Lightroom 3.6 to photoshop CS4

I used to use Lightroom 2, a Canon 450D and Photoshop CS4.  i had no problem using Lightroom, Photo/Edit in Photoshop to open and work with my images in photoshop.  i then upgraded to Lightroom 3.6 and now use a Canon 60D camera and still use Photoshop CS4.  When i click Photo/Edit in Photoshop now, Phoshop CS4 opens but the image doesn't appear.  What can i do to rectify this?

OK things have change here. I expect you are working with raw files from your camera.
With LR 2 and PSCS4 the ACR version are in sync i.e. LR uses the equivalent of ACR 5.x and PSCS4 uses ACR 5.x.
Now LR 3.6 has the equivalent of ACR 6.6 and PSCS4 is using ACR 5.x. Since the ACR versions are not in sync you should get a warning dialog indicating that the ACR version needs to be updated in PSCS4 but this is not possible. If you are not seeing a warning dialog you need to do the following in Lightroom 3.6 go to  Edit>Preferences>General Tab> click on "Reset all warning Dialogs". You should now see a warning dialog when you select Edit in PSCS4. You should choose "edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments". This will make Lightroom create a tiff file with your adjustments and send this to CS4. ACR in PSCS4 cannot process the LR 3.6 develop settings.

  • I'm running Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 and can't open or import NEF files from a Nikon D600

    Need help understanding why the NEF files created by my D700 work fine in both Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4, but the same file format created by a Nikon D600 keep getting a unkown error when I try to import or open them.

    You can either upgrade Lightroom or use Adobe's Free DNG Converter to make a backwards-compatible file for LR 2.x to read. New camera support is only effected on current versions of LR and Adobe Camera Raw and your version(s) do not support the D600.

  • Keywording problem in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4

    I'm experiencing a problem with keywording in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4. When i export a batch of photos that were keyworded in LR to the desk top then open a photo in PS I  find only one keyword when I look through the "file info" menu item.  Any ideas on how I might resolve this problem or what I may be doing wrong.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Make sure that you have the keywords setup so that they will export. You can check by right clicking on a keyword in the Keyword List panel and choosing Edit Keyword Tag. The dialog shown below should open and should see a checkmark against Include on Export and Export Containing Keywords. It's fairly easy to get this wrong when working with hierarchical keywords.
    Also, you can configure the Keywording panel so that it shows which keywords will be assigned when image is exported.

  • Dowloaded Lightroom 3.  Now Photoshop CS4 will not open??

    Please help. Can anyone explain why my photoshop program will not open..  I use Photoshop Bridge then double click on an image and Photoshop opens.
    After I downloaded Lightroom 3 which I purchased through an on-line re-seller, I selected some images and imported them into Lightroom.
    I do not understand why Photoshop CS4 does not open.
    can anyone advise me.

    What kind of files anyway?
    What is the format’s »File Type Association« (check under Adobe Bridge CS4 > Prefernces)?

  • Lightroom 3.3 and Photoshop CS4

    I have noticed that on my Mac that I see a slight color shift now that I have transformed images from NEF files to   DNG files in Lightroom 3.3. When  managing a photofile, in Lightroom then editing further in Photoshop CS4 and then sending to print (Epson 3880) I see some change in color from the Color preview to the final print. Any suggestions? Prior to adding Lightroom 3.3 to my workflow this was not an issue. 

    PS CS 4 uses an earlier version of ACR to render files than is used by LR (no process 2010, no lens profiles, none of the new noise reduction). You can open the RAW files into PS CS 4 using ACR in the usual way, rather than using LR, as long as the RAW file is recognised by the version of ACR you have. The advantage you have by opening and rendering using LR 3 is that the process 2010 is now available as the file is rendered by LR. If you want to use files rendered as process 2010 directly in ACR you will have to upgrade to CS 5.
    Either way you loose nothing my rendering in LR, irrespective of which version of PS you use. The only difference between rendering to CS 4 from CS 5 is that the new file issaved immediately rather than on save. CS 5 allows you to not save and have no new file. You always require a rendered file for use in PS as it does not directly edit RAW formats.

  • Canon Pixma Pro 9000 printer will not print for Lightroom 2.3 or Photoshop CS4

    When I hit the print button on either Lightroom or Photoshop CS4 to print using the "front tray", the printer sends a message to lower the tray for the back tray.  The Canon tech rep stated that when I  hit the Print button on Lightroom or Photoshop there should be "drop down window" which allows me to choose the "front tray".  Until I do this, the printer assumes that I am still using the back tray.  My question - why doesn't my Lightroom or Photoshop programs display this "drop down window" when I press the "print" button??  Please!! Can anyone help me??

