• Lightroom "change in...» Photoshop CC"not conversion .tiff images, but opening the .dng in Photoshop instead. How can I fix it?

  It worked 5 minutes ago, and then without changing a setting, it has stopped working.

  Make adjustments in the latest Lightroom. GoTo picture/modify in Photoshop CC 2015. Up to 5 minutes or so ago, it would create a .tiff file that would open in Photoshop CC 2015.

  Now it opens just the .dng, glancing at the Lightroom settings, it is set for .tiff. The only other option is .psd. Switching to still open the DNG in Photoshop. Someone has an idea what is the cause?

  I opened a photo, it worked as it should. The next photo, .dng. Even the photo that previously opened as a .tiff now opens as a .dng.

  Not sure if this is a problem of Lightroom or Photoshop problem.

  Hello

  It's the normal procedure, a RAW file is processed by ACR in Photoshop when it is opened from Lightroom and the image in Photoshop window will display the name of the original file. See this image:

  

  After having edited and adjust the image in Photoshop and select Save image when you close the file will be saved to Lightroom in color space and file format you chose in your Lightroom preferences.

  This isn't a problem, it's normal LR-> Photoshop treatment, it would be open only in the file format selected, that is to say TIFF or PSD, if Photoshop had a different version of ACR (less) than Lightroom and Lightroom would make the file before opening in PS.

• The amount in Lightroom sharpening is the amount in Photoshop CS6?

  Is the amount in Lightroom sharpening correspond to the amount in Photoshop CS6; and that's how sharpness works? I love the sharpness masking feature, especially when it is used with the Alt key, showing how masking is applied.  Is this what that act as the sharpness of the PS?

  There is a difference between the capture sharpening and output sharpening. The general idea is to get the image (captured from the camera or scanner) just edges in LR develop (but not too strong) or apply then exit sharpening that you export the photo to a specific size and the object e.g. web or print.

  I have not returned only occasionally a tiff or PSD from LR to Photoshop. I tend to use sharpness as a specialized tool for final output, sharpening, for example up - rez a special image beyond the original pixel dimensions. or in an action applied to a batch of images. Otherwise, I stay in Lightroom. Of course SS will allow you to apply the filter on a layer and you can then set the mode of merger if necessary and use other Photoshop tools.

  This link has useful information of Laura Shoe on the subject of output sharpening. The second link is a discussion between Laura and Jeff Schewe on the differences between the SS in Photoshop and sharpening in LR on the Details tab.

• Question about the functionality of vector mask

  Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to Photoshop CS 5 so I apologize if I'm asking the wrong type of questions, here goes:

  When you work with vector masks you can:

  (1) "the link" or a vector mask with the other images? ' sharing ' a picture (for example) if I did 'A Building' then duplicated, but wanted to change what build a looked like, I have to only change the mask of the source, then the copies would be updated.

  (2) move the independent image of the vector mask (it seems that I can only move the vector mask, not the image itself). Or in other words: I can move the image and have the mask to follow, instead of being only able to move the vector mask within the limits of the image?

  My application of the question:

  I do a top-down 2D layout of a zone of type "Paste". I did to fill the buildings, building A, B, C, etc. and use multiple copies of each building. Ideally, I would like to be able to 'link' or share say building has a vector mask with all other instances of building A (so that when I change the master, they all change to the new form of mask). The second behavior I have trying to find is the ability to move without moving layer where the vector mask is on this layer (since it seems that you can only move where the mask is, which means that even if I could share masks, they all finish by in the same sense of place I have to re - position each hand again.)

  Any ideas are appreciated, thank you for reading.

  Yes, it's possible, but not with the classic system layer vector mask in Photoshop. Layer masks are part of a layer and not the layers themselves, so that they can be converted into a reusable object.

  The solution is to avoid vector layer masks and use a clipping/layer instead mask. A clipping/layer mask CAN be converted into a smart object that is reusable, and when you change one, all the other instances are also changing.

  The second part of the solution is to convert the layers contained both the clipping/layer to a smart object mask. Then the batch group. By the way, if your buildings are made up of several elements simply to include these additional elements in the clipping group. Another advantage is that each of the elements may still have its own normal layer mask. Win win situation. And layer effects can be applied to layers/clipping masks, once again what is impossible for layer masks. It also opens the doors to a much less destructive workflow.

  (2) move the independent image of the vector mask (it seems that I can only move the vector mask, not the image itself). Or in other words: I can move the image and have the mask to follow, instead of being only able to move the vector mask within the limits of the image?

  This is also solved with the use of layers/clipping masks - the content and the mask can be moved independently in regular layers. Another advantage is that the two can also be transformed individually.

  Any ideas are appreciated, thank you for reading.

  So here's my solution. I made a sample with two buildings, the view from above which could be reused as desired:

  (1) first of all create groups for each building and place the content to those. Then trace layer vector shapes on the content. Set the transparency for layers of mask to a reasonable of opacity for masking easier.

  

  (2) put the vector shape under the layer of content for each building. Then, for (1) and (2), , click on the border between the content and the shape layer. (for Mac), this will hide the enrichment of the content. (3) remember to layer for shape layers opacity to 100%!

