Photoshop is not exporting Lightroom metadata when saving as JPG

For years I've been able to load files from LR to Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS4, edit the image and then save as a JPG file. Then I can re-import them to Lightroom and they have always retained their colour ratings and star ratings. Now that I have upgraded to Lightroom 3 and PS CS5 and try to do the same workflow that has worked in the past, all of the colour ratings, star ratings and any edits to the capture time are lost and they only have their original metadata. Has anyone else had this problem? I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find the answer. Thanks for any help.

Try writing the metadata to file first. Some users have reported that
this causes the stars and ratings to be retained.

From LR 4.3, saved edits in Photoshop CS6 not changing in LR (when running an Action)

From Lightroom 4.3, I am editing to Photoshop CS6 and able to make my edits and adjustments with a couple of Nik Software plugins running in an Action. The Action saves correctly and the changes are visible in Photoshop. When I switch back to Lightroom, the changes did not save.
However, when I try to do the same thing and replicate the steps of the Action manually, the changes do save correctly and they are visible in Lightroom.
This same action worked perfectly fine before I updated to LR4.3. The Action is key to my workflow, and not being able to use it significantly slows me down.
Is there a workaround known?
Thanks!
Nick

Web-Weaver,
Thanks for that detail. When I looked at my Action, it indeed was a <save as> command. So I re-recorded the Action, and recorded <save>, but in the Action, it still shows up as a <save as> recorded entry. I don't seem to be able to edit the entry to make it just a <save>.
Some additional detail, the <save as> that was recorded specifies that it be saved as a PSD format, and it also specifies a distinct filename and location. When I created a Droplet, and ran it on several files, they were all saved to that same filename.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
Nick

Why photoshop Lose a LOT of quality when saving in PNG ?

Hello
Why does photoshop lose a lot of quality when you save something in Png ? ( web intended ).. Even if i go through the "save for the web " or not, the result is always sloppy...
I save Png-24, with transparency and interlaced. like always.
Sometime it does a good job.. some time it is just sloppy.. Is there anyway to fix that ?..
Here is the image as it should be ( minus the 3 guide i forgot to remove ).. this is a screenshoot from Photoshop.
And here is the result.
Any idea why ?... and what is even more confusing is that when you hit "preview" in the "save for the web" tool you get the perfect picture... but once saved it will be scrap.
Both the Logo and the Menu button are blurred... ( this is not an effect of zoom here.)
Any clue ?
Thanks

For Web use, why are you Saving with Interlacing? That is for Video, with Projects like DVD-Video.
Not quite... Interlacing is used for web images as well... particularly where bandwidth is an issue.

That is a typical symptom of an image scaled via HTML/CSS.
The images look identical here when I view them in Photoshop. Scaling in the HTML seems to be the problem.

You can not export: lightroom does not support the recording of discs on this computer

I can not export my images

Probably because you moved the files to a new location using Explorer or Finder and LR doesn't know where they are. Or the path to the files has changed (for instance, a usb drive has been plugged into a different port and now has a different identifying letter) and LR's old listing of the path is no longer valid. Or the drive is off-line. Right click on the question mark or exclamation mark icon, select "Find missing file (or folder)" and navigate to it.

Colors look very different when saving to jpg from psd

I'm working on a CMYK image and when I save it to jpg from photoshop CS6, I get this difference in color:
In photoshop:
Viewed from Preview as JPG:
I can't figure out what's causing this color change... I've never had problems saving to jpg before...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

When you save the jpeg are you using Save As... or Save For Web...? To keep the jpeg mode as CMYK you have to use Save As and if you want the jpeg's CMYK preview to match in other color managed applications you have to check Embed Color Profile.
In the Preview app if you choose Tools>Show Inspector the dialog will tell you what profile is embedded. In Photoshop if you choose Document profile from the pop-up in the window's lower left corner, the document's assigned profile will be listed. The Preview and Photoshop profiles have to match in order to get the same color soft proof:

When saving a jpg it has suddenly started saving as 'file'instead of jpg

When editing a jpg then hitting 'save as' it has suddenly started saving as a 'file' instead of a jpg and can't be viewed as a thumb nail or opened by double clicking. I have to right click and 'open with' and view it through windows picture viewer....what has gone wrong and does anyone know how to get it back to how it should be. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no joy...

Thank you Juergen.. you are absolutaly correct.
I had some ...'s in my file name. How silly of me, I have been using photoshop for sooo long I should have realised. Might have been helpful had it come up with a prompt saying 'invalid file name', I have had that pop up before in one program I have used....thought it was photshop, but it didn't do it this time.
Thank you for your help.

