Lightroom ~ Edit in Elements?

On Macbook Pro in Lightroom 4 I have set Photoshop Elements to Edit. However, when I go to Photo>Edit in Photoshop Elements 10, Elements opens but image does no appear? I have to export a jpeg image, again Photoshop Elements opens but no image appears, I have to open the jpeg file from within Elements.

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.

  • 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?

  • 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:

  • How do you edit photos from lightroom 5 into elements 12

    how do you edit photos from lightroom 5 into elements 12 in the prefrences it dosent show elements 12 only cs5 i cant work out why help please

    Hi,
    For Windows, in Lightroom preferences for external editing, have you added a custom setting for the elements 12 editor?
    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.
     

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • I am trying to chose an upgrade from iPhoto to either lightroom or photoshop elements 10

    I am trying to chose an upgrade from iphoto to either lightroom or photoshope elements 10, and would appreciate any comments/advice
    Thanks for your time
    Sandy

    Elements and LIghtroom are different categories of app. Elements is a pretty straight up editor. Lightroom is database driven photo manager with lossless processing. Simply, Lightoom would be the upgrade to iPhoto.
    That said, there is no upgrade path from iPhoto to these apps. You will need to export from iPhoto to the Finder - a process that means you will lose something of the work you have done in iPhoto already.
    If your reason for upgrading is to add editing power then you can use Elements as an extenral editor to iPhoto:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    If the Limitation you see in iPhoto is primarily photo managment then have a look at Aperture. Half the price of Lightroom, much better manager, complete with OS integration.
    If you're shooting Raw then Lightroom or Aperture are the way to go.
    You can set Elements as an external editor in either.

    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 do I configure RAW editing with Elements 11

    I have a new camera, Lumix TZ60, I've taken photos and when I tried editing in Elements 11 I had a message '- - - Visit Camera RAW help' does this mean the camera manufacturer or check with Adobe?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The TZ60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 which is only compatible with Elements 12 and newer.
    So you'll never be able to edit Raw files from the TZ60 in Elements 11.
    Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
    Options:
    Upgrade to Elements 13
    Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all TZ60 Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNG files in Elements 11

  • As with others I can't export from Lightroom 4 to Elements 10 or any of the Nik products except HDR

    As with others I can't export from Lightroom 4 to Elements 10 or any of the Nik products except HDR Efex pro. Surely this has been fixed? If not it is appalling. It has been going on for too long in a program that has supposed to have some integrity

    I am able edit pictures in PSE (Photoshop elements) 10 BUT i am unable to edit videos in PRE (premiere elements) 10. I will uninstall LR 4.1 RC1 and then install RC2 and use a backup of the catalog. Lets see if that works.

  • 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?
    Alan

    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.

  • Sending photos for editing in elements

    How can I transfer photos from lightroom 5 after editing to elements 12 for final editing?

    I think you need to be a member of Elements Village to open attachments at that link. You can do the setup in Lightroom prefs. From the Library go to:
    Edit >> Preferences
    Then select the External Editing tab.
    Click the choose button in the section for Additional External Editor and then navigate to Photoshop Elements Editor application to complete the set up.
    You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
    1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD)
    2) Edit in Photoshop; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
    3) Ctrl+W to close in Photoshop and update Lightroom thumbnail
