I am getting really frustrated as all of a sudden Lightroom has started opening the original DNG files for editing in Photoshop (CS5) instead of creating a TIFF file and editing that. I have checked all my settings and it still specifies TIFF as the edited file, it just doesn't work. I have tried restarting everything (computer, LR, PS) and every once in a while it will use a TIFF file, but 99 times out of a 100 it opens the DNG itself. The only think that has changed recently is that I updated to LR 4.1 RC 2 (previously had RC 1) - although I think it still worked after this update. Then I updated Adobe Camera Raw to 6.7.
I am relocating the masters from aperture and importing the files into Lightroom. While I'm doing this, I am converting the NEF files to DNG's.
The questions are, firstly, I thought the DNG's were to replace the NEF files at import? And second, if this is not the case, does that mean that I then have to delete the NEF files as I dont want to use double the disk space"
My start up disc is filling up and I have to delete a couple of thousand DNG's. When I go to do so, I am told that metadata has to be changed before I can do so. What do I actually have to do ?
My external hard drive accidentally fell from my desktop and now I have lost all my raw file. My Lightroom 2 still has the .dng files, can I recover my .dng files without the original raw files?
I'm thinking about switching to the DNG-Format for the RAW-Files taken with the Fuji X-E1.
When the initial RAW-Conversion for this file type was recently replaced by a much better one, my RAW-Files were automatically updated. I wonder if this would also have happened if I had saved my RAWs under the DNG-format.
Or, in other words, does a DNG include all the data from the original RAW allowing it to be reprocessed when a better technology is available ?
Is there a way to tell whether a DNG is the result of converting a cr2/nef vs. jpeg or tiff? I seem to remember an "original file" field in the metadata in the past.
Set-up- LR4, LR3, Bridge and PS4 and Elements 10 on a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8), calibrated 24” HP ips monitor
Problem : The corrections made on my DNGs in LR4 are not being acquired by BridgePS4 or Elements 10. The neither the images in the filmstrip nor the DNG file when opened in PS4 or Elements Camera Raw reflect the LR4 corrections. Puzzling, since the Cropping and Corrections Applied Indicators are shown with the Bridge filmstrip images. And, when I re-Save Bridge does acknowledge that it is doing new thumbnail extractions .
I’ve done all I’m aware to do.Save in LR4 in Library Mode with filters off. Did an Update DNG previews and metedata. Automatically write changes to XMP is ON. Restarted the machine
To troubleshoot, I brought a few of those images( again DNGs) into LR3, did corrections and saved.These images were rendered properly in Bridge’s filmstrip and corrections were carried into Camera Raw without issue.
My Panasonic GK2 creates raw files as RW2. I use (on my Mac) LightRoom 3.6 to import, convert to DNG and develop the files.
Photoshop CS4 Camera Raw 5.0 for Mac had been processing these without a problem. As of about 30 h. ago, it appears that my system no longer recognizes this format. DNG's from my Panasonic camera are greyed-out in Finder. In Adobe Bridge CS4 preview pane they are displayed with the DNG icon.
if update for Camera Raw is available, and if you think that might solve thie issue.
OTOH, believe I now have a viable work-around: after editing in LightRoom, export to PSD for further exiting in PS-CS4.
I have Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop CS6. If I'm viewing a photo in LR and select edit in CS6, the photo doesn't open in camera raw, even though I have CR selected in photoshop preferences as my preference. Is this normal?
I get using the last versions of LR and PS CC in Mavericks 10.9.1 LR 5.3 - PS 14.2 + CR 8.3 Resetting preferences (removing files under library/preferences) does not solve the problem. URL....
Out of 100s of thousands of RAWs, this is the first I've seen them.
..in G mode:
..In edit mode:
I tried opening in Photoshop and a different error occurs. I avoid PS as much as humanly possible and have not used it since acquiring the D4. BUT as I recall it shares this module with Lightroom so this message is unexpected as LR has no problem with all the other D4 images.
..In CS5:
Two main questions:
1. What do the two LR messages usually mean?
2. Does the CS5 message look like a separate problem . If so why does the camera raw module work in LR?
I have had this problem intermittently for years with different versions and different computers, but this time it is not going away. I need to use the 64 bit version for large files, but it keeps crashing in several different ways.
1- I open the program from the desktop. It shows the spash screen, shows the workspace for a couple of seconds, and then crashes with the message: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:Photoshop.exe Application Version:12.1.0.0 Application Timestamp:4d90d339 Fault Module Name:StackHash_8d67 Fault Module Version:0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp:00000000 Exception Code:c0000096 Exception Offset:0000000078e650ac OS Version:6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID:1033 Additional Information 1:8d67 Additional Information 2:8d672743ada8a2e1e75c51ac7051c8c2 Additional Information 3:354b Additional Information 4:354bf194360e47150cf5d5ca4e71d674
I am using the latest version.My video card drivers are totally up to date.I am using a decent computer with 16 gig of ram.I am opening the program as an administrator.I have reset the prefrences too many times to count by deleting the prefrences and holding down ctrl+alt+shift at startup.
2- If by some wild stretch of the imagination I get the program to start with totally cleared prefrences and running as administrator then the program will crash about 75% of the time when using "Save As".If I try to do anything special like create a new folder to put the file into then the chances of a crash increase greatly.
3- If I try to open up a file from Lightroom, even if the files are opening every other way, Photoshop will crash very often.
What is going on here? I have made no changes to my computer, have not installed any new programs, and, as I stated earlier, have everything updated. I even stopped using plugins a long time ago because I did not want to take the chance that it was going to cause this fragile program to crash, so all plugins are uninstalled. Why does this keep happening? When this has happened before everything will work fine for months and then suddenly I cannot get the program to open. When it does open again, for seemingly as unknown a reason as when it stopped, it will work anywhere from a few minutes to another couple of months.
