Lightroom 5 presentation

Hi, I'm a italian photographer and I use lightroom 5 with Mac Pro. I have one problem with presentation: In the presentation panel selected "export file video" the outcome is video black, even with preview in lightroom the video is black but the sound is ok.... Why? With lightroom 4 this problem not exist!...
Thank you and Sorry for my english

Hi,
Was your slideshow displayd correctly? Did you try to open the file with a diffent player? (e.g. Vlc). Can you show us screenshots of your slideshow / export configuration?

Wow, maybe this is what Schorr meant by "VERY soon" in this post in this thread on March 10th.
"Actually, Apple has annouced that Aperture support for the Pentax K10D, K100D, and K110D will be available very soon.
We will also be adding support for 11 other RAW formats from different cameras, including the Nikon D40, Leica Digilux 3, Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1, Samsung GX-1L, and seven of the Leaf Aptus and Valeo models.
Can't publish a release date, but this update will be coming VERY soon.

Editing non-raw image files in Adobe Photoshop

Hi,
I am currently digging into the world of Lightroom and setting up a work flow which in my case needs to include editing non-raw files in Adobe Photoshop.
Please bear in mind that I am quite new to Lightroom so I am not sure I have found all shortcuts and settings to manipulate.
I will explain what I trying to do (and why) and hope that the community can comment and help put if possible.
I myself shoot almost everything in RAW format, and I have been using Photoshop (PS) and Camera Raw (ACR) for some years now. I am now on Photoshop CS6.
But now the amount of images to handle requires a CMS, so I went for Lightroom 4 - hoping/believing that I would find an effective and efficient work flow integration between the two Adobe products.
But I am more and more also helping others to enhance their images, and I most often get jpg files as image source.
I am used to using PS layers, filters, smart objects etc extensively to do what I want to do.
OK, I admin that I already use ACR quite a lot, and sometimes even as the only tool even for jpg images.
I have began diving/snorkeling with friends and often the images we bring back home is in jpg format, and so far I still believe that the best image "restoration" can be done in Photoshop using adjustment layers, channel mixing and filters to get satisfactory results.
So now on to my concerns and issues:
1) Lightroom user interface efficiency - "Edit in"
When I want to edit a jpg image in Photoshop I :
action
comment
- left click image to select it
ok, I agree this is needed
- right click image to bring up context menu
ok, I agree this is needed
- move cursor to "Edit in", and wait for another context menu
ok, ...
- click "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6"
Yes that's want I want
- Lightroom presents the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop CS6" selection menu.
Yes I know, I saw it the last
nnn times I did it
- if I need option "Edit a Copy" or "Edit Orginal" I move cursor again, left click to select ,
   move cursor to Edit and left click
- and finally Lightroom sends the jpg image to Photoshop as a jpg image
No, I want a tiff file since that
is what I have set up in
preferences
OK, I know that I can also use the keyboard instead of mouse for this, but the number of actions required from my side is pretty much unchanged.
For a quick working, Lightroom and PS skilled person, this is just annoying.
Is this effecient?     Well it depends. For Lightroom beginners this is good. But for me it is a true annoying obstacle
2) Lightroom "Edit in" - is it effective
Is this effective?     I say no.      I have specified in preferences that I want PS to receive a TIFF file in Adobe RGB 1998 color space
                                                   Also, I cannot change to TIFF in PS without losing the link between the two images. (If I do, the new TIFF file is not imported by Lightroom, so I have to that manually)
I have found out that I can choose the path "Select image - select "Open as Smartobject in Adobe Photoshop".
This will give me a tiff file, and when saved in PS the jpg and tiff files are linked and Lightroom has automatically imported the tiff file into the Catalog.
What I need / what I would like to know / what I would like to have:
* Is there a (customizable) keyboard shortcut that enables me to: Select Picture + Use shortcut - and then I end up in Photoshop (with the Edit option I use 90% of the time) ?
* Is there a preference that I can set so that jpg images also are opened as tiff files in Photoshop per default?
* Is there a way to select multiple images and launch them all in Photoshop (and keeping the link between the jpg and tiff files) ?
* I would like a preference setting allowing me to choose that any new file coming back from Photoshop (after "Edit in" ) is written to a sub-folder, or to a specific folder set by me.
   This would align with my work flow for jpg handling, where the jpg is the "original" and the tiff file is what will eventually end up as image "master" (from where I print, or produce web / HDTV jpg's).
* Is there a way to automatically launch a Photoshop Action on the file coming from Lightroom?
   This would also help in my work flow. E.g. I have currently 100 jpg's and avi files which are UW (under water shots) and the adjustment layers I build are always the same (to start with).
   Of course, I can launch the Action once I am in Photohop - but again, doing 1-5 times is ok, doing it more than 100 times ...
* I am skilled computer programmer - can I use Lightroom SDK to write plug-ins to achieve the above enhancements ?

