Images not opening for edits in Photoshop from Lightroom all software is updated

I am working on a MacBook Pro and today after making basic edits in Lightroom 5.+ the images won't then open in Photoshop to edit there.
Any help would be appreciated
Charles

Geoff, I am using the very latest CC version of Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop v 2014.2.2 running in 64bit mode, on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5. I used it yesterday morning and things worked fine but in the afternoon, I created a new catalog for a project I was working on. The first image everything worked as normal. I mad some basic White Balance corrections, along with contrast adjustments then take the images into Photoshop to remove the backgrounds but going to the menu item Edit in Photosho. If photoshop is down, it opens the software but the images don't transfer into Photoshop to work on. I rebooted Lightroom and Photoshop a couple of times with no effect still the same problem. I rebooted the computer twice and still no changes in the way it was responding. This morning as I begin to write this, I opened Lightroom and now even the catalog is missing along with most of the ones I have created. I did open an old one and it now works as it should so I will try to recreate the project from yesterday but it is now saying that Lightroom can't save to that Hard drive. I will reboot the external hard drive now to see if that will solve that problem. This has happened in the past when using Photoshop when I am trying to save an image but never like this? Most of the time rebooting will solve that kind of issue so I will try that now. Just not sure what might be causing that to happen either?
Thank you for your help,
Charles

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom doesn't work; Automate Photomerge doesn't work

Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom doesn't work.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
Likewise, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... I pick all the images for the PHotomerge and hit "okay," but nothing happens. Makes me think it's Photoshop, not Lightroom, that is all wacky.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and reinstalled. No change. I also tried dumping PS preferences, but that didn't affect a thing, either.

None of my "Edit In" worked with the pictures in Lightroom for a particular folder. I expanded the 2014 folder and found that two subfolders had a "?" in front of the 2014-07-04" and another. In other words, the folder was missing. After I found the missing folders using the Lightroom "Find Missing Folder" option, I was able to use the "Edit In" menu item. The 2014 folders weren't expanded at first, so I didn't see the ? marks in front of them. With the missing folders, Lightroom's "Edit In" option was basically telling me there was no picture to "Edit In." Howerver, I have Previews and Smart Previews made when I import picture files into Lightroom. So, the "pictures" showed in the slide strip on the bottom, and also in the display in "expand," but it was actually only showing the previews I had built, not the actual missing pictures in the missing folders. I had accidentally moved some directories using Windows Explorer, and I didn't realize my "happy fingers" moved them outside of Lightroom. Of course, Lightroom has no way of knowing I moved them, and just shows the "?" before the missing folder name. After expanding the root folder, then knew what to do. Fixed it easily. It was frustrating, and took about 20 minutes to see the problem. And that fixed the greyed-out "Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014, and all the other plug-ins were greyed out too.
Hope this fixes your problem.

Editing in Photoshop from Lightroom

Tried to "edit in" Photoshop from a Lightroom image and the application is not working. It has in the past. What can I do to fix it?

Same issue here. IT opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Issues to edit in Photoshop from Lightroom , why?

HI everyone, In order to edit some images on my new website http://www.monportraitphoto.fr I was getting into my archives that are all in a big Adobe Lightroom catalogue. After choosing the good pictures in my catalogue I tried to make the classical shortcut "edit in Photoshop cc 2014 (yes I've juste made the update and uninstalled the 2013 cc version)"
here is the issue : when I edit a psd file it works but when I edit a raw the screen jumps to the photoshop window but no photo is opening in it. Does anybody know a good way to fix it?
mac os maverick
lightroom 5.5 and photoshop CC 2014

Same issue here. I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1
Lightroom is version 5.7
Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
I can't edit in Photoshop from LR.
I also can't automate>Photomerge. After i elect the images to be merged and hit "okay" to start the process, nothing happens. At all.
Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky.
I tried dumping PS preferences, but that didn't do anything.

TIFF images are displayed as thumbnails but will not open for editing

I have noticed a problem with my iPhoto 7.xx
iPhoto displays the thumbnail of TIFF files but when it is selected (for editing as an example), iPhoto displays a grey circle with a black question mark. This happens with TIFF images from any source (multiple camera, scanner, etc). The TIFF files are NOT in raw format.

Open the file with Preview and do a Save As. Either change the format or keep the tiff. That should fix the files so they can be viewed normally in iPhoto. If the problem is due to an alpha channel in the file this will fix the problem.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't right-click edit in photoshop from lightroom

Using latest versions of lightroom and photoshop. I want to right click an image in light room and select "edit in photoshop" but the selections are all greyed out and will not work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop but this did not fix the problem.
thanks

Hi PJ,
I am searching this forum for the same issue. I am a hobbyist photographer, who used to work on LIghtroom first and then open the same photo from LR to photoshop CC and made few minor adjustment. After installing CC 2014 version, this feature is gone. Photoshop CC is opening and nothing is happening. Again, I have to open the image in photoshop CC manually, which is really annoying. Hope someone from photoshop team is listening.

