Opening images in CS5 from Lightroom 4

Hi,
Can someone explain why, when I edit an image from Lightroom in CS5 ( or other plugins ), that when I save it and go back to Lightroom, the edited image is not there.
The original is there but not the edited version. It will say 2 x 2 for example, so I know the edited version is there somewhere, but I cannot see it in the filmstrip.
The only way I can see the edited image is if I close Lightroom down and restart it. Then it appears next to the original. Obviously that is not ideal.
I would appreciate any help, I hope its just a setting somewhere.
Thanks,
Dave.

Have you tried resetting your warnings in the preferences dialog?

  • When opening image in Photoshop from Lightroom "edit it," it defaults to TIF format

    When I open an image in Photoshop CC by using the "edit with" command in Lightroom 5, after editing, the file will default to a TIF image rather than PSD. This ends up creating large, duplicate files (TIF and PSD) after I correct the problem.
    Isn't there a way to ensure Photoshop CC defaults to a PSD regardless of where it's opened.
    I do not use any editing or image-adjusting features in Lightroom. Nothing is changed in a photo until I edit in Photoshop. I open with RAW in photoshop.
    I'm using Windows 8.1 with plenty of memory and disk space.
    Thanks

    Hi EJToll,
    If you like to set the default file format of the file you Edit in Photoshop CC thorugh Lightroom then perform following steps.
    Lanuch Lightroom and go to Edit> Preference(Windows) Lightroom>Peference(Mac)
    Click "External Editing" tab
    Change the option for "File Format" to PSD as deafult format for Edit In Adobe Photoshop CC
    Click "Ok" button
    Hope this helps.

  • How to access Camera Raw when invoking CS5 from Lightroom 3?

    When I invoke CS5 from Lightroom, my NEF files seem to load directly without giving me an opportunity to make adjustments in Camera Raw. If I open the same NEF file from windows Explorer, CS5 presents the Camera Raw adjustment page and I can make adjustments before proceeding.
    How can I work around this?
    BTW I know I can make camera raw adjustments in Lightroom and then open in CS5, however for an image that I know I will be using CS5 on anyway, I don't want to do anything at all in LR just go direct to CS5 but I can't do this if this bypasses my ability to make adjustments in camera raw!
    I must be missing something here, can anyone point me in the right direction?
    [I'm using Camera Raw 6.1, LR3, CS5 12.0.1 x64; Invoking CS5 from LR3 by right-click on image, Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5]

    That workaround did work for me so thanks for the helpful reply!
    If anyone else has other ways of making this work I'd like to hear about it.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Sounds like one of many manifestations of a display driver bug... If going into Edit - Preferences - Performance, disabling OpenGL Drawing, then closing and restarting Photoshop changes the behavior, then you should visit the web site of the maker of your video card, download/install the latest display driver that matches your hardware and OS, re-enable OpenGL Drawing (making sure to restart Photoshop), and test again. Display driver updates fix many problems. -Noel

  • Accesing CS5 from Lightroom 4.1

    Hi,
    I have both Photoshop CS5 and CS6 loaded on my computer as well as LR 4.1. I have been primarily editing in CS6 from Lightroom becuase of full compatibility. But today, I wanted to open a file in CS5 from Lightroom because one of the Photoshop plugins I am using is not compatible yet with CS5. When I went to the menu to choose CS5 as my program to edit in, it wasn't available as a choice and I cant figure out why. CS6 was the only choice I was offered. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.
    John

    Yes, that's correct and should work. However, make sure you save that setting as a new preset....use "Choose" to select "Photoshop.exe" from the CS5 program folder, then use the drop down arrow at the end of the Preset box and choose "Save Current Settings as New Preset"....give the preset a name, and it should then appear in the "Edit in" context menu.

  • Opening jpg in photoshop from lightroom

    I have Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop CS6. If I'm viewing a photo in LR and select edit in CS6, the photo doesn't open in camera raw, even though I have CR selected in photoshop preferences as my preference. Is this normal?

    You cannot open directly into ACR from Lightroom.  Lightroom and ACR perform the same functions.  In the transfer from Lightroom to Photoshop the design is for ACR to simply interpret the adjustments made in Lightroom, and apply those adjustments to the image that is opened in Photoshop.  Technically speaking, ACR isn't needed for anything else because it is simply a duplication of effort.  So if you want to return or enter ACR, you have to do as Rick indicated, and double click on the smart object in the layers panel.

  • Can't send files to CS5 from Lightroom

    For some reason I can't send files to CS5 from Lightroom 5 and have no idea why. It was never a problem before. I also am not able to open files in the Nik collections from Lightroom. Any ideas?

    While in LR5. I would either right click or go to the Photo tab > Edit in > Edit in photoshop CS5, or on one of the Nik collections plug ins. And absolutely nothing happens. I tried reinstalling SC5 and LR5 with the updates. And it still doesn't work. My OS is W7. I haven't tried updating Niks collection yet.
    I have no idea what to do from here.

    Hi Karen
    You may the sort set to Custom. Click the dropdown menu on the toolbar (to the right of the word sort) and change to capture time.
    If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press the T key. Press T again to hide.

  • Image garbled when exporting to Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 3

    I posted this in the Lightroom forum, but I am cross-posting it here in case anyone has run into something similar...
    I  purchased a new 2011 Sandy Bridge MacBook Pro.  I loaded Lightroom 3.3  and CS5 Photoshop onto it.  Unfortunately, whenever I export a picture  from Lightroom into Photoshop for editing (using CMD-E), the image is  completely garbled in Photoshop.  It's particularly confusing, because  the layer preview looks correct in Photoshop, but the actual image in  the editing window is completely illegible.  I've attached screenshots  to illustrate.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Kent

    I'm having the same problem and I have a brand new (4 day old) MacBook Pro too. My images look like this...
    It only works when I change the LR3 preferences to edit in CS5 as sRGB and not ProPhoto RGB. However, I want to use ProPhoto RGB as my workspace in CS5 so I need to figure out what the problem is...

