Not all selected images open in photoshop

I have lightroom 3 and cs5. When I select images from lightroom and open in photoshop sometimes not all of the selected images open. It might miss a random image or 2 or 3. All the images are clearly highlighted to open and lightroom confirms the correct amount with "selected images". Obviously driving me mad as I have to go back and try to figure out which image is missing from say 20 or 30 images.
Any ideas greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have the same exact problem as the OP.
Also running OS X 10.6.4. and have 12Gb RAM. I also usually open ~50 images at a time to edit in PS CS5 and there are always a random ~5 that don't open. I tried opening a smaller number of files (~25) and still I get about 5 not showing up.
I don't think this has to do with bottlenecks, looks more like a bug. The files that won't open, are for some reason scattered, not for example the last 5 chosen or last 5 in the grid. I rebuilt and optimised the cat. several times, and always work with just LR3 and PS CS5 running, so no other progs are hogging the system resources.
I'm finding LR3 very frustrating and despite the new features are great, it is more buggy and unpredictable than LR2.
Are you all using the latest 3.2 RC? There was a bug in LR3 where files with an '&' in the file/foldername (or a few other characters) would not open in Photoshop. That has been cured in 3.2RC.

  • Metadata changes not applied to all selected images

    I am having 2 problems.
    When I am in lightroom's library (3.5), I would like to change the time of capture for multiple photos, and apply keywords.
    However, when I perform either of those actions, the changes are only applied to the image shown in the "more brightly highlighted" image, not all that are selected.
    Is there a setting I am missing?  I just cannot seem to figure out why this is not working.
    Also, I aplogize if my searching skills are weak and this has been covered already.  I did attempt to see if this question has been answered before posting.
    Thanks.

    You need to be in Grid view to apply metadata to all selected images, otherwise LR will only apply it to the image shown in the main area. Alternatively, you can swith on AutoSync in Library.

  • Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD

    Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD card on my IMac . My Camera is a Canon 650D it will open them on my pc copy. My Lightroom 4 on my IMac will also import from an sd card. Help please.

    Why not? What happens? If there is an error message, please quote it in its entirety, word-for-word, verbatim.

  • Copying and pasting adjustments.  When I copy the adjustments of an image, I thought I could then select several images and batch paste the adjustments to all selected images. But instead it's only pasting to the first photo of the selection. What am I do

    Copying and pasting adjustments.  When I copy the adjustments of an image, I thought I could then select several images and batch paste the adjustments to all selected images. But instead it's only pasting to the first photo of the selected. What am I doing wrong?

    Copy and Paste develop settings in Develop mode on multiple photos on the film strip works for me, even with Auto-Sync turned off.  Lr5.6 OSx 10.8.5

  • Not all selected files are actually opened

    Have previously posted on the issue with selecting multiple files in Finder, then opening in Preview... to have not all the files actually open. I've now discovered that this is happening in Photoshop CS3 as well. I just selected four files in Finder and Open with > them in Photoshop CS3. Only one opened. I've repeated this behavior.
    None of these were saved from the Internet. All are image files which were emailed to me, and saved out from Mail.
    Is it a quarantine issue?
    How the heck do I turn off this quarantine P.O.S. if that's what's causing this. At the moment, I've got a brand-new $2600 paperweight.

    Try selecting several PDFs. Double click on one of the selected ones, or Right click > Open With > Preview.app. What happens? I'm not getting the issue you are.
    However, Adobe has stated that CS3 is not fully compatible with Snow Leopard, so this might just be a compatibility quirk for the Photoshop. I don't know what you're doing with Preview.
    Why would you think it's a "quarantine issue"?

  • Why do some images open in Photoshop CS5  and others not when I'm using Edit With command in InDesign

    Sometimes when I try to edit images from within InDesign Photoshop says it cannot open because of a problem. I noticed that it's not with every image. But I cannot see why. Some are my own images from iPhoto, some are from the morgue files. Anyone?

  • Problems with impromptu slideshow in lightroom 5, functions such as flagging, rating not applying to all selected images?

    I'm using windows lightroom 5 and have just started to learn the programme.  I am using adobe photoshop lightroom 5 classroom in a book which is an official training workbook from Adobe so you'd think the instructions would work for the lessons but they don't. Is anyone else having problems getting ratings, flagging, colour labels to apply to selected images. Also the esc button doesn't take me back to the main working screen. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

  • "Reset All" not working on all selected images

    I had to reinstall Windows this week, and thus also Lightroom.
    Now when I select a group of images and in the develop module, take an action, such as applying a preset, resetting all, or clearing history, it only performs the action on a single active image, not on all the rest of the selected images.  How can I correct this?

    I don't quit understand what you are doing as "Clear History" is NOT under the sync settings dialog.  You can just select multiple photos and use develop/clear history on the menu and it will ask if you what to apply to "selected photos" or "active photo".    When using Auto-Sync, be careful to turn it back off when you are done needing it because it can REALLY REALLY cause accidental photo edits.  This is from painful personal experience.

  • JPEG images opened in Photoshop double in file size upon save. Why?

    I've noticed that jpeg files I open in Photoshop (fresh off the sansdisk card) pretty much double in file size (from, say, 3MB to 6MB) after they're saved. This occurs even if I don't change the image size at all and simply save as a jpeg after touching up the levels and sharpness (no major restorative work on the image at all).
    Can anyone explain this to me?

    JPG format saves disk space by using a coding scheme (called huffman) in which small numbers use fewer bits than small numbers. What is saved is differences between neigbor pixels (the idea being that there is usually much similarity between neighbor pixels). Smaller inter-neigbor differences need fewer bits than large differences. When you adjust tonality, the adjusted image most likely uses a bigger portion of the tonal range than the original image did, and the inter-neighbor differences are increased. A sharpness boost also increases differences between neighbor pixels, particularly so if you boost sharpness so much that noise is increased, and more bits are needed to store the differences.
    Another thing is that when you open a JPG image into an image editor, the editor uncompresses the image. When you re-save it, you have to select a compression ratio, and it may not necessarily be the same ratio that the original was compressed with.

  • GoPro Camera Raw Lens Profile settings not working for image sequence in Photoshop/AE/Premiere CS6

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm in need of assistance in either Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, or Premiere Pro CS6.  I just installed the trials after seeing Russell Brown demo the GoPro Lens Profile correction feature in Camera Raw.  Basically what I'm looking to do is make adjustments (in Adobe Camera Raw) to a series of still images (shot with the time-lapse mode on the GoPro) and then either export those stills through Photoshop or Bridge to a temporary movie file that will be imported into a timeline (with other video clips), or import the JPG files (with Camera Raw settings) directly into After Effects or Premiere as an image sequence.  The latter would be preferable as it'd avoid the extra step of having to render the intermediate/temporary movie file.
    Right now, my current workflow for GoPro time-lapses is:
              - use Bridge CS4 to do basic color correction on the still images
              - save those as TIF files
              - run the TIF files through a custom script to have Hugin 2012.0.0 (open source pano stitcher) remove the fisheye distortion
              - open the new TIF image sequence into QuickTime Player 7 (Pro)
              - export the image sequence as a QuickTime movie file
              - import the movie file into Premiere Elements 10 to place on a timeline with other video clips (as Premiere Elements can't handle the sequence(s) of thousands of still images without crashing)
    If I can go directly from Bridge to a timeline, it'd save a lot of processing time (and it'd be much nicer to preview the images in Bridge without the fisheye distortion)!
    I can prepare the GoPro JPG files through Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6, though when I go to import the JPEG image sequence into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, none of the Camera Raw settings are applied.  If I export the Camera Raw files in Bridge CS6 as DNG files (a step I'd really prefer to avoid) and then import the DNG image sequence into After Effects CS6, the Camera Raw settings are applied except for the Lens Profile settings -- I can pick other cameras but not the GoPro lens profiles when the DNG image sequence loads in After Effects.  It also appears that once I open the DNG files in After Effects CS6, I can no longer access the GoPro Lens Profile in Adobe Bridge CS6 -- the list changes to the same list I get in After Effects.  Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't let me import the DNG files at all.  I've also tried to import the JPG files (as well as the converted DNG files) into an image sequence in Photoshop CS6, though it doesn't allow me to do so (the Image Sequence checkbox is grayed out after I apply the Camera Raw settings in Bridge).
    There could be an issue going on with different Camera Raw versions.  I didn't have Premiere Pro CS6 installed during my initial testing, though now do notice that the Camera Raw dialog in Bridge CS6 only lets me choose compatibility up to "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" when I choose to export the files as DNG.  I thought Camera Raw 8.2 was an option there a couple days ago when I only had installed Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 (though am not 100% certain).
    Please let me know if there is some workaround to get the GoPro lens profile Camera Raw corrections applied in an image sequence in one of the Adobe CS6 products (without having to export the files as temporary TIF or JPG files out of Camera Raw).  I'd greatly prefer to shorten my current workflow for these files.  (I just updated the CS6 trials and have tested all three programs again though I still get the same results described above.)
    Does Lightroom 5 have any option to export Camera Raw image sequences as movie files (or any other feature that might help in simplifying my current workflow)?  I can't install the trial right now as it's not compatible with OS X 10.6.8.  I'd consider upgrading OS X if I knew Lightroom 5 would do what I need, though am waiting for any potential color profile issues to be resolved in OS X 10.9.
    I can open the image sequence in Photoshop CS6 if no Camera Raw settings are applied and then use the Lens Correction Filter to apply the GoPro Lens Profile settings, though I really prefer the Camera Raw interface in Bridge for tweaking image settings.  As soon as I apply Camera Raw settings to the first image, Photoshop CS6 grays out the image sequence checkbox.
    If there isn't a way to take Camera Raw files straight from Adobe Bridge to a timeline, I may stick with my current workflow using CS4 and see what I can do to better automate some of the steps as the TIF export in Bridge, fisheye distortion removal in Hugin, and render in QuickTime Player all take quite a while.  I won't mind waiting for all the processing if I can set it and check back on it in later the next day when it's fully complete.  Is there a way to have Adobe ExtendScript execute an external shell command (i.e.: a command I could type into the bash shell in Terminal in OS X)?  If not, is there a way to call/run an ExtendScript script from the command line and pass a parameter to it that my custom script could use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

