How to not create Lightroom duplicate when editing in Photoshop

When I choose to Edit in Photoshop from within Lightroom 3, the edited copy is added to Lightroom. This might sometimes be useful, but I want to choose whether or not the edited copy is added to lightroom.
How can I make this choice?
David

That's not my experience - maybe I've got some setting wrong somewhere.
I have two categories of images in Lightroom: DNG files originating from digital camera Raw files, and files which are PSD that were scanned from old photos.
Opening the DNG files in Photoshop then selecting "Save As" does not make the duplicate in Lightroom PROVIDED I have "As a copy" checked. But then the copy is not the file that's currently open so I have go find the copy and open it to do any work on it.
Opening PSD files from Lightroom in Photoshop, the duplicate is created immediately the file opens in Photoshop unless I select the "Edit original" option. But even then, if I subsequently use Save As within Photoshop, the copy appears in Lightroom.
My version of Lighrtoom is 3.4.1
My version of Photoshop is CS5.1
I'm on a Mac running Snow Leopard

Lightroom 5 does not export my adjustments when editing in Photoshop 6, although I have selected "edit a copy w/ LR adjustments"

I am a Mac user and I started to experience that my Lightroom 5 would no longer send the adjustments I have made to photoshop 6 even though I have selected the option for it do to so. I have searched online to fix this issue with no luck, I tried deleting the com.adobe.photoshop.plist and it did not resolve the issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

(Sometimes I have answers, but usually only more questions.)
Are other adjustments coming across--for example if you max out the Exposure sliders does the TIF end up lighter? You could be editing the original not the LR version.
Are other new adjustments for LR5/ACR8 coming across--for example Uprights? If you have an image with rectangular architectural features shot at a perspective angle, and you correct them in LR using one of the Uprights (Lens-Correction / Basic) options does Edit In w LR Adjustments include them?
If neither Uprights or Radial Filters are coming across, that would only make sense if you're actually using ACR 8.6 with PS-CS6 (not ACR 7.1) and you're not getting asked any question about with LR Adjustments, and are just assuming you're getting LR adjustments, when instead PS is rendering things using ACR which purposely doesn't allow new LR 5/ACR8-only features.
Another symptom of this situation would be that the filename in PS is the same as it was in LR, not with an -Edit on the end of the filename.
You can force LR to edit a copy if you define Photoshop.exe as an external editor and use Edit in Photoshop.exe instead of Edit in Photoshop.

How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one?

Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.
This is the biggest question, where I mainly want a conclusive answer: How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one of them, using the same photos for editing. I won't use DNG. Details: I mainly use my older MacBook Pro, but would like to be able to use my PC as it's way better (Specs: i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HDs that I could use, one for Backup and one for the actual Photos/Edits. I'll probably need to use it as my internal HDs are quite full, and I can't just delete stuff or move it to an (Developer programs, Lossless music, etc.).
Based on this, how do I back up the whole thing e.g. Photos folder (all photos and edits, and preferably presets too)?

I believe it should be possible to work cross-platform without having to relink files each time, or without having to keep exporting/importing the catalog, by keeping the single catalog and the image library on the one external drive which is then switched between systems as needed.
Obvious first requirement is an external drive that is formatted in such a way (e.g FAT32) that it can be used on both platforms in read/write mode. Given that, if the catalog AND the images parent folder are both established at the same level in one overall parent folder, then it should be possible to take advatage of Lightroom's ability to use relative paths rather than absolute paths to detect the images, no matter if the drive is named (Mac) or lettered (PC). This is how "export as Catalog" works, i.e. it creates a "package", aka a parent folder, containing the catalog and a replica of the exported images folder hierarchy alongside the catalog. Take that "package" to another system (same OS or not) and "it just works" even if the drive letter is different or the OS is different....because the relative path from catalog to images is still the same.
I haven't tested this cross-platform (though I have between different PC systems with different drive letters) so for me it's still just a theory, but there may be others who have done this successfully.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

How do you add a Comment when editing document in Word for ipad?

How do you add a Comment when editing a document in Word for ipad. I've subscribed to Office, so have full editing functions. Can Track changes etc in Review, but can't see how to add a marginal Comment.

Comments, like they are in Numbers for OS X, are not really supported in iOS. Normally, they rely on a mouse-over to read them. Since there is no mouse on the iPad, it stands to reason they are not there.
I believe Eric Ross's comments is more geared towards used said Numbers docs on iWork.com.

When "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom

when "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom
Please help me

Hi mariad91843143,
To enable the non-destructive workflow and the powerful features of Photoshop CC, the RAW image will need to be opened into Photoshop whilst, in the meantime, keeping our Lightroom changes so that we can work on them later. Instead of using the ‘Edit in Adobe Photoshop’ option in Lightroom – CMD +E (Mac) or CTRL +E (PC) – the option ‘Open as Smart Object in Photoshop’ will be used.
This is a very useful tutorial to understand how to manage the workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom Canon Professional Network - Lightroom & Photoshop CC workflow (Pt. 1): Smart Objects ....

