Photoshop Images Transferred from Lightroom

Each time that I try to transfer an image from LR 4.1 to PSCS6 the transferred image shows blocky areas of transparency. (See the attached image for an example). These are not permanent in the image and sometimes go away when you change the View. With this one, I can't make it disappear. I tried using Bridge to open the image in ACR and then PSCS6 and there are no such problems. My normal workflow is Import to Lightroom and then Edit in Photoshop, when necessary. With some more testing, it seems that this effect happens only when Photoshop is not loaded, but is loaded when invoked from LR. If PS is up and running, then the pictures transfer normally. However, many times, I use Photoshop to edit a picture and then close it until I need it again.Note this is Win 7x64

Save as DNG in Photoshop when editing from Lightroom

When transfering from Lightroom 2 to Photoshop CS3 (Windows) and after editing as a smart object in Photoshop how do I save the file back into Lightroom as a DNG file

You cannot save DNG files from photoshop. This is because DNG lacks the support for the features you need.

Image not being opened in Photoshop cc 2014 from Lightroom

I am using the latest lightroom and photoshop. When I go to an image in lightroom and right click, select edit in Photoshop cc 2014, it opens Photoshop straight away but it does not pass the image along... Any suggestions?

I've tried everything I can think of to no avail. It takes several minutes now to load an image from Lightroom into PS CC 2014. PS CC 2014 is already open. I just noticed a pattern. If I edit a file (TIFF) format that has already been edited in PS and saved back to Lightroom, it loads very quickly. However, if I am trying to process a RAW file, that is when I notice a significant lag time.furth
SUCCESS!!! Upon further investigation and seeing issues from other members regarding RAW cache issues I decided to move my RAW cache file path in LR to a different drive. That seemed to fix the last issue. I think the drive I had selected is going bad. So the reinstall fixed my integration issues between LR and PS CC 2014 (thanks to everybody who suggested that) and changing my RAW cache file path seems to have fixed the last of my performance issues. Now to reinstall my plugins and get back to editing my clients' images!

Photoshop is changing the name of images imported from Lightroom.

Today I sent a batch of photos to Photoshop from Lightroom (via the Edit In menu selection). When I completed the work in Photoshop I selected SAVE, as I always do, only the photos are returning to Lightroom with a new file name instead of the same name (as always in the past) with a .psd suffix. Has there been a change to Photoshop CC I am not aware of. Both programs are up-to-date.

Thanks for looking at my problem. When I looked carefully at the new name (thanks dj for telling me to do that) I realized that the name had parts of what I had added as a preset and applied in External Editing. What appears to have happened is that my original preset was corrupted and dropped out the part that told it to use the original file name. I have repaired it and now all is well. Thanks for the responses and the help! Much appreciated.

Images sent from Lightroom 5 won't appear in Elements 12

About one month ago I've bought and installed on my computer Photoshop Elements 12. However since then I had never launched the programme, which I did for the first time yesterday by trying to send five TIFF shots from Lightoroom 5.4 to Elements (Photo > Edit in > Merge to HDR in Photoshop).
Elements did open but the five images were not displayed. The same exact thing has happened when I've tried to send from Lightroom to Elements six other shots to merge to Panorama.
I'm working on a brand new computer with Windows 7. The operating system and both Adobe softwares have the latest updates installed.
Could the problem be that I've waited too long before launching Elements after having installed it? When the program opened for the first time yesterday it appeared a message which read that the first launch should have happened within 7 days from installation and never during the process I was asked to input the software's serial numbers (is this the way it's supposed to be?).
Do you think that I should uninstall Elements and start from scratch all over again?

Have you set up the PSE12 Editor correctly in Lightroom?
If not click Edit >> Preferences from the Library and then choose the External Editing tab. Then click on the choose button under the additional editor section and navigate to the editor.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12
Make sure you choose the application and not a shortcut (see image below) and select 8 bit tiff as your pref (not 16 bit images)
You can’t use merge to HDR with Elements. That function only works with Photoshop CC or Creative Suits. But you can choose a thumbnail in the LR Library and open it for editing in PSE12 by pressing Ctrl+E or using Edit In >> Photoshop Elements 12 Editor.

