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?
System: Win7 pro 64 (current), 4.2 GHz i7, 12GB, Lightroom 5.7.

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...

How do you apply the school proxy settings to the ipad to filter website searches?

How do you apply the school proxy settings to the ipad to filter website searches?

Hi Stebop1987,
You will want to apply a configuration profile with Global HTTP proxy settings to your proxy server. Use Apple Configurator or an MDM to deploy the configuration profile to your fleet of iPads. I recommend you contact your web filter provider for detials on what proxy details to enter in the configuration profile (type, server, port, username, password).
Hope this helps!

Applying filter settings to multiple objects

Is it possible like in Microsoft Word, Excel et al using the

Yup! Apply what you want to one object, then copy the object,
then
shift+ctrl+alt+v the other objects to paste attributes (or

Why do I get an "X" when I apply an effect filter FCE?

When I apply an effect filter in FCE an big X appears on my clip. Is it something I am doing wrong or failed to do. I purchased my FCE direct from Apple about a year ago. I was under the impression that effects came with it, if I am mistaken please correct my thinking and provide me some guidance on what to do, if anything can be done at all. I may just be ignorant to this and I apologize for that.
Thank You

Effects do come with it. If an "x" happens when applying a filter, try trashing preferences:

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.

Why do music files get corrupted in iTunes?

Why do music files get corrupted in iTunes? All kinds of files;( mp3, mp4, aac, etc., either purchased from iTunes, Store, downloaded from online, or uploaded from an audio disc) SUDDENLY GET CORRUPTED AND STOP PLAYING! Even if I delete the file from my iTunes and then re-open it from the source, it appears to be corrupted. My system has been thoroughly scanned and does not have and never has hAd, a virus. Music files should not have a shelf life. They're just non-living pieces of information. So why should they suddenly go bad? It is unacceptable that over the past year I have had to delete many files from my iTunes library and find some other source for the same song. It has been an exhausting headache and an exasperating waste of my time.

this is not necessarily the case, I had an itunes library go bad on me. I noticed the corrupt files on my ipod, they were either skipping real bad or sounded like there was some crazy modulation filter applie. Anyways, i went to iTunes and the files were bad there, so I played them in WMP, also bad, so obviously it was a file issue, BUT, what was the source of the corruption.......also, this happened ONLY to mp3s, no other audio file.......so i had backups and copied the bad files from a dvd and played them in WMP, files were good, then i import them to iTunes, and the files are crap again, so I tried just adding to library, still bad. So the file was fine before, once iTunes touched it, the file went bad, I **** you not. So I uninstalled iTunes from my PC, downloaded the newest version and reinstalled, same problems, so i continued trying with a different version, and making sure all registry entries were cleared before installing etc. NOTHING, so in the end i had to start using Winamp and all those files have not since caused me problems. So NO, it does not have to be hard drive issues, assess your own situation and you should be able to figure out if it is your HDD. My problem seemed to be iTunes library corrupting my metadata. However, I could never get it to work. I am glad to say I have since abandoned my PC and bought a new iMac on which i once again happily running iTunes with all the same audio files as before

FAQ: What is a Preset, or How do I get that same effect?

What are presets?
Lightroom presets can be your most powerful ally in making your workflow travel at the speed of light. While most of the time "presets" means Develop Presets, these saved settings fall under the following categories:
Auto Layout Presets
Develop Presets
Export Presets
External Editor Presets
FTP Presets
Import Presets
Local Adjustment/Graduated Filter Presets
Metadata Presets
Filename and Text Template Presets
Where are my presets stored?
From Preference and other file locations:
Mac OS X: Installed and custom presets and templates have filenames ending in .lrtemplate and are located in the [user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom folder.
Windows XP: Installed and custom presets and templates have filenames ending in .lrtemplate and are located in folders in the Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
Win Vista/7: Installed and custom presets and templates have filenames ending in .lrtemplate and are located in folders in the Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder.

