Why doesn't Photoshop recognize changes made to file in Lightroom?

Hi, I am new to Lightroom and have used Photoshop for many years. I have made many adjustments to a psd file in Lightroom, made sure to save metadata to file... but when I open the file in Photoshop CS6 it reverts to the original version without the Lightroom changes. How can I get Photoshop to recognize the adjustments to the file?

Excellent... have a great day!!! As Lightroom makes non-destructive changes the only way for them to be "seen" is to create pixels to match them when the files is opened into other applications.

Why doesn't iDVD burn changes made within iMovie?

I have iMovie 6.0.3 and iDVD 6.0.3 and have made several movies and DVDs over the past few years. But now have hit something very frustrating....
1) I've just completed a movie in iMovie. Took it to iDVD, created menus etc. then burned it to a DVD-RW. Noticed a couple of changes I wanted to make, namely a soundtrack volume adjustment, and a subtitle change (within iMovie). Made the changes in iMovie.
2) When I opened iDVD again, it said it noticed some changes in the iMovie project and would I accept them. Answered yes. When I reviewed these changes in iDVD preview, all was well. It showed the new subtitle.
3) Did another burn (3-4 hour process, mostly encoding) to disk image. Lo and behold, this new movie still showed the OLD subtitle!!
4) Deleted this disk image file. Checked the iDVD preview again, and it showed the corrected subtitle. Created a NEW disk image (for the THIRD time!) and four hours later discover that the OLD subtitle is still there!!!
What the heck is going on?? iMovie file was modified, resulting iDVD project file reflected the change, but the "burn" result does NOT reflect the change!!!! Why is iDVD Burn sill picking up the old version of my movie?____
Thanks-

You're right. Only selecting Advanced>Delete Encoded Assets did the trick. Otherwise, even though iDVD recognizes that the iMovie file had changed, it doesn't necessarily "pick up" all the changes ....unless you Delete Encoded Assets.
I don't know which changes iDVD does or doesn't pick up, but in future I will always Delete Assets to be sure. Saves lots of time in the long run.
THANKS for your help!!
P.S. I did not have background encoding enabled. Never do.

Why doesn't iCloud recognize changes I make to update my iTunes Library?

?? iCloud ~ HELP! ~ iTunes??
?? iPhone ??
What am I MISSING Here?
iCloud and iTunes frustrate me beyond belief every time I manually clean up
and iTunes on my PC
Does anyone out there have a solution to the following?
Why does iCloud intrepret reorganized files as additional files?
iCloud interprets my manually edited and reorganized files in iTunes as NEW additions rather than deletions...
...Therefore, every time I open itunes software, plug my iPhone into my PC and sync my iPhone via iCloud...
...iCloud downloads a horrible pile up of mega gigabite duplicates, triplicates, plus, plus, plus, to my iPhone!!!
How can I make my own permant edits, deletions and changes to contents backed up in iCloud storage if I cannot even view whats being stored there????

Nancy,
Did you ever get an answer? I also downloaded a TV season pass but am unable to see the episodes on either ITUNES or AppleTV. I received the email notification for a new episode but it still does not download. When I go to ITUNES, I am told all episodes have been downloaded. Can anyone help?

Why doesn't Photoshop touch ask for access to local photos on my iPad so I can grant access and edit?

Why doesn't Photoshop touch ask for access to local photos on my iPad so I can grant access and edit?

That's odd. Does this mean that you want to have the request or that you can't see the photos even though you enabled it over the privacy/photos?
If you enable it - it's not necessary to get the request. If you want the request the safest way to get it back is to reset the privacy settings by going to iPad settings/General/Reset/Reset Location & Privacy
thanks,
Ignacio

