Exporting a .jpg in Slideshow with Identity Plates

I'm pretty new to Lightroom. I have, i believe, a simple question.
I created a simple Identity plate and everytime i try 'Export as..' jpg, it doesn't render the Identity plate (only the picture)
This is in the Slideshow module. It doesn't have the Identity plate in the Library and Develop modules so thats why i 'Export as' from
the Slideshow. How are you guys rendering out the file with the identity plate and also, what size do you usually make your graphics for
the identity plate? Thanks.

Thanks for responding Jon.
I'm not trying to make a slideshow. I"m just trying to export the 1 pic (.jpg)
I'm probably misunderstanding something. I'm using the slideshow mod cause it has the 'Identity plate'
feature. I just want to add an identity plate to 1 pic and export out a .jpg

Changing font size in Slideshow module identity plate

Do the following steps to reproduce the bug in LR 3.3:
Select an image then go the the Slideshow module
In the "Titles" section make Intro screen and Identity Plate visible
Modify the plate's text to something different than the default
Change the font size to 72pt
Now, preview.
The program always defaults to 36pt.
Edit: Scaling is working, though; but at the same scale changing the font size has no effect at all.

Sala, hello. How are you?
Unfortunately there is no way to change the font size for that ActiveX control. Sorry for being the harbinger of this news.

Help, I am having problems with Identity plates and my logo

I have always used the identity plates with my logo watermark to post to facebook and other locations. When I click on which logo under my identity plates I need, I have always been able to move it around the photo, all of a suddent, I am not able to do this. I can't figure out what I did. My logos and identity plates have not changed. Help!

Never mind, got it figured out!!

Feature request : time to show identity plates in a slideshow when 'Fit to music' is selected.

When using the 'Fit to music' option in a slideshow, and with one, or both options to show identiy plates selected, then the ability to choose an independent length of time to show the identity plates would be useful. Possibly even a different length of time for the intro and ending identity plates.
At the moment if you choose 'Fit to music' the time each slide is shown is also used for the identity plates. When you only have a few images, compared to the length of the music, this means that the identity plates are shown for too long on the screen.

For that ind of precision and flexiblity make your slideshow in an app like iMovie, PhotoToMovie or Final Cut Express.

BUG: Indesign CC 2014 - significant image artifacts with 'export as JPG'

Issue
Spreads exported from InDesign as maximum quality JPGs have heavy artifacts not present in PDF's with equivalent image compression settings.
Steps
Export spread to JPG (max, baseline, 300ppi)
Export spread to PDF (image compression set to JPG, maximum)
Compare both files in Photoshop at 100%
Results
Maximum quality JPGs are significantly artifacted.
Expected Results
Maximum quality JPGs should be identical to PDF images with equivalent image compression settings (and should be virtually indistinguishable from original files sized equivalently in Photoshop (and saved via Photoshop's 'Save for Web').
Please Note
I'm very familiar with the limitations of JPG's in pre-press work. Please trust that I have legitimate reasons for needing InDesign to export spreads as JPGs with the same image quality as is possible when exporting as a PDF (or using Photoshop's 'Save For Web' function with the source file sized identically as the spread in question.)
Samples
exhibit A: spread exported as PDF (compression set to JPG, maximum quality)
exhibit B: spread exported as JPG (maximum quality)

Rob,
Thank you for running your test!
Since posting (and just before reading your reply), I discovered an additional constraint on replicating the issue:
–it only appears when the linked image has been upscaled* (in my example, 107.1%)
*keep in mind, the PDF was upscaled to the same degree, ruling out it being solely an upscaling issue
–testing at 'even-magnification' scales (i.e. 150%) simply resulted in increased pixelation compared to the same PDF export (see samples below)
–testing at 'odd-magnification' scales (i.e. 101%) generated random artifacts (like those visible in the samples of my initial post)
–as such, this is likely more of a resampling/aliasing issue than jpg-artifacting.
That is, it would seem that upscaled images seem to enjoy a higher-quality resampling method when exported as PDFs.
I'd be curious to see how your test fared with upscaled images.
samples
image scaled at 150%, exported as PDF (compression set to JPG, maximum quality)
image scaled at 150%, exported as JPG (maximum quality, anti-alias**)
**tested with & without anti-aliasing, results were identical

How do I export jpgs as tifs with the original resolution ?

