Photos no longer stacking after Photoshop Edit

I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 running on a Mac. I have the box checked to stack edited with originals.
I recently moved all of my photos to a an external Raid 1 drive - I did this within Lightroom, so that Lightroom knew where everything was. Everything seemed to be fine.
Today, I realized that after going to Photoshop and coming back into Lightroom, my photos are not stacking. Not only are they not stacking, but according to Lightroom they are not in the same folder, even though they are.
I am not working from a collection, I am working from the actual folder structure on the drive. If I go to photoshop, edit, save and come back, when it returns to Lightroom, where normally the new edited Tiff would pop up - now it returns a black screen, saying "no photo selected". If I go to the library module, the screen is still black. If I go the top of Lightroom and click on "All Photographs" the tiff file is there next to the picture. However, it is not stacked. If I try to stack it, it says that it can't stack photos that are stored in different folders.
I don't know where Lightroom is putting this Tiff file. The folder that I was editing from had 20 photos in it. I went into photoshop, came back with a tiff, and there are still only 20 photos in the folder, yet if I go up to all photos, it is there, so Lightroom put it somewhere.
When I go look at my external hard drive, the tiff file is there. It is right next the raw. In the same folder. So, it seems that Photoshop is putting it back in the right folder, but Lightroom is not.
Thanks,
Pam

Okay, just realized that it is putting the tiff files in a another copy of the Gmax Mini. You can see in the screen shot that it has my working drive, and then a second version of the Gmax Mini, with just the Tiff files in it! Is this because it is a Raid 1?

Preview Update after Photoshop Editing

I would think this would be a common question but I can't find the answer.
After I edit a photo from iPhoto 09 in photoshop, the preview of the photo in iPhoto does not update. I can double click on the photo and see the edits but when I zoom back out it goes back to the original state.
Any ideas on how to correct?
Thanks!

Be sure you're using Photoshop correctly from wihtin iPHoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Photos don't get back into lightroom 2 after photoshop edit?

Hi,
I'm on a mac, using LR1 for work, and testing LR2 trial. CS3 installed.
This is a really strange thing. I've searched the net, watched tutorial videos, and it still doesn't work for me....
When I'm done developing my photos, and want to take them to Photoshop - I right click, edit in CS3, do my editing, save (not save as) and close the photo. Now in LR1, and according to all the help I find - the new psd file should show up in my library, either in a stack, or next to my RAW file. Well, it doesn't.... The only way to get my psd edits back in to my catalog is to to a "synchronize folder" - which is really bad workflow... Anybody else with this problem?! I don't find any Adobe fixes, and can't see what other ways I could try now..
Hope somebody can spread some light. Thanks!
/Kasper

I'm getting this as well. I'd really like to know how to fix it.
I note that Photoshop titles the window "filename.cr2", rather than "filename-edit.psd" as before. I also don't get the 1.x dialog "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments [etc]". But I only get this when editing (Canon .CR2) RAW files. If I re-edit a PSD, I get the dialog, then all is as with 1.x.

Exposure and lens distortion slightly different after photoshop edit

I'm pretty new to Lightroom and Photoshop, I have a pretty good understanding of Lightroom but not much with Photoshop yet. I opened a photo that I edited the way I want including lens correction, exposure, etc. from lightroom into photoshop, did some editing with the patch tool to fill in some bare grass area on an exterior shot, then saved photoshop file as psd file in photoshop, then closed file and went back to lightroom, the photo seams to have a slightly different lens distortion not the way I want and different exposure compared to my original edited raw image. Why is this happening? why does photoshop slightly change the lens distortion?

Is LR applying lens distortion, again, by default, perhaps also vignetting correction which would change the exposure especially in the corners?
Most lens profiles that contain information about geometric and vignetting corrections are for raw files only, but a few also have non-raw versions. it is possible that your LR defaults say to apply lens corrections whenever a file is imported and for the lens you're using there are both raw and non-raw lens profiles.
A simple way to tell if this is occurring is to go to the Lens Corrections / Profile tab and see if Enable Profile Corrections is checked or not, and if it is, turn it off and see if the image is more the same as the original raw + your PS patch work.

Premiere Pro CS4 Crashes After Photoshop edit.................

hi,
whenever i edit and save a .psd file from my timeline premiere crashes in the middle of updating the .psd file... can anyone help?

Deacon,
Along with the DirectX update, did you install anything else?
After your installation of the DirectX update, did you also update your video and your audio drivers? If not, that would be my first thing to try. Both of those drivers can be rendered obsolete in a heartbeat, and because PrPro interfaces more closely with those, than nearly any other program, it will fail, while simple players, etc. still function.
Good luck,

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues. I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Keeping 1 photo selected for printing AFTER editing

I still haven't adapted comfortably to iPhoto '08, because it's hard to change one of my iPhoto habits. Previously, after selecting a photo to edit, I'd click DONE and then go straight to File>Export or File>Print to output the edited photo. With iPhoto '08, no photo is selected after clicking DONE, but my habit is still to go straight to File>Export or File>Print anyway. Only after the export or print process begins, with a report that iPhoto has 86 photos to transfer, do I remember that iPhoto 08 acts as if the entire album or event has been selected after an Edit session--even if I only edited a single photo.
Software design should be incremental, not decremental, for the workflow to become more efficient. I think Apple knows this, so it must be something I'm overlooking. A preference setting, maybe? Can anyone offer a suggestion so that I don't waste more time (and photo paper and photo ink) having to reverse an ingrained habit? I'm a semipro photographer and this habit has been established over several years and versions of iPhoto, with thousands of images. Photoshop is great for only a portion of my photos...iPhoto can do the basics better and faster.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

I hardly ever use the Events mode, but I tried it just now. The yellow selection box stays after editing in Events mode, so it works there.
I went back into Photos mode, double-clicked on a photo to edit, just clicked Done without doing any editing, and the single photo stayed selected. It's when I actually do something (rotate, enhance, straighten, adjust, etc.) that clicking Done gets me back to the thumbnails without the yellow selection box.
The more I think about it, the more I think the iPhoto app and/or one of its components has gotten corrupted. Now, if I can only find my iLife '08 DVD to re-install iPhoto, I'll let you know what happens. In the meantime, I'm going to try removing preferences to see if the problem lies in a plist file somewhere.
Thanks for the great ideas! Appreciated.

