From LR 4.3, saved edits in Photoshop CS6 not changing in LR (when running an Action)

From Lightroom 4.3, I am editing to Photoshop CS6 and able to make my edits and adjustments with a couple of Nik Software plugins running in an Action. The Action saves correctly and the changes are visible in Photoshop. When I switch back to Lightroom, the changes did not save.
However, when I try to do the same thing and replicate the steps of the Action manually, the changes do save correctly and they are visible in Lightroom.
This same action worked perfectly fine before I updated to LR4.3. The Action is key to my workflow, and not being able to use it significantly slows me down.
Is there a workaround known?
Thanks!

Web-Weaver,
Thanks for that detail. When I looked at my Action, it indeed was a <save as> command. So I re-recorded the Action, and recorded <save>, but in the Action, it still shows up as a <save as> recorded entry. I don't seem to be able to edit the entry to make it just a <save>.
Some additional detail, the <save as> that was recorded specifies that it be saved as a PSD format, and it also specifies a distinct filename and location. When I created a Droplet, and ran it on several files, they were all saved to that same filename.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
Nick

How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

Hello!
How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?
Using LR5 with PS CS6 on a Mac 10.9
THANK YOU!

Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.

Edit in Photoshop CS6 not working

I recently upgraded to lightroom 5 and CS6 and for some reason I can no longer us the "edit in CS6" option. Lightroom will go as far as to open photoshop, but won't open the image which I have set to open as an 8bit PSD sRGB. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, what i meant by user accounts is this.
On my Imac, i've created 2 user accounts. User A and User B. when I log in as User A and use lightroom and CS6 everything works fine. When I log in as User B, I have the issue with lightroom not opening raws in photoshop. Both users are using the system applications.
Ah, OK so I assume the admin account works, the other doesn't? Have to say I'm not savvy enough to understand what Photoshop/LR need in terms of items in the main account to make this all work. I might have to try that test on this end as I have two accounts too. I use the 2nd for trouble shooting. I suspect the primary account has something, somewhere in the user Library installed by Adobe that is accessed where it might not be in account #2.
If one account works, the other doesn't, we have to pinpoint what files are missing from the account that doesn't work.

How do I get Photoshop to stop changing the page when I zoom in or out?

I was wondering how to stop my screen in photoshop to not change the page when I zoom in or out. When I zoom in the page adjust and make the panel smaller. I would like to leave the screen ful size and just the image zoom in and out

Argh! Don't you just hate that! I don't know why Adobe set that as default behavior. To stop it go to Photoshop Preferences > General and uncheck "Zoom Resizes Window"
You can also hit the F key once to enter Full Screen Mode.

Issues with exporting photos to be edited in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 5.6 using Yosemite OS.

Suddenly, I'm unable to edit my photos from Lightroom 5.6 in Photoshop CS6. I have recently converted from Mavericks to Yosemite OS. But, I haven't had any issues for the past week or two. Now, whenever I try to Edit photos from Lightroom 5.6 in Photoshop CS6, either nothing happens. Or from the drop down menu, the option to Edit in Photoshop CS6 is greyed out. Both Lightroom and Photoshop are the latest versions. I've even uninstalled, and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 without any improvement. Help!!!

Sorry, I was wrong about the check box, that only works if you are importing images from a memory card. If they are already in the catalogue, they will be greyed out in either case.
"I'm pretty confident therefore that it is not in the catalog but it appears that Lightroom for some reason thinks it is." Well I can't read Lightroom's mind, but I think that Lightroom thinking it is in the catalog is the same thing as it being in the catalog.
When you still have the edited file open in Photoshop CS6, after you have edited and saved it as "IMG_4312-edit.tif," what happens if you try "save as," does it bring you to the correct folder to save it in? If you try to save as without changing the name does it ask if you want to overwrite the original? Can you now save it with a new name (e.g. "IMG_4312-Edit2.tif") and have it show up?
You type above, "IMG_4312.CRW, I do some edits in Lightroom but I want to do some more in Photoshop so I send it to the PS CS6 from within Lightroom. The image opens, I make my edits and I click Save. This creates a new file called IMG_431-Edit.tif." 4312 vs. 431 just make sure you aren't making the same small mistake when searching for the file.