Bosse W

* Is there a (customizable) keyboard shortcut that enables me to: Select Picture + Use shortcut - and then I end up in Photoshop (with the Edit option I use 90% of the time) ?
-- The keyboard shortcut Command/Ctrl+E will perform steps 2-4 in your above list. You only have to click the Edit button, as the last choice (Edit Original, Edit Copy, Edit Copy with LR adjustments) will be remembered.
* Is there a preference that I can set so that jpg images also are opened as tiff files in Photoshop per default?
-- No, a JPEG in Lightroom will always open as a JPEG in Photoshop. If you have made changes to the file that are not supported by the JPEG format (e.g. added a layer) when you go to save the file, it will be saved as either a TIFF or PSD, based on the preference in Lightroom.
* Is there a way to select multiple images and launch them all in Photoshop (and keeping the link between the jpg and tiff files) ?
-- Yes, select all the files you want to edit, and use the keyboard shortcut, menu command, or right-click context menu command.
* I would like a preference setting allowing me to choose that any new file coming back from Photoshop (after "Edit in" ) is written to a sub-folder, or to a specific folder set by me.
   This would align with my work flow for jpg handling, where the jpg is the "original" and the tiff file is what will eventually end up as image "master" (from where I print, or produce web / HDTV jpg's).
-- No, there is no automatic way to do this. If you use the Edit a Copy method, the copy is created instantly in the same folder as the original.
* Is there a way to automatically launch a Photoshop Action on the file coming from Lightroom?
   This would also help in my work flow. E.g. I have currently 100 jpg's and avi files which are UW (under water shots) and the adjustment layers I build are always the same (to start with).
   Of course, I can launch the Action once I am in Photohop - but again, doing 1-5 times is ok, doing it more than 100 times ...
-- Yes and No, this is not something that can be setup in Lightroom, but you can set it up in Photoshop using the Script Events Manager.
* I am skilled computer programmer - can I use Lightroom SDK to write plug-ins to achieve the above enhancements ?
-- Yes: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshoplightroom.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshoplightroom.html

How do I clean up my "Recent Catalogs" list?

I have catalogs listed that don't exist, don't open in LR3, etc. ... it's a mess. I want to remove specific items, or clean it all up and start over. How do I edit/clean this list??

OK, wait just a second.
"I have catalog files that do exist on the file system but I'd rather not have them listed." says nothing about listed catalog files that don't exist, so does not technically contradict what I initially stated. If you're going to get all pedantic, then get it right.
So, your confusion of what I said makes it OK to accuse me of lying? What brought that on? I'm not lying, I'm confused, and so are you. I asked a polite question and didn't attack anyone. Your accusation is abusive, and has been reported.
Back to the topic at hand. This isn't about what catalog files I do or don't have on my system, it's about the list of recent catalogs that Lightroom presents me. So, it does appear that moving or deleting or renaming the catalog files that Lightroom points to in its list of recent catalogs will result in Lightroom not displaying that catalog file in the list. That seems unnecessarily difficult in my opinion. Photoshop has a "clear recent" item at the bottom of the File -> Open Recent listing, so it seems that Lightroom as an Adobe Photoshop family product would have more continuity if the same were added to Lightroom.
Thanks Ian for the workaround.
Hal - loosen up.

