Is it possible to do an identical Photoshop brush-type edit on a two virtual Lightroom copies?

I cant see how it's possible but I thought I'd ask. I took a promo portrait of a book author that needs to be in color and b&w depending on where it will be used (b&w on the book sleave, color on a flyer, etc). I have a vitual copy for the b&w image which has different contrast settings, otherwise they are identical. Normally I only have one photo to deal with if I need to use Photoshop, and it's aways my last step. This is a little different in that if I dont want to adust the contrast on the edit, I will have to eyeball the same brush strokes both copies, which will never exactly match. Is there any way to do an identical Photoshop "Liquify" edit on both?
Thanks.

Suggestion: when you want to do this, avoid cropping / straightening / changing aspect ratio before you edit in PS. The crop LR uses, is destructive (unless you are using Smart Object).
By leaving that step until afterward, back in LR, the various VCs you may make will all have the entire picture area to work from. A given nondestructive crop can still be Synced or copy-pasted between versions.
In this kind of workflow, PS is being used purely for its effect on the picture content. The presentational aspects are all kept back for LR to do, which keeps most of the same fluidity that you get when working straight from a camera original in LR.

You need to buy PSE13. But you can continue with PSE9 if you download and install the free DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will work with yoir existing software(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

How do I get my videos to all work correctly in Photoshop Album Starter Edition Ver. 3.0?

I have been using version 3.0 for the last 3 years and had no problems with any of my videos playing once they were downloaded from my mobile phone or camera to version 3.0 until August 2007 but now a lot of them say 'The selected file cannot be played'. All the files that don't work are '.AVI' files and the only thing I can see they have in common is that in the file name it says -1x-1 next to the file size and length of the clip, whereas the working files have full numbers i.e. 640*480. I still have a couple of files downloaded after August 2007 that do play but not many. Is there any way I can change the settings or recover these files so they will actually play?

It seems to me that these problematic files may not be .avi files, or are corrupted; it doesn't seem likley that it's a setting in Photoshop Album Starter Edition.
Do any of those files play in Windows Media player? Another possibility could be that these files are sidecar files to your video files; are there similarly-named video files that work fine? If so, then I would suspect that these .avi files are, again, not .avi files, and could be simply text info that goes along with your .avi files, and could be ignored (removed from the catalog).

Imports from Photoshop CS2 after editing

I frequently use Photoshop CS2 to edit my digital photographs; however, I like to use iPhoto to view or otherwise manipulate the images into different albums, slideshows, or uploads to my .mac account. When I open iPhoto to import a photo edited in photoshop, I get an "Unreadable file" error message stating that the requested image is "an unrecognized file type or that the does not contain valid data." I can't get the edited photos added to the iPhoto library.
I've tried importing photos saved in several different formats - jpeg, RAW, TIFF - with no luck.
Is it possible to import an image into iPhoto from Photoshop? If so, what am I doing wrong? thank you.

Kyle:
Also if you set iPhoto to use PS as the editor of choice by going into iPhoto's General preferences and selecting PS in the "Edit photo:" menu. Then when you double click on a thumbnail, PS will open, you can edit the picture and save it. This way the thumbnail will be updated as well.

Question re adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.0

hi
I still work with the old fashioned adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.0. I have had a virgin.net e-mail address for years but have recently changed to hotmail.co.uk.
However when I try and share a photograph from my adobe album it automatically reverts to outlook express. I can't send from there as my hotmail account isnt configured to outlook express therefore how do I send photos using my hotmail account?
Can anyone help please, I am not technically minded
thanks

There seem to be two questions here:
1) is it possible to configure Photoshop Album Starter Edition to send photos via Hotmail?
2) alternatively, how can you configure Outlook Express to manage your Hotmail account?
Since this forum is the Photoshop forum and has nothing to do with Photoshop Album Starter Edition, and since both Photoshop Album Starter Edition and Outlook Express are discontinued programs, you will have to be very lucky to find someone who can help you here.
For 1) you might try asking in the Photoshop Album Starter Edition forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/ps_album_starter?view=discussions. There isn't much traffic there, but you may be lucky.
For 2) you might try searching the Internet for instructions on how to use Outlook Express with Hotmail. I did a simple search on "Outlook Express Hotmail" and found lots of information.
Good luck!

