Opening files in Lightroom 4

When I attempt to open any file in Lightroom 4 I get the following message: "the file named......is off line or missing", in develop the message is "the folder cannot be found".I can open the files in Photoshop 6 with no problem.

The LR catalogue does not store your image files, only links to them within your file system. If you move, rename or delete the file (outside of LR), LR loses the link and displays only the preview it generated when the image was first imported.
In Library, you will probably find a “?” on that image. Clicking and following the locate wizard should restore the link or, if all images in the folder are missing, right-clicking the folder and selecting Update Folder Location will do the same.

  • Photoshop CC locking up saying "Reading Camera Raw Format" when opening file from Lightroom

    When I open a file from Lightroom, CC opens and asks about sending data to Adobe, and no matter what answer you give the program locks up at the "Reading Camera Raw Format" prompt.

    What files from which camera do you use? Where are they stored? What system? Are Lightroom and Photoshop properly updated and use the same RAW settings? Provide more info.

  • Photoshop CS3 lauches but does not open files from Lightroom 2.7

    These programs have been on my computer since the dawn of time and have always worked. Now all of a sudden I can't open files from LR into PS. PS launches, but the files don't open. I get that message Photoshop could not be lauched, which is ironic since the program is now open.
    I haven't done anything to the programs so it makes no sense. IN the past I have had issues with PS and the tech had me create a new login on my computer and it fixed things. Tried that. No help.
    Does anyone ahve any suggestions. I have repaired both programs to no avail.
    Thanks for you help.

    Something has gone wrong with how Lightroom finds and communicates with Photoshop.
    That could be a registry string, or some preference within Lightroom.
    The Lightroom forum is more likely to be able to help you solve this.

  • Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

    On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

    There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

  • Troubles opening files from Lightroom 5.3 to Photoshop sinds update.

    I did the update to Lightroom 5.3 and i use Photoshop 13.0.6.
    When i open an image from lightroom into Photoshop i always get the undeveloped image. How can i get the developped image into photoshop?

    I have the same problem.
    Further symptoms:
    - When opening the image as SmartObject in PS CC the slide for e.g. brightness can be moved. When moving the focus to an other slider, the previous changed values (brightness) is reset to 0.
    - it seems that the auto lens correction in LR5 causes the problem sometimes
    I found out a workaround which seems to work:
    - close an app:
    First I thought it was "Parallels" running. I quit Parallels and everything works fine. Next time the problem occured "Parallels" was not running. So I quit the app "Textwrangler". It solved the problem again. Yesterday I solved it quitting the MacOs-build in "Mail" app, because it was the only other app that was running.
    If someone can tell me how the files are exactly taken to Photoshop CC from Lightroom I probably can search for reasons of this behavior.
    Any ideas?
    Hope my workaround helps you too.

  • Cant open file in photoshop from lightroom

  • I have Photoshop CS2 vsn 9.0 with the Camera Raw 3.7 update and the Digital Negative Converter.  I cannot open any RAW files. Does the fact that I've opened them in Lightroom 5.0 before make a difference?

    When I try to open the RAW file (CR2) from the Photoshop application or from the Bridge (even while holding down the shift key) I get a message saying it's not the right kind of file. When I try to convert using the converter, it won't recognize the files.

    Which operating system are you using?
    Which camera are the camera raw files from?
    Did you convert the files to dng using lightroom or the standalone dng converter?
    If using the standalone dng converter, which version?
    In the dng converter did you try setting the Compatibility for Camera Raw 2.4 and later
    (Preferences>Compatibility)
    You should also be able to send the files from lightroom to cs2 without converting to dng, either by using Photo>Edit In>Photoshop or setting cs2 as an external editor in the lightroom preferences

    why do i get the following message when i attempt to open my backup file for lightroom cc?  "Lightroom cannot use the catalog named "Lightroom Catalog" because it is not writable and cannot be opened".  This message just started coming  up after downloading lightroom cc (previously using lightroom 5)...am i backing up properly or not???

    Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
    Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
    Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.

