OK,

So I downloaded and installed lightroom 2.0 this morning and things are not working well.

System: Macpro 2.8, 8 gb ram, os x 10.5.4, nikon d300 raw files

The problem...

It started with Lightroom not exporting any images to photoshop. Doesn't matter if I try to send 1 or 20, I get a spinning beach ball, then nothing. if photoshop is closed it will open it, but nothing gets loaded into it. Plain export, merge to panoramic, edit as smart object, nothing does anything.

Tried in both 32 and 64 bit modes, tried re-installing Lightroom 2.0 from scratch. still nothing. I sent a sample raw file into adobe and am waiting to hear back, but figured I'd see what everyone else thinks as well.

jj.pod - Are you on a Mac? can you try setting up Photoshop as the Edit In... app (in preferences) and see if that works? (brute force method might be to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop)

I also tried deleting preference files with no luck. Nothing I've tried has gotten a file to open in PS CS3.

What's interesting is CS3 opens ok - once file does not appear I close CS3 and 30secs? later the message

"file could not be edited because CS3 could not be launched"

Weird - it was launched but nothing came in

For DNGs containing raw images, you may need Camera Raw 4.5.

Have tried getting rid of preferences - can open TIF in CS3 but DNG will not open as either smart object or just edit in CS3. CS3 opens but file is not put inside.
