LR3 - Cannot edit in Photoshop CS4 ("Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments")

Having just purchased LR3, it seems that when I select "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments", that the LR adjustments aren't being carried across into CS4. I am only given the original file in PS.
Is this a known bug?

So what do you think might be the problem, Dorin?
I don't know. I haven't seen a bug (assuming it is indeed a bug, and not an operator error) like this is mentioned here in the forums.
This issue is going to affect my business in a major way.
If this is so critical to your business, you can use a workaround meanwhile.
Use the regular export command with the following options:
File type: PSD/TIFF; other relevant filetype options.
Location: same as original photo.
Add to this catalog: checked. Stack with original: as needed.
Post-processing: open in Photoshop.
Save this as an Export presets and invoke it from the File->Export with Preset from the menu.
The end result is the same as Edit in Photoshop.

  • Photoshop CS5/Lightroom 3 integration issue - "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" does not work

    When clicking "Edit Copy with Lightoomroom Adjustments" from Lightroom, I get an error in Lightroom 3 complaining that the Camera Raw plug-in is not up to date; full message below.
    "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.1 for full compatibility.
    Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3. If raw file support for your camera was introduced after Camera Raw 4.6, the Photoshop integration features in Lightroom require Photoshop CS4 and the latest Camera Raw version 5 plug-in.
    The version of Camera Raw plug-in currently installed is 0.0."
    After I click "Open Anyways", Photoshop CS5 is initiated but it seems to have lost context of why it is opened and asks me what file I want to open (i.e. the Open As dialog).
    "Edit Copy" and "Edit Original" from Lightroom 3 works as expected and opens images fine in Photoshop, CS5 however.
    My installation is on Windows 7. I currently also have Lightroom 1.4 and Photoshop CS3 installed. Everything worked fine with the old configuration. I also tried the same workflow in Lightroom 1.4 again just now, which is now linked to CS5 instead of CS3. The "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" also work just fine.
    Things that I have tried but do not worked:
    I did an Update via the Help -> Update menu, and also manually downloaded the Camera Raw 6.1 plug-in.
    Blew away the Photoshop preferences file
    Made sure that Lightroom 3 points to Photoshop for editor
    I'm thinking that I'll try uninstall CS3 next. Anyone else encountered this issue?

    [CS5.1 (12.1) ACR 6.5RC / LR 3.5RC; MacbookPro 4gb Leopard 10.5.8 ] As a Lightroom instructor, up until now this has been a vexxing problem to explain to my students. Even if ACR in Photoshop is up to date (I just downloaded 6.5RC and installed the PS Plugin), I still get the error when attempting to edit from Lightroom 3.5RC. I deleted the PS prefs file to no avail. I was not willing to re-install Photoshop as a solution (per some blog's suggestion), although that might be the ultimate answer. But what an ordeal if so!
    For a solution, I went back to a resolution I devised when I had a CS3 compatibility problem with LR3. I went into the Preferences of Lightroom and manually chose the Photoshop app as the "custom" image editor. I went back to edit the file in PS from Lightroom and the ACR error disappeared. Try it. Yes, this means you need to use the Custom editor as your image editor, but it seems to have resolved the issue.

    I installed Photoshop CC (2014) yesterday through the Creative Cloud app. Now, when in Lightroom when I go to "edit in"and select Photoshop CC (2014) and click on "edit copy with Lightroom adjustments",  it opens Photoshop CC (2014) but my photo doesn't show up?  My photo does show up when I click on "edit copy" or "edit original".
    How can I correct that so that I can open up a photo from Lightroom WITH the Lightroom adjustments? Thanks!

    I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
    The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

  • "Edit in" Photoshop CS4 no longer working. Lightroom to Photoshop

    I just replaced my home desktop Win8 computer. I reinstalled all my software and for a brief period Lightroom (v. 5.7 with Camera Raw 8.7) was working with Photoshop CS4. Now, I use "Edit in" Photoshop and the Photoshop program will open, but it will not open my Lightroom selected photo.
    Yes, I have looked through the forums and tried reinstalling both programs. It still doesn't work.
    I am VERY frustrated with Adobe. Adobe doesn't seem to be providing an update that works, nor is it easy to contact the company for help. Someone please...?  Ron [email protected]

