Lightroom edits in Bridge

Is it possible to see pics in Bridge with the Lightroom edits??

Yes, but you have to tell Lightroom that it has to write its settings in the xmp. Not sure but think it is in the prefs for Lightroom under catologsettings / filehandling. If you don't change it Lightroom is only recording the edits in its own library.

  • Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

    Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera.  How can I get my files open to view and edit?  I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.  Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
    When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file"  ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
    When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
    Please help!!!

    Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right?  Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
    LR5 is available as a standalone version.
    PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
    PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
    Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
    LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    PS-CS6 can be found on this page:  Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
    As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

  • Aperture vs lightroom vs adobe bridge

    I'm very very very new to all this, I plan on buying an imac soon and I'm trying my hand at amateur photography, but I am unsure what the difference b/w aperture, lightroom and adobe bridge is. Can anyone explain the differences in a nutshell?

    Alejandra-
    What Charles said. Aperture, Bridge and Lightroom are all applications for advanced digital image handling. Each has a steep learning curve that requires prerequisite full conversance with the Mac, batch image handling and digital photography in general. Simply running a trial version of Aperture, for instance, will not give a novice an appropriate idea of how Aperture behaves and what it is capable of.
    Take at least a thousand digital pics and manage them using (free) iPhoto. Buy (inexpensive) Adobe Photoshop Elements and learn basic image editing and manipulation. Then re-ask your question. New Aperture and Lightroom versions and new training routines will then be available and you will get much more relevant advice. Do not run the 30-day trial until you have righteous hardware and training CD tutorial(s) in hand.
    Planning an iMac purchase be aware that images processing is very hardware intensive. Anyone intending images processing should plan on buying strong hardware: Mac Pros, Macbook Pros or the highest end of the iMacs. Best performance will come from the strongest hardware. 2 GB RAM should be considered minimal.

  • Integrating Lightroom with Adobe Bridge

    Hi
    I understood that Lightroom integrated smoothly with Photoshop CS3. However, I cannot find a way of opening a photo in Lightroom direct from Bridge. I am sure there must be a way, but I can't find it. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Geoff
    Thanks for the observation, but - as John said - it would be very handy to have had a seamless link between Bridge and Lightroom for photo development, in the same way that you can open straight into Photoshop for editing. This would have made Bridge more useful.

  • Lightroom "Edit In" Feature not sending to Outside Editors

    Hi,
    I ran into a problem today with my Lightroom to Photoshop connection (which extends to other editing programs as well). I have the most up-to-date Lightroom (5.7) and the most up-to-date Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.2.1); I tried to send a photo to Photoshop for editing and nothing happened (same with all my external editors). I read up on similar experiences on the adobe forum and the recent advisory regarding this issue (which doesn't apply as it already is the latest version of PS). So I uninstalled Photoshop, then reinstalled per the recommendations I had read. Nothing changed. So I uninstalled PS (including my old CS4 version), Bridge, and Lightroom. Then reinstalled Lightroom. Tried to export to my other editing software and it wouldn't work. I then uninstalled the additional editing software and reinstalled PS. Lightroom still won't export. I am not sure what to now... I could uninstall everything but that is a heck of a pain... Any other suggestions or others running into this issue?

    Thank you everyone for your idea. I did try wait longer to see if the image would load to PS. Still nothing after 5 mins. I also tried with PS already open and still didn't work. Reset the warning dialog, and still nothing... However! You ideas got me thinking and I decided to try to use the edit in function on an image that was not edited in Lightroom... low and behold it came right up in PS. So I went to a new image, did a fast edit, then tried to send to PS and wouldn't work. So for some reason PS is not accepting a Lightroom edit... I do remember a dialog box a while ago regarding if I want to render from lightroom or use original image etc... But I cannot find that reset in the preferences as that is the only thing I can think of... Any ideas where to look for that? Reset warnings didn't bring that box up with I tried the newest send to PS.

  • I imported my photos from an external hard drive into Lightroom, edited my photos but what next...?!

    Adobe,
    I imported my photos from an external hard drive into Lightroom, edited my photos and when i decided to export them the originals had not been updated and the deleted photos had not been deleted. How do i set it up so that once i import the photos, edit them and export they are then placed back in their original folder edited and updated?
    I have managed to export the photos to another file but these were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is this and is this necessary?
    Thanks for your help!

    It's important to realise that LR is a DAM (Digital Asset Management) application - no images are actually imported into LR only links to where they are. Secondly, the details of any edits that you make to your images are kept only in the database and/or xmp files depending how you set this up in Preferences. In the general workflow e.g. edit in Lightroom, further edit in Photoshop and returning to LR then creating xmp files aren't really necessary. So just to emphasise - edits are stored in the LR's database, the original RAW images themselves don't change (non destructive editing). You can prove this yourself by desaturating an image (turning it into a B+W) and then look at the original images in Explorer - you'll see it's still being shown in colour.
    Exporting an image is something different. By implication, you've finished with the image and perhaps want to save an image for posting on the web somewhere. Now assuming your not using any additonal and freely available LR export plug-ins, one way would be to Export a jpeg image to a folder on the desktop and this is allowed for in the Export dialogue. At this time LR reads any edits from it's database and applies those to the exported jpeg (or tiff) file it's going to send to the folder on the desktop.
    As mentioned earlier, any edits and keywords etc are stored in LR's database - original RAW files remain untouched. XMP files also store the edits if LR is set up to create xmp files (in Preferences) but these are not really necessary unless you are going to be editing an already edited RAW file in another application. As an example - you import into LR's library a scanned negative. Now because strictly speaking LR isn't designed to work with negative images, you now open this file via Bridge into ACR and from here reverse the negative into a positive image. All fine and good except when you go back into LR what's shown is still a negative so what is needed is to update the metadata (LR > Metadata > Read Metadata from file) which will force LR to read the newly created metadata from the xmp file that Bridge generated. As already suggested, if you're happy editing your RAW files in LR and only LR then xmp files aren't really necessary - all the data being saved in LR's database.
    Hope this has been of some help but if I might also suggest, purchasing a good book on LR from the outset thus getting to really know LR will pay dividends further on down the line.

