Exporting photo from smart photo editor to lightroom catalogue?

I know how to export a photo from lightroom to a program called smart photo editor,but am not sure how to save it back to the same lightrm folder where the image originated from. in lightroom preferences i set up smart photo editor as a secondary editing program etc. Do you know what the procedures would be? Thanks!!

Lightroom will render an export copy so after you finish editing in the external editor you need to save (usually Ctr+S) in most software and then close the file (usually Ctrl+W) in Smart Photo. That will save the file back to the Lightroom liobrary.
Don’t make the mistake of using Save AS which will create a new file which Lightroom knows nothing about.

Exporting photos edited in Lightroom

Hi,
I have made substantial editing to a photo in Lightroom. However, I do not know how to export the photo with all the edits. I know Lightroom saves the changes in sidecar files, however I do not know how to take a photo edited in Lightroom and export it (with editing) to another location.
Cheers,
reuelb

Errrrr... File/Export (ctrl-shift-E) does that, doesn't it?

Why do my saved / exported photos out of Lightroom have a little red dot on them?

My edited photos in Lightroom look great. But once I export them and take a look with another program (Photo Mechanic or Previewer), I see a little red dot on the photos.
I have the latest version of Lightroom downloaded (5.7) and have tried restarting the program and re-exporting the photos but no dice.
After further investigation via Google, I think this red dot is a "hot pixel" as it is showing up in every photo in the same spot. Apparently this is caused by my camera sensor but I'm confused by this as my RAW files do not show the red dot, only when the photos have been converted to JPGs can you see it. Stumped.

Please show us a screen capture.

Export versions from smart album

Aperture 1.5.6 on Mac OS X 10.4.11
I have collected all my portraits from various jobs, and I would like to export all the portraits, but I cannot. ... I have even selected a single image from my Smart Portraits Album, and tried to export the single image. ... Nothing happens, really! Nothing happens. Aperture says that is "Verifying Files all the way up to 100%" ... Then nothing. ... Eventually the Beach Ball quits spinning, but nothing has happened regarding my assigned task.
It seems like I should be able to select the images in a smart album. (I can do that.)
And then choose an operation I wish to perform, like export versions, (I can do that too.)
And Aperture should do just what I asked. ... (No such luck for the export versions)

I believe the Verifying Images step is performed if any are referenced. It's trying to access files that are one other volumes, so it could be getting hung up on that step.
Try the same operation on images you know are managed and see if you get the same problem.

Do I need to export photos from Lightroom 4 before placing in InDesign CS6?

I'm doing a print photo book layout in InDesign using photos that I am processing in Lightroom 4 & Photoshop CS6. My question is, do I need to "File > Export" the files from Lightroom before placing them into InDesign? Or are the Lightroom final changes I make embedded in the .tif file?

Unless I'm mistaken, even tiffs and jpegs need to be exported if you want changes made in Lightroom to show up in InDesign.
If said rendered image also had Develop edits yes, they would need to be re-rendered. A rendered asset in LR, no.

I updated my computer to 10.10.1 and now my photoshop isn't in my applications folder anymore. Even when I try to export photos from Lightroom, PS isn't even an option anymore. Not sure where it went or how to get it back! Thanks!

Using 6-7 year old software that's no longer receiving updates & was never designed to run on 10.10 is asking for trouble. That said, try re-installing PS and installing Java SE6
Java for OS X 2014-001
It might work. But again it might not.
Good luck!

Exporting photos and metadat from iPhoto '09 to Lightroom 3

After several years managing 110K+ photos and movies in iPhoto, I am reluctantly considering moving to Adobe Lightroom. I paid $200 for Aperture, but the most recent releases of both Aperture and iPhoto are so buggy that I'm not upgrading. I was very sad to reach this conclusion.
I am seriously considering moving to Adobe Lightroom for its power, stability, and availability on much cheaper PC hardware. Does anyone know of a way to export everything I've done in iPhoto (including hundreds of hours of tagging and photo editing) to Lightroom? I've spent a couple of hours reading forums and haven't seen anything (instructions or app) that will do the job.
I really wish Apple had nailed Aperture since I'm now needing it's photo editing power together with iPhoto's excellent organization capabilities. This was the promise of Aperture 3. Now I just feel dumb for spending the $200 (since the app is both buggy and available for $80 in the app store).
I would deeply appreciate any advice on the transition to Lightroom 3 from iPhoto '09... and I will always be an Apple fan.

