Develop Module not showing edits

Running LR 5.3 from the creative cloud.  Had LR 5.2 working fine with a perpetual license.  Any edits I do in develop module are not being displayed until I change the focus to another photograph and then come back.  Also, sometimes the photo will go grey when I try to zoom in.  I have uninstalled LR and reinstalled it but it does not work.  I also reset my settings and that did not work.  The work-around was to create another user and start fresh.  However, this is not productive.  Any ideas?

Ok, I feel a wee bit sheepish. I closed LR and reopened. No more problem. I converted another photo and could see the edits in the main window--without restarting LR.

  • LR6 Develop module not working

    I have just tried to install LR 6 as a standalone (NOT CC) installation. I put in my new serial number, it told me it could not find any compatible products for the upgrade so i had to put in my LR5 serial as well. then it would not launch but told me I had to download Adobe Application Manager as well - despite choosing the non CC download I got something plastered with CC links. Ran it anyway. LR 6 now opens without warning messages but when I go to the Develop module the image space is just a blue rectangle with a white diagonal cross. What is wrong - I've done everything by the book and I have a fully paid for licensed product but it won't work !?!?!?!?

    Developer Module only shows blue square with a white cross, images are displayed in the library ok but not im developer Module

  • LR 3.2 Develop module not fluent but CPU not fully taxed

    Hello,
    on my AMD Phenom II X6 2.8GHz (Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit, 4GB RAM) I experience LR3.2(64Bit)'s Develop module not to be really fluent. Esp. manual lens correction is sluggish. I expected the CPU to be fully taxed but I only see all 6 cores at 55-70% load. I tried overclocking the CPU to 3.2GHz but it doesn't really help. The CPU load decreases to 45-60% but there is not so much of a performance difference. I don't see a difference when I switch off writing metadata to files either. I also tried to exclude JPG, CR2 and lrcat files from the virus scanner's plan. LR uses around 950MB of ram. The catalog is around 15000 files large and I work on Canon 15MP CR2 raws (around 20MB/file).
    Any idea what I could do?
    best regards,
    Fabian

    IME a lot of this slow response to sliders etc is due to graphics card and driver problems.
    Sorry Bob but I fully disagree with this. Most people having these problems with LR3 have up-to-date drivers and powerful systems. Moreover, what if Photoshop CS5, DxO Optics Pro, Bibble 5, LightZone,... work normally without any performance issue on a given system and LightRoom drives you nuts because it sometimes becomes so slow on the very same system? How could one explain that on the same system where the same display drivers are installed, LR 2 works with acceptable performances while LR 3, which is supposed to enhance these performances, brings the system down to its knee under some  circumstances?
    Finally, these performance problems are almost always appearing when using local adjustements on the Mac and on the PC. And this should be caused by a display driver that is not up-to-date?
    I regret that Adobe have been totally quiet about these problems since they appeared and especially since the release of LR 3.2. It's obviously a bug (or a series of bugs) and they could at least advertise that they are working on a fix.
    You can have the most up-to-date graphics drivers and the most powerful systems, but still suffer from bugs in the graphics drivers. Just have a look at the release notes for the latest nVidia graphics http://http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/260.89/260.89_Win7_WinVista_Desktop_Release_N otes.pdf
    This very lengthy document lists all the problems that have been solved and those that are still unsolved, and you will see that the driver has problems with some programs (games mainly) and not others, runs faster with some games and not others, has problems with some graphics cards and not others, etc. It is an absolute minefield of bugs/problems.
    I'm not saying that Adobe can't get round some of these problems themselves, as they have done in the past, and they have co-operated with nVidia in the past to solve some of the problems. They are probably still doing so.
    Local adjustments have always been the achilles heel of LR; when you read how they are done, it is not surprising that anyone expecting to do loads of local adjustments runs into problems eventually. Personally, if an image needs a lot of local adjustment, I take it into Photoshop, which is better able to do this sort of work because of the fundamental difference in the way the program works. Horses for courses!
    If you have a nVidia card, and go to the nVidia Control Panel, under 3D settings you will see a long list of variables that can be altered, and the panel has preselected sets for different programs and games. A long time ago, people showed that some of these settings had a big effect on LightRoom performance.
    I'm sure Adobe is working on all the problems that they know about, and that the next version of LR will have fixes for some of the problems. But they won't cure all of them any more than nVidia, which still has loads of problems in driver version 260! LR is only in version 3 (Photoshop is in version 11).

  • Configure "Always hide forms document message bar" and "Do not show edit warnings" for all users?

    We need to do a mass deployment of Adobe Reader XI 11.0.3 with "Always hide forms document message bar" preference setting automatically set for every user so they do not have to go through the menu and set it manually.
    Is there a way to configure this for all users with the customization wizard or another method?
    We also need to do the same for "Do not show edit warnings"
    If these are registry keys, which registry keys set these options?

