for some weird reason all of a sudden the adjustments I make to my images in ACR are not carrying over when I open them in CS5. I've cheked the Adobe website to make sure I have the latest versions of both ACR & CS5 & I do. Any thoughts on how I can correct this? Very frustrating to adjust 10 - 15 wedding images in ACR then they're right back to the original image when I open them in CS5.
View 11 RepliesWhen I make adjustments to a photo in Ligthroom, such as Lens Correction, those adjustments are not applying to the image when I pull it into Photoshop.
All the sudden it just stopped carrying the adjustments over.
Lightroom adjustments that I make to an image are not being carried over when I "Edit in Photoshop CS6". I'm using LR 4.1 and ARC 7.1.

Is there a way of examining a JPEG image that has been 'through' PS and seeing which PS filters/adjustments have been made to it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI transfer my adjustments from lightroom to photoshop for additional editing. The adjustments show in the new Photoshop file. However, when I make a selection from that file and copy and paste it into a different Ps file, it does not show the adjustments. I even tryed saving the adjusted photoshop file as a jpeg and then opening it up and reselecting what I want.....Copy and paste it.....and the adjustments still don't appear on the different Ps file/photo. How can I keep the adjustments made in lightroom as a selection to copy and paste to a new file?

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have a bunch of shots taken using natural light - the shots all have completely different exposure and white balance adjustments.
Now that the shots feel like they've been shot at the same time of day (and on the same day) we'd like to start adjusting the white balance accross multiple shots - but use the current white balance/exposure from each individual shot as the starting point - not reset the adjustments.
Kind of like baking the current settings or making adjustments on top of current adjustments - or make new adjustments relative to the current adjustments.
I am a commercial photographer and have use Lighroom since it was introduced. I just updated Photoshop to CS6 and found that the Chromatic Aberration corrections I apply to an image in Lightroom 4.2 are NOT following the image when I open the image in CS6 using Command-E to open the image from Lightroom. All other Lightroom corrections have been applied, only the Chromatic Aberration correction is missing. One other piece of information is that I convert all RAW files to DNG when I inport the RAW file into Lightroom. I had none of these issues when I was using Photoshop CS5.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Photoshop CS5.5 and I've placed a layer with my watermark. I'm trying to apply a plastic wrap effect, or many different artistic effects. But I cannot preview what it will look like prior to carrying out the artistic filter.
I think I may have to rasterize the layer or something like that. Basically I carry out the filter. nothing changes.Older versions you could see what was going to happen before you carried it out.
I did not download the LR5 beta. This is the new update - upgraded my LR4 catalogue today, now trying LR5. In Develop mode. I'm getting some seriously weird issues.
Example. Adjust exposure by +33 on one image. Hit Cmd Right to go to next image. The next image automatically adjusted itself to +33 to match. WTF?
Changed an image to B&W. Before even going to the next image - the one next to it changed to B&W automatically - to match. Even had the same burn masks etc.
It's like it has Auto Sync on or something - but it isn't.
I noticed that if I adjust by +33 then hit enter. Then go to the next image - the setting isn't carried over. I also noticed that sometimes the preview is carried over. But if I hit the history and go back one state - then back to the last state - it corrects itself. But in the case of one B&W image - it did not. It lost my history of ever having changed the image to B&W. Really odd and worrying.
I am creating a table of data using mtext to store data such as project name, client name, address, phone, scale, date etc. etc. and I plan to use that as the "master data" so I dont have to change a dozen text blocks whenever I update the file.
So I use FIELDS to enter the data into my title block. Problem is it works fine in Modelspace, but it doesn't carry over to Layout.
I have a sheet set with several sheets, each sheet with a viewport that ultimately xrefs to the same base file. In that base file, I have changed some layer properties (color), but I can't get those properties to show up in the viewports on each sheet unless I go into the layer properties of each viewport on each sheet and change them individually. On other layers, I have set them to be no plot layers in the base file, but they still plot on the sheets. I have tried just simply freezing them as well, but they still show up in the viewports. I have tried viewport overrides, but maybe don't do it properly? How can I get these properties to translate over to the viewports on each sheet without going through each sheet one by one?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy problem is this; I have several production sets (Sheet Sheets) of drawings in which the referenced drawing's layers are not carrying over.
