Lightroom to bridge and back

After making light-room adjustments, will those adjustments appear in Bridge? I think not, but wish so. Further, how about reverse workflow, bridge adjustments appear in LR?

OK I had a look and now this sounds foggy:
"Read metadata from file"
Is this an always setting, or per selected file. And then, if you further work the file in LR, will that add to the previous settings from bridge, which I want it to. Then it looks like you have to make the other selection in the metadata menu: "Save meta data to file" . I just want to make changes wherever I am, LR or bridge, and have them stick wherever I make them. And further yet, with these xmp data changes, will the sliders settings and stuff translate between programs, or will just the corrected appearance of the image appear? (meaning if clarity is set to "50" in bridge, will it show "50" in LR,or just show the effect?)
Thanks for your help !

  • Syncing Labels from Lightroom to Bridge and vice versa.

    The labels in Lightroom over-ride those in Bridge and vice versa.  I have matched the descriptions of the coloured Labels between Lightroom 2.0 and Bridge, yet when I assign eg. a Green Label in Lighroom and then open Bridge, the Label appears White.  If I select those White Labels in Bridge and make them Green, then return to Lightroom and Sync the folder, those formerly Green Labels are converted to White.
    Same thing happens with the Reject Flag in Lightroom.  It appears as a White Label in Bridge, which I can understand and wouldn't be a problem, were it not for other Coloured Labels in Lightroom displaying as White in Bridge.
    Any one have an explanation for this and more importantly a solution.  Thanks.

    I think you have to assign the exact same name to what the colors represent in both Bridge preferences and in Lightroom preferences.
    I don't even remember what the default names Adobe assigns to each of them. I changed the words to the right of the Label colors to read "Red", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", etc.
    When in Lightroom I have to "Save Metadata to File" and then when I browse to that folder in Bridge I see the correct Label color.

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and back logic

    Hi Lightroom/Photoshop wizards,
    I work in LR and PS CC.  I am now working for someone else and want to make sure that our edited images end up in lightroom after editing in a logical manner so that we can easily see which images will be used for our photo albums.
    Here is how I am working:
    Import photos into LR, give 4 star rating to images that will go into album
    Make some LR edits
    Edit photo with PS (directly from LR)
    Save image in PS
    go through all images to hand pick the ones that I want in the album (now there are copies) This is the part where everything falls apart.  I end up with redundant files and I can't distinguish the finished ones (other than looking one by one to determine the correct version to use).  Is there a logical way to handle this?
    Export to separate "album" folder selected images
    Also, one extra question, If I am working with high res jpegs (rather than raw), how do I maintain the size of the files?  I exported original file and it did not carry with it any changes made in Lightroom.
    Thanks!
    Lisa

    I am sorry if I was not clear. I was thinking that there might be a quick and simple way to identify or flag images that I want to track for say and album.  I want to eliminate any confusion or taking the wrong version of a file.  Perhaps I should just ask what a reliable, logical workflow is when working in LR/PS round tripping.  Perhaps making PS edits first, then Lr changes?  I want the simplest, cleanest, logical, least amount of confusion when working on images for an album.  Having 2 or 3 versions of the same image can lead to confusion.  Some of our images will not be edited in PS, others will.
    No, you certainly want to edit photos in LR first, and then if necessary send them to PS for additional edits that are not available in LR.
    I'm still not clear about "eliminate any confusion". What confusion? As I said, the photos that have been edited by PS will have the word "edit" in the file name, while the photos that have not been sent to Photoshop will not have "edit" in the file name. Also, when you send a file to PS, you can ask LR to stack the PS edited version with the version that has not been sent to PS, thus keeping the pair side-by-side in the Library module.
    My second question is exporting out jpegs without losing any resolution - basically copying the files to another folder for example "edited album images" folder and keeping them in the lr database.  Is there a way to do this through Lr?  When I chose "export" and "original" lr edits did not carry through.
    So in your first message, you spoke of file size, and now you speak of resolution. These are not the same. So which is it? To maintain the resolution, you uncheck the box that says "Resize to Fit".
    I don't understand why you want to copy files to some other folder, Lightroom provides collections and keywords and plenty of other tools to allow you to organize and identify these photos for whatever purpose you want. So you would use these tools to achieve the organization of your original photos or the Photoshop edited versions of the photos. Without a clear justifcation, I would say that in most cases there is not a need to achieve organization of exported photos. Furthermore there is no "copy" command in Lightroom (except at import which we don't seem to be talking about).
    Reading between the lines, it sounds like you want to export to save your edits and then maintain some organization of your edited photos? Is that  correct? As I said, there is no need to do this (nor is it an effective way to proceed). You perform the organization of your photos in Lightroom, no need to export simply to organize. Exporting is performed when the photo is needed outside of Lightroom for some non-Lightroom purpose (e.g. e-mail, web, print, use in some other program).

  • Exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom shows different results in Lightroom than in Photoshop

    I has set the color space to ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have also calibrated my monitor.
    But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
    Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.

    Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and back question

    When I export a photo from Lightroom into Photoshop, I make my edits, and then I select save.  In Photoshop the photo changes to a psd file as it should.  But when I go back into Lightroom, the photo does not appear in the original folder it was sent from.  It appears in a new folder that I did not create.  When I try to "move" the picture from this new folder back to it's original folder it says that the file already exists in the original folder, but there is NO photoshop edited picture in that original folder - only in the new folder.  I know I must have a setting wrong, but I have searched and searched and I can't figure out what is wrong.   I can't seem to figure out how to get the photos to go from Lightroom into Photoshop back into Lightroom and end up sitting next to the original picture in the folder it came from.!  Any ideas?  I am using Lightroom 5.4 (everything is up to date) and Photoshop CC (latest version).  I have a Macbook Pro computer.

    Sure.  Here are two images.  The first one is of the original picture in it's original folder.  The second one is of the edited picture in the "new" folder that Photoshop/Lightroom created.  I left the photo info on the picture so you can see it.  Any help would be so much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Lightroom to PS and back

    Hi,  After sending a photo to PS from Lightroom 2, editing it, and returning it to Lightroom, I no longer get the
    message in the history panel "edit in external application" and the date of said edit, like I used to get in Lightroom 1.4. 
    I'd really like that back; any thoughts on how I might accomplish it?  Thanks!

    I didn't realize it was gone, but a quick test shows there's no indication as you mention.
    If you're still on v 2.0, you probably should update to 2.3 for other reasons. Just d/l from the Adobe site, and install- it's a complete version, not a patch or updater.

  • Problem: Lightroom to Elements and back

    I can get an image from Lightroom 3 to Photoshop Elements 8 (Mac) but I can't seem to get back. Even after saving and closing the image in Elements it is not visible in Lightroom.
    Also, since I just changed printers I have new icc files. I have those in a place Lightroom seems to be able to find them but Elements doesn't see them. I checked around on line and thought I had copied the icc files to the right library for Elements but it still does not see them.
    Thank you.

    Also, what's the source of your view in LR? If it's "Previous Import", you'll not be able to see the TIFF passed back to LR, try "All Photographs".

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and Back

    I am working on improving my workflow and have a slant on what appears to be a common question.
    If I make a series of changes to a DNG in Lightroom 4.3, then switch to Photoshop CS6 for additional changes (like removing blemishes and softening an image, I know some of this can be done in LR now, but bear with me). Is it possible to return to Lightroom and change a setting (like white balance) and have the change reflected in Photoshop?
    I recently spent an hour in Photoshop fixing various defects in an image only to discover I did not like the final white balance. I updated the white balance and had to redo all my Photoshop tweeks.
    Any tips for a new user?
    Matthew

    No. I would not adjust the white balance in Photoshop because Lr can do that better.
    Yes, in Photoshop you can do a intricate curve with black-point, white-point, and several neutral points in-between - but how often is that needed?
    Apart from images that I edit in Photoshop because I want to do layers, and other things that Lr cannot do (for instance that intricate curve), I use Photoshop only for the clone tool, the patch tool, and the content-aware fill. Everything else I do in Lr - simply because its easier and also because its non-destructive. In Lr I can always "undo" by going back in the history palette.
    If I want non-destructive in Photoshop I have to use adjustement layers. But that increases file size dramatically.
    Before we had Lr, I was using Photoshop for everything. Now I'm hardly using it because Lr does it easier.
    So, my workflow is this: If an image needs editing in Photoshop, I do it right away - before doing anything in Lr. After that I stay in Lr without returning to Photoshop.

  • Lightroom to photoshop and back on a Mac

    Hi
    I appear to have an intermitent problem ..........
    When I take on image from a collection in Lightroom into Photoshop, clicking on Lightroom edits, to complete the necessary edits and then click  save the image doesn't appear in the collection.
    The image appears in the original folder but not the collection. This doesn't happen all the time but is time consuming when it does.
    Any ideas?
    Manks in advance

    Command Z works for me on Lightroom - always has.

  • How can I integrate metadata and keywords in Lightroom with those in Photoshop, Bridge, and Photoshop Elements? In other words, is there a way to retrieve common metadata templates from all modules? Thanks!

    Keyword and Metadata Integration throughout Adobe Modules

    Thanks! That's helpful.
    What I mean by "common metadata", is a unified, updated, most current metadata, which I could update in each program. That is without overwriting the metadata, but appending new keywords to the metadata I created in the previous program.
    I use Bridge, then Lightroom and finally Photoshop. That's the regular workflow: Bridge for preliminary sorting and and adding some keywords; Lightroom for organizing and picking the best images; finally, Photoshop for processing. I got Photoshop Elements on trial. Doesn't work for my purposes.
    I need to share and update the metadata / keywords when I go from one program into another. Can't retrieve metadata I set up in Bridge into Lightroom. Same happens with Photoshop, where I can't retrieve keywords I add in Lightroom. It's tedious to write up the keywords again.
    Thanks for your efforts!

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
      Derek Randall

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

  • I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

    I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom  export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
    I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
    Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
    Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
    Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
    Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
    This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
    Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
    Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
    Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
    Thanks, Marie

    Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
    In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
    The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

  • Why does Adobe Bridge and Lightroom not recognise some jpeg files?

    I am trying to use Adobe Bridge and/or Lightroom to add tags to a large number of images that I have. However when adding images, almost 1000 of the 6900 images fail to import to the Lightroom gallery and the same images do not preview and will not let me edit their metadata in Bridge.
    If this has happened to anybody else I would greatly appreciate some help.
    Alternatively if anybody knows of other programs i can use to easily add tags to many many images please let me know =)
