Exported Lightroom 3 files

I exported LR3 edited files as web files with a watermark on them. However, I can't seem to find the edited un-watermarked images in the Library, ony the original unedited RAW files and the watermarked web files. I need the edited files prior to my exporting them as watermarked web files.
Any help would be appreciated!

I'm sure the issue is unsolvable at this point. I obviously can't recover the edited files I had prior to the web export. It's RAW or web, and I'll just have to re-edit the RAW files.
With all due respect, this is not how Lightroom works. The edited RAWs don't simply disappear from the LR catalog. If they are not there, then something happened initiated by the user to cause them to disappear. Or they are there and you are having trouble finding them.
What happens if you go into Lightroom, click on All Photographs in the Catalog panel on the left, and then search for one of the files of interest by file name? Can you find this file?
With all due respect, you're just restating what I've explained from the beginning - the edited images have indeed disappeared, or I can't locate them. I've said that; it's not a new insight. I've also said what happens when I click on All Photographs. They are the original, RAW, unedited files.
No need for further replies, I'll continue my research elsewhere.

  • Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable.

    Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!

    I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
    Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected.  I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
    Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
    If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset.

  • Major problem: I can not export NEF files from Lightroom

    This is just plain weird: I can't export NEF files from Lightroom 2. I can export any other file format, but not NEF. With Lightroom 1 this was no problem.
    It makes no difference whether I choose the export command with my mouse, via the menu or with a key stroke - nothing happens.
    Lightroom version 2.0
    Camera Raw version 4.5.0.175
    Camera Nikon D3
    Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1
    MacOsX version 10.5.4
    I've called Adobe, and they simply don't know. I have reinstalled Lightroom 2 with no succes. Restarting, repairing permissions, nothing helps.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    Marsel, your language is confusing, First, you cannot 'export' NEFs to PS. You can send a copy there from within LR as a tif or psd.
    Exporting per se takes place through the Library module under the Export function. When Nef's are exported by choosing 'original' in the export dialogue, the file is the 'original' NEF accompanied by an XMP. That Nef, if opened directly in PS from your file system should appear in the Camera Raw window, where you can make whatever new edits on it you want or change the original adjustments you made in LR. Then, once you open that file in PS from the Camera Raw window, any further work you do will be pixel editing. That work can then be saved in a number of formats, but not as a NEF.
    Transferring files to PS from LR for editing is another matter. That sends a copy of the original NEF, including LR adjustments to PS as either a Tiff or a PSD (your choice via the dropdown). After you have edited that Tiff or PSD in PS and hit save, it will send a copy back to LR as a Tiff or PSD, which will appear next to the original nef.
    These procedures work perfectly on both my windows 32 and 64 bit machines with LR2 and 2.1. with all my NEFs from several camera models.
    When you say 'export' do you really mean sending a copy to PS or do you mean 'Export' as LR defines that term?

  • Exporting RAW files to PS5 from Lightroom

    when exporting RAW files from lightroom 3, version 3.6, to photoshop 5, (version 12.04, ACR 6.6), raw files go directly to editor, not camera raw editor. This began only after I went from trial version to full version, before it went to RAW editor.  If loading directly into PS RAW files do go to RAW editor as they should, but not from LIghtroom.
    Please advise

    The way it is working now is the way it is supposed to.  I don't know why ACR was opening before.  You do your adjustments in Lightroom, and when you send the image to Photoshop ACR is used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments.  If you want to be able to go back to ACR then you need to open the image as a smart object.

  • Exporting a file, can I set a custom filename suffix, similar to lightroom?

    Hello,
    In Lightroom you can specify a custom filename suffix string, so when I export a file the filename has my suffix. Example: DSC_1234_lr.jpg
    "lr" being my custom suffix.
    Is there a similar feature in Photoshop?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    This script gives you that option...

