Lightroom has stopped opening up images into PS

Hello,<br /><br />All of a sudden Lightroom has developed a new problem for me. In the Develop module when I right click on an image and go to open in Photoshop, I get this message:<br /><br />Lightroom was unable to prepare the the selected file at <file name here> for editing. It will not be opening.<br /><br />I am on Windows XP, Lightroom version 1.0 and using PSCS2. Nothing changed on my system. No new programs or any that have been removed.<br /><br />Any ideas?

Are you editing a file from a folder? If so does this happen with all folders?
I had that same problem and determined it was from dragging and dropping in LR. The way I resolved it was to:
1. Copy (in windows explorer) all the files in the suspect folder to another folder
2. Delete the offending folder (in windows explorer)
3. Re-create the folder (in windows explorer)
4. Copy the files back in (with explorer again)
5. Re-import to LR
Don't know what causes this, but it worked for me
Good Luck
RR

    I'm having what sounds to be the same issue. May I ask what version you were running? I'm using 4.1... And more importantly, have you figured out a solution?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • "Edit in Photoshop" link from Lightroom has stopped working.

    My "Edit in Photoshop" link from Lightroom has stopped working.  If I hit "Cmd E" in Lightroom, Photoshop opens, but the picture doesn't appear.  I have LR 5 and PS CC 2014.  I recently uninstalled or deleted PS 6 & PS CC (not PS CC 2014).  Any suggestions?

    Same problem here. I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and reinstalled. No change.  I also tried dumping PS preferences
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky.

  • Lightroom has stopped running windows is searching for a solution to the problem"

    Lightroom stopped running on Vista 32 windows error message says "Lightroom has stopped running windows is searching for a solution to the problem"...Also some RAW images opened in CS2, Bridge or Lightroom have bands of different colors depending on the image and are unusable. At the same time Lightroom works fine on my laptop running Vista 32.

    Are you looking at the images at 100% resolution? Banding can appear in other enlargements due to rounding errors.

  • Why do I loose lens perspective adjustments made in Lightroom when I open the image in CS5

    Question as title above

    Probably because you are opening the image into CS5 via a version of Adobe Camera Raw which does not provide the same support or use all the same parameters and settings, as your Lightroom does. For example, if you have used Upright, that is something that only the later ACR versions understand, and in order to use those versions, you would need a newer version of Photoshop.
    In such cases, you are better off having LR render the conversion and LR settings into a file (TIFF or PSD) that is already saved to disk in that format, before PS sees it.
    That way, PS has no need to involve your ACR at all, or to lay itself open to potential incompatibilities there. It only has to understand the completely standard pixel data inside the PSD / TIFF.
    You will at some point have been given a LR warning dialog about ACR version incompatibility, offering the choices "Render in LR" / "Open anyway". If you have clicked "always do this" after selecting "open anyway", you will no longer be getting this warning. You can re-instate it using LR Settings / "Reset all Warning Dialogs". Then by giving the response "Render in LR" instead, you will get a full and complete implementation of all of your LR adjustments, into Photoshop, from the standard Edit in PS feature.
    That arrives in PS as an already-saved and already-named file; you just need to Save (not Save As) when you are finished there.
    Another approach, is to set up an additional named external editing "preset" in the LR Settings / External Editing tab, referring to your Photoshop program file, with your choice of file type, bit depth, colourspace (which can vary from the ones configured for your main "Edit in PS" option). This name becomes a new entry in the "Edit In..." menu. Using that always carries out a "Render in LR" procedure, regardless of the state of the general warning dialog mentioned above.

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working error

    Updated to latest CC version - everything worked as expected for a couple of days - earlier this afternoon LR started (and continues) to crash. "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working" error - I followed various bits of support instructions - uninstalling - re-installing - signing out and back in - downloaded and engaged "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" - now, several hours later, the problem has not been resolved - I urgently need to get back to my project. Unfortunately, I even followed the thread that instructed to uninstall the previous 5.7.1 version.
    Please assist asap - regards Kalli

    Did not tinker with any of the setting options in the preference dialog. Just installed and worked successfully for a couple of days using the default settings.
    Since the first crash some hours ago, LR has not stayed open making it impossible to try different settings.
    The default install provided a fully working app - I tried out the new feature and soon after went back to my project.
    Could the fact that I uninstalled the previous - 5.7.? version have anything to do with this?
    How can I re-install the previous version at it was stable?
    Do any of you have any answers?
    And / or do you know how to engage Adobe?
    Thanks - Kalli

  • HELP!! Lightroom has stopped working.

    Just added serial number to my trial program & it was loading & working just fine for a couple minutes & then all of a sudden it just closed & stopped working. When I go to open it now it says "Lightroom has stopped working" check online or close program, but it doesn't do anything when I go to check online. also when I view program details...it says the even was APPCRASH. Does anyone know what happened. I assume yes, something crashed. But I tried uninstalling & reinstalling & it is still doing it! Can somebody help!!!??? Please?

    Open a Windows Explorer, and navigate to the following directory:
    "Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\"
    In there, you'll see a file called "Lightroom 3 Preferences.agprefs". Rename this file to "Lightroom 3 Preferences.agprefs.old", then start LR.

  • Firerfox has stopped opening new windows when I ask it to; why is this and what can be done to regain this option?

    Firerfox has stopped opening new windows when I ask it to; why is this and what can be done to regain this option?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == not sure - about 2 weeks ago maybe. I recently upgraded to vn 3.6.8

    This is a workstation first off, right? 60 lbs or so?:
    And you have 10.7.2, if not why not?
    Quad core 2.8GHz? 3 x 2GB RAM or more?
    Consider new Mac Pro comes with 1TB drive 50% is actually a lot. Most users off load non system stuff to one of the other 4 hard drive bays.
    As for youtube I do read and saw threads when Lion came out. Lion does not support Rosetta aka PPC/PowerPC code of any kind, plug-ins, drivers and software all. Check into Lion Community?

    Recently my iTunes has stop opening however i hear my music just find. Was wondering why i cannot see my iTunes when i click on it to open from my dock? It never was an issue before - it just stopped opening all of a sudden.

    Hi Bink Wills,
    If you can't click Window and then iTunes to bring the Window to the Front, try suggestions in the following article.

  • Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

    Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
    I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
    The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
    I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

    Hi ..
    Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • My cs4 has stopped opening.what should i do

    my cs4 has stopped opening.what should i do?

    Do you get any message when you try opening whichever CS4 program you are talking about?
    If you get no indications then try uninstalling CS4 using the cleaner tool which helps resolve installation problems for CS3 thru CS6 and for Creative Cloud :

    Then reinstall and see if things clear up.
