Exporting photos with editing changes

Hi, I am new to LightRoom. This question might be stupid, but I am having trouble exporting my photos and maintaining the editing changes that I have made. Here are the specifics: I made changes to many raw photos using LR on my desktop computer (Microsoft XP operating system). I then exported those photos, as raw photos and jpegs, to organize them within my hardrive and further edit at a later date. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I then copied those exported photos onto my external hard drive and copied them onto my MB. I then imported the file into LR and the original photos are there without any of the editing I did such as changing WB, sharpening, etc. I am wondering what I did wrong? Did I miss a step, fail to check or uncheck some box, or is this a issue with going between Mac and Windows? Any suggestions?
Thank you,
carrie

One follow-up question...again, probably a naive one. Would I be able to tell the editing changes by looking at either the metadata or the developing tools of the jpg files that I edited in raw? Changes such as wb, sharpening, color boosting, etc. I am browsing through my jpgs and they don't appear to contain those editing changes that I speak of. Otherwise, Lee's answer makes sense to me. However, I am not sure if what my eye is perceiving is due to monitor differences. That is why I would like to see exactly if those changes registered.
Thanks,
carrie

How to export photos with editing from preview mode to hard drive and external hard drive?

I have applied changes to the photos in the preview mode. Unfortunately, I can't export them from preview mode to hard drive and external drives. Whenever the external drive is plugged, the changes I made are not applied to the photos on the both hard drives.

Sorry what do you mean Preview Mode? There is no Preview mode or module in LR. There is a Library and Develop module in LR. The Library module does have the ability to do some adjustments and the Develop module has all the image adjustments.
In any event to export an image you can either right click on it and select Export or when in the Library module you click the button that says Export.

Export photos with original metadata

I have original photos that states the time taken and all other datas of my camera but once I edited and export from aperture, the new photos do not have the original metadata in it anymore. Is it possible to export photos with the original/master metadata?

How are you viewing the "metadata time"?
The file creation date is not the same as the metadata field "Date".
To view the metadata of an image-format file created by exporting an Image from Aperture, open it in Preview (the app that comes with OS X), run "Tools➞Show Inspector", and click the "Exif" tab.

Exporting Photos with Summary Information

I want to export photos with summary information such as ISO, F setting, shutter speed, ect. For some reason this information is not exporting now. I recently replaced my hard drive and had to redownload LR3 software. Does anyone know what setting I need to adjust so this infor exports with the photo?
Thanks, Paul

Thanks Dorin, I was reducing the size of the files in LR3 which was removing
the information. I'm using Microsift Office Picture Manager to reduce the size of the picture before posting on Treknature. Picture Manager keeps the information, even if I reduce the size of the pic.
Thanks for the help.

Iphoto - when exporting photos with their titles,iPhoto changes the manual sequence that I have given and imposes an alphabetical sequence

Mac mini
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 768 MB
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
When exporting a group photos with their individual titles, iPhoto changes the manual sequence that I have given and imposes its own sequence (which seems to be alphabetical). The export dialogue box allows me to use my titles or to impose a numerical sequence.
How can I keep my titles and the sequencing that I had carefully worked out?

What you are missing is that files have no order - you view them using a program and that program creates the order
When viewing in an iPhoto album you can sort manually and iPhoto will display the photos as you sorted them - but when you move to a different program (the finder for example) you have a totally different set of sorts available - for example in the finder the same set of files can be viewed in alpha order, in size order, in date modified order, etc - none of those are inherent in the file but are sorts set under the view menu
So to meet your requirements you must export with file attributes that allow the finder view options to present your desired view - which is what volunteers here have tried to help with - even though it really does not involve IPhoto in any way

HT1257 Exporting photos with titles

Exporting photos for use on Windows through the Finder (not through Share) does not allow the titles I have attachged to the photos to be expored along with them. Does anyone know a way that will allow this?

Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. In the export window select Use Title in the File Name drop down menu. That will replace the original file names with the titles you assigned in iPhoto.

Exporting photos with text

Is there any way that you can export photos in lightroom 4 with text on them? (i want the same text on all of the photos)

If you have a careful hand you can add text using the adjustment brush. Select the appropriate size you want your lines and move the exposure slider to the left for black text, right for white text. Sync to all the images. Also can be used for adding arrows, etc. Not an elegant solution but mostly workable.

Updating Color Project with Edit Changes in FCP

Hi,
My apologies if this topic as been discussed already and thanks for any input.
So I finished a project in Color recently and the director then changed the edit in FCP. Some of the clips were either pulled or trimmed.
Can I avoid starting from scratch since the edit change a tiny bit?
Is their any way Color will can reimport the new (updated) sequence without losing all the grading I've already done
Thanks!

If the clip order and layer hierarchy are identical, then New Project, Import Color Corrections.
If the clip order changes, there may be a slight chance that Reconform will work, but up until version 1.04, this will only be successful with single-layer only sequences. I am told that version 1.5 has a better chance of success.
If there are only slight changes, then do a "difference" sequence, save the grades for those shots from your original COLOR project and then re-grade the changed shots, to reconform them into the (from COLOR) sequence.

I bought LR 5 on Oct 16, 2014. I just tried to export photos with watermark and it wont work. After reading tutorials and following directions, only a few photos out of 100 show up with watermark, but not everytime. Is this a bug and how does it get fixed

I bought LR 5 Oct 16 this year. Why doesn't my watermark work when I export photos? I followed tutorials and still it does not work. Once, a few photos out of about 100 exported with the watermark, but only once. Is this a bug? how to fix? Also, how to I get rid of unwanted presents?

Are you exporting as JPG or TIFF or PSD?
Any other format (including "Original") will not show a watermark.

