Problem returning image to LR3 after edit in PS CS5. Help!

After adjustment in LR3, I edit in PS (CS5). I finish with "save" but image does not return to LR3. I do find it in my hard drive Photo folder. Then it's a PIA to re import to LR3 for printing.
Very frustrating, Can someone help this old guy?

The copy in CS5 does not include "Edit".
Well, that might be the problem.
First, why isn't there a "EDIT" suffix? Did you change that option on purpose?
Lightroom might be importing your Tiff as a sidecar to the original. To confirm this, you can check the Metadata panel, to see what the Sidecar field contains. If it has a tiff in there - that's the problem.
Dorin, I do not seem to be able to find a "Sidecar" field within my Metadata panel. Is this something I have to set up somehow. All of the examples that I have seen of using CS5 from LR make no mention of this feature, consequently, I was unaware of it. I assume this displays somehow within the Library module? Is there something that should be turned on, or off, for this to happen. I would appreciate your expanding on your explanation. Thanks.

P.S. Bob, I am not trying to hijack your thread by any means, just trying to understand something that even I was unaware of, and hopefully we will both benefit from this.

Returning images to Lightroom after edit in Photoshop?

Hello,
When I export a raw file from LR to Photoshop CS2, as a 16bit Prophoto tiff, it opens with LR's develop settings applied. However, after I have saved the image in Photoshop, when I close the file and revert back to the LR Library the image arrives back in LR with a completely different exposure and histogram? Is this normal? What has happened to the development settings that were applied in LR? My Photoshop working space is Prophoto 16bit.
Thank you,
J.

Thanks folks. John, I was using 'Edit in CS' not the 'Export' button. Sorry I didn't make that clear. My problem was that after I closed the photoshopped file LR was applying an "auto tone adjustment" to the new image as soon as it popped up in the LR Library. The adjusted image looked terrible and I had to readjust the develop settings in Lightroom for a second time.
At Jao's suggestion I went into LR's Preferences/Presets and unchecked the 'Apply Auto Tone Adjustments' box.
Works just fine now. :o)

Lightroom 5.5 not selecting images after editing in photoshop cs5

I recently did the 5.5 update and now after cmd E editing in photoshop after I save and close a file it is auto imported into lightroom but not selected. I am using filters but that is the only variable I could see affecting it. It used to be done automatically and only takes me a second longer but I'm editing files hundreds at a time and every second counts.

Most likely you need to change the Sort order of your images. In Library - Grid view there is a tool bar at the bottom of the grid window. If the tool bar isn't visible, hit [ T ] to activate it. Change the sort order to Filename or Capture Time. It is probably set to Added Order.

Having problems saving images on safari after iOS 7.1 update -

whenever i use safari to search images on Google and i want to save the image i hold down and i have the following options
> Open
> Open in New Page
> Add to Reading List
> Copy
but no
> Save Image
i have to click onto the actual picture which directs me to its original web page where it was posted to be able to hold down onto picture for "save image" option to appear whereas before the update it was simpler to save images on the search result page instead on having to open the pictures up individually. Has anyone else come across this annoying new feature? instead of simplifying things they've slightly made it more of a hassle to save images grrrr

Hi Captwoodse,
Thanks for your reply, after trying your method i actually found out that if i click on a picture in google images mode in safari and don't wait for it to fully load and hold down my finger on the picture the save image option comes up amongst the others. However if i do wait for it to load completely i only have the options i listed in my original question. I tried your technique you suggested but again it was hit and miss with save image option appearing. So it looks like ill just have to be quick with my thumb and press down on picture before it loads! Lets hope my EE 4G connection is slower then my thumb skills
Thank you none the less

Problem saving files as JPEGs after editing them as CR2 files

I took some photos in RAW format and used Photoshop CS2 to make my lighting adjustments (in the Photoshop RAW viewer). For most photos, I just clicked the "Save" button, and I had the option to convert and save the file as JPEG, TIFF, etc. But I had some additional changes to make in Photoshop using layers, so I clicked "Open" first before saving, and worked in the general Photoshop window. But after making my changes, I clicked "Save as" and the long list of file options to choose from was no longer there, and I only had the option of saving the file as: Photoshop, Cineon, Large Document Format, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, PNG, TIFF. I really need to save it as a JPEG, but it is not one of the options. I have flattened all the layers, and am working in RGB color mode.
If anyone could help me understand why I can't save this as a JPEG, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Convert the files from 16 bit to 8 bit and you be able to save your jpeg.

