Applying just vignette or other develop presets in Export-Post processing

Is there anyway to apply vignette in the export phase ? There is post processing option as very last step but that seems to be just for an external application, e.g. Photoshop. As a wedding photographer you might want to provide clients both dark and white vignettes, sepia variants or black & white ones. It would be very beneficial to have these as export operations. Maybe e.g. vignette could be logical OR operation so that main develop settings are kept while just vignette is added on top.

Hamish, I've been working with individual virtual copies but not for whole set of images. Do you know if there is easy way to view/select only the virtual copies at time ?

Hi Janne - Simon er Hamish here,
There is a very simple way to see Virtual Copies only, there is a filter for them
See the corner folded over of the middle icon - Virtual copy. To find this, you need to turn on the filters
click this and set it to rated (you can see the virtual copy icon unblurred in the image below)
Now you can just select the virtual images or by toggling that icon, you can see both,
just like that.
I hope this helps you

  • Save crop in develop presets

    I've been using LR's auto-import feature for tethered capture. It would be extremely helpful to be able to save the current crop (exact location - not just ratio) to a develop preset that I can than set to be applied to all auto-imported images. I am often shooting to fit a specific layout and have to resort to sync and/or previous to get things where I need them to be. Interestingly, I find that sometimes the crop will carry over to new images, but it isn't consistent or predictable.

    Add me to the list.
    Using the 'original' size for a D300 is not what I want since the frame ratio 1.5056 rather than 1.5. This can cause some confusion later when printing. There should be a way to create a cropping preset or, lacking that capability make the crop ration 'sticky' until it is changed again.

  • I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo

    I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo several times, when I go to create the preset the adjustment brush is not an option to check. How do I add the adjustment brush to the develop presets. Thanks Ron.

    The adjustment brush cannot be added to a develop preset.
    If you can replace the adjustment brush with a gradient filter or radial filter, you can add those to a dev preset.
    If a gradient filter or radial filter is not an option for you, you can at least create an adjustment preset to remember your brush settings.

  • Import using develop presets won't work!

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded from LR2 to LR3. A lot to hate in this new version. But I suppose one needs to adjust and no doubt I will, but there is one thing that is about to drive me up the wall. Something I haven't been able to fix, so here I am, looking for a bit of help.
    Here's the problem:
    Because I don't like Lightroom's Sharpening & Noise Reduction settings, I used a preset in LR2 that I applied automatically when importing my images into LR. Now, with Lightroom 3 this just won't work properly and I get exclamation marks, indicating those images are not in the 2010 develop environment. I realised I was using my old presets, created in LR2, so that made sense. So I first deleted all my old presets and to make sure, I also deleted my metadata preset that I also apply on import. I couldn't find a way to delete those presets from within Lightroom by the way. So I just went to the library and trashed them manually...
    Next:
    I open LR3. Now I have no user presets anymore, of any kind. I then import the first image of today's shoot. In the develop module I make sure that I'm working in the 2010 process environment. I set Sharpening and Noise Reduction to what I want them to be and make them a preset. Then I made another preset for my metadata. But after importing the rest of today's shoot with the presets I have just created, it will not accept the 2010 settings and I get the exclamation mark with every image. I have checked that the culprit is not the metadata file. If I use only that to import an image and leave the Develop Settings on None, all is well, and the image is regarded as being in the 2010 process state. If I then *manually* apply my earlier created Noise Reduction/Sharpening preset, it accepts it and all is well. But as soon as I try to apply that same preset again when importing my images, then, when I go to the develop module, the image is suddenly in the 2003 environment again and I get the exclamation marks. I have tried everything I can think of but I cannot escape it any longer: I have been defeated by Lightroom 3. What on earth am I doing wrong here? Anybody?

    Yes, I get the same thing with the sliders being greyed out. Funny thing is that the sliders *are* set exactly as in my preset and when I click 'yes update' to 2010 standards, the settings don't change but only the sliders become accessible. The thing is that I really don't want to be doing that with every import, even if you can do the whole batch at once. What I don't understand is that when I import with the preset turned off and apply it in Lightroom's Develop Module, it accepts it without a problem but that when I use the same preset on import, it won't work properly.
    Now what the poster in the other thread said was:
    "When I saved a new preset and selected to also save the process version,  a line in the preset was created:  ProcessVersion = "5.7".  When I cut  and paste that into all my other presets then the sliders were all  active when I used them."
    I have no idea what he is talking about or how one would do that. When I create a preset I simply click the + sign and in the pop up window select what I want, give it a name and that's it.
    Edit: Sorry, I apparently overlooked the Process Version box in the preset panel! Must have been a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Problem solved. Thanks.