To clarify; In my base file file I went through and froze out and changed the color of several layers. When I reference that drawing into my sheet sets all of the layers are turned back on and set to the original colors. I should also note that the offending referenced drawing is also an xref. It is a large architectural drawing with several dozen nested xrefs refernced into a base file in which I have inserted blocks and symbols.
I've tried different VISRETAIN settings and other options. Nothing seems to work. I've also went through various forums and tutorials to try and solve the problem before I posted here. I'm at my wits end!
One of the great features of the Sony NEX-7 is that the NEX-7 makes automatic lens corrections for vignetting, chromatic aberration and distortion problems. These corrections are written to the file and the preview. However, when converting these images from ARW to DNG the correction data seems to be lost, and the images revert to their uncorrected state. This requires all images to then be re corrected with the Adobe lens profiles, which is both tedious, an extra step, and also seems to produce results that are somewhat less optimal than the original corrections made by the camera.
Should not the ACR Converter and Lightroom retain the lens corrections made by the camera?
I understand the benefit of shooting camera raw and I like the adjustments you can make without effecting the photo itself. The one thing I can't get used to is the limiting workflow in raw that allows you to undo only one change. Being a long time user of Photoshop I'm spoiled by all the image changes I'm allowed to make in combination with one another and the ability to back out of all or some of them.
I'm I missing something in the raw workflow? I wasn't sure if this should be posted in the Photoshop, Bridge or Raw forum. If any of you know of a forum that discuss's this sort of stuff,
There are two ways to apply the Brightness/Contrast command in legacy mode,
Choose Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast
or
Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast
upon flattening layers in CS5, any changes made seem to vanish? This occurs when flattening adjustment layers and has even happened after e.g. Image>Adjustments>Curves (when I close the adjustment dialogue the changes aren't applied.) This doesn't happen on every photo ( I can have two open and it will only be seen on one) and I havene't ever had it happen before. It seems particularly likely to happen after applying HDR toning although I'm sure if there is any connection.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to make image adjustments such as contrast in a gradient manner?
For example, if when fixing an old photo, the photo is bright in one corner and dark in the opposite corner, it would be nice to apply a gradient type of adjustment.
Suddenly I am no longer able to make any adjustments to images. When I try altering the curves, or levels, it looks like a change is happening,(shows up in preview)but when we hit OK, the change I made completely disappears and the image looks the same as before I tried to apply the adjustment.

Photoshop CS.
I have scanned b/w documents.
After opening the file, I change the mode from bitmap to grayscale for making adjustments. I usually need to get more contrast, ie make the paler lines darker and more visible. So, Image->Brightness/Contrast or Levels. I get small window to work with and I have preview option checked. I can see the result on the image, when I make the adjustments. Fine so far.
But then, when I press OK, it will go back to the original situation with no changes made.
I have some questions about adjusting a (digital) photo in photoshop. I have read some books about this but everybody says something different. What things should i use to improve my photo? Should i use Curves, Levels, Color Balance, Selective Color or only one or two of these? Wich of these should i use first and wich are more important and wich not?
Also I would like to know if CMYK or RGB color is better for printing. And if there's some general diagram about how much magenta, yellow and cyan one photo should contain? Or is this just personal taste.
I already know Unsharp Mask is the last thing u should add to an image in most cases. But i'm really curious about color adjustments because i want to make the best image possible.
Question: Why won't layer adjustments save?
Details:
I work for a music publisher that wants to make older publications available for download via their website.
I scan the sheet music and get a PDF as a result.
Some pages are too light; some need to be rotated a bit.
I open the PDF and export each page as a TIFF.
Then I open the TIFFs in Photoshop.
Rotating the image is no problem.
A Levels Adjustment Layer gives me darker blacks, higher contrast.
I save the TIFFs, then use Acrobat Professional 8.x to create a PDF from multiple files.
I combine the TIFFs, save the new file.
The rotation changes are there in the new PDF, but the level changes aren't.
