LR4 Edit in Photoshop

I just got LR4.1 installed, and I imported some RAW images from my Canon 5D2. I make some color adjustments in LR, then want to close something out. I select to export to photoshop CS5. When I am done making my clone, I save the file. When I return to LR, I notice that the color settings are all off. The exposure has changed, the saturation, highlights, etc. This did not happen to me in LR3. Any ideas?

LR does not "have" any kind of ACR. It is just notifying you which is the ACR version that is required externally, in order to get FULL inter-compatibility, in a case where develop settings are being passed back-and-forth in both directions between LR and PS .
In the case where it is just bitmap data that is going out from LR, and then coming back, no compatibility of Develop settings is required at all; in fact ACR is not even involved. This is what you get when LR is set to render the image itself.
If, instead, it is going to be ACR which renders LR's settings into a bitmap, then ACR 6.7 is the earliest version which can do that correctly, for a LR4 (2012 process version) image.
But ACR 6.7 is not capable of working back-and-forth in both directions with LR, in terms of live PV2012 develop settings; without raising a compatibility problem.
You might check your LR preferences, Presets tab, and make sure "apply auto tone adjustments" is turned off. If turned on, this would explain the behaviour of your Basic panel tone sliders.

  • LR4 - Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom 4

    When I go 'edit in Photoshop' I'm not getting a dialog box that gives me the options of whether or not to include Lightroom adjustments etc. How do I get that? Can anyone help? At the moment, none of my Lightroom adjustments are carrying across.

    Hi - thanks for replying. I've just figured it out. On the initial dialog (render in Lightroom or open anyway) I needed to hit 'render in Lightroom. I've just downloaded the ACR 6.7 Camera RAW which also solves it.

  • I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo Edit In Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?

    I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo>Edit In>Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?

    You might also ask for help in the Lightroom forum.
    What I have found is that when I upgraded from PSE12 to 13, my Lightroom 5.6 still selected PSE12 in the list of external editors. I had to use the preferences menu to select the right PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13 folder. I got a message stating that Photoshop Elements was already selected as external editor. In that message box, there is a button with the option to 'change anyway', which I did. Now LR correctly opens PSE13 when I choose Edit in Elements.

  • Remove CS5 ACR PV2010 plugin so "Edit In Photoshop" uses LR4's current PV2012...

    ...so LR4 doesn't create a copy of the image.
    New to LR4 coming from using CS3 Bridge>ACR>Photoshop leaving only an xmp file icon to indicate in Bridge thumbnails the image has been edited.
    I liked that workflow but LR4 which I bought to use its PV2012 processing engine gets the Raw engine mismatch Preference dialog box after choosing "Edit In Photoshop" that forces you to either choose the Raw image rendered with CS5 PV2010 engine (I upgraded to) or create a copy in LR4 to use its PV2012 engine. I want to avoid the copy being made and still use LR4's PV2012 and I don't want to have to export the file which defeats the copied file issue.
    If I removed CS5's ACR plugin version from its folder registry would this make that happen?
    I probably already know the answer to what's going to happen but thought I'ld just throw it out there in case someone already tried it.

    I'm aware of all that, ssprengel, but that's not what I'm talking about.
    I can see no one is going to be able to confirm the title of this topic to see what happens removing CS5's ACR plugin and sending a Raw file to Photoshop using "Edit In Photoshop" in LR4.
    I guess I should point out the fact about keeping two Raw engines up-to-date in two separate editing apps requires both Photoshop and LR to be on parity which means you have to keep upgrading Photoshop while using LR or else create copies in LR so you can open them in old versions of Photoshop.
    It sort of defeats the xmp workflow strategy where now the user has to make a copy for every image they want to work on in old versions of Photoshop where if they don't they lose the PV2012 processing. I'm on that upgrade hump where I had to pay for LR and now CS6 upgrade to get the Raw engine PV2012 processing on parity.
    Or else stay out of Photoshop all together which is an option. It's a PITA If users want to work on a Raw file in Photoshop as it works out of Bridge users have to keep buying upgrades to Photoshop with each upgrade to LR if by chance LR PV20xx improves forcing the user to keep two reduntant Raw editors.
    Here's an idea since ACR is a plugin and not really part of Photoshop, why not make LR a plugin or come up with some kind of code structure that mimics this so we don't have this battle of the Raw engine version upgrade parity issue.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 greyed out in LR4 and LR3

    Since one of the many upgrade to LR3 I have not been able to edit in photoshop, it is greyed out.  I thought the upgrade to LR$ would deal with this but it has not. I have tried the upgrade to beta 6.7 but this does not help. Would removing CS5 and reinstalling help?  Very frustrating.

