You should not see a dialog box in Lightroom when sending a raw file to Photoshop. The only time you should see a dialog with a raw file is when you don't have the same version of the Camera Raw plug-in in Photoshop to match the version of Lightroom installed.

Lightroom is not opening photos in Photoshop....

Lightroom is not opening photos in Photoshop. I click Edit in PS...it opens PS...then nothing. Please help!!

Thanks guys! I am back in the room!!
That is the only thing I didn't try as I thought it was LR related. Duh!

I'm losing LIghtroom processing changes when opening photo in Photoshop. Why?

I have been using Lightroom only for a couple of weeks. For several years I used Bridge and Camera Raw for RAW file processing. After noticing that every .DNG file I process in LIghtroom 5.4 and subsequently open in Photoshop-CS4 loses the Lightroom processing in Photoshop, I conducted the following experiment:
A .dng file that had not previously been in LR catalog was placed in folder as Original DNG.dng.
File was copied and named Lightroom Processed.dng
Both files were imported into LR
The Lightroom Processed.dng file was loaded into Develop module and Exposure set to +5.00. (Note that original is underexposed by about 1 stop and at +5 the photo is almost completely washed out.)
Lightroom Processed.dng was opened in Photoshop-CS4. (There was no prompt for "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments". I'm assuming it was because it was a .dng file.) The original underexposed version was displayed is PS. When Ctrl-S was used to save the file, a file entitled Lightroom Processed-Edit.tif was automatically saved in the same folder and imported into LR.
I copied the Develop Settings from Lightroom Processed.dng to LIghtroom Processed-Edit.tif and the numeric exposure setting was displayed as +5.00 BUT there are slight differences in appearance and in the histogram for the .dng and .tif versions. The .tif version is very slightly darker than the .dng version.
I opened LIghtroom Processed-Edit.tif in PS. This time I was prompted to "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" along with the other two options for opening a copy without adjustments or opening original. I selected "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments".
I can't believe that one cannot process a raw file in Lightroom and then open it in Photoshop without having the processing one does in Lightroom carry over into Photoshop. I've never had this problem using Bridge and Camera Raw. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance to all who can help with this problem.

@willard, moving from a Photoshop Bridge-ACR workflow to an Lightroom workflow there are a couple important differences to be aware off.
a. ACR/Bridge uses .xmp sidecars to read and write changes to raw files(in the case of DNG files the .xmp data is stored within the file header). ACR/ Bridge cannot read the data stored in the Lightroom Catalog. The info is in the file.
b. Lightroom by default uses a Catalog file to read and write all that you do in Lightroom. The info is in the Catalog. There is also the option to have Lightroom also write info to a sidecar .xmp file or within the file header of DNG, TIFF or JPG files. This can also be achieved by using the CTRL/CMD-S. This info in the .xmp or DNG files is used by ACR/Bridge.
c. In your case the xmp data written by LR 5 which uses the equivalent of ACR 8.4 will not be fully understood by PS CS4 which uses ACR 5.x.
d. So if you open a DNG file directly in PS CS4 there will not be full compatibly. (you may have requested Lightroom to write to the DNG file but PS CS4 cannot read it all)
Quote "(There was no prompt for "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments". I'm assuming it was because it was a .dng file.) "
In the Lightroom Preferences General tab> Prompts> select Reset all warning dialogs.

How do i open photos in photoshop elements 9

I have loaded Photoshop Elements 9 on my MacBook Pro and cannot open photos. I also have IPhoto running

The following is how to use PSE from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General 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
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 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 main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

When I try to open photos in photoshop they are black.

I can no longer open anything in photoshop from Lightroom and if I just try to open a photo using the open dialogue it opens a black square. Everything was working okay last night - tonight nothing works. My operating system is Windows 8. I have never been able to get things to work properly. When I tried to install Photoshop 2014 it never worked and I always had to use the original cc version.

The size you see in the finder is the compressed size. When you open it in Photoshop, you are seeing the expanded size.

Can't Open Photos on Photoshop Elements 11 with my Macbook Pro

I know they are there, but I'm unable to access them from within Photoshop Elements 11. I don't know what the problem is. Help!

