Display resolution problem with Lightroom 5 on a laptop

I installed Lightroom 5 on my older Lenovo laptop with 12080x768 native screen resolution. This meets the minimum display requirements, BUT... When I open Lightroom and try to set up preferences, the lower part of the preferences window is displayed off the bottom of the screen and I am unable to move it up to make changes. This problem occurs with other Lightroom windows also. So I can not use Lightroom 5 on this laptop. Any idea how to solve the problem?

as long as your computer meets lr5's specs, no.

Display resolution problems with Snow Leopard

I have a 'PC' monitor that when using Leopard worked with the correct resolution at the correct proportions (I'm after 1400 x 960) but since I've installed Snow Leopard that resolution is only available intermittently. I've just switched my Mac on this morning an it's reverted to 800x600.
I don't really want to mess around with apps like SwitchRes, for fear of messing it all up.
I sthere a solution?

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.

Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

Please help Duncan

you'll need both serial numbers to install the lr 5 upgrade.
if you purchased and downloaded lr 4 from adobe or registered with adobe, you may be able to find your lr 4 serial number under the account used to make that purchase/registration (not necessarily your current adobe id), Adobe ID
and adobe support may be able to help you, contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Resolution problem with GF4 Ti4200-TD 128MB DDR

I am having problems when I switch my display resolution to 640x480x32.
It also affects any application which runs in the affected resolution.
I tried re-installing the VGA card in its AGP slot and its drivers after removing my previous VGA card and its drivers.
The driver that i am using for the MSI VGA card, which is 4.13.2890, is already updated via LiveUpdate, which is now 4.1.3.3000
My system consists of:
AOpen AX34 Pro Motherboard
AGP 2X / 4X
Intel Pentium III 800MHz
512MB RAM
Direct X 8.1
Windows Me
Looking forward to you reply. Thank you for your help.

izel,
Get the latest Via 4in1 Drivers and try running the Card in AGP 2X. Do not expect much from the Via Apollo Pro 133 Chipset. Lots of problems with the GART.
Take Care,
Richard

Windows 7 display resolution problem on iMac 27"

Hi, I have an iMac 27" that is running bootcamp with Windows 7. The resolution on the OS X is fine, but on the Windows 7 side, it is messed up. The display resolution choices make the screen look all stretched and weird; I cannot select the same resolution as I have on the OSX side. The display drivers say that they are generic, so I tried installing manufactuer's drivers. That did not work since they couldn't detect the correct monitor. I've run software update on he Mac OSX side, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

updates for osx will not affect windows
in osx one can make a packet with all drivers required for bootcamp windows do that
and if you need drivers for windows download the mobile version what amd/ati and nvidia call desktop videocards
are not the type used in imacs they use the laptop versions

Xorg nvidia resolution problems with KDE

I just installed Arch 2008.04-RC last night. I configured xorg.conf using nvidia with the screen resolution set to "1440x900" which worked in both the X Windows and KDE 3.5.9.
I was trying to get xine working with Amarok. At one point, I deleted ~/.xine and xinirtc to force itself to reset. I then rebooted at which point I noticed the resolution set only at "640x400" in KDE. I checked the Display Settings and that was the maximum resolution I could choose. I then switched to the vesa drivers which allowed a maximum resolution of "1024x768".
I removed xorg and nvidia and reinstalled. I can no longer get a resolution of "1440x900" resolution for my Viewsonic VA1926v flat screen monitor. I read on the xorg log that
I am using the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT video graphics card. uname -r: 2.6.25-ARCH
From /var/log/Xorg.0.log I get the following information when I am using vesa:

I am at a loss at trying to fix this one. Something similar happened when I was running Gentoo on this same desktop back in April. I also have the same low resolution problem when using Sabayon.
Any help here would be much appreciated :-)

I thought these frequencies were a bit low too. My manual said there were the frequencies. I checked online and it said the same. I need to do more research on it.
I did manage to get my 1440x900 resolution back using the open source nv drivers. I had to do the same with Gentoo and Linux Mint in the past. Everytime I used the nvidia drivers, my monitor returns to the 640x400 resolution and I noticed the only way to avoid it was to use nv. I do not play games online or use Compiz so it does not bother me.
Thanks.

