Metadata changed after Edit in Photoshop

Since I use Lighroom 3.2, I've been getting warnings that metadata have been changed externally after I edit a PSD document in Photoshop.
Here's what I do. I select a PSD file and press Ctrl+E (Edit in Photshop CS4), then select 'Edit original'. The image opens in CS4 as normal, I make some changes and press Ctrl+S (save). The changes are then visible in Lightroom. However in Grid View I get a warning sign (exclamation mark) telling me that an error writing metadata was occurred.
Whether I then select 'Import settings from disk' or 'Overwrite settings' does not seem to matter, the image will remain how I edited it in Photoshop. Still it is annoying getting this warning every time and I wonder if I do anything wrong. Anybody else had this, and is there a solution?
This warning sign only appears the first time I edit a file. If I re-edit the same file again later, there is no warning anymore.

Exact same thing happens to me as well, but I use CS5. I always choose the Overwrite Settings option. I have spent time adjusting in LR only to see that exclimation mark and hit the Import from Disk option and all of my adjustments go away, (go to history and undo if you hit that). This whole thing seems to be a bug they need to look into.

  • Metadat Change After Edit Original

    When I take say a TIFF file that has been imported into Lightroom and edit in PS by choosing "Edit Original" and than save the edit in PS, when I get back to Lightroom the image has a metadata error icon on it.  When I click on the icon it asks if it should apply the disk or Lightroom metadata.  I click on disk and all seems well.  But why is it doing this and is there a way to get it not to do so?  Is it correct to use the disk metadata?
    Thanks.
    Howard

    A couple of possiblities, not doubt more, but the following are the most obvious reasons for the badge appearing:
    1. Aryou applying metadata to file on import but not saving it back to the original file?
    2. Do you by any chance have the preference for Photoshop history log enabled? If it's enabled your Photoshop edits are recored to metadata (i.e. the default when On). You can check the status in the General panel of Photoshop Preferences.

  • Photo Icons Not Changing After Editing  - Help!

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to Lion and just like Snow Leopard the photo icons have white borders around them, which is fine. The problem is that even after editing the photos in both Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5, the icons don't change by removing the white border like they used to in Snow Leopard. If I turn off the show icon preview, the icons don't show the image of course, but still don't change after editing. I liked being able to tell which ones I had already edited and which ones I still needed to edit. Can anyone help me with this? Maybe I have some setting I need to change? I want the icon to change after editing by either showing the picture or showing the picture w/o border like it used to. Thanks!

    On your Mac disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • After editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4

    after editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4 can anyone help?

    In Library, set your sort order to Filename instead of Added order and see if the files show up, then. 
    How are you doing the Save in PS, using Save or Save As—one will show up, one won’t, I think, but I don’t remember which.

  • BUG: LR2.0 shows duplicate drive after edit in photoshop export

    Lightroom 2.0 shows a new duplicate drive after edit in photoshop export. file opens as DNG in photoshop, saves as PSD, and saves to the right folder on the hard drive. But lightroom now shows 2 "drive G"'s(that's my image vault drive letter) The folders are correct, the second drive only contains the edited psd files. display in explorer shows the file in the right location with the original DNG file. This is a random event not every edited file displays under the second drive. I have a total of 6 files (I had more, but I moved my image vault to a new drive and fixed the ten I had at that time.)
    Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1

    No I had to do it manually. When I had lightroom 2, here's what would happen.
    1. My external drive would show up, but all the photos would be marked as missing.
    2. I would then relocate the photos, which I had do do directory by directory. At this time I did not have all of them under a master directory.
    3. As I relocated them, the second drive would show up, which would contain all my directories as I located them.
    4. After I had relocated all the directories, I would delete the now empty duplicate - which has been the original - drive.
    5. After I shut down LR and restarted, the whole process would begin again.
    6. After I installed 2.1, I put all my directories under a parent directory, relocated the parent, it found all the files, automatically deleted the ghost duplicate, and I have not had the problem since.
    Hope all this makes sense,
    Good luck

