Lightroom rendering into Photoshop

I've upgraded to Lightroom 3, but I'm still using Photoshop CS3. I know that I can't upgrade Camera Raw to be able to open the new LR3 DNG's directly in Photoshop and that I need Lightroom to render them before opening.... Trouble is, I can't find the option to tell Lightroom to render them. If I select Edit in Photoshop CS3", they just open, but without most of the sharpening and grain settings.
Where can I tell Lightroom to render the files first????

Camera raw mismatch. LR uses acr 6.0. You probably are using  acr 5.6 or 5.7 in PS and thus PS can't correctly render your image.
Well, I'm using PSCS5 with ACR 6.1 ... upon edit in PS with an image that has a star rating, keyword and a color label ... the resulting edited image saved back to LR retains the star rating, the keywords ... but not the color label ... which was not the behavior from the past when working with LR2 and PSCS3 ..... so there is definitely something hinky going on here.
I tested this with two images, the first directly going to PS and the second saving metadata to file before going and same result.

  • I cannot open files directly from Lightroom 4 into Photoshop CS5.

    I recently changed to new Macbook Pro and uploaded my Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.
    Now when I go to 'Photo - Edit in - Photoshop' in Lightroom 4. Photoshop opens. But no image appears.
    I've updated the Camera Raw reader but this hasn't helped.
    Anyone got a suggestion that might help?
    I have been making attempts to download updates for my Photoshop PS5 but after 4 attempts I get the same failed window asking me to try later.
    Anyone any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    It is important to understand how Lr works.
    Lr displays photos only when they are imported into Lr. A (seeming) exception is for a Raw image that is edited in Photoshop and <Saved> to the default settings that you selected in external editing of Preferences in Lr. So if the default setting is for PSD and you just hit <Save> in Photoshop, a PSD will be created and automatically imported back into Lr so that it will be displayed there. So, this is not really an exception from the rule that an image has to be imported into Lr - it is an automatic import. This automatic import works only for the <Save> to the default settings;it does not work when you do a <Save As> and select a different file format than the default setting. In your case you did a <Save as> to create a JPG. This JPG will not be automatically imported into Lr, you have to import it manually - either through the Import Dialog or by <Synchronize Folder>.
    Apart from that, and as JimHess said, why do you create a JPG in Photoshop from the same file? If you need a JPG, in Lr just export your PSD as a JPG when you need it.
    I often need JPGs from my file, but I create them only when needed by exporting them to a folder of my choice. Usually I delete them after a while. I don't see a reason why I should have JPGs sitting around on my hard drive(s). They can be created again (from the Raw files or from PSD's/Tiffs) if the need arises.

  • Import images edited in LIghtroom 4 into Photoshop Elements 11.

    I wnat to import images I have edited in Lightroom into Photoshop Elements.  It will only allow me to import the original RAW file and not the XMP Sidecar file.  I get the message "File type not supported.  Can anyone help?  John

    The usual method is not  to start Elements, and then try to get ("import") the edited image from LR (or, from disk). This is a more laborious approach, also limiting: for example you cannot externally edit a LR "virtual copy" this way.
    LR is designed to be the front-end, which  pushes  the LR-edited image out to Elements on demand (which will then be started up automatically, with the relevant image already opened for you). Doing it this way, the edited image then appears back in LR by itself, afterward, and the whole process is convenient. You can go back and edit the same image further, again using LR as your single access point to the image - both for LR adjustments and for Photoshop alterations.
    The standard "Edit in Photoshop / Edit in Photoshop Elements" method tries to work via ACR. This does not require saving .XMP files to disk, btw.
    It is also possible to force LR to render the file itself, which removes any issues of ACR compatibility, and employs the full gamut of LR function "up front" when starting an external edit. All Elements (or whatever) then needs to be able to do, is open up a readymade standard TIFF (or PSD).
    One way to force that is via dialog options, though the options presented do vary depending on the situation.
    Another way is to set up an external editing preset (in LR Preferences / external editing tab). This records a given combination of file attributes and program to be used (by browsing to the image editor program file), and is saved under a name. This name appears in the context menu (Edit In... submenu) and can be used directly thereafter.

  • Trouble merging exposures from Lightroom 5 into Photoshop CC HDR Pro

    I'm a new member to Photoshop CC and I'm trying to merge 3 exposures into Photoshop CC HDR Pro. When the exposures move over to the initial adjustments window, there is a large white line running vertically through the image. I'm missing about 40% of the image. This makes it difficult to accurately adjust the HDR. However, when I accept my adjustments and go to the main Photoshop workspace, the entire image is once again available to make subsequent adjustments or add layers.
    I work on a 15" MacBook Pro w/ Retina and I'm running OSX Mavericks (if any of that matters).
    I look forward to your response and resolution to my problem.
    Thank you.

    I am also having this issue with the "Merge to HDR Pro" function in both LR5.2 and PSCC. When the image is viewed at 50% image size in the HDR app everything appears fine. However, once you start to zoom in the image begins to crop out segements starting on the right hand side. See the screen shots below:
    Image at 50%
    Image at 66%
    Image at 100%

  • Colour shift when exporting from lightroom 5 into Photoshop CS6

    Hi there,
    Having a really weird problem in Lightroom/Photoshop that no amount of Googling can seem to fix.
    When I grade an image for colour in lightroom, and then use the "edit in" function to send the file to Photoshop, the file is a completely different colour.
    Here's an example:
    I'm using SRGB for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and the "preserve embedded profiles" is selected for RGB, CMYK, and gray.
    If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. I don't want to have to use ProPhotoRGB, because most of my work is delivered online.
    Thanks in advance

  • Can I export a Lightroom curve preset into Photoshop?

    Is there a way to export a lightroom curve into photoshop? I tried it but photoshop won't import the .xmp curve adjustment.

  • Problems opening multiple images as layers from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

    I'm having trouble bringing multiple photos from Lightroom 4 into Photoshop CS6 as layers. In LR4, I select the multiple photos I want to bring in, right click and from the pop-up menu select "Edit In", then "Open as Layers In Photoshop...". Photoshop CS6 then opens but the photos do not load in. I then get an error in LR4 about a minute later that says "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." However Photoshop just opened before I got the error. How do I fix this?

    Maybe a keyboard issue - shortcut key toggling multiple times. But, if you're sure your keyboard is fine, then try this:
    Reset LR preferences:Windows 7/ Vista: The preference setting file is Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs, in C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\. Rename/ move this file to a different location. LR will recreate preferences during next launch. See if this fixes the issue. The reason we're renaming or moving it is so that if it doesn't fix the error, you can move it back there so you don't have to recreate your in-application preferences again
    Reset Photoshop preferences: Follow instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
    See if either or one of the above suggestions works.

  • Edit Lightroom images in Photoshop - problem

    Hi,
    I have recently started to use lightroom to eidt my images. When i go to edit with an image lightroom adjustments  from lightroom 3 into photoshop cs4 it won't allow me to save it as a jpeg from photoshop. I understand that i can change it from 16bit to 8 bit and it will then save as a jpeg but the when i send the prints to a lab (a few different ones i have tried) the images come back dull and flat. The images look fine on my screen.
    Any ideas??
    Cheers

    Hi Geoff,
    Thanks for your reply. I chnaged the colour spce to sRGB and still it has made no difference - won't let me save as a Jpeg. I might chane it 8bit and get a test print done to see if it makes a difference. Thanks for your help.

  • Shortcut to open RAW image directly into Photoshop

    Isn't there a keyboard/mouse shortcut that will allow someone to open a RAW image from within Lightroom directly into Photoshop...and in the process, bypass the 'Edit Type Options' dialog (i.e. Edit Original; Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments; Edit Copy)??
    I could have sworn that I had read somewhere in Martin Evening's Lightroom for Photographers 1.1 addendum that there was a way to do this (I recall it was something along the lines of holding down the option/alt key while choosing 'Edit in Photoshop from the contextual menu, or maybe it was a direct hotkey that could be entered simply by selecting the image and pressing the defined hotkey) - or maybe I am crazy and I am totally making this up :O
    Anyone know what the magic password is for this?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

    Wow!
    Michael D Sullivan...Part of me really wants to strangle you right now...but, I will resist, as I am not the type to flame people on forums/chat groups...those people are lame...
    Nonetheless, you are completely missing my point...STILL!!
    You had mentioned:
    >The only way to open a RAW file in Photoshop directly is through Camera Raw.
    Really? Come on dude...You don't think I knew that...my grandmother who has never used Photoshop in her life knows that much...Try to extrapolate meaning from someone's post prior to writing back with a ridiculous response like that...
    Then you went on to say:
    >It's that or convert it to a TIFF/PSD file and edit in Photoshop.
    Yahtzee! Someone give this guy a cigar! (i.e. Yes Michael, this is what I meant)...Let's review my response to the initial (legitimate) confusion about the post I'd started this thread with...shall we?
    I responded to the intial confusion (Posts #2, #3) about my original post (Post #1) by saying:
    >I would like to have a way in which, using a keyboard/mouse shortcut of some sort, I could open a RAW file
    WITH THE LIGHTROOM ADJUSTMENTS APPLIED, directly into Photoshop, thereby bypassing the 'Edit with Photoshop CS3' options window all-together (and in the process of opening this RAW file, obviously Lightroom would convert the RAW image into a TIFF file...)
    I am sorry Michael, but I don't think I can dumb this down any further...I even went so far as to state:
    >"(and in the process of opening this RAW file, obviously Lightroom would convert the RAW image into a TIFF file...)".
    I hope you were in a bad mood and just felt like being a d&#k when you responded to that post with:
    >"Read my post, #2. There's no copy involved. The only way to open a RAW file in Photoshop directly is through Camera Raw."
    Do you honestly think I didn't understand that? Do you still honestly not get what I am talking about?
    Let me give you a visual...
    Have a look at this screenshot
    Then view this one
    Have we reached Nirvana yet? Do we feel enlightened? Have we gained any more clarity on the situation yet?
    If not, then you're wasting my time!
    If so...well...there's not going to be an if so, is there Michael? I figure that the chances of you responding to this post with anything meaningful is unlikely at best...
    Oh well...Have a nice day!

    It's important to keep in mind that the picture files are NOT stored in the Organizer. They are not stored in Lightroom or Bridge either...
    The organizer is based on a catalog which stores the pictures properties, mainly the location of the pictures on your drive(s). It's the same idea of catalogs in Lightroom, and the nice thing is that Lightroom can convert organizer catalogs to its own format. The most obvious way for you will be to use Lightroom.
    Bridge is a file browser which is a different way than to use catalogs.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    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. I tried dumping PS preferences

  • With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have camera raw 2.4

    With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have"camera raw 2.4" selected in LR and the Plug-in for CS is Camera Raw.8BI.
    Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried a different DNG converter? Adobe released Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 in March of this year. Maybe, if it supports your camera, this version will create a more compatible file.

  • Noise/grainy problems with images exported into photoshop cc from lightroom after photoshop & lightroom updates

    I can't figure it out. After updating photoshop from the c6 version to the newer cc, and after also an update to lightroom through my creative cloud app, all photos exported now from lightroom into photoshop are extremely noisy and poor quality. I have adjusting settings I thought to back where I had them, but the images still don't look right.  Can you help me? Slammed with photos to edit for paid gigs! Panicking. These are raw files.

    My interpretation of what the OP’s situation, that they are adjusting noise-reduction and sharpening to their liking in LR, the using Edit In PS (not Exporting despite using that word) into PS and what they see in PS is much nosier than what they saw in LR and are wondering why things look different between LR and PS.
    My guess as to the problem is that they’re adjusting LR-Detail settings (Sharpness and NR) using Fit zoom instead of 1:1 zoom and then viewing the image in PS, perhaps at 1:1 zoom or even at Fit-to-Window zoom in PS, and that LR’s resampling and PS’s resampling of the image for fitting to the screen are a bit different and PS’s looks rougher.
    Unless the OP is comparing LR and PS at 1:1 or 100% zoom, differences are to be expected.