  • Lightroom crashes when trying to export any files

    When I try to export retouched files to hard drive files my Mac crashes and has to be force quitted. I thought this maybe a L'room 4 problem so I bought L'room 5 and it's still happening. What can I do?

    Thank you very much for your reply.
    You say I may not have enough resources and I wondered if I should tell you what I've got.
    I'm on an Early 1998 Mac Pro with 2x2.8 GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processors with 2gb of ram.
    I'm running it on OSX 10.8.4.
    Would more memory help as I can't afford a new Mac.

    I am having issues suddenly exporting files. It reads error exporting 25 files, As I attempt to choose another destination folder the folders show a black square where the folder sign previously was. I am in my busy season and this has created a huge delay!!! HELP!!!!

    oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.

  • Exporting Orginal files in Albums in Aperture with Applescript

    Hello
    I am moving my library (25000+ pics) to Lightroom 4 from Aperture and I found this script that does a great job in exporting edited files to a folders on a disk.
    The last script on this conversation:

    Would it be possible to edit the script to do the same thing but export the orginal master files?

  • Export constrain file size

    The lab my client uses doesn't like to handle jpegs larger than about 2MB. OK, that's their rule and I have to make it work.
    In PhotoShop, when I converted to jpeg I could see how large a file it was going to produce. In LightRoom I don't know how to do that. I can choose a quality, which isn't measured in anything. And I can enter a dpi, which shouldn't make any difference if the pixel count is unchanged. There's no way to sort by size. So I guess and export them all, then check the sizes and go back again and re-export the files that are too large. Very Clumsy.
    Can anyone advise me how to get these Canon 5D files to convert to jpegs at around 2MB?
    -wick

    Through trial and error (no help from LightRoom), I decided to contrain the file size to within a 2K by 2K pixel rectangle. This gives me roughly the right file size. thanks to all for your suggestions. In the end, of course, I either have to downsize the image or raise the compression to around 60 (as Ian suggested). In the end, assuming a print size no larger than 8 x 10, do you think the better solution is to downsize or upcompress?
    -wick
    PS: Has anyone else come across the bug mentioned in my second post, where exporting the same file over and over leads to the wrong file getting exported? Maybe LightRoom just got bored?

  • LR5: Export video files doesn't write meta data

    When I export video files (e.g. MP4) from LR5, no meta data is written to the files when I expect at least the year and title to be written. 
    Files like mp4, m4v and mov all have well documented meta data fields.  Why doesn't LR support this?

    LR's support for video is incomplete.  Please see and vote on this topic in the official feedback forum:

  • Can't Export Lightroom Gallery

    I have a slideshowpro plug-in. Normally, I use this plug-in to create a template and I manually upload the exported gallery to my website. I have never had this problem before, but I can't "save" the gallery. The save button isn't enabled and won't allow me to save anything. I can export individual files with no problem, but the export functionality doesn't work when I try to export a slideshowpro gallery. I've tried exporting a lightroom gallery and am having the same problem. Any ideas what is happening?

    No, this is a new folder I've created and tried to save to. I've also tried saving to preexisting folders on both local and external drives. The save isn't enabled no matter where I try to save.

  • Keep video metadata after exporting MOV files

    Hello !
    I use LR5 to manage RAW/JPG/MOV files from events where I have taken pictures from. Most of the MOV files do either come from my Canon Camera or from my iPhone.
    I regular export the files in a reduced file back to my iPad or iPhone for "public" viewing. Unfortunately LR5 is loosing all metadata from my videos, especially creating date/time and GPS tags.
    Is there any way to include metadata in exported (and compressed) video files ? It works in photo's very well.
    If not, do you know any other program which can compress original video files from my iPhone and keep the metadata ?
    Thanks

    Cragen,
    A very Good Day!
    Lightroom does not read metadata from the video files till the version 5.3.
    However, the functionality may came as a feature in the coming version of  Lightroom!
    If the same is not visible in Lightroom make sure the files are copied to the system and then check the same in Lightroom
    Source: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/metadata-doesnt-import-video-files.html
    Let me know how it works.
    Cheers!