  • IPhoto does not see any changes after editing a photo in Camera Raw

    Hello everyone ,
    I have some small problem with my iPhoto. I have set up Camer Raw in iPhoto as  External Editor, so when I click on edit in IPhoto,
    automatically opens my JPG in Camera Raw. After editing in Camera Raw I'm clicking on ,,Save image" then destination is ,,Save in same location" When I go back to iPhoto to the same photo, iPhoto does not show any changes I have made in Camera Raw. 
    What could it be or should I set something in iPhoto or in Camera Raw?
    Is there a chance in order to deal with this?
    I will be grateful for any assistance and
    I'm waiting for advice
    Dawid

    Any time a RAW file is edited in any 3rd party editor from within iPhoto it MUST be saved to the Desktop and imported as a new file. There's no other way to do it.  So the photos you've edited and saved are somewhere in the iPhoto Library folder system but cannot be recognized and used by iPhoto.
    The following is geared for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements but might have some info relevant for you:
    Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9 as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    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
    Click to view full size
    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 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    s  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:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • Rotation problem after editing in Photoshop

    I'm using Lightroom 1.3 and Photoshop CS3 with all the current updates. This problem was the same in LR1 and PS CS2.
    I have a mix of orientations in the JPEGs in my library - portrait and landscape. When the photos are imported into LR they appear correct. If I select a bunch of them, open them in PS (using Edit in Photoshop > Edit Originals), run a noise filter, save them, and then go back to LR, the previews for the portrait images are rotated so that all the previews show as landscape.
    The portrait images display correctly (except for the fact that they have been rotated) in the Library module - both grid and loupe view). In the Develop module, the image aspect is displayed portrait but the image is as a distorted landscape - the image is rotated and then distorted to fill the portrait oriented space. In the Print module, that same distorted image is fills the portrait oriented page. To be clear, instead of a portrait image appearing in the correct orientation on a portrait page preview, the image is rotated 90 degrees and then stretched to fill the page.
    There is a badge on the preview indicating that the metadata is out of sync with the file.
    If I rotate the image in LR, the badge goes away and the image appears portrait and undistorted in the Library module's grid and loupe views. The Develop module show the portrait image in the correct rotation, but has been stretched to a landscape aspect. The Print module shows that distorted image rotated to fit the portrait page.
    The only way to correct this is to "Read Metadata from file". This resets all the orientation information so that it displays correctly in LR, but all the tags and IPTC information gets erased.
    This is most of the reason why I was writing all the metadata into to files until now. I would write the metadata before editing in PS, do my PS edits, and then back in LR I'd "Read the Metadata" from the files to set everything correctly in LR. But of course now that I'm working with Leopard I get screwed if I do this because my files will crash the Finder.
    To top it all off, I've run into the "...cannot be saved because the file is in use" problem with some files I opened last night.
    Clearly none of these issues are being addressed in Adobe or Apple's updates. Is there a reasonable workaround that will let me:
    1. set metadata and tags and know that they won't either get lost or cause problems
    2. have image orientation respected and displayed correctly
    3. not crash any of the three critical applications on this computer - Lightroom, Photoshop, and Finder.

