I cannot export my changes in Lightroom to Photoshop or iPhoto

Hello,
I have recently acquired Lightroom 1.3 and what a great package. However, I am having a lot of difficulty in exporting my photographs elsewhere.
For example:
I have converted a number of pictures to black and white using the greyscale feature. Additional tonal adjustments were also made. I wanted to put these photographs into iPhoto as an album. The export process was fine, but all the photographs were converted back to their original colour settings. I tried doing the same using Photoshop CS; the result was identical - all my photos had been restored to their original colour.
I have tried some extensive research looking at forums, exploring FAQ's and answers, referencing Adobe for topics to lend assistance, the instruction book, etc. I am utterly dumbfounded. I am sure there must be a simple solution that I have clearly missed. I would be very grateful for any help and advice offering steps to resolve my plight.
For further info:
I have an iMac 2.8GHz Intel Duo Core, 4 GB RAM, OS X 10.5.2. Lightroom 1.3. Photoshop 10.0.1 CS3 Extended. iPhoto 08.
Many thanks in advance for your help

What you have to do is export the files as JPEGs or Tiffs, or whatever you want. That way you will have a copy of the photo with your lightroom changes baked in. Put all those photos into a folder then import that folder into iPhoto. Remember that LR does not change your original RAW files, so if you just export them, you will only see the original images.
Hope this makes sense.

  • Color changes between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

    I have a new monitor and I have the SyderPro4 calbration software.  My monitor is the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM.  When calibrated with the Syder my colors are different when I go into different programs.  The same photo looks different in Lightroom than it does in Photoshop Elements. When I export the picture from Lightroom to Elements the picture becomes very orange. I have already talked to Dell and to Datacolor about my issue and they both are telling me this shouldn't be happening. When I uninstall my calibration software my problem goes away, and the colors of the images stay consistant between the two programs. Does anybody have any advice to what maybe wrong?

    How do you export to Elements? Directly from Lightroom? If so, what profile are you choosing? What resolution are you specifying? I normally use proPhoto RGB which is the profile that LR more or less uses internally and 330.

  • Cannot export video from iPhoto

    cannot export a video taken from an iphone. from iphoto to anything, it saves it as a 0.00 second movie file.
    and yes before you ask i am changing it to original file :/

    The problem is that iPhoto is looking in the wrong place for the file:
    / Volumes/Sagate/Iphoto_Library_2014.photolibrary/Previews/2014....... "
    It should be looking in the Originals folder.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • 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.

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and back question

    When I export a photo from Lightroom into Photoshop, I make my edits, and then I select save.  In Photoshop the photo changes to a psd file as it should.  But when I go back into Lightroom, the photo does not appear in the original folder it was sent from.  It appears in a new folder that I did not create.  When I try to "move" the picture from this new folder back to it's original folder it says that the file already exists in the original folder, but there is NO photoshop edited picture in that original folder - only in the new folder.  I know I must have a setting wrong, but I have searched and searched and I can't figure out what is wrong.   I can't seem to figure out how to get the photos to go from Lightroom into Photoshop back into Lightroom and end up sitting next to the original picture in the folder it came from.!  Any ideas?  I am using Lightroom 5.4 (everything is up to date) and Photoshop CC (latest version).  I have a Macbook Pro computer.

    Sure.  Here are two images.  The first one is of the original picture in it's original folder.  The second one is of the edited picture in the "new" folder that Photoshop/Lightroom created.  I left the photo info on the picture so you can see it.  Any help would be so much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Cannot export from Lightroom 5.6 to jpg, Internal error has occurred, attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

    Hi everybody,
    I run Lightroom 5.6 on Windows 8.1. It's been a while since I exported anything and now I find that I cannot export to JPG.
    I get an internal error, " attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value" .
    I remember that I used to have this situation before (different error) with previous versions. Than it was usually the "perform after export"  that was without value.
    However it is set ti " Do nothing" .
    I've searched the web and found nothing. Anyone got an idea what the cause could be?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    so I found something! I was wondering why the "publish on harddrive" process did work, but the export to harddrive not.
    So I looked in the difference of the presettings and found only the different options "choose export folder" and "predefined export folder" (don't know the exact translations, as I use the german version, but I hope you find what I mean.)
    So I changed in the export settings the export folder to a fix predefined folder and there you are, export is working again!
    Don't know the relation to the GPS-data, but anyhow.
    Hope this helps to solve the problem?
    Don't know if MS windows did an update which causes the error, but I didn't changed anything in lightroom as it worked before without these settings.
    And of course in the long rund I would like to go back to the "choose folder" option, as I know have to copy the images to the right folder after export which is not a smooth process..
    regards

  • Exporting changes in lightroom as permanent physical file

    Is it possible to take the edits made in lightroom and turn it into a permanent physical file? I'm using RAW files in lightroom on a macbook pro, and whenever I edit the files and then export them, all it does is export the originals and (sometimes) the sidecar XMP files (this happening sometimes and not always is a completely different problem that I don't want to get into now). Is there any way to edit, and then export the changes made? I'm trying to edit the photos and then save the edits and send them to clients who do not use lightroom or programs that read sidecar file info. I want the changes made to an actual picture.
    Any thoughts?

    I guess I must have been using the "original" setting. I figured it kept the original file format (canon RAW) and just changed the information, but I understand now about exporting the original file, not just "original" format. What's the next best choice... DNG?

