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.

Lightroom Identity Plate

Hi first post here. I am wondering if there is a way in Lightroom to save my pictures with my signature on them? I thought I could with the Identity Plate, but I am not sure. Thanks for any help.
Ron

First off, the ID Plate has nothing to do with the Watermark that LR applies when you check "Apply Copyright Watermark'. The only thing that you have to fill in is the Metadata 'Copyright' field.
What size are you exporting with Copyright Watermark? The size of he watermark is dependent on the size of the image. A 3006 x 2006 image will have a hardly discernable Watermark in its lower left corner. A 300 x 200 will have a large watermark in the same place.

Can you sync your Lightroom identity plate, import or develop setting from a mac desktop to mac laptop?

How do I sync my settings from a mac desktop to a mac laptop in LR? It seems you can't in LR only PS and other adobe products?

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

Identity-plate in LR 5.4

I just installed the new version LR 5.4 but I can't change the identity plate.
It's not a major problem, but it annoyes me because it's always the first thing I do...
Anyone know what to do?

You can't change the "Lightroom" identity plate, you have to use the drop down list to choose "Personalized"

HDR Pro on CS 5 - Merged image appears but bottom with save buttons cut off??

When I select photos to merge, either via Bridge or within CS5 (Automate/Merge to HDR Pro), the Merged image appears over the CS5 screen. However, the bottom of the HDR screen with the photos selected for the merge along with the Cancel & Save buttons are cut off. The only way for me to exit HDR is to force quit.
My monitor resolution is 1440X900 which is better than the 1024x768 required for CS5.
I noticed the same problem in Terry White's video on Youtube describing workflow between Lightroom & CS5 HDR Pro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rab25UTe6HY) as well as a couple of other users mentioning the problem to Zeno Bokor of Adobe (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-78e5a.h tml).
Does anyone have a solution???
Thanks.

I found the soluion - after spending over an hour with Adobe phone support (800-833-6687) - of which 45min was being on hold.
It turns out that for some computers, Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically work as efficiently as it could with the monitor resolution, even if the resolution is > than the minimum 1024 X 768. This is more frequent in those that have had older versions of Photoshop in them. This causes part of the screen to be cut off when going into HDR Pro.
One has to "prime" CS5 to recognize one's computer monitor settings. How to do:
Close out of PS CS5
Go to system preferences and select hardware settings/display (For PC would have to go through Control Panel/Hardware/Display)
Change monitor setting to one recommended by Adobe: 1024 X 768 or 1280 X 800
Save changes. Monitor will look less clear if you have been using higher settings...it's ok for now.
Now open CS5 again and access HDR Pro all three ways available, i.e. via Bridge, Mini Bridge and through PS under File/Automate.
Verify that the entire screen is visible including all thumbnails and Save/Close buttons.
Close out of CS5.
Go back to System Preferences ( for PC, go through Control Panel) and change back to your preferred resolution.
Voila! When you open CS5 again you should be able to see the entire screen.
For example, I use a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.7 and the monitor resolution was set to 1440 X 900. However, I still couldn't see the bottom of the screen with the Save/Close buttons so couldn't save any work (had to force quit or escape to exit HDR). After doing the above steps, I am now able to use HDR Pro w/o problem and access the Merge via all three modes.
Via Mini Bridge - Choose photos to merge--> Tools (above photos, last on right in Content bar) --> Photoshop --> Merge to HDR Pro
Via Bridge - Choose photos to merge--> Tools (Tool Bar beside "Adobe CS5 Bridge" at left top of screen; 3rd from end) --> Photoshop --> Merge to HDR
Via inside Photoshop - File --> Automate --> Merge to HDR
Since this seems to have affected several people and is a simple solution, I have asked the supervisor I spoke to, Laurie, to please have someone in Adobe post this solution.
Hope this helped.

Colllection Sync Buttons Unavailable. Version 5.4 No Identity plate login option

I'm trying to sync to Lightroom Mobile Collection Sync: Identity Plate is hidden when catalog opens. I can't find it and see no option to sign in. The Sync buttons are not displayed next to collections. There is no option on creating a new collection to allow sync. I am on LR version 5.4

Please pardon the redundancy, I believe I replied to my original question, not to your response.
My reply:
I am a Creative Cloud subscrber. I have been subscribed to the Photography program since its beginning. I got a notice that LR 5.4 was available the other day and downloaded it via the Creative Cloud Application Manager. I suspect that somehow, I have the stand alone version and not the cc version. I'm not sure how that happened since I've downloaded all apps from this manager....but again, somehow, I suspect I have managed to do just that, because I do not get the option to sign into LR mobile on my desktop version.
I appreciate your responses. Any suggestions where I go from here?
Thanks!

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.

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.

