How do I export from Lightroom to Photoshop 2014 using 8-bit color?

In LR when I rt-click in the image area, a menu appears. I choose export and then Photoshop 2014.  I specify "edit with Lightroom adjustments.  When the image appears in Photoshop it indeed as the adjustments, but the color depth is always 32-bit. It's become bothersome to then down adjust the color depth to 8-bit color and I am wondering if there is a hidden export setting that will allow me to export the image as 8-bit.

You can set that in Lightroom preferences see the screen capture.

  • Exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom shows different results in Lightroom than in Photoshop

    I has set the color space to ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have also calibrated my monitor.
    But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
    Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.

    Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.

  • Moving images from Lightroom to Photoshop 2014 CC – Color Problems?

    For some reason, whenever I select "Edit in Photoshop 2014 CC", the image color is not only extremely different from what's displayed in Lightroom, it's dark and dull. However, if I export the image as a .jpg and then import it into Photoshop 2014 CC the color looks the same as what's displayed in Lightroom and this is with NO color correction.
    Why is this happening and how should I be moving files between the two apps? BTW, I shot the images with a Canon T3i that saves the image as a CR2 and JPG.
    Thanks!

    I'm running Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" works fine for me. I'm on an iMac and had Lightroom installed first, only thing I noticed is it takes PS a little longer to open up.

  • How do I export from Lightroom 3 to an Ipad 2 for the purpose of showing pictures?

    I want to use my Ipad 2 to show people pictures that I have taken.  I am not certain as to the best workflow for doing this.  I store all my pictures on external hard drives and am hoping to avoid bringing processed photos onto my computer hard drive.  I have done a search on the forum and have not seen a recommended work flow.  I would greatly appreciate some advice on this.

  • Raw files do not open from Lightroom into Photoshop 2014

    I developed files in LR and trying to open them into PS 2014 CC, it launches the program but do not open. Any idea what to do?

    Hi,
    This is a bug resulting from an uninstall of the previous Ps CC version (14.x). We are working on a fix for this currently.
    If you would like to resolve this before we can post the fix, you need to uninstall Ps CC 2014 (15.0) [you don't have to remove preferences when asked], and then reinstall.
    Sorry for the hassle.
    regards,

  • Difference in tones from Lightroom to Photoshop 2014

    What I see in my develop module differs significantly then what is exported into PS 2014 for editing. I am using up to date CC software on the latest OS for Mac.

    There is a known issue with Mavericks and LR vs PS since most of a year, now:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1365804?sr=stream&ru=85510
    It is apparently an issue with Apple color-management that Apple has programmed around in their applications while Adobe has not, but perhaps Adobe is waiting for Apple to fix something instead of programming a workaround.

  • Saving PSD files after exporting from Lightroom saves incorrectly

    I've only recently moved to Lightroom from using Photoshop/Bridge together, so I'm not 100% sure how saving files exported from Lightroom should go. But here's what I experience:
    Base edit of file within Lightroom
    In library view, right click on image -> Edit in -> Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
    Perform all my necessary edits and such
    File -> Save As, and save it to another location as a PSD file (totally different HDD)
    Perform more edits....
    Shortcut CTRL+S to save, and it saves it as the TIFF file under the location it was originally in within Lightroom
    Eh...? Am I missing something. It should just save as the original PSD I created when I went "Save As". I have seen on a few occasions, immediately after "Save As", the file name resorts back to TIFF and not as PSD.
    My settings for External Editing in Lightroom are as follows:
    File Format: TIFF
    Color Space: ProPhoto RGB
    Bit Depth: 16 bits/component
    Resolution: 300
    Compression: None
    Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Also, to note, that sometimes I double click on the Smart Object within Photoshop to load Camera Raw and perform some edits, but not often.