Lightroom 5 does not export my adjustments when editing in Photoshop 6, although I have selected "edit a copy w/ LR adjustments"

I am a Mac user and I started to experience that my Lightroom 5 would no longer send the adjustments I have made to photoshop 6 even though I have selected the option for it do to so. I have searched online to fix this issue with no luck, I tried deleting the com.adobe.photoshop.plist and it did not resolve the issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

(Sometimes I have answers, but usually only more questions.)
Are other adjustments coming across--for example if you max out the Exposure sliders does the TIF end up lighter? You could be editing the original not the LR version.
Are other new adjustments for LR5/ACR8 coming across--for example Uprights? If you have an image with rectangular architectural features shot at a perspective angle, and you correct them in LR using one of the Uprights (Lens-Correction / Basic) options does Edit In w LR Adjustments include them?
If neither Uprights or Radial Filters are coming across, that would only make sense if you're actually using ACR 8.6 with PS-CS6 (not ACR 7.1) and you're not getting asked any question about with LR Adjustments, and are just assuming you're getting LR adjustments, when instead PS is rendering things using ACR which purposely doesn't allow new LR 5/ACR8-only features.
Another symptom of this situation would be that the filename in PS is the same as it was in LR, not with an -Edit on the end of the filename.
You can force LR to edit a copy if you define Photoshop.exe as an external editor and use Edit in Photoshop.exe instead of Edit in Photoshop.

Premiere CS6 does not remember some settings when saving custom export presets.

When I save a custom export preset in the export window, some settings are not remembered, and I need to change them every time again and again! The settings so far I found to not be saved are:
Key frame every ... frames
Limit data rate to ...

Interesting...
When I create and save an a H.264 QT preset
using the Export Settings dialog from within Premiere,
it does not save the key frame interval or max bitrate.
However, when I create a H.264 QT preset from within
Media Encoder and save... the missing settings are saved
and can be recalled from within the Premiere Export Settings dialog.
EDIT:
Re-tested this a bit more, and now the kf interval & max bitrate are
being saved with the presets created in Premiere Export Settings dialog.
Odd... my first 2 tries didn't take?

How to not create Lightroom duplicate when editing in Photoshop

When I choose to Edit in Photoshop from within Lightroom 3, the edited copy is added to Lightroom. This might sometimes be useful, but I want to choose whether or not the edited copy is added to lightroom.
How can I make this choice?
David

That's not my experience - maybe I've got some setting wrong somewhere.
I have two categories of images in Lightroom: DNG files originating from digital camera Raw files, and files which are PSD that were scanned from old photos.
Opening the DNG files in Photoshop then selecting "Save As" does not make the duplicate in Lightroom PROVIDED I have "As a copy" checked. But then the copy is not the file that's currently open so I have go find the copy and open it to do any work on it.
Opening PSD files from Lightroom in Photoshop, the duplicate is created immediately the file opens in Photoshop unless I select the "Edit original" option. But even then, if I subsequently use Save As within Photoshop, the copy appears in Lightroom.
My version of Lighrtoom is 3.4.1
My version of Photoshop is CS5.1
I'm on a Mac running Snow Leopard

Saving file with max compatibility in Photoshop is not recognized by Muse when I try to import

I had "save with maximum compatibility" set to "always" in the Photoshop preferences and Muse would not recognize this and not import the PSD file. So I set "save with maximum compatibility" to "ask" and did a "save as" in order to force Photoshop to save it with "max compatibility." I verified that the "max compatibility" box was checked. Tried to import, or Place, the PSD file in Muse: no go. What's wrong here?

Thanks, Jeff, for continuing to follow up on this. I did indeed use the PSD as 8-bit RGB (which came from a website template I bought some years ago). My workaround has been to make a PNG version of the PSD. Muse accepts the PNG file. But I'd really like to know why the PSD fails to import. It's a mystery right now. I downloaded a sample Muse project last week that was part of a video tutorial. Importing the PSDs from that sample project was no problem.

Photoshop randomly not applying Lightroom-generated .xml files

Hi there. I have a problem with Photoshop or Lightroom. This has happened to me before, but it's just somehow resolved itself previously. This time it won't.
I'm using LR 2.7 and PS CS4 and CS5. I've edited a bunch of Nikon RAW files (NEF) in LR and then saved the metadata to the files, but when I open the images in Photoshop the edits are not applied. It's like I haven't made any changes at all to the RAW files. For some reason this only happens to a few images, seemingly at random. I can't tell which ones without opening them all individually in Photoshop, though.
I have a script that I run in Photoshop that creates PSDs from my edited RAW files and applies some quick Photoshop adjustments as well, so exporting the files from LR isn't a solution for me.
I'm using a Mac Pro with Leopard 10.5.8.
Any ideas? Thanks.

