Render in Lightroom option

Every time I want to 'Edit in Photoshop' from Lightroom 5.2 I get a message with an option to 'Render in Lightroom'.
My version of PS (5.1) does not support the latest version of Camera Raw which I need for my camera (EOS 6D).
Is there any way to make 'Render in Lightroom' the default action (rather than 'Open Anyway')? This would save me having to click the message every time I want to edit a photo in Photoshop - it is getting a bit tiresome.

Hi twenty_one,
You are correct, there is a checkbox, and I did try selecting that, but it appears that the default action is 'Open Anyway'. If you mark the check box then when you next select 'Edit in Photoshop' it tries to 'open' the cr2 file, which, because the CS5.1 compatible Camera Raw does not recognise the 6D format, causes the process to hang. The file does not open in Photoshop.
If I import a file from a previous camera which ACR can read, then the file opens as expected
You have to 'Reset all warning dialogs' to get the message back again. It would be useful if there was something like 'Remember my selection for files of this type in future'!!
I could go down the road of converting all cr2 files to dng but that is more time consuming than clicking the message every time!

Adobe After Effects CS5 Render Settings - Best Option To Pick

Hi,
I want to render a 1080p footage but we noticed that the some of the original colors were lost in compression - how can we retain the original colours?
We are using a JVC HD Camera (GZ-HD620bu) to record at 1080p-60p.
We tried rendering at QuickTime-with the video codec set to H.264
Is this the best one or should I be using something else? There are so many options to pick.
We want a reasonable file size we can upload to YouTube ... the length of the video is about 10 min.
If it takes long to render I dont really mind - just want the best quality.
Thanks.

I suggest you simply look for "H.264 Gamma Shift" on Google et al. There are endless discussions on the matter and ways to resolve it. and in those places you will also find sufficient info on mastering compression, including the fact that from AE you should not use the QT H.264 but insrtead the native H.264 exporter.

PS CS6 Render Video lacks options on OSX

I can see that the render video options are vastly different in OS X and Windows versions of PS CS6. Not only they are different layed out but as far as I can see a wide range of codecs are missing on the OS X version.
In particular, how can I export a video file using QuickTime container and H.264 codec in OS X version? If You select H.264 video it creates an .mp4 file whereas I wnat a .mov file. Same codec but different container.
Thanks

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

Any ideas?

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

I am wondering why when I try to edit a file in photoshop it will only open when I choose the render using Lightroom option. If I choose open anyway it simply does nothing. Same thing if I choose open as smart object nothing happens. I am have the latest updates. Using latest version of lightroom and Photoshop CS5.1. Can anyone shed some light on my issue?

Why does Merge to Panorama not allow rendering in Lightroom?

If I choose to Edit in Photoshop on one or more images, I get prompted that Camera Raw 7 may be needed for Photoshop to render the images correctly - which I understand as the versions of Camera Raw are different - and then get three options to choose from: Open Anyway, Render in Lightroom and Cancel.
However, if I choose Merge to Panorama the only options are Open Anyway and Cancel - I assume this is the same for Merge to HDR although I haven't tried it. So why can't Lightroom offer the same Render in Lightroom option when merging to panoramas? It's possible to work around it as I am currently doing, but it's a bit convoluted: Edit in Photoshop, Render in Lightroom, manually initiate Photomerge, save the resultant TIFF in the correct place, sync the folder to import it, then delete the original TIFFs Lightroom created that I didn't really want in the first place.
I'm assuming this is an oversight that will be corrected in the final version - would be nice to get that confirmed though!

I would guess that Render-in-Lightroom choice doesn’t apply when the number of input files (the RAWs in LR4) doesn’t match the number of output files from Photoshop (a single panorama or HDR file).
In the normal Edit In Photoshop situation the file you are rendering in LR on the way to Photoshop is what Photoshop is going to save to, so LR doesn’t need to delete any temporary files. When you make a panorama or HDR there are intermediate files that would need to be cleaned up, and instead of being an oversight, maybe it is just LR trying to be simple about things. Simple means that LR is not going to create and delete intermediate files for you along with not asking you how the temporary files should be named or where they should be created. The lack of camera-raw would be a rare and usually transient condition so would be a low priority in the overall scheme of things to implement a solution for.