OpenGL issue when launching Photoshop CS5 Extended from Lightroom?

I noticed about 2 weeks ago that the scrubby zoom and rotate commands stopped working. Obviously OpenGL was not
enabled and was greyed out, not letting me enable it. I have a 295GTX video card with dual GPU's and I have updated all drivers NVidia 280.26. When I went through the Adobe troubleshoot doc I reset my preferences/defaults by holding <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT> when launching Photoshop and it allows me to enable it. I can even open a bunch of images and everything works but only if I open them FROM within Photoshop. If I pick an image from Lightroom (Latest Version) and launch it to photoshop it will not allow me to run OpenGL features any longer and the only way I can get it to work again is to reset it doing the <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT> move.
Any suggestions or knowlege of issues / bugs?

As a temporary workaround, you can uninstall the driver and try using an earlier release. Sometimes they break new things with new releases.

No direct access to Photomerge in Photoshop Elements 12 from Lightroom 5.2

Hi,
I just installed PE12 on my IMac (OS 10.8.5) and can not access directly the Photomerge module from Lightroom 5.2: the corresponding menu lines are inactive (dark grey).
On the other hand, I cant open the files in Elements from LR, and once there, the Photomerge module works properly.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
JM

Hi JM
Launch LR and on the top menu go to:
Lightroom >> Preference >> External Editing
Under Additional External Editor click the Choose button and make sure you navigate to the application and not an alias for the welcome screen.
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files
In the Support Files Folder choose:
Photoshop Elements 12 Editor
Then select images in the Lightroom Library and use Cmd+E selecting either PSD or Tiff + Lightroom Develop Adjustments. Also choose 8 bits and not 16 bits as PSE has very little functionality with 16 bit images.

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.

Edit in photoshop image opens without Lightroom adjustments.

Images opened edit in in photoshop do not have the auto adjustment made in Lightroom but brush adjustments made do appear, When i close the picture in Photoshop and open it for a second time all the adjustments are there.
also the same thing happens to some of my exported images. I have removed and reinstalled both Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5 also on the cloud..
Pulling my hair our here trying to find an answer to this problem

Try removing the preference file: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html

DNG files will not open in photoshop when launched from lightroom

This just started, I can't open DNG files in photoshop when launching from within lightroom. Not sure how to fix this. the dng files launch fine from bridge.

As for your issue with DNGs in CS, did you bother to update ACR to version 2.4?
See the detailed instructions on the download page.
>What I need to know is whether or not my PS CS will work with files converted by Adobe DNG.
Of course ACR will, if you correctly install Adobe Camera Raw 2.4.
No version of Photoshop opens raw or DNG files, only ACR does, hosted by Photoshop. But you do need at least version 2.4 of ACR, which was the first to support DNGs.

Image Change When Transferred from Lightroom to PS (?Camera Profile)

I am having difficulty that I think is related to Camera RAW that I hope I can get some help with.
I updated to v7.2 today, but I think the problem started today before the update. I get the image looking great in Lightroom and then either send to Edit in PS or to Open as Smart Object in PS (it doesn't matter, same results) and the image looks awful. If I open the smart object in PS it opens in Camera RAW and when I look at all the Camera RAW settings they are all exactly the same as the Lightroom 4.2 settings until I get down to the camera calibration settings. In Lightroom it is set to Process 2012 with Adobe Standard as the profile. In Camera RAW it is Process 2012 but the profile is simply listed as 'Matrix' with no other choices available in the drop down. In Lightroom, Adobe Standard and all the camera profiles are available for what I am shooting with, a Canon 5D MKII which I have used for years. As recently as a day or two ago I did not have this problem (though I never looked to see what the Camera Raw profile was when it was coming over to PS correctly), though I suspect it may be the source of the problem since all the other settings are identical
Any help would be very appreciated as I can no longer work with images until this is corrected.
Thanks very much,
Howard