External monitor resolution problems with Mountain Lion

I have a problem with my external monitor (Samsung LS19B150NS) and Mountain Lion (running on unibody Mac Mini). Each time I reboot OSX the resolution get reset from native 1366 x 768 to something lower. The display is connected via DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter. Some observations:
- I tried selecting "Best for..." option or "Scaled" (set on 1366 x 768 or 1360 x 768). The problem is still there
- Sometimes resoltuion might stay alright for several reboots, but then the problem re-appears again
- Sleep mode doesn't reset resolution
- Other monitors work fine via the same adapter
- The Samsung LS19B150NS work perfectly well with other Win PCs
Any suggestions how to fix it?

Resolution problems with Acer aspire 5520

Hello,
I'm having trouble making both tty and Xorg resolution be native. I have an nVidia 7000M gpu.With nouveau drivers I managed to get KMS working, but realized Xorg resolution is wrong. If I set the right resolution with xrandr the problem with tiling WMs similar to what I explained in this thread. What is different is mouse can go to the blank part and still be visible, floating windows could be placed in the blank area or resized to full screen, but WM won't ever place windows there. Some tiling WMs are able to utilize the full width of the screen. WMs that do not work like this are dwm, wmii and musca.
Dwm has problems displaying conky in its bar (cuts of a lot of output). This made me think the problem is not the resolution/driver and, dwm being my favourite WM, helped hiding the problem.
Wmii utilises the whole screen after change of resolution, but leaves an unmovable vertical line where right edge of a window used to be prior to resolution change.
Musca just works, but could take some getting used to.
All floating WMs work perfectly.
Then I tried nVidia closed source drivers, which worked perfectly in Xorg. The problem was no KMS. I installed and enabled uvesafb, but it did not change the maximum tty resolution from 1024x768.
The WMs I tried:
dwm
fluxbox
i3
musca
snapwm
spectrwmsubtle
A lot of others I either did not like, or they required some configuration to even start
What I tried to fix the problem: various xrandr options (with nouveau), various kernel command line options (with nvidia) and what was mentioned in arch wiki about screen xorg configuration. Nothing I did to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-screen.conf" had any effect so I just deleted the file to ease switching between nouveau and nvidia.
As to which driver I intend to use... I don't care as long as it can display everything correctly.
P.S.
/etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf has only one lien
options uvesafb mode_option=1280x800-32 scroll=ywrap
cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes
says top resolution is 1024x768.
EDIT:
Just now I've tried every tiling WM I could find, and the ones working are echinus, musca and qtile.

Problem with Compaq Presario V6000 laptop

Hi forum members! I am a newbie to this forum and i would like to introduce myself, my name is Hammy and I am from Glasgow. I have a problem with my laptop whih is a Compaq Presario V6000 running windows Vista, 32 bit product number V6254EA.
A few weeks ago when i turned on the computer it failed to boot up, the only thing visible on the screen is the bar at the bottom of the screen with `Microsoft Corporation` displayed below it.
I have tried starting it up in SAFE MODE but all that happens is that a certain amount of windows system drivers are loaded and then goes no further!
I have purchased recovery discs with no joy! I have also tried a hard reset which has not solved the problem. I tried the `hard drive self test, which after approx 30 seconds carrying out a quick test displayed the following message #1- 07 Fail.
If it is the hard drive or the motherboard that has failed is it possible to replace them.
Thanks

Did you burn the recovery disks? Will follow up with the manual and a link to buy the hdd.

Problem with Lightroom and Epson Printer

I'm suddenly having problems printing from Lightroom. I have Lightroom 1.4.1 installed on an iMac G5, and have an Epson Photo Stylus R2400. I've been using this combination from the beginning with no problems. Now suddenly when I try to print I get an error message that says Media is out or not loaded correctly. Neither is the case. I have tried restarting my computer, the printer and everything else I can think of, but nothing works. I can print from any other application without problems, so I'm assuming it's an issue with Lightroom.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I was going to uninstall lightroom and do a reinstall but I can't find my installation disc. Now I'm at a loss to figure out what to do.
Thanks,
Craig

Try deleting you prefs file and/or print templates.
Lightroom is unique to many other programs in that it saves and restores printer settings. Some bad data may tried to be passes. A "fresh start" might help.

