Lightroom and PS Elements Integration

I have:
Mac with OS X 10.7.3
LR 4.2
PS Elements 11 trial (just installed)
Despite trying various suggestions on the web, I cannot get LR to find PS Elements for "edit in". Also, when I set PS Elements as an "other editor", PS Elements opens - but the photo selected in Lightroom does not. (I get a blank/new image in PS Elements).
How to fix? I see this has been on ongoing problem. I have deleted preference plists, uninstalled and reinstalled, etc. to no avail.
How hard can it be to program LR to find PS Elements in the Applications folder?
TIA.

Victoria,
That undocumented trick would come in handy right about now because I can't get Lighroom 4.3 to see Photoshop Elements 11 as the main external editor.  At first it saw the copy of Photoshop CS6 Trial version that was installed, so I deleted it.  It then saw my old version of Elements 10 as the automatic/default/main external editor.  So I used the PSE 10 uninstaller to get rid of 10 AND I also uninstalled PSE 8.   Then LR 4.3 actually found Elements 3 and automatically set it as the default external editor.  So I deleted that.   I also unsinstalled Elements 11 and installed it again, but that didn't work.  I did try getting rid of
com.adobe.photoshopelements.plist
com.adobe.photoshop.elements.plist
but that didn't do anything.
How do I force LR to recognize the existence of PSE 11?
And yes, I did get it to work as an additional external editor, but I want PSE 11 to be recognized as the default external editor just as it was reconginzing all the others.
Thanks in advance.

    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.

  • How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

    How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

    Hi Palsaran,
    As i understood, your requirement is to POST data from UI to backend.
    The above code you given is not correct if you want to use model based implementation.
    In UI5 you don't need to do an explicit Ajax call, for which we can use Models like OData, JSON etc.
    For your JSON example, you can use like,
    var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
    var oData = "YOUR JSON DATA";
    oModel.setData(oData)
    oModel.loadData(yourURL/Entityset,"POST");
    For ref, you can use the below link

  • Using Lightroom and PS Elements

    I have been a Lightroom user since the beginning and have PSCS3 for when I need to do some more involved editing. (Not very often - probably 95% of my editing/adjustments are done in Lightroom exclusively, including my RAW conversions.)
    I have a friend who swears by PS Elements - which I have not used since I believe version 2. I played a bit on his computer and felt that probably everything that I use PSCS3 for I could also do in Elements. But I really don't need the Organizer - have already done all the importing/keywording in LR. So do if I decide to try out the trial version of PSE8:
    (1) Do I have to install the Organizer?
    (2) If I do have to install it, is there a way to bypass it - either from Windows or from Lightroom - and go straight to the Editor?
    (3) What will I be missing from PSCS if I start with Elements - aside from 16 bit editing, which I VERY rarely do?
    (4) Can Elements open any existing PSCS files I have?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Welcome to the world of PSE. I am glad that you are thinking of moving to PSE.
    Here are the responses to your query:
    1. Organizer and Editor are installed together on the machine, there is no way you can just install PSE Editor.
    2. Simple way to bypass Organizer, is to go to ProgramFiles\Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0\ folder and create a desktop shortcut of PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe on the desktop and invoke it directly in place of PSE Welcome Screen.
    3. In a nutshell, PSE is a subset of Ps CS3, so there will be some differences/limitations in PSE for sure. Say for e.g., there will be fewer adjustment layers, Pen tool and Patch tool aren't supported in PSE 6.0, Actions cannot be played(supported from E7 onwards), there will be no separate animation panel, etc.I would suggest you install PSE 8(current version) in trial and since you are less on edting side, so i think you will get what all limited editing functionality you strive for.
    4. Elements can open Ps CS3 files successfully with ease.
    Hope this helps.

  • Lightroom and Photoshop Elements 12 transfer/sharing problem'

    I'm new to Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 12.   I open a Lightroom image in Photoshop Elements 12 by using Photo-->Edit In--> PSE12.  I make a change in PSE12, and then "save."  I understand that I'm supposed to overwrite the default file name.  But, when I go back to LR, my PSE changes are not saved.  What am I doing wrong?

