Does Lightroom 5.7 do focus or image stacking.

No. Use an external editor for that - e.g. Photoshop, Elements, GIMP...

Does Lightroom 4.2 support d3200 Raw images

I tried importing but all that showed up was the JPEG. Is there a plugin available?
Thanks in advance.

According to this, LR 4.2 should support it.
It may be an operating system issue if you are connecting directly to the camera via USB. Try to use a card reader instead.
P.S. There are no "raw-support-plugins" for LR (like for Photoshop). Raw support updates in LR are always done by a completely new LR update version which contains the newest build-in Camera Raw (which cannot be updated separately like in Photoshop).
Edit: Correction: Must read: no "raw-support-plugins" (not now ...)

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,
Nik

Does lightroom have photo merge or do you need full photoshop?

does lightroom have photo merge or do you need full photoshop?

You're welcome. If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements installed, when you right-click on an image in Lightroom and choose to edit in one of those programs, one of the options is to merge to a panorama using that program. If you don't have program installed that will do that the option will not appear.

Does Lightroom make Bridge obsolete?

I'm new to Lightroom, and really like the simplicity of Bridge. I find Lightroom very confusing and with duplicate features of Photoshop. I particularly find the "catalog" feature very confusing. Bridge is very intuitive and the Explorer metaphor works like one would expect. I can manage my images perfectly, with no confusion. I like the combination of Bridge, ACR, and Photoshop CS5. Why would I need Lightroom? PS: I don't need "tethering" feature of LR. One more question: I wonder if in the future Adobe will get rid of Bridge (because it's free) and make people buy LR. ???

I like the simplicity of Bridge, and how everything I do with files (managing folders, deleting/moving files, etc) works exactly like in Windows Explorer. However, once I understand LR, and the way I can catalog images and search images, I may find that I use both--Bridge for truly managing the images and folders, and LR for cataloging images for rapid search. I plan on giving LR the benefit of the doubt and working with it before categorically rejecting it.

LR might be confusing at first, particularly if one doesn't that LR is not a browser-type program but a data base program. It's data base being the catalog.LR is far superior than Bridge for image management. You willbe able to apreciate this only after you have dived deep into LR. But, Bridge still remains useful just because it's a browser based program. It will display everything that is on the hard drive - as far as image files are concerned, whereas LR displays only what has been imported. Also, Bridge displays image files that are not supported in LR. But after 5 years of working with LR I have to say, it's a fantastic program (despite some flaws) and I could not do the work I'm doing without LR. WW

Where does Lightroom keep my photos?

I always import my photos from my CF card into my USB external hard drive. When I view my hard drive, Finder shows all my photos and I always thought that's where my pictures were.
Then, I unplugged my laptop, took it to another location, and run Lightroom on battery. Wait a minute, all the photos I thought were on the USB external hard drive which is now disconnected showed up and play perfectly in slide show.
I went Finder through every file in the Macintosh HD, I can't see a single photo, yet Lightroom is definitely keeping a copy of it somewhere in the Mac HD.
My questions are:
(1) Where does Lightroom hide these photos?
(2) How does this impact my Macintosh HD storage capacity?
(3) How can I remove these photos from the Macintosh HD so that if I lost my Macbook Pro, the thief cannot steal my photos.
Please help.
Thank you all in advance.
Eddie

What you are seeing are the previews that Lr generates for every image that gets imported.
(1) These previews are not hidden but are in the same directory as the Lr database. Read more here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=333660
(2) Lr previews -- depending on what size you generate and the number of images imported -- can consume a lot of space. But disk is cheap.
(3) Paranoia is no reason to delete the previews. Don't lose your laptop!

Where does Lightroom display color space?

Where does Lightroom display color space assigned to an image? It should be in the metadata panel. In Bridge it displays Color Mode: RGB/B&W and Color Space: sRGB/Gray Gamma 2.2. Or does Lightroom convert everything to Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB?