Problem with cue point from After Effects to Flash (CS5.5)

Hello,
anyone has, or has not problems reading, in Falsh, cue points included with After Effects? (Navigartion cue points).
It is possible export from Flash movie in .flv format? (Both versione CS5.5).
Thank you.

No I don't believe it's the footage, as I've been able to transfer the same files on my school computer and use it with ease.It's just any type of footage, if I attempt to drag any of my imported files (whether they're images of any kind or .mp4, .mov, .wav, .mp3) just as I would click and hold the file, my cursor turns into the Mac loading ball. Perhaps is there something these programs require such as Java? I'm not sure if it's related, but I've also not been able to play some games via Steam that I have been able to play in the past with the same system.

When I conect any ipod ,the itunes show an error msg-The syncServer found a problem and must be closed.After that another-Mobile device helper find a problem and must be closed -and this repeat more 2 times each are related with corefoundation.dll.

Six error msg about apple aplications that must be closed just when I connect my ipod to computers USB.SyncServer aplication and Mobile device helper is closed.The error relat.show :
AppName: syncserver.exe AppVer: 17.641.14.26 ModName: corefoundation.dll
ModVer: 1.550.54.0 Offset: 00043d08
These happens in both kind of messages that was showing three times each.After this ,Itunes can sinc music videos,photos,but I canot upgrade my ipod!
Detail:copy photo files from ipod to computer works normal.I use panda antivirus but without it in the computer,the problem persists.Yesterday I get the last ITunes,but the problem persists.I unistall anything about apple ,install the new Itunes and the problem remains.
And this problem occurs only after I connect ANY ipod to the computer,open Itunes for hear music,for example,still works OK.

I have been battling against the same issue for over 2 weeks now. After tracing what was happening on the machine to find that the crashes we're happening slightly after Apple's program we're identifying the Time Zone of the computer, I had the idea of checking the date/time properties of my Windows XP machine.
I unchecked the box to update the time from a time server (Internet time) and it's seem that this was what was causing itunes and its descendant to crash.
Now it seems it turned back to normal operation.
Please let me know if this fixes it for you as well.

Stretched photos after editing with photoshop CS5

When I crop a photo with photoshop CS5 and then go and review it in Iphoto the picture looks like the unedited version in the "events" but when i double click on it it appears streteched. How do I fix this?
Also, when I edit a photo with CS5 (for ex: cool a picture if it is too warm) then go to look at it in iphoto it looks like the unedited version and once I click on the photo I can see the edited version.

The following is how Photoshop should be used from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
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
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 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
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:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Can't open file after editing video in CS5

I have now tried editing a video file three times in PHotoshop. Each time it has frozen during export, and when I Force Quit and try to reopen the file I get an error message that I can't open this format of document with my version. I have an Education version of CS5, so I have the Extended version of Photoshop. This is driving me crazy. Any ideas?
Garrett

Found another related thread and the tip to confirm that PS was up to date. After updating the file worked.
Finding the right answer in here takes too much work (or did I miss the way to search for answers?). Lots of posts on this topic, but only one helpful answer that I found.

Vector mask error after editing mask - Mac CS5

Hi There,
When I create a rounded corner vector shape then apply a gradient vector mask, the result is as expected - the gradient in the vector mask fades the object as per the mask.
If I then edit the mask (either by moving the start/end points or try to make the end point not fully transparent) the gradient stops sharply.
The result is an mask with a gradient that stops short about 30px from the end of the object - so I see the gradient stop and the mask just cuts off.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong - any suggestions would be most welcome.
Cheers
Ben

I've run into this as well and believe it is a bug. While you can't avoid it, you can repair it.
In the Layers panel, click the chainlink icon between the mask and maskee. This breaks the size relationship between the two objects.
Select the mask in the Layers panel, then either use the Scale tool or the W and H fields in the Properties panel to correct the size.
Relink the two objects by clicking in the chainlink area.

