LR Edit In PS and ACR

Hi,
When I select Edit In Photoshop on RAW files in Lightroom, PS is rendering my files using ACR (and it displays as NEF), despite my settings being for TIFF. I use CC, everything is up to date according to my app.
Having read through other older posts in the forum, it seems like this should only happen if the LR version is newer than the PS version. Makes sense. Since I'm using the creative cloud, well, I would naively expect them to be synced .
I don't mind if it says NEF instead of tif until I save it. I have to save it anyway. The trouble is that since I am editing from RAW in LR already it seems though that there is no reason for PS to re-interpret the data, and that this can/will cause differences at some point. It also seems like a waste of processor power (which is a concern for me: right now I am preparing 50 files for print using PS,  so if double the files are open I need double the time and double the memory).
PS says that it has ACR version 8.7.1.311. My LR version is 5.7.1 which has ACR 8.7.1, but it doesn't show the last digits on the info splash. I'm sure there's a way to check this exactly.
Note: what happens as described above is using having "Stack with Original" in the External Editing Preferences pane unchecked. If I check - so it should "stack" - what happens is that PS first opens the file as an NEF, reinterpreting it, then it opens it as a tif, presumably rendered by LR (it then shows up immediately in the catalog). I don't know what this button really does, but it appears to trigger the LR-based rendering (which is indeed what I want, since my workflow is built around LR). However PS does open the NEF still, leaving me with two open copies in PS.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Adam

Right when you first load an image in PS through LR using Edit In it loads the RAW file with its original file extension. But the second you SAVE that file it saves it with the extension, and type, of what you have chosen in the External Editor section of the LR preferences. In your case with the TIFF extension.
This is completely normal. Also when you send a file to PS using Edit In you do not get a Adobe Camera Raw window because LR "IS" Adobe Camera Raw in a different looking package.

  • Problem with "Edit in Photoshop" and Lightroom 2.1 failing to import new file

    I am a new user to Lightroom, so I won't be surprised if the problem is at the dull end of the keyboard...
    I am working with Lightroom 2.1 (still in my 30-day free trial), Photoshop CS3 with ACR 4.6, on Windows XP (fully updated). My image files are mostly .cr2 files (canon raw).
    When I "edit with photoshop" in Lightroom, it fires up Photoshop and brings the file up for edit as expected. Photoshop shows the file name as something like _MG_2326.CR2, as (I presume) expected. When I'm done editing in Photoshop, and I save the file, Lightroom brings up a message "The file could not be imported because it could not be read." and "It may be an incompatible format." on a second line.
    If I synchronize the folder in Lightroom it picks up the save file without issue (though its not automatically stacked with the original).
    I have tried messing around with the different options in the preferences "external editing" tab -- file format, color space and bit depth (I can't imagine resolution would matter). No joy there.
    I have also tried setting photoshop up as the additional external editor and if I do that it works correctly. However, in this case, it makes a copy of the file before opening photoshop which slows things down a little.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen before? Any solutions or work-arounds?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I'm back trying to sort this problem out (got distracted for a couple of days by trying to get my monitor calibrated).
    Rearranging the folder structure didn't help. But I now have a better organized catalog, so that's ok :)
    What I did find is that if I import files into lightroom using the "file/import photos from device", then I can edit them normally afterwards (that is, when I save the file in photoshop cs3, the new file gets picked up correctly by lightroom and gets correctly stacked with the original). This is true even if the new files get added into the same directory structure that I'm having troubles with.
    So it looks like the directory structure is a red herring. It looks like the problem is in the catalog, with the way that lightroom originally imported my files. I created my original catalog by allowing lightroom to read my elements 6 catalog.
    It seems that I have this edit problem with all catalog entries that were imported from elements 6, but I don't have any problem with catalog entries that lightroom brings in directly (either through "import photos from device" or by adding a new folder to the lightroom catalog).
    So right now it looks like there is a problem with the elements catalog conversion.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen? Any suggestions for getting around it?