Perhaps this is a clue to the problem? If I go to Program Data>Adobe>Camera RAW> Camera Profiles > there is a folder called Camera and another Adobe Standard. Within the Adobe Standard Folder are Adobe Standard files for multiple cameras including the Canon 5D MKIII, but inexplicably there is not one for the MKII. Likewise, the Camera folder contains folders labeled with different cameras. There is a folder for the Canon 5D MKIII that contains the profiles (neutral, landscape etc) but there is NO folder for the 5d MKII. What gives here? Is this the problem? If so how does one fix it?

How to export & email images transferred to lightroom from a disk

I loaded some old, saved images I have on disk to Lightroom. When I attempt to export the image to email, the command states It can't locate the mage, even though I am looking at it. What am I doing wrong?

When you export, the disk that contains the original image must be available to Lightroom. Is the disk containing the original images mounted when you attempt to export?

How do I remove "read-only" from images transferred from a PC so that I can add keywords?

I switched to a Mac from a PC a year ago and have been using PSE 9 + Organizer with no problems. I transferred all my images from the PC at that time. Now, I want to transition to using Bridge and have been assigning keywords to the newer photos added after I started using the Mac. I am unable to assign keywords to the earlier photos because Bridge says they are read-only. I checked the Apple Get Info on the folders and they are read and write. Any ideas?

the Sharing and Permissions box on the bottom shows I have "custom" and "read & write" access for both pre- and post 9/2010 folders. All others (nobody, staff, everyone) have read only. Of course there is actually only me.
Anne,
It seems related to your OSX. I think you have created a new user account without adding a name (hence Nobody) but I'm a bit guessing in this department.
The default user account folders like pictures and movies have the ability to set to 'custom'. With you as only user and administrator there should preferably only be one user account visible. By default a newly created folder should show 3 options for sharing and permission. User (your name of the user account) Read and Write
Staff: read only
Everyone: Read only.
I have tried deleting "nobody" and "staff" and changing Annie to read and write - all kinds of combinations.
You can only edit users accounts in the system preferences / Accounts. In here is the option for you as administrator to delete and create users accounts. Here is where it is getting a bit difficult because we can't see your set up for the OSX. But if you have to change 'Annie' to read and write and assuming your user account name is Annie it should already have been on read and write. If you are logged in as 'nobody' this should have shown read and write to have access to change metadata.
So you first have to study a bit about user accounts on a Mac and see if you have a correct install. It is not very difficult and you will gain profit from this knowledge.
try the Apple.com support site, for a start here is a link to an article from the Apple Knowledge Base (kb) article about user accounts:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
Some images have been moved from the original folders so that could be a problem.
Basically you should not have any problem with moving files to whatever folder you want or create on your user account (or to external Disk etc.)
For a start you could create a new main folder in your user account Home folder and call this test or whatever you like except an already existing name. Of course also check if you have read and write permissions for it...
Open Bridge, use the folder panel to select a folder with the problem files. Now scroll through the folder panel and click on the triangle in front of your home folder. This will open the list with nested folders while Bridge content window still keeps its focus on the problem files you first selected. Select a bunch of the problem files from the content panel and use drag and drop to move the files to the newly created folder. Just move the mouse on the folder name and release the files.
If you hold the option (alt) key while dragging there will appear a + - sign and the files are copied to their new location, just use what you think is best for you.
After this action has finished click with your mouse on the newly created folder name in the folder panel and now the files should show in the content panel (if correct also already cached). Check if you are able to change the metadata now.
Most have tags from current and previous Photoshop Elements versions.
That should not be a problem, some info will be readable by Bridge, others not. Some Bridge version even had their own Bridge versions.
