Lightroom is reverting my pics back to original after i made extensive adjustments in photoshop cs6

I changed the original image by editing in photoshop from lightroom. The changes are visible in my lightroom library but not when i export the image. What went wrong and please is there a way to fix this?

After editing the image in photoshop click save (not save as). This will save the image as a psd or Tiff (depending on the file handling settings in lightroom) Once back in lightroom make sure you are selecting the psd or tiff file for export not the original raw file. There will now be two copies of your photo; one the raw and one the psd or tiff. If you put your mouse over the image it will tell you the file name in the filmstrip bar or you can hit "i" to give you the information display which should give you the file name.

Lightroom won't ask how to edit a file when I select "edit in Photoshop CS6"

Yesterday Lightroom suddenly stopped asking how I want the file edited when I select "edit in Photoshop". I opens the file directly in Photoshop without asking do I want to "edit with Lightroom changes", "edit a copy", or "edit original".
I've tried finding a setting to turn this on or off and found nothing. I've tried shutting down. I've even tried removing and reloading both Photoshop and Lightroom. As far as I can tell it has defaulted to always opening with LR edits.
I'm using Lightroom 5.3 and Photoshop CS6 extended version 13.0. I ran updates on both after reloading yesterday. I'm using the Mac versions of the software.
Please help!

Is it possible that you've switched to using Raw (or DNG) files? There is a different process when using a Raw file versus using a rendered file such as Jpeg, Tiff, PSD....and it's only the latter file-types which will prompt the "Edit a copy, Edit original, etc" question. If the ACR levels are compatible (which they will be if your ACR plug-in for PS CS6 is up-to-date) then there will be NO question when using "Edit In...." on a Raw/DNG file, the file is rendered automatically in the background by Photoshop's ACR plug-in, when you then "Save" in PS the now-rendered file (Tiff or PSD, depending on your external editing preference setting) will appear back in Lightroom.

Edit in Photoshop CS6 (version 13.0.1 x64) from Lightroom 5.2

I have an image in Lightroom 5 where I have not made any adjustments and I want to Edit In Photoshop CS 6, When I go to Photo>Edit In> Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS6, Photoshop opens without first displaying the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop CS6 What to Edit" dialog.
However, if I make any adjustments to an image in the Develop module in Lightroom 5 and the choose to go to Photo>Edit In> Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS6, nothing happens. The "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop CS6 What to Edit" dialog does not appear and Photoshop CS6 does not open.
Can anyone help me correct this problem?
Here is an image of the dialog that should appear.

Glad I was able to help you find the solution. You actually discovered the issue so I'd check your post #20 as the' Correct Answer' and my post #17 as 'Helpful.'
I've been into photography since the early 1970s and have a boatload of Olympus OM Series bodies, lenses and accessories. I haven't shot a roll of film in about 10-years, but I've been scanning my old slides and negatives using both a Plustek 7600i film scanner and Canon 9000F flatbed scanner. I do my initial capture, cropping, and spot removal using PS and then generally everything else inside LR. I used to do everything in PS, but LR is faster and allows keywording, etc. all-in-one application. I also use Bridge to organize and locate all of my project assets, since it allows keywording and creating collections using all file types, including, pictures, videos, music, PDFs, InDesign and other Adobe application files. Keywording works fine Bridge>LR>Bridge.

Up until the time I received your message I had not changed the profile names in the DNG ProfileManager. I just now changed the name on the original profile, and yes it now works with the EDIT-In command. What I would like to do is delete the second and third profiles I created from the original image but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it.
The easiest way to do this is from inside the DNG ProfileManager. Highlight the files you want to delete and then go to File>Delete. If you make a mistake simply go to the recycle bin, restore the file(s), and inside DNG Profile Manager select File> Reload Profiles.
WARNING: This will cause all files that have been assigned the profile to revert to Adobe Standard profile.
I learned this the hard way! If you want to delete a currently used profile and replace it with another, you must keep the exact same name! You can also change the profile on all images assigned to it by using AnyFilter> Color Profile = 'PROFILE NAME.' Then Sync the new profile across the images. Once complete you can then delete the old profile.
Don't forget to adjust your White Balance settings, which may be different for each camera profile and in some cases each image (i.e. different lighting condition).
Happy LRing!

I am able to click on a picture in iPhoto to edit it opens automatically in photoshop cs6. However when i am done editing I can not save that image back into iPhoto. Can anyone help with a setting I am missing maybe?

Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
"Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda

Edit in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.3

I'm in Lightroom 4.3 and right clicking on a image and clicking "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6". CS6 opens as if it's going to open up with my photo from Lightroom, but my photo doesn't show up?

This is probably a video card driver bug which has been reported in the PS forum from time to time. It's a PS problem, not a LR problem.
Assuming this is Windows, go to the video card maker's website and download an updated driver. Don't rely on Windows update; they're frequently several versions behind. On a Mac it would have to be through OS X updates.

FAQ: Can I install the Photoshop CS6 beta if I have the Lightroom 4 beta installed?

Yes, both Photoshop CS6 beta and the Lightroom 4 beta can be installed and used together on the same system. However, the Lightroom 4 beta expires on 3/31/2012. If you want to try the Photoshop CS6 bta and Lightroom 4 together, download the 30-day trial of the official release of Adobe Lightroom 4.

Please quit/close Lightroom 4, and any other Adobe software on your system, prior to installing the Photoshop CS6 Extended Beta:
If you encounter the dialog (below) that references the background process named 'dynamiclinkmanager' during installation, please quit Lightroom 4, and any other Adobe software on your system. Then click [Continue] to continue the installation of Adobe Photoshop CS6:

I go to "clip adjustments" and change the length of a photo. It reverts back to original length. I also shorten it by moving the yellow "box" around a specific clip. It still reverts back to original length. Why?

My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

Details please
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -- and -- http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html ---

This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

File name reverts back to original file name from camera

In iPhoto I changed all the names of my pictures from what the camera assigned them. I can see the title on each picture. Then when I go to attach the picture to an email it reverts back to original name from the camera.
It does the same thing when I copy over to an external hard drive.
How do I get the name to change permanetly?

Sandy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Another alternative would be to change your workflow. Upload to a folder on the desktop first and use a renaming application like R-Name to batch, sequentially rename your photos before importing into iPhoto. I use the international date format with a brief description of the shoot like this: 2008-06-15-Fathers Day-001. It may take a bit more effort at the beginning but saves a lot of headaches on down the line.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

I loaded OS X Lion , changed 2 finger scrolling, i want to revert scrolling back to scrolling down is movement towards me, not moving my 2 fingers away from me, I did this by accident , how do i change this 2 finger scroll movement back to original

I loaded OS X Lion , I changed the 2 finger scrolling once OS X Lion was loaded to the movement of moving your 2 fingers towards the screen to move screen down , i want to revert the moving of my screen moving down by scrolling down as the movement towards me , as original when I first received my MAC, not moving my 2 fingers towards the screen , I did this by accident , how do i change this 2 finger scroll movement back to original
in other words - scroll towards me moves screen down
scroll away from me or towards screen moves screen up. this is what I want
now its the opposite
scroll towards me screen screen moves up
scroll towards screen makes screen gone down
how do I fix this mistake i did when I loaded OS X Lion, it asked me to move my 2 fingers on mouse pad, I just moved it towards the screen not knowing this was going to change the scrolling to the opposite of how it scrolled when I first got my MAC, please help I prefer the original 2 finger scroll being towards me is screen moving down, HELP

Apple menu > System Preferences > Trackpad > Scrolling & Zoom > Scroll direction: natural -- uncheck.

Unshrink or revert image back to original size after adding headers.

I add headers to PDF files and it shrinks the document so that the header doesnt overwrite them.
When I remove the headers, is it possible to unshrink or revert the image back to the original size?

Do you know what size it was when placed?
The only way I can find to be able to reset a frame to the size it was when it was created is to set the preference for "When Scaling:" to "Adjust Scaling Percentage" and then resetting to 100% will take you back to the correct size, but not necessarily the original position as this is just another transformation, not a reversion to anything. The BIG downside to this setting, in my opinion, is that if you scale a text frame, the listed font size won't change, nor will stroke weights be listed correctly on scaled objects, which can lead to a lot of head scratching.

How do I change a recurring event on iPhone 5 which syncs with Google Calendar. As soon as I change it on phone it reverts back to original. Works on pc perfectly.

Help. How do I change a recurring event on iPhone 5 which syncs with Google Calendar. Just reverts back to original. Work perfectly on pc.

Do you happen to have Dial Assist on? This is in Settings>Phone. This is what helps the phone identify international numbers when dialing, based on location. See if turning that off/on makes a difference. Unless you are making a number of international calls, I believe this can be left off. See the User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf Page 49 has info regarding Dial Assist.