Edit in photoshop from lightroom 5.5 does'nt work

Hi,
I'm a CC member and I've installed 2014 version of all CC products that I use on my PC (win 7 64bits)
When I use Lightroom, the command "edit in photoshop" doesn't work correctly: photoshop is started but nothing else happens: no photo in photoshop.
I deinstall-reinstall Lightroom with the same result.
This worked fine with the precedent version.
Thanks for your help.

When I edit in photoshop from lightroom it forgets the stars!

I've used lightroom and photoshop together now for a while, nad it is great. But when I updated to lightroom 3 I started having a problem. When I click "edit in photoshop" and later saves the images it no longer "remembers" what star ranking it had in Lightroom. It remembers the rest of the metadata, but not the stars. When I have it open in photoshop and check the "file info" I can see the metadata, but it seems the star rating disappears some where between having the original in lightroom and editing it in photoshop.
What do I do? It's really annoying!

If it retains the stars rating when you save metadata to file before doing the external edit, this would be the confirmation of the bug mentioned by Victoria.

LR4 - Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom 4

When I go 'edit in Photoshop' I'm not getting a dialog box that gives me the options of whether or not to include Lightroom adjustments etc. How do I get that? Can anyone help? At the moment, none of my Lightroom adjustments are carrying across.

Hi - thanks for replying. I've just figured it out. On the initial dialog (render in Lightroom or open anyway) I needed to hit 'render in Lightroom. I've just downloaded the ACR 6.7 Camera RAW which also solves it.

Editing in Photoshop from Lightroom Slow....

My problem is when I export from Lightroom into Photoshop to edit a file compared to opening a file directly from finder. When I export from Lightroom it is super slow compared to opening the file directly. Anyone else having this problem?

What type of file are they?
If you open a raw file from Lr to PS, Lightroom has to render it, if you open a raw file in PS it has to go through ACR which would always take more time. That's why I ask about file type.

Project will not open for Editing from Project Library

Help! I'm a teacher who puts together a 5 minute news show each week. I was almost done last night when imovie crashed. I tried to get into the project library and can see my project with everything done but the titles and sound. I select it and hit the edit button and nothing happens. I double click and nothing happens. In the project file, the project has a turned down right corner. Save me ! This is due first thing in the morning and I still have all the tweaking to do to the sound and titles.
Thanks!

Updated camera raw plug-ins and now photoshop does not recognize ANY files and I can no longer edit in photoshop from lightroom. What happened?

I don't know what happened, but ps6 is no longer working. The window is there, etc., but cannot pull in files to work on. I am on MAC. Help?

I have the same problem. Any solutions?

The option to edit in Photoshop from lightroom is grey out.

I'm on a PC, been editing photos in lightroom. Just downloaded some photoshop presets. Edited some photos using the presets. Now when I go to edit photos using the photos/edit in...all options are greyed out. I've restarted my compute, updated both lightroom and photoshop (I have latest versions) talked online to Adobe support person and did all sorts of "stuff" beyond my level of understanding. Still doesn't work. Sometimes the options are back in black and look like its going to work, but then photoshop doesn't open, and then the options turn to greyed out again. Please help!

I may be preaching to the choir but here are some tips on using PSE from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Filters not available for a file coming from Lightroom

Hi everyone,
And sorry for my poor english
I started to work with Lightroom and Photoshop CS5.5 some weeks ago to improve my pictures and my photographic workflow. Here is my problem :
- I import a RAW picture in Lightroom with DNG conversion, everything is fine in Lightroom.
- I want to edit the picture in Photoshop so I click "Edit in... Photoshop CS5", so that I'm editing a copy in PSD format. Camera RAW works fine.
- Once I'm in Photoshop with my .psd file, some filters (some default filters of Photoshop and also some external plug-ins) are not available (I cannot click on it in the filters menu) while others work like a charm.
Is it normal?
If it is, why?
If it is not, what should I do to get rid of the problem?
Thanks for your attention
<LeToC>

I spent hours to find the answer to this question... and you just made my day!
I tried with a jpeg file as I have not my RAW files with me right now and it seems you're right. I'll try with my RAW files as soon as possible just to check and let you know.
Do you know if these upgrades are planned? 16 bits is quite a good improvement and I like to play with some of the stupid toys like "pixelate" or "texturize"
Anyway, thanks a lot for this !
