Lost adjustment settings when editing in Photoshop

I'm experiencing that LR4 skips the usual question if I want to open a copy with or whitout development settings when I open a file into Photoshop. Thus, I always end up with an unedited RAW file. I cannot find any setting in the preferences to adress this issue, should I simply re-install LR4 or is the function disabled for some reason in the Beta?

Until you get Camera Raw 7 in Photoshop CS6 (which ain't shipping yet) you'll have to open the image in Photoshop using the option "Render using Lightroom". You should be seeing that dialog when you open in Photoshop, do you?

Auto Label and or Automoving LR files to Subfolder when Editing in Photoshop

LR is great, but after using it for a while i miss a few things very much indeed and other colleagues back me up on this.
It would be great to give the user an option to add a label to a photo when editing in Photoshop or other external application
And also give the user an option to make a standard subfolder for the edited file.
"Example"
I import all raw files into a dated folder ex. 2007-09-20.
Then i rate the files i like and filter them.
Then i do the raw editing and then i finally open them into photoshop CS3.
Here it would be great that the edited file automatically gets a yellow label and/or is put into a subfolder of 2007-09-20. This subfolder i typically would name FINAL.
I know this would be troublesome due to the Stacking feature in LR, which is nice but i don't use it. So my requested features should only be enabled if i choose not to Stack my files.

That's how it goes.

When "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom

when "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom
Please help me

Hi mariad91843143,
To enable the non-destructive workflow and the powerful features of Photoshop CC, the RAW image will need to be opened into Photoshop whilst, in the meantime, keeping our Lightroom changes so that we can work on them later. Instead of using the ‘Edit in Adobe Photoshop’ option in Lightroom – CMD +E (Mac) or CTRL +E (PC) – the option ‘Open as Smart Object in Photoshop’ will be used.
This is a very useful tutorial to understand how to manage the workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom Canon Professional Network - Lightroom & Photoshop CC workflow (Pt. 1): Smart Objects ....

Lightroom does not create a background layer when editing in Photoshop - on Mac.

Thought this was a Photoshop problem. When I select a portion of an image in Photoshop (which has come from Lightroom) and press Delete, it no longer brings up the Fill dialog; it just deletes the pixels.
After some discussion on the Photoshop forum, I see that now, when I tell Lightroom "Edit in Photoshop", it creates a file which does not have a Background layer, and this causes the Delete key to act differently. This was not the case several weeks ago, but has just started to happen. Is there any adjustment I can make to the "Edit In" settings to get a Background layer in Photoshop?
JK

You must have changed a setting in Photoshop because Lr has no influence on how Photoshop treats the background layer.
There is nothing you can do in Lr to change this behavior of Photoshop.
What happens in Photoshop is this: For some reason the image is opened with transparent background.Such an image does not have a background layer and the layer at the bottom does not have the constraints of a regular background layer.
I am not aware of any command or script in Photoshop that would automatically do this on opening a file.
Try this: Reset your Workspace (>Window >Workspace). If that doesn't help I'd suggest to ask on the Photoshop forum why your Photoshop opens an image with transparent background.
You could also try to re-install Photoshop, supposedly this would reset any hidden settings that are causing this.

