Lightroom won't ask how to edit a file when I select "edit in Photoshop CS6"

Yesterday Lightroom suddenly stopped asking how I want the file edited when I select "edit in Photoshop". I opens the file directly in Photoshop without asking do I want to "edit with Lightroom changes", "edit a copy", or "edit original".
I've tried finding a setting to turn this on or off and found nothing. I've tried shutting down. I've even tried removing and reloading both Photoshop and Lightroom. As far as I can tell it has defaulted to always opening with LR edits.
I'm using Lightroom 5.3 and Photoshop CS6 extended version 13.0. I ran updates on both after reloading yesterday. I'm using the Mac versions of the software.
Please help!

Is it possible that you've switched to using Raw (or DNG) files? There is a different process when using a Raw file versus using a rendered file such as Jpeg, Tiff, PSD....and it's only the latter file-types which will prompt the "Edit a copy, Edit original, etc" question. If the ACR levels are compatible (which they will be if your ACR plug-in for PS CS6 is up-to-date) then there will be NO question when using "Edit In...." on a Raw/DNG file, the file is rendered automatically in the background by Photoshop's ACR plug-in, when you then "Save" in PS the now-rendered file (Tiff or PSD, depending on your external editing preference setting) will appear back in Lightroom.

Hi all,
I was getting messages that my Aperture Library was full, so made an appointment at my closest Mac store, but have to wait 2 days. They advise you to update saoftware before coming in, so I updated to Aperture 5.3.1. When I open it, I'm asked to update my library. When I select that option, I'm told that my library is full. Now I can't access my library at all. What should I do to access my library? Do I have to uninstall 5.3.1 and reinstall an older version?
Another problem I have recently encountered ... all the up and down scrollers on various screens have disappeared. They reappear fleetingly when I use my up and down arrowa, but I can't always catch them. How do I get my scrollers back?

Thank you so much for your patient guidance and screen captures.
You are welcome.
My external hard drive is properly formatted for Aperture, so I am currently copying my Aperture library to it. That will take hours since it is copying 101 GB.
o.k.
I understand that I need to clean some space on my internal hard drive and reformat the Aperture library to get back in operation.
You need to upgrade the Aperture library to be used with Aperture 3.5.1. That will happen automatically, when you first double click the copied lirary to open it in Aperture.
I'll also need to back up my external drive with a new external drive if I make space on my internal drive by removing some photos from there and store them on my current external drive.
What do you use for backup? If you are using TimeMachine it is better to have only the Time Machine backup on the Time Machine drive . In that case would I put the Aperture library and other data on a new drive and keep the old drive for backup.

Why are my files not opening in PS, when I select "edit in ps" ?

The external editor is Photoshop CC 2014 (PSD, Profoto, 16bit, 300ppi). When I select edit in ps, ps opens but the file does not. I suspect that I changed a preference somehow in the process of setting up the radial menu for my wacom tablet, or when I deleted Photoshop CC, when I realized that I had both PS CC, and PS CC 2014 on my system. Would appreciate guidance to make necessary corrections, so files open in PS.

See Rikk's response above.
Solution 2: Run a repair mode installation of Photoshop CC 2014 from the Creative Cloud desktop application.

When I Select "Edit in Photoshop," Lightroom sends a JPG instead of a PSD or TIFF

To get started, I'm on LR 5.2RC and Photoshop CS6. All software is up to date and both ACR's are the same at 8.2. And my source files are all JPEG's.
When I select the "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6" option on an image, I get the proper "What to Edit" pop-up window and have the option to edit a copy with LR adjustments, edit a copy, or edit original. My problem is that no matter what option I choose, LR will make a copy of the image as a JPG (rather than a PSD) and send that to Photoshop.
I've gone to LR preferences and tried changing the file format option to TIFF to see if that would work, but same problem...LR still makes a JPG and sends that to PS.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

It sounds to me as if you may be selecting a user-saved external editing preset rather than the built-in Edit in PS option.
PSD / TIFF / JPG are the filetype options for the former, but the latter only allows PSD / TIFF.
If so, such a preset includes a selection of file format, bit depth and colourspace that may differ from the selection seen in the upper part of the External Editing dialog. This preset may not currently appear in the lower part of this dialog either.
The lower part of this dialog is used as a workbench for managing as many editing setup options as you like. These can be named and saved as a preset, or recalled for adjustment and re-saving (update), using the "Preset:" menu.
The "Edit in PS" context menu when used within e.g. Develop, will show any named editing presets you have made below (but only if successfully auto-configured) a built-in "Edit in PS" option which is controlled by the upper part of the dialog mentioned above. The built-in option is not dependent on any user preset. One indication that LR has not properly configured itself for the presence of your PS, is if the additional options (Panorama, HDR, as Layers) do not appear when you highlight more than one image and select Edit in...
This configuration apparently can be "broken" by uninstalling an earlier version of PS, which removes some system configuration that the later PS would be relying on for its LR partnering. Or I guess there may be other causes.
IIRC, usually the answer to that, is a "repair" reinstall of PS - which LR should then properly recognise.
One comment: if PS and LR are configured as "aligned" versions, it is normal to meanwhile see the filetype of the source image file as the document window title within your PS session - even if that source file is Raw, which is not something you can in fact edit using PS. This rather misleading IMO document title, collapses down to an actual proper filename only once the document has been Saved from PS - or if you close PS without saving, no actual file is made at all.
Only then is LR's suggestion of filetype, filename and saving location (as configured in LR's external editing options) implemented for real - though if you instead select Save As, those suggestions can all be overridden by the user, and LR should still auto-import the resulting brand new file.
OTOH, if you are using any external editing preset or if ACR+LR versions are not aligned, the file you see inside PS is always one which has already been saved (and already auto-imported to LR).

