Why Won't PSCS3 Edited Files Show Up In Lightroom?

What am I doing wrong here?
I am trying to go from Lightroom to Photoshop CS3. Why won't the resulting edited photos -- the .psd files -- then show up in Lightroom?
In Lightroom, I right-click on the image I want to edit and select "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3. I am then presented with three options(I usually select 'edit a copy') and there is a check box at the bottom to "stack with original" which I leave checked.
Then I go into Photoshop, edit the image, and save it, usually as a .PSD file. Then I close the file and return to Lightroom, but all I can ever find then are jpegs, no sign of the .psd file I just created.
I want Lightroom to stack the edited PSD on top of the jpeg and show it instead of the original jpeg. What I DON'T want to have to do is then go around and import the file into the library. That seems redundant... lousy work flow.
So, is there some way to get those PSDs that I create between LR and PS to show up in LR without going round in circles?
Thanks,
--PS

Is the photo in a collection? If it is and you edit in Photoshop, it will not appear stacked in the collection. However, if you switch to folder view you will see that it is stacked and it is on top of the stack.
Just after I posted this reply, I saw Lee Jay's reply and he right-on-the-mark. I had missed, well skipped over your line in your message that said:
>Then I go into Photoshop, edit the image, and save it, usually as a .PSD file.
Do not "save as" in Photoshop, just save the file and it should appear back in Lightroom: in the collection view it will appear as a separate image, in folder view it will be stacked.
(I also looked at Adobes help and and easy-to-miss sentence is in there:
>After making edits in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, you will be prompted to save any changes to the photo sent from Lightroom. Be sure not to do a Save As and rename the photo because the newly-created photo will not be automatically added to the library.)
And this is the link where I found the foregoing quote:

Why won't my .wav files show up in a 3rd party sound application after being exported as an omf file

Hi all, I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer, so hopefully someone out there will have mercy and help me!
I have Canon 7D footage (h.264 codec) and H4N Zoom audio (24bit 48khz .wav files) loaded into Premiere Pro CS 5. Editing on a Macbook Pro OS 10.6.8. I haven't added timecode.
My workflow, which I've done successfully several times in the past, is to sync the footage by creating individual sequences for each take (usually interview takes) and then bring in the audio and video and manually line/sync them up. I then link the two clips.
I then create a new sequence for my edit and then cut parts of the previously synced clips and then paste them into the sequence and edit away. After locking I export an omf (48khz, 24 bit, files as separate audio, aiff files, with 24frame handles). Then I import the OMF into Soundtrack Pro.
However this time, the majority of the sound clips do not show up in Soundtrack Pro timeline even though they are present in the omf folder as Aiff files. Normally you would think this was an issue with Soundtrack Pro, however one audio file did show up in Soundtrack Pro, but it was a sound file I had not linked to a video clip. Upon further investigation I found that that the audio clip that was not synced retained it's STE-014.wav name in the Premiere timeline. All the other audio I had synced to video had somehow taken on the video clip's MVI 0075 name.
I checked my old projects (the ones that I successfully exported to OMF) and even when I synced the audio and video, the audio retained it's STE.wav name. I don't know why the names changed; I did a test in my current project by cutting and pasting a synced clip at the end of the edit timeline and the audio retained it's STE.wav name. See pic.
After further tests, if the audio retains it's STE name it shows up in Soundtrack Pro (and Soundbooth as well), if it takes on the video MVI name it doesn't. I've tried exporting as an AAF and a Final Cut Pro XML file and it still doesn't work. I've tried unlinking and relinking the clips as well as making the audio offline and then relinking but still nada. I also cleaned the media cache to no avail.
If I render and replace the audio in the edit timeline, the name doesn't change, but the audio file does show up in Soundtrack Pro and Soundbooth, but unfortunately I need handles to edit the sound so this doesn't help me much.
Any ideas? and thanks!

Yes, it has always worked in the past. The past projects audio clips do not change names. I obviously did something different in this current project, but unfortunately I have no idea what.

Edited files show up as "not backed up/unsynchronized files"

When we edited files, they were saved as version sets. We backed up to photoshop.com. It appears that the photos have been backed up - although not all versions of each photo. Why are we getting this message? The edited files show up with that icon that's the red circle with the line through it. Is there a way that we should be saving these differently?
The same files also show up when we click unanalyzed content. What is that?

When you Sync a file to Photoshop.com only the top file of the version set is synced to Photoshop.com. Thats why when you select "not backed up/unsynchronized files", other files are shown with red circle.

Why won't my Embedded forms show up at all?

I've followed directions exactly on how to embed forms to my website. I'm using iWeb and pasting the code into HTML snippet widgets. I've built a few website before using this procedure, and Adobe Forms worked great in the past. Recenly, I've updated a website and created new pages. Is there something I have missed? Did Adobe change protocol? Is there something wrong with my account? Is there additional code needed? The form dispays in my website editor, however: Why won't my embedded forms show up at all in any browser,(IE, Safari, Firefox, or Chrome) whether the browser is pulling files from a local folder, or from a hosted server?

