Film Strip v Loupe Grid view

Why are selections handled differently in the Loupe Grid view to the filmstrip. I cannot get my head around why when I select several images in the filmstrip which I want to correct for whitebalance why this does not work in the filmstrip and it forces me to change and move to grid view to get this done.
I would expect this to work in develop in the same way in that I would be able to pick several pics in the filmstrip and apply the same change
to all pictures selected.
Not sure if this is a feature request or is it a bug, or is it just me?
Regards
Roger R.

Alas, it didn't work. I did it twice--the second time rebooting the computer before starting Lightroom. I didn't expect the reboot to make a difference, but I did discover something else in the process: the second time I tried this, I accidentally opened a different catalog--and new photos imported just FINE into that one, thumbnails and all! For one moment I thought the reboot HAD made the difference. However, when I reopened the catalog I actually wanted, the original problem remained. Thumbnails don't load with import, and, when forced, only display up to three at a time.
So the problem seems specific to this catalog.
And yes--thank you for affirming that reinstalling Lightroom wouldn't work, either. (I forgot to mention that's what I had tried first. It didn't help--but it's nice to know it wasn't supposed to.)
Thank you so much for your reply. Do you have any other ideas, please?
With many thanks, truly,
Rita

Lightroom 4.4: Only 3 thumbnails will display at a time in both Grid view and the Film Strip

Hi. I have Lightroom 4.4. and Windows 7--both of which have been working fine for several months. Starting a few days ago, however, thumbnails have refused to load for any NEW photos I import. They appear gray/blank in both Grid view and the film strip. However, if you click on any of the film strip thumbnails (while in either Grid view or Develop mode), that thumbnail and corresponding image WILL load--until up to three have done so. Then they begin disappearing again, allowing you to view no more than three images' thumbnails at any one time.
I can't review a shoot via Grid mode this way. I'm also afraid to use Lightroom while it's misbehaving, for fear of corrupting the catalog somehow (though all the images appear to be there). Searching this forum, I found several people who experienced having all of their thumbnails blank out and who were able to correct this by either reinstalling or removing their color profiling software. However, 1) I did this (and it didn't work), and 2) it isn't that all my thumbnails that have disappeared. All the thumbnails and images imported prior to the bug, still initially display correctly.* And I can get three thumbnails of the newer images to appear at a time.
*The asterisk is because after I poked around some more, I realized that if I opened other folders and began post-processing images from older uploads (vs. just viewing them), the thumbnails that initially displayed correctly everywhere also blank out and begin appearing in this up-to-three-at-a-time fashion.
Help, please?
With many thanks,
Rita

LR 3.6 cannot view photos in film strip in Library mode. Can view photos on Develop setting.

On LR 3.6 I cannot view my photos on the film strip in the LIBRARY setting. On DEVELOP I can view on photo at a time on the film strip (the rest of the photos are not viewable). This is a new problem which has only occured on the last two imports.

Sounds like a corrupted preview cache. Close LR and find the catalog on the hard drive. Rename the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) - don't touch the lrcat catalog file. Then open LR and see if the previews reappear. If they do, select all in Grid view tonight when you go to bed and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Sized Previews - it take a long time so it's worth running overnight. If everything looks good in the morning, you can delete the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) that you renamed earlier.

Loupe and Grid view rendering not as good as Develop view.

I recently see that while using LR 5.6 the images rendered in the loupe and grid views do not look nearly as good as the same image displayed in the develop view. I have screen grabs if you'd like to see them below. The Loupe and grid are not as saturated and the gradient in the sky is not nearly as smooth. If I bounce between 'E' and 'D' it is pretty obvious. Once in a while the 'E' (loupe) view looks the same. I'm afraid that I will delete an image based on what I see in the Loupe or do unnecessary edits on an image. When I exported to jpg, the images looked pretty good.
Grid:
Loupe:
Develop:

As far as what could be contributing to a difference, other than an actual bug:
LR Previews are stored as AdobeRGB JPGs, so Library previews go from LR-Internal color profile to AdobeRGB to Display color profile, whereas Develop previews go directly from LR-Internal color profile to Display color profile. If there are some colors that are outside of AdobeRGB then some conversion may occur. The conversion to 8-bit JPG is also probably adding banding that Develop wouldn’t show. There might also be Relative vs Perceptual color profile conversion differences occurring. I don’t know the specifics of which is used for the Adobe color profile conversion and whether what you’re seeing is outside the expected variations.
If you view at less than 1:1/100% zoom, especially with Fit or Fill, then small details that vary across the group of original image pixels that are displayed as one display pixel can be averaged differently due to differences in the downsampling algorithms used between computing Library file previews and computing Develop display previews where Develop’s is built for speed because it occurs in real-time after every slider movement, where Library previews are computed in the background and so can use a more accurate resampling algorithm. Usually this is only a difference in sharp/smoothness but it can also manifest as a difference in tone if there are lots of tiny noise spots getting averaged together inaccurately in Develop or more accurately in Library.
Since I can see only a tiny difference between Library and Develop on my monitor in this particular example, I can't imagine that small difference is enough to reject the Library version and accept the Develop version. Maybe you're seeing others with more differences?

