Feature request - export strokes

With the new open in Illustrator feature (which is excellent) it would be much more useful to have the strokes to refine rather than outlines. This would give so much more control when refining an illustration

P_werner, I'm curious... Are you actually sensing a significant amount of time to do a Copy/Paste?
What kind of computer do you have? What size images do you work on?
Your description surprised me because it's been a long time since I've sensed any delay with this operation,even with big operations. I just copied / pasted large chunks of a 21600 x 7200 pixel image and honesty I could barely sense the time between Control C, Control V, and the layer showing up. And yes, I have the export preference checked.
I tend to use high-end computers, but my workstation is no screamer by today's standards.

Feature Request: Export catalog for 2nd editor/machine

Since there isn't a shared network environment for LR, to involve multiple editors or multiple locations for the same editor on large projects, I often need to export a subset of a catalog so someone else can work on it, or I can work on it off my laptop somewhere other than the studio, using only the proxy 1:1 previews to make my decisions from and then re-assimilate those edit changes to the master catalog of that job, usually back on my primary workstation. This process also allows me to start processing out parts of the job while other parts are being edited on other machines, or letting my primary workstation process while I use a 2nd workstation to continue editing at speed on.
I can make this happen, but it's all on me to remember which portions of the catalog have been exported, where their destination was/is, remember not to make any changes to that portion of the library while the subsection has been exported, and an over-lengthy and complicated merging of exported and internal catalogs.
It would be incredibly useful if LR could show the status (checked out for primary edit, checked out for client approval, etc.) of any exported catalog by mousing over that visibly different section and build in a preference for those varied conditions to potentially limit any changes to that subset of images while the export is still 'checked-out.' A true merge would be nice to allow possible overlaps of work on the same images, but a managed lock-out would be sufficient to start with.
As it is, the re-assimilation process for me involves removing images from the master catalog leaving the raw files in place, and re-importing the exported catalog which also necessitates the needless redundancy of bringing the 1:1 previews back in as well. At the scale I'm doing this it's overly time consuming, compared to the speed of just bringing in the library itself. The process also puts me in the place of deleting images from a catalog while they're essentially still in use, which is scary from a file management standpoint, usually with me having 4 and 5 copies of that library lingering around until all the manual merging actions are finished.

That's a feature I've asked for myself Brad, in the absense of true network use. As it's not likely to make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.

Feature Request: Exporting to Photoshop at gamma 1.0 and 32bit resolution

Hi,
In terms of maximum fidelity, it'd be nice if Lightroom had a setting to tell it to hand of copies of photos to Photoshop at gamma 1.0 or Lightroom's native profile (which is apparently also based on gamma 1.0), and 32bit resolution, so that maximum fidelity is guaranteed. I feel the current settings are restrictive, and while I can retroactively change the edited image to gamma 1.0, I'm exporting a 16bit image from LR to Photoshop. Depending on how creative someone goes on the sliders and tone curve, eventual color banding may happen when converting between color profiles.
Thanks for considering,
-mg

Interesting responses everybody. I do think LR is a good program as I have been using the beta as well as Aperture and comparing the two. Extensis Portfolio , although not a "developing" program from the beginning had no size limitation in its cataloging. It extracted(or created) a thumbnail, generated jpg previews and automatically updated changes to files each time the program was started. In contextual menus you could export a copy, open in PS, and various other commands right out of the program without hogging memory. Nobody has offered an educated reason for the size limitation. Can it not manage memory ? Ok, maybe not, but that doesn't mean it couldn't at least catalog the large files. If this is the case , my suggestion would be to implement a "lock out" feature that would not let you "develop" large files in LR but could still generate and update thumbnails and allow you to organize them within your filing system. Then you could at least manage versions and changes within LR with out having to switch to Bridge or the like. Making JPG versions is not a good workaround.. to assume people only have a "few" large files to keep track is very one-dimensional thinking. I personally know of several mural photographers that work exclusively with digital cameras/backs , are they not considered a valued target market for LR ?

Feature Request: Export and Import all or part of vCenter configuration from the GUI