  • Why does paintbrush not work on images opened from Bridge?

    This problem may be due to another cause but the most common occurance is when an image is opened from Bridge so I've posted it here.  Here are the details.
    I have had tons of problems with CS4 on my desktop PC but seem to have most of them resolved with a new video card, updated driver  and help from an earlier thread.  In fact, I thought all problems solved but this one has persisted.  If it matters I'm running Windows XP service pack 3, 4gb of RAM of which 3.4 is available.  It has an 2.67 GHz Intel Core2Duo cpu.
    If I open CS4 and open an image, all paintbrush tools (paintbrush itself, clone tool, healing tools, etc) work fine.  Sometimes I can work for hours with no problems.  Other times these tools simply stop working.   When this happens seems random.  For example, the other day as long as I did not send anything to print, all worked fine but after printing a few images the tools stopped.  Other times I've printed and the tools still worked.  Sometimes if I open images direct in Photoshop using file -> open, all is well but as soon as I launch an image from Bridge, tools don't work.  Other times launching from Bridge works fine, BUT more often than not, it seems to occur after launching from Bridge, hence the post here as I already noted.  I've tried to trace down a common set of circumstances but it is too erratic.
    What is interesting also is that the use of the tool shows up in the history panel as a step taken.  There just is no visible effect on the image.  This problem has been present since CS4 was originally installed along with several other problems.  In the course of attempting to solve them all, I have deleted preferences and allowed them to rebuild, I have actually uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop multiple times. 
    More confounding is that CS4 works fine on a clunky old laptop with less RAM and a much, much older video card.  I also, as a test, ran the 30 day trial on the computer I'm using here.  It too is older and less RAM and that worked fine too.  So it seems to be saying there is something wrong with the computer used for photo editing or the video card.  Don't think it's the card.  I bought a new one.  It didn't solve any problems so I bought another and it corrected many of the other issues I was having.  Indeed after installing the latest drivers for this card, absolutely everything worked perfectly for almost two days but now this paintbrush tool issue is back. 
    So what the heck can be going on that is cumulative or is there a hardware component that is erratic or have I missed something in CS4?  Man I love the power of the program and the improvements since CS3 but if I have to shut it down and restart it every single image, clearly that is not feasible.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Well, now I'm an idiot.  I fired up without the tablet plugged in and
    paintbrush worked fine on all files.  I then left the image open I had just
    painted on, plugged in the tablet with pc still running, no paintbrush
    function using tablet mouse.  Without unplugging the tablet I again tried
    the regular mouse and paintbrush worked fine.  So it's not a matter of any
    sort of conflict with the tablet being active, it sure looks like a tablet
    malfunction.  It still mystifies my how this tablet is so smart it can tell
    the difference between psd and jpg but there it is...can't argue with
    results.  Still, one last thing confounds me and that is the tablet works
    fine on all file types in CS3 and every other app I have.  If there was a
    malfunction with the tablet, wouldn't you think it would misbehave on all
    apps?  Could it be that the tablet needs a new driver?  You must've had a
    clue to recommend this course of action.  Now that we're here, what do you
    suggest or should that be another thread?
    By the way, if it matters I had already upgraded vc drivers and CS to 11.0.1
    before this started.

  • Images opened in Photoshop CS5 has a blue-tinted grayscale

    I was using Photoshop CS5 (64-bit) fine yesterday but today each image I open shows a loss of colour, everything looks like a blue tinted grayscale.
    The same with RAW files oipened in ACR and all files opened in Bridge.
    When I open a JPEG version in Microsoft Image Viewer the colour is fine.
    In Windows, the thumbnails look fine with full colour in the folders.
    The loss of colour only happens when the image files are opened in Photoshop, Bridge and ACR.
    Anyone out there who can help?
    Many thanks.

    Many thanks to Silkrooster, Alec Molloy & Chris Cox, for all your help and time.
    Just for info - the Huey Pro calibrator has worked well with this monitor (Dell U2410) for at least a couple of years now.
    I tried old profiles created previously using the HueyPRO but they did not work, so I deleted them from the System32/spool/drivers/color folder.
    Then a new HueyPRO-created monitor profile did not work, so I deleted that as well.
    Then at start up, the HueyPRO seemed to auto-create its own monitor profile which it named:  "hueyPRO Dell U2410 F525MOA70DKL.icc"
    But that gave the same loss of colour when opening files in Photoshop
    So I think Chris is exactly right - the problem must be with the HueyPRO "cigar" hardware, or with its software, so I may well have been bothering you all unnecessarily.
    I'll try getting a new hueyPRO - but not too common in the shops here in central Africa.
    In the meantime, I've uninstalled HueyPRO and I'm using a reference image to calibrate using the NVIDEA Control Panel (I'm working on a commission for two photo calendars at the moment and so have to keep it going....).
    Any recommendations on a better calibrator (but a non-too technical one!)??

  • Why do all my images open as grayscale?

    No matter what I change my settings to, all images I open in photoshop come in as grayscale.  Any suggestions?

    I'd like to tack on my question as well since it sounds similar.
    I'm using PhotoShop CS4 and I've opened a black and white jpg.  It's solid black with a white background and 300ppi.  It's a ridiculously simple image.  All I'm trying to do is change the black to a color.  I wanted to just grab the bucket tool and dump on some color.  However, when I selected the color as my foreground color, I noticed I'm no longer in RGB (seems only Adobe gods know why).  It's showing a grayscale horizontal bar in my colors tab on the top right.  I also see a rainbow colored horizontal bar.  Color picker worked fine but as soon as I chose my color it went back to gray as my foreground color.
    How do I get back to RGB?  I've fiddled around with this for 2 1/2 hours looking for solutions online and in the help sections on the program.  I'm now more educated on what colors are and how they're used and their deep geneauology but unfortunately, none of that has been able to tell me how to flip back to RGB. 
    Also, when I tried opening a new blank image the color selection was fine.  Do you think it's something funky with the image locking in a grayscale?  I also tried reopening PhotoShop. 
    HOLD ON!!  I FIXED IT!!
    Well, I hope this helps Crystal (above).
    I hit the "Image" tab, "Mode" and saw that "grayscale" was checked.  I have no idea how that happened but I selected "RGB" and I have color.  I'm sure you were all holding your breath, right? 

  • Why won't my images open in photoshop?

    I just upgraded from Lr3 to Lr5 and from PsCS5 to PsCS6. Yesterday (directly after upgrading Ps,) I was able to open images from Lightroom into CS6 by selecting and using cmd E shortcut. Later on last night, and today, I can't get anything to open in photoshop from lightroom. Ps launches, but nothing ever opens. I don't get any error messages or any other clue as to why the images are not loadiing. What happened and how do I fix it? I have a whole wedding to edit, and I can't get any images to open in ps. I am running Mountain Lion OS X 10..4 on a MacBook Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have been having the same issue. Win7 OS - CntrlE or selecting "Edit in.." will open CCPhotoshop2014, but image will not load. As others have found, I can open the image I want directly in Photoshop using "Open" command, but no LR changes accompany the file. I attempted to delete both CCPhotoshop and CCPhotoshop2014 preferences file found in User AppData file but no success. I have had CS6 Photoshop loaded in the past, but removed it some time ago. I had uninstalled CCPhotoshop after I installed CCPhotoshop2014. 
    My Lightroom installation is original stand-alone. I have no other Adobe products, just CCPhotoshop2014.
    I did update Lightroom from 5.4 to 5.5 before I installed Photoshop CC2014. I could not say if Lightroom 5.5 had any issue opening in PhotoshopCC as I did not try it before I updated to PhotoshopCC 2014. I do know that in "Preferences - external editor"  PhotoshopCC2014 was listed in my LR5.5 preferences, as I checked that.
    I used Windows control panel to uninstall PhotoshopCC2014, checking the "remove preferences" option. I then rebooted and reinstalled PhotoshopCC2014.
    Success! Lightroom now will allow me to open a file in Photoshop, using the CntrlE command.

  • Problem with image opened in Photoshop

    Hi all,
    I am having a strange problem with an image opened from Aperture in Photoshop. Though the image looks fine, something is amiss. Most notably when I try to use the shadow/highlight command in Photoshop, the image actually darkens (highlights are set to zero amount). If I export the image as a jpeg and open it in Photoshop, the s/h command works as expected. If I export as a .psd file and open it, the s/h command again darkens the image. Interestingly, the .psd file thumbnail shows orange with read streaks through it, but opens as it should. Corrupted .psd conversion maybe?
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Additional info:
    Same problem with a series of photos taken about the same time.
    Other photos work fine.
    I exported the original .nef file, opened it in camera raw/photoshop. Works fine.
    Corruption/bug in the .psd conversion looks more likely unless I'm missing something. . . .
    Help!!!
