LR 2.2 edit in CS4 Failure

I am running LR 2.2 and I have been running PS CS2 with no trouble. I recently upgraded to CS4 Design premium. Now the main external editor in LR2.2 has been set to CS4. So when I right click on an image and select edit in->CS4, I got the "you may need to upgrade to ACR5.2" complaint. To rectify this, I downloaded all the updates and installed them, for all of CS4 Design Premium. Now when I attempt to edit in PS CS4, nothing happens. Well, if CS4 is not running, it launches it, but no PSD file is created, so the image never opens in CS4.
What now?

You should manually run the ACR 5.2 installer. There was a bug in there that made it not actually install if you used the automatic update.

Als consider using the 5.3 release candidate for both:

Quality of .nef LR files Degrading after Edited in CS4 and saved as .tif?

After I edit a .nef picture in LR, I right click and select "edit in CS4". I do my edits in CS4 (usually cloning) and I choose to save the image in CS4, it automatically appears as a .tif in Lightroom with the same rating/color coding that I gave to the original .nef Lightroom file that I decided to edit in CS4.
But, in the .tif in LR, I lose some of the edits to the .nef picture that I did in Lightroom. I am noticing the pictures are lighter and contrast and darks are lighter. I feel like the quality is degraded too and looks weird.
Anyone else experience this and do you have any advice? Thanks so much!

Problem solved I think. The Photoshop update I have blowing off for a couple of weeks seems to have fixed it. There was an update in the bundle I downloaded for camera raw 5.7(?) and I'm guessing that is what the problem was... Fingers crossed this never happens again. Thanks!!!

Photo Edit in CS4 not working

Hello,
THE SETUP
I have LR 3.3 and PS CS 4 Version 11.0.2 on a Mac running OS X.6.7.
My "About Lightroom" screen reports the presence of Camera Raw 6.3.
In my LR preferences under "External Editing" tab, I have the option to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4" as PSD / sRGB / 16 bit / rez 300. There is no "Additional External Editor" present.
I have installed in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats the Camera Raw Plug-in version 5.7. When I choose Photoshop>About Plugin>Camera Raw I see that CR version 5.7.0.213 is present.
THE PROBLEM
When I select photo(s) [CR2 file(s)] in LR3 and choose Photo>Edit in> none of the external edit-in-Photoshop options work. First, I get a message saying "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.3 for full compatibility."
I resent this suggestion, since that version of Camera Raw only works with CS5.
When I click "Open Anyway," PS opens and loads, but that's it. None of the images from LR appear.
I get the same (non)-results with all of the options (edit in CS4, HDR, panorama, smart object, etc.) under "Photo>Edit In." Photoshop launches, but no image appears.
The only way I can get a photo to open in PS from within LR is to choose Photo>Edit in>Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4, and then when the warning dialog comes up about the Camera Raw plug-in version, click "Render in Lightroom." When I do that, LR renders the image and it opens in CS4. But that doesn't help me do what I really want to do, which is to select bracketed exposures in LR, merge them to HDR in CS4, and save them back to LR.
I have searched for help on this and come up dry. I did find this http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?9974-Open-as-layers-in-Photoshop-command-not -working, but I reinstalled the CR 5.7 plug-in as described and saw no change.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lr 3.3 and CS4 are not fully compatible so your experience is the result of that.
You will have to bite the bullet and upgrade to CS5 if you dont want to "Render in LR".
I've worked for quite a while with LR 3 and CS3 and experienced similar problems - the only way out is that you select "Render in LR".
It's not such a big deal. When you select "Render in LR", Lr creates the psd that then opens in CS4.
With CS5 it works this way: The RAW file opens in CS5 but when you save in CS5 a psd is generated.

