Transfer from lightroom to photoshop with edits to image from lightroom

My images in lightroom are not keeping thier edits that have been made to them when they are exported to photoshop......how do i fix this?

If you're using the Export option under your File menu, you are exporting out of LR and it will no longer track the images.
In order to have LR add your new PSD or TIFF file from Photoshop to your catalog, you have to open it through LR.
Easiest way is to right click the file you want to retouch and select "Edit in Photoshop." LR will create a new .TIFF or .PSD and append the filename with -Edit.
You can set your preference of file type under Lightroom>Preferences>External Editing.
You can also enable "Stack with Original" (my personal preference)

  • How can I pull photos from iphoto into Photoshop to edit them?

    Uploaded some photos on my new Apple Mini (I'm converting from Windows to Mac) and they uploaded fine - but then I couldn't see how to get them from iphoto into Photoshop to edit them. Surely they must automatically save but if so, where??

    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files or versions should I have in my database of images?

    When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files should I have in my Library?  I start with a RAW file or a tiff scan from film. I label that "A" as the archived file. I make a virtual copy to work on in the Develop module. When I am done, I save a file as a Print file with dimensions of the print.  Since Lightroom is non-destructive, do I need to save any other versions?  For instance, in Photoshop since the crop is destructive,
    I edit an uncropped version and do the crop when I am working on the Print version.  What should I have for the most flexibility over time in Lightroom? 
    I use Lightroom CC on a IMAC desktop.  My photos are on a separate hard drive and are also backed up offline.  Im running OSX10.9.4.

    You don't need to make a virtual copy before you edit the photo (this is optional, but most people don't bother as its extra work with little or no benefit). EXCEPTION: If you are doing multiple crops of the image, you would need virtual copies in that case, created after all other editing is completed.
    You can't "save" from Lightroom, you can "export". (It's a terminology thing) You would need to export a photo at the desired dimensions for printing, but there's no need to retain this exported photo, you can consider it temporary and delete it once the print has been made, knowing that you can always re-create it exactly from Lightroom if you need it.
    So to answer the question in your title, all you need to retain on your hard disk is your original image (and in the EXCEPTION case where you have multiple crops of the image, you would retain the multiple virtual copies in Lightroom).

  • How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

    How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • I've edited an image on Lightroom and gone back and edited again.  Is there anyway to get back to that original edit of the image?

    I've edited an image on Lightroom and gone back and edited again.  Is there anyway to get back to that original edit of the image?

    In the History Panel (on the left) of the Develop Module, click on any previous edit to see what the photo looked like at that step.
    If you are going to regularly want to see two versions of edits on a single photo, consider using either virtual copies or snapshots.

  • Sending photos from lightroom to photoshop to edit

    In lightroom I want to sent the photo over to photoshop to edit. I select “edit in photoshop cc2014 and then get 3 option 1: edit a copy with LR adjustments 2: edit copy 3: edit original.number 1 workers sed over file but with no layers.  2 & 3 I get a message “some of the application components are missing from the application directory Please reinstall the application.  I have reinstalled both LR and PS from the cloud and the problems the same. I am on a Mac. I only just started having this problem

    First I send a raw file from LR to PH you do some changes and then send it back to LR as a tiff file. when you want to send it back to PS (so you can open it with changes i.e. layers) you get get 3 option 1: edit a copy with LR adjustments 2: edit copy 3: edit original.number 1 workers sed over file but with no layers.  2 & 3 I get a message “some of the application components are missing from the application directory Please reinstall the application.
    My Mac is only 6 weeks old and it did work until the cloud asked me to reinstall LR after that I get this message (some of the application components are missing from the application directory Please reinstall the application. ) 

