PS Elements as the editor for Lightroom??

Is anyone using PSE 6.0 as the editor for Lightroom? I am considering it because it is much less expensive than a CS3 upgrade.
However, I am concerned about losing ProPhoto RGB as the color space between the two. Is this a legitimate concern?
Any other recommendations out there?
Thanks in advance for your help.

When you say upgrade... do you have some version of Photoshop? I'm still using CS2 and it works with LR.
If you've used Photoshop a lot, I would definitely try out Elements first. Personally, I didn't care for it. Yes, quick fixes are easier, but you can do that in LR. But if I had to pay many hundreds for Photoshop and I wasn't tied to certain features or plugins for PS, my attitude toward Elements would change real fast.

In Photoshop Elements 11, the editor workspace has stopped working and will not open.

Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?

I don't think it's available yet. The English help page has a link to it:

But the equivalent page for Netherlands only links to prior versions:

Same for DE, FR, ES. Maybe someone more enlightened knows if they're available somewhere else on Adobe's site.

Where is a good place/path/directory to create the catalogue for Lightroom 5 ?

Hi there,
Can I know where is the most proper/efficient and proper place/path/directory to create the catalogue for Lightroom 5?
Thanks

The default is the Pictures folder but its a personal choice. Some users keep the catalog on an external hard drive so that it can be shared between desktop and laptop computers.
Thanks 99Jon,
I am new to Lightroom.
Can I know what is this Catalogue folder for ?
Do you create a new catalogue for every timelapse project or do you put the pictures of all timelapse project into the same catalogue ?
Thanks

How do I set up Premiere Elements 13 as the custom external editor for Lightroom 5?

Situation
I own Lightroom 5.6 and I'm experienced. I've just bought Premiere Elements 13 and I'm a video-editing virgin (be gentle with me). I've spent a day experimenting, reading, watching videos and I'm still stuck (I've tried reasonably hard to solve my own problem).
Problem
I've tried to set up the custom external editor in Lightroom 5 to send photos to Premiere Elements, so that I can incorporate images into movies. Having set it up, when I use it by selecting Photo/Edit In/Premiere Elements 13/, there is an exciting lull as a copy of the image is created and appears in LR, then Premiere Elements launches, then what??? There is no clue as to what has happened to the image regarding its import into Premiere Elements 13. It doesn't appear on the screen, it doesn't appear in the Organizer, it's no-where to be seen, other than in LR!
Resolution sought:
Can anyone tell me
1. Is it possible to use Premiere Elements as an external editor in LR5 ?
2. What are the precise settings should be for each field?
3. If I configure it correctly, what does good look like: what should I expect to see happen in Premiere Elements?
I don't know if this is relevant: MacBook Pro 16GB 2.8Ghz i7, 750GB SSD (i.e. plenty of space, plenty of horsepower), OS X 10.9.5
I also don't know if I this is the right place for my question (Adobe directed me here) so please don't shout at me if I've come to the wrong place (I expect if I get no joy here, when I post it to an LR forum, they'll shout at me too :-)
Thanks
Phil

I do not have Lightroom 5 or other version of it. I did do some work on an earlier version tryout of it.
And, I believe now as then, that the answer to your question is No. Bottom line, if there is integration
to be found between Lightroom, it is between Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer, not the Premiere Elements Editor.
The following is the extent of my travels through Lightroom with focus the Slideshow Module.
Lightroom 4.1 Slideshow Module Visited - Elements Village
Good suggestion to get the Lightroom view point at the Adobe Lightroom Forum.

Using photoshop elements 12 as external editor for lightroom 5

When I have been in lightroom....then used elements as external editor....the photo does not save back to light room...how do you do that?
thanks

This issue has been reported numerous times in the last few months on this forum and the elements forum. Surprisingly the solution for some has been to save the file in PSE with the "save as" command instead of the "save" command. I know, this is the opposite of what "they" say but after seeing that solution in the forum several months ago I started following this rec and have not had a problem since, when before I too was having problems with the edits in PSE being saved back to LR 5.3. I don't know whether this is a bug in LR or PSE but there have been enough reports that it clearly is an issue. Adobe, however, is strangely silent on this. Imagine that! Anyway, give that a try and see if that works. Can't hurt.

