May i send photo from lightroom v4 to photoshop cs6 and open in camera raw?

Hi
i have lightroom v4 last version 64 and photoshop cs6 64 last updates
i would like to send raw file from lightroom to photoshop without converting in psd or tiff but i would like to send from lightoom to photoshop the raw file
in short open the image in camera raw from lightroom
can  i do it?
thanks

Lightroom is Camera Raw. They're exactly the same code, provided versions are in step. Lr 4.4 = ACR 7.4.
"Edit In Photoshop" (Ctrl E) opens the image in Photoshop, just as "Open" does in ACR. And even though you open it from Lightroom, it's actually ACR that silently renders it into Photoshop. Lightroom just passes on its settings.
"Open As Smart Object" embeds the raw file into the PSD, so that you can reopen it in ACR, from Photoshop. Same function as you have in ACR to begin with.
If Lightroom and ACR versions are not in step, things get more complicated and some options are missing.

  • Sending Photos from Lightroom to Photoshop

    Hey guys, when I send photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop (CS6), make changes and return to Lightroom, I will see a new frame with the changes I have just made.  However, I notice that I lose my original enhancement settings from Lightroom.  In other words, the enhancements on the photo are still there, but the sliders from the right hand tool bar have all been reset.  Basically all the changes have been 'baked in' to the photo, so I can no longer make modify/delete the enhancements I originally made.  This is particularly important when working with brushes.
    Is there anything I can do to preserve these modifiers as I go back and forth between Lightroom and Photoshop?

    Thanks ssprengel.  My original image is in raw and was sending to PS using Edit In.  Good to know it wasn't user error on my part.  I'll just have to make sure in the future that all adjustments are final prior to sending to PS.
    Alternatively, you can separate the LR adjustments into those that make most sense before going to PS, and those that make sense to apply afterwards (onto the image that is returned from PS into LR). The latter adjustments would not have been baked in, so would not be visible while in PS. But this would also mean they remain editable nondestructively, also they can be varied within different Virtual Copies that all refer to the same TIFF / PSD file on disk. Further edits in PS to that file, would show back into all those LR image variations, automatically.
    When compatible PS and LR versions are used, there is the option to Edit in PS as Smart Object. This preserves the LR adjustments at that time, fully and nondestructively, as embedded settings that can be altered further if required, by pushing the Smart Object layer into ACR within the Photoshop environment. The updated image shows back into LR once re-saved. But any such method logically has to re-set the LR adjustments for the returned image, since otherwise those adjustments would be double-applied: once externally, and again by LR.
    With Raw only "edit a copy with LR adjustments" is available. But with other image types, including those previously externally edited from LR, you can also "Edit original" and "Edit a copy" - these options retain whatever LR adjustments are active, avoid baking those in to the external edit, and re-apply them once again, to the saved result of the external edit.

  • Problems opening multiple images as layers from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

    I'm having trouble bringing multiple photos from Lightroom 4 into Photoshop CS6 as layers. In LR4, I select the multiple photos I want to bring in, right click and from the pop-up menu select "Edit In", then "Open as Layers In Photoshop...". Photoshop CS6 then opens but the photos do not load in. I then get an error in LR4 about a minute later that says "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." However Photoshop just opened before I got the error. How do I fix this?

    Maybe a keyboard issue - shortcut key toggling multiple times. But, if you're sure your keyboard is fine, then try this:
    Reset LR preferences:Windows 7/ Vista: The preference setting file is Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs, in C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\. Rename/ move this file to a different location. LR will recreate preferences during next launch. See if this fixes the issue. The reason we're renaming or moving it is so that if it doesn't fix the error, you can move it back there so you don't have to recreate your in-application preferences again

  • Sending photos from Lightroom to Photoshop - covered with colours? Opening from Bridge they are fine

    Sending photos from Lightroom to Photoshop - covered with colours? Opening from Bridge they are fine.  Does anyone know how to set up the monitor from advanced to basic?  Someone said that might be the issue but I can't find any area in control panel where it has the option?

    You need to supply more information and screen shots of the problem would also be useful.

  • Help needed exporting from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

    I'm running LR 4.4 and Photoshop CS6 on an iMAC and I'm having issues with the edit in photoshop option.  Used to be able to right click and image, go to Edit In and choose Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop would open and the image would open.  I could then make my changes and save them and those changes would copy back over to Lightroom.  Now when I choose Edit In>Photoshop, Photoshop opens but the image never opens.  It would prompt saying Open Anyway or Render using Lightroom.  If I clicked Open Anyway, the image would NOT open in Photoshop.  If I clicked Render using Lightroom, the image WOULD open in Photoshop.  Well now I've upgraded my software and it's no longer prompting me to Render using Lightroom.  Can someone help either fix the root probelm or tell me how to get my raw files to Render using Lightroom?

