CS4 additions wanted for lightroom

After reading about the changes in CS4 to photoshop and bridge I have put together a short list of features that should be added to Lightroom.
ACR 5
Auto-Stack Panorama/HDR
Load Files into Photoshop Layers
Load Files into Photoshop Layers as smart objects
Process Collections in Photoshop
Bridge and Photoshop now share (ACR) preferences I want Lightroom ACR preferences and presets to cross over as well (If I'm using the same tool in different programs I want the tool to be the same no mater which program I'm in) when changing the ACR preferences in Bridge, they will also be modified in Photoshop, and lightroom (and visa versa).
When changing the metadata templates in Bridge, they will also be modified in lightroom presets (and visa versa)
Lightroom collections to have two way talking with Bridge collections when changing the collections in Bridge, they will also be modified or added in lightroom (and visa versa).
A preset folder for all presets so Bridge, photoshop, and lightroom can use and modify presets that are valid in all three programs.

That's odd I thought 2.0 had options to: open files as Panorama/HDR, but no auto stack Panorama/HDR feature. You can open an image as a smart object, but you can't Load Files into Photoshop Layers as smart objects.
You might be able to Load Files into Photoshop Layers but I don't recall seeing that option.
So, no these options are not in LR2
Forgot to add my specs to my post so here they are
Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1
AMD 64X2 duel core 6000+ 3Ghz
6GB 666mhz Ram PAE force enabled
NVIDIA Gforce 7600 256MB video card (1.75GB total with system shared ram)
Primary hard drive: 500GB
Hard drive 2: 400GB (system and photoshop paging files and lightroom catalog drive)
Hdrive 3: 1TB (primary image storage)
user control turned off
system graphics set to performance
Duel display
Lightroom 2.0
photoshop CS3

I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page

I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page, or possibly in some sort of booklet format.

I am watching a Creative Live Lightroom Crash Course with Jared Platt and Matt Kloskowski. They mentioned that Lightroom CC was available. I went to the Adobe site and clicked on it, but the download was for Lightroom 6. What is going on? I wanted Lightroom CC.

Yes, it looks like they've screwed up. Some people have been able to update CC to LR6, some people get half way through the download and it fails, some people (me included don't get any option to upgrade to LR6 in the CC app... It's all very annoying. I tried the help chat, and I got "log out of the CC and try again in 2-3 hours". Well, that was half an hour ago, but I'm not holding my breath for getting LR6 today.

Wish list for Lightroom 4

I just put together my wish list for Lightroom 4.
http://davidnaylor.org/blog/2011/01/wish-list-for-lightroom-4/
What do you think? Did I miss anything important out?

I want soft proofing so bad, I didn't even upgrade to lr3, because the changes they did make meant so little in comparison to it.
Please Adobe, if you're reading this...SOFT PROOFING PUH-LEEZ!
Additionally, it would be very useful to be able to embed watermarks that are visible to printing services, but not visible when viewing files on screen. I don't know if that's even possible, but it would help photographers who want to provide the files to our clients, but don't want them to have unlimited usage. They can enjoy the photos on their computers, they could print too, but the printing services would be limited by whatever copyright limitations the photographer places on the invisible watermark. For example, I might put something like:
copyright 2011 Iconic Photography, Vancouver, Canada
This image may be reproduced to a maximum print size of 8" x 12"
Contact Iconic Photography at [email protected] for more information.
This would prevent clients from making their own albums or wall prints. Whaddaya say Adobe?

GPU notes for Lightroom CC (2015)

