Lightroom 4.3 options "in Edit"... "lost on Photoshop of CS5 at CS6 update

I posted this course in the Photoshop forum but someone there suggested it would be a better place, while trying to avoid a uninstall/reinstall Lightroom...

I spent the afternoon trying to understand this, but have had anywhere I hope someone here can shed some light on a problem I hit since my installation of Photoshop of CS5 update to CS6 a week ago. I use Lightroom 4.3 and everything was fine when I got PS CS5 installed. Since the installation of CS6, however, Lightroom cannot find more my installation of Photoshop and, accordingly, all specific Photoshop 'Edit in...' options in Lightroom ('Merge to panorama', 'Open as smart object', 'Open as layers', etc.) are greyed out. I use these a lot and would like to really get back them, but I don't see anything that allows me to Lightroom to my installation of Photoshop except adding as a new external editor (which is not restore these options).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Dave Wilson

This can occur if you uninstalled CS5 CS6 post-installation. If that's what you were doing, then try reinstalling CS6

  • Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

    When Lightroom 5 and I select "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014", it does not create a copy in a format tif or psd (or jpg) as it did in previous versions.  A box to pop up allowing me to set the file type, space etc. color then in Lightroom, I'd get a second file (filename - edit.xxx) and photoshop open this file for editing.  I am very use to this my previous versions of LR 4 and cs3 workflow...  Any help is appreciated!

    At the point where the image is opened in Photoshop is no longer raw images. You do not work on the raw file in Photoshop. The only difference in your workflow is when this TIF file is saved. Since Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized, the backup of this secondary file is deferred until the end of the session of Photoshop. But any work you do in Photoshop is registered in the TIF file. The only difference is the point to which the file is saved. So you really change your workflow at all. Photoshop, in itself, cannot do anything with the raw image data.

    To expand a little further, Photoshop cannot change the raw image data. When an image is sent from Lightroom to Photoshop, Camera Raw is used to interpret the adjustments that have been made in Lightroom. The image is then converted into a standard RGB image. When Photoshop and Lightroom are "in phase" which converted image is kind of 'suspended' in Photoshop. You make the settings using Photoshop, and then the image is saved in a TIF or PSD file according to your Lightroom preferences. When Lightroom is more recent than Photoshop / Camera Raw, Lightroom will give you the choice of creating the TIF image that includes any adjustments in Lightroom, or to open the image in Photoshop. If you choose the second option, then the image opens without creating the TIF, but any adjustments you've made in Lightroom can not be applied because you are using an old Camera Raw. Which may or may not create a problem. Something you'll have to decide.

  • My eMachines / Windows XP Home Edition lost my photos

    My eMachines / Windows XP Home Edition lost my photos just before it came down. I sent my computer to be fixed and the computer technology said my hard drive was still good and looked for the photos himself, but could not find them.  I had a lot of pictures on my computer is there a way I can find them?

    If the disk has been formatted and Windows has been reinstalled.
    I guess that your photos are non-recoverable.

    There is a * slight * chance than the freeware next or
    other similar programs could recover some or all
    your files. A Google search for File Recovery can find
    other options.

    Hard disk activity increases the chances of on-
    write the pictures then using the version of Recuva Portable
    may be the best option.

  • I'm in Lightroom 5.7 and I'm trying to 'Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6' but it is grayed out.

    Straight to the point, I discovered that most of my catalogs are able to access this feature and other catalogues, do it grey. I deleted the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist and restarted Lightroom and Photoshop. I reinstalled Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 and them was updated. Yet, I can't get this feature running for all of my catalogs. The last option I want to do is recreate my catalog from scratch and lose all my virtual copies and modifications. I find it interesting that some catalogs are able to see 'Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6' and some may not.

    Photomerge has been added in Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC 2015. Do you actually subscribe to the creative cloud? You pay a monthly fee to have Photoshop and Lightroom? If you are then you need to update because many of you have reported back. You'll photomerge until you upgrade.

  • Canon 5 d Mark III - Lightroom 4.1 - edit in Adobe Photoshop does not

    Hello, I appoligize if this has already been answered, I couldn't find a solution.  I have the new Canon 5 d Mark III and I've updated to Lightroom 4.1 so I can import RAW images in LR 3 5.  But when I go to 'Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5' or 'merge to HDR Pro in PhotoShop", put PS in the works, but it loads all files. I'm assuming it's because the PS Camera Raw is obsolete. So I downloaded cameraraw6-7_r1_win_030612, but when trying to install it, I get "some updates could not be installed. Update is not applicable".

    I also tried to restart and try, and I tried the steps outlined here:

    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/983626?TSTART=0

    What I'm missing here?

    Fixed using technical support. You must manually remove Camera Raw of the below sites and create a new Admin user to install under... The latter seems odd, but I kept getting "update does not apply" with my normal Admin login (this is a personal PC, and I installed everything under the Sun as my current login), it must have something to do with Camera Raw files that are defective in my user profile (AppData, etc.)

    For anyone else seeing this, remove the sub directories:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Camera Raw 6

    C:\Program Files\Fichiers Raw Files\Adobe\Camera 6

    \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRawyourusernameC:\Users\

    Then logout and log again under the new Admin account you created.  Install camera Raw 6.7 RC, it should install fine.  Then you can log back as your user and normal use with Camera Raw 6.7 PS.

  • Why Lightroom color match not during editing in Photoshop CS3

    I just started using Lightroom 4, the only version of lightroom that I used. Short version, save me lots of time. But I went to change more in photoshop and noticed that the color is radically different. I have Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) and ProPhoto color space is to match to lightroom. I have make changes in lightroom, say remove dust spots, it appears in the version of photoshop. It seems that, in the shadow of the coast is where it really shows. My workflow would be to import to the original raw in lightroom 4 (1 5 d mark II canon) and go on changing. Right-click to edit in Photoshop CS3, and it is where the colors go crazy. So if I save the file with any editing done in Photoshop and compare side by side in lightroom, they are completely different. What is the origin of the radical difference?

    comparison1small.jpgcomparison2small.jpg

    Here are the screenshots where the screenshot left the original image is the image dark and light, this is what it looks like when opened in Photoshop. Compare it to lightroom on the screenshot on the right, this is what it looks like when I saved the file in Photoshop. Then, how open it in Photoshop, then hit save the change of image? If I do edit in lightroom and then export the jpeg and open in photoshop, I get the correct color, exactly the same as my original lightroom raw.

    My external editor in lightroom settings are tiff, space colorimetric prophoto.

    Photoshop preferences are to preserve embedded profiles.

    If she does not make in Lightroom, it is absolutely false. CS3 uses ACR 4.x, which is not compatible with the LR4 2012 process.

    You must choose "Display in Lightroom" when it prompts or before opening in CS3. If it does not prompt you, try resetting your speedy deletions in Prefs-> General-> guests-> Reset.

  • Problem editing images in Photoshop CS6 with LR 4.1

    I have Photoshop CS6 with the latest version of Camera Raw, 7.1.

    However, when I try open a file in Photoshop using the Edit > open in Photoshop CS6 command, I get the following error message:

    This version of Lightroom can require the Photoshop Camera Raw plugin version 7.1 for full compatibility.

    Why is - what happens when I've already upgraded to Camera Raw 7.1?

    The 354 showing abfore or after the update? And if you use Lr4.1 not a RC?

    If you have the ACR7.1 and Lr4.1 and you still get this message, the first move the closed office with Lr Lr preferences file and restart.

    If this has no effect don't do the same with the PS preferences.

    If this does not help always place the old prefs back and check here agai.

    But............ first reboot your system!
