Copy/paste saturation settings

I have corrected my saturation on a photo in the Develop module and would like to copy that saturation to other photos. I click 'copy' in the lower left and get the dialog to select my choice of settings, so I only check saturation. I then move to my desired recipient image and click 'paste' and nothing happens. Same result in Library module when I use Photo > Develop Settings > Copy Settings and Paste Settings. NADA!!
I am using LR 5.3 on Windows Pro 7

I removed preference file and when I restarted, I panicked since it wanted to start a new catalog, but I solved that and unfortunately, this did not solve the copy/paste problem.
However, I did find something. I had been checking ONLY the saturation checkbox, but when I check the color checkbox (which checks all three - saturation, vibrance and color adjustments), then the settings are copied. I had not made any changes to vibrance, and I don't know what is meant by color adjustments, but it did indeed copy the saturation changes.
So this still does not answer the question.

Copy-Pasting crop settings also affects other Develop settings?

I noticed the following behavior in my Lightroom 4.3. Let's say I have two almost identical pictures. Both have their Develop settings reset, no keywords and store some GPS info (so in the flimstrip both pictures have a "geotag" icon overlaid on them and no other icons).
Now, I go to Develop screen and crop the first picture. I leave other Develop settings untouched. This makes a "crop" icon to appear on the first picture in the filmstrip. All works as it should.
After that I ask Lightroom to copy the Develop settings from the first picture. In the selection dialog I leave everything unchecked besides the crop settings. I.e. I want to copy crop settings only, nothing else. Then I immediately paste these settings over the second picture. Expectedly, the second picture gets cropped in exactly the same way as the first one. It also acquires a "crop" icon in the filmstrip. However, in addition to the crop icon it also gets a "+/-" icon, as if some other Develop settings got changed by the paste as well. A quick inspection shows that all Develop settings (besides crop, of course) remain at their default values.
I wonder why the second picture acquires that "+/-" icon. Is there some hidden Develop setting that gets affected by my paste, even though I explicitly asked Lightroom to copy crop settings only? Or is it just a user-interface-level bug?

I reported this strange behaviour a year ago already for LR 3.4: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_3_4_1_wrong_activation_of_ badge_has_delevop_adjustments. LR 4.3 seems to have the same bug (at least I think it is a bug).
As far as I know, no "real" development settings are affected by this bug, however an internal flag for "has development settings" seems to be set when the "+/-"-badge appears. This means that such images are found by smart collections with "has adjustments = true". So it is not just an user-interface-level bug.

Copy/Paste Develop Settings for multiple images

I'm trying to update some settings on multiple images. In Develop mode, I start by making the corrections to a single image, and then click the "Copy ..." button. I then select multiple images in the Filmstrip and click "Paste". This works just fine, but only on the 1st image/highlighted image, and not the whole selection. Am I doing something wrong here? Shouldn't I be able to update multiple images, at once, like a batch process?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lee Jay
How do you know this is on purpose? It seems like a bug to me.
See this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2951457
If your reasoning was correct, how come the settings do paste to the entire target selection and not just the active image when the toggle in the lower right hand side of the screen is switched to Auto Sync?
Would love to hear more of your insight, because this is really confusing me.

How to copy-paste motion settings

I just change some settings in the motion tab of one clip. I would like to copy those settings to several other clips....is there a way to do this ??? Thanks

For the benefit of the many seekers who may come after you please post your solution.

I have a dual monitor setup. When I paste develop settings from one image to another, Lightroom switches the active window.

Strange problem. Lightroom 5.5. Windows 8.1. Dual monitor setup.
I'm processing a large batch of photos. I have Monitor #1 set as my main develop window, with Monitor #2 set only to display a larger version of the image I'm working with. If I copy the develop settings off of one image and try to paste them onto another image, Lightroom will switch from Monitor #1 to Monitor #2 as the main develop window, and will not display anything on Monitor #1.
If I then try to paste develop settings onto another image on Monitor #2, LR will then display a larger version of the image I'm working with on Monitor #1.
To work the way I want to, I have to continually drag my develop window back to Monitor #1 every time I try to paste develop settings onto a new image. How can I make this stop?

