Perfect image in CS3 overexposed in Lightroom

New user to Lightroom (1.1) - Windows XP; High spec PC; Apple Cinema Display (new last week) calibrated with Spyder2; I am used to developing photo images (Canon 1DSII) in CS3 and using layers instead of ND grad filters to bring out the sky etc. I was impressed by a brief demo of Lightroom, so bought it 2 weeks ago, but am now frustrated - I have developed images in L/R, exported to P/Shop, added another L/R develop of the same image as a layer, flattened the layers, saved as a new tiff (say "A"), reimported into L/R - (call that "B") (I had already tried the save in P/S and L/R will keep all that info etc) so its the same file (isnt it?) - the result is then that "A" looks perfect in P/S but overexposed in L/R. I have done screen prints of the P/S Histogram (nice bell shape) and the L/R Histogram (skewed to the right). What is going on? Should I give up on L/R and stick to P/S (and learn how to use Bridge properly for cataloging etc or even go back to the one Microsoft bought)? Other info - I checked the P/S colour space - it was Prophoto ("similar to L/R space" per the manual).

Fantastic - thanks Jao - resetting the reimported files development did nothing - but changing the prefs, "removing" the file from L/R then reimporting it, produces an image identical to the P/S one. If I then hit the "Auto" button in "Develop" it adjusts it to the overexposed image I had before. So the "Auto" is not as useful as it could be (maybe its good on DNG's but not on Tiffs?)! Thanks again - I can now continue with L/R, and attempt the long process of cataloging the last 3 years images!

  • Processing Canon G10 RAW Images in CS3 and Lightroom 2.1

    I've not found a post on point. If I've missed one, sorry.
    Contemplating getting a G10. After research here's what I understand. Please, correct me if I am wrong:
    1. To process a G10 image in ACR, one has to have 5.2. One cannot use 5.2 in CS3. To process the image in CS3 one has to first convert to DNG. This can be done by way of a separate converter OR in Lightroom 2.1, on import.
    2. Lightroom 2.1 will process the image in either RAW or DNG formats.
    So, since I own both Lightroom and CS3 -- I will be able to use ACR in Lightroom if I don't want to convert to DNG first.
    Am I right?
    I don't want to buy the camera if I can't use my usual workflow.
    Thanks.
    sjh
    PS. I think my CS4 Master Suite will arrive tomorrow. But, there is a lot of odd information about ACR and the G10 out there so I thought I'd take the time to clear it up and see if I got it right.

    Lightroom 2.1 does NOT support native files from the G10. LR 2.2, which will be released in December will. So for both programs you need to use the Adobe DNG converter 5.2 to convert to DNG for the time being. It is unclear whether when you have LR 2.2 and CS3 installed whether "Edit in Photoshop" will work correctly with files from cameras such as the G10. It will always work fine if you use dng.

  • Loading an image into CS3 from Lightroom

    Sorry to repeat this request but:
    I am running Lightroom on a laptop with Windows Vista. If I make changes to an image in the develop module of Lightroom, and then right click on the image, go to Edit in CS3, and Edit a Copy with Lightroom adjustments, CS3 boots up but no image appears within CS3.
    I did have both CS2 and CS3 on my hard drive. I removed CS2 with no benefit. I removed Lightroom, and re-installed a purchased version but still the same problem. Edit - Preferences - External Editing shows Edit in Photoshop CS3 and Additional External Editor Photoshop.exe. Trying this latter option to open the image in CS3 also fails.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    Uninstall and reinstall PS CC 2014.  This fixes things for most people with this problem and there are many.

  • Unable to stop images from auto toning in lightroom 4

    lightroom automatically auto tones images after importing them even when told not to do so in the preferences.
    Edit> preferences> presets
    I have made sure everything is unchecked.
    I previously asked this question but got no solution so i'm trying again to ask.
    here is link original: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4320121
    to sum up my problem. when I synchronize a folder it imports the images, which then starts auto toning the thumbnails and if i click on image its looks awful. so its not just the thumbnails its the image also
    this is really frustrating for me because I shoot in HDR, meaning I bracket my shots  from -3 to +3, 1 stop for each image. so what i expect is each each to go from dark to light but instead lightroom tones them automatically making each image near identical.
    its like lightroom thinks theres a problem and tries to balance each picture so instead of going from dark to light now all 5 bracketed shots look near identical because it has toned them.
    i dont know why it does this.
    i have uninstalled light room.
    deleted every folder, cache in my app data and anything related to adobe lightroom. rebooted.
    reinstalled.
    Edit> preferences> presets
    I have made sure everything is unchecked.
    then i import a folder and again it starts auto toning them.
    my work around is to select all images> right click develop settings>reset
    and now they look normal.
    so i have to do this each time, basically adding another step.
    the frustration grows because I suffer from ADD and some times I forget to reset the images after an import. grrr
    anotyher huge problem is I export images.
    when ever I have finalized the image and deem its ready for the internets I export it to a subfolder as a jpeg at 100% size and quality.
    then I synchronize the folder and it imports those new jpeg pictures
    and guess what it does, it auto tones them,
    argghhhh
    this is driving me nuts.
    all i want it lightroom to NOT auto tone anything after an import.
    i want my pictures and thumbnails to look exactly how they look.
    to be specific. after I import i can see all my thumbnails, they looks fine. i can see my bracket shots from dark to light as they should but a few seconds later i start to notice lightroom is auto toning each thumbnail one by one. its not instant it takes a a sec or so to do each thumbnail.
    I wish to prevent that...how?
    Can anyone please help me
    on my last post I tried everything everyone suggested but for some reason thread is locked and i could not reply anymore even though it states NOT answered.