Hi,
I am very new to Lightroom 5 (I only installed it today (on Windows 8.1) :-)) but I have read Victoria Bampton's Quick Start Guide and have read a number of forum posts over the last few weeks to get an idea about how the program generally works.
I am embarking on a project to scan and archive my family's photos and videos, and I will be using Lightroom to manage the collection. To start the project, I have just imported over 10,000 digital photos taken by a variety of cameras (36 of them, according to Lightroom !) over the last 12 years or so into a new Lightroom catalogue.   These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I started by doing an Export of a small number of photos to save the .jpg files as .tif files, but when reviewing the results, I noticed that the image's resolution was changed during the export. For example, one original jpg is only 96ppi but the exported tif is 240ppi. Another jpg is 180ppi and the tif is 240ppi. At least, that's what the metadata seems to be telling me (via the Details tab of the Properties dialog in Windows), so I assume it's true...
I understand that the 240ppi that I am seeing in the .tif file metadata was specified in the Image Sizing section of the Export dialog, so that's not the issue.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.   It would be great if the resolution setting in the Export dialog was controlled by the Resize to Fit checkbox, like the other settings in the section, but it doesn't appear to be (it's enabled even if the Resize to Fit checkbox is unticked).
I then thought about using the Library Filters to filter by the Horizontal Resolution metadata, so that I could select all the photos with the same resolution and export just those with the Resolution setting in the Export dialog set to the right number, and then repeat that process for each different group of original photos with a different resolution. Unfortunately, I have not been able to work out how to filter by the horizontal resolution metadata field - it doesn't seem to be available in the dropdown list of fields shown when I click on the up-down arrow next to the "Date" or "Camera" (etc.) columns in the Library Filter pane.
Finally, here's my question (or three):
Is there a way to export .jpgs to .tif files while keeping the original resolution ?
Alternatively, is there a way to select groups of photos by their horizontal or vertical resolution (so just those photos could be exported in a group with the right resolution specified) ?
Or is there any other way to do what I want (convert jpg to tif with the same resolution and keeping all the metadata) ?
Thanks for reading all the way through to the end.
John.

These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I'm not sure why you say this. In terms of long-term archival format, I think the two are equal, I am not aware of other reasons to do this, and thus in my opinion, the task of globally turning all your JPGs into TIFFs seems unnecessary. You don't gain anything by doing this. But you sure will spend a lot of time and take up a lot of disk space doing this.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.
Again, I think you have embarked upon an unnecessary task. The ppi in the file is essentially meaningless. A photo that has (for example) 3000x2000 pixels saved at 240 ppi is the exact same photo as the same photo 3000x2000 saved at 180ppi, not a single pixel has changed. You are placing a meaning and importance to this ppi number that just doesn't exist.
To answer your questions at the bottom, I would advise you to not do the things you are talking about, it seems to me that you have greatly misunderstood things.

Export slideshow with music

How do I export a slideshow with a theme and music to be watched by a friend on his/her mac or pc?
I just created a nice slideshow with around 10 pictures with a theme and a song from my itunes-library.
The exported file got the *.M4V fileformat and I wonder if the file will be viewable on my friends mashine?
If not, how do i configure the export to make it usefull for others?

The output from iPhoto is fixed. If your friend cannot play that then there are various oconverters that will change the file, depending on his requirement.

