LR5 Spot Removals disappear when choosing "Edit in... Photoshop CS5"

This is quite frustrating. I go over my photo and remove dust specs in LR5, then choose to edit the image further in Photoshop CS5 (Right click or Cmd+E -> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5). When the photo opens in Photoshop all the Spot Removals I have done are *gone*! I can not say I have noticed this before, and I have been using LR5 since it became available. But now nothing helps - It keeps doing this, no matter how many times I close PS and LR and re-open. Spot Removal just keeps getting reset when I wanna edit a photo in Photoshop.
I shot a video of it, which can be viewed or downloaded here: http://cl.ly/280R2p09341u
Hope this gets fixed soon, or someone can provide some tips. Incredibly annoying...
I'm on an iMac 2013, OS X 10.8.4.
Photoshop CS5, Version 12.0.4 x64
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, Version 5.0

LR 5 is using the equivalent of ACR 8.1 and in Photoshop CS5 the latest ACR version is ACR 6.7 so they are nt 100% compatible. You should be getting a pop up warning dialog. You need to choose render using Lightroom (or words to that effect). If you do not see any warning dialog you may have disabled it.
In Lightroom 5 go to menu bar Edit> Prefrences> General tab> under prompts at the bottom of the dialog box select "Reset all warning dialogs"
Try again and you should get the option to make the correct choice. Do not choose "Open anyway"

Image cropped when choosing "edit in Photoshop" - why??

Here is my intended workflow
1) Choose RAW picture from gallery in LightRoom
2) Make basic adjustments to the whole picture (levels, exposure, cropping)
3) Make final adjustments in PhotoShop
4) Have the file available to edit in a different cropped size in LightRoom
Why is it that when I click "edit in Photoshop", the picture doesn't do a non-destructive crop?
Thanks

When you use 'Edit in Photoshop' the file must be saved as a TIFF, PSD, or JPEG file after you've completed your PS edits. The PS edited file can then be edited further in LR. This video may help:

Why don't my adjustments in LR4 show up when I edit in Photoshop CS5?

Why is it when I edit an image in lightroom 4 then go to retouch etc in photoshop cs5 those adjustements that I made on the image in lightroom ie contrast, saturation, exposure etc don't show up when I move the raw image into photoshop to do final retouching on the image but still have it in my lightroom catalog? It is the camera raw issue that comes up when you first try to edit an image and lightroom says it needs camera 7.0 which does't exist yet?

If you read the post in the Lightroom Journal you will get the full answers to the OP request.
1. you need ACR 6.7 Release Candidate in Photoshop CS 5 to be able to pass the raw data from LR 4.
2. Camera raw 7.x will not be available in PS CS5 you will require PS CS6 which is now available in release candidate.version. All the info you need is there.
I was just passing on the link to the official info from the head of the Lightroom team so the correct info could be viewed so there would be a minimum of mis-understanding.

When i write in photoshop cs5 the error

when i write in photoshop cs5 the error is (img)
Why this error please help me

This error is generally caused by a incompatible/incomplete/corrupt font. When you select the type tool, Photoshop reads all of your available fonts to generate a WYSIWYG list. To test if a bad font is the cause of this error, go to Preferences > Type and disable the Font Preview. If the Type tool now works without error, then we know a font is the root issue.
If on Windows, uninstall (drag font files out of the Fonts folder) and reinstall (drag font files into the Fonts folder) your most recent fonts. The files will be verified on reinstall and most likely one or more will give an error. If on Mac, validate your fonts with Fontbook.

How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

Editing in Photoshop CS5 and return to LR5 as .jpg

Hello,
I am fairly new to LR, so this may be a stupid question, but here goes....
Occasionally I have a photo that I have made my edits to in LR5 and now want to take into Photoshop CS5 to do a few minor things and I understand how that is done. My issue is that when I save it and it is brought back into LR it is now a .psd (I know that is because I have set it up that way in my LR Preferences). That is great when I want to save detailed layers with edits from photoshop incase I need to go back in and tweak them, however in the instance where the PS edits are so minor and no layers were created, I really don't want the massive file size that comes along with the .psd version. Is it possible to bring it back to LR as a .jpg? If there is a better way to handle this in my workflow please let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Ria

Yes, I understand your concerns with storage space.
I would also keep the CR2 files; I shoot with Nikons and keep my NEFs.
I don't know if converting to DNG is actually such a good idea. They are called a Raw format but the more I read about that the more doubtful I become.
Adobe says that converting to DNG would be good in case the original Raw-format from camera would not be supported any more.
But Nikon and Canon have been around for quite some time - maybe longer than Adobe - and in today's corporate world there is no guarantee for permanent DNG-support either.
So it seems to me that you could stop saving DNGs since you are saving and keeping your CR2s anyway, which I would recommend.
In the past I have also edited many (if not most) of my images in PS, mostly for the reason that the spotting tool in Lr had npt been up to the task.
But that has changed with Lr5. I did some extensive spotting on some images in Lr5 recently, and it is now just as easy - maybe easier - than it is in PS.
As far as tonal and color corrections go I find that Lr is superior to PS. Naturally there is no way around PS if you need layers.
I would suggest that you have a thorough look at your workflow and ask yourself if it is really necessary that you edit in PS "for a couple of minor edits".
So you could possibly avoid amassing huge amounts of PSDs/TIFFs.
A 12-quality JPG is most probably not inferior in quality to a 8-bit TIFF or PSD. But a JPG is always a 8-bit image, whereas the other formats give you the option of saving as 16-bits, and that's what you should do if quality is a concern. You say that you have to create JPGs anyway for printing or web-use.
But that does not mean that you have to save as JPG after editing. I treat JPGs as expendables. After uploading I delete them from my system. In Lr I can always create a JPG on the fly from the original. It makes no sense for me to have JPGs sitting around.
BTW: Read this if you are interested in the question if you should use PSDs or TIFFs:http://www.teddillard.com/2009/03/tiff-vs-psd-schewe-via-luminous.html

When I edit in photoshop from lightroom it forgets the stars!

