Update to process version 2010 & smart collection "has adjustments"

Buying the new Lightroom 3 version ofcourse I wanted to profit of the new process version. So I selected all images I had "not adjusted" before and selected Update to Process version 2010. This works great.
However I now have one problem.
I had and have a Smart collection which helps me in my workflow to find all images that have not been touched, so have no adjustments.
This Smart collection has become worthless because of the update to process version 2010 all images have been adjusted.
Ok, this is correct and yet I miss my ability to select images which I have not adjusted.
Once I have set the default process version to 2010 all new images are correctly shown.
Question: how can I select all those images which have only the process version updated, but have no further adjustments?

Changing the process to version 2010 is considered as an adjustment; it will appear in the photo's history in the same way as any other development adjustment. The smart filter condition "Has Adjustments" only has a true or false setting so you can't distinguish the process version adjustment from any other. Instead of using this method to spot the photos I need to work on, I find that I have more control over my workflow by using keywords such as "review", "develop", "print"; you can make these keywords not exportable so that they are not part of the keyword list in exported photos.
Interestingly, when one or more photos are selected in the  film strip and the reset button is clicked in develop mode the photo  will revert back to its original state, the "Has Adjustments" condition  will become false, but the process version will remain at 2010.
If you have a backup of your catalog that precedes the step where you updated the process version of all photos, open this backup, add a keyword of your choice to all the photos that have not been touched, then apply the process version change. You can then change your smart catalog to use this keyword as opposed to the "Has Adjustment" condition and remove the keyword you have set on photos that have not been touched as soon as you are done editing them. IMPORTANT: Any changes you have made following the date and time of the backup will be lost.
If you don't have a backup to go to, you will have to manually identify which photos, which from your point of view, have not been touched.
Some ideas:
If you did not make other edits following the change of the process version, and have not made other edits on that date, you could built a smart collection based on the 'Edit Date" and then reset the develop settings of all the photos in that collection.
Another possible condition is a "Capture Date" range where you know photos haven't been touched yet.
There may be other options, there may be a plugin that can help you, or ultimately there would be means to access the database outside of Lightroom - contact me if you get that desperate to fix this!

  • Process version 2010 to 2012 update differences...why?

    I am a retired computer professional and I have used LR since V3 first came out and have recently updated my photos from process version 2010 to PV2012.  I used the batch process as I have ~200 GB of photos. My batch process is as follows:
    In the Library module, I clicked on > Library> select Show Photos in Subfolders. I then selected the Develop module, opened a folder and selected the first photo and manually clicked on the ! icon to Update to Current Process (2012).  I then added all the photos in the filmstrip to my selection.  I then clicked on Sync button to open the Synchronize Settings dialog and clicked on Check None and then check marked only Process Version and clicked on Synchronize.
    I noticed that the batch process zeroed out all my settings in the Develop module Basic dialog.  I no longer have my previous 2010 settings listed for the photo and in some cases it looks like some of the images have defaulted to an unprocessed state (under or overexposed, lack of color saturation).  If  I select a photo in the Develop module and go History and select the setting just prior to the "Synchronize Settings"  to render it back to PV2010 and click on the image ! icon to update just that one photo, I get a totally different result.  I retain the previous settings in the Basic tab and only the new LR4 tool settings are changed.and the History then states "Update to Current Process (2012)".
    1.  Why the different labeled result in History for the two processes? 
    2.  Why are completely different results achieved in Develop module between the batch vs the manual update processes?
    3.  Have the photos really been updated from process version 2010 to PV2012 using the batch process listed above?  As far as I know, I did the batch process correctly, as I even double checked online prior to processing in batch.
    4.  Can the images be "batched" back to PV2010?   Would they change the photos that have been added since acquiring LR4 that are in PV2012?  I can load last weeks backup PV2010 LR4 catalog, but I have added new photos since then and it would be a hassle to process them over again.
    I am NOT happy with the results of my process update due to the loss of  Develop Module Basic settings and in the completely different results achieved between the batch vs the manual update processes.  I would like to keep my old settings that are not impacted by the PV2012 change and now they are gone in my current catalog. 
    Adobe, is this a BUG or a FEATURE?