Lightroom 1.2: XMP-bug still present and some other things

* I just upgraded to 1.2, but the XMP-bug is still present. When I turn on autowrite XMP LR starts using 50% (1 of 2 cores) of my CPU for quite a long time (15+ minutes) after startup. During that time the interface is somewhat sluggish (probably because of the lack of multi threading).
This behavior was also present in LR1.1. Turn off autoxmp and the cpu-usage will drop to 1-2% within a few moments of starting LR. Turn it on, and it will use your cpu for quite a long time (29.000 photos in my DB).
* One other thing I still notice: when using identity plates for printing, the identity plate doesn't rotate with the photo when switch from a landscape to a portrait photo (auto rotate is on to make things a lot easier). The print module is one of the greatest things in LR, but this still annoys me)
* Decent support for multi core CPU's is still lacking it seems. I have to run two export batches simultaneously to get my CPU to 100% cpu usage. Maybe it's an idea to split one export batch into several smaller ones so the can be processed at the same time using both cores.

1.2 fixes a bug in the auto-write mechanism that severely effected the performance of auto-write when files with changes were offline. Unfortunately, we didn't have time in the cycle to drastically enhance performance of the XMP auto-write mechanism for making large batches of changes or toggling the option on and off. The Lightroom team is aware of these issues and is working to resolve them for a later release.
The wording of the download page is pretty obscure. For a more accurate, detailed review of the changes in 1.2, please refer to the blog post at http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/ . For a better understanding of ways to use the auto-write mechanism in the interim, check out my post at

I am using an epson projector to present images downloaded to a thumb drive. I renames the images on export to "untitled 101, 102 etc. The projector will not recognize the sequence. It wants 001, 002etc. If I try to start 001 lightroom changes it to 1, 2

I am using an epson projector to present images downloaded to a thumb drive. I rename the images on export to "untitled 101, 102 etc. The projector will not recognize the sequence. It wants 001, 002etc. If I try to start 001 lightroom changes it to 1, 2 ... 10,11 etc. How can I export and rename starting with 001?

The projector may actually be processing a 3 digit number in numerical sequence. Have you tried your export/collection in order sequence starting with 101? Assuming you have fewer than 899 images you should be OK. (I had to fiddle with export sequence for a display frame which used the file date and time for sequence!)

If I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements, I can't seem to re-import it back into Lightroom. If I open the relevant folder on my Mac the image is present, but Lightroom just doesn't "see" it at all.

For some reason, my (Mac) Lightroom 5 won't recognise images in folders on my Mac that I've edited in either Photoshop Elements or Perfect Effects 8. If I've previously imported images from a specific folder, Lightroom will show these as greyed-out images (as normal) but will not show other images I've subsequently saved in that folder. Similarly, if I, say, select three images from Lightroom to use the Photomerge option in Elements, the subsequent saved image won't be recognised by Lightroom.
I've tried moving locations, saving in umpteen different formats etc., but the problem persists. No problem importing existing images from either SD card or old folders on the computer.
It's very frustrating!

Ah-Ha! Right, think I've worked out the problem!
When I save a photo from Photoshop, I often place it on the desktop with a view to e-mailing it or posting it somewhere on the internet. I've just looked at the file that was supposedly saved as a .psd, but under "properties" it has no file extension. So I added the .psd and bingo, up it popped in the LR import window! I've since gone into Photoshop preferences & ticked it to add a file extension. That's really odd - I've never deselected that option but, hey ho, mystery solved.
Many thanks for your patience Mr Paige, I should have looked at this before. Put it down to advancing senility...

Lightroom 5: start button in the presentation module doesn't work properly

Hi. I purchased LR 5 last week but the start button in the presentation mudule doesn't work properly. I get a black screen and nothing happens. I have to press the esc button several times to return to LR.Can you help me please
Regards Eugene

start button in the presentation mudule
Can you clarify?
There is no start button nor a presentation module.
Do you mean the Play button in the Slideshow module?
Which operating system?