IPhoto incompetant with exporting photos with titiles

Has anyone encountered problems with exporting photos from albums hoping that the chance iphoto will do it with titles will work and only some of them do and or some times it does?

i did do that and it worked fine, something messed up in my user library im sure
First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try exporting again.
If that doesn't fix the problem it could be another preference file, not iPhoto's. To check that out do the following:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
Click to view full size
5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

How to export photos with titles in chronological order. Checking box for title and keyword doesn't seem to work

I want to export a group of JPEG photos including titles in the order in which they were taken. Checking the box to include titles and key words seems not to work.

You can not
exporting creates files - files have no order - the order is set by the program you use to view them - for example in the finder you can view files by the date created, date modified, size, alpha, etc
So to control the order when viewing in the finder you must have an attribute that the finder can sort on set - the most common way to export photos in a specific order is to make an album in iphoto in the order you want and then export the album using the sequential naming option of the export command - then view them in the finder using a alpha sort - Exporting From iPhoto
However since you want to retain your existing title that will not work for you

Ios8 photos with edit and lte

Hello, sorry to ask but I have 3 questions. In order of importance.
My Phone is Iphone 5S
1. I updated my phone to iOS 8.02, which deleted all of my photos from the phone. it was not synced, it updated while disconnected. Restoring from a back up file before update didnt change anything (it had me go through initial setting after update again, and photos were missing. I updated 10/13 and back up file was from 10/12). I pulled the photos out to a separate folder, so I have recovered 2000 photos.
Problem is that these photos have lost all of the edits, which I have most of my photos cropped.
photo tab which lists all the photos ive taken since 2005 have those edits in but i can only move about 6 at a time so this is troubling.
Q: Is there a way to restore photos back in to an album with an edits?
Thank you.
2. Since iOS7 my phone would loose reception in schools and streets etc. I would understand high mountain forested area but in middle of the street in city (near bus stop etc) loosing an entire connection where my phone call would stop until I travel quite a distance is weird. LTE and 4G both loose connection in random locations and it is very slow. (It takes about an hour to load a 30 min video. through safari.) However youtube is perfectly fast and smooth. (But can't use HD cuz its not wifi.) If I access youtube through a web for HD, it is slow as mentioned above. Loading images from deviant art or tumblr(in app) takes 30-60 sec per image as well. Sometimes they fail to show up which I have to refresh the page, or they show up in low res, where I can see chunk of pixels and can't read. Thankfully sometimes when I zoom in the image gets rendered to higher res, but its so far random luck.
Q: Is LTE and 4G supposed to be so slow that loading an image online takes 30-60 sec or is my phone broken?
3. When I updated to iOS7, my song library was wiped so my songs which were listed in order is now alphabetical order which itunes have done it without permission. iOS8 have done this with a photo.
Q: Is there something that window user needs to fix in setting to prevent a data loss?
Thank you for your time.

Ian
iPhoto always works on a copy of the file. It does this as a failsafe, allowing you to use the Photos -> Revert To Original command, should you find you've gone too far in an edit.
When you edit a pic in iPhoto, or via iPhoto with another editor, iPhoto shows you the altered pic, and to all intents and purposes works with the altered pic in the future, inless you use the Revert command.
So, unless you choose otherwise if you email, share, export a pic, it will be the edited version that is used.
Hope this is clear, if not, write back and we can try clarify more.
Regards

Trying to export photos with exposure adjustments from iphoto

I made colour adjustments and exposure changes in iphoto, then exported to the library, for preparation to upload to my preferred photo hosting site, but the exposure and colour changes were not kept after exporting, is there a setting to allow this?

When you export the original you get the original - that is exactly what the camera took, the "original" - so that has no edits or other changes
If you export as a JPEG you get the current version
It may or may not be the same resolution as the original depending on what edits you have done

Transfer/copy photos with edits to another computer or harddrive

Hi,
How can I make this process work?
1. My partner and I both have lightroom : she's on a PC and me on a Mac.
2. We both take photos together at a shoot.
3. We then go back, make edits to our own photos.
4. Then we need to share them with eachother in order to make a contact sheet that contains both our edited photos.
ANy ideas?
We were trying to use an external hard drive and then importing them to the other's machine, but I cannot find a way to export the files with the edits. Should I export a catalog based on a selection of photos? Would she be able to import these into her library with deleting her own photos?
Anybody in the same situation?
Thanks,
Nicole

I want to expand a bit on this topic. I've got 3 production computers and two laptops; sometimes I need my assitant to work on some things while I work on stuff (or I'll need to work on them remotely via laptop). So, my thought is to put my catalog on my 2 TB networked server. Then have either the Mac, or 2 PC's (or download the catalog to the laptops) to be able to open it. How efficent is LR2 in working across a network AND...
What about images that are on the network server. Can LR2 work effectively with that? My production boxes are exactly that production computers... the serer is where I store my images (and backup on another system/series of removeable HD's. Which I'd love to have that linked in one master LR catalog.
I almost want to ask Matt K. or Scott K. this question... they work with tons of photos all the time.

I am having trouble exporting photos with a watermark in lightroom 5 with windows 8

I click export, then edit watermarks, make my adjustments, click create, then export...photo gets exported without the watermark....what am I doing wrong?

Just a couple of observations that may not be of any help to you. After you click on the export button, you won't see any activity on the Lightroom interface unless you are exploring several images in which case you will see a progress bar in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. I noticed on your export settings that you have checked the option to add the exported image to the catalog, so it isn't going to automatically show up in Lightroom. You might try right clicking on the folder you are working with and choose to synchronize it and see if that will bring in those newly exported images.
