Photoshop "compatible save" and Lightroom

I have tons and tons of Photoshop CS files saved *without* the compatibility option, which render them incompatible with Lightroom. Is there a quick way to "compatible save" all of these files without me having to do it by hand? I currently only have Photoshop CS.
Thanks in advance,
Howard.

Plus, if you save it as a PS Droplet, you can put it as an icon on your desktop and drag and drop groups of files onto it -- a nice advantage over a batch process.

    Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

    You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

  • Does Photoshop Elements 10 and Lightroom 5 share common "Catalog"?

    Does Photoshop Elements 10 and Lightroom 5 share common "Catalog"?

    To put it simply - no but Lightroom can import from the Elements Organizer.

  • Photoshop cc 2014 and lightroom doesn't work

    Hi,
    I need your help.
    Installed Photoshop and Lightroom as trial today.
    Since 5 hrs I try to make them work and I am close of loosing my patience.
    I have a laptop, windows 7, 64 bit.
    Updated all the drivers.
    Installed and deinstalled the products couple times.
    Signed in and out of the cloud. And still having the same problem:
    PS starts up normal and after few seconds just closes.
    No error message. Then the message if I still want to use my trial pops up.
    Lightroom doesn't start at all. After few seconds the trial message showes up.
    What can I do?
    I need the PS for my work.
    Checked the crash reports and fixed the driver.
    Also checked the aministrativ status.
    Checked also numerous help from other users with the same issue and also YouTube.
    Still having the problem.
    Thank you for your help.

    None of my "Edit In" worked with the pictures in Lightroom for a particular folder. I expanded the 2014 folder and found that two subfolders had a "?" in front of the 2014-07-04" and another. In other words, the folder was missing. After I found the missing folders using the Lightroom "Find Missing Folder" option, I was able to use the "Edit In" menu item. The 2014 folders weren't expanded at first, so I didn't see the ? marks in front of them. With the missing folders, Lightroom's "Edit In" option was basically telling me there was no picture to "Edit In." Howerver, I have Previews and Smart Previews made when I import picture files into Lightroom. So, the "pictures" showed in the slide strip on the bottom, and also in the display in "expand," but it was actually only showing the previews I had built, not the actual missing pictures in the missing folders. I had accidentally moved some directories using Windows Explorer, and I didn't realize my "happy fingers" moved them outside of Lightroom. Of course, Lightroom has no way of knowing I moved them, and just shows the "?" before the missing folder name. After expanding the root folder, then knew what to do. Fixed it easily. It was frustrating, and took about 20 minutes to see the problem. And that fixed the greyed-out "Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014, and all the other plug-ins were greyed out too.
    Hope this fixes your problem.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.6

    Does any one know if it is possible to import star ratings from Photoshop Elements Organizer into Lightroom? I did some rating of images in Photoshop Elements Organizer then imported the images into my Lightroom 5.6 catalog. Unfortunately, the star rating didn't import. The keywords imported. I don't understand why the keywords imported but the star ratings didn't. Do I need to import the Organizer catalog into Lightroom to get the star ratings?

    Usually that means that lightroom sent over the photo in 16 bits/channel and you want 8 bits/channel in order to use layers in photoshop elements.
    After you open the image from lightroom into photoshop elements you can go Image>Mode and click on 8 bits/channel
    or in the Lightroom Preferences (Edit)>External Editing set the Bit Depth to 8 bits/component

  • Will Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4 support conversation of RAW files from a Nikon D800?

    I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 9 and must convert RAW files from my Nikon D800 to .dng files before processing using a added converted.  I'm considering upgrading to either Elements 11 or Lightroom 4 but want to know if either of these programs will support the nikon D800 RAW files without having to go through this extra cumbersome step.   Additionally, if I do go with Lightroom 4, will the transition be easy or difficult and what problems might I encounter?

      Yes the D800 is fully supported in both applications.
    You would certainly benefit in processing your 36mp raw files using Lightroom if you have a 64bit PC or Mac with additional memory (RAM). The Lightroom develop module is where you do all the editing and you get the benefit of the full CS6 raw engine in an intuitive interface.
    If you regularly use the Elements Organizer you should understand Lightroom quite easily.
    Why not download the free trial of LR4 and test for 30 days.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom transfer/sharing problem

    I'm new to Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 12.   I open a Lightroom image in Photoshop Elements 12 by using Photo-->Edit In--> PSE12.  I make a change in PSE12, and then "save."  I understand that I'm supposed to overwrite the default file name.  But, when I go back to LR, my PSE changes are not saved.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have LR 5 and PSE 12 and the interaction works fine for me. When I select the Edit in PSE option in LR, a TIFF file is created in LR, which is then being opened in PSE. Once done with editing in PSE, I choose Save, which brings me the overwrite file dialog and the TIFF file save settings dialog (compression, etc.) afterwards. Once saved, the TIFF is visible in LR with the changes.
    Here's a question - when you open the TIFF file you just saved from PSE in PSE again, do you see the changes ? If not, the problem is in PSE not saving the changes correctly.
    If you do, the problem is with the file not being shown properly in LR. Check the file structure in an external tool (Windows explorer or Finder). Do you see the TIFF file ? Is there only one or perhaps some others with the beginning of the file name ? What is the file save date on the TIFF(s) ? That might give a clue as to what can be wrong with the process.

