When I edit in photoshop from lightroom it forgets the stars!

I've used lightroom and photoshop together now for a while, nad it is great. But when I updated to lightroom 3 I started having a problem. When I click "edit in photoshop" and later saves the images it no longer "remembers" what star ranking it had in Lightroom. It remembers the rest of the metadata, but not the stars. When I have it open in photoshop and check the "file info" I can see the metadata, but it seems the star rating disappears some where between having the original in lightroom and editing it in photoshop.
What do I do? It's really annoying!

If it retains the stars rating when you save metadata to file before doing the external edit, this would be the confirmation of the bug mentioned by Victoria.

  • Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom doesn't work; Automate Photomerge doesn't work

    Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom doesn't work.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    Likewise,  I also can't automate>Photomerge ...  I pick all the images for the PHotomerge and hit "okay," but nothing happens.   Makes me think it's  Photoshop, not Lightroom, that is all wacky.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and reinstalled. No change.  I also tried dumping PS preferences, but that didn't affect a thing, either.

    None of my "Edit In" worked with the pictures in Lightroom for a particular folder. I expanded the 2014 folder and found that two subfolders had a "?" in front of the 2014-07-04" and another. In other words, the folder was missing. After I found the missing folders using the Lightroom "Find Missing Folder" option, I was able to use the "Edit In" menu item. The 2014 folders weren't expanded at first, so I didn't see the ? marks in front of them. With the missing folders, Lightroom's "Edit In" option was basically telling me there was no picture to "Edit In." Howerver, I have Previews and Smart Previews made when I import picture files into Lightroom. So, the "pictures" showed in the slide strip on the bottom, and also in the display in "expand," but it was actually only showing the previews I had built, not the actual missing pictures in the missing folders. I had accidentally moved some directories using Windows Explorer, and I didn't realize my "happy fingers" moved them outside of Lightroom. Of course, Lightroom has no way of knowing I moved them, and just shows the "?" before the missing folder name. After expanding the root folder, then knew what to do. Fixed it easily. It was frustrating, and took about 20 minutes to see the problem. And that fixed the greyed-out "Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014, and all the other plug-ins were greyed out too.
    Hope this fixes your problem.

  • Issues to edit in Photoshop from Lightroom , why?

    HI everyone, In order to edit some images on my new website http://www.monportraitphoto.fr I was getting into my archives that are all in a big Adobe Lightroom catalogue. After choosing the good pictures in my catalogue I tried to make the classical shortcut "edit in Photoshop cc 2014 (yes I've juste made the update and uninstalled the 2013 cc version)"
    here is the issue : when I edit a psd file it works but when I edit a raw the screen jumps to the photoshop window but no photo is opening in it. Does anybody know a good way to fix it?

  • When opening image in Photoshop from Lightroom "edit it," it defaults to TIF format

    When I open an image in Photoshop CC by using the "edit with" command in Lightroom 5, after editing, the file will default to a TIF image rather than PSD. This ends up creating large, duplicate files (TIF and PSD) after I correct the problem.
    Isn't there a way to ensure Photoshop CC defaults to a PSD regardless of where it's opened.
    I do not use any editing or image-adjusting features in Lightroom. Nothing is changed in a photo until I edit in Photoshop. I open with RAW in photoshop.
    I'm using Windows 8.1 with plenty of memory and disk space.
    Thanks

    Hi EJToll,
    If you like to set the default file format of the file you Edit in Photoshop CC thorugh Lightroom then perform following steps.
    Lanuch Lightroom and go to Edit> Preference(Windows) Lightroom>Peference(Mac)
    Click "External Editing" tab
    Change the option for "File Format" to PSD as deafult format for Edit In Adobe Photoshop CC
    Click "Ok" button
    Hope this helps.

  • Edit in photoshop from lightroom 5.5 does'nt work

    Hi,
    I'm a CC member and I've installed 2014 version of all CC products that I use on my PC (win 7 64bits)
    When I use Lightroom, the command "edit in photoshop" doesn't work correctly: photoshop is started but nothing else happens: no photo in photoshop.
    I deinstall-reinstall Lightroom with the same result.
    This worked fine with the precedent version.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi PJ,
    I am searching this forum for the same issue. I am a hobbyist photographer, who used to work on LIghtroom first and then open the same photo from LR to photoshop CC and made few minor adjustment. After installing CC 2014 version, this feature is gone. Photoshop CC is opening and nothing is happening. Again, I have to open the image in photoshop CC manually, which is really annoying. Hope someone from photoshop team is listening.

  • Images not opening for edits in Photoshop from Lightroom all software is updated

    I am working on  a MacBook Pro and today after making basic edits in Lightroom 5.+ the images won't then open in Photoshop to edit there.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Charles

    Geoff, I am using the very latest CC version of Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop v 2014.2.2 running in 64bit mode, on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5. I used it yesterday morning and things worked fine but in the afternoon, I created a new catalog for a project I was working on. The first image everything worked as normal. I mad some basic White Balance corrections, along with contrast adjustments then take the images into Photoshop to remove the backgrounds but going to the menu item Edit in Photosho. If photoshop is down, it opens the software but the images don't transfer into Photoshop to work on. I rebooted Lightroom and Photoshop a couple of times with no effect still the same problem. I rebooted the computer twice and still no changes in the way it was responding. This morning as I begin to write this, I opened Lightroom and now even the catalog is missing along with most of the ones I have created. I did open an old one and it now works as it should so I will try to recreate the project from yesterday but it is now saying that Lightroom can't save to that Hard drive.  I will reboot the external hard drive now to see if that will solve that problem. This has happened in the past when using Photoshop when I am trying to save an image but never like this? Most of the time rebooting will solve that kind of issue so I will try that now. Just not sure what might be causing that to happen either?
    Thank you for your help,
    Charles

  • Editing in Photoshop from Lightroom Slow....