  • Develop presets: "Unavailable Preset"

    When I enable the library filter Develop Presets I see three instances of "Unavailable Preset" with counts of 1, 23, and 323. In detail these are
    (1) no presets at all, just a Clarity adjust. Click on import, then back on the Clarity --> applies correctly. Then when I refer back to the Develop Presets filter the count has changed from one to zero.
    (23) these images all reference a long-used and active preset that is just Clarity + Vibrance. Clicking on the image history shows that the final image is correct, and the before/after preset results are correct. But after cross-checking several images this way the count has now been reduced from 23 to xxxxxxxxxx
    (323) these images all reference a preset created today that I accidentally mis-applied to those images. (I'll refer to the mis-applied preset as GOOFY -- more on this below). Sampling some of these 323 images I see that the GOOFY preset is correctly applied. When I click on the previous history step, then GOOFY the "Unavailable Preset" count is decremented and a new "Custom" preset is incremented. I have never seen "Custom" preset before today.
    Now, the story of the GOOFY preset. When I could find nothing in the documentation, forum or web, I decided to try disabling the unwanted preset by these steps at the Mac OS Finder level:
    - duplicate GOOFY to GOOFY-2
    - delete GOOFY file (I hoped LR3 would remove the references to the deleted GOOFY)
    - in grid view mass-apply GOOFY-2 to the correct images
    - quit, restart LR3
    I've forgotten exactly what happened next, but for sure LR3 did not remove the non-existant preset links. For some reason I decided to rename the duplicated GOOFY-2 back to GOOFY. Now the images that correctly referenced GOOFY have two references to presets named GOOFY the oldest one is a NO-OP (does nothing), the latest one works as expected.
    Any advice would be appreciated:
    ** how to mass-delete an unwanted preset reference from a selection of images?
    ** how to clean up the above "Unavailable Preset" errors?

    When a preset is created, it stores the current level of the chosen parameters at the time of creation; in the example below, the preset which will be named CurrentPreset1 will store the current levels applied to the selected photo at the time the preset was created, and in this case will only store values corresponding to Color, Lens Corrections, and Process version.
    To update the values recorded in a preset, the various levels must be changed on the currently selected photo and then the "Update with current settings" must be selected on the preset to update. The "Update with current settings" therefore updates the preset itself with new values corresponding to the values set in the current photo and has nothing to do with how it was applied to photos in the past. A preset is not related in any way to photos on which it is applied; a preset simply applies the set values recorded in the preset on the selected photo as if these same values would be manually entered for the selected photo.

  • Doubled list of Develop Presets in Import dialog?

    Hi all, I'm running a week-old trial copy of LR3.3 on Windows, and I seem to have a doubled set of Develop Presets in the Import dialog's 'Apply During Import' dropdown menu. However, I just get the single list in the Presets panel of the Develop module.
    More specifically, in the Import dropdown menu, I get:
    An alphabetical listing of all built-in presets (with no user presets), followed by another alphabetical listing of all built-in presets, this time with the user presets.
    So for example, if there are 20 built-in presets and 1 user preset, my Import dialog dropdown has 41 lines.
    Any suggestions?

    No, factory presets are embedded inside Lightroom and cannot be removed.
    Well, actually, they can, but this is undocumented and you'll have to do it after each update.

  • Where does LR3 install develop presets?