  • Photoshop CS3 Save and Save As Dialog box not working

    I can't do a "save as" or "save for web" in photoshop cs3. The dialog box opens and I can't change anything but the file type pull down menu (and sometimes not even that). This problem happens sporadically.... but most of the time it doesn't work.
    I have re-installed Photoshop cs3 but I still have the same problem.
    Photoshop CS3 10.0.1
    MacPro 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory : 4GB
    Mac OS 10.5.8
    Please Help

    I'm seeing exactly this same problem with Photoshop CS3  after the upgrade to 10.5.8. It appears that the dialog box never gets focus for "Save for Web and Devices" -- the title bar of the dialog is grayed out, while the main "Save for Web and Devices" panel still has focus.  That means there's no way to clear the dialog, since the panel is waiting for it to return, but the dialog can't get any input.  None of the standard resets work for any length of time.  I seem to remember similar problems in a much earlier release of Mac OS X, but I can't be sure.  Quite annoying.

  • Using Photoshop CS4/CS5 and Lightroom 2/3 on Win 7 vs OSX

    I do NOT want to re-ignite the no-win discussion of pc vs mac. Now that CS5 is announced, yet again as I preprare to upgrade from CS4, I ask if I should convert fromWin7 64-bit on a PC to MAC Pro running OSX. I currently run a WIN 7 64-bit PC with 8 GB Ram. I would consider buying a MAC PRO with 8 GB RAM. The machine(s) are used strictly for image processing, no general office work or general internet surfing except as relates to supporting my software, etc. 
    I don't want to discuss PC vs MaC but I would like to understand the limits, advantages/disadvantages of one platform vs the other as specifically relates to CS4/CS5 and/or Lightroom 2/3. In other words are there functions or processes that I can do on one platform and not the other, or do better on one compared to the other, not does one cost more than the other any comments or help?? Mike

    As a casual user of CS products, I find no substantive differences between using them on a Mac vs. PC. I can cross post this question over to the Photoshop forum (originally posted to the Photoshop.com web site forum, which is not just about the desktop app).
    It's probably going to become a Mac vs. PC discussion, since the question is inherently 'which is better', but hopefully people will remain objective and constructive!

  • Problem of color spaces when i switch between photoshop cc 2014 and lightroom 5.7. where to ask

    hallo,
    where can we ask questions on photoshop cc 2014 tools ?
    i have a prophoto nef in lightroom which is retouched.
    i edit in photoshop cc to make a selection and come back to lightroom with a huge psd.
    it says color space of photoshop is not correct and advises prophoto. i say yes.
    first one day i lost the pen tool mask when i wanted to re-edit from lightroom. fortunately the version of psd on hard disk was ok. never understood what happened
    second is i want to open a jpg background on my hard disk, perhaps srgb, in photoshop and add the selection.
    how to manage color spaces because my colors of the selection or the background become ugly
    not sure i still need to use lightroom for this step. bridge or photoshop itselfs can open files,...
    best regards
    marc

    That's great, but what exactly did it - matrix (gamma) profiles instead of LUT? It would be good to know for future reference.
    I have seen small problems with LUT profiles in Firefox, like black clipping up to value 6 or 7, but Lightroom seems to behave well with LUT profiles here. The problem with LUT profiles is that they are "heavier" and more complex, because they contain complete tables for all possible transformations - whereas matrix profiles do it by much simpler mathematical formulae. LUT is more accurate, but matrix simpler and more reliable.
    Not that I think accuracy is a problem with Eizo CGs. Which is why it's a bit puzzling that ColorNavigator has LUT as default. I use mostly matrix targets these days, my feeling is that the simpler the profile, the better.

  • Photoshop CC subscribed and lightroom 5 cannot be activated.

    Can anyone out there help me. I have subscribed the photoshop CC in Dec 2013 and the deal is that I can use lightroom 5 as well. However, after the 30 days of trial period of the lightroom 5, it wont activate anymore and asking me to purchase it. I don't know what to do and there is no help desk at Adobe that I can email to ask for assistance.

    Thank you Simon,
    I think I installed the Lr 5 prior to the Ps CC. When i open the Creative Cloud Apps, I can see Lr 5 on the list
    When you say you can see it in the list - which list?  The Adobe CC app (under the "Apps" tab) shows two lists: at the top: "your apps", i.e. those it thinks are installed, and below that "Find new apps", i.e. those you haven't installed.  Any apps you've installed via CC (e.g. Photoshop) will show in the top list. 
    If you haven't installed it via CC, but prior to CC, then it should show LR in the lower list, with an "Install" button next to it.  Go ahead and click "Install", and it will install LR5.3 replacing your exiting one, but preserving any settings, and more importanly: setting the licence to the CC licence.  You won't have to enter any licence number, the CC app does it when it installs LR.
    If, for some reason, it shows in the top list as Installed, but when you run LR it's still the trial licence, then I suggest you uninstall LR (via Control panel if you using a PC - not sure for a Mac).  Then you may have to reboot and restart the Adobe CC app, and it should show LR now in the lower list with an "Install" button next to it. 
    If this isn't what you see, then something else is confused with your account, so I reckon a phone call or chat session with Adobe might be called for. 

  • Moving photoshop elements 12 and lightroom 5 from windows machine to a Mac Pro

    Is it possible to transfer licence from the windows machine to the mac?
    The Lightroom version does appear to be a windows/mac version but the serial number won't activate the product.
    The Photoshop Elements was actually a windows version so perhaps that is more excusable.
    But is one really expected to either buy this software again or just forget about them all together?

    For Lightroom and Elements your license covers both Mac and Windows.  You do need to install the appropriate version in each case however.  I Windows version will not work on a Mac, and vice versa.
    If you continue to have a problem you should contact Adobe support thru chat... Start Here  If after selecting relevant responses you are unable to find a solution, choose "Still need help? Contact us." and the chat contact option.
