I just activated my trial edition with a serial number. Now, when I open an image the cursor becomes a stop sign (circle with slash line through it).
Not sure that activation caused this, but I cannot edit my images.
I have a new Win7 x64 build with CS6 and ACR 7.3 installed, and have a problem with ACR not saving settings properly after the "Done" button is selected. In the past when I work in Bridge, open a NEF (raw) file, edit it in ACR, then hit "Done", when I return to Bridge the changes are reflected in the thumbnail. They are not showing now and the file looks the same as it did originally. Oddly, the round icon at the top right of thumbnails in Bridge are present as expected. When I try to view the same NEF file in a third-party thumbnail app (Faststone) or in Windows Explorer I also see no change. Thus, I have concluded that the problem lies with ACR.
Some notes:
1. While in ACR if I click on "Save Image" and save as a DNG the changes take effect in the resulting file for all apps.
2. When I edit a raw file in ACR and select "Done" the icon on the top right of Bridge thumbnails are present as they should be.
3. I have CS6 (x86 version) with the same version of ACR installed in another machine (XP Pro x86) and ACR works as expected there.
I tried to engage Adobe tech support and after multiple calls, call-backs, and about an hour of wasted time they continue to force me into a callback procedure. When they call I'm not here, so when I call them and must start again at square one. This problem makes it very difficult to edit a large amount of raw files in Bridge.
Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6? I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHaving problems with my preferences when saving edited files. In the save as menu the options to "save in version set with original" and the "Thumbnail option" is grayed out and won't allow selection.
I have been to edit-preferences but neither of those options are given.
way to use the history nonlinearly, like how you can modify something you did earlier in Maya and it will propagate the changes forward. Similarly it would be cool if I could do some stuff, stamp it onto a layer (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+e), then go back and make some changes without losing my stamp. I know I could just copy it to another document but it'd be nice if I didn't have to. I'm assuming I would know about this if it existed but I figured I would check anyway. It is really useful in Maya and I'm wondering why Photoshop doesn't have something like it after 15+ years of development.

View 4 Replies View Related I am working with PS CS6 and smartobjects. I do a lot of advanced batch editing.
I have an issue I have failed to find an answer to.
When working with a smartobject-image in PS, and going back again into ACR to to some adjustments on RAW file, and then back into PS, the updated adjustments I did on the RAW file shows in PS, but is NOT saved in ACR.
This is an issue for me, since I need to copy RAW settings and apply to many other RAW images. The way I work I may need to go back many times into ACR from PS to adjust the RAW file, I can not know the final edit the first time when opening the RAW file from ACR.
As it is now, the only time ACR remembers the edits I do on the RAW file is the inital first time edit which is applied before the file is opened as a smartobject into PS.
How can I get ACR to remember the edits I do when re-opening the RAW file from a smartobject in PS??
.cr2 files... i open them in either Bridge or Photoshop to the ACR panel, make changes, click DONE. when i reopen them to, say, make futher changes or process a whole bunch of files, all settings are back to default, all adjustments forgotten. this seems to happen often, but NOT always. weird.
using MAC 10.6.8 photoshop CS6 with latest updates installed.... this has happened for awhile, though...
I have installed actions / effects which i have paid for and have finally got them working in EXPERT mode but now when I go into GUIDED mode into PSE 11, I have no editing options to chose from (for example the cropping option, straightening, vignetting, EVERYTHING is gone)
What have i done and how do I get these options back?
I have a brand new MacBook Pro Retina Display 13" computer." I am unable to save my edits in Photoshop Elements 11. I get an error message stating that I do not have "write access." What does this mean? What can do or should do?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI cleared out my cache folders from Premire Pro and Encore recently. Now when ever I'm in Photoshop I am consistently getting the spinning pinwheel on very simple edits.
Example, I open a very small JPG, and add a box to it. Just dragging the box, I will get a spinning pinwheel. I don't get it on any other applications.
What I want is when I open a file in Photoshop (I have LR5 and Photoshop CS5) and make more than one edit, each additional edit shows up in LR without having to close and reopen to edit. I had it set up that way on my old computer and laptop, so that whenever I would "save as" it would add the new edit to my LR catalog. But I am just setting up a new computer I got and it will save the first edit for me in LR but any additional edits don't show up.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a finished JPG and I am trying to re-create the settings I used in another image. Unfortunately, I didn't save the settings in a preset. Is there a way I can have Lightroom compare the original RAW/JPG with the final JPG and extract settings from that?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWith the Adobe CC upon us, I'm am questioning staying with Adobe proprietary DNG (proprietary in the fact it has edits embedded that only Adobe products understand) and PSD files long term.
I have never used Lightroom. But am a heavy Photoshop/ACR user. I have many ACR edited DNG files and multi-layered Photoshop files.I want access to my files in the future (including edits) without having to always have the monthly CC subscription (in the future).
Question: Can Lightroom (not a CC product currrently and hopefully not in the future) open & understand the edits (cropping, color balance, lens correction, ...) I've already done to my many DNG files in Adobe Camera Raw?