    I noticed the same problem when I upgraded to elements 12 in december. Also using LR 5.3 on mac running 10.8.5. When using the save command in PSE usually the saved file was not visible in LR. I posted in the forum then without any positive responses. As I worked the problem myself  I noticed that when saving from PSE if I used the "save as" command instead of the "save" command and then answered in the affirmative to overwrite the existing file the edits would save back to LR without fail. I have been using this technique for the last 6 weeks or so and haven't had any edits fail to return to LR. I have no idea why this would fix the problem as all the instructional material says not to use the save as command. I suspect it is a bug in PSE12 but because it's "only" elements no one at adobe is paying any attention. Anyway, try that and see if it solves your problem. It worked for me although I can't explain why.

  • How to install Lightroom and Photoshop Elements from my old pc to my new pc?

    I have a new pc and want to install Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop Elements 12 from my old pc to the new one.

    For LR here is a useful link:
    http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/
    There is also a video tutorial which covers moving a LR catalog to a new computer:
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-migrate-lr-to-an other-computer/
    For Elements you can simply install the application and then set up the Elements Editor for external editing in the LR Library prefs. I’m assuming you won’t be using Oranizer as well as LR. That can lead to confusion and broken links unless you are very disciplined.
    If you do intend to use Organizer the method is backup and restore, starting with an Organizer backup on the old PC.

  • Catalog sharing between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

    Can the catalog be shared between Lightroom 2 and Photoshop Elements 10?

    Lightroom and PSE cannot share catalogs (although the same image can be in both)
    PSE catalogs can be upgraded to Lightroom catalogs, but then changes made in Lightroom are not reflected in PSE. You cannot go the other way, Lightroom catalogs cannot be converted to PSE catalogs.
    Lastly, I strongly recommend that you use only a single "organizing" application. The idea of using two (or more) different "organizing" applications will lead to confusion and errors and lack of synchronization.

  • Bridge / Lightroom and Premier Elements

    Am I missing something obvious? I am new to using Premier Elements, but use Lightroom, Phototoshop. In Design every day. So I use LR to manage my photographic files and Bridge for everything else.
    I capture video on my camera in AVCHD, so Lightroom can't import or manage the files, despite the claims that it now supports video. Bridge doesn't seem to know of Premier Elements existence and instead I am expected to use yet another browser designed to work with PS Elements. Is their a work around for this, can Bridge be made to work with Premier Elements so I don't have to waste my time learning an entirely new management system. Seems a bit barmy to me that Bridge can't work with an Adobe product.

    I know of no way to get Bridge to see and interface with PrElements. I use Bridge for most of my organizing, as I also use InDesign, PS, AI and PrPro. If I am using PrE, I just do a Get Media, though those might have been "organized" in Bridge.
    Good luck,

  • Link between lightroom and photoshop elements

    Hello.
    A few days ago I installed photoshop elements 6 on my Leopard 10.5.3 instance. I have also Lightroom 1.4.1 installed, but he/she doesn't seem to detect the elements installation. I can't do an edit in photoshop.
    With which mechanism the Lightroom program detects if there is any photoshop installed?
    Should I use the alternative editor path to call Elements 6? And if so, will I have the same functionality then?
    Is the direct link only there for CSx?
    In order to test in a "clean" environment, I have made a fresh installation of Leopard, Photoshop Elements and Lightroom on an external disk, but even then Lightroom doesn't detect Elements 6.
    However, if I install Photoshop Elements 4, everything works fine.
    Any help is much appreciated!!
    Marc.
    PS: this tech note doesn't help me - www.adobe.com/go/kb401629.

