Ability to filter on develop settings applied

Please consider adding the ability to filter on whether or not develop settings have been applied.
Scenario:
After importing a new shoot, I pick the very best images and edit them in Develop. Then I post a few images to my blog or send them to my client very soon after their session.
Meanwhile back in Lightroom I have some images where Develop settings have been applied, and some images that don't yet have any settings applied. I'd like to be able to filter out the images that already have Develop setting applied so I can continue reviewing the shoot and mass applying new settings without affecting the images that are already "final."
Please let me know if this functionality already exists and (hopefully) point me towards a tutorial.
Thank you very much,
Ernie Fehler

The functionality already exists in Smart Collections. Create a Smart Collection as shown below.

Easy way to select files w/develop settings applied?

Hi
Adobe Bridge CS6/Camera Raw Win7 - OK I have a folder w/350 images, some of these (50 or so scattered about) I've applied a Camera Raw develop setting to and can see the results in Bridge and thay have a little symbol in the thumb. Other than manually selecting them (ctl/shft click click click) is there a way to say to Bridge "select all files with develop stting applied"? so I can move/open/export/whatever?
That would save a lot of wear and tear on the wrists...

is there a way to say to Bridge "select all files with develop stting applied"?
Look in the filter panel under Camera Raw and select 'custom settings' . If you then choose the sort order in the path bar (top right in Bridge window) and select sort by date modified they will also get in the order first last you applied settings to.

Alternate Develop Settings

One thing I really liked in RSP and miss in LR was the ability to set multiple "develop" settings for a single image.
What happens is that sometimes I may be heading down a certain path in the way I am adjusting my settings for an image, when suddenly I decide to take an alternate path with different settings. Then, I like being able to very quickly alternate between them to compare the two renderings of the image to see which one(s) I prefer.
Plus, I would often export the image, once for each "set", and then compare them full size. And the good thing is that RSP would remember EACH of the settings, not just the last one. So if I do 3 and happen to like the 1st one the best, but still want to tweak it some more, I can just go back to RSP and tweak the settings in the #1 slot.
In other words, I don't LOSE anything by playing.
If that capability is already in LR, I've missed it. Please tell me where to look.
Thanks,
David

David, VCs are what you are looking for, since you want to compare full size. Just right-click on an image and choose Create Virtual Copy. This will give you a separate copy of the image that appears separately in the library, and can be operated on same as any other image - except that it uses the same underlying image file and applies different editing instructions to it.
You can recognize VCs in the library by the "turned over corner" that is applied to them.

Develop Settings

I have a PC, and I just upgraded to Production Premium 5.5 and bought Lightroom 4
Do develop settings applied in ACR show up in Lightroom 4?
Develope settings applied in Lightroom 4 do not appear in Bridge......
Are they the same "devlop settings"?

The new Process Version 2012 develop settings will not be available in any version of Camera Raw prior to version 7.
I thought that ACR 6.7 will able to interpret PV 2012. The only drawback in ACR 6.7 will be that the new PV 2012 settings will not be changeable in the ACR GUI. And this is already the case for ACR 6.7 RC (with a few rendering differences compared to LR4).
Quote from the lightroom journal:
The correct plug-in for Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 compatibility is Camera Raw 6.7, currently available on Adobe Labs Please keep in mind that currently Camera Raw 6.7 is a a Release Candidate version of the plug-in.
...or did I misunderstand something?

Problem with JPGs Downlaoded with Nikon Transfer - Can't Apply Develop Settings in Bridge CS4 and ACR 5.3 Settings Don't Stick

I have found what I believe is a "problem" with JPGs downloaded using Nikon Transfer (ver 1.4.1) and processing same in Adobe Bridge CS4 (Develop Settings) and/or Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 (Photoshop CS4 and Elements 6 as hosts).
Anyone using these programs in their workflow?
The problem, quite simply, is that neither ACR settings (nor Bridge CS4 Develop Settings) "stick" when applied to JPGs that have been downloaded via Nikon Transfer ver 1.4.1.
The same images from the same cameras (D300 and D90), downloaded moments later using Nikon's predecessor software PictureProject work just fine in both Bridge and ACR. Develop Settings appled in Bridge immediately are seen, and JPGs opened in ACR, and settings applied, then "Done" immediately stick and are reflected in Bridge.
If someone else is processing their JPGs in this manner, please let me know, as I have reported the problem to both Nikon and Adobe, and although I have tested it on two different cameras and two differnt laptops, I would like to get an impartial result as well.
One other test, the problem does not seem to affect Nikon's RAW (NEF) format files downloaded from a D2x using Nikon Transfer. More/different test are forthcoming.
Thanks

Can't say one way or another on that statement about using manufacturers' software. Since Adobe has to interpret each camera models' RAW format having the latest ACR seems to be the best option. But if the manufacturers' software is more convenient, and you get the same results then use it. But it does appear you are not getting what you want, so suggest you try a duplicate test run with images straight from the card reader to Bridge and see if you still have same problems.
I do know it is widely recommended that using a quality card reader gives you more reliable data than getting the pictures straight from the camera. Does not seem intuitive, but that has been experience of many.

