Lightroom 3 isn't recognising Photoshop CS5.

I recently upgraded Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2 to CS5 and 3 respectively.
Since then however, whenever in Lightroom, when i go to edit a photo in Photoshop the option is blanked out.
Every option, including opening in layers and as a smart object, as well as just editing in photoshop plain and simple, is blanked.
The only option available it to edit in another application but when i click on that it states i have no program to edit it.
Is there any reason why this is happening, or have i not done something to make Lightroom 'recognise' that photoshop is there?
Thanks in advance.

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 2.7, Edit in Photoshop CS5 can it be done?

I am currenently running Lightroom 2.7 64-bit. I have upgraded to Photoshop CS5 64-bit. When I gointo "edit in" the only options I get are "edit in photoshop CS3" or "open as a smart object". When I edit as a smart object photoshop my image is opened in CS5. How do I get Lightroom to recognize CS5 so I can edit in ity instead of CS3?

Try uninstalling CS3 and then reinstalling CS5.

Can Lightroom 5.5 'link' with Photoshop CS5?

I use Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 and need to open Sony ARW RAW files.
At a talk last night and expert gave a talk on his Mac about Lightroom and how RAW files could be imported.
He showed how Lightroom differed from Camera Raw and persuaded me that I needed Lightroom.

Lightroom is an excellent companion for Photoshop CS5. It will give you the features of the latest Camera Raw. Lightroom will create a PSD or TIF file to send to Photoshop so that you can use all of the Photoshop tools you are accustomed to. When you have finished working in Photoshop that file will be saved and added to your Lightroom catalog. I think you would be very pleased with the workflow.
Camera Raw that is used by Photoshop CS5 is older than the raw editing capabilities of Lightroom 5. Camera Raw is used to convert the image when it transfers from Lightroom to Photoshop. Since your version of Camera Raw won't have all of the features that Lightroom does, it might not be able to accurately convert the image during the transfer. The solution is simply to allow Lightroom to create the TIF or PSD file before it is opened in Photoshop rather than at the end of the Photoshop session. The process works very smoothly, and many users use that workflow.

Importing photos with Lightroom (5.3) edits into Photoshop CS5

I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5.3 from version 5.2. I now cannot import photos with Lightroom edits into Photosop CS5. This was not a problem in the previous version. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hope this works

Opening Lightroom images in photoshop cs5 ACR

Is there any way to edit Lightroom 3.0 images in Photoshop Cs5 ACR? If I choose Edit in Photoshop the image goes directly to photoshop and bypasses ACR. I have tried creating an ACR option in Preferences but cant find the ACR file. Can anyone help?

No...and there is no reason to do so. Lightroom and Camera Raw share the exact same processing pipeline–assuming you are using the same rev version. The only way to take a raw image into Photoshop and use the Camera Raw dlog is to open as a Smart Object which will give you the SO version of Camera Raw inside the Photoshop document.

Lightroom edited photo will not open in Photoshop CS5

Lightroom Linked to Photoshop CS5 32 Bit not 64 Bit

Hello.
On my computer I have Lightroom 3.6 64-bit, Photoshop CS5 32-bit and 64-bit. When I'm in LR and click to edit in Photoshop, LR brings up the 32-bit version rather than the 64-bit version. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
As a workaround, you could bring up Photoshop 64-bit manually and leave it running. I think that when you do an Edit in Photoshop, LR will send the file to that one.

Lens recognised in Photoshop CS5 but not in Lightroom 3

Automatic lens correction recognises my camera make and lens ( Sony - sigma 18 -250) in Photoshop CS5 but not in Lightroom 3. In fact the lens is not even listed in Lightroom.
Is there a way to update Lightroom with the Photoshop data?

I don't think Photoshop's plugin filters by file type - it just throw all the profiles at you, but uses exif lens data to pre-select the bes matching.
I think it makes sense, since after opening a file, be it raw or jpeg, in Photoshop, the program cannot be sure about the provenience of data. So it relies on user to make the right choice.

Why won't Lightroom 3.3 send a dng file to Photoshop CS5?

I am using a Windows 7 64 bit platform, Lightroom 3.3, Camera Raw 6.3 and Photoshop CS5 also 64 bit. I have my photos (from a Nikon D3100) in dng format but when I try to open it in Photoship using the Edit in command to send it either as a dng file or a smart object I get a notice that the file couldn't open because Photoshop couldn't be opened. In fact Photoshop does open (or it is already open). Sometimes, the file will eventually open in Photoshop, but it takes several minutes -- like 5 or more, other times it never opens.
Can anyone offer any suggestions or help?

Quote <Is there a setting LR or on the camera that I can use to allow LR to recognise (and render) the NEF file from the camera?>
No. LR will only show the thumbnail rendered by the camera,if it is possible. The better practice would be to download the files from the CF/SD card using a reliable card reader, this would be more efficient/faster and reliable. (use the camera to take photographs, rather than have it attached to the computer.)
A LR generated preview will only be rendered after the import of the NEF.

Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?

Photoshop cs5 and Lightroom 5

I have Photoshop cs5 and have just bought Lightroom 5. My Camera Raw plug-in is up to date to version 6.3. I get a message once I try to edit into Photoshop cs5: This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.3 for full compatibility. I have used the update tool in Photoshop but still I get only version 6.3. Can someone inform me what I need to do to get the plug-in 8.3? Thank you.

And to directly answer your question, you don’t inform Adobe, you merely deactivate PS, reimage, then reinstall and reactivate PS with the serial number(s), and relicense LR with the serial number(s).
If this computer isn’t yours and you don’t have the serial numbers, yourself, then that could be a problem, although there may be software that can find the serial numbers. On a PC platform, download and run the Belarc Security Advisor and see if it finds the serial numbers you need. It’ll only find the current product serial numbers, not the prior versions that an upgrade might be based on, so then you’ll be stuck.

I must have my computer reimaged. I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7. How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

Hello,
In Photoshop CS5 are the Colours, Brightness diffrent to Lightroom 5 as you can see in this picture:

My settings in the colormanagment in PS is Adobe RGB and Europa pre-press 3. But even when i switch to other options the picture isn't changing. I guess there is the Problem, it seems that it don't react on my adjustments:

Can't open dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
Technical details:
OS X v10.8.5
Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
Camera: Nikon D600
Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3 and Lightroom ver 4.3
I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
Also:
Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.