  • Cannot open any of my Lightroom catalogs. "Error occurred when trying to change modules."

    Bought a new 2013 Mac Pro and did a new install of Photoshop and Lightroom. Then physically moved my data drives over from Mac Pro (10.8.6), but LR won’t open any of the existing catalogs on the new computer (10.9.5). Followed steps 1-5 at http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/error-changing-modules-lightroom.html
    Cannot do step #6 (no access to more than one user at a time).
    Please help.

    How and where did you create that small catalog? Sorry for the question, but you do have licensed version of LR 5 and you only use it in your old computer? In other words, you do not have a second copy installed on a laptop, do you?
    If you have a licensed version and have only install it in your old computer and you cannot create a brand new catalog on the SSD with the enclosure disconnected (forget about the catalog already on the SSD drive), it is likely to be the installation. If this the case, try downloading the 5.7.1 and reinstall (Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1). I would recommend to do the reinstall with the enclosure disconnected, after it is done check if you can create a catalog on the local drive, if you ca connect the enclosure.

When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

  • Major problem: I can not export NEF files from Lightroom

    This is just plain weird: I can't export NEF files from Lightroom 2. I can export any other file format, but not NEF. With Lightroom 1 this was no problem.
    It makes no difference whether I choose the export command with my mouse, via the menu or with a key stroke - nothing happens.
    Lightroom version 2.0
    Camera Raw version 4.5.0.175
    Camera Nikon D3
    Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1
    MacOsX version 10.5.4
    I've called Adobe, and they simply don't know. I have reinstalled Lightroom 2 with no succes. Restarting, repairing permissions, nothing helps.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Marsel

    Marsel, your language is confusing, First, you cannot 'export' NEFs to PS. You can send a copy there from within LR as a tif or psd.
    Exporting per se takes place through the Library module under the Export function. When Nef's are exported by choosing 'original' in the export dialogue, the file is the 'original' NEF accompanied by an XMP. That Nef, if opened directly in PS from your file system should appear in the Camera Raw window, where you can make whatever new edits on it you want or change the original adjustments you made in LR. Then, once you open that file in PS from the Camera Raw window, any further work you do will be pixel editing. That work can then be saved in a number of formats, but not as a NEF.
    Transferring files to PS from LR for editing is another matter. That sends a copy of the original NEF, including LR adjustments to PS as either a Tiff or a PSD (your choice via the dropdown). After you have edited that Tiff or PSD in PS and hit save, it will send a copy back to LR as a Tiff or PSD, which will appear next to the original nef.
    These procedures work perfectly on both my windows 32 and 64 bit machines with LR2 and 2.1. with all my NEFs from several camera models.
    When you say 'export' do you really mean sending a copy to PS or do you mean 'Export' as LR defines that term?

  • CRVS2010 Beta - Cannot export report to PDF with unicode characters

    My report has some unicode data (Chinese), it can be previewed properly in the windows form report viewer. However, if I export the report document to PDF file, the unicode characters in exported file are all displayed as a square.
    In the version of Crystal Report 2008 R2, it can export the Chinese characters to PDF when I select a Chinese font in report. But VS2010 beta cannot export the Chinese characters even a Chinese font is selected.

    Barry, what is the specific font you are using?
    The below is a reformatted response from Program Management:
    Using non-Chinese font with Unicode characters (Chinese) the issue is reproducible when using Arial font in Unicode characters field. After changing the Unicode character to Simsun (A Chinese font named 宋体 in report), the problem is solved in Cortez and CR both.

  • InDesign CS3, Cannot Export (greyed out) or Print

    HELP!! I am having trouble Printing and Exporting in InDesign CS3 only(mac osx), I can Export and Print on all other Adobe programs that are installed on my computer.
    I can also still create a PDF through the Adobe PDF presets, but cannot EXPORT or PRINT!!! Under the File Settings, Export is Greyed out, while Print is Black, but nothing happens when clicked.
    Any ideas???... My printer driver is working good as I print to 3 printers at the moment and make pdfs of a regular basis and this has never happened before. It just seemed to happen out of the blue when I turned my computer on one morning. I've been working the long way around for now, but now need it fixed desperately!!!

    The classic question is what were you doing just before this? Programs usually don't stop working for no reason "out of the blue," so most likley something else has changed on your system.

  • Cannot export the framemaker graphic element

    Hi you,
    I need some help for exporting graphics on translation to XML. In general FM exports a changed graphic into a new *.cgm file. This works. Now I'd like to change the format to eps and wrote the read/write rules:
         element "Grafik" { is fm graphic element;
                                   writer anchored frame export to file "$(entity).eps" as "EPSI";}
    When I save the FM document to XML, the message occurs: cannot export the FrameMaker graphic element () into the specified graphic format.
    The XML will be created an also the entity for the graphic, but not the needed graphic file. What is wrong?
    Thanks,
    Stucki78

    Hi Maike,
    the EPS is referenced in FM. In unstructured documents sometimes we added a text frame to the anchored frame, because it was easier for translation and we need only one graphic instead a graphic for each language. Now we want change to structured working in FM to give only one XML to the translator. The text frame then will cause a new graphic, but we still want translate the text inside the graphic. That is why we need EPS or something like this.
    Do you have a better idea for the problem? We discussed the problem and think about leaving the text frame away and using a graphic for each language.