Lr cannot read Catalog .psa (Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2)

Hello,
I use Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 to manage my 12'000 photos (with tags) and I'll move to Lightroom. But I cannot import the catalog .psa into Lr2.3.
Lr can read only catalog .lrcat, .lrdb, and .aglib !
I renamed catalog .psa to catalog .aglib etc. but nothing happenend.
My idea, I will :
1. Install PSE 7,
2. read catalog .psa (is it possible?)
3. export into catalog .lrcat, .lrdb, or .aglib (is it possible?)
4.then import with Lr with all the tags
Is there someting easyer to do ?
My brain is boiling :-\
Thank you
Tennistin

PSE7 should be able to convert your catalog. I don't really know, as I haven't tried and haven't read about converting PSA Starter Edition catalogs, but I am optimistic.
The problem is that the current version of Lightroom will not read PSE7 catalogs. Probably when Lightroom 3 comes out, it will read PSE7 catalogs. So, I would search the Internet to see if the trial version of PSE6 or PSE5 is available somewhere for download. If you can find one of those versions, they will convert your PSA catalog as well. Lightroom definitely does convert PSE5 and PSE6 catalogs.

Captions using file names? (Photoshop Album Starter Edition)

In Photoshop Album Starter Edition, is it possible to create a slideshow and use the file name (i.e. "Red Sails in the Sunset.jpg")as a caption that is viewed within the slide show segments? If not, is there another Adobe product, possibly Elements, that can do this? Thanks, Van.

Somewhat related:
I have used tags to organize my photos, but it seems this will be lost if I ever move to another program (e.g. Picaca - though Adobe was able to import one Picasa tag). My questions:
1. How can I permanently associate tag-type info with my photos?
2. Can I use a simple or batch method to use my filenames (which have a lot of info) as captions?

Transfer tags from Photoshop Album Starter Edition to other Photoshop products?

Here's a scenario for you, which might require some expert advise:
We have a database (on a network server) with ~6000 pictures which are extensively tagged using Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 installed on a client PC. The client PC had to be swapped out, so I installed a new PC with Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, and moved the tag database (....\All Users\bla bla bla) from the old to the new PC. Now, when I start Photoshop Album Starter Edition, I can see that the software has found my images and tags, but the software displays a pop-up asking for an unlock-code, and I cannot get past this popup. When registering using the form in the popup, I receive an email from Adobe saying that the product is discontinued and cannot be used anymore. I have Googled like a maniac to find unlock codes, but when entering such codes in the unlock code window, the "unlock"-button stays disabled, so I am not able to start the software to access our image- and tags database.
So I wonder:
1) Is it possible to unlock the software and continue using it?
2) Does any other version/variant of Adobe Photoshop allow import of the tags database from Photoshop Album Starter Edition?
Looking forward to your clever ideas on this one.
With kind regards
/Nils

Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it

Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it, so the printing goes directly from Lightroom to the printer.

MartyOretsky wrote:
Let me try again. I am in Lightroom and click print. Then I am launched to PS.
This is not possible.
What you are seeing is not PS, it's your printer dialog. PS does not have an ICM button.
And you say: " Lightroom doesn't stop working; rather CS5 stops working"
And what does the error message say that you posted in the screen shot? Does it not say "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working" ?
Do not be confused. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the official name of Lightroom. This is not CS5 that has stopped working. CS5 does not come on when you hit the print button in Lr.
It is Lr that has stopped working.
And you say: "My next step is to click on ICM so the color controls are done by the software."
This is wrong. When you want Lr to do the color management, you select a profile in the Print Module, in the <Print Job> panel under Color Management / Profile.
In the screen shot below I have selected a profile for my HP printer and paper. And that's where you select a profile for your printer and paper.
You do not click on ICM in your printer dialog. You click there only when you want your printer to manage colors.
So try to print by selecting the profile in the print Module as indicated and do not click on ICM.
By the way: Which OS? Are you on a Mac?

What is the best resource for photoshop brushes I can use commercially?

I have been down a hundred trails of photoshop brush websites where almost all of them don't allow commercial use of the brush, for art that will be "reproduced" into a product .
Most sites claim you can use the brush for commerical use, but they don't allow "reproductions" where I might make money using the brush to make a greeting card. Considering I'm an independent greeting card designer for large companies, that isn't possible.
I'm willing to pay for brushes, I just need ONE place I can go to, where I can purchase brushes withou copyright or permission hassles.
Many brush artists want "name credits" if I use their brush, but how that is possible when I use 20 different brushes on one design is beyond me.
I'm really tired of searching endless websites, only to find out when I download the brush set, there is an attachement from someone that says I must give a name credit if I use the brush. This is completly unrealistic.

