Lightroom :: Why Won't LR4 Allow To Export Into Photoshop CS5.1
Mar 30, 2012
i'm having problems with my LR4.I have LR4 and Photshop CS5.1.
When I try to directly edit a picture from LR to Photshop, I go to Photo> Edit In> and try to select "Edit in Photoshop" but the action is grayed out.
Plus, I made the same Photoshop my "Additional External Editor" but when I try to select it to go edit it gives me the "Unexpected error porforming command: bad argument #1 'lower' [string expected, got nil]).
Win 8.1 64 bit A Toshiba Satellite laptop, LR 5.3. When I try to export I get a window without export buttons at the bottom to do the export. Further if I try to resize the export window the export window disappears and LR freezes requiring to ctrl/alt/del to close it. I cannot export anything to HD or email, etc.
I was in a class last night where everyone had Macs and the buttons appeared on their versions and worked fine. Totally repeatable. I can supply screen shots.
I've created various snapshots of a series of photos and I'm ready to export. Is there a way to export all the snapshots at once, in a single export step? Up to now, I've been doing this step by step, exporting one version of the image, than going to the next snapshot and exporting again.
I was using a trial version of lightroom on windows xp sp 2 and now after 2 weeks it is not exporting images any more. I was willing to purchase a full retail version but does the full retail version has the same bug?
When I export a photo from lightroom to photoshop, work on it and click control/s it saves the file back into lightroom, but then I have to save it again to close photoshop or I get a dialog. Why am I having to save twice in a row when nothing has changed the document? Windows 7 photoshop cc lightroom 5.2.2
just started with my lightroom 4 / photoshop cs5 set up? when i edit a image in lightroom4 and export to photoshop cs5 ,the image apears to be over exposed ,quite a lot.i export from lightroom with lightroom adjustments and it keeps coming into photoshop overexposed.
This is a problem that has eluded me for a while. Im running Lightroom 3 and photoshop cs5 (both have the latest updates) . Now I've created droplets that run various actions. In lightroom I export images and use export actions dialog box to have lightroom run the droplet.
However now I get a "photoshop cs5 has stopped responding" and a "droplets can not communicate with photoshop.
Im running windows 7 64bit
Things I've tried
restarting both programs rebooting the computer running lightroom and photoshop as an admin recreating the droplets and telling windows to run the droplets as an admin
When I try to export an image without LR adjustments (original or copy) from LR5 to Photoshop CC, I get this message: "Adobe Photoshop CC cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CC works with this version of OS X..."
I'm running 10.8.5 on an iMac and have the latest updates of Photoshop CC and LR 5 installed.
I am using Lighroom 4. When I tried to export post-processed files (from NEF) to photoshop, I am getting an error (see the attachment below).
The problem has to do with missing Camera Raw 7.0. When I checked CS5 Photoshop, ACR 6.6 was installed. . When I checked Adobe webisite today, the most updated ACR is v. 6.6. How can I fix this error?
Long 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.
I've created a book in LR's book function: selected pics, soft-proofed and made gamut corrections, added photo and page captions, etc. I'm ready to export to PDF but every time (4+ times) I get an error message at what looks like the end of the process. I do have a file but it includes only the cover.
I've tried to send the book to Blurb but get a similar message.
I'm using an iMac running OS 10.6.8. Some of the pictures are laid out in 2 page mode--which I mention only because somewhere I read that mode creates export problems. The pictures are copies in raw (DNG) and sRGB format, and probably 15-20 MB each. I'm wondering if the pictures are too big or...
I am using Lightroom to version 4.3. The export feature stopped working. When in the library module if I choose a file(s) and click export I do not get the export dialogue box. Lightroom basically locks up until I press the escape key. Interestingly if I right click on an image, go to export and chose a preset it works? Do I need to reinstall Lightroom and If so how do I do this.
I've been using v3.6 on a windows 7 PC for about 2 years. I've recently upgraded to v5.3 on the PC and at the same time have installed v5.3 on my laptop also running windows 7. On the laptop using a few new images: the smart preview, exporting and web functions work fine. On the original PC which has my original catalog of c17K images these three functions do not work. As far as I can tell the association between the masters and the images in the library has not been lost. The library and develop functions in v5.3 are working on all the c17K images in the original catalog.I've set the Export dialogue box up using recommendations from answers I've gleaned form other discussions in the forum eg; making sure the 'do nothing' flag is active in the post processing section and reducing the quality of the JPEG image. Still when I export nothing happens.
I've been trying to export jpeg images from LR 3, and sizing them to 1110 x 525 pixels, @ 72dpi, the dimensions of my blog header. However, despite inputing these values, the exported jpeg image is sized at 793 x525. Quality is set to 85 and nothing else is checked. Am I missing something? I've also tried the "dimensions" and the "width/height" box choices, but it always outputs at the same 793 x525.
The files are from a Nikon D2h (a little old), RAW.
Lightroom fails to export to jpg most of the time. The application creates the desired subfolder, and displays a progress bar, but does not create the file.
In Develop, I'll click on the icons for the Crop Tool or the Adjustment Brush; the dropdown for the tool will briefly appear, then disappear.
In Library, I'll click Export; the Export dropdown shows for about 1/10 second, and an Export action begins, without me having had a chance to set the export parameters.
I've had LR since the beginning, all on Macs, and this is the first time for this bizzarre behavior. LR or OS? Hardware or software? I tried restarting LR and the computer.
I am trying to export some raw files to jpg and they continually won't export! I can try over and over, some will evidentually export but others won't.
I have a 66 image slideshow sorted from a collection.
LR will only export 11 images.
I have tried from the original images (not in a collection), have saved a slideshow, have previewed and played, everything works fine on screen but I can't export the slideshow as jpegs.
If I export a photo, then make edits and want to save them, should I export them again? 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.
Lion 10.7.4 MacPro - I cannot export from Lightroom 4 in my main Admin account. Lightroom gives me an error message - Spent much time with Adobe and it was suggested that it was an Apple issue. Apple tech doesn't think so.
Let me start off by saying that I am a total lightroom beginner. I am using publish to HD or sometimes simply right click and export to a JPG with a resize to 1920x1080 and it never comes out that ways. It comes out every time to 1919x1080.
I'm shooting with a Sony ALT-A65V in 16:9 mode. You can see the original, the settings I used and the resulting JPG.
Also, I notied another posting referencing something similar but is there something lightroom does to the photo by default? Even once a photo seems to be rendered in my view it seems to change slightly after a second or two.
I am working on a team of 3 photographers. And when we go to events, we syncronize our cameras in date and time so we can work easly in the editing stage. But the problem that I´ve encountered is that when I edit my photos in my lightroom and then export them, and then import them again with everyone´s pictures in the same lightroom, mine don´t mix, don´t syncronize with the times and dates of the other pictures and also, my red tags and stars don´t appear. And this is making us waste so much time, because the moments of a wedding for example, dont match and we have to order them manually...
What are the smallest eports settings for printing up to 8x12? Does resizing to 2400px on the Long edge at 200ppi make sense? I would like the smallest printable file possible. I am emailing thousands of Santa photos to hundreds of people and sending 10MB files is out of the question.
I am using lightroom 5.3 and am exporting a jpg from a file with a lot of pinks and whites. I "toned down" the pinks in the develop module and it loogs good on my calibrated monitor. When I export however, the colors (especiall the pinks) are much more saturated (as viewed in windows exporer) or printed by an on-line service. The image also looks good via soft proffing in the sRGB space in both perceptual and relative.
