Develop Settings Not Transferring to Lightroom CC

Dear support,
I just upgraded my catalog from LR 5.7 to LR CC. The develop settings in LR 5.7 (i.e. exposure, white balance, etc.) are all zero values in LR CC. I have thousands of photos. There's no way I want to re-enter all my settings for each photo. Is this a bug in LR CC?
Wade

Are you able to confirm that you've done a direct comparison using the same image between the LR5 and LRCC catalogs? If you followed the normal upgrade method, having all develop settings reverted to the default zero positions is extremely unusual....in fact this is the first time I've heard of it, hence my puzzlement. If possible, could you show us a screenshot of such a comparison, showing the sliders in the Basic panel and the contents of the History panel for the same image in both catalogs? It would help us try to figure out what's happened here.
After that, I guess the next logical thing to try would be to run through the upgrade process again, but maybe save that thought for later. Let's see if we can figure our way through this.
Your reference to the XMP data is interesting. Did you have "Auto write to XMP" enabled in the LR5 catalog settings?

Why are Network Settings not Transferring from a Master DMG to the Desitination

Hi people,
can anyone assist me with finding out why Network Settings are NOT transferred from a source Master HD to a DMG to a Destination HD.
I have many hours spent trying to debug this - any pointers to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Background:
I administer about 400 Macs of mixed types / generations (iMacs - MacBooks - MacBook Pro's).
We create master setups for different locations / purposes around the Campus and transfer these masters to DMGs.
We then clone the various macs as needed from these DMGs using a variety of methods including local (FW800 - USB) and network transfers.
The newest master (staffHD at 10-8-2) works perfectly but trying to clone / copy it by any method leaves out the custom network settings and you only end up with the default Wi-Fi / Ethernet / Firewire with total loss of the additional services and custom proxy settings.
Methods used to date to try the transfer (all get the same null result)
to-from DMG using Disk Utility
to-from Sparse Image via Disk Utility
to-from DMG using Carbon Copy Cloner
to-from Sparse Image via Carbon Copy Cloner
direct to 'target disk' via FW800 using Disk Utility
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using Carbon Copy Cloner
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using rsync -aHv
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using cp -Rv
Everything BUT the network settings transfer perfectly (excluding of course the usual trackpad / mouse custom settings).
I guess something is wrong with this master source but for the life of me I can't work it out. I have seen it in the past but it seemed to work itself out with the next revision - this one just wont.
HELP!
Have a Great day!

Hi Linc,
thanks for the reply - I suspected a hardware issue or some sort of privledges problem, but as far as I know have only had this problem with Mountain Lion, and it still fails on hardware like to like transfers. I was hoping to avoid needing anything addidtional but it looks like I'll have to.
Have a Great day!

Raw adjustments made in Photoshop CS file browser are not transferring to Lightroom 4.

I have thousands of images all on external hard drives with raw adjustments made in Photoshop CS file browser. When I import these raw files from the external drive into Lightroom 4 the original raw adjustments are not transferring or at least the preview of those adjustments are not showing up the way they do in file browser. Why? Please help.

Hi JGJenson,
Were the images already imported into iPhoto when you edited them in PS?
If they were then in order for the edit to be reflected within iPhoto you have to save with the same name.
So you need to navigate the iPhoto Library in the Finder and drag out the images that you saved back into the library with the different names. Drag them to the desktop, then import them from there.
If you are using PS as an external editor that you set up within iPhoto's preferences then the images must be saved with the same name and be flattened for the edits to be reflected within iPhoto.
If you want to save them with a different name, they must not be saved into the iPhoto Library. They need to be saved to the desktop and then imported into iPhoto.

