Changing from Lightroom 4 to 5
I have purchased Lightroom 5, but I cannot find or access any Lightroom 4 files. I use Windows. I am not very used to Lightroom, but manage to get by.

You have to open the Lr4 catalog in Lr5. Lr5 will then update the Lr4 catalog (actually it creates a copy and updates that) and display your images.
To open the lr4 catalog in Lr5 go >File >Open catalog. Navigate to your Lr4 catalog and select it.
If you do not know the name and location of the Lr4 catalog, open Lr4 and go >Edit >Catalog Settings >General tab. The first item is the name of the catalog. Click on <Show> - this will take you to the location. Open the folder. The catalog is the file with the extension < .lrcat>. Note the name and location. Close Lr4, open Lr5 and open this catalog in Lr5.

How to change from Lightroom 5 creative cloud to using Lightroom 5 CD.
I downloaded the Lightroom 5 Trial. Then After the 30 days was up I ordered the Lightroom 5 Cd. I installed the CD but I am unable to use lightroom, it continues to say I need to upgrade my subscription. How do I update my program so I can stop using creative cloud and just use my Lightroom CD
did you uninstall the trial version Lightroom you were using Before installing your CD version?
they are licensed differently, if you buy the perpetual license version you should uninstall the trial version before installing the perpetual license version. Works fine after that.
personally I'd uninstall LR completely and then reinstall your CD. Erosion. That should sort it. -

Color change on exporting from lightroom and saving in Photoshop CS5
I have been having issues with my pictures with color management. I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5. I thought over the last 2 years that it was just me. I have bought a Eizo monitor with a hood, calibrate with a i1display pro, painted my walls gray, updated my strobes from alien bees to elinchrome bxri's. Updated my sekonic meter to a L 758. Have done custom white balance with gray card, expodisc, xrite kits. The problem has been over the years when I work on a picture in lightroom and export it as jpeg or adobe rgb it gets saved to my external hardrive and the colors are really bad !! You can go back and compare the picture in lightroom to the picture on my iomega external drive and there is a significant difference. I do some animal photography and I had a dog that had brown fur and when I export it out of lightroom the dogs fur is actually a bright very orange color. Same thing happens with skin tones. When I import the photos into lightroom the pictures look ok. The same thing is happening when I go from lightroom to photoshop the picture color looks good but when I go to File-save as - tiff or jpeg the colors are changing. It does not matter what color space I am in I have tried them all it is still happening. If anyone has any insight that would be great.
TeresaThanks everyone for the help. I have only been doing photography for about 2 years and the color managment part has been my hardest thing to get right. My monitor ColorEdge CG243W LCD. Wide color gamut of 98%. Has a sensor on front of monitor that detects ambient brightness but this will only work if you are in a custom color mode. Modes are: custom, sRGB,DCI,EBU, Cal1. I use the Cal 1 to be able to use the Colornavigator software that came with the monitor. You also have to be in custom color mode to be able to manually adjust brightness, contrast, temperature on the monitr itself which I do not use because I use the Cal 1 mode. I was not sure about the digital input signals. I am on the DVI-I in which this allows digital signal input and analog signal input. There is a DVI-D mode that allows only digital input only. Also did not know if I needed to be concerned about setting the frequency that corresponds to the grahic board in the monitor ? My bandwith was set to normal and now is on wide. My digital input is for 1920x1200 resolution. Appicable signal is Vesa CVT RB. Frequency is 60 Hz. Yes I did call Eizo twice last year when I got my monitor and did not get very far. I have also called and spoke to a color specialist at my lab and told him the problems I have been having and he just told me to leave everything in sRGB. Well I would like to get the most from my monitor's color gamut and when working on my pictures so that is why I am still determined to get this figured out.
I use the i1 Dislpay Pro hardware to calibrate with and the ColorNavigator software. When calibrating. I go to create a new target---select enter manually--Gamut ( monitor native--states recommended)--Brightness 100cd---White point (6500k)--set black level (recommemded states mininum 0.2)---gamma 2.20---priority (set automatically to standard, this adjusts gray balance while maintaining the contrast)---then I hit calibrate and it goes through the process. The results I get are: Target Result
Brightness 100cd 99.9cd
Black Level minimum 0.15cd
contrast ratio 647:1
White Point 6500k 6501k
Gamma 2.20 R 0.6774,0.3136
G 0.2031,0.6992
B 0.1498,0.0499
Thanks again for your help I know this is alot of information but I thought it might help ?

I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?
Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
So no, you're money's safe! -
Photoshop is changing the name of images imported from Lightroom.
Today I sent a batch of photos to Photoshop from Lightroom (via the Edit In menu selection). When I completed the work in Photoshop I selected SAVE, as I always do, only the photos are returning to Lightroom with a new file name instead of the same name (as always in the past) with a .psd suffix. Has there been a change to Photoshop CC I am not aware of. Both programs are up-to-date.
Thanks for looking at my problem. When I looked carefully at the new name (thanks dj for telling me to do that) I realized that the name had parts of what I had added as a preset and applied in External Editing. What appears to have happened is that my original preset was corrupted and dropped out the part that told it to use the original file name. I have repaired it and now all is well. Thanks for the responses and the help! Much appreciated.

Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it
Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it, so the printing goes directly from Lightroom to the printer.
MartyOretsky wrote:
Let me try again. I am in Lightroom and click print. Then I am launched to PS.
This is not possible.
What you are seeing is not PS, it's your printer dialog. PS does not have an ICM button.
And you say: " Lightroom doesn't stop working; rather CS5 stops working"
And what does the error message say that you posted in the screen shot? Does it not say "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working" ?
Do not be confused. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the official name of Lightroom. This is not CS5 that has stopped working. CS5 does not come on when you hit the print button in Lr.
It is Lr that has stopped working.
And you say: "My next step is to click on ICM so the color controls are done by the software."
This is wrong. When you want Lr to do the color management, you select a profile in the Print Module, in the <Print Job> panel under Color Management / Profile.
In the screen shot below I have selected a profile for my HP printer and paper. And that's where you select a profile for your printer and paper.
You do not click on ICM in your printer dialog. You click there only when you want your printer to manage colors.
So try to print by selecting the profile in the print Module as indicated and do not click on ICM.
By the way: Which OS? Are you on a Mac? -
I am new to Lightroom and have also just changed from Apple to PC. I cannot figure out how to download photos from the Photoshop library to a file that will be sent to MPIX for processing. Also, does Lightroom have an easy access to a photo processing capability such as MPIX?
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Color change after exporting from Lightroom
I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
Here is the original.
After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me. Thank you so much for your help!Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
>Can you upload a sample of each
>* Raw File
>* XMP Sidecar
>* Exported JPEG
I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
Thanks!

File number is changed on export from lightroom
using lightroom 4.3... when I edit a group of photos in lightroom, most of the files will only be edited in lightroom but a few will also be opend into PS6 (by right clicking > edit in>...) Once the PS edits are complete the image is saved & I return to Lightroom. When I export the entire group of images - I set the file name to 'custom name - original file number'. The images I edited in lightroom only - all are renamed as expected (ie wedding photo-1234, wedding photo-1235...). The images I edited in both lightroom & photoshop receive the custom name but lose their file name (ie wedding photo-, wedding photo-1, wedding photo-2, etc.) When viewing these PS edited images in lightroom - they do show the file #, it is only after export that the file # is lost..
Previous versions of lightroom / PS did not have this problem for me.
I wish to maintain the file names for all of the images, help?!?Thanks Brett, yes - when I open the photo in PS, the file name has changed from i.e. _MG_5720.CR2 to _MG_5720-2. I save the image & go back to lightroom, the image is now called _MG_5720-edit.tiff. When I export, (and in the export settings I rename to custom name - file name) the file now becomes wedding photo--. In previous versions of the software - the file name would have exported as wedding photo-5720-edit.
Can you please explain how I can check how the file names are being changed and see if I can make it so any changes to the name occur before numbers.
Many thanks, Anne -
my desktop is windows and I cant save my edited pictures from lightroom to my computer to upload to facebook - all there is is a picture of LR in place of the picture I did changes to - how do I do that?
You need to export JPG copies of your adjusted photos to upload to FB.

Photoshop CS-6 does not open images from Lightroom 5
I do have Photoshop CS-6 and Lightroom 5. Nearly all images were created in a Windows 7 (64 bit) environment. I have moved platforms to MAC. I have moved all images and the Catalog. I have changed platform to MAC. I am now using MAC OS-X (10.9.1).
I am able to see all images in Lightroom, I am able to modify all images in Lightroom. I can export the images to Jpeg (for example) from Lightroom. I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
First time I have tried to open an Image from Lightroom (hand over) Photoshop opens, but does not show any picture and no error message. But when I then look to recently opened files, the image is in the list. When I do click on this, Photoshop shows and error message: "the datamodule can not handle the file format" (which is either RAW or jpeg).
Another expirience is, when I try to open directly from Photoshop any other image, Photoshop ignores the XMP and opens the original file without any modification.derMueller wrote:

That's normal if the raw files were originally edited in Lightroom. Lightroom stores all edits in the catalog, not the xmp sidecar. You can set Lightroom to write to xmp as well, but that slows it down a little and so it's off by default. The Lightroom shortcut ctrl/cmd+S will also save to xmp.
I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
That's related to the above, and also normal if you go the other way - edit in ACR and then move to Lightroom. It'll then be in xmp, but not the Lightroom catalog.
As for the missing on-screen image, that's a common video driver bug (although I suppose other causes are possible). For Windows you can download updated drivers directly from the manufacturer's website, but that's not possible with Mac. You'll have to wait for Apple to fix it. -

How do I Print Accurate Color from Lightroom?
I just got my Epson 3880 2 weeks ago. The problem I am having is getting accurate color when printing from Lightroom. I am running a p.c. with Windows 8.1. To eliminate my monitor as the problem, I created a series of color patches in Photoshop, printed them and read them in using the X-Rite Color Munki Photo. Here is a list of thing I have done:
1) I chose Lightroom manages color, chose the appropriate icc profile in Lightroom, chose the appropriate paper in the printer dialogue box, and choose no color management in the printer dialogue box. The results are as follows:

Printing from Windows Photo Viewer – Printer Manages Color
Did I miss something in the Lightroom print section?
Message was edited by: David Nestico. Rather than just posing a list of numbers, I summarized what I thought was important. All data is there in case someone smarter than me can make more sense of it :)I thought my problem could be Lightroom is in ProphotoRGB color space, and my printer is Adobe1998 color space. To test this, I changed the color space of my patches from prophoto to AdobeRGB. I checked my colors in Photoshop, and made them match the RGB number I specified. It was interesting to note that (128,128,255) had a noticeable shift to purple. the other colors shifted slightly. Now I printed the test page with Lightroom managing color and the printer managing color. Both images came out similar.
This study came about when I was printing some images, and the sky had a definite purple shift. So, I took the image into Photoshop and converted the colorspace from prophoto to Adobe. Printed the image, and the image came out much better.
So the question now is, do I need to convert each image I print in Photoshop, or am I doing something wrong in Lightroom?
