Problem with "Edit in Photoshop"

Hi,
When I "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom, the photo loads correctly into Photoshop, and I can save my changes, but when I return to Lightroom, my changes are not automatically imported. I have to click "Import..." to find the changes, and manully import them.
How to I enable automatic imports of the changed made in Photoshop?
Somestimes, I get a grey thumbnail after returning from Photoshop. Clicking on the thumbnail gives the message: "Filename-Edit.tif could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Previous location: Correct path to file, except starts with "C:/", and should start with "E:/". If I locate the correct file, it is imported, but it has an exclamation point on the thumbnail. Clicking on the exclamation point produces the message: "The medata data for this photo has be changed by both Lighroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settins with those form the catalog?"
I'm using Lightroom 5.0, Camera Raw 8.1, Photoshop CS6 (Versionh 13.0.1) under 64-bit Windows 7
Thanks
Brent

Thank you for this information regarding the dialog box!
My problem is with LR 2.3 and CS4 Photoshop. When I select "edit in Photoshop CS4", Photoshop starts, but the file doesn't open.
If I select "open as smart Object" in Photoshop, the file opens.
Previously, with CS3, I had no problems opening raw files for edit!

Problem with "Edit in Photoshop" and Lightroom 2.1 failing to import new file

I am a new user to Lightroom, so I won't be surprised if the problem is at the dull end of the keyboard...
I am working with Lightroom 2.1 (still in my 30-day free trial), Photoshop CS3 with ACR 4.6, on Windows XP (fully updated). My image files are mostly .cr2 files (canon raw).
When I "edit with photoshop" in Lightroom, it fires up Photoshop and brings the file up for edit as expected. Photoshop shows the file name as something like _MG_2326.CR2, as (I presume) expected. When I'm done editing in Photoshop, and I save the file, Lightroom brings up a message "The file could not be imported because it could not be read." and "It may be an incompatible format." on a second line.
If I synchronize the folder in Lightroom it picks up the save file without issue (though its not automatically stacked with the original).
I have tried messing around with the different options in the preferences "external editing" tab -- file format, color space and bit depth (I can't imagine resolution would matter). No joy there.
I have also tried setting photoshop up as the additional external editor and if I do that it works correctly. However, in this case, it makes a copy of the file before opening photoshop which slows things down a little.
Is this a problem that anybody else has seen before? Any solutions or work-arounds?
Thanks,
Doug

I'm back trying to sort this problem out (got distracted for a couple of days by trying to get my monitor calibrated).
Rearranging the folder structure didn't help. But I now have a better organized catalog, so that's ok :)
What I did find is that if I import files into lightroom using the "file/import photos from device", then I can edit them normally afterwards (that is, when I save the file in photoshop cs3, the new file gets picked up correctly by lightroom and gets correctly stacked with the original). This is true even if the new files get added into the same directory structure that I'm having troubles with.
So it looks like the directory structure is a red herring. It looks like the problem is in the catalog, with the way that lightroom originally imported my files. I created my original catalog by allowing lightroom to read my elements 6 catalog.
It seems that I have this edit problem with all catalog entries that were imported from elements 6, but I don't have any problem with catalog entries that lightroom brings in directly (either through "import photos from device" or by adding a new folder to the lightroom catalog).
So right now it looks like there is a problem with the elements catalog conversion.
Is this a problem that anybody else has seen? Any suggestions for getting around it?

Problem with Edit IN function between LR 2.3 and PS CS3

I recently upgraded my system to a Windows Vista 64 bit Core 2 Quad with 8 GB. Lightroom now works and loads images the way it should. I do have one major concern and need any help possible.
I am using LR 2.3 in 64 bit and PS CS3 ver 10.0.1 (which is 32 bit - loads slowly but otherwise works fine). The problem I am encountering is in LR Develop / Photo / Edit In... - using any of the menu items:
"Edit in Abode Photoshop CS3"
"Open as Smart Object In Photoshop"
"Merge to Panorama in Photoshop"
"Merge to HDR in Photoshop"
"Open as layers in Photoshop"
Photoshop opens but no image(s) are exported and I receive the message in LR - "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS3 could not be launched."
Photoshop, however, was launched but no image exported and so I can't work on the image in PS. The appropriate TIFF image is created in LR for the first two menu items - nothing for the last three menu items.
I can create a partial work around by setting PS as an external editor, however, I can't use 4 of 5 of the menu items.
All the menu items work fine in Windows XPpro.
Any help is much appreciated.
PS I also tried the most recent Window 7 RC with exactly the same results.
Thanks

I wasn't shouting - I just cut and paste the exact text and font in its original size and type as was shown in the message. Never had a thought that someone would be offended by cutting and pasting exactly what was in a message - it would appear that John Williams saw it for what it was.
However, sorry if I offended you.