Trouble merging exposures from Lightroom 5 into Photoshop CC HDR Pro

I'm a new member to Photoshop CC and I'm trying to merge 3 exposures into Photoshop CC HDR Pro. When the exposures move over to the initial adjustments window, there is a large white line running vertically through the image. I'm missing about 40% of the image. This makes it difficult to accurately adjust the HDR. However, when I accept my adjustments and go to the main Photoshop workspace, the entire image is once again available to make subsequent adjustments or add layers.
I work on a 15" MacBook Pro w/ Retina and I'm running OSX Mavericks (if any of that matters).
I look forward to your response and resolution to my problem.
Thank you.

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%

Lightroom doesn't recognize 32 bit image processed in ps hdr pro. what can i do to get lightroom to recognize image?

how can i get lightroom to recognize a 32 bit image which was processed in ps hdr pro?

What do you mean "recognize"? Do you mean it will not import? Or it was imported but doesn't produce a thumbnail?
What format is the file? What is the file size?

Merge to HDR Pro from Lightroom

I am having trouble with Merge to HDR Pro from Lightroom to Photoshop CC. I can no longer get the exterior scenery to show clearly in the finished picture that I am adjusting in Lightroom. I cannot get the highlights adjusted low enough. Should I not let Photoshop autotone the image before I save it?

Okay, solved my own problem. I bit the bullet and did do a reinstall. I'd remembered that one of the previous Photoshop upgrades had failed (either 12.0.1 or 12.0.2) and I'd never gotten around to fixing it. Looking into that suggested reinstalling as the solution so I figured I should try uninstalling and reinstalling then apply all the upgrades and then try it again.
This time the upgrades did go through properly and I was just able to do a merge to HDR pro successfully so it looks like that's fixed the issue.

Color change after merging to HDR Pro, going back into Lightroom

I recently updated Lightroom and now when I "merge to HDR Pro in PS" the photo then comes back into lightroom with highly elevated contrast. I have set the color options to ProPhotoRGB in Lightroom and Photoshop. and the image looks fine when going from LR to PS, and it looks fine in "preview" after saving the image as a TIFF. But once that TIFF gets imported back into LR it has all those weird color changes. I'm not sure what to do, and I never had this problem until I recently updated photoshop and lightroom. Any help you would be appreciated. thanks!

The image will look different in PS than in LR. PS uses the embedded preview and LR uses the actual 32 bit image data. You need to apply the LR Develop module Basic panel Tone settings to the 32 bit HDR TIFF.

HDR PRO in tool image has a large white block through it and buttons are unresponsive. How do I fix this?

When I open images in HDR Pro I am met with a washed out image with a big white block through the middle about a third of the size of the image.
This disappears when I export the image, which would be fine, but the buttons and sliders are not working in the app.
This means The tool is useless. Any fixes?
Cheers

The symptoms you describe sound like there is an application-modal popup message box covering over the main HDR tool area but for some reason the message box is not fully rendered and you can only see the background, not the message it contains.
This could be a transient condition that would be remedied by rebooting, or it could be a video-driver incompatibility that might be resolved by updating your video drivers from the manufacturer’s website, or perhaps changing the Graphics Processor Settings in the Performance tab of Photoshop Preferences. You can uncheck Use Graphics Processor and restart Photoshop and see if things are different. If so, then turn it back on, but adjust the level of acceleration in the Advance Settings from Advanced to Basic or in between and also turn on and off the other settings in Advanced Settings area to see which ones make a difference.
If none of these grpahics system changes make any different, perhaps change the amount of memory that is being used in the PS / Prefs / Performance area, adjust it both more and less from what it is currently set to.

HDR Pro grayed out in Lightroom

The "Edit in" HDR pro is grayed out in Lightroom 5. I read that the File form had to be tiff not PSD, so I changed that in preferences to no avail. I am a creative cloud subscriper using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC, both of which were downloaded from the cloud. What am I doing wrong?

OK, sounds like some kind of odd glitch where LR isn't interfacing properly with PS. I only mentioned the Nik plugins because of the previous post by Jim, who got the impression you were using them (I guess because they have an application that's called HDR Efex Pro).
I sometimes read about this kind of problem where LR & PS aren't "talking" to each other properly, and I believe that the usual solution is to uninstall both applications, then re-install PS and LR in that order. This way, LR should automatically become "aware" that PS CC is installed and available for it to interface with. Not the simplest solution of course, but note that uninstalling will not touch your LR catalogue or settings - you'll be able to get back and running pretty quickly. Of course, as you're using CC, you may need to do the uninstalling via the Adobe Application Manager (or whatever it's called) - I've opted not to go down the subscription route, so I can't comment on that side of things. Before you try the uninstall method, you could always just see if deleting your LR preferences file might fix this...
Anyway, hope that's of some help.