How do I get the pixel size at 100% on Photoshop CS6 to match the pixel size that will appear on web

I have a 500px x 500px document open but the size that it looks on Photoshop at 100% does not match the size that is 500px on the web. How do I change it on Photoshop CS6 so that it will give me an accurate display of the pixel size?
(I don't know if this needs to be mentioned but I am working on the new macbook pro and just downloaded the new photoshop update for retina displays).
Thank you in advance!!!

Ask in teh PS forum. Generally, though, pixels are pixels. Perhaps you simply have things backwards - as far as I know by default Safari doubles image sizes on Retina devices, which can lead to such discrepancies. There's an option for that in the prefs.

Hi Sumit,
Option 1). Open Config.xml and delete the Entry for your Shared Library and then Restart the Server.
Option 2). Use the Following ANT build to undeploy your Application

password=”${wls.password}” verbose=”true”
adminurl=”t3://${wls.hostname}:${wls.port}”

Just downloaded ios 7.0.4 for my iphone4 and backed up before doing so. Now that it's been updated and restored I keep being asked to setup my iphone. When I select restore from itunes I keep getting stuck on setup iPhone. Cant get back in phone!

I backed up the phone and updated to ios 7.0.4 which took about 2 hours. Now the phone powers on and says hello in different lagnuages and says to slide to setup. I am asked to choose a network and then if I want to setup as a new iphone, restore from icloud or restore from itunes backup. When I select restore from itunes the screen says "connected to itunes". In itunes I select restore from backup however after a few seconds itunes says that it cannot restore beause there is not enough free space on the iphone. During this attempt to restore I see the home screen and my screen saver and everything for a split second, then the phone powers off.
I see in itunes that all of my photos and data are still on the phone however I cannot get into the iphone.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

How to include external files when building installer for a standalone executable?

Hi,
I was trying to build a stand alone executable from my Labview project and I was able to do it successfully. Now I would like to include a few external .txt files in the installer. Those .txt files have parameters/constants that will be used by the program, and my program needs to load/read them when running. For now I have to manually copy/paste them into the target machine, but I really hope the installer can do it automatically. I see there is a "data" folder in the installer, and that's where I hope those .txt files can be added into.
How can I do it? Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Norbert,
I could not find "Add file" when right clicking the project. See attached image please. Under "Project" I do have a "Add to project" but there is no option for external files. I did not find "Source" location either.
What did i do wrong? Is there any version requirement here? I have a 2010 base version. Thanks for your help.

How to invoke an event when i select one of the items in my JComboBox

Can any one help me for doing this,i have a combobox in a panel,when i select one item in the combobox some text fields below the combobox need to be disabled,that disabled components vary with the item selected,i try to do this by using event listener but some how i could not get invoke the event,pl some one help me for this,any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

The block:
ivjJComboBox1.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
ivjJComboBox1_mouseClicked(e);
usually should be included in your constructor or init method.
The method:
void ivjJComboBox1_mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
String s = (String)ivjJComboBox1.getSelectedItem();
System.out.println(s);
should be outside your constructor or init method.
So it should be:
public class yourClassName extends xxxxx implements xxxxx
public yourClassName (...) {
ivjJComboBox1.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
ivjJComboBox1_mouseClicked(e);
void ivjJComboBox1_mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
String s = (String)ivjJComboBox1.getSelectedItem();
System.out.println(s);

How to keep both file when paste

hi to every one
I would like to know how to keep both files have the same name when I copy one of them to the other folder , since I have tow options only : replace or skip !!!!!!!!!! in windows 8

I suspect that that's how it is supposed to be, Cyber_Defend_Team. However, I can confirm that in Windows 8.1, when I attempt to Copy and Paste files, like from my camera's SD card which starts it's numbering system at 0 each time, to my photo folder,
I only have the following options:
Replace the file in the destination
Skip this file
Compare info for both files
Now, when I choose the Compare info for both files option, I get a secondary dialogue which shows me a thumbnail of both pictures and has a checkbox for each one in two columns (there is also a checkbox at the top of each column for multiple photos to select
all in a given column). I'm given only two buttons on this screen, Continue and Cancel.
As such, Lany Zhang, I don't think that this question can be considered answered as it isn't.