Problem with Lightroom and Infrared Photography

This problem is specifically related to using LR & PS to process Infrared images. I apologize if this forum may not be the correct place to ask this question. I am having problems processing Infrared Images when using LR & PS. I take my IR images with a 530 IR conversion to a Canon G12 camera. I learned early on Adobe products don't play well with IR images (they come in magenta when importing ) so I bring IR images shot withmy G12 into my computer with Canon Digital Photo Professional and then work in LR & PS from there.
If I then directly open this imported image from my hard drive into Photoshop and try and do adjustments such as blue sky adjustments with a red/blue channel swap, it works fine, just as I would expect.
(If you are not familiar with IR processing, I understand this introduction and question will not make sense)
But when using Lightroom, I sometimes have issues. I always import all my images into LR. Even with IR images, after using DPP to bring them to my computer, I import them into LR for cataloging purposes and to make other potential adjustments. Then my usual workflow is to move photos from LR to Photoshop via the "edit in" command. This opens a dialog box giving a choice of "edit a copy with LR adjustments" which is the default option and the one I always use, or "edit original".
Here's the interesting thing I finally discovered.
If I send the photo from LR to PS using the "edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" option, I get a bad blue sky effect, where the sky is green and the foliage is pink instead of the sky being blue and the foliage yellow. But if I send it to PS using the "edit original" option, the blue sky effect works fine.
So there appears to be an issue when tring to send IR images from Lightroom to Photoshop. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for working on this.
I fear the behavior you noticed was just due to the fact I cheanged the
file from 16 bit to 8 bit so the size was smaller and I could easily email
it. When I open any of my regular 16 bit files, whether I send them to PS
as "edit original" or "edit copy with lightroom adjustments", they both end
up as 16 bit and as far as I can see, seem the same, though obviously they
are not.
I don't really have a preset, but I'll walk you through the process.
1. Choose Channel Mixer from the Adjustment Pannel
2. Make sure the output channel is red, change the red channel slider from
100% to 0% and increase the blue channel slider from 0% to 100%. You can
type in the values.
3. Change the output channel to blue. Increase the red channel from 0% to
100% and the blue channel from 100% to 0%.
This is supposed to change the sky from brown to blue and the foliage from
blue to yellow and is what happens when you use the "edit original"
option. When you use the "edit copy with lightroom adjustments", the sky
turns green and the foliage pink. So you get 2 different behaviors,
depending on which option you use to bring the image from LR to PS.
That's my question, why do you get 2 different behaviors?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Exposure problem with Lightroom 4 CS5 and Raw 6.7

Hi all
I have recently upgraded from Lightroom 3.6 to the new Lightroom 4 and am genrally pretty happy with it, I tend to use it along with photoshop CS5 extended and also imagenomic Portraiture, but I have found an annoying little problem in doing this and something that I never suffered with when using Lightroom 3.6 and it is this...
when I take an image from Lightroom 4 and click Edit image in Photoshop CS5 and then use Imageonmic to soften skin etc all seems to work well I then carry out any touching up within Photoshop and once finished save it back to lightroom for any final tweaks etc which is fine and all works smoothly, except once I have saved it back to Lightroom the exposure has been pushed up about 3-4 stops at least , meaning I then have to pull it down again and this can sometimes result in extra editing I could do with out. now I know its not the end of the world and is probably just a bug that I'm hoping will be sorted within Lightroom 4 but I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? (although I'm doing the same with Lighroom 4 as i used to do with LIghtroom 3.6 and that worked fine)
Oh one more thing I should mention to get lightroom 4 and CS5 to work properly together I had to go into the Adobe Labs site and download the Camera RAW 6.7 software for CS5 so it could also be a bug here i guess.

There have been several posts over on the Lightroom forum, and other non-Adobe forums also, about this issue: it seems that there's a bug in ACR 6.7RC which causes the image to be over-expose, compared with the setting applied using PV2012 in LR. I guess this is the kind of thing a Release Candidate is supposed to flag up! I was all set to upgrade my own ACR to ensure that PS would recognise my LR4 edits (I normally avoid RC versions and wait for the final), but all the reports of this problem have stopped me from doing so.
In the meantime, best option so far as I'm aware is to process the image in LR (you get the option when you choose to edit in PS), meaning that it does all the rendering before passing it over to PS (otherwise, ACR handles the conversion of the raw file into TIFF). This does however mean that smart-objects and so on are temporarily out of the equation.
I'm sure this will all be resolved pretty soon.
Edit: in fact, one of the posts I mentioned is about ten posts down in this very forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/974963?tstart=0