    After so many attempts, I don't remember what the display was when I first requested for help.  I just trying everything that I
    could think of.
    I don't think that I downloaded the right Driver the first time.  As a last resort, I downloaded the Driver again from Canon and to my surprise, another menu appeared.  It was different from the previous ones and rather confusing.  The Canon tech had described what I should bd looking for and so I proceeded ahead one drop menu after another and finally the right menu appeared giving me the choice between the automatic back tray and the front tray.  After I clicked on the front tray, everything worked fine.
    Thanks, Was DYP, for taking time to attempt to help me.  It's my opinion that Canon's documentation was not complete and therefore created some confusion.

  • Edit in adobe photoshop cs4 not working

    Hi there!
    I have Lightroom 2.3 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed.
    The "edit in adobe photoshop cs4" function is not working for my RAW files (DNG). When I select "edit in adobe photoshop cs4", Photoshop is started up, but it doesn't load anything. It is working for other formats like JPG/TIF/PSD, as an -EDIT version though.
    Anyone any idea? Thanks in advance!

    Normally, when this happens it's because the version of Camera Raw installed with Photoshop doesn't support your camera. You haven't mentioned which camera you are using, but it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version of Camera Raw (currently 5.3, but there's a release candidate of 5.4 available from http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4

  • Lightroom lost connection to PhotoShop

    Hi,
    I did some cleaning work on my computer and deleted some temporary files - part of them files which many programs used in installation phase.
    As a result LightRoom doesn't recognize PhotoShop CS4 and ctrl+E doesn't open the picture in PS.
    When I go, in Library mode, to Photo -> Edit in all options are grey.
    I found nothing in the preference which can fix this problem.
    What can I do?
    Please help,
    Utzly

    Did you also do a Registry Clean? If so, reinstall Photoshop. In fact you might well have to do that in any case.

  • Using Lightroom 5 with Photoshop CS4

    Hi folks. New Here. I am a novice convert to digital photography and I have browsed the discussions concerning Lightroom and Elements in the main.
    Is there any need to buy Lightroom 5 to deal with cataloguing and searching imported RAW images with Photoshop CS4, as Photoshop Bridge 4 comes with Photoshop CS4? What is a good strategy for dealing with libraries of images? I have the chance to aquire inexpensive versions of LR 5 and P CS4.
    For your information - I am using a MacBook Pro with a quad core i7 processor, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Flash drive and my camera is a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks 99jon,
    I appreciate the careful and easy to understand reply, Jon99. Versions of P higher than CS4 are prohibitively expensive for me at this stage. If I get on with digital photography then I might look at the PCS and L CC subscription option in the future.
    I went ahead I aquired my bargain basement version of P CS4 and like it so far, but I held back on LR5 until I had a clearer view of what it enables me to do and thanks for the information.
    Do you or anyone know if I can sell my version of P CS4 when if I decide to move up to the Cloud solution? Flicking through another Pogue-style book seems to suggest that the latest versions of P CS and L are the current state-of-the-art. Is there a simple list of what users of this option consider to be the main, *essential* improvements of the latest versions of these two pieces of software that possibly make it a must-purchase. I am not after an exhaustive list, but just the main improvements that may make this an essential purchase after I cut my teeth with P CS4.
    I am a real novice and have included the specs of my camera and MacBook Pro in my previous post for anybodies info in order to help me.
    Many thanks,
    David

  • I had lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS4 I downloaded cc and trialled it and then uninstalled since then I cannot read/open my Canon cr2 files and

    I trialled cc Photoshop.
    I had Photoshop CS4
    and lightroom 4.4.
    I used LR4 and cc as well as CS4 during that time
    BUT
    when I uninstalled cc
    after initial work in LR4
    I try to open it in PS4
    it no longer recognise my Cr2 (Canon Mark 111 tif files)
    (which it had no problem with previously.
    When I try to go from LR$ to PSCS4
    it now tell me
    this version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 7.4 for full compatibility.
    Please update the Camera Raw plug in using the update tool in the Photoshop help menu.
    Ihave downloaded this off the net but it does not seem to solve the issue
    HELP!!!

