Lightroom 3 and CS5 Issue

I'm getting the following issue.
From Lightroom, if I select "edit in photoshop CS5" and then complete some edits and re-save the file, I will get the 2 of 2 etc in my filmstrip.
However, If I start to work on that image again in lightroom, any adjustment I make causes a flicker, and then the image renders itself again. It blinks, and re-renders with the new adjustment. Very annoying.
The only solution is to shut down lightroom and then re-open it.
Anyone else have this problem and if so, has anyone figured out what might be causing it?
Thanks.
Fulvio

Are you selecting the original file in Lightroom and then 'Edit in Photoshop'? When I do this and then save to the same folder in Photoshop the new file shows up in Lightroom's catalog without any further action be me. Do you have the Photoshop option set to 'Maximise PSD compatibility'?

16 Gb vs. 8 Gb of RAM for Lightroom 3 (and CS5.5) on the Mac?

Hi!
Being a Lightroom newbie -- I've used the CS apps quite a lot -- I thought I'd repost this question here (the original thread can be found at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4056775#4056775).
I've ordered a Macbook Pro 15-inch with a 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor. I'm going to be using it, most importantly, to run the CS5.5 Master collection -- as well as, for the first time, Lightroom 3.
My question is: should I bite the bullet and get 16 Gb of RAM right away? Or would that be just a waste of money, 8 Gb being sufficient for my purposes? That is, how much of a difference would the RAM doubling make for Lightroom use (as well as Photoshop and Bridge)? I generally work with moderate-sized images (< 200 Mb; though I may be getting a higher-resolution camera in the near future). I do like to keep several big apps open (e.g. Bridge, Photoshop, and InDesign).
The 16 Gb vs. 8 Gb price difference is, of course, huge (something like 350 euros vs. 50 euros). Money's kind of tight (I got the Adobe student discount for the software), and I feel I really should be saving up for a better camera.
Do you think the Macbook is otherwise up to the task (if I forget serious video editing, as discussed in the other thread)?

Thanks!
gatorjim2000: both Crucial (crucial.com) and OWC (macsales.com) have 16 Gb kits for the Macbook Pro.
web-weaver: I don't have LR on my old computer, so I can't take a look at memory usage right now.
As for other apps, I was kind of hoping to have a machine where I could have several big apps open simultaneously. But since I'll be getting an SDD (I hope a 128 Gb isn't too little? I'll add an HDD in place of the optical drive), applications will at least be starting quickly.

Lightroom 4 and cs5

Hi
When using lr3 I could go out directly from lr3 and edit in camera raw then go into cs5
Now I have upgraded to lr4 I can not get to camera raw
Why ?

The latest ACR version for Photoshop CS5 is ACR 6.7.
For full compatibility with Lightroom you need the corresponding/current ACR version, which by now is ACR 7.3, which in turn requires Photoshop CS6.
"Edit in Photoshop" still works, but you need to choose "Render Using Lightroom". The net result is exactly the same whether Lightroom renders the image or ACR does it from within Photoshop, however some additional options aren't available (such as open as smart object).
Before you get mad at Adobe for not providing "full compatibility" consider that there are new features that the older ACR version simply didn't have.

Lightroom black and white issues

My Lightroom 5.5 has over night turned all my black and white images into a sepia type tone also when i convert to black and white it is going to a sepia style tone i have also noticed the colour of my histogram has turned from white to the same colour brown! please help. This also seems to be happening when i export an image to silver efex pro 2.

Please refer to the Lightroom Forum if you want to discuss Lightroom issues.

Lightroom 3 and cs5 --Edit in Photoshop

I uplgraded to cs5 and LR3. I notice when I edit in PS, I no longer get popup asking if I want to edit with LR adjustmenst, etc. When I select edit in PS it opens in PS with LR adjustments then saves back into LR.
I cannot find an option to turn this on or off. Can anyone tell me if this is a change in LR or if I might not be finding an option to turn on and off?

Thank you very much Rob.
I tried your suggestion and it worked fine

Lightroom 4 (and CS5) and FFF Files

I'm working on Mac with Lion.
I've taken a series (thousands) of tethered picture with Phocus in multi shot mode (4 shot) with a H4D-50.
The strange thing is that Lightroom is bundled with the camera but can't see the files! Trying to import there's no file available.
CS5 can open the file, but not in Camera Raw... Why?
I need to open FFF multi shot file with ACR (either LR or PS). Any solution?
Thanks,

FFF is not fullt supported by Lr or Camera Raw. See response in linked thread from Camera Raw forum.

