Photo Layers won't open in element 12, from Lightroom 5

I have tried exporting photos into elements as layers (From Lightroom) , once elements opens, nothing is showing. Curious if I am doing something wrong. If I just open the photos in elements and put them as layeres manually, it works fine. I was just under the assumption I could do it from light room as well.(the option is given hence the assumption) just as a sidenote I did change output from 16-8 bit in preferences, that didn't fix anything, just read that on another site

Ok, what is your operating system and the exact Lightroom version...
Also what does it show in Preferences under External Editing:

Image won't open in Elements 10 from "Photo/Edit In" in LR4

I hope someone can help. I recently got a new BIG MAC, and have been loading my software.
The external editing preference to Elements 10 from Lightroom 4 will open Photoshop Elements, but will not open the image... I've reinstalled elements, reinstalled the preference, rebooted multiple times....
Please help...Thank you!

You've probably chosen the logical file instead of the correct file as your external editor:

Photo won'[t open in elements 5

i have been successfully using elements 5 since it came out ( last with xp). I recently upgraded to vista, downloaded/installed the patch and have been successfully using elements 5 for about a month. however now it has started to open as normal but when I try to open a photo it just keeps acting like it is loading but the photo doesn't open( have left it go on for 5-10 min). if I go to the top bar (for closing etc) it stops responding. I can open the same files from lightroom 2 ( had that about 3+ weeks) but if I try to export them to elements they won't open there, it just keeps acting like it is working( it worked fine before). this is for all photos,those on my c and external drives( can open them otherwise just not in elements)
I have tried to repair elements, uninstalled and reinstalled twice and still can't open any photos. any ideas? a few days ago i installed the lightroom 2 update( .1 i think) but the lightroom seems to be working fine so don't really think that is doing it..otherwise haven't downloaded anything new. Thanks

Hi Janet,
Are you working on Editor/Organizer. You might want to delete the preferences file - you can do this by launching the welcome screen, hold Shift+Alt+Control and click on Editor button. You would be prompted to delete the preferneces file and click ok. It might now work for you.
You mentioned that Elements worked fine for a month and is not working now?
Since you have tried re-installing and freezing error help, and the above workaround does not work for you, you could try doing a system restore which should help.
Cheers.

Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

*.cr2 won't open in Elements 10

I have just downloaded Elements 10, and to my disappointment, the .cr2-files from my Canon 60d won't open in Elements.
I have installed Camera Raw 6.5.0.216 and that did not help ... Can anyone assist?:-)

The EOS 60D only requires ACR 6.2; so 6.5 should definitely provide support for your CR2 files.
Can you check that the plug-in has actually installed correctly.

Why would this be covered under warranty? There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device.

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.

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.

Photoshop Elements 11 Photo Editor won't open, trial info keeps popping up

Okay, I own Photoshop Elements 11 but the Photo Editor refuses to open. When I click it, a pop up shows up for the trial version of PSE 11 saying I should buy it. I already have the lisence for PSE11 so i don't know what the problem is. (Also Organizer works but won't upload images and I tried the CRT+shift+Alt things but the delete preferences popup doesn't show.)
I might have deleted a plug-in or something by accident, not sure if that would effect it but I did a systems restore.

I don't want to re-install because my account says I can't.
What exactly is the message you're getting?

When I take a photo and try to edit in Photoshop Elements 11 from Lightroom 4, it brings me to PSE 11 and opens the photo in there, but doesn't allow me to do anything - no layers, masks...anything.

I work on a PC - Windows Vista, and currently use Lightroom 4. When I try to choose the 'edit in' option and go to PSE11, it will go there and open the file, but it won't let me do anything with it. All the buttons/masks...etc are faded out and when I scroll over them a circle with a line through it comes up. Is there any way to fix this so that when I edit-in from Lightroom to PSE11 that I can actually use it? And if not, how should I save my files then so I can re-open them in PSE11? Would they need to be JPEGs, or something else? I shoot in RAW.
Thanks in advance!