    Re Camera Raw being used to pass an image to Photoshop
    a) I am assuming this is independent of the Compatibility level in Preferences\File Handling DNG creation.
    b) Does the same apply to other photo editing software made by Adobe like Elements?.
    Reply: Yes, the principle is the same. Photoshop Elements cannot read raw data either. That's why it has to be converted before it's opened.
    c) Assume that I have LR 5.7.1 and CS5. Is Camera Raw is still used to pass an image to Photoshop? If so, why is there a need to get LR to behave differently?
    Reply: Camera Raw is used IF you choose the option to open anyway. Then Camera Raw will be used to convert the image that's opened in Photoshop. But since it is older than Lightroom some of the new adjustments might not be transferred to Photoshop. That's why there is a need to let the user make the choice.
    d) Sometimes it does seem as if Adobe might be using Camera Raw updates and process version updates to get consumers to change their habits, this includes having to buy subscriptions or having to change workflow to some ideal that somebody at Adobe or working with Adobe might have in mind.
    Reply: The fact is that in the past, when a new version of Photoshop is released then all support and updates cease for the previous version. Since the introduction of the creative cloud, at least users of Photoshop CS6  get support for new cameras. They just don't get the new features. Yes, there's motivation to upgrade. Adobe is a business. What do you really expect?
    Re stacks
    I find impossible to see collapsed stacks on the film strip. Stacks are only visible on the Library module and using a grid view; I don't say clearly visible because they are only recognisable by the label at the top left corner with the image count; I don't even think it is possible to change the colour of that label or the grey colour surrounding an image. Also I cannot name stacks. If I could name stacks, see them as virtual folders underneath a library folder and make them glaringly visible I would use them extensively.
    Reply: The only reason I can think of that you are unable to see collapsed stacks on the filmstrip is if you have the filmstrip reduced in size to the point that Lightroom can't display all the icons. I'm able to see the collapsed stacks in the library grid view and on my filmstrip
    Re storing your Raw files and processed files in separate locations
    Assuming Raw files are negatives and Photoshop files are transparencies or prints, would you want negatives being handled/read on a regular basis? If anything happens to your negatives, you would never be able to produce another print or another transparency again.
    Reply: The raw files or the negatives, as you put it, are never modified by Lightroom. They always remain in their pristine state they were in when they were imported. If I have a backup of that raw file then I can do whatever I want to the one in my working folder. Resetting that raw file so that it looks unaltered is just a click away.
    I have worked extensively with databases and database systems, it is a standard feature of database systems to be able to choose where to store different database objects. I don't see why LR cannot do the same, it is a database after all. I do agree with both the OP and photo.
    Reply: Well, I won't argue that point. If that's what you really want than lobby for it. It just won't get my vote because I don't see any real advantage.
    If you read back through this quoted message you'll find that my replies are included. I don't know how to separate them out so they are highlighted properly. Read through it and think about it. But personally, I don't want to waste anymore time on this discussion because it isn't accomplishing anything in my opinion.

  • Exporting from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop Elements (Both trial version)

    I have downloaded both the trial versions of the software and wanted to experience how they interact with each other.
    I cant seem to be able to export my file from lightroom to photoshop though
    Is this possible with the trial versions?

    Trial version should make no difference.
    One does not "Export to Photoshop" - Export is for one-way output.
    Photoshop, or Elements, or other editor is called in as a partner program via "Edit In..." and the options for this are set up in LR Preferences / External Editing tab.
    If Elements is not automatically appearing there, and you don't want to re-install anything in order to resolve that, you can instead manually set that up in the "additional editor" section below. Choose the Elements editor program file, a filetype and colourspace and bitdepth, and name this setup as an external editing preset. This preset then appears in the Edit In.. section of the context menu when you right-click on a photo in LR. A new file is made on disk according to your specifications, in the same folder, reflecting your LR adjustments to date, and Elements is started with this file open for editing. Save and close when finished (not save as). LR now shows a new image version, next to the original you started with, reflecting your external edits. These edits (any layers etc) remain available for further work thereafter via the "edit original" option.
    So you can go back and forward as required between the two programs, always remembering that these two KINDS of adjustment / editing, are physically independent.

  • Color change on exporting from lightroom and saving in Photoshop CS5

    I have been having issues with my pictures with color management.    I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.  I thought over the last 2 years that it was just me.   I have bought a Eizo monitor with a hood, calibrate with a i1display pro, painted my walls gray, updated my strobes from alien bees to elinchrome bxri's.   Updated my sekonic meter to a L 758.   Have done custom white balance with gray card, expodisc, xrite kits.   The problem has been over the years when I work on a picture in lightroom and export it as jpeg or adobe rgb it gets saved to my external hardrive and the colors are really bad !!   You can go back and compare the picture in lightroom to the picture on my iomega external drive and there is a significant difference.   I do some animal photography and I had a dog that had brown fur and when I export it out of lightroom the dogs fur is actually a bright very orange color.  Same thing happens with skin tones.     When I import the photos into lightroom the pictures look ok.       The same thing is happening when I go from lightroom to photoshop the picture color looks good but when I go to File-save as - tiff or jpeg the colors are changing.   It does not matter what color space I am in I have tried them all it is still happening.    If anyone has any insight that would be great.

