Saving edited image back to photoshop from lightroom

In Lightroom 4 and Photoshop cs5 I could export to Photoshop from lightroom...edit....then save and the edited photo would go back to Lightroom complete with edits. Now in LR5 and CC the edited image does not go back to LR I have tried syncing no avail...any idea?

I just recently started trying to use my Photoshop CS3, after acquiring it 3 years ago, and never quite getting around to tackling it, since I was still using good old PS v.7.0. I finally made the leap. What a shock! The CreativeSuites version is entirely different from the old versions, and, so far, impossible for me to figure out. Most of the functions I was used to are drastically reconfigured from standard PS's. (I'm going to have to get a Users' Manual or take another class.)
One thing I DID figure out is the function you are questioning. Export a downloaded iPhoto shot - from your iPhoto - to the desktop; Open Photoshop and open the iPhoto shot (will be in the Preview mode) in Photoshop, save as a Photoshop tiff, and do whatever editing, retouching, etc. in Photoshop. Save, and then from iPhoto, import - fom desktop - back into iPhoto Library.
If anyone know where i can get a comprehensive (beginners") manual on how to use the CreativeSuite version of Photoshop, please communicate! (After 3 years, I can't locate any manual that may have come with the software and there is no PDF version that I can find on line. I am completely mystified.)

Saving edited images back to iPhoto

I'm having problems saving images in PSE back to iPhoto.
I have set up the preferences in iPhoto (11-for Mac) to use PSE 10 as the editting software. I have also followed Barbara B's guidance on setting the file saving options in PSE10 to 'One first Save' - 'Save over current file'. - but once I have editted an image and I wish to save it (back to iPhoto) I am instead given the usual choices associated with a 'save as...' option. To minimise effort, I then save the changed image to the Desktop and then drag it back to iPhoto.
I know this have been covered before I have read the solutions, but it seems that the changed image it not automatically being imported back to iPhoto.
Perhaps I have not set up the Preferences correctly - any suggestions?

If you start the process in iPhoto by hitting the edit button near bottom right, then any changes made in the external editor should update automatically after you save in Elements (Cmd+S) and close (Cmd+W)
The process is not always smooth with raw files but should work with jpegs.
Note, you cant use the editing tool in iPhoto once you set up Elements editor as the external editing app.

Having trouble saving edited images back to organizer.

After I save images in Editor, they don't always "save".
I get "IAC error failed message", and sometimes image doesn't save at all after numerous editing steps.
Thanks in advance.

I cannot edit a photo in photoshop from lightroom?

Command E does not work? I have downloaded and reinstalled both programs without success?

Others have this same problem. See discussion at Re: Photoshop CS6 does not open or create files
I finally got CS6 to work but have no idea what I did that caused it to start working properly again.

Hi Karen
You may the sort set to Custom. Click the dropdown menu on the toolbar (to the right of the word sort) and change to capture time.
If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press the T key. Press T again to hide.

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable.

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!

I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected. I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset.

Images won't import from Lightroom. (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6)

Images won't import from Lightroom to be edited. There were no problems until I upgraded to Photoshop (2014). LR & Photoshop work well independently (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6). All are up-to-date.

I had the same problem. It seems the scripts that control the transfer of images from LR to Photoshop got deleted or messed up. The fix I found on the LR forum was as follows:
This solution allows you to run a repair installation without uninstalling Photoshop CC 2014. If you've already uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014, install it from the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application.
Open the Creative Cloud desktop application.
Select the Apps tab.
Scroll down (if necessary) until the Find New Apps section displays.
On the same line as Find New Apps, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.
Click the Install button next to Photoshop and select CC 2014.
Click Yes, install this version.
Once I did this, the interaction between LR and PS CC 2014 started working again. I did notice that Photoshop showed up as needing to be updated in the Adobe CC application so I just clicked on the update button and after a few minutes photoshop had been updated. The importing function still works so I think everything is OK.
Not sure if this was part of the problem, but after updating the PS CC 2014 application the first time, I uninstalled the original PS CC application as I didn't need it anymore. I'm thinking that may have caused the scripts to be uninstalled along with the PS CC application. Rerunning the installation put things back to normal.
Hope this helps.

Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom doesn't work; Automate Photomerge doesn't work

Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom doesn't work.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
Likewise, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... I pick all the images for the PHotomerge and hit "okay," but nothing happens. Makes me think it's Photoshop, not Lightroom, that is all wacky.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and reinstalled. No change. I also tried dumping PS preferences, but that didn't affect a thing, either.