Terence,
You rock for posting such a quick reply so late at night. Thank you!
I forgot about those checkboxes. Excellent point. Thanks for the description heads up. I'm fine losing the faces info (esp. since LR3 doesn't offer it as you said). It's the keywords and titles that I've spent 100's of hours on
Have you tried importing to LR with exported metadata? Did it work end to end for you? I'll check out iPhoto to Disk in depth.
I would like to keep my originals and the modified versions. Do you know of any way to avoid doubling the item count in my library to nearly a quarter of a million? I am hoping to avoid having an original and modified version of each file. I actually suffered that once through an iPhoto issue a couple of years ago and hope not to repeat.
To add more context to my Aperture and iPhoto '11 comments, the iPhoto '11 comments are purely a reflection of what I've read in hours of forum reading and not my direct experience. On Aperture, my experiences are actually limited -- focusing solely on importing a huge iPhoto library to Aperture. I spent tens of hours over several weeks trying to migrate and simply failed. The memory leaks got me time and again, no matter how I reconfigured the import (for example by splitting 110K photos into approx 50 individual imports). I should've called out that once (partially) imported, everything seemed to be faster and smoother in Aperture than in iPhoto. Thanks for the call out.

Exporting photos from Lightroom that are good enough quality for a photography website.

I am doing a website for a photographer client that need to showcase their images in a rotating gallery that will be about 1/2 the page so pretty big. She gave me all the photos in FULL size which meant that they were excellent quality and looked amazing on my computer at home as I have fast internet and they all loaded up in seconds. Only problem, when I tried it on a different internet source that wasn’t as speedy, they took so long to load that the next one would start, hence no images ever being visible. This is not good as not everyone will have as fast internet as me and it’s pointless if no one can see her work.
She then exported them for web, using the normal settings that she usually would, leaving them around 200-600KB which loads up nice and quickly, but the quality just don’t do the photo’s justice AT ALL!
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions of the setting to use to export them from lightroom so that the quality is still next to perfect, but they are small enough so that they load up in a reasonable time on the web.
Each photo displays for 5 full seconds before alternating.
Thank you in advance and if you have any further suggestions, I would love to hear them.

You need to use export settings similar to this:
Quality setting should be at least 60, but you can sometimes get away with less. (smaller file size)
But if you need to export a lot of images, do them all at 60, and re-export as necessary. If you for instance see blockiness in a clear blue sky, increase quality until it goes away.
Color space must be set to sRGB.
Set the required size in pixels, using Long edge is quite convenient. Whatever you enter in the resolution box doesn't matter - web browser ignore ppi.
Experiment with Screen sharpening to find the setting that works best. Standard usually works OK, but it depends on the sharpness of the original.
Set Metadata to Copyright Only, this keeps file size down.

Can I export photos from iphoto to lightroom?

can I export photos from iphoto to lightroom?

Not very knowledgeable on iPhoto are we?
The problem with iPhoto is it copies and or moves all your photo into it's database structure which is just a pain
It moves nothing. It can copy, or reference the images.
Even Picasa is better then iPhoto as it actually displays RAW images.
As Keith says, iPhoto work with every format that the OS supports - in other words all the same ones as Aperture.
iPhoto doesn't even support Adobe DNG format.
Going for 0/3 ?
As for migrating from iPhoto to Lightroom: Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.

Photo Stream does not sync when I export pics from Lightroom to Uploads folder.

I am using a PC. When I export pics from Adobe Lightroom to the "Uploads" folder iCloud does not sync with my phone. If I export pics from Adobe Lightroom to any other folder and then move them to the "Uploads" folder everything works like it should. Is this an iCloud glitch or is this me? Thanks in advance.

Updating PhotoStream automatically after making changes to pictures in Aperture is something I'd be interested in as well. As far as I know, this can't be done right now. Has anybody come up with a work around for the moment?
Thanks!