Problem with 'Edit Locally' command -- Due to IISProxy?

Hi,
We have a problem with 'Edit Locally' command since we are using Windows Authentication. Our architecture is:
SAP EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 28 (Solaris)
IIS Proxy (Windows 2003)
The situation is:
If we access to SAP Portal using old url (directly to Solaris) using form-based authentication we do not have any problem with 'edit locally' command.
However, if we access to SAP Portal using IISProxy and Windows Authentication we get an 'Operation failed' error message.
     Java plug-in console shows the following message:

Where is the problem? Is due to authentication method? SAP Portal or IISProxy configuration?
Thanks,

Thanks for your comment,
Now, we have tested with version 1.5.0_01 plugin version but the result is the same: 'Operation failed'
This is a very important topic to solve before installing Windows Authentication in a productive environment.
Has anybody any solution?

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?. Why does Photomerge Exposure not give me a finished DONE photo. If I open 2 photos, it will merge then, and when I press DONE I get a new photo file that I can save. However, if I open 3 photos, and go through the same process, the software analyzes the photos, I get a new image, BUT when I press DONE, the new image vanishes???? I can open the same 3 photos in Elements 8 and it works fine. any ideas please.

I, too, am having problems in version 11 with Photomerge Exposure. I can merge the 3 photos successfully with version 10. In version 11 when I click done, I am taken back to the Expert mode of the Editor but the merged photo in the photo bin is not accessible. When I first return to the editor, one of the original images (before merge) is selected. When I double/click on the merged photo it doesn't become the active image. In fact, any image I double click on momentarily becomes the active image and then jumps to another one.
The merged photo is visible in the photo bin but I can't select it.
I am running version 11 on my MacBook running OS 10.6.8

After iphoto 9.1.5. problem with editing photos

After I did the 9.1.5. update I have a problem with editing photo's. My photo's are about 35mb a piece.. they are panoramic photo's. Editing used to work perfect in iphoto 8.. after I went to iphoto 9 it became buggy.. (it crashes on certain photo's that 8 could handle without a problem).. but I learned to live with it. Now I did the 9.1.5. update and I can edit maybe 2 or 3 pics without a problem.. then when I get to number 4 Iphoto will show me a black screen.
If I close iphoto and start it again, I can continue where I left off.. untill I get to a picture that seems to ruin the party.. and then I have to restart again..
Iphoto 8 used to work so smooth with panoramic photo's.. dont know where it went wrong..

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Problem with iPhoto and Photoshop CS3

iPhoto is starting to get on my nerves. I just spent the better part of a day figuring out a scanner interface issue--now something weird is going on with CS3.
Today, when I uploaded images from my iPhone to my laptop and tried to edit them in CS3 using the cropping tool, the image size went from like 10 inches to 1 pixel. If I go into image size and try to restore the size, the image comes up blank.
I ended up having to crop the image in iPhoto and complete the editing in Photoshop. Apparently cropping is the only Photoshop tool that's affected. What's going on? This is taking me twice as long as it should.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The following may be of interest:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop 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 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
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..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

A problem with ACR in Photoshop CS 6 (Mac).

When using "Edit in Photoshop CS6" from Lightroom 4 I just go into Photoshop CS6, not Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Cannot access ACR directly from withion Photoshop either. It works from Bridge tho'. Have checked out many forums and see other people with this problem, but main help responses, to remove com.adobe.Photoshop.plist from Library/Preferences, or reinstalling Photoshop and Lightroom, do not resolve it for me. All software, including Camera Raw (7.2.0.46) is up to date. Use 16 GB iMac and OS X 10.8.2.
Any help much appreciated.

