Sending Raw files from Lightroom 4 to Elements

Hi,
I am using the trial version of Photoshop Elements 11.
However, I can't send Raw files directly to Elements from Lightroom 4. Only PSD, Tiff or Jpegs.
I have downloaded the latest camera Raw plug ins so both Elements and Lightroom have Camera Raw 7.3.
Please can anyone help.

Hi,
Lightroom 4 doesn't contain a native ability to do what you are asking, but I wrote a plugin that might help you do what you want. It's called TPG Elemental. It helps with those many situations (e.g. creating panoramas or opening files in layers) where creating intermediate files on disk is pointless and just creates more work (or consumes more disk space) for you to manage.

Can photoshop CC open raw files from Lightroom 5?

Trying to open raw files from Lightroom 5 in Photoshop CC 2014, with no luck.
Anyone?

Problems are as follows— all versions are current.
1. When in Lightroom, trying to open a photo in Photoshop,-- choosing Photo>Edit in Photoshop CC 2014— Photoshop opens but no photo appears. The only time a photo opens is if it is a JPEG… CR2 does not open, dng does not open
2. When trying to open a JPEG in Photoshop, dialog box opens offering choice between "Edit Original", "Edit a copy", or "Edit with Lightroom adjustments", Only choosing “Edit Original” allows photo to open.
3. When in Photoshop choosing “Browse in Bridge” does not open Bridge… opens CC app and prompts me to install another version of Bridge, or keep version I have. (See attached screenshot) Either way it’s a malfunction… as I said earlier all versions are leanest.
PLEASE HELP!!

Opening RAW File from Lightroom is automatically saving a PSD or TIFF. How to turn this off?

I recently upgraded to LightroomCC and Photoshop CC however now when I go to open my RAW files from lightroom it is automatically saving a PSD copy when the file is opened. I don't want it to do that because I don't need those files - for some of my stuff I just need to open the file, edit, and save a jpg when done. This was not a feature on the older version of Lightroom and I can't find any place to turn this off.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Maybe this extension: Second Search 0.7.2012122901
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Just bought Nikon D600, can't open the raw file from my Photoshop element 9, please adivise. Thanks

Can't open the raw file in my Photoshop Element 9 from my new Nikon D600, please help. many thanks
Brian

Hi,
The D600 requires camera raw version 7.3 or later - that is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.
You need to either
1) upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 or 12
or
2) you can download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert you NEF files to DNG files and then PSE 9 can read the DNG files
The latest version of the DNG converter that you can use will depend on your operating system.
For XP or Vista :
DNG Converter 8.3
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
For Windows 7 or 8
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5
For Mac
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5

Can't open a raw file from Lightroom to Photoshops ACR

I got used to using Lightroom 3 as a place to catalogue and store my images but still process my Raw files in Adobe Photoshops Raw Convertor. Now that I have Lightroom 5 I can't find out how to do this. With version 3 I just highlighted say 3 files and hit command E.
I know I can open an image as a smart object and go about it that way but I can't open multiple images from Lightroom to ACR.
I know people will say '' hey well do your Raw work in Lightroom'' but I got used to using the Photoshop Raw convertor and I spent a lot of time and money learning it.
Surely there is a way to open say three images from L5 to ACR ???
Please help this has been driving me nuts, It's suggested I will need to start using Bridge but I'm bewildered and don't want to start learning something new.
Thanks in advance.

It has been a long time since I even had Lightroom 3 installed on my computer. I don't recall the behavior you are describing. ACR is used to translate the adjustments made in Lightroom as the image is transferred to Photoshop. You may have become accustomed to a certain behavior, but it doesn't work that way. The process of moving from Lightroom to Photoshop works on the assumption that you have done your raw adjustments using Lightroom, and you are now passing that image to Photoshop.

CS2 problem with 5D MKII RAW files from Lightroom 2.2

Ok, this one is weird. I have tried it on two different computers with the same resulting problem. If I convert a full size RAW 5D MkII to Tiff in the new Lightroom 2.2, then bring it into CS2 and covert it to 8-bit and try to save as JPG, it always comes up with a program error. I tried an sRAW file with the same process and it worked fine.
Just to make sure I did have something else messed up, I converted in DPP to tiff and then went to CS2 and saved as JPG just fine.
Anyone else try this and see a problem? Looks like it's a combination of a problem with the new Lightroom, plus CS2.
It almost seems like CS2 doesn't have enough memory to convert the file to jpeg. I have had this program error before in CS2, but with much larger files. The 5D MKII should not overrun memory.

This is a known bug in CS2 where it trips up because of the (valid) metadata written by Lightroom. You need to delete the xmp metadata written by Lightroom from the file before saving as jpg or export from lIghtroom with minimize metadata checked.

Exporting .CR2 raw file from Lightroom 4 to CS6

For an unknowed reason, my raw files do not export from Lightroom v4.3 to CS6. When I want to make some retouching with a .CR2 file in Lightroom v4.3 in CS6 when I hit command-E it opens CS6 but the file does not import in CS6.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
tche.