Exporting photos from Aperture to a windows OS and Lightroom

I exported several jpg files with exif and some IPTC data, including my name, in the Creator field. I am using OS 10.6.8. When Lightroom, operating in a Windows environment, attempts to import the files, there are undesired quote marks on the Creator name. Everything else looks good. What's going on, and is there something I can do to eliminate the quote marks?

In Aperture select the images you want to export in the Browser,
then select File > Export > Versions from the main menu bar.
In the Export panel select an Export prset with the pixel size and file format you want, and use the file chooser to direct the exported files to a folder on the external drive.

Exporting photos to Lightroom

Why does iphoto 11 (using external editor option) export and open my photos in LIghtroom 4 after I upgraded to LIghtroom 5?

I am still a bit confused as to why iphoto gives you the option to edit in iphoto or use another application for external editing.
iPhoto is a database. It can't work on any image that's not imported to the database. If you want to use an image from iPhoto somewhere else, you have to export it.
Lightroom is a database. It can't work on any image that's not imported to the database. If you want to use an image from LIghtroom somewhere else, you have to export it.
These two apps live at exactly the same point in the workflow. In essence, they do the same job.
Neither application is an editor - in other words, neither application will edit a file. If you work on an image in either app the original file is not touched - it's always preserved - and to get your edited image you have to export it.
The external editor command in iPhoto (and indeed in LR) is designed for use with a app that actually edits the file. Photoshop, Acorn, Pixelmator, Graphic Converter, etc etc are examples of such apps. There's no database. They directly change the file.
So, when you use an external editor wth iPhoto here's what happens:
iPhoto makes a copy of the original and sends it to the editor. The editor edits and saves, and the edited image comes back to iPhoto. So you have the original preserved and the edited version.
If you send the image to another Manager, like LIghtroom, here's what happens: iPhoto makes a copy of the original and sends it to Lightroom. LIghtroom imports it. As you edit in LR the original is preserved and your decisions are recorded in the LR database. (Just like editing a photo in iPhoto). And then... well then there's no way back to iPhoto withou exporting from LR to the FInder and importing the resulting image, which then has no connection to the Original in iPhoto. You now have to copies of the original, one in each app.
So, there is no good way to use LR as an editor with iPhoto (nor, indeed, vice versa).

How to export photos from iPhoto Library to normal folders?

Hi,
I have been using iPhoto for a long time now, and I have many many thousands of photos well organised with albums and folders in my iPhoto library. However I find some things difficult and inefficient to do in iPhoto and I'm trying to move into other softwares like Photo Mechanics and Lightroom.
One of these things I find hard to do is to backup, I don't want to keep something like three libraries and import from camera into one library and do the same to the other two, switching external drives and computers. Nor do I want to copy a 250GB library once every couple of days, since it takes a while with non-SSD drives. Is there a more effective way to do this?
In the iPhoto "package contents" all my photos are organised by date, which is not really great since I have albums in my library filled with photos from all around my library organised in folders, if that made any sense. Is there a way to export my iPhoto library keeping all my folders and albums intact (also ratings)? Like folders containing photos within folders with the names that were used inside iPhoto? I've already tried using the normal export tool, it doesn't work since it goes by dates or "events".
I have tried the "iPhoto to Disk" software, but I'm curious if there is a better way? Will it be easier to do this in Aperture?
Thanks in advance

export using the option for "subfolder format" - Exporting From iPhoto
Backing up - simplest use TimeMachine - or software like Carbon Copy Cloner that can update only the new portions of the iPhoto library
As to "better than iPhoto to disk" - it is a rest program - what is it that you want to do "better"
And for Aperture questions you will get better answers in the Aperture forum as that is where Aperture uses hang out
And with regards to going into the iPhoto library package contents - don't - it is not supported and is very dangerous - a small mistake there can wipe out your library - there never is a reason to be in it unless instructed by an expert - there simply are no user serviceable parts in it

Hi When going from Develop module to print module a white boarder appears on screen which also prints via my epson r3000 printer. I can get round this by exporting photo to Elements and printing from there but can i get rid of the boarder and print from lightroom?

In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.
