Lightroom will not open in Photoshop.

When I try to open images in Photoshop from LR i get this message, "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at C:\ .....NEF for editing it will not be opened".
Please help.

Yes, the RAW files don't offer the chance to open the original. It makes sense as it would have to open them in Adobe Raw first anyway.
So, it seems that both Vista and XP have this problem. And yet it puzzles me (and I'm sure tech support) that so few of us are having this issue. My setup is a brand new HP laptop so I don't think it's a configuration problem.
I mentioned above that I read the Beta had this issue with some folks. Clearly Adobe are not getting to the bottom of it all yet. Let's look forward to their patches which, no doubt, will be posted soon.
It's a shame because I love this software.

    Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Ferdinand12345,
    Cannon 7D mark II has been included in the ACR 8.7. I would advise you to wait for the 8.7 camera raw to release.
    In the meanwhile you can go to labs.adobe.com and download the 8.7 DNG converter and convert the files to DNG and then try to import.
    Thanks

  • Some images saved in Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6

    We have confirmed that some files saved from Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6. This is due to a bug in Photoshop 6, not in CS.
    These files open correctly in Photoshop 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 7 and CS on both platforms.
    The solution is to upgrade the copies of Photoshop 6 to Photoshop CS.

    Hi sig,
    I actually did try reinstally Photoshop - even reinstalled my operating system. I looked for the file "Adobe Unit Types" and see that it is indeed there in the ScriptingAdditions folder. But I still cannot open the tif files.
    I should also mention all my tif files have the .tif extension on them (in case anyone suggests that's the issue.)
    And, this problem is the same with Illustrator CS .ai files as well.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

    You're welcome!  It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.
    What counts is that you are back in business.

    I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?

    Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

    It would help to know your OS.

  • Lightroom 5.5 files will not open in Photoshop 2014

    Hi. Just updated Lightroom to 5.5, and Photoshop to CC 2014, using the CC updater. Now, when in Lightroom, Command E, or the menu selection, will not open my files in Photoshop. Any ideas?

    ssprengel Your suggestion about uninstalling and re-installing worked for me . Thank you.

  • "Recovered" CR2 files will not open in Photoshop CS6

    My son recently completed the National Three Peaks Challenge. Regrettably, having taken loads of pictures, he discovered that one of the CF cards was corrupt. He and his fellow climbers have now paid a company (a considerable sum) to recover these photos and they are all showing as CR2 files. Unfortunately, neither Photoshop or any other program that he has (including Preview) will not open them. The images from the uncorrupted files are fine.
    As you can imagine, he is desperate to get these images back so if anyone has any bright ideas as to where we go from here we would really appreciate it. Thanks in anticipation.

    Thanks for your suggestion, normfb, which I passed on to my son. He has come back with the following answer -
    "Tried the DNG converter, didn't even recognise there was a file in the folder I told it to look in!
    The issue is that no programs be it Photoshop, that DNG converter, Lightroom or Preview are able to recognise that file format."
    Appreciate the idea though.

  • RAW (NEF) photos from my new Nikon D750 will not open with Photoshop Elements11 Camera RAW.

    RAW (NEF) photos from my new Nikon D750 will not open in Camera RAS with Photoshop Elements 11. This has not been a problem with previous Nikon cameras. I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.5. How can I solve this problem?  Thanks.

    Aside from upgrading to pse 13, you can use the 8.7.1 adobe dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which pse 11 should then open.

  • I just purchased and installed CC "photography" and lightroom will not open D750 files.

    It says that all updates have been done and are current.  I have LR4 installed, do I need to uninstall it?
    For what it is worth, PS will not open them either...
    I installed CameraRaw 9.0 as an option, but that does not seem to have done the trick either?
    Not super happy with the CC for the first try, very unimpressive.

    Just for information - ACR has no relevance whatsoever on whether Lr will open a file.
    The D750 has been supported since November 2014 (Lr 5.7) so you're either using an older version of Lr, or - depending on what actually happens when Lr "doesn't work" - this might be (as Steve mentions above) down to something like the files having been touched by Nikon software on import (which does something to the file headers that renders them unreadable by Lr); or a problem with the Write permissions on your machine.
    So - some actual details of what you're seeing would be helpful, along with your OS.

  • My catalog will not open in Photoshop Elements 3.0

    I had to reinstall the program and it worked fine.  I was able to restore all my pictures.  Today when I tried to open it the "my Catalog" will not open.  I've tried refreshing, restarting the system, restoring to yesterday and nothing has helped.  What should I try next? 

    What error message do you see upon opening your catalog?
    Thanks

  • DNG files will not open in photoshop when launched from lightroom

    This just started, I can't open DNG files in photoshop when launching from within lightroom.  Not sure how to fix this.  the dng files launch fine from bridge.

    As for your issue with DNGs in CS, did you bother to update ACR to version 2.4?
    See the detailed instructions on the download page.
    >What I need to know is whether or not my PS CS will work with files converted by Adobe DNG.
    Of course ACR will, if you correctly install Adobe Camera Raw 2.4.
    No version of Photoshop opens raw or DNG files, only ACR does, hosted by Photoshop. But you do need at least version 2.4 of ACR, which was the first to support DNGs.

  • D800 RAW files will not open in Photoshop CS6

    I have just installed the CS6 upgrade to Photoshop CS4 Extended, but now the software will not read the RAW files from my D800.
    I have followed Adobe's instructions to check that I have the correct RAW plug-in (7.0.0.308) which I have.  I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled the software without success.  I do not want to convert my RAW files into DNG files, so I have ignored that step.
    The 'Open in Photoshop' instruction in Lightroom 4 does not open my D800 RAW files either, although the files can be opened in Lightroom 4 OK.
    Any idea what the problem is?

    Brilliant!  ACR 7.1 Beta allows D800 RAW files to be opened within CS6 and it also allows Photoshop 4 to open D800 RAW files in Photoshop CS6.
    It says that the Beta version will expire on 30/6/2012 after which it will keep advising on a daily basis although it will still work.  Any idea, what happens next?   Does Adobe issue a proper ACR 7.1 and distribute it as part of the update service?
