Lightroom Does not Find Photoshop

I just installed Lightroom and have been toying with it.
I have Photoshop CS2 installed in the default location, but in Lightroom, under Edit > Preferences, in the External Editors Tab, it states "Edit in Adobe Photoshop (not found)." The option to Edit in Photoshop under Photo is greyed out.
Is there any way I can tell Lightroom where Photoshop is located?
As it is now, I have set up my Additional External Editor as Photoshop, but I am unsure if it is maxamizing compatibility when I save the file, and I'd really rather know why it did not find Photoshop on the install or first run?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Check out 'Lightroom does not recognize Photoshop CS2 - Windows' under 'Compatibility Issues' at

  • Lightroom does not open photoshop using  "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

    I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command. 
    Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them.  The
    “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
    Is there a way to fix this?  I use this feature frequently. 

    In reply to DdeGannes:
    What’s broken?  --  The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
    Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
    Was it working before?  Yes.
    What happens if you click? -  Nothing.
    Do you get an error message?  - No.

  • Lightroom does not recognize Photoshop CS2

    I installed on my notebook and all is well.
    However, I installed on my desktop and Lightroom does not see that Photoshop CS2 is installed.
    I'm sure a full re-install of CS2 then Lightroom would fix it...but I'm hoping for a less painful way of fixing this?
    Thanks!

    Ok - right after posting the message, I found my own answer back on the beta messageboard.
    Here's how to fix it:
    1) Run regedit.exe from start menu->run
    2) Look for this folder:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\photoshop.exe
    In that folder, there should be a key "Path" and its value should be the folder where Photoshop CS2 (or any other Photoshop version) is installed."
    My registry didn't have that folder, so I created it and added a "Path" key with the value being the path to Photoshop CS2: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\

  • The Lightroom external editor does not find Photoshop CC. What is the fix.

    I have deleted the old preferences file and relaunched Lightroom with no success. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5.2 with no success. What is the fix.

    Have you gone to LR preferences or just right clicked on the image?
    I think if you go to LR preferences>external editing, you will successfully be able to enter a custom preset to PS CC, which should then be available when you right click.
    Wortht a try...

  • 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.

  • Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

    Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched.  I had to manually locate.  Is there a fix for this?

    I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
    You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
    If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

  • Lightroom does not recognize the raw format of files loading from my Nikon AW1 and loads them as jpegs. I know there are updates that would allow this camera to be recognized as shooting raw but I haven't been able to work it out. Any help out there?

    Lightroom does not recognize the raw files (necs?) coming in from my Nikon AW1. It loads them as jpegs. I know it is possible to update Lightroom so it knows my Nikon but I can't get it to work.
    I would like files to be loaded as .dng.

    update by downloading the files directly and then applying them for lr 4 and earlier,  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • Lightroom does not show up in my Adobe CC app

    Originally I installed Photoshop CC, Bridge CC and Lightroom CC on a clean iMac using the Adobe CC app.
    However now Lightroom does not show up in the installed apps in Adobe CC. Instead it shows it in the list of adobe programs with "Install" by it.
    I think this is why its not telling me it needs upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 hence I cant use the new Lightroom Mobile.
    How can I get it to show up in the Adobe CC app ?
    thanks

    try signing out and then back in to your cc app.
    if that fails, follow solution 2 here, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html

  • Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

    Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

    Unfortunately, importing from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is harder than it should be but there is an efficient solution.  The secret to creating a new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Catalog from an existing iPhoto image library is to download and install the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12. This sounds completely bizarre, but Photoshop Lightroom lacks the ability to import directly from iPhoto and iPhoto lacks a merge with Lightroom feature. Although Lightroom cannot import images from your existing iPhoto library, Photoshop Elements 12 can!
    Even the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12 has the ability to import from iPhoto and then Lightroom 5 can import from Elements. Photoshop Elements 12 is ironically the missing link for those looking to move their images from iPhoto into Lightroom.

  • Lightroom does not display imported folders in correct location

    Hello,
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    Lightroom 5.7
    In Lightroom, I try to import photos and store them in a folder named by date.  All import settings are configured in such a way that Lightroom indicates that my photos will be imported as I want them to be.
    Lightroom creates the folder in the correct location on disk.
    However Lightroom does not display the newly created folder in the correct location after import, instead it adds the folders to the top level of my catalogue.
    I've triedimporting from both from my cameras card and from a local folder, the results are the same for both methods.
    Does anyone know why this is happening or do you have any tips on how I can trouble shoot this issue?
    Something that may be related to this issue... while in Lightroom, if I right click the top level folder and click "Synchronize folder", Lightroom displays a dialog box indicating that there are new photos and missing photos...
    "Import new photos (7934)
    Remove missing photos from catalog (7931).
    I have been importing photos in the same way for years.  I have have upgraded Lightroom once, and I have swapped computers once.

    This problem most likely occurs when there has been a case change in a path on disk.  In other words (using the screenshot at the top of this post as an example), something like this:
    /Users/hurley/Pictures/photographs
    intentionally or unintentionally gets changed to:
    /Users/hurley/Pictures/Photographs
    (i.e., "photographs" was initially lowercase, but got changed to an uppercase "Photographs")
    As you've discovered, Lightroom does not handle this well.  You can fix the problem by completely changing the path, and then updating Lightroom with the new path.  Try these steps:
    1.  Quit Lightroom.
    2.  In the Finder (i.e., on disk, not in Lightroom), alter the path that your photos are stored at.  In other words (again using the screenshot at the top of this post as an example), create a new folder called "Test" inside the "Pictures" folder, and then put the "Photographs" folder inside the "Test" folder, so that the new path looks like this:
    /Users/hurley/Pictures/Test/Photographs
    4.  Launch Lightroom.  In the Folders panel in Lightroom, you should now see a question mark “?” on the “photographs” folder (and all the folders within it) because Lightroom doesn't know where they are any more.
    5.  Right-click on the “photographs” folder in the Folders panel in Lightroom, and choose “Find Missing Folder…”  Direct Lightroom to the new location of the folder, i.e., /Users/hurley/Pictures/Test/Photographs.  The folder, and the folders within it, should now be found, and the question marks should disappear from them in the Folders panel in Lightroom.
    6.  Now try importing again to see if the newly imported photos go into the right place.

  • Lightroom does not launch with insertion of memory card.

    Lightroom does not launch on my PC with insertion of memory card. Option checked to launch in preferences. Autoplay settings set for Lightroom 6 (I assume this is CC) to import photos with insertion of memory card. New since installation of CC. 

    I had this problem and I was able to fix it by editing the Windows registry (it was only a minor edit).
    I changed the value of the following registry key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.AdobeLightroom64\shell\open\command
    The value was:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7\Lightroom.exe "%L"
    I changed it to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\lightroom.exe "%L"

    Thank you for your response. I fixed the problem by simply importing the
