How do I create "How to" files in Lightroom similar to Photoshop CS3

Hi
I've run a search in the forums and the like but haven't been able to come up with any thing.
I watched and tried out Matt Klowkowskis' "Printing multiple photos in multiple sizes using picture package". What I want to do is make a "help file" in light room that will have my notes on how to do this rather than trying to find the video next time I want to do this.
In CS2 & 3, I was able to convert John Shaw's "Photoshop CS3 Guide" into a set of HTML files that allowed me to go to a specific chapter with out having to load the book in and pop in and out of Photoshop.  I also did the same thing with a couple of the user manuals for plug ins.
In Photoshop the instructions on how to create "help files" are under help/How to create how tos.
Thanks

I don't believe that capability is in Lightroom.  What you will probably have to do is create JPEG screenshots and then open those in Photoshop to create your help files.

  • File name after opening in Photoshop CS3

    After adjusting an image in Lightroom 1.1, I open it, reflecting the Lightroom changes, in Photoshop CS3. When I'm done tweaking the image in Photoshop CS3, I save it as a PSD file. The problem: I find that two PSD files have been saved, one with the file name (as I intended) and one with the file name with "-Edit" appended to it (before the PSD extension). How can I avoid having the second file (with the "-Edit" appended) created and saved?
    Thanks.
    Harvey

    The -edit file is the first file. That file is the method LR uses to send the image to CS3.

  • Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS3 do not recognise Canon PowerShot S90 raw files

    My husband has lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS3 but they don't recognise CanonPowershot S90 camera raw files. I've tried searching for the problem on internet but can't find anything that helps. Adobe's DNG converter doesn't work either. I've tried different versions of the DNG converter to no avail. Buying a new Adobe product is out of the question.
    Another problem is that his e-mail address has been changed so that he can't login to his Adobe account. We used to be able to contact Adobe Netherlands by phone or email but that option isn't available anymore.
    Can anyone help please?

    Go to here:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.6
    or here:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.6
    for the final versions of LR3. Download and install the software. You do not need to remove your present installation first, LR will install over it and fix any faults that now exist.
    Your husband can log onto his Adobe account with the old email address and when in the account can edit the address to the new one.

  • How can I import files into Lightroom 3 from Photoshop elements 8?

    I just installed Lightroom 3 and bypassed the option to import my pics from Photoshop elements 8 (to see what other options were available). Lightroom advanced a page and there seems to be no way to return to the previous page, I've closed the page & reopened a few times.
    I cannot locate where PSe8 stores it's files either so that is not an option. How do I reset lightroom to import my old files? Thank you.
    I also see "upgrade files" but have no idea what this means & don't see an explanation; a simple definition would be great. Thanks again!

    Thanks Beat,  I first had to make up a name for a new group then it opened Lightroom so I could do as you suggested - sucess!

  • How to install Camera RAW update for Photoshop CS3?

    I know this is an ancient version! But for now it's all I need. Anyway...
    My Adobe Updater says "No Internet connection.  Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall.  Waiting for connection..." That's the first problem.  I figured out how to manually update Photoshop and Bridge, but Adobe Updater still shows this message when trying to check for updates.  Also, I've tried to update Camera Raw from 4.0 to 4.6 and I can't figure out how to manually install it.  I knkow the website says to do the following:
    Mac:
    Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
    Open the Finder.
    Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user’s home folder).
    Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats.
    Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensureyou keep this version in case you need to revert back.
    Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
    Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
    I manually entered "Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats" and it says this folder doesn't exist.  Can anyone help me update my camera raw?!
    Thank you so much!

    BTW, I have tried to avoid posts in the past with my other software so not sure how I will receive the reply - assume I'll get an email.

    Thanks for your guidance, I had no idea what SDK is & only noticed Lighhtroom so picked it.

  • How to make Bridge CS4 compaitible with Photoshop CS3?