Why does Lightroom color not match when editing in Photoshop CS3

I just started Using Lightroom 4, the only version of lightroom that I have used. Short version, saves me heaps of time. But I went to edit more in photoshop and noticed that the color is dramatically different. I have Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1)and the color space is ProPhoto to match lightroom. If I make edits in lightroom, say removing dust spots, it shows in the photoshop version. It seems that on the shadow side is where it really shows. My workflow would be to import as original RAW in lightroom 4 (canon 1d mark II) and go about editing. Right click to edit in Photoshop CS3, and this is where colors go crazy. Then if I save the file with no edits done in Photoshop and compare side by side in lightroom, they are completely different. What is causing the drastic difference?
These are screenshots where in the left screenshot the original image is the dark image and the lighter is what it looks like when opened in Photoshop. The compare in lightroom on the right screenshot is what it looks like when I saved the file from Photoshop. So how does opening in Photoshop, then hitting save change the image? If i make the edit in lightroom then export the jpeg and open in photoshop, I get the appropriate color, exactly the same as my original lightroom raw.
My external editor settings in lightroom are tiff, prophoto colorspace.
photoshop preferences are to preserve embedded profiles.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, when you "Edit in" Photoshop CS3, it should give a warning dialog that says the version of ACR in Photoshop isn't compability, with the option "Open anyway" (won't work well) or "Render in Lightroom" (which should be fine). Or, if you've created your own "Edit in" preset, you should get the option "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments".
So long as you've chosen "Render in Lightroom" or "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (depending on how you've edit up "Edit in...") then colour should be OK.
Colour options in PS should be something like:
Check all the "Ask when..." options, just to make sure you get warned of mis-matches. And I suggest the RGB policy should be "preserve...".
And the final thing: to be sure of no colour mis-match, you need a calibrated/profiled monitor (with a hardware tool like Spyder, ColorMunki, Eye-One etc). When there isn't a monitor profile containing a colour space (which needs a hardware tool, generally) then different programs can make different assumptions and display the same image differently.

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.

How to not create Lightroom duplicate when editing in Photoshop

When I choose to Edit in Photoshop from within Lightroom 3, the edited copy is added to Lightroom. This might sometimes be useful, but I want to choose whether or not the edited copy is added to lightroom.
How can I make this choice?
David

That's not my experience - maybe I've got some setting wrong somewhere.
I have two categories of images in Lightroom: DNG files originating from digital camera Raw files, and files which are PSD that were scanned from old photos.
Opening the DNG files in Photoshop then selecting "Save As" does not make the duplicate in Lightroom PROVIDED I have "As a copy" checked. But then the copy is not the file that's currently open so I have go find the copy and open it to do any work on it.
Opening PSD files from Lightroom in Photoshop, the duplicate is created immediately the file opens in Photoshop unless I select the "Edit original" option. But even then, if I subsequently use Save As within Photoshop, the copy appears in Lightroom.
My version of Lighrtoom is 3.4.1
My version of Photoshop is CS5.1
I'm on a Mac running Snow Leopard

When edit in photoshop, the edited image is added to the catalog in a duplicate of the same volume..

Ok, this is realy strange...
I edit in photoshop a cr2 file from a canon 20d
Once done with the edit, i clic save in photoshop
The file is saved as a tif but, in the folder view in the library, i now have 2 instances of the same volume...
In the first instance of that volume, the one that should be there, i do not see the new edited tif file (& the file count did not went up by 1)but in the second instance of the same volume, i now have only the new tif file under that directory...
here is what i see...
Local Disk (E:)
Wedding 8718
Peter & Josée 499
Local Disk (E:)
Peter & Josée 1 (this one is the tif after the edit in PS)
If i detete the tif, then right-clic Remove the directory Peter & Josée under the second instance of Local Disk (E:), the second instant of the volume will be gone as well.
It does that every time i edit in photoshop.

I noticed something...
Looking at the metadata of both files, i found a little difference in the folder field information in metadata...
My original cr2 file in the real volume has this in the folder field... E:\Wedding\Peter and Josée... notice it start with a capitale E
The file in the "ghost folder" under the duplicate of the same volume has: e:\Wedding\Peter and Josée... lowercase for the drive letter
When i reinstall the previous version of Camera Raw, i have the message in LR saying i need 4.5 for full compatibility... i clic render using LR, and it works... But this time both files start with a capitale E in the folder field in metadata...

When editing on Photoshop Elements the edited photo returns to the beginning of my catalogue instead of above the original?

In the Save As window, do you have Save in Version Set with Original turned on?

Version Set is not created when editing with Photoshop CS4?

Last week I was working in PSE7 and opening files into PS CS4 for editing. I open the files by clicking the Open with link and choose Photoshop. I edited several dozen photos and when I closed them from PS CS4 Version Sets were created in PSE7 like they should be. At some point that stopped happening. Now when I do as before and open the files into PS CS4, edit them, and then close them the Version Set is not being created in PSE7. I look in the folder containing the files and the file has a new modified date but it still has the same file name instead of being saved with the - edited name as before. Does anyone know why the version sets are no longer being created when editing with PS CS4? I can edit the files with the PSE7 editor and the version sets are created as they should be. Thanks!