SQL Anywhere 11 databases are getting corrupt

Hi
We are having problems with databases that are getting corrupted.
We have a server that runs a SQL Anywhere 11 database. (the consolidated database)
Beside that, we have about 15 remote databases that run on the laptops of our mobile workforces.
To keep all databases in sync, we have setup a two-way server-to-laptop replication.
For the replication process we use “SQL Remote”.
Each laptop should replicate his data once in about 1 or 2 weeks.
For exchanging the messages we use the message type “file”.
This year we already experienced 6 times that a remote database got corrupt after replication. (after running dbremote.exe).
The log file of the dbremote utility does NOT show any errors, the replication seems to be finished without any problems.
But after this, it’s not possible anymore to connect to the database, because of the following assertion error:
[Sybase][ODBC Driver][SQL Anywhere]Internal database error *** ERROR *** Assertion failed: 201501 (11.0.1.2376)
Page 0x0:0x7182d1 for requested record not a table page -- transaction rolled back
Error code=-301
SQL state=HY000
Can someone tell me more about this error?
What goes wrong and why?
Or does someone has some tips on how to prevent this or tips on how I can do some analyzing myself to see what exactly got broken in the database?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Krenton,
Page 0x0:0x7182d1 for requested record not a table page -- transaction rolled back
Error code=-301
SQL state=HY000
Can someone tell me more about this error?
Specifically, the page at offset 0x7182d1 in database (So if you have a 4KB page size, this would be byte offset 7439057 x 4096 = 30470377472 into the database) in 0x0 (the main database running) has a page header that indicates that the data on the page is not table data. We don't know what it is, but the signature for table information connected to the table you're scanning is 'not as it should be'.
What goes wrong and why?
In the real world, lots of things can go wrong. I list some of the possible things on this question here on the SQL Anywhere forum. This list can include software bugs, but can also include instances where the media is not respecting write-through or write-ordering - see http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34090 (SQL Anywhere I/O Requirements for Linux and Windows) for more details.
There are also known instances where Intel drivers are not set with the correct write-through settings. The details of this are in the documentation: DocCommentXchange (Improving Robustness on Intel storage drivers).
Technical Support should still provide assistance. If the problem is a newly-discovered bug in SQL Anywhere 11, their advice will be to apply a more recent EBF or upgrade to a new version. However, that is unlikely in this case.
Breck is correct - it would probably be best to take a look at the database file in technical support for more clues as to what's happening here. With the current information, it's hard to say more than "something was not correct at the time the page was looked at by the database server."

Starting to get corrupted files

Since I upgraded to Lightroom 4 last week, I've had two occasions where Windows 7 operating system at boot tells me I have corrupt files on the separate 2TB drive I use to store Lightroom catalog and photos on. One difference between my LR3 vs LR4 settings was that I turned on the option to write XMP data to files per advice from Adobe evangelist that this is a better backup strategy in case LR catalog gets corrupt. Wondering whether the LR 4 background process to write out XMP is causing the problem.
It might be a self inflicted wound, as last night, I was importing iPad screenshot PNG files into Bridge, batch renaming them and then exporting them to hard drive as JPG (when is Lightroom going to support PNG?) and synchronizing that folder in LR4 so that I can view in LR4. Maybe the fact that I have LR4 and Bridge open at the same time and doing some operations corrupted them? LR4 got stuck at 1% progress in creating previews, so left the computer on overnight and when I come back in morning, black screen of death. When reboot, says I have to check that drive and finds lots of corrupt record segments. Never had this problem with LR3 and Bridge open at same time before LR4 and turning on the option to write XMP data to files.

