Externally edited phots don't transfer

I am trying to use an album to consolidate photos.
When I edit a shot in Photoshop.. the edited
photo is stored in the stack. when I attempted to
transfer the stack to the different album... the
edited version does not go..
In the belief that perhaps the edited version is
really stored as a differnt file linked to the
stack.. I have exploded the stack and tried to copy
just that edited version... nope the stack WITHOUT
the edited version goes across..
This was the way under version 1.0 and still remains
under 1.1
The edited file is considered a new master. I think that when you are dragging over the image you are dragging over a master and all of its versions, but not other masters in the stack... you would have to open the stack, select all images inside of it and drag them all over together.
To be clear, are you talking about dragging into an album or another project?

External edits (PS CS 6) do not transfer from iPhoto to Aperture

I am sharing my main Aperture libary between Aperture and iPhoto. It works well, only external edits are problematic, when done while browsing the library in iPhoto.
When I open the library in iPhoto and edit a jpeg photo in Photoshop CS6, I can see clearly the edited version in the browser, for example, after applying the oil-paint effect in CS6.
But in Aperture the edits do not show: After switching from iPhoto to Aperture the externally edited image is still showing the original version, no indication of an external edit in the badges, no new version generated.
But when I drag the preview from the browser, the preview is showing the edits done in Photoshop CS6.
I suspect, because iPhoto is not creating a new quasi master like Aperture, and the external edits are witten to the preview of the edited version, the only way to access the external iPhoto edits will be by exporting the preview.
I tried this, because I wanted to avoid the creation of tiff or psd files as quasi masters, when doing external edits on jpegs, but when the edits are invisible in Aperture it will be no great help. Now, is that a bug or a feature?
Aperture 3.5.1, iPhoto 9.5.1, PS CS6

So, to clarify, what's happening is that the Thumbnails are not updating to match the changes made in Photoshop?
Where is your Library? On your start-up disk? On an External? If on an External, what format is that?
This might be a form of corruption, try Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
Maybe I need to reset the Preferences?
Perhaps? Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (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.
Is it because I a have accumulated about 5,000 images in my library and the program is maxing out?
iPhoto 09 is good for a 250,000 images so you've got a little headroom yet...

Custom Camera Profile Disables External Editing?

I'm using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS5. The problem is that if I apply a custom camera color profile created by X-Rite Passport Color Checker, I can no longer use an external editor, such as Photoshop, to edit my photos. Before I apply the custom profile, the external editor function works just fine. If I apply a custom profile in the Camera Calibration panel, then the ability to use external editors no longer works. There is no error message, but nothing happens when I try to edit in an external editor. If I go back and turn off the custom profile and go back to Adobe Standard, then the external editor function works again. What is going on? Is there a way to make it possible to apply a custom profile in Camera Calibration and still be able to use the external editors?

A suggestion: it sometimes happens that the main "edit in PS" function gets.. a bit confused. I agree with the other posters that it's critical which program is to render your image to an editable state (ACR, or LR)... which also means, whether PS is going to simply open up an already-saved file from disk, or be passed instructions to have ACR make it an unsaved image in memory.
Perhaps there is some issue with ACR seeing the folder where Passport is saving its special camera colour profiles via LR - the more standard ones are located in a structure shared by both programs, the same as with lens profiles. This will only be a difficulty, if it is ACR which is trying to do the job of rendering the image.
Just to clarify: normally when we say LR version such-and-such is compatible with ACR version such-and-such, we are assuming that the latest available Process Version is being used within Lightroom. For any individual image which happens to be set to an earlier Process Version, the compatibility with ACR operates, as if an earlier version of LR was being used. So (for example) one image using PV 2012 would get necessarily rendered by LR when you selected "Edit in PS" with PS CS5, because that is known not to support PV2012. But another image using PV2010 might get sent directly to CS5's ACR within the same setup (provided not earlier than 6.7), without giving the option, since that version of ACR IS known to support that generation of image adjustments.
To troubleshoot whether external editing is or is not possible, it can be helpful to set up Photoshop manually as a LR external editing preset (I find this useful anyway). This is done within the lower, "additional" part of the External editing tab in LR Preferences. By browsing direct to the Photoshop executable, you can specify whether 32-bit or 64-bit, also set up the bitdepth and colourspace, and explicity name that. When this name is then selected against an image from the "Edit in..." context menu, it is definitely Lightroom that renders the image - you can be sure that ACR is not involved.
If Lightroom cannot render an image under such an external editing preset, save it to disk / add a new imported image version, and have PS open that, when a {Passport profile is selected - but those things can happen when (say) Adobe Standard is selected, then AFAICT that narrows down on LR's ability to use the profile which Passport has made. I'd still have expected some kind of a warning message.
Even if PS was for some reason unable to open the image, but LR had definitely been the one told to render it - I would not expect to have "nothing" happen. I would expect to see a new image version in LR stacked with the original - named (by default) either [Imagename]-edit.tiff or [imagename]-edit.psd - which looked exactly the same as the current LR edits, only hard-rendered into a flat pixel file.