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

Why doesn't Logic recognize my loop as an Apple Loop

I have challenges with getting LPX to recognize my wav > aiff file as a bona fide apple loop that I can then stretch tempos.
I have a drum brushes loop that I exported in WIN7/Audition, saved as wav and moved over the my mac. Then I dragged it into LPX, found the correct exact tempo manually (60bpm) in order to make an Apple Loop. Couldn't do it with the wav so saved it as an aiff from within LPX. LPX sees the "tempo information" (not really) and then was able to drag into Apple Loops browser, still, didn't create the tempo meta data or whatever it does to allow me to stretch it. I drag the re-indexed loop on an audio track and it's juts the same 60 bpm loop. Changing my global tempo does not alter the tempo of the loop.
Appreciate any help it getting another 10 bpm outta this thing for a project. Took forever to find a decent ballad drum with brushes!
thanks

OK that works insofar as it saves the file with no issues and I can drag into the track area (does say there is time data to import- "YES") but it doesn't change with global tempo changes.
Also maybe there is a problem with the index? I deleted the other attempts from User Loops >SingleFiles folder but LPX still is searching for the file at every index.
So two problems now:
index still looks for older files
ALU is saving but LPX not changing tempo of Apple Loop
I read the manual re: file type.
The File Type tag determines if an application treats a file as a looping or non-looping file. Looping files are matched to the project tempo and key— if the Key tag is set to a value other than None. Non-looping files are not matched to the project tempo or key. (Untagged files added to a project are treated as non-looping.)
When I choose "Looping" in ALU, it changes the sound drastically which although would give tempo stretch, is probably ties to it thinking it's 120 bpm (and not 60)?
Yet it was recorded at 60 bpm.
The catch-22 is that the ALU can't recognize my tempo and if I change it (via choosing "looping", the only way to correct the beats btw) it messes with the sound because it's twice as fast.
Otherwise, as a non-loop, I'm stuck with only 60 bpm (even though it has "time data" to import)

Why won't photoshop recognize my raw files?

I just bought the brand new Canon Rebel T5i and I was so excited but then when I uploaded my raw camera files to my computer and tried to open them up in photoshop, it said that I needed the latest camera raw update but when I go to Help--> Updates, the updates option is greyed out and I can't click on it. How do I update my photoshop to edit my CR2 Raw files?? I am so lost.
Thank you

tried to open them up in photoshop
Which version of Photoshop? Which operating system?
The answers to your questions lie in the following links.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
The T5i was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4 which is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and later.

Why doesn't apple allow you to download files from the internet like how android users can?

I was using a friend's android phone yesterday and saw that he could download files a wide variety of files from the internet and that made me wonder why Apple doesn't allow iPhone users to download files like the ones you could on an android device

To keep the sort of malware rather prevalent for Android devices off of your iPhone. Depending on what you need to download, though, you can probably find a third-party app that will do it. Since such apps keep their documents in their own sandbox, it helps protect the iPhone from being infected by malicious "documents".

Can Photoshop CS3 be used with files from Lightroom 5?

I have Photoshop CS3 and I am considering buying Lightroom 5. Does anyone know if output from Lightroom 5 can be processed in Photoshop CS3?

The process engine in LR 5 is equivalent to ACR 8.1(Process version 2012) in PS CS 6 or PS CC.
So if you are using LR 5 you have the equivalent of the latest version of ACR, do all the processing of your raw files with Lightroom. When you are ready to make other advanced editing functions in PS CS3 you use the "edit in function" and a tiff or psd file is rendered by LR and sent to Photoshop.
The only disadvantage is that you cannot use the "edit in function" to make ACR in PS CS3 render the raw file with LIghtroom adjustments, since it is just not capable of reading the full adjustments from LR 5.
PS CS3 uses ACR 4.x (Process version 2003)
This is why you have to use LR to create the tiff/psd file for use in PS CS. In the final analysis when you have completed your work in PS CS you still are left with an additional file tiff/psd.

Why does Encore not recognize jpegs made in Photoshop?

