LR & Photoshop Glitch
Jan 18, 2014 10:09:44 #
I've been using Lightroom 5 in combination with Photoshop CS5 for about 9 months and have recently experienced a problem. Previously when finishing pp work on a photo in LR and moving it to CS5 for further work by selecting "edit in CS5" I would get an option that allowed me to retain the LR edits and it arrived in CS5 with the LR edits intact. Now, however, when I use the same procedure it arrives in CS5 in its original state - no LR edits preserved. If anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.

Are you getting this box? Are settings greyed out?

No. That's the box I WAS getting until recently. Now it doesn't come up at all.

Not sure if this affects you or not but, the current LR5 ACR engine is not compatible with CS5 ACR. CS6 or CC is required to seamlessly carry RAW edits from LR to Photoshop. You might edit your LR Preferences to "Reset all Warning Dialogs" in case you may be missing a warning message of some type.

compatibility between ACR is not the problem. When "Edit In" is invoked, the files are transferred as psd, tiff or jpg.
I "Edit in" to PS CC, PS CS2, PS7 plus a host of other software which does not contain ACR.
I agree with about resetting Warning dialogues but I think that the poster needs to reset the "Edit in" preferences. My guess is that CS5 is no longer a pre-set.

When the system was working correctly, was there more than one program you could "Edit in"?
Go to Edit > Preferences > External Editing
At the top of this dialogue it reads "Edit in ..."
What words follow the "Edit in"?

I'm unable to find an option in the preferences menu to "reset all warning dialigs." Is that imbedded in another submenu?

It says: Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5

I am interested to hear more on this since I'm experiencing the same issue using LR5 and PS CC. Have you asked Adobe?

Should be here in Edit > Preferences

I think that your preference pre-sets have been corrupted and the cure is to rebuild.
If you have created loads of pre-sets, this rebuild can be a bit of a nuisance, but if you are working without pre-sets, it is not so much of a problem.
Here is a link to the instructions which also tells about the ramifications of the rebuild. Read it carefully, and follow it without taking shortcuts.

If you decide against the rebuild there is another way, that is to create a new pre-set for the Edit in . . . If you would rather try this and don't know how, let me know and I will take you through it.

I'm working my way down the suggestions received - busy day with little computer time. I went to that screen and the "reset all warning dialogs" is grayed out - not active.

I'm experiencing the same problem...have reset all warnings and problem persists. This may have to do with recent update to ACR since it seems like a new problem for me. Will try to check with Adobe.

Did some further investigation on this....the problem only exists when trying to Edit a non-raw image with the Edit In function LR5. When using Edit In with a Tiff file I get the dialogue box I used to always get asking what type of copy I want edited in PS.
This suggests to me that the problem lies with a mismatch between LR and ACR since I believe that ACR is used by LR in editing a raw file in PS.
Any comments or thoughts?

Thoughts yes, comments not yet.
The image shown is a result of me right clicking on an image in the Library. When you select "Edit in", do you always get the side menu - with Photoshop cc as first item?