My Feedback and complaints on CS6 and Lightroom 4

I really am having trouble finding any other way to send some feedback to adobe so maybe this makes its way to someone who cares.
Overall the feature enhancements to CS6 and LR4 are good, however they have been executed very poorly.
I am very upset with the way CS6 has been working in comparison to CS5.5. It is slow all around. When something needs to be updated the programs I have open start running super slow and exhibit strange behavior with mouse clicks and menus that I have not performed forcing me to lose time right in the middle of working on projects to update the software and restart then boot up all the programs once again and find my place. Several things that worked in CS5.5 will not work when the project is imported and updated to CS6 version. Additionally Lightroom 4 is god awfully slow compared to Lightroom 3 and the brush utility is extremely laggy.
The newest nusance to this update is that my application manager has now been updated and replaced with creative cloud application manager yet I do not want to use creative cloud, which is why I purchased a copy of CS6 and not CC. During this update I was working on editing some large panoramas in lightroom 4 and became super frustrated when it started bogging down and was essentially useless to use, right in the middle of a project.
Why does this happen since the application manager doesn't even have anything to do with LR4?
I am very disappointed in the upgrade from CS5.5 and LR3.
I hope that somehow, without having sign up for the Creative Cloud, that Adobe will improve the speed of the software and functionality and release a patch or update.
For reference here is the system I am using and have been using with CS5.5 and LR3 with no problems, great perforamne and good reliability.

Radial filters lost when editing/exporting to Photoshop

In LR 5.7, (latest Win7 64 Pro) in Develop, when I right-click an image and say Edit in Photoshop with LR Adjustments. The bug seems to be that it fails to apply radial filters. So the photo imported into Photoshop seems to have all filters applied correctly except radial filters. The work-around is that I have to manually export each photo, then load in Photoshop, save then manually import back into LR. Anyone else have this issue?

If using PS CS5 or earlier you'll have to use the 'Render Using Lightroom' option. If using PS CS6 you need to update to ACR 8.8, which is fully compatible with LR5.7.

It also explains why my pics coming back from PS still use 8-bit color even though I specified 16-bit in the LR prefs. Thanks!
When using Edit In with 'Open Anyway' (your previous setting) the file is processed using PS's ACR and not LR's ACR. Your PS ACR preferences must set to 8 bit color. You can change it to 16 bit by opening an image with PS ACR and clicking on the Workflow Options at the bottom of the panel:

Why doesn't picture corrections in Lr4/LR4.1 any longer follow to Photoshop?

When I edit a picture in LR4 and then open it in Photoshop none of the corrections show up. I could do this in LR3.

You're likely using a version of Camera Raw that doesn't support PV2012. The only one out that does is ACR6.7 Beta. If you don't want to go that route, you have to select the render in Lightroom option.

Camera Raw plugin compatibility

I have Photoshop CS2 and LR 4.4. Also, Nikon D80 & D800. Can I get the Camera Raw plugin update?

The latest compatibily ACR Plugin for PS CS2 is version 3.7.
Lightroom 4.4 is the equivalent of ACR 7.4 and has support for both of the cameras you quote.
If you are doing your processing of the raw files in Lightroom you can use the "edit in" function to send the file to PS CS2. When you get the miss-match warning select the option to "render using Lightroom" option.

Opening a RAW image from RL4 Beta in PSS5.1 I get this error message!

I can't find any reference to the ACR-7 plug-in on the Adobe Labs site.
When I select the 'Render using Lightroom' option, the rendered image looks the same as the RAW image in LR4 Beta,
that's good however you lose the Smart-Object capability, no more RAW image.
Will Adobe be releasing ACR 7 for CS5.1 or are we going to be expected to upgrade to Photoshop 6 :-( ?

Thanks for the update Victoria - although it probably confirms our worst fears!
I'm in agreement with the OP about this series of upgrading Photoshop just to keep Camera Raw in sync with Lightroom.
I've started a separate thread with a slightly different angle (ie the reliance and continued need for both Camera Raw and Lightroom
in the same workflow), and would be interested on your feelings on this... Thread is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/950168?tstart=0
Thanks in advance.

How do you upgrade to latest camera raw version?

CS5 tells me I do not need an update, I checked and I am running version 6 something. However lightroom is bugging me everytime I transfer a raw file to Photoshop that I do not have the latest raw and so may not open.