Okay so tha there is no misunderstanding here is exactly what I'm doing. From the PSE7 Organizer I select a photo (file name Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg) and click the Fix tab. I then click More Options and select Photoshop. The photo opens in into PS CS4. I make my edits click the x on the tab to close the image and I'm asked "Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop document "Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg" before closing?" I click Yes then click OK to save the image at maximum quality. I go back to the PSE 7 Organizer and there is no version set. I check the folder the original image was in and see the original file Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg with a new modified date and time. I can even choose Save As from PS CS4 and it asks me if I want to overwrite Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg and I select Yes, but I get the exact same results. Thanks!

File size wrong when editing in Photoshop

Sometimes when I right click on an image in Lightroom and choose Edit in Photoshop, the resulting file in Photoshop has a size of 72 dpi and usually like around 3" on the long side. The original file is 13 mp so it isn't because the initial file is small. This happens maybe 20% of the time, and I cannot find a pattern to it.
My workaround is to open that image in Bridge, go through ACR and it is then fine in Photoshop.
I am using the Photoshop CS3 beta, but I don't suspect that is the problem.
Anyone else having this issue? Is it something I am inadvertantly doing? Or if it is a known problem is there a fix?

Hmmm. Wonder why these few images would be any different than the ones before/after them? They are all raw files from my 5D, imported by Lightroom from my cf card. And again, I can process the same files I had problems with in Lightroom through Bridge and go into ACR and they are fine that way. Next time it happens, I will email you the CR2 file...thanks. Hopefully you can see something interesting about it!
Is there some place in Lightroom that I can specify what ppi and/or file size to use when I edit in Photoshop? The files (other than these weird ones) are currently coming in at 240 and I'd prefer 300. Just saves me one little step of changing it, but hey every step helps in a workflow!

Duplicate files when editing in Photoshop??

I was wondering if it was possible to avoid the duplicate files when I edit in Photoshop. For example: If I import three raw files into CS2 to blend, then save the blended file and import it back into Lightroom for further processing, I have to go and delete the other two duplicate PSD's ever time. This seems redundant..any suggestions or is this just how it goes? Thanks, Chip

That's how it goes.

IPhoto 6 Problem when editing using Photoshop Elements 3.0

Please can someone help. If I edit a photo in photoshop elements 3.0 from iPhoto and then click the save button I get an option box that requires the quality and save settings. I've selected the best quality but I then have a choice of saving in base standard, base optimised or progressive. If I choose any of these options, when I go back into iPhoto the skin tones etc. have changed (they have a more reddish look about them)on that picture. Please can someone advise me how to save without it altering the colour of my photos. Editing in iPhoto doesn't effect the colour at all.

Helloson:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not that setting (I use Base Standard) but the fact that PE3 may be adding a color profile to the file that is different to what was there originally. Go to the Photoshop Elements menu and select Color Settings... option. There you can set it to have "No color management". (I'm running PE2 so the menu selections may be different than PE3). Then see if that will make a difference.
Do you Twango?

Fonts change size and content when edited in photoshop cs6

When I try editing the type in the document created in Photoshop CS6, some of the fonts I click on change their size, formatting as well as content of what it says.
It also started happening when I try changing canvas size. All of the fonts that got corrupted somehow, changing their formatting and content as I'm changing the canvas size.
The document has been created from scratch..
thanks for your help ahead of time!

I've reset my brush, so "replace current brushes with the default brushes" was taken.

EXIF data dropped when editing in Photoshop Elements 6.0 from iPhoto 8.0?

I've seen various posts about EXIF data issues, mostly about geo info. My question is:
Does iPhoto not include the EXIF data when you have it set to edit your photos in Photoshop Elements 6.0? The reason I ask is because I can easily see the EXIF data in iPhoto but when I choose to view the file info in PSE, it's not there - or at least in the detail that it was in iPhoto (i.e. camera make/model, aperture, ISO setting, shutter speed, etc.).
Anyone else notice this? What's going on here? Is this an issue with iPhoto 8.0?
Thanks for any insight and input.
Best regards,
Jason

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
I believe is you use PSE this way and then export out of iPhoto as Terence suggested you'll get the metadata.