  • Roundtrip and ACR

    Hello,
    I find the ACR adjustments in Bridge and LR to be much more intuitive than Aperture. But, I don't want to switch to LR since Aperture (to me) wins hands-down as an overall better application.
    Until I really get a good handle on working with Aperture adjustments, I was thinking of a different workflow option for images that I need to externally edit in PS3. Basically, I was hoping to be able to roundtrip from Aperture to PS3, then open ACR to do the preliminary adjustments before the PS3 edits. It looks to me that this isn't possible - or maybe I'm just overlooking something.
    Does anyone know if this is possible - or perhaps have another approach?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    I've designated Bridge as my external image editor and specified TIFF for the output format. When Bridge opens as the external editor, I open the TIFF version in ACR, edit, then open in CS3. After tweaking in CS3 with full use of my third-party plugins I save as TIFF, overwriting the original Aperture TIFF version. Back in Aperture, Viewer shows the changes made in ACR and CS3.
    PSD files cannot be opened by ACR, so TIFF is the only format for roundtripping to ACR that doesn't have the possibility of compression artifacts.
    Note that Aperture does the RAW conversion and ACR is used as an image processor for TIFF files, then CS3 is used for refinements to the ACR adjustments. ACR's RAW conversion is bypassed. Also note that the TIFF files are large, so there are no savings in storage space from all-Aperture processing. All versions are managed through Aperture, though.
    One inconvenience: even though I select multiple images to open with Bridge as external editor, only one file appears in Bridge so I can't do batch processing. If anyone figures out a workaround, please let us know!

    I'm considering buying CC LR/PS package. My camera is Sony a7 - raw ARW. I've been editing using PSE10 and ver 8.7 of the external Adobe DNG converter. Will I be able to open the DNG files in LR with the edits preserved? Will I be able to open the PSD files in LR with the edits preserved? Any import/catalog etc issues between PSE10 and LR?

    Lightroom has no problem reading DNG files. Whether the edits you have done to the DNGs you have originally edited in Photoshop Elements 10 I'm not sure. ACR edits made to DNGs are saved in the DNG file itself, as apposed to a XMP sidecar file, so LR should see those edits. At the worst you will get an exclamation mark in the upper right hand corner of the imported DNGs and clicking on that exclamation mark you will get a dialog box asking you to either import settings from disk or overwrite settings. you would select import settings from disk.

  • Opening Nikon D600 NEF files using PhotoShop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213

    Hello,
    I've just bought a Nikon D600.
    I have Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213. 
    With these versions, I'm unable to open the D600 NEF files.  I get the following message:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Yet I can view the NEFs in other software that pre-dates the D600, e.g. FastStone Image Viewer 4.6.
    Does anybody know if I can get a plug-in from Adobe for PS CS4 that allows me to edit D600 NEFs?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Regards,
    Aisling

    Either upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG Converter and covert your NEFs to DNG.

  • LR 4.3 and ACR 7.3 compatability

    I received the familiar alert "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Rawy plug-in version 7.3 for full compatability" and accidentally clicked "don't show again" and "open anyway".  How can I get back to having the choice to "Render using Lightroom" when I export using command-E?

    rickpatrick wrote:
    If I understand correctly, when I click "render using lightroom" in LR 4.3 the result is the same as would be the case if I had CS6 and ACR 7.3.  Am I right?
    Yes but...
    There are two behaviors and it depends on whether or not ACR and LR are in-sync...
    If out of sync, Lightroom will render the file using the LR 4.x engine but it needs to save the file with a -Edit BEFORE sending it to Photoshop.
    If ACR & LR are in-sync, LR sends the image to ACR and ACR renders it and the file will only be saved when you save it from Photoshop (to where you save it).
    In the out of sync situation, the -Edit file is manditory, in the synced case, the file is only saved when you save it from Photoshop.
    However, in both cases, the rendered image will be the same. The only difference is the file handling.

