Removing External Editor from Lightroom

I have purchased Photoshop CS3 and now I use it with Lightroom.
I have remove my old editor from my PC, but still shows up in Photo/edit other.
Is there a way I can remove this.
Thanks
Johnn

From the Lightroom Extra FAQ (should also apply to CS3 if running Windows):
Lightroom does not recognize Photoshop CS2 - Windows
Perform this at your own risk.
Here's how to fix it:
1) Run regedit.exe from start menu->run
2) Look for this folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\photoshop.exe
In that folder, there should be a key "Path" and its value should be the folder where Photoshop CS2 (or any other Photoshop version) is installed."
If your registry does not have that folder, created it and add a "Path" key with the value being the path to Photoshop CS2:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\

  • LR 4.3 - Can't Change External Editor from CS6 back to CS5

    Using LR 4.3 because of Retina Screen MBP.  Downloaded trial copy of CS6 with patch.  Every time I use CS6 as an external editor from LR, it crashes, especially when cloning.  Want to change back to CS5 as external editor in preferences but it doesn't seem to be an option.  Any way to do this?
    Thanks
    Barry Fisher

    As long as CS6 is installed Lightroom will choose it as the primary external editor. You can however have CS5 as a secondary editor.
    You do not choose the primary editor it will only be Photoshop, Lightroom will choose the most (senior) one installed CS over Elements and the latest version.

  • 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

    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.

    Good suggestion to get the Lightroom view point at the Adobe Lightroom Forum.

  • HELP- Need to set up Elements 10 as external editor from LR3, but layers aren't available

    Help! I am trying to set up Elements10 to open as external editor from LR3 but I must not be doing something right. When I "edit in" and select elements10 from LR3, it brings the photo up. However, none of the layers options are available. They are all grayed out. I need to be able to access layers. Help!!!! Anyone know what's going on?

    You probably exported the photo to photoshop elements 10 as a 16 bits/channel file, so go to Image>Mode in photoshop elements 10
    and click on 8 bits/channel so you can use layers.

  • Fuji Raw Conversion Software as External Editor in Lightroom

    Anyone know whether Fuji's Hyper Utility RAW conversion software (if I remember the name correctly) will work as an External Editor in Lightroom. (Just read an article by a Nikon photographer who uses Capture NX this way in Lightroom and wonder whether the same is possible for Fuji.)

    Thanks; I guess my question (which I did not state clearly) is whether if, at the end of processing in HV-S3 and "Save" the saved file (likely a TIFF) will automatically appear in the Lightroom Library associated with the original RAW file; this would be the chief advantage over just opening the folder with the file in HV-S3 to begin with, but it occurs to me that this may be a dumb question (as I've just downloaded and begun to use Lightroom and can't experiment with HV-S3 yet as it has not yet been released, but will be shortly). Thanks again.

  • Changing External Editor from Photoshop CS to CS5

    I've looked through the preferences pane but for the life of me can't figure out how to get iPhoto to switch its external editor from CS to CS5. Does anyone here have any idea? TIA!

    In iPhoto's General Preferences use that menu to select CS again. That will let you navigate to the editor of your choice to select it. It's not very intuitive, is it?
    This may be preaching to the choir but FWIW:
    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..

  • How do I remove a device from Lightroom Mobile?

    Hello Everyone,
    I lost a device that was signed into Lightroom Mobile. In Lightroom 5, it still shows up under “Folders”. How can I remove this device from Lightroom?
    Cheers,
    Jacques

    You need do nothing.  This limitation does not apply to itunes plus.
    Even so, all you would have to do is not sync it any longer.

  • Can I use lightroom as an external editor from Aperture?

    Could I use Lightroom to do edits on an Aperture file and then return the edited file to Aperture for saving or editing further?

    No.  You could use Photoshop or Acorn or Pixelmator or Gimp as external editors as they are all "pixel" editors.  But not Lightroom as it doesn't work the same way.

