No new PSD file in Lightroom after Edit in Photoshop

As usual, I send a NEF from LR 5.6 to Photoshop CC2014 (ProPhoto RGB) but a new PSD shows up in LR after saving/closing in PS? (Mac)

Lightroom works in a completely different way than Photoshop or other pixel editing programs. In order for you to edit that PSD file has to be imported into the Lightroom catalog. It might be to your advantage to just use Photoshop, if you have it, because understanding how Lightroom works is essential in order for you to be effective.
If the PSD file has a text layer, you will not be able to access It separately using Lightroom. Lightroom does not use layers, and you cannot work with text like you do in Photoshop. I just believe, based on what you have told us, that Lightroom is probably not a good choice for this particular project.

  • Returning images to Lightroom after edit in Photoshop?

    Hello,
    When I export a raw file from LR to Photoshop CS2, as a 16bit Prophoto tiff, it opens with LR's develop settings applied. However, after I have saved the image in Photoshop, when I close the file and revert back to the LR Library the image arrives back in LR with a completely different exposure and histogram? Is this normal? What has happened to the development settings that were applied in LR? My Photoshop working space is Prophoto 16bit.
    Thank you,
    J.

    Thanks folks. John, I was using 'Edit in CS' not the 'Export' button. Sorry I didn't make that clear. My problem was that after I closed the photoshopped file LR was applying an "auto tone adjustment" to the new image as soon as it popped up in the LR Library. The adjusted image looked terrible and I had to readjust the develop settings in Lightroom for a second time.
    At Jao's suggestion I went into LR's Preferences/Presets and unchecked the 'Apply Auto Tone Adjustments' box.
    Works just fine now. :o)

  • Problems with photoshop psd files in Lightroom 2

    I've been using Photoshop with raw and jpeg images for years, until just recently i started learning Lightroom 2 by watching the Kelby Training series online. I have learned a ton, but there are some things that i am just not able to figure out and for some reason they have not addressed my issues on Kelby.com.
    Here is my list:
    1. When i edit my images in lightroom and then click on a specific image to edit it in photoshop because it needs something removed for example, lightroom does not do what Matt Kloskowski on Kelby says lightroom should do. It does not open up a box asking how i want to edit the image. supposedly a box listing these three things should appear: edit a copy with lightroom adjustments, edit a copy, edit the original. I already changed my preferences so that images would be taken into photoshop as PSD files with prophotoRGB, like he said to do. Instead of opening up this box, it just opens the image in photoshop. When i save the image after editing it, it does save it  as a _edit-psd, but when i close the image and go back into lightroom, the psd file does not show up. supposedly, the psd file should be stacked right next to the original image and it is not there. when i look at the images in the finder, it shows the psd file.
    is there another setting that i need to change?
    2. when i want to covert my nef raw files to jpeg for printing and burning dvds for clients, what is the best way to do this? i've done it by exporting to jpeg. but why, when i jpeg, does lightroom not use the jpeg images? for example, when i run a slideshow of a collection of images, it uses the lightroom edited nef files, PLUS, since LR does not show the psd files, the changes i made on photoshop do not show up on the slideshow either! it seems to use the psd files when converting to jpeg, so if i could just figure out a way to use the jpeg images for the slideshow all the edits should be there.do i need to import the jpeg files back into LR as a new collection?
    3. when i convert to jpeg using photoshop, there are xmp files. why are there no xmp files with the original images when LR is used? where is all the information that belongs with the RAW images?
    ok. i actually have a ton more questions, but i'll start with these for now.
    Thank you so much!

    Check the destination you have specified in the Import panel.  It needs to point to a location that Lightroom can read and more important write files to.  Usually the error message (in English) says “files cannot be read” and this really means that LR was unable to copy the files to the destination so then when it tried to import from that destination not file were found to read.

  • CS3 wont open .psd files from Lightroom

        I am working on a Mac in Lightroom 2.6, when I use the keyboard shortcut for open or toggle a file to open in CS3, the menus open alongside of the CS3 window but the images itself is not opening.  I attempted to use the selection edit in CS3 without success also.  I am able to use the selection edit in Photoshop Elements and the image opens in Photoshop Elements and I am unable to get the files/images to open in CS3.  I might have struck an errant key at some time.  I am about to pull what little hair I have left out.  If anyone has the cure or remedy, it will save me from being bald thanks

    Right-click on the psd in LR and select 'Edit in PHotoshop'.That will open it in Photoshop with its current filename or a new filename with Edit added to the end, with or without any LR edits you may have added to it.

  • Lightroom 5.6 Error: The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched...

    I upgraded to lightroom 5.6 recently and i am using photoshop cs 6.
    My OS is windows 8 on i5 4670 with R280X gfx card 16gb ram
    After editing a photo with lightroom , when I right click to edit in photoshop, immediately photoshop launch but the image isnt imported to photoshop.
    After like 30sec  an error message pop out saying "The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC could not be launched".
    After another 10sec then the photo appear in photoshop... this is getting irritating to me.
    if i select to just open the original or a copy of the original it works fine. It only happens when I try to open it with lightroom changes.
    I had uninstall/reinstall both photoshop and lightroom as well as remove all the plugins i had, but the problem doesnt go away.
    Another issue with lightroom 5.6 is the the adjustment brush is slow and sluggish, it is so unusable when I zoom in to use the adjustment brush.
    I didnt had that issue before i upgraded. OMG
    anyone have solution to my problem ?