I use CS5 Master Suite on a Mac running the latest version of Snow Leopard.
I am trying to make a DVD slideshow. I made a bunch of jpegs of a recent holiday trip using Photoshop CS5. However, when I try to import the jpegs, I get this strange dialog error message "The software available to decode the menus is not available on this system." Encore then nearly crashes as I try to get rid of the error dialog.
This is strange given that I used Photoshop CS5 to make the jpegs, Encore and Photoshop are both creations of Adobe, the version of PS I am using is on my system -- the same system that Encore is on -- so any codecs needed ought to be here.
This also occurs with psd files as well.
With those same jpegs, I was able to make a rather lame slideshow DVD using iDVD, but I'd rather have more creative control.
What is going on? Any suggestions? I've downloaded all the latest and greatest updates for all Creative Suite apps.

You can't import still images with frame sizes more than 4096x4096 pixels.
You should not ever use anything that is not already at the correct resolution for DVD-Video.
That means 720x480 NTSC and 720x576 PAL. @ 72 DPI (some say 96 DPI).
Make sure your aspect ratio is correct, so to do that you either use the Photoshop template, or else design in square pixels & resize.
For 16:9, that is 860x480 NTSC and 1024x576 PAL
(960x540 also works, but you will see vertical reduction as well as horizontal reduction there which can - and does - play havoc with text).
For 4:3 that is 640x480 NTSC and 768x576 for PAL.
Resize accordingly afterwards for anamorphic squeezing to get the correct PAR.
Why would you want to even try using anything else at higher resolutions for DVD???
Makes no sense, as what you input will not look like what comes out of the other end.

Why doesn't Photoshop CS6 recognizes its Twain Driver

I've downloaded the Twain driver for Photoshop CS6 from Adobe and copied the Twain.plugin file to the Photoshop Plugin directory in Applications. I'm using a Mac with 10.6.8. I then restarted CS6 but there isn't a mention of 'Twain' in the Import menu? So also not my scanner. Which is an Epson Stylus SX130. Why not?

Is your scanner driver 64-bit?

Why doesn't Photoshop Elements recognize my internet connection?

I've installed Elements. I had to register online because I can't sign in on my program's start up screen because photoshop says I'm not connected to the internet or that my clock is wrong. After registering online (outside the program) I told the program I'd sign in later just so I could get to the user interface. Once there, it still thinks I'm not connected to the internet, and as a result the "help" button just gives me a message that I need to be connected to the internet to use help.
But, I am connected - as I'm typing and submitting this question "online." So, any ideas what's going wrong?

Often means a problem with your anti-virus and/or firewall blocking access to Adobe servers. Some Firewall software also makes entries to your hosts file that have the same effect.
Temporarily disable your anti-virus and firewall and rename C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to hosts.old to see if that lets the activation complete. Afterwards you can rename hosts back, and turn back on your firewall and anti-virus.
Also for activation start by right-clicking the PSE icon and selecting Run As Administrator in case there is a permissions problem.

Why doesn't Apple allow changing your AppleID username?

i realize this subject is best sent to Apple Feedback ("Contact Us" link found at the bottom right of most pages on Apple's site). I post here to hopefully assemble others who have the same questions or concerns, with the ultimate result being a call for action, that more than just me emails Apple to see if the change I discuss here, and others before this post have made, might finally happen as this is not a new concern.
I have several AppleIDs. Not by want, but by mistake. Like many, when you bought a new Mac device, during set up many mistakenly created a new AppleID instead of using their original existing one. Some people do want multiple AppleIDs and that's fine. This post is about those who don't, but once an AppleID is created you're stuck with it, other than not using it/them and trying to stick with using just one and setting all devices and your logging to be just one AppleID.
The problem is that many didn't realize we created other AppleIDs and started to use them and then find out that they can't be merged and certain fields can't be changed. Period.
For me, i bought a new device and then noticed my posts here in Discussions show my full name instead of my long used nickname. When registering my new device I must have unknowingly input my full name not realizing I was assigning both creating a new AppleID until I posted next in Discussions.
The problem can be that instead of one AppleID, you end up with 2 or more and each AppleID stores your data specific to that ID and our AppleIDs don't talk to each other. For Discussions, because I logged in over time with different AppleIDs, so my posting and Activity are broken up over my different IDs. We don't have the ability to see all our posts in one place, AKA one login, or one login that can access all our other AppleIDs.
So if I need to find a post I started or contributed to, I may have to login with each AppleID until I find it.
Many people have questioned why does Apple have such a strict policy about AppleIDs when for the user, it can and does complicate using Apple products, forcing us to remember which AppleID we used for which device, Discussions, iTunes, etc. Again, some want separate ApleIDs for each use, but for those that don't, we have to manage not to accidentally create additional AppleIDs and/or if you get stuck with multiple AppleIDs that you make sure you only use one and ignore the others to prevent your data being fractured among more than one AppleID.
Apple must have a reason for insisting that those with more AppleIDs than desired can't merge or change certain fields, but it certainly doesn't seem to benefit the user. So why is their policy in force and regardless, with enough outcry AKA Feedback... It might impact enough on Apple to make some changes.
SO if you don't like having multiple AppleIDs and wish to merge them/some or change some of the now unchangeable fields, please send Feedback to Apple - found in the lower right "Contact Us"
Thanks!