Problem Re-applying Develop settings after roundtrip to photoshop!

I am having a very annoying problem with re applying develop settings back to an image after touching up in photoshop.
Here is my basic workflow.
1 - import camera files to lightroom (Raw .cr2 Files)
2 - make slects and experiment with color develop settings.
3 - Rest all develop settings.
4 - send to photoshop for skin touch ups via edit in photoshop. OR export .DNG files for my touch up artist.
5 - Re import into lightroom via saving from photoshop to up date the copy it makes or just re-importing if it was a DNG i exported
6 - copy the develop settings from the original then pasting onto the edited version.
When I do this paste the develop settings the image gets totally blown out and is not at all close to the original develop settings I had decided on.
Note: before pasting the develop settings the touched up file is IDENTICAL to the reset original.
This is a Major problem for me and totally makes it impossible to match the original effect.
What am I doing wrong here?

So what should the workflow be?
Do your best on RAW in Lightroom, edit in Photoshop (16bpc, ProPhoto) for final touches that Lightroom cannot accomplish (retouch skin etc.).
if I do an effect then send to photoshop to edit and then back to lightroom is some of the color information lost? say if my effect is really blowing out the whites and I want to change it post photoshop edit am I able to get that color information back?
No, if you blow the highlight in raw, you cannot get them back from a PSD. The point is not to blow them if you don't wish to, then there will be nothing to recover fro a PSD. But if your artistic choice was to blow the highlights in a picture, then there's on difference when you blow them and no point in wishing
to recover them on a latter stage.
Do the photoshop files have the same color range as the raws?
Yes, if you use the ProPhoto RGB space and 16bpc bit depth.

Possible to automatically import, apply develop settings, then export?

Is it possible to completely automate the process of:
1. Import an image
2. Apply some develop settings to the image
3. Export the image
Without any user interaction?
(Gnarly workarounds are acceptable, as long as it's fully automated.)

Assuming SDK 3.0 or better, then yes.
- catalog:addPhotos
- photo:applyDevelopPreset
- create LrExportSession and do export.

How to efficently apply development settings from DNG to RAW?

Hi,
two years ago, after switching to only shoot RAW, I let LR convert my RAWs to DNG on import (app. 1.000 pictures), but later stopped that again due to the slow process and continued to work on my original RAWs only. Now I'm left with 1.000 developed DNGs and 10.000 RAWS.
What would be the most efficiant way to transfer the development setting of my DNGs to the correspinding RAWs?
Best,
Max

Hi Max
The only way I can think of is manual process e.g. import the raw files then select the DNG and corresponding raw and synchronize settings.
If batches of the DNG’s have shared develop settings you might be able to speed up the process by choosing a representative DNG and then synchronizing a whole bunch of raw files.

Tether & Develop Settings in LR3 always get the 'Update Process Version'

I am using tether with develop settings in LR3. I keep getting the 'Update Process Version' and it won't apply the filter unless I click the (!). It does this with newly created presets. Please help.

Erm, 2 words... free trial?
Anyway, let's get you sorted out. Are you the same hania on the POTN forums, or do you just have the same problem?
First things first, when you mention repairing permissions, I guess you're a Mac user.
First, hold down Opt while starting LR and see if you can start a clean catalog ok. That'll determine whether it's catalog specific.
Then go to Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Preferences / and move or delete any com.adobe.lightroom*.plist files.
And while you're there, I'd also go to Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / Lightroom / and move that Lightroom folder somewhere else for the moment.
Then see if it works. Could be a few things - most likely are a problem with the catalog, corrupted preferences file, or a preset that it doesn't like. We can exclude those quite easily using the above.

Finding files by develop settings

Probably a question for Bridge users, but that forum is pretty useless, and it relates to Camera Raw, so I'm asking here...
In Bridge, you can search for files by certain EXIF or file metadata, and filter Contents by a few more statistics, like orientation or aspect ratio. However, I've never found a way of selecting files with specific raw development settings, like Exposure = 0.00, or Clarity = 20.
I could use the operating system search instead to search XMP sidecars for text strings, but then there would be no way to easily and quickly work on the resulting files as a batch, as far as I can see.
Any suggestions?

I know you can filter by exposure by using the Filter panel (natch), which is enabled by default in the lower left corner in Bridge CC.
Otherwise, you can create any keyword you want on the lower right Keywords panel, apply them to selected images, then use the Filter panel using the "Keywords" element containing your customized keywords.
Exposure? That must be new in CC, unless you mean "Exposure Time", which is the EXIF shutter speed, not the Camera Raw Exposure setting.
Keywords doesn't help me identify ACR develop settings.