Until a few days ago, when working in Lighroom 4, when I clicked "edit in photoshop", it always opened in Camera RAW, which I found useful. Now it just opens in Photoshop. I cannot figure out why this is happening. [...]
Suspect from my readings on further forums, that the previous mode of opening in Camera Raw may have been a bug, which I had assumed to be the norm!!
Yep, sounds like there was a bug and now you're seeing correct behaviour.
Something that might be useful to you is Lr's "Edit In > Open as Smart Object in Photoshop". That'll open a document in Ps with a SO containing a duplicate of a file. Double-clicking that SO will open its contained file in Camera Raw.

Problems with text using Photoshop CC on Windows 8.1

I am using Photoshop CC on Windows 8.1. I get flickering on the screen as described by others. My main problem, however, is that when I try to use the text tool the layer goes completely black and I cannot see what I am typing or edit the text. I have tried updating my video card driver and my monitor driver. I have deleted the font cache file, I have tried using Photoshop without plug ins (I use Nic plug ins). The only thing that has worked is resetting the preferences by holding down alt+control+shift keys when starting photoshop. This allows me to enter text normally on one photograph and one only. Once I have completed that first photograph and load another I get the black layer. I desperately need help. If this continues I will have to cancel my membership as I was much better off using my Photoshop Elements 11 disc.
Any help will be very gratefully appreciated...............help seems to be very difficult to come by Adobe you make it very difficult for your customers!

Ok,I can appreciate that I may not have given enough information. You state that without proper system information nobody can help, but I need to know what information is needed. You also state that I should simply turn off hardware acceleration in the perfs. What does that mean? How do I do that? I have tried changing the GPU Drawing Mode to basic and it didn't work. Is this what you mean? You may be assuming a level of knowledge I do not have. From research I have done this seems to be a problem with windows 8.1 that Adobe have been aware of for about a year. I have followed all the online advice I have been able to find but nothing seems to be working.

Rotation problem after editing in Photoshop

I'm using Lightroom 1.3 and Photoshop CS3 with all the current updates. This problem was the same in LR1 and PS CS2.
I have a mix of orientations in the JPEGs in my library - portrait and landscape. When the photos are imported into LR they appear correct. If I select a bunch of them, open them in PS (using Edit in Photoshop > Edit Originals), run a noise filter, save them, and then go back to LR, the previews for the portrait images are rotated so that all the previews show as landscape.
The portrait images display correctly (except for the fact that they have been rotated) in the Library module - both grid and loupe view). In the Develop module, the image aspect is displayed portrait but the image is as a distorted landscape - the image is rotated and then distorted to fill the portrait oriented space. In the Print module, that same distorted image is fills the portrait oriented page. To be clear, instead of a portrait image appearing in the correct orientation on a portrait page preview, the image is rotated 90 degrees and then stretched to fill the page.
There is a badge on the preview indicating that the metadata is out of sync with the file.
If I rotate the image in LR, the badge goes away and the image appears portrait and undistorted in the Library module's grid and loupe views. The Develop module show the portrait image in the correct rotation, but has been stretched to a landscape aspect. The Print module shows that distorted image rotated to fit the portrait page.
The only way to correct this is to "Read Metadata from file". This resets all the orientation information so that it displays correctly in LR, but all the tags and IPTC information gets erased.
This is most of the reason why I was writing all the metadata into to files until now. I would write the metadata before editing in PS, do my PS edits, and then back in LR I'd "Read the Metadata" from the files to set everything correctly in LR. But of course now that I'm working with Leopard I get screwed if I do this because my files will crash the Finder.
To top it all off, I've run into the "...cannot be saved because the file is in use" problem with some files I opened last night.
Clearly none of these issues are being addressed in Adobe or Apple's updates. Is there a reasonable workaround that will let me:
1. set metadata and tags and know that they won't either get lost or cause problems
2. have image orientation respected and displayed correctly
3. not crash any of the three critical applications on this computer - Lightroom, Photoshop, and Finder.

