Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 hdr grayed out

I have Lightroom 4 installed and Photoshop CS5
Prolem
Merge to HDR in Photoshop
Merge to Panorama
Open Layers in Photoshop
All Grayed out

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

  • Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 .psd files compatibility

    Currently I'm trying to open a .psd file for a graphic in Lightroom but I cannot see any .psd extensions. Any idea how to do so? In other words, .psd is not in the supported files extensions in Lightroom? Anybody knows how to deal with such problem?

    Hi Jasonized,
         Thank you for your response! I appreciate it a lot. However, I'm watching Chris Orwig who did it without a problem. The vidio is named 0205 Using a graphic identity plate.mov, time 01:40 from this movie. These are lessons for Photoshop Lightroom. The title is called 'Photoshop Lightroom 3 Essential Training' from Lynda.com.
         If somebody wish I could provide him/her with the movie file to see exactly what it's all about.
         I believe the answer should be something connected with compatibily in photoshop.
         I would appreciate if someone give me a fresh idea how to solve this issue.
         Bye for now!! Cheers!!

  • Lightroom 4.3 and Photoshop CS5 Crashing

    For several months, I have been trying to troubleshoot random blue-screen crashes when (and only when) using Lightroom 4.3 and Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 64-bit.  The Windows stop error code is always 124 (hardware related).  The crash dump files have not provided much help. They just keep referring to "ntoskrnl.exe" and "hal.dll" as possible causes, but that doesn't help isolate specific hardware.  Without going into all the excrutiating details of what I have done to try to find a hardware problem, I am now 99% sure that hardware is NOT causing the crashes.  I recently ran "Who Crashed, Professional Edition 4.01" to analyze the crash dump files.  It identified "cameraraw.dll" and "tliadjust50.dll" (a file installed byTopaz Labs plug-ins Adjust 4, DeNoise 5, and Fusion Express 2) as possible causes of the crashes.  I would like to refresh "cameraraw.dll" to determine if it is in fact causing the problem.  My question is how to replace my existing "cameraraw.dll" file with a new one.  Can I just download a new "cameraraw.dll" file (from where?) and replace my existing "cameraraw.dll"?  Or, do I have to reinstall LR4 and/or CS5 to refresh "cameraraw.dll"?  I really hope I don't have to do that, because I think I would probably have to also reinstall all the third-party plug-ins and extensions I have installed to work with  LR4 and CS5, and that would be a major pain.  Does anyone have any suggestions/

    I have used lightroom trial before, and I found it good.  So i joined the lightroom and photoshop yesterday.  I have download the photoshop in the adobe creative cloud, but at the front page of adobe creative cloud, it shows that I have not download the lightroom.  I saw the lightroom is already downloaded in the apps of adobe creative cloud.  However, when I key in the icon of lightroom, I found out I have only 0 day and i need to buy.  So what can I do to get the lightroom?

  • Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

    Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
    I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100.  Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
    My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass?  When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening.  If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
    By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS.  I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
    Thanks for ideas.

    This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
    The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
    The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
    So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
    For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
    Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

  • Printing: Lightroom and Photoshop

    Ok...so today I tried to run my first print since getting lightroom. Quick run down on my color management (although I am still learning on this subject as well). My monitor is calibrated with an eye one display. My camera (Canon 300D) is set to AdobeRGB profile. I am running an Epson 2400, Ilford Smooth Pearl paper, with the profile provided from Ilford, and have it set to have the printer determine colors. And I am running Lightroom and Photoshop CS2.
    I have been printing with this combonation beautifully for about a year now. I do have one small thing about my setup, even calibrated, my monitor is a little dark, so I must do a small curves adjustment on my final version to get the print to be perfect. I have accepted this (not the newest or best monitor) and just set an action to run before printing.
    So, today, I tried to print from Lightroom. The print came out WAY too dark...I mean, my blue sky is a dark purple...odd. So I said, well I need this print, let me move it to photoshop, drop the curve and print from there. Well...the blue came out blue, but the image is still a little dark...I will play with the curve again to see if I can get it right. I don't have a problem with doing this for now, but I am wondering why the images are darker then they used to be, even in photoshop.
    Also, can I create actions in Lightroom, something like develop presets that I can run AFTER I am done working on an image that we prep the document for print?
    Sorry for the long post...thanks for any help...