  • Camera Profiles Missing from Lightroom and ACR since upgrade to Lightroom CC

    I upgraded to the latest version of Lightroom yesterday. I have discovered since then that the only profile available in the Camera Calibration profiles pop-up menu is Adobe Standard. This applies to Lightroom CC, Lightroom 5 and ACR. Furthermore the folder where the profles were stored is missing. This is a problem as I have lost a custom profile for editing the white balance in infrared photographs. What is the likelycause of this situation and how can it be remedied?

    Hi Beat,
    thank you very much for your reply! :-)
    That is what I find so  puzzling - there are hundreds of profiles in that folder under a "1.0" subfolder...
    And yes, I'm sure it's RAW I'm looking at (and the error message appears before I see Lightroom, so it's not about RAW/JPG).
    While fiddling some more I found out, that if I start Lightroom as an Administrator, everything is back to normal, but I never had to do this before and I don't see why this should be the case. What would cause such a behaviour to appear suddenly?
    Rant:
    The whole UAC idea - as Microsoft implemented it - is a major pain, but so far I was willing to bear the burden for the supposed raised security, but more and more I tend to think about switching it off as I did under Windows Vista. If it interferes with my ability to get anything useful done it's not worth it (and I have other software that doesn't like it, not just - suddenly - Lightroom).
    Thanks for any hints what this problem could be about!
    Cheers,
    Thomas Helzle

  • Is it legal to sell photos edited in trial and beta verisons of Photoshop?

    I recently downloaded the new CS6 beta version of photoshop and since I am interested in stock photography I was wondering if it's legal and not againts Adobe's rules to sell photos edited in trial and beta versions of Photoshop? I mean, since you haven't bought them and just trying them out.
    I really haven't found info about it, yet. Adobe terms and policy are little overwhelming
    Thanks.
    p.s. I hope I asked the question on the right place

    The last time that I read the EULA, the only restriction on commercial or production work was on beta/pre-release software. So you could use the CS5 trial but not the CS6 beta.
    See section 4.a . here:

  • Unable to uninstall Starter Editions 3.0 and 3.01

    I have previously had Starter Edition 3.0 installed on my Windows XP O.S. but it was deleted in error. Use of the "Search" facility shows that there are NO Photoshop folders or files now installed in my system. I downloaded Starter Edition 3.2. with a view to starting over again.When this program attempted to install, it soon displayed a message that it had encountered previous Starter Edition programs and would remove them. It could not do so. The "Add or Remove Programs" facility shows that Starter Editions 3.0. and 3,01 are still installed, which is not possible. When an attempt is made to either repair or remove 3.0, a message is diplayed, stating "Internal Error 2753 ADS 2 EXE", and then, when "ok" is clicked, "Fatal Error during installation". When an attempt is made to remove 3.01 it very soon shows a message "Installation interrupted,Starter Edition 3.0 is either not installed or is in need of repair" Any suggestions as to how to remove either programs from the O.S. or the whereabouts on the Adobe websites that I might find a solution would be much appreciated. I have tried downloading Starter Edition 3.0 afresh and reinstalling but it will not install and the same messages continue to be displayed. Regards - Maurice.

    Hello to those who have viewed this thread. I have now resolved my problems by downloading,installing and using a free software from a search engine. The software, Revo Uninstaller 1.5, the latest version available to me, has fulfilled it's work on each occasion and always at the first attempt. It can even clear up after itself. I hope that this info. will be of help to some of yourselves. I now regard this thread as closed and would like to thank those that have helped. Regards - Maurice Nutting.