This seems to be a problem that tons of people have, but I have not been able to find any answer other than "Delete Settings" or "Run as Administrator" or "Update *****." What can I do to keep this from happening and to fix it when it happens?
I have LR4 and PS CS5. Edited several photos this morning without a problem --But this evening, after editing in LR, clicked command+E to open in Photoshop- as I always do, but didn't get the dialog that gives me the option to edit with LR changes. The files are opening as raw instead of TIFF all of a sudden! I have done nothing different aside from updating the Kubota dashboard.
I deleted the Kubota plug-in since that was the only thing I did out of the ordinary but still no luck. I am deserate to get images edited in LR transferred to PS WITH THE EDITS! Why would it work one minute and not the next?
Just tried to edit in Color Efex from Lightroom and got the dialogue. So...it's only happening with Photoshop. I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling with updated Camera Raw 6.7 plugin. No luck....
way of opening images in CS2 where after opening they will appear in the middle of the CS screen rather then in the top left corner?
I can drag and maximize so they appear in the middle, but on reopening another image they default to the top left again, I would like them to always open in the middle?
LR will not open PS6 on same drive. Wants to open backup copy. when backup copy is off line it will not open at all just keeps making a copy of the image that I want to edit. Link between LR and PS6 seems to broken so how do I fix it? Yes, it does ask to fix link. I just don't which copy of PS it is linking to when it asks. Backup copy or main copy on home drive.
I have Lightroom 5.3 (64 bit) installed on my desktop and laptop. My images and catalog are saved on an external hard-drive that connects to both laptop and desktop via eSata. I just started experiencing trouble with Lightroom on my desktop - when I open the program, it stalls on the startup screen (Lightroom 5, all the designers names, etc.) and won't go any further. I am not experiencing the same problem with the laptop, LR works just fine using exactly the same images and catalog. Both computers operate on Windows 7 Professional.
When I attempt to open any file in Lightroom 4 I get the following message: "the file named......is off line or missing", in develop the message is "the folder cannot be found".I can open the files in Photoshop 6 with no problem.
When transferring a picture developed in Camera Raw in Lightroom for further development in CS5 you normally get a choice wether to open it with Lightroom adjustments or as an Original.
I updated to LR5 awhile ago and ever since whenever I plug in my cardreader with memory card my old LR4 catalog opens. I have been updating since the original version of LR and this has never happened. I went into the LR4 preferences and unchecked the box about opening this catalog when a cardreader is detected- I also have that preference set in LR5- the preference about which catalog to open... I tried to pick LR5 in the LR4 catalog but it said I can't pick LR5 because it is too new for the LR4 catalog- in LR5 I have it set to open LR5- so in LR4 I tried to set it to prompt me before opening a catalog- none of that worked-now I just get the prompt- so how do I get LR4 to stop opneing when a cardreader is detected- even though I have unchecked that prompt- and I have tried unchecking it and then restarting the catalog- none of that works.
I have a bunch of bmp files that I made by scanning old 35mm slides. Photoshop opens them with no problem, lets me modify and save. Lightroom can't see them (NO photos found). LR does see tiffs made from the same bmp files. Do I take away from this that LR cannot deal with bmp files, or (I hope) am I just missing something basic?
From LR5.2 edit in Photoshop locks up LR and PS doesn't open. Only Task Manager frees up LR.This started happening out of the blue in the middle of a day working like this and not doing anything else.
It also happend six months ago with LR5.0. Then, it freed up when I removed a program I'd installed so assumed that was the cause. This time, I removed anything updated or installed in the past day but no effect. Also update ACR. No effect.
Searching this forum it appears similar problems go unresolved so particapants clearly give up and presumably the situation corrects itself ultimately. Or maybe it never does!! Who knows? Certainly not Adobe who never respond here. They shift responsibility to their customers to provide support for each other. Amazing cheek! Imagine if a motor company did that!! Oh, your car needs servicing, take it round to Joe Bloggs and leave it on his driveway...
I can't afford these hiccups and the lack of interest, concern or care from Adobe is galling. They are so big and ubiquitous that they feel they can ignore their customers. And they do and they get away with it.
Working on a Mac pro dual core with 16 g ram. Was last working on an image in develop module when I closed the app. On relaunching it opens to the image I was working on, shows the little box that says loading then the program freezes and I get the very loved spinning beach ball of color. Have to force quit. Have restarted computer and so far have the same problem every time I try to relaunch. I have about 20 images in the library. All was working well prior with just a little slowness in response with adjustment sliders.
I take RAW photos using Canon DSLRs and I use to edit CR2 files.I've just got a brand new Lightroom 5 boxed with my new 5D camera and started to use it,
When I open the photos in the library or in develop mode I see the photos in good and light colors in the miniatures in the bottom of the screen.
When I double click on a photo, it opens up in a bigger format and it looks also beautiful (in the same way I can see in the photocamera display), however after around 1 second of "loading" the photo changes its colors and it's no more bright and beautiful it changes in more dull colors.
how to keep the camera settings in raw files and edit the photos starting from the edits that the camera made?
I just bought LR5 yesterday. I own Photoshop CS5. Normally I open my images in LR, make my raw adjustments and then open in CS5 for my creative editing. When I do that now from LR5, the adjustments revert back to the original settings when opened in CS5. I downloaded and installed the new Camera RAW 8.1... it didn't make a difference.
LR5 is useless to me if the adjustments don't transfer over to CS5 as I ALWAYS use finish in CS5.