Faces issue when selecting 'edit with CS4' (or any other external editor)

Ok, so I have a work flow where I effectively use Nik Plugins. I have the complete set so that i can use them in Aperture and CS4. I correct exposure and white balance and crop in Aperture but then have automators set up in CS4 to apply Nik plugin effects via a batch change process ie no manual adjustments needed, start the batch and come back 20 mins later. Anyway thats somewhat irrelevant....
Once stage one is done in Aperture I select faces and see that all looks fine. Suggestions appear over faces etc as you'd expect. BUT if I then select edit with CS4 (via right click) on that image it creates a duplicate image (as its non-destructive) and opens it in CS4. Fine. But if you go in to Aperture the faces on this duplicate image are now all messed up. They are not at all over peoples faces but seemingly in random places. Right click and selecting detect faces does nothing. So in summary if I edit anything with CS4 and hit save so that the changes appear in Aperture then hit faces to tag people I have to effectively start from scratch and delete all the faces (not over peoples faces) and add new faces.
The best way to illustrate this is with screenshots. See this link for 2 screenshots of the issue. http://adamlewis.zenfolio.com/screenshot
Can someone else confirm they have this issue at all first off to see if it is a specific issue to myself or a generic Aperture issue?
After that I guess we can proceed with troubleshooting and solutions.
PS I have repaired my library and rebuilt it and have upgraded Aperture to the latest 3.2.2 (released today / yesterday but note the issue was found under 3.2.1 so its not a 3.2.2 specific issue).

Maybe I should have made it clearer in my original post. The 1st paragraph was just for colour. The fact of using Nik has nothing to do with the issue. The below quote is the issue:
"Suggestions appear over faces etc as you'd expect. BUT if I then select edit with CS4 (via right click) on that image it creates a duplicate image (as its non-destructive) and opens it in CS4. Fine. But if you go in to Aperture the faces on this duplicate image are now all messed up. They are not at all over peoples faces but seemingly in random places."
Thus the issue is generated by merely selecting Edit with CS4. ie no editing done in CS4 and not even saved in CS4. Just selecting edit with CS4 in Aperture creates the duplicate image in Aperture (and sends it to CS4 but lets assume we do nothing with it there at all) but creates a duplicate with face tags in the wrong places.
After further investigation I changed my external editing software option in preferences to Pixelmator and the same issue occurs.
So to replicate the issue in my place there are 2 simple steps that I need to make (and would like tested by someone else):
1. Tag some peoples faces in an Aperture image
2. Select edit with (any external editor)
Then go back in to Aperture (immediately) and select faces on the duplicate image created and see if the faces are in the correct position.
Note I have my external editor set to TIFF 8 Bit 300dpi using Adobe RGB colour space.
Thanks for your time.

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

Edit in Cs4 -or-Edit in PS.exe(2nd editor)

Is it only when the lens Correction develop module section has been used that using CS4 as the second external editor has to be used?
If that section has not been used and I automatically click on Edit in Cs4 (no pop up choice box) the appearance in CS4 looks to me as though it has retained the global adjustments and any brush adjustments. Is this wishful thinking?
I have to retrain my brain paths to use the second external editor Photoshop.exe (64bit) editor and it doesn't always happen.
Rose

Other than the lens corrections, everything else is *almost* identical using CS4/5.7. Unless you're pixel peeping, you probably won't notice any difference. I think it was just sharpening halos that were tweaked, from memory.

LR will not allow edit in cs4

I recently moved to a new computer with W-7. I installed CS4 and Lr 2.6 fresh on the computer. When I select edit in cs4 from LR I get a message that says cs4 can not be opened. I can open cs4 directly and edit pics but can not save them to LR. I also tried to download LR2.7 and it came in as a separate program called LR2.7-64bit. If I try to open this program I get the same message as above. I still get reminders from LR2.6 to download 2.7 update. To further complicate the issue, I can not open cs4 64 bit at all, only cs4 32 bit. Any body have any ideas. Adobe has been working on this for 2 weeks and can not solve the problem

Charlie, you have been most helpful. I am getting close to a full solution. To answer your last question, no i have no plug-ins installed at this point. I did change the properties settings to allow full control to adminstrators, this was not on for some reason. Now when I use LR 2.6 or 2.7 it will open cs4 64 bit as the default from the edit in... menu. However before the cs4 will open I get a permission request from user account control to allow the program to make changes, when i click yes cs4 opens and works. i have checked all the user account settings and they seem in order and no other program does this. Is there another setting in cs4 that I should look at?
One other interesting fact. I checked to see if the security certificate on cs4 was up to date and it is not. This may be the reason for the permission request. So I went to update cs4 from the help menu and I can not access the adobe site from either 32 or 64 bit cs4, I can from both LR versions.