One of the challenges we face is how to recover a large vCenter to a different VM, without having to restore any databases or use vCenter VMs and databases on replicated storage. We currently have a PowerCLI based process for exporting vCenter configurations - vCenter settings, roles/privs, alarm definitions, datacenters/clusters/hosts - to an XML file, which can then be used to import that vCenter configuration into a recovery vCenter. Three part process - export the vCenter configuration, import the settings and structure (datacenters, clusters, alarms), then import the hosts. This last step pulls in the hosts once by one from the original vCenter, complete with their running VMs and once all hosts in a cluster are imported creates the required Resource Pools and moves the VMs in to them. A subsequent script moves all the VMs into appropriate blue folders based on their CMDB classification/OS.
The above process is OK, but has a number of faults:
It's all or nothing for a migration, unless there is some serious editing of the XML dump to extract, for example, a specific datacenter or cluster, which could if incorrectly done result in configuration issues, hosts not being imported, etc.
It can't (at least not in vc4.x) migrate dvSwitches. If we have those in a datacenter, we're going to have to reconfigure the hosts and VMs back onto conventional vSwitches
We'd really like to see a native tool built in to vSphere Client or the Web Client that will allow all or part of a vCenter configuration to be exported to an XML or other flat file and then imported into another vCenter in one easy step, taking running VMs, dvSwitches - the lot. In the same way you can export host and vCenter logs with a few clicks, it should be possible to do something similar for vCenter configurations. This would be useful for a number of things - vCenter recovery, vCenter upgrade, individual datacenter or cluster migration.

Feature Request - True strokes instead of path fills...

Love Adobe Ideas on iPad - better than a tablet as you can see what you are sketching including tracing over your hand drawn sketches. Love the smoothing option - can create more formal illustrations and refine in Illustrator CS6 or CC.
One thing I noticed is that lines are not strokes but are path fills for the pencil brush. Can we have a brush that is a real stroke line - so we can use manipulate colors and thicknesses in Illustrator using strokes. Right now all lines are fills - it makes sense for pressure sensitive brushes where line thickness varies but not for a simple line brush.

I have just been pulling my hair out with this same issue! I'm fairly new to Illustrator, so figured it was me just not knowing how to do something simple.
Also I don't think the pen tool in Ideas is really a pen tool as we know it.

Feature Request - Export Available Preview.

Let's assume you have a library built from many separate Hard Drives, (my library is on a separate small 500g HD) and your heading out on location (cottage/holiday) for a few days and you'd like to do a rough edit of some project, it would be nice to be able to export the 1:1 previews (they are already there in the previews file) to work with.
Just me?

+1 vote.
In the mean time, I use PreviewExporter for this purpose.

Feature request - Export Draw files from Creative Cloud to Illustrator

It's really annoying that you can't export Draw files from assets.adobe.com to Illustrator CC, that you have to do this from your iPad. If my battery is flat, or I have left my iPad somewhere I can only export REALLY crappy low res jpgs or pngs. Coupled with the recent issues the Send to Illustrator function has suffered it's annoying that work is being locked up in this way. I understand that it's important for Adobe to protect their products, but these restrictions are making workflows really hard work. It would be ideal if we could access the mobile files using the Place tool in inDesign etc too so we could drop a drawing file in to a document in the same way we can a regular image or ai/psd file

This is a bug. Will update this thread once it is fixed.

Feature Request : Export (3rd Option)

When I re-export from a catalogue I am working on, sometimes I am exporting images I have exported before.
So . . . Lightroom asks me: Do you want to
a. Overwrite exixting files or
B. Create unique filenames.
. . . which, BTW -in my humble opinion, is flawed anyway since the unique filenames do not appear in the file listing anywhere near their companion.
Example: Img008 does not get a uniquely named copy like Img008-b, but instead gets something like copy-Img008 - which does not allow for quick side-by-side comparisons in an image browser.
(SO: Unique filename option should be fixed!)
But there should also be a third option: (the real reason I write)
C. Ignore duplicates (Do not overwrite or create new file when there is already an existing file.) This will save my computer lots of processing time trying to re-export over existing files.
Now for arguments sake, you could tell me just to not select the pre-existing exported files when I export, but in my particular case, that would involved nearly as much brain power as not doing it consumes computer time, since I have already exported selected non-sequential files for my first export, and I'll be damned if I can remember which ones they were until the export "expert" tells me which files are about to be duplicated.

It keeps the password. Whatever issues you are having are the exception, not the rule. However, without any system info, nobody can really help. Start by reviewing these steps:
Sign in or activation errors
And since you are in a corporate environment, definitely talk to IT and have them release the necessary network ports and grant sufficient user privileges to make this stuff stick...

Feature Request: Export Clipboard

Currently, I keep "Export Clipboard" off because almost all of my Copy & Paste actions happen exclusively inside of Photoshop and having the option active slows down Copy & Paste actions. However, on the rare occasion that I do want to paste content into another application, I have to go to preferences, enable "Export Clipboard", perform the copy operation, paste inside the other application, go back to my Photoshop preferences and turn "Export Clipboard" off again.
As a solution, I propose that a simple "Export Clipboard" or "Copy to Clipboard and Export" item be added to the edit menu when the "Export Clipboard" option is disabled in Preferences to make that whole workflow quite a bit easier, faster and far less annoying.

Feature Request // Book Module: Export as indd file and management

Book Module: Export as indd file and management
I would like to request a feature to export a book module as indd file.
I like PDF's but .indd is nice also so we are able to to more in depth layouts.
Having Lightoom being able to manage all your pictures and book layouts would be nice, alot of things can be done in one application.
Another Feature: Using Lightoom as book layout management.
Being able to send a page(s) of the book from lightroom into InDesign to do indepth layout and editing, then being able to send it back into lightroom
Almost similar to how you can send a photo from LR in Photoshop to do indepth editing and then send it back into lightroom.
This could and will ease the workflow of book management and layout design. So lightroom will not only be able to manage photos, but also indesign and book layouts.

Why do repeat it here, as you have already filed a feature request for it?
BTW AFAIK this is already implemented: you can use Adobe Illustrator or InDesign or Opensource Scribus to edit layouts.
They are just not ready to publish how - another sign of the quality processes at Adobe.
But you do not send from the book module.
You create upfront layout templates, which you can import for use inside LR book module.
This is a one-way street.
The book module designers did not acknowledge a use case where you might want to fiddle the exact placement of really chosen images.
It is always you first design a template, then use it.
Love it or leave it - *change it* is not an option that Adobe seems to give to their beta testers.

Feature Request: Make a Setting Option for Export - Media - What to Render

As I just changed after many years with Premiere Elements to Pro, I certainly find many things just anconversant.
But there's one thing I really can't take: When I'm trying to render a project, there's a small selection list near the bottom of the "Export Media" window saying "export area". Here I can choose between "complete sequence", "work area", "sequence in/out" and "defined by user". This option jumps always back to "work area"!
That's at least for me very unconveniant, because in 99+ % of my renderings, I need "complete sequence". Normally the software remembers the last used setting, but not in this case. I can imagine that one can fight about what's the best default setting: I Guess everyone is using Premiere differently. So in my opinion a predefined setting option would solve best for all: Just add one mor setting in the Presets section, maybe in "General" or make a new rubric "Export" or something. Just a place where everyone can predefine which setting for the export media area option he likes.
No big deal, just one more presettings option!
I hope I could make myself clear what I'm meaning
Thanks in advance!

Feature request - Non-destructive export to Photoshop Touch

IOS iWork Numbers Feature Request: Generic Export

Files can be imported to numbers easily from any app that supplies the right file types. Can we not get generic export functionality to send it back to any app that can receive the correct file type?
he lack of this feature severely limits the usefulness of this app. While you're about it I might be inclined to use the other iWork apps if they also included this feature. Right now I'm regretting downloading numbers and won't be getting the others.

FEATURE REQUEST: make swipe-down Notifications bar disable-able

I use the iPad as a drawing tablet every day, using Brushes, ArtRage, and other drawing apps.
It's wonderful and I am delighted to be able to do this . . . EXCEPT WHEN I DRAW A STROKE DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.
The introduction of the new pull-down Notifications drawer has led to loud cursing and a strong desire to break things, for me. When one is drawing, one is not in a state in which one wishes to glance at what the next day's schedule is at. Furthermore, the active area of the pull-down also 'catches' the drawing input, so the stroke which is misdirected into the Notification dialog is lost work, and subsequent rapid stokes, up to the threshold of my reaction time, also do not register.
I must then dismiss the godforsaken irritating dialog in order to continue drawing. It is the most incredibly irritating interaction I have ever experienced on an Apple product.
Please permit the dialog to be disabled either user-globally or on a per-app basis as a user-configurable setting.

even with all notifications turned off the drawer remains active. there's no way to disable it.
while this may be a user to user forum apple people do contribute. I did file this as a feature request but wanted it to be visible and searchable.

Feature Request: Photo Borders and Copying in Books

These are a few related feature requests. If anyone knows of a better way to do this with the current software, then I would love to hear it.
When making books I like to have borders around the pictures of various colors (usually black or white) and various widths. In Apeture this is a pain to do. I fiqured out that I could fake it by making a picture box and inserting a solid black picture into it and then creating a smaller picture box in front of it for my real photo. This might be tolerable if I could at least then select both picture boxes and their contents to copy and then onto other pages as a template that I can resize as needed.
Ideally I would love to be able to copy and paste multiple elements on a book page and I would like to be able to define photo borders. Any chance of seeing this in the near future?
Thanks,
Sean

Thanks for the reply. You are right, the cut and paste works fine, it just didn't work the way I expected it to. Maybe that is a GUI design thing to consider. I was actually trying to click and drag a selection box like you might do in iPhoto to select multiple images that are right beside each other. This doesn't work at all in Aperture, but your method does work just fine.
I agree with the other poster that some additional features like:
Photo Borders
Export to PSD (with layers)
Custom page sizes and Custom themes
would be very nice and start to make that tool truley useful.
Thanks for a really nice product. Keep up the good work and stay ahead of the pack.