  • Photoshop CS5 edits not showing in Lightroom

    Experiencing strange behavior and would appreciate any advice...
    Am editing .CR2 files, then doing Edit in > Photoshop CS5 > Edit with Lightroom Adjustments and "Stack with Original".  All goes fine until I save and the new image is now displayed in LR.  If I want to do a subsequent edit to the now-stacked .psd file, using Edit in > Photoshop CS5 > Edit Original, then saving, those edits are not showing up in Lightroom.  Strangest is that if I then do Edit in > Photoshop CS5 > Edit Original to the file again, my edits are there in Photoshop.
    I think this is an issue with Lightroom updating / syncing its preview (I'm looking at these in both Grid and Loupe) so that I can't see the latest version of what I edited.  Also, sometimes I can get it to update by changing zoom levels and having LR go back to re-recreate the preview (I assume).  I have also seen this behavior (it's more obvious in this case) when doing B&W conversions and the preview keeps flipping back and forth from color to B&W.
    I assume this is a bug, but is there any way to force the previews to update as a workaround?  Don't really use the print module, but changes also appear to not be reflected in the Web module, so concerned about what my output will look like.
    Thanks.

    Well, just found one solution...   Library > Previews > Discard 1:1 previews and then zooming in on each photo in the Library (Loupe) forced the update.  This needs to get fixed!!

  • Go from LR to PS with edit a copy

    Only about once in a hundred when going from LR to PS do I get a dialog box with choices for "edit a copy with lightroom input"   or "edit a copy"  How do I go from LR to PS and always see that dialog box that will allow me to edit a copy with Lightroom input?
    Photoshop Lightroom

    If LR and PS-ACR are matched versions and you are editing a raw file you should never see this question.  The question normally shows up when LR and PS-ACR aren’t matched versions, and it might also happen when you are editing an image file other than a raw file, like a JPG or TIF.
    I would question why you always want a copy with LR adjustments, when this is what you get when it doesn’t ask the question, because Camera Raw is rendering the file on the way into PS the same as if LR had rendered it on the way out of PS, but without the overhead of an extra file write and read, but if you really want this, then you can define Photoshop.exe as an third-party external editor—the lower half of in the LR / Preferences / External Editing panel.

  • Picture color profile in Lightroom vs Photoshop CS2 editing

    Hi all, I hope someone can solve this for me.
    When I'm viewing picture in Light room, all my pictures are a bit warmer ( have a yellowish tint to them ) compared to when I view them in Photoshop CS2. The same is true if I view them in other programs. This is true for all my picture file type (jpg, tif or raw). I get the feeling that it's Light room that in the wrong in how it displays the picture and not the other programs. Using the warms tool to make the picture a bit colder, only adds a bluish tint to the image which isn't even close to what it looks like (unedited) in Photoshop.
    I get the feeling that Lightroom does something to the picture, or uses some sort of color profile, driver that other programs don't use.
    Is there a way of changing this?

    >When I purchase these ADOBE products I expect them to JUST WORK!!!!!
    Unfortunately, when Microsoft, Dell and others enter the fray it's no longer up to just the Adobe folks. Differences between Photoshop and Lightroom are almost always due to a corrupt monitor profile. Adobe has nothing to do with that.
    >I dont wanna have to be worried about corrupt profiles yada yada yada!!!
    I just want to be able to do my color correction and exposure corrections in Lightroom export as a High Res Jpeg and then do the remainder of my work in Photoshop and have them both look the same.
    If your screen is correctly calibrated that will be the case. Unfortunately if you want to do color sensitive work on a computer with a typical monitor, you have to have a rudimentary understanding of profiles and color management. There is unfortunately no way around it. This is no different from traditional color photography where you have to understand what different film, different filters and different development do to your colors. The terminology is just different.
    >How do I fix this and please go through it STEP BY STEP BY STEP!!!!
    I am not one for the computer lingo....
    OK. I'll assume first that you have no hardware calibrator and that you are on windows:
    1. Make sure your Photoshop color settings are set up to respect embedded profiles. See the
    first screenshot in this post(ignore everything else as it is no longer relevant in LR 2).
    2. Open your monitor's properties panel, click on advanced and go to the color management tab. Delete any profile you see there. This is the culprit. Probably a bad profile got installed in some driver update for your graphics card or your monitor.
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop and that's it! You'll have corresponding colors. You are however, cheating yourself as your monitor is completely uncalibrated. This is how 99% of computer users run their monitors.
    So here is what you should be doing if you care about your color and matching to print and making sure that others see the same colors. Even though hardly anybody calibrates, the only way to get a good average correspondence is to calibrate your monitor and use color managed apps. This sequence is valid for both macs and PCs
    1. Do as above step one and make sure Photoshop is set up correctly and then go out and buy a hardware calibrator (or order online). They can be had for <$100 for pretty good ones. Look for example for Spyder2 and Huey Pro.
    2. Calibrate your screen following the instructions from the software
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop. Now you'll have identical but correct color.
    If you have a mac, you can cheat slightly and use http://www.computer-darkroom.com/colorsync-display/colorsync_1.htm instead of hardware calibration. You cannot expect very good correspondence between monitor and prints though with that method.