    G'day Curt,
    I smacked myself on the forehead when I read your reply. How could I have forgotten to do that? However, after trying that, the problem persists and more files are corrupting. I now have around ten files of around 200 in a party folder I have that have corrupted. They all were perfect several days ago.
    I'm starting to get worried as I work for the local rag and have social pics this weekend to process. I can't afford to let this happen to them.
    Thanks for the suggestion....

  • 64 bit Lightroom 2.5 work well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4?

    Anyone know if 64 bit Lightroom 2.5 works well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4?  Any problems or conflicts?  Or should I stick to 32 bit Lightroom 2.5?

    It works fine, but the default will be to use the 64bit version of CS4 (which is also installed along with the 32bit version).
    If you want to use the 32bit version of CS4 the easiest way is to open the 32bit CS4 before sending files from LR. I only have a few plugins that don't have 64bit versions, so I mostly use the 64 bit version of CS4, but occasionally I do use the 32bit version and that's how I do it.

  • Lightroom quits when Photoshop CS4 is open at the same time

    When I have Lightroom open at the same time as Photoshop CS4 I get the message Lightroom has encountered a problem and has to shut down. I am running the latest version of Lightroom using a PC with XP professional 64 bit. Also occasionally Lightroom reverts back to an old catalogue. Does anyone else have these problems?

    Just FYI, Lightroom is not supported on XP 64 bit. This might be one of the reasons why. You might need Vista or 7. I do know many people still run it on XP 64 though.

  • I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. Plug-in camera raw is missing

    I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. a plug-in camera raw  xx is missing. Advice to update does not work. There is no plug-in in the map photoshop plug-ins.

    This is expected. CS4 will never be able to open files from a current version of LR and a modern camera.

  • Can't open RAW file when moved from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4

    I have a Canon 6D and recently purchased Lightroom 4.4 so that I could open my Canon RAW files. They do open in Lightroom, but when I move them to PHotoshop CS4 I can't open the files. I get a message telling me I can't open them. Any suggestions?

    I don't know Macs so can't give you advice if CS6 will run on your Mac.
    But since you have Lr5 you won't need to open Raw images in Photoshop. Lr5 gives you all the Raw editing capabilities that you need. I don't think CS6 will add anything to Raw editing capabilities that Lr5 doesn't have - although I don't know CS6 since I am still working with CS5.
    You still can send images from Lr5 to CS4 for editing but you have to select <Render using Lightroom> in the dialog that says that the "Camera raw plug-in 8.1 may be required   ...". BTW: what this means is that the Camera raw plug-in 8.1 is required for Photoshop, not for Lr.
    When you select <Render using Lightroom> Lr will create a TIFF / PSD from the Raw image and send it to CS4 for editing.
    If you had CS6 Lr would send the Raw image to CS6 but on saving the edits in CS6 a TIFF / PSD would be created.
    The only drawback with using CS4 is that the options <Merge to Panorama ...>, <Merge to HDR ...>, and <Open as layers> will be greyed-out and are not available.
    If instead of selecting  <Render using Lightroom> in the dialog box you would select <Open anyway>, nothing would happen. CS4 would open but the image would not be displayed in CS4.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom?

    I am very new to the photoshop programs and was wondering if I could get anyones opinion.  I have a windows XP computer and want to be able to do some photoshopping/editing on photos that take with my Canon XSi.  I was told that Lightroom 2 is all I'll need for all my editing since I'm just an amature, but the more I've seen on the adobe website, it looks to me like CS4 is the editing program and lightroom is really just for sorting photos and doing very general editing.  I'm kind of confused on what each program is used for and would be greatful for any advice on whether to just stick with lightroom 2 or make the jump to Adobe photoshop cs4.
    Thanks all.

    Nick-n-Kayla,
    No need to feel ignorant.  Wait until you read some of the answers here and you'll know what ignorant really is.  I don't follow what you said about Elements not having the editing capabilities you want.  What is lacking?  It has many lighting & filtering features.  I don't have it, but I've helped people learn it.  I was quite surprised at how much it can do.
    I know nothing about Lightroom, or Aperture, as I have no need to shoot RAW files.  As I said, Photoshop is the only program I use.  For me, it covers everything.  I do weddings, portraits, restorations, manipulations, Covers for CD's and books.  So my confusion is when you say that Lightroom suits your needs better when it covers fewer areas than Elements.  In other words, why get Photoshop when you feel that Elements is lacking?