I just tried what I think you’re saying you’re doing and I don’t have the problem with LR 5.5 on Windows 7 SP 2.
Does the same thing happen whether you use the key shortcuts vs the Settings / Copy/Paste options on the menu?
I ask this because if you’re using the keyboard shortcuts, maybe you have some display-manager program that has bound itself to the Ctrl-Shift-V (paste settings) to the function of move-to-other-monitor which would do at least part of what you describe.
You can also test this theory by doing a Ctrl-Shift-V with an application other than LR as the active window and see if it moves. I suppose Ctrl-Shift-C might also play into it so try both of these hot-key combinations with a program that isn’t LR.
If none of this sheds any light on the situation, then give a more detailed description of the low-level functions you’re doing to accomplish the copy-paste of settings, so someone else could replicate the steps exactly.
Specific detailed steps, like:
left-click on source photo’s thumbnail in the filmstrip
press Ctrl-Shift-C to copy the settings
click Check-None
enable the white-balance and calibration checkboxes
click Ok
left-click on destination photo's thumbnail in the filmstrip
click on Settings / Paste Settings in LR’s menus to paste the settings to the selected photo

Lightroom 3.5 copy/paste settings is different, and IMHO, broken

For some reason now you cannot paste the settings you copy when you are in the loupe or grid view. Command-shift C still copies in loupe and grid, but you are no longer allowed to paste, unless you are in the develop module. You must copy them in the develop module as well, or the settings don't seem to be pasteable. Aggg - hard to describe this. Does this make sense to anyone? Is anyone else also seeing this?

I still can copy/paste Ctrl+Shift+C/V both in Grif and Loupe modes in LR 3.5 final.
When you hit Command-shift-C in grid or Loupe, does the Copy dialog box pop up?

Copy/Paste settings always includes lens corrections even if not ticked? (LR3)

I'm having trouble with copy/paste settings on LR3, in that whenever I copy settings and paste them onto other images, the settings for the Lense Corrections section are always transferred, even though they were not ticked in the copy settings dialog. Can anyone else confirm this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Edit: Should have mentioned, LR 3.0, Mac OSX 10.6.4, iMac i7.
Thanks,
David

I CANNOT reproduce that.
Do you have the lens correction box unchecked? or do you just have the four boxes under that hierarchy unchecked?
Mac OS X 10.6.4

Copy/Paste Settings mystery?

OK. I've searched this forum and either haven't used the appropriate phrase or it's just not covered.
I have tried and tried to use "Develop > Copy Settings..." and "Develop > Paste Settings" to transfer various settings from one image to one or more other images in the Develop module. No go.
I have also tried the "Sync..." button in the Develop Module and THAT doesn't work as expected.
The *only* way that appears to work is to change to "Auto Sync..." and work from there.
Now, please, before someone says this is a 'design feature' save your breath. If what I see is correct, then this is a bug. If I'm missing something then please educate me.
Thanks,
Bob Peters

LR is using Ctrl-C or Ctrl-V only for editing text in Keywords, Metadata, etc., it seems. There is no reason not to also use it for image changes as well. It only requires LR check what was selected before the key combination: text in a field? Or an image from filmstrip or grid?
As there are already ways of copying/templating text for metadata, keywords, etc. such as Sync button, dragging/drop keyword tags, assignment at import,etc. I'm guessing that copying and pasting changes to image are a good additional and logical use for Ctrl/Cmd-C and Ctrl/Cmd-V.
I disagree with your comparison to MS Office applications. Images in LR are like Powerpoint slides that you receive and edit via MS Powerpoint. There are direct analogs in Powerpoint for LR metaphors: slide sorter (grid), slide outline (filmstrip), slide master formats (develop pre-sets), and on and on... including inserting/updating/deleting/copying/pasting modifications
Copy and Paste of image edits should be as straightforward as RSP and Office and the most logical action for Ctrl/Cmd-C and -V ... especially because it was so elegant in RSP, the developer(s) of which Adobe brought onto the LR team.
Nothing wrong with modifiers keys (shift, alt, etc.) for the lesser used contexts of Copy and Paste operations, but get the most important/frequently used contexts using the fewest keys!
The more I use 1.0 version of LR in trial, the more convinced I am that it's still rough around the edges and a half-step backwards in productivity compared to my current workflow, though I see it's potential. I'm probably going to wait for 1.5 or Service Pack 1 or whatever the next update release is and re-evaluate then.
I think LR needs to be a little more flexible to better work the way individual photographers would like it to work instead of (what seems to be) imposing a more rigid, uniform discipline on the way all LR users work.
"Your mileage may vary".