Lack of LAB and CMYK support in Lightroom is plain dumb

There is a lack of consistency in Lightroom if it allows you to elect to edit an image in Photoshop but then it can't follow through and display either a LAB PSD or a CMYK PSD. Both these file types are widely used by Pro-photographers. Afterall there is a whole bunch of stuff that's easier to do in Lab or CMYK rather than in RGB. The lightroom development team seem to suggest that photographers shouldn't be doing anything more advanced than Lightroom can handle. Well if you look at pre-print sharpening Lightroom is still awful - LOW/MED/HIGH just doesn't cut it and isn't at anything like pro level. To get any sensible preprint sharpening you've almost gotta go to photoshop. For many images sharpening is best done on the L channel of Lab (along with a whole bunch of other adjustment layer corrections). Most people like to keep these layers and so returning a master file to RGB just isn't an option. Sure there is no further need for editing such an image in Lightroom, but as part of Lightroom's function is DAM then its fairly essential to be able to at least preview all your image files - to know where they are and what you have.
Its just no good boasting about Lightroom's ability to search through images using metadata etc if ultimately it can't find and display your -finished- image versions 'cos they just happen to be Lab or CMYK PSDs.
If Adobe Lightroom team are promoting Lightroom as a pro-photographers tool them you gotta listen to how pro-photographers work and not get lost in your own ideology based rhetoric of keeping Lightroom pure. I haven't yet found two pro-photographers with identical "pure" workflows.
Come on Adobe - we don't want to edit them - we just want to be able to preview them in Library ;-)

Have to say as a working professional who earns his keep from doing raw conversions, proof prints, cutouts etc Lightroom's lack of CMYK support is very much a pain in the a**. I'm not asking for a full set of CMYK editing tools - I've got those in Photoshop thanks very much.
What I am asking for is at least the ability to round trip files from Lightroom into Photoshop, convert to CMYK and reimport the CMYK version into the catalog alongside the RGB file from which it originated and then to allow me to open the original CMYK file back into Photoshop without any tweaks being applied by Lightroom. This would allow Lightroom to really fill the role of a DAM in our studio and allow us much simpler workflow tracking than at present. As things stand we have to save the files in separate locations from our RGB versions on our server and then catalog them using another application.
Come on Adobe please listen to your professional user base as I know I'm not alone in these requiements and the studios that I've shown Lightroom to have all ended up asking the question "What about the final CMYK versions?"
BTW I'm in full agreement with Ian on the other points and without sounding snotty to Don - who I have read many interesting and sensible posts from - maybe if you don't want to cover this ground again just walk a different direction and leave those of us who do NEED this feature to discuss the best way of implenting it. I have also sent this request to Adobe so I'm not just a moaner who sit's here doing nothing about the issues that affect me.
Cheers for now.