As a first measure, go to >Edit >Preferences >General tab and click on <Reset all Warning Dialogs>.
Then try again with Cmd + E, and report if you get any message and what the message says.
BTW: Did you really mean CS6?
Because this behavior could be expected if you have CS5 or earlier.

How do you export a RAW file from Lightroom?

I am trying to export my RAW files to my desktop (on a mac) so that I can send the files via email. Is this possible?

You can't save it as the original RAW file, (e.g. .CR2 or .NEF) but you can export as a DNG file. Go to File settings > Image Format > DNG.
P.S. You should be able to send an NEF or CR2 file by email as long as it doesn't exceed the file size limit

How to open raw files from a panasonic gx7 in lightroom 4

just bought a panasonic gx7 camera unable to open the raw files in lightroom 4,elements 9 and elements 11. have downloaded dng 8.2 still wont open raw files

You can't just download the DNG converter. It has to be installed. It is a standalone program that you must run independently from Lightroom. You choose a FOLDER in the DNG converter, and it will convert all the images in that folder. Have you tried to do these things?

Importing RAW images from iPhoto to Elements 8

I just successfully downloaded Elements 8 (the free trial version). I have an iMac, and until now have used iPhoto for all of my photo file storage and editing needs.
I need to import some of my original RAW files from iPhoto into Elements 8. How is this accomplished?
I got the images I wanted into Elements 8 by selecting all the images I wanted to import, then dragging and dropping. The result? The images all got imported into Elements 8, but they are showing up there as jPegs.
The images were originally brought into iPhoto as RAW files, and I never converted them into jPegs, so they should still be RAW files in iPhoto. Why, then, do they show up in Elements 8 as jPegs? And how do I import directly from iPhoto into Elements 8 and keep the images being imported as RAW files?
Any insights/help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Direct editing of raw file from LR in Camera Raw?

Does anyone know if it is possible to take a camera raw file from lightroom and open it directly in Camera Raw for editing rather than use the editing in LR itself. I thought I read somewhere that it is possible to do this as an automatic setting - when choosing the "edit in Photoshop" menu option a raw file will be opened in Camera Raw and the changes tracked in LR. I prefer the Camera Raw interface in Ps so am hoping I can do this and then proceed on to Ps if I need to do further processing. I am using LR4 and Ps6 on a Mac with the latest updates. I am a recent convert to LR/Ps from Aperture so am still learning. Any help appreciated. Cheers

I would recommend exploring several of the free tutorials on the Adobe TV web site, before deciding on a specific workflow. LR Develop Module does the same things that ACR Plugin does in PS, the major difference being LR stores the info in the LR Catalog while ACR stores the info in .xmp sidecar files or within the DNG file if you are using that option. The link to the tutorials is

Will Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4 support conversation of RAW files from a Nikon D800?

I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 9 and must convert RAW files from my Nikon D800 to .dng files before processing using a added converted. I'm considering upgrading to either Elements 11 or Lightroom 4 but want to know if either of these programs will support the nikon D800 RAW files without having to go through this extra cumbersome step. Additionally, if I do go with Lightroom 4, will the transition be easy or difficult and what problems might I encounter?

Yes the D800 is fully supported in both applications.
You would certainly benefit in processing your 36mp raw files using Lightroom if you have a 64bit PC or Mac with additional memory (RAM). The Lightroom develop module is where you do all the editing and you get the benefit of the full CS6 raw engine in an intuitive interface.
If you regularly use the Elements Organizer you should understand Lightroom quite easily.
Why not download the free trial of LR4 and test for 30 days.

Send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object"

how to send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object" not a flat "image" so it does not flatten the image but so I still get all the adjustments i have made in lightroom to show up in photoshop?

Select the image in Lightroom, choose 'Edit in' from Photo menu then choose 'Open as Smart Object in Photoshop'. The file will transfer to Photohop (Ps) complete with Lr applied edits which can be refined in Camera Raw by double clicking on icon in the Ps Layers panel (see screen shot).

Elements 10 will not read RAW files from my new Lumix G5

All my RAW files taken with Lumix G1 are fine but the RAW files from my new camera (Lumix G5) won't open. What should I do?
Looking at help in E10, it says ACR is version 6.7.0.339
Elements 10 is version 10.0 (20110831.m.17215)
Any ideas?

You need at least ACR 7.2 for those raw files, and ACR 7 is not compatible with PSE 10. So you have three choices:
1. Upgrade to PSE 11 (not the mac app store version, which is stuck at 7.1). If you are considering this, I would wait a month or so, since Adobe historically releases a new version every Sept/Oct.
2. Use the panasonic software (silky pics?) to convert the raw files and send the resulting images to PSE for further processing.
3. Download the free adobe DNG converter, which can create DNG files that are compatible with your version of ACR.

Photoshop CC locking up saying "Reading Camera Raw Format" when opening file from Lightroom

When I open a file from Lightroom, CC opens and asks about sending data to Adobe, and no matter what answer you give the program locks up at the "Reading Camera Raw Format" prompt.

What files from which camera do you use? Where are they stored? What system? Are Lightroom and Photoshop properly updated and use the same RAW settings? Provide more info.