How do you use Elements 10 as plugin for Lightroom 4

Have been trying to use Elements 10 as plugin for Llightroom 4.2. When I try to use prefences it can not find Elements 10. What am I doing wrong. It only shows videos of Mac not Pc

On a windows system it would better to link to the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 (64 bit system)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 (32 bit system)
In Lightroom: Edit>Preferences>External Editing

Changing the editor for Multi-File Find and Replace

When I click edit on a file it opens it up inside Word. Anyway to get this tool to open the topic inside RH? Or inside another text editor like Notepad++? I don't trust Word to leave my code like I want it.
Thanks in advance,
Jared
RH 7 (latest patches) authoring in RoboHTML
Win 7 64-bit machine

I just thought I would resurrect this thread, because I am encountering the same issue, except for me the Edit button just opens the topic IE. As such, the only way to edit the topic is to right-click and choose View Source, then do another Find to get to the bit I wanted to edit, which is a bit of a faff.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with IE9 and RH8. As well as the suggestions made here, I have tried changing IE's HTML editor from the developer window (as described here), which works for IE itself, but not RH. I've also tried editing the Registry and adding the path to Notepad++ to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList\Notepad++.exe\Shell\edit\command. Again, this makes no difference, which leads me to think there is no association between IE9 and RH8.
The twist for me is last time I used this tool I'm sure it worked, but it has been a while and I cannot remember what other software changes have taken place that could affect RH.

Matt

Using Photoshop Elements as External Editor for iPhoto

I have set up iPhoto so that I can use Photoshop Elements as the external editor. When I select a photo and choose 'External Editor,' Elements comes up but my photo is not displayed.

Hi Toomuchtrouble000,
When you are making the settings from iPhoto, make sure you select Photoshop Elements Editor, which is present in Support Files, not Photoshop Elements 11, which is actually the Welcome Screen.
Please change that setting.
Hope this helps.

Are there any limitations for importing Apple Aperture Libraries for Lightroom 5.7 ? What can be the hardware limitation importing large Aperture Libraries like 200 gb ? Or is importing larger Aperture Libraries even possible at the moment for Lightroom 5

As far as hardware restrictions, the only one I can think of is that you certainly need enough free space on your hard disk to accomodate the masters from your Aperture library.
IIn which case, ensure all your masters are "referenced" in Aperture, and that you then go to Options in the Lightroom import box and import photos in their existing locations.

How to setup PS Elements as default editor for LR4?

Hi all,
I have both PS5 and Elements 10 installed on my computer. Lightroom 4 selected automatically PS5 as my default editor. I am planning to switch completely to Elements 10, so I would prefer to have this program as my default editor. Unfortunately I do not see how to do this. Lightroom only allows me to setup additional editor and this option I am already using for Topaz Fusion Express. So my goal is to replace PS5 with Elements 10 as primary (default) editor. How to achieve this?

the default editor is set by lightroom.
When Photoshop Lightroom starts, it checks to see if Photoshop is installed. If it can't find Photoshop, it checks to see if Photoshop Elements is installed. If it can't find either, Photoshop Lightroom disables the Edit In Photoshop command. The Additional External Editor command is not affected.
If you uninstalled Photoshop CS4 after installing Photoshop CS5, some of the data required to Edit In Photoshop could have been removed. Reinstalling Photoshop CS5 fixes this issue.
On Windows, Photoshop Lightroom checks for the Photoshop.exe or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe keys in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\ directory of the registry. These keys provide the file path to the applications.
On Mac OS, Photoshop Lightroom checks for the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist or com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist files in the user's preferences folder. These files provide the file path to the applications, as well as other OS-related information about the applications. The plist files on Mac OS are created the first time applications are started. The files are also created any time the application is started and the files are not present.
however you can have as many editors as you want as presets.
thought... only the two "primary" have a keyboard shortcut.

Use of Photoshop Elements as external editor for JPEGS

Hi,
Aperture (1.5.4) only gives me two options for file format if I want to use Photoshop Elements 3.0 as my external editor. They are TIFF and PSD. I store my images on Aperture in JPEG.
How can I edit them in JPEG format in Photoshop Elements and back to Aperture?
Thanks
MST

To stay in the JPG world, you would export from Aperture using the export function, Import into Photoshop, edit, Save or Save As JPG, then Import into Aperture. Then re-group by manually selecting the original and the edited version and Stack.
Do-able but not effective.
The issue with JPG's is cumulative errors leading to visible artifacts every time you save. Artifacts very visible in solid color areas such as sky or painted walls as contours and bands.
So, using the "Open with external editor ..." option allows you to round-trip as a PSD. Yes, it consumes incremental disk space vs. JPG, but the upside is substantially better quality. This is I assume why Aperture does not support JPG round-tripping, and I certainly wouldn't advocate the approach either.
Note: JPG is an old standard by technology standards, which is its blesssing (universality) and its curse (poorer than needed performance). JPG weaknesses are well documented and Microsoft of all people created a new format recently and submitted to the JPG committee for standards approval: I believe this has been granted, and camera manufacturers are already starting to adopt. Thus the days of JPG as the preferred lossy compression algorithm for image files are numbered.