Copy/Paste Settings in Develop Module Never works first time

Only just noticed this one since upgrading from LR4 Beta to LR4.
First session developing a few shots taken over the weekend (.CR2 RAW files). When I only have a few shots, all taken in the same environment, I tend to just get the first one right and then Copy the Develop settings, and paste them onto each subsequent shot.
What happens on my 64 bit Windows 7 box - the first time I paste the settings to any shot, I get the task bar appear at the top right, which after a brief time changes to 'task completed' - but no settings have been pasted.
If I then paste the settings it works the second time.
This has happened to me consistently across around 30 shots now.
Anyone else seen this?

BUG: Copy / Paste settings

This bug has been reported in various forms. But I'd like to chime in.
I'm finding that the set of develop settings I copy are not pasting correctly onto other images. Sometimes settings I have NOT checked are pasted; other times settings I HAVE checked are being pasted. The bug does not seem to be related to the specific combination of settings checked and unchecked. Particularly I've found that copy/pasting UNCHECKED white point settings will not paste. UNCHECKED crop will paste. It's quite frustrating. I have not found a work around.
I am using LR 3.2 RC.

Mark, you can report this here. This would be most helpful. This forum is now mostly for user help rather than technical issues.

Why do I have to insert someone else's resume into my profile to change my copy paste settings??

I just want to use copy/paste with my mouse.
Why can't you make it just a toggle in Firefox?
Why do I have to enter someone else's resume in my user.js file??
That makes even LESS sense.
For Firefox:
Quit Firefox. If you have Quick Launch running (in Windows, an icon in the toolbar), quit that too.
Find your Firefox profile directory.
Open the user.js file from that directory in a text editor. If there's no user.js file, create one.
Add these lines to user.js:
[edit: removed personal information]
Note: The preference is site as well as protocol specific. For example:
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mozilla.org")
is not the same as:
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "https://www.mozilla.org")
This is because the first uses HTTP while the second uses HTTPS.
If you want to allow multiple URLs to access the Paste operation, separate the URLs with a space. For example:
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites",
"https://www.mozilla.org https://developer.mozilla.org")
For more information about security policies, see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html.

Sorry about that. You can find the addons by using:
 Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
 "Extensions" is under the "Get Add-ons" item
Screenshot:
 http://www.3drotator.com/support/JavaFirefox12AddOnsManagerExtensions.jpg
I'm thinking maybe those sites use different text editors than other websites making copy and pasting outside of those webpages a PITA.
This site tries to explain how to do what you were trying to do earlier.
 http://www.infogears.com/cgi-bin/infogears/mozilla_firefox_copy_paste.html
 Which is to enable access to the clipboard (the place where copied items are stored) for these sites.
The addon [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/allowclipboard-helper/ AllowClipboard Helper] tries to fix this on websites like the ones you go to. But it can be tricky to setup. There's a good tip from one of the reviewer's of that addon by the guy named '''pewe''' ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/allowclipboard-helper/reviews/351658/ Link to review]).
So in Firefox, copying is blocked from certain text editors.
 This article tries to explain why Firefox does this:
 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Granting_JavaScript_access_to_the_clipboard
It works in Internet Explorer because they are not strict about this "Javascript access to clipboard" feature but Firefox is b/c they think it's a security risk since the website can read and copy whatever you put into the clipboard.
So long story short, certain websites use text editors that make it impossible to copy & paste stuff from them to other areas where you want to copy & paste. You could try all the stuff I mentioned above (although it's a bit nerdy) or you can save yourself the trouble/frustration and just use Internet Explorer when browsing these websites.
If you hate switching between IE & Firefox just to check a few sites, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-2-ff-36/ IE Tab addon]. It lets you use Internet Explorer inside Firefox by opening it in a special tab. Don't ask me how they do it. :P But it works.