  • Exporting Adjusted Files

    I'm running LR in Vista with 3Gb RAM, but I think I have a User Error: when I Export files (as I have done often in the past), I find that it is not exporting any adjustments (mostly cropping & straightening) that I've made on the files.
    What setting did I change to cause this maddening problem? Because I've found nothing quite this specific on the Kbase or here, I don't know whether it's something I've done or whether it's a feature I don't know about. Thanks in advance.

    >I am exporting my adjusted originals
    Aha. Lee is probably right. You are exporting originals, which means you get the RAW files and an xmp file. The RAW file is simply an identical copy of the original, while the xmp file contains instructions on the changes you made in Lightroom. In the case of dng originals, the xmp is saved inside the file. ONLY Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 (using ACR) will read the changes. In every other program (for example windows viewer), you will simply see the original RAW file and it will ignore the xmp sidecar. This is a consequence of the way RAW files work. If you want to export a file with changes baked in, export to tiff, psd, or jpeg.

  • NWDS 7.0 Error during Quick PAR Upload and while trying Exporting PAR-File

    Hello,
    I am trying to use the functions "Export as PAR-File" and "Quick PAR Upload" in NWDS 7.0.
    Unfortunately I got an error every time when I am trying to use this functions. I am using the package explorer in the Java perspectiv in NWDS for starting this functions. The error tells me the following:
    "Unable to connect to the Portal"
    "Operation failed: Please make sure the server "XY" is running or check the log (sap-plugin.log) for more detail"
    Thats all.
    When I am looking in the log-file I can read the following messages:
    "ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: GET_VIEW:ALL]"
    "ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: IS_VIEW_EXISTS:ALL]"

    I have tried this with several users and their passwords. All of the users have admin-rights at least in the portal. One of them even in the SDM.
    I can sucessfully deploy webdynpros from NWDS into the same Portal with this users.
    We are using SAP Logon Tickets and SSO is configured working fine between Portal and backend.
    We have imported Key Store File in NWDS unter Window --> Preferences --> Java Development Infrastructure.
    And we are not using the NWDI.
    Who knows why I cannot even export par-files? Are their any configurations missing?
    Best regards,
    Iris

    It is mentioning about authentication.
    check whether you have access to deploy directly or not ? maybe direct deployment into portal disabled .
    I think you have to follow the procedure of checkout and activate procedure.
    Can you clarify few things
    1) Are you using NWDI Based Transports in your landscape?
    Login Method=default UserID=user_Admin IP Address=http://192.168.xxx Reason=Cannot authenticate the user
    http://192.168.xxx  is it your development portal?
    Did you clarify with admin people whether direct deployment disabled?

  • Error in exporting photoshop file

    We have several copies of After Effects being used in the office.  Both myself and another user have encountered a problem saving as photoshop layers.  It gets 87% or so into it and then gives the error; "error in exporting photoshop file" in the info window.  Any thoughts?

    I don't think expressions should have any influence on teh matter. They are just another way of formulating an animation stream value just like keyframes. Icould think of a few things:
    - The new pixel aspect ratio handling in CS4. Due to the conversion, something may happen to the source footages.
    - Layer styles. this may cause a "cyclic use" of the Photoshop engine. Some of that stuff has changed quite a bit for CS4 to accomodate Ps Live 3D and teh new adjustment layer model.
    - Hardware accelerated effects. CS4 passes through OpenGL acceleration through all comps. Using an effect that uses it and happens to think it doesn#t need to fall back into software only mode, may cause a hiccup.
    - MediaCore. Similar to the previous, it uses hardware acceleration and may show weird behaviors, varying solely based on differences in graphics cards.
    In particular for the last two points I would think it is what makes the difference between your systems. One of them has not enough juice on OpenGL, so it's "safe". I'd definitely investigate along those lines.
