Does it happen every time you Edit With? And can you try repeating it, but using a new catalogue?

John


Yes, it appears it happens every time. I don't remember seeing this before a week ago, though. I tried it with a new catalog and the same thing occurs. I guess that rules out the catalog being corrupted?

It happens regardless of whether you're working on files on the laptop hard drive, or on the external hard drive, doesn't it? Is the external hard drive a USB one? I've heard some things about problems with LR on Mac and "colostomy bag" drives.

I can't believe this is the issue, but maybe delete Lightroom's Preferences file - in User / Library / Preferences. Then try again.

Yes, internal or external drive makes no difference. My external drive for these images is a USB type 500gb lacie porsche.

I deleted the preferences file, same issue occurs in both catalogs, both drives.

I've asked around and none of my contacts has seen this before. One missing detail is the exact version of CS3 - is it 10.0.1?

What happens when you do the following editing routine? Do a File > Export targeting a folder that's already shown in Lightroom, choose 16 bit TIF, and in the Export Actions choose Open in Photoshop CS3. After editing in CS3, save, and then do a sync back in Lightroom.

A similar routine is to tick Add to this Catalog in the Export Dialog box. Again, what happens?