  • Images edited in Photoshop not showing up correctly in Lightroom after saving

    Hi,
    I recvently got Adobe cloud and upgraded from Lightroom 3 to 4.  Since the upgrade I have been having issues with Lightroom not correctly displaying images edited in Photoshop.  Instead of the photoshop image it creates a new jpeg and displays that in the library.  the PSD does not get loaded into the library.
    I am taking a jpeg from my library and shoosing the edit in Photoshop function.  I am selecting edit a copy, but have tried it with original and with edit a copy with lightroom adjustments as well with the same results. 
    In Photoshop I am duplicating the base layer, upscaling the image, running some filters, adding dsome adjustment layers. 
    I save the image in Photoshop format back to the original folder where the initial jpeg was in the Lightroom library.  I save it with maximize compatibility on.
    When I go back to Lightroom, the catalog displays two files, the initial jpeg and an identical copy to it, NOT the new photoshop file with alterations.  If I go to the folder the images are housed in in Finder using the show in Finder command both images link to the same original jpeg.  The photoshop edited file is there in the folder but does not show up in Lightroom unless I drag and drop it.
    I have turned off all filters and made sure the sort is sorting by name.  The image does not automatically show up in Lightroom after editing.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks for any help!
    PS. I did search the topic and there are threads from 2007 and lightroom 2 but their solution was to start from scratch essentially and I have a carefully tagged, starred, and labeled catalog of 30,000+ images and really don't want to do that

    Images that are edited in Photoshop will be displayed automatically in Lr only when the image-file saved in Photoshop is the same as the one opened from Lr.
    You say you open a JPG from Lr, then edit it in PS by - among other things - adding some layers. Layers are not supported in the JPG-format so you have to either save it as a psd or as a jpg-copy.
    In either case this is not the same image file as the one opened in Lr, so it will have to be imported into Lr to show up. If you would flatten your image after editing in PS and then do a <save> to your JPG - not a <save as> - it will show up in Lr.
    PS: the only exception is when you open a Raw image from Lr in PS and you save it in PS in the file format specified in Lr for external editing. The saved file will automatically show in LR.

  • Edit in external editor with lightroom adjustments issue LR5 and PS CC

    Since several days when I try (in Lightroom) 5 to edit an adjusted file (NEF, JPEG or TIFF) in Photoshop CC as external editor (with the option "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments") in many cases the adjustments ar not visible in photoshop CC, or only partial visible, and sometimes the file opens not at all. Removal of the preference files of LR 5 and PS CC and  a whole new installation of LR 5 didn't resolve the issue. I have a macbookPRO with Mac OS 10.8.5 and the most recent versions of LR 5 and PS CC. Has anyone experienced this problem and what can be a solution.

    I have no idea, but have you tried File / Catalog Settings/ General tab: Relaunch and Optimize. Relates to the database.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS4... does not open the selected file.

    Sorry if this is an old topic, but I can not seem to find the answer and I was hoping someone here might know.
    When in Lightroom (2.2 or 2.3) if I select "Edit in Photoshop CS4..." or any of those dropdown commands, Photoshop opens....and that is it. The selected photo from Lightroom is NOT opened/merged/panoramaized. duuh. frustrating.
    So I re-installed Lightroom, updated to the 2.3, re-installed CS4. all with the same effect that Photoshop opens, but the selected file is NOT opened.
    Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    When you remove the obvious,
    that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
    Short version:
    When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
    Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
    One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
    ie.
    if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
    X
    Y
    all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
    vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
    After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
    Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
    But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
    AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
    But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
    Best,
    Jim

  • Lightroom 3's "edit in photoshop CS4" does not preserve "detail" values

    Hi all,
    I am giving lightroom 3 a try (finally...), but noticed that when I have an image to which I have applied "detail" adjustments to reduce luminescence and color noise, using "edit in Photoshop CS4" opens the image without the detail adjustments applied. I don't see the option to pick whether to edit "the image" or "the image with lightroom settings" anywhere, and I'm scratching my head trying to find an option in the preferences (both LR and Catalog prefs) that lets me pick "edit with lightroom settings applied".
    It's a bit useless this way =/
    Does anyone know how to make "edit in ..." for lightroom 3 always apply the image corrections to the edit copy?

    I had been looking for that option, turns out the only way to get it back was to reset all warning dialogs. After telling LR to render with lightroom, things look great again.
    Thanks!

  • When trying to use "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustements" from Lightroom, Photoshop opens but no photo is displayed.

    I can see from searching online that this is a regular question but I have not yet seen a solution.
    I am running Lightroom 5.4 and Photoshop CC 14.2.1, both kept updated via the monthly subscription, on a 2013 MacMini running OSX 10.9.3
    Starting with jpg's:
    If I try  "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustements" - Photoshop opens but no photo displayed in PS
    If "Edit a Copy" or "Edit Original" then Photoshop displayes the file OK
    If I am using Canon Raw files (.CR2) from my Canon 70D, then AS EXPECTED Lightroom starts Photoshop with the intervening dialog box about opening a copy or original but again just a blank screen and no photo displayed.
    Has anybody found a solution yet?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Victoria,
    I dont have 3.6. but I installed lightroom 4 and the function worked fine. But i didnt like the version 4, as it consumes a lot of resources.
    I can open raw files without any problem.
    And this function had been working before and suddenly this stopped working. I didnt do any setttings changes even.
    Really appreciate your help on this.

