Lightroom Edit in Elements problem

I have Lr3 and Elements10, when in Lr and I go to photo-edit and choose elements, the Elements program launches fully but the photo doesn't show.
If I go photo-edit and choose PS this opens the photo no problem, even though it's PS CS1.
Can anyone help?
Steve

I've managed to sort the problem, I have a Mac so in LR Preferences go to External Editing, Adobe Photoshop CS for me was already chosen in the upper box. In the Additional External Editor box go to 'Choose' navigate to Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements/Support Files and choose 'Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor'.
Just choosing the first Adobe Photoshop Elements opened up the Elements window where you choose Organise or Edit and failed to open the file from LR.
I do thing it's poor that Adobe cannot fix this problem or give clearer advice, I only realised when viewing Adobe's tutorial 'Using Lightroom and Elements together' and it shows navigating to Elements Editor. How many people like me intuitively chose the first Adobe Photoshop Elements icon when navigating, it's certainly not intuitive to go into support files. So come on Adobe, fix this or make it clearer.
Hope this helps those who have this problem.

Edit in Elements 9 Problems

Using Mac Snow leopard and Lightroom 3.4.1 and when trying to edit in Elements the Elements edit app opens but the file does not appear. To edit I have to open file/open and navigate to the file?

Hi,
When you select elements as your additional ext editor there are two options in the elements folder. One called just elements 10 which is an alias or shortcut and another called elements 10 app and this is the one you need to select, NOT the alias. This solved the problem for me.

How do I take an edited photo from lightroom 5 to elements 12?

How do I take an edited photo from lightroom 5 to elements 12?

Marsha, you seem to be a bit confused or perhaps uninformed about how Lightroom works. Lightroom should be at the beginning of your workflow. Whether you are working on raw images or JPEG, or whatever, Lightroom is where you should begin. None of the adjustments that you make using Lightroom are applied to the image. They are saved in the catalog progressively as you work on the image. Photoshop Elements sits in a secondary position in the typical workflow. In Lightroom, there is an option to "Edit in", and Photoshop Elements or Photoshop or whatever editor you have chosen will be one of the choices. You go to Elements to do things that cannot be done or can be done more efficiently in the other program. When you have finished making the adjustments in Elements a new copy of the image containing both the Lightroom adjustments and the Elements adjustments will be created, and will be added to the Lightroom catalog.
If you want an edited copy of your image in Elements than you would want to use the export function in Lightroom to export a copy that would include all adjustments that have been made. A typical workflow would be to maintain your master set of images, including copies created by Elements because of additional editing in that program, and then export JPEG copies suitable for posting on the web, for e-mail, or for sending to a lab to be printed. After those copies that were exported have been used for their intended purpose, they can be deleted, and you only have your master images to maintain in case there are other adjustments or new approaches in the future.

Edit from Lightroom 4 to Elements 10

I recently purchased Lightroom 4 and tried to edit in Elements 10. I got the same error message that has become popular on many forums. Has Adobe come up with a fix for this yet? If not, what is the timeframe for the fix? I purchased Lightroom 4 with the intent of editing in Elements so this is very frustrating. Also, what is RC2 that I have seen referred to on many posts? Thanks for your help.

Have a read of the Lightroom Journal website where all the recent official information is available. The articles there will clarify the present situation.

Lightroom "Edit in" no photo in Elements

My photo does not show up in Elemements 10 when I use "Edit In" button in Lightroom 3? I am working with a photo in lightroom and select "edit in" (Elements 10) and Elements opens but no photo shows up. What am doing wrong?

Is this the mac version? If so, see this:

Click on the Choose button and navigate to the editor
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
[omit the (x86) if on 32bit system]

Photoshop Elements, Lightroom and Nik Software Lightroom Edition experience working together?

