The Lightroom external editor does not find Photoshop CC. What is the fix.

I have deleted the old preferences file and relaunched Lightroom with no success. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5.2 with no success. What is the fix.

Have you gone to LR preferences or just right clicked on the image?
I think if you go to LR preferences>external editing, you will successfully be able to enter a custom preset to PS CC, which should then be available when you right click.
Wortht a try...

Lightroom Does not Find Photoshop

I just installed Lightroom and have been toying with it.
I have Photoshop CS2 installed in the default location, but in Lightroom, under Edit > Preferences, in the External Editors Tab, it states "Edit in Adobe Photoshop (not found)." The option to Edit in Photoshop under Photo is greyed out.
Is there any way I can tell Lightroom where Photoshop is located?
As it is now, I have set up my Additional External Editor as Photoshop, but I am unsure if it is maxamizing compatibility when I save the file, and I'd really rather know why it did not find Photoshop on the install or first run?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Greg

Check out 'Lightroom does not recognize Photoshop CS2 - Windows' under 'Compatibility Issues' at
LR Extras FAQ to see if that helps.

Sending to external editor does not send adjustments

Hi all - having an issue sending to more than one external editor.
I send to a NIK plugin (color efex), apply a fillter and then save.
After that I may want to send to Photoshop.
If I make any ajustments in Aperture (to the filtered file - the new TIFF master) before sending to the second external editor thos adjustments will be ignored.
For example -
I start with a RAW file. I make adjustments in Aperture. All Good.
I send this to Color Efex and give it a cross process. Save.
Back in Aperture i now have a TIFF file (cross processed).
If I then (for the sake of this example) completely desaturate the color (now its black and white) and then send this TIFF to photoshop using the send to external editor command the image in photoshop will be *color* - with the cross processing on it.
If I cancel this and then go back to Aperture and send the Black and White Picture to Colour effects again, it's also not black and white.
In summery the adjustments made after the first "send to external editor" do not carry to the second "send to external editor"
(It should be noted that any adjustments made before the first "send to external editor" do in fact carry to the external editor. It's only the second round that does not.)
Am i looking at a bug here?
Any others had this experience.

Here is an Apple provided tip for working with Photoshop as an External Editor (which by extension currently applies to any use of third-party software used to edit images in conjunction with Aperture).

Edit in External Editor does not work

Hi,
I added as External Editor Photoshop CS3, but no matter what option I chose as file format, bit depth or color space, Lightroom will always apply the defaul setting in "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3" preference tab, rather than the one I select.
Do you know how to sort this problem out?
Thanks

Apparently Adobe associates the Edit In settings with the physical path of the executable so you cannot specify two sets of settings with one EXE; however, you can trick it into working by making a copy of the executable with a different name, and associate that second copy with the secondary Editor. I copied Photoshop.exe to Photoshop_.exe and the settings can be independently specified.

External Editor does not recognize LR changes

I have PS CS5 installed, and after moving to LR4 I find that editing from LR to PS does not carry over all the changes made in LR. The crop is retained, but all lighting and color changes are not. AND, I can't get to the screen the asks you if you want to edit a copy with or without LR changes. So I'm stuck. Any thoughts?
Thanx

Thanks to both of you for the answer. It is a bit tricky finding the 6.7 update - the regular update page only goes to 6.6.
It's because it's still a RC. Once the official release is made available, the update will occur as usual.

External editor does not add

Although I have Pixelmator and Photoshop CS4, neither are a drop-down option in ext editor pull down.... Topaz is. Any idea how to get the program to "see" that I own CS4 and Pixelmator to add these?

You can only have one app set as an external app.
To change your choice you simply select Topaz again and the window will open to allow you to select.

PS cc as External Editor does not add to catalog

In LR 5.2, when I edit a NEF in PS cc and save it to the same location as a jpg, the jpg appears in the catalog. If it is sorted by capture time it is next to the original nef.
In LR 5.3 the jpeg is not added to the catalog. It can be seen in File Manager in the same folder. It is not stacked.
I am sorry if this is a duplicate question.

You are selecting the wrong file in the PSE 10 folder as the file to use. It should be the one inside the Support file folder:

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

Lightroom 3 does not see Photoshop CS5 as Primary EXTERNAL editor

After removing prior versions of Lightroom (2.7) and Photoshop (CS4), Lightroom 3 does not recognize Photoshop CS5 64 bit or 32 bit as the PRIMARY external editor. I can select the file and edit in the proper file, but the other options are greyed out.

Missing Registry entry caused by uninstalling CS4 AFTER installing CS5.

Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing!

Lightroom does not open photoshop using "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command.
Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them. The
“Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
Is there a way to fix this? I use this feature frequently.

In reply to DdeGannes:
What’s broken? -- The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
Was it working before? Yes.
What happens if you click? - Nothing.
Do you get an error message? - No.

Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start

We uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but it still refuses to work.

I have the same problem, does no one from Adobe look at this forum? I have done the mentioned things and nothing works. I am trying to get a project done and this very frustrating. I too should have gone with a Mac

Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful! My email: [email protected]
Good luck.
Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer? It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website. <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Hope this helps.

PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does? How do I fix this?

PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does? How do I fix this?

Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
New >> Shortcut
Then browse to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
Then click next followed by finish.
You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
New >> Shortcut
Then browse to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
Then click next, followed by finish.
Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred.