    I ask this question because, on my system, the answer is not obvious:
    I have 8 catalogs. Everyone of them is configured to store presets within the catalog. When I examine the contents of the presets folders (different for every catalog) I find that only 1 catalog out of the 8 contains any items in its Develop Presets folder (other than the folder 'User Presets') and these develop presets appear to be the default ones that are shipped and installed with the product. However, all 8 of the catalogs list these default develop presets under the group 'Lightroom Presets' in the left hand panel in Develop mode.
    The 'global' lightroom develop presets location, at ~user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets\Lightroom Presets is empty. However the parent folder (Develop Presets) does contain folders for the 3 volumes of the free OnOne PerfectPresets as well as a User Presets folder (not empty). But, those OnOne presets are available only in 1 of the 8 catalogs, and not the same catalog as that referred to above.
    How do catalogs, which do not have the Lightroom default develop presets present, find them?
    Why can't catalogs find the free OnOne presets which are installed at the architected system (or global) location or any of the User Presets at this location?
    Finally, I do have a 'spare' Lightroom Settings folder which does not appear to be connected to any catalog: when I rename it to a garbage name I can find no immediate problem in any of my 8 catalogs. Is it safe to delete this spare Lightroom Settings folder?

    XEyedBear wrote:
    I have 8 catalogs. Everyone of them is configured to store presets within the catalog.
    This is where I think you are misunderstanding how the "Store presets with catalog" option works. For a start, you cannot configure an individual catalog to use this option.....it is a global Lightroom preference which applies to any and every catalog on that specific system. Once you have slected that option, the effect is that Lightroom will create a "Lightroom Settings" folder in the same folder as the catalog.....so if you have 8 catalogs, and they're all in their own individual folder, you'll eventually end up with 8 x "Lightroom Settings" folders. Keep all 8 catalogs (and preview sub-folders) in the one folder, and you'll get away with just one "Lightroom Settings" folder.
    A couple of other things to understand about this option:
    1. On initial creation, the "Lightroom Settings" folder contains only a subset of the main settings folders contained at the default user appdata location....and all the sub-folders are initially empty. Lightroom does NOT copy any presets (Lightroom's own or your User Presets) to the equivalent sub-folder in "Lightroom Settings".
    2. Furthermore, from the second that you select that option, Lightroom will no longer look at the default location for any User Presets that you had.....so the immediate effect is that the User Presets 'disappear' from the Develop Module (they haven't really been deleted, it's just that Lightroom no longer sees them).
    3. When you create a new User Preset after setting that option, it will be stored in the appropriate sub-folder within the "Lightroom Settings" which is specific to the catalog in use at the time, but would not be copied to any other "Lightroom Settings" folders. Easy in that circumstance to end up with each catalog having different user presets available to it, and easy to see maybe why the OnOne presets are only available to one catalog.
    4. And not all Lightroom settings are 'switched' to the "Lightroom Settings" folder, some remain in the default location.
    To be honest, unless you have a really good reason to store different presets with different catalogs, I think you're making a big mistake in selecting the 'Store Presets with catalog' option in your multiple catalog situation. I did a write-up on this subject not so long ago for the folks over at Victoria's Lightroom Forums, you might find it worth a read:
    http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14169-What-is-the-purpose-of-the-quot-Store- Presets-with-Catalog-quot-option
    Hope this helps....

  • LR3/LR4 Develop Presets Behavior

    I'm a little bit confused about LR3 Develop Presets that do not include the Process Version information when applied to an image that is in PV2012. Let's assume a Develop Preset for Clarity +25. Here are the steps and the results:
    1. Image PV2012 - apply Preset - Clarity slider stays on 0 and it looks like Clarity has not been applied to the image
    2. Change image to PV2010 in Camera Calibration - Clarity slider changes to +25 - Clarity is applied
    3. Change image back to PV2012 - Clarity slider stays at +25 and the rest of the new PV2012 settings are applied as well
    So, is this the correct behavior? Shouldn't the Preset alrady be applied in step 1 ?
    What am I missing here?
    If the Preset contains the PV information everyhting works "as designed" with the sliderers reverting back to PV2010 if applied to a PV2012 image.
    Is the lesson here to always include PV information into any Develop Preset?
    Andre

    I can follow you technically. But from a user perspectice this is getting difficult to manage. How do I know which preset will work and which doesn't? Right now it seems, its trial and error. And if I switch between PV versions the setting will be applied but it won't be the same because Clarity2012 is different. Don't get me wrong, it is absolutely fine to improve image processing, but it would be nice to make these changes more obvious to the end-user who might not be so technically inclined. I could think of a little warning saying: You're trying to apply a preset setting that does not work in PV2012, or something along this line. It would be even nicer if Adobe would provide something like an Preset upgrade utility, which would help users to migrate to the new PV.
    I just try to figure this out so that I know what to tell my students at the community college where I'm teaching LR and where I'll be facing these same questions.