    In my opinion: not a good idea to convert old photos en-batch.
    Recommend: convert (hand-selected photos) one at a time, or just use PV2012 on new photos.
    There are more than one reason:
    * As you know, process conversion yields very different results (if photo has been substantially edited).
    * It takes some time to polish your PV2012 editing skills.
    * Often when you are comparing PV2012 results to previous PV2010 results (which you've become familiar with, and like...), you may interpret differences in a more negative light, than if you were using PV2012 without comparing to a previous PV2010 version.
    This last one can not be over-stated. Numerous times I have converted and been disappointed, at least initially. Recovered highlights can seem like loss of contrast. Detail in shadows can be distracting after initial conversion, until you step back for a while, then re-look at it...
    Also, the process version itself (results I mean) takes some getting used to (even when not comparing to a previous legacy-pv edit). e.g. if you've become attached to the over-saturated shadows in previous process version, the shadows seem under-saturated in PV2012, etc...

  • Process Version 2010

    I'm just curious how many other people out there are like me and still use Process Version 2010?  I find that I cannot achieve the same quality results using PV 2012 - those controls simply do not offer me the flexibilty and overal tonal control that I have with PV2010.  I shoot and edit fashion photography professionally, and I have very specific needs regarding tonality adjustments. I find I am reliant on Recovery, Fill Light, Blacks and Brightness sliders in order to fine tune lighting falloff on skin and clothing.  I have tried numerous times to use PV2012 but the results are far inferior to PV2010 for my needs.  Anyone else out there feel the same?  In case you're wondering, you can see examples of my PV 2010 work on pretty much all the photos on my website (davidwalden dot com). I just can't get these results with PV2012. 
    Out of curiosity, is there a technical reason why Adobe can't combine both process version controls, and offer all sliders from both versions in one layout?
    thanks,

    Combining PV2012's and PV2010's controls would be like adding a 10-band audio frequency equalizer to your sound system and then still using the Bass and Treble controls. They simply wouldn't play (pun) together very well and would make PV2012 even more difficult to use.
    That's one way of looking at it, but I don't think the difference is that straighfroward. It's more like they've replaced some controls with other controls that they deem "superior", but honestly the 2 sets of controls yield completely difference results.  Based on the results that you want, you might prefer one set of controls over the other.  I definitely do not think that having both sets in one interface would make it more difficult - it would be the best solution.  That would be the 10-band equalizer you mentioned
    Highlights and Whites is supposed to be a more refined version of Recovery. I get that, and probably in some situations it is superior (architecture and nature photography). Btw, I looked at the Siggraph paper and yes, once again they are using architecture and naturally lit environments to show how much detail can be recovered.  Recovering detail, in a very basic sense, is only one (limited) use of a photo editing toolset.  Another (more important imho) use is controlling color and contrast on human skin at different tonality ranges.  This is my primary concern during photo editing, and architecture and nature photo editing does not address these concerns. I find that the contrast that I get in highlight regions using Recovery gives me better results. Also, I use this in combination with the ToneCurve - Lights and Highlights sliders - to tweak the highlight ratios.
    It is interesting that the 2012 Basic controls nearly mirror the ToneCurve sliders - Highlights, Lights, Darks and Shadows.  Now we have 2 sets of controls in 2012 - Basic and ToneCurve - that affect similar regions.  Is this redundant at all?  Perhaps.  I find that the ToneCurve and 2010 Basic controls actually compliment each other better, because they have distinct functional differences.   For example, the Blacks slider is more akin to setting a black points using a Levels adjustment in Photoshop.  This is different from using the Shadows slider in the ToneCurve, and different from setting the ToneCurve black point manually - these things yield different results. From my experience it is better to use the Blacks slider for this, and then tweak the value using the ToneCurve black point manually (although I typically use the the manual ToneCurve points for adjusting contrast, not for setting black points - that's why an additional Levels adjustment widget would be a superior solution imho).
    Also, getting back to my earlier point about contrast at different tonalities, one thing that I have historically used Blacks and Fill Light in PV2010 is for adding/controlling *mid-tone* contrast.  Increasing these together has the effect of increasing contrast in mid-tonal regions where previously no contrast was perceptible. This is an important part of color correction process. I have tried to replicate this effect in PV2012, but the mid-tones loose the contrast and detail. Adjusting the PV2012 Shadows and Blacks sliders from my experience produces "smooth" results, but not "desireable" results. Meaning that, the darker tonalities are lifted, but the contrast and detail is lost.
    I will try to post one or more examples showing some of these concerns.  I appreciate all the feedback you guys give.

