If you make changes in the Develop module in the LIghtroom 4 Beta and then choose to edit that image in Photoshop you will want Lightroom 4 Beta to render the PSD/TIFF file, not Photoshop. In order to do this, first choose Preferences > General and click the “Reset all warnings dialogs” button. Then, choose Photo > Edit In > Edit in Photoshop. A warning should appear: “This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 7 for full compatibility”. Since LR 4 is in beta, this version of ACR is not available for Photoshop so choose the “Render using Lightroom” option. Now LR4 Beta will render the file and hand it off to Photoshop with all of the changes you have made in LR4 Beta.

    The Reset all warnings dialogs button is grayed out.

      When you try to “Edit in Photoshop” from LR4 Beta do you get the dialog box to choose an option?

    Yep; every time. So it’s not really a big problem.

    Sorry for the confusion. I directed customers to reset the “warning” preference in case they had previously turned it off – because if they’ve turned it off, then obviously they won’t see the warning. Thanks.

    I guess that’s why it’s a beta? not yet downloaded it but have heard it is a little memory hungry and feels more like an update than a whole new version, would you agree or are there some real gems to be had?

    There are some real gems to be had – here is a list of getting what’s new:

    In the book module, it would be really, really helpful if:
    1) there were templates with the aspect ratio of 3:2 which most DSLR’s use.
    2) if the templates would let you change the aspect ratio as you may want to crop to something other than the DSLR native aspect ratio.

    With those changes I think I would love the book module!!!

      Thanks for your feedback Fritz. If it’s possible, I would really appreciate if you would post your suggestions on the Beta forum so that the product team and engineers could see them! http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/lightroom4/ Thanks again, julieanne

    Hi,

    Ideally, following dpbestflow.org’s recommendations, I would like to split the raw file structure with the derivatives file structure. Can I now tell lightroom to use a subdirectory when it exports to “Edit in Photoshop”?

    regards,
    katja

    Thanks for the clarification, Julieanne. Does this mean that when LR4 does finally launch, that ACR will be updating to mimic the new Develop sliders, or will it be keeping Fill Light / Recovery / Brightness / et al

      I can’t talk about unannounced products but you can be assured that our teams are talking. Stay Tuned. ; )