  • Develop presets have different effects after saving file as either .tif or .psd

    When I open a raw .dng file in Photoshop and MAKE NO CHANGES and then save it (either .tif or .psd), the resulting photo appears to be identical to the original raw .dng file. HOWEVER when I then apply development presets (whether my own or Lightroom presets), the presets have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT effect on the .tif or .psd file than the .dng file. More precisely: the .tif or .psd files have significantly more contrast, saturation and are significantly more exposed. And in fact, despite using the exact same preset, the histograms for each of the pics are different. In addition, the same preset on the .dng file treats colors differently than on the .tif or .psd file. After much experimenting and comparing of each development module and each individual slider, the sliders that seem to behave differently are Brightness, Contrast and Saturation. With each of these sliders, however, the difference in effect is only minimal and should not affect hue, but when applying a preset that affects hue, the actual change in hue is different for the .dng file vs the .tif. or .psd file. All of this even though all of the presets are the same. Whatsmore, applying Auto Tone on the two apparently identical files results in dramatically different affects: the .tif or .psd file is properly corrected, whereas the .dng file has its Brightness decreased and Contrast increased, i.e. the Auto Tone moves the sliders different for the .dng file than for the .tif or .psd file. Is there a solution to this problem?

    I'm one of those who eventually migrated from PS to LR. I used to do a layered TIFF for every selected image. With 17-21MP raw files, that amounted to usually between 180-250MB files in addition to the raw. After completely changing my approach, for 99% of my work now I only work from the raw file, including printing / generating web JPEGS. This was really enabled by having the spotting and local editing at the raw file level. But pretty much no more TIFFs as working / final images, just raws with settings. Obviously different people have different requirements, but it's well worth looking into the switch in approach, even if you still end up using PS / Bridge / ACR.

  • Develop Preset for Import in LR4.2 (iMac 10.8.2)

    Can any please tell me how to set up a preset on the Import page (there are some there now) that I can use when I import my photos into LR. I am tired of going to Lens Correction in the Develop mod to put the nikon lens in that I used for the shoot. It is always turned off and I would like to have it activated when I import my shots. I know that while in the Develop mod, I can change it for one photo and then use "sync" to have it address all the other photos.  But then it is a pain in the butt. There must be a way of doing it on import and that is the reason I am asking for your help. Either that or else have it recognize the lens that I used automatically.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    Hi Tunney,
    I would second JimHess: of course you could employ a develop preset during Import, but then all images would be labelled as having develop adjustments. And you do not see where you have invested develop work already.
    I consider the Adobe defaults just as a starting suggestion, which may or may not apply to my taste per camera.
    So I would rather tweak the default develop settings: just make sure that you include only stuff that virtually applies to ALL of your images.
    I, too, have included automatic lens correction and defringe edges.
    First decide in your catalog settings if you want the develop defaults specific per camera type or serial number or even ISO ( a nightmare if you ever use auto-ISO).
    Then select a sample image, goto develop module and set only the stuff that should apply to all imported images. Then save them as new default settings.
    You do nit change anything during import then.
    If you hit the Reset button it will always revert to these defaults.

  • Trouble moving Develop Presets to new Vista machine

    I have moved my library from an XP machine to a Vista machine, and am losing a lot of work. What I think is happening is that my images are "detached" from a Preset.
    Many of my images have a Develop Preset applied upon import. So the first step in the edit list is Import/XXXX Preset.
    I have moved the images and the catalog to the new machine. The preview image looks right, but as soon as I do something to trigger a refresh, the image turns red and loses its rotation. It seems that it is applying all of the steps, except the first one. I am guessing it cannot "find" the preset to reapply it.
    I have moved the Presets to the corresponding folder, but b/c Vista renamed somethings, it is not the same path to get to the Preset.
    In WinXP:
    C:\Documents and settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets
    In Vista:
    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets
    Maybe I will create a folder in Vista with the XP Path name to fake it out?
    I can probably go back to my original machine and try some things, but it will be a lot of work. My edits were not saved to XMP, the edits are in teh LR database.
    It's not a problem I expect can be solved here, but if anyone has idea, let me know.
    Rob.