    Try http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/DocumentStatus.html?zoom _highlight=message#idkeyname_1_5647.
    If that doesn't work and there's a configuration item in the preferences UI, do this:
    Get regshot.
    Close everything but Acrobat/Reader.
    Take a reg shot.
    Configure the setting via the UI.
    Tak another reg shot.
    Compare the two.
    That process will give you your answer.
    If there is no corresponding pref in the UI, then you probably can't do it.

  • Developer Module only shows blue square with a white cross, images are displayed in the library ok but not im developer Module

    Ive just updated to LR 6 from LR 5.
    The app seemed to launch ok but as I was looking around none of my photos will open in the developer module, they just have a blue box with white cross??

    It seems to be something to do with Lightroom 6 accessing the GPU. I had this problem and under the "Performance" tab in "Preferences" (Edit menu), there's a box that says "Use graphics processor". I unticked this box and now the images are displayed in the developer module. I'll need to investigate further to find out why Lightroom is not working with my GPU but at least I can use it now.

  • Develop settings not showing up in library module view of image

    Hi there
    A quick question about an issue I have not seen before.  Imported a raw image .cr2 file from a Canon S95.  Opened develop module and applied clarity, vibrance and sauration adjustements.  Clicked back to Library module and the adjustments have not been made.  Clicked back to Develop and they are there.  Have tried closing LR5 and reopening - the image adjustments are still visibile in Develop, but not in Library.  Any thoughts?  Is this a software issue or a hardware issue (have just upgraded from LR4).  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lee - I'll keep LR running for a while to see what happens.  I did notice that when I did the import of the image, the thumbnails of the images from the SD card were not immediately rendered.  it was possible to see the images by clicking on each one.  When I had previewed each image individually, the thumbnails were visible.  I suppose its possible that my hardware is running very slowly as welll.
    Thanks

  • Develop Mode 2nd Monitor not showing edit adjustments

    I am using Lightroom 4.1 RC2 on a Windows 7 64 bit system with dual monitors. When I am in the develop mode and make edit adjustments on any setting the 2nd monitor does not update. If I move to another image then come back the image is updated but it does not work in real time. I have never had this problem before and it worked fine in Lightroom V4.0

    It's a bug in LR4.1 RC2.
    The workaround seems to be to increase the size of the Standard Preview setting (File Handling tab of the Catalog Settings)....go up at least one setting (e.g. if it's currently 1024 change it to 1440 or 1680). No need to recreate your previews, just increasing the setting seems to work in most cases.
    You might also, without realising it, be suffering a fairly dramatic memory leak which is also stopped by changing the settings.

  • Develop module not displaying photos and tool updates.

    This problem just cropped up on a previously working install - Windows 7, LR 5.6
    The large display of the image in the develop module does not update for any of the actions selected in the develop module.  Pick a tool, make an adjustment - you cannot see the results of your adjustment on the large image.  The image in the filmstrip does display the results of the adjustment.  Selecting the crop tool causes the image to go grey.
    Using the simple tools in the library module - they all work and show the proper results.
    I have uninstalled LR and re-installed.
    I have purged previews.
    I have deleted "Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs".
    What next?
    David Hidding

    Further info - Full Screen mode in the Develop Module - it's just black, no image.  FS mode in the Library module works correctly.
    I have tried loading the latest video drivers for my video card, rebooted multiple times, etc.  Frustrated.
    I should also note that this problem started right in the middle of an editing session, everything was fine, and then suddenly, the image stopped updating.

  • Lightroom not showing edits made in ACR

    I edited photos in Adobe Camera Raw from Bridge, but when I look at the same files in Lightroom, they do not appear to include the edits.  I did verify that xmp files were created when I edited the files in ACR.  Why is Lightroom not reading the xmp file and showing the edits?