    Same problem here on the PC side.

    First I send a raw file from LR to PH you do some changes and then send it back to LR as a tiff file. when you want to send it back to PS (so you can open it with changes i.e. layers) you get get 3 option 1: edit a copy with LR adjustments 2: edit copy 3: edit original.number 1 workers sed over file but with no layers.  2 & 3 I get a message “some of the application components are missing from the application directory Please reinstall the application.

  • Is it possible to send photos from LR 5 to Photoshop Elements 12 and directly get them opened in layers?

    I want to do Exposure Blending in Photoshop Elements 12 and I am wondering if it is possible to send photos (RAW) from LR 5 to Photoshop Elements 12 and get them directly opend in different layers?

    I don't use Photoshop Elements. Photoshop has an option to open images merging them to HDR. Does Elements have an HDR option? If it doesn't then I don't think there's any way to send the images layered.

  • Problem exporting from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

    When using the ctr E keyboard shortcut to edit in PS6 frpm LR4, multiple raw files are generated in PS CS6 and only stop creating when PS is forced closed.  Using the Drop Down menu in LR makes the transfer to PS6 no problem. Am I doing something wrong?

    Maybe a keyboard issue - shortcut key toggling multiple times. But, if you're sure your keyboard is fine, then try this:

  • Why Lightroom + Photoshop?  And what about Camera Raw ??

    Please tell me if I need Lightroom along with Photoshop?  I'm confused.  I use Photoshop every day for editing photos, etc.  I used Bridge daily as well.  And, often Camera Raw.  Do I still need Lightroom? 
    Thank you.

    The key word here is, "need". All of the Camera Raw capabilities are part of Lightroom. You can do the same raw processing with either program. The difference is in the user interface and workflow. Personally, I prefer Lightroom to Camera Raw. But I'm sure you will find that opinions vary. You can download the trial version of Lightroom and use it for 30 days and see how it integrates with Photoshop. Then maybe you can decide for yourself.  I suspect, however, since you are accustomed to using Photoshop and Camera Raw that you will probably feel that Lightroom just gets in the way. I didn't like Lightroom when I first started using it. But it is my favorite postprocessing software now.

  • Printing photos from Lightroom instead of Photoshop

    I'm having a terrible time. I don't understand what happens. For example, I want to print a 22 x 38" file and I've set it up correctly, I thought, but the the Epson 7890 keeps starting the print somewhere in the first 1/3 of the image and never at the front end. Any thoughts? We were having a terrible time figuring out how to print without the printer cutting off some of the photo in the middle -- we have futzed with the cells, we've looked up this online. We can't figure it out. Is Lightroom unable to print such large prints?
    linda

    Doug,
    There is a checkbox marked "Repeat One Photo per Page" in the right upper corner of the print module. If you uncheck this, you will end up with different photos per page, depending on what you have selected in the film strip.
    You might also want to watch the podcast "Creating A Vacation Photo Montage" from this page at The Digital Photography Connection. I - as a LR newby - find these videos very helpful in understanding how to use LR.

  • Can't send photo from iPhoto 9 to Photoshop Elements 10.0

    I just got a new iMac with Lion 10.7.2 and Photoshop Elements 10.0. In iPhoto 11. I set the preferences to use Photoshop Elements to edit photos. When I double click on a photo, Photoshop Elements Editor comes up, but there is no photo. There has been some discussion on this for earlier versions, but this is the latest available for both versions. I don't think I should have to go through hoops, trashing system files and stuff to get this to work.

    Thank you. It worked. And it also explains why I always got the Adobe Photoshop Elements welcome screen evey time I opened Photoshop from the Dock. I had the wrong icon in the doc as well.

  • Colour shift when exporting from lightroom 5 into Photoshop CS6

    Hi there,
    Having a really weird problem in Lightroom/Photoshop that no amount of Googling can seem to fix.
    When I grade an image for colour in lightroom, and then use the "edit in" function to send the file to Photoshop, the file is a completely different colour.
    Here's an example:
    I'm using SRGB for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and the "preserve embedded profiles" is selected for RGB, CMYK, and gray.
    If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. I don't want to have to use ProPhotoRGB, because most of my work is delivered online.
    Thanks in advance
    John

    I am also having this issue with the "Merge to HDR Pro" function in both LR5.2 and PSCC. When the image is viewed at 50% image size in the HDR app everything appears fine. However, once you start to zoom in the image begins to crop out segements starting on the right hand side. See the screen shots below:
    Image at 50%
    Image at 66%
    Image at 100%