  • Edit in photoshop is greyed out in both LR3 and LR4

    Sudenly the edit in photoshop option has been greyed out in both programs It has always worked and for no apparant reason that I can recall this has happened Can anyone advise what has caused this please

    sonsteby,
    You didn't describe any problem, except for not being able to re-install. And your problem is not the same as brownwood1 had.
    Your problem is probably from passing a 16-bit file to Photoshop, and most of the filters only work on 8-bit files. You can change Bit Depth in your preferences:
    or you can change mode in PS on an individual basis:

  • Multiple Edits in Photoshop not saving into Lightroom?

    In Lightroom 3 I was able to edit in Photoshop, save the file, then make another edit in photoshop and save it under a different name, and that file would also show up in Lightroom.
    For example;
    in Lightroom I select "Image 1" and select edit in photoshop,
    I edit this in photoshop and save.
    Lightroom shows "Image 1-edit"
    I make another edit and select "Save As" and save it as "Image 1 Alternate".
    "Image 1 Alternate" shows up in Lightroom next to "Image 1-edit"
    This does not appear to be happening with Lightroom 4. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
    Thanks for your replies

    Additional "save as" edits are saved into Lightroom 3. It does not "break the link".
    I'm assuming here that you are using Photoshop CS5.x and the current version of Camera Raw? If so, this is as expected...LR4 is using a pipeline that will match up to ACR 7 when it's released.
    As it is now, LR4 must actually do the processing prior tp sending it to Photoshop. LR4 also has to save the file on disk prior to sending it to Photoshop.
    If you were using ACR 7 in CS6 then ACR would actually be doing the processing and the behavior of this way of opening in Photoshop does NOT have to save the file prior to sending it to Photoshop. When ACR does the opening, you can do a Save or a Save As and Lightroom will know about those saves. Pretty LR4 doesn't know where the Save As file goes to and that's why it isn't showing up.
    The two basic behaviors; LR synced with ACR and LR not synced with ACR goes back to version 2 (I think). It's a limitation in LR when LR and ACR aren't in sync.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.1 fails

    I am using LR 4.1 and PS CS6 on a Win7 64bit system.  Previously with LR3 and LR4 I was able to "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom to CS5 and all was well.  Now with LR4.1 and PS CS6 when I "Edit in Photoshop CS6" I get a partial image.  Any image that I try produces various versions of this.  The attached screen capture shows a blank area in the upper left corner.  Other images have shown several smaller blank areas in various positions on the image, and one image contained several blank areas plus a small inset of the image.
    This is quite frustrating, as I generally use LR to crop and make minor adjustments in a photo, then edit some photos in PS.  Now I can no longer edit anything in PS without first exporting the image from LR, work on it in PS, then save it and reimport it into LR.  Very inconvenient.
    Please advise what I am doing wrong or let me know if there is a workaround.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Herschel

    This is probably a video card driver bug which has been reported in the PS forum from time to time. It's a PS problem, not a LR problem.
    Assuming this is Windows, go to the video card maker's website and download an updated driver. Don't rely on Windows update; they're frequently several versions behind. On a Mac it would have to be through OS X updates.

  • Edit in Photoshop issue

    I just upgraded to LR4 and CS6 on a MAC running 10.7.  When I edit the image in LR and click Edit in Photoshop, Photoshop opens but never actually opens the image.  Please help. 

    Lee Jay, I want the 2nd to do the exact thing the first does. As best I can tell, I have them setup identical and the first computer is not doing creating/saving files with a -Edit.tif in the file name.
    In any event, my bottom line is I want to choose "Edit in Photoshop CS3", have the file open in CS3 ready to edit, but not create a new file on my hard drive with a "-Edit" in the file name. I don't want anything automatically saved on my hard drive until I choose to save in CS3, and will likely save as a .jpg.
    So how can I accomplish this?
    Apologies for any confusion trying to explain this.

