LR4.1 won't recognize PE 10 for external editing

I get this new iMac (OS 10.8.2) and I upgrade from LR3 to LR4.1. I had Photoshop Elements 10 loaded first before LR. The problem is when I am in LR4 and I want to edit a photo in the external editor. It opens PSE10 but no window and no photo. I was able to do this easily on a Windows machine matching LR3 and PSE10 and figured this would be just as easy. Not to fast apparently. What to do?

OK, I reinstalled and it got a little better. PSE10 would open but there seemed to be a struggle with the cursor flashing with a colored disk icon. In the meantime I was able to load CS6 and it seems to be working fine on its own and as an external editor for LR4. Any chance I'm picking the wrong file/folder for PSE10? There are a couple of tempting options:
Applications/Photoshop Elements 10
Applications/Photoshop Elements 10/Support Files/Photoshop Elements Editor

  • 10.8.5 won't recognize my camera for download

    My computer won't recognize my camera for picture downloads.  Worked before with older Mac system.

    Your Panasonic should work fine under normal circumstances.
    Remove the firewire hub from the loop. It will be a trouble maker.
    Formatting must be Mac OS Extended. To check it, go to the firewire icon on your Desktop and right click it then select Get Info.
    If it's not Mac OS Extended, use the disc utility to re-format, be aware that this will erase all files so BACKUP any imortant files before proceding.
    You will need a spare firewire port to plug in the camera. Some externals have two, if yours has two, try it, otherwise you will have to add the suggested card to add the additional port.
    Does the G4 have two?
    The card arrangement gives you an additional BUS and is light years ahead of a firewire port for video editing.

  • Lightroom 4 doesn't detect Photoshop Elements 9/10 for external editing

    Hi,
    I own Photoshop Elements 9 and recently decided to install trials of Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 10.  For whatever reason, Lightroom doesn't detect Photoshop Elements 9 or 10 for external editing.  I need to make sure this functionality works before proceeding with purchasing Lightroom and possibly Photoshop Elements 10.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    List of supported Nikon cameras. I think you're out of luck for tether-shooting.

      Notes on Nikon cameras   
    If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
    Images do not save to the compact flash card. They are only downloaded to the computer.
    Only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time.
    Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6 are not officially supported for the D3x, D90, and D5000, but they can still work.

  • Color Space for external editing

    I know I can set LightRoom Preferences to open an image in Photoshop, but it seems my only choices are ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB or sRGB as working spaces. I'd like to set it up to use BetaRGB as my standard editing space. I know I could open in ProPhoto and convert to Beta RGB, but that is an extra step each and every time I edit an image. I would prefer to go straight from LR to Beta RGB in Photoshop.
    Is there any way to do this or am I stuck with one of the big three? If I can change it, how?
    Thanks,
    Lou Dina

    Thanks...that'll work, though I'd prefer if Adobe allowed the use of any profile for external editing to retain the features you mentioned.
    I just created an Export preset, with Beta RGB, full sized PSD, save to same folder, add to catalog and open in Photoshop after the export is complete. That'll work.
    Thanks,
    Lou

  • Which option do you use? PSD or TIFF for external edits?

    I'd like to hear why you use PSD or TIFF for external edits. Why do you choose one over the other? Do you wish you had a choice, as in an option, when you click on Edit in External Editor?

    I did a little reading on this and this is what I have found so far:
    Deke McClelland in Adobe Photoshop CS2 one-on-one states:
    "TIFF is a wonderful format to use when handing off CMYK files because it enjoys wide support and prints without incident."
    He also states "Photoshop also lets you save layers to the TIFF and PDF formats, but where multilayer compositions are concerned, the native PSD Format enjoys wider support among other imaging applications (including, older versions of Photoshop itself)."
    Classroom In A Book states:
    "TIFF is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible format supported by virtually all pain, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all destop scanners can produce TIFF images.
    "PSE is the default file format. Because of the tight integration between Adobe products, other Adobe applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe GoLive can directly import PSD files and preserve many Photoshop features.
    Apple Aperture 1.5 by Mike Cuenca:
    "PSD: The Photoshop proprietary format is widely used by digital imaging professionals because it supports the storage of alpha channels and layers. Aperture will preserve this extra data byt will not display the layers or channels. PSD files are not compressed, and although they are intended for use within Photoshop, they are becoming more widely accepted outside Photoshop."
    "TIFF: The TIFF format is the recommended format for high quality storage of master images. It has a loss-less compression method that can be applied, but more often the images are stored uncompressed. The TIFF format is also the most widely used format for images destined to be printed on a printing press."
    Maybe some of this will help

