LR3 Tethered Shooting setting issue (image preview/loading)

Hello everyone, I've got a LR3 Tether issue I hope can be resolved with your help. I recently completed an on-location event portrait session with great turnout. The only issue was the resulting lines that had formed, at times 10+ clients.
My setup involved photographing the client, then having them review their photos immediately after to pick their choices. This was great until I had a line. LR3 in my setup automatically loads the most recent picture taken. At one point I tried to shoot a client, and have an assistant review photos with the previous client. This was disastrous in that every time I clicked the shutter, the computer would go from whatever photo was being reviewed and load the most recent shot. After trying this with one client, I went back to shoot, review, shoot next. Everyone was given the experience I wanted to provide, I'd just like to make it a little faster/smoother in the future.
Question is: Can I change a setting in LR3 to stop the automatic loading/viewing of the most recent picture capture while tethered shooting?

I am having the exact same issue. I had to revert back to lightroom 2 (which dosnt do this when you place images in a collection) and use DIY photobits for tethered capture as I was getting that f@$king annoyed with this bug. I have looked at every setting and nothing seems obvious. Hopefully its not engrained in the software.
Im just about to send adobe an email or attempt to to find out if this was done to purposely piss people off.
And as for people who leave feedback saying "i dont know the answer" dont bother leaving feedback, it is completely pointless.
FogleBR if you find a solution to this problem then please contact me and likewise if i find a solution.
wurd.

LR3 Tethered Shooting glitch

I often shoot tethered to LR3 with two different Canon cameras and it works flawlessly. However, when I try to connect with a few Nikon cameras (that are on the LR Release Notes as compatible), the cameras can not be found. I’ve tried all the usual procedures (turning off and on the cameras, starting and stopping the Tethered Shooting in LR, closing and reopening LR). All to no avail. Canon Cameras are OK, Nikon can not be "found".
Any ideas on how to solve this?
My OS is Mac v10.6.8 and LR is v3.6.

I'm shooting with a Nikon D3 and am having the same trouble. Specifically, I'm getting the "No Camera Detected" message in the Lightroom tethered window.
All of my software is up to date. I'm running:
OSX 10.6.8
Lightroom 3.6
D3 USB set to MTP/PTP
Firmware version 2.02 (for A & B)
And no luck. Any suggestions?

Setting and holding White balance during tethered shooting

I came to Apeture from Capture One Pro. I used Capture when working for a photo studio, when I started shooting for myself I went with the much more affordable Apeture. I have been very happy with the workflow, but Apeture seems to be missing one of most basic settings for tethered shooting, setting and maintaining custom gray balance. I realize that I can shoot a frame with a gray card and white balance that frame, but the following frames revert to the pre-whitebalanced color settings. In Capture One, I would balance my first frame to a gray card, even add a manual tweek, and all subsequent frames would follow the new color settings. Perhaps there is a setting I have missed, some sort of automatic inheriting of the last frames adjustments. I realize that it is easy enough to adjust my color settings after the fact, but my color is off during shooting, and clients are not always able to envision the finished product. I really hope I'm missing something, because it's the most important feature to me for shooting tethered, right after the ability to shoot tethered.

It forces this yucky uber warm white balance. Just to make sure it was not shot that way, I then selected "as shot". It immediatly went to the color of the shoot and looks great.
When you select 'As Shot' do the Temp and Tint settings change? How about other settings, do any of them change? Just trying to determine what is actually causing the color change.
Did you try creating a new preset with the same settings, and see how it behaves when you uncheck White Balance? The original preset file may have been corrupted (i.e. damaged) and resaves are not fixing it. If this doesn't resolve the problem then it is likely a bug with tethered mode operation. Please let us know.