LR's internal working space is a variation of the ProPhoto RGB space, ProPhoto RGB's gamut but with a linear tone curve instead of the standard gamma 1.8 curve. This is because it is primarily a Raw editor and Raw sensor data is linear and because the ProPhoto gamut will more or less include all the colors most digital cameras can capture (depending on the filters in front of the lens, some cameras may capture ultra-red that is outside ProPhoto RGB). Retaining the linearity of the data makes editing calculations easier, faster, more flexible and more accurate since data has not been lost to the quantization errors involved in gamma correction. So for a Raw file the workflow is the assignation of the camera profile and conversion from that to linear ProPhoto RGB. However, the display data from the Develop module (the data sent to your monitor) undergoes a further conversion that involves the application of the sRGB tone curve, which is sort of gamma 2.2 but not exactly. This is because linear image data looks terrible - very dark and flat. Thus, the display is in a hybrid space called Melissa RGB, ProPhoto primaries and sRGB tonal response curve. At the time of export or printing a conversion is done from linear ProPhoto RGB to the output space designated by the user, which can be any RGB space - ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB, sRGB or any other one, provided you have an ICC profile for it in your OS's Color folder..
Previews used by the Library module are jpgs in the Adobe RGB space.

Does Lightroom's brush tool support Wacom Pen Pressure?

Does Lightroom brush tool support true "pen pressure" from the Wacom Intuos tablets? According to Weston Maggio and Joe Sliger of Wacom (in numerous Webinars), "Pen pressure has been supported since Lightroom version 2." I have used Lightroom's brush tool extensively and find no difference between the Pen and the Mouse. The FLOW slider seems to be the only thing that adjusts how much effect applied. If you continue to 'paint' your brush adjustments over an area with a flow of 20% it will gradually build up with either pen or mouse but the amount of pressure on the pen appears to make no difference. If there is "Pen Pressure" available how do I enable it? Thanks

No, it is not. Wish it was for adjusting the "flow" in the adjustment brush, but that's really what Photoshop is for (meaning local adjustments). I perform all global adjustments in Lightroom and open the image as a smart object in Photoshop. Much better control, Lightroom is too limited as to local adjustments to be truly useful. Other than "flow," I see no reason for pen pressure so it's ok.

Does Lightroom 3 support Nikon D800 Camera RAW

Does Lightroom 3 support Nikon D800 Camera RAW

No, you can either upgrade to LR4 or use Adobe's free DNG Converter to work with your images in LR3 as DNGs.

Does Web Module size and convert RAW images to jpeg?

I have never used the Web module before. It looks pretty straightforward but I have one question:
What about images? Does Lightroom take the original RAW images from the library that I've chosen to go into the web site and 'pare the down' or re-size them to be appropriate size for the web site and I assume it would also convert them to jpegs in sizes needed for preview and for thumbnails?
I assume that when you start the 'machinery' for Lightroom to build the web site that it will put all of the images needed as copies from the originals into a proper folder that can be then uploaded to the web?
Thanks,
Ken
PS: if I choose a flash template, which are pretty nice, does it also include the flash module so that people can run the flash presentation on their computers?

It will convert all images to jpegs, resize ... however you set it up ... and yes, it is so straightforward as it seems to be .
It makes no sense to upload RAW files to the web for public use in the first place. Second, LR does not touch/change the RAW files. Therefore, how would it be able to integrate your dev settings when using RAW on export?
You can add the ftp target in LR and it will upload directly to your web server.
If you choose Flash-based, people need to have the Adobe Flash player installed on their computer. The Flash player itself is not part of the LR setup. Most of people already have it installed and who doesnt will be asked to install it.

Why does Lightroom not see my teathered camera in Windows 8?

When I teather my Nikon D300 in Lightroom 4, It seem as the Windows 8 operating systems takes over the function and Lightroom does not automatically open captured image. Instead, Windows' picture window appears. I have not been able to figure out how to override the windows function so that Lightroom opens the captured image. Need Help!!!