If you are using LR 4.x it is the equivalent of ACR 7.x and LR 5.x is the equivalent of ACR 8.x, so if you are using either of these Lightroom versions then you will get the warning dialog.
If you use the option "render using LIghtroom" this will ensure 100% of your Lightroom edits will be applied if you choose "open anyway" then the older version of ACR in PS CS5 may not apply all your LR edits.
Yes, it's really important to use the "render using Lightroom" option. (If ever you don't see that option, it may be because you've suppressed the warning, so go to "Edit..." menu, Preferences, General tab and click "Reset all warning dialogs".)
"Render using Lightroom" is the only way to edit in older versions of PS from Lightroom without corrupting Lightroom edits. You can't update ACR in older versions of PS - Adobe abandons support of products the very second it introduces a successor product.
The only problem with "Render using Lightroom" is that it creates a tif before running Photoshop, rather than only when you save in Photoshop, which means Photoshop is slightly slower to open (and leaves you with a tif you don't need if you don't save in Photoshop).
Of course, Adobe's answer to your problem is to subscribe to Photoshop CC...
Simon, CS6 ACR is upgradeable for new cameras so saying Adobe abandons support is not accurate just your perception. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything new just like you can run your car for as long as you like without being required to update..
Quite right, I was rather glib there. However CS6 is the only superceded version of Photoshop that still has any support AFAIK. And CS6 is still available for purchase, if you look hard, so arguably it's not quite superceded.
I think my general point is right, though. By comparison, Microsoft provide maintenance support for old versions of software often years after they are superceded. This is not just operating systems: superceded versions of Microsoft Office get maintenance upgrades for years after they are superceded. Adobe provide no support of superceded versions of software with the exception of CS6. Lack of new camera support in ACR for older versions of Photoshop has long been a grumble of photographers.
Personally I would regard 5 years support as reasonable, which would mean that CS5 should get new camera support until 2015. (And I don't regard use of the DNG convertor as adequate new camera support.)

Update locked up, never stopped; failed

I just ran Update in Ps, in order to get around the Lr compatability wearning re; "Ps Camera Raw plugin 7.3" that pops up when I try to send RAW files to Ps.
I clicked on all the Adobe products and after allowing it to run for several minutes I returned to find the Green progress bar at the end of the progress range, but "still upgrading". I checked the Task Manager and it showed the Upgrade Manager still "running". After about 30 I realized it was stuck to shut it down.
On the off chance that the upgrade actually occured I tried sending a Lr RAW file to Ps and got the compatability error again, saying I need to go to Ps and run Update. I went back to Ps and tried runing the Update again but now nothing happens when I click on the Update option. It appears to start, the round disk pops up, then dissappears, and nothing start.
So far I've rebooted my computer and run a restore point created before running the update.
So I can't upgrade and Lr still says I need to

If you have photoshop cs5 you can only update as far as camera raw 6.7
You can still open the images into photoshop cs5, but depending on what option you choose, there might be something that cs5 won't read.
If you choose the render in lightroom option, then the edits are baked into the file that is opened in cs5. (LR creates a file on the hard drive)
If you choose open anyway, i believe the photoshop acr does the processing and you might see some differences in the opened image (versus seen in lightroom) depending on what adjustments in LR you used.
Did you try a complete shutdown and start instead of just a restart?
I don't think the adobe forums have the option for a sig.

Raw 6.7 RC forces use of process 2010. Why and What is the point?*

I installed it and every time I try to make a picture use the 2012 item it forces me to use the old one. I have never seen such a useless go round the pole! Far as I see it does nothing. At least LR4 lets you use the thing. If this is what it does how do I uninstall? Thank you for the time to answer. Richard

Sorry, I do not see the point here. CR 6.7 is the current one used w/ CS5. If you have CS5 you need to keep CR 6.7. My original question was about the interface of CR 7 (in LR4!) and CS5. Adobe will (would not) not let CS5 use CR 7. If you use the beta of LR4 like I did then you might see the same question. The answer to that is that when/if you get CS6, the problem will go away as they then have the same version. Additionally, it is correct that, using LR4, either beta or purchased, you can use the "render in lightroom" option in the Camera Raw dialog box that comes up and it will then open in CS5 if you choose not to upgrade. hope ths is a bit more clear and helpful.

Update locked up cant restart it

I choose to update itunes a few days ago and it got pretty close to being done and then stopped. I gave it a few hours to complete th update thinking maybe it was just slow due to lots of people using it. I clicked to cancel the update and it did not cancel it or put my icon back on the desktop.
now its all jacked up, i cant figure out how to repair itunes because i run it off an external hard drive.
i cant delete everything and reinstall itunes because it says im still updating...
heeeelp