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
Chris

Lightroom 2 develop settings not stored in Tiff images

Hello,
I'm running windows XP, LR 2.0 and have all the Metadata changes checked.
When I edit a photo in LR the develop setting do not show up in any other Photo editor, Photoshop CS3, ACDSEE, etc..
I've tired writing metadata to files and the changes are seen other than LR. I want to upload these images to a stock photo web site.
Regards,
Jeff

Jeff,
if you want to see changes done in LR also in other programs like ACDsee and other you don't need to export changes but the whole picture.
If you checked "automatically write changes to xmp" it doesn't mean you can see the changes in other programs. It only means your changes are written in xmp file (raw) or in the first (normally invisible) part in jpeg or tiff (you can see it if you open jpeg in notepad). But it doesn't mean your file is rendered (raw) or your bitmap file is changed in a visible way. Frankly to say LR doesn't export changes but only a prescript which says what changes should be done if you will use this picture in a program which can read this prescript (today it is only LR and up-to-date CameraRaw).
You can export everywhere. If you want to see changes in other programs, your folder doesn't need contain changes (prescripts) but whole changed picture.

Settings not transferring through qmaster.

I've been working with compressor for the last year or so but I can't figure this out.
I have my source material, which is interlaced, so I select top first. I have it set to a progressive output with deinterlacing. This works fine when I use it with just my computer, however I have 2 other computers to help with the processing. When I choose to use qmaster, it ignores all the setting i've chosen.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm using compressor 3

Out of the items you listed Favorites, ringtone assignments...the Sync should actually save only the text messages in the backup...
Ring assignments are not saved nor are bookmarks that are then synced back from iTunes settings...If you have bookmarks set to save that is...
Typically user settings are saved like key clicks on off and 3g on or what's the default email account etc...few things are not saved but texts should have been...
When you restored it sounds like you chose "Set up as new iPhone" probably per Apple store Genius direction...doing this DOES NOT put back ay settings or text etc... It's the best option choice if trying to rid your phone from bugs in the OS but sadly all data is required to be synced back and settings are lost...
You should still have the old backup ...you can choose to restore from back up to get settings back as you liked...

Canon CR2 custom settings not transferring to converted DNG file

Hi,
First post & using 8.6 on Mac OSX 10.9.4 shooting Canon 1Dx.
After years of sucessfully converting Canon CR2 files with custom settings to DNG for archiving, just recently I’ve been having an issue where the actual settings aren’t transferring or being recognised.
It used to work easy & fast by just selecting the Canon CR2 files with their sidecars and drag/dropping straight onto the DNG Converter which I have sitting in the dock, then hit the convert button.
Yes, the files still convert to DNG but no custom settings. The file is like the original unprocessed raw image
Any solutions anyone?

Thank you everyone, much appreciated.
After posting last night I thought about reproducing the same issue on my laptop (MacBook Pro) as I run the same software (PS CC 2014, ACR 8.6, DNG Converter 8.6) and workflow as on my main Mac.
And yes, the problem is definitely reproducible.
Then had a lightbulb moment by downloading & trying an earlier version of DNG converter (v8.5)
Voila! Lo & behold the problem is gone. 8.5 is king
So I’m with you ssprengal, it appears DNG 8.6 is somewhat buggy when it comes to transferring/recognizing customised settings in the way I normally do it.
(ie drag drop CR2 + Sidecars onto DNG Converter)
FYI, when editing CR2 files direct in the ACR 8.6 dialogue window I can convert to DNG with settings intact....but for me that workflow holds up ACR for eding on other work
FYI_2
Usual editing workflow goes like this:-
Edit CR2 files direct in ACR 8.6
Save files as Jpegs, Tiff etc or whatever client needs
Hide or quit ACR
Go to folder where CR2 & sidecar files are.
Select all, drag drop onto DNG converter
Press convert
I run this workflow only so it frees up ACR for further editing (say on a different job)
Some jobs run into hundreds of final images, so efficiency is key.
ACR works while the DNG converter is working (on other files) in the background.