    I really appreciate your explaining this Jao.
    I'm going to explain how I got into this situation, in the hopes that it may prove useful to someone (I'm looking at you, Adobe) who wants to understand how the app is being used in the real world.
    So as not to break up the narrative, let me just say that I'd be happy (ecstatic, actually) if I could use Lightroom for my entire workflow, but the noise reduction filter in LR is just nowhere near as good as NoiseNinja. (A problem shared by LR, PS, and Aperture.) If I could run NN from inside LR, that would rock.
    Oh, and I shoot JPEG because I shoot live events where the lighting is usually crap and I need to be ready at any moment for something interesting to happen. Shooting RAW would be nice, but it's too slow and takes up way too much space.
    So here's what I do, (hopefully edited to make the reading non-tedious)
    1. import all photos from source (usually memory cards)
    The photos go onto a drive reserved for photos. I shoot events, so everything is organised by date-event. On import I set filenames (date - event name - time stamp.jpg) and keywords.
    2. cull
    They get marked "1" (irretrievably useless, to be deleted), "2" (keep just in case), "3" (decent shots), "4" (photos that I want to show to other people), or "5" (this is one of my best this year). Delete the "1"s.
    3. select 20-30 "picks"
    I create a folder within the event folder called "Picks" for these photos. Then I duplicate that folder as "Originals"
    In doing it this way I can protect myself if I need/want to change my cataloguing application. I'm on my fourth one at this point (Lightroom) and while I am generally finding that LR is meeting my needs more than anything else I've tried, I've been burned in the past (how many of us have regretted letting Aperture put all our photos into an incomprehensible database/folder hell?)
    The Picks/Originals structure makes sure that the originals never get touched (because it doesn't show up in LR) and I can quickly find the Picks.
    I -was- writing the metadata to the files so the ratings, keywords, and IPTC info was where it should be - attached to the photo. I've stopped doing this for the time being until this whole Finder-craching debacle is corrected.
    So why am I not using LR's built "Edit - Copy"/stacking function, which more or less duplicates my process?
    Well part of it was my own dumbness - Aperture made the edited copy/variation a Photoshop file, which ballooned my collections with staggering speed. I'm not sure if LR used to do the same thing, or I just made the assumption. My mistake.
    The other part of the problem is just the simplicity of having an Originals folder that is effectively ignored. Using LR will mix the "-edited" files in with originals, which is not as efficient or elegant a solution, but I'll give it a whirl.
    Thanks for your suggestion. If giving up my Picks/Original process solves the rotation problem then perhaps it's a fair trade.
    Still, it seems that the right hand is somehow oblivious to what the left hand is doing in the whole PS/LR thing, and that it ought not work that way.

  • Lightroom 5.5 not selecting images after editing in photoshop cs5

    I recently did the 5.5 update and now after cmd E editing in photoshop after I save and close a file it is auto imported into lightroom but not selected.  I am using filters but that is the only variable I could see affecting it.  It used to be done automatically and only takes me a second longer but I'm editing files hundreds at a time and every second counts.

    Most likely you need to change the Sort order of your images.  In Library - Grid view there is a tool bar at the bottom of the grid window. If the tool bar isn't visible, hit [ T ] to activate it. Change the sort order to Filename or Capture Time. It is probably set to Added Order.

    I lock my photos after editing is complete ...
    The beauty of non-destructive editing and snapshots (and, now, publish services) is that, just like negatives of old, your editing never has to be "complete."
    When I say "complete", I dont mean "finished forever", I mean "finished for now".
    I dont know how I do it, but sometimes I end up with AutoSync turned on by accident - last time it happened I hadnt even used AutoSync recently, it turned on by itself, upon restart after a crash I think. Even if my analysis is wrong and its entirely due to operator error - the result is the same: massive inadvertent edits until I detect the condition.
    Also, I make another mistake sometimes (I think its me): when fast typing, I end up normalizing exposure across a whole sh-load of photos... - still havent figured out how I do that since I dont even see a shortcut for that. Sometimes I catch it right away, sometimes not until much later.
    Another frequent mistake made by newbies a lot and seasoned users upon occasion: forgetting when edits will target multiple photos vs. just one.
    I could go on and on... - I love that I can tweak edit settings on a whim, non-destructively, but I dont love it when changes are made inadvertently. Locking does not keep you from editing, just reminds you that it had previously been considered "finished for now" - you can proceed to edit if you wish, or revert to locked state after viewing a detalied list of changes. "Save Metadata" has now become obsolete for me, replaced by "Snapshot & Lock". I dont know about you, but my workflow is:
    - After import, spend a good while editing, until done for now (at which point I snapshot & lock), then optionally at some point in the future:
    - Revisit for re-editing until done for now... If thats just one change: say Exposure +.1, and it was intended, I confirm intention then move on. If I plan to make a few more changes, I unlock until I'm done with it, then relock).
    To each their own, but ChangeManager has become my all-time favorite plugin. - Gives me a very warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that my photos will never be changed inadvertently - only intended changes... - I hope Adobe builds this into Lightroom proper in Lr4, but even if they dont, I'm covered. I never realized how much stress it was trying to be ultra-careful all of the time when using Lightroom, to not make inadvertent changes, until that stress was gone...