I have Photoshop Elements 10 and number of plugins, like Topaz Labs ones. I have also just acquired Lightroom. I do want to get CS5 eventually but that is not in the near future.
I am thinking of getting Nik Software's Complete Collection. It does not support Elements 10, but it does support Lightroom. So solution seems easy, just use it in Lightroom. That solution could also result in $200 saving as edition that includes support for Photoshop and Lightroom is right now $399 while one that supports just Lightroom (and Aperture but that is not of relevance to me as I am a Windows user) is $199.
However, I do not want to lose benefits of other plugins I have so going with solely Lightroom edition means increased going back and forth between Photoshop and Lightroom.
So question for those experienced with 3 of these together: Do you foresee issues with getting edition that just supports Lightroom? What things I might feel are missing / might frustrate me with this approach?

I’ve not used Nik Software but have used Lightroom and PSE together and the two programs integrate well. If Elements was already installed Lightroom should automatically recognize it as your external editor otherwise you need to set up external handling in Lightroom preferences.
I assume any changes made in Lightroom with a Nik plug in will register as part of the Lightroom Develop settings. Is that how it should work?
My usual routine is to highlight an image in the Lightroom Library and then
1) Press Ctrl+E to edit in photoshop - choose PSD with Lightroom settings
2) Image opens automatically in PSE Editor
3) Do further editing in PSE and press Ctrl+S to save an overwrite the Lightroom export copy. Click OK
4) Press Ctrl+W to close the saved PSD file which automatically updates the Lightroom thumbnail.
It all works quite seamlessly. Use the PSD copy in light room to export a jpeg or any other format of your choosing.

Lightroom - edit in PS TIFF compression problem

Hello everybody,
when I send my image to photoshop from lightroom via edit in function, after I save it (ctrl + s) in ps the output tiff file is always uncompressed regardless the compression setting in lightroom.
I noticed it because the sizes of the tiffs are rather huge. I checked the tiff properties in explorer and it says uncompressed indeed. Every other settings in lightroom edit in ps preferences seem to work. This behavior is the same with dngs and jpegs, just when lightroom is handing over the original to ps. It doesn't occur when lightroom renders its own copy and handing it over to ps afterwards.
A workaround is to use save as in ps but anyway..
Am I missing something, or is it a bug? Thanks for your answer.
Lightroom 3.6 64bit, Photoshop CS 5.1 64bit, Win 7. I also tried it with LR 4 beta and it's the same (due to incompatibility Open anyway option). Tiffs always come back uncompressed as well.

I totally agree. This is easy to replicate. I am running LR4 and PS5 on an IMac.
Open a 20MB dng file to PS5 from Lightroom and then save via Command S. Tif file size is 150MB and compression is at level 1.
Open a 20MB dng file directly to PS5 and then use Save As and choose ZIP compression. Tif file size is 36MB and compression is level 8.
This is a long standing problem! Is it fixed in PS6?

Saving after editing in elements 8 - this is painfully slow, including waiting through the "not responding" message, though after quick editing in organiser saving is very quick - what is the problem?

None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures. Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
No, that's just wasting space. A back up needs to be on a different disk.
Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

I cannot get a picture to transfer from lightroom 5 to elements 13 premium to edit?

I have up dated lightroom and have just installed elements and whenever I try to edit by transfering a copy from lightroom to elements I get a waring pop up that says it cannot read in any format i choose. (psd.tiff etc) ??

When you click Cmd+E a dialog appears and you choose to export toPSE as PSD or tif with Lightroom settings. LR usually adds the word Edit to the original file name.
After you finish in editing in Elements and press Cmd+S to save you should get prompted to overwrite the existing file. You must say yes e.g. to overwrite the file that Lightroom exported to PSE. If you choose a different name or file format then Lightroom won’t know anything about it.
Finally when you Press Cmd+W the image should close in Elements and your PSE adjustments will show up on the Lightroom copy. Use that for print, slideshow or to export a jpeg from Lightroom.

My problem is to synchronize Lightroom 4 with Elements 11.

