Lightroom 3 to Photoshop CS5 presets differ

When I move an image from lightroom to Photoshop then save the image the resulting image differs when applying the same preset.  I notice a difference under calibration profile; the original (lightroom) file defaults to Adobe Standard while the psd file defaults to embedded.  As far as I know there is no way to change this.
I prefer to do all my photoshop manipulation on the original image before setting the final look vs doing my lightroom adjustments then sending off to photoshop.

Presets only store the absolute value of each slider in develop mode.
Same value has a different effect on a Raw or a gamma-encoded file (TIFF, PSD etc.). For example, the default brightness for a raw is 50, whereas it is 0 for a flat file.
Bottom-line: you shouldn't expect the presets made for a raw file to work fine on a TIFF. That's the nature of things.

    Any ideas?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • I cannot open files directly from Lightroom 4 into Photoshop CS5.

    I recently changed to new Macbook Pro and uploaded my Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.
    Now when I go to 'Photo - Edit in - Photoshop' in Lightroom 4. Photoshop opens. But no image appears.
    I've updated the Camera Raw reader but this hasn't helped.
    Anyone got a suggestion that might help?
    I have been making attempts to download updates for my Photoshop PS5 but after 4 attempts I get the same failed window asking me to try later.
    Anyone any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    It is important to understand how Lr works.
    Lr displays photos only when they are imported into Lr. A (seeming) exception is for a Raw image that is edited in Photoshop and <Saved> to the default settings that you selected in external editing of Preferences in Lr. So if the default setting is for PSD and you just hit <Save> in Photoshop, a PSD will be created and automatically imported back into Lr so that it will be displayed there. So, this is not really an exception from the rule that an image has to be imported into Lr - it is an automatic import. This automatic import works only for the <Save> to the default settings;it does not work when you do a <Save As> and select a different file format than the default setting. In your case you did a <Save as> to create a JPG. This JPG will not be automatically imported into Lr, you have to import it manually - either through the Import Dialog or by <Synchronize Folder>.
    Apart from that, and as JimHess said, why do you create a JPG in Photoshop from the same file? If you need a JPG, in Lr just export your PSD as a JPG when you need it.
    I often need JPGs from my file, but I create them only when needed by exporting them to a folder of my choice. Usually I delete them after a while. I don't see a reason why I should have JPGs sitting around on my hard drive(s). They can be created again (from the Raw files or from PSD's/Tiffs) if the need arises.

  • Can I Extract a Frame from a Video (in Lightroom 3 or Photoshop CS5)?

    I'm running Windows 7 and have Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5.  Extracting a frame from a .MOV file is way over my head, but I want to try.  Right now the file is in Lightroom, but the "Open in" options are grayed out.  I have exported the file to my desktop, and  I can play the video with Windows Media Player.  I bet somewhere, somehow there is a way to do what I want.  Any help, ideas or references would be much appreciated!

    When you say "Extract a frame", do you mean saving one of the frames as an image from Photoshop?
    Here's what you can do:
    1. Open the video in Photoshop, File > Open, and choose the .mov file.
    2. Once the video opens in Photoshop, open the Animation panel, Window > Animation
    3. In the Animation panel move the playhead to the desired frame, and save it as an image, File > Save As.
    and Voila!
    Any questions, just ask. I'll be more than happy to help.

  • 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.

  • Editing from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS5

    HELP!
    My Lightroom 4 is not working great these days.
    1 - When importing my photos from my memory cards, my "Catologue" area in Lightroom is GONE, no where to be found. How can I recover this!? It was pretty important to me to have this option.
    2 - When I am wanting to edit a Lightroom 4 photo (CR2 file) into Photoshop (CS5), it wont work. What will happen is Photoshop will open, that photo I edited WONT save back into my Lightroon Library, it will save into my "PICTURES" section on my MAC laptop. What I want it to do, as its done before, is save it as a edited JPEG right back into LIGHTROOM so all my images are together. This is getting extremely frustrating !! I NEEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET PLEASE ANYONE!

  • 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.

  • Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 hdr grayed out

    I have Lightroom 4 installed and Photoshop CS5
    Prolem

    This may be an obvious question, but did you select two or more photos in Lightroom before trying the above options?

  • Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS5

    I am about to upgrade to LR 5. Currently I use LR4.4 which uses Camera RAW 7.4.  LR5 uses Camera RAW 8.2.  Will I be able to edit RAW files in LR5 and still continue to edit the resultant files in Photoshop CS5 without using a DNG conversion?

    The only practical limitation is that you lose some of the functions under "Edit in" - smart objects, layers, hdr and pano. These are Photoshop scripts that rely on ACR processing the raw files.
    Just to clarify in case of any confusion: if you are previously used to being able to override the default filename and folder location of your LR edits into Photoshop, by using "Save As" - you will need to stop doing that, and only use "Save".
    [When ACR is not involved - when it is LR which carries out the rendering of the adjustments and the creation of a working file for PS to edit - the file has already been saved before PS ever sees it. So that is where the editing changes made by PS have to be put, in order for Lr to show them as an update.]
    Also, if you are previously used to sometimes changing your mind about doing a PS edit "midway", and exiting PS without having saved anything - this working scenario will still leave that brand new editing file on disk, plus a new thumbnail inside LR corresponding to that. That pairing would require manual deletion, separately, from inside LR.