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some additional information regarding GPU support in Lr CC.
Lr can now use graphics processors (GPUs) to accelerate interactive image editing in Develop. A big reason that we started here is the recent development and increased availability of high-res displays, such as 4K and 5K monitors. To give you some numbers: a standard HD screen is 2 megapixels (MP), a MacBook Retina Pro 15" is 5 MP, a 4K display is 8 MP, and a 5K display is a whopping 15 MP. This means on a 4K display we need to render and display 4 times as many pixels as on a standard HD display. Using the GPU can provide a significant speedup (10x or more) on high-res displays. The bigger the screen, the bigger the win.
For example, on my test system with a 4K display, adjusting the White Balance and Exposure sliders in Lightroom 5.7 (without GPU support) is about 5 frames/second -- manageable, but choppy and hard to control. The same sliders in Lightroom 6.0 now run smoothly at 60 FPS.
So why doesn't everything feel faster?
Well, GPUs can be enormously helpful in speeding up many tasks. But they're complex and involve some tradeoffs, which I'd like to take a moment to explain.
First, rewriting software to take full advantage of GPUs is a lot of work and takes time. Especially for software like Lightroom, which offers a rich feature set developed over many years and release versions. So the first tradeoff is that, for this particular version of Lightroom, we weren't able to take advantage of the GPU to speed up everything. Given our limited time, we needed to pick and choose specific areas of Lightroom to optimize. The area that I started with was interactive image editing in Develop, and even then, I didn't manage to speed up everything yet (more on this later).
Second, GPUs are marvelous at high-speed computation, but there's some overhead. For example, it takes time to get data from the main processor (CPU) over to the GPU. In the case of high-res images and big screens, that can take a LOT of time. This means that some operations may actually take longer when using the GPU, such as the time to load the full-resolution image, and the time to switch from one image to another.
Third, GPUs aren't best for everything. For example, decompressing sequential bits of data from a file -- like most raw files, for instance -- sees little to no benefit from a GPU implementation.
Fourth, Lightroom has a sophisticated raw processing pipeline (such as tone mapping HDR images with Highlights and Shadows), and running this efficiently on a GPU requires a fairly powerful GPU. Cards that may work with in the Photoshop app itself may not necessarily work with Lightroom. While cards that are 4 to 5 years old may technically work, they may provide little to no benefit over the regular CPU when processing images in Lr, and in some cases may be slower. Higher-end GPUs from the last 2 to 3 years should work better.
So let's clear up what's currently GPU accelerated in Lr CC and what's not:
First of all, Develop is the only module that currently has GPU acceleration whatsoever. This means that other functions and modules, such as Library, Export, and Quick Develop, do not use the GPU (performance should be the same for those functions regardless of whether you have GPU enabled or disabled in the prefs).
Within Develop, most image editing controls have full GPU acceleration, including the basic and tone panel, panning and zooming, crop and straighten, lens corrections, gradients, and radial filter. Some controls, such as local brush adjustments and spot clone/heal, do not -- at least, not yet.
While the above description may be disappointing to some of you, let's be clear: This is the beginning of the GPU story for Lightroom, not the end. The vision here is to expand our use of the GPU and other technologies over time to improve performance. I know that many photographers have been asking us for improved performance for a long time, and we're trying to respond to that. Please understand this is a big step in that direction, but it's just the first step. The rest of it will take some time.
Summary:
1. GPU support is currently available in Develop only.
2. Most (but not all) Develop controls benefit from GPU acceleration.
3. Using the GPU involves some overhead (there's no free lunch). This may make some operations take longer, such as image-to-image switching or zooming to 1:1. Newer GPUs and computer systems minimize this overhead.
4. The GPU performance improvement in Develop is more noticeable on higher-resolution displays such as 4K. The bigger the display, the bigger the win.
5. Prefer newer GPUs (faster models within the last 3 years). Lightroom may technically work on older GPUs (4 to 5 years old) but likely will not benefit much. At least 1 GB of GPU memory. 2 GB is better.
6. We're currently investigating using GPUs and other technologies to improve performance in Develop and other areas of the app going forward.
The above notes also apply to Camera Raw 9.0 for Photoshop/Bridge CC.