Says can only edit in CS4? Can anyone assist with a solution

Hello,

Editing with CS4 troubles

I have a photo that I'm trying to edit with Photoshop CS4. I have been having trouble saving the file when finished. My problem: Saved photos would not appear in Elements after closing and saving in CS4. Sometimes the thumbnail would appear, but the actual photo would be "missing". The edited photo would not even be in Windows explorer. I searched the forums and found others with this and similar issues. My latest attempt was to flatten the image before saving, which saved as jpeg rather than psd. Now the photo remains locked in Elements with the "Edit in progress" I have closed CS4. I tried reopening the file in CS4, but the Edit with CS4 is now greyed out.
I have been struggling with this for 2 days. Why is this so difficult? What am I doing wrong?
I have Vista 64. I am using Elements 7 and Photoshop CS4 64 bit
Jason

I have also tried running both programs "as administrator" - this made no change. For some reason the file is not saving correctly. The file goes "missing" everytime.

Hardware Upgrade Advice for HD editing and CS4

Dear friends,
I realize that there are many posts on hardware requirements, recommendations, etc... Perhaps this is my problem, there is too much info.
Here is my scenario and I would love some expert advice.
What I Have:
I have been editing my home movies since Premiere 6.5 and have been using CS3 for the past couple of years.
My current PC is an HP 9100t which has a ...
Quad Core 6600 2.4GHz processor
3GB RAM (max RAM is 8GB according to the stats for the motherboard)
500 GB System Drive
I recently added a 1.5 TB SATA Seagate Barracuda drive
Also have external 1TB WD connected via USB
Windows Vista Home Premium (32-Bit) OS
What I Just Got:
Recently purchased a Sony HDR-XR 500v and just love the HD picture quality. But now I want to edit the AVCHD files and thus upgrade to CS4
What I'd like to Know:
I'm tired of buying a new PC every couple of years, this machine is 16 months old and runs just fine.
Do you think I can upgrade the processor, add RAM and move to Windows 7 64-bit and happily edit my HD movies?
Or, do I need to once again try and convince my wife to let me buy a new PC
My Upgrade thoughts: I could Buy these items...
Intel Quad Core 9600 processor 2.8Ghz (the HP motherboard supports the Intel Yorkfield processors)
Max out the RAM at 8GB
Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (I actually pre-ordered this for $49 a few weeks ago)
and of course upgrade to Premiere CS4
DO you think a few hundred dollars spent on upgrades will extend my editing life for another year or two?
Thanks so much!
Paul

but I was surprised to see you comment that it's pointless to upconvert video before working on it.
It can easily be you misunderstood my intention. It is somewhat like people often thinking that converting from a compressed format to a lossless format will restore the original quality. That is nonsense, because what has been thrown away during compression, can never be regained by uncompressing. That is an expectation similar to orange juice being uncompressed will restore the original oranges.
My intention with my remark was to emphasize that going from 4:2:0 to 4:2:2 will not restore original data or improve the image, only increase storage requirements.
But clearly that is not what you meant. You are talking about chroma keying and similar being best done on 4:2:2 or even better on 4:4:4 material. You are completely correct, but keep in mind, and that is what I tried to convey, is that starting out from 4:2:0 and upconverting to 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 will not restore original quality, it will still be (slightly less than) the 4:2:0 quality, because of the rounding errors in the algorithms. You will increase storage space significantly by this upconverting, but if you want to do any chroma keying, the quality of the keys will be significantly better than when performed on 4:2:0 material and the loss when again converting to 4:2:0 for final delivery will be significantly less than had you used chroma keys on 4:2:0 material.
I hope this explains it somewhat.

How can I edit a CS4 doc in CS3?

A client's sent me an InDesign CS4 doc to edit and then return back to them. I have CS3 and can't open it because it needs me to install loads of plugins or upgrade to CS4. CS4 is no longer available. If I buy CS5, and edit it using CS5, the client using CS4 won't be able to open it. Any solutions?