    I upgraded to the latest version of ps cc 2014 , problem resolved.
    look like cs6 i outdated or something

  • Can't save files back to iPhoto after editing in Photoshop Elements

    Hi
    I am tring to edit pictures in Photoshop Elements 2.0. Here are the Steps i am doing
    1. Open iPhoto 6.0.4
    2. Go to the picture in the slideshow that i am trying to edit
    3. Double click the picture to open in an external editor (Photoshop Elements 2.0)
    4. Make my changes in PS
    5. Try to save file. Save as a JPG I am trying to replace the original file (it is in the modifiled folder)
    -- here is the problem
    Can not replace the file--I get the message, "you do not have the right privileges."
    So I check the permissions on the file. The original jpg file is a read only file, so I change it.
    However I get the same error message.
    I don't understand. Any help would be greatly appriceated. This is taking all the fun out of editing my images.
    Thanks for your help.

    ccorbly:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By your statement I take it you've setup PSE in iPhoto's preferences as the editor of choice when you double click on a thumbnail, right? That's how it should be.
    iPhoto puts the edited version of the file in a separate folder titled Modified. So you don't want to try to force save to the same location as the original file. If you opened the file in PSE as you've stated (this indicated that you've set up iPhoto's preferences to use PSE when you double click on a thumbnail or photo) all you have to do is do a Save as long as the extension has not been changed to .psd. If PSE wants to use that extension then you need to either do a Save As to the desktop and import the new .psd file
    OR f
    1 - flatten the image
    2 - do a normal Save
    3 - in the next window select jpg
    4 - hit Save
    5 - select Replace.
    6 - select quality and the format options and hit the OK button.
    If you look close you'll see that you're in the Modified folder of the Library and not the Originals folder.
    Now if that's what you're doing and you still get the permissions thing, try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop cc is turning my raw files into jpg after editing

    photoshop is turning my raw files into jpg after editing with out flatten the layers instead of psd files. when I go to save they are jpg. This started 2 days ago - no problems before that

    How are you doing the save?  Just choosing File - Save?
    Photoshop remembers the last "master file" format you saved something in.  If the current document is capable of being saved in that format, it will default to that format for the next save.
    What happens if you do the following:
    1.  Open your raw file, and edit it.
    2.  File - Save As, and in the Save as type field choose Photoshop (*.PSD;*.PDD).
    3.  Complete the save operation.
    I'm betting that will result in your having saved a PSD format file.
    In summary, change your habit to use File - Save As to save your master document and you can't go wrong.

  • How to open PSD files from lightroom

    What's the easiest way to open a photo that was edited in LR and then passed to PS-CS3 and saved back to LR as a PSD. I can view the PSD photo in LR but then what's the quickest way to reopen it in PS to let's say make some more changes? Thanks.

    Right-click on the psd in LR and select 'Edit in PHotoshop'.That will open it in Photoshop with its current filename or a new filename with Edit added to the end, with or without any LR edits you may have added to it.

  • 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.)

    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

  • After editing in Photoshop, unable to save

    I'm on a Mac, using LR 3.2 and Photoshop CS4. My image files are on a network drive. Catalog of course is local (since we can't work with networked catalogs).
    If I right-click a PSD (not raw file) in Lighroom and "Edit in Photoshop", then edit, when I'm done editing and hit "Save" I get an error message that the file is open/in use by another application. My only option appears to be to "save as" a new file in Photoshop...THEN import that new file in LR...THEN add it to the collection I was working from...THEN delete the old PSD from the collection...THEN delete the old PSD from the drive - since I don't really want to save a bunch of incremental PSDs (that's what layers in Photoshop are for).
    I saw a couple of older posts here about the same problem, with older versions of LR. At least one case the user was on a PC, not a Mac.
    Is this because I'm working with files on a network volume? Any workarounds?
    Man it's irritating...
    - Bob

    Yep - it works locally.
    I had similar problems back when using Expression Media/iView MediaPro - wouldn't let me delete files from the network drive. Perhaps it's related to when I try to delete files in the finder, and get a "this can't be undone" warning.
    Well, I got all excited about the idea of launching Photoshop edits from within LR, but I guess I'll go back to my "old" way, which was to export, then go to Photoshop and open the exported file, and work on it. I think if LR doesn't think it's currently managing the file somehow, it won't try to hold onto it and so Photoshop can save without running into problems.
    Adobe - maybe this can be addressed?

  • Editing PSD file in Lightroom?

    I'm creating a PSD file for a client so she can edit the text in the document herself. I thought I read somewhere that PSD files can be edited in LR. I've never used LR, but just downloaded it to take a test drive, but can't figure out how to edit the document. Any tips?