    Kenny,
    1) There are known problems of LR not recognizing Photoshop CS / PSE automatically as present. Uninstalling and reinsalling PSE might help.
    If now successful, and if you're on a windows system, adding the following key to your registry might solve the problem:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe]
    @="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Photoshop Elements 8.0\\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Photoshop Elements 8.0"
    2) You can have as many external editors as you like. Go to Preferences/External Editing, setup the executable and format you want to pass to it, then do a "Save Current Settings as New Preset". This will establish an additonal external editor for LR.

  • Colors are different between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

    I have a new monitor and I have the SyderPro4 calbration software.  My monitor is the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM.  When calibrated with the Syder my colors are different when I go into different programs.  The same photo looks different in Lightroom than it does in Photoshop Elements. When I export the picture from Lightroom to Elements the picture becomes very orange. I have already talked to Dell and to Datacolor about my issue and they both are telling me this shouldn't be happening. When I uninstall my calibration software my problem goes away, and the colors of the images stay consistant between the two programs. Does anybody have any advice to what maybe wrong?

    I am having this problem too.
    my site www.redsmartie.com looks fine on everyone elses computer but on mine the red background #660000 is not displaying right on the jpg images
    see here http://homepage.mac.com/redsmartie/colourerror.png
    I have rgb colour profiles managed by a Pantone Huey device and haven't previously noted a problem. This was added recently so I recreated the images which corrected things on my screen but made the red around the images too dark for everyone else.
    The images were created in Photoshop so I changed the photoshop profile back to CinemaDisplay that it previously was on and now everyone else is ok but my screen shows the red around the images much to light.
    I really need some help with this as its a disaster waiting to happen on work I do for other people, especially if I'm producing work that looks right on my setup but is wrong for everyone else!

    How do you export to Elements? Directly from Lightroom? If so, what profile are you choosing? What resolution are you specifying? I normally use proPhoto RGB which is the profile that LR more or less uses internally and 330.

  • Lightroom and CS4 photomerge integration problem

    I've tried using the photomerge integration feature from lightroom 2.0 but seem unable to get it to work when the files to be merged do not reside on the main hard drive.
    Lightroom seems to pass the information to CS4 correctly as I get the initial photomerge dialog in CS4 with the correct list of files. When I click 'OK' nothing happens.
    I've done some experimenting and when the files to be merged are located on the main hard drive, it works fine.
    I don't know if it makes a difference but the files are Canon RAW files.
    Has anyone else seen this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it aside from moving the files?

    I want to edit Lightroom photos in PSE-13 (merge to pano) but it says that "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor could not be Launched."  I see a lot of people have had this issue, but I don't have any reason to believe that there is one KNOWN solution.  Even two photos won't merge in PSE-13.  can you help?

  • Difference of Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

    I'm using PSE5 since some years, starting with PSE2 already. On the first look LR seams to have more or less the same features as PSE, but better suited for professional users. What would be the arguments for changing from PSE to LR and is there a comparison available of this to products? Has someone experience migrating from PSE to

    My oppinion, as a "former" PSE7 user:
    The library in LR (organizer in PSE) offers much more functions like filtering, collections, smart collections, compare view, ...
    The development workflow in LR is much more logical, by having all the different development tools in one panel, one after the other in the sequence in which one usually goes thru changing a picture
    The way of non-destructive editing is a big advantage over changing and saving the image after change. One has to get used to this though, because it's a different concept
    One big thing PSE does not have is the adjustment brush, I've been using Nik Viveza for that in PSE, which I rarely use anymore now.
    All together, LR to me seems much more straight forward and logical to work with pictures than PSE. I've been using LR for 3 months now and I really love working with it, it's well worth the money. I rareley ever go back into PSE again, unless performing functions that LR does not have, like scene cleaner, Photomerge panorama etc.
    I've invested quite some time watching LR videos to understand how to work with it.

  • I want to sell my Canon EOS 6D with bundled Lightroom and Elements. May the purchaser use the bundle

    I want to sell my Canon EOS 6D with bundled Lightroom and Premiere Elements. May the purchusar use the bundled software?

    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
    That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
    Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
    It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
    Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
    Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
    Creative Suite 6
    Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR
