Lightroom shows "no photo selected" after editing jpg in Photoshop

I am running Lightroom 5.3 and Photoshop 14.2.1x64 on Windows 7, 64-bit, 16gb RAM, plenty of free disk space (90gb on drive C).  I am in Lightroom and have selected a subset of the library (using a key word clicking on the keyword's "right arrow" next to its count in the key word list).  I then view a photo in the loupe view and right click, selecting "Edit in Photoshop CC" and checking "Edit a Copy".  This takes me to Photoshop, where I edit the photo and save both as a .psd file and re-save the jpg copy, overwriting the copy that Lightroom made.  When I go back to Lightroom (by reactivating the window), the copy flashes momentarily and then disappears from the window, replaced by the message "no photo selected" in the loupe view.  When I go back to grid mode, I am back to the first photo in the selected group of photos and I then have to scroll through and find the photo I just edited (the jpg copy is still in Lightroom).
This problem did not occur when I first installed and used Lightroom.  Rather, Lightroom would continue to display the edited jpg photo in loupe view when I returned to Lightroom from Photoshop.  Now, however, it never does.  Is there some Lightroom setting I accidentally changed?  What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

I'm using ProPhoto RGB in Photoshop.  I have a test file that shows this issue: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84023411/shadows_test.psd
This is a 16-bit ProPhoto RGB image with just 2 colors.  The top part of the image is filled with RGB 10,10,10 and the bottom half is 0,0,0.  If I open this file in Photoshop and use Apple's DigitalColor Meter utility to read the displayed values of the color of the top, using "Display native values", the result is 18,18,18.  I expect it to be different than 10,10,10 due to the display profile but I would expect the same image viewed in Lightroom's Develop module to also read as 18,18,18 in the top half.  But when I do this (import the PSD into Lightroom and open in Develop) the Meter reads 12,12,12.  If I view the PSD in Loupe mode in Lightroom the Meter reads as expected, 18,18,18.
The difference should also be noticeable to your eye (at least mine) without using any measurements.
The result is that the dark shadows appear crushed when editing in Lightroom Develop mode.
The problem happens on both my 2008 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU and on my 2013 MacBook Air, although the values read on the Air are different than the Pro due to display profiles.
Normally, of course, I'm editing a RAW file in Lightroom and open that up in Photoshop (cmd+e), but this test seems to show that it happens with non-RAW files.

  • Photos showing in Photo browser after editing

    Each time I edit a photo and later when I bring up the Organizer I find that photo in the Photo Brower with no tags.
    Did overlook a setting in the photo editor as I would like to have only photos that I want go get later from staging folder, camera, etc.
    Please advise

    John,
    Please identify which version of PSE you have - 3 or 4?
    >I would like to have only photos that I want go get later from staging folder, camera, etc.
    Sorry but I do not understand your objective.
    Do you not want to have the photos that you are editing in the Organizer?
    You can't really edit the photo now and then go get it from the camera later - you would not have the correlation between the original photo file and its edit.
    >Each time I edit a photo and later when I bring up the Organizer I find that photo in the Photo Brower with no tags.
    Was this photo in he Organizer and did it have tags before you started to edit it? If it had tags before the edit, it should still have the same tags on the edited photo file.
    If you never want the photo to be in the Organzier, you can uncheck Include in Organizer box in the Save As window of the Editor. But editing first and then bringing in to the Organizer later is not really a good workflow for most situations.

  • Encore crashes after editing menus in Photoshop

    Running Encore CS3 3.0.1.008 on Vista. When I open a Menu and then choose Edit Menu in Photoshop, everything works great the FIRST time I edit the menu. I can save it, close in Photoshop, and come back to Encore.
    If I try to Edit the menu a SECOND time, however, and then close and come back to Encore, Encore will crash.
    Happens every time. My only recourse is to restart Encore, which then allows me one more chance to edit my menu.
    It wouldn't be so bad if Encore didn't take 5+ minutes to open my project each time! Any help is much appreciated.

    The process for "Edit in Photoshop" seems to be (observation and some reading, but no real hard facts - maybe Joe can correct me, if I'm wrong): Encore creates a TMP file with a link to the Menu, then Opens the TMP file in PS. Work is done and Save then writes over the TMP file, which is brought back into Encore to replace the original Menu file. Even with a bunch of Buttons, these are really quite small, compared to most of the image files that I usually work on. Should not require too much RAM for this operation.
    I've only had one problem, which seemed to be specific to a Project that was created to use as a "template" and was always done as a Save_As in Encore with new Assets for each part of the Project. The Save, or Ctrl-s did not seem to get back to Encore after an Edit in Photoshop. This was only about 25% of the time, and only happened to me when I used that "template." Others posted of similar problems, but with new Projects, however I've not seen that. Also, with hundreds of "Edit in PS," that is the only glitch I've ever encountered. I also usually leave PS minimized, after the Save, as I often work on a half-dozen Menus in a session. Also, I often have PPro minimized too, so there is a bunch of Adobe stuff in the background.
    I wonder if this is system dependent - memory issue maybe? For me, the "Edit in PS" has always worked perfectly (except as per above), and has done so if I shut down PS after the edit, or leave it open and bring focus back to Encore. I'm using 4GB (3GB switch) with about 8GB Win Virtual Mem on 2 physical disks with XP-Pro/SP-2.
    Only other thing that I can think of is that the linking to the TMP and back might be causing the problem, but do not know the mechanics of this linking - XML?
    Sorry that this is not much help for your problem.

  • After editing image in Photoshop the saved result doesn't look the same in Lightroom

    If I edit a photo in Photoshop and then save the photo, and then view the saved photo (not the original) back in Lightroom in Develop mode, the photo does not look the same as it does in Photoshop.  The dark shadows have been crushed in Lightroom.  If I look at it in Expose mode it looks good, but in Develop it the blacks and dark shadows are darker than the image appears in Photoshop.  This is a newer problem for me, I'm not sure when it started.
    I'm using:
    Lightroom 5.5
    Photoshop CC 2014
    Mac Pro 8-core 2008
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU
    Mac OS X 10.9.4
    Apple 30" Cinema Display, calibrated with a Spyder3 Elite but the calibration doesn't seem to matter, I can change to another profile (e.g. a stock profile not from the Spyder) and still see the same problem.
    This seems to happen with Photoshop CC prior to 2014 as well.

  • Photos black after editing

    After I edit a photo it shows up in my library black. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to repair Library permissions.
    If that fails:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Imported Photos Lost After Editing

    I imported 140 photos to iPhoto and they were all there.  I edited them using the 'enhance' feature.  When I was finished I discovered (to my horror) that only 5 or 6 photos were still there (the ones that I had not enhanced).  Everything else was black.  What can I do to get my photos back?  Unforunately, I had erased them from the memory card.  I would really appreciate any help you can offer me.  Thank you!

    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

  • Lightroom 5: Lost photo Book after Lightroom crash

    LIghtroom shot down after crash and now only shows empty foto book. Pictures included in the book however are still shown as used in the picture bar. Is there a way to restore the original book without backup?
    I'm working on a PC and restarting Lighroom and PC both failed.
    thanks!

    Without Backup- No.!
    If you do have a Catalog Backup, it may be there.
    Good advice is- always "Create a Saved Book" (that will be in the Collections Panel) when you have a basic design started. A "Saved Book" always updates as you alter pages and images in the Book module.
    And always backup the catalog!

  • Photo frozen after editing on the 4s!  Help?

    I was editing a photo on my brand new iPhone 4s and after I tried to "constrain" the photo there was no way to save it and return to the camera roll.  I was able to see the photo on my computer and deleted it, however it remains frozen on the editing screen when I open my "photos".  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Seriously? No one knows the answer to this?

  • Pictures not showing in photo app after syncing.

    I synced my N8 with windows media player after the anna update but couldn't see any pictures in the photo app. Pictures are already on the device inside "pictures" (not "images") folder in E: drive. After playing a bit, i figured out that photos app only read the pictures inside "images" folder of E: drive. Is there any possible way to make photo app read files in the "pictures" folder or make Windows Media Player sync with the "images" folder instead of "pictures" folder. Any help would be great. Thanks. 

    I guess you just have to move them every time from Pictures folder to Images you sync with windows media and I prefer to start using Ovi Suite to sync
    to move a file you should mark it first then click Options - Organize - Move to - choose whatever folder you want
    If I've helped in any way, a click upon the star over on the left would always be appreciated.

  • Saving Photo File After Editing

    Once I edit a raw image in Photoshop Elements 5.0 and then try to go back to the organizer from editor, the program requires about 4 clicks to save the file. If I'm editing multiple files, I must do each of these clicks for each of the files.
    Does anyone know how to streamline this save process?

    Hi All -- I'm going to ask this question again as the issue continues to vex me.
    I'm now using LR 2.2. The changes flushed to a image file (I use DNG) reflect the current 'before settings' in the develop module. In order to get recent develop module changes into the image file, one has to first execute "Copy After's Settings to Before", then save the image settings (cmd-S). That seems totally reasonable.
    Here's my problem. I visit lots of images making edits. I don't always remember to "Copy After's Settings to Before" after making edits. In order to determine which image's I've made changes to I step through all my images in the develop module using the before/after view, executing "Copy After's Settings to Before". This is a big hassle. I need a better approach. First I don't always know which images I've edited and I usually don't care anyway. What I want is a macro that will perform "Copy After's Settings to Before" for multiple images. Is there such a feature or is this missing from LR?

  • Has anyone experienced photos disappearing after editing the date?  Lion, Imac, Iphoto '09.

    I am beginning the daunting process of sorting through all of my photos to make sure the date is correct.  I made a change on a couple of photos, they then disappeared, presumably to the correct date.  However, when scrolling to the spot it should have been relocated to, it is not there.  The missing photos are not critical to recover, but I want to make sure I have this resolved before continuing further.  Thanks!

    I do not understand - How did you change the date?
    If you are doing it correctly using only iPhoto then the photo will not change it location in the event it was in
    Please give more information

  • Aperture does not update a photo preview after editing in external editor

    I have noticed this problem after installing the last Aperture (3.2.3) update. It appears to be common to my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro. The updated preview is visible only in "viewer" mode (menu / view / viewer). It's interesting, that updated preview appears in "viewer" mode on both displays (I use two monitors). And when I switch into "split view" the preview switch also and is not updated.
    After relaunching Aperture previews are updated.
    The thumbnail looks to be good (updated). This problem makes my work really uncomfortable.

    This seems to be a bug, and has been discussed in several threads. See this workaround suggested by shuttersp33d: This helped me Re: saving from photoshop

  • I am having a problem with check boxes showing as all selected after downloading as a pdf after individual submits their form with just a few actually selected.

    The forms themselves don't have all the boxes checked when viewed in FormsCentral. It is only after I download it as a pdf that the problem occurs. I have to check and uncheck each box in the FormsCentral in order to not have that occur. Any suggestions?

  • Develop mode says 'no photo selected', so I can't edit anything.

    After importing photos into LR4 I select one and hit the develop button and then the screen shows 'no photo selected.' So I can't edit anything. The ruler where images usually are in develop mode, below the main image window doesn't show any images either. I found that if I select an image in 'library' mode then click on 'book' mode and back to 'develop' mode, then the image appears and allows me to edit it. I don't get it. Is there are different way to access photos, am I doing something wrong?

    You should be able to select a photo in Library and go straight to Develop. Anything else isn't normal behaviour. Don't have a straight answer as to why it would be otherwise. Are you rendering previews on Import? Is the drive fast?

  • Make Copy from Original After Editing?

    I frequently make many adjustments to a photo, maybe even edit further in Photoshop, and then at a later date I want to make another copy of the original image in LR.  If I know ahead of time that I'm going to want several versions of an image I can make Virtual Copies before I make any changes, but sometimes I decide I want a copy of the original image after I've already made many adjustments.  How do I make a copy of the original after I've made many changes?
    I vaguely remember a pulldown menu command in LR1 or so that said "Make copy from original" but I don't see it in LR3.
    Thanks
    Greg

    Well, you can worry about that if you prefer.  But the way I look at it, it's always possible to display a before/after.  So if Lightroom is capable of always showing the before view of the image it seems to me that it should always be able to restore the image to that point.  Remember, none of the changes made in Lightroom are permanent.  All editing is nondestructive.  In other words, the original image data is always intact.  It's good enough for me.  If you want more reassurance then maybe someone else has a better idea.
