Sending images from lightroom 5 to elements 12 for panorama.

Hello. I have elements 12 and lightroom 5 installed. I go to send 5 images from lightroom to send to elements to do the pano. When I select the 5 images I want I click go to edit and then select merge in panorama. It then opens up elements 12 but after waiting for some time the images font show up. It used to work but now it don't. In lightroom 5 I have it set in the presences right so my external editor is elements 12. After a while I looked in my pictures section in windows and lo and behold all my images that I have sent to elements to do psn os with are in pictures section as raw files. So lightroom is sending them but not to my external editor.
Can someone please help me this is very frustrating.
thanks for any help you can offer me.

Which version of Lightroom 5 do you have?
Which version of camera raw are you using in photoshop elements 12?
In Lightroom what are the preferences at the top of the External Editing tab set to?
I realize that yours may be different, because you don't have photoshop installed, but here even though photoshop cc 2014 is on this machine, as long as i have pse 12 and not cc 2014 open before
choosing Photo>Edit in>Merge to Panorama in Photoshop, it does work for pse 12 with nikon nef files (camera raw files), but it uses the preferences at the top of the external editing tab instead of the ones below.
So if the Bit Depth is not set to to 8 bits/channel then photomerge doesn't work.

All of a sudden when sending photos from lightroom to photoshop for merging, I get "photo merge.jsx could not be found. I have used this previously without trouble

I have been working on photos in Lightroom for months and making panoramas in photoshop from lightroom without any problem. All of a sudden, today, I get a message when I try to send photos to photoshop "Photmerge.jsx could not be found"
Anyone know where it is? I don't find these words in my photoshop CS4 anywhere. Help!
I tried to use an old catalogue that I've used to make panoramas with photoshop many times and I get the same message.

I'm in the same boat...so far no one has helped here

I am unable to send images from Lightroom to PSCC2014 using the edit in command.

Since the latest update to CC2014, my LR edit in menu is not working; PS opens however no image appears.
I cannot send a single image to CC2014.
The merge to panorama is not working.
The open as smart object is working.
Open as layers is not working.
Merge to HDR Pro is not working - PC doesn't even open!

Ok, now, typically, it's mysteriously working. No idea if what I was doing caused it. Set up the account as a POP one using my work outgoing server instead of mail.me.com, discovered that the phone automatically removed all my outgoing mail servers, right after I'd activated them all, so went back and reactivated. Sent email successfully. Created another account as IMAP but everything else the same, and now it suddenly works.
This has happened to me several times in the past.

Why can't I move photos from Lightroom to Elements II for further editing?

Why can't I move photos from Lightroom to Elements II for further editing?

You can. select the image you want to edit externally then :-
In the top toolbar Go to :- Photo, Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
If this isn't working got to :-
Edit, Preferences, External Editing
.....and check that Ps Elements is set there. You are able to set two external editors.
Good luck!

Just got me a new camer canon 5D mark iii and now I can't send the images from lightroom to open in photoshop anymore

Hi Mark, I have lightroom and Photoshop CS6 and worked with it with my old camera, Canon 60D and had no problem
now I got me a new one, Canon 5D Mark iii and I can import the images into lightroom but I can't not send it from lightroom to photoshop. Also tried to drag and drop the picture image directly into photoshop but it wouldn't allow me to do so.
What do I have to do to get that working?

In Bridge, go to Edit->Preferences->File Type Associations

Sending Photos from Lightroom to Photoshop

Hey guys, when I send photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop (CS6), make changes and return to Lightroom, I will see a new frame with the changes I have just made. However, I notice that I lose my original enhancement settings from Lightroom. In other words, the enhancements on the photo are still there, but the sliders from the right hand tool bar have all been reset. Basically all the changes have been 'baked in' to the photo, so I can no longer make modify/delete the enhancements I originally made. This is particularly important when working with brushes.
Is there anything I can do to preserve these modifiers as I go back and forth between Lightroom and Photoshop?

Thanks ssprengel. My original image is in raw and was sending to PS using Edit In. Good to know it wasn't user error on my part. I'll just have to make sure in the future that all adjustments are final prior to sending to PS.
Alternatively, you can separate the LR adjustments into those that make most sense before going to PS, and those that make sense to apply afterwards (onto the image that is returned from PS into LR). The latter adjustments would not have been baked in, so would not be visible while in PS. But this would also mean they remain editable nondestructively, also they can be varied within different Virtual Copies that all refer to the same TIFF / PSD file on disk. Further edits in PS to that file, would show back into all those LR image variations, automatically.
When compatible PS and LR versions are used, there is the option to Edit in PS as Smart Object. This preserves the LR adjustments at that time, fully and nondestructively, as embedded settings that can be altered further if required, by pushing the Smart Object layer into ACR within the Photoshop environment. The updated image shows back into LR once re-saved. But any such method logically has to re-set the LR adjustments for the returned image, since otherwise those adjustments would be double-applied: once externally, and again by LR.
With Raw only "edit a copy with LR adjustments" is available. But with other image types, including those previously externally edited from LR, you can also "Edit original" and "Edit a copy" - these options retain whatever LR adjustments are active, avoid baking those in to the external edit, and re-apply them once again, to the saved result of the external edit.

