Trouble moving from lightroom to Photoshop CS6 raw editor

I am having trouble moving from my lightroom 4 to Photoshop camera raw. I can move directly to Photoshop but would like to use the raw editor in photoshop CS6 and not the lightroom editor

Hi,
You could use Photo>Edit In>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
(or right click on the photo and Edit In>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop)
Then double click on the smart object thumbnail in the layers panel to open camera raw.

  • Can't open RAW file when moved from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4

    I have a Canon 6D and recently purchased Lightroom 4.4 so that I could open my Canon RAW files. They do open in Lightroom, but when I move them to PHotoshop CS4 I can't open the files. I get a message telling me I can't open them. Any suggestions?

    I don't know Macs so can't give you advice if CS6 will run on your Mac.
    But since you have Lr5 you won't need to open Raw images in Photoshop. Lr5 gives you all the Raw editing capabilities that you need. I don't think CS6 will add anything to Raw editing capabilities that Lr5 doesn't have - although I don't know CS6 since I am still working with CS5.
    You still can send images from Lr5 to CS4 for editing but you have to select <Render using Lightroom> in the dialog that says that the "Camera raw plug-in 8.1 may be required   ...". BTW: what this means is that the Camera raw plug-in 8.1 is required for Photoshop, not for Lr.
    When you select <Render using Lightroom> Lr will create a TIFF / PSD from the Raw image and send it to CS4 for editing.
    If you had CS6 Lr would send the Raw image to CS6 but on saving the edits in CS6 a TIFF / PSD would be created.
    The only drawback with using CS4 is that the options <Merge to Panorama ...>, <Merge to HDR ...>, and <Open as layers> will be greyed-out and are not available.
    If instead of selecting  <Render using Lightroom> in the dialog box you would select <Open anyway>, nothing would happen. CS4 would open but the image would not be displayed in CS4.

  • Help going from Lightroom to Photoshop w/ raw

    I recently updated to PS 5 and LR 3. I'm need some help with working with RAW files. When in go to work on a RAW file from LR, when PS opens the image the image adjustment menu doesn't appear in PS. When I open a RAW image directly in PS the adjustment menu is attached right to the image. When I go from LR to PS the menu doesn't appear. Is there a way to get menu to appear? Is there a reason why it doesn't ? Hope this makes sense.

    I don't use Lightroom but would venture a guess or two. If you open a raw file in Lightroom and use Lightroom Develop module then use lightroom to open that image in Photoshop as image or as a smart object there is no reason to need the ACR window for the RAW file been through Adobe RAW conversion engin. There are ACR settings set and there may even be a rgb image in memory. Therefore there is no reason to display the ACR user interface the RGB Image can be passed or the ACR settings and RAW data can be passed the Adobe RAW conversions which can produce the RGB images to be edit.  If you open the RAW image as a smart object if you double click on the smart object icon in the smart object layer in the Layers palette the ACR user interface will open so you can make adjustment fot the smart object which you must have ACR open in photoshop and use Photoshop save to have Photoshop undate the enbedded smart objects ACR setting.  The interface the will open will be ACR user interface not Develop module interface.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • Transfer from Lightroom to Photoshop for executing a picture does not work

    Execute a picture from Lightroom to Photoshop das not work. Picture is not opened in Photoshop. What could be the reason?

    First: Go to <Edit >Preferences >General tab / Prompts and click on <Reset all Warning Dialogs>.
    Then do Edit in Photoshop again. Do you get a dialog box? What does it say?
    And which version of Photoshop is this?
    If it is not CS6 but a prior version, you have to select <Render using Lightroom>; <Open anyway> doesn't work with CS5 or earlier CS.
    The reason is that CS5 has not the latest ACR, but Lr 4.3 has. That means that CS5 cannot open a Raw image sent from Lr 4.3.
    The solution is to let Lr 4.3 create the PSD (or TIFF) and send it to CS5. This is done by selecting <Render using Lightroom>.

  • Noise/grainy problems with images exported into photoshop cc from lightroom after photoshop & lightroom updates

    I can't figure it out. After updating photoshop from the c6 version to the newer cc, and after also an update to lightroom through my creative cloud app, all photos exported now from lightroom into photoshop are extremely noisy and poor quality. I have adjusting settings I thought to back where I had them, but the images still don't look right.  Can you help me? Slammed with photos to edit for paid gigs! Panicking. These are raw files.

    My interpretation of what the OP’s situation, that they are adjusting noise-reduction and sharpening to their liking in LR, the using Edit In PS (not Exporting despite using that word) into PS and what they see in PS is much nosier than what they saw in LR and are wondering why things look different between LR and PS.
    My guess as to the problem is that they’re adjusting LR-Detail settings (Sharpness and NR) using Fit zoom instead of 1:1 zoom and then viewing the image in PS, perhaps at 1:1 zoom or even at Fit-to-Window zoom in PS, and that LR’s resampling and PS’s resampling of the image for fitting to the screen are a bit different and PS’s looks rougher.
    Unless the OP is comparing LR and PS at 1:1 or 100% zoom, differences are to be expected.

  • 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

  • Lightroom 4/Photoshop CS6 Hardware Considerations

    I'm going to be building a kick *** processing machine for lightroom 4/Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7. 
    I'd like to know the optimum processing cores for CPU and optimum video cards.  Is there a spec that I can find that will tell me how lightroom 4 and photoshop CS6 use CPU processing cores, ram and video cards.
    What can you tell me?

    You will find more material regarding hardware on the Photoshop Forum.
    Others will probably make recommendations for CPU. I have a quad Xeon and am happy with it - although it's not the latest Xeon.
    RAM: With 12 GB you will be fine - unless you regularly work on huge image files  in Photoshop. I have 12 GB and Lr rarely goes up to 10 GB.
    I would recommend that you do some research for "workstations". Workstation computers are workhorses from the ground up including all hardware components. It's no use to have a fast processor and lots of RAM when the other hardware components can't keep up with speed or data throughput. Also workstation computers are built with expansion in mind - more RAM, slots for additional cards, etc.
    Hard drives: Get a system with 3 internal drives; they don't need to be huge - 500 GB is fine. Get an SSD for your OS, Photoshop, and Lr.
    If money is not an issue get all hard drives as SSDs. But don't skimp - a 40 GB SSD does you no good - it's way too small.
    With today's RAM and CPU's it's the hard drives that are becoming the bottle neck. As you know conventional hard drives have spinning disks and the reading/writing takes time.
    Lr is constantly reading / writing to the catalog; it also uses the Lr cache. If you have only one hard drive the read- and write cycles for Lr can pile up and your fine and expensive CPU sits idle waiting until the reading / writing is done. Keep in mind that your system also reads and writes to hard drive at the same time.
    Therefore I use 3 internal drives: Drive C for OS, Photoshop, LR; drive D for Photoshop scratch disk, Lr cache, OS paging file; drive E for Lr catalog.
    You probably want to use external hard drives. I recommend eSata drives: they are fast and reliable. So on your system you need at least one eSata outlet port - better two. If two are not available you can buy an eSata card (costs about $ 50) which gives you 2 outlets.
    Video Card: don't get taken in by gaming cards. They're not what you want for Lr and Photoshop. Get a workstation class card that is designed to run 24/7.
    Monitor: get the best and largest you can afford. Get a monitor specifically for photographers. And don't forget you monitor calibration; you need the hardware (spectrometer) and the software. Some monitors (Eizo, LaCie, Nec) come with hardware calibration.
