Suddenly can't edit in LR4 -- can DNG files get locked?

I suddenly can't edit in "Develop" mode.  I can click on Lens Correction, but I can't seem to use the Basic adustments, Detail, or any others.   It's like I locked the DNG file from any more editing.  Any ideas?*

Hi Ron,
Can  you open the basic panel?
...just a weird idea... maybe you have set your develop panels to solo mode? So only one will be open at a time? <ctrl>1 should help, as this opens the basic panel.
To answer your general question: it is not the DNG files that get locked - they are *locked* all the time.
LR writes a record pointing to a DNG inside its catalog=database.
That can not get locked.
What exactly do you see when trying to do a basic adjustment?
Could it be a performance problem - LR just being too slow for you to notice anything?
What system are you using, which LR-version exactly?

    iPhoto pulls off new videos from my iPhone 5 just fine.  Does iPhoto automatically come up when you connect your iPhone?  If it does, you should see your iPhone under "Devices" in iPhoto and then can select the videos to transfer (select, then Import Selected), though that should happen automatically.

  • I can't edit text on a pdf file in adobe acrobat

    I need to edit the text on the pdf file but I can't and this message keeps showing up: " This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
    There are no security on this file. The only thing that is not allowed is to create templates. When I check the document properties description, on the PDF producer it says adobe distiller 7.0.5 (windows)
    I downloaded the adobe livecycle designer but I couldn't edit the text there either... When I open the file it says the text is not downloaded so it replaced it with another text, I clicked ok but then the text didn't change, This message showed up:
    I really need to edit the text on this pdf file because it's important. Can anyone help? Greatly appreciate it. By the way, this is a pdf fillable form that you can fill out on acrobat and that is the only thing it seems like it will let me do this file. I don't want to fill it out, I want to edit whats on it. It's one of those forms that you get from NJ courts.

    Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.
    So, you are on the right track: if it can be edited, you need LiveCycle Designer. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it in this forum, so please try posting here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es
    If the form is publicly available, it may help if you include the URL (web address) when you post.

  • Can't edit movie artwork (greyed out on Get Info tabs)

    All I need to know is how to be able to add artwork to my movies that are being read form an external hard drive. When I press CMD+I for the get info window the option to even select the Artwork tab is greyed out and unavailabe. How do I get it to add artwork that I have found online?
    I did not have this problem when itunes was reading the movies from my actual mac computer it only started when I made itunes read the movies from my external drive. I can still edit the artwork for the ones that are not on my external drive yet and are only on my actual mac computer. Why is this happeneing?

    When you add a movie to iTunes you have to make sure it makes a copy of the file in the iTunes Media folder.  Otherwise, you can't edit any of the information on the movie or video.
    In iTunes 12, go to Edit-->Preferences
    In Preferences, go to Advanced and make sure the "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library".
    Unfortunately, you will now have to re-import the movie files into iTunes using "Add File To Library..." Once imported, the movie will sometimes appear under "Home Movies" instead of "Movies" but if you right click on the movie file it will list a menu item called "Get Info" where you can change the "Options" to "Movie". You should also be able to click the "Add Artwork" button. 
    Hope that helps.

  • How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    MyTienN wrote:

    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

  • Can you edit text after saving your file as pdf

    I have recently created a letterhead in Illustrator.
    Is there a way to change a person name and title after saving it as a pdf file? I heard something about creating a form in Acrobat professsional.
    I need to print out a letterhead with different peoples name and title. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Can you edit the text in Acrobat Reader?
    Yes, if you use Acrobat Pro to save the PDF as a Reader-enabled form.
    1. Create your letterhead in Illustrator (or whatever). Leave design space for, but do not create text objects that you want to be editable.
    2. Save as PDF.
    3. Open the PDF in Acrobat Pro. Use Acrobat's Form tools to add text fields whereever you want the end users to be able to key text.
    4. Select the Enable Reader Usage Rights command in Acrobat to make the form fields edtiable in Reader. Save the file.
    Recipients of the PDF can now open it in Reader, edit the content of the fields, and save the file with their edits.

  • Can I edit 1080p 60 50mbps MXF files In PP CS4?

    Can I import 1080p 60 50mbps MXF files? The only setting I see in Premiere CS4 is the DVCProHD setting for 1080 60. When I open that type of session and then try to import an MXF file Premiere errors with the following.
    File Import Error: File video dimensions (width/height) too large. I guess that means I can't do this in Premiere?

    Loooooooong shot: What happens if you change the extension to .avi?

  • Edit copy in a CS6 file, but lock formatting of parts of the file

    I have a client that needs to be able to edit some copy in a file that I've created in adobe Illustrator CS6, but I want to be able to lock the formatting of parts of the file. I don't want them to use CS6.Suggestions?

    Can't do. At best you could offer them a hacky solution liek creating a PDF form with an editable text field, but it may end up looking awful.

  • Can I edit FCE projects when the files are on a External HD?

    Hello,
    I've recently reinstalled Snow Leopard. Since I have a clean start, I'm thinking about new ways to manage my video files for FCE editing.
    Video projects take up most of the space on my HD, so I'd like to keep them on an external drive this time.
    Is working on FCE projects while all the video files are saved on an external drive a bad idea? Or will this work out just fine? This way I don't have to first save them to my internal HD, finish the project, move video files to the external HD, and point FCE to where they're saved again. There just on the external HD from the start and while I'm editing the video! I can get a HD with firewire too.
    Thanks.

    Not at all. This is the correct way to work with a laptop.

  • I can't edit in PhotoshopCC 2014; the file won't open.

    Since upgrading to PhotoshopCC 2014, I can't open files to edit from Lightroom in it. Anyone else having this issue, and how do we fix it?
    http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/

    The solution is usually to reinstall PS-CC-2014, but now that PS-CC-2014.1 has been released, just install that.  Do Help / Updates in PS, and if that doesn’t give you the update, again, then also log out of the CC Desktop app using Gear / Preferences / Account / Signout, then sign back in, and maybe do Help / Updates, again.  At some point it’ll tell you there is an update and you can just download and install it.

  • Can you edit whole audio as one file?

    I have done the bulk of transitions and mixing in final cut and just want to use soundtrack to eliminate some hiss and tiny bit of clean up can i send the audio as a complete file so I dont have to do multitrack and risk messing my mixes and transitions etc?

    I do my complicated audio in Logic Pro, so I don't really understand Soundtrack Pro.
    That said, if you want to apply one effect to the whole sequence in FCP,
    you can nest the sequence:
    1. Edit > Select All
    2. Sequence > Nest (no need to mixdown audio if it's stereo)
    3. Option-click on the nested Audio to open it in the Viewer.
    4. Add your global effects.
    Sweet!
    Nesting is described in the FCS2 manual on page III-416.
    It's a really useful technique. You can go back and
    tweak the original edit, and the nested sequence will update.
    BTW, when mixing digital audio, most folks set it to peak
    around -12dB.
    Note that if you have some clips that are too loud or soft,
    it's best to adjust those clips' volumes, instead of squashing
    the whole mix with a global limiter.
    Finally, the best way to check if your mix levels are even
    is to jump around to different locations of the timeline,
    listening at a low level, making sure you can hear all the elements.
    Sometimes the best way to even things out is to adjust the EQ
    instead of the gain.