I posted the following information on the Luminous Landscape forum (GPU used in Develop but not Library?) in response to comments you made there.
I am very puzzled by the extremely blurry image in the second screen capture when the GPU is enabled.
OS X (10.9.5)
Hardware configuration:
   MacPro (late 2013)
   AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB
   Apple Cinema Display 1920 x 1200
   16 GB RAM
   1 TB SSD
Test file: Nikon D800 NEF, 50 MB
(0) open the Develop module
(1) select a different NEF file and zoom to 1:1
(2) clear the ACR cache
(3) select the test file
(4) take 3 screenshots to illustrate the 3 display states (the first one is hard to capture)
(5) select another image
(6) same 3 states are present
(7) return to the test file and the same 3 display states are present
   Why isn’t the ACR cache coming into play in step 7?
If I repeat this process with the GPU disabled the image is displayed without the intermediate states.
I have attached the 3 screenshots mentioned in step (4).

Is adjusting permissions for LightRoom based archive management worthwhile?

I'm trying to set up an archive that is managed through a LightRoom Catalog. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and adjusted the permissions of their files to read only to ensure that LightRoom Catalog metadata changes do not alter or get saved to files.
I plan to have the archive set up in 3 locations with copies of the LightRoom Catalog. I will need to be able to add keywords and collections to a catalog at 2 of the locations. I am interested in using permissions to ensure that the catalog is the only file that needs to travel between the locations. I don't want to get into a situation in which altering the LightRoom Catalog might alter files and necessitate that I either save new metadata to files with each keyword/collection addition or that I regularly synchronize the entire archive to ensure all 3 copies of the archive are mirrors of one another.
I have three serious concerns about the longterm viability of managing file permissions:
1. I worry that it will be difficult to manage the user/s who have the privileges to manage these permissions and that it will be difficult to do so in different locations and on different computers
2. I worry about whether permissions management might introduce some form of file corruption
3. I worry about the time involved in altering an entire archives worth of permissions to read only and the time involved in reversing this every time I want to unarchive content for new projects
I have also posted this question to Luminous Landscape here: Adjusting Permissions for LightRoom Catalog Based Archive Managment. Worthwhile?

... and adjusted the permissions of their files to read only to ensure that LightRoom Catalog metadata changes do not alter or get saved to files.
By default, Lightroom does not write anything to your photo files. Of course, there's no way to prevent a user from changing this default behavior and writing information to the files. I suppose making the directories read-only helps, but people could still change that. If the directories are on a server, then only the server admin could change the permissions.
2. I worry about whether permissions management might introduce some form of file corruption
I never heard of such a thing, but this is an operating system issue, not a Lightroom issue.
I worry about the time involved in altering an entire archives worth of permissions to read only and the time involved in reversing this every time I want to unarchive content for new projects
I don't think you understand how Lightroom works. There would be no need to reverse anything to "unarchive" the content — although in my opinion, the idea of "archiving" content in the first place doesn't feel right ... if the photos are imported into Lightroom at one time, leave them in Lightroom, don't go through an archive process removing the photos from Lightroom followed by unarchive process, that is something that is ineffective and causes numerous problems with non-expert users. When you import photos into Lightroom, the photos still remain on your hard disk somewhere, Lightroom does not actually keep a copy of the photo. Lightroom keeps pointers to the photo's locations and stores any metadata and edits. Removing a photo from Lightroom (archiving) is the equivalent of deleting the metadata and edits, and I cannot see a reason to do that.
So, bottom line, to answer your title question, "Is adjusting permissions for Lightroom based archive management worthwhile?" — without further discussion of your setup and goals, I see no reason to even spend your time on this, unless you are the server admin of the location where the photos are stored, in which case then the answer is go right ahead and make them read-only.

Which macbook pro for lightroom and photoshop

Have my eye on the two 15" models. One with Intel iris pro graphics, the other that also has the nvidia gt 750m. Maybe I'm making mountains from molehills. You can tell me if you think that's the case
I will use my laptop at home always attached to a large screen. It's what I do with my current, April 2008 macbook pro. Right now a 25" NEC. I may add an additional screen as well, so I might have two screens besides the laptop, one attached via hdmi.
Right now I don't do video work. No gaming concerns for me. Photoshop and Lightroom the bulk of my work. 70,000 image Lr catalog. Large size photoshop files. Well near 1 gb sometimes with several layers.
If I buy the mbp with just the intel iris pro graphics card I'm thinking to upgrade processor to 2.5ghz. Will also upgrade ssd to 500gb. Or do I need, will I benefit from the nvidia card and card switching, dgpu?
I've just been reading about problems with the discrete graphics card version. Problems with freezing video, some with problems looking at certain websites via a browser firefox or safari. I wonder if that's only with older versions of the mbp.
And that the mbp with the dgpu, the nvidia gt 750m always uses that card when there is an external monitor attached. Creates additional heat for the computer.
Just looking for some advice before i hand over the cash. There is only a 100 difference in price so in the end I'm not concerned about cost. Just want a computer to do what I need, do it well, and for me to have as few problems as possible. I do like to keep my computers a long time. This current mbp is seven years old in a month. The computer I had before that, a G4, lasted me eight years.
thanks for advice...