    I know... it is difficult, because there are a lot of variables.
    New point (and probably key) -- The ones that I am having trouble with are RAW+JPG and I just realized that in the new installation, even thought both RAW and JPG files are present, the JPGs are being displayed. So the JPGs are getting all of the edit steps that the NEFs should be getting.
    I just caught that now, not sure what I will do next.

  • Where are all the Develop Presets located?

    In the Develop Preset folder (Vista: C:\Users\Howie\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets) there are only a few presets listed instead of all the creative and sharpening presets as seen in the Quick Develop "saved preset" drop down. Where are all the other presets located?
    Note: my goal is to look at each creative preset to see just what settings are being applied.

    Don - that is not what he is asking.
    Howie - I have no idea where they are stored on Windows - from a quick exploration I guess they are in the Application .exe file. On the Mac you can get into this, but I'm not sure you can on a PC
    However the simplest thing to do is Apply a Preset and Note what is does in the Develop Module. That will be what the Preset is trying to do.
    Alternatively Apply the Preset and Create a New Preset with a Different Name, it will have the same settings.

  • Presets used for Printing / Relative Develop Presets

    Hi
    I am still not able to produce accurate colors when printing on my HP Color Laserjet CP3505X (the printer does not allow me to disable color management, and yes, I am using a calibrated monitor). Even with the sRGB profiles mentioned here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2165085#2165085) and printer settings on sRGB I still have a color shift in my prints.
    But I could (by experimenting) find out, what corrections have to be applied to the images for them to come out right in printing (e.g. Temperature +600, Tint +15).
    Is there a way to have such a correction applied while printing, like a preset used only when printing?
    Or, if not, is there a way to define a develop preset which acts relative (cumulative), meaning that I only code the difference of what I want to be added to the rest of the development settings? Such a preset then could be applied as the last action before printing.
    Either method would partially solve my problem.

    I know that this is the purpose of a printer profile. What I would need is a correction (preset) on top of the profile used.
    II. Create a real printer profile. You can either do this using a higher-end calibrator or using one of several services. Usually you download a file. Print it. Mail it to them and they send you back a profile that will work for the combination of ink/paper/printing settings that you used. See for example:
    http://www.inkjetart.com/custom_profiles/
    Or this websearch.
    Since I cannot switch off color management with my printer, I am using the sRGB profile you recommended in this post of yours and let the printer work with sRGB.
    I even would be able to create a printer profile myself (I own a Spyder3Print™ to calibrate a printer). But this involves being able to disable color management in the printer (driver) completely, which seems impossible with the CP3505X .
    So what I would need is a combination of the sRGB profile I use, corrected by lets say 600K temperature and 15 ticks tint. But I have no idea how to get there.

  • Develop presets stopped working

    Having just aquired LR4.1, I was going through the various develop presets to see the various effects available.  It took several clicks to open one of the folders, when open I was able to preview the colour effects and preview.  I shut down that folder, and was not able to open any other folders, let alone the folder I just used.  I managed to import the presets into a folder, view them, close the folder, and again unable to open the folder I just previewed.  I am using Win 7 64-bit. 

    Since these are 3rd party presets you had better contact the manufacturer of these presets.
    Since the Lr presets are working fine, this is most probably not a Lr issue.
    But before going the - probably frustrating - way of contacting the 3rd party manufactureres, I'd try to un-install and re-install these presets - not Lr!

  • Lost LR5 Develop presets

    When I downloaded LR5, I deleted some of the LR5 develop presets.  How can I retrieve them or do I have to re-download LR5 again, and if I do that, do I lose any work I have done in LR5?

    LR 5 presets from Adobe are built-in so cannot be removed.  User-created (like ones you made or downloaded or purchased from a third party) can be deleted.  Which type of preset are you referring to?
    One special circumstance with LR is that you can store the presets with the catalog or not, and depending on what that preference is set to, your presets may just be in the other location if it was set differently when you created your presets.
    Give an example of what presets you feel you’ve deleted and want back?

Maybe you are looking for