  • LR 4.2RC and ACR 7.2 RC won't read SONY RX 100 ARW files

    I was at a wedding yesterday and had two cameras with me - a Nikon D800 and my little SONY RX 100.  I was using an Eye-Fi Pro card for the Sony.  I'm uninterested in the Wi-Fi capabilities when I'm away from home, but like the camera to upload pictures when I'm close to my big processing machine.  Long story short.  This was the first time I've used the LR 4.2RC and ACR 7.2RC with the Sony RX 100.  I plugged the card into both the regular Eye-Fi USB reader, and into my Hoodman USB 3.0 reader.  Of course, LR doesn't like the Eye-Fi reader, but it loves the Hoodman.  Finally, it recognized the Hoodman and the Eye-Fi card.  I have previews set to minimal and I was attempting to import all the raw (ARW) files into Lightroom.  When the initial previews come up as I start the import process, it shows about 1/3 of the previews and then tells me it can't read the rest, including MP4 files.  When I actually begin the import, it simply times out and reports that it was unable to import ANY of the ARW files, nor the MP4 files.  I have no trouble reading 63 files into Raw Photo Processor so I know there is nothing wrong with any of the files.  I can only conclude that there is something wrong with LR 4.2 and/or ACR 7.2.
    Anyone else reporting this problem?  I'm puzzled because this is the ONLY time I have ever had trouble importing files from supported cameras.
    Thanks for feedback.

    Well.  After some experimentation, I discovered what the problem seems to be.  For reasons completely opaque to me, Lightroom expects not only that the Eye-Fi card will be read from its own reader, but it also expects that the Eye-Fi helper application be installed and running.  Of course, this means that I end up with duplicate copies of every file - once to the Eye Fi directory, and again to the appropriate Lightroom Folder on a completely different set of drives.   I guess the conclusion I can draw from this is that without the helper application, the Eye Fi card is dumb and the images only partly visibible.  The Eye-Fi helper can import the .ARW files, but it doesn't display them because Apple hasn't updated its camera list to include the RX100.  Until they do, I think I'll just use regular cards and consign the Eye-Fi card to the hall of unhelpful cards.  Yikes, the darned thing is as expensive as the Lightroom upgrade.
    Sigh.

  • Need help with Olympus E-M1 and ACR 8.3 Results

    Hi:
    1.  I'm fairly familiar with photoshop and ACR, but definitely not an expert.   I'm also very familiar with the Olympus RAW files since the E-5 (I've owned the E-5, E-M5 and several Pens);  I now recently purchased the E-M1 and I've been having problems getting decent images out of the RAW files (compared to the prior Olympus RAW files).
    2.  Problem:  it just "feels" that the overall tone curve is more abrupt, especially in the highlights.    With the prior Olympus RAW files, the transition from moving the exposure slider to the right and then getting blown out highlights was more gradual;   there just seems to be an overt decrease in "headroom" when dealing with highlights in the E-M1 RAW files.   I know this makes no sense in that the dynamic range is supposed to be greater with this camera compared to the prior ones.  
    3.  Problem:  In relation to the above issue, it also seems that the highlight slider is not as specific as it used to be in that when I move it to the left, more of the histogram seems to be affected as opposed to the bright / highlight region.   It now seems to  basically counteract any adjustments made to the exposure.   Again, this may be my imagination but it just feels this way.
    4.  Problem: In relation to the above issue, the other strange observation I've had is that although the histogram of the image shows no clipping, the image may have very bright areas with almost imperceptible detail;   when I click on it and view that data point within curves, it shows it to be well below 255.    In my lame flower shot example (it's not a good example but I couldn't find anything else right now), I would have guessed that in the brighest petal area, that it would be something like 250, but it's only 220.   But when I zoom in, there's really no texure or detail or data.  
    5.  The above issue in re: highlight rendering and control may or may not be related but it's the first time, I've been having issues and I've never had such problems with either ACR or prior Olympus cameras and thus I'm wondering if this is some issue with how ACR interprets the E-M1 file.  I did do some comparison with Capture One 7 and that does a definitely better job of highlight recovery in that it seems to more preferentially target just the highlights and definitely does a better job with color rendition.   I have Olympus Viewer 3, but it's so slow and lame, that I haven't done much testing with it.   Any thoughts and advice much much appreciated.

    Also, you might want to upload your raw file, a full-size JPG of what you posted, above, and an example from C1 to www.dropbox.com and post a public link, here, for others to experiment with.