Can't get Typekit to work with localhost (also, another weird issue with copy+paste)

Hi!
I've searched through the other posts already, and I *think* I've tried all the solutions, but I still can't get the typekit fonts on my machine.
I'm trying to use the "orator-std" font. In the "kit editor", in the "kit settings -> kit settings" tab I have for name "localhost" (w/o quotes) and for domains just "127.0.0.1" (w/o quotes).
Then (AFTER saving the settings from that tab), I go back into edge animate, I start a new font by clicking that + sign next to "fonts", in the "library" tab. I set the "font fallback list" to ' "orator-std",sans-serif ' (w/ quotes, w/o single quotes), and then go back to the open browser and go to the "embed code", copy both lines of javascript, go back to edge animate, and... nothing. It won't let me change ANY text in this box anymore after the window loses focus. I have to press "cancel" and try again. So this time, I just type in the orator-std... blah blah, same as last time, but paste in the code successfully as it was already in the clipboard and I didn't need to make the window lose focus. Okay, so I click "Add font", and apply the font to my text. Nothing happens.
Huh... well the "Font's from T" picture is showing up in the bottom right of my screen, so that's odd. I go to preview in chrome, still ugly old sans-seriff there, also with the "Font's from T" logo in the bottom right.
I figure "okay, probably just takes a second... or a minute... or w/e like the message said." Well this was at least an hour ago, so something is still wrong.
I would love to just delete the font and start from scratch... maybe something got screwed up along the way and it would fix things to just start from scratch. Well... "sorry" says edge animate... can't let you delete that! In the "libarary" tab, there's only one font visible, it says "orator-std,sans-serif" (w/o quotes). If I right click it, the only option is "delete" and it's greyed out.
I tried doing one with arial instead of sans-serif just now, still not working, but everything shows up in arial now instead of sans-serif... so that's something I guess.
Apologies if this is just a simple problem that I'm just somehow not grasping. Please accept this legitimate bug report as payment... the er copy paste bug, I mean...
Thanks!
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Typekit can be used locally. However there are some necessary steps that if left out, will cause the fonts not to render. In order to use Typekit locally, you've got to:
1. Be running a local server when testing your site in the browser. You can tell if you're running a local server by the URL of the local site. If it starts with: file:// then you are just viewing the local file in a browser and not running it from a local server.
If the local URL starts with: http:// then you're running a local server.
2. The domain of your local server has to be part of the domain list in your Kit. So, if your local server uses: localhost, you'll need to add this to your Kit's domains.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us directly: [email protected]
Cheers,
Benjamin

Copy/Paste difference between CS4 and CS5

Please help... I am losing my mind...
I just upgraded from CS4 to CS5 the other day and am at my wits end.
I use Adobe Illustrator for live trace and paste the paths into an embroidery software for digitizing.
In Adobe Illustrator CS4, I could copy (ctrl+c) paths in illustrator and then open the embroidery software and paste (ctrl+v) the paths.
Now that I've upgraded to Illustrator CS5, I can no longer copy/paste paths... why? The paths simply wont paste into the embroidery software any longer.
I feel like there is something very fundamental that I am missing.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Larry,
Thank you for your suggestion. If you can't tell already, I am far from an Illustrator power user...
I verified my clipboard settings looked as the attached image and it still did not seem to work. I also tried every combination of options and none of them worked either.
Work Flow: I will highlight the paths and copy them, then in the embroidery software when I hit paste, the mouse cursor turns into the processing icon for a split second like it's trying to paste, but nothing ever shows up in the embroidery software.
I reinstalled Illustrator CS4 alongside CS5 this morning, and tried the same copy/paste process with CS4 (from an illustrator file created in CS5)... works like a charm. I realize that downgrading to CS4 is not the solution. However, not being able to correctly operate the copy/paste commands is toying with my ego...

How do I disable copy/paste for most (but not all) of a .pdf?

Hello, I'm trying to create a .pdf document that is a "how-to" guide. I'd like to disable copy/pasting from 95% of this document, with the exception of a few sections that i'd like my users to be able to copy and paste and use as email templates. I've gone ahead and set pasword security settings and un-checked the box for "enable copying of text, images, and other content". Is there any way that I can enable copy/paste for just a few small sections of my document? or is it an "all or none" function?
Thanks in advance for your help. -Geoff

Graffiti, Can you please expand on that? I'm using Microsoft Word as my original document. I'll have mostly paragraphs of non-copyable text, with a few sections that contain sample email templates that will be copyable. Example below. Thanks, Geoff
Here is my description of an amazing new process written in Word. To use this process, copy the email template below and customize with your own name.
