Merging photos to Panorama from LR4 to CS4 ?

When merging photos (RAW files) from LR3 in CS4 then all the modifications done to the photos (files) are reconized in CS4 and the Panorama has the same appearance in respect of exposure and color parameters.
When merging photos (RAW files) from LR4 in CS4 then the modifications done to the photos in LR4 (files) are not reconized in CS4 and the Panorama has the appearance of the untreated photos, same as imported. CS4 does not recognice, implement the LR4 modifications !!
I need first to export the photos to an other format and then merge them so that the LR modifications are implemented
Why that suddenly ?? This is a step back

Probably because the version of ACR in CS4 is two versions behind the raw processing engine used by default in LR4? So, I assume you're using PV2012 in LR4 (e.g. with the new basic panel sliders), but ACR 5.7 can only recognise PV2003 and PV2010, and is therefore not able to correctly render the images as per your develop settings. (If you're not using PV2012 in LR4 however then it's a bit of a mystery...)
As you've discovered, the only way around this is to first use LR4 to render the images to TIFF/PSD, and then subsequently load them into CS4 for panorama stitching. The alternative would be to use PV2003/2010 for the raw images you wish to stitch together, but that would mean missing out on the superior PV2012 rendering.
If you upgrade to CS6 this will cease to be an issue.

  • Merge to HDR Pro from LR4

    I am using LR4 and edit/merge to HDR Pro in CS5. The images appear in CS5 as the processing is going on but then it just terminates and the images disappear from CS5.  This is happening on multiple sets of images not just one set.  I don't know if this is part of the problem but I also get a message as the process is starting on LR that I may need Camera Raw Version 7 but I can't find that anywhere.  Any idea what's going on?
    Thanks

    Hi Bill,
    Answers to your questions beow ...
    The one thing that I did not see was your HDD setup, and especially how you have your HDD's allocated, with such things as Scratch Disks, etc. That might be useful knowledge.
    -  Just use a single 1TB hard disk, 516GB used and 398GB free.
    With Win7-64, the 8GB RAM is a bit light, as Win7-64 is a RAM hog, and Scratch Disks will most likely come into play, and especially with HDR.
    - Can't do much about that as 8GB is the MAX on the motherboard. But again don't have any problems in any other areas and if I do Tone Mapping from the Image -> Adjustments -> HDR Tone Mapping ... menu there aren't any issues.
    Now, if you do NOT switch out of PS, while doing an HDR Merge, does it then complete, i.e. is it only when it loses focus, that it hangs?
    - Yes, as long as I don't switch out at all.
    What are your PS Memory and Cache settings?
    - Available RAM 7230, Let Photoshop Use: 4338 (60%) (This is the default setting Photoshop chose)
    - Cache Settings, again default: Cache Levels: 4, Cache Tile Size: 1024K.
    Do you have any active-scanning anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-anything running?
    - Yes, Microsoft Security Essentials
    Is Windows Indexing ON - though with Win7-64, it has become much less of a problem, than with older OS's?
    - Yes Indexing is on, makes no difference if I turn it off.
    What are the Image Size of the HDR Images?
    - As they are from Canon 5D Mk II (ProPhoto RBG, 16 bit, 5616 x 3744 (~21MP) and 300 bit/in) they will open anywhere up to 120MB in TIFF or PSD.
    I am not sure but it seems a little similar to the issue with the CA sliders in LR4 Beta when we reverted back to Process 2010 after upgrading to PV2012 unless there is a memory leak somewhere. Again if I use NIK Software HDR Efex pro I don't seem to have any of these issue - (just aligment and ghosting ).
    Obviously I have a work around by simply not leaving the HDR Merge window before completing the process, just inconvenient.
    Regards, Don

  • CS5 Hangs when editing photo from LR4

    Group - I just got off the phone with Adobe support and they indicated this problem is a known problem in LR4 and suggested getting help from the experts at Adobe Labs.
    I was part of the LR4 beta test and never experienced this before.
    The problem occurs when I try to edit a photo in CS5 from LR4 (using the 'edit in' link) on a Mac.
    CS5 opens and then just hangs (my mac indicates that CS5 is not responding) and I have to use 'Force Quit.'
    Are there any work-arounds.  The Adobe help center indicated that the 4.1 beta may not have this problem, but they couldn't recommend it.
    I tried accessing CS5 from Bridge and that produced the same 'hang' problem.
    Thanks for your help.
    Chris

    Wahooo!  I think I found the problem with the hang on choosing submenus.  Thanks Chris and Jeffrey for you rapid responses on this issue.
    The source of the slow down is a great little utility of OS X called "RightZoom" by blazingtools.   It's a cool app that lets intercepts clicks in application and folder windows on the expand button and opens the window corner to corner of the screen.  It works well but sometimes does not play nice with application interfaces.  I actually need a better brain cause I had an issue related with Illustrator CS4 and selecting with the direct selection tool.
    There are two options to correct the delay:
    1.  Disable Right Zoom.  - you can kill the task using activity monitor, then go to your System Prefs > Accounts > Log in items and remove RightZoom from the list.
    2. You can add Photoshop to the RightZoom application exceptions list.  Kill RightZoom, find the RightZoom app in your applications folder and hold the Command key down, then double click to launch which will open the configuration window.  To add an application to the list of exceptions, it has to be running.  So Launch Photoshop if it is not running and then you will see it as an option to Except.
    I am likely just behind the times on the second issue mentioned, which is that the keystroke shortcuts listed in submenus don't have qualifier keys.  Like "shift" + B to toggle through the brush options, for example.
    Thanks, James.