I have a problem with external editing preferences where Photoshop will not launch when I choose "Edit In"...

Hi. I have a problem with external editing preferences. If I add Photoshop as an external editor, it won't launch when selected, if I add it as an additional external editor it will. Why? How can I fix this as I need to use Photoshop and another program as the additional external editor.
I use a Mac running OS X (10.8.5) and PS CS4 and LR 5.7. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance.

I don't know why Photoshop won't start. However, it's possible to create external editor presets using the additional external editor tools. There are instructions on how to do this in the Lightroom help. You could assign Photoshop and create one preset, and then assign another program and create another preset.
I don't know if deleting your preferences would fix the problem or not. It can sometimes fix other problems.

Some images don't transfer from RH8 to the Word output

Why is it that some images don't transfer from the RH8 file to my Word output when I generate?
They do transfer to the Flash Help, but not to Word.
Some of them are small images - just shots of icons or tools - and others are quite a bit larger.
It takes me at least another hour to format the Word document after the output.

Hi Patti,
I have had similar problems of images "softly and suddenly vanishing away" during export from RoboHelp to Word. I never really solved the problem, but I did find some useful tips.
First you shouldn't embed your images; in the Printed Documentation Wizard you should select "Link to sub-directory"
This has the advantage that lost images are now replaced by a small red cross -- easier to find when reviewing.
Next, in Word, try Edit>Links. If you are lucky you will see something like this:
Notice that some links have a Source File of ../Images; they are the ones I was missing. For some reason the path to the image file is moved up one level.
I never found out why, but the workaround was simple: copy the entire Images directory and paste it one level higher in the directory hierarchy. A waste of disk space, to be sure, but it worked. The grabs above show Word2003 and RH8.
Hope this helps,
--- Derek

External Editing Shows Elements Not PS CS3

I have Windows Vista on a PC. I also have Photoshop CS3, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop Lightroom on my computer. When I started using LR, my preferences in LR showed PS CS3 as my primary external editing software for LR. That is the way I liked it. Now, all of a sudden LR is showing Elements as my primary external editor, but I don't know why this happened or how I can change it back to CS3. I have now, since the time Elements showed up as primary on my Preferences, inserted PS CS3 as my secondary editor under LR but I'd like to make CS3 my primary editor. Anyone know how to change the preferences the way I'd like?
FYI, even though I now use LR, I'd still like to keep Elements on my computer for period of time. Just in case I change my mind about LR or need to access my photos in a way I cannot in LR. I'd also like to avoid, if I can, changing the registry on my computer.
Thanks.
Peter

Yes, archiving means effectively what you wrote. Onna Mac, it's easy to zip the file in place, then delete the application.
If you do this, you probably won't have to deal with PS matters; but I should add you'd then delete the LR prefs, and reset. Then your PS CS3 should pop into place as the default.
As to the reinstall, better have a Windows person advise, but again, I'd try the first one first.

Refernce files and external edited files

Hello,
i am testing Aperture and i was wondering if it was possible to use only refernced files.
in my Library there are only refernced files. But if I use PS to edit an files - aperture creates a working copy that will be editet an after PS saved the file Aperture as the updated copy stored in the library.
the library-file is increasing the amount of the filesize of the saved picture.
Is there anyway not to save the edited file in the library but have it as a refernced file in the library while using that very nice workflow?
Thanks
Maverick

Is this true???
My experience is that Ap creates either psd or tif file and exports it out to PS. Once editing is done, Ap reimports the edited files into Ap Library and not just modification data (since PS does change the image at pixel level, not non-destructive). The result is each tif/psd file is increasing the library size by 50+mb, depending on size of your original image.
Since I only use referenced masters, would you please be kind enough to tell me what option/steps I need to take so that, either the externally edited file gets automatically stored in the folder that the master file is, or if Ap truly only keep mod data, how I do that?
Currently, I export manually, and edit the file directly in PS and save, then re-import the edited image as referenced master and stack with the original raw. Cumbersome, but the file stays referenced in my folder where the original raw file is.
Thanks...

