Lightroom :: Can't Move From 4.3 To CS5 For Further Editing
Feb 19, 2013
I am trying to move a RAW file I have edited in Lightroom 4.3 over to CS5 for further editing. When I select the photos, then select "Edit in Photoshop" under the Photo menu, Lightroom tells me it can't open any of the photos I have selected. Am I doing something wrong?
I noticed that some multileader move when editing and some do not. This is very frustrating. Usually this seems to happened when annotative scale is on. I tried to avoid this happening by turning off annotative scale and this does not work. Instead I go to another file to find the other multileader text that doesn't move when I edit. I tried to find what causing this shift in the properties menu but can't see the difference between the two.
How to stop the multileader shifting!? Is this a bug?
I'm creating a window family by modifying a pre-existing one. One of the things I need to do is to move the reference planes defining the "left" and "right" edges of the window opening, so as to make to opening wider, but I'm not allowed to do it. The reference planes always move together, so that I'm stuck with a 3'-0" wide opening no matter what I do. I can't find any constraints linking the reference planes to each other or to a 3'-0" dimension - I can't find any constraints on them at all, in fact.
The file in question is attached. As I mentioned, the reference planes I'm concerned about are called "left" and "right". I have been able to move other reference planes in the file.
When downloading a bunch of images, as I am now, I want to edit successive images as downloading continues, and move on to the next image when I'm ready. Instead, LR4 keeps switching to the image currently downloading.
If I import my raw images into my Lightroom 5 library and edit some of them in CS6 within Lightroom 5 by using the tab. How can I save them from CS6 back into my Lightroom 5 Library after making further adjustments?
We get the dialogue box on our laptop, but not on our tower. This is with LR4.3, using the Photo>Edit In path to open a RAW file in CS5. We have installed the Adobe Camera Raw 6.5. Both computers are running the same versions of each software, but I don't get the dialogue box on the tower which ask to Edit a Copy which preserves the changes made in LR4.
Im unable to export files for editing from LR 4 into photoshop elements 9. All my settings are the same as I had with LR 3 but nothing happens, PS doesn't launch or open.
Yesterday, I opened a catalog and edited a couple hundred images. I applied a preset at import, made a variety of changes, cropped, applied color labels, and the Pick flag. When I was done, last evening, I closed down Lightroom normally, as I do every day.
I did NOT write all my changes to the files on disk, which I normally do at the end of editing, but not ALWAYS...
This morning, I started Lightroom, opened the same catalog, and NONE of my changes from yesterday were preserved. Nothing crashed, nothing closed abnormally, NOTHING unusual happened before, during, or after yesterday's editing. I closed Lightroom and rebooted the system. Reopened, no difference.
I went to the catalog partition and looked in the previews folders. There are MANY previews/files that show changes from yesterday, but in Lightroom I have NONE of what was done... White balance is back to "as shot", ALL the basic, detail, and other changes in develop aren't present, no Pick flags, no color labels, no NOTHING... In the preview files, there are only 45 files changed with today's date (I haven't touched anything, yet), but there are 1104 files changed yesterday, so there are changes in there, but they're NOT showing up in Lightroom.
how I can get the changes to show in LR again?
I'm going to have to go back through and redo all the changes because I don't have time to wait, but is there some way to FORCE Lightroom to read the catalog and previews and put the changes back? Or some other way to recover the changes (I'm presuming the changes actually ARE in the previews)...
I've had PSE 9 for sometime now and PSE 7 prior to that.
I've recently downloaded Lightroom 4 as a 30 day trial. I've followed all the instructions re 'preferences settings' to allow further subsequent edits with PSE9 but I still cannot edit with PSE9 even though the option is there when i go to Photo>Edit Photo> Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements.PSE9 doesn't even launch let alone not bring in the photo.So what have i tried so far to resolve?
1. Looking through all my application files on my Mac to ensure i've found the right file to link to. I've only managed to find 'Adobe Photoshop elements 9' - what i haven't been able to find is any file with the word 'editor' against it. So in essence i have 2 files 'elements organizer' and 'elements 9' which is my editor. I've linked to the latter but it's still not working.