  • Photoshop won't open image from lightroom

    When I try to export an image from Lightroom to Photoshop (CC) Photoshop opens, but the image doesn't.

    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

  • Can you edit multiple images from a PDF in photoshop?

    I scan a lot of old publications with images and drawings. The images are in greyscale, but my scanner produces better results set to color. As such, I have to convert the images to greyscale in Photoshop from Acrobat. I have several PS actions that make this process easier, but I wish there was a way to select multiple images from a page or PDF file and run the actions on them (a batch) instead of one at a time. Is there? Or perhaps another method than what I am doing?

    I recommend that you scan first, save as TIFF, do any desired correction, and only then make PDFs. Scanning direct to PDFs is great for simple uncomplicated workflows, but a liability when correction is needed.

  • Issue with exporting the image from camera and scanner

    Hello,
    When  importing JPG digital photos from my Conica Minolta SLR digital camera,  the file size is typically 3-4 megabytes. If importing
    and then  exporting the file out of Lightroom 2.6, the size of the file is not  changed (at least not very much).
    However, when scanning 35 mm color negative films using a  Plustek OpticFilm 7600i with SilverFast-SE the JPG file has a size of  abou
    t 5 megabytes (generated by SilverFast-SE). If I take this file  and import it to Lightroom and then export it out again, the size in
    crements to about 12 megabytes. What could be the reason for this?
    Browser:  Microsoft IE
    Operating System: Windows 7
    Scanner / driver  version: SilverFast-SE v6.6.0r6
    Has it ever worked? If so, what's  changed? (provide comments in description field): Not Applicable
    Same results with different file?: Not Applicable
    Same results with  different computer?: Not Applicable
    Recent System Hardware or  Software change?: Not Applicable
    Regards

    It is the compression settings on export that will define the size of an exported image from LR, the amount of compression applied will produce differing file sizes according to the type of image, the amount of sharpening and many other factors.. To compare actual file sizes (rather than compressed sizes) see what it says when in Lightroom or when open in Photoshop. Two images with the same pixel dimension can have very different file sizes when compressed. When open, in PS for instance, the file size will be the same for images of the same pixel dimensions and bit depth. .

  • Problem with the RAW images from Canon 5d Mark III

    hope you are doing good. i need your opinion regarding a phenomena i am observing in the RAW images from Mark iii.
    The following images appear to be absolutely correct in the camera and when viewed through a picture viewer.
    I have tried and tested the following scenarios:
    1. Used a medium speed kingston CF Card (new) and transferred the images through the USB cable supplied with the camera.
    2. Thought the card might be slow OR faulty.. used Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pro SD Cards but same result.
    3. Transferred SD Card data through the builit in laptop card reader.
    4. Have directly imported the images from SD Card into Lightroom 4.3, copied the data firstly to laptop HDD and then imported, copied the SD card data to an external HDD and then copied. .... same result!!
    5. Have tried the same with both Win7 and Mac OS.
    6. The DPP sw that came with the camera gives the error of 'Decoding Failed' with these images.
    Usually 10-15 images out of 100 give this kinda pattern. so i was hoping if you can guide me what is going wrong here !!!

    The camera and PictureViewer are likely showing you the embedded JPG, while DPP and LR are decoding the raw data which appears to be corrupted.  Assuming you have formatted your SD cards in the camera and the issues are always in the same positions in the same images when you transfer them multiple times from the card to different computers via different methods, then the data is on the card that way.
    If the embedded JPG is ok then the sensor is ok, so something between the sensor-readout and the storage on the card appears to be failing intermittently, and it’s time to talk to Canon, I think.