Hi,
Will you be able to provide the link to your web page? you can either paste it here or you can send it to [email protected]

Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

Hey,
Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
didn't download correctly.
Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

Hey,
spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
really understand.

TS4062 Why won't my outlook calendar show data from my iPhone calendar after synching.

Why won't my outlook calendar show data from my iPhone calendar after synching?

I have the same problem - between the issue I had with restoring after the upgrade (Error -48), the duplicate entries I now get between my Outlook appointments and iCloud, and the inability to have Events added from the iPhone sync to Outlook, I'm surprised there hasn't been more outcry about 5.0x! Not to mention the battery problem, which I HOPE they ironed out.

Why won't movie trailer files open in Quicktime

Each time I try to open a movie trailer file in my Quick time pro I see a down load window with a small X box at the top left hand of the window.
Why won't these files open. When I go to the same files in Itune Store I have no difficulty downloading and playing

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, but nobody gave me a reply. I don't know if it helps in your case, but I eventually found out it was my firewall blocking the download.
I could view SD trailers but not the HD ones for some reason.

Why won't Text Edit and Preview open in Lion?

I have installed Lion over Snow Leopard on my MacPro Dual Core Intel Xeon AND also mad a clean installation on an external hard drive.
In neither case will Text Edit or Preview open.
When I first log into Lion as the various application open on the desktop I notice that a couple of Text Edit files on the desktop mount a coloured icon. After everything is done the icons revert to a grey and white one with a grey "RTF" in place of the picture.
I found the same problem with pages (1Work 9.0) but then I found and upgrade in the Lion recovery pages on the Apple website. Unfortunately there is nothing similar for Text Edit or Preview.
Otherwise everything else seems to work.

I just found the solution on our problen on another post entitled:
After upgraded to LION, Preview.app and Textedit.app keep crash
The problem only occurred on one account on my machine. For that account the ownership on the "Library" folder at the root level of that account was wrong. I set it to the credentials of that user (me) and now both Preview and TextEdit open and work without crashing. This is a hidden folder when in the Finder, but I use the Terminal application a lot, and from there I did a chown to change the owner and group of the Library folder. An additional problem is that you need to have root access to make the change.
The discussion I refer to above gives the procedure to use when in the Finder, so if you're not familiar with using the Terminal window, that is probably the best solution. In that discussion, see the post from Silvertoe on Jul 21, 2011 10:08 PM.
Good luck.

Why won't my edited RAW images show after a LR re-install onto a new Hard Drive?

Hi there. Recently my hard drive took a (hike) and crashed - data may or may not be recoverable (Geeks are working on that), and I needed to reinstall my CS5 and Lightroom software to a new hard drive (I had to buy a new one). All of my RAW photos are stored on an external drive and were not harmed, thankfully. Here is my dilemma. Most of the presets I used also went crashing with that hard drive, (yes I believe they were backed up but also on that hard drive...stupid I know-trust me I know!!) but most of them were the free ones from the adobe recommended users on this site. I actually found many of my favorites still posted on the Adobe site and re-downloaded and installed the presets I'd been using the past year and a half, and imade sure those presets were housed properly in their folder via Preferences in Lightroom. Great. I can continue on with my work. WRONG! When I went to go import a recent shoot that I had already edited, it imported the RAW files but none of the previous edits I had worked on for these photos were showing up...it was as if I didn't even touch them and they came right from my camera. What in the world is going on? I'm baffled...and freaking out as I have thousands upon thousands of edited shoots in RAW, and I fear that none of the edits and enhancements made to those photos are going to be present and I'll have to start over. Please tell me that all of my last 2 years of editing photos are still with the RAW files?!!!
I found a deal on a an HP Intell Core i7 processor) 2 TB hard drive tower, so I ended up needing to install the 64 bit versions of CS5 and Lightroom 3.6.
I did test out the RAW (.NEF) file in Photoshop CS5 and my edited RAW image came up "correctly" - so I know that the information is still with the RAW image...I just need it to work and show in lightroom, as it is easier to export the files to the sizes I need them to be.
Please be kind in your replies...I appreciate any help/guidance I can get on this. Plus the photos I need are for Seniors graduating in a few months here so you can imagine the panic mode is just a bit higher than normal. Many thanks.

The default location for the backups created by Lightroom on exit is in the same folder as the catalog itself (i.e. that would be on the same faulty drive). It is, however, possible to redirect those backups to a different destination, such as a different hard drive.....but only you know if you did that or not. Do you have any other backups, e.g. drive level backups?
Just to be clear, if you are importing afresh into a new catalog from Raw files that do have XMP sidecar files, you should see the final edited state from the previous catalog, but you won't see the individual history steps that got you there (as that's one of the things that are not included when you write XMP data from within Lightroom). If there is no XMP sidecar, you'll just get the original OOC image.

Why won't rich symbol properties show when the .jsf file exists?

