Can't figure out how to open Lightroom 5 (part of PS+LR Plan)

Hello. I am a Lightroom 5 beginner. I purchased the monthly '$9.99 photography' package of Photoshop that includes Lightroom 5. I opened the Adobe Application Manager and downloaded and installed Photoshop CC successfully. Then I went to download Lightroom, installed it, and when I went to click 'open' it didn't do anything. I figured I would just close it out and re open, but when I did that it just said 'up to date'. Where can I go to find this now? Sorry I am new to this, and I'm already not the best with computers! I have a Macbook Pro if that helps. I'm sure it's something simple!

You do open the program in the Aplication Manager. You open them like any other program, the installation should have put a shortcut on your desktop, or look in the program manager or mac equivalent.

How to open NRW-files in Lightroom 4?I

just bought Nikon's Coolpix P7800. It says you can shoot in Raw. Now I want to open these files in LR, just like I'm used to with my SLR's. But Nikon uses the NRW-format for Raw and LR says it doesn't recognise the files. Does someone know if there's a way to convert and work with these files in LR 4?

Thanks Jim for your response,
I will upgrade to 5.3

created by JimHess in Photoshop Lightroom - View the full discussionThe only way to use those files with Lightroom 4 is to convert them to DNG using DNG converter 8.3 or higher. The camera wasn't supported in Lightroom until version 5.3.

Gracias photo-enthusiast por tu respuesta pero hay docenas de de usuarios que tienen esta mismo problema, me da la sensación que nos tomas por gagas que no tenemos ni idea de lo que tenemos entre manos.
Me alegro enormemente que no hayas tenido tu este problema.

How to find-" Lightroom-opening Catalog: DSC00155.jpeg.ircat" Where is it?

I have downloaded Lightroom When I try to start the software it shows. -" Lightroom-opening Catalog: DSC0024 JPG.Ircat " Then a windows Window opens and said "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-Bit has stoped working A problem caused this program to stop working correctly Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." ANY Help ??? I cannot start the software.

Did you ever successfully open Lightroom by double-clicking on the Lightroom icon? If so, we can probably advise you what to do next.
Are you trying to open a file (DSC0024.JPG) into Lightroom via right-clicking on the file in your operating system, and selecting some command to try to open into LR? This won't work at all, you can't open JPG (or other image) files that way. Or did you try to associate JPG files with Lightroom, then try to double-click on it and open it? That won't work either. If that's what you did, please let us know, we can advise you on what to do next.
Or, if you did something else, please let us know what you did.

Upgraded to 5.4 when opening lightroom get a message "encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and need to quite" tried this several time but get the same eror message

Upgraded to 5.4 when opening lightroom get a message "encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and need to quite" tried this several time but get the same error message. Says Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches but that is not happening. How do it fix this?

Delete the preview cache using your operating system. It is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the Lightroom catalog, which ends with .LRCAT

Can I open Lightroom without upgrading my catalog?

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do a screen capture, so I'll try to type what I'm seeing.
When I click on the LIghtroom icon, I get a message box that says "Please upgrade the catalog file "Lightroom Catalog 3" for use with Lightroom 3. It continues "Lightroom will create a new catalog file in the destination indicated below. The previews will also be moved to the location and converted for use in Lightroom 3" Upgrade destination C:/Documents and Settings/...../Lightroom 3 Catalog-7.lrcat
There is a button to choose a different catalog, upgrade or exit.
When I open the button to change catalogs, it gives me one option, but when I click on it, I go back to the "Lightroom will create a new catalog"
My concern with upgrading is that I've a workflow for the catalog that's at C:/Documents and Settings/..../Lightroom 3 Catalog-5.lrcat Earlier today, I clicked on the dialog that resulted in a catalog at Lightroom Catalog-6.lrcat, but when I opened it, I'd lost all the listings for the Free Agent drive (usually G:/ where I do my daily uploads. I could still see the external hard drive (E:) where I save edited work, but it indicated that I would have to locate all of the folders I'd created on the E: drive. I saw only the default collections on the left hand side -- (smart collections, last month, etc.).
I finally was able to get back to Lightroom 3 Catalog-5, which had all the work, but I'm not sure how to recover all my collections and folders if I Lightroom creates a new catalog at a destination that has a different number. The problem is that now I can't seem to open Lightroom 3 at all -- when I click on Change, I don't see my catalog 5 in the default folder. I know I found it once before, and it became an option on the pulldown menu. But I don't want to have to keep finding it on the drive where I store it so I can keep my indexing and folder and catalog organization.
Lightroom 3 Catalog 5.lrcat works fine for me. My default for backing up is whenever I close the program, so I'm confident in it's integrity. How can I open Lightroom with the catalog that works for me --without getting messages that seem to force me to do an upgrade I don't want to do.
Thanks for your help!