    I appreciate the detailed response.  I have been told by a photography instructor that it makes sense to use both Lightroom and Photoshop together and that Lightroom is for end-to-end workflow (which Photoshop is not capable of).  I was not aware that Lightroom is only designed for front-end workflow.  Is there any formal documentation on this that I can read to understand the purpose of Lightroom?
    The Adobe website has some good introductory videos. I think this is a great place to start:
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
    but the other videos can be found behind the Products and Channels links toward the top of that video's webpage.
    The recommendation to use Lightroom with Photoshop, rather than LR on its own, is somewhat akin to recommending Bridge + ACR + PS, except it makes less sense to even think of using Bridge+ ACR on thier own without Photoshop. You can do a lot with LR on its own but not quite everything. On the other hand, those specific tasks which you cannot do in LR may be done using some other editing software than PS, including many cheap and even free alternatives, or using older versions of PS even if they are not ACR-compatible with your camera.
    When you use Bridge, the Raw conversion and similar types of parametric editing are assigned to ACR and the rest is passed to Photoshop. Bridge cannot directly print or export without calling on another program or utility to do that. It can only view preview thumbnails and manage metadata and issue instructions to other software. ACR cannot paint, warp, use layers, etc - because it belongs to the same basic class of software, as Lightroom's Develop module capabilities.. in fact there is a very close functional correspondence between these two, and deliberately so; so that the image adjustment parameters involved can be inter-compatible.
    When you use Lightroom, the Raw conversion and parametric editing can be very efficiently taken care of internally by LR so ACR does not need to be involved. This works especially well for dynamically applying edits across batches of images on the fly, previewing the effect of processing presets (recipes), making use of a full history of the changes applied to each image, and so on, You can print or export directly without leaving the parametric realm, a little as if you were able to do so from inside ACR.
    But when an image editing task is required that is not of this parametric kind (such as compositing, detailed retouching other than a little dustspotting, etc) then just as Bridge can pass an image into PS that will be saved as a new file version, Lightroom can also do the same using its own workflow that does not involve Bridge.
    The method is very simple: a new LR image version is created based on a brand new working file saved to disk. Ctrl+E or right-click and select "Edit in... Photoshop". and your image as it currently appears in LR, is automatically opened inside PS. Save when you are finished, and the PS-edited changes appear inside LR transparently. Then you carry on working with that, in the same way as for any other image inside LR,

  • Develop module not working

    My develop module is not fully opening. The only items it is allowing me to edit is lens profile correction, vignetting. Please tell me how to restore the full develop module starting with temperture, contrast, blacks, whites, shadows, etc., all the way down the whole module. Thank you.

    What happens if you right click on "Lens Corrections"? Do you get a menu where you can put check marks next to the other panels? If so, then put those checkmarks there.

  • Crop in Develop is not showing the change

    In the past, I have been changing my default image size to a 2:3 format by selecting it from the drop down list while in the Develop module or by pressing R. After adjusting the image, it used to display 2:3 under the lock, but now it is going back to AS SHOT.
    I am using a Windows 7 machine with LR 4.2.
    I like knowing I have a custom crop ratio, but have no idea if it is being applied by looking at images in LR.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    M. Jackson

    Hi again,
    An uncropped image from my D4 is 3280 x 4928 pixels.  2/3 of 4928 is actually 3285.333333333333.   Or, if using the smaller side to set the ratio,  2:3 image would be 3280 x 4920. I doubt many printers would notice 5-8 pixels, but computers can definitely keep track of them.  Like I was mentioning in the OP, earlier versions of LR reflected the 2:3 change if I clicked on it, cropping 8 pixels off the sides (4 pixels each side).
    I am adding a screen grab from an earlier edit in an earlier version of LR. You can see the notation in this image indicating a 2x3 aspect crop. If I do the same thing now (in LR 4.2), it will show As Shot instead of 2x3 /4x6.

  • Develop changes not showing in Library preview

    Changes made in Develop Module are not visible in Library Module. This has never happened before. In Dev Mod it takes a few seconds for the image to load and show the adjustments I made to color and shadows. As soon as I click back to Library the changes seem to disappear. I exported the files, but the changes did not appear in the TIF files created. I shut down Lightroom 5.7 and started again, no better. Any ideas?

    Finally found the answer through much trouble-shooting and looking at my monitor's color space. It seems that RAW files viewed in the Library module are Adobe RGB color profile. My NEC MultiSync PA241W monitor is currently set to native color gamut, which is larger than Adobe RGB in the reds! When viewing the RAW file in the Develop Module my computer monitor was able to present colors visible in the native color gamut but not visible in an Adobe RGB color space. Colors I need!

  • A div in a site am developing is not showing in firefox but shows on all the other browsers (chrome, safari, opera and explorer), can anyone help?

    i am developing a site and i used divs in making the arrangements.
    all other divs on the page shows but on particular one does not show.
    i gave all the divs a border with a red color, all the other browsers(explorer, opera, chrome and safari ) shows the divs with the colors but firefox does not even show the red color

    Can you post a test case demonstrating the problem? It doesn't need to contain confidential content or active links. (This forum doesn't handle raw HTML very well, so I don't recommend pasting code here unless you convert your angle brackets to HTML entities.)

  • Flash gallery in web module not showing

    When using the web module the flash galleries do not show anymore; there is simply a black screen in the center panel. The HTLM galleries show alright. The problem started a few days ago when I updated to Adobe Flash Player 11. Any suggestions?

    I don't know that much about PC's, but you need to open the browser and click on the preferences, I think in the same way as you would do with a Mac and click on select javascript.
    Rather than Firefox, get them to download a copy of Safari for PC from the Apple site.
    Other than this I am not really sure of a solution, other than telling them to buy a Mac instead!!
