I like to edit my images in Photoshop. why after I upload raw files into LR and using photoshop as external editor, the file opens but not in the PS (photoshop) raw processor. I have to work around this by first finding the image in windows explorer and dragging this file into PS. Shouldn’t the file open automatically in the PS raw processor ?

I'm able to open 64 bit by shortcut and it runs very well, about 10 times faster loading time and extremely smoothly for everything I do.

Mac OS X 10.8 introduced a new behavior - apps could automatically open the documents that were open in the last app execution. Can Photoshop CS6 be configured to behave this way?

However, I just upgrades from 3.6 to 4.0 and notice that the old files are still on my hard drive in the 3.6 folder. Do I need to keep these files or can I UNINSTALL LR 3.6?

When it does it places them in the wrong folder (the same folder every time) and it does so before I have finished processing in LR. When I delete or move the files in Elements10 the photos in LR show the "missing photo" flag.

Is there a maximum number of files in a folder that can be processed by the Image Processor in CS5?
I'm trying to convert a bunch of jpgs to tiffs and I have to run an action (high-pass filter+threshold) before it saves them. This works out fairly well when using a small amount of files. When I try to load my main folders then Photoshop stops responding as soon as I try to initiate the processor. I sometimes get an error if I let it sit for a long time. I've tried this on two computers with the same result.
I have over a million files across 9 file folders that I need to process.
For years I have been using Bridge and ACR for my raw workflow. I use only DNG files and have the database turned off so the EXIF data is embedded right into the original DNG file. This means my files are 100% portable without and sidecar.
Can I work with lightroom 4 without having a database? OR can I assure that each DNG file has all it's setting automatically embedded as it does in Bridge?
My Lightroom 4 catalogue is now automatically updating my DNGs from Process 2010 to 2012 when I open the folder in Library. The Update Dialog box does not open. I do not want this to happen automatically, but cannot find a preference or setting to control this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery 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.
View 13 Replies View RelatedLong time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
After many years of using LR this is the first time I've encountered this issue (see 1st screenshot below). LR is scrambling my files. The affected raw files open fine in other programs, including adobe photoshop cc (see 2nd screenshot).
View 15 Replies View RelatedI just did a reformat, and I used to be able to open DNG's in ACR just by double clicking them, but I can't figure out what setting that was. It was nice to avoid having to right click and select Open in Camera Raw, and just press enter.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been away for a few months and now, when I go to open a RAW image in CS6, it tries to default to Photoshop, then opens in Camera RAW. This is something new. How do I get RAW images to open automatically in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw)? They did before (two months ago). They do not now. I can, of course, right click and go to the dropdown menu and tell it to open in RAW but that is an extra, unnecessary step. There's a saying..."It's not a bug, it's a feature." No, this seems to be a bug. What happened?

View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently Photoshop CS6 has started automatically opening up to a certain photo every time I launch it. I'd like to stop this behavior.
I am on a MacPro running Mt. Lion, all sw is up to date.
When I open an image by double clicking on the file name, or by right-click > open in > photoshop, immediately up pops an image saying "Some Clipping May Occur" or the print dialogue in some cases.
But, if I drag the file into PS and drop it, it does not try to print it. So it seems to be something about actually "opening" a file that makes it want to print. I tried changing the file association to another program then back, but it didn't work. I'm using WinXP
I've been using various versions of Lightroom on my Mac for many years without issue. I love the program. Recently though, when using the last iteration of Lightroom 3 I began to experience problems when performaning processor-intensive work. For example, my library has nearly 200K images, and these are organized into hundreds of folders (bird species), each folder containing from 1 to up to 14K images. My workflow is to bring in the photos, rename them, and then shift them over into these species folders. For me it's an easier and faster way to get my hands on specific images than using tags. In any case, when I try to move images between folders lately, Lightroom slows down and eventually crashes. It also crashes the other apps running on my Mac at the time (usually just a web browser). I get the gray screen of death and have to reboot the Mac. Start over and after a few minutes of work it happens again.
Today I upgraded to Lightroom 4.3 hoping that might solve the problem, but I experienced the same crash behavior tonight while shifting some photos around. The Mac is a Macbook pro, recent model with latest OS and with 16GB RAM. I don't experience problems like this with any other application, but Lightroom is now bringing my computer to its knees! I even took the Mac into the Apple store and had the full diagnostics run and they found no problems internally. I keep my photos on external drives connected by firewire. Another potential wrinkle: Lightroom doesn't seem to be able to find a few of my previously imported images even though the directory is looking for them in the right folder. I get a "File offline or missing" issue. I tried pointing the folder to a new location (the same one) but that didn't work. Oddly, it does seem to find others.
Why does an image that has been altered by Lightroom cause the RAW Converter to open when trying to view it in Photoshop. Perhaps this might work; if I import, enhance and convert a RAW image in Lightroom to a jepg image it will open in Photoshop without issue. However if I then alter the jpeg image in Lightroom, update the Metadata and try to view it in Photoshop it cause the Photoshop's RAW Converter to open. Is the alter image's information held in a side car file (xmp) that can'r be read by Photoshop? If so would I need to re-export, (convert), the image again in Lightroom to embedd the changes thus making sure it could be read by all the various programs that are available to view images. As is I send photographs to newspapers and print houses it is important for me to know if they would be receiving fully adjusted images or only the adjustments that were made prior to converting from RAW to jpeg. Just in case...I am new to Lightroom.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have LR4.3 and a Sony A99. I have had no particular problem up until now. I have a handful of .arw files that LR4.3 cannot open.
Lightroom gives an error saying 'failed to find a location for the imported file' for each of them. I've not seen this before - all the other files (before and after) all imported quite nicely. It's just these 6 consecutive .arw files that LR can't read.
I also tried IDC (Sony's raw converter) which read the files quite happily, as did rawdigger. A friend tried Capture One and RawTherapee - also no problem. Then I tried Adobe DNG Converter 7.3 which also failed (It says "the file appears to be an unsupported format") It seems to be just Adobe applications that are struggling.
I even tried copying the files from the SD again, using windows explorer. Still no good.
Here is one of the files: [URL]
The pics aren't great or important but if this can happen once, it can happen again and I'd like to get to the bottom of this. The file is a cropped raw file straight from the camera when it was set to APS-C crop mode. I have taken a lot of pics before in this mode and LR took them all with no problem. It's just weird that these few appear to be unsupported...
I just migrated CS6 and LR4 to a new iMac. I then re-installed CS6 from disc because the licensing didn't come over. So far so good. But now in LR4, when enter CMD-E, or choose "open in CS6" from the Edit menu, nothing happens. The file does not open in CS6.
