Losing LR4 adjustments when editing in PS CS5

Sometimes when I want to edit a LR edited photo in PS, even when I open a copy with LR adjustments, some of those settings get lost when the PS file opens, especially brush adjustments. How can I fix this??

When you use "Edit in Photoshop", the ACR version that is available becomes relevant.
Photoshop CS5 does not support the ACR 7.x versions which would have maintained full compatibility with Lightroom 4.x.
Photoshop CS5 supports only ACR 6.x versions, which are fully compatible with Lightroom 3.x but only partly compatible with Lightroom 4.x.
When ACR 6.7 was made available, this restored some compatibility to CS5 so that Edit in PS worked fine much of the time. However subsequent updates of LR4 have drifted a little out of sync with that - although matched ACR 7.x updates have allowed Photoshop CS6 users to keep 100% intercompatible.
When a non-compatible version of ACR is detected by LR (one which cannot be guaranteed to interpret the LR settings correctly) LR brings up a dialog where you can select either "Render using Lightroom" or "Open anyway" or "Cancel". The first option guarantees an accurate conversion, since it is then LR not ACR which is made responsible. The second option still has ACR do the conversion, despite the incompatibility.
If you are not seeing this option presented each time (perhaps because you have previously checked the "don't show again" box) - you can re-activate it in LR Preferences / General tab / "Reset all warning dialogs".

  • Lightroom 5 does not export my adjustments when editing in Photoshop 6, although I have selected "edit a copy w/ LR adjustments"

    I am a Mac user and I started to experience that my Lightroom 5 would no longer send the adjustments I have made to photoshop 6 even though I have selected the option for it do to so. I have searched online to fix this issue with no luck, I tried deleting the com.adobe.photoshop.plist and it did not resolve the issue.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    (Sometimes I have answers, but usually only more questions.)
    Are other adjustments coming across--for example if you max out the Exposure sliders does the TIF end up lighter?  You could be editing the original not the LR version.
    Are other new adjustments for LR5/ACR8 coming across--for example Uprights?  If you have an image with rectangular architectural features shot at a perspective angle, and you correct them in LR using one of the Uprights (Lens-Correction / Basic) options does Edit In w LR Adjustments include them?
    If neither Uprights or Radial Filters are coming across, that would only make sense if you're actually using ACR 8.6 with PS-CS6 (not ACR 7.1) and you're not getting asked any question about with LR Adjustments, and are just assuming you're getting LR adjustments, when instead PS is rendering things using ACR which purposely doesn't allow new LR 5/ACR8-only features.
    Another symptom of this situation would be that the filename in PS is the same as it was in LR, not with an -Edit on the end of the filename.
    You can force LR to edit a copy if you define Photoshop.exe as an external editor and use Edit in Photoshop.exe instead of Edit in Photoshop.

  • HUGE file sizes when editing with Photoshop CS5

    Reluctantly I've set Photoshop CS5 up to process photographs for things like barrel distortion that my 18-200 Nikon seems especially prone to.
    I open any given photograph with apple-shift-O, make my changes and save. However, the copy that's then put back into Aperture 3 the file size comes out as anything between 30mb and 70mb per photograph - far too big.
    I've tried both TIFF 16-bit) and PNG (16-bit) options in Aperture which makes no difference. I've had a look through Photoshop CS5 options but can't see anything which looks correct.
    Thanks

    I can only assume that it's like this because Aperture 3 only basically allows 2 options, to open in an external editor with either TIFF or PSD - both of which are undesirable because of their huge filesizes. Is there a way of making it open in an external editor with JPEG?
    Like jade said, it is not ridiculous. Ideally you would be shooting RAW not (lossy) JPEG to start, but even if you do shoot lossy JPEG you should convert to a lossless format like TIFF or PSD for the entire process of any editing. Large file sizes are a good thing not a bad thing because larger sizes represent more image data. And, hard drive capacity is cheap.
    Note that JPEG is a lossy compression algorithm, so when you open a JPEG in Aperture, Photoshop, whatever, the file is decompressed and becomes larger. You can again compress the file (such as back to JPEG) when done editing but be aware that each new compression by a lossy algorithm like JPEG loses image data and may also add undesirable visible artifacts.

  • Shapes disappear when editing anchor points (CS5)

    Hello,
    Some of my shapes simply disappear on mouse button release after moving anchor points or adjusting the bezier angle. The edit history does not mention any deletion; the event is registered as "move point" so I can "edit->undo move point" to have my shapes reappear.
    This looks like a bug to me, but I'm quite new to Flash - I may have missed something.