    (MacBook Pro, OS 10.5)
    After suffering many crashes and terrible performance of Photoshop CS4, I want to switch back to Photoshop CS3. But there is one thing that holds me - Bridge CS4 is so damn good, that I still want to continue using it. Unfortunately, Bridge CS4 doesn't have the Automation scripts that use Photoshop CS3, it only can run them with Photoshop CS4... If I remove Photoshop CS4, the Automation menu just disappears from the Tools menu in Bridge
    Please help, is there any way I can run those Batch automations on from Bridge CS4 on Photoshop cs3? I'm not a programmer, so please be more clear, if it involves altering some files...

    Here http://www.techgreet.com/create-animated-gifs-in-adobe-photoshop/ is step by step guide to your question, i hope it will solve out your problem.

  • How to open a lightroom tif in photoshop?

    I have a document in lightroom that I want to edit in photoshop. Do I export? what is a dng?

    From LR's Develop module, using the menu:  / photo / edit in / photoshop
    If you don't have Photoshop setup as an external editor: menu: / Edit / Preferences / External Editing
    This will create a new file, send it to Photoshop, then add the saved photoshop file to the catalog when photoshop is finished.

  • How to get ImageReady CS slices into Photoshop CS3??

    I have several website interfaces designed in Photoshop CS and sliced in ImageReady. I update these sites weekly and need to work within the established slice areas. I now have Photoshop CS3 and none of the slices come with the file when opened thanks to Adobe dropping ImageReady.
    Am I missing something here?
    Please help. Updates long overdue to these websites while I try to figure out this problem.
    Thanks.
    Kirk

    The slices are for the entire interfaces on database-driven ecommerce sites, so when a product photo changes, etc. I need to replace it and the new one needs to be the exact same size obviously. Given that the interface is built by the database, the various areas that make up the interface (page top, side navigation, etc.) are not in a single document. This makes the option of redrawing all the slices and getting the resulting HTML back into the database very unattractive.
    Isn't there some way of getting the existing slices out of ImageReady and into CS3 or Fireworks? Export as something and bring in as slices? Something?
    Thanks.

  • How do I stop Lightroom importing my Photoshop files?

    Hi - I have asked this question elsewhere, but perhaps someone here has had a similar experience. In my Lightroom catalogue, I often need to open a raw (dng) file in Photoshop, work on it there and save the result as a jpeg. The jpeg is then sent to a client after which I have no further use for it, so normally I would delete it. However I find that every time I 'save as' in Photoshop, Lightroom imports that file into its database. The only exception is if I choose 'save for web' in Photoshop. I'm told that this behaviour is wrong - that LR shouldn't automatically import these images. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I solve it?
    (Mavericks, LR5.3, CS6)
    Thanks,
    Alex

    I don't use Photoshop, but from what I've read, images sent to Photoshop via 'Edit In' should be 'Saved' not 'Save As'. The jpeg should then be exported from Lightroom.
    I am sure there are those on the forum with a greater Knowledge in this process.

  • How to change length of line in Photoshop CS3

    I must be being really stupid, but I can't find out how to change the length of a line I've drawn in PS using the line tool. Can anyone help me out?

    Which type of line did you draw?
    Filled pixels, Shape Layer or Path?
    If filled pixels, then it's just like with any other pixelsyou have to erase them, or or make a selection and delete them. To lengthen, you'll have to use the Transform function.
    If you created your line as a Shape Layer or as a plain path, they are both defining the line as vector elements. If you look very closely, you'll see that the line is actually a thin rectangle-shaped patha boxif you will.
    In this case you can use the Path Selection Tool to select two of the anchor points and move them manually, or you can select the entire path and then use the Transform Path function (Command + T) and input values in the Options Bar to transform the points numerically.

    CS3 is a very old Adobe product and is not officially supported. Personally, i don't think CS3 will work on Yosemite and even if it does, by any chance, you will face many compatibility and functional issues like above.

    I am trying to activate an old version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 but internet activation is not working and the notes on the page online are not helping either. I need a person to assist me.

    You need to deal with Adobe for you problem this is an Adobe Photoshop User forum site not part of Adobe support users here do not have access to Adobe activation servers and database.  You need to get someone at Adobe to help.  Adobe support is not what it should be. Good luck.
