Lightroom to Photoshop questions and ACR problems

I have Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS5.
I've been working between the two with no problem until recently.
When i move a photo from LR to PS5:
1. I get the message that "This version of LR may require Camera Raw  Plug in version 8.5 for full compatibility. Please update...."
        When i go into PS it says no updates available.
2.When I move the photo anyway from LR to PS5 the file is blurry. Slightly off definitely not the same.
Help
Thanks

Anyhow: Please look here: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back...

  • Saving Jpeg in Photoshop CS4 and having problems

    Okay, i have been looking all over the internet and i hope it's something really foolish...
    After editing a photo in Photoshop (CS4) and saving it as a JPEG / JPG, many people using windows can't open the file, and it gets the extension .JPGG ( ...?... )
    If I import the picture in Iphoto first and then mail it ther is no problem.
    perhaps this is quite obvious to some, but it's a mystery to me.
    To update my website i need to save my JPG files to an XML folder and then flash reads the files and opens them in the site.
    The JPG files i saved using photoshop won't open in the site, even worse, the site won't even load because the loader gets 'stuck'.
    i tried putting them in Iphoto first because that helped with with mailing, but it doesn't seem to be working this time.
    I've tried all the JPG saving options like Baseline etc. converted them to RGB ( they already were) so i'm out of options.
    ANYONE ?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I have CS3 so don't know if there's major changes to the formatting process by each version. That may be a question to ask in the Adobe support forum.
    However, for a workaround you might try using the Automator workflow I created to change any image file to jpg with the sRGB color profile. Just drag the files onto the workflow icon and they will be converted. You can get it, "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile", at Toad's Cellar. See if those jpgs will work OK. There will be some jpeg compression applied but if they are for posting on the web it may not be objectionable.
    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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Lightroom develop, Photoshop Raw and Smart objects

    I understand that Lightroom's Develop function and Photoshop Raw adjustments are the same.  So I adjust in either or.  I can then open the photo as a smart object in photoshop. I can then make further adjustments as an adjustment layer. Which I think is the same as both Lightroom's Develop function and Photoshop Raw adjustments?  I understand smart objects allows non destructive editing and smart filters.
    SO my questions are: When would you not open the photo as a smart object? Surely I should always open the photo as a smart object?  If I want to do any editing not allowed to smart objects such as clone stamp I can then create a layer and then apply the clone stamp to the layer, can't I?
    Secondly, should I also convert all layers to smart layers or leave them as a normal layer.
    Or thirdly, am I way off track?

    If I want to do any editing not allowed to smart objects such as clone stamp I can then create a layer and then apply the clone stamp to the layer, can't I?
    And that is where the underlying Smart Object starts losing (some of) its usefulness.
    Because all those edits will be unaffected if you should choose to change the development settings of the embedded RAW.
    Secondly, should I also convert all layers to smart layers or leave them as a normal layer.
    What for?
    Unless you want to non-destructively apply transformations or Filters or need several instances of something in one file it would mainly cause a drag on performance. (Edit: or bloat the files’s size)
    But in those cases Smart Objects offer significant advantages.

  • Moving images from Lightroom to Photoshop 2014 CC – Color Problems?

    For some reason, whenever I select "Edit in Photoshop 2014 CC", the image color is not only extremely different from what's displayed in Lightroom, it's dark and dull. However, if I export the image as a .jpg and then import it into Photoshop 2014 CC the color looks the same as what's displayed in Lightroom and this is with NO color correction.
    Why is this happening and how should I be moving files between the two apps? BTW, I shot the images with a Canon T3i that saves the image as a CR2 and JPG.
    Thanks!

    I'm running Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" works fine for me. I'm on an iMac and had Lightroom installed first, only thing I noticed is it takes PS a little longer to open up.

  • Lightroom 4.2 catalog and importing problems

    I have imported photos into the catalog but when I go to import new photos from the same folder it does not recognize the already imported photos and lists them as new photos still.  Also, it won't import any video files of any extension even though all are listed on the Lightroom website as valid and usable extensions.  On top of that dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe32 is constantly running, even after Lightroom is shut down.  Any ideas?

    Akrider,
    Could you please post a screenshot of the import window you use while importing the files.
    My guess is that there are some wrong settings which you have selected while importing the files in Lightroom.
    Please follow the link below which has step by step instructions to import the files in LR and can tell where the settings might have gone bad.