  • When developing an image from a smart collection "has no adjustments" it gets immediately deselected

    I am wondering if this could really be the intended LR behaviour?
    I start from a smart collection, one of the criteria is "has no adjustments".
    Ok, as soon as I move the first slider in develop module, it no longer matches that criterion.
    But that should be no reason for LR to force me to immediately stop the develop edits on the selected image.
    It immediately unselects, and I stay in Develop module with a grey window and the message "no image selected". (It does not move on to the next image, which still matches the criterion.)
    I would expect that when I return to Library module, it would return to the same smart collection where I started, but I would not find my last developed images there, as they no longer match the criterion.
    But that LR grabs it immediately out of my develop selection?
    Strange enough it stays the same, when I first explicitely selected all images while in Library/smart collection.
    My expectation would be that I  have this selection fixed to work on in Develop module. Similar to when I select any images from survey view and go to Develop module.
    But no, the only workaround I found is:
    Start from the smart collection, ctrl a to select all, then arbitrarily click on another collection withput this criterion - selection stays fixed - then move over to Develop module.
    This is LR4.1 on Win7.
    Definitely my functional specification would be: never take off an image from Develop unless the user moves on to another image.
    So ignore from where an image was picked.
    Would you consider this a bug? Or a "feature"?
    Do you see the same in LR4.2 or 4.3RC? Behaviour on a Mac?
    Cornelia

    There is a feature request that has been around for a long time to be able to "lock" the contents of a smart collection so you can work on the photos in it, before "releasing" it for recomputed contents.
    My workaround is to copy from smart collection to dumb (I encountered this so often that I created a 1-keystroke plugin mini-feature to help). Before that I actually used a private keyword whose presence was enough to hold a photo in a smart collection (set the keyword to work on photos, clear the keyword to release them). Then as long as you add that keyword as criteria to every smart collection you may edit in, and add the keyword to every photo in the collection that you may work on... - yuck.

  • Smart collection has "source color profile" as filter option, does not work on camera profiles

    In Lightroom 5 i tried to use the "source color profile" filter option in smart collection, however it only seems to work on rgb files (jpg, tiff) that have a profile embedded. It does not work on values like "Adobe Standard" which is a "source" profile of a RAW file, or any of the camera profiles i can choose fo given Raw file. What am i doing wrong?
    The Help does not give any clue on this, nor does the coverage by any of the Lightroom guru's like Juleanne Kost.

    In my opinion the filter is acting correctly.
    The Adobe Standard profile is not a profile defined in the source file, it is a profile assigned to the file in the raw converter and used with raw files that do not have a source color profile, already, so to me the filter is acting correctly because “source” means where the profile comes from, rather than what profile a master photo has had assigned to it. 
    The source-color-profile option is useful to determine the size of the color gamut in a file’s color numbers which indicates its suitability for various purposes:  An sRGB file can be safely uploaded to the web, an AdobeRGB file is going to look right on a wide-gamut monitor and printablebut shouldn’t be uploaded to the web, while a ProPhotoRGB file has a large color space and can be safely edited in a way that adjusts the colors significantly, especially if it is 16-bit, without color-banding or posterization, but a ProPhotoRGB file will probably not look good if directly uploaded to the web or sent to a print-shop that doesn’t do their own color profile conversions.
    I would agree that being able to filter raw files based on the assigned color profile would also be useful, but this is a different thing, to me at least, than filtering by the source-color-profile.

  • Smart collection "had adjustments" not working in 4.3

    Hello,
    In LR 3.4 I had no problem applying this smart collection onto a specific folder from the library by simply selecting the collection and then pression CTRL (on windows) while I click the folder in question .. that would filter all those photos that I've edited in LR for that folder.
    That isn't the case in LR 4.3.
    Right now this smart collection is saying I've got 8683 such photos in the collection, and trying the above method to filter just those edited in a specific folder in the library, simply shows all 8683 photos from my entire library.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I agree with Rob -- it was a change for the worse.  See this thread for an extended discussion:

  • Updated Mavericks Mail, Version 1.0 (1822) has killed all accounts

    I have a Yahoo account, an ATT account (via Yahoo), a gmail account and an iCloud account.
    They worked fine after upgrading to Mavericks.  THEN, the gmail bug fix came out and Mail updated.  Now, I can't access the Yahoo, ATT or Gmail accounts.
    Mail keeps asking me for the passwords and I input them.  I've triple checked them directly.  But Connection Doctor says they are invalid.
    Everything continues to work fine via my iPad and iPhone.
    I haven't paid any attention to Mail for years.  It's been working just fine... All of a sudden I need to get back up to speed and, frankly, I'm a bit lost.
    Any advice would be helpful.

    iCloud was working, but Mail wouldn't save passwords for *other* Internet Accounts (Gmail, Yahoo!, etc.)
    I fixed the problem serendipitously by resetting my keychain.