I really appreciate your explaining this Jao.
I'm going to explain how I got into this situation, in the hopes that it may prove useful to someone (I'm looking at you, Adobe) who wants to understand how the app is being used in the real world.
So as not to break up the narrative, let me just say that I'd be happy (ecstatic, actually) if I could use Lightroom for my entire workflow, but the noise reduction filter in LR is just nowhere near as good as NoiseNinja. (A problem shared by LR, PS, and Aperture.) If I could run NN from inside LR, that would rock.
Oh, and I shoot JPEG because I shoot live events where the lighting is usually crap and I need to be ready at any moment for something interesting to happen. Shooting RAW would be nice, but it's too slow and takes up way too much space.
So here's what I do, (hopefully edited to make the reading non-tedious)
1. import all photos from source (usually memory cards)
The photos go onto a drive reserved for photos. I shoot events, so everything is organised by date-event. On import I set filenames (date - event name - time stamp.jpg) and keywords.
2. cull
They get marked "1" (irretrievably useless, to be deleted), "2" (keep just in case), "3" (decent shots), "4" (photos that I want to show to other people), or "5" (this is one of my best this year). Delete the "1"s.
3. select 20-30 "picks"
I create a folder within the event folder called "Picks" for these photos. Then I duplicate that folder as "Originals"
In doing it this way I can protect myself if I need/want to change my cataloguing application. I'm on my fourth one at this point (Lightroom) and while I am generally finding that LR is meeting my needs more than anything else I've tried, I've been burned in the past (how many of us have regretted letting Aperture put all our photos into an incomprehensible database/folder hell?)
The Picks/Originals structure makes sure that the originals never get touched (because it doesn't show up in LR) and I can quickly find the Picks.
I -was- writing the metadata to the files so the ratings, keywords, and IPTC info was where it should be - attached to the photo. I've stopped doing this for the time being until this whole Finder-craching debacle is corrected.
So why am I not using LR's built "Edit - Copy"/stacking function, which more or less duplicates my process?
Well part of it was my own dumbness - Aperture made the edited copy/variation a Photoshop file, which ballooned my collections with staggering speed. I'm not sure if LR used to do the same thing, or I just made the assumption. My mistake.
The other part of the problem is just the simplicity of having an Originals folder that is effectively ignored. Using LR will mix the "-edited" files in with originals, which is not as efficient or elegant a solution, but I'll give it a whirl.
Thanks for your suggestion. If giving up my Picks/Original process solves the rotation problem then perhaps it's a fair trade.
Still, it seems that the right hand is somehow oblivious to what the left hand is doing in the whole PS/LR thing, and that it ought not work that way.

Illustrator problem with edit orginal

Hi! to all
I have a problem with illustrator whan i place the picture i can use option "EDIT ORGINAL" i whant to edit picture in photoshop, i try relink, i googling but nothing...can you help me with this...how to enable option to use this, I am runing W7 x64
Thnx in advance

I take it you mean you cannot use Edit original, that is because you have embedded the file instead of linking it.
When placing the file there is a check box in the lower left side of the place dialog that says link when you select and highlight an image it will become available and you check it to make sure the file is linked and not embedded now you use Edit Original but you must highlight it in the Links Panel first.

Problems with editing items in ical

I use ical with icloud on my Imac, Ipad and 3 Iphones.
When i change an item on one of these devices and you press OK, you get to see your edited item for just a few seconds before ical changes the item back tot its old settings.
So lets say you want to change the time of an item in your agenda from 12.00 to 02.00 for example, it will show your changes for a few seconds before the item is back on 12.00 again.
This does not happen all the time. I thought it had something to do with editing items while ical is synchronizing but when you wait till its finished synchronizing it still happends sometimes. Eventually after editing the **** item 3 -5 times ical approves the changes but **** its annoying when you are in a hurry or dont have time to check up after you edited an item and it changes back without you seeing it.
All devices have had their latest updates and are all connected to the internet either by 3G, WiFi or LAN.
Anyone has an idea about how this is possible?
Thanks

Sorry I am having terrible trouble with even working out how to reply to these forums. I use photoshop elements 8 (and I have also tried Gimp) as I cannot afford CS5. The photo seem to be edited as TIFF and they do get imported. The photos seem to stack, but I am unable to open the stack to view the edited image - I thought when you click the stack it should expand and show all the editions of the photos next to each other. Sometimes - rarely - this works, but most of the time only the original raw file shows up. The crazy thing is even searching for the filename.tif doesn't find the file, even when I copy and paste the file name from Windows Explorer. But the edited file is in the catalogue somewhere because after deleting the original, the edited file shows up as above.
I dread having to edit the files in PE8 because of this, but sometimes this is necessary to be able to use layers and filters.
Note that using Gimp is just the same. I think the problem is in Lightroom.