How do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image

how do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image from black to red?

Hello there!
Here is one way to create a duplicate image and colorize it. As you can see below, I have one image right now, that I want to duplicate.
My layers panel looks like below.
To duplicate your image, click the downward arrow on the right side of your Layer Panel.
Select Duplicate Layer. This will duplicate the layer that the image is on.
Select "OK" to approve the duplication.
As you can now see in the Layers panel, the image is duplicated. The new layer is now at the top of the Layer panel.
Now to colorize your image, go to Window > Adjustments.
The Adjustments panel will now be opened. Select the Hue and Saturation icon as seen circled in red.
The Hue and Saturation propertied panel will be opened. I selected "Colorize", and adjusted the hue and saturation bar to achieve the level red in my photo.
As you can see below, the image is now red.
Now i want to make sure only ONE of my image layers is red. I moved the Hue and Saturation layer to only be on top of the bottom layer. The image on the top layer now will not be affected by the red.
Select the move tool, so I can now move the image layers so we can see both of them.
With each image layer selected, you can take the move tool and move the images. I moved mine on top of eachother and you can see my red layer (bottom) and the non red layer (top).
I hope that helps. i have also included helpful links.
Please post back with any questions,
Janelle

System should not creates new version when value of PO increased..

Hi Experts,
Need your help to solve this problem. When i increase value of PO it should retrigger Release strategy but it creates version first, then i have to tick completion indicator and check then only release strategy retriggers..
It should not create new version when change po
Please check below screenshot
Please help

Hi
Please reveiw the following points in note
   - 493900 FAQ: Release Strategy
      4. Why is the release strategy not determined?
     "If you use version management, the determination of the release
      strategy starts when the version is completed.
      You complete a version by setting the "version completed"
      indicator in the version tab."
   - 662993 Resetting an already occurred release
     You edit a purchasing document with release strategy.
     You change the quantity or the price. In spite of that, the
     already set release is not reset.
The release strategy works the same with or without version management
active - the only difference in case - version management is active -
is that if release is to be reset, it will be reset only on version
I hope this helsp to clarify this issue
Kind regards,
Lorraine

How do I create a duplicate tab?

I like to comparative shop and sometimes compare two products on the same site.
In internet Explorer I just create a duplicate tab and I'm away, two weindows same site, very few clicks.
How do I create a duplicate tab?

Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the tab to a new spot on your tab bar–you’ll see the little arrow show up, and you can drop the tab there. Once you’ve done so, you’ll see that the tab has been duplicated.
thank you

Auto Label and or Automoving LR files to Subfolder when Editing in Photoshop

LR is great, but after using it for a while i miss a few things very much indeed and other colleagues back me up on this.
It would be great to give the user an option to add a label to a photo when editing in Photoshop or other external application
And also give the user an option to make a standard subfolder for the edited file.
"Example"
I import all raw files into a dated folder ex. 2007-09-20.
Then i rate the files i like and filter them.
Then i do the raw editing and then i finally open them into photoshop CS3.
Here it would be great that the edited file automatically gets a yellow label and/or is put into a subfolder of 2007-09-20. This subfolder i typically would name FINAL.
I know this would be troublesome due to the Stacking feature in LR, which is nice but i don't use it. So my requested features should only be enabled if i choose not to Stack my files.

That's how it goes.

File size wrong when editing in Photoshop

Sometimes when I right click on an image in Lightroom and choose Edit in Photoshop, the resulting file in Photoshop has a size of 72 dpi and usually like around 3" on the long side. The original file is 13 mp so it isn't because the initial file is small. This happens maybe 20% of the time, and I cannot find a pattern to it.
My workaround is to open that image in Bridge, go through ACR and it is then fine in Photoshop.
I am using the Photoshop CS3 beta, but I don't suspect that is the problem.
Anyone else having this issue? Is it something I am inadvertantly doing? Or if it is a known problem is there a fix?

Hmmm. Wonder why these few images would be any different than the ones before/after them? They are all raw files from my 5D, imported by Lightroom from my cf card. And again, I can process the same files I had problems with in Lightroom through Bridge and go into ACR and they are fine that way. Next time it happens, I will email you the CR2 file...thanks. Hopefully you can see something interesting about it!
Is there some place in Lightroom that I can specify what ppi and/or file size to use when I edit in Photoshop? The files (other than these weird ones) are currently coming in at 240 and I'd prefer 300. Just saves me one little step of changing it, but hey every step helps in a workflow!

How can I create an iridescent effect in a Photoshop 3D object? I have searched everywhere for downloadable option for a mac with no luck. I'm working with CS6.

NO way. Such stuff isn't even commonly available in many 3D programs becaus it's actually pretty advanced shader stuff...
