Lightroom 3 does not see Photoshop CS5 as Primary EXTERNAL editor

After removing prior versions of Lightroom (2.7) and Photoshop (CS4), Lightroom 3 does not recognize Photoshop CS5 64 bit or 32 bit as the PRIMARY external editor. I can select the file and edit in the proper file, but the other options are greyed out.

Missing Registry entry caused by uninstalling CS4 AFTER installing CS5.

Lightroom does not see photoshop

Lightroom 5.7.1 Edit In menu selection results in Photoshop CC 2014 opening but will not copy photo overs to edit.
How do you get CC products to recognize each other?

It's a known bug/ issue.

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Unfortunately, importing from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is harder than it should be but there is an efficient solution. The secret to creating a new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Catalog from an existing iPhoto image library is to download and install the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12. This sounds completely bizarre, but Photoshop Lightroom lacks the ability to import directly from iPhoto and iPhoto lacks a merge with Lightroom feature. Although Lightroom cannot import images from your existing iPhoto library, Photoshop Elements 12 can!
Even the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12 has the ability to import from iPhoto and then Lightroom 5 can import from Elements. Photoshop Elements 12 is ironically the missing link for those looking to move their images from iPhoto into Lightroom.

Lightroom does not recognize Photoshop CS2

I installed on my notebook and all is well.
However, I installed on my desktop and Lightroom does not see that Photoshop CS2 is installed.
I'm sure a full re-install of CS2 then Lightroom would fix it...but I'm hoping for a less painful way of fixing this?
Thanks!
Greg

Ok - right after posting the message, I found my own answer back on the beta messageboard.
Here's how to fix it:
1) Run regedit.exe from start menu->run
2) Look for this folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\photoshop.exe
In that folder, there should be a key "Path" and its value should be the folder where Photoshop CS2 (or any other Photoshop version) is installed."
My registry didn't have that folder, so I created it and added a "Path" key with the value being the path to Photoshop CS2: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\

Lightroom Does not Find Photoshop

I just installed Lightroom and have been toying with it.
I have Photoshop CS2 installed in the default location, but in Lightroom, under Edit > Preferences, in the External Editors Tab, it states "Edit in Adobe Photoshop (not found)." The option to Edit in Photoshop under Photo is greyed out.
Is there any way I can tell Lightroom where Photoshop is located?
As it is now, I have set up my Additional External Editor as Photoshop, but I am unsure if it is maxamizing compatibility when I save the file, and I'd really rather know why it did not find Photoshop on the install or first run?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Greg

hello everyone. I have recently installed a Samsung SSD (solid state hard drive) into my destop PC. For some reason Lightroom does not see it ? So i cannot ingest photos from it, or copy photos from a card to it. It is not listed as a drive option. LR sees every other drive. My computer sees it fine, so i was able to create a catalogue there. Im running windows 8.1. Any ideas ? I will also add that this drive became corrupt and was repaired by Samsung. Maybe they didn't do a very good job.. ..

Yes pretty much that, but to clarify sorry
Opened Lightroom.
Create new catalogue.
This opened the Windows 8 file explorer window and Windows recognises the drive. So I was able to create a catalogue there and save.
I then inserted my memory card into my card reader which LR recognised. I selected it, chose all the photos within and then navigated to the right side of the Lr import dialogue window to locate this problem drive as on this occasion i want the RAW files on the same drive as the lrcat. However all my other drives are listed but not this Samsung SSD.
In addition this Samsung SSD is not listed a drive to import from in the same dialogue window.

Lightroom does not open photoshop using "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command.
Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them. The
“Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
Is there a way to fix this? I use this feature frequently.

In reply to DdeGannes:
What’s broken? -- The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
Was it working before? Yes.
What happens if you click? - Nothing.
Do you get an error message? - No.