  • Windows 7 Professional XP Mode won't recognize internal DVD or external USB drives

    Windows 7 Professional XP Mode - won't recognize USB external drives or internal DVD drive
    I recently purchased a new Toshiba laptop and ordered configured with Windows 7 Professional so I could use XP mode for some older programs.  The Virtual Mode and XP mode work ok, but the computer will not
    recognize any external USB storage drives or the internal DVD drive.  This prevents me from saving and transferring any file that I work on in XP mode. 
    ,I also tried to copy and paste the file from XP Mode over to a document file to 7 Professional Mode, but it won't allow that.  It also will not recognize any printer when in XP Mode,
    so I can't print out the file either. 
     Basically, I have no way to store or move a file out of the computer when in XP Mode.
    Does anyone know what I need to do so that the computer will recognize the USB drives and internal DVD drive when I am running in XP mode? 

    Checked these ?

  • How to change the suffix for externally edited files?

    Hi,
    How can I change the suffix Lightroom adds to externally edited files?
    If I want it to be "-E" instead of "-Edit" for example, or "-Mod" instead of the long and ugly "-Modifier" in french version.
    That would help me to get shorter filenames.
    Thank you!

  • My imac won't recognize my passport for mac external drive

    I just bought a WD my passport for mac external drive to back up my imac with Snow leopard OS. the passport icon doesn't show on the desktop and when I look using disk utility the external drive isn't recognized. The external drive has nothing wrong with it as I plugged it into a newer imac running 10.9.5 and it works fine on that machine. I went through the troubleshooting steps from WD and the only one left is trouble with the OS. I have updated the software and downloaded the drivers from WD and still no change. Any suggestions? thanks!

  • ITunes 9.2.1 won't recognize my new LG external burner

    The Pioneer optical drive on my iMac 1.25 FP is dead. I bought a new LG HL-DT-DVDRAM GH24NS95 optical drive and it burns DVDs no problem but I cannot get iTunes 9.2.1 to recognize the new burner. What do I need to do to make it work? I tried Patchburn and that didn't do it--iTunes simply quits when I try to burn an audio or mp3 cd. I have also tried using BurnXfree and Dragon Burn. Suggestions? Solution? Help!!!!

    Hey R.O., thanks for tolerating me. 15+ years of using Apple/Mac products exclusively and this is maybe the 3rd or 4th problem I've encountered. All were easily resolved. But, this iTunes issue....oy vey!
    1. No LG firmware that I could find related to this problem.
    2. I am able to burn an audio and/or mp3 cd using "Burn" and my new LG, and get this: it plays through iTunes when inserted into the LG--so, iTunes is recognizing it to a certain extent; could that be right?
    3. No matter what (Pioneer internal drive or LG external drive), when I try to burn music from iTunes (9.2.1), it quits.
    4. Is it possible that I'm incurring this issue because I have my iTunes app installed on my internal HD and the iTunes Library/Media on an external OWC Mercury 160GB drive (I have over 120GB of music stored there)? If so, that doesn't make sense becuase I've had the OWC external for years and have used a different external CD-RW (Toshiba?) to burn from iTunes previously with no issues at all.
    5. No, I don't see any option/drop down menu in my iTunes to switch target drives when I try to burn; iTunes just quits "unexpectedly."

  • CS4 won't recognize DV camera for capture

    I installed CS4 Master Collection and all works well except for Premiere. It won't capture. The error is " Can't activate controller. Try re-setting Camera" Windows New Found Hardware recognizes it and says it's ready to use. I click "No Action" or "Edit using Premiere" still does not work. In device control and capture I have adjusted the setting from generic to the brand names/models of both cameras I tried. It does say "Off Line" and when I turn the camera on, it gives me the error. I have not tried to update my video driver but I didn't think that would have anything to do with it. Any suggestions Please?

  • Imac won't recognize all files on external.....