Photoshop brush mystery... any clue why this brush misbehaves?

Here's a photoshop brush mystery that I have spent hours trying to figure out... without success.
Maybe someone here can tell me what I'm missing?
I have a brush that I've made up in Photoshop which consists of horizontal lines.
This brush misbehaves without rhyme or reason.
Sometimes the brush will paint directional... that is to say the lines will change their orientation from horizontal.
In the past I have had this directional orientation occur when I click on the 'shape dynamics' in the Photoshop brush editing dropdown box.
BUT at other times when I have the exact same brush clicked on 'shape dynamics', the brush will NOT change direction... but always paints only in horizontal mode.
The linked flickr file will help explain this more clearly.
I have made up an example showing the brush with directional changes and fixed only on horizontal.
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4754966391_ebba0c7ecb_b.jpg
WHAT in blazes would be making the brush behave one way one day and a different way the next?
I spent an entire morning clicking and un-clicking every possible combination... and have not arrived at any conclusion.
THANKS for any help!
I'm on OS 10.3.9 running CS 1

Yes, that's it!
I had no idea that extra control even existed... so THANK YOU for the tip!
Now I can get back to happily painting in brushmarks at varied angles again.
I must have had it set at an angle somehow and didn't realize it.... hence the inexplicable difference between the one behavior and the other.
Excellent help!

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

After latest Photoshop CC update, I can no longer edit a raw file in Lightroom 4 as a smart object

I updated PS this morning, since then I am no longer able to edit a file in LIghtroom 4 as a smart object in Photoshop CC. Photoshop will open, but after some time passes, Lightroom 4 gives an error that Photoshop cannot be launched. If I choose "edit in photoshop" from lightroom, instead of "edit as smart object", the file opens fine.
Thanks for your time!

Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode?

Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode? Grab a drink and let me tell you my story.
I purchased two computers... an iMac 27" i7 3.4 16GB RAM and a Mac mini 2.3 i5 8 GB RAM. Both have Thunderbolt capability and are in fact connected by thunderbolt. I have 3 problems...
1. My Mac mini WILL NOT recognize any bluetooth keyboard. Let me back up for clarification. I set my iMac up first. No problems there. I then went on to set up my mac mini. A couple of interesting things happened concering bluetooth activity. First thing is that the keypad, which was already paired with my iMac wouldn't be recognized by the mac mini, and yet my bluetooth mouse which was paired with my iMac became paired with my mac mini and thus wouldn't be recognized by my iMac anymore. I had to go to my back room and dig out my other bluetooth mouse so that my iMac would at least recognize my second mouse. So now I have two "mice"presently. One for the mac mini, the other for the iMac. Thankfully I also had a USB keypad for my mac mini. My bluetooth keypad is still paired with my iMac but won't pair with my mac mini, which brings me to another question....
2. CAN 1 KEYPAD AND 1 MOUSE PAIR WITH TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS SO THAT WHEN I GO INTO TARGET MODE VIA THUNDERBOLT I CAN USE THE SAME KEYPAD AND MOUSE FOR BOTH COMPUTERS? Anybody have some thoughts on that problem?
3. WHY IN THE WORLD IS MY MOUSE CURSOR DISAPPEARING EVERYTIME I EXIT TARGET MODE VIA PASSWORD AND COMMAND F2. I'm using target mode to access my mac mini. But when I exit target mode to get back into my iMac I'm looking at my iMac screen but I can't see the mouse pointer! I can move the pointer around even though I can't see it. Wierd. And this has apparently been going on for some time with other users for over a year. I am presently completely up to date on Lion updates. Both systems are running 10.7.4. Does anyone have a solution or heard a rumor of a solution coming soon regarding the invisible mouse cursor "curse". I hate having to restart my iMac everytime I exit out of target mode just so I can get my mouse cursor visible again.
Food for thought.... Wouldn't it be really cool to have a target mode capability to see your other computers desktops in seperate window screens on your main display. You then could go back and forth from each window by just double clicking or by certain key commands. You could drag and drop from desktop to desktop. Tell me this is coming soon.
Thanks
