Highlights are rendered unevenly, in LR4.1 and in outputs

I am using LR 4.1 on a Mac with OS 10.6.8, and my highlights are showing banding or steps in the highlights as they gradate from bright to pure white. Seems to happen no matter which camera was used. Also, tiffs and jpegs output from the raw file exhibit the same banding. I do not remember this being an issue in LR 3.6 which I just upgraded from, but when I just now opened the same image in LR 3.6 I see the same problem. I just upgraded the OS before installing LR 4.1. Could the new OS be the problem? Is there a known issue with this in LR4? The only local adjustment I have made is spot removal.
If there is a thread on this already, please direct me to it. I searched and did not find one.
Thanks,
Jerry Mann

Hi Rikk, thanks for the reply.
I am on an iMac, this one here:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.4-20-inch-aluminum-earl y-2008-penryn-specs.html
From my system profiler:
ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT
iMac Display:
Resolution:
1680 x 1050
Pixel Depth:
32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Hmmm, is that "32-Bit Color Pixel Depth" a problem with LR4 having that 64-bit spec?
I calibrate my monitor manually using Apple's procedure.

Images are Blurry in FM 12 CHM and WebHelp Output.

Hello,
I am using the Trial version of FM 12 and attempting to export to both WebHelp and CHM.
We would like to use the original images, but the Publish process is resizing them. I read that setting Maximum Dimensions, Width and Height to 0 will cause the program not to resize the image. However, when I set W/H to 0, the images are deleted from my project output.
When I generate WebHelp I noticed that the HTML has a set style, but I haven't selected any of the options in the Image style.
<p class="FM_Figure"><img alt="UserRoles04NewRole.png" style="width : 306.319pt; height : 96.559pt; margin-bottom : 0.000pt; " id="image3" src="UserRoles04NewRole.png" /> </p>
I'm glad that the HTML is referencing the original graphic, I was thinking that for sure that the graphics were converted during the Publish process. But how do I configure my .sts so that the images are not resized?
Thanks!

Do the SVG vectors survive as vector?
And is that true for all work flows? (ebook, HTML, XML)
> Maybe there's a way to tag the image, one for print output and one for online use, ...
Yep, you can generate multiple instances of the images, and put each in a separate anchored frame. Then tag the frame anchor (┻) in the text with a Condition Code. Have a named CC for each workflow. Newer versions of FM may allow streamlining the CC Show/Hide process book-wide with scripting. Don't put the anchors right next to each, or they become impossible to select later. Anchor each frame to different points in the paragraph (and not inside words, other than words made of words, as that can break spell-check).

Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section

Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section
I used Colormunkie Photo to create an .ICM file for printer calibration. When that failed I tried changing the suffix to .ICC. Under neither circumstance did LR4.2 display the file in the menu to select printer profile. There were several display files with both suffixes but no printer files at all. I tried three times with no success and cannot think of what else to try. The first two were the same. I varied the file creation name suffix in the third. Help will be appreciated. My OS is Win 7 ultimate SP1 Printer is HP 2550L laserjet.

Glad you found your answer, Colormunki is smart enough to figure out the color space for the printer as I found out - But for quality work the latest generation of inkjet printers from Epson and Canon are hard to beat, and compared to a laserjet the quality is like night and day. The other benefit of changing up to an inkjet printer is the choice of papers available which you could not put through a laserjet.
I had a colleague that tried printing on Photoglossy paper through his color laser and it fried the fuser, and HP, while they replaced the fuser unit under warranty, made it very clear that that was a daft thing to do.
So if I were in your position I would go with an inkjet and you will then enjoy the benefits of better quality output, better paper choices and with your Colormunki be able to make custom profiles that will work in LR
Cheers

Font rendering is not always accurate, and bullets are sometimes just pinpoints. Is there a way to fix this?

for instance, in the website I created, www.menletter.org, the fonts are not the ones I created and the bullets are pinpoints. Seems to do fine in MS IE.

With all due respect, that isn't a real web page. It's a Word document with html tags, which is only going to be rendered completely in IE and other browsers that play loose with the standards. Right-click that page in Firefox and select View Page Source, everything in green is code that isn't valid and code that Firefox ignores. You need a better "tool" to create web pages that work correctly in all browsers that follow W3C standards.

LR4.4 AND D800 NEF FILES

I attempted to load several photos from my new D800 on LR4.4, actually it was add. About the first 10 photos had an error message which read Preview not available for NEF files. The other 59 or so pics downloaded with not issue, it was just the first 10 or so. later I noticed that all the ones that were loaded were 8bit. I think the ones that wouldn't preview were 14 bit. I processed those in CS6, saved as a TIFF, saved back to my external HD and added them to LR. I'm using a new iMac 27" (less than 2 mos old). Using Mac Mountain Lion as the operating system. Is there a 14 bit issue with LR and the NEF files for the Nikon D800?

I have my D800 set to 14 bit, just as my previous Nikons. No problem there.
Raw files are in any case encoded into 16 bit in Lightroom. 8 bit files either have to be jpegs (jpeg only supports 8 bit), or they have been exported as 8 bit rendered files from Lightroom.
The "Add" option is not available when you import from a card reader, you only have "copy" and "copy as DNG". So have you transfered the files onto your computer with an old version of Nikon Transfer? It's known to corrupt files so that Lightroom can't read them (the newer versions are OK). I think View NX did that too.
The CDs that came with my D800 are still in their plastic wrapping and I've no intention to touch them, whatever they contain.