Either have them exprt the file to .inx for you (not ideal) or download the CS4 trial and use it for 30 days and make sure you finish in that time. You can get that here: Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
Make sure you follow the directions on that page TO THE LETTER or it won't work.

Can't use CS4 to edit --Photoshop CS4 crashes after installing Aperture 3.1

Hello: Whenever I try to launch Photoshop CS4 as my external editor, it will crash while trying to open the image. I never had this problem before installing the Aperture 3.1. update. CS5 seems to be okay though.
Whenever I select an image in Aperture and select edit with Photoshop CS4, it will launch CS4 and then hang---never opening the image.
(I am using Photoshop CS4 for most of my work as many of my plug-ins have not been updated yet)

...my work as many of my plug-ins have not been updated yet...
Since I do not know what kind of plug-ins you are working with, if you tell us what are you working with the specific plug-ins. So I cannot tell you, but I do know that some other plug-ins software developers such as Nik Software and onOne Software recently updated their plug-ins from 32-bit to 64-bit plugins. However, I do not know what you are working with.
Also, when you are running Ps CS5, are you aware that you can switch back and forth between 32-bit and 64-bit workflow in Info panel. If you need to run 32-bit plugins in Ps CS5, you can always set it to 32-bit. When you are done working with that, you can set it back to 64-bit.

Can't "Edit in CS4" New LR 2.3 and PS CS4 in Mac OS Leopard

I have just moved my LR2.3 and CS4 onto a MacPRo and have a problem I can't find a solution for when I have searched the Knowledge Base.
When I have an open image in LR, and Photo> Edit In > Edit In Photoshop CS4 (or "open as a smart object in CS4"), then work on the image in CS4 and then try and "save" or "save as" in Photoshop CS4, I get this error message.
"Could not save (document name) because write access was not granted".
Previously on my PC, this operation worked seamlessly??
I am new to Mac and have only had the computer a few days. Does anyone have any answers on how I can access and have read write privileges between CS4 and Lightroom? I can't imagine why two adobe products aren't able to read/write to each other, but that seems to be what has happened.
I'm using OS X Leopard on a MacPro.
Thanks

I have a solution to the problem.
When you are using a PC the files are stored on your HD in FAT32 file format..
When you are using a MAC the files are stored on your HD in a different format. That means you can read your files on the Mac, but you can't write.
On my HD Seagate recommend using the OS Extended format when their HD is used on a Mac.
The solution is to reformat your external HD and use the Applications-> Utility -> Disk Utility program on the Mac to reformat the external HD.
Before you do this you have to save your data on the external HD somewhere in the Mac or another HD that is connected to the Mac.
Once this is done start the reformating of the HD by following this sequence Applications-> Utility -> Disk Utility. A page opens up that has you select the drive that you want to reformat, and once you have done that, in the "Erase" window, select OS Extended (Journalized) or a format your HD manufacturer recommends.
There is a second window called "Name" which allows you to name the drive that you are reformatting. Once you have made these selections then you proceed with the reformatting, and once that is done, you can move your files onto the external HD that you had previously relocated to another HD.
The files on the reformatted HD are now Read/Write, and the problem of not having write permissions is fixed.
So this isn't a problem with the Adobe products, but one where you have to reformat HDs when you are switching platforms from PC to Mac or the reverse.

Edits in CS4 not showing in Lightroom 3.3

Since upgrading to Lightroom 3.3, edits using the tools in Photoshop CS4 do not appear after saving in Lightroom. There is a note that says the version of Camera Raw may no longer be compatible with LR 3.3 when opening for editing. Do I need to reinstall and earlier version of LR? jc

Thank you for your swift reply. I have
rechecked my problem and need to be a li
ttle more specific. When I use save from CS4
the file it is saving is a psd and not a tiff as it saved when
rendering in LR3. Therefore, the actual edits are not being saved to the saved tiff file which appears in LS3. I am having to go into the original folder and find the psd version of the saved file and import it. I guess what I am saying is that using the save command no longer saves to LS3. What am I doing wrong? jc