I've used lightroom and photoshop together now for a while, nad it is great. But when I updated to lightroom 3 I started having a problem. When I click "edit in photoshop" and later saves the images it no longer "remembers" what star ranking it had in Lightroom. It remembers the rest of the metadata, but not the stars. When I have it open in photoshop and check the "file info" I can see the metadata, but it seems the star rating disappears some where between having the original in lightroom and editing it in photoshop.
What do I do? It's really annoying!

If it retains the stars rating when you save metadata to file before doing the external edit, this would be the confirmation of the bug mentioned by Victoria.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open or error occurs, when you Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Lightroom 2

Problem: When you try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS3 doesn't open, or after Photoshop opens, you see the error message, "Photoshop could not be launched".
This issue is currently being investigated. At present, there are two possible areas that might be causing this issue. Corrupted metadata or a corrupted catalog, or Photoshop CS3 has not been updated to 10.0.1, or the update did not apply correctly to the application.
We are working for a permanent solution for this issue.
Workaround: Please refer to this Adobe
TechNote for further information.

LR5 wants update to Camera Raw 8.1 to edit in Photoshop (CS5). Can the LR5 dialogue box be ignored?

Does anyone know how i can update camera raw 6 to camera raw 8.1? When working in lightroom 5, when i ctrl-e to edit in photoshop, i get a dialog box saying i need camera raw 8.1. I have photoshop cs5, windows 7, 64 bit, camera raw 6. I dont have creative cloud. Ive tried installing adobe updater, but just get redirected to CC. Any ideas where/how I can get camera raw 8.1? Thank you.

Photoshop CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7

Camera Raw 8.1 is only compatible with CS6+ (including CC). 8.1 is not compatible with CS5.

Non destructive crop preserved when you "Edit in Photoshop"

I hope that there would be an option in the future to crop an image in lightroom, then when you open to "edit in photoshop" the image would be cropped using photoshop new non destructive crop. So that i can tweak color and retouch the whole image then close and i can do final cropping back in LR.

Sometimes, people crop pictures in LR before making many adjustments just to see if the image works, then go on to the next image etc... then batch export to psd or even edit in PS one by one to retouch. Its painstaking to make a virtual copy, reset the crop, export/edit in psd, then copy the original crop from the master raw, then paste it to the psd file. Another way, adobe can make this work is to have an option to have "Edit in Photoshop" command to not apply the crop from LR. Open the full image, then when it imports it back to LR have LR apply the non destructive crop.

Lightroom doesn't stack photo with original back to lightroom when finished editing in photoshop

Hi, hope someone can help.
My lightroom isn't broken, just an annoying thing is happening.
When I used to edit in photoshop, I would finish, photoshop would ask if I wanted to save changes, I would, then when I went back to lightroom the edited photo was right there next to the original raw (a tiff).
Now it doesn't show in lightroom.
I can get the tiff into lightroom by going to import, finding in the folder where the original raw file is and importing.
I have checked under settings, and the 'stack with original' is checked.
Just wondered if I had messed a setting somewhere.
Thanks for you help
Paul

Thanks for your help 007.
I got it working, I reinstalled lightroom and it was still the same, no re-imports of edited photo's.
So here's what I did. I changed the file type when editing in photoshop to PSD (in preferences), and that worked. So I changed it back to TIFF and that works now too.
Cheers
Paul

Incorrect size when photo edited in photoshop

If I am viewing an image at full screen in iPhoto and then open it for editing in Photoshop, The resulting saved image is the wrong size when it uploads to Flickr. Sometimes, it also appears at the wrong size when viewed in iPhoto as well. Generally, rebuilding thumnails corrects the problem. Likewise, images opened from the iPhoto grid view also do not appear incorrectly. Granted, I just named two work-arounds, but neither is very satisfying. Anyone else have a better idea?

Do you have PSE setup this way in iPhoto?
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

HUGE file sizes when editing with Photoshop CS5

Reluctantly I've set Photoshop CS5 up to process photographs for things like barrel distortion that my 18-200 Nikon seems especially prone to.
I open any given photograph with apple-shift-O, make my changes and save. However, the copy that's then put back into Aperture 3 the file size comes out as anything between 30mb and 70mb per photograph - far too big.
I've tried both TIFF 16-bit) and PNG (16-bit) options in Aperture which makes no difference. I've had a look through Photoshop CS5 options but can't see anything which looks correct.
Thanks

I can only assume that it's like this because Aperture 3 only basically allows 2 options, to open in an external editor with either TIFF or PSD - both of which are undesirable because of their huge filesizes. Is there a way of making it open in an external editor with JPEG?
Like jade said, it is not ridiculous. Ideally you would be shooting RAW not (lossy) JPEG to start, but even if you do shoot lossy JPEG you should convert to a lossless format like TIFF or PSD for the entire process of any editing. Large file sizes are a good thing not a bad thing because larger sizes represent more image data. And, hard drive capacity is cheap.
Note that JPEG is a lossy compression algorithm, so when you open a JPEG in Aperture, Photoshop, whatever, the file is decompressed and becomes larger. You can again compress the file (such as back to JPEG) when done editing but be aware that each new compression by a lossy algorithm like JPEG loses image data and may also add undesirable visible artifacts.