Cannot Use Camera Raw out of LightRoom 4

Below is a lengthy dialogue that I just had with Tech Support via Chat regarding accessing Camera Raw directly out of LightRoom 4. The end result is that it can't be done. LightRoom 4 has it's own "Develop" section and if you try to "Edit in: PhotoShop 6" the RAW image will bypass Camera Raw and open directly into PhotoShop. Something that I was surprised at and frustrated by. I thought for sure I was missing somehting.
I do not recommend buying LightRoom other than a means of "organizing" our images. I simply use Bridgne and am able to open a Canon "CR2" Raw file directly into Camera Raw and then after making my adjustments directly into PhotoShop. LightRoom lacks Layers, Paths and Channels and a host of other wonderful adjustment / manipulation capabilites not found in LightRoom.
So, if you are like me and want to use Camera Raw prior to going to PhotoShop then LightRoom will not get you there. I spent a tremendous amount of time researching it thinking I must be missing something and then I contacted Support via Chat and we went through changing %AppData%, which only resulted in me losing all my PhotoShop Preferences! A total waste of the Technician's time and mine.
I share the below chat with you only to show you the ludicrous amount of time wasted when the answer remains the same: YOU CANNOT ACCESS CAMERA RAW DIRECTLY OUT OF LIGHTROOM 4
Thank you for choosing Adobe. A representative will be with you shortly. Your estimated wait time is 0 minute(s) and 3 second(s) or longer as there are 1 customer(s) in line ahead of you.
You are now chatting with 'Soumyadeep'
Soumyadeep: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Soumyadeep: Hi Fred!
Fred: Hi there my friend. I am trying to use Lightroom 4, but frankly am not happy with the way it handles RAW files.
Fred: I cannot open a Canon ".cr2" RAW file directly into Camera Raw from LightRoom.
Soumyadeep: I have received your query. Please allow me a moment to verify your account and to review the details of your request.
Fred: Thanks. I have also gone through all of the information I can find in the "Help Menu" looking up everything. Can't find a thing on LightRoom 4. I did not have this problem with Lightroom 3.
Fred: The RAW file that it references is "DNG".
Soumyadeep: I understand that you are unable to preview cr2 raw images in Lightroom 4, am I correct?
Fred: No, I can preview it, but when i want to open it the only choice I am given is CS6. I cannot open it into Camera Raw and it actually choses a completely different and inappropriate plug in from NIK Software.
Soumyadeep: Thank you for confirming.
Fred: I know I can change that in the "Prefernces" in Lightroom 4 but I can't find Camera Raw to select as the choice.
Soumyadeep: I will be glad to assist you with this.
Soumyadeep: May I have the serial number of the product please?
Fred: I just checked again and it is set to a NIK Software plugin as an external software to open the file.
Fred: Yes, let me get it for you.