Settings between Lightroom 4 and CS5 or CS6

I know I must have some setting(s) incorrect because there is a color shift between Lightroom and CS.

Lightroom 4 AND 5 ISSUE

How do I get Lightroom 5 from the creative cloud to update my existing lightroom 4?

Lightroom 4 should not interfere with the installation of Lightroom 5 from the creative cloud. They are separate applications. What happened when you tried to install Lightroom 5 on the laptop?
What operating system does the laptop use?
How much RAM?
How much disk space?

Attempts at installing Lightroom and Cs5 on new iMac

I just purchased and received a new iMac. I have used one for a few years and had purchased Lightroom 3 and Cs5 for it. Now that I have a new computer, I would like to use both programs with it. But when I insert the cd's to install, nothing happens. Usually, an installation window appears to step me through the process. I tried a Mac software (iWork) that I had used with my other computer and did not have any problems so it's not the computer. I am hoping that I can use these two programs with the new computer, especially since I have several hundred dollars invested in both. Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue? Thanks!

Does your DVD for the installation of the Adobe software works on the Different computer ?
We need what exactly happen when you insert the DVD in your iMac, does it eject out , stays there but you can hear it reading.

Lightroom / CS5 Issues

I use Lightroom and CS5 on an Apple IMAC. Lightroom photos are uploaded to external drive with backup to a second external drive.
I do 95% of all editing in Lightroom and upload to CS5 for special effects, i.e. boarders etc. Upload to CS5 done through "edit in" function of Lightroom. Images are uploading OK most of the time but any editing done in Lightroom is lost. I do get the bookthat asked to upload with Lightroom changes, but this does not resolve issue.
I have also had rejection of uploading to CS5 or NIX software which requires me to re-start computer.
Finally, uploaded images from my travel portable hard drive requesting a backu[ to be made at same time. Backup was not for the upload, When checking backup hard drive serveral other uploads were not backed up.
Thanks,

How odd, you tell us the version of CS but you don't tell us the version of Lightroom you are using.
If you are using Lightroom 4, then CS5 will not understand the LR4 raw edits. So if you want the edits to show up, you have to send the images as TIF, not RAW.

Lightroom 5 Exporting and Plugin Issues

Hello Everyone ! I would like to express my gratitude in advance for any advise or solutions the adobe community might provide me with these issues.
I've been using Lightroom 4.3 for the last year with no issues. I decided it was time to try out Lightroom 5 and it's new features. So I installed a trial of 5.6 via creative cloud . When I launched 5.6 it required me to update my catalog, which I did and didn't encounter any problems with the update. The first problem I encountered occurred when I attempted to export an edited raw file. The export progress bar stays at zero and never completes the export process, if it helps anyone , the files I am exporting to JPEG are Raw Nikon D600 files. If I attempt to do anything else while Lightroom is stuck in the export process , the program will become unresponsive and I'm not even able to kill the process via windows task manager. My second problem is the Plugin manager , on Lightroom 4.3 I use the Smugmug upload plugin . On 5.6 the plugin manager crashes every time I attempt to setup the Smugmug plugin. I've tried other third party plugins and those cause Lightroom to crash as well so I don't believe it's just the Smugmug plugin. I've tried every possible solution I was able to find doing web searches but nothing has worked so far...
The following is a list of steps I took to try to resolve the issues.
-In the export screen I made sure that "Do nothing" was swtiched to "go to explorer" in post processing
- uninstalled all plugins
- Unistalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5.6
-Uninstalled Lightroom 4.3 (perhaps a conflict ?)
-Created a new catalog and imported new files to that catalog
-disabled firewall and antivirus
- Tried various JPEG re-sized dimensions
- Tried to export to various Drives ( local, and external drives)
-Ran Lightroom 5.6 as an administrator
-Deleted Preference File
Hopefully everyone can see I've tried my best to find a solution but to no avail , it's quite frustrating since I really want to upgrade to 5.6 . I hope someone can provide a solution or point me in the right direction ! Sorry if this post is too long!