I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles. These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML. To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read. Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight. Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database: the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature. While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items. Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight. Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight. As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them. Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight. This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items" (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results. When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step. A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed. Is there a way for Automator to do this?

Hi,
With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
"I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
Project specs:
                    - 1920x1080 sq pix (16:9)
                    - 25 fps
                    - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
Please give it a look.
Thanks,
Jef

How to enforce an order in which the Individual tabs are rendered in a tab navigator?

Is there a way to enforce the order in which these individual tabs are rendered? The order is not predictable and there is a dependency in the application that one of the tabs is already completed rendered before the other. Please let me know.

Colour disparity between LR4.1 and Elements

Hi all.
I am new to Adobe and the printing of my digital images (using a third party lab).
Pictures I take are in RAW and I only use LR4.1 for post production before exporting images in JPEG and colour space sRGB. I am seeing a visible change on the same monitor between LR4.1 and Adobe Elements 6.0. I should point out the image I like is show in Elements 6.0 or other microsoft (colour managed) application.
Upon having some of the images printed I am seeing a close resemblance to what is in LR4.1 but the B&W images all seem to have this brown tint to them rather than the pure B&W I would expect as shown in Elements or other colour manged application.
On occasions the 'Detail' preview pain also shows the image in the B&W I would expect to see rather than the larger image displayed or that shown under the 'navigator' menu.
I should also point out that on the same monitor (Dell 2208WFP) the colour pictures are near as perfect.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you for your time.

You have a corrupted monitor profile. You can confirm it using these instructions: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/2008/12/28/corrupted-monitor-profile/ but that's only a temporary fix - you then need to calibrate the monitor properly.

I add more highlighted areas to my form how do I save it so it shows up when some downloads it from my website

When you say freeze, how long for? The Finder may just be temporarily bogged down and unresponsive. If I had the time and I was you I'd just leave it overnight to see how things go.
If not you may have to boot in via the CLI and do things from there. This is something I can't help with though I'm sure someone will chime in with some info.

Websites are rendering at 665px wide on a 1024x768 resolution

I was looking into a complaint about site rendering at 1024x768 screen resolution and upon inspecting the web page with the window maximized and zoom set to 100%, the HTML and BODY tags are showing to only be 665px wide. They should be rendering closer to 1000 pixels. I have confirmed that nothing is checked off in the Compatibility tab, per this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Screen%20resolution%20changes%20when%20starting%20Firefox
I replicated on Windows 7 using Firefox 32.0.3.

You can rename (or delete) the <b>content-prefs.sqlite</b> file to content-prefs.sqlite.old in the Firefox profile folder to reset the page zoom for all websites.
What does the Box Model tab in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) show?

[Solved, install dejavu font] Libre Office fonts are rendered as boxes

Been a while since I've posted and thank you in advance for any help offered.
My issue is pretty straight forward: all my menus and fonts in Libre Office Writer show up as boxes instead of letters. I have searched the wiki and forums for a solution but most people who have this problem fix the issue by installing the right language pack.
As you can see below that isn't my issue:
local/libreoffice-common 4.1.4-3 (libreoffice)
common files for LibreOffice - a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites
local/libreoffice-en-US 4.1.4-3
English (US) language pack for LibreOffice
local/libreoffice-writer 4.1.4-3 (libreoffice)
Word Processor Application for LibreOffice.
I have no plug-ins installed apart from hunspell, mythes and hyphenation. I removed these packages but there was no change.
This machine is a Dell laptop with the Intel video chip and thus I have the correct driver installed and everything else works fine:
:root: ~ : pacman -Qs intel
local/intel-dri 10.0.2-1
Mesa drivers for Intel
local/xf86-video-intel 2.99.907-2 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers
I tried nuking my Libre Office directory in my home directory but that yielded no change. My .gtk-* directories don't contain anything specific to LO.
These are the only fonts I've added to this install (thanks boohoomil) and are not customised in any way:
local/cairo-infinality-ultimate 1.12.16-3 (infinality-bundle)
Cairo vector graphics library with respect-fontconfig, expose and Ubuntu patches (infinality-bundle)
local/fontconfig-infinality-ultimate 2.11.0-15 (infinality-bundle)
A library for configuring and customizing font access (includes generic fontconfig package and ultimate settings by bohoomil).
local/freetype2-infinality-ultimate 2.5.2-3 (infinality-bundle)
TrueType font rendering library with Infinality patches and custom settings by bohoomil (infinality-bundle).
I have gone so far as to try snapwm and Xfce4 but there is no difference in the font rendering in LO.
I'm stymied about this because I have used this setup previously on this and two other machines. Any ideas?

I thought of that but, as I use the infinality-bundle, which fonts do I need to test this hypothesis? Or can you suggest one I can install from the official repos?
[edit] Just after posting this I remembered that LO, as noted on the wiki somewhere, suggest one install the ttf-dejavu font. After installing this font everything is now showing correctly.
@nomorewindows, Thank you very much! I feel a bit silly but I learned something from this and for that I grateful to you.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work. Running a Mac, 10.6.8, I am cleaning up hard drives, organizing old files. There are times lightroom 4.2 (and before) does not recognize already imported raws and does not gray them out. These are backed up cards and folders of of raw images. Why is the "do not import selected duplicates" check box not working???!!!

There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos

FaceTime bright highlights are blown out, overexposed. How to fix this on my iMac with Lion?

If restarting doesn't fix, use the relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight. If nothing else there works, the repair by an Apple-Authorized Service Provider suggested there and by spudnuty will get it sorted.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