    Here is what they are referring to if this does not happen on everyone's then it is a common enough issue to figure out a solution but as far as I know it has always been this way, if anyone is seeing it differently we should know how they work around it so we can all benefit.
    I agree if you want to draw a shape over other objects say as a clipping mask then you should not have to have a stroke which can be one distracting and two you prevent you from seeing an important small detail that might be important.
    It might also be useful to be able to make this guide vary in width to mimic a stroke to see how it will effect the underlying art. I know why not just use the stroke and give it a color and transparency which is not the point the idea that you are creating art and you want to investigate you possibilities before driving yourself crazy selecting stroke colors and widths is the issue. It is more for the visual process and not finalized art and we are use to using the layer color to let use know what layer it is on so a color will only interfere.
    It would be good to change this behavior and get everyone's input here of how they would like to see this drawing capability improved IMO.
    I think it is a good issue to bring to the surface once again.

  • CS5 Hangs when editing photo from LR4

    Group - I just got off the phone with Adobe support and they indicated this problem is a known problem in LR4 and suggested getting help from the experts at Adobe Labs.
    I was part of the LR4 beta test and never experienced this before.
    The problem occurs when I try to edit a photo in CS5 from LR4 (using the 'edit in' link) on a Mac.
    CS5 opens and then just hangs (my mac indicates that CS5 is not responding) and I have to use 'Force Quit.'
    Are there any work-arounds.  The Adobe help center indicated that the 4.1 beta may not have this problem, but they couldn't recommend it.
    I tried accessing CS5 from Bridge and that produced the same 'hang' problem.
    Thanks for your help.
    Chris

    Wahooo!  I think I found the problem with the hang on choosing submenus.  Thanks Chris and Jeffrey for you rapid responses on this issue.
    The source of the slow down is a great little utility of OS X called "RightZoom" by blazingtools.   It's a cool app that lets intercepts clicks in application and folder windows on the expand button and opens the window corner to corner of the screen.  It works well but sometimes does not play nice with application interfaces.  I actually need a better brain cause I had an issue related with Illustrator CS4 and selecting with the direct selection tool.
    There are two options to correct the delay:
    1.  Disable Right Zoom.  - you can kill the task using activity monitor, then go to your System Prefs > Accounts > Log in items and remove RightZoom from the list.
    2. You can add Photoshop to the RightZoom application exceptions list.  Kill RightZoom, find the RightZoom app in your applications folder and hold the Command key down, then double click to launch which will open the configuration window.  To add an application to the list of exceptions, it has to be running.  So Launch Photoshop if it is not running and then you will see it as an option to Except.
    I am likely just behind the times on the second issue mentioned, which is that the keystroke shortcuts listed in submenus don't have qualifier keys.  Like "shift" + B to toggle through the brush options, for example.
    Thanks, James.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 function does not carry over all Lightroom adjustments

    LR 3.3 with ACR 6.3
    After selecting "Edit in CS5" I do not get the dialogue box asking if I would like to apply Lightroom adjustments.
    Image opened in CS5 includes some adjustments from the Develop Module, but not the Transform Lens Corrections that I had applied.
    Anyone have tips on how to fix this?
    Thanks much.

    OK, I managed to figure it out.  I had been getting a warning box about Camera Raw 6.5, which my "about Lightroom 3..." shows that I have.  I had been selecting "open anyway" and was losing the transforms so I just tried "render using Lightroom" and it worked fine.

  • Lr adjustments doesn´t turn up when editing in Ps?

    Lr adjustments doesn´t turn up when editing in Ps. I can see there´s many others who experience the same problem right now. Anybody who knows a solution or is it some bug with the latest update of Ps?

    I think the answer to your "how long for the fix?" question will very much depend on a couple of things really:
    1. The time taken in finding the problem and working up and testing a fix.
    2. Where the problem lies. If it's a Lightroom problem, then in reality you'll be looking at the next dot release (5.4) at the earliest. Typically these are released every 3 months or so, which means another 6 weeks or so if normal scheduling is adhered to, and that would be assuming any fix could be incorporated in time. However, if the problem lies within PS I guess an earlier fix may be possible as I believe the CC model allows for updates to be shipped more frequently than in the past.
    But all that is mere speculation on my part....and at the moment I've seen no official word from Adobe that the problem has been acknowledged.
    Sorry, would like to be able to offer more positive news.....

  • Image Bands/Corruption in CS5 When Editing out of Aperture

    Not sure whether this issue is related to Aperture or just Photoshop, but I'm seeing some strange behavior in Photoshop when I edit an image out of my Aperture library.  Here are the steps I take to see the problem:
    1. In Aperture (3.1.1) I right-click an image and choose Edit with Photoshop CS5.  This creates a new version in PSD format for editing, since I maintain my images in an Aperture library.
    2. The image opens in Photoshop but the image is distorted.  I've attached an example:
    Note that this issue goes away when I change the zoom factor from 33% to 100%.
    I'm running:
    Photoshop CS5 12.0.2
    Aperture 3.1.1
    OS X 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard)
    15" Unibody MacBook Pro Intel 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo
    I've tried both video cards (High & Low performance setting in Energy Settings): NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT
    Any help?