I've been using Lightroom 3 for about a year. Right now I'm going
back to the folder with my backups and opening Lightroom 3 Catalog-5. I
think I've tried to reconstruct my left side panel with earlier
Lightroom 3 Catalog x versions. I don't have all the collections and
folders I had with my Lightroom 2 catalog. That catalog seemed to
have been corrupt when I moved to Lightroom 3. I don't recall how I did
it, but I guess I imported the photos and tried to start over with my
collections.

How to open a cr2 file in photoshop

how to open a cr2 file in photoshop if I do not have Lightroom?

Photoshop menu File>Open select the CR2 file. If you have a resent canon you may need CS6 or newer only they support ACR 8.6 beta with RAW support for the latest cameras. If you have an older version of Photoshop you may need to create Adobe DNG file for you CS2 file using Adobe DNG converter and process the DNG files with you Photoshop versions older ACR support.

How to open jpg, tiff files in camera raw from elements 10 organizer

How to open JPG, TIFF files in camera raw from Elements 10 organizer.

Thanks for that Damead, I agree with you that Organiser is real pain (there is a total lack of intuitiveness if that is the correct word).
For my own work I use 'Lightroom' for around 90% of the time, only going into PSE10 for the 10% difficult bits the Lightroom can't handle.
I only needed to sort out the JPEG file opening method within PSE10 for some freinds in a small Photo Group that I run in Woodhall Spa, UK. 50% of the 12 members are beginners & a number of them do not have Raw capability on their Camera's, but now they can get their JPEG's into Camera Raw within PSE10 they have the same simple tabular form of adjustment sliders (not as many as in Lightroom of cause) but it gets over the labourious problem of going thru the PSE10's individual tool selection process each and every time since we are trying to get everyone in the Group working with individual Tools rather than the 'Auto' functions. We do this so that they learn what they are doing rather than staying 'dumb&happy' within Auto all the time & they also learn how to get more detailed control for each photo.
Ref. your comments on file handling/usage, I agree with your comments. Its far and away much more preferable to set up a file structure in 'Finder" (or in 'Explorer' if still using Windows) that you understand so you always know how to find the files. Also, I also never ever use the Camera Auto Load programme but physically 'drag & drop' photo files direct from the 'card' into the file system so I always know thier place (ie: they go into the location I want, not that which the Auto Loader wants).
As regards your comment about 'Lightroom', I don't have any problems at all since I just imported the whole of my photo file structure into the Lightroom Library Catalouge and then it automatically shows up on the LHS of the screen, still in that format, so you can search it direct within Lightroom and display all of the photo's in variuos arrangements and sizes; everything is as easy to find as it is in 'Finder' plus of cause you have all the 'Tagging' possibilities to use as well. As you add more new files into the 'Finder' structure, all you need to do in Lightroom is reimport, starting 1 level up from the new files and Lightroom will find the new files that need loading (ignoring the older ones already in the Library at that or lower levels) then 1 click and its done.
Your comments about getting others to follow a set file structure is very pertinant and also applies to evrything else that one ever does apart from just photo work; the times I have had to help others find info/files etc on their PC's because they don' know the location of anything is too many to contemplate.

How to open your Photoshop Touch project file in Photoshop

How to open your Photoshop Touch project file in Photoshop
When your files are stored in the Creative Cloud, you can access them on your mobile device using Adobe Photoshop Touch, or on your desktop computer using Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop Touch can open files in the following formats: PSD*, PSDX, PNG, JPG, and GIF. And, with a free plug-in for Photoshop CS5, CS5.1, and CS6 you can open the PSDX files created by Photoshop Touch in Photoshop.
[Note: PSD files can only be opened via the Adobe Creative Cloud. The file is converted, layers are flattened to a single layer, and other info that is only supported in Photoshop is removed.]
Download the plug-in (if you have CS6, skip this section)
1. If you have CS5 and CS5.1, you are required to download a plug-in to be able to open your PSDX files in Photoshop. If you have CS6, you are not required to download the plug-in (it is native within the version). In a browser on your desktop computer, navigate to the Creative Cloud Homepage ( https://creative.adobe.com ). Sign-in to Creative Cloud using your Adobe ID, then navigate to the Creative Cloud Apps & Services page (https://creative.adobe.com/apps).
2. Click download under “Touch App Plug-ins” to start the download and install process. Included with the installer is a plug-in for Illustrator CS6, which enables opening of Ideas files (.idea) in Illustrator, and a plug-in for Photoshop CS5 and 5.1, which enables opening of Photoshop Touch files (.psdx) in Photoshop.
3. You will be asked (if you haven't already) to install the Adobe Application Manager. Follow the steps to install the manager, and the Touch App Plugin should begin the download and installation process. If it does not, click install next to the “Touch App Plugins” icon in the Adobe Application Manager to start the process.
4. You're all set to start opening your PS Touch files in Photoshop CS6.
To save a Photoshop Touch file for upload to the cloud.
1. Launch Photoshop Touch and ensure that you are in the organizer view. (Tap Done in the upper-left corner of the screen to move from edit view to the organizer view.)
2. Tap to display the share menu.
3. Select the file(s) to upload
4. Select the file format to upload to the cloud. Then tap OK.
5. Once you save the file format, you have a choice to e-mail the file as a attachment, or save a copy. By pressing cancel, it still can be uploaded to the cloud.