    If you haven’t already, I’d delete your LR4 preferences file, in case it is corrupt.  On my 32-bit windows system, the LR4 preferences file is in the following folder:
       C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    and is called:
      Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs
    Exit LR4, and delete this file, then restart LR4, and try importing a new, never-been-seen image file.

  • I bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

    i bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

    On which operating system are you trying to install these Adobe apps?
    Please specify the operating system name and version.
    If you have purchased new Macbook Pro, then you should have atleast Mac OSX 10.9 or later. However, i doubt you will be able to install most of these apps on it as they are pretty old apps except CS5 & Lr4.
    Still you can give it a shot and check.
    What happens when you try to install them?
    Do you get any error message? An error screenshot or full text of the error, should be helpful.

  • I need to retouch images of silver jewelry, is lightroom the software that can help me?

    I need to retouch images of silver jewelry, is lightroom the software that can help me?

    It depends on what “retouching” means.  If you mean doing image-wide adjustments making things brighter and darker or changing the color-cast across the entire image then LR is ok for that.  If it is about changing smaller areas of pixels, colorizing or cloning in other details, otherwise pushing pixels around, which is what I’d call retouching, then that’s a Photoshop operation.

  • After editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4

    after editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4 can anyone help?

    In Library, set your sort order to Filename instead of Added order and see if the files show up, then. 
    How are you doing the Save in PS, using Save or Save As—one will show up, one won’t, I think, but I don’t remember which.

  • Images won't import from Lightroom. (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6)

    Images won't import from Lightroom to be edited. There were no problems until I upgraded to Photoshop (2014). LR & Photoshop work well independently (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6). All are up-to-date.

    I had the same problem.  It seems the scripts that control the transfer of images from LR to Photoshop got deleted or messed up.  The fix I found on the LR forum was as follows:
    This solution allows you to run a repair installation without uninstalling Photoshop CC 2014. If you've already uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014, install it from the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Open the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Select the Apps tab.
    Scroll down (if necessary) until the Find New Apps section displays.
    On the same line as Find New Apps, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.
    Click the Install button next to Photoshop and select CC 2014.
    Click Yes, install this version.
    Once I did this, the interaction between LR and PS CC 2014 started working again.  I did notice that Photoshop showed up as needing to be updated in the Adobe CC application so I just clicked on the update button and after a few minutes photoshop had been updated.  The importing function still works so I think everything is OK.
    Not sure if this was part of the problem, but after updating the PS CC 2014 application  the first time, I uninstalled the original PS CC application as I didn't need it anymore.  I'm thinking that may have caused the scripts to be uninstalled along with the PS CC application.  Rerunning the installation put things back to normal.
    Hope this helps.

  • Lightroom 2.1 not opening images in cs3

    I had 2.0 and read that there was a problem open images in to photoshop so downloaded 2.1 as it said this would sort it out but I still can't open in 2.1 had no problems at all in lightroom 1.

    In case you are wondering here are the ACR updates.

    I would suggest taking CS3 up to the most current Adobe Camera Raw version and see if that fixes it.

  • Reds in my images turn orange only in Lightroom, PS CS3, and Bridge

    Hello everyone, I have yet another issue that has to do with my earlier post 2 days ago...
    For some reason, all of my images that contain the color red turn orange when they are opened in Lightroom 1.4, Photoshop CS3 10.1, or Bridge 2xxx.
    But my images with red look red on my desktop, it's just when I open them in the three products listed above- they turn orange.
    Any image that I have shot also loses its red color in the Finder view of my MacPro OSX 10.5.8.
    The images are red on the camera display after I shoot them, but when they get into my Adobe products or the Finder view of my MacPro, the reds turn orange.
    I shoot with Canon DSLR's and I am a professional photographer.
    I'm not sure what to do, I have work that needs to go to clients, but I don't think these orange reds are going to go over well.
    Anyone have any ideas on what is going on?
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks everyone

    I just did a monitor calibration with my i1display2 from gretagmacbeth.
    How do I find that out, where, what to do?
    Reds on websites, icons, and things look fine on my Apple Cinema HD 30" screen, it's just camera files that reds turn into orange