Fred: So, I go to "Develop" it will open in Camera Raw 7.01?
Fred: Frankly, this is the reason that I have just been using Bridge is because of the seemingly lack of coherent connection between LightRoom 4 and PhotoShop CS6.
Soumyadeep: I would like to inform you that you will not have any separate camera raw plugins for Lightroom. Since Lightroom will not require a camera raw converter.
Fred: At least I can open into Camera Raw and make the necessary adjustments and it will load in to PhotoShop.
Fred: OK, then why when opening a "RAW" image out of LightRoom does it go directly to CS6 bypassing Camera Raw?
Fred: Not allowing all of the wonderful adjustment toos, particularly the new ones in Camera Raw. I just don't understand the disconnect.
Soumyadeep: Fred, may I know which product you are referring as "CS6"?
Fred: If I had wanted to process all my images in LightRoom I would not have wasted my money on CS6. Does that make sense?
Fred: PhotoShop CS6
Fred: Or PhotoShop 6 Extended
Soumyadeep: Thank you for the information.
Fred: The question still remains "Why does LightRoom 4 only recongize DNG files and not other RAW file formats and not allow them to be opened into Camera Raw?"
Fred: I don't want to process my images in LightRoom 4. I want to catalog and sort them. I want to process the RAW files from Canon in Camera Raw and then move on to PhotoShop 6 Extended.
Fred: So, what you are telling me is that I can't open a RAW file in LightRoom into Camera Raw. Simply stated.
Soumyadeep: Fred, I can understand your concern. Lightroom will not require a camera raw converter.
Soumyadeep: May I have the name of the camera model you are referring?
Fred: Two camera models: EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 60D
Soumyadeep: Please so that I can check further and try to troubleshoot your issue.
Soumyadeep: .Thank you for the information.
Fred: Both are listed as supported by Adobe PhotoShop and Camera Raw. I found that in my research.
Soumyadeep: Okay.
Soumyadeep: Please close all the Adobe applications.
Fred: I simply want to go from LightRoom 4 directly to Camera Raw 7.01 and then onto PhotoShop 6 Extended. Seems pretty straight forward and logical to me. Then again I'm not Adobe.
Fred: OK, just a moment and I'll do that.
Soumyadeep: Click on Start.
Soumyadeep: Fred, may I know what operating system you are using?
Fred: I am working on Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
Fred: I have closed all applications from Adobe.
Soumyadeep: Thank you for the information.
Soumyadeep: Click on Start.
Soumyadeep: Just type %Appdata% in the search box and hit the enter key.
Fred: Ok, Im pretty computer savy so just tell me where you want to go.
Soumyadeep: Double click on Adobe folder.
Fred: Done
Soumyadeep: In that folder you will have a folder CameraRaw. Please rename the folder as CameraRawold.
Fred: Done
Soumyadeep: In that folder you will have a folder Adobe Photoshop CS6. Please rename the folder as Adobe Photoshop CS6old
Soumyadeep: After renaming the images please close the page and try to open a raw file and let me know the exact result.
Fred: Done
Fred: Just a moment. I have renamed CameraRawold and Adobe6Old. i am going to navigate to my external drive and click on a RAW File
Soumyadeep: Okay.
Soumyadeep: Let me know the status.
Fred: It is opening PhotoShop 6 Extended.
Fred: I can change the properties of the file to open in another program if that is where we are going.
Fred: It also created an error that stated that it recognized graphic software that is not completely supported and PhotoShop is not opening normally.
Fred: Given a little more time it opened in Camera Raw.
Soumyadeep: Fred, once more step you need to perform as you got an error regarding graphic software.
Soumyadeep: Please try to work on the Camera Raw and let me know it is working fine or not.
Fred: And I lost my presets.
Fred: OK, where does this leave us?
Fred: With regards to LightRoom 4?
Soumyadeep: Fred, you wanted to open the raw images in Camera raw option instead of Photoshop CS6, right?
Fred: Camera Raw appears to be functiong fine.
Soumyadeep: Great!
Soumyadeep: Please close all the Adobe application.
Soumyadeep: Re launch Photoshop and type CNTRL+ K.
Soumyadeep: Let me know once you are done.
Fred: Checking the "CR2" files out of Canon the dafault to open is with PhotoShop 6
Fred: Ok, let me close all of them.
Fred: OK, closed sir.
Soumyadeep: Please navigate to Performance tab.
Fred: "Performance Tab" in what program?
Soumyadeep: Re launch Photoshop and type CNTRL+ K
Soumyadeep: A new window will pop up "Preference"
Fred: Just a second it is opening. Thanks for help.
Fred: I am now at the Prefernces box. Performance Tab
Soumyadeep: You are welcome.
Soumyadeep: Correct.
Fred: OK, I'm in Preferences
Soumyadeep: Please let me know Use Graphics Processor is checked or unchecked.
Fred: It is checked. I do know that on this machine that the graphics processor is not fully supported due to a lack of a separte video card.
Soumyadeep: Okay. Please do check once that the graphic drives are updated or not.
Soumyadeep: Fred, I hope now your are able to open the raw images in camera raw as you were referring?
Fred: Just a second. Driver software is up to date.
Fred: Let me open LightRoom 4 and see where it goes. Just a second.
Soumyadeep: Sure.
Fred: Lightroom is taking a long time to open now.
Fred: Now I'm getting the message that it is not responding.
Fred: OK, it finally opened. Just a second.
Soumyadeep: Okay.
Soumyadeep: Please let me know the result.
Fred: In light room when I select "Edit In PhotoShop 6" it is going directly to Photoshop 6 and not opening Camera Raw. Still.
Fred: So, my friend. We are still back to the original question and now I have to reload all of my preferences lost due to the change in AppData. LOL!
Fred: I guess I can organize all I ant in LightRoom and still use Bridge to edit and work on my images.
Fred: Sorry! Organize all I want and still edit out of Bridge.
Soumyadeep: Fred, I am sorry to inform you that when you will open the images from Lightroom it will not require the camera raw and also when you will try to open the images in other software from Lightroom it will directly open in that software. Since Lightroom itself works as a Came

Jim, thank you for an excellent responce. I truthfully had researched the "Help" section on LightRoom and PhotoShop and found nothing that even remotely resembled your straight forward and easy to follow directions. After upgrading to CS6 and LightRoom 4 I am delighted with all of the new features that Adobe created in PhotoShop. I'm not sure that LightRoom 4 was as great an advancement as PhotoShop itself.
I am certainly going to give your solution a try and see how it works out for me. I concur that I probably do not fully understand and appreciate the relationship between the two programs. Today was my attempt of gaining a better insight to that relationship. Thank you for your response!

