Hi Willem,

I had the same thing and just decided not to mess around too much and updated the apps from the standalone. Maybe there's a quicker way but at least it works (and updating doesn't take so much time

Cheers,

Hi, As a newbie to LR, please could you tell me what this 'register fix' is.

Thanks, Gill

Welcome to the forums, Gill

The "Registry Fix" only work on Windows, as a Mac does not have a registry.

The workaround for Macs is to download the trial version of Photoshop CS5 and install it. You don't have to run it, it allows the external edits by just being installed.

As others have noted, a possible workaround to use until then is to install the trial version of Photoshop CS5 from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/. I realize this is a bit heavy but if you need a faster solution this might be an option for you.

I can't edit photographs in external software. Silver Efecs Pro and other software programmes are useless at the moment. I understand that Adobe are very aware of this, and other bugs and are working on a fix so we will need to await the 4.1 update. I've tried all the suggested work-arounds to no avail and I don't intend downloading any other Adobe software as suggested, to get it working for the short term so I'll just have await the fix and hope that it works.

It might be worthwhile to note that this is one of the Adobe recognized "Hot Issues"

For not so computer savvy Windows users, I've uploaded the file PhotoshopCS5.reg for download. To use it, download it to your desktop, double click it and when it asks if you trust the source, click "yes" (possibly several times).