    Hi guys, fairly new to apple here so this is prolly an easy fix. I have a late 06 early 07 17 in imac running 10.4.11 Problem is, i recently purchased a seagate 1TB external hard drive. Well, Mac reads all of my pictures, folder with audio books..... it reads music and movie folders, but reads music and movies as empty with no contents. I can plug the same hard drive back into my pc laptop and it works perfectly all files are present...... please help, any ideas or fixes will be greatly appreciated.....

    A drive purchased new will likely be formatted NTFS. Tiger can read NTFS but can't write to it. I'm guessing this may present problems when trying to create a Mac directory of the files actually present on that drive.
    Various options.
    Format drive (backup files first!!) to FAT32. Downside is FAT32 has file size limit of 4GB so no good if used for huge files (many small still OK). Also FAT32 can't be repaired by Mac disc repair tools.
    Format drive to Mac Extended. Downside is PC can't read drive unless you get special software for PC.
    Uh, I think there's a third options which is software to enable Mac to work with NTFS but I don't recall it being an ideal solution.

  • Upgraded to latest Itunes - won't recognize songs in my external drive?

    I recently upgraded to the latest Itunes. I store all my music on an external hard drive. Now I can't seem to get the Itunes library to pull songs from the hard drive - getting the message "The song __ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I didn't have this problem before. I tried importing the songs from the hard drive but now my library has doubled and I'm still having problems launching music. Anyone have any input? Thanks in advance.

    No, my problem is when I open iTunes, none of my tunes are there because the new iTunes 8.1 looks into my hard drive iTunes for the library and it's blank. when I use preferences/advanced and choose "change" and attempt to select the library from my external drive, it's greyed out . . . not accessible.

  • Imac core2 duo mountain lion won't recognize D key for diagnostics

    I've tried everything I can thnk of to get my mac to boot diagnostics. Is there any way to get a diagnostic only bootable media? Wired or wireless keyboards make no difference. Nor does booting with the option key, selecting the CD, and pressing the D key before going on.

    Tommy197944 - i have tried all 4 USB ports as well as different USB cables.   I took the drive to the Apple Store where they tried it on several different systems. iMAC running OS X 10.8.5; MACbook Pro running OS X Lion and a MACbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5.   Both MACbook Pros mounted the drive but the iMAC failed to mount the drive.  I remember a blog response saying swapping the OS X Mountain Lion's DVDPlayback.Framework file for OS X Lion's DVDPlayback.Framework might solve the issue. 
    It is perplexing that the exact same Samsung DVD Writer, model SE-208DC/TSWS mounts on MACbook Pro running the latest version of Mountain Lion (10.8.5).  That MACbook Pro also had an internal DVD Writer.  The Samsung DVD Writer was also tested on a MACbook Pro running Lion and it also mounted correctly.  So what did Apple change in OS X Mountain Lion that would prevent the iMAC from mounting the external Samsung DVD Writer.  The Samsung DVD Writer has no drivers for the MAC.  It depends on the OS X files.  I am trying to keep a positive attitude and hoping Apple did not change OS X Mountain Lion to prevent 3rd party external DVD Writers from mounting correctly with the new IMACs that no longer can be configured with an internal DVD Writer. 
    Most grateful for some proven solutions.

  • New 4S won't recognize contact names for messages

    I just got the new 4S iPhone (woohoo!).  Everything synced to this new phone, including my contacts.  However, it's doing this strange thing with the texts -- its not recognizing the phone numbers with my contacts.  So, although I have the number stored under someone's name in my phone, the text is only showing the phone number .... What can I do to change this???
    I even tried saying these text messages under the contacts name, but it still won't do anything.

    I recently updated over the air to ios 5.1 over the air on my iphone.  Now when I send texts to other iphone users, it is showing my old apple id as my identification on their iphones...instead of my name/mobile number shown in their contacts.  I recently updated my apple id to a new email address because I changed carriers.  Accessing itunes store with new apple id works fine.
    So I send a text to my friend and he sees "[email protected]" instead of my name which is in his contacts.  The same thing happens with other people with iphones.  I have VW as my carrier.  If I send texts to non iphone users, they show my name as listed in their contacts.  So definitely an iphone to iphone issue.
    I tried reprogramming the phone using *228 with VW and pressing 1.  It hasn't helped.  It also went back to normal for a day so I thought it was fixed, but is happening again now.
    This is so frustrating.  My iphone friends don't know who I am when I text them so they aren't responding!!!!