  • Edit in external editor with lightroom adjustments issue LR5 and PS CC

    Since several days when I try (in Lightroom) 5 to edit an adjusted file (NEF, JPEG or TIFF) in Photoshop CC as external editor (with the option "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments") in many cases the adjustments ar not visible in photoshop CC, or only partial visible, and sometimes the file opens not at all. Removal of the preference files of LR 5 and PS CC and  a whole new installation of LR 5 didn't resolve the issue. I have a macbookPRO with Mac OS 10.8.5 and the most recent versions of LR 5 and PS CC. Has anyone experienced this problem and what can be a solution.

    I have no idea, but have you tried File / Catalog Settings/ General tab: Relaunch and Optimize. Relates to the database.

  • Why can't we have Camera Raw 8.5 open as an external editor in Lightroom 5 to allow using the new filter brush

    ARC 8.5 has a new filter brush for the graduated filter which will allow deleting areas from the applied area - why/how can ACR 8.5 be set as a external editor to allow access to this ability???  . Or when will Lightroom be upgraded to have this feature?
    Thanks

    ACR 8.5 is a plug-in for Photoshop not a standalone program.  I’d suggest doing an Edit In Photoshop CC/2014 and then using Filter / Camera Raw in PS to do your edits.
    I would also LR will be upgraded at some point, but maybe not until 6.0.  It’s hard to say, since the LR folks are having to deal with LR mobile things, now, too, PS is part of the cloud, and a promise of the cloud is to get new functionality sooner.

  • Error when trying to edit in external editor in Lightroom 4

    Hi all, need help please with Lightroom 4.
    I have an external photo editor set up so when I choose "edit in" it goes to that editor, not photoshop.  I am getting the following error "Unexpected error performing command: bad argument #1 to 'lower' (string expected, got nil)".
    I have tried repairing and reinstalling the program to no avail.  I have tried setting up a different program for the external editor, same problem.
    This is working as it should in Lightroom 3.6.
    Thank you for any help.

  • How do I change my external editor in Lightroom back to CS5?

    I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.  I installed CS6 to experiment, but I don't really want to "work" with it.  However, it changed the settings in Lightroom to default to CS6 as my external editor.  How can I change this back to CS5?

    Hey,
    I checked with Kelly Castro on the LR team and he said you should be able to save each of your external apps as presets and then they should both be available.  He gave me the steps, too:
    1.  Lightroom > Preferences > External Editing
    2.  Under Additional External Editor,clci the “Choose” button next to Application
    3.  Navigate to Applications folder and select Photoshop CS5
    4.  Set Editing attributes (File Format, Color Space, Bit Depth, Res)
    5.  Click on preset menu and select “Save Current Settings as New Preset”
    6.  Name the new Preset “Photoshop CS5” and click “Create”

  • 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.

  • Set up Element 10 as external editor in Lightroom 3, it does not work.  What's wrong?

    I am using Lightroom 3.  Just bought the Element 10 and set it up in Lightroom as external editor.  It does not work at all.  What's wrong?

      Make sure you are linking to the application and not a shortcut. If using Mac OSX you may need to reveal hidden folders.

  • How do I change the main external editor from PS CC to PS 6?

    I put a trial version of PS CC on my computer and Lightroom 4 has changed the main external editor to the CC trial version. I don't want this to happen and I don't want PS6 to be an "Additional External Editor." I want the main editor to be PS6 at all times but I cannot seem to change this.
    Is this possible or is the only solution to get rid of the trial version of PS CC? If I trash the trial version of PS will Lightroom 4 automatically "find" PS6 again.
    Thanks

    Thanks Gener7, but that did not work.
    I also tried opening Bridge’s Preferences> File Type Associations and clicking the Reset to Default Applications button.  Then see Photoshop CC 2014 listed next to all basic image formats.  but did not work
    Also tried this: but did not work
    --Open Bridge. 
    --Use the Keywords panel menu command Export to save your keywords (not in the Bridge or Photoshop folders or their support folders).
    --Quit Bridge.
    --Hold down the Command-Option-Shift keys.
    --Launch Bridge.
    --When the small dialog box appears, release the three modifier keys and elect to replace the Preferences and purge the cache.