Where is that in the menu...couldn't locate it?

Does Lightroom only work when online?

Does Lightroom only work when I am online? Do I have to be online to process or work on files? If I cannot be online, eg, when in a remote area with no service, how do I process my photo's?

You can easily test this by cutting off all network access to your computer (turn off wi-fi or disconnect the network cable). You'll find that you can still get stuff done if there is no Internet. Especially if you are using the non-subscription version of Lightroom, which doesn't need to check in at all after it's first licensed.
If you do use Lightroom through a subscription to Creative Cloud, the annual plan has an offline mode limit of 99 days (over 3 months); the limit is 30 days offline for the monthly plan. And if you stop your subscription, you still have access to your images and some Lightroom features.

Does Lightroom save settings into a xmp file?

With Camera Raw, a xmp file is saved in the same folder with the same name of the image once we making any changes or settings to a image.
Does Lightroom save settings into a xmp file? If it does, why can't I find the xmp file in the image folder?

raw (cr2, etc.) - keywords, captions, and develop settings are written to a sidecar
dng, jpeg, tiff - keywords, captions, and develop settings are written to the file
All of these things are written to the LR catalog automatically. "Save metadata to file" saves them to the files themselves, in the above fashion. Develop settings are only written to files if you have that option checked. Automatic writing to files can also be activated.

Does Lightroom create an extra JPG file?

I'm new to Lightroom. When I import images from my camera and exit Lightroom, I notice that every JPG has been exactly duplicated with the addition of a _2 as a suffix. The DNG files are not duplicated. I'm quite certain my camera is not doing this, as it hasn't done this before. This creates an extra cleanup task as I must delete all these extras. What gives?

Since I'm new to LR, I did an Import. One other person mentioned that maybe I imported into the same folder, thus creating dups. I will watch carefully next time. I'm willing to give LR a chance as I know many people swear by it. I guess if someone has tens of thousands if images, fast keyword searches can be helpful, but I "catalog" my images by discrete folders, so I know where everything is. That might not be the case when I get many more images.

What is your workflow for importing images? Do you use something other than LR to copy images from a memery card to the HD, and then import into LR? What option (at the top of the import window are you using for import (Add, Copy, Move, etc.)?

Does Lightroom support camera tethering?

I looked through the forum and could not find this.
Does Lightroom allow digital camera capture by tethering the camera to a computer like Camera Control Pro for Nikon's and Kodaks Camera Manager?
If it does, this most likely will be our new and great workflow. Currently when using both Nikons and Kodaks we have to use four (or more) separate software programs to capture the image, adjust the image (if necessary) crop & retouch the image, and upload it to our laboratory.
Looking for the vida loca.

If it matters, we too would like to see tethering improved, especially for Nikons.
Nikon has stopped supporting their Capture (V 4.x) software. Capture wasn't the greatest package but it served a purpose as the front line, 'real time' camera to screen program. Capture does not support the newest NEFs found in the D80, (and others?)! The replacement, Capture NX, does not support tethered shooting or browsing for that matter. NX has some interesting ideas but no tethering, no browser, it is useless to us? Nikon's new Camera Control Pro downloads the pics from the camera to the computer but leaves them there... no further processing.
We are forced to find another solution. There are not too many to choose from besides LR. Capture Pro is pretty dear, Bibble's capture, while slick, directly from camera to browser, it is not too stable or reliable! Sorry guys but we can not be rebooting / making excuses while the customer is waiting. I haven't found anything else for a Nikon.
Our business really needs good tethering as we usually shoot with the customer in the studio expecting to take home some prints. Besides 'real time' viewing, which is a real plus with the customers, tethering also eliminates the steps, and time needed to stop shooting and download images to the computer. It also makes for a real smooth two person operation.
So, I (we), hope the LR crew is working on a direct import for all raw formats. The LR tethering could use a speed boost. Just eliminating the third party capture software and extra file move would be a big help.