I have another computer with Lightroom 4 and Elements 10 and there is no problems to operate from Lightroom to Elements. I have tried almost everything and spent several hours to find a solution. My both computers are new HP Pavillion and have Windows 7. What shall I do?

You can try to use the link below & I hope that would be helful to you!!

Editing in elements and lightroom

Pictures edited in elements that were sent from lightroom are not returned to lightroom after they are saved in elements. Why?

What versions of LR and PS Elements are you using?
What file type are you working with in LR, raw or rendered jpeg/tiff?
Could you provide more detail as to what choices to made when sending the file from LR and what option did you choose to save the file when finished in Elements "save" or "save as"? Did you make a name change to the file?

Elements 12 -- Lightroom 5: Tags-Import-Probleme

Hallo Pros, anbei einige Fragen zu Elements 12 und Lighroom 5 (unter Win8.1), zu denen ich keine Antworten googlen konnte:
Grund der Veränderung: Neuer PC, jetzt Win8.1 und zukünftig mehr Arbeit mit RAWs. Zudem möchte ich die Ordnerstruktur der Festplatte übernehmen (statt gleiches nochmal als lokale Alben anzulegen - wie ich es als Anfänger gemacht habe).
Zu Elements:
Wenn ich den alten Katalog auf dem neuen PC übernehme ist weitgehend alles beim Alten, außer dass die Personen im einzelnen Foto nicht mehr mit den Quadraten/Namen identifiziert sind. Das ist vor allem bei Gruppenphotos nervig, wo man die Namen doch gerne den Gesichter zuordnet.
Frage 1: Wie lässt sich diese Zuordnung wieder herstellen, oder "richtig" importieren.
Zu Elements und Lightroom:
Wenn die Bilder (mit abgespeicherten Tags) entsprechend der gegebenen Ordnerstruktur des neuen PCs neu importiert werden, sind alle Tags vorhanden. Die Baumstruktur und die Aufteilung in "Personen", "Stichworte" etc. ist hingegen futsch. Alle Tags sind "Stichworte" (nicht mehr "Personen, Ereignisse" etc.) und so findet sich eine ellenlange alphabetische Liste...
Auch wenn Elements-Katalog im ganzen nach Lightroom importiert wird, dann bleibt die Baumstruktur der Stichworte nur teilweise erhalten: bei Sonstiges. Hier findet sich jetzt ein chaotischer Unterordner: Importierte Stichwort-Tags mit den ehemaligen "Personen" "Orten" und "Ereignissen". Die Baumstruktur und Differenzierung scheint nicht in den Bildinformationen abgespeichert, aber muss ja irgendwo "in Elements gespeichert sein".
Frage 2: gibt es eine Möglichkeit diese Informationen (Baumstruktur der Stichworte, Oberbegriffe: Orte, Personen etc.) von Elements nach Elements und von Elements nach Lightroom "zu importieren"? Gibt es hier notwendige Voreinstellungen bei Elements oder Lightroom? (Überdies: auch bei LR wäre die "quadratische" Personenzuordnung wünschenswert.)
Für Tipps und Links wäre ich Euch sehr dankbar
Kommklaus

Hallound herzlichen Dank
Ich habe etwas experimentiert.
Bei DNG kann ich in Elements Personen markieren und alles speichern.
Leider funktioniert das bei Lightroom 5 mit Elements 12 nach Import nicht ganz so auf.
Zwar werden alle Metadaten importiert, alle jedoch als gleichwertige Stichworte. Die Ordnerstruktur Ereignisse, Personen, Orte, geht verloren.
Auch die Personenmarkierung geht verloren. Die Ornerstruktur bleibt nur bei den Stichworten erhalten, die auch unter Elements "Stichworte" heißen,
Baben Sie Rat?
Grüße Kommklaus

How many times can you install Lightroom 5? My problem is that I have saved my programs on C. To I have more space, I want to save my programs now on E. Can I now uninstall Lightroom and reinstall from C to E? Can I use the same license code as the first

Please help!!

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.