I am experiencing reports of corrupted files as well!!! First report of corrupted files came the day after I installed Lightroom 4. No problems while I was using Ligthroom 3. So far, it seems to only occur with JPG-files.
I have about 10 000 photos stored on a Windows Home Server, both JPG and RAW files. About one day after I had installed and started using Lightroom 4, the WHS server began to complain about "file conflicts" (This is actually the first time I have experienced this spesific error on the server). I then found that the reason was that a lot of JPG-files had been locked and then never unlocked again. I am a developer myself, and many years ago I had some experience of this problem due to some programs that failed to close the files. Whatever the reason was this time, it was making it impossible for the WHS server to duplicate these files to a second hard drive (on WHS, duplication of files is done by a service. And if this service is unable to duplicate a file in 24 hours, it may report "file conflicts"). First strange thing about this was that it seemed to happen only with JGP files, and with files shot many years ago. It have been many years since I made any changes to those photos. To make the locks go away, I restarted the server. This seemed to resolve the problem with the locks. My first thought was that one of the disks on the server was about to fail, but after my next experiences I am beginning to think that’s not the problem…
For a few days I did not use Lightroom, and in this period no problems was reported by the server. But then, after using Lightroom 4 again a few hours, the same problem occurs. I now started to do some more investigation. Using Event Viewer on the WHS, I found that WHS was reporting both file lock problems and some file corruptions, and pointed me to some specific JPG files. Checking the files, I found that the files had been changed the same day I installed and used Lightroom 4 for the first time. After some more checking I found some corrupt JPG files, as well. This was yesterday, and since then, I have not dared to use Lightroom 4.
Actually I think all JPG files I have browsed using Lightroom 4, has been modified. But only some of them became "locked" or corrupted. Checking the RAW files, could not find that they have not been touched. I store a lot of data on my WHS server and many types of files. But corruption has only been a problem with the JGP files…
If I used file explorer to preview the corrupted files, I still got a preview of some of them. And it was easy to see they were corrupted. Actually it looked like a number of photos have been merged together like a mosaic. Trying to open one of the corrupted files using Photoshop CS5, ended with a message saying it was impossible to read the file.
For now I am not able to do more testing of this problem, but I am planning to copy all the photos to an external USB disk, and then play around with it using Lightroom 4, to see if problem shows up again.
Some info about my computers:
I am using Windows 7 x64 on a Dell M6400 laptop with Lightroom 4 x64. The catalog resides on this laptop.
My WHS Server is of the first version released by Microsoft (not the 2011 version), but with all updates installed. All photos, both the JPG and the RAW files reside on a share on the WHS Server. I have been using this WHS server for many years now, and with both Lightroom 2 and Lightroom 3 before the upgrade to Lightroom 4. During this time I have experienced one disk crash, but thanks to the file duplication no data was lost. The server is currently equipped with three physical disks; one 1.5TB, one 650 GB and one 2 TB.
Most of my JPG files are shot with a Canon IXUS 400 (many years ago). My RAW files are all shot with a Canon 5D Mk2, but those seem to be untouched.
I will report back as soon I have more information.

Consequence of applying the same filter twice to one scene

What would be the consequence of applying the same filter twice (with the exact same settings) to one scene?
For example, I drop the de-interlace filter twice (assuming the exact same settings on the filter) onto the same scene by accident and don't pick up on it later... would that do anything to the quality of the footage?

In general, applying the same filter twice to a clip has its effect applied twice. However this depends on the kind of effect: with de-interlace you might get a degraded image since the first pass removes a field and substitutes it with a new field built by interpolation, then the 2nd pass removes a field again. If it is the same as before nothing should happen, but if it is the other one you degrade the image again.
With broadcast safe I guess you won't gain quality by adding it twice.

HP Software gets corrupted often

I have a Dell laptop and an HP 8600 Pro wireless printer. This is not a business, just home use. I have to uninstall and re-install the HP driver often in order to print. It seems the driver gets corrupted. My laptop thinks the printer is offline, but it's not. We have other computers printing without these problems. I have virus protection and it's not finding anything. HELP!!

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I cannot tell you why that is happening; I can tell you it is not normal behavior.
Windows 8 can be a bit shaky compared to Windows 8.1: You might make sure your .NET Framework is up-to-date. The printer software might be touchy about the Framework software.
Check your Device Manager and make sure all your Drivers for any other devices are installed -- missing Drivers can play havoc with a system and cause odd side issues.
It could be that the wireless environment (network) is less than ideal -- try moving things around, even a few inches this way or that can make a difference.
You could try turning up (increasing) the wireless signal on your notebook if you think the signal is weak.
The following was written with HP systems in mind, you might find something helpful here:

When I open a raw file (NEF Nikon 7100) and apply setting then click save, I get an error ( could not complete your request because of a program error ). Ideas?

Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

Several applications including Settings open and close immediately, unable to get iTunes to install an update

While traveling in China, I was unable to get latest iTunes download an update to 4.3.2 (after download is compoleted, is starts processing and says network timed out, without any clear reason) I can download the file separately for an older version without using iTunes fine.
I have a hunch that the multitude of emails flying in my account is causing trouble, since Mail is one of the apps closing immediately. But I cannot use settings to combat Mail problems.... Anyone any idea???
Henk

The "Network timed out " may be a firewall or antivirus on the computer.
For the apps closing, try the following:
stop all running apps:
Double-click the Home button. Hold an icon in the bottom row until the minus sign shows, then touch all minus signs to close all apps.
Then Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
