Comments on: New Plugin Brings Lightroom and Photoshop Elements Together At Last http://thephotogeek.com/elemental-lightroom-photoshop-elements-plugin/ Digital photography toys and techniques Mon, 26 Jul 2010 11:29:32 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Matt http://thephotogeek.com/elemental-lightroom-photoshop-elements-plugin/#comment-876 Matt Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:57:38 +0000 http://thephotogeek.com/elemental-lightroom-photoshop-elements-plugin/#comment-876 @Melissa, I have the Lightroom 3 beta running on my Win 7 machine and haven't tried Lightroom 2 on it yet. I've read that Lightroom 2 runs on Win 7, but you could always download the trial version to make sure you are happy it works OK. If you like living on the edge you could download the Lightroom 3 beta instead. No news yet on when the next (final?) release of that will be made available. @Melissa, I have the Lightroom 3 beta running on my Win 7 machine and haven’t tried Lightroom 2 on it yet.

That said it shouldn't appear twice during the execution of a single menu item selection. If you see this behaviour with the new version then please let me know the circumstances under which you experienced the error. The changes made in Lightroom should always transfer to PSE if you save the metadata first. If this is not working for you please let me know the Camera Raw version you are using and how you save the metadata (Cmd + S?). Please also make sure you don't already have the file open in PSE before saving the file because that could prevent the Lightroom changes from being saved to the file. @Rebecca, The save dialog will come up every time you use an Elemental menu item unless you check the “do not show again” option at the bottom left of the dialog.

I'm having a problem opening from lightroom2.0 to pse6 on a Mac. It tells me to save metadata for the file first. So I do and the save warning comes up again. I then open in pse6 and the changes I did in lightroom were not transfered to pse6. I have updated my lightroom and pse6 with the newest camera raw. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for new plug-in.

Of course, as I mentioned to you, I didn't do much troubleshooting as I'm so used to things not working quite right w/ 64bit apps that I didn't think much of it. Thanks again for working with me to get this sorted out! I sure wish paid products came with this kind of support ;) Thanks again Matt!! If you ever need any help testing anything in the future w/ 64bit, feel free to hit me up, I'm not normally this dense ;) Yep, definitely closed and working like a champ (in Lightroom 2 64bit w/ 32bit Elements 7 btw) :-) In my case, I simply missed the fact that Camera Raw installed for Lightroom automatically but didn’t install in Elements 7, which required that I download a separate package from Adobe and manually install it.

Turned out the issue was an older version of Camera Raw couldn't cope with your new camera's raw files. An upgrade of Camera Raw fixed the problem. I'm going to improve error handling and the Plugin Manager dialog to assist with upgrading Camera Raw when required. And the beer tasted great. Thanks! @Ian, Wanted to close out this comment thread.

Also, for what it's worth. I'm new to digital photography and just picked up my first DSLR. It's a T1i. Upon purchase, Lightroom 2 wouldn't recognize the raw files at all, I had to wait for an update which defined the camera. Don't know if this helps at all, but I suspect the problem may be related, especially if your plugin normally works with Canon raw files. Thanks again Matt! Enjoy the beer ;) Thanks!

I've sent you an email, and if you could please reply to that with your log file it would be helpful. Also what version of PSE are you using? And what file type were you trying to merge to panorama? @Ian, Sorry it isn’t working for you yet.