Edit in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.1 fails

I am using LR 4.1 and PS CS6 on a Win7 64bit system. Previously with LR3 and LR4 I was able to "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom to CS5 and all was well. Now with LR4.1 and PS CS6 when I "Edit in Photoshop CS6" I get a partial image. Any image that I try produces various versions of this. The attached screen capture shows a blank area in the upper left corner. Other images have shown several smaller blank areas in various positions on the image, and one image contained several blank areas plus a small inset of the image.
This is quite frustrating, as I generally use LR to crop and make minor adjustments in a photo, then edit some photos in PS. Now I can no longer edit anything in PS without first exporting the image from LR, work on it in PS, then save it and reimport it into LR. Very inconvenient.
Please advise what I am doing wrong or let me know if there is a workaround.
Thanks in advance,
-Herschel

This is probably a video card driver bug which has been reported in the PS forum from time to time. It's a PS problem, not a LR problem.
Assuming this is Windows, go to the video card maker's website and download an updated driver. Don't rely on Windows update; they're frequently several versions behind. On a Mac it would have to be through OS X updates.

Anyone? The only way I can edit in PS is to export to the HD as a TIFF, edit, then manually reimport into PS.

Can't "Edit in Photoshop CS6" in Lightroom 4.1, after upgrading Photoshop from CS4

I recently installed Creative Suite 6 Production Premium, and uninstalled Photoshop CS4, but Lightroom seems to be confused and doesn't show "Edit in Photoshop CS6" as an option.
Lightroom seems to be aware that Photoshop CS4 is no longer installed: the first command under "Edit In" is "Edit in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop...", and all the Photoshop-specific "edit in" commands (smart object, layers, etc.) are unavailable. I tried adding Photoshop CS6 as a secondary editor, but this makes Lightroom export a TIFF to PS rather than opening the file in Camera Raw.
I'm not sure what I have to do to convince Lightroom that I have Photoshop CS6 installed. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, I had searched the forums before and couldn't locate an answer, but ended up finding an answer through the "more like this" links at the right. The CS4 path was stored in the Windows registry; I had to update it to CS6 and it's now working perfectly.
Just in case anyone else comes across this problem, here's the forum post:

If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.

Edit in Photoshop CS6 doesn't work with Nikon D800E NEF files in LR 4.1 RC

The "Edit in Photoshop CS6" menu item or shortcut (cmd+e) doesn't work for NEF files from a Nikon D800E in Lightroom 4.1 RC. What happens is that LR looks like it goes through all its normal paces, and launches Photoshop, and the CPU spins, but then nothing happens in Photoshop, the image never opens.
This works fine for NEF files from other cameras.

Set up CS6 as an secondary editor, and then it will use LR's built-in ACR to process the files, instead of the external ACR with CS6. The external ACR 6.7 also processes D800, just not ACR 7 just yet.

Edit in Photoshop CS6 Crashes Photoshop

Hey!
Using Lightroom 4.4 on a Macbook Pro with 10.8.2 installed. Every time I chose a photo (or photos) from Lightroom and select any of the "Edit in Photoshop CS6" options, it will open Photoshop, temporarily open the images, and then crash Photoshop completely.
Any suggestions?

I am baffled. I have uninstalled all the Adobe products on my computer/reinstalled, set up a new catalog in Lightroom, tried having them both open at the same time prior to selecting edit in Photoshop, but it still happens every time.
I did find out that selecting "Open as Smart Object in Photoshop" does not crash it though, which I thought was strange.
Any input?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Problem with filters not finding an image in LR 4.0 after being edited in Photoshop CS6 beta

I am running Lightroom 4.0 on a Win7 Professional 64-bit system. I have come up with a strange problem I can describe but don't know how it can more generally be duplicated, unless this is a Photoshop CS6 beta bug.
I am looking through in Library module at a shoot. When I filter by a keyword that some of the pictures have, a recently edited image does not show up. Here is what I mean; let X=IMG_6260:
1) For X.CR2, edit in Photoshop CS5. All works well - X-ed.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
2) Clicking on X-ed.tif, edit in Photoshop CS6 beta. All seems fine - X-ed-2.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
3) The keywords on all three images - the original and the two edits - are the same. I can confirm that by, in grid view, selecting these three and noting no asterisks in the composite keyword view. One of the keywords is the person's name - let's say it is "Sara".
4) Now, when I click in the keyword list on "Sara", all images in this most recently imported set show up with her *except* X-ed-2.tif - the one created by CS6 beta.
Strange! Should this be reported in a CS6 forum? Thanks.

A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore HELP

Hi, please help with my issue which is as follows:
A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore and sends a message saying that the file is not compatible.
What should I do, I have invested so much in that file and I dont think i will be able to do it all over again.

That's why people do incremental saves and use backups... You could try to open the file in an image viewer like IrfanView and see which parts are salvagable, but that's as good as it gets most likely...
