How do I edit in Photoshop from Illustrator

I am running CS4 Master Suite on Mac 10.5.8 and in other CS versions of Illustrator, I could select the image I just placed and click "Edit Original" and the image would then open in Photoshop. Now the "Edit Original" is grayed out. I am sure it's a simple setting I am overlooking and I tried to search the forum, but get an admin error when trying to search the forum no matter what info I add in the search field. It seems the forum is all Adobe what's to give us as far as tech support....and now it is giving errors!

Good advice already, this may be helpful too:
When placing images, enable "link":
When saving AI, do not enable "Include Linked Content" (unless you have a need to embed all of your links, because that's what it does):
It is not necessary to embed links for other applications, the image data is included in the PDF output portion of the AI file, and the other app will reference the PDF output (as long as you check "Create PDF Compatible File)
As long as you always save this way, and link when placing, links remain dynamic content in Illustrator, and image links can be accessed in Photoshop with "Edit Original" in either the links panel or the Control bar.

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

  • Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom doesn't work; Automate Photomerge doesn't work

    Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom doesn't work.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    Likewise,  I also can't automate>Photomerge ...  I pick all the images for the PHotomerge and hit "okay," but nothing happens.   Makes me think it's  Photoshop, not Lightroom, that is all wacky.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and reinstalled. No change.  I also tried dumping PS preferences, but that didn't affect a thing, either.

    None of my "Edit In" worked with the pictures in Lightroom for a particular folder. I expanded the 2014 folder and found that two subfolders had a "?" in front of the 2014-07-04" and another. In other words, the folder was missing. After I found the missing folders using the Lightroom "Find Missing Folder" option, I was able to use the "Edit In" menu item. The 2014 folders weren't expanded at first, so I didn't see the ? marks in front of them. With the missing folders, Lightroom's "Edit In" option was basically telling me there was no picture to "Edit In." Howerver, I have Previews and Smart Previews made when I import picture files into Lightroom. So, the "pictures" showed in the slide strip on the bottom, and also in the display in "expand," but it was actually only showing the previews I had built, not the actual missing pictures in the missing folders. I had accidentally moved some directories using Windows Explorer, and I didn't realize my "happy fingers" moved them outside of Lightroom. Of course, Lightroom has no way of knowing I moved them, and just shows the "?" before the missing folder name. After expanding the root folder, then knew what to do. Fixed it easily. It was frustrating, and took about 20 minutes to see the problem. And that fixed the greyed-out "Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014, and all the other plug-ins were greyed out too.
    Hope this fixes your problem.

    I want to learn editing in photoshop, from where should I start?

    Jon has sent you to the right place, but I prefer a slight change to the location
    http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-photoshop-cc/
    Perhaps start with Jon's page because it focuses on novice users, but the list in my link will let you chose things specific to your requirements.  I always think it is good to learn the things you will use over and over, because Photoshop is definitely a Use it or Lose it kind of application.
    Good luck and have fun. 

  • Issues to edit in Photoshop from Lightroom , why?

  • How do I edit Raw files from a Canon 5D using Elements 9?

    How do I edit Raw files from a Canon 5D mark 111 using Elements 9?

    The 5D mk III is supported in PSE 10 with ACR 6.7 update.
    You could download and install the latest DNG converter and use that to convert the CR2 files to DNG files (still RAW format). Then you can edit the DNG files using PSE 9.

  • How do I edit a photoshop image to fit a specific shape in Illustrator?

    I placed a photo from Photoshop into Illustrator. I am trying to place the photo into a certain shape. I want to photo to fill up the whole shape. I tried all of the placing options-bleed, trim, art, crop, and media. None of them worked. Please help!!

    purplerain,
    The path to serve as the Clipping Path needs to be a single path, possibly in the form of a compound path. Is it?
    If it is, and if you can see both the (compound) path and the image highlighted (on the Artboard/in the Layers palette/wherevere) when selected, something may have become stranger than usual.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Can't Edit In Photoshop from LR

    Hi All
    I'm on a Mac using the latest versions of LR, Photoshp CS5, and Camera RAW.  Editing 5D and 40D files.
    I cannot get RAW files to completely open up in Photoshop using either the COMMAND+E or right click Edit In Photoshop.  Upon using either of these key strokes, Photoshop will launch, but the file never opens in Photoshop.
    I tried selecting CS5 as my second external editor, and launching with "right Click Edit in" that editor, and Photoshop launches that way, but LR creates a PSD first and stores in my catalogue before moving to PS.   I prefer using the main editor as I can edit in Photoshop and choose to save the file.
    Ugh. I've tried deleting preference files and that hasn't help.  Any ideas?

    Does ACR open when you start the process in PS and use File / Open and select the RAW file?  File / Open is how Windows would do it, not sure on a Mac, but whatever you'd do in PS on a Mac to open a RAW file, without LR being involved.
    In other words, is the issue with PS opening in ACR or PS being called from LR?
    Also, if PS is already open w/o any file being edited--not as a result of a bad open from LR, but PS manually started up, does it work right from LR?  In other words if the invocation from LR doesn't actually involve starting up PS, but just communicating with the currently open PS does it work better?
    You might just try uninstalling and reinstalling LR, again.  Or even re-installing PS, although LR is easier to re-install so try that, first.

  • How do I edit optimised artwork in Illustrator so that the changes apply to all its instances?

    Hi,
    I am working on a layout in Flash Catalyst CS5 that I exported from Illustrator that is made of many instances of various optimised graphics. I now changed my mind about one of my optimised graphics and would like to make a change to it in Illustrator however I need to break it apart first in order to do so. I am stuck because I would like those changes I made in Illustrator to apply to all the instances of that optimised graphic however when I optimise the artwork back to a vector graphic, its a different symbol and therefore is no longer related to those instances. Therefore, how can I edit optimised artwork so that the changes will always apply to its instances?
    Thanks

    When you have placed your Spry menu in a Template, you must set the links in the Template and preserve the menu in an ineditable region by not making an editable region surrounding it. Don't forget to make editable regions in the rest of your page, so you can put content on the pages!
    When you save a page as a Template, the Template is placed in a Templates folder, and DW keeps track of maintaining the accuracy of the links. You do not have to change the links in the Template for the child pages, DW does that for you.
    When you are using a Template to create child pages, you do File > New Document > Page from Template, choose the template, check the box labeled "Update page when template changes" and press "Create".
    Save the page in the appropriate place in your site files, and you should be good to go.
    You can use a Template for many many pages...there is no limit, as far as I know.
    You might find it useful to review the tutorials on Templates just to refresh your understanding. Here is a link to the Help documentation: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7acda .html