  • Sync between Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5

    I continue to have problems with updating the Lightroom 3 catalog.  Yesterday I highlighted 4 icons of CR2 files and opened them in CS5 to do a photomerge. I saved the result as a psd file then as a jpeg file in the same directory that the CR2 files were stored. On returning to Lightroom, those files were not in the catalog so I went ahead and imported them into the catalog.  No luck--still no icons.  The original files had been tagged with a keyword so I highlighted the keyword and then clicked the right arrow next to the keyword.  The icons then appeared but after another minor edit in Photoshop they disappeared. I wanted to copy the jpeg to Flickr and eventually did so but it took multiple steps of closing Lightroom, choosing the keyword, filtering the files before I got it done.
    I am relatively new to Lightroom but worked extensively in PSE 6 and earlier versions and do not remember having anywhere like the problems I have experienced with Lightroom.  My impression is that Lightroom is designed for a specific workflow, not to serve as a reliable database to keep file versions and edits easily accessible.

    I finally figured out where the edited files went--to a higher level subdirectory.  Lightroom was not happy with my directory structure which had the pictures in subdirectories three levels below the /User/xxx/Pictures directory in Windows 7. Importing images always required choosing the correct subdirectory and apparently this problem carried over when I sent images to Photoshop and saved changed versions.  I did find the specific option to send to Photoshop to create a panorama and that process worked correctly to place the panorama in the original directory.
    Anyway, having struggled with this mess I spent quite a bit of time moving images to a higher level subdirectory.  Do you have any insight into why Lightroom chokes on what worked perfectly well with Photoshop Elements?

  • Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.5

    If I upgrade Lightroom from 3.6 to 4, but leave Photoshop at CS5.5, will there be any problems with Camera Raw? Will I end up with two versions of Camera Raw or any incompatibility between the new Camera Raw and CS5.5?
    I have Windows 7 x64.
    Thanks
    Greg McCormick
    Got a partial answer from chat. Will now just do it.

    You will not get two versions of the ACR plugin itself installed, because LR incorporates this internally within its program. CS5.5 and its own ACR will be unaffected.
    However the communication method between the new LR and your PS version, and also the nature of adjustments saved by LR onto images which are then opened into PS, will suffer some reduced compatibility compared with how you work now.
    There are options for passing images from LR to PS, whereby LR renders its adjustments into a bitmap file which PS then opens directly (completely bypassing ACR) - and in that case, ACR support of Raws or editing metadata becomes accordingly moot. LR steps fully into this role, in other words.
    This workaround does restrict the functions of passing multiple images for HDR or stitching or as layers.
    It also impairs the use of Smart Object workflow since embedded image data may have LR4 edits saved onto it, which cannot be properly used when the Smart Object is later opened into the older-version ACR for further adjustment.
    Where a particular image has been worked on inside LR4 using the older process version (2010) - which is fully LR3-compatible (as your current ACR is also) - there will in that special case, be the same compatibility of metadata and adjustments as you currently experience. In effect, for that particular image, LR4 emulates LR3.

  • Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 don't work together

    Hello,
    I recently updated from PS CS4 to PS CS5 and Lightroom 2.7 to Lightroom 3.
    Everything went smoothly and i'm very happy with performance overall.
    The only problem that i'm having is that now in Lightroom the "Edit in Photoshop" is greyed out. I can still edit the preferences for this option but i cannot choose the option when i want a photo to go to PS.
    I can still edit in Photoshop if i use it as an "another external edit program", but my question is how do i get the two programs aware again of each other?? So i can edit in photoshop as a smart object again. I updated ACR to the latest version.
    My computer runs a copy of Win7 64-bit Ultimate.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CS5 preset folders empty

    Went to load and or reset crop tools, brushes, etc... and when I navigate within CS5 to those folders, all are empty.  If I navigate not from Photoshop but directly from My Computer to the Preset folders, they are there, but not when I navigate within PS.... and the navigation is correct.
    When I do place brushes in the preset folder, then navigate in PS, they are not there...  I myself have CS4 and this is not a problem.  I'm troubleshooting-working with a friend on a project and we are handcuffed with this CS5 problem...  Help!?

    What OS is your friend using?  Vista or Windows 7 by any chance?
    Assuming yes...
    I ask because UAC in these OSs does some "special" things, actually redirecting requests to access files in certain folders.  In short, Explorer and/or the file system shows them in one place when they're actually stored in another.
    I don't know if that might be what's happening here, but here's an experiment you can run:  Disable UAC (drag the slider to the "never notify" setting at the bottom), reboot, then see if the problem persists.
    The problem comes about because Photoshop has its roots in a simpler time, when the installation was done with the assumption that the one and only administrative user of the computer would be using it.

  • Lightroom not detecting Photoshop cs5

    Lightroom 4 only detects Photoshop cs2, not cs5, so I can't jump over to cs5 for further editting. Is there an easy way to correct this? I assume it is because cs2 was installed after cs5 (don't ask, it wasn't me!)

    Do a repair install of PS CS5 and it should correct the issue.