Make Edit time and Edit count info available in Loupe Info, grid view option, Edit History panel and Smart Collection

We all know that Lightroom can sort images in grid view by edit time or edit count. I cannot find any way to display edit time and/or edit count in view option or loupe info. I think these should be made viewable. Without them, when you have a large batch of image and you previously edited only some and come back later to finish, you don't know which ones need more work, etc.
Another useful thing is that Edit History should have an option to show the date/time of the edit. It may be shown when mouse is hovered over an edit item line.
Similarly, smart folder can filter the images by Edit Time being before/after a certain date. However, if I have no way of knowing what the edit times and counts are, this feature has little use.
Alll of the above should be a specific date like 08-20-2009 or Today, yesterday, 43 days ago, etc. Both forms are useful for different purposes.

Good idea.
Also, it would be good if the SDK functions for updating custom metadata did not necessarily bump the edit time.

Panel behavior in Loupe view seperate from Grid view

When I am in grid view I like to have the left navigation panel open. However when I am in Loupe view I like to have all panels closed. Please make it so that the panel view can be different between Grid and Loupe.
Thank you

" It is not that much extra work to hit the tab key." Perhaps not. But doing so changes the state of all panels not just the left panel. I would like finer control for loupe view.
You are right though, it is not a high priority matter. I can make due as it is now. I just want it the other way.
Thanks

View as Film Strip

Please restore the Menu View/Film Strip as an option.
I cannot imagine why it was eliminated in CS3. The result is diminished functionality.

My apologies. I've been shown that the lower right-hand corner has icons which change the view.
I used the Photoshop Help to try to find an answer, but I had no success. So far, I prefer the CS2 Help.

Thumbnail size in Browser (Grid) View?

Greetings,
In Browser View, I change the size of the thumbnails to five across. When I close and then reopen Aperture, the thumbnail size has changed to four across. Is this the default size and is there a way to change it to keep it the way you set it?
Thanks in advance - Scrags

Aperture 2.0.1 will remember any adjustments to the size of thumbnails in the "Browser Only" window. If you select "Browser + Viewer" AND film stripe for thumbnails (not grid) then the thumbnail size will automatically be adjusted according to the size of the Browser window.

Bug? scroll bar hides behind filmstrip in Grid view

In Library Grid view, when scrolling to the bottom of the grid, the scroll bar slider gets hidden behind the film strip at the bottom of the window.
OS: WinXP SP2, 4GB RAM

Okay, I will answer my own question in case anyone else sees the problem.
When I am viewing my large catalog with only three thumbnails across in LR, I lose the little button to slide up and down. When I change Grid View to show four or more thumbnails, the button reappears. I'd suggest this is a bug needing fixing.

File name not showing in grid view

I just upgraded to LR 5.4 and I noticed that now when I am in grid view, only the capture date and dimensions show on the image when I run my cursor over it. I used to get a quick pop-up with the file name, capture date & dimensions, so I can quickly see where I am in my numbering system. I have looked at the preferences and also in view, but it is not apparent to me where it went, plus I know I didn't change anything, intentionally.
BTW, I also upgraded to Mavericks OS on my iMac, but I hope that is not what is wrong. I know Adobe put out a bunch of "patches" for Bridge, etc. but I have already downloaded and updated all that.

When you are in Library module/Grid mode, the text that appears in the hovering action is controlled by the Info Overlay. The Info Overlay has three states: Off, Info 1 and Info 2.
Go to View>Loupe Overlay and put a check mark next to the Overlay you wish to be active and your hovering enabled text will change to match that text.

Problem sorting by Artist in grid view using Itunes 8

I have a lot of albums that contain various artist and i set up the info in each with the correct artist name and "various artist" as the album artist. In itunes 8 when i use grid view and use show by artist it displays by album artist putting all the albums by "various artist" in one grid. It's correct in list and cover flow view. How can i set the grid view to display by the artist of the song and not the album. (ex. Soundtrack from the motion picture Tropic Thunder: Display "U Can't Touch This" under MC Hammer instead of Various Artist)

Actually, the grid view should be using the Album Artist tag. When the Album Artist tag was added in iTunes 7.0, the intent was to allow users to properly tag songs based on the artist and any guest artists. For instance, on Luther Vandross’ album +Give Me The Reason+ Track 6, “There’s Nothing Better Than Love” is a duet. Therefore, while the Artist tag for the rest of the tracks should be ‘Luther Vandross’, the correct tag content for Track 6 is ‘Luther Vandross duet with Greory Hines’. Without having ‘Luther Vandross’ in all the Album Artist tags for all 9 album tracks, iTunes would split the album as if there are two albums of the same name by different artists.
The other situation are producer-driven albums like Quincy Jones’ +The Dude+ or +Back On The Block+ . These are not compilations, as you described, because the songs were produced for the albums and Quincy Jones, although not a performer on any of the tracks, is the album artist. The exception is soundtracks that are compilations of songs typically produced for a given film. Like the situation you describe, each track has a different artist, so by having ‘Quincy Jones’ in the Album Artist tag for each track, iTunes maintains the integrity of the album and keeps the tracks properly grouped.
(Now if Apple would only acknowledge and fix the persistent bug that does not carry these grouping and sorting features over to the user’s music folder when they have enabled “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” in iTunes’ preferences.)
The situation you are specifically referencing is that of tagging compilations—albums that consist of tracks by various artists where there is no actual album artist—but you have used the Album Artist tag effectively forcing iTunes to see them as single artist albums. I also tag compilations—e.g., Various Artists (Hip Hop), Various Artists (Jazz), Various Artists (R&B), Various Artists (Soundtrack), etc.—, so I understand what you have done. Unfortunately, the fix for forcing the grid view to recognize individual artists in compilations may require you to clear out the Album Artist tag on all of your compilation album tracks forcing iTunes to revert to the Artist tag in place of the Album Artist tag.
What I would suggest is clearing the Album Artist tag of just one compilation and seeing what happens. If the album appears under “Unknown Artist”, or some other generic listing, in the grid view then iTunes only recognizes the Album Artist tag and I am at a loss as to what you could do. If it works as you hope, then you can go ahead an clear out the Album Artist field on the rest of your compilation albums.
The downside of clearing the Album Artist field is that iTunes will revert to its pre-version 7 habits and break up the albums; that is, a compilation with 12 tracks by 12 different artists will appear in the various views as 12 different albums albeit with the same name and cover art. To keep the tracks properly grouped in other views, you will need to mark all of the tracks from the compilation albums as “Part of a compilation” in the info dialog.

LR5.5 Cannot rate individual images in grid view

Here's the problem I'm having on LR5.5 on Mac 10.8.5:
In grid view, I select a range of images and hit "N" to go into Survey mode. When I highlight a single image and type a 1-4 rating it assigns that rating to every image selected in the survey. Even hitting "E" to enter Loupe mode from Survey mode does the same thing -- all images selected in the range are assigned the rating, not just the highlighted image. This is a big change from previous versions of LR, making it difficult to compare images and rate individuals.
Has anyone experienced this problem and/or found a solution?
Thanks very much.

Trying ticking it and unticking it to see if it is stuck. It works fine on the two systems I've tested.

No images in Library grid view

Hi,
In V1.0, when I set my Library to grid view I only see my images for a short while. Then all images turn to grey squares. Updating the grid (like changing thumbnail size or sorting order) again shows images only for a short while.
Loupe and Compare view are ok.
Never had this with the Beta versions.
Is there a setting I need to change?
Thx,
Haya

Broken film strip thumbnails on my video files

I need help, please? I have downloaded a bunch of videos from my Panasonic camcorder to my organizer in Photoshop Elements 6 and all the thumbnails are a black and white broken film strip..they have a file extension of MOD. I can double click on them and see them, but there is no sound. These are very important videos of my Grandson and I don't want to lose them. All the other videos from my Canon camera are in AVI and work fine. Can someone help me retrieve these videos? I am new to these forums so if anyone has an answer could you please contact me at my e-mail address [email protected] Thank you.

Try changing the file name from .mod to .mpg
If you can’t see the file extension as part of the name try this in Windows:
1. Open the explorer window where the folder where your files are located.
2. Select the Tools à Folder Options
3. Click the View Tab
4. Uncheck the option to “Hide extensions for known file types”
5. Click “apply or apply to All Folders.
6. Click ok and close
7. You should now be able see all the file extensions when you browse to your folder of videos.
8. Right click on a filename you wish to change and select Rename
9. Change the last three letter to mpg and hit return.
They should play in Windows Media Player or QuickTime and hopefully be recognized by Elements unless you need a missing codec.

Blurry images when zooming in Survey & Grid View

When I am in Survey View and hit the Z key, some of the previews are blurry. The same thing happens in Grid View. However, in Loupe View, the images are fine when I the 'Z' key. Using Survey View would make things go faster when making my picks. Any ideas why this happens?
I tried rendering 1:1 but the returns a mesage that says renders are up to date and rendering was done.

This is definitely a bug. I can see it too, and it's little bit annoying. LR 4.1, Win7 x64.
To reproduce just select two images, render 1:1 previews to be shure they are present.
Then press 'N' to switch to Survey mode, and now press 'Z' to zoom in active photo.
It gets zoomed, but looks like LR zooms in standard (smaller) preview instead of using 1:1 preview - the result is blurry and a little pixelated, it definitely lacks resolution.
But when in the Loupe view (switch view using 'E') and zooming all work just fine - the image is at full resolution and is sharp.
And even if I switch from Survey to Loupe with zoomed in image - it still stays blurry.
To get sharp image I need to zoom out and then zoom in again.
So in short - it looks like 1:1 preview is used only when image is zoomed in from the Loupe view.
At least others seem to experience the same thing so I know it's not just me. I'd say it's more than a little bit annoying because it causes you to second guess yourself and you constantly have to switch to a view to see if the image is actually sharp or not. It really slows down the workflow.