    I can just recommend general trouble-shooting.
    If the issue should be hardware-related (bad RAM for example), then it might be difficult …
    Boilerplate-text:
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

  • Image Bands/Corruption in Photoshop CS5 When Editing from Aperture

    I'm having some problems when editing Aperture images in Photoshop. When I choose an image I want to edit, it opens in PS CS5 with bands of corruption in the image. Now, I hate to use the term corruption, because when I zoom the image to 100%, the bands disappear, so the image isn't truly corrupted. You can see what's going on with the images here: http://gallery.me.com/drewje#100004
    I'm using Aperture 3.1.1 with RAW image formats and using an Aperture-managed library, not referenced. I've tried opening in Photoshop with both TIFF and PSD 16-bit formats with identical results. I'm using the high performance energy saver setting, to enable my NVIDIA GeForce 9600m video card in my first gen unibody MacBook Pro. I'm using version 12.0.2 of Photoshop CS5.
    I'm getting no help on the Adobe boards, so was hoping someone over here had some ideas or thoughts on how to fix this. Anyone?

    I'm just getting back to check on this thread now, but this does appear to fix the problem. I hate to call this "solved" because it's clearly a bug that exists, but it's nice that there's a workaround. I was just about to look at moving to Lightroom. I should be able to live with this.

  • Aperture 3 edits are not applied when opening in Photoshop CS5.

    I have Photoshop CS5 selected as external editor.  I apply some edits in Aperture 3 and then open in Photoshop cs5 to do heavier work, but aperture 3 edits are not applied.  I get a new image from Master.  How do I get the edited image to open in Photoshop CS5?  I would rather do the cropping and simpler edits in Aperture, then if needed open the edited file into CS5.  I can open the file, but it is missing all of my edits.  I have basically a raw master file that I have to start with, but don't have the advantage of the raw file.

    I'm right clicking on the photo and selecting -> edit with Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS5.  The photo opens in Adobe, but it doesn't have any of the Aperture edits applied to it.  I would have to start from scratch doing these in photoshop.  I want to be able to do the Raw adjustments in Aperture and then open into Photoshop. 
    To test I applied a crop in Aperture and then opened that file in Photoshop.  The full size image opens in Photoshop. 

  • Duplicate TIFF files when using "Edit in PS CS5"

    Hello there,
    I'm using LR 4.3 and CS5, with ACR 6.7 installed. Whenever I'm using "Edit in PS CS5" comand inside LR, automatically I'm getting a duplicate TIFF file added to my LR catalog. How can I avoid this? Thank you for your time!

    bcondoral wrote:
    So this happens because 4.1 is compatible with ACR6.7 and 4.3 is not?
    There are two basic behaviors regarding Lightroom and Camera Raw versioning:
    If the Lightroom version and the Camera Raw version are equal (meaning LR 4.3 and ACR 7.3) Lightroom passes the image from LR to Photoshop using ACR to render the file. In this case, LR doesn't need to render the file and to the -Edit save when opening into Photoshop. Photoshop does the render and when saved, will pass that file creation back to Lightroom for adding in the catalog.
    However, whenever the LR version and ACR version do NOT match, Lightroom does the rendering (to be sure of proper rendering) and save the file on disk before passing the image to Photoshop. So, if you are using mismatched LR/ACR versions, this second behavior comes into play.
    As ssprengel correctly notes, there was a slight modification to these behaviors when LR 4 first shipped because it shipped before Photoshop CS6 and ACR 7 shipped. LR 4.0 and 4.1 (the quick dot release for camera compatibility reasons) were made to work with ACR 6.7 in Photoshop CS5 with the first behaviors working...
    LR 4.2 and above do not have the ACR 6.7 compatibilities so the behavior of the LR render and file saving requirement kicks in.
    For optimal compatibility both LR and ACR should be kept in lock-step. Since the release of CS6, ACR 6.7 is the last version of ACR for CS5, so you lose some intigration and functionality by not upgrading to Photoshop CS6 and ACR 7.x.

  • LR 4 vs LR 3 Edit In PS CS5 changed?

    In LR 3, when I would EDIT IN Photoshop CS5, the file would just open in PS. In LR 4.0, it saves  "-Edit.psd" files and opens those in Photoshop. It does this for old raw files from old legacy folders, as well as new ones that were shot with a Nikon D4.  Although the raw plug-in should be irrelevant, because this happens before the hand-off to Photoshop, I do have Camera Raw 6.7 in Photoshop, which works fine.
    Can anyone tell me how to NOT write those "-Edit.psd" and go back to the Lightroom 3 behavior? I'm on a Mac.
    Thanks!