  

  (3) then we will turn this building into recyclable items. Convert each content and layer to a smart object clipping mask. Then rename these layers of dynamic object into something sensible (honestly, I forgot to label the layers well earlier, but you catch my meaning here ;-)

  

  Fact! To clone each building, duplicate layer groups. For each instance that you can move the content (which is handy if you share multiple charts of building in the same bitmap or illustrator file), or you can decide to move the mask in place. Or both. It is the same for the transformation. Your choice. To move or transform a building, select the layer group.

  To change or modify the masks or the contents, double-click the smart object of your choice and make a few changes.

  Also, remember that you can insert additional elements in a clipping group by placing it over the first layer and then clipped by clicking again on the border between them. So, in theory, you could start building different looking buildings by adding other dynamic objects in clipping groups. The sky is the limit! In this way, you can create several building blocks to build various buildings with different looks. And still limit the number of blocks - and any update-able.

  Unfortunately, that's when the workflow breaks down a bit: due to the implementation of the object dynamic in Photoshop, you can't change the mask or the contents of the building in context - instead, it opens in its own window of file. This can be somewhat mitigated by placing the two windows side by side (window-> fix--> double vertical installation).

  This brings us to the second caveat: when you make a change, the changes are not updated in real time in the master document. You must first save it. Still a bit of a flow of work, but when same breaker... At least you now have a workflow not destructive instantiated.

  The content of the dynamic object can be replaced easily with a right-click of the mouse on the smart object layer itself. Or use a dynamic object referenced externally instead if you prefer to generate your buildings in an external application.

  BTW, the layer of Photoline system is much more logical and easier to use for this type of work. Layer masks behave like regular diapers. Layers, groups, masks, layers of external file and so forth can be practically cloned and instantiated as smart objects, but the main object is editable in the context, and all the other instances updated in real time. So, it is more convenient. At least this is my experience.

  I hope this has been helpful! Now go build your cities. :-)

  PS: I thought: isn't Illustrator or InDesign is a much more logical choice for this type of work where you need access to reusable blocks of content? It would also be a more efficient workflow and faster - Photoshop is not really designed for this type of work. Illustrator and InDesign provide potentially out of better quality. You can also divide your work into the pages and so on. Here again, you would probably lose the flexibility of smart objects.

• Problems with the creation of a mask in AE 4.1

  Hi all

  Yes, I use after effects 4.1... not CS4... This is the version 4.1 13 years ago.

  I'm having a problem creating a simple mask and I see a more current AECS5 tutorial create a mask on a layer like to create one in AE4 based on a comparison with an old AE4 tutorial.  I have read the material and it seems pretty simple, but for some reason that its does not work for me... I know I'm doing something wrong.  I am an advanced user of Photoshop and I know that the concept of layer masks and how to create them.

  I create the mask on a layer, and I can see and adjust the points of Bézier to adjust the shape of the mask... to adjust the shape of the mask by Bézier points is a little tricky because it extends in both directions when you take one point, but it is correct,

  But any mask mode I try, Add, Subtract, Intersect, lighten, darken or difference, it does not hide the layer to which it is attached to the same when I preview the timeline.

  I don't want to just create a new layer on top of the layer color I want hidden to simulate a mask (which I can do otherwise) because I want the stack of layers with masks and have the parts exposed showing through (as in Photoshop), without rendering different layers and re-import them with blue or black projection projection... I should just be able to hide parts that I don't want to appear on each layer and only have parts unmasked each layer show by the other for my final rendering.

  Thank you for any input,

  Digi

  Oh, now I get it!  Because of the effect that you are using, the mask is ineffective.  You know about the caches?  Use a solid as a track matte for the layer of the digital clock to hide unwanted numbers.

• Lightroom 3 calls for 6.5 ACR. Photoshop indicates its updates already, but its version (6.4.1.145

  Using PC / Windows 7.

  In Lightroom 3.4 (64-bit) or anything that is later, editing a CR2 file - I right click on the image - select EDIT in PHOTOSHOP (CS5 64-bit), but the error I get is said so that Lightroom work properly Camera Raw 6.5 update by going to the updates in the Help menu of Photoshop.

  The buttons in the window are rendered to Lighroom and then I think that it says go to Photoshop or good - (my LR is frozen right now, so I don't remember xctly that the buttons were)

  So, I click OK and open even when in PS and check what version of ACR and its 6.4.1.145... , I click on updates, and it says NO UPDATES AVAILABLE.

  I downloaded ACR 6.5 and get the error attached - we tried several times to get cab updated in PS but it always says NO AVAILABLE UPDATES

  I am able to edit the image in PS and it records and reopens in LR very well - I don't know how can I update the ACR to 6.5 or why LR says I need 6.5 when Photoshop says I'm up-to-date on everything already, but I have that 6.4.1.145.

  Can anyone help? Please?

  Make sure that you use LR 3.4.1 and not 3.5 RC on Adobe Labs? 3.4.1 LR will work with ACR 6.4.1 without busting a mistake. LR 3.5 appears the error asking for 6.5 of ACR.

Anyone know if this is possible and what will be the registry key that I need to create/change in order to achieve this? Thank you!

  Maybe the DisallowOpenGLWindows_ON_D.reg from here will work.

  11.0 is photoshop cs4
