Lightroom 3: file changes not propagating into Finder even after saving metadata?

Hello,
I have recently purchased Lightroom 3 and have spent the past couple days educating myself on the program.  I have developed a file in Lightroom and I am now trying to open it in Photoshop Elements 10. I am running into two problems. 
1. I have defined Elements as an additional external editor.  When I try to launch the photo in Elements, Elements launches, but the file never actually opens in the program. My options are as follows: Edit a copy w/ Lightroom Adj., PSD format, sRGB, 8 bits, Res 240, stack with Orig.. When I click edit, the PSD is created and visible within the Lightroom library.  I can drag and drop the PSD into Elements as a workaround.
2.  When I look at the (.NEF/.jpg) file in Finder, none of my changes are apparent.  I have saved the metadata both manually, and updated my preferences to automatically update the metadata into an xmp file. This is the bigger problem for me because I would like to edit my photo's in both programs.
Can anyone shed some light on why I am having these problems?
Thanks!
Angelique

Thanks Lee.  Yes, I knew it was non-destructive, but I thought I saw on a tutorial that if you saved the metadata, it was embedded in the file as opposed to just in the Lightroom db, and that subsequently, other products (like Elements) would/should be able to recognize it.  It makes sense that Finder wouldn't see it, but I do wonder as to why Elements didn't see it (when I finally dragged and dropped from finder). 
Regardless, I exported to .dng and was able to open it Elements with the changed visible. 
Thank you so much for your response.  I am going to open a new thread as to why I am having the problem listed in point 1. 
Thanks again!
Angelique

  • Java is not installing into Firefox even after uninstall/reinstall

    I need to take a test for a staffing company. They use Java to administer the test. My Firefox does not see Java even though it is installed in my computer. Neither does the test see Java. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, turned off my security, and even shut down my computer and restarted it. Any ideas how to get Java in? The testing company had the solution of try another computer.

    Nope, still no go. Thanks!

    Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
    First..
    1. Have you updated from 13 to the 13.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
    2. Do the problems exist if you disable the antivirus and firewall(s)?
    3. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
    4. Have you refreshed the Online Services using Premiere Elements Editor Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing?
    5. Have you updated the Adobe Application Manager?

    6.Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    7. Lots more we could go through such as deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole
    13.0 Folder in which it exists.
    But, I think that you have enough things going on here to warrant an uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) and then reinstall with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

    If the problems persist after all that then we will adjust to additional troubleshooting maneuvers.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • InCopy workflow in InDesign: Is there a way to find the document in which an ICML file has NOT been checked IN again before saving the doc?

    The situation:
    We are working with the InCopy feature (checking in and checking out ICML files).
    The problem:
    I might have saved a document with an ICML file still checked out.
    The question:
    Is there a way to find out which document was saved with the ICML file still checked out?
    or in other words:
    Is there a way to find the document in which an ICML file has NOT been checked IN again before saving the doc?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Sumit Singh,
    thank you for your answer and your reasonable recommendation. Unfortunately, this only works when the ICML content is used in one INDD file. In our case, we use ICML content in multiple docs (various manuals with the same safety instructions, warranties, adresses etc.).
    So, is there a way to trace back where an ICML has been used?
    Is it possible to find out in which document the ICML is still checked out?

  • My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into Iphoto.

    My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into IPhoto.  The computer will recognize the files once the download is complete, but fails to finalize.  My version of IPhoto is 7.1.5 and my computer is a Mid 2007 Mac Mini Model.  I have Light Room 5, but my wife and I are prefer IPhoto for basic download and sharing.  Is there a possibility  of getting the RAW files to download ?

    what version of the OS?
    You need Mt Lion and iPhoto '09 for your camera RAW support - OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats -
    If your computer will support tMavericks do the free upgrade to it and purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store

  • Can anyone help me, I am trying to create courses using Captivate for Udemy, but even after saving the courses as pdf files, Udemy will not reconize them. NOw I am back to square one because according to Udemy techs, they do not support Captivate files.

    Trying to create my courses using Adobe Captivate, but even after saving the files as a pdf it will not upload in Udemy. What can I do?

    Yep, you lose all interactivity when publishing to video.
    Udemy, Lynda.com, Total Training and other similar models are based on simple "watch the video to learn" type of consumption. The only real interactivity you get is an ability to pause, rewind, fast forward. Basically anything you can do with a video.

  • Adobe digital editions will not finish downloading ebook  even after double clicking on hard drive .

    ADE will not download and open the ebook automatially. After locating the .ascm (ebook) file on the hard drive and double clicking on that, it still will not open in ADE.

    I did all that and after I close the ADE and double click on the file, ADE opens right up and it looks like it is downloading (very fast), but nothing shows up in the ADE.

    Right click on the ACSM file or option click and go to Open With and select Other.  You can then navigate to your Adobe Digital Editions and set the file to open with that. I would then recommend closing Digital Editions, if you have it open, and try double clicking the file.  If Adobe Digital Editions opens then the file association is still correct.  If you continue to have difficulties then I would recommend contacting the vendor you obtained the e-book from.

    There is any way to let one page of the final pdf exported file editable?

    Hi there
    You haven't seen any replies because you posted this to the Captivate forums. Hang tight and I'll move it over to the InDesign forums where it may gain some traction.
    Best of luck in finding a solution! Rick

  • Shopping cart not returning to SoCo even after PO and confirmation deleted

    Shopping cart not returning to SoCo even after PO and confirmation are deleted.
    Steps followed:
    Created shopping cart
    SC approved
    Assigned vendor in sourcing and created PO(PO created successfully created in ECC)
    Confirmation created
    Deleted the conformation
    Deleted the PO
    When PO is deleted SC should return to Sourcing Cockpit, but it is not returning.
    Checked the table BBP_PDIGP, source_del_ind is space.
    Ran BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP both the programs manually but in vein.

    Hi,
    Can you try by just deleting the PO? Dont delete the confirmation.
    I think once you have done the confirmation, the SC will not come back to SOCO. (Logically if you see, confirming means you have already received goods, so after receiving goods, I dont think SC will be visible again in SOCO)

    Thank you, for that. To be sure, I tried your suggestion, and selected "System Proxy" as the choice, for Thunderbird and Firefox. Rebooted, and looked at the outcome.. NO Joy.. :-(
    I believe that I shall send the output of the Error Log in my next post. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction after looking at the Error.log.

  • Home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it

    home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it?

    Fma26-
    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
    If the Apple logo never appears, you may have a broken button.  If your iPad is less than a year old and still in warranty. Apple should repair or replace it.  If it is convenient, show it to an Apple Store Genius.  Otherwise, look for a nearby Authorized Apple Repair Center.