  • Problems opening multiple images as layers from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

    I'm having trouble bringing multiple photos from Lightroom 4 into Photoshop CS6 as layers. In LR4, I select the multiple photos I want to bring in, right click and from the pop-up menu select "Edit In", then "Open as Layers In Photoshop...". Photoshop CS6 then opens but the photos do not load in. I then get an error in LR4 about a minute later that says "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." However Photoshop just opened before I got the error. How do I fix this?

    Maybe a keyboard issue - shortcut key toggling multiple times. But, if you're sure your keyboard is fine, then try this:
    Reset LR preferences:Windows 7/ Vista: The preference setting file is Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs, in C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\. Rename/ move this file to a different location. LR will recreate preferences during next launch. See if this fixes the issue. The reason we're renaming or moving it is so that if it doesn't fix the error, you can move it back there so you don't have to recreate your in-application preferences again
    Reset Photoshop preferences: Follow instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
    See if either or one of the above suggestions works.

  • When I open an image in Photoshop from Lightroom it does not show any adjustments, without restarting photoshop between each picture.

    I am using Macbook Pro, Photoshop CC, and Lightroom 5.
    The problem is: When I start edit in photoshop from Lightroom, the adjustment in Lightroom does not showing up in Photoshop. This has never been happen before while using Photoshop 6.
    I have tried to reinstall the products several times, including OS Yosemite. But it does not help.

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • Can't open a raw file from Lightroom to Photoshops ACR

    I got used to using Lightroom 3 as a place to catalogue and store my images but still process my Raw files in Adobe Photoshops Raw Convertor. Now that I have Lightroom 5 I can't find out how to do this.  With version 3 I just highlighted say 3 files and hit command E.
    I know I can open an image as a smart object and go about it that way but I can't open multiple images from Lightroom to ACR.
    I know people will say '' hey well do your Raw work in Lightroom'' but I got used to using the Photoshop Raw convertor and I spent a lot of time and money learning it.
    Surely there is a way to open say three images from L5 to ACR ???
    Please help this has been driving me nuts, It's suggested I will need to start using Bridge but I'm bewildered and don't want to start learning something new.
    Thanks in advance.

    It has been a long time since I even had Lightroom 3 installed on my computer.  I don't recall the behavior you are describing.  ACR is used to translate the adjustments made in Lightroom as the image is transferred to Photoshop.  You may have become accustomed to a certain behavior, but it doesn't work that way.  The process of moving from Lightroom to Photoshop works on the assumption that you have done your raw adjustments using Lightroom, and you are now passing that image to Photoshop.

  • Problems opening files when jumping from Lightroom 3

    Hello,
    I've been editing exclusively with LR3 since I switched over to Mac from PC a few months ago.  I finally got around to buying and installing PSE 9 for Mac today and set it up as an external editor in Lightroom.  However, when I try to jump from LR to PSE, the file doesn't open.  PSE opens, but no photo.  When I close PSE and go back to Lightroom, there are additional copies of the file there, suggesting that the file did in fact go over to PSE, but I couldn't see it. 
    Any tips on what I might be doing wrong or what I should try?  I'd appreciate the help. 
    Thanks!
    Jaye

    Hi Jaye
    This may be a Mac problem as some users on 10.6.4 have experienced erratic behavior with the PSE9 Editor. There are definitely bugs with OS6 and some Mac users have even switched back to OS5.
    The problem seems to disappear if both Organizer and Editor are in the dock. You may have no need of Organizer if you use Lightroom but it’s worth a try to see if you experience any change in behavior.
    Use Finder to locate the Organizer application and place it in the dock along with the Editor.
    The usual sequence from Lightroom after selecting a raw photo in the Library is:
    Cmd+E (select edit with light room settings and choose 8 bit tiff or PSD)
    Edit Image in PSE9
    Cmd+S (to save and click OK to overwrite the file created by Lightroom)
    Cmd+W to close in PSE9
    Return to Lightroom to view your edit.
    PSE9 has limited support for large 16 bit files and you can’t use layers which is why I recommend selecting 8 bit.

  • LR3 Won't Open Images in CS5!

    Hello!
    I've been running both LR3 and CS5 for months and months, and now suddenly, when I go to "Edit in Photoshop CS5..." an image, it won't open in CS5! It always worked great before. Now, instead, CS5 does nothing, or throws up an open dialogue box of its own. What gives? And, sometimes, after trying to open images to edit them in CS5, I'll notice that CS5 now has, in its "Open Recent..." drop down menu under the File menu, some strange file names with an .ini suffix, or long strings of letters and numbers that mean nothing to me. I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 Help! This is very strange!
    Tom

    My issue is resolved! I simply updated LR from 3.4 to 3.5, and also updated to the latest CS5, and everything is working fine now. My problem does have one similarity to yours, though: I recently added an external hard drive, where my LR catalogs and images are now being stored. I don't know if adding the external hard drive caused LR3 (or CS5) to somehow lose track of where the image was that needed to be opened!
    Anyway, all is working fine now, and I'm a happy camper.

  • How come I can no longer open a file direct from Lightroom 4 to PS 5.1??

    I use to be able to open a RAW file directly from Lightroom to PS, make my edits and then have the edited file resaved to Lightroom but no longer. Why?

    Hi Ryan,
    Would suggest you to try the suggestions mentioned here. Lightroom: Edit In External Editor does not work/function
    Also, make sure your Lightroom and Photoshop both are up-to-date.
    Cheers!