In the normal situation, LR needs to see a PS installed for it to detect the Edit In PS option is possible, so if you uninstall both, then install PS, first, then LR. Of course with this release there may be some hiccup that requires installing either one or the other, again, but if you've uninstalled both and are reinstalling both, then install PS, first.

Photoshop Does Not Open Lightroom Image

Every few weeks, when I open Lightroom, I cannot edit my images in Photoshop. I'll select Photo->Edit in->Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Photoshop then opens. Instead of displaying the image I'd just been working on in Lightroom, Photoshop brings up the standard file "Open" dialog. (I've learned that if I then try to open the image using this dialog, the TIFF file is not properly exported back to Lightroom.) To the best of my knowledge, this does not happen if I tell LR to open the image in Photoshop CS4. The only work-around I've found is to optimize the Lightroom catalog, shut down both LR and PS, and restart my Mac. Sometimes it takes several tries -- eventually it will start working again. Once I get the LR-PS linking re-established, it will continue to work properly for the remainder of my work session.
Details: I'm running Lightroom 3.3 and PS 12.0.2 x64 on a Mac Pro. My Lightroom catalog has around 11,000 images in it at the present time.
Any suggestions would be appreeciated! Thanks, Steve.

Thanks for your suggestions. I just found an earlier thread that suggested deleting both the Photoshop and Lightroom preference files. I will try that. I'll also try to update my version of PS. (I have the CS5 updater running -- I'm surprised I don't have the latest version.)
If those things don't work, I'll try reinstalling. One of the frustrations with these intermittent problems is that you're never quite sure if you've fixed it. I'll give your suggestions a shot, and then I just have to watch for a while and see if LR and PS will work together,

Photoshop CS6 transparent mask causing problems when saved as RGB Tiff and placed into CS5 Indesign

Is anyone aware of a gray/black halo around feathered transparency objects. The halo occurs where the solid area of pic feathers to the transparent.
NOTE: Image looks fine in Photoshop(CS6) but when placed as an RGB TIFF into Indesign (CS5) a black halo appears on page. See visual explanation below.
This only happens when image is an RGB Tiff and layer mask is used to create transparency. If image is saved as .psd then it is fine. Also when RGB tiff is converted to CMYK then this is also ok.
Is
I look forward to anyone's suggestions.
Ideally I could just start using psd format, but I have to handle alot of images that are already in RGB tiff and it is time consuming to have to open and re-save all of these.
Adobe Photoshop CS5 RGB tiffs are still working fine.
Thanks.
Colourjam.
(Pre-Press Production Digital Image Operator)

Yes the halo is does appear on the final PDF used for printing, and therefore does unfortunately print.
Why would RGB Tiffs in Photoshop CS6 suddenly cause this to happen. If we revert back to placing Photoshop CS5 files into Indesign, all is good.
Also it is not just an isolated event as my colleague has the same thing happening on his workstation.
Could it be that that Indesign 5 cannot colour manage the new CS6 RGB Tiff files?
CMYK tiff works well, as does PSD (CMYK and RGB)
Also please note, that if you were trying to recreate this to see if you get the samed problem, the halo occurs as soon as you create transparency with a layer mask and feather the edge of mask, and then save as RGB tiff. It will not be visible if you have a hard line or a vector edge.
Just for the record here is our set up.
Indesign CS5 (PC)
Photoshop CS6 (PC)

Why "not enough memory" error when saving edited files?

I've been editing photos from one folder and saving them to another, hundreds of them. Suddenly when I tried to open Photoshop Elements 9 from the raw editor I got an error that says "could not complete the command because there is not enough memory." I have noticed that when I go back and open a photo from the first file that I've already edited, the changes are applied to that file, even though I saved the edited file into the second folder. What can I do? I don't really want the photos in the first folder edited, just the ones in the second, and I don't need to store all my changes in memory. I still have hundreds to edit.

Is there a simple way to get back to my original RAW files in folder 1, without the edits that have been made applied to them?
The simplest way is to change your mindset, and say ... hey, no problem, that's the way the PSE RAW editor works, I will leave things as they are.
What could be simpler, you basically have to do nothing?
(And by the way, I say again that your original RAWs have NOT been changed in any way).