You are not alone. I am sure a lot of folks did exactly what you did, others found that they forgot passwords or security questions and the like.
[1] This seems solvable - if this identity is new, it could and should be changed by the Hosts
[2] Yep, that's the kicker (<- technical term) - the database holding all your posts uses your AppleID as the one solid 'keyword' to tie them all together, regardless of content - there is probably yet another database for all Store issues - that seems a less daunting coding task to merge. But probably won't happen. A good source here among Hi-Levelers has told that a feature of iOS 8 (coming this Fall!!) will have 'family plan-like management features. But I think it unlikely to extend to the discussions.
If you change that AppleID keyword, you lose all connectivity to those posts. Read on...
[3] I have a workaround for you: Go to each AppleID Profile page in A Seperate Tab. Even though you are not logged into each AppleID, you can still see everything about posts - you just can't set prefs. Not on one page, but for me, it would be easier to keep track of with it sorted by ID.
[4] Pardon my sarcasm, but make Sticky Note or something!! Seriously, just get it straight once and for all and keep it in a text file or spreadsheet if tits that complex.
[5] see 1-3. Apple will probably see your point with "Personal Information" on #1
Regarding your grass-roots effort, take care not to even insinuate a "P O L L" <- formatting mine. Super NoNo per ToU. Even if there were the effort made, I'll bet not enough folks suffer as you do to make a global change.
Best luck

Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions.
However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box. If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette. Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box. Then use menu File>Save. Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

Why doesn't Photoshop always generate a layer mask

I believe it was in CS4 that Adobe expanded the use of automatic layer masks ... perhaps it was with adjustment layers (I'm not quite sure)
I don't know about others, but it would save me considerable time in the long run if every new layer, (whether it is generated as a copy, from a plug-in, as a cut, or as a new blank layer) recevied an automatic layer mask. It takes no file space, but more often than not I find myself needing one. It sure would be nice to jump right into masking rather than having to first create the layer mask. Why did they stop at adjustment layers?
Am I alone in this?
thanks

Adding layers like Text, Raster and smart objects never have had automatic layers mask added. Adding adjustment layers always came with an automatic layer mask until CS4. Adode introduced bugs in CS4 when they added the adjustment panel these bugs have been carried forward into CS5 and CS6. Adobe added two options in the adjustment panels fly-out panel. These options are designed to be global, not just adjustment panel options. These options only work sometimes when changed from their default settings. When changed from their default settings they try to change Photoshop historic default operation. When you change Photoshop default operation Action, Scripts and Plug-ins that add adjustment layers may not work correctly. Adobe should fix Photoshop and remove the two bad Adjustment Panel fly-out options. The Adjustment Panel fly-out menu option to not add Layer masks can not be safely set, same goes for the option to always clip added layer mask, if you use Actions, Scripts and Plug-ins that add adjustment layers.
