Adding zeros to filenames when exporting in Lightroom "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc?

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add zeros before numbers when exporting files eg: "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc? The default setting is "Filename-1" "Filename-2" ect. The reason I want to have zeros in the number sequence is that certain software will display files in the wrong numerical sequence eg: "Filename-1" "Filename-10" Filename-11" etc and then "Filename-2" after "Filename-19". If zeros are added the files will always be displayed in the correct sequence "Filename-001" "Filename-002"... "Filename-009" "Filename-010" "Filename-011" etc.

Just customize the filename using the template editor, and use the Sequence token set to the number of leading zeroes you want, as shown.

Saturation Loss When Exporting from Lightroom.

This happens to me when exporting from Lightroom 2 or 3. It happens regardless of the color profile, file format, bit depth, image size, compression, or the method of export. I regularly profile my one-year-old iMac monitor with an Eye One Display 2. My working color space for Photoshop CS4 is ProPhoto. After exporting, I am viewing the images in Photoshop, Safari, Firefox and Apple Preview, with the same result. I have used pretty much all the available export methods in Lightroom, including exporting with Lighroom ad-ons such as SlideshowPro. And, conversely, if I edit an image to my liking ourside of Lightroom, there is a saturation increase when I import it into Lightroom. The effect tends to be most obvious and bothersome with shots taken outside on sunny days, with lots of blues and greens. I am shooting raw files with a Canon 5d II and I use the Adobe Standard profile in Lightroom.
There is a section at the back of Martin Evening's Lightroom book where he talks about the Lightroom color space and Lightroom versus Photoshop curves, which seems to relate to what I am seeing, but I have the feeling that what I seeing is more pronounced than what he is talking about there. It is a real dullng of the look, not merely a slight difference in how the colors are rendered.

Looks like Lightroom doesn't like your display profile.
Try removing the profile (don't know how to do it on a Mac) to leave your display uncalibrated. Are the colors still different in Lightroom and Photoshop?

Pictures all grey toned when exported from Lightroom 4.

They look great in Lightroom and then look/print grey toned when exported, even photos that have not been edited. Fix?

Can't think of any ICC profile LR would allow that would produce a grayscale appearing document. Wondering if it's another of those 'corrupted' display profile issues where a grayscale treatment is being applied to the images but in LR it isn't showing? This IS a strange one.
What if in the Print Module you Save as JPEG, Gray?

How do I get closed captions to play when exported, nothing is working (embedding, side files etc)

I can't seem to get my closed caption track to play when exported, since my film is in german it is completely essential, none of the side files work with quicktime or vlc and neither does embedding it

First off, media players like QuickTime and VLC do not play sidecars. I believe sidecars are used for broadcasting and possibly for writing to DVD.
As for the embedded captions, a few questions:
What is the type of the caption stream? Only CEA 608 can be embedded into QuickTime clips.
In QuickTime, have you enabled caption display?
If you import the QuickTime clip with embedded captions back into Premiere Pro, are the captions present?

Leading zeros are dropped when exporting as csv

I have a report that when I export as csv, leading zeros in text columns are dropped in excel. The text columns appear fine in the report, however, when I export the leading zero is gone in excel. For example, in the report my text column could have a value of 0101, when it is exported to excel it has a value of 101. The code behind the link to export to csv is f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R#REGION_ID#
Is there a way to keep the leading zero in excel?
Regards
Mark

Thanks for your reply. In my query I wrapped the column with double quotes as you suggest, and added the same column for display:
select '"'||column1||'"' execl_col, column1 disp_col from table where ....
Using htmldb_application.g_excel_format as a conditional display I can control what is displayed on the screen and export to csv the double quoted text field. I have that part working fine. Using my previous data example, I am now seeing in excel 0101"".
Did I wrap the field incorrectly with double quotes? How can I exclude the
double quotes in the export to csv?
Regards
Mark

Assertion Failed alert when exporting in Lightroom 2 BETA

Please help! I am currently using the Lightroom 2 Beta on a Mac (OS X 10.4.11) and installed a plug-in to allow for a graphical watermark. Unfortunately, the plug-in wouldn't work properly (showed an internal error even though the plug in manager said it was working fine) and when I removed the plug in (through the plug in manager) I now cannot export at all through the export button in the Library mode. I get an alert saying "assertion failed". Technically I can still export through the file/export option but cannot get to the settings window (filenames, folders etc) to show what folder to put them into or specify the export settings.
Console report: "2008-04-08 10:21:19.413 Adobe Lightroom 2 Beta[308] Oops! An untagged string (assertion failed!) got thrown far enough that we display it to the user. This shouldn't happen."
I tried reinstalling but must have missed a file as the same error keeps appearing.
Can anyone give me a hand?

See the notes on the beta forum. Post this there.

Image Settings not working when exporting in Lightroom v1.3.1

When I try to export Images in Lightroom v1.3.1 to jpeg the image settings do not work. Example: Color space - SRGB, resize to fit checked, long edge set to 10in and resolution set to 250 gives me a image of 24in X 34in @ 72ppi. If I do nothing but save as a tiff I get 8in X 10in @ 250ppi. It works fine for everything except JPEG. Help please!

If you care about the resolution tag, do not check "minimize metadata". Otherwise your 24x36@72 ppi is EXACTLY the same image as a 10" long dimension image @250 ppi, because they are both 2500 pixels in the long dimension. Lightroom scaled your image correctly in other words, it just neglected to write the silly resolution metadata tag to your file, which it only writes to jpegs when you do not check the minimize metadata checkbox. The only thing that matters is the number of pixels. P.S. if you really want a 4x5 ratio image, you'll first need to crop it in Develop. The 24x36 implies it is still at a 2x3 ratio.

Get too small pictures when exporting from Lightroom

I shoot in both cr2 (23 MB) and Small-jpeg. Afterwards I upload the pictures to Lightroom and have the appear in the catalog as one picture. Here I make all the editing and when I export the picture back to my harddrive as a jpeg I can only get a file of 3-500 kb. I know I have made some croping - but not that much. It is like Lightroom is working on the jpeg picture and not my cr2 picture. Do anyone have a clue to what I am doing wrong? It may be a setting?

Hi

The size of the cr2 file i 21 MB (and it has a jpeg sister of 930 kb) - and the picture is cropped - but how do I read the cropped dimension? As I am shooting bird picture I normally crop a lot - but my picture are still of an ok size
I can see your screenshot, and looking at the actual pictures that were exported (thumbnails in the filmstrip at the bottom) helps understand why the jpg files are small: your pictures are mostly a smooth blue background (sky) with a tiny bird in the picture. These files are highly compressible in the jpg format, as there isn't a lot of detail in them. I would expect that the resulting file size would be rather small, even if the original files were large.

Receiving an error report when exporting from Lightroom - Why?

I use Lightroom, always have. Started editing on a new computer (given to me by an associate as my computer has crashed) - the specs are sufficient to run Lightroom, and 9/10 times it gives me an error message that says it can't export photos. Every once in a while it will actually export the photo, but there's no rhyme or reason to it - Please help.
The error message only says "Not enough memory" - no other details, no nothing.

Hi,
minimum requirements are from sales people, optimal ones form the working people...
Try to close all other (backgroud) programs.
Which camera you are using? Try to export with diffent settings. (Why only @60 when you want to print?, Why sharpen for Mate if you want to e-mail?) If you want to print, I would use TIFF. Try to export images in smaler packages (2x 50 pictures, instead of one 100 pictures job).
Try to disable the wateramarking.

Colour shift when exporting from lightroom 5 into Photoshop CS6

Hi there,
Having a really weird problem in Lightroom/Photoshop that no amount of Googling can seem to fix.
When I grade an image for colour in lightroom, and then use the "edit in" function to send the file to Photoshop, the file is a completely different colour.
Here's an example:
I'm using SRGB for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and the "preserve embedded profiles" is selected for RGB, CMYK, and gray.
If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. I don't want to have to use ProPhotoRGB, because most of my work is delivered online.
Thanks in advance
John

I am also having this issue with the "Merge to HDR Pro" function in both LR5.2 and PSCC. When the image is viewed at 50% image size in the HDR app everything appears fine. However, once you start to zoom in the image begins to crop out segements starting on the right hand side. See the screen shots below:
Image at 50%
Image at 66%
Image at 100%

Pixelated images when exporting from Lightroom

I recently switched from A Windows PC to the MBP Retina 15". I imported photos to lightroom from my external hard drive in RAW format to lightroom, edited then exported firstly as jpeg resized to 630 x 420 at 150 dpi. The images came out pixelated so I tried exporting at 300dpi even though the images are for web use. They still came out pixelated. So I tried exporting as .tif files at 300 dpi and still they are coming out pixelated... does anyone know why this would be? The raw files don't look pixelated at all.

PART I
Viewed at 100%, I see no "pixelation" or any other distortion of any kind whatsoever.
Only a 100% view (1:1) shows you your true image. At smaller percentage views, pixels have to be discarded; at greater percentages pixels have to be made up (invented) by the software.
With the Retina screen you're bound to see very strange things, unless you're using the latest and greatest versions of Photoshop and of your video card, and utilizing the Retina features of the software.
PART II
JPEG is a lousy, lossy format for maintaining image quality. Every single time you open or create and save a JPEG, the image quality deteriorates, no exceptions. Even at the highest quality of compression.
To take a very low resolution JPEG, like you did, and subject it to such a massive enlargement is to ask for demand trouble. Not only are you also magnifying all the JPEG compression artifacts, but you are "inventing" an inordinate amount of pixels.
If you have to enlarge your images often, start with an image file that has NEVER been a JPEG.
PART III
Photoshop performed superbly in your case. That is a remarkably fine enlargement, especially considering the miserly JPEG you started from. Rejoice!

How do I use parentheses instead of dashes when exporting in Lightroom?

I don't always want to replace a photo without warning. Sometimes I like to see the photos side by side. Windows convention uses parantheses for different versions of an image, which keeps the jpegs together and separate from tiffs or other raw images. But Lightroom uses a dash so I get, for example, 20120101-1.jpg. I need it to be 20120101 (1).jpg

You can't.

Optimal photos size for Ipad when exporting from lightroom.

anyone using lightroom. what are you setting your photos at for the ipad. what is the optimal photo resolution for the ipad?

I'm losing date photo was taken when exporting from Lightroom.

The photo taken date is being replaced with the date that I'm processing the photo with Lightroom. The photos I'm currently working with were taken over 10 years ago with an early generation Olympus digital camera. Does this have anything to do with my problem? I must be doing something incorrectly, can anyone give me advice. T

Rob - I am working with old images from an early generation digital camera but yes the image capture date does show correctly in Lightroom for most of these images. However, I just realized thinking about your question that some of the photos could be scanned from a film image and do not how a capture date in Lightroom. The exif data is entirely different for these. The photo processors I used in those days were providing a CD along with the negatives / prints so I may have just answered my own question. Thanks for the questions and help to both.

Black frame added to my video when exporting...

I just knocked together a simple 3 minute video last night and used the share to vimeo option. For starters I don't like how this option doesn't offer to save the video locally too, and also doesn't really give you any progress updates once uploading is being done.
Anyways the footage is online and looks pretty good, however I noticed in one part there is a black screen for a frame.
I wondered if it could be my camera, so I've just checked the raw footage tonight, the original clip has no such problem.
I checked the project within FCPX and it doesn't show it there during live playback.
Finally i downloaded the full original version back off vimeo (see my earlier point about not getting a local copy!!) and checked that to see if it was perhaps vimeo's transcode that went wrong. Sadly the black frame glitch is present in the original uploaded file.
So yeah, source is fine, editor displays it fine, the stitched together movie has been given this black frame.
Not massively impressed, surely the exported output should be the main priority.
Has anyone else experienced any problems with the output from FCPX ?

how about if you just export to quicktime movie locally? Do you see the black frame then? You can also export to quicktime and select h264 as the output format, then you should be able to upload that file to vimeo. Extra step but the share to vimeo might be buggy.
Another thing to try is to delete all your render files (both event and project). Let things re-render and try the share to vimeo again.
