Lightroom :: Opening Files From LR3 To CS4 - Desaturation Occurring
May 3, 2012
I upgraded from LR2 to 3 a while ago, and recently, I've had an odd problem opening my lightly edited files into CS4. I just do command E on my mac, and they open right into CS4. When the image(s) open, they almost seem completely desaturated? I shoot a nikon D700, raw, copy the NEF files into LR3 upon import, do light edits in LR (white balance, recovery, tone curve, some adjustment brush...) and then will open selected files into CS4 for futher tweaking. Why these images are doing this? If I go back into lightroom and "reset all settings" and then open, the images open fine.
Here is a screen shot showing the image in LR (left) and then how it opens in CS4.
I'm currently running version 3.6 of lightroom and 11.0.2 of CS4
When I use the web uploading feature to upload to a web gallery, a window pops up 90% through the upload saying 'an error occurred sending the file : an unknown error occurred.
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.
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?
I opened Photoshop the other day and it seems that all grey colors have been given red hues. During color selection, in all modes, etc... I've checked my color settings (which haven't changed)
i open up photos in photoshop, they automatically have a dramatically desaturated look to them, as opposed to other programs i have used opening the same photos, which look fine.
Every time I open a RAW file into Photoshop CS5 from LR3, it automatically creates and saves a PSD or TIFF file. Is there a way to stop lightroom from doing this? When I used LR2, I saved these files only if I choose to. I always convert my files to jpg after I'm done editing in PS and don't need these huge files hanging around.
I made a copy of a layer (a colored photo that I downloaded from Bridge) and I was messing around with the adjustment settings like desaturation. However, when I clicked on the adjustments tab most of the selections were greyed out. Do I need to go up to color settings and change them to fix the problem?
I've been using CS6 for 1 year, and suddenly have some desaturated skin tones in a few photos, it looks like the skin is painted with grey paint! I first saw this in a couple of JPG conversions, the RAW NEFs from a Nikon D800 were ok, but now have found the same thing in some NEFs. I am using an HP laptop with Win 7 64 bit and 8gig memory.
If I advance the Sat and Vib sliders in ACR, some of the grey becomes colored, suggesting there is a threshold below which the skin tone saturation drops out completely. No other colors exhibit this effect!
Deformation occurring when printing with different scales,
It is gorgeous that one can preserve the text size, hatch size, dimension size, etc. regardless the scale the drawing is going to be printed with.
For example, if the text size, hatch size, dimension size, etc. are proper as the drawing is printed with a scale of 1:100 then how about printing this drawing with a scale of 1/50 and 1/200?
A scale of 1:50 looks fine (attached) A scale of 1:200 has some overlaps! (attached)
Then how to get a nice drawing (dimension size, text size, hatch size) when printing the drawing with a scale of 1/200? In other words, how the annotation objects can be adjusted proportionally such that no overlaps and distortion is occurred?
How do I prevent PSE 9 from creating and displaying multiple copies of a given slide ? I have not asked for or made copies yet I often find multiple copies of a given slide, sometimes as many as 20 or 30. It's very annoying when trying to edit slides.
My main user folder on the iMac is set to be shared (read/write, including all enclosed files) with my MacBook Pro. The job is a series of one-page InDesign files (they are newspaper advertisements). The IDD files contain a series of Illustrator files with linked PSD files.The idea is that we can both work on the .idd and .ai files in the same folder at the same time.
It's all working fine EXCEPT that whenever an .ai file is opened on the MacBook, Illustrator doesn't know where the linked PSD files are. We can update the link, but when the .ai file is then opened on the iMac and saved, the same thing happens the next time it is opened on the Macbook.
I don't want to embed the PSD files into the .ai files as sometimes I have to modify them and they can be linked to up to 20 .ai files.

I recently purchased CS6 and loaded it to my desktop PC running Windows 7 and everyhing is fine.
I recently purchased a new laptop and loaded a second copy to it (running Windows 8). When I process a RAW file and try to open it in PS6 about every 4th file does not appear in the PS6 workspace. The file details show in the top left corner, the background layer appear, I supposedly can save this file but I cannot see anything. When I close PS6 and re-open it and re-open the ACR file, then open to PS6 if works fine.
I have Photshop CS6 Extended but when I click on the .cr2 which is the RAW file I keep getting an error message "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
I have tried installing the camera raw plugin Photoshop Camera Raw 7.1
I am running CS4. I have downloaded all recent upgrades. I have upgraded my camera body from a Nikon D90 to a D7000. Photoshop will not open the D7000 RAW NEF files. Jpeg files are fine.
Yesterday, before closing down, I uninstalled P/S 7, CS2 and CS3 to gain space, but do not know whether that action is relevant to my problem. Today I find that JPEGs will not open in Photoshop, and in Bridge only by going through Camera Raw. Photoshop will open tiffs, while Bridge will open some, but not all tiffs, through Camera Raw only. This problem follows many months of trouble-free operation of CS6.
My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate. I have downloaded the latest patches for CS6, and have set the Bridge Preferences item on File Associations to Default.
I am using win 7 and CS5. I have both JPG and RAW files; however all of a sudden when I attempt to open some JPG files, they somehow are vertically truncated only opening halfh the picture.
I was sent a file from AI for reproduction in .eps format. Corel X6 distorts the art on import or open. The same file given to me as a pdf is fine. Corel Draw's strength is it's import abilities, and I expected X6 to cope with anything Adobe could throw at it from current releases.
Most of the ai files I receive show to be compressed and I cannot do anything with them. I think I should be able to open them with CD X4, which is installed alone and also in a bundle with my Wilcom digitizing program.
Someone indicated that the two installations on one computer could cause problems, but it is convenient having both readily available.
This problem just started recently on my PhotoShop 7.
I try to open an EPS file that was created in Illustrator or Freehand (or any other EPS that is not a Photoshop EPS), it opens up as a blank document, like a transparent layer (you just see the gray and white checkerboard background). This happens whether I try to open the file by FILE>OPEN or if I drag the EPS file over the PS7 icon.
I tried everything and looked everywhere but without success.