    I love Julieanne Kost’s videos.  The one on the print module did not mention some gotcha’s.  I find this module very frustrating.  I have thousands of pictures of wild horses and decided to print a few pages with photos of the right and left side of the horse to make it easier to identify the many pintos.  I made a grid of 4 x 2 cells on each page and then tried to drag and drop the photos from the film strip.  The first cell filled as expected but when I tried a different photo in the next cell it replaced the first cell’s photo!  I could not figure out what was going on.  I didn’t know you had to move the photos in the film strip to put them in the order I wanted.  I had only used the print module to print single photos and had not used collections before.  After spending a lot of time trying to find out what I was doing wrong I found out you couldn’t drag and drop in the Single image/ contact sheet layout!  This took over an hour.  I tried a different style only to find that the picture package would only use one picture.  Well, the custom package did what I wanted it to do.  Great, so now I needed to print the captions with the names of the horses and spent another hour trying to get that to print only to discover you could only do that in the Single image/ Contact sheet!  In that layout you can only have cells the same size with no mixing of portrait and landscape orientation!  Not only that, I only had a picture of one side of a few horses and couldn’t skip a cell in that layout so had to go to Photoshop and create a blank photo to use as a place holder.   I had to fill the bottom of a page with blank photos to get a new page if it didn’t want pictures in all the cells of a particular page.  This all caused me hours of frustration and pounding my head on the desk.  I tried going to the book module but couldn’t create an 8 photos per page like in the contact sheet layout. 
    Maybe you could tell us why we aren’t allowed to print captions in all of the layout styles and why we can’t drag and drop in all the layout styles in any order we want.  Why the Custom Layout style isn’t the only one.  Why all the templates supplied are not using the Custom Layout package.  Why is this so hard? 
    Thank you  -- Eric Hill

  • Bridge CS3 Workspace Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery Creator

    A while back I was looking around for an easy way to create sharp looking image galleries with minimal work, and I came across a workspace plug in for Bridge Cs3. If I remember correctly, it was labeled Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery something or another. Anyway, I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, but for the life of me I can find no trace of that handy workspace plug in. Does anyone know where I can find it? It had a bunch of customizable flash galleries as well as a customizable html gallery as well. Any help would be appreciated!

    Do you mean AMG( Adobe Media Gallery)? You could download from LAB.

  • Working with 3D images in CS3

    I just got an eval version of PS CS3 and dowloaded and opened a 3ds file.
    Pretty cool so far, but how can I map a logo to it?
    Thanks!

    >I just want to make sure I'm getting all of this. I did also notice that LuLu recommends not converting from RGB to CMYK or vice versa. Since I shoot all of my images RAW and import them into Lightroom, which is in ProPhoto RGB, then I guess that means all of my color images should be exported from Photoshop in ProPhoto RGB and my working profile in ID should also be ProPhoto RGB. Since the working space and profiles are the same in each application, the images should look the same in both. Correct?
    That's right, but again if you want to see the a preview of ProPhotoRGB converted to CMYK, you'll need to set your Proof Setup to a CMYK space. In Photoshop I edit color in RGB with Proof Colors turned on and the Proof Setup set to the destination CMYK space.
    >You were suggesting converting them to CMYK in Photoshop
    No! I was suggesting that you use a CMYK profile as your grayscale profile, which Photoshop allows. So, instead of Edit>Convert to Profile>Greyscale Gamma 2.2; you could set your Gray Working space to US Sheetfed via Color Settings>More Options>Gray>Load..., and then simply convert the RGB image to Grayscale via Mode>Grayscale. In this case your grayscale is profiled as if it were on the black plate of a CMYK file, so if you also use US Sheetfed in ID you'll get a similar preview.
    Using a CMYK profile for grayscale in PS is a nice trick, but it isn't going to make or break the jobthere will always be variation depending on how much ink density the press operator is running. If this is the first job you are sending Lulu I would follow their instructions and use 2.2 as the grayscale space, then if there's an issue you can honestly say you followed their instructions.

  • Saving edited image back to photoshop from lightroom

    In Lightroom 4 and Photoshop cs5 I could export to Photoshop from lightroom...edit....then save and the edited photo would go back to Lightroom complete with edits. Now in LR5 and CC the edited image does not go back to LR I have tried syncing no avail...any idea?

    I just recently started trying to use my Photoshop CS3, after acquiring it 3 years ago, and never quite getting around to tackling it, since I was still using good old PS v.7.0. I finally made the leap. What a shock! The CreativeSuites version is entirely different from the old versions, and, so far, impossible for me to figure out. Most of the functions I was used to are drastically reconfigured from standard PS's. (I'm going to have to get a Users' Manual or take another class.)
    One thing I DID figure out is the function you are questioning. Export a downloaded iPhoto shot - from your iPhoto - to the desktop; Open Photoshop and open the iPhoto shot (will be in the Preview mode) in Photoshop, save as a Photoshop tiff,  and do whatever editing, retouching, etc. in Photoshop. Save, and then from iPhoto, import - fom desktop - back into iPhoto Library.
    If anyone know where i can get a comprehensive (beginners") manual on how to use the CreativeSuite version of Photoshop, please communicate! (After 3 years, I can't locate any manual that may have come with the software and there is no PDF version that I can find on line. I am completely mystified.)