2. I've tried dragging an amended DNG file onto the PSE9 editor icon. This then bring the photo into PSE's ACR editor - but without the lightroom amendments?
Lightroom 5 has crashed while I was editing an image, and produced a pop up menu advising Lightroom 64 bit has stopped working and the only option is to close the program. This has never happened before and occured today after I upgraded Flashplayer.
When editing an image or images in an external editor, such as CS5, OnOne, Nik, etc, LR5 places the images (when it works) at the end of the image sequence instead of where the origonal image came from and stacking the edited images with it. This is different than LR3 or LR4. LR5 does not seem to play well with Nik software either. After editing three images in Nik DHR Efex Pro 2 the saved image did not reapear in LR5. This was never a problem in LR4. Is there some 'tweeking' that needs to be done in LR5?
When I send photos to photoshop, they come back to Lightroom noticeably lighter even If I don't edit the picture in Photoshop. I'm using Lightroom 4.2, Photoshop CS6, images are RAW, and OS is Windows 8.
Sometimes when I want to edit a LR edited photo in PS, even when I open a copy with LR adjustments, some of those settings get lost when the PS file opens, especially brush adjustments.
I get this new iMac (OS 10.8.2) and I upgrade from LR3 to LR4.1. I had Photoshop Elements 10 loaded first before LR. The problem is when I am in LR4 and I want to edit a photo in the external editor. It opens PSE10 but no window and no photo. I was able to do this easily on a Windows machine matching LR3 and PSE10 and figured this would be just as easy. Not to fast apparently. What to do?
I just purchases LR3 and am shooting with Canon's T3i. When I import the RAW files (CR2), LR3 does not recognize the files and will not open them for editing. I am using LR3 on a Mac.
I am importing into iPhoto and then copying the RAW files into a folder designated only for LR3.I've downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 update and the LR3 Mac 3.6 update.what I am doing incorrectly as Adobe states LR3 supports Canon's CR2 RAW files.
I had a problem exporting editing images to DNG. Lightroom will only export the original unedited versions to DNG. If I export to JPG I get the edited versions, but it will not export the edited versions to DNG.
Occassionaly when editing in LR3 - final, the whole screen flickers off then on very quickly (Less than a second). I've only seen this effect when using lightroom 3, i.e. it doesn't happen at any other time.
System is a no-name PC, with AMD dual core 64 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, LR3 64 bit, 4GB ram, ATI Radeon X1200 graphics (On-Board).
I have a student whose images are being edited on import. She does not have any import filters active (i.e. nothing in "Apply During Import") and the History panel reports only the import and date. But basic adjustments are being made to the images (e.g. Exposure, Contrast, etc.)
I cannot figure out how to disable this editing.
She is using Lightroom 5, a Nikon D3100 camera shooting RAW, and is importing directly into Lightroom from the card.
I have been using LR4, and am starting to learn Photoshop CS6. I thought I understood that there was not need to make a copy when editing a photo from Lightroom in Photoshop. However, Martin Evening's Lightroom 4 book (page 394 if you have it) states 'once you have converted a photo to black and white in Lightroom and edited in Photoshop, there is no opportunity to go back to the colour original'. He then talked about it being better to create an edit copy version
the original file would be lost in Lightroom. He also suggested that Virtual Copies may not be a good idea - something about if the catalog became corrupted you could lose the Virtual Copies, and it would be better to create a 'Real File'
So if I were to do some edits in LR4, including convert to B&W, then do further work in Photoshop, would it be better, or necessary to create another Edit Copy of the file so I had the original + another original I could then do the work on. And shoulkd I do this on all files
I have LR 3 and Photoshop Elements 10. When I go from LR to elements I am unable to create layers. I inmport my pictures as DNG files. It says they are psd in elements.
I'm using Lightroom 3. When I pull up a DNG image that I had edited and exported as a DNG, the image doesn't show any of the editing history. How do I get this history to show for DNGs so I can make changes to that editing history?