Develop settings did not transfer in Lightroom 5

Hi, when I upgraded my catalog from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5, it appears that not all of the my develop settings transfered for all photos. If I am to open the catalog in Lightroom 4, the appear to still exist. How can I see all the settings in Lightroom 5.
-Thanks Todd

Hey ssprengel,
No, I can't really make sense of any pattern. I edited almost all of my photos directly in Lightroom 4 using the develop module.
When I purchased Lightroom 5, I attempted to open the catalog I had used with Lightroom 4 and it told me it would be upgraded. I confirmed the upgrade and this is the new catalog I work with in 5. This is the catalog that does not consistently show me my develop settings from 4.
When I have upgraded Lightroom in the past, I had not run into this problem.
I do understand that I now have two separate catalogs, but in my experience, I had always thought that these settings would transfer as I did not start a new import or make a copy, all I did was upgrade the catalog.
Thanks,

Develop settings are not saved

Hello,
I'm working mainly with jpeg and psd files and trying to save all settings and metadata automatically to be able to use it from other applications (e.g.Bridge). The two catalog options "Include develop settings in metadata..." and "Automatically write changes to XMP" are activated.
However, Lightroom does not save the modifications that I made in the Develop module. All other metadata changes (ratings, title, IPTC, etc...) are saved and available in other applications. I'm using version 3.3 on 64bit Windows. I'm not 100% sure but as I recall I didn't have this problem with previous versions.
Is there any solution?
Thanks!

It's not clear what you actually expected. Outside of Lr or Camera Raw the only way that an image will be rendered as per your edits is if they had been exported (i.e. newly fully rendered version of JPEG or PSD). Simply saving the setting does nothing other than embed a bunch of metadata.

Cannot paste develop settings to multiple images in Lightroom 3

I have just started using Lightroom 3 and am only able to paste develop settings to one image. If I select multiple images it will only paste the setting to the active image, not all selected images. I never had this issue with Lightroom 2. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi Dorin
I think the complaint is still valid - there should be no reason that you should have to toggle to Auto Sync before being able to paste your develop settings to the entire target selection, not just the active image in the selection. It should work with that switch toggled to Sync mode as well -- there is obviously a bug here.
I am having the identical problem as the original poster. I am using LR 3.3 on a Mac, OS 10.6.5, in other words I cannot get develop settings to copy to all my selected target images while I am in the Develop module, only the active image within the target images, without toggling the Sync button to Auto Sync.
This even after the release notes for 3.3 say they have corrected for the problem "Paste Settings did not apply to all images in the Develop module Filmstrip" (see http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2010/12/lightroom-3-3-and-camera-raw-6-3-now-avail able.html)
This is silly. How do we ask Adobe to correct this bug?
Cheers

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

Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

I actually found under EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

Read keywords from file but not develop settings?

Is there any way to read IPTC Core metadata, but not develop settings, from a file? I'm still figuring out my Lightroom workflow and made some errors that I'd like to recover from. Here's the situation:
In Lightroom 2.x I selected images, gave them star ratings, and made initial Develop module adjustments. I did NOT write the metadata back to the files (my mistake). Later, my keywording assistant opened the files in another program (Breeze Browser) and added extensive keywords using a controlled vocabulary that works very well and very fast in Breeze. Now I have extensive caption and keyword data in the XMP sidecars, but develop settings in Lightroom's database. I need to merge them.
The slow and tedious workaround in Lightroom is to select the photo, copy the develop settings, read the metadata from the file, then paste the develop settings back in. It works, but is repetative and slow. There's not even a keyboard shortcut for reading metadata. The other tedious workaround is to export the keywords to a text file (using Breeze) and copy & paste them into Lightroom's keywords field. But that's even slower.
Is there a way to write only the develop settings to the files?
Any other suggestions on how to proceed? I have several hundred images that need to be fixed.
In the future, I know I need to write the metadata to the files after making any adjustments in Lightroom so the data travels with the files themselves and isn't just in Lightroom's database.