IStore Images Batch Load Issue

Hello All,
We have been working on setting up a Batch load for product images for our iStore and have run into an issue. First off, this is more of a batch association since we are using already existing items.
The issue we are having is that we are using APPS.IBE_LOGICALCONTENT_GRP.SAVE_DELETE_LGL_CTNT API to tie the images to the items. The process runs without error, but on inspection of the iStore page, the link to the image is bad causing no image to be displayed. Going through the iStore Admin and checking the Catalog / Content everything looks fine.
If I remove the association to the content for the item, apply the change, then re-associate the content and apply, everything works fine. So, it would appear that the content is not the issue. We will be loading 1000+ image associations, so having to manually fix each one is not a very good option.
After creating the Item - Content association, is there another API or something else that needs to be run so that the image correctly shows up on the iStore?
Thanks
Kyle

1. Did you try using save_logical_content API.
2. Did you verify the table IBE_DSP_OBJ_LGL_CTNT, IBE_DSP_LGL_PHYS_MAP. If data exists, Please send me an email to [email protected]

Can Preview adjust the color of a whole set of images?

After a bit of digging, I finally persuaded Preview to load a set of images (of pages from an old book).
When I try to print it, I find that the pages are basically black-on-dark-gray. Is there a simple way
to tell it to change the color balance to black-on-white, short of going through the images one at a
time and editing the color balance (which could take a lot of time). If not, is there some other tool
that will do a reasonable job of doing the obvious sort of "exposure" shift to make a set of images
of documents not waste a lot of toner painting the background gray?
(I'm not at all clear on what would be an appropriate forum for this question, so I'm probably
guessing wrong; could someone suggest a better one? ;-)

Hi John,
There are many options for making a gray object black. Here's a few:
1. Image > Adjustments > Levels... (move shadows pointer)
2. Image > Adjustments > Curves... (move shadow point)
3. Control click on your layer (makes selection) fill with black
4. Use you colour overlay effect layer choosing black as the overlay color

How to keep a copy of the image file on memory card when using tethered shooting with a Nikon D800?

I love tethered Shooting but as default (at least for Nikon) Lightroom does only save the file on the computer, not on the memory card.
Now I want to have a backup of the image file on the memory card additionally to downloading it. The tethering software digiCamControl can do this with my camera, so it is technically possible.
So how can I achieve this using Lightroom tethering?

Thanks. FWIW I'm very keen on improving tethering and lobbied Adobe endlessly until they added the overlay for shooting into layouts because it was a major reason why some of my clients were unable to switch to Lightroom from PhaseOne. But we have to be realistic and remember that tethering just isn't a key market for Adobe as it is for PhaseOne, so progress is painfully slow. For example, where is live view or setting exposure which are in PhaseOne? I'd be amazed if we get those features for a few versions, and that's why I point serious tethered shooters to other solutions. And realistically, assuming your understanding of the SDK is correct you shouldn't expect a change until the next full version of Lightroom. Good if it happens, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Exclamation (!) on images from a tethered shoot

I completed a tethered shoot last night, and today I noticed am exclamation point on two of my images (After my first edit, I have 217 images). When I click on the I get an error message about saving from the disk or catalogue-I have attached a screenshot of this error message.
Can anyone translate this message for me?
I'm on Mac running 10.6.8, Lightroom 3.6, and shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II. I literally just got my camera back from Canon, where it was being repaired for a dysfucntional port, so I am really hoping this is not an issue with my camera.
Thanks!

This message can appear if you are automatically applying metadata to the image upon import. Since the metadata has not been saved to the drive yet, it wants to know if you want to update the files on your drive or go back to the original metadata thats on the drive.
So import button if you want to go back to the original metadata or overwrite button to update the files on the drive.
Its a good habbit to get into is save the metadata back to the drive when you can, that will make sure any other app that reads the metadata is using the latest data and should anything go awry with your catalog, you will have less to do to restore that catalog.
The other time you will see this message is when you use another app like Adobe Bridge to update the metadata. This allows you the opportunity to update your catalog. That would be a time to import settings from disk.
I hope that helps.

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work.

Tethered Shooting in LR3

Where can I find a listing of the cameras LR3 supports for tethered shooting? Wondering if my Nikon D700 is supported.