Apple TV - with Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop Elements

With Apple Aperture being phased out and iPhoto being replaced, are the adobe products a good alternative if you use Apple TV for much of your photo viewing? Of the two Adobe products not sure which is the closest match to being an Aperture alternative. Do any of you have experience using these products in conjunction with Apple TV ?

Neither of the products can publish directly to Apple TV, at present. Apple TV can take photos supplied from a folder, in addition to photos from Aperture, so that may work.
Also, Apple TV can take photos from shared photo streams, but neither of the Adobe products can publish to a photo stream. So it's a bit messy.
Of the two Adobe products, the closest functionality-wise to Aperture is Lightroom. Both products are aimed at the same photo editing set, so it's probably the best replacement.
Going forward, Aperture and iPhoto will be replaced by the Photos app, which should have good cloud integration. My gut is that the best way going forward to get stuff on the Apple TV (it already has a Photos app, as does iOS), will be via the Photos app on OS X. So what I'm planning to do is to take the photos I want to see on Apple TV, and export versions of those from Lightroom and import them (as appropriately sized JPEGs) into Photos. But that's not possible yet.

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.

Can't find IPTC metadata after Aperture export into Lightroom

Hi all,
I'm sure you've already worked through this pain, so maybe you'll have some insight for me:
I am exporting approximately 25,000 images from Aperture 2.1.4 and importing them into Lightroom 4. I started working with my small projects of about 300 images to test. From Aperture, I exported the Master files with the Sidecar (IPTC4.XMP) files. [My masters are a mix of .jpgs and .NEF, and I read that the jpgs don't always carry the meta data through]. I successfully imported the master files into Lightroom and ran the "Read Metadata from File" command. I also exported the keywords file from Aperture and imported those into Lightroom as well.
Prior to exporting, I edited one file in Aperture by entering "test caption", "test location", "test keyword", "test copyright" etc. into several of the IPTC fields. These fields are NOT appearing in the equivalent Lightroom fields. I checked the .XMP file (using text edit) and it does contain the correct "test values". I am getting all of the EXIF metadata, but none of my custom values.
Is it as simple as not looking in the right place in Lightroom for my values?

John, and Brent -
Yes, thank you, you were both right. Here is an updated screenshot showing the image in both applications, with the metadata where I expected it. The trick, in my case, was to follow "Method 1" in the link above, to write the IPTC data into the .jpgs. I'll use the sidecar method for the .NEFs, probably. Also, expanding the fields proved that the keyword was present. I'm sure I can mess around with the Display Metadata options from Default to other things. All well; heroes to the rescue!
Regards,
Grace

Creative Cloud hat Lightroom 5 nicht entfernt und stattdessen Lightroom CC dazu installiert - kann ich die Alte löschen?

Hallo zusammen,
meine Frage steht schon in der Überschrift. Ich nutze einen iMac mit Yosemite.
Nachdem ich heute die aktuellen Updates über die Creative Cloud bezogen habe, hatte ich auf einmal neben meiner Adobe Lightroom 5 - Version eine weitere Lightroom CC - Version. Diese wurde ja vor kurzem released.
Ich bin ein wenig irritiert, denn unter Windows war ich es gewohnt, dass Lightroom nach einem großen VersionsUpdate automatisch die alte Version entfernt hat, was hier offenbar nicht passiert ist. Warum das?
Kann ich die Lightroom 5 - Version bedenkenlos deinstallieren, ohne wichtige Daten zu verlieren?
Wenn ja, wie werde ich die alte Version vollständig wieder los, denn die Creative Cloud bietet mir keine Deinstallations-Option (ausgegraut) dafür an.
Über Hilfe wäre ich dankbar.
Mfg

LR 5.7 does not have uninstaller file , you can simply trash it from Applications folder.
Also if you wish , you may back Lightroom catalog , it will be present under Pictures folder on your Mac.