Open a Photoshop Touch file in Photoshop
1. On your desktop computer, launch a browser and navigate to the Creative Cloud website. When you are signed in, navigate to your Photoshop Touch file. Click to select the file.
2. Tap the download button in the top right corner.
3. When the download dialog button pops up, select PSD. Once the file has been downloaded, you can open in Photoshop (CS5, CS5.1, CS6) on your desktop.
4. When the file is opened in Photoshop, it displays its layers (Note: that if the file is dragged and dropped, and NOT downloaded, it will not display the layers).

Lightroom 5.3 should be able to open D600 RAW photos.
The problem is most likely that you used some version of Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer. This interferes with Lightroom's ability to read the files. If the files are still on your camera card, use Lightroom to directly access them from the camera card. If they are not on your camera card, you can still fix the files, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6181267#6181267

Need step by step instructions on how to get Lightroom to run in Windows

First I downloaded Lightroom successfully using newest version of Creative Cloud. It would not run. Literally, nothing happens.
Then I found some info online that says when Lightroom CC doesn't run, you must uninstall it and download it from the Adobe website instead of using Creative Cloud.
When I try to download it in either Firefox or Chrome, I get this error message "Firefox/Chrome doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (aam) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."
After a lot of searching around, I discovered that I needed to download the Adobe Application Manger. I did so but it calls itself the Adobe Update Management Tool. Very confusing.
Then I went back to the Adobe website and tried to download Lightroom again and got the same error message.
Next, I ran the Adobe Update Management Tool and clicked on Get and Install Online Updates which seemed to be the only relevant choice. In the dropdown box under Select Product Type, there are many Adobe programs listed but Lightroom isn't one of them. I gave up on trying to download Lightroom directly from the Adobe website.
I then re-downloaded Lightroom successfully using Creative Cloud. It still would not run.
Next I found some info online that says you have to go into Appdata > Adobe > Local and rename the OOBE file to OOBE.old, so I did that. Lightroom still would not run. I rebooted. This time when I tried to run Lightroom, I got the screen where you have to accept Adobe's terms and conditions. I did so. Lightroom but still would not run.
Is there anyone who has been through this and knows exactly what steps in what order I need to take to get Lightroom to run? I have Photoshop CC and it runs without any problems.

You might reboot and try the other Solution #1/2 items, again. Since you did so much hacking which may not have been related to the issue, there may be something else not right because of it.
You also might try uninstalling and reinstalling LR 5.5 from the cloud, again, or installing the LR 5.5 standalone update from the Adobe updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
You also might try uninstalling your all Adobe software, running the CS Cleaner and installing, again:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
You haven't said what other Adobe software you're running.
Is this the very first time you've tried to run LR on this computer or have you upgraded from previous versions that worked ok?

Is it possible with 5.7 to double click a photo to open Lightroom. Still possible with 5.3.

With Lightroom 5.3 it is possible to open Lightroom by a double click on a photo and to import the file. With 5.4 id didn't work any longer. Is this repaired under 5.7 now?

Flodur wrote:
Not with 5.3! all other compatitors are able to do so.
I can't speak for Adobe. But if Lightroom 5.3 did this it was an oversight. That isn't the way the workflow should run. An efficient Lightroom workflow involves you understanding the catalog, and how utilizing the it is central to effective management of your images in Lightroom. The catalog is a database. Images need to be intentionally added to the catalog and stored in specific folders on your computer. Those folders are chosen by you. By allowing you to double-click on an image to open in Lightroom, that completely destroys any capability to efficiently manage a folder structure.
Lightroom isn't like other programs. It isn't a file browser that simply looks at every image on your computer. You need to intentionally import and place images in an organized fashion so that they can be managed effectively.

How to open old LR collections with .ivc extension?

Hi, I have transferred my photo selections created some years ago in Lightroom from Macbook to a PC. The file extension is .ivc. I have downloaded Lightroom to the PC but my computer claims that there is no program associated with the files. Any ideas on how to open them?

What version of Lightroom are you using that created these files?
I never used Lightroom 1, but I have used Lightroom since Lightroom 2 and it does not create .ivc files, as far as I know. With Lightroom 2 and newer, there is no way to save a collection outside the catalog file.
