No image in lightroom 4.1

I was wrong about the message that i encountered. It said apple photostream has stopped working correctly and that it will close the program. after it closed, lightroom 4.1 would no longer display image after restarting. when i try to open a file, it says it is not available, though the catalog shows 176 images available. i tried downloading 4.1 again but problem still exists. anyone have any suggestions?

ACR operates as a plugin within Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and does not operate on its own.
Lightroom is a separate software program which incorporates the ACR conversion processes for working with raw files. It does not require your having Photoshop installed on your computer.
I think Adobe has created a lot of the confusion in re naming the program "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom" from the earlier name of "Adobe Lightroom" since it is not a part of Photoshop.

Photoshop CS-6 does not open images from Lightroom 5

I do have Photoshop CS-6 and Lightroom 5. Nearly all images were created in a Windows 7 (64 bit) environment. I have moved platforms to MAC. I have moved all images and the Catalog. I have changed platform to MAC. I am now using MAC OS-X (10.9.1).
I am able to see all images in Lightroom, I am able to modify all images in Lightroom. I can export the images to Jpeg (for example) from Lightroom. I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
First time I have tried to open an Image from Lightroom (hand over) Photoshop opens, but does not show any picture and no error message. But when I then look to recently opened files, the image is in the list. When I do click on this, Photoshop shows and error message: "the datamodule can not handle the file format" (which is either RAW or jpeg).
Another expirience is, when I try to open directly from Photoshop any other image, Photoshop ignores the XMP and opens the original file without any modification.

That's normal if the raw files were originally edited in Lightroom. Lightroom stores all edits in the catalog, not the xmp sidecar. You can set Lightroom to write to xmp as well, but that slows it down a little and so it's off by default. The Lightroom shortcut ctrl/cmd+S will also save to xmp.

That's related to the above, and also normal if you go the other way - edit in ACR and then move to Lightroom. It'll then be in xmp, but not the Lightroom catalog.
As for the missing on-screen image, that's a common video driver bug (although I suppose other causes are possible). For Windows you can download updated drivers directly from the manufacturer's website, but that's not possible with Mac. You'll have to wait for Apple to fix it.

How do I get my catalog of images on lightroom 2 when it says assertion failed?

RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?

RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?

Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Photoshop cc 2014 will not open images from Lightroom

I have just upgraded Photoshop and Lightroom through the creative cloud,and now when i take an image from Lightroom to Photoshop,Photoshop opens but the image does not appear.I have Photoshop cc 2014 as the default editor.I am able to open the image in any of the plug ins i have installed e.g Topaz Labs.

This has been reported quite a lot lately. SSprengel, have you actually seen an uninstall and reinstall correct the link between Lightroom and Photoshop CC (2014)? If so, I'll start advising people to do so. I hadn't run across anyone claiming to have discovered a solution to the problem yet.

How do I resize an image in Lightroom?

Hi everyone, was wondering if someone can help me as am trying to resize and image in lightroom and cannot find where to do it.. please help. thanks alexandra

The Alamy upsizing is nonsense but you can actually use Lightroom export. You only have to use differnet numbers (presets) for different aspect ratios. These are the rough numbers for the aspect ratios I use:
Assuming they want 16x2^20 (16.777.216) pixels rather than 16x10^6 (16.000.000) pixels, the image dimension to upsize with LR are the following:
Aspect ratio 2:3 (portrait or landscape)
~ 5017 x 5017 pixels
Aspect ratio 1:1 (square)
~ 4096 x 4096 pixels
Aspect ratio 16:9 (portrait or landscape)
~ 5462 x 5462 pixels
Aspect ratio 4:3 (portrait or landscape)
~ 4730 x 4730 pixels
You can store those in presets, use sort to sort the images by aspect ratio and export one set after the other with different presets.

When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files or versions should I have in my database of images?

When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files should I have in my Library? I start with a RAW file or a tiff scan from film. I label that "A" as the archived file. I make a virtual copy to work on in the Develop module. When I am done, I save a file as a Print file with dimensions of the print. Since Lightroom is non-destructive, do I need to save any other versions? For instance, in Photoshop since the crop is destructive,
I edit an uncropped version and do the crop when I am working on the Print version. What should I have for the most flexibility over time in Lightroom?
I use Lightroom CC on a IMAC desktop. My photos are on a separate hard drive and are also backed up offline. Im running OSX10.9.4.

You don't need to make a virtual copy before you edit the photo (this is optional, but most people don't bother as its extra work with little or no benefit). EXCEPTION: If you are doing multiple crops of the image, you would need virtual copies in that case, created after all other editing is completed.
You can't "save" from Lightroom, you can "export". (It's a terminology thing) You would need to export a photo at the desired dimensions for printing, but there's no need to retain this exported photo, you can consider it temporary and delete it once the print has been made, knowing that you can always re-create it exactly from Lightroom if you need it.
So to answer the question in your title, all you need to retain on your hard disk is your original image (and in the EXCEPTION case where you have multiple crops of the image, you would retain the multiple virtual copies in Lightroom).

Question?
I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.

Hello,
if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
1. Backup your catalog first
2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files".

CS 5 won't open images from Lightroom 3

Hi,
I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3, and I've been using Lightroom 3 since it came out. The installation went fine. After working on some images in Lightroom 3.3, I tried to open them in CS5 12.02, and strange things started to happen. Some times the images open, some times they don't. This applies to NEFs, TIFFs, and PSDs. Sometimes when I try to open an image from my Lightroom catalog, CS5 mysteriously opens small jpegs of photos that are not even in my catalog. In fact, they are images I don't even recognize and did not even know were on my computer.
I called Adobe Customer Support. They were helpful, and they had me set CS5 as my external editor as well as being the primary editor. They also helped me reset my preferences for both Lightroom and CS5. This seemed to work, but when I opened Lightroom and CS5 the next day, the problem started happening again, even when I open images in CS5 using the second external editor.
I spent over and hour on the phone with Customer Support the first time, and I'm trying to get help elsewhere before I call again.
I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8 with 4 GB of RAM.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
Why does the image size change?
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
Help!...Please?

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

Missing all images in Lightroom (deleted images showing)

Working in Lightroom and it was extremely slow.
I did a "force quit" (on my Mac) on Lightroom 2 (Guessing that wasn't the thing to do) All my current images in Lightroom are gone and and old version with photos that I've permanently deleted showed up...though there is a message on each photos that says that the image is "offline or missing" (which makes sense because they've long been deleted).
Any suggestions or ways to look for my current photos.
(Fortunately current images are backed up on my hard drive)
Thanks!

It sounds as if your LR is using an old catalog(ue). It's unlikely that you've lost your images, you are just seing the old images previews that are part of an old catalog(ue). Can you not find the later catalog(ue) and open that or, if not, restore from a LR backup.