    So...you're using the canned profile from Ilford...and in Lightroom you've added that via "Other" correct? When you select that profile you are then using Lightroom color management and then you go into the Epson driver under Properties, Mode Custom and then select Off under Color Management, right? You've also selected the correct media that Ilford reccomends with the Pearl paper?
    If you hit print from there than that should take care of it. Note however that if you change the page template, it _WILL_ change the print output settings making you update to the profile again.
    So far, I get equal output results from Lightroom and Photoshop CS2/3 when using the same profile and printing under Mac or Win. So, if you are _NOT_ getting the same results, your settings are not equal-something somewhere is set incorrectly.

  • I only bought Lightroom and Photoshop subscription but it appears the cloud overwrote all my other old programs and is now demanding a new serial

    Hi,
    I joined the subscription service but ONLY purchased Lightroom and Photoshop.  I had other legally aquired adobe programs on my computer that I was perfectly happy with (dreamweaver - I olnly do the bare minimum of stuff with it, i write my own code mostly - therefore did not need an upgrade)...now it seems Adobe has taken it upon itself to update ALL of my programs to the newest versions and will not let me use any of my stuff until I pay for a new serial for ALL of it.  I can't even read a PDF all of a sudden, because i magically have the newest version of Acrobat, which I NEVER asked for....
    So they basically used my membership and HACKED my computer and updated software - I say hacked because these updates were without my permission...and now they are trying to force money out of me?????  This should be ILLEGAL!  this was a really really really crappy thing to do, since I DO NOT have the money to buy serials for all this other software.  THANKS A LOT FOR SCREWING ME.  would you please now HACK my computer again and fix this????  I should not be forced to update all my software if I DO NOT WANT TO!
    If Adobe does not remedy this I will cancel everything and find other stuff to use.  Too bad, because I prefer this software, but there is always another alternative...
    FIX THIS!!!!!

  • I need to change the storage hard drive for both lightroom and Photoshop from my C drive to F drive

    How do I change my storage drive from C to F in both lightroom and photoshop as I am running out of space on my C drive?

    Storage Drive ??  Photoshop.   What Platform and OS are you running.
    I use PC therefore Windows. When I thing about Application like Photoshop I know the are going to be files all over the place.  Windows like everything installed on the Boot disk.  I gave up the fight many years ago and let windows have it way when application are installed using an installer.  However besides the application files you have user files and I break user files down into to categories. Windows User files like applications settings, preferences, cashes, etc and user Data Files,  Images, text documents, PDF.   Applications like Photoshop also have add-ons an need swap space as well.  While all Windows default library reside on the C: drive you can add additional storage  to you document, music, picture and video libraries the are not on the c: Most of my user data file are actually on external ESATA drives or USB3 drives.  System files, Application Files, Paging, swapping and backup are on internal SSd and Fast Disk drive. Some of the folder that look like they are on C: are actually shortcut links to folders on other drives.

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

    ...save it as sRGB?
    Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
    Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
    I'll answer just this one little question.  Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
    You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
    The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway.  Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
    You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

  • Will Lightroom and Photoshop CC work with Indesign/Illustrator/etc from older versions of CS installed on my Mac?

    if I subscribe to the Photo plan, will Lightroom and Photoshop CC output work with Indesign/Illustrator/etc from older versions of CS installed on my Mac?

    I currently have premiere cs4 and cs5 installed and have had no problems. I have noted on the forums here that some people were reporting problems. So the only way to realy know is make the plunge. I'm running win 7 pro.

  • Updating to the cloud (Lightroom and photoshop) lightroom 5.7 already installed

    Hi !
    How do I update to the CC (lightroom and photoshop) if I already have lightroom 5.7 installed and I work my photos from an external hard drive.
    I have a macbook pro.
    Thanks

    >If I uninstall Lr 5.7 from my mac, do I have to reinport all my photos into the susscription Lr ?
    No. The photos are in a catalog file, not in the application so you shouldn't have to reimport. At most you need to point the CC Lightroom to your catalog file. The subscription LR is identical to the CC one, so there really is absolutely no reason to install the CC one. I would only install the CC one when LR 6 comes out.
