I'm having trouble with a couple of the integration features on a mac pro running leopard.

The first problems is that when I edit something in photoshop CS4 from lightroom, the new version is not imported into the catalog. I have to refresh the folder to get it. (Yes, I discovered the work-around to set CS4 as another external editor. It just seems silly to have to do that)

The second problem is with doing a photomerge starting from lightroom. If the images are on the boot disk, everything seems to work OK. However, if the image files are on some other drive, photoshop does not seem able to access them. I do get the merge dialog inside photoshop with the proper file names but when I click ok, nothing happens.

Is there some magic configuration option somewhere that controls this stuff? I've tried re-installing photoshop to no avail.

Any help is appreciated.

Mmmmmm, welcome Geof, to help us help you could you please take a moment to fill in your signature with information similar to what I have, in the "userCP' that is found at the top left of the page - thanks.

It all works as expected for me with LR2.1/CS4 and 1'.4.11.
CS4 shows up as the primary editor.
Not sure what your problem will be, hopefully someone else will come along and sort you out !!

Hi Geof, welcome to the forum!

Those certainly are frustrating problems!

When you're saving the file in PS, are you saving back to the same location, another location, same filename, different filename?

The Merge one is definitely a mystery, but it sounds like a bug, so I'd suggest you report it. Official Feature Request/Bug Report Form Trying to get 2 programs to talk to each other is always a problem! You could try doing it just within PS with those same files, to narrow down whether it's a LR or PS issue.

When editing I save to the same location. The file ends up in the same folder as the original. If I do a synch folder, it find the new file.

I'll put in a bug report on the merge problem.

Guess I'll just use the workround for the other problem.