In FW CS4 I've created a rich symbol via the "create symbol script" command, then I reloaded my common library, and put the symbol from common librray on a page. Even though I have a .jsf file in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Common Library\Custom Symbols to match my symbol, there are no symbol properties available for it on my page.
I can use the create symbol script command again on this symbol & it comes up with the same properties I had already defined.
What would stop symbol properties from showing up when the symbol is taken from a recently reloaded Common Library & placed on a page?
I've discovered that I can see the properties when I use this symbol in a totally brand new Fireworks file, but I can't in an existing file that ever had that same symbol before, even when I tell FW to "Replace the existing item."
Below is my jsf file contents.
Thanks!

Solution Found: I had to explicitly delete the existing copy in my orginal FW file even though when I used the one from the common library I told it to "Replace the existing item" I guess the replace doesn't really work for rich symbols. After I deleted the symbol with the same name from the document library & pulled in the one from Common Library, it showed its rich symbol properties.

Why won't my keynote files from my MacBook pro show up on my iPad 2 via iCloud?

Hey anyone who can offer assistance,
I recently upgraded my MacBook pro early 2011 from snow leopard to mountain lion in order to utilize iCloud and am experiencing an issue syncing presentations from my MacBook to my iPad 2. The presentations simply don't show up on my iPad. I have gone through all the normal steps of making sure that iCloud is turned on on both the devices as well as confirming the documents and data tab is switched on in iCloud on both devices. I then drag and drop presentations into the iCloud folder (within keynote) on my MacBook pro and keynote confirms it has been uploaded to iCloud. Then when I open keynote on my iPad it is not there. I am connected to the internet on both devices as well. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I am a doofus. All I needed to do was go into settings, click on keynote and turn iCloud on in keynote.

Why don't my WORD files show up in the LINKS panel?

Sometimes my text files don't link when I place them. Why?

Since you can edit and create text in InDesign, but you can’t edit or create imported art, text links are treated differently than graphic links. By default they do not show as links in the Links panel. Go to File > Preferences > File Handling and turn on Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files. Now future placed text files will show in the Links panel. The only way to get already placed files to show is to place them again.

FAQ: Will Lightroom work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

What is a raw file?
A raw file is the unprocessed data that was captured by your camera sensor when you took your picture. The only settings on your camera that apply to this file are aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This means that any effects you may have applied to the file, such as white balance or black and white, may not appear in Lightroom. Your camera will create a JPEG copy of your raw file with all current settings applied and save that within the raw file for use as a thumbnail by most applications. When you first view a raw file in Lightroom, you will see this thumbnail, then Lightroom will read the raw data and create its own thumbnail, which may have a different appearance.
How does Lightroom work with raw camera files?
Lightroom interprets the raw data and makes image information out of it. But every camera has a unique sensor and thus has a unique form of raw file. Even though camera manufactures may use the same file extension each time (e.g. Nikon raw files are always .NEF), each camera model has a different way of storing information. Because of this, we must continually update Lightroom for new cameras. As we add new cameras to the list (over 300 now) we update our published list of supported cameras.
Will the raw files from my camera work with Lightroom?
To determine whether your camera is supported by Lightroom, check this list:
Supported cameras
Go to Help > Updates to install the latest release. You can also manually download and install Lightroom updates:
Macintosh
Windows
What if I own a previous version of Lightroom?
Supposing you have a camera that came out after the release of a newer version of Lightroom, so that your version of Elements is no longer recieving updates, you have two basic options:
Purchase the latest version of Lightroom that supports your camera.
Use the latest version of the free DNG Converter (for Macintosh or Windows)
You can convert your files to the universaly compatible DNG format (the files will work with any version of the Lightroom). See In depth : Digital Negative (DNG) for more information.

Can I perform tethered capture from my camera to Lightroom?
Lightroom has the ability to automatically import images from your camera, as you shoot, life. To learn more about setting up and useing tethered capture, please see Import photos from a tethered camera. This list shows all the cameras that Lightroom supports for tethered shoooting:
Tethered camera support | Lightroom 4, 3

Will Lightroom help me automatically compensate for the image distortion caused by my camera lens?
The Develop module of Lightroom includes Lens Correction which can read what lens was used from the metadata. With this information it can pick a profile that will reduce distortion caused by the curvature of the lens. For a list of which lenses are supported by which camera bodies, see this list:
Lens profile support | Lightroom 4, 3
If your lens is not currently supported, you have a few options:
Apply the lens correction manually
Use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader (Download: Mac, Win) to see if someone else has created a profile your camera and lens
Use the Adobe Lens Profile Creator (Download: Mac, Win) to make your own profile for your camera and lens.

Why won't my imovie file open?

Please someone help me!! I am doing a school project and as I was about to upload my project file from imovie to my desktop, the whole thing shut down. My file is lost, and I can only find a corrupted version of the file, which is probably an earlier version, and it won't open. How do I get back my finished project?
I have tried deleting the preferences and opening the corrupted file in bbedit and so far, nothing has worked. My computer says it is opening the file, as the properties have changed and it shows a more recent time that this file has been opened.
If anyone could help, that would be much apprectaited!
THANK YOU!!!!

Essentially the same thing. I double click on the Adobe Shortcut on my desktop, and it opens up for a minute, the blue circle spins and then it just closes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, downgrading to adobe 9.4 and nothing seems to work.
