Bug: identity plate setup

This is just a small bug but annoying to me because of the font I use in the identity plate.
When setting the Identity plate, the program ignores the style drop down  (centre one ) for the module picker buttons.
It simply uses the first default style.
The specific font I use is P22 DaVinci, and the default style is "backwards" which makes the font very difficult to read. It works fine in the identity plate itself, but not in the module picker selection.
I have tried other fonts, including system supplied fonts and the problem is consistent.
Macbook Pro 2.4GHz i5, OSX 10.6.8 , 8GbRAM
LR4.0 Beta -800002 Camera RAW 7.0 64Biy

I tried drag and drop before.
In trying again, made the image smaller then the max high and it works now. (note: it's been awhile since I tried this, so the machine has had several updates to the OS and several reboots, so there is a possibility of something else, like a bad driver, getting fixed that resolved this issue)

  • Bug: Identity plate not added to printed output (or file)

    I recently conducted an offsite photoshoot that required proofs to be printed with contact and ordering information, etc. I set up a series of custom 2-up print templates, with the email address as a watermark over each photo, and an 4x6 PNG background image with the contact/ordering information as an identity plate (set to "Render behind image"). This works beautifully in most circumstances, however, about 20% of the time, the proofs are printed without the watermark. This is quite frustrating because it wastes ink, paper, and more importantly, time.
    I tried every combination of settings, formats, preset options, etc., and I cannot find any one particular reason for this error; and it seems to happen completely at random. In fact, if a proof prints with a missing background and I press the Print button again, it will print properly the second time (most of the time!).
    I have even tried Print to File, but this method also suffers from the same problem -- although it seems to happen less frequenly. At least with this method, I can see if the background is missing before printing.
    Note: This bug exists in both the latest release version, as well as the initial LR4 beta.

  • Identity Plate setup problem

    Adobe Lightroom 2.2, MacPro 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM, Mac OS 10.5.4
    I went to change my identity plate, and selected "Use a styled text identity plate". As soon as I did, the "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2" default plate went away, but no matter what I typed, it would not show up as the identity plate. If I uncheck "Enable Identity Plate", the default Adobe plate shows up. If I change the font for the module picker buttons, that works fine.
    I've tried the following:
    * Changing the font, font color and font size. No change
    * Restarting Lightroom (numerous times)
    * Saving the identity plate as a preset, and then changing to/from it
    * Hiding/restoring the identity plate/picker button region
    The result is just solid black in the upper left hand corner of the window
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!
    -Eric

    Thanks for your reply!
    Unfortunately, that wasn't the problem... I had the ID plate text highlighted as you described.
    Since I first posted I also tried:
    * Repairing permissions
    * Clearing user and system caches (with OnyX)
    * Checking preference file integrity with Preferential Treatment
    I also tried searching for where Lightroom stores the Identity Plate info, but couldn't find it.
    Of course, this all works just fine on my Mac Pro.
    The next things it occurs to me to try is checking for damaged fonts (though I've tried using several, sometimes it just takes one), and reinstalling a fresh copy of Lightroom.
    Thanks for your suggestion!

  • How to Position Identity Plate Overlay in Print Module?

    When I print portraits, I want to include my name and date overlaying the portrait in the lower right hand corner. Currently I have to open the file in Photoshop and add this to the portrait. I saved the text information (name and date) in a transparent tiff and imported the into LR's print module identity plate. The problem is that the graphic is displayed in the middle of the portrait. Is there some way that the identity plate overlay can be positioned exactly where I want it (the lower right hand corner)?
    I recently did a portrait sitting for a large family reunion that involves seven different family portraits being printed in 4 different sizes. If I could position the identity plate exactly where I want, this would save me a lot of time instead of having to add this in PS.