  • Photoshop saving and preview problem in Mavericks

    Using photoshop CS3 in Mavericks and I get a ‘can't save file because it is already in use or was left open’ message when I try and save a photoshop file.
    Found a fix online which is to turn off ‘Show preview column’ in show view options, but this is a pain because I like to have the preview with image and file info.
    Is there a way around this, seems a strange way to get around this problem.

    Three things:
    • You need to make sure you have updated to Photoshop 10.0.1, Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw (ACR) 4.6.
    • You need to purge the cache for the offending folders through the Tools menu in Bridge.
    • You need the Bridge forum:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_macintosh?view=discussions&start=0#
    Please post there if you need further Bridge help.
    Raw files from the D300 are not supported by the old, obsolete version of ACR that gets installed by default by CS3.  What you're seeing now is the embedded JPEG preview only, not the converted raw.   That's why you have to upgrade to ACR 4.6

  • How to always show rulers in Photoshop CS5 and other problems

    Does anyone know how to make Photoshop CS5 always show rulers in mac? I have not have this issue with any other PS. I need the rulers to drag guides contantly, but photoshop cs5 would not show the rulers automatically. Everytime I have to go to View --> Show rulers or the shortcut command + R. Is there a way to instruct Photoshop to always show rules with any file I open or create?
    I have many other issues with Photoshop CS5 that CS2, 3, and 4 had out of the box... It is very frustrating that I spent all this money and instead of working, I have been on the phone with Adobe for hours... I am very disappointed so far.
    I have had CS5 Master's Collection for 2 months now on Mac 10.6.7. I have reinstalled Photoshop 3 times as some shortcuts were not working like shift plus scroll to inscrease to 100%, 200%, etc.
    The other thing that still does not work and Adobe has not offered a solution is that my Photoshop would not append extensions. Regardless of the Preferences settings, all my files get saved as JPG instead of jpg... I wonder if any of you out there have this issue as well?
    Thank you.

    I believe my computer and its account are healthy. I just bought the mac pro with solid state and the only programs I have installed are the Master Collection CS5.
    I have good news though - After two months of waiting, I was finally able to speak with Adobe specialists yesterday and they changed the shortcut for Save As that Photoshop ships with from Command + Alt + S to Command + Shift + S - and miraculously now Photoshop appends extensions!!!
    However, my question about always displaying rulers remains. We got disconnected and I didn't have a chance to ask them (I was on hold for an hour and a half!)

  • Photoshop CS5 and 3D problem

    Hi!
    I installed photoshop CS5 Extended and unfortunatelly the 3D menu options are all grayed out.
    My graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 3600
    I enabled the OpenGL drawing. In the Preferences menu the 3D panel was active after i turned on the OpenGL drawing, but everytime I want to use some 3D feature the program tells that  - for example: "The command create 3D from 2D is not currently available." OR "The command create repoussé from layer mask is not currently available."
    I don't know what could be the problem or maybe I need better graphic card?

    Hi, for some strange reason all of the 3D menus in my CS5 extended are not displayed on my workstation but up and active on my laptop and I just cannot find the reason why. I have a Radeon 4870HD 1GB DDR5 and have downloaded the latest drivers including open gl3.2 but it makes no difference, have you any idea would could be wrong.
    I have looked in Menus and all of the data is there but it just wont display on the menu bar, its driving me nuts!
    Many thanks David

  • Another photoshop CS3 and Yosemite problem

    Upgraded iMac to OS x 10.10.1 and now find that Photoshop CS3 (606) crashes after launch. It seems to make progress to the point where the menu bar is presented and then crashes. I've searched for others with this problem and tried various recommended fixes such as re-installing Java SE6, Java for OS X 2014-001, running the 'Reinstall Photoshop' utility . . . no change. Crash report includes;
    Crashed Thread:        15
    Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    Exception Codes:       KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
    Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