I have a Nikon D80 and I am dying to do tethered shooting with Lightroom 3. Does anyone know when it is likely to become available for my camera and Mac OSX 10.6?
Is it a matter of Adobe making it available or of Nikon writing a driver?
I am aware of Sofortbild, and tried using it, but it interferes with the synchronization with my SB-600 flash.
Thanks

How to Set icon/image programatically in ADF before page loads

This is my UI:
Depends on the condition i want to set icon/image programatically in my java code.Before page load im calling this method.
So i couldnt take binding value also,it throws null pointer exception.Then i tried setting icon/image programatically.
<af:commandImageLink text="settings" icon="#{bean.iconsettings}" binding="#{bean.bind}"> </af:commandImageLink>
My bean:
private RichIcon iconsettings;(its getters and setters)
private void method(){                         // method
if(cond){
this.iconsettings="/images/20.jpg";   //trying to set icon in a string.but it throws me error that cannot set RichIcon to string.
else
this.iconsettings="/images/19.jpg";
Could any one tell me how can i set icon/image in java code.Before page loads im performing all above said tasks.Please help.

Well, you set the icon property to a bean method, which you have done. The bean method however need to have the signature
public String getIconsetting()
// your code returning hte path to the icon
if(cond){
     return ="/images/20.jpg";   //trying to set icon in a string.but it throws me error that cannot set RichIcon to string.
else {
     return ="/images/19.jpg";
The bindproperty is not needed, remove it and remove the RichIcon Iconsettings too´as it's not needed to and is the wrong type anyway.

Application designer issue - Cannot display image preview

Hi guys,
When I attempt to use an image icon as the label for a pushbutton,
I receive this message in App Designer:
"Cannot display image preview.
The ImgDisplay ActiveX control may not be properly registered. Use the
Install Workstation functionality of Configuration Manager to register this control"
Anyone has the same experience on it ?
Thanks in advance.

What OS is your workstation running on?
Which PeopleTools version are you running?
Are your an administrator on the workstation?
Did you try Install Workstation from Configuration Manager as stated in the error?

Specific Problem with Library Module 1:1 Preview Loading

Hi everyone. I've spent hours searching Google & forums for specific tips to try but I've found nothing that solved my problem. I have a very specific problem loading 1:1 previews in Lightroom 3.3 while zoomed to 1:1.
When I initially import a shoot (usually 3000 to 6000 images), I always render 1:1 previews during import. My understanding is that this activity writes full-sized previews to the "Previews" folder, but I also have observed that .DAT files are created in the "Camera Raw Cache" folder. I have my Lightroom Previews folder and my Adobe Camera Raw Cache folder on the **same** solid-state hard disk, which is dedicated to Lightroom.
When I browse these newly-imported images in the Library module in Loupe view at 1:1 zoom, it's very zippy and fast to switch between images. The images load without any message at a lower resolution, and then "snap" to full resolution after 0.25 to 0.5 seconds. No "Loading" message appears.
However, once the previews have "sat around for a while", even if they are still supposedly available in the Previews folder, loading the image at 1:1 in Loupe as described takes 3-5 seconds. Shortly after going to an image, the message "Loading..." is displayed (it doesn't say where from), and 3-5 seconds later, the full res image appears.
This has nothing to do with changes to image settings requiring re-rendering of the preview. These are images that I've imported but haven't browsed in a while. I know that the previews are valid, because I can go to "Library > Previews > Render 1:1 Previews", and the task will complete within 20 or 30 seconds without re-rendering any photos after examining them and apparently finding that there are still valid 1:1 previews for all 4000 of them. After doing this "re-render," the slow loading behavior is the same as before, because the re-render process always completes without actually updating the previews that it found are already there and presumably decided were still valid. Discarding previews by "Library > Previews > Discard 1:1 Previews" and then trying to re-render them also does nothing, because LR3 apparently doesn't immediately delete the discarded previews, so they are picked back up again As-Is by the re-rendering process.
If I had to guess at the reason for this behavior based on the symptoms, I would say that it seems like Lightroom is forcing itself to re-render 1:1 previews upon browsing to images that are older than a certain age (very possibly the same "30 days" after which the 1:1 previews are supposed to be discarded).
Now, I've also observed that deleting the DAT files in the Camera Raw Cache folder has no adverse impact on load speed (which is what I would have expected to see if LR3 was looking for and loading images from this cache instead of the Previews folder).
What this means to me is that once the image previews reach this "outdated" state, I can't get fast 1:1 browsing performance in Loupe with any reliable procedure other than manually deleting [in Windows Explorer] the entire Preview folder and then re-rendering the 1:1 previews for this shoot. This is of course terribly inconvenient when there are recent previews that I want to save.
Note: I do not have any slowness under any circumstance when browsing at "Zoom to Fit". This is only a problem when I'm browsing at 1:1 zoom (like when I'm comparing sharpness between a set of photos).
Note: For images with the slow behavior described, once the image has been loaded once at 1:1 zoom, it's henceforth snappy again when returning to the image (as if Lightroom was once again accepting the Preview file as valid).
So, here's a summary:
Previews (X:\Lightroom Catalog Previews\) and Camera Raw Cache (X:\Lightroom Cache\) are on same, dedicated, fast drive
1:1 previews from recently-imported files load full-res at 1:1 zoom in less than 1/2 second.
Older 1:1 previews take 3-5 seconds to load full-res at 1:1 zoom, even though the previews are supposedly being loaded from still-valid 1:1 previews in the Previews folder.
I'm really tired, so i hope this makes sense. I don't see how this could be a hardware problem, because I get good performance with recently-imported images. I'm running LR3.3 on Win 7 Pro x64 with 8 GB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz Intel Core2 Quad CPU. Never had LR3 beta installed - upgraded to 3.0 from the last 2.X version. After upgrading, in response to this exact issue, I deleted my entire previews folder and rebuilt, but I continue to have the exact same problem on every shoot that I import. It's most noticeable on the large shoots, because I end up having to browse at 1:1 zoom to compare a set of similar images.
Only workaround I've found: in Windows Explorer, manually delete the Previews folder. Return to Lightroom and rebuild 1:1 previews. This forces the previews to be rebuilt for all images.
Another possible workaround I am going to experiment with: setting the Previews to "Do Not Discard", in case the defualt "Discard after 30 days" that I've used is causing or contributing to the problem. If Lightroom is actually discarding the images after 30 days but forgetting that it had discarded them when asked to re-render 1:1's, maybe setting to "Do not discard" will bandage that problem by never discarding them to begin with.
All right, I'm falling asleep at the keyboard. I'm afraid to add more details as they may become incoherent. Hope to hear some good news, as fixing this problem would make my LR3 experience so much more pleasant.
Can anyone assist with this problem?

