Lightroom 2.1 & PSE 5 / batch conversion greyed out

Hi,
I'm running Windows XP Prof and have licensed LR2 and installed RC 2.1 on top of it. In PSE 5 the batch conversion entry in the file menu is now greyed out and even a de-/install of PSE 5 didn't help.
I searched in LR & PSE forum and couldn't find any entry describing the same issue. Now I wonder whether this is really unique to my installation.
Anybody out there who noticed the same and maybe have a recommendation how to fix it?
Regards, HaJo

Have you updated PSE5 to the latest camera raw available for that app - 4.6?

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.

Lightroom 5.4. Edit options are greyed out. I tried reset warnings already.

Hi,
I just added a bigger harddrive and reinstalled Lightroom 5.4.
Now, 2 of 3 edit options are greyed out.
No access to plug-ins or external editors for original files.(NEF's)
I tried reset warnings already.

Yes, Nikon transfer was used. From a D800, But that was a year ago.
It has been working fine.
Before I upgraded to 5.4 I had this problem.
When I upgraded to a larger harddrive and re-installed 5.4 the access was limited to only "Copy with Lightroom adjustments."
Last night it started working, I had full access!
But, today it won't work on the same image/plug-ins.
the NIK Collection for example.
This effecting ALL RAW files! D100, D90, D3100, D7000, D800.
My Laptop is doing it now, too!!!
I installed DNG Converter 8.4 with No Difference. NO RAW EDITS.
I can't send a NEF to DXO Optics Pro 9, or anything else!

I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

After updating from CC to new 2014 updates Lightroom would not go from 'Library' to 'Develop' - develop screen was greyed out showing the message 'Develop module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the Develop module.' Since my membership is fully up to date. I then uninstalled Lightroom 5 and then installed it again. Now when I try to open Lightroom 5 its LOGO flashes onto the screen and then 'crashes' in an instant. Please fix.

Photoshop CS3, wanting to batch re-size JPGs, going: file-scripts-image processor, the batch images are greyed out can't be highlighted

Hi - I am trying to batch re-size JPGs in CS3. I go: file-scripts-image processor and select a batch of JPGs but these are greyed out and can't be highlighted, therefore can't be re-sized. This function worked in the past and suddenly does not. Reading forums on this topic I find I should remove/trash 'Photoshop Preferences'. But I am struggling to find Photoshop Preferences. Really would appreciate simple instructions written for the layman not a computer savvy individual, on how/where to locate these, please. Many thanks.

A few things to try.
1)Since jpg's are finiky with bit modes, make sure your mode is in 8-bits per channel only. (found in the image>mode menu)
2)you could try resetting the preferences by using the 3 modifier keys at startup. ctrl-alt-shift(windows) cmd-opt-shift(mac) Hold these three keys down when you start photoshop if done right when photoshop starts you should get a dialog box asking if you want to reset the preferences)
3)If these do not help specify the version of photoshop, what OS you have and its version. Then someone can tell you the location of the preference files since it is different on windows vs. a mac.

Call Button Greyed Out After A Third Participant Is Added to The Conversation in Office Communicator 2007 R2

Hi there,
I have a problem with the office communicator. I'm able to make a call to one party without any problems. The issue occurs when I add two or more parties into the conversation. The call button will be greyed out and Im unable to make a call.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the OCS but the problem still persists.
Appreciate if anybody could help.

Vinod

Agree with Anthony.<o:p></o:p>

PSE 10 will not edit large picture files after it accepts them. After editing it either changes jpeg to psd or greys out the file. What must I do?

PSE 10 allows large picture files into the organizer and editor but after editing, saving, and closing, the jpeg returns to the organizer either with a psd file extension or as a greyed out broken photo icon . Why does it cause users to waste time editing files that are too large. How do I solve the problem?