    Hopefully this will be improved drastically in the final release of version 2. In an earlier thread, I asked about printing that used to work in Lr 1.2 and stopped working in Lr 1.3. An Adobe engineer replied it was a known bug. I am also a pro photographer and love Lightroom. jc

  • Buttons missing in HDR Pro & Lightroom Identity Plate Anomoly

    Hello,
    This is intended as a bug report, but if there is anyone with info on how to fix this, I would appreciate a reply.
    I am using Photoshop CS5 12.01 and Lightroom 3.0 in a Macbook Pro 15.4".
    First, When using HDR Pro, the OK/Cancel buttons are missing from the dialog.  I have tried
    a possible fix listed online (to rename the preferences file and then lanch Photoshop again) but this
    does not work.  The only way I can see the buttons is to keep my dock on the left side of the screen
    which I do not want to do.  I understand I can simply press the "Enter" button to apply the settings and
    exit the dialog, but this is not a fix to the problem.  The software should be fixed.
    Second, when I have Lightroom and PS both open, and I switch between the applications, I notice that sometimes
    my custom Identity Plate (a png logo) remains at the top of the screen and overlaps the PS application
    window/menu bar area.  This is a very annoying problem.  It's as if the applications are not properly refreshing the
    screen or something.
    PLEASE FIX these bugs.
    Thank you,
    Rico.

    Here is the official KnowledgeBase document for the issue.
    Feedback on this workaround is appreciated.

  • Changing font size in Slideshow module identity plate

    Do the following steps to reproduce the bug in LR 3.3:
    Select an image then go the the Slideshow module
    In the "Titles" section make Intro screen and Identity Plate visible
    Modify the plate's text to something different than the default
    Change the font size to 72pt
    Now, preview.
    The program always defaults to 36pt.
    Edit: Scaling is working, though; but at the same scale changing the font size has no effect at all.

    Sala, hello. How are you?
    Unfortunately there is no way to change the font size for that ActiveX control. Sorry for being the harbinger of this news.

  • Can't Change Identity Plate - Help

    I can't seem to change my Main screen Identity plate,
    Have tried to follow tutorials, walkthroughs etc. still no luck..
    The problem that I seem to have is that when I enter the ID Plate setup screen and click on (Enable Identity Plate) button and then next locate the image that i want (50 Pixels high, PNG.File)
    It does show in the preview screen, HOWEVER I cannot see it displayed in the backgorund on the main screen???? I then save the template and click OK and nothing, no ID plate???
    Any help would be appreciated,

    I am basically having the same problem with a text ID Plate. I can create a text ID Plate, and save it with a unique name, and it will show like it is supposed to, untill I close LR. When I reopen LR, it reverts back to the default ID Plate. I then have to go back to the Edit ID Plate, select the one I created, and click on enable, and then it will display. I have to do this every time I start LR, and it's annoying! How do I get LR to start with my ID Plate?

  • Lightroom crashes every time I try to change the font color of my identity plate

    I use the LRB portfolio plugin to create my website. Every time I try to change the color of my identity plate, lightroom crashes immediately. I can change the font and size without the problem, only a color change causes the crash. I tried to trash the plugin, but it still behaved the same way. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Hi Sean,
    thanks for answering. No, it crashes anyway. I tried changing the identity plate color in all different modules. I was able to change it once when I had just bought a new computer and installed Lightroom, but now I can't. I wonder if there are any cache files or anything causing this. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this to fix it myself. I wondered whether LRB is causing a problem simply by having it installed, but as I said, after I removed it from the Web Galleries folder, the problem still occurred. Is there any way to recreate the identity plate in Photoshop (same font and size etc.) and reimport it into Lightroom? I need to finish my website and my name is sol light, it is barely legible. Any fix or workaround would be appreciated.

  • Feature request : time to show identity plates in a slideshow when 'Fit to music' is selected.

    When using the 'Fit to music' option in a slideshow, and with one, or both options to show identiy plates selected, then the ability to choose an independent length of time to show the identity plates would be useful. Possibly even a different length of time for the intro and ending identity plates.
    At the moment if you choose 'Fit to music' the time each slide is shown is also used for the identity plates. When you only have a few images, compared to the length of the music, this means that the identity plates are shown for too long on the screen.

    For that ind of precision and flexiblity make your slideshow in an app like iMovie, PhotoToMovie or Final Cut Express.

