Having 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.
I 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
I'm on CS5 Recently I saved a file on photoshop in the Photoshop PDF format. It changed my default saving format to Photoshop.PDF. How do I reset or revert it back to my default .psd format?
View 3 Replies View RelatedNew to this forum and PSP (X4 Ultimate). Working on a raw file (dng) in the Edit tab, I make changes then save to a jpg in another folder. The next day I want to undo some of the changes so I edit the dng raw file again but all my previous changes are no longer available. Am I doing something wrong? Or are my previous changes just no longer available in the raw file? Doesn't PSP keep track of changes made to raw files so you can continue to evolve the image? As I said, I am new at PSP so I hope I'm just doing something wrong. I have used Lightroom for a while now but I really like what PSP can do and the speed to make changes , especially to portraits.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to save my work in PSE 9 it crashes every time. I've removed preferences by pressing shift, control, option after launching the program. The window came up if I wanted to remove preference I clicked yes. Restarted my computer and relaunched PSE9 still crashes.
I've also removed the twain plug in this way: Program FilesAdobePhotoshop Elements 9Locales<locale>Plug-InsImport-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
I dragged it twice to my desktop but the file still seemed to remain in place (even though I had 2 new copies on my desk top), so the third time I did it, I clicked it and moved it to trash. Again, I restarted my computer and relaunched PSE9 and it still crashes when trying to save.
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.
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.
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.

Love the way it looks, I used multiple tools... gradient overlays, noise, sepia tones....on and on..... Now I want to take every action I used from my layers pallet and apply them to the next 20 photos. I'm using CS3
View 4 Replies View Relatedway 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 8 Replies View RelatedI have started editing photos using the Photo Fix Options in Instant Fix. I have then switched to Photo Editor to fine tune my edited picture. When I use save or save as, to save the edited picture both the edited and original appear in the files. If I start in in Photo Editor and save there is an option to uncheck that reads "Save in version set with Original" However I am more comfortable with beginning in Instant Fix and then switching to photo editor. For some reason when I go to save after switching from Instant fix to Photo editor the uncheck feature is no longer available. step by step instructions to save revised photo afterusing Instant Fix first then Photo Editor.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running PS5 on Mac OS Mountain Lion. I'm having to reset the preferences file a lot at the moment, as some of the presets are going missing from the drop down box.
This is happening in the Levels adjustment dialog box. So, when I reset the preferences file the drop down presets that come with PS5 then reappear. Does the preferences file keep getting corrupted? If so, why?
I am upgrading Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop CS6. Is there a way to copy my preference settings from the older version to the newer?
