Problems Opening Lightroom File in Photoshop

I am trying to open a file from Lightroom in Photoshop. This worked seamlessly in the previous version (I'm now in 2.4). By choosing Photo/Edit In/Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS4...the file opens in a secondary display. I cannot then open the file in Photoshop as expected. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Lochinvar

I too have ACR5.4 and LR 2.4. I've tried opening a file with Photoshop already open but I get the same result. The file opens in a secondary window, meaning it goes to Window/Secondary Display/Loupe Locked. This is chosen automatically when I execute Edit In/Adobe Photoshop CS4. All my files reside on an external drive but when I try the same thing reading from my MacBook drive, the file opens as expected in Photoshop CS4.

    What happens if you start up PS CC 2014, first, and then try the Edit In?

  • Problems opening Raw files in Photoshop 7

    Hi there,
    Just got Photoshop 7 a week ago and started working on my Raw files. But i am not able to open them up in Photoshop When trying to "open as" and select the raw file another window pops up asking me for headers and dimensions, etc..
    All i get is a picture of some kind of grey texture??
    Cheers
    Christoph

    This is a Lightroom forum. Do you have LR, because that will open virtually any RAW file.

  • Problems opening video files in Photoshop CS6

    I appear to be unable to open any kind of video file in Photoshop CS6, I always get the error message "could not complete your request because it is  not the right type of document".
    I have noticed, however, that a couple of things seem to be different from all the video tutorials that are out there, e.g:
      1.  The Timeline dosen't seem to give me the option to open a file from it and appears to be a timeline for animation only (see image below)
      2.  The Mini Bridge dosen't show the movie files, e.g. on my desktop I have three different movie files (AVI, MP4 & MOV) and as you can see none appear (see image below)

    Thanks for your reply Pete.
    When I have a picture open the Timeline dosen't seem to have the "convert to video timeline" button you mentioned (see image below)
    Also HERE is the link to my system info you requested.

  • Problem opening video file on Photoshop CC

    When I try to open any type of video file, the message "Could not complete your request due to a program error" pops up. I am on a MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
    I can't get a video file to open at all. Please help!

    What specific Sony model? Is it a "MicroMV" model?
    Some Sony camcorders use a proprietary digital video format called "MicroMV". Those models can only be used with Sony's software which only runs on Windows.
    Quicktime, VLC, iMovie, etc. support numerous formats and codecs, but there are some formats (particularly from Sony and Microsoft) that are not supported. You might try posting your question on the iMovie and/or Final Cut forums. Make sure you post the camcorder model and what software you used to capture it to your PC. Perhaps one of the video gurus on those forums will have a solution.

  • Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

    This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS4
    Camera Raw CS4
    Canon 5D Mark ii
    I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

    Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
    After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
    I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
    I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update )  this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
    After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
    This led me to the video.
    To the point.
    Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
    open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
    Them " Preferences "
    then "General "
    Then " Plus-Ins"
    At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
    Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
    Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
    Hope this works for you as well.

    When I try to open a file in photoshop CS, Elements or Lightroom I get the message "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document"  This just started happening today. The only thing I have done differently is change my file handling to raw + jpeg on my Nikon 7100. 

    I downloaded camera raw 8.7 and I am now able to open my raw and jpeg files.   Thanks

  • I can't open .avi files in Photoshop CS5

    I used to be able to open .avi files in Photoshop just fine, but I’ve just tried opening one again after a couple of months and I can’t. It’s just black blankness. I have no problem with .mp4 files, but unfortunately, most of the videos I'm trying to make gifs out of are in .avi format.
    Is it because I've updated QuickTime? Or is it that Adobe CS no longer supports .avi files? It says here that Photoshop CS6 supports the .avi format.
    My specs:
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4
    Photoshop CS5.1
    QuickTime Player 10.3

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

    Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
    I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.  This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers.  It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow.  GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.  The codec was tentatively identified as:  C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm"  codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
    ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • Can't open PNG files in Photoshop CS5...??

    I'm seeing lots of threads with this problem but none of them seem to have an answer.
    For some reason right now when I try to open a PNG file in Photoshop it just crashes.  I end up with a neverending "hour glass".
    I had all of my website project directories on a network share.  As I'm no longer sharing all of these files with an office of people I decided to move all of these project files back to my own local machine.  Ever since I've done that I can't open PNG files in Photoshop anymore.
    Any information on what could have caused this, or more importantly, how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I was able to edit PNG files just fine up until today, and the only thing I've done is move the files from the network share to my local hard drive.
    Any PNG, large or small won't work right now.  All of the other threads I see where people are talking about this say it's happening with their GIF files, too.  I just tried one here and the same thing happened.  From within Photoshop I did File -> Open, browsed to my image directory and the moment I clicked on one of the GIF files it locked up.
    So yeah, I'm certain it's isolated to my machine right now.  I just have no idea at all what could possibly be causing this.  The other threads are mentioning netework shares, too, but usually still trying to open over the network.  In my case it was working fine when I did it over the network, but now that I'm opening local files it's failing.

  • Unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop.

    As from today,I am getting an unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop. I have made nothing more than as crop on the image. Why?

    Ernie, I misread your post indeed. I never saw a option to send RAW files to an external editor. All I can see is the option to chose what editor and then specify if PSD or TIFF is used. I always use PSD, usually 16bit and in one other installation in 8bit (due to RAM restrictions there).
    So Aperture creates the PSD version and PS edits that very version and saves it back into aperture. This is where I sometimes () get that "unsupported image" problem.
    I think this also is what Mike does: select a RAW master, use an external editor -> Aperture creates a PSD or TIFF. I haven't tried the TIFF option , though.
    My main point was: it all worked for a very long time and with the latest updates it is broken.
    have a good day.

  • Problem opening multiple pictures in Photoshop

    Problem opening multiple pictures in Photoshop.  OldBob1957 has given me some suggestions on how to overcome this problem.  I tried to Edit.Purge>All, Reset Preferences, Delete the Adobe Photoshop x Prefs.psp folders and Ctrl+Alt+Shift on Photoshop startup.  Did not work, what next?  Delete all the PSP folders.?  There are 45 more in my computer.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Noel:
    I reset the max memory to the high side as suggested but the results when I opened the pictures and changed them was the same.  I could open four but nto the fifth one.
    Lyndon
    PS:  In the event you haven't seen the start of the problem, I thought I would include it here:
      I am working on a picture file, jpegs, changing the size, the level, etc. I open several pictures usually
    3 or 4 and when I try to open the next I receive a pop up error message that says: "Could not
    complete your request because of a program error.” This has just started to happen recently,
    probably since I upgraded to CS6. Previously I could work on a file and have 100 or so pictures
    open and still be able to open additional pictures. I have downloaded and in installed all available
    updates and the message I receive when I check for updates is: “Your applications are up-to-date
    as checked less than a minute ago.” I tried to Edit>Purge>All, Reset Preferences, Deleted the
    Adobe Photoshop Ver. 6 Prefs.psp folder and pressed Ctrl+Alt+Shift on Photoshop startup and
    deleted Adobe Photoshop Settings file. Did not work, what next? Delete all the PSP folders? There
    are 45 more in my computer. Any help will be appreciated.