Currency Conversion in Update Rule greyed out

Hi All,
I searched this forum for what I thought something would have been reported on, but in the update rule for a key figure there is the option to input currency translation.
The problem is it's greyed out and I cannot input the translation. The screen looks just like the conversion entry you put in the query designer for the key figure.
Why is this field greyed out?
Thanks, Mark.

Hi again,
currency of the source and the target-keyfigure should differ.
create a new KYF as copy of 0AMOUNT with a differing Currency object or with fixed Currenca and call it AMOUNT in <CURRENCY>.
Will work
Cheers

Import command on PSE-13 on Mac greyed out - why?

I recently installed an upgrade from PSE-11 to PSE-13 on my Mac running OS10.9.5 and the Import command under the File pull down menu is greyed out preventing me from inputting images from my scanner.

Hi, I have just upgraded from PSE11 to 13 and like many many people I find the Import / Export menu item is greyed out so I can no longer Import from my scanner which was fine in PSE11 - very frustrating !!! I have of course installed the plugin as advised but this does not work and yes at startup Twain building is apparently being carried out.
As stated in a previous Post one-on-one email support does not exist and Adobe just send a user in a loop of FAQs which never address the issue effectively. We appear to be suffering from Corporate Arrogance just like Apple. If one pays for support then maybe things, that should never have been a problem in the first place, get resolved. Why don't Adobe just remove the item from the menu and put us out of our misery.
I suppose it won't be long before Adobe will want monetise the use of Reader !!

Greyed out screen field in transaction but modifiable by batch input

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where a custom screen field in a transaction (FK01/FK02/XK01/XK02) has to be greyed out when a user access these transactions. However, these fields will have to be modifiable when LSMW/batch input is being done.
I hope someone can advise how I can do this.
I'll definitely reward points for helpful answers.
Thanks so much.
Rgds,
Joyie

Declare on your layout input is 0. Or the field cannot be filled by value.
After you have done that, create some code like this:
Loop at screen.
     IF sy-batch is not initial or sy-binpt is not initial.
            if screen-group1 = 'ANL'
               screen-input = '1'.
            endif.
        endif.
endloop.
Hope it helps solve your problem.

Batch Command in CS5 is greyed out

The Batch Command in CS5 is greyed out. I am running CS5 64 bit with Windows 7 64-bit. Any ideas. It was working and now it does not.

You're talking about the Batch... entry in the File - Automate menu inside Photoshop itself? That's weird, I have never seen that one become disabled.
Do you have any actions at all loaded into your Actions panel?
Have you quit and restarted Photoshop, and does the problem persist?
Failing these things, I think I might suggest clearing all the preferences to defaults. You can do this by pressing and holding Control-Shift-Alt (or Shift-Command-Option on a Mac) immediately upon cold starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough to get the keys down - and you have to be very quick - it will prompt you to delete your current preferences, which will lead to the generation of out-of-box defaults. Clearing preferences quite often restores operation when weird things go wrong. Keep in mind you'll have to re-do all your settings after this operation.

Lightroom " Edit in" menu drop to work on Photoshop is grey out?

Lightroom “ Edit in” menu drop to work on Photoshop is grey out, even though I have my “store preset with this catalog” unchecked. Do I have to reinstall LR?

Your photos are never "in" the catalog. The catalog just points to your images in their folders on your hard drive. Do you understand what smart previews are and how they are supposed to be used? Are your images on an external hard drive that is disconnected from your computer?

All 'edit in' options greyed out in Lightroom 5.6 in combination with PS CC, last night it worked fine, what has happened?

Hi,
Last night the 'edit in' link between Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC on MacOS 10.9.5 was working fine. This morning it is greyed out. Does anyone have a clue what might have happened? I did get a notice to say that my license would expire in 6 days (when I'll renew again), so what gives?
Thanks for considering this, it has flummoxed me.
Robert

Hi robertcoelen,
Please refer: Lightroom doesn't launch or returns "Develop module is disabled" error after 5.5 update
