Photoshop not opening photos through Lightroom

I'm using Photoshop CC on OSX 10.10.2, everything is updated. My problem is when I'm using Lightroom CC and use "edit in Photoshop CC", photoshop opens up but the photo doesn't. I can open the photo through Photoshops menu but that won't return me to Lightroom with the changes.
The only way I have found to solve this is to restart the computer and it then works fine for awhile and eventually the problem comes back. I can't isolate what I do differently to make it stop working.

Hate to say it, JJ, but you're missing the point .
The OP is invoking "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom, a standard and familiar command for Lightroom users. The file is then passed on to ACR, with the Lightroom settings (which is the whole point), and it should then open normally into Photoshop. Once saved back out from Photoshop, Lightroom will keep track of it so it can be reopened in Lightroom.
But here it doesn't.
caddion - you say "everything is updated", but you really need to make sure that Lightroom and ACR are in version sync. If they aren't, "edit in" won't work. If you have, say, Lightroom 5.7, then ACR needs to be at 8.7. These are corresponding versions.
The reason for this is that ACR opens the file with Lightroom settings. But with different versions, ACR may not know what these settings mean.

Photoshop Not Opening Photos

I had an issue where my software wasn't activated and so I had to reactivate it. However, now Photoshop won't even open a new window or any photos in the software. Why is that? How do I fix that?!?!?!? I need to know ASAP so I can get my photos ready for state fair! Thanks!

What version of photoshop are you using?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

You are rude, to say the least. It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible. Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe. The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with. I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time. I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100. I have a Mac using 10.6.8. I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files. This happens with both raw and jpeg files. Thanks for a repl

thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission. I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer. It says can not read files with a code "298". I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode. I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

Ipad will not open photos from sd card

ipad wll not open photos from an sd card

Are the photos on the card taken with a camera? If not, the card must meet all of these requirements...
The SD card must be formatted using MS-DOS (FAT).
Photos must be in a /DCIM folder folder at the thumb drive's root level
Photos must all have 8 character names plus the suffix, usually jpg or jpeg.

Can not open photos saved on to PC from iphone 4S

The problem is the photo viewer in the PC. Orientation metadata is stored with the photo and is not being interpreted correctly by the program being used to open it.

Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

Adobe photoshop elements 12 will not open photo editor crashes every time.

My elements 12 does the same thing I have seen written here over and over. Can not open editor, crashes every time. It is updated, reinstalled and administrator is set. Does anyone from Adobe read these boards?

I asked you to try that because one thing that often happens is that the dock icon gets corrupted, and it's best to get the simple obvious problems out of the way first.
What do you mean by "several students"? Is this in a classroom situation? Are these computers all on a school intranet together? We tend to assume here that you are talking about a personal version and a problem with your own computer, not an institutional installation, unless you specify otherwise.
If this is your personal computer, the next thing to do is to delete the prefernces. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 12 paths
and any lockfiles with the same names. To see the user library in 10.9, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in the library, go to the saved application states folder and delete anything in there for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.

Photoshop CS3 - Opens photos very slow

Alright so I have an interesting one I am hoping someone can help me with... I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 (I know, a little behind). I have been using CS3 since it came out and love it - however recently, and unfortunately I don't have any real time-frames off the top of my head, it is incredibly slow to open photos.
Typically I drag/drop a photo from my folders into Adobo to begin my editing based on the pictures I see fit to edit. The pictures come from a Canon T2i - I dump them to my local HDD, and then move the photos I wish to edit into Photoshop. The average file size is about 7mb, so they're not huge. Now when I open the pictures, it takes, on average, about a minute and a half per picture to open. During this time Adobe is non-responsive as in menus, navigation, etc... - I can minimize and maximize, it doesn't freeze or anything. Just sits there while it attempts to open these photos (using no more than 3% processor time). It does eventually open them, no errors.
This problem happens whether I drag drop into photoshop, open from the file menu, whether they're RAW images, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PSD, 10mb in size or 10kb in size, etc...
I know it's not the system, everything else runs great.
The system is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system, 8GB of Ram, dual core process (1.86ghz each), dual nVidia GeForce GTX 275 (512mb each) video cards that are running with nVidia's latest drivers.
The system is installed on a Western Digital 10,000RPM HDD and I have 6TB of hard-drives (all internal SATA) where my files are stored. I'd fine it hard to believe if it's the system.
I can play graphic intensive games without glitches, run Microsoft ICE for image sewing (without hesitation), and edit/dump HD videos without problems into Sony Vegas Video.
I have attempted to reset of Adobe Photoshop by doing the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT while loading and allowing complete reset. I turned of all Windows 7 effects (even though this issue never happened before when I had Windows 7 since launch). I set the Photoshop.exe to the highest priority in task manager, alloted 88% RAM to it through Adobe preferences, and ensured that both processors are given full attention it. Still nothing.
Has anyone experience this before? Outside of un-installing and re-installing (which is next) - I can't think of anything else...

