Images saving from Photoshop to Lightroom are saved way lighter

I first work on an image in Lightroom. Then, I sent a copy with LR edits to Photoshop where I continue to work on the image. When I am done editing in Photoshop and Save - the image goes back to LR, but the Photoshop Tiff copy in LR is far lighter than the image that was saved from editing in Photoshop. If I open the PS image from finder it looks fine - it is darker than the same file as seen in LR.

No problem. Waiting for a video rendering and upload to finish ;-)
If it is fixed in another account than it is highly likely that a develop preset or default gets applied to your images. This happens quite easily and has happened to me unknowingly too. Basically you would by accident have hit the Reset button in Develop while the option key was pressed. What you want to do is to go into Preferences->Presets and hit the button that says "Reset all default Develop settings". Then hit reset on your image. If none of that works, you can always trash the Lightroom preferences file. Quit out of Lightroom, go to the Finder. Hit command-Shift-G. Type ~/Library/Preferences/ in the display that you get to reveal the hidden by default preferences folder in your home account. Find the file that is called com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist (you might not see the plist extension on your computer) and drag that to the trash. Now start Lightroom again and your Lightroom should behave as if you just installed it. You might have to point it to your catalog file if it doesn't open with it there but with an empty catalog. File->Open Catalog-> select your main catalog.

  • Jpeg thumbnails too small when saved from Photoshop

    Since moving to Snow Leopard, I notice that the Finder shows jpegs saved from Photoshop quite a bit smaller than jpegs saved using other apps, like Preview or just scanned images. This makes viewing the thumbnails in the Finder harder. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
    I would post a screen grab to show this, but I can't see how to do that here. If anyone knows, please let me know.
    Thanks

    That's because Photoshop creates its own rather smallish icons (by the new standards) for the files. If you remove custom thumbnails and let Finder draw them they'll be scalable all the way up to 512x512. There is a preference from within Photoshop to tell it to NOT create icons. Go to PS prefs, select Saving Files, and turn off Image Previews. The advantage is that the icons can be drawn larger; the disadvantage is that they will appear in Finder more slowly, since instead of simply displaying what is there Finder has to draw the icons. Furthermore, Finder doesn't always draw the icons with the clarity one would expect: sometimes they never do appear as sharp as they ought to be (there are several very lengthy threads discussing this problem, with no real solution), sometimes they slowly appear in all their large glory.
    Oh, and to post a picture, as in my signature, you have to have the image available somewhere online, then add an image tag.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    Hello All.
    I am at a lost with this issue which has only started in the last month or so on two different computers.
    I am unable to print any doucments from Photoshop or Lightroom to any o my printers. All other applications print just fine to all printers. No error messages, the print job just nevers gets to the print drivers. I can print the documents by saving to the desktop and dragging the desktop file to the printer 'print queue' window.
    I have spent the last week searching online for a solution, but can't seem to find one.
    Any assistance grately appreciated.

  • Why are colors faded when saving from Photoshop? And other weird things...

    I'm working on a file that's a CMYK default US Web Coated SWOP v2 file. I've tried saving to tiff and jpg from this file and both save faded versions. See below:
    Here's how it looks in PS:
    And as a jpg:
    And then another very bizarre thing... I saved it as a pdf to see how the colors would look and when viewing it in acrobat pro, I saw this:
    ....this is the same exact file as the other 2... Nothing was changed other than saving as pdf... Now I have 2 questions!
    Thanks for your help and expertise,
    Sarah

    If you're not having you images printed professionally in publications why are you editing in CMYK.  Displays and inkjet devices are RGB devices CMYK images need be converted when used on these devices. If in every step color management is used  and all devices calibrated well  colors should be quit consistent however color management is not always used and colors will be off  when color management is not done.  Photoshop is color managed is photoshop the only software you're using for your images. No Image viewers, no browsers, no document application etc.
    Also when I save the above image you state is a jpeg Its save as an png file with some Display color profile.  You need yo look into color management and what you useing as your color setting in Photoshop and hd.ow progile mismatches are handle.
    In fact all three image are png file Color mode is RGB 8bit  all have a display color profile all are different in sizes and at least one has different content. All are different yet you claim they are the same.

  • I am getting errors upon use of JPG images, saved from Photoshop, in Encore.

    How do I use Photoshop JPG images in Encore without errors?
    When using camera jpg images, saved by Photoshop (either save, or image manipulation like autocolor then save, no other Photoshop options were tested), Encore will either :
    1) generate an image import error: "The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system.  Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem." and be unable to import the image,
    2) Image import stops before completion (Encore stops responding and must be Closed by Windows Task Manager), or
    3) with a number of images imported, upon attempts to create a Slideshow, Slideshow creation will stop while in progress, and Encore does not respond (Encore must be Closed by Windows Task Manager).
    Import and Slideshow creation using untouched camera images is nominal and uneventful.
    Import and Slideshow creation using PhotoShop(64bit) GIF (copy) images is nominal and uneventful.

    The common cause of this issue is still image files where the pixel size is too large. This warranted its own help page, which is now a dead link.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/error-software-used-decode-media.html
    But I assume the pixel size is the same whether you are processing them in Photoshop or not. but the main point is that the underlying problem is not about decoders. Encore encounters a problems dealing with the file and throws the only error it (apparently) has. So you are looking for anything like that: pixel size, changes between rgb and cmyk, extra metadata in files. Maybe even filename oddities (length, special characters).
    I would look in part at what versions you are using and compatibility settings.
    I would save them as png or psd.