Lightroom 3 exporting issue: exported JPGs come out with much more noise than original edited files

Hi all,
My first post here so nice to meet everyone. I've been having some issues with exporting in Lightroom recently. It appeared to happen quite out of the blue. Sometimes when I export my edited .cr2 files as jpgs (in srgb), at a good quality (no less than 85), some of resulting jpgs seem to have exposure higher and/or a horribly large increase in the amount of visable noise. It seems many of the photos which this occurs in have pretty high settings for fill light, but even still, the noise is not visable in lightroom while editing the metadata linked .cr2.
I thought it might be the problem that I'm viewing the final exported jpgs in preview, but I also tried adding them back into the catalog and they look just as off. I just upgraded to 3.3, but it seems to be having the same issue. If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

No sharpening at all during my export, Ian. Sometimes I sharpen for screen at a standard strength, but I turned it off when I started seeing the extra artifacts but the results of the exports remains basically the same with or without sharpening.
However when I import it seems my photos already have some sharpening on them in the develop module. The settings there are sharpening = 25, radius = 1, Detail = 25, masking = 0. I honestly rarely mess with the sharpening, so I guess I skipped over those settings during the countless hours I have worked with LR! But I assume those are normal post import numbers, correct? I never apply development settings during import, that's why I say that. Thanks for keeping up the conversation and brainstorming Ian! Anyone else also free to chime in.

Problems exporting slideshow with music from iPhoto 5 to iDVD

I made a slideshow on iPhoto, and selected one Playlist with 4 tracks as backgroundmusic. When I ¨play¨the slideshow in ¨iPhoto¨ I can listen the music ( all 4 tracks), but when I ¨export¨ the slideshow or ¨send to iDVD¨, the final Quicktime movie contains all the fotos but only the first track of the Playlist.
I use Quicktime 7.1.3, iPhoto 5.0.4 and iTunes 7.0.2
Can somebody help me to find a solution...:)...? thanks...

this was a known problem with iPhoto 5. do you have the latest update to iPhoto 5?
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
With iPhoto 5 this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
From Lori...
Burn the playlist in iTunes.
Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
Put the new combined track into the playlist.
In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

Problem Exporting slideshow with soundtrack in LR3.

I am trying to export a slideshow for a homework assignment. When exporting video with "pictures only" it exports just fine. When I add a soundtrack I receive:
“Log (6)
Assertion Failed: Seld->aenc
AVC video encorder…
infor: version 8.0.0.47059
Info: Platform: Windows 64bit
mc_enc_avc.001)
extendedoption: Media_time_offest : 0.000000-> 1000.000000”
I have exported a slideshow with music before and never had problems with it. What can I do to fix the problem?
I use a pc windows 7

After much research, I discovered that iTunes can create a compatible .m4a file
in iTunes, highlight the Voice Memo you want to convert, then select Advanced...Create AAC Version.
This will convert the file and create a .m4a file of the same name.
Unfortunately, it is not in the same directory, and iTunes gives no feedback as to where it is.
Nor does it list it in the VoiceMemo playlist in iTunes.
I found it in iTunes\Music\Music\My iPod\Voice Memos\
My sincere thanks to Dan Tull of Adobe for giving me the clues I needed to sort this out.
He has also flagged a bug report so hopefully future versions of LR will handle this situation more gracefully.

I am using Lightroom on my MAC where I import the finalized JPEG-pictures into iPhoto to create a slideshow (for instance in combination with films). When exporting the slideshow with a 1080p resolution to iTunes I experience difficulties (missing slides and black transitions). When using JPEG-pictures directly from the camera there are no problems, so the manipulation in Lightroom seem to cause corrupt files. Does anyone recognize tje problem and could it have anything to do with the introduction of the Yosemite software? Is Lightroom already Yosemite-proof?

In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report the bug.

