Opening image from lightroom

When I open an image from lightroom as an edit copy it's profile is a psd file. PROPHOTO RGB. Should I convert to adobe RGB or use the PROPHOTO RGB profile? After edit in ps2 should it be saved as adobe rgb to be imported back to lightroom? Thanks, Owen

It depends on the use to which you intend to put the PSD file. If you're preparing for print, and that process can support PRo Photo space, I'd use that. Otherwise aRGB.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop won't open image from lightroom

    When I try to export an image from Lightroom to Photoshop (CC) Photoshop opens, but the image doesn't.

    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

  • 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!

  • Problem uninstalling Photoshop CC & opening images from Lightroom

    I have installed Photoshop CC 2014 on my Windows 7 64 bit PC and want to uninstall the previous CC version.  However, when I try to uninstall I get the attached message. I have followed all the instructions and still keep getting this message.  I have run the Cleaning Tool but it doesn't list the CC version only the 2014 under Creative Cloud. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I don't need 3 versions of PS on my PC.
    My second problem is that when I click on Edit in Photoshop CC 2014, in Lightroom 5.5, it opens Photoshop but the image doesn't appear.  It was working initially but for some reason has stopped working.

    Im running on the latest version of osx and having the exact same problem with opening files in photoshop cc 2014 from Lightroom. Would be great if someone had a fix for this.

    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?

  • Has anyone had difficulties opening up an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CC?

    Has anyone had difficulties opening up an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CC?

    Hi Tom,
    Kind of you to reply. My 'titles' conform, as they always have done.  I've used a few versions of PSE over the years. Pics edited in an older version opened up no probs on ipad.
    When I upgraded my camera a few years ago I had to upgrade PSE because the updated codec for shooting raw was not available for downloading to earlier versions of the programme.  The same occurred again with another camera upgrade, which is why I am using PSE12 now.
    Cheers

  • Sending images from lightroom 5 to elements 12 for panorama.

    Hello. I have elements 12 and lightroom 5 installed. I go to send 5 images from lightroom to send to elements to do the pano. When I select the 5 images I want I click go to edit and then select merge in panorama. It then opens up elements 12 but after waiting for some time the images font show up. It used to work but now it don't. In lightroom 5 I have it set in the presences right so my external editor is elements 12. After a while I looked in my pictures section in windows and lo and behold all my images that I have sent to elements to do psn os with are in pictures section as raw files. So lightroom is sending them but not to my external editor.
    Can someone please help me this is very frustrating.
    thanks for any help you can offer me.

    Which version of Lightroom 5 do you have?
    Which version of camera raw are you using in photoshop elements 12?
    In Lightroom what are the preferences at the top of the External Editing tab set to?
    I realize that yours may be different, because you don't have photoshop installed, but here even though photoshop cc 2014 is on this machine, as long as i have pse 12 and not cc 2014 open before
    choosing Photo>Edit in>Merge to Panorama in Photoshop, it does work for pse 12 with nikon nef files (camera raw files), but it uses the preferences at the top of the external editing tab instead of the ones below.
    So if the Bit Depth is not set to to 8 bits/channel then photomerge doesn't work.

  • Problems transferring images from lightroom to PS... why??

    I'm using a imac 2011 and I was trying for the first time to transfer an image from lightroom (version 3) to PS (version CS3 10.01) using these steps:
    select image, right click to "edit in", then selected "open as a smart object in ps" and then PS opens BUT no image is in it...??
    I have checked for updates but it says it's all good.  I have also tried just "edit  in PS CS3" but same thing!  Why is this?? please help...
    Thanks,
    Dina

    Hey Dina.  CS3 is no longer updated with the most recent versions of ACR, so it probably can't understand the file.  Is the file from a recent camera?

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Knut