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

Photoshop CS-6 does not open images from Lightroom 5

I do have Photoshop CS-6 and Lightroom 5. Nearly all images were created in a Windows 7 (64 bit) environment. I have moved platforms to MAC. I have moved all images and the Catalog. I have changed platform to MAC. I am now using MAC OS-X (10.9.1).
I am able to see all images in Lightroom, I am able to modify all images in Lightroom. I can export the images to Jpeg (for example) from Lightroom. I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
First time I have tried to open an Image from Lightroom (hand over) Photoshop opens, but does not show any picture and no error message. But when I then look to recently opened files, the image is in the list. When I do click on this, Photoshop shows and error message: "the datamodule can not handle the file format" (which is either RAW or jpeg).
Another expirience is, when I try to open directly from Photoshop any other image, Photoshop ignores the XMP and opens the original file without any modification.

That's normal if the raw files were originally edited in Lightroom. Lightroom stores all edits in the catalog, not the xmp sidecar. You can set Lightroom to write to xmp as well, but that slows it down a little and so it's off by default. The Lightroom shortcut ctrl/cmd+S will also save to xmp.

That's related to the above, and also normal if you go the other way - edit in ACR and then move to Lightroom. It'll then be in xmp, but not the Lightroom catalog.
As for the missing on-screen image, that's a common video driver bug (although I suppose other causes are possible). For Windows you can download updated drivers directly from the manufacturer's website, but that's not possible with Mac. You'll have to wait for Apple to fix it.

I'm trying to export a raw image from lightroom 5.6 to Photoshop cc 2014 2.1. I right click to export menu in lightroom as I've always done to export to Photoshop. Photoshop opens, but it can't open file, window opens to find a file to open. I'd like this to export my lightroom images to edit in photoshop as it has always been able to do for me. What fix do you recommend?

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Problems transferring images from lightroom to PS... why??

I'm using a imac 2011 and I was trying for the first time to transfer an image from lightroom (version 3) to PS (version CS3 10.01) using these steps:
select image, right click to "edit in", then selected "open as a smart object in ps" and then PS opens BUT no image is in it...??
I have checked for updates but it says it's all good. I have also tried just "edit in PS CS3" but same thing! Why is this?? please help...
Thanks,
Dina

Hey Dina. CS3 is no longer updated with the most recent versions of ACR, so it probably can't understand the file. Is the file from a recent camera?

Opening image from lightroom

When I open an image from lightroom as an edit copy it's profile is a psd file. PROPHOTO RGB. Should I convert to adobe RGB or use the PROPHOTO RGB profile? After edit in ps2 should it be saved as adobe rgb to be imported back to lightroom? Thanks, Owen

It depends on the use to which you intend to put the PSD file. If you're preparing for print, and that process can support PRo Photo space, I'd use that. Otherwise aRGB.

Has anyone had difficulties opening up an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CC?

Has anyone had difficulties opening up an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CC?

Hi Tom,
Kind of you to reply. My 'titles' conform, as they always have done. I've used a few versions of PSE over the years. Pics edited in an older version opened up no probs on ipad.
When I upgraded my camera a few years ago I had to upgrade PSE because the updated codec for shooting raw was not available for downloading to earlier versions of the programme. The same occurred again with another camera upgrade, which is why I am using PSE12 now.
Cheers

Uploading images from Lightroom 3 to CS5

Is there an easy way to upload about 100 images from lightroom 3 into Photoshop CS5 at one time? I'm trying to add my logo on all my images without pulling each one in at a time.

The graphical identity you can select in Export, needs to be applied the same to all of the images that you export using that setup - it seems you have general but not per-image control, over where it is anchored, how inset from the edges, how sized and how rotated. So that's good if you can find some compromise which works OK for all - or nearly all - of the images.
I guess if there are some images for which this watermark placement turns out not to work well, you can export just those ones again afterwards, overwriting, with different settings. Each can be named and saved, as an export preset, for repeatability.
But I can't find any way to easily individualise per image, while at the same time,. exporting (or printing as JPG) a whole lot of images in one batch.
The "droplet" method I described, works through your set image-by-image inside Photoshop, as a pre-recorded sequence of steps (a PS Action). If a pause-for-input can be included in this Action such that the user can step in and manually place the watermark image interactively, and then resume - then the output could be individualised. The downside is that there would be no persistence of this; except in the output copy. So it would all need to be reinvented afresh, each later time this export happened.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences
