Adobe Lightroom 4 - Some Questions / Help Needed

Hi everyone.
After advice from several experts, I've just purchased Adobe Lightroom 4. I've already got Photoshop CS5, but I was looking for something proper to organise my photos, plus I found Lightroom easier to do the sort of editing I am wanting to do. Now, I only really use photoshop for things like colour pops, or really in-depth editing. Anyway, I'm loving Lightroom so far, but there is some stuff I'm not very sure of, so I'd appreciate some help
1. Organising
Firstly, I'm not really sure how to organise. At the moment, I've just got lots of folders with random events in My Pictures on W7, so I might have a folder called April 11, which contains photos from that month but that might have been a wedding or an easter holiday or both. So it doesn't really work. \
I understand in Lightroom what catalogs are. But I know enough to know that I don't want to group mine into those, its getting too complicated. What I don't know though is the difference between a collection and a folder. Basically, I'm wanting to reimport and reorganise all my photos, so I want to put them into "events" as such like you can do on iPhoto on a mac, so I would have "France Summer Holiday 11" for example, or "Mia's Wedding". I'm not really sure on the best way to do this ...?
2. Editing
I've played around quite a bit so far, and I really like what I've seen. On a lot of photos, I've made a lot of changes. But from what I can see, these changes are stored merely in Lightroom itself. For example, at the moment I'm importing photos from my external disk into Lightroom, which then saves them in C://My Pictures/Lightroom/Pictures . When I go look at these photos in windows explorer which I know I have edited, it doesn't show any of the changes or editing I've done on them. Now I realise this is me being stupid, but why doesn't it? Supposing I then want to email that photo to a friend that I have edited? How would I do that? I don't want to have to open lightroom and export every single photo I edit? There must be a simpler way?
Likewise for backing up, because all my files are in subfolders within C:// My pictures / Lightroom / Pictures, to back up I was simply going to set up windows to copy that latter folder onto my external HDD everytime I plugged it in. This would be pointless however if it isn't physically overwriting the original photo with my edited version?
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night. I spent ages adjusting colours and lighting and so on, and now it looks great. But I would also like to save a copy of that photo with the "old age photo" effect preset on. Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:
4. Simple question - how do I add tags, keywords or comments if I haven't done it on import?
5. My camera doesn't have built in GPS. Is it possible for me to manually geotag photos (in a batch, say for a Summer Holiday to NY), could I manually add a geotag for all these photos?
6. I also forgot to add copyright information on import for some, is it possible to do this after import and how?
7. I normally shoot in JPEG. I probably shoot shoot in RAW as everyone tells me to do so. Are there any significant advantages in terms of quality, and for editing with?
Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.

Hi William,
1. Organising
Firstly, I'm not really sure how to organise.

I am not so sure if you understand *catalogs*.
You need a catalog, exactly 1 in my opinion. A catalog is a database. The Lightroom database, where records about your images are stored, including the pointers to your images, which are not inside a catalog! LR backups just does the backup of the catalog (i.e. a file ending .lrcat). You need to take care separately that your real images are backed up !
Inside your LR database the best way to organize is via collections - this will give you what you want with "France summer holiday 11" etc.
Folders are relatively unimportant, just storage buckets. They should be *handy portions*, I would prefer them with below 3000 images each, as there currently some bugs to those bigger ones.
Before you start with LR, you can organize your pictures in Mac Finder / WindowsExplorer.
Or you could do it with the help of LR, by copying your images over during import into the destination folders (and deleting today's folders afterwards after having verified that everything is fine).
A simple date-based structure will do, I'd recommend a root parent folder like "LR images", underneath one folder per year (\2010\, \2011\, \2012\...) and underneath them either
just one folder per month (LR can auto-create them for you)
or you create the folders in import dialog as e.g. "YYYY-MM-DD description of shoot", to have a mini-diary overview also in your OS.
Apart from that you create collections, either *dumb ones*, where you drag images into, or smart ones, where you specify criteria according to which they get auto-filled.

LR will never overwrite your original photos.
You can save most of the catalog content into the xmp-part of the original photo, which is either a sidecar-file (.xmp) or part of the file format, like for DNG, TIFF, PSD, JPG. To do so you select the image in LR and hit <ctrl> s. Or you set it up for continuous update, which creates a lot of operations while you play back and forth in develop.
I do that on my own, typically twice per file: once I am done with develop, once I am done with keywording and other metadata update.
LR contains records about your images, i.e. a set of instructions how they are to be interpreted. That is all.
So of course you need LR to export the result of these instructions, which is actually pretty quick.
To backup your images you need to do that just once, plus you backup your LR catalog. Or if you save xmp to the files, you can do another backup once xmp is ready.
I would not consider this pointless. You just have to think that there are 2 places with data for your images: the images themselves and a database with interpretation instructions.

Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night.

Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
Yes, this is one of LR's beauties: you create a so-called *virtual copy*, which is just a 2nd record for the same original image file with different interpretation settings, like black-and-white, a different crop size, different development etc. You can have as many virtual copies as you like, and you'll see them as additional thumbnails.
Virtual copies are not saveable into xmp, though. There is another concept which is saveable into xmp: snapshots. but these are different states in develop history, and you do not see outside develop module that you have several.
If you export virtual copies e.g. to jpg one file per virutal copy will be created.
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:

Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.
ad 4: you use the library module, metadata panel to enter.
ad 5: you use the map module. Either you manually drop your images on a map, or you have a separate GPS track to load and have LR assign via matching time-stamps.
ad 6: like 4
ad 7: You don't need JPG from your camera, you can achieve better results viy LR from RAW. Yes, there are significant advantages as to editing headroom.
Overall, may I suggest my favorite learning material for LR? First watch Julieanne's Tutorial Videos.
Then go play and use Victoria Bampton's eBook or paper copy of her "Missing FAQs to LR4": http://www.lightroomqueen.com/books/adobe-lightroom-4-missing-faq/
Have fun,

Does Adobe Lightroom 3 have polarizer effect as Aperture 3?

I have been using A3's polarizer effect for nature and scenery photography, which is perfect. Today I tried Adobe Lightroom 3 in my office for the first time to make a comparison. To be frank, Lightroom 3's much touted noise reduction works better than A3. But I could not find the Polarizer readjustment function in Lightroom 3 to enrich the blue sky.
I may be wrong as Lightroom boasts being more professional than A3. I know there are many shutterbugs who use both A3 and Lightroom 3. Does anyone know the answer?

OK, I have posted the question to the Adobe Lightroom forum and carefully avoided mentioning Aperture 3, but have not got an answer yet. So I did some more research.
http://www.garyluhm.net/bio/tips_0608.html
[Polarize that sky (without a polarizer)]
I have found another solution. But to me, it's still confusing and a little complicated.
It is explained like the following:
" For the polarized effect, I scroll down panel to color adjustments, choose HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance), and click on luminance. I then click on the round circle thing in the upper left of the color box, move it into the blue sky area, hold down the left mouse button and pull downward. This reduces the brightness of the blues, and the sky goes dark as if polarized. I stop at -70, a big reduction (image 3). The white mountains now glisten against the deep blue. I could also have used the blue slider, but the spot selection tool I did use is a handy instrument.For the polarized effect, I scroll down panel to color adjustments, choose HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance), and click on luminance.

Blocking bug with 10.8.3+Adobe Lightroom+Canon iPF5000 (but workaround found)

Hi all,
since I have updated my MacBook Pro (early 2011 model) with 10.8.3, I have a blocking bug with Adobe Lightroom (either 4.3 or 4.4) for launching prints on my Canon iPF5000 (firmware 1.33, either MacOS driver 2.67 or 3.06, connection through USB).
When I was under 10.8.2 with the Canon's driver 3.06, everything works fine.
Basically, after clicking Print a Copy or Print... in Lightroom, the file spooled to the driver stays in MacOS printer queue. Within the printer queue window, the printer is in pause mode, and each time I try to resume the printing processing, the driver put it on hold immediately. When I look into the history on the Console, the driver complains about an unknown error... The data stay within the driver, as my Canon iPF5000 "Data" led indicator stays unlit.
My print settings are 600dpi or 300dpi, print sharpening Standard/Glossy, 16 bit output. And Color managed by printer (because I let the Canon driver managing my B&W prints).
Strangely enough, when I launch a print from Preview application, the drivers does its job and sends it successfully to my Canon iPF5000...
As this was driving me crazy, I have tried a clean install of MacOS 10.8.3 (as 10.8.2 is no more available from Apple servers...). No success, same blocking issue.
Eventually, I've found the workaround: using the imagePROGRAF Advanced Preview. You have to click on "Print..." in Lightroom in order to see the driver settings window, and then check the "Preview before printing" option in the main tab of the driver settings. Then I can preview my Lightroom printing work and then launch successfully my printing.
Simple workaround, but very strange bug...
For me, the root cause could be multiple and not very obvious.
Is it Mac OS 10.8.3 ? But why can I make prints from Preview application for instance, and not from LR ?
Is it the Canon driver ? But this lead me to the same question.
Is it Lightroom ? Does it send corrupted data that make the driver crazy but not the imagePROGRAF Advanced Preview ?
So, if any user of Canon iPF5000 + Mac OS 10.8 + Lightroom is around, please share your experience.
And if any Apple, Adobe or Canon engineer read this, please try to fix this.
Happy printing,
Amaury

It's different how applications write print data. If you use Advanced Preview from the driver then it calculates already the output which afterwards is only sent to the printer.
Have you once tried to print with fast graphic process switched off (option of advanced settings)?
Hope it helps

Setting Initial Values in Sharpening Panel

I have found that one of the reasons that LR3 Process 2010 sharpening seems to be a problem is that the initial values in the Sharpening panel in Develop has a setting of 50 for Detail. Aside from the fact that the Detail adjustment isn't even available in LR2, I have found that a setting of 50 almost always gives a "crinkle" effect (for want of a better term) clearly visible at 100%. This can usually be correct by lowering the Detail value, often to 0.
Is there a way to preset the Sharpening values (currently Level 0, Radius 1.0, Detail 50, and Mask 0 -- at least as I'm seeing it) to my own preferred settings? Seems to me it may be related to camera-specific presets, but I can't find anything (yet). For example, I'd like mine set to 25,1.0,0,0. Or, am I completely missing something here?
dds

Default settings are set by camera model, so you can have as many different default settings as you want. Additionally, the dialog box that appears when you set camera raw defaults has a button to enable you to restore the Adobe Camera Raw defaults.

Hey, I have three cameras and when I click set default, it shows what camera the picture was taken. So my question is what happen to the other two cameras that I have. Especially when it say that this action is not undoable.
Thanks.

Adobe Lightroom Issues

Has anyone had any issues running Adobe Lightroom v1.2 in Leopard? Most notably not allowing you to get into the print module.

Yeah, the Print module doesn't work at all for me. (v1.2)
There's the odd graphical glitch here and there, mostly in the History panel in the Develop module, but everything else seems OK.

Adobe Lightroom 3.4 update process

Apparently, Adobe Lightroom uses Adobe Camera RAW for raw image processing just like Photoshop, however unlike Photoshop, every time that a new camera is added or a bug fixed in Lightroom's raw image processor, Adobe released an entirely new Lightroom application update weighing in at more than 200 megabytes which I have to download and install.
Given that Adobe Photoshop uses Adobe Camera RAW as a dynamic linked library why can't Adobe Lightroom also isolate its version of Camera RAW into a dynamic library that can be updated independently of the main Lightroom application? Doing this would make it much easier to add additional cameras to Lightroom without having to both download 200MB and install a new application. Each time I install a new Lightroom update, the install process leaves behind the directory for the old version since Adobe prefers to create minor version specific program files directories and it screws up Windows Vista/7 functions such as the Photo import dialog which now shows multiple entries for Adobe Lightroom (once for each time I updated). I can't figure out how to delete the multiple entries or which one to click on.
Now don't get me started on the basic performance of Lightroom 3.3 on anything but a recent highly spec'd laptop. On my now low-end dual core 32bit Windows 7 laptop with 3GB of RAM It takes about 8 to ten seconds *per image* to get the "loading" message to go away when an image is selected in the Develop panel. This occurs even if I continually keep switching between the same two images -- as if Lightroom is not caching anything at all even though I have enlarged my Camera RAW cache to 10GB.

Unfortunately everything is going against you. The main reason why the provide it as a single file is for several reasons:
1) You can update from any version in one click and voila! you're done.
2) Providing one file is less confusing for the masses and less tech support issues in regards to upgrade paths.
3) The installation replaces every file so as to not cause any versioning issues which might arise if you are not upgrading from the previous version (yes I know there is ways around this but they're trying to make it simplistic).
4) Helps maintain the ability to supply a demo version of the latest version plus protect their system because if you have a "dodge" copy and you're upgrading, then it's going to have a tanty at you.
And so on... there are always reasons for doing things and Adobe decided that it's just better this way for everyone involved.
With the versioning issue, this is not true. If you look inside the directory you should only find empty folders. If they are empty, then just simply remove them. If there is still files, then you have a serious problem somewhere and I'd suggest you try to do a full clean install to fix that problem. I just updated to 3.4 last night and went through to clean out the empty 3.4 RC directories. Never had an issue upgrading and I always use the RC before it goes final.
When it comes to your computer then I can only say that with a forever increasing volume of photographs being catalogued you are going to experience slowdown not to mention all the changes which you have applied to your photographs. No matter how big your cache is, you are going to be limited by sheer grunt power and disk performance.
If you want to get a performance boost then I recommend swapping out that horribly slow 5400 (or slower) rpm hard drive in the notebook and put in a SSD instead. This will give your notebook an awesome new lease on life and Lightroom will be much more responsive. If you place your catalogs onto the SSD and have separate high speed storage for your photographs then it should perform much better.
Other than that the only other option is to go to a dedicated PC or Mac for your photography needs and move on. Notebooks are really good but I've never viewed them as a platform to perform like a dedicated PC or Mac no matter how much money you throw at it.
Just be warned that a large Raw cache is a double edge knife. Too small is ineffective and Too large is only going to exacerbate your issue.

Lightroom 4 Basic Panel in Dev Module has disappeared!

How do I turn on and off the Baisc Control Panel ( color Temp, exposure, contrasts, shadow, Higlight, white, blacks, etc) ?    Somehow I have managed to turn it off, so it is not in the Right hand side panel under the Histogram. Insteasd the first Panel is TONE CURVE
Any ideas on how to turn the Basic Panel back on?

Thank you so very very very much!!!!!

Bridge CS3 Workspace Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery Creator

A while back I was looking around for an easy way to create sharp looking image galleries with minimal work, and I came across a workspace plug in for Bridge Cs3. If I remember correctly, it was labeled Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery something or another. Anyway, I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, but for the life of me I can find no trace of that handy workspace plug in. Does anyone know where I can find it? It had a bunch of customizable flash galleries as well as a customizable html gallery as well. Any help would be appreciated!

Do you mean AMG( Adobe Media Gallery)? You could download from LAB.

Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Panel Issues

First, let me say that I've been an Adobe user for more than 18 years.
A while back (about two weeks ago) I went as usual to launch the little Adobe Creative Cloud desktop panel that shows what's installed, updated, available apps and available updates. Instead of it launching as normally, I was told that I had to LOG IN. I'm pretty sure I did just that with my Adobe user name and pwd, but suddenly found myself no longer within the little app management panel, but instead on a screen that told me I could drag and drop files into the cloud there. I did not want to drag and drop any files at all! What I wanted was to use my CC desktop apps management panel so I could INSTALL Dreamweaver CC using the CC desktop apps management panel.
So I dismissed (exited out of) that "drag your files to here" screen. And now every time I launch the desktop panel, it asks me to log in, and every time I try, it comes back with "You've been signed out / Please sign in to continue."
I have been around that loop of changing the password several times over now, with no change to the behavior of the CC desktop apps management panel. I simply CANNOT log in there any more ... What's perplexing is that I never HAD to log in to it before, either! I had been using it for MONTHS since I first installed Adobe CC, and it showed me my apps list and available updates and all that just fine for quite a while, but now it has its head stuck in a corner.
Now when I launch it, I cannot get the panel to display my apps list as it should, but instead it keeps asking me to log in. I have "changed the password" multiple times now.
Thing is, I can log in with that same user id and pwd to my CC account online through the Adobe web site, but the little desktop apps management panel is no longer usable.
Can/should I uninstall and reinstall the apps management panel? Can I do that with the management panel ALONE and NOT cause problems with the CC programs that I DO have installed already (such as Illustrator CC, InDesign CC, and Photoshop CC?)
And why does Adobe support keep closing my case at the same time that I'm pleading with them to HELP me resolve this problem?
Should I simply uninstall the desktop apps management panel and forget about trying to use that and instead control all my CC apps directly from my account via the Adobe website instead? CAN I do this?
Two weeks now and still not resolved.

Using Adobe Lightroom with OSX Photos

I love the iCloud integration of the new Photos app, it's really great having all my photos available on my phone.
I also love the editing capabilities of Adobe Lightroom.
Has anyone figured out a way of using Photos for the iCloud integration and Lightroom for the editing and post processing?

Terence Devlin wrote:
See what I mean:
there is no way to sensibly use the two apps together,
Yes, from the Photos + Lightroom together perpsective.
But taking it back to the root, what is the best way to have the same benefits offered by photos (tight integration between iOS and LR)? If Adobe weren't so stingy with their cloud storage, it would be a lot simpler answer because you'd just stick the their storage and product suite.
How can someone who takes a fair # of photos on iOS get those seamlessly to LR and conversely have access to their photo catalogues on iOS when they want to show them? I think the answer may be CC Photography + Smugmug but there are pitfalls to the smugmug iOS client (does not background sync, nowhere near as good as Photos, does not integrate with other apps where you may want to use the photos collection).

Using Time Machine to back up an external hard drive dedicated to Adobe Lightroom 5

I recently began to use Adobe Lightroom 5 (I continue to use Aperture, as I have for years). All of the Lightroom image files and catalogs are on one external hard drive, which I use on my iMac, my Macbook Pro, and in the digital labs of a school where I'm taking a course.
Not yet having developed a protocoI for creating a back up of all my Lightroom image files and catalogs that I could use in the event of my Lightroom-dedicated drive's failure, I have just done a drag and drop of the whole drive's contents to another external drive (which, as it happens, I have been using for some time for my Aperture vaults).
I am thinking of removing the dedicated Lightroom drive from the excluded list of my iMac's Time Machine (which uses yet another external drive), so that I can easily and automatically create back ups of changes to the Lightroom external drive without having to do the cumberome and inelegant drag and drop at some yet-to-be-determined frequency. (The Macbook Pro uses a Time Capsule for its Time Machine; I envision using only the iMac's TM external drive for Lightroom backups.)
What is the simplest and most desirable way to actually execute the backup? I envision that it would be this: that every time I want to do a Lightroom back up, I'd mount the Lightroom external drive on the iMac (or keep it mounted if my work session has just been on the iMac) and then ask Time Machine to "Back Up Now." When the backup is finished, I'd dismount the dedicated Lightroom drive.
A related question is what if anything would be the effect on my Lightroom work if a Time Machine back up began while I was working in Lightroom? Or if for some reason an hourly TM back up began and I needed to quickly end a Lightroom session before the backup was completed?

If it is here – I cannot find it anywhere, and I don’t believe that I ever installed it.
I have ordered the upgrade to Lightroom 5.0 and figured that I should install Lightroom 1.0 first.
How can I solve this problem

Actually when LR 5 starts for the first time after it is installed it will have a dialog to Buy, Try or Enter a serial number. You select Enter a serial number and enter the LR 5 serial number first and then because it is an upgrade serial number it will ask for the serial number of a Previous version. You then enter the LR 1 serial number.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.