  • Changing Process Version adds +/- icon

    Something I found really annoying when upgrading to LR3.
    I asked LR 3 to update the process version to 2010 for all pictures. It worked. However, all my pictures are now being considered has having being modified, thus having the little +/- icon on the thumbnail.
    I was using this "visual help" in order to know which images were post-processed, and which are not. Now, all are considered as being modified, even if changing the process version did not in fact add any post treatment.

    The default values of all of the development parameters get applied when you import an image - they all have a value/setting.  No badge is displayed when the defaults (whatever you've decided you like as defaults) are applied.
    However, change one of them and the badge comes on.  That's what you're doing when you change the process version.

  • Problems with "Keywords - contains all" in smart collection

    I imported multiple pictures from a shoot; each has keywords, and they all have a common keyword phrase, say "my common keyword phrase". I created a smart collection with "Keywords" using "contains all" and parameter "my common keyword phrase". It worked as expected - those images were included in the smart collection.
    However, I just imported a new picture that has "my common keyword phrase" in it, and the smart collection is not updated. The smart collection has no other AND or OR triggers.
    I can access all the images with this keyword phrase by accessing them via the keyword list in Library - all the images do show up. But what am I likely doing wrong with the smart collection? I am using LR 4.3.1 under Win7 (64-bit). Thanks!

    Have you tried deleting the preferences?  See Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5.  Note that on more recent versions of Mac OS, you should reboot after deleting the preferences, since the operating system can cache them. 
    Sprinkling this magic fairy dust often fixes weird LR behavior.

    Do you mean you were storing the documents in iCloud and now you can't see them from Numbers? If so, you probably need to check to see that iCloud is configured to work with Numbers.
    Here in System Preferences > iCloud make sure 'Documents and Data' is checked:

  • Process Version

    What is the effect of updating the process version used with LR 3 to that used with LR 4 on an image already processed in LR 3?

    I would recommend that you not follow the 'save XMP in LR3' advice just given as it is incomplete and will potentially cause loss of data.
    Rob Cole wrote:
    You can save xmp in Lr3, then import those photos using Lr4b1 to play.
    I have also imported almost everything else from my Lr3 catalog to Lr4, but Adobe does not recommend it, and most vocal forumers agree its a *very* BAD idea, and I should be ashamed of myself for even mentioning it...
    1. Save your XMP Data for you LR3 Files. Select CTRL S
    2. Export as a catalog and include the negatives a small subset of your images you wish to try in LR4.
    3. Import into the LR4 PB, only those negatives which exported in Step 2 so that you are working on just the copies and not your originals. They should be segregated inside a folder with the name you gave your export as catalog in Step 2.
    4. Realize that none of your 'testing' work may be usable in the final LR 4 release.

  • Update Process Version Dialog Box (2010 Process)

    How do I get this box back (it seems to have disappeared) only allowing me to update one photo at a time? I also tried copying the development setting by applying only the process setting check box (for an updated photo) but that doesn't seem to work either.

    Go to Preferences, in the General tab, and click on "reset all warnings".  That should make the Update Process Version dialog appear again.
    You can also select all your images in Library grid and go to the Photo menu, choose "Develop Settings" then "Update to Current Process (2010)" to update multiple images at once.

  • Applying presets causes filter settings to get corrupted if process version updated

    I have an ongoing problem with Lightroom 5.7 including earlier versions.  The problem occurs when editing photos which use previous process versions (ie, 2010).  My presets all have the Current Process version checked (as they should).  Whenever I apply any preset to a photo, the settings for existing filters get corrupted (reset to 0).  This includes my Graduated Filter settings, Adjustment Brush settings and Radial Filter settings.  Those filters and their masks remain on the photo but their parameters have all been set to zero.  I keep falling into this trap since it's natural to use my presets when making updates to photos.  Often I don't realize this occurred until it's too late. 
    As a work-around (inconvenient) I can first manually update to the current process by right-clicking the photo and saying Settings/Update to Current Process (2012).  Or by clicking the Lightening Bolt button in the upper right corner.  But this must be done prior to applying any presets and I typically for get as my database has tens of thousands of pics. Even a preset with just the Process Version set will cause the filter settings to be corrupted.  I'm not interested in applying a batch or Quick Develop process to all at once since I need to inspect each one as the process is updated.  It would be great if this could be fixed in a maintenance release since it keeps biting me.  I think it's important that this be fixed in LR 6.0 also.  No doubt it's messed up many user's photos without them realizing it.  Does anyone know a work-around so Presets can be used?