If I open the TIFFs again, they look fine -- meaning that the Adjustment Layer is still present.
Next, I tried merging layers (there are just two: Background and the Adjustment Layer) and saving the TIFF again.
Close the file; reopen it in Photoshop.
One layer (Background) which seems to have no change from the pre-adjusted original.
I've tried saving in different formats (Photoshop PDF, JPEG, EPS, PSD) before and after merging or flattening.
The only thing that seems to work is the Photoshop PDF format. When I open that in Acrobat, the level adjustments are preserved.
But the resulting PDF is huge. To illustrate:
A 12-page folio typically contains only simple lineart (no photos) and text on page 1 and music (just a font, not an image) on pages 2-12. Sometimes there is an EPS barcode on the final page.
The PDF my scanner produces usually weighs in at 3MB.
The recombined PDF made of 12 Photoshop PDFs (TIFFs extracted from the original PDF, then adjusted in Photoshop and resaved) is typically 60+MB. Using Acrobat's PDF Optimizer gets the size down to 20MB or so.
But this is huge. These files should be around 1-2MB tops.
I have hundreds of pieces to scan, adjust, and prep for downloading.
Finally, my specs:
iMac
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3 GB RAM
Mac OS X 10.5.7
Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1
I'm trying to create a pretty simple "starfield" by using noise and then playing with the Levels. When I go to adjust the levels, everything looks good in the preview. However, when I click "ok" the image reverts back to what it looked like before, with maybe a VERY slight change, but nowhere close to what my preview had shown originally. I'm not sure what could be causing this, but it does the same thing whether I try levels, brightness/contrast, and threshhold.
View 1 Replies View Related[URL] Namely, when using Adjustments > Curves, the changes appear in the preview mode but don't stick when I press OK.
I'm using Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0 under Windows 7.0. I received some black and white drawings from two artists. They're TIFFs, converted to CMYK/8, with only one background layer. My goal is to darken the black lines in selected sections using the Curves function.
I've used Curves successfully with the images from Artist A but not Artist B, so I don't think it's a problem with my technique or my Photoshop installation. It must be something specific to Artist B's files.
1) Deleted the preferences file and let Photoshop create a new one. No change.
2) Viewed the image at 100% rather than, say, 33.3%. Actually, that's worse. The changes are visible in the preview mode at 33.3% but NOT at 100%.
3) Created a duplicate layer with CTRL-J and tried Curves on it. No change.
4) Double-clicked on the Background layer to create a Layer 0 and tried Curves on it. No change.
* The Curves preview mode shows the changes when I lighten the sections, but there's no perceptible change when I darken the sections. Again, the changes don't stick when I press OK.
* I tried the Brightness/Contrast function to see what would happen. Nothing. The images don't change even in the preview mode.
But when I clicked the Use Legacy box in Brightness/Contrast, the function worked and the changes stuck. What does that mean? That the files are saved in an old format that version 10.0 can't modify? I thought a TIFF was a TIFF.
To address the last point, I saved the file under another name and tried Curves on that file. I tried the four suggestions above as well. Again, the changes in the preview mode were visible at a lower magnification but not at 100%. The only difference is that, unlike before, darkening the image produced noticeable changes. But the changes still didn't stick when I pressed OK.
I'm using CS4 photoshop on my iMac 2008. When I try to apply image adjustments like 'posterize' or 'Brightness/Contrast' or 'Levels' to my image, I can adjust the settings in each dialog box, and I see the changes on my image because the 'Preview' box is checked. But when I click 'OK', the image reverts to its original and no changes are applied to the image.
I started out by importing a .jpg into photoshop. I've tried working on this .jpg, and I've also converted to Photoshop file format .psd, and still the same problem occurs. The original image had colour, but I converted it to grayscale. I also tried not converting to grayscale, and still the same problem. I am trying to make the image high contrast, with only black and white (no grey).
The same problem also occurs when I apply my adjustments on adjustment layers. Here I am able to modify each adjustment layer. The image changes and looks the way I want. But when I go to save the image, no matter what format I save as (.jpg, .psd, or .tif) the resulting image has none of the adjustments. It's still the original.
