how I can setup Lightroom 3.6 to edit in CS5 where all my Actions and Plug-In software is located.
I have CS6 installed on my Win 7 operating computer so Lightroom 3.6 automatically defers to CS6 which I have not setup and transfered my actions and plug-in.
I'm running on LR 5.3, but this problem persisted in LR 5.2. Working in PS CS6 and Camera Raw 8.3. RAWs are NEFs from a Nikon D600.
I can't figure out what happened but suddenly I am not getting prompts when moving from LR to PS to "Edit Original" or "Edit a Copy".
I reset all dialog warnings and nothing. The prompt will appear for TIFFs but not for NEFs.
It's kind of pointless to not be able to choose to edit an original or copy with LR adjustments for a RAW when they are the file types that retain my RAW editing information.
Plus, when I do click on a NEF and choose to edit in PS without the prompt (it will appear with lightroom adjustments, not as original), it will open a second icon for photoshop on my dock, and prompt me to continue trial? I have a version of PS installed with the serial plugged in, and in LR "edit in PS" for a TIFF will open this primary version.
I am trying to access the edit original (edit with) option to edit a photo that has not been edited yet. I right click and go through the edit menu and does not appear or is not available? Would I have to reopen it manual in photoshop or is there a way around this to access that setting? it sometimes does not appear on my already edited photos.
I would prefer not to open each photo again, as some files i do not have and were imported into the document with another computer.
Am using LR 2 on Version 7, 64 bit machine, and, when right clicking an image file, cannot select CS5 as editing software. In fact, all choices are "grayed" out as being non-selectable, including Edit in Other Application. Used to be able to do it, but not

It looks like when I export a photo a 2nd time, then I get an additional photo on my hard drive. This is not really want I'm trying to do - I'm just trying to save it as an edited copy.
I think this contributed to some of the problems I was having with getting too many photos, then discarding the "extras" - that apparently was a bad, bad thing to do, but I'm still not quite sure how to handle this.
I can have one photo in multiple collections and edit them differently. Right now if I edit in one collection the photo will change in all the collections. For example I want a collection with just Black and White pictures, but I want to still have the same pictures in color in a different collection. This is in LR3.

After I save and return to LR4.2 in Windows Explorer it puts the TIFF in the same directory next to the original RAW file as it should, however in the Library module it gets a different entry. So I end up with the same directory listing with the photocount 1 next to it. It also doesn't show up in the main directory where all the other files are, it's not next to the originel RAW.
I can do "show parent folder" until the point I get to the root directory which then gives me an error message which says.
I don´t know why, but suddenly there seems to be no way, I can get edit in PS with LR adjustments. There used to be an options box in LR when selecting "edit in Photoshop". Now I get no options, and my adjustments from LR does not show in PS. I have tried both the tiff and PSD setting in preferences/external editing, but no luck. I have also used the "Reset Warnings" in LR, hoping this would bring back the external edit dialog box, but no luck.
as I have a lot of urgent work to do, and I go back and forth between LR and PS a lot.

It still errors out saying lightroom can't prepare the file, worked fine with all my random applications (Nik, Portraiture, etc.) in 3. Updated all I can figure to, reinstalled, used the CS Cleaner Tool, etc. No dice.

View 2 Replies View RelatedToday I decided I would try to use Lightroom to edit my latest photo shoot instead of Aperture just to test it out. If I imported all of my pictures as .CR2 files, are the photos I'm editing the RAW photos or the JPG photos? I do all of my shoots in RAW+JPG, and I don't know which files I'm editing in LR. In Aperture it's easy to tell because the RAW and JPG files show up separate but this isn't the case in LR. If I go into "Metadata" for the photos it lists the file name as "IMG_xxxx.CR2," but it also lists "JPG" under "Sidecar Files." I don't know if that means I'm editing the JPG or if that's just telling me that the JPG exists in the CR2 file.

Double-clicking the Collection Name will not bring up the Edit Dialog either. I tried removing the preferences and letting Lightroom create a new one but that didn't fix it either. Not sure what else to try.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have LR3 and CS5 using the Prophoto color profile on a Windows 7 system. I always shoot RAW (NEF) and usually use both LR3 & CS5 to process an image. The issue I have is after processing the image in LR3, I then use, Photo/Edit in Photoshop, for the image to open in CS5, carry out a couple of further processes (crop & clone tool) and then 'save' (not 'save as'). When I view the 'Edit' image back in LR3 the initial settings have changed considerably. The image is also slightly darker. I have also experimented in carrying out no processes whatsoever in CS5 by going direct to 'save' but the same issues prevail.An example of the difference in settings is:
LR3 settings; Tint +10, Exposure -0.24, Recovery 46 Fill L 3, Blacks 7.
The edit version shows; Tint +1, Exposure -0.41, Recovery 23, Fill L 0, Blacks 5.why the settings in the returning edit version are not the same as those shown in the initial processed RAW version which is also leading to a darker image?
I have both Photoshop CS5 and CS6 installed on my pc. I run on Windows 7 64 bits.
My problem is that in Lightroom 4.2 in Edit Preferences, the top panel "Edit in Photoshop" is "Edit in Photoshop CS5" and I cannot find a way to change this to CS6.True, I can choose CS6 as my Additional External Editor, but what I need is to have Photoshop CS6 as my MAIN editor. (At the top of the Edit - Preferences list.
Same thing happens when in Lightroom I choose" Photo, Edit in."The top choice (and the Ctrl+E) is CS5 again. I can list CS6 as an alternative, but it's not what I want..I get Photoshop CS5 opening automatically and I just can't stop it!
I need to keep Photoshop CS5 on my computer for printing purposes with a Canon Print Plugin I have for a large format printer. And so I reinstalled Photoshop CS5 recently. I wonder if it's because I re-installed it after installing my CS6 that's caused the problem.
Where in Lightroom 4.2 can I change from Photoshop CS5 to CS6 as the main top preference.
Operating in Windows 7, 64.

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy "Edit in Photoshop" option no longer works for RAW images. Photoshop pops up, but the image doesn't, no prompt or anything, just an empty workspace. The process still works for .psds or jpegs (I can "edit in PS" from LR)
I mistakenly downloaded the latest version of LR 3.6 without reading the fine print (stupid, right?) - apparently Camera Raw 6.6 is not compatible with earlier versions of PS than CS5, but LR 3.6 needs CR 6.6. I guess I made the mistake of assuming that CS4 wasn't so old that Adobe would come out with a Camera Raw update that wasn't compatible with it. So I've got to assume this is my problem and I'm just a bit irritated. Is my CS4 seriously that outdated?
Would you recommend that I revert to an earlier version of LR and CR and stick with my CS4, or just bite the bullet and get the updated CS5 (I really didn't want to spend the cash at the moment). Or am I wrong about the Camera Raw 6.6 issue and is there another reason I can't move my images into PS?
I want to delete some keywords and cant find the source for that task.

It feels like it's not letting me make any adjustment to the layer.
It was working fine a month ago. Had a client ask for a picture so started up LR4 and experienced the above problem.I have tried the following.
1. Created new catalogue, import new images. Still can't edit the pictures. Moving the sliders around and has no effect to the picture.
2. Unistalled LR4 and Reinstalled LR4 but still no change.
