i have been searching an answer for this without avail: during a developing session in lightroom, if i wish to make additional changes in CS5, i tried to use the “edit in” option and picked “open as smart object in ps”..i make few alterations..and i get the “saving as smart object” message in ps..i quit ps…no changes in lightroom…if i save a copy in cs5 before quitting, a new file appears in lightroom…but this is hardly different than any conventional method.
is there a way to migrate the changes made in cs5 as a “set of instructions” to lightroom????.i don!t want to end up with additional tiff files..i thought these programs were speaking to each other, what is it that i am doing wrong here? thank you…

Dear Angel Brown,

You need to update your copy of Lightroom so that the Camera Raw codebase knows what to do with the files from you new camera. Please read this article for more information.

Congratulations on the new camera!

I just got a D300s (replaced my D200) and I uploaded the Nikon Software suite. I always use Lightroom and shoot in RAW but with my new camera lightroom is telling me the images can’t be imported becasue the files appear to be upsupported or damaged. help! how do I get my D300s Raw files into Lightroom? I unfortunatly already cleared this perticular set of pics off my CF card. Thanks

Hi! I use Nikon D300 and shoot .NEF raw files. Once I go ahead and develop my photos and they are edited non-destructively my edits are ok when I come back to Lighroom. What would happen if I have to reinstall Lightroom or Windows for that matter. What do I do to save all the edits I made? I guess the same goes for all the cataloging I do with my images. Anyone?

Lightroom has really changed how most of us work. Our workflow has become simpler. I barely have to open up Photoshop now.

[...] Unlike its more powerful (and more complicated) companion, Photoshop, each change made to an image in Lightroom is only stored as a small set of instructions. These instructions tell Lightroom how to show the image to us when we are viewing it (that’s why the edits we make in Lightroom are visible to us) and how to process it when we export it for some external use (further editing in Photoshop, printing, emailing to a friend, posting on a web gallery, etc.). For more information on non-destructive editing, please read David’s recent post on Understanding Lightroom’s Nondestructive Image Enhancement System. [...]
