Hi

Cant get an answer that works so I thought would give it one more shot hoping someone in this forum may know thank you

The following is the scenario -

I have Lightroom 3.6 and also had Elements 8 using mac

Also, I use NIK plugins

Problem is when I go to Photo mode and then Edit in I see the following (in the following order)

Edit in Photoshop - "greyed out"
Edit in dfine 2 - not greyed out and is fine

Elements 8 - Ok (even though I uninstalled it on my computer to try to fix the problem it still shows up after rebooting the mac)
Open in smart object in photoshop - "greyed out"
Merged in Panorama - "greyed out"
Merge on HDR in Photoshop "greyed out"
open as layers in Photoshop "greyed out"

So I uninstalled Photoshop Elements 8 to fix didnt work, reinstalled lightroom didnt work and elements still shows up in lightroom yet I uninstalled it using the uninstall in utilities.

I would like to eliminate the greyed out items in lightroom and add my other Nik plugins show they show up automatically and reinstall elements 8

I would appreciate if anyone has ideas how to fix this

Thanks

Lou

if you still have not figured it out you will have to go into your registry and change the paths. I had the same problems until I went into my registry and changed the paths of both photoshop and NIK software. Especially if you changed directories. I'll check this again if you respond and show you how. It worked for me after that. Takes about 3 minutes and actually is really easy.
 
I'm not a mac guy so don't know if this applies to macs or not, but in the windows world you have 64bit and 32 bit software - PS/CS4 will install BOTH versions. Some plugins only work in 32 bit versions of CS.


LR as you add on upgrades can get slower - very noticeable with 4.0. "THE" fix is to copy your LR 'files' (the ones it reads upon startup to know what plug ins are installed, where things are, etc) to a backup and start LR and it will make a new set of files and you can manually update the plug ins and paths - I followed a step by step on this from adobe's website (google lr 4.2 running slow and you'll find it).

The Mac doesn't have a registry, and there is no such thing as "uninstall."

Do you have Photoshop on the computer? Try doing a Get Info (command-I) on a graphic file in the Finder and set it to Open With Photoshop as the default, does that work?
