Why will Lightroom photos not launch into Photoshop CC?

I just started Creative Cloud Lightroom and PhotoshopCC.  When I try to move Lightroom 5 photos into Photoshop I get a message that says "The file could not be edited because Photoshop CC 2014 could not be launched."  Even though I go to "photo" header in Lightroom and scroll to "edit in Photoshop CC 2014" it launches into my old Photoshop 4; I deleted Photoshop 4 but photos still won't go to Photoshop CC 2014.  Frustrating. Would appreciate some suggestions.  Thanks.

I suspect the problem is with Photoshop, not Lightroom. Uninstalling older versions of Photoshop after installing a newer one is known to potentially cause a lot of grief in some cases.
What happens is that the old version takes a lot of registry settings with it on the way out - leaving behind empty pointers to itself rather than the newer versions which it is not aware of. Lost file associations is a classic.
Sometimes these pointers can be re-established easily, but in other cases a full uninstall/reinstall is needed, perhaps with a run of the CC cleaner tool tossed in to clean the slate. Or, if you have the stomach for it - manually editing the registry. But then you should know your way around and backup as you go.
With Photoshop, the safe procedure is to always uninstall in strict reverse version order, then reinstall the newer version.

  • Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

      Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

    The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

  • Lightroom adjustments not importing into photoshop

    I have edited dng images in lightroom 3.2. I have selected lens profiles to correct vignetting. When I click open in Photoshop CS4, all the edits except the lens profile corrections export to Photoshop. The lens vignetting returns. Is there a setting somewhere that I can correct so that all editing in lightroom is reflected in Photoshop CS4. Has anyone else experienced this?
    In addiion, is it possible to have a trial version of Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 installed at the same time.
    Jim

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for the link. Before I got the link, I downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS5. This fixed the problem. However, as a CS4 bug I also tested this with CS4 as a second edit-in preference in Lightroom. This also worked, however I am not sure that this was a valid test. Once I downloaded CS5, it became the default editor and there appears to be no way to remove it as the default editor without uninstalling.
    Please note that when editing in Photoshop that the resulting psd (I have not tested other formats) imported back into Lightroom is about a half-stop brighter. I noticed this before but never reported it as a bug. It would be nice to fix this before 3.3 is released.
    Is there any way that Lightroom will remain in the Edit module when doing a Compare. This drives me crazy. Many times you want to edit images by having them side by side with previous shoots or images that someone has sent you. Now it is constant bouncing back and forth.
    Thanks for the fast feedback.

    By the way, what are you doing working on a Saturday

  • Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?

    Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?
    I am able to print to the photo tray when I print from a memory card, inserted directly into the printer.  However, when I try to print a picture saved directly to my laptop through my wireless connection, the picture prints from the main tray.  If I take the paper out of the main tray, I get the out of paper message.  When I first bought the printer, I had no problems with this issue.  The printer is about 2-3 years old.  I have gone into the HP software on my laptop and set the preferences for photo tray, along with the size I wanted and the photo paper I was using.  By the way, it is HP photo paper.  I have also done the same on the print screen on my laptop.  In addition, I have gone into preferences on the printer itself and chosen "Prompt for photo tray."  I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software on my laptop.  I successfully printed the "practice picture" during the reinstalling process.  None of this has solved the problem.  
    I have no problem printing a document from my laptop wirelessly to the printer. 

    Hi mountainnana,
    Thank you for your response, sorry the guide was not what you were looking for.
    Here are some other suggestions:
    Open the HP Solution Center (icon is normally on the desktop.) Click on Set Preferences, Click on the Paper/Quality tab, for the Source choose Tray 2, choose the right paper size and media type. Click Apply, and then OK. Then try printing your photo again.
    If that does not work there could be a driver/software conflict happening. If that is the case please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Otherwise, proceed with a uninstall and reinstall of your printer software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope this solves your issue, and have a good day!

  • Why will macbook pro not go to sleep with Lion OS?

    Why will macbook pro not go to sleep with Lion OS?

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
    Step 2
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
    Step 3
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
    Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
    Step 4
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
    Step 5
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
    Step 6
    Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 7
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 8
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • Lightroom does not launch with insertion of memory card.

    Lightroom does not launch on my PC with insertion of memory card. Option checked to launch in preferences. Autoplay settings set for Lightroom 6 (I assume this is CC) to import photos with insertion of memory card. New since installation of CC. 

    I had this problem and I was able to fix it by editing the Windows registry (it was only a minor edit).
    I changed the value of the following registry key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.AdobeLightroom64\shell\open\command
    The value was:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7\Lightroom.exe "%L"
    I changed it to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\lightroom.exe "%L"

  • Opening photo from bridge into photoshop converts to smart object

    Instead of opening the psd-file normally from bridge into photoshop the file converts to smart object.
    I used to work with CS3 where double-clicking in Bridge on a psd-file would open it in Photoshop. Now, when I double click in Bridge (CS6) it opens a "quick time pro" file, which I definitely don't want. When I use the right mouse to "place in Photoshop" it does so, but then automatically converts the file into a smart object, which I don't want either. What need I do to open a psd-file in Bridge as normal psd-file in Photoshop?
    Thanks in advance for help.

    Hi C. Pfaffenbichler
    yes, there is a "Photoshop Document" in the list, but it has not
    association. when I click on the little arrow on that line it "searches"
    and shows all the files in the "program X86" on the C-drive. but I don't
    know what to associate it with, or said differently, I don't know what file
    in "programX86" to associate it with.

  • Lightroom CC not launching

    Is anyone else having an issue with Lightroom CC not launching?
    After installing via Creative Cloud, I tried to launch the application and the splash screen appears for a split second then disappears and nothing happens. I tried restarting. I tried uninstalling and re-installing. All to no avail.
    I'm running an early 2011 27" iMac with 8gb of RAM. No technical reason it shouldn't work.
    Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Bob

    I signed out (not Quit) of Creative Cloud, then signed in again.  Now, not only will LR CC not launch as before, now neither will my PS CC 2014 and all the apps  plus Creative Cloud only give me the choice of a trial version or to provide a license key -- I don't have a license key that I recall for the Photographer's CC Package.  How do I regain use of PS CC 2014 and successfully launch LR CC 2015 and update Creative Cloud to the state it was before I signed out?  I am running a 2013 iMac with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).

  • TS3989 Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and pictures taken after have ,but some won't

    Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and after transferred ok but some won't.Any suggestions

        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

    Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers?  I have to log in to a website to get our orders, and we thought it was the website at first, but have since realized it is just my computer with this issue.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and still it does not work. 

    You ask "why", but don't provide any information...

  • Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

    slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
    Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

    Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?
