LR 4.3 - Can't Change External Editor from CS6 back to CS5

Using LR 4.3 because of Retina Screen MBP. Downloaded trial copy of CS6 with patch. Every time I use CS6 as an external editor from LR, it crashes, especially when cloning. Want to change back to CS5 as external editor in preferences but it doesn't seem to be an option. Any way to do this?
Thanks
Barry Fisher

As long as CS6 is installed Lightroom will choose it as the primary external editor. You can however have CS5 as a secondary editor.
You do not choose the primary editor it will only be Photoshop, Lightroom will choose the most (senior) one installed CS over Elements and the latest version.

Changing External Editor from Photoshop CS to CS5

I've looked through the preferences pane but for the life of me can't figure out how to get iPhoto to switch its external editor from CS to CS5. Does anyone here have any idea? TIA!

In iPhoto's General Preferences use that menu to select CS again. That will let you navigate to the editor of your choice to select it. It's not very intuitive, is it?
This may be preaching to the choir but FWIW:
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

Can't change external editor. Why?

I use iPhoto 6.0.3. I have Photoshop installed and was using it as the external editor in iPhoto. I've not bought and installed Photoshop Elements 4 and installed it.
If I Control click on a photo in iPhoto, the only option I still have is Photoshop. You would think I would have the two options to select to edit it but, I can't see anyway to change it to Elements or use Elements.
iPhoto won't let me change external editors.
Any help appreciated.

I think you can only specify one external editor. It's selected in the iPhoto 'preferences' pane on the General tab. Revisit that window and pick the 'edit photo' chooser. When you pick the Photoshop entry it will allow you to select a different application (PSE4) as the alternate editor. Then you can go back and select the default way to edit and control-click ought to give you what you want.

How do I change my external editor in Lightroom back to CS5?

I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5. I installed CS6 to experiment, but I don't really want to "work" with it. However, it changed the settings in Lightroom to default to CS6 as my external editor. How can I change this back to CS5?

Hey,
I checked with Kelly Castro on the LR team and he said you should be able to save each of your external apps as presets and then they should both be available. He gave me the steps, too:
1. Lightroom > Preferences > External Editing
2. Under Additional External Editor,clci the “Choose” button next to Application
3. Navigate to Applications folder and select Photoshop CS5
4. Set Editing attributes (File Format, Color Space, Bit Depth, Res)
5. Click on preset menu and select “Save Current Settings as New Preset”
6. Name the new Preset “Photoshop CS5” and click “Create”

Changing external editor

I would like to change my external editor from Photshop elements 10 to Photoshop elements 11. But I can not figure out how to do it. I am using iphot ona I-MAC.
any suggestions
tim

You don't say what version of iPhoto you're currently using.
In iPhoto11, you would do the following:
From the menu bar, click iPhoto -->Preferences --> Advanced tab -->Edit Photos --> In application...
Navigate to Photoshop Elements 11 and select it
Close out your Preferences pane
You're done.

How can I change my Editor default back to Elements 8? (changed when I loaded trial Elements 11.)

How can I change my Editor default back to Elements 8? When I downloaded a trial version of Elements 11, my default changed to version 11. I use Adobe Lightroom, and when I switch over to Elements using "Edit In", it automatically open Elements 11 now.

In Lightroom Library prefs link to the PSE8 editor app, usually found on the Mac in support files. This example is for PSE10.

Tbh, I really wouldn't bother.
I may get shot down here, but I like having storage centralised, backed up etc, so I would use the internal storage for the day to day stuff, and anything more dated, and large, then dump it on an external, with backup.
I've heard some horror stories about larger capacity drives getting over hot, and failing in some machines. Not macs particularly though.

HELP- Need to set up Elements 10 as external editor from LR3, but layers aren't available

Help! I am trying to set up Elements10 to open as external editor from LR3 but I must not be doing something right. When I "edit in" and select elements10 from LR3, it brings the photo up. However, none of the layers options are available. They are all grayed out. I need to be able to access layers. Help!!!! Anyone know what's going on?

You probably exported the photo to photoshop elements 10 as a 16 bits/channel file, so go to Image>Mode in photoshop elements 10
and click on 8 bits/channel so you can use layers.

How can I change a document from booklet to single pages

How can I change a document from booklet to single pages?

Very cumbersome.
How many pages?
Make a copy first.
In Acrobat use the Crop tool to crop half the width. (Pages > Crop Pages.)
For 11x17 to 8.5 x11 crop all even pages 8.5 left, all odd pages 8.5 right.
Do you have InDesign?
Create a new document correct to finished page size.
(Use Import Multi Page script to) Place all pages offset by the proper page amount.
Export new pdf.

Do you still have your Aperture Slideshow project? Then open the slideshow and select the one of the green audio file clips in the film strip that you want to replace. Press the "delete" key and drag another audio file from the Media Browser directly onto the slide, where the sound should start.

Can i change XSLT Processor from BIP XSLT Processor to Xalan???

Hi Oracle friends,
I have a problem.....
...i'm not able to insert into customizable XSL-FO layout file the current-date() function and other similars, ....and, for this reason, i searched a solution and i have understood that the problem may be the XSLT Processor that doesn't agree extended namespaces of current date and time functions.
I read that in order to activate these namespaces with functions it is necessary a Xalan or Saxon XSLT processor.
After i tried to run the same customized XSL-FO file with Stylus Studio and (with a Saxon Processor) it's ok.
How can i change XSLT Processor from Oracle BIP XSLT Processor to Xalan(or Saxon)???
Regards
Emanuel
