.

    I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto.  I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them.  I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows.  I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years.  Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge.  180GB plus.
    I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive.  For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge.  The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows.  What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
    If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient.  If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward.  However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto.  In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases.  If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
    Some guidance and insight would be appreciated.  I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later. 

    Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
    Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
    Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
    For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
    Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
    The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
    Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
    These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
    So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
    So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

  • When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

    When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • Raw File update: how to open Sony RX100 III files in CS5?

    I cannot download updates for CS5 Extended for Sony Raw.
    How can I update my Photoshop CS5 Extended to permit it to handle Raw files from my Sony RX100 III on my Mac?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The RX100 III was first supported in Camera Raw 8.5 which is only compatible with CS6 and later.
    So there is no Camera Raw plugin for CS5 which will open Raw files from that camera.
    Options:
    1. Upgrade to CS6
    2. Join the Cloud
    3. Free option: download the Adobe DNG Converter, convert all RX100 III Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNG files in CS5 Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)

  • Lack supporting Sony RX100 II in Adobe Camera RAW

    Please, integrate full support Sony RX100 & RX100 II to Adobe Camera RAW. This is a very good and expensive cameras. I replace my Nikon D5100 with Sony RX100 II, and second gives better quality despite very small size. But support in Camera RAW limited to opening ARW files — there are no lens profiles for this cameras: automatic correction of chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting does not work.

    Hi,
    That specific camera doesn't seem supported as far as lens correction profiles in the latest camera raw 8.2 in photoshop cs6/cc, but you could download the
    the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader and search for one.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
    The best match i could find is for the Sony RX100, so you can try them and see if they are satisfactory.
    After you download the profile(s), they should show up in camera raw.

  • Why isn't JPG an option for opening an image in Photoshop?

    When Photoshop is chosen as the external editor, you only have a choice of TIFF or PSD as the file format. So when I wanted to make a small change to a 3 MB jpeg image in Photoshop, it came back into Aperture as a 40 MB alternate master file. This is crazy! I can't afford enough disk space for 40 MB files every time I want to modify an image in Photoshop! Am I missing something here?

    The idea at work here is that Aperture is a non-destructive editor, and that you don't degrade your image quality until the final export. If you go to JPEG mid process and then make more edits then do a final export as JPEG, you're degrading your images twice... Pretty much any type of editing will occur at a higher quality in PSD or TIFF than in JPEG, even if you can't always notice it.
    If you don't want to dedicate the disk space to those versions permanently, all you have to do is sort your project by file size within Aperture after you've done your final export, then delete the TIFFs/PSDs, which will naturally float to the top. If you put a lot of work in them, burning a DVD of them before losing them would be a good idea.
    This is really "best practices," and as such Aperture is doing the right thing.