  • Why wont Photoshop Elements 11 merge photos from Lightroom 4?

    I'm having problems with automatically merging photos in Photoshop Elements 11 from Lightroom 4. I do my editing in LR4 and when I wish to merge photos (either into a pnaorama or HDR image) all that happens is that PSE11 opens, nothing else. I go through the 'Edit in..' option and click on the desirep option. I can send individual images to edit in PSE11 bun not merge.
    I am running windows 8. I have set the external editing software to PSE11. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the software. But still I'm having no luck with the programs working together and doing what I ask of them.  Why is this?

    Yes you can open multiple images into PSE from LR. But actually there is no great advantage in using Lightroom for Photomerge as the export copies are already created in the Library but the saved copy will be the merged version which LR will know nothing about, and which would need to be imported to the library separately.
    I would personally start from Expert Mode in PSE11 and then use:
    File >> Open
    Navigate directly to the folder and select the images you want and click open.
    If they are raw files they will open up in camera raw and will already have the light room adjustments included, if the metadata has been saved to file in Lightroom.
    Click select all (top left) and then ensure the image depth is set to 8 bits using the drop down menu at the bottom of the dialog. Then click the open images button (bottom right) to send them all into PSE.

  • Why is panorama merged photo not saving correctly?

    Why would my panorama merged photo show an exclamation point when saved? It showed the photo merged in the workspace but wouldn't save the picture.

    The collage maker has a few bugs. I can’t even use mine as I get an error message as soon as I select any size image. Also there is a very restricted choice of templates. I’m on Windows so you experience is possibly different.
    You can do it manually in Full Photo Edit

  • Want to open Kodak Photo CD files (.PCD) in Photoshop CS5.  In CS4 i copied file "Photo CD.8BI"  from an older version into the File Format folder.  This does not work with CS5.  Any fix?

    I have several old Kodak Photo CD with PCD image files.  I am now using Photoshop CS5.  Some years ago while using Photoshop CS4 I copied a file:  "Photo CD.8BI" from an older, CS2, version to the Plug-ins/File Format folder of CS4.  This does not appear to work with CS5.  Any fix?

    It can be made to work, but you have to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5, and as I recall there's an additional DLL called pcdlib32.dll that's needed from the old installation.

  • Republish to Flickr from LR4 posts as new photos instead of updates them (only one set, not all)

    I have a single set on Flickr that I cannot republish updates to from LR4 - republishing a modified photo posts it as a new photo.  All other sets seem to work fine.  I use the "built-in" Flickr plugin and LR4.3 with a Flickr Pro account.  This issue started with LR4.2 when I got my Nikon D800.  I've tried just about everything I can think of and have been searching for any similar problems for months and decided to finally ask for help myself.
    Back in October I created a set of an event, and published the photos to Flickr without issue.  A week later I wanted to republish a few photos and noticed that they instead published to the set as new.  If I mark to republish, yet another copy is posted as new.  After some testing, this is only for images in this one particular set - any other images in any other set update their existing version as expected.
    After a while I began to wonder if the machine tag I added was causing it (active:event=) so I removed the tag from the image on both sides and tried to republish again with the same results.
    Naturally I delete the new copy of the image from Flickr which then dissassociates the LR photo with anything on Flickr.  I found another (cludgy) plugin which can associate photos in LR with photos on Flickr and that fixes the link between the two.  But again, republish from LR and a new copy shows up.
    Any ideas?  This has been driving me nuts.  I haven't found any special permissions or settings on the Flickr set or within LR which would explain why this one set is affected and no others.  I don't want to delete the set on Flickr and lose the history.  I'm trying to avoid having to manually update the images on Flickr where I would also have to manually update the titles, etc.

    This has happened for LR4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and now LR5.  The seemingly random nature of this bug is irratating.  Last week while still on LR4.4 I published a photo, changed it, and was able to republish it without issue.  Today on LR5 I published a set and went to republish a handful of photos only for them to be added as new photos to the set.  LR5 indicated that they were photos to republish and not new ones to the set.

  • How do I merge photos from one album to another on my iPad

    How do I merge photos from one album to another.  How do I delete, remove albums.