...save it as sRGB?
Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
I'll answer just this one little question. Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway. Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

Lightroom 4 (and update) slow down after editing 2 images

Imported 74 Nikon RAW images (from D300) into Lightroom 4 (also tried with RC-1) on 2.8ghz Intel iMac with 4gb memory, approx 180GB free on 320GB HD.
After using the brush on 2nd image the program slows to a crawl. It takes a minute or more to load the next image, a dozen or more seconds for Brush to be ready to use. Running OS-X Lion. Getting spinning wheel constantly, and it gets slower after 2nd image. I'm forced to close the program, wait a bit and restart so I can edit another photo in any reasonable time. Also, if I wait in Lightoom, doing nothing for a minute or more, things will speed up again for another 1 or 2 images (if I'm lucky). All software and OS is up to date. No other programs running.
Memory leak or garbage collection problems?
Same thing happens on my Windows 7 laptop using a new Crucial 120gb SSD.
Someone else is editing the same images on their 4 year old PC using Lightroom 3.6 and everything is fine. I'm switching back to see if it helps. Will post here with results.
_Bob

I can confirm the issue. Using some function (I noticed it on noise reduction too) causes a tremendous slowdown.
I'm using a i72630QM with 8gb ram. It's fast enough to handle that stuff, at least it was on LR3.
Edit: just to clarify what I mean with "slowdown": the program is barely reacting anymore, takes several seconds to come back from minimize, pretty much feels like crashing nonstop.
I can say 99,99% certainty that its not hardware related.

Difference in images after edit

I was shooting timelapse, pictures shot with the same settings and with three seconds interval.
The .raw images looked and was just the same. After edit, some differences occurred. If you look at the bottom images. That's the way it should be. But the top image appeared to have lost some contrast. This happened to some images. Why did this happen?
If you look more closely. On top of the images you can see some black unwanted object. It's my window. I couldn't open it any more, and the wind kept moving the frame of the window in my view. Also my floor is a bit uneven so every time I went to check on my camera the camera tilted. I just stabilize and crop the images. But, the low contrast-problem on the top images seem to occur on the images when I stepped in front of the camera and created some movement. Still, .raw-image looked just the same. It was after edit this happened. Shot in manual mode.

It is my analysis that the black window frame at the top is causing the difference in brightness between the two raw images even though exactly the same camera exposure and Lightroom adjustments were used.
Lightroom toning adjustments are somewhat non-linear, meaning the image content dictates how much things become lighter and darker. This is especially true of Whites, Highlights, Shadows, Blacks and Clarity.
In this situation the window frame at the top is a dark object darker than anything in the rest of the image, so it keeps the darks from becomes as dark as if it wasn't there.
Effectively it means you cannot use the Shadows, Blacks or Clarity with this sequence of raw images because of the varying amounts of black. The amount of cloud shadowing on the image will also have some effect, especially for Clarity, but less so compared to very dark or very bright pixels.
For this sequence of images, the best thing to do is probably FIRST crop all the images the same so that no extraneous window frame is showing on any of them, THEN synchronize your white-balance and other non-color and non-tone-related adjustments--noise-reductions, sharpening, and THEN do an Export of all the frames to 16-bit TIFs with a ProPhotoRGB color profile. Reimport these into LR and do your toning and color adjustments. It is not enough to crop the raw images, because the toning adjustments always look at all the pixels including those outside the crop box, not just the visible pixels.
RAWs and TIFs don't act exactly the same as far as toning and colors but you might start with the raw toning and color settings synchronized to all the TIFs and see if there need to be any other adjustments. Here is an example of my doing this where the first column of images are your two raw files with identical settings, and the second column being two cropped TIFs with the same adjustments. You will notice that the hill, especially the bottom-right corner, is a different brightness between the two raws but the same brightness between the two TIFs.
I don't know what would cause the difference in color in the night shots, above, unless it is a slow drift caused by the camera sensor warming up with use and the high-ISO noise increasing and affecting some colors more than others. If you're seeing a slow drift then this is likely the situation. If you're seeing the color randomly change back and forth between different frames, then it is likely something else that I don't have a theory for without more information. Usually a random fluctuation of color among various images happens indoors with fluorescent lighting because the color and brightness changing with the A/C 50Hz or 60Hz frequency. Nikon cameras for a few years, and the newest Canons, will detect this fluctuation and time the shutter opening with the peak brightness so every shot of a burst will look similar.

Mosaic problem with image after Yosemite

I'm using CS6 (13.0.6) on my iMac and recently upgraded to Yosemite. I'm now getting a problem where images will suddenly either go black or get a weird mosaic/jigsaw type of look. In the example below, the "source" images used in the mosaic were files that I had recently closed - so it isn't just a scrambled version of the correct image (if that makes sense).
Once this happens, the only fix is to close out Photoshop and start over. Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Interesting…Turning off "Use Graphics Processor" returns the magnifying glass to previous Photoshop method of dragging a marquee to zoom, instead of zooming from the point of click.
So, this is February 2. You say it is Apple's problem and they are working on it, huh? It's been at least two months, apparently. It doesn't seem to be a top priority.