    My problem is when I export from Lightroom into Photoshop to edit a file compared to opening a file directly from finder.  When I export from Lightroom it is super slow compared to opening the file directly.  Anyone else having this problem?

    What type of file are they?
    If you open a raw file from Lr to PS, Lightroom has to render it, if you open a raw file in PS it has to go through ACR which would always take more time. That's why I ask about file type.

  • Can't right-click edit in photoshop from lightroom

    Using latest versions of lightroom and photoshop. I want to right click an image in light room and select "edit in photoshop" but the selections are all greyed out and will not work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop but this did not fix the problem.
    thanks

  • LR4 - Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom 4

    When I go 'edit in Photoshop' I'm not getting a dialog box that gives me the options of whether or not to include Lightroom adjustments etc. How do I get that? Can anyone help? At the moment, none of my Lightroom adjustments are carrying across.

    Hi - thanks for replying. I've just figured it out. On the initial dialog (render in Lightroom or open anyway) I needed to hit 'render in Lightroom. I've just downloaded the ACR 6.7 Camera RAW which also solves it.

  • The option to edit in Photoshop from lightroom is grey out.

    I'm on a PC, been editing photos in lightroom. Just downloaded some photoshop presets. Edited some photos using the presets. Now when I go to edit photos using the photos/edit in...all options are greyed out. I've restarted my compute, updated both lightroom and photoshop (I have latest versions) talked online to Adobe support person and did all sorts of "stuff" beyond my level of understanding. Still doesn't work.  Sometimes the options are back in black and look like its going to work, but then photoshop doesn't open, and then the options turn to greyed out again. Please help!

    I may be preaching to the choir but here are some tips on using PSE from within iPhoto:
    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.

  • Updated camera raw plug-ins and now photoshop does not recognize ANY files and I can no longer edit in photoshop from lightroom. What happened?

    I don't know what happened, but ps6 is no longer working. The window is there, etc., but cannot pull in files to work on. I am on MAC. Help?

    I have the same problem. Any solutions?

  • After I use the "merge to panorama in Photoshop from Lightroom", I get the message "Adobe PSCC has stopped working" message EVEN though I can see the picture is successfully merged. And then the program closes itself! Help!

    It's the biggest tease ever haha! I can see the photo beautifully merged but then it forces me to close the program! I have tried this a few times and it's always the same. So annoying. I have never had this problem before until I recently updates to CC from CS6. Any thoughts? Do I just simple reinstall the program?

    This panorama consists of at least eight single shots which were (in my opinion) not taken
    using a tripod by rotating the viewline about a fixed point. They are more or less somewhat
    arbitrary shots.
    Merging these requires a kind of optimization which can fail because of numerical problems,
    though the intermediate result seems to be convincing. A crash log cannot help.
    A remedy would be the manual arrangement of the single shots, varying the degree of
    overlapping. That was available in older versions of Photoshop (for me in CS2).
    Enlarging your example, we can see some hairlines, like edges of torn paper. What's that?

  • When I open an image in Photoshop from Lightroom it does not show any adjustments, without restarting photoshop between each picture.

    I am using Macbook Pro, Photoshop CC, and Lightroom 5.
    The problem is: When I start edit in photoshop from Lightroom, the adjustment in Lightroom does not showing up in Photoshop. This has never been happen before while using Photoshop 6.
    I have tried to reinstall the products several times, including OS Yosemite. But it does not help.

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • Problem with "Edit in Photoshop" and Lightroom 2.1 failing to import new file

    I am a new user to Lightroom, so I won't be surprised if the problem is at the dull end of the keyboard...
    I am working with Lightroom 2.1 (still in my 30-day free trial), Photoshop CS3 with ACR 4.6, on Windows XP (fully updated). My image files are mostly .cr2 files (canon raw).
    When I "edit with photoshop" in Lightroom, it fires up Photoshop and brings the file up for edit as expected. Photoshop shows the file name as something like _MG_2326.CR2, as (I presume) expected. When I'm done editing in Photoshop, and I save the file, Lightroom brings up a message "The file could not be imported because it could not be read." and "It may be an incompatible format." on a second line.
    If I synchronize the folder in Lightroom it picks up the save file without issue (though its not automatically stacked with the original).
    I have tried messing around with the different options in the preferences "external editing" tab -- file format, color space and bit depth (I can't imagine resolution would matter). No joy there.
    I have also tried setting photoshop up as the additional external editor and if I do that it works correctly. However, in this case, it makes a copy of the file before opening photoshop which slows things down a little.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen before? Any solutions or work-arounds?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I'm back trying to sort this problem out (got distracted for a couple of days by trying to get my monitor calibrated).
    Rearranging the folder structure didn't help. But I now have a better organized catalog, so that's ok :)
    What I did find is that if I import files into lightroom using the "file/import photos from device", then I can edit them normally afterwards (that is, when I save the file in photoshop cs3, the new file gets picked up correctly by lightroom and gets correctly stacked with the original). This is true even if the new files get added into the same directory structure that I'm having troubles with.
    So it looks like the directory structure is a red herring. It looks like the problem is in the catalog, with the way that lightroom originally imported my files. I created my original catalog by allowing lightroom to read my elements 6 catalog.
    It seems that I have this edit problem with all catalog entries that were imported from elements 6, but I don't have any problem with catalog entries that lightroom brings in directly (either through "import photos from device" or by adding a new folder to the lightroom catalog).
    So right now it looks like there is a problem with the elements catalog conversion.
    Is this a problem that anybody else has seen? Any suggestions for getting around it?