             Thanks everyone for the help.   I have only been doing photography for about 2 years and the color managment part has been my hardest thing to get right.   My monitor ColorEdge CG243W LCD.   Wide color gamut of 98%.  Has a sensor on front of monitor that detects ambient brightness but this will only work if you are in a custom color mode.  Modes are: custom,  sRGB,DCI,EBU, Cal1.   I use the Cal 1 to be able to use the Colornavigator software that came with the monitor.  You also have to be in custom color mode to be able to manually adjust brightness, contrast, temperature on the monitr itself which I do not use because I use the Cal 1 mode.   I was not sure about the digital input signals.   I am on the DVI-I in which this allows digital signal input and analog signal input.    There is a DVI-D mode that allows only digital input only.    Also did not know if I needed to be concerned about setting the frequency that corresponds to the grahic board in the monitor ?    My bandwith was set to normal and now is on wide.   My digital input is for 1920x1200 resolution.   Appicable signal is Vesa CVT RB.  Frequency is 60 Hz.   Yes I did call Eizo twice last year when I got my monitor and did not get very far.     I have also called and spoke to a color specialist at my lab and told him the problems I have been having and he just told me to leave everything in sRGB.   Well I would like to get the most from my monitor's color gamut and when working on my pictures so that is why I am still determined to get this figured out.  
    I use the i1 Dislpay Pro hardware to calibrate with and the ColorNavigator software.     When calibrating.   I go to create a new target---select enter manually--Gamut ( monitor native--states recommended)--Brightness 100cd---White point (6500k)--set black level (recommemded states mininum 0.2)---gamma 2.20---priority (set automatically to standard, this adjusts gray balance while maintaining the contrast)---then I hit calibrate and it goes through the process.   The results I get are:                                            Target                                               Result
                          Brightness                                        100cd                                              99.9cd

  • Noise/grainy problems with images exported into photoshop cc from lightroom after photoshop & lightroom updates

    I can't figure it out. After updating photoshop from the c6 version to the newer cc, and after also an update to lightroom through my creative cloud app, all photos exported now from lightroom into photoshop are extremely noisy and poor quality. I have adjusting settings I thought to back where I had them, but the images still don't look right.  Can you help me? Slammed with photos to edit for paid gigs! Panicking. These are raw files.

    My interpretation of what the OP’s situation, that they are adjusting noise-reduction and sharpening to their liking in LR, the using Edit In PS (not Exporting despite using that word) into PS and what they see in PS is much nosier than what they saw in LR and are wondering why things look different between LR and PS.
    My guess as to the problem is that they’re adjusting LR-Detail settings (Sharpness and NR) using Fit zoom instead of 1:1 zoom and then viewing the image in PS, perhaps at 1:1 zoom or even at Fit-to-Window zoom in PS, and that LR’s resampling and PS’s resampling of the image for fitting to the screen are a bit different and PS’s looks rougher.
    Unless the OP is comparing LR and PS at 1:1 or 100% zoom, differences are to be expected.

  • Missing filters (in PS) after exporting from lightroom

    I am currently moving my photo editing from a 32-bit WinXP machine to a 64-bit Win7 machine.  For the time being, both computers have CS4 Design Premium and Lightroom 2.5 installed.  All apps on both machines are currently up-to-date.
    The issue, and this ONLY occurs on the 64-bit Win7 machine, is that all of my third party filters disappear when I bring a file from Lightroom into Photoshop.  They aren't greyed-out.  They are not listed. Period.
    I've tossed out the PS preferences and made sure that both the 64-bit ver. of PS and the regular ver. of PS both point to the correct extra plugins folder.
    It has nothing to do with images coming out of Lightroom in @ 16bit because they are exported that way on the XP machine as well.  Filters that can't be run on 16-bit images just appear as greyed-out.
    I can open an image directly in Photoshop and all of the filters are there.  If I export the same image (and it doesn't matter whether I choose "edit in Photoshop" or "Open as a smart object");  if it's coming from Lightroom the filters are gone.
    Does anybody have any ideas why this would occur and, more importantly, how to fix it because this is really crippling productivity?
    Thank you.

    Ahhhh, OK.
    That makes sense and I can verify that by checking whether the filters show up in the 64-bit PS. (They don't).
    So both Bridge and Lightroom open the 64-bit PS app by default.
    Guess I'll have to go check and see if my favorite filters have 64-bit versions.
    Thank you for the answer.

    I'm not sure what you mean - did you mean save an image to 32-bit?
    I don't have a way (that I know of) to control which PS exe. Lightroom sends to image to when I choose to edit in PS.  I'm assuming it's going to the 64-bit app.  But in any case, I don't think it should matter.  I opened both PS exe's and made sure that both pointed to the same plugins folder.
    I posted here because it seemed like a PS issue and I don't know what the policy is around here about cross-posting the same issue to different forums.
