Lightroom won't export to Photoshop

Hi, I just downloaded the 4.4 update for LR and now when I export an image from Lightroom to edit in Photoshop it doesn't work!! This had happeded before and they send me a link - I think it was the 4.3 update but Idon't remember - but it took forever to get it sorted out. I irgently need to fix this as I am editing a wedding and this will take me forever to edit now!!!!!

I too have this problem and i had it before in 4.0 or 4.3. Now that i have upgraded to 4.4 i have the same problem and i was too looking for the solution. I found a work around which is only a couple of steps instead of just hitting Command and E to send to photoshop.
Just right click in the image you are working on and then select Edit in and you will see photoshop but dont select it, click on Select Program or Open with (cannot remember what it is) and then select your version of photoshop. Once this is done, on your next image just do the same steps, right click on image, edit in and select the second Photoshop in the menu and it will open just fine.
I know its not a fix but its a work around. You can also do a clean install of 4.4 and i think that should fix it. (pain in the *** which i havent done and probably wont do for a while since i cant have lightroom down.
Hope this helps.

Lightroom won't export more than one image at the time

I am having trouble exporting my RAW files as JPEG files. At first Lightroom 4.4 seemed to skip certain photos when exporting and now I'm unable to export more than one image at the time. How can I fix this? I didn't seem to have this problem before the 4.4 update, but then again, the 4.4 update has been running for a few days now. I run on a 32bit Windows 7 with 4GB of RAM.
Lightroom has also been a considerable lot slower since the last couple of days, yet there have been no changes at all to my computer or system or anything - nothing's changed expect for the fact that Lightroom isn't behaving as it used to.
Can anyone help me?

I think I've found the problem - I've accidentally 'synced' my folder instead of importing the RAW files. Which brings me to my next problem and question - I've already edited the RAW files and would really like it if there's a way I could re-import the files without losing my changes/metadata, is there anyway that's possible?

Lightroom 5.6 export to photoshop cc Command E not working

Choosing (Command E) from Lightroom 5.6 to further edit in Photoshop CC 2014 (latest update) is not working. I found a Adobe Photoshop Startup Script that would solve this problem and applied it.
Problem still exists. Photoshop gets no image and if I double click where the image should be I get a finder window where I can select the photo however it will not have the LR adjustments.

This script that Rikk Flohr posted worked for me. You must complete both solutions 1 & 2 which means you have to reload Photoshop CC 15

Lightroom disappears after export to Photoshop

Am working with Lightroom 2.0 on a PowerMac G5, 4 g RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 XT, OS 10.5.4. Each time I send an image out from Lightroom for editing in Photoshop, do a SAVE in PSCS3 and try to return to Lightroom, the browser window is gone and I can't get it back. I have to quit and restart LR to get my content view(s) back. Only the Lightroom menu bar shows. Did not see this problem in LR 1x or in LR 2 beta.

Lightroom won't export

Hello!
I am new to all of this and just downloaded the Lightroom free trial on Wednesday night. Since then I have uploaded around 100 photos, edited them all, and am now ready to export them. I successfully created a Watermark and added that onto my export settings. I requested that Lightroom upload the photos to a specific folder where there are currently no other photos or documents of any kind. I am able to hit the export button and everything is fine except that when it is done, I only see about 15 of the photos in the folder they were supposed to be in out of the 100.
When I return to Lightroom a pop-up comes up saying, "Some export operations were not performed." Then proceeds to give me a list of all of the files that were not exported. The tab that the files are under is labeled, "not enough memory." That doesn't make much sense considering I have over 200GB of space left on my laptop!
If someone could help me out with a few things to try I would be grateful. These are for a client and I've already made her wait almost a week for these photos so I don't want to prolong it too much longer!
If anyone wants any additional information about export settings I used feel free to ask and I'll to my best to give them to you. Thank you much in advance!

If you are going to force a limit of 1K bytes, you probably can't export anything. (In other words, its impossible to export your photo, or just about any photo, at that size). Better you should just export the file with "Resize to Fit" UNchecked, that should work.
I think dj_paige means uncheck 'Limit File Size To:'
Just to be clear this is a different problem than the OP's jojothehorse.

My Lightroom won't export sharp. I have tried everything including creating a new catalog. Is there a bug?

Okay...so I am wondering if there is a bug. I have tried changing the settings as far as sharpening for screen/matte...etc...tried to start a new catalog. Same thing. I am scared to uninstall and reinstall because i already have it on two computers. I don't have the actual cd to download as I did it through the internet. Will it be able to install it again after uninstalling?

Thanks. Unfortunately, all nr/sharpening bugs are supposedly fixed @Lr5.4.
So if seemingly not fixed, it begs the question:
* Is it you? or is it Lightroom?
Does it work as expected in a previous version of Lightroom? (you double-check by downloading and installing a previous version of Lightroom..).
Consider posting a zip file containing:
* one-photo catalog with source file (export one photo as catalog).
* export preset (.lrtemplate file in Export Presets folder along with the rest of your presets/preferences..).
so others can try to reproduce.
If forum upload feature not working for you (it hasn't for me yet), you can use dropbox or yousendit.com.

Lightroom won't export..need help asap please

I was
in the process of exporting some edited photos. After I opened the Export menu I decided to rename the file I had originally downloaded
the files from into Lightroom and that I was going to download the edited photos into as a subfile.
Well when I did that I think I broke the link and now they will not export. When I choose a photo in Lightroom in this batch and I click on the export button it will not even open the export menu.
The export menu works fine will all my other files.
How do I reestablish the link or get Lightroom to recognize the files so I can export them....I am in a bind I need to get this wedding finished today.
Appreciate any help.

If you rename an image or move it to a different location, you can re=link it via the ? on the image thumbnail or by right-clicking on the thumbnail and choosing the Locate option.
If you rename the container the images are in (a "file" in your terminology, or a "folder" in normal terminology) or move the container that the images are in to somewhere else then you can re-link the container by right-clicking on the folder-name in the folder list at the lefthand side and choosing the Locate option.
It seems like you're referring to "folders" as "files" so it is confusing when LR asks you to find the folder.
Perhaps if you tell us the names of an example image and the name of its container before and the names of things after the rename or move, more explicit instructions can be given.
Or maybe it's been 4 hours and you've given up and re-imported and re-edited all your images.

Aperture won't export to photoshop

I keep getting an error message when exporting from aperture to CS4, it is totally random, any clues greatly appreciated.

Sharing the exact text of the error message would save us the step of posting this reply.
What do you mean by "exporting from aperture to CS4"? Are you using the Aperture command "Edit with Adobe Photoshop ... "?

Illustrator won't export to Photoshop

When attempting to export an AI (CS4) file to Photoshop, I get "not enough memory" error. The AI file is only 1.3mb. I have over 100gb of freespace on my mac. I have no other programs open. I have continually restarted Illustrator to clear cache memory and restarted my machine.
Any help?

Illustrator has a maximum limit of raster size it can output. The main variables is uses to calculate this are artwork dimensions and output resolution. Whether anti-aliasing is checked on in the Export dialog also impacts this.
You could try creating the PSD at lower resolution, but a better option usually is to let Photoshop do the rasterization.
From Illustrator, save as PDF (or save as .ai with PDF compatibility turned on) and open that file in Photoshop.

Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?