Cannot paste develop settings to multiple images in Lightroom 3

I have just started using Lightroom 3 and am only able to paste develop settings to one image. If I select multiple images it will only paste the setting to the active image, not all selected images. I never had this issue with Lightroom 2. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi Dorin
I think the complaint is still valid - there should be no reason that you should have to toggle to Auto Sync before being able to paste your develop settings to the entire target selection, not just the active image in the selection. It should work with that switch toggled to Sync mode as well -- there is obviously a bug here.
I am having the identical problem as the original poster. I am using LR 3.3 on a Mac, OS 10.6.5, in other words I cannot get develop settings to copy to all my selected target images while I am in the Develop module, only the active image within the target images, without toggling the Sync button to Auto Sync.
This even after the release notes for 3.3 say they have corrected for the problem "Paste Settings did not apply to all images in the Develop module Filmstrip" (see http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2010/12/lightroom-3-3-and-camera-raw-6-3-now-avail able.html)
This is silly. How do we ask Adobe to correct this bug?

Bridge CS4 does not see ACR presets in Develop Settings

I think that this is new with CS4. I create a Preset in ACR in the Preset Panel. That Preset works fine on photos in ACR. The Preset is listed in the Camera Raw Settings folder in the Finder.
But, when I try to apply the Preset in Bridge via Edit > Develop Settings, the Preset does not appear. Is this correct? I believe that a preset did appear in CS3 in Bridge Develop Settings.
The preset was created with a Raw file from the 1DS MkIII. Could it be camera-related?
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Sonny

Strange. I Quit Bridge. Relaunched Bridge, and the Presets now appear in the Develop Settings list.
I presume that I should not have to Quit and relaunch for the presets to appear?
I created another preset. It only appeared in Develop Settings when I again quit and relaunched Bridge, even though it appears in the Camera Raw Settings folder.

CS3 (XP sp3) My "develop settings" vanish or are grayed out!?

I have CS3 installed at my studio and home.
It's been fine, but after a couple months use, at my studio if I right click on a thumbnail to apply the "previous settings" from another image to a group or other single image, the "Develop options" when I right click on the thumbnail has disappeared? (sometimes it appears on SOME images... usually it's gone). Now this happened at home too. (two different machines.
CLICKING EDIT at the top menu and selecting DEVELOP SETTINGS, opens another menu that has ALL the options (faded - grayed out).
My normal work flow is to tweak one image in camera raw, click DONE and then select all like images and APPLY PREVIOUS CONVERSION -
this has now stopped on both machines - it's literally driving my business to a hault! I'm using Bridge 2.1.1.9 it says
I've seen others have this same problem, but I didn't see any solution.

I haven't done your reboot or re-set options yet. (doesn't seem like I need to - as I'm trying other things to try and track down the problem).
So far here's what I've tried.
I went to an older directory and bridge worked fine as it should on all these images.
I went back to the problem dir... (same thing) no develop option on most image. (not all).
So - I created a new dir... "test" and copied 25% of the images that were having problems into the new dir. Went in there with bridge and (so far it's working fine). STRANGE.
(when I click on a image, it brings up camera raw... 4.5 and works fine... bridge stays in the background). WHEN I HAVE THE PROBLEM - clicking the image brings up CS3 in the background behind bridge.
I have no idea why.... still trying to see what causes it.
I'll continue to copy all the files into the new dir and see if I can make it happen again...
will advise as I progress.

Include Develop settings in metadata have no effect

Hi.
I've just discovered that option in the "Catalog Settings -> Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files" have no effect.
I tested this with JPEG and TIFF inside LR 3.3 RC1, but it looks like this issue is present even in LR 2.x too.
No matter what you option is, develop settings are always included into the XMP.
I have exported the same image with this option on and off and they are binary equal except creation date in the XMP.
Develop settings are always there, no matter what you have selected in options.

This is sounding like normal behaviour. It should only apply when writing metadata back to original files.
The 'include Develop settings in XMP' checkbox dates back to the early days when ACR was just starting to be able to process rendered files. It was automatically opening any rendered files into the ACR dialog if there were Develop settings found in the metadata. The checkbox prevented those settings being written to those originals so that you could open directly into PS and bypass the dialog, and additional options have since been added to the Camera Raw preferences in Bridge/PS to allow you to use or ignore those settings too.
Once the files are being exported, there's a line in the metadata that says <crs:AlreadyApplied>True</crs:AlreadyApplied> which prevents those Develop settings being applied again.
If you want to exclude Develop settings from exported files, you can either check the 'minimize embedded metadata' checkbox in the Export dialog to remove all metadata, or use Jeffrey's Metadata Wrangler plug-in to specify which metadata to exclude.