Hillsitter,
I use a Windows PC and PSE Version 8.
However, I set up the link to PSE by going to Edit > Preferences and
clicking on the External Editing Tab.
I then clicked on the 'Choose' box and browsed to > Program Files > Adobe >
Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I then clicked on the Elements Organiser 8.0.exe
file to create the Link to the Elements Organiser. I could have linked to
the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe file.
I know this will be somewhat different on a Mac but the principle should be
the same i.e. link directly to the .exe file.
I hope this helps.

Web photo gallery won't open on internet... why?

I hope someone can help me with this.
I always made slideshows with Photoshop until I got Elements. The newest version of Photoshop does not have that option anymore.
I made a web photo gallery with elements, put it up in Dreamweaver, made a link, tested it on three browsers and it all worked perfectly.
I then uploaded it all to a server.
When I go to the page on internet, the link takes me to the index of the photo gallery but the slideshow does not open. It seems like the index file does not open the resource folder.
I have compared the site on my computer with the site on the server and everything is exactly the same. The photo gallery is on th server with the index file and resource folder.
I can't understand why the photo gallery doesn't behave on internet like it does on my computer.
Can anyone explain this to me?
I really like the way the new photo gallery looks compared with the slideshow made with my older version of Photoshop and would like to use it. Plus the fact that I can control the speed of the slideshow on Elements is a real boon.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I will try to be as explicate as possible.
This is a site that I maintain for a marathon. This is the 10th year. The participants contribute a series of photos that I have always made into slide shows.
I have a page that references slideshows from 2009 for example. I made these photos into slideshows using Photoshop CS3. The different folders are called "Slideshow xxx" with the corresponding index file. When I link to the index file in a certain folder the slideshow opens in a blank page and wonderful.
Now, this year, I have done the same thing using Element with the results I mention in my origiinal message: the photo gallery does not open in any browser in spite of being linked to the index file in the web photo gallery I created with Element.
What happens when I go to the index file is simply nothing. I do not get an error message.
You can see for yourself by going to
http://www.el-ocejon.com/fotos%202010.html
and clicking on either of the two last options (the first links to a picasa page that is not a problem).
The solution is simple: create a slideshow using Photoshop CS3 and forget the whole thing. But I would like to know what the problem is here and why I cannot get the photo gallery created with Elements to work on the internet.
Or is this a "two steps forward and one step back" issue with Photoshop?

Photos update won't open past the "preparing library" page

iPhoto just updated to Photo 2015. I can't get to my pictures because the app won't open past the "preparing library" page.
The iPhoto update, under Apps, won't let me resume the update - I get an error "this item is temporarily unavailable".
Any ideas?

Hi wolfey_j
Welcome to apple discussions.
Drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash followed by a full restart of your mac and then repair permissions from apple's disc utility (application > utilities > disc utility)
The plist for iDvd looks like this:
com.apple.iDvd.plist
If that fails to resolve this issue then delete iDvd using this free download from apple's web site:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appdelete.html
You'll need to re-install iDvd again (custom install from the software that shipped with your mac or any retail copy of iLife'09). And lastly run apple's software updater from system preferences so all is up to date again. (not a bad idea to repair permissions one more time after updating all apps.)
Hope this resolves the issue/s but if not just come on back.
Good luck.

Elements 6.0 won't open RAW *nef files from Nikon D40 - help!

I tried to open *nef files from a D40. Even though I selected RAW files in the open file menu, AE6 gives me an error message and won't open the files.
How can I get these files to open with AE6?

Hmm, that usually indicates that you need to get a newer version of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in. But according to this tech note:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
the D40 needs at least ACR 3.7. PSE 6 ships with 4.2, so you should be able to open them.
I suggest following the troubleshooting steps in this tech note, which will likely have you update your ACR:

.pse multi-page document created in Elements 6 won't open in Elements 12.

Recently upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12 from version 6 (Mac). When I try to open a .pse multiple page document created in 6, I get the error message "can not open this multiple page document".

The only workaround i can think of offhand is to open the individual files that make up the pse into photoshop elements 12.
Right click on the pse file and click on Show Package Contents
Then in the finder window that opens you should see a folder with the individual psd files inside.
Those psd files should then open in the pse 12 editor.