Exporting Slideshows with Aperture

I am a professional wedding photographer just starting to use Aperture.
I currently deliver DVD slideshows to my clients instead of paper proofs. I use an action and an apple script in Photoshop to batch all the files from a wedding to have a black border around them and display the file name in the black border below the file. I must have the file name because, that is how my clients place there order. I then use DVD Studio Pro to group my slides into groups of 99 and create slideshows with DVD Studio Pro.
Is there a way to use Aperture to automate this process? I would like to select the images that I want, have Aperture size them for NTSC, display the file name so that it is readable and not cropped out of a standard TV screen, and then create slideshows in iDVD or DVD Studio Pro for me. I would also like to put a signature on the bottom right corner of each photograph.
I know this is asking a lot, but I REALLY need something like this to speed up my process and bring a new look to my work. Any suggestions?
Kevin Hawkins

kevin:
aperture has automator actions for exporting images from albums (at any one of the export preset sizes). you could, with a little scripting expertise, convert the photoshop applescript that you have now into an autmator action. (i have several automator actions that i've built that feed images into photoshop.) then it would be a matter of building an automator workflow that sets everything up in the right sequence and pressing run.
if you need help getting this done, visit my web site and on the "about me" page, you'll find some contact info (including email address).

Identity Plates Should Export as Graphical Watermarks

Its surprising adobe completely missed the boat on graphical watermarking in LR and CS3. Actions and Droplets are clumsy at best. Many professional photographers watermark their images before posting online or hard proofing. I guess I will turn to the mogrify plugin and give it a try.
What I want to do is simple - take my webaddress and merge it with a circle c at 20% opacity and have it land centered on the bottom of Horizontal and Vertical images in the same place. Droplets bounce it around as if pasted by a blind man. It fails to recognize repositioning the paste in the action list and just drops it wherever when running the droplet. I didn't even mention that I had to create separate droplets for Vertical and Horizontal images and separate them in explorer by "arrange by dimension"
CS3 YOUR FIRED - I cant trust you to watermark images!!!
And Light Room buddy - identity plates was a good idea - but your still on the dock and the boat's in the harbor.

We've only been asking for this since the Beta ! days one and a half years ago. Currently your best bet LR Mogrify from

There may be some improvements with LR 2 bin the regard, but too soon to know.

Export Slideshow with previews only

Hi,
I use a managed library on my iMac. I'd like to take a slideshow with me on my MacBookPro. Is there a way to export a slideshow as a new library with just the previews in it? I don't need these huge RAWs (export via my WLAN takes hours) on my laptop just for presenting a slideshow.
Thanks for a tip!

Thanks for the tipps.
I personally am no fan of QT presentations, because I'd like to pause every now and then during my slideshows, and I like to zoom in any picture when necessary.
The iPhoto tip sounds good - but I am not sure I did get it right. I make an album in Aperture, OK. But then? I can access these pics in iPhoto, but there I can only run a slideshow with selected Pics and have not the nice settings I have for slideshows in Aperture. And, how do I get the pics from iPhoto to my MacBookPro from there? Here I have to export again as QT, right?
What I am trying to achieve is to have my slideshow with just the necessary picture size on my MBP. What I did yesterday, was export all pics from Aperture on my iMac by dragging them on the desktop of my MBP, then importing them in Aperture there and creating a new slideshow there. But, unfortunately, all my sorting was lost, the pics were imported by the order of their names, of course. So this is no nice workaround either.
Does anyone of you have anothe idea for me?
Thanks a lot,
Jens

Moving Identity Plate with Arrow Keys

I have always been able to move my identity plate around using the arrow keys. For some reason, it doesn't work any more. I am using Lightroom 2.3. I know that this is a small problem, but I sure would like to know how to remedy this. Thanks!

Hi Ken,
This is how I have done it.
1. Create identity plate in Illustrator and save as an Illustrator file = .ai
2. Go to Overlays in Lightroom and check Identity Plate
3. Within the Identity Plate checkered box, you will see a pull-down menu on the bottom right
4. Select Edit
5. Select the radio button: "Use a graphical Identity Plate"
6. Locate the ai file and select Choose (You might not see anything in the window, but don't worry about that
7. Select Custom
8. Choose Save As and give it a name
9. Select OK
Now, when you go into that checkered box within the Identity Plate window, you will now see your new Identity Plate (ai graphic) listed. Select it, and it will be displayed on your photograph. Sometimes, I have to select it twice (not sure why) for the resolution to be high quality. Good luck and let me know how it works out.