  • Edit in Photoshop TIFF Compression Not Applied

    I'm running LR4.1 on Windows 7 and have my LR 'External Editing' preferences set to 'ZIP' compression. When I 'Save' an 'Edit In' file from inside PS CS6 it does not apply ZIP compression. I verified this by checking the file size, then resaving using 'Save As' and selecting 'ZIP' compression in the save file options. The file size was reduced as expected, so LR is creating a TIFF file that does not respect my preferences setting for 'ZIP' compression.
    In addition the TIFF file created by LR4.1 'Edit In' defaults to Macintosh 'Byte Order:
    There is no LR 'Preferences' setting to change the 'Byte Order' to IBM PC, yet many agencies specifically want TIFF files with Intel/PC byte order. I will now have to go back and manually change these settings on any images sent to these agencies. In addition I will have to manually do a 'Save As' and reset these TIFF options for all future LR 'Edit In' Photoshop images.
    Does anyone else have the same issue and/or have a more suitable solution?
    Message was edited by: trshaner I forgot to add that once you 'Save' a LR 'Edit In' image in PS, the TIFF save dialouge toggles to Macintosh 'Byte Order. This means you have to manually change it in PS the next time ANY TIFF file is opened and resaved inside, to re-toggle it back to the preferred settings.

    That's a very good question. Go to this post with last comment from one year ago:
    Lightroom/Photoshop: TIFF compression settings have no effect when Lightroom sends image to Photoshop for editing
    Scroll down to this post and click on 'view 2 more comments.'
    You can use Image Processor Pro to apply compression to multiple TIFFs already processed, but there's no option in it for also adding ZIP layer compression.

  • Edit in Photoshop - opening original file, no adjustments, no options

    I have LR4 and CS5, when I right click on the photo to edit in photoshop I don't have any options as to how I want to open the file such as original, edited with LR adjusemnts, etc.  When the file immediately opens in photoshop it is opening without any of the global adjusments I made in LR.
    It was working earlier and now (no settings changed to my knowledge) its not working properly?

    Bob,
    OK. If you have CR 6.7, I think, in PS CS5, you'll not get the option. Do your Lightroom changes actually not make it to Photoshop? As an experiment, make a big, noticable change and send that image to PS.

  • How can I get "Edit in Photoshop" to work properly again?

    Hi all,
    I purchased and upgraded to Lightroom 4.0. Got things to work fine with some ACR updates for Photoshop CS3 that I'm currently using. Now have ACR 4.6 installed (the latest for my version of PS) as well as ACR 6.7.
    I was able to make edits to the DNG RAW files in Lightroom 4.0 and then choose Edit in Photoshop (Command-E) and see those changes in a PSD file in Photoshop, where I could make further changes.
    All of a sudden, I went to edit a photo in Photoshop and saw the original DNG file with no Lightroom edits. Some tinkering and update to Lightroom 4.1 but nothing can seem to make it show those Lightroom edits now when I go to Photoshop.
    How did this break? How do I fix it?
    Mac OSX 10.7.3
    Photoshop Lightroom 4.1
    Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1

    My Lightroom 4 was doing a fine job rendering my changes to the RAW file as a PSD on the way into PS, especially after I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 for Photoshop CS3. Then it just stopped, with no warning. To try to fix this problem, I downloaded ACR 6.7 and also LR4.1, but it's still just opening the DNG file when I run Command-E to edit in Photoshop CS3.
    When I use Adobe Bridge CS3 to see the changes I've made in LR4.1 (especially after saving the metadata to the file with Command-S), it shows the updated changes but when I then open in Camera Raw or Photoshop, they're gone.
    Thoughts? I'm worried because Command-E in LR4.1 just opens the DNG without modified changes instead of the PSD file as was customary.

  • 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!!

  • From LR 4.3, saved edits in Photoshop CS6 not changing in LR (when running an Action)

    From Lightroom 4.3, I am editing to Photoshop CS6 and able to make my edits and adjustments with a couple of Nik Software plugins running in an Action.  The Action saves correctly and the changes are visible in Photoshop.  When I switch back to Lightroom, the changes did not save.
    However, when I try to do the same thing and replicate the steps of the Action manually, the changes do save correctly and they are visible in Lightroom.
    This same action worked perfectly fine before I updated to LR4.3.  The Action is key to my workflow, and not being able to use it significantly slows me down.
    Is there a workaround known?
    Thanks!
    Nick

    Web-Weaver,
    Thanks for that detail.  When I looked at my Action, it indeed was a <save as> command. So I re-recorded the Action, and recorded <save>, but in the Action, it still shows up as a <save as> recorded entry.  I don't seem to be able to edit the entry to make it just a <save>.
    Some additional detail, the <save as> that was recorded specifies that it be saved as a PSD format, and it also specifies a distinct filename and location.  When I created a Droplet, and ran it on several files, they were all saved to that same filename.
    Any further suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Nick