External Edit problem - always JPG instead of TIF/PSD

I would like to report my problem detaily, hope someone can help me out of it
I use LR 3.3 64 bit with PS CS5 64 bit on Windows7 64bit with CR6.3.
In the past, it happens like this:
    - I select External edit preference to TIFF file.
    - If i select the file "abc.jpg" and select "Edit a copy" (with or without LR changes), a file name "abc-edit.tif" will be created and opened by PS, after i finish editing, i click "Save" and the "abc-edit.tif" will appear as-is in the LR's catalog.
Now, it happens like this:
    - If i select the file "abc.jpg" and select "Edit a copy with LR changes", it will open the original file "abc.jpg" in PS (with the LR changes) (!!!).
    - If i select the file "abc.jpg" and select "Edit a copy without LR changes", it will create a "abc-edit.jpg" and open in PS. After i finished editing, if i save it as a tif/psd file, that file will not appear in LR catalog (but the "abc-edit.jpg" file)
I dont think this is normal and the effort i have tried one by one are:
    - Update camera raw to 6.3
    - Delete all PS preferences by delete all .psp file and Hold Ctrl-Alt-Shift when opening PS
    - Uninstall and reinstall PS CS5 and LR
    - Uninstall PS CS5 and install PS CS4
None of above way works for me and the problem still the same.
Anybody share the same problem w/ me and have any clue about this.
Thanks !
PS: I have googled one thread here discuss about the same problem but the way it solved doesnt work for me.
http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?6607-Lightroom-bypass-external-editor-settin gs&p=81191#post81191

LR changes are stored w/in metadata in the JPG header area so opening a JPG with LR adjustments and ending up with the same-named JPG in PS seems normal because ACR is used behind the scenes to open the file, just like it would RAW file that adjustments in the XMP sidecar.
I think LR catalogs the originally-named file, not the other name if you save it as something else.
I don't know as anything is wrong, or different than normal.
If LR is newer or older than PS by a major version (or sometimes in other cases) then editing must create a separate copy with a new name to contain the adjustments, but if your LR and ACR version of synchronized (like LR 3.3 and ACR 6.3 are) then the integration does not produce a differently-named file because the adjustments stored by LR in the metadata headers are completely compatible with PS and ACR so it just reads them and uses them to create an in-memory rendering of the changes w/o going through an intermediate file.

Likely bug with external editing (in CS5 not CS6 beta) and edited image not showing back up in LR

I have come across something strange today that I've not seen before. I'm running LR 4.0 under Win7 64-bit. I usually use Photoshop CS6 beta as my external editor, but invoke CS5 when I have to use some tools that don't support the beta. Here is the scenario:
* I have CS5 open
* I externally edit an image in CS5 and Save it from CS5 when I'm done
* The edited image does not show up in LR
* I close LR and reopen it
* There is the edited image!
I have duplicated this many times this evening. I don't think I've seen it when I've used CS6 beta.

Something strange is going on because I had the behavior reported of edited image not showing up after using another filter, Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.

Why can't I access external edit from LR4 (still OK in LR3)

I just upgraded from LR3 to LR4 and find that external editing does not work (Develop Module - Photo - Edit In). Nothing happens, no virtual copy is created and the externa; application does not launch. I have checked the external edit setup in LR Preferences and these are correct.
LR3 however continues to work correctly - saving a tiff and opening the external editor.
Is this a bug in LR4?

PPI setting in LR3 external editing option

what is the use and significance of the ppi setting (default 240) in the external editing section in LR3? what is the recommended value / how can it be derived?
Thanks,

Actually, I would disagree...
A raw file will have "native" pixel dimension (x number of pixels by x number of pixels) but not have a pixel resolution and dimension until you specify it. Since you are opening an image from Lightroom, where really only the pixel density matters, into Photoshop where resolution and dimension do matter, I would suggest setting a resolution that gives you the most useful PPI resolution for your needs. 240 PPI will give you a larger set of dimensions while being under the suggested resolution needed for halftone reproduction (which is 300 PPI). Printing to a pro quality inkjet printer is often done at 360 PPI (or above). A higher PPI will result in the image dimensions being smaller...
So, you need to decide what purposes you open images into Photoshop and settle on a resolution settings that is useful for your purpose.

External editing with PSE 6

Hi, When I select external editing, Aperture 2 creates a TIFF image and transfers to PSE6. When I am finished editing it offers me the option of saving the image outside of Aperture but does not transfer me or the image back into Aperture. This worked fine with PSE3 and Aperture 1.
Am I doing something stupid?
Thanks
MST

Try simply closing the file that you've edited in PSE6. It should ask you if you want to save. Select save and the file should close and take you back to Aperture.

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Backed library onto external hard drive, but after transfer, playlists, playcounts ect haven't saved?

On my old laptop I backed up my music on to an external hard drive ready to transfer over to my new laptop.
After copying the folder from my external to the new laptops' own drive, I duly followed instructions to restore the library.
I thought all was well and good but I noticed that it only copied the songs.. no song history or playlists. I added a new album to the library (an annoying experience after the new update in Feb) and noticed that when I went to sync my ipod (classic), all it did was charge my ipod.
So basically all my itunes is, is just a brand new library with my songs pasted in. Theres no history of song playcounts or playlists.
Needless to say im very irritated, as I have had no problems in the past and seem to have lost over EIGHT YEARS of history :/
The old laptop has been reformatted and wiped so I can't even go back and start again. Is there any way of moving my info from the ipod itself to the laptop?!! Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Ah sorted it. Basically I had renamed my iTunes folder in the hard drive, so when I transfered to My music there were two folders. I have since renamed and deleted the original iTunes folder and it works now. Thank you