Can I set Bridge CS3 double-click to open photo in PhotoShop Elements?

I've just purchased PhotoShop Elements 6 for my Macinstosh and would like a double-click on a photo in Bridge CS3 to automatically open in Photoshop Elements 6 for editing. Can this be done and how?

Doesn't Elements 6 for Mac come with its own version of Bridge?

How Open Photo in Photoshop

The Lighthouse photo opened in Photoshop Elements. How can I get it to open in Photoshop CC?

The best way is to start Photoshop CC, then in Photoshop go to the File menu choose Open. Navigate to the lighthouse file.
That is assuming that you have downloaded Photoshop CC.

Bridge remains in foreground after opening Photo in Photoshop

Recently I have found that Bridge remains the foreground application when I have used it to open an image in Photoshop (the default).
Clicking on the Photoshop window does not change things, Bridge remains the foreground active application.
I can only remedy this situation by sending Bridge to the dock then clicking in photoshop.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks

How To Get Help Quickly!
Other than that are Photoshop and OS fully updated and which of the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting the application, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.) have you performed so far?

Bridge issues with opening photos in photoshop

Today I shut down my computer and when I opened it I can't open pictures from bridge to photoshop. It only gives me preview as an option. I have a Mac. I reset preferences and that didn't fix it. Any suggestions.

Me too. After upgrade I am unable to download epubs from jw.org directly to ibooks. Checked my moms and hers is the same. Very upsetting to have to go the long way by syncing to itunes on my pc to get recent literature. Who's issue: Apple or JW? What changed? Who needs to fix it? Who to ask? Don't take the update until this is resolved!! HELP!!!

Photoshop CC freezing when opening photo(s)

When opening photos into Photoshop CC, photoshop somewhat freezes. It appears that it is trying to open the file, but nothing happens. I have tried to let it sit for about 30 minutes, to let it runs it course, with no progress. This happens when opening a single photo or opening multiple photos at a time. The only way to get out of this, is to Control, Alt, Delete. I have tried closing out of Photoshop and going back in and even rebooting the computer completely, with no luck. Each time, I get the same thing. This all seems to have started after I ran the newest update.

Have you trashed the preferences as mentioned here?

Photoshop or bridge to open photos in

just getting started better to open photos in photoshop or bridge

@AV8TOR,
Good question. I think it's a matter of preference. Although Bridge has a _lot_ of capabilities, the thing I like most is that you can see thumbnails for camera raw images.
Also, a lot of people use mini-Bridge. Here's a link to more info on mini-Bridge.
Hope this helps,

Open Photos directly from server, edit, can't save back. Inconsistent.

Server is Dual 2.3ghz, with 6 gigs RAM, XRAID with Raid 5 for 2.5 TB. We have artists who are opening photos into Photoshop CS2, using Mac 10.4.4 clients on server that happens to be running 10.4.3 (plan to update it tonight). Edit the photos and do a "Save" or "Save As" and 75% of the time they get an error message saying "don't have right access." Now this user has write access based on the group. Permissions is Standard Behavior inherited by the group so we don't worry about Posix ownership problems when others drop in folders. The user can drag and drop and never have issue. It is only when saving. Now I know that Adobe doesn't support opening any file opened directly from a server on any of their products (ie. won't troubleshoot multiple network and or file services). This doesn't happen with any other app. 25% of time no problem. So it is Server or Photoshop?

Here is my two cents on this issue. It appears that Photoshop does some of its own permissions checking instead of just relying on the OS.
Here is the situation I see and how I make photoshop work right. I have ACLs set up on my share to allow access for the correct groups. When a file is created by a user, lets say 'joeuser' it gets created as such
-rw-r--r-- + 1 joeuser group 724482 Feb 12 16:20 file.psd
Notice that the posix group doesn't have write access. At this point if 'janeuser' tries to open and edit file.psd in Photoshop she will not be able to save, even though my ACLs give her write access.
Now if I run:
chmod g+w file.psd
Photoshop will allow janeuser to save that file as long as she is a member of 'group'.
The short version is that Photoshop seems to ignore ACLs, then tell you the file is locked.