  • Battery Questions and RAM problems in TP S531

    Hey there,
    I got my first Thinkpad (S531) about a month ago and the good news is I really like working with a Thinkpad. However, there are a few things and issues that reading the forums did not yet solve.
    First a bit of technical info about my system:
    Model: Thinkpad S531
    OS: Win 8.1 (self-install)
    CPU: Intel Core i5 3337U @1.8Ghz
    RAM: 6 GB (2GB+4GB)
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD8670M (+Intel HD Graphics 4000)
    1) Battery Life.
    I know there are plenty of posts about this but I have a quite specific question all the forum posts I found couldn't answer: Does the battery at the point where the power level reaches 100% stop charging and power is taken only from the power connenctor? If so, is there a way of only charging the battery up to about 80% and then start using only the connector for power supply?
    2) RAM.
    I bought my Thinkpad with 6GB RAM installed, a fixed 2 GB piece somewhere fixed on the motherboard and a 4GB piece in a normal RAM slot. Now, I know that this isn't ideal for dualchannelling, but that's got nothing to do with this problem. Rather it seems, that Windows only manages to access 2GB, according to what I read from the Task Manager (screenshot attached) What can I do to make all 6GB accessible?

    Hello Ihateallfruit,
    It sounds like you are concerned about the Standby Time increasing using your battery excessively. Here is some info about what the Standby Time indicates and why it keeps counting up when the device is asleep from the article named:
    iOS: About standby and usage time
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1805
    View Standby to see the amount of time the device has been turned on since its last full charge, including the time the device has been asleep.
    Here is another webpage that you can use to help optimize your settings to extend your battery life:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Leopard problem changing number values in the tools

    I know that Adobe has mentioned on their site that this is a known problem and that the fix is going to come from a Leopard update. I have not seen anything on this problem from the Mac side so I am wondering when a fix can likely be expected. The Adobe link is http://www.adobe.com/support/pdfs/PhotoshopCS3_LeopardIssue.pdf
    Any clue?

  • Photoshop performance and redraw problems

    Hello,
    I'm running Photoshop CS5.1 x64 12.1 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine with all updates installed and the latest AMD 13.9 drivers for my HD6850 card. The PC has 8GB RAM.
    Whenever I zoom in, there is an annoying redraw effect whereby the image "tears" as it's redrawn in "squares". This is not the usual vsyncless tear because if i simply scroll the image left and right it does not happen. To fix this, I can enable OpenGL and the tearing will be gone. However, when OpenGL is enabled the brushes lag quite badly. Sometimes it takes a full second from the moment I start a stroke to the moment it appears on screen. I've set OpenGL to basic and disabled all other options such as vsync and anti-aliasing. I've tried setting the cache levels to 8 and all cache tile sizes, restarting PS after each setting change. I've found it impossible to eliminate PS's non-OpenGL zoom tearing and brush lag when OpenGL is enabled, so I'm forced to fix one and live with the other.
    I'd appreciate any advice, thank you.

    I guess you'll have worked through the steps in this link?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    It sounds like you are seeing the tiles that Photoshop splits the screen into.  You really need Chris Cox to give you the best settings and other advice, but this might be one of those times when the 'Tall and thin/Default/Big and fat' options make a difference.  I'm going to hazard a guess that setting a smaller tile size would be best.  Short of a system upgrade that is.

  • I have Photoshop CS6 and having problems since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10?

    It is slower and the lasso tools don't work as well as before

    First, report problems with MacOS 10.10 to Apple so they can get the information they need to solve the problems introduced in MacOS 10.10.
    Second, make sure FileVault is off (a few people have seen performance problems with it on).

  • VGA cable question, and a problem

    My PowerBook is connected to my 17" LCD via the cable that was included with the monitor. I bought a replacement VGA cable the other day. (I needed the original VGA cable to connect my Mac mini to the TV.) The original cable works perfectly with both the LCD and the TV. With the new cable there's visible ghosting appearing when connected to both the LCD and to the TV. What the ****? It's a brand new cable. It's a "Replacement/Switchbox Cable VGA/SVGA High Desnsity DB15 Male/Male" cable. Is that what I need? I noticed that the original cable has 15 pins and the new cable only has 14. Is that the problem? I didn't see any 15 pin cables at CompUSA.
    Do I have a bad cable? To I need to return it in exchange for something else? What gives?

    Welcome to the discussions Michael,
    It sounds like a poor quality cable - either an individual dud or just a bad brand. I wouldn't worry about the missing pin - VGA cables have three pins that aren't used for anything, so manufactures often leave one or more of them out.
    Take it back and look for a good quality shielded cable. Ask the the staff if necessary. It may cost you more than you spent on the one you currently have. Try looking for a Belkin cable - they're usually a good brand (assuming your current cable isn't made by them...)