60gb iPod does not see music files on my external HD

I'm going nuts trying to figure out why my iBook does not see the music files on my external HD.
I have a 250gb external hard drive (that I put together with an enclosure and HD I bought from Tiger Direct). I have the hard drive hooked up to my G3 iBook via Fire Wire. The HD comes up on the desktop, but none of the files are seen. Now, when I take the same HD and hook it up to my Windows PC, all my music is there.
I really don't want to have my iPod hooked up to my PC. My G3 is too small to hold all the music. I need to have the external HD to handle all the music for my iPod.
How do I accomplish this on my G3?
Thanks!
iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hyphen says:
[The] drive can be formatted as fat32 and be read/written by macs. He could also partition it, one partition as hfs+, the other as fat32. This can be done from disk utility.
The NTFS format (windows) has only read support for OS X.
How did s/he copy the music on the external drive? Was the music on his/her pc? If yes the hierarchy may be different for the pc version of iTunes library, or is it that he can't find the files even from the finder?
And Red Dwarf adds:
Just to add to hyphen's reply, FAT32 has a maximum size of 32GB. The user cannot make the partition larger than 32GB should they decide to go down that route.
Another alternative is a utility called TransMac. When installed on a PC, it will allow the PC to recognise a Mac OS formatted drive and read the files within. No need then to worry about all that FAT32 and NTFS malarky stuff. It weighs in at $64 dollars though for a 1-3 user licence:

So hopefully, with Kappy's help, too, you will be able to figure it out.
Good luck.

External hard drive renamed, now lightroom does not see my files

I have been putting all my pictures in a folder on my external hard drive and then pulling them into Lightroom as they are added. The external HD was named (J:). I just went on vacation and decided to take a laptop and my hard drive along to work on photos. WHen I returned and plugged my hard drive back in to my regular desktop it showed up as (L:). I tried to simply rename it, but that did not work. Lightroom does see any of my folders as they were all mapped to the (J:) drive.
Any ideas?

Right click on the top level folder in Lightroom folder panel and choose Finder Missing Folder or Update Folder Location. The first usually only shows in your situation, but on occasions it might note, therefore the second should be enough. This linked tutorial should guide you through the remaining steps.

My computer does not recognize Photoshop CS5 Extended disc

my computer does not recognize CS5 Extended disc. Can anyone help me?

if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Lightroom does not see the installed photoshop CS6

I have LR 4.1 and Photoshop CS6 installed, but when trying "edit in.." then LR suggests CS4 (which have been unistalled) and the four bottom alternatives to open (e.g. open as smart object) are not possible to use. Why?

The easy way to solve it is to reinstall CS6. Alternatively, there are a couple of options here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html

Lightroom 2.6 does not see CS-4 in Windows 7

This issue is new with my laptop system. I installed CS-4 (32 and 64 bit) and Lightroom (64 bit-it says). All was working fine during my initial tests with images but I don't use the laptop frequently. Now that I am away from home and trying to take photos from Lightroom to Photoshop for advanced editing Lightroom does not see any of my Photoshop installations.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Jim

Even though this happens with Google Chrome as well, try trouble shooting Safari extensions...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

HOW TO MANUALLY CHOOSE PRIMARY EXTERNAL EDITOR

How can I manually choose the primary external editor? Currently, it's chosen automatically. Is there a Registry fix?
I use XP Professional with Lightroom 1.4.1 and Lightroom 2.0 Beta and 2GB RAM on a 3.2ghz Pentium 4 machine.
Why do I need this? Well, it's not so bad with Lightroom 1, but with Lightroom 2 Beta, if Lightroom picks a program other than Photoshop for its "automatic" choice of a primary external editor, then some options for working with Photoshop are greyed out.
Even with Photoshop selected as a secondary external editor, the choices for Merge to HDR, Stack in Layers, Merge to Panorama, Open as Smart Object are greyed out in the context sensitive menu that pops up when I right-click on an image (e.g. in Library Mode).
Uninstalling the program that Lightroom manually picks only leave an error message for the primary external editor that Photoshop isn't found, even though it's installed. I use CS3 Design Premium with Photoshop CS3 Extended.
What can I do?????

Lightroom always chooses Photoshop as its primary external editor and you are not given a choice in this. It chooses this by looking at value of registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\10.0\Application Path. If that key does not exist Lightroom will display message that Phostoshop could not be found and the Edit with Photoshop menu item will not be available.
As regards LR 2 beta and photoshop, there are many threads in the LR2 Beta forum on the issue of missing options in Edit with Photoshop. The consensus there is that you need V10.0.1 to get all the options such as HDR, Smart Object etc. This is the link to LR 2 Beta forum:

As I write this, the most recent message discusses this very topic of Photoshop editing options. By the time your read this reply it may have moved way down the list, so here is the link to it:

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my iphoto library

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my "iphoto library"

Hello.
The problem is that the iPhoto library is inside of iPhoto. Lightroom won't let you select it because it's basically a shortcut to iPhoto. Try exporting the images you need or all of them, depending on what you need.