None of my "Edit In" worked with the pictures in Lightroom for a particular folder. I expanded the 2014 folder and found that two subfolders had a "?" in front of the 2014-07-04" and another. In other words, the folder was missing. After I found the missing folders using the Lightroom "Find Missing Folder" option, I was able to use the "Edit In" menu item. The 2014 folders weren't expanded at first, so I didn't see the ? marks in front of them. With the missing folders, Lightroom's "Edit In" option was basically telling me there was no picture to "Edit In." Howerver, I have Previews and Smart Previews made when I import picture files into Lightroom. So, the "pictures" showed in the slide strip on the bottom, and also in the display in "expand," but it was actually only showing the previews I had built, not the actual missing pictures in the missing folders. I had accidentally moved some directories using Windows Explorer, and I didn't realize my "happy fingers" moved them outside of Lightroom. Of course, Lightroom has no way of knowing I moved them, and just shows the "?" before the missing folder name. After expanding the root folder, then knew what to do. Fixed it easily. It was frustrating, and took about 20 minutes to see the problem. And that fixed the greyed-out "Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014, and all the other plug-ins were greyed out too.
Hope this fixes your problem.

When I open an image in Photoshop from Lightroom it does not show any adjustments, without restarting photoshop between each picture.

I am using Macbook Pro, Photoshop CC, and Lightroom 5.
The problem is: When I start edit in photoshop from Lightroom, the adjustment in Lightroom does not showing up in Photoshop. This has never been happen before while using Photoshop 6.
I have tried to reinstall the products several times, including OS Yosemite. But it does not help.

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

After editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4

after editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4 can anyone help?

In Library, set your sort order to Filename instead of Added order and see if the files show up, then.
How are you doing the Save in PS, using Save or Save As—one will show up, one won’t, I think, but I don’t remember which.

Problems with files opened in Photoshop from Lightroom

Hi,
I started editing a large number of files recently and came upon strange problems when sending files to Photoshop from Lightroom:
1. Sometimes, all edits will be transferred to Photoshop except for the Lens Profile Correction. I tried clearing all changes and starting again, and it didn't work. However, if Lens Profile Correction is the ONLY change I make in Lightroom, it is correctly shown when the file is opened in Photoshop. [EDIT: I thought it was only the Lens Profile Correction, but with some files it appears other edits are disappearing too, such as cropping.]
2. Sometimes, and I can't seem to find any pattern for this, files I sent to Photoshop will open as only "slices" of images. In fact, there is only one sliver of the image that gets opened. Sometimes it is a vertical line, sometimes a horizontal line, usually about 1/20 as thick as it is long. For that problem, I haven't found a solution yet.
I am using the latest versions of Lightroom, Photoshop and Camera Raw, with RAW files created with a Nikon D7000 camera, on an iMac from 2011. I have no software or hardware problems apart from this.
Here's hoping someone can help.
Thanks!

Error launching Photoshop from Lightroom

I use Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5 from the Creative Cloud. After upgrading to Yosemite I am getting an error launching Photoshop from Lightroom. When I right click an image in Lightroom and select edit in Photoshop I get an error: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." I reinstalled Photoshop CC 2014 and I am still getting the error. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Uninstall Photoshop, Lightroom and the CC app, run the Adobe CC Cleaner tool, and re-install. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Workflow - Aperture to Photoshop, edited image back to Aperture?

Hi experts...
I'm sure I am doing something wrong here, I just don't know what it is...hoping you can give me some advice.
Let's say I have a RAW file in Aperture (a referenced file, if it makes a difference) called "A". I want to tweak this photo and then post to Flickr. For various reasons, I choose to edit this particular image in Photoshop. So when I tell Aperture to edit "A" in an external editor, it creates a version (I think?) called A.TIF and then takes me into Photoshop.
After my edits in Photoshop, I want to save the image as a JPEG for exporting to Flickr. I save it as "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG". Before I exit, Photoshop asks me if I want to save the changes I made to the TIF. "Naaaah," I think...I've got the JPEG.
Now, here's where it goes sideways. I would hope/expect that when I return to Aperture, "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG" is 'linked' to the original version, or at least appears in the catalog. It doesn't. I have to import "SomeDescriptiveName.JPG" into Apeture.
This seems really messy - is there some way to have the edited image show up in A3 and have it linked (version, whatever) to the original? If not, is there a way to at least have the edited image automatically show up in the Aperture catalog?

Aperture expects the same file format back. In PS, just close the file (save when asked) and it will show up in Aperture with the PS changes (and in the format in which it was sent to PS). You can then use Aperture to export (in any way you want).
Alternatively you can just export from Aperture and then save/save-as from PS. In this case your edited photo is not in your Aperture Library. This method is generally considered less desirable.
Here is the relevant section from the Help file:
*To use an external editor in Aperture*
Select an item in the Browser.
Choose Photos > Edit with > {application name} (or press Command-Shift-O).
Aperture creates a new master (leaving the original unchanged), converts it to the chosen file format, and then opens the file in the external editor. The file is tracked as a new master stacked with the original master.
When you’ve finished modifying the image, audio, or video file in the external application, save the file.
The saved file is automatically updated in Aperture.