  • How to open NRW-files in Lightroom 4?I

    just bought Nikon's Coolpix P7800. It says you can shoot in Raw. Now I want to open these files in LR, just like I'm used to with my SLR's. But Nikon uses the NRW-format for Raw and LR says it doesn't recognise the files. Does someone know if there's a way to convert and work with these files in LR 4?

    Thanks Jim for your response,
    I will upgrade to 5.3

    created by JimHess in Photoshop Lightroom - View the full discussionThe only way to use those files with Lightroom 4 is to convert them to DNG using DNG converter 8.3 or higher. The camera wasn't supported in Lightroom until version 5.3.

    I'm trying to export a raw image from lightroom 5.6 to Photoshop cc 2014 2.1.  I right click to export menu in lightroom as I've always done to export to Photoshop.  Photoshop opens, but it can't open file, window opens to find a file to open.  I'd like this to export my lightroom images to edit in photoshop as it has always been able to do for me.  What fix do you recommend?

    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?

  • Can photoshop CC open raw files from Lightroom 5?

    Trying to open raw files from Lightroom 5 in Photoshop CC 2014, with no luck.
    Anyone?

    Problems are as follows— all versions are current.
    1. When in Lightroom, trying to open a photo in Photoshop,-- choosing Photo>Edit in Photoshop CC 2014— Photoshop opens but no photo appears. The only time a photo opens is if it is a JPEG… CR2 does not open, dng does not open
    2. When trying to open a JPEG in Photoshop, dialog box opens offering choice between "Edit Original", "Edit a copy", or "Edit with Lightroom adjustments", Only choosing “Edit Original” allows photo to open.
    3. When in Photoshop choosing “Browse in Bridge” does not open Bridge… opens CC app and prompts me to install another version of Bridge, or keep version I have.  (See attached screenshot) Either way it’s a malfunction… as I said earlier all versions are leanest.
    PLEASE HELP!!

  • In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?

    In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?

    You would go into Preferences > File Type Associations and from the dropdown menu and choose "Browse" to get to Lightroom.
    So yes you can set files that Lightroom supports to open from Bridge into Lightroom.
    But I don't think you'd want to.
    Lightroom is a standalone product for a Photography workflow. Bridge is a manager for Creative suite products like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign. Basically web and print design workflows.
    Bridge is not a manager for Lr because Lr has it's own catalog system.
    Lightroom is not a Creative Suite product.
    Bridge does use Adobe Camera Raw to make adjustments, but move those adjusted files into Lr, you have to make a decision whose settings stay.
    This video should explain the difference.

  • How do i open a raw file in lightroom

    how do I open a raw file in lightroom?

    Yes, those are good links, but let's clean up the terminology too so we're all talking the same language.
    There is no "open" in Lightroom when referring to photos.
    You can "import" photos into Lightroom ... this means that now Lightroom has registered the photo's location and other pertinent information into its database, but it does not store the photo itself in the Lightroom database (or anywhere else in Lightroom), so Lightroom never contains your photos; the photo continues to be stored on one of your hard drives, wherever you want it to be, and the file is visible in your operating system.
    Once you have imported the photos, then Lightroom can perform tasks on the photos, such as Develop, Print, e-mail or upload, etc. and once you have imported photos into Lightroom, you should not move or rename or delete them outside of Lightroom.

  • How do I open a Lightroom file in Photoshop? When I go to Open/Applications the Lightroom tab is not illumintated!

    I have just downloaded and install Photoshop CC but I am unable to open a file from Lightroom. I can open files from 'Pictures' no problem. If I go to Open/Applications and scroll down the Lightroom tab is not illuminated and not able to open! What do I do, or what have I not done?!

    In Lightroom you should be able to just double click on an image and open it up in Photoshop, or right click in Lightroom and choose edit in Photoshop. You can point to Photoshop in the Lightroom preferences under External Editing.
    However, the first part of question I just answered. The second part of your question makes it sound like you are trying to open a psd in Lightroom... so I don't really know what you are trying to do.

  • Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
    D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
    Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.