Even if I use the CC in the near future and eventually not subscribe, I want future access to my DNG and PSD format files, including all the edits).if Adobe guaranteed a free PSD & DNG viewer (understand the layers, edits, ...) and give the ability (for all time) to export to a flattened image with edits applied to TIFF!
After high lighting several photos, clik on rotate ( see there is no load on the CPU only a very small one in the middle) only the highlighted photo will rotate NONE of the others will not even over time do they respond. same in Libary mode as well
NOTE - why is "auto sync" showing as an option in libary mode?... is that not only availible in Develop mode? after i reset ( see below on the update) sync meta data is NOW shown as the option...
There are not the little 3 dots on the selected photos, showing that it is "working on the edits"
I cleared raw cache, reset all develop presets, restored all local adjustment presets, changed Catalog settings to preview quality to medum ( down from high) Previews size unchanged at 1440 pixels
lr4.2 clean new install, upgraded to lr4.3rc, upgraded to lightroom 4.3 all versions were 64bit.
I edit my images for the most part in LR4 then export as a raw file into a new folder. Then when I view the images in bridge my edits don't show up. Do I have to convert to JPEG for my edits to stick?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Lightroom 4 and when I went in to look at some images I had recently edited, (all my images are large jpegs, and I "add" my photos to LR) they all started to change to some weird high contrast edit right before my eyes, one by one without me touching or changing anything. They also had a little exclamation point on them. When I clicked on the exclamation it says "the metadata was changed by Lightroom and another application" and I could "import settings from the disk or overwrite the disk settings." When I clicked import settings it reverted back to my original edit. But this didn't last.. after a few minutes they kept changing back to this other random edit.
I read online that I should save the metadata so it can't be changed, so I highlighted every image I have in Lightroom and saved the metadata. (this took about an hour for Lightroom to do) But now when I go back into Lightroom to look at my photos they do something different.. now they start to revert back to the original UNEDITED files all my themselves, one by one! I have already exported all the edited photos into folders so I have them. But what do I do!? If I ever want to go back to an edited photo and export it at a different size or retouch it or something, none of the edits are saved, I have to start from scratch! I'm a wedding photographer and I'm scared to load more images and work on them just for LR to change them back
Love the new basic editing sliders. But, finding when I "edit in > PS > edit with LR adjustments", the image in PS is NOT the same as in LR. It's "darker", the histogram isn't transferring properly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI went to pull an image for a vendor. I added a few to the quick collection. Fine right? Now when I look through the master files in the hierarchy, ALL of the edits are lost, including color labels, starring, flagging, etc. The only images that were not affected are any duplicates that I converted to black and white.I swear I did not change a thing with the catalog or moving files on disk etc. Can I import from an older backup of a catalog to restore my edits?

It doesn't matter if I process as TIFF or PSD.
Last night I made some adjustments to a shoot which I did using Lightroom presets. I synced the rest of the images so they were all the same before opening them from Lightroom into Photoshop for further editting. I unfortunately removed all the images from Lightroom but I still have the psd files which were opened in Photoshop. Unfortunately i discovered this morning that I have missed a couple of images and try as I might I have been unable to replicate the same use of presets I used last night. Is there anyway for me to tell from the psd files what presets I used so I can edit the ones I missed in the same way?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have been doing many edits in LR5 and I am losing something along the way...this is what I have been doing....
The image is edited in LR5 (exposure,blacks,whites etc) The image is edited in Photoshop (spot heal)...(copy with lightroom edits) Edits made in Photoshop are saved back to lightroom (not sure saving method here?) Final product is exported from LR5 to email (sRGB /JPEG)
The blacks in the image look VERY different once emailed from the Mac Computer. When viewing on the IPAD, Laptop, Mobile devices these images dont look exactly the same prior to being sent via email.
I notice a rather strange behaviour in Lightroom 4.3 in the Develop module: it appears that the Develop preview ("zoom to fit" setting, I guess that's what 99% of people are using when using the global adjustments) is only updated when moving the mouse pointer AWAY from the slider that controls the adjustment (it doesn't matter if it's Clarity, or Highlights, Shadows, whatever).
I happen to often click somewhere on the sliders range, say somewhere in the middle between 0 and +100, to get an idea what a Clarity ~50 might look like. If I keep the mouse pointer hovering over the knob, the Develop preview will look pixelized/blocky, and not update to a more refined preview.
Only if I move the mouse pointer AWAY, the preview will be updated. It's as if the rendering is delayed until you're really sure you want that setting, perhaps to improve responsiveness/performance? This didn't happen in LR 4.2.
I tried this with a NEW catalog and only imported something like 100 photos to it, and no plugins - the behavior stays the same. I uninstalled the latest AMD/Catalyst graphics driver and let Windows 7 (64bit) "fall back" to a default driver - again, behavior stays the same.
Did a bunch of edits to some photos in a particlular folder. Went to another folder and did the same. When I went back to the original folder, all the last edits I did were gone.
And, LR5 Develop Module is way slower than 4.