  • Lightroom not updating when saved from Photoshop export

    I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 x64, and had to reload both my Lightroom and CS4, and have just run into this issue when I export from Lightroom to Photoshop.  It used to work fine (with my previous installation in XP x64) that when I hit Ctrl+S in Photoshop it would immediately update the view of the file in LR.  This was extremely useful since i run two 24" calibrated LCDs, then I could immediately see in the lR monitor (usually at 50-100% zoom) if I liked my local adjustments (that are always zoomed to 300%+) in Photoshop wihtout having to change zoom level in Photoshop.  Now to get LR to show any Photoshop update after a Ctrl+S, I have to click back into LR and then move forward and backward (I use arrow keys) between images to get LR to update the display.  Any reason this would now be happening, is there some setting in LR to get it to detect the file save and change from Photoshop.
    Any help or ideas appreciated, this is killing my edit time and frustration level!

    I totally forgot about this issue.  You have to actually go set the Photoshop.exe file to be your second editor in LR preferences and then it will complain about PS being already setup, you select 'Use Anyway' and then when you right-click in LR and choose 'Edit In' select the 2ndary Photoshop editor you just setup and it will bring up the dialog about what settings to use for the image and then dump it into PS.  After that as you Ctrl+S in PS it will auto-update the display in LR.
    Self-Solved... hope this helps someone!

  • Saving from Photoshop CS5 (5.5) extended to CS5 is it possible?

    I am not finding this solution. Can anyone help? I have the trial version and created a few psd/psb documents but cannot open them on another machine that is running CS5. I used to be able to save to earlier versions previously from all Photoshop versions I have owned. Was there a change?

    Sigh.  There was a bug in Photoshop 12.0.0 that could cause an error message like that.  If you update your copy of Photoshop to the current version, that problem should go away.
    Beyond that, I don't know of any reason why you would get such a message going from Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.1) to Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) Extended or not -- they're the same program, same binary, etc.
    Really, there is nothing special to do, just save, and it is already compatible -- unless you failed to install an update and are still dealing with bugs that we fixed over a year ago.

  • Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer ejects 3.8 in of a 4X6 paper and prints only 2.2 in of the image printing from Photoshop CS6, I'm sure I set everything correctly - what could I be missing?

    Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
    Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday.  First thing printed was a
    document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK.  Next I fire up
    Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print.  I set it up in the print dialog as
    4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
    manages the color.  I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print.  Now, when
    it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
    on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out.  It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
    matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX.  I have been able to get it to print on the paper
    correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good.  I was on
    the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
    I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
    I want to be able to print from Photoshop.  Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
    problem? Thanks JamesD!

    Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
    My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
    When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
    Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
    It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
    On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
    Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
    One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
    I also checked out this B&W test image:
    http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
    You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
    You can print a series of test images:
    find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
    You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
    There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

  • How do i open from photoshop to lightroom

    I'm editing in photoshop , i now want to open it now in Lightroom , how do I do this ?

    Just save the file, remember the folder location then in lightroom use File>Import. Choose do not move. This will create a link in the database to the image with a thumbnail and storage for the metadata.
    In other words files never open in lightroom, you only see a thumbnail and edit the metadata. Its up to you if you want to save that metadata back to the original file (which I recommend) This is why all edits done in lightroom are non-destructive.

  • From photoshop to Lightroom

    I sometimes export a picture to lightroom from photoshop, to do some editing on the it. When I close the picture, sometimes it works good : it ask me if I want to save the change in the picture, I click yes, and my picture with the editing is back close to the original in Lightroom. Sometimes, as a Jpeg format, which is good, but sometimes as a Tiff format, and don't know why!!! And sometimes, it doesn't work at all. The picture appears as a Psd format, and it want to "save it as" somewhere in my computer and not in lightroom. What do I do wrong?

    STill experiencing the same problem. Edited photos are not showing up in LR until I sync folder. Any other suggestions?

  • Blurring of images imported from photoshop?

    I have latest version of iMovie and OS. When I import images from photoshop, I get blurring of the image and sometimes pixilation. I looks normal in the workspace viewer but when I play the timeline the image deteriorates.

    Thanks for looking at my problem. When I looked carefully at the new name (thanks dj for telling me to do that) I realized that the name had parts of what I had added as a preset and applied in External Editing. What appears to have happened is that my original preset was corrupted and dropped out the part that told it to use the original file name. I have repaired it and now all is well. Thanks for the responses and the help! Much appreciated.

  • Stop Lightroom from forcing "-edit" rename and saving in the same directory when saved from Photoshop

    After opening a file from Lightroom 5 in photoshop, is there a way to disable the function that automatically saves a file back to Lightroom in the same folder, while adding the infuriating "-edit" to the filename? I keep my files in a very tight file structure, with DNGs, PSDs, and JPGs all neatly separated. It drives me batty that when I save a file it saves it in the same directory as the DNG. Why would anyone want this as a feature. STOP IT!
    I know I can simply "Save As" but there has to be a way to turn this off.

    I know you can have Lightroom change the appended "-edit" (via Preferences) to practically anything you'd like but as far as I know, it's all by design. Photoshop/Lightroom will always save a copy and leave your original files alone. To be honest, I'd want all my edits contained to where the original file was as well. As long as they're in the same folder, I'm happy.

  • Saving Files from Photoshop to Lightroom

    In LR 3 when I saved an image after editing in PS, the edited file showed up next to the original RAW file. Now in LR 4, the saved image is placed at the end of the folder. It there a preference somewhere that I can set to tell LR that I want it placed next to the original? I like to see them side-by-side and don't like having to go searching for the edited file.
    Thaanks.

    I don't think so. By sorting them manually (user order), you're effectively over-riding the capture time default , so it wouldn't be logical for it to sort by both at the same time, if you see what I mean. How would LR be able to figure out which files to sort automatically, and which ones to leave alone?