  • Cannot Edit a Copy w/ Lightroom Adjustments in I LR 2

    I am using Lightroom 2 w/ Windows Vista. Just recently I found that after I make a few edits in the Develop module and then try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 I no longer get the window offering a choice of options such as "Edit a Copy w/ Lightroom Adjustments". I can't find anything in the Preferences that explains this. Updating to Lightroom 2.1 did not help.

    There are numerous threads about this in this forum, but a brief answer is:
    You will only get the dialog offering the choices if you edit a non-RAW file, i.e. .jpg, .tif, .psd.
    If you edit a .dng, .cr2, .nef, or other RAW file using the primary editor you will not be offered the choice. This is by design.
    If you
    are editing a non-RAW file and aren't offered the dialog box then you have a problem.

  • Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment suddenly stopped working

    I have been using lightroom 3.4 and photoshop CS6 for sometime. However suddenly I cant move images from lightroom to photoshop (Ctrl+E) with the "Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment".
    When I click this option, it opens the Photoshop. But doesnt open the image. However the other two options "edit a copy" and "Edit original" works fine.
    Also when i add photoshop again as another external editor, it works fine. But as you all are aware this create another copy of the image.
    What I did
    I checked the applications path for photoshop and it was correct.
    I uninstalled lightroom and reinstalled.

  • Editing in Photoshop CS4 rotates image

    After making adjustments in Lightroom 3.2, if I then edit the image in Photoshop CS4, the image rotates slightly clockwise and affects any cropping and adjustments to the vertical I have already done in Lightroom. The rotation occurs as the image is opened in Photoshop so that when I return from Photoshop to Lightroom my image has changed (not counting those made in Photoshop). Why is this happening? I am working in Windows 7.

    Thanks, Dorin, for your response. That sounds like the right explanation. Would CS5 handle the perspective adjustments and lens corrections correctly?
    The files I am editing in Lightroom are pef (Pentax) or dng converted from pef by DxO. Right now I am right-clicking the image in Lightroom and selecting "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4". I get the same result with Ctrl+E; but Ctrl+Alt+E does nothing for me. Nothing happens with the latter. That may be because I am already using Topaz's tlfusionexpress2 as Lightroom's secondary editor.

  • How do I transfer my RAW lightroom4 edits into Photoshop CS4? (with LR edits)

    I know how to "edit in" Photoshop... but, ever since my upgrade to LR4, the file transfers un-edited. In LR3 it would transfer with the LR adjustments.  HELP!

    Thank you!! You saved the day!!  Why is it doing this? Is it because I don't have Camera RAW 7.3?  My understanding is that I can't update to 7.3.... Thoughts?
    Thank you for your time!!

  • Float images in photoshop cs4 - edit preferences untick open doc as tab doesnt work

    Hi, i have read about floating all images in windows on the forums and i have tried unticking the open documents as tabs in the edit preferences - interface section and it doesnt work, my hand is really starting to hurt, i dont know why this isnt working ?

    If you drag the files to the margins (e.g., near the menu bar) of Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2), and not to the workspace, they will actually open as windows.
    It'll actually do the expected thing in CS5 (i.e., open as Window) even if you drag the file to the workspace - in other words they finally fixed that bug.
    Kind of a shame Adobe doesn't think blatantly wrong stuff like the "drag to workspace always opens a tabbed view" bug is important enough to fix in maintenance releases for older products.

  • LR2.2 to edit in Photoshop CS4 yield lighter images in PS

    I notice a problem since upgrading to PS CS4 from PS CS3, that when I select Edit in PS CS4 from within LR 2.1, the image that opens in PS is noticeably lighter by about one stop. I get the same result if I edit as smart object or as a TIF. If I make no changes within PS but just save the TIF file and then go back to LR, the new TIF saved from within PS and the original CR2 (or DNG) file appear to be at the same exposure when viewed inside LR2.1. I was hoping that upgrading to LR2.2 would fix the problem, but it has not. It is exactly the same.
    I've checked all of my LR and PS settings and preferences and there is not additional processing that is being done when I edit in PS. It's really strange.
    My monitor, an Eizo ColorEdge CE240W, is properly calibrated. I'm running a MacPro 8 core with Leopard 10.5.6.
    I have exactly the same software and settings installed on my MacBookPro 15" but I do not have the problem there.
    I tried uninstalling PS-CS4, deleting PS and LR preferences and reinstalling PS-CS4 to no avail. I did not have this problem with previous versions of LR and PS.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
