I'm having problems exporting files for editing from LR 4.3 into photoshop elements 9.

This problem only occurs with files that I have been imported from cd's/dvd's into the libraryand I get the msg "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file for editing. It will not be opened."
Files that are stored on my hard drive have NO PROBLEM in being edited. .
I am new to Lightroom and currently using it on the 30 day trial I have been using PSE for a long time and have over 90,000 images in Organizer and all of my images are on cd's/dvd's, very few are stored on the hard drive.
Thanks in advance for any feedback and suggestions.
Ken

Do you mean they are still on the CD/DVD and you want to export them directly from CD/DVD?
That's not possible since the CD/DVD is not writeable. You have to move the photos to your hard drive first.

  • I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

    i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
    my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
    i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
    i am sure there is a simple way round this?
    thanks guys!

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left? 

  • I am working in LR 5.7. I am having problems moving files and folders from my internal Mac drive to an external drive.

    My process is to drag files or folders from one location to another. Sometimes it works, but it takes a VERY long time. Sometimes it does not work. For example, I tried to move a folder with 329 images. LR processed for 13 hours and moved 58 images; then it stopped and gave the message "…error copying files to the destination you selected. The following files could not be copied." Then it noted the files not copied. Does this look like a LR problem? A hardware problem? Any suggestions on how to fix would be appreciated.

    Jim has a very good suggestion. There are many factors at work here:
    1) How are you connecting the external drive to the computer?
    2) How big are files (329 x 1MB is not the same as 329 x 25MB)?
    3) What is your computer specification?
    4) Do you have any power saving settings on (in particular something that would send the computer/hard drives to sleep)?

  • How do I launch Organizer and Edit from the welcome menu of photoshop Elements 12?

    I've been trying to get Adobe Photoshop Elements software to work on my computer since mid December.  I've had alot of responses to different options, even from Adobe themselves, and nothing is working.
    I get the Welcome Menu screen but when I click on either Organizer or Edit nothing happens.  I am the administrator on my home computer and tried launching as administrator but nothing works.
    I've tried launching it from "Program File" exe but nothing.  When I do this I get this error message; "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
    I've tried a Install Photoshop Elements in a simplified mode, nothing.   I've shut down my firewall and virus program and then install, nothing.
    Looks like I've stooped everyone.  Now I can't even return it because the package is open.
    Is there anyone out in cyber land that has a simple yet brilliant solution for me?
    My computer is a 64-bit Operating System, Intel (R) Core i7 CPU, 869 @ 2.80GHz, Windows 7 Professional.

    If the executable is not being recognized you must have an incomplete or faulty installation.
    I would suggest uninstalling via the control panel (Add/Remove Programs) and then re-install again from a different source. You can use the link below for the free trial (it’s identical) and if you get it correctly installed, simply use your serial number to validate and make the product permanent.
    The link starts with the Adobe Download Assistant. You then browse to the photography programs to select PSE12 to start the download. After the download completes, installation should commence automatically but you may need to double click on Setup to start it off.

  • 'Tis better to pen for edit from .lvproj rather than ClearCase

    I have been told that it is better to open a file for editing from .lvproj than from source control or the directory. Reason being it would help ensure that LabView would know of changes affecting other VIs and also be better able to deal with renames or relocations. 
    So if I open a VI from the project file then double click a subVI within it, will the subVI be afforded the same protections or must it also be opened from the project file?
    thanx,
    jvh
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi jvh,
    I imagine since the subVI is the same instance within the calling VI as is included in the project then it should yield the same result because the SCC affects the entire hierarchy within the project.  I found some resources in the NI Community (here) and the LabVIEW 2009 Help (Configuring Source Control for LabVIEW Projects) that should be a great starting point for further clarification of SCC with LabVIEW.
    I hope this helps!