    If they are albums that you've synced from your computer then they are removed by re-connecting to your computer's iTunes, de-selecting them on the Photos tab, and re-syncing - albums and photos that you've synced can't be deleted (and albums can't be merged) directly on the iPad.
    If they are albums that you've created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete them on the iPad via the Edit button at the top left of the album selection screen. You can also copy more photos into (via the Edit button when within an album), and delete photos from, those albums.

  • Web Photo Gallery Missing from Photoshop CS4

    Has anyone else found this to be valuable feature that is no longer available? We used this feature regularly as a method for proofing our customers and I have found that the one that is included in Bridge is sorely lacking from the Photoshop version.
    Has anyone found a solution or something that works similarly that is can be customized as deeply?

    Just to let you know that I followed the instructions in the PDF. Here they are sightly re-edited by me:
    To retore Web Photo Gallery functionality:
    Close Photoshop and use Explorer to view the extra stuff on the CS4 install DVD.
    Here's what you need to copy from the Photoshop CS4 install disk and where it goes:
    1. copy "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Plug-ins 32-bit\Automate\WebContactSheetII" plug-in
    to the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Automate" folder
    (note there's a 64bit version in the Plug-ins 64-bit folder if that's what you're using)
    in my case it goes into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\"
    2. copy "Goodies\Presets\Web Photo Gallery" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets" folder
    I then have "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Web Photo Gallery\"
    (This is the part that adds the default templates to choose from)
    To add functionality to Bridge (xp and vista destination folders are a bit different):
    3A (for Windows XP)
    copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
    copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
    into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\
    3B (for Vista)
    copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop/"
    copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
    into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
    As you can see there's a bit of surgery to do. But if you're careful everything will work as before.
    Hope this somewhat re-written 'how to" helps.

  • Best way to merge photos from different macs

    What is the best way to merge photo libraries from different macs onto one mac?

    The only way to merge Libraries - versions, metadata etc - is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    Other than that you will need to export from one Library to the Finder and then import to the other. This won’t get all the Metadata (for instance, Faces) and won't get the Versions either.

  • Merge to panorama from Lightroom to PS CS6 "could not be started"

    I'm sure someone else has had this issue - but I've been searching for two days without finding it! I use LR 5.6 (5.7 as of 1 hour ago). I have PS CS5.1. I've routinely merged to panorama from Lightroom with no issues using CS5. I can upgrade to CS6 for $200 and I was led to believe the camera raw was contemporary (rather than giving me the "export anyway" dialog), the merge algorithm was better and the content-aware fill had been improved. As this really the only thing I us PS for (mostly), I thought I'd try the trial version and see if I could evaluate side-by-side.
    When I "merge to panorama" now in LR, CS6 opens, makes me click the obligatory trail dialog, then just sits there... Eventually, LR comes up with the error that CS6 could not be launched (even though it does launch). I tried opening the DNG files in bridge and I could merge them... Did not notice an improvement in the content-aware fill - but I'd like to merge the same series on my laptop (with CS5) and desktop (with CS6) and give it a fair comparison. What could I be doing wrong??? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry. Are you saying that resetting Preferences did not work, or that you don't want to try it?
    Are you asking the same question in the Lightroom forum?
    This link refers to Bridge, but it covers CC scripting problems.  I was going to ask if using CC 2013 helped, although I suspect that wherever you initiate the script from will default to the most recent version of Photoshop.  So you are probably going to need to uninstall and reinstall.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way of merging photos into one event on ipad mini without syncing from PC ?

    is there a way of merging photos into one event on ipad mini without syncing from PC ?

    Unfortunately cutting and pasting doesn't work.  The margins are so different for each document as the first document is a standard report with the text centered on the page while the second document is in the form of a letter that is off center toward the right side of the page.  Cutting and pasting either one into the other (I've tried both ways) alters both documents in a way that causes the images, quotes, etc that are interspersed throughout each of them to show up in the wrong place (and they cannot be moved to the correct location due to the differences in margin. 
    They really need to simply be placed end to end rather than trying to combine them into one.  This is apparently a simple thing with Pages on the Mac itself but it does not appear to be as simple with the iPad app.  Thanks anyway for your help.

  • Raw image support from LR4.3 to CS4

    I upgraded to LR4.3 and CS4.  When I open a raw image in CS4 from LR4.3, the image quality is horrible.  A message appeared that I need camera raw plugin 7.3, however, this is not available for CS4.  Is there a solution to this problem or do I need to upgrade to CS6?

    You updated but I'll post the following for anyone else who has the same question in future.
    LR 4.3 is equivalent to Camera Raw 7.3. If LR and Ps aren't communicating well, you can export an image file from LR then open that into Ps. For 16-bit, choose TIFF with ZIP compression unless you don't mind an enormous file. 16-bit PSD is another option but its Background layer has no compression and will be the same huge size as an uncompressed TIFF.