The behaviour after previews have been around for a while (i.e. previews for unedited images) is not normal. There have been a few other reports of similar behaviour, but no real clues as to why it happens.
Yes - this is my problem. Previews should still be valid, and "Library > Previews > Render 1:1 Previews" says the images are still valid, but then Loupe rebuilds them anyways.

Ian Lyons wrote:
If everything was working correctly, the setting for discard shouldn't have any effect on whether the previews go stale or not. ...
My understanding is that if everything were working as intended, the "setting for discard" that I was referring to (Edit > Catalog Settings > File Handling > "Automatically Discard 1:1 Previews") should be the sole determinant of whether 1:1 previews must be rebuilt for images with unmodified settings.
For example, if I import an image and render a 1:1 preview, and if I set the "Auto Discard 1:1" setting to "30 Days", and if I make no changes to the image's settings, then I would expect that the image should render quickly (under 1/2 second) at 1:1 zoom in Loupe view for the next 30 days. On the 31st day, I would expect the image to take longer to load as a new 1:1 preview was rendered and stored, and then I would expect this new preview to be retained for another 30 days.
I would furthermore expect that the 30-day counter would be reset every time the image was re-rendered (i.e. if I go into Develop and change something).
To a certain extent, this is functioning correctly on my system. When I go to one of these "problem images" that inexplicably load slowly, returning to them subsequently is quick. I think my problem is just, as Rob suggested, that some part of Lightroom's "brain" has wacky ideas about whether an up-to-date 1:1 preview exists or not.
If I choose to "Never" automatically discard 1:1 previews (which is what I just switched to), then I should "Never" see unmodified images taking 3-5 seconds to "Load" at 1:1 zoom in Loupe.
Since I just nuked my Previews folder again last night and re-rendered 1:1's overnight for a 3000 image shoot, it might be a while before I start encountering this bug again. I will certainly post any further related experiences here and will keep checking for anyone who has further insight.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will upgrade to 3.4RC - at least then I will be able to force a rebuild of previews from one shoot without having to manually delete the previews for my entire catalog. I'll no longer have to throw out all the food in the refrigerator just because something smells funny.