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

  • Missing export file for  package java/lang

    Hello,
    I have Eclipse with JCOP Tools installed and I have a small Applet which runs fine with Java Card 2.2.1 which is part of the JCOP Tools. I want to try the [Extented Length APDU which is defined in Java Card 2.2.2|http://www.cs.ru.nl/~tews/jcdocs/app-notes-2.2.2/extapdu.html] so I downloaded the developpment kit 2.2.2 from sun which includes the api.jar.
    In my Eclipse project, when I remove the 2.2.1 api jar and add the 2.2.2 instead, I get the following "compilation" error "
    Description     Resource     Path     Location     Type
    missing export file for package java/lang     MyApplet.java     MyApplet/src/com/...     Unknown     com.ibm.bluez.jcop.eclipse.jcopmarker
    Do you have an idea what is the problem ?
    Is it possible to use JCOP Tools with Java Card 2.2.2 ?
    How can I know which VM is running my JavaCard ? If it is 2.2.1 it would actually be useless to develop an Applet using 2.2.2. and on the card ther eis written only JCOP31 V2.2
    Thanks,
    Tex

Where can I get a newer version ? On NXP site there is not much about JCOP :(

  • Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

    hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
    much respect,
    tommy bravo

    After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

  • Problems exporting files

    I'm new to using Flash (I'm using Flash Professional CS5) and am having problems exporting my files.
    While the files will export as .mov files, when I try to play the files they're simply a blank white or black screen.
    Any help or ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

    The most likely reason is that you are attempting to export a muxed mpeg file. QT will not export sound from such files. QT Mpeg Limitations
    This freeware will export to a number of different formats from mpeg with the sound and video intact. Mpeg StreamClip

  • The best way to make proxy files for editing?

    Hi,
    What is the best way to create proxy files for editing? I'm thinking Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy). The original material is DVCPRO HD 1080i50, shot on Panasonic P2 cards, and copied on to hard drives. But as there is about 400 hours of it, I desperately need to find a clever way to make smaller proxy files for editing.
    I would also like to make the proxies at a smaller resolution than 1080i for the editing process.
    I guess it's possible to import the media and then batch export it to the proxy format, but Is there a better way?

    I'm not able to ingest the material directly from the P2-folders as ProRes 422 (Proxy). No matter how much I change the import settings in "Log and transfer", it still ingests as DVCPRO HD 1080i50.
    Correct. DVCPRO HD P2 can only come in as DVCPRO HD. You can't transcode it. AVCIntra P2 is what you can bring in as ProRes. (Sorry Tom).
    I can of course transcode it form there to the proxy format and delete the ingested files,
    Why? Why do that? You have ingested all the files, right? You ALREADY HAVE THEM...right? Why not work with them? You obviously have the room (20TB). Why import all this, then now take the days it would require to make proxies?
    Making the ProRes-proxies directly from the P2-material seems more logical, or isn't it?
    DVCPRO HD P2 cannot come in as anything else, so the offline/online workflow for them doesn't work unless you import it all, then transcode to a smaller format...but then need to keep the originals online to relink to when you are done. If you wanted to do an offline/online, you needed to research this better...or test it...before you shot your hundreds of hours only to find that what you want to do won't work.

  • How to export files for book's

    whats the best way to export files for a book? lets say I want to make an apple book using aperture with 60 pics in it from my son's recent black belt test. do I simply send the 60 best pics to apple in raw/master format and let them figure it out? or do I try to do image editing myself and send them jpegs? if I send them jpegs how do I strip out the Adobe rgb that my Nikon d70 seems to embed so the lab can do the color balancing?
    thanks for any help. great camera. great software. total amateur dad photographer and I really want to get these particular pics right!

    To get the pictures in the Aperture-produced book really looking good, you should plan on printing a test book. Then based on the test book you can adjust your images to add saturation or contrast or whatever you need to get them looking right. Remember, any book you order online is printed by a CMYK printer, which has a specific and kind of limited color space. It's hard to predict what changes will happen in the conversion to CMYK, so the best thing is use the first book printing as a test, not as something you expect to look really great.

  • Open file for edit

    hi
    lets say i am doing a program similiar to autocad
    and i need to open the file for edit in my java program
    the file format is my own custom format, not autocad format
    my question is that does it more sense to create a clone of the copy to edit
    or edit the opened file directly...

    Create a clone. If something goes wrong, the user can always revert to the original file.
    (On the other hand, this may also depend on what you are really doing to "edit the file". I suspect that very fiew user applications actually make changes directly into a source file.)