Ok, thanks for the reply.
I feel a bit ashamed now, because my topic title contains the function i needed...
So, assuming that i would have
String content = "458,304,0,345,432";i could split this and put this in an array string using a code like
String[] arry = null;
array = content.split("\\.");I haven't tested the code yet, cause i'll go to bed soon, but will this split all at once and put it in the array or do i have to create a loop or something ?
And is it possible to put number one using split in the array[x][v] on the x location and the others at the [v] location ? (the first number of each five has to be added to [x] and the other 4 to [v] )
Again thanks for your reply, cause im a bit further this way in accomplishing what i want to reach :)

Matching Lightroom Develop Settings to In-Camera Picture Styles

For certain shoots it would suit me to have my pictures import and look like the embedded jpegs which are created using Canon's standard picture styes. Is there an easy way to create LR develop settings to match the popular Canon styles such as Standard, Portrait and Landscape so that I get approx the same amount of sharpness, contrast, colour balance. Perhaps someone has already done that and they've shared the Lightroom Presets.

Rob Cole wrote:
Are you 100% sure the luminance noise reduction algorithm is tailored to each specific camera model, in Lightroom (and ACR) I mean?
What I stated is based on "visual" observations of raw files from three different Canon DSLR cameras inside LR and DPP. I am sure it varies from camera manufacturer and even camera model, with some models applying NR during demosaicing and others not. The Fuji X-Tran is a good example where Adobe initially had issues with the demosacing process, which affected image sharpness and noise levels. My guess is that this is done in two-steps:
1) Initial demosaicing on Import into the Develop module where the 4-pixel cell RG1BG2 raw data is converted into a "uniform" single pixel bit map with RGB values. This is the best possible place to analyze the image data for Color NR and demosaic interpolation to maximize sharpness and minimize "aliasing." How "well" this is done has a huge impact on the overall sharpness of the image. Hot pixel removal is done during demosaic processing for all camera models. Hot pixels can't be removed from JPEG and sRAW image files since they are already demosaic'd.
2) Additional Color and Luminance NR and Capture Sharpening is performed inside the Develop module using the camera raw cache data. The Luminance NR "tailoring" I refer to is probably based on "reverse engineering" of the manufacturer's raw converter algorithms. The higher the ISO the larger the NR amount applied at any given setting. In order to provide somewhat "uniform" values it would have to be based on the ISO versus Noise performance of the specific camera model. For example a 12Mp 1.6 crop sensor camera is not going to perform near as well as a 12 Mp full-frame camera of the same generation.
Attached below is my best effort in LR and DPP using a Canon 5D MKII 21Mp raw image shot with a 24mm TS-E II lens–The sharpest lens I've ever owned. It's pretty clear (pun) DPP pulls out more detail, but falls down in the tonal definition (i.e. shadow detail). The only thing this can be due to are differences in Canon's DPP demosaicing and LRs.
1:1 (100%) View
DPP Sharpening = 3 out of 10, LR Sharpening = 40, .8, 40, 0

Lightroom 2 save develop settings after folder remove?

I just upgraded to Lightroom 2 and notice that it doesn't save images' develop settings after I remove the folder from the library. So next time I reimport that folder, my develop settings previously applied to those images are gone! Anyway to fix this?

>Frankly, I don't quite understand what's going on.
Neither do I. x.x
Here is an example of what's going on.
I import a photo.
I edit that photo in Dev Module such as recovery, clarity and noise reduction(Luminance).
As I opted for "automatically write changes into XMP", now I've got those changes in the XMP sidecar file as well as in the Lightroom 2 Catalog.lrcat.
At the same time, I have now 4 lines of History including 'Import'(Highlight Recovery, Clarity, Luminance Smoothing)
Quite normal and no problem until here.
When I open that photo several days later, I suddenly have that little up-arrow icon(meaning "metadata was changed externally").
And the photo is like the one I imported without three changes I made above.
Naturally, in History, there is only one line, 'Import'.
Now I have two option,
1. "import Settings from Disk"
2. "Overwrite Settings"
If I chose 1, I have my edited photo back with 3 changes above. It's from XMP (or Catalog), I guess. However, 3 lines of changes in History disappear and only 'Import from metadata' and 'import(date and time) remain. So I can't really use history to see what exactly I've done with that photo. (Well I still can see each change with the right side panel but it's not as quick and convenient as History.
If I chose 2, of course, I lose both my edited photo and 3 lines of History. It's just as if I imported from my Compact Flash.