The DAT files are created at the same time as Library previews. However, they are only used in Develop module.
Yes, I definitely agree with this (although, the Cache is probably also used while rendering new previews after "Quick Develop" changes in the Library module....). I posted my observations to this effect just in case someone else wondered the same thing I did. It is clear that the DAT files get written every time a preview is rendered for RAW file. Rob, now that I'm thinking with a clearer mind, I think the only thing these Cached files are used for is if you "return" to recently rendered settings in Develop or Quick Develop - then, that particular combination of settings yields a match in the cache, and LR loads the image from the Cache into Previews and onto the screen. It is logical that the cache wouldn't help us when going to new settings, because the new settings would create a partially or completely different rendering than any other combination of settings. Adobe may be going to more advanced levels of "reusability" than this, but I'm sure this is the general state of things.
You may want to open back up write access to that Cache folder...
Thanks, Rob & Ian!
So, my question, or bug report, still remains for now - why am I biting into a bag of chips marked "Fresh" and finding them Stale? And why does it say "Paper Jam" when there is no paper jam?

Unable to save images from image preview or photoshop to network drive

Hello,
I have an issue when viewing an image file from image preview or photoshop and saving it to a mapped network drive. When trying to save it to the drive, I am met with the error "You don't have sufficient access privileges". However, I am able to save the image to my desktop THEN place it in my mapped network drive.
This has left me pretty puzzled. Has anyone else run into this issue? It was working fine a couple of months ago, and I thought it might correct itself. The issue remains at large. I am not sure why it would stop working, but still works if I click and drag files to it.

Your assumption is correct.
The workflow is:
Select Image in Aperture for external editing.
Send Image to external editor via one version of Aperture's "Edit with NameOfExternalEditor" command.
Aperture creates a new Original based on the selected Image and opens specified external editor with the Original loaded.
You make changes to this file in the external editor.
You close this file and select "Save Changes" (or similar) when prompted.
You return to Aperture and find an Image based on the newly-created Original selected. This Image shows the changes you made in the external editor. It is badged with Aperture "Edited externally" badge.
Let's check a couple of things:
- Are you showing all Images in the Aperture Browser?
- Are there any externally-edited Images in the Project after you have completed editing in Photoshop?
For the first, clear any filter you have set for the Browser by clicking the dark-on-light drop-down magnifying glass icon _in_ the Browser search field and selecting "Show All".
For the second, filter for externally edited Images by clicking the dark-on-light magnifying glass icon _next to_ the Browser search field and setting a filter with the Rule "File Type" set to "is", "externally edited".
Report back.

Lightroom 3 Tethered shooting and printing

I have a very specific question. I need to shoot guests at a part in a "photo booth" style. I want to shoot tethered directly into LR3 and then have my assistant print the images as I continue to shoot the guests. However, I'm having a problem setting up the workflow. When we are in the print dialog setting up an image to print if I shoot another picture, LR3 automatically updates the working image to the newest capture. Basically this means that we can't simultaneously shoot and print at the same time. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get around this? Thank you, I really appreciate it.
Jacob

I'm at work now, I'll try it when I get home. I spent I don't know how much time looking through the menus for an option just like this. It sounds like it will do exactly what I need it to. Thank you,
Jacob

Cause of Erratic Behavior With Tethered Shooting

The first time I tried tethered shooting with my Nikon D3 and D2XS, I experienced very erratic behavior, including the import window popping up and images not downloading from the camera even though the software said they were.
I struggled with these issues for over an hour and discovered a very simple fix: Consult the camera manual. Nikon specifies a very specific procedure. First, make sure any CF cards you have in the camera are empty. Second, change the camera's USB setting to MTP/PTP. Third, TURN THE CAMERA OFF (VERY IMPORTANT). Fourth, connect the camera to your computer. Fifth, launch the software and go into Tether mode. Sixth, turn the camera on and start shooting.
When I did this, everything worked perfectly. The erratic behavior disappeared.
One other word of advice. Give a few extra seconds for the first image to download. They seem to speed up after that.

I would set both express in bridge mode and set to join or create its own network.
If you want excellent range then use ethernet to the express, set in bridge mode, set to create its own network and place the express more middle of the house.
Regarding the TC , keep it in an open environment especially if using N only mode(signal strength).