The 2.6 Haswell i7 processor should be just fine - you really don't need the faster processors. Since Lightroom caches so much, though, it would be nice to keep most of that in RAM - much faster than writing/reading to a flash storage device - so I would recommend 16GB of RAM as you cannot ever upgrade the RAM on your own (or even through Apple).
You should be able to do anything on your MacBook Pro as on your iMac - albeit on a smaller screen!

Serial Number for Lightroom 5.7.1 HELP!

When I bought my new camera, I got a package with CD's and serial numbers for Lightroom 5 and premiere elements 12. I only used the Lightroom one, and of course I lost the CD. I just recently formatted my hard drive and when I wanted to download Lightroom again (I thought I could do it online and just use the serial number that I had in this package) I got the 5.7.1 version. The serial number I already had did not work for this version. Can this be fixed or do I have to buy a new serial number?

your lr 5 serial number should work for lr 5.7.1

Not sure about derviatives, file types, and export for lightroom

hello:
I am a new LR user and new to the DAM process. I am confused about something that is probably basic and fundamental to this process. My computer setup is two internal drives (working drive and a photo archive), as well as external backup and burning to dvd. Using LR for both image adjustment and catalog management (not using Photoshop). For raw I will be converting to dng on ingestion. I will add bulk metadata on ingestion and then bring images into LR to rate images and make basic image adjustments. These images will then be archived as originals.
Now, if I perform additional work on any of these archived images (addl. image adjustment or metadata) would these images be considered derviatives? If so, would I then go to export in LR to add to file name (e.g., masterfile, master.dng or .tif) before sending to, for instance, a working derviative folder before sending off to the archive?
Also, if I am sending these images to archive, but not sending out for email or web, do I need to change the dng to another file type (e.g., tif)?
Lastly, I have some old jpegs on media cards that I want to put through this process. Is there anything special that I need to do in handling these images versus dealing with raw?
I have read the DAM book as well as reading through various online resources, but this whole process is quite confusing for a beginner.
Please respond anytime.
Thanks
joe.

Lightroom is a non-destructive editor. This may be different than anything you have used in the past.
With non-destructive editors, there is no concept of original and derivative (unless you choose to use a 2nd program like Photoshop, sounds like you're not planning to do that). With a non-destructive editor, you make your changes in the editor (Develop Module), and these instructions are stored by Lightroom as a "recipe" and not as a distinct file on your hard disk. These instructions about your edits are applied whenever you use Lightroom to view your image (or whenever you choose to print from Lightroom or make a slidesehow from LR or make a web page from LR). The original is completely unchanged, and there is no edited derivative photo exported or saved. Thus, there is no need to segregate original and edited photo, because there is no saved edited photo. Additional edits in Lightroom are handled the same, original is unchanged, your edits are stored, and there is no derivative or saved photo.
The only time you would save a copy of the photo is if you wanted a copy for some non-Lightroom purpose, in which case you use File->Export... to make a file on disk in a "temporary" folder, then you use the file created in whatever non-Lightroom purpose you have, and when completed, you can delete the file in the temporary folder, knowing that LR can re-create it exactly if you ever need it again. If you are going to print from LR, or e-mail from LR, or create a web page from LR, or create a slideshow from LR, you do not need to create an exported photo.
JPGs and RAWs and DNGs are all handled the same by you, the user. Yes, there is internal differences that aren't important to your workflow.