Photos look different on distilled pdf than photoshop edit

I have a customer who prints her tabloid with us> Yesterday she sent a couple screen shots to show me the difference in her black and white photos
that she edits in photoshop compared to that edited pic on the finished pdf which she then sends to me.
She is concerned because the photo in photoshop after she edits it to what she wants it to look like looks considerably lighter on the pdf.
Anyone know what causes this?
thanks

It all depends on the print condition, the accuracy of the ICC profiles, and the accuracy of the display (the monitor needs to be properly calibrated and profiled).
Black ink only can print pretty dark and rich using a sheetfed press and a #1 coated sheet. So much depends on the characteristics of the paper and the solid black ink density. Still, no halftone can ever print as deep as a black and white image using CMYK, or 2 hits of black.
Generally speaking the default dot gain 20 is not the most accurate profile for grayscale. The absolute best course of action is to obtain a CMYK profile from the printer or get them to recommend one. Then a grayscale profile can be generated from this CMYK very easily. If you are interested I can tell you how.

Why does the size of my photos reduce to 0mb after editing in iPhoto?

Please bear with me here. I am a new Mac user (MacBook Pro, 2008, OSX 10.7.5), as well as not the most technologically competent person in the world, so I might need a little patience and additional questions to help me understand everything!
After a recent trip to Europe, I imported photos that I had taken with two different cameras into iPhoto ('09, version 8.1.2). All the photos that I took with my Canon Rebel t2i DSLR have not had the problem I'm about to describe, in the past or with photos from this trip. The problem has been only from pictures that I took and uploaded from my husband's Nikon Coolpix L610 point and shoot. Not sure if this will matter, but the mode I was shooting in was 16M (4608x3456) which appears to be the "best" quality for this camera.
As I was going through my photos and editing them (mostly minor edits, cropping, straightening, enhancing, altering the sharpness/exposure/definition/saturation), I noticed the size of my photos decreasing, as described in the information box in the lower left hand corner of the screen. With at least 30+ pictures of the ones I have tried editing (this isn't counting the hundreds more that I have yet to start editing), the file size dropped to 0MB, some after one edit as simple as straightening, others taking 2 or more minor edits to drop to 0. The picture is still there in the multiphoto view (in Photos section under Library), but if I try to click on the picture to view it larger, it just shows up as a black screen.
For example, one picture I have showed a size of 4608 x 3456 and 7.6 MB. When I did one edit (enhance photo), the 4608 x 3456 stayed the same, but the 7.6MB changed to 0KB. For others, it will decrease some with one edit, then drop down to 0 if I do additional edits. Most of my pictures are in the 4-10MB range in their original form (no edits). I'm assuming that I was shooting in jpeg mode, since that's what they uploaded as. (I've read on here of other people shooting in RAW mode and such, but I don't even think this camera has that capability). I read some other boards with similar questions, but not the exact same problem as I'm facing. I know that there is "jpeg compression" with jpeg files when editing.
So I guess my question is this: Is there anything I can do to stop this reduction down to 0? I will only be printing out a few of these pictures, and most in a 4x6 or 5x7 size. I'm more concerned with being able to post them to Facebook for my family, who lives far away. When the file size is 0KB, it won't upload because it doesn't even register as there being a picture and if I try it anyway, it gives me an error message, something along the lines of not supporting this format (or something similar, has been a couple days since I last tried).
I read something one of the similar boards that mentioned saving the edited photos as TIFF files, but it also mentioned that that takes up a lot more disk space, which I'm not sure if I want to (or have the space to) do. (Side question: If I did check the box in Preferences --->Advanced "Save edits as 16-bit TIFF files, would that do that to every picture in my library that I have edited?)
As I said, I'm new to this whole Mac stuff (been using it for just under a year, given to me by my brother-in-law after my computer died), so please use as much layman lingo as possible! And thank you in advance for anyone that can give me any insight and/or advice!

None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures. Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
No, that's just wasting space. A back up needs to be on a different disk.
Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

My photo albums are no longer alphabetical after ios5 update

I upgraded my Ipad 2 & ipod touch 4g to ios 5. My photo albums which sync to photoshop elements are no longer alphabetical which now makes it a pain to locate photos. What can I do?

The contacts is saved on Google or Backup Assistance (Whichever you are using) and you can use ES File Explorer like I posted at http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/Simple-way-to-Backup-apps-for-Hard-Reset/td-p/658707 , so you really wont loose anything but apps data...
BUT, I am not saying that you do this if that is your only issue... I was just pointing out that this is a good ideal to do with any Major Updates..
If the contacts isnt linked again you should get the option to link them again once the OS boots, normally it checks and then prompt to link again..

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

how do i get my photos back on usb after editing. i used export but after checking my photos were not back on usb?

You're really going to need to explain that. What's "USB"? Do you mean a Disk, Drive or volume connected by USB? How is your iphoto set up? What version are you using?