  • Lost edits in Bridge CS4

    I've been editing within Bridge and have my prefs set to "save to sidecar .xmp file. When I go back to the folder all the editing is gone, including edited orientations (ie horizontal to verticle)
    Eeek! What am I missing here? Do I have to change to another format to save changes?
    A

    First try to purge cache for folder using the tools menu and also restart Bridge holding down option key to refresh preferences, reset them to your wishes after Bridge has started and try again. This is first aid whenever in trouble with Bridge :-)

  • Opening file in Photoshop with Lightroom edits doesn't work anymore

    I have LR5.3 and PS CS6. Since I've updated camera Raw, my files won't open as Tiff files when I want to edit them in Photoshop. Hence, all the edits made in LR before won't be kept. I don't see the window saying "Open in PS with Lightroom edits"???? Anybody had the same problem? In LR Preferences, Tiff is preciser as the file format to edit in PS but it doesn't work

  • Lightroom metadata and Bridge compatibility

    Dear members:
    I have some questions I would like to have answered prior to deciding whether I should invest on Ligthroom and thought I would post them here to get some input. They are:
    1. Is metadata assigned to a DNG file by Lightroom interchangeable with Bridge ? Are both applications equivalent in the way they assign metadata and process image files ?
    2. Is the processing of RAW files by Lightroom the same as that done by Bridge ? In other words, are the same Camera Raw algorithms used by both Bridge and Lighroom ?
    3. Can I process images in Lightroom while keeping these images in their own folders without having to import these images into Lightroom's own database ?
    Thank you in advance for your help and answers,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    1. Yes
    2. For equivalent releases.
    Bridge 4 and LR 1.0, LATER 4.1 and LR 1.1
    3.You keep images where you want. Still have to import images for the dB functions that LR is all about. It is a Metadata editor, so >import.
    Read the LR FAQ and recent forum threads and you will gain a better insight int LR. Also just download the Trial and try it for yourself for 30 days. The Best way to learn what it is all about.

    Hi,
    Yes, both Camera Raw and Bridge are included. Bridge will need a separate installation, however.

  • Lightroom " Edit in" menu drop to work on Photoshop is grey out?

    Lightroom “ Edit in” menu drop to work on Photoshop is grey out, even though I have my “store preset with this catalog” unchecked. Do I have to reinstall LR?

    Your photos are never "in" the catalog. The catalog just points to your images in their folders on your hard drive. Do you understand what smart previews are and how they are supposed to be used? Are your images on an external hard drive that is disconnected from your computer?

  • 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.
     

  • Looking at External SSD Drive for Lightroom Editing - How Can I Set This Up and Which Drive?

    I'd like to purchase an external SSD drive for Lightroom editing and am hoping somebody can provide a recommendation for me.
    I'm using a FW800 G-Drive to store my Lightroom Library and have been using this drive to edit.  I'd like to add an external SSD drive for editing photographs an am looking for recommendations on which drive and the best way to set this up.  I plan on having a 3rd (and maybe 4th) to save both the FW800 files and working SSD drive files as a backup.
    Any recommendations are sincerely appreciate. 

    I believe I was loading a preview file to 100%.  I think maybe I should just use what I have and work with it.  It's much faster than my 7 year old MBP performed that's for sure.
    I was just wondering if I could spend a few hundred for an external Thunderbolt or USB 3 drive to speed up my productivity.  With the full time job and the kids, I have a little time to work on photography.  I'd love to increase my output.  I'm more than willing to spend the money on the TB or USB 3 if it would help.
    The specs on the camera say 24.1 million pixels:  24.6 MB.  The raw files are
    NEF (RAW): 14 bit, compressed

  • Metadata edited in Bridge is not reflected in the Info Dialogue Box, but shows up in Photoshop.

    Metadata edited in Bridge is not reflected in the Info Dialogue Box, but shows up in Photoshop.

    Dear Ramón,
    You are right that not all metadata is shown in the Finder info but in my case the once added in IPTC core do show as expected for most file types (but not CR2 raw). As you now I convert my CR2 to DNG for a long time now I had to look up the original Raw file and create the data for description, location, keywords again. The data you can add and alter yourself in the IPTC Core field. I added a series of screenshots showing different info and to my surprise (another reason to keep to DNG…) the Raw file had very less info and the xmp shows it all in a rather long and obscure way. Yet PSD, DNG and File info in PS show the same.
    Could not recreate the Bridge metadata workspace from the OP because mine (Bridge CC) does not have the description field as an option anymore for some obscure reason. Also checked this in my CS6 version with same result, making the metadata workspace unusable but that was it already for a long time.
    Still leaves us with the problem the OP showed, having all info in most files, as in Finder info, but not in Bridge. So could the OP respond to the purge cache for selection option in post 4?
    Here are (a bit to many, sorry) my screenshots showing different file info (in Dutch but you will manage with that) and metadata in Bridge:
    Finder info for PSD and DNG:
    Finder info for CR2 and XMP:
    File info Bridge / PSD:
    And a Bridge Metadata view:
