Why won't Lightroom 3.3 send a dng file to Photoshop CS5?

I am using a Windows 7 64 bit platform, Lightroom 3.3, Camera Raw 6.3 and Photoshop CS5 also 64 bit.  I have my photos (from a Nikon D3100) in dng format but when I try to open it in Photoship using the Edit in command to send it either as a dng file or a smart object I get a notice that the file couldn't open because Photoshop couldn't be opened.  In fact Photoshop does open (or it is already open).  Sometimes, the file will eventually open in Photoshop, but it takes several minutes -- like 5 or more, other times it never opens.
Can anyone offer any suggestions or help?

No. LR will only show the thumbnail rendered by the camera,if it is possible. The better practice would be to download the files from the CF/SD card using a reliable card reader, this would be more efficient/faster and reliable. (use the camera to take photographs, rather than have it attached to the computer.)
A LR generated preview will only be rendered after the import of the NEF.

  • Why won't my Mac Pro read a burnt copy of Photoshop CS5?

    I just got myself a Mac Pro. From upgrading my old G4. My Mac Pro is a 2 Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 ghz Version 10.6.8. With a SONY DVD RW DW-D150A Drive and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics/display. So I have plenty of requirements to run CS5..I think. So anyways my friend let me barrow her copy of Photoshop which workered fine on her Macbook. When I tried it on my Mac the disk was read as a blank DVD?? As if nothing was written on the disk? I checked it and yes it is a written disk, so why won't it work? Any suggestions would help.
    Thanks.

    Your friend is not allowed to share her copy of photoshop like that, but that's not related to your problem. You've burned the DVD wrong or your hardware is broken.

  • Can't open dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

    Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
    Technical details:
    OS X v10.8.5
    Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
    Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
    Camera: Nikon D600
    Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3  and Lightroom ver 4.3
    I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
    While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
    Also:
    Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
    Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
    Thank you in advance,
    Mark

    As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

  • Why Won't Lightroom 3.6 Import Camera raw files from T5i

    I have Lightroom 3.6 all updated. I can't Import any raw files from my T5i
    I have also tried using Adobe DNG but it will not read the files either.
    Any Help would be Awesome
    Thanks

    You need LR 4.4 or DNGC 7.4 or newer for the T5i:

  • Why is my document window blank after opening a file in Photoshop CS5?

    can someone please help me?
    <<  unnecessarily childish example of a blank document window removed >>

    I don't find your cartoonish expletive language amusing, but I'll help you with your problem.
    You need to visit the web page of the maker of your video card and download/install the latest display driver for your hardware / OS.
    If you're unwilling or unable to do this, you can deconfigure OpenGL Drawing temporarily in your Edit - Preferences - Performance dialog (remembering to restart Photoshop after).  These are the features you'll lose without OpenGL:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405745.html

  • Why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    Two things, first see if it shows up in "Apple > About This Mac > More Info.. > Disc Burning" . If you still see it there the system still recognizes it but it isn't responding. Next do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Hopefully this will reset the power to the drive.

    Not wrong?
    Let us have a look at the error message:
    "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"
    This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?
    No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.
    It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.
    A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."

    Why won't Lightroom 4.4 recognize my Nikon D600 when attempting to use Tethered Capture?  However, Lightroom recognizes the camera otherwize.

    I just checked the list of cameras supported for tethered shooting, and the D7000 is on the list of supported cameras. So perhaps it's time for you to double check your camera settings to make sure it is set up for tethered shooting.

    Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
    Error message that it does not support cr. file

    Which version of Lightroom?
    As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
    Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 3.2 doesn't open file in Photoshop

    Hi,
    I've just made a complete fresh install of Lightroom 3.2 and Photoshop CS5 extended on my new iMac (OS 10.6.4, x64)
    Now I'm trying to edit raw-files in Photoshop CS5.
    Normally a popup should appear to ask in which format the photo should be opened in PS.
    But no popup is shown, Photoshop starts immediately, but without actually opening the photo.
    If I configure Photoshop as secondary editor this problem does not appear, and everyting works fine.
    But in that case I miss the option for a secondary editor like for example DxO...
    What to do?
    Regards,
    Menno

    Menno,
    I can't help you with your primary problem, as I'm not a CS5 user.
    But regarding your second concern with having CS5 as a secondary editor and therefore not having the option for additonal external editors:
    You can have as many external editors as you like, e.g. CS5 as one, DXO as one, Nik Viveza as one and so on. All you have to do is create different External Editor Presets in Preferences for each desired external editor.

