How can i heal a "transparent" area in an LR-created pano?

When I shoot handheld pano's, there are usually "missing" areas in the sky or ground because of my handheld sloppiness. In theory, these can often be fixed with the healing or cloning brush if the sky or ground is reasonably consistent. Using PTGui, my stitcher of choice, the default settings left these areas transparent, and LR refused to heal them, but by checking the "no alpha channel" box when I stitch the final pano they would become black, and thus healable. Now, when I stitch pano's with LR, I'm back to seeing transparent, un-healable areas in the jagged top and bottom. Is there any way to make them healable?

>Is there any way to make them healable?
Unfortunately, the ability to clone/heal beyond the original image boundary is not supported by Lightroom. Therefore, as others have described, you'll need to send the image over to Photoshop then use the tools available to you there (e..g. Clone, Heal, Patch, Content Aware Fill).

How can I heal a "transparent" area?

I've got a panorama that has several narrow "missing" areas at the top, due to the geometry and the sloppiness of the handheld shooting. It seems like it should be no problem, because the sky is pretty much white, though not quite (about 89-89-89) . But, I've been unable to heal them with the brush. I've tried both heal and clone, and neither seems to have any effect. The slices show as bright white, against an almost white sky. I'm not sure if the slices are really white, or if they are transparent. I guess the latter. Here's a screen shot
You can see that, even though the area is cloned (or healed) from an area of consistent color, the slice at the top remains white.
Any advice is appreciated!
LR 5.2, MacOS 10.7.5. Panorama made with PTGui, and generated as a tif.

In PTGui, to the right of "File format:" is a button labeled "Settings:".
Select "No Alpha Channel" there.
You now get a pano with black instead of transparent areas and you can clone over them.

Seems to me there's very little merit in the colors of the High Contrast themes! :-)
Try it this way instead:
Right-click on the desktop and choose Personalize.
Select an Aero theme first.
Save a new named theme with a name something like "Aero Lite"
Navigate to the following folder and edit the .theme file just created:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
Scroll down to the [VisualStyles] section near the bottom.
Change the Path= filename from Aero.msstyles to AeroLite.msstyles
In Personalize, go select another theme then this theme again.
That gives you this:
Only downside I've seen so far with this is that when dragging and dropping things in File Explorer the icons that appear with the cursor are no longer partially transparent, so you end up have to guess just a little where you're dropping them.

How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture. I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error. I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture. How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles. Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.

Before you begin the import, edit the properties of the tracks to set the Album Artist to Various Artists and Part of a Compilation to Yes.

How can I display images that are not included in any collection?

How can I display images that are not included in any collection (some filter or smart collection)? A smart collection with parameters "Collection - contains - empty field" does not work. Lightroom 5.

Thank you! Good idea! I ordered letters of the alphabet (space separated), and it works.

How can I determine what computers are home sharing??

Launch iTunes on the computers you're interested in. Check in the "Advanced" menu.
If "Turn on Home Sharing" is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is not Home Sharing.
If "Turn off Home Sharing ([accountname]) is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is Home Sharing.

I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y"

HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

Hi !
I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
That brings me to my question.
How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
Has anybody a good hint for me?
Thomas

You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?

I have an airport express extending, through wireless, a network provided by an airport extreme. How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?
Here you can see both routers:
I would expect to some clients connected to the express, other than the extreme. And that's all I see: only the airport extreme appears as client of the airport express.
Below, one can see the summary of the config for both routers.
Would somebody explain it?
Thanks,
Marcelo