  • Moving Identity Plate with Arrow Keys

    I have always been able to move my identity plate around using the arrow keys. For some reason, it doesn't work any more. I am using Lightroom 2.3. I know that this is a small problem, but I sure would like to know how to remedy this. Thanks!

    Hi Ken,
    This is how I have done it.
    1. Create identity plate in Illustrator and save as an Illustrator file = .ai
    2. Go to Overlays in Lightroom and check Identity Plate
    3. Within the Identity Plate checkered box, you will see a pull-down menu on the bottom right
    4. Select Edit
    5. Select the radio button: "Use a graphical Identity Plate"
    6. Locate the ai file and select Choose (You might not see anything in the window, but don't worry about that
    7. Select Custom
    8. Choose Save As and give it a name
    9. Select OK
    Now, when you go into that checkered box within the Identity Plate window, you will now see your new Identity Plate (ai graphic) listed. Select it, and it will be displayed on your photograph. Sometimes, I have to select it twice (not sure why) for the resolution to be high quality. Good luck and let me know how it works out.

  • Identity Plate TOO SMALL in Lightroom Flash Galleries

    In Lightroom Flash Galleries, the size of the Identity Plate is very limited, much smaller than that possible with the HTML Galleries.I've tried reconfiguring the layout,using a different template, using an image for the ID Plate, but the problem persists.
    It's a big problem because the Flash Galleries are pretty much useless as is.

    Thanks Sean
    Kind of harsh I guess. The Flash Galleries are great except my logo (a simple line of text) can only appear as small type (14pt I'd guess), and only justified to the left. This is visually unacceptable for a site that clients, etc. will go to. So I can't use it for what I need. I guess some might be able to use it, but for what I need to do it is effectively useless. Which is too bad because I like the rest of the Lightroom Web experience a lot.

  • Exporting a .jpg in Slideshow with Identity Plates

    I'm pretty new to Lightroom. I have, i believe, a simple question.
    I created a simple Identity plate and everytime i try 'Export as..' jpg, it doesn't render the Identity plate (only the picture)
    This is in the Slideshow module. It doesn't have the Identity plate in the Library and Develop modules so thats why i 'Export as' from
    the Slideshow. How are you guys rendering out the file with the identity plate and also, what size do you usually make your graphics for
    the identity plate? Thanks.

    Thanks for responding Jon.
    I'm not trying to make a slideshow. I"m just trying to export the 1 pic (.jpg)
    I'm probably misunderstanding something. I'm using the slideshow mod cause it has the 'Identity plate'
    feature. I just want to add an identity plate to 1 pic and export out a .jpg

  • URL linik for Identity Plate

    I like the look and features of the Night Life LR flash template in the Web
    Gallery, with the exception that the identify plate does not have a
    provision for adding a link back to the home page. Is it possible to edit
    the flash template so that it will attach a URL link to the identity plate?
    Best,
    Christopher

    I found this information on the bluefire blog ...<br /><br />Make your Site Title or Collection Title a link: (This is the text that <br />shows up in the header of the gallery) you can't add the link from within <br />LR, but it is really easy to do in a text editor. Simply open the group.xml <br />file of an exported gallery in notepad or some other simple text editor and <br />put a link tag in either place and save it. eg: <a <br />href="http://blog.bluefire.tv">bluefire blog</a><br /><br />Best,<br />Christopher

  • Color Space Identity Plates

    What color space should Identity Plates be in. Considering the fact that I do not know the working color space I am working in Lightroom with raw files. I am concerned about color space mismatches when printing (in the print module) a raw file and identity plate in a layout. How does Lightroom handle two files printed simultaneously like this in a layout. What is converted to what before it is converted to my printer profile. As it stands I have identity plates stored on disk as sRGB and they seem to be printing slightly darker than they should. Have tried converting them to a 1.8 (Prophoto) gamma space and no change.

    In my experience, LR just does the right thing and translates whatever you have to the printer profile. It always comes out just right. Your observation seems to support that as you see no difference between sRGB and ppRGB. The difference in darkness might simply be a small calibration or monitor brightness issue.