  • Lightroom 4 settings are not carried over to Photoshop CS5

    When opening a raw and unedited file using the 'Edit in Photoshop' menu selection in Lightroom 4 the image opens as expected in Photoshop CS5. The images seem to look identical to me. If I then exit from PS without doing anything to the photo I am prompted to save the file. I do so and return to LR4. Comparing the original raw file and the tif created by PS they appear to be identical.
    Next, I make some whitebalance, exposure, and cropping changes to the raw image in LR4. 'Edit in Photoshop' opens the image in PS CS5 but the image appears different. Cropping is there but other adjustements seem to me to be lost. Again clost the image without any editing in PS CS5 and am prompted to save the file. I do so and the saved tif appears in LR4 just as it looked in PS CS5. However they are different.
    I'm using a Windows 7 64  bit computer.

    The most significant point is that the first time you go to Photoshop with an image, you start with one image inside LR and you end up with two - the original image, and a brand new edited version. Generally this is "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments"; in other words, something that looks the same as the LR starting image currently does, as a starting point for PS alteration.
    Subsequent times you take this edited version of the image back to Photoshop, the Edit In.. feature automatically switches to "Edit Original" as default behaviour. This is so that you don't get a whole family of fresh image versions appearing in LR, and a whole cluster of TIFF files on disk. Just the same image progressively changing over time, as PS work is done.
    A PS-edited version seen newly in LR, starts out with zero applied LR adjustments - so it appears at first, exactly as PS has just saved it.
    Say (to help clarify this ) you make a virtual copy at this point - and apply some more LR adjustments onto that. You can now see three versions: [1] the starting original which did not go to PS; [2] an untouched version of the PS edit, which has so far been left alone by LR; and [3] another version of the same PS edit, this time with some new LR adjustments overlaid.
    If you push the image back to PS for some more editing, save that, and return to LR then both versions [2] and [3] are going to update so as to reflect this later editing. That is because both are deriving their underlying content in a live manner from the same file on disk, which has since changed.
    While you are editing any file within PS you are always viewing the actual content of that file. This will naturally look the same as the untouched LR version [2] does. But it will not look the same as the adjusted LR version [3] does - because the live LR settings which cause [3] to look different to [2], are not included in the PS file which they share. They are separate from that - they are being nondestructively applied and displayed on-the-fly by Lightroom only, and in this example, only in the case of one of the two derived versions.

  • Why won't lightroom open my raw (NEF) files? I shoot with a Nikon D5500.

    I just did a photoshoot and lightroom is telling me that my files are not supported by lightroom. it says lightroom is up to date. I have a cc subscription and can't use lightroom. please tell me there is an easy fix

    Support for the Nikon D5500 was released with Adobe Camera Raw 8.8 on March 19th 2015. There has not been a corresponding release of LR 5.8. The expectation is that LR 6 will be release in the near future but there has been no specific release from Adobe.
    In the meantime LR users have been advised that they can make use of the Adobe DNG Converter 8.8 which they can use to convert the NEF files to the DNG format and import these files for use in LR 5.7.1 or other earlier versions.
    See  the link below for the official communication.
    Lightroom Journal | Tips and advice straight from the Lightroom team.
    Quote from the communication. "Camera Raw 8.8 is now available as a final release for Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC.  DNG Converter 8.8 is provided for all Lightroom customers and Photoshop customers using versions of Photoshop older than Photoshop CS6."
    It is clear that there will be no further versions of ACR version 8. and unlikely to be a version 5.8 for Lightroom. We have to await Photoshop CC 2015 and LR 6.

  • Why won't Lightroom delete files I tell it to?

    I have several Lightroom catalogs.  Most I rarely use because they contain photos I don't work with often.  I was using a couple of those catalogs yesterday and found that I could not delete photos from disk or remove the Lightroom entries in them.  The first time I came across was when I told it to remove the catalog entries for missing files.  It did nothing, no error message or anything.  The catalog entries are still there.  Later I edited a file in Photoshop.  The new file appeared in Lightroom as it should.  I later decided to delete that file from Lightroom.  Again, nothing happened,  no error messages.  It just did nothing.  I can go into Windows Explorer and delete the file there, but it will still show up in Lightroom and I cannot delete/remove the Lightroom entry.  I checked the Windows permissions and it appears that I have all the permissions to the catalog lrcat fill.  I am not an expert on permissions, so I might be missing something.  I can add files to the catalog and I can add Keywords, but I cannot "Delete from Disk" or "Remove" from the catalog.  I am not having these problems with the catalog I use everyday.  The problem catalogs where probably created under an older version of Lightroom, but wouldn't Lightroom automatically update the catalog when I open it in the new version of Lightroom?  I am using Lightroom 4.4 on a Windows 7 Sp1 machine with two Coreduo processors and 8GB of RAM.

    Yeah, if it's catalog-dependent you got a snafu in there somewhere.

    That solves the "Delete from Disk (and remove from catalog)" problem, but not the "Remove from Catalog (only)" problem.