Just to be clear, did you get a prompt from Photoshop confirming preferences deletion? I ask because sometimes folks think they've done a reset without having seen that dialog, and that's not the case. You have to be VERY quick to get Photoshop to notice you've pressed these keys during startup. If it doesn't prompt you, you weren't quick enough.
Some other things to think about:
Is your default printer offline? Is there any printer installed in your system that's offline?
Do you have the Twain driver installed but a scanner is turned off or missing?
Are there any network drives established but the network resource is offline or unreachable?
What 3rd party plug-ins do you have installed into Photoshop? Is it possible one of them is not initializing properly?

IOS 8.0.2 iPhone 6 can not open photo or pdf attachments in email

After the photo (jpg) downloads, all I get is a grey screen with the photo name. Same as when I tried to open a PDF attachment.
Is there a security setting or something I missed on the phone?
The files are fine, opened everything on my iMac and MBP. Just can not open on the phone. Attachments are being sent through email.

Hey Mrstudio,
Thanks for the question. Are you experiencing this issue with an Exchange account on your device? If so, the attachment may now be downloading fully. Check out the following resource:

How to tell Windows to open photos in Lightroom?

I have Lightroom and Elements 12 on my computer (Windows Vista Home Premium). The computer automatically opens every photo in Elements 12. However, I want to open my photos in Lightroom. How can I change this setting? Thank you. June E.

Lightroom doesn't work that way. The normal workflow is to do the following:
1. Start Lightroom.
2. Open the export dialogue and locate the images that you want to work on in Lightroom.
3. Import those images into Lightroom. This simply creates a marker showing Lightroom where the image is located.
4. After the images have been imported, you can make your adjustments using Lightroom.
In order to work on images in Lightroom, it is necessary that they be added to the Lightroom catalog. This is done with the import process. Because of this workflow it is not logical to expect to be able to double-click on an image and have it open in Lightroom.

Opening photos from Lightroom into Camera Raw?

Hello!
I have a little problem since I upgraded to CS4.
I used to open my (RAW) photos from Lightroom (2) into Camera Raw - it did it automatically when I clicked "edit in photoshop". Now it doesn't work anymore, and I have no idea why - it opens the pictures directly into Photoshop. I was told in the Lightroom forum that it's a functionality that was changed in CS4 and that I wouldn't be able to get to Camera Raw from Lightroom anymore.
However, I really liked my old workflow Lightroom > Camera Raw > Photoshop, and I much prefer CR's interface, so if anybody's got an idea on how to fix this, or get it to work again, it would be really great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Maybe the following would help.
1. In lightroom, go to: Photo>Edit In>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop.
2. Once the photo is in photoshop, double click the Smart object thumbnail in the layers panel to open camera raw.

External edit function not opening photo in external editor

Hi folks , hope you can help , my external editor function in lightroom 4 has stopped working ie It will open the external edit space but the image does not open in that space any ideas . Your help much appreciated

You cannot use iphoto that way. PSE can't open photos from iphoto because if it were to write to your iphoto library it could easily corrupt it and cause the loss of all the images there. You should NEVER poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto.
You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Save, not save as without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits and the original, but you will need to lose the edits to revert back to the original. You will need to go to the PSE preferences>saving files and set On First Save to Save over existing to make this work. When you see the Save As window, something is wrong.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in the editor and make all the changes you want, then save your image in any format or with any name you like and import the edited photo back to iphoto as a new file. This lets you save as many versions of your photo as you like.

Premiere Elements not allowing me to edit photos. I am not interested in videos. Also not opening photos from other sources. Windows 8 computer

I have many photos in my files and computers; most of them are visible in Premiere elements Organizer, but I can't edit them or pull out individual ones. Often cannot open a photos that comes in an email. I don't use videos; I just want to edit my photos.
Did I buy the wrong program?

Hi
Premiere Elements is a video editor not a photo editor. This is why you cannot edit your photos.
The organiser is for both Photoshop (photographic editor) and Premiere (video editor) elements. This is for managing your photo and video library.
I hope this helps.