  • Develop history after edit in photoshop

    Hi,
    I had ro reinstall Lr3 and PSC5. after that, when I edit photo in PS and change back to Lr my develop history is blank. it starts when i change something for example I change "fill light +3" it's first registry in "develop history" I can undo it with ctrl+z only.
    I think before reinstall i had something like "Edited in photoshop" first registry.
    Can I get it back?
    Hope, someone will understand what I'm talking about.

    I think he's missing the first history step Jim, which indicates the image came back from Photoshop. I just tried it in LR3 and it seems to work for me from a raw (DNG) file.

  • Ratings loss after editing in Photoshop

    I have my LR3 RAW images rated a "1" star.  When I select one to edit in PHotoshop and save it, it shows back up in LR3 with no rating. This is costing me a lot of time to change my ratings to find the image and then put the rating back on.  This never used to happen in LR2. What can I do to change it? I have the box checked for automatic in the catalog settings but it still does not work.
    Any fixes to this? Getting frustrated with LR3 already.

    Nope, that doesn't work either. But thank you!

  • ANy solution to guost folders after editing in Photoshop?

    I think I have read only two threads on this problem... But amongst my friends and collaborators, 3 out of 5 experience the "ghost folder" problem when opening a file from LR into Photoshop.
    The problem goes as follow:
    a) In LR2, select RAW file to EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP
    b) edit in Photoshop, then save the file.
    c) going back into LR2, a "gost folder" now appears at the top of all folders in your Library. This is a replica folder name of the original folder where you selected your RAW file to edit in Photoshop. This Ghost Folder now contains your .PSD file you just saved. No other files.
    d) if you check into the original folder in your LR2, your PSD photo does not appear there.
    e) if you check on your hard disk directly, the PSD file appears in the correct folder.
    f) the only way I found to fix this is to:
    i) select original folder in LR2 library
    ii) synchronize folder (can take very long in LR2, especially if there are over 150 photos in the folder)
    iii) once folder has been synchronized, delete "ghost folder" in LR2 library.
    iv) stacking has to be done manually after that.
    This is an annoying process to fix this bug to say the least.
    Anyone knows if there is a real fix for this problem?

    Thanks Lennart.
    The fix you suggested does not fix my Ghost Folder problem.
    That said, I finally did find a fix for this problem:
    Here's the fix I found, which simply involves selecting Photoshop as an Additional External Editor:
    a) go in your LR2 preferences
    b) under the External Editor tab, under "additional external editor", click on the button CHOOSE and navigate to your Adobe Photoshop folder. Select Photoshop.exe .
    c) ignore LR2 warning that says Photoshop is already configured as your external editor.
    d) now, every time you wish to open a photo in PS from LR, right-click on the photo, select EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP.EXE instead of the first choice (edit in photoshop cs3).
    This method will now create a duplicate PSD file right away of your photo in the correct folder. No more Ghost Folder problem. OF course, this means that every time you open a photo in PS, you now have a PSD file in your folder (as opposed to LR2's feature which allows you (normally) to open a photo in PS, and it won't appear as a PSD in your folder until you actually save the file in PS). So we could say this "fix" behaves pretty much the same way LR1.x used to handle opening files in PS.

  • Refreshing thumbnails/view in iphoto after editing in photoshop

    I imported some images into iPhoto 08. The original images were then edited in Photoshop.
    Problem: Once I open up iPhoto to look th eimages, they are not updated with the changes unless I go to full size mode. how do i update the views like it does automatically if edited in iPhoto itself.
    Regards,
    Ashwath

    Ashwath:
    Here's how you should use Photoshop to edit photos in iPhoto:
    Editing photos in iPhoto with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
    1 - setup PS or PSE as theeditor of choice in iPhoto's General preferences.
    2 - open the photo to be edited, perform the desired edits and use the Save menu option.
    3 - if you get this window go ahead and save.
    4 - if your edit is one that has PS/PSE changing the format to its own, psd, the you'll get this window.
    5- choose the option you want and save as indicated in the screenshot.
    These methods will let iPhoto know an edit has taken place and the thumbnail will be updated to reflect the edit.