I never had a problem with it in LR4. The example I gave was one of many options I tried. At the other end I asked it to produce smaller files (eg 1500pixels long edge) with a 1000k maximum and I could only get them to output at around 160k.
I have since realised that I neglected to mention that I was using LR/Mogrify2 plug in to add a text graphic to the images. I experimented with turning that option off and I was able to produce a 2500px long edge file at 996k. As soon as I turn that option on again the file ouptuts at 1600k (where I have specified at 1000k limit).
This was never a problem with LR4 so there is a conflict or a bug somewhere.
Is anyone else using a LR / Mogrify 2 plug in and experiencing unpredictable results? I have the option to use LR / Mogrify 2's version of ImageMagick checked.
Message was edited by: Shipp
So I just did further testing. It seems that LR5 cannot control the maximum file size when working with Lr / Mogrify 2. If I ask the plug in to resize the image and control the maximum file size I can produce a file with long edge 2500pix, 1000k maximum size and the text graphic with no problem at all, as I used to be able to do with LR4. I will contact the plug in developer and see if they are aware of this.

Installation/uninstall issues between CS4 and CS5

I had CS4 installed. I purchased CS5 (downloaded it) installed that. When I got the disks via mail, I tried to install that version (disk version). I started having issues as to which program would open a .prproj file. Often the CS4 version of Premiere Pro opened. Not what I wanted. I eventually uninstalled CS5 entirely and then reinstalled. Then things were working fine. However, I then tried to uninstall CS4. (I have seen from numerous posts/comments to leave both on -- which I really don't know why. Doesn't make sense to keep both versions). I prefer not to have an extra 4GB of space used for programs I am no longer using. However, in doing so, the uninstall didn't appear to do a perfect job. And now I can't double-click a .prproj file. This icon is also blank white. I went into Set Associations and I can't assign .prproj to Premiere CS5. In looking at the Open With window, I notice that some of the icons for other Adobe programs are all splewy (Adobe Encore is using the CS4 icon, Adobe Illustrator is using the PDF icon, Flash Catalyst is using the Air icon, etc.)
I could: a) uninstall everything, including Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I had purchased and installed prior to CS4 or CS5) and then reinstall everything -- sheesh that would take a while; or b) I could ask my friends here to explain and guide me!

Hi Stix, Thanks.
I am not so positive that there is no difference between the download version vs the media version specifcially because in downloading the updates, the site demands you choose your update depending on how your software was installed. I figured that the download would be smaller. Perhaps you are right. And maybe it is the same, in either case, when I get a stack of disks, I tend to think there is more on the disk and the download version is merely the core applications.
Anyway, I had to uninstall everything CS4 and CS5 and then reinstall CS5. Oddly, this didn't automatically fix my problem. However, at least I was able to choose Premiere CS5 to open .prproj files and check off the box to use it as the default. (I wasn't able to before). So now it works!

Magenta Printing Issues in LR3 and CS5

Hi,
   I have seen this issues mentioned in various forms over the last year or so but I have yet to see a real solution to the problem I am now experiencing
History:
   I was running a Vista 64b OS and using LR 2.X along with Epson's r2880 printer. I was able to print using LR 2.X without any issues both in B&W and color using the various paper iccs provided by the vendors (Moab for example) I never had the Magenta printing issues.
Fast Forward:
   I recently installed LR3 and CS5 under the same OS (Vista 64b) and when I printed in color it is obviously Magenta heavy.   I am following the same practices as before of having LR3 manage the color (using one of the vendor iccs) and setting "No Color Managment" in the printer driver UI. Doing this gives me terrible crazy Magenta prints. I have un-installed and re-installed the Epson Printer drivers numerous times with no positive effect. The causal effect was installing CS5 and LR3. These were the only changes made.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and had found a solution other than switching over to a Mac.
This is very frustrating and depressing.
Thanks,
David.

Thanks for the great Feed back. I was able to fix the printing problem by doing several things:
1) Re-install the printer drivers
2) Runnning the printer through nozzle checks and cleaning cycles. Had to peform the cleaning cycle 3 times.
3) Replacing the yellow ink cartridge. The ink level was showing about 15% remaining but in fact I was out of yellow ink. I had read that the ink levels were not always accurate.
So for me this issue has been solved. Thanks for the help.
