Title: Edit in Photoshop with Lightroom adjustments
Post by: once2work on February 25, 2012, 07:25:38 am

When I right-click on the LR4 photo after adjustment should come out a window ask "Edit in Photoshop with Lightroom adjustments". But in my LR4 beta don't ask and go straight into my PS CS5 with a photo of none of any adjustment I did adjusted in LR.

Would anyone can tell me whats go wrong, must my setting is not correct.

Thank you so much.

Paul

Nothing is wrong. It will work as expected with CS6. At this point, however, LR4 is one generation ahead of CS5 and its current development engine is not compatible with Adobe Camera Raw in CS5.

I believe that there is a "don't show this again" checkbox that, if checked, acts like a preference. I've used mine to always render in LR.

The challenge is that the LR4 Beta's 2012 processing engine doesn't (yet) have an ACR equivalent.  There is a workaround for it:

You’ll have to export (using LR4’s engine) before moving the image into Photoshop since “Edit in Photoshop” uses the current version of ACR to do the renderings with this command. Since LR4 is newer than the version of ACR you have, it can’t do this. You’d see a similar issue if you were working with say LR4 and Photoshop CS3. The two are out of sync. So Edit in Photoshop can’t be fully supported (the ACR version doesn’t have the same functionality as the LR version).

Well, actually, you don't have to "Export", but you do need to have LR4 render the image...

When you Edit in Photoshop command, you should see this dialog:

Select the 'Render using Lightroom' option.

If you selected a different option and checked the Don't show again option, then you'll need to reset your dialogs in the LR Preferences, General, Reset all warning dialogs.