    Let me try this again.
    Workflow on my Mac:
    Lightroom 3.4 Camera Raw 6.4
    Click on a raw file. Go Edit in Photoshop CS 5 <CMD><E>
    Photo immediately opens in Photoshop CS5.
    No intermediate file is saved, no obvious cache file is created. If you click on the title line of the open file's name, the path to the open file goes directly to the original raw file.
    Lightroom 4.0 Camera Raw 7.0
    Click on a raw file. Go Edit in Photoshop CS 5 <CMD><E>
    Lightoom progress bar on upper left opens and "Preparing file for editing" starts the thermometer. A file is saved named "DSC_xxx-Edit.psd" is saved in the same folder as original file. Photoshop opens the new PSD file, not the original raw file.
    Send the same raw file from LR4 to PS again, and you get another file named "-Edit-2.psd"
    The preferences for the "External Editing" are the same in both Lightrooms.
    So Lightroom's internal workflow has changed. I prefer not to have that new "DSC_xxx-Edit.psd" file saved.  My workflow wants the file saved after the Photoshop edits, in a different folder, with a different name.
    So can we have the old workflow back?  The one without files saved at every transfer to Photoshop? Is this a Camera Raw plug-in change?

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 Prompt Inconsistent

    I've recently noticed that the prompt window which ask what to edit (Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments, etc.) when going to Photoshop CS5 is only popping up with some images. It use to be it would open every time I went into Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 4. When I get the prompt I have choices. When I don't get the prompt it opens the image with all the Lightroom adjustments, but sometimes that not what I want other than going outside of of Lightroom and into Photoshop directly.
    I'm running Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 on OSX Lion. Also, I recently had to run a fix on a corrupt catalog. For those who are aware of the corrupt catalog issue I had it repaired via Dan Tull.
    Any solution would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Devin

    Since you are using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5, ACR isn't fully compatible with Lightroom.  When editing raw images, Lightroom will warn you unless you choose not to show that warning again.  If you make that choice, then whatever choice you made at that time will be the one that is used.  If you open a JPEG or a TIF image, Lightroom will always ask if you want to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments, etc..  So if you have made the choice not to display the "raw warning" again, then you won't have that warning when opening raw images.  But you will always be given those other choices when opening non-raw images.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Editor Crashes When Editing Raw

    Hi --
    Consistently when I'm editing RAW files (Canon T2) the Elements Editor 12 crashes.  To repro:
    1) I'll select 5-8 photos in the Organizer.
    2) Right click and "Edit with PS Editor"
    3) RAW importer/editor (not sure if that's the official name, but it's the screen when I can make minor edits and white balance)
    4) Select all images and open.
    5) Initially they'll all open in the full PSE Editor, but after editing a few the editor will hang and suddenly wierd things happen:
         a)     the "after" version of the photo is a grey and white checkerboard.  If I go back to the "before" version, it looks fine
         b)     the close file "x" button in the top right is disabled (just get a beep), but if I go under "file" and "close" in the menu, the file will close.
         c)     I can't close the application itself.via the "X" button or "Exit".  I need to logout or manually go into task manager and kill the process.
    I have a fairly new PC with vanilla installation of Windows 8.1.
    Any suggestions?

    Update -- still having this problem but not it seems to happen when editing JPEG as well.  I'm not sure how to repro it as it doesn't happen every time, but sometime between the 2nd and 10th photo that I try to edit the editor crashes right after I save or "save as".  I hear a system bing and then the editor becomes non-responsive.  I can "close' the file via the menu (not via the "x" button in the top right), but no other functionality works.  Can't close the editor other than by shutting down or manually killing via Task Manager.
    Incredibly frustrating.  I'm thinking about uninstalling/reinstalling but am worried about losing all of the data in the catalog (~15k photos).  I'm thinking about just writing the metadata to the files (most have it already) and manually copying the catalog files.
    Anyone else have this problem and/or suggestions on how to address it?
    Thanks much

  • Lost adjustments when exporting & importing brightness shift

    I have just up graded to lightroom 5.5 I am using cloud working on a Mac with Maverick / when I export an image from lightroom with adjustments to a folder on the desk top as a tiff file then go and re-import the file it strips all the adjustments from the image. Also when "edit in" CC a image that has had adjustments applied in LR more adjustments in cc then "saved as" a tiff file in the original folder or any folder back in LR the image becomes very light as if some has adjusted the brightness level I have colour synced both CC & LR .can anyone shed some light on this?

    I'm slowly answering my own questions!
    AH HA!
    Okay ... so first you locate where you want music to be stored, then you drag & drop the iTunes folder into iTunes (making sure to UNCHECK the "Copy Music When Adding to Library" under Preferences).
    THEN you import the playlists! DUH!
    Okay then ... why are some songs STILL not located after importing a playlist? It doesn't tell you which ones ....
    But it looks like a majority of music has showed up, so I ain't complainin', but why is some stuff still considered missing??
