How to identify HDR pictures in Lightroom?

The Canon 6D produces HDR photos from 3 intermediate pictures, and it discards the intermemdiates. The exif data on Lightroom (5) does not seem to identify the HDR photos, and I cannot find any other way to get Lightroom to identify HDR photos. Any ideas? The HDR photos are generally recognizable, visually, but it would still help to have Lightroom help identify them.
Thanks,
Tim

If you want to display exif metadata in Lightroom, which is not decoded natively by Lightroom, you need a plugin, like
ExifMeta
That particular plugin was written by me, but I am most certainly not pushing it.
But it is the only plugin I know of that supports (all) exif metadata for native Lightroom lib filtering and standard smart collections.
For simple on-demand viewing of exif metadata (one photo at a time), Jeffrey Friedl's Metadata Viewer plugin is excellent:

How to change the picture frame size in Lightroom 5 Book

I would like to control the actual picture frame size when making a Book in Lightroom 5. Or else know the sizes of the different picture frames provided by choosing the different page layouts. That way I can either change the picture frame dimensions to accomodate each photo or change the image size to fit in the offered picture frame. I find that using the software as is winds up cropping the images in unwanted ways. Modifying the picture frame would be my preferred alternative. Appreciate any ideas

Hi again Tony,
I have been using Adobe Photoshop 7, Photoshop Elements, Perfect Photo Suite, Photo Studio, etc., changing Image size, placing a picture on a page and then, do a simple last minute size adjustment by using the arrows to stretch or shrink it in place. Things would be a lot simpler if I could do the same thing with the cells in Lightroom 5. Cell pad adjustments do not fill the bill.
I think we’ve pretty much concluded this exchange. Thanks again for your effort.

How to remove a watermark from exported pictures in lightroom.

Hi everyone. I accidentally deleted a collection I was working on from lightroom 4 and the files were NOT backed up. All of the photos were edited and had my watermark on them. I exported all pictures into an album on my computer. I thought I could import them back in and lightroom would recognize the history and I would be able to remove my watermark. I need to create a disc for a customer and I NEED to get the watermark off. Is there a way to some-how retrieve the deleted collection from lightroom, or remove the watermark from the re-imported pictures??

What do you mean by "deleted a collection"??
If you mean that the collection is no longer present in the Collection Panel on the left, but the photos remain cataloged in Lightroom, then you ought to be able to find these photos in the Grid View, or via any of Lightroom's search tools, and export them without a watermark.
If you mean that the collection is no longer present in the Collection Panel on the left AND the photos no longer are present in Lightroom ... then ... ooops ... your best hope is a recent backup of the catalog file. If you don't have a recent backup (why not?), then: Alternative solution: if you had written the metadata to the files (which does not happen by default), then you could re-import the photos and your edits will appear; just export them without the watermark. If you have niether a recent backup nor saved metadata to the files, then I think you would need to start from scratch, import the photos again, edit them again, and export without watermark.
Philosophical aside: if the case is that the photos are not present in Lightroom anymore, then you might want to change your workflow to always leave photos in Lightroom. But please, don't plan on re-importing photos, this is not a good practice.

How do LR identify a picture?

There are many discussions on whether to keep metadata in LR only or both LR and in the images/sidecar. Pros and cons of both solutions. Many pros and cons. Anyway, that's not the topic here, but if we are to keep the data inside LR only, how sure can we be that the connection between an image in the database and the image on disk are kept? I mean - if an image changes name or changes location, how good will LR be in finding it again?
Or to rephrase the question - what is the logic behing how LR identifies a picture. I guess it's not path and filename only.

> I don't get this system at all. The file name tells you nothing you need to know but the date, and that's already in the EXIF info; you already know your name. The camera generated file name is particularly useless to me; I see its use only where one backup before renaming files.
> My file names tell me a bit about the subject, and are generally numbered under 1000. Everything else and more is in the file's metadata.
You're right that the file name doesn't tell you much, but then it doesn't need to! The only purpose of the file name in this system is to be uniquely identifiable. The *real* information is stored in the meta data where it should be. In this system, renaming files to be unique should take no effort or thought; it should simply be a case of running a script and backing up the files as soon as possible to limit the chances of data loss.
Having the initials in the file name can be useful if you have photographs from different photographers on your system. It is also useful if you send your photographs to companies or agencies - it can help to quickly identify who the photograph is from (albeit that information is in the meta data anyway).
The system certainly isn't for everyone and I'm not suggesting you should change yours. This naming system serves its purpose extremely well for me and for many others. Removing the burden of information from the file names and directory names and placing it in the meta data is a wonderful concept in my mind. It facilitates an organised and easy to maintain (and backup) file structure for your precious/valuable digital photographs.

How can my edited picture Back from PS CS3 to Lightroom?

I was working in a project. One picture I need to take it back to Photoshop CS3 for the edit. It works great. But after edit I could not take it back my edited picture to Lightroom and I did not see any command as well. And during that process I lost my edited picture and do all over again staying in the Photoshop.Is there any way that we can safely return to Lightroom with the edited picture?
Thank You.
jeevan

When you are finished editing in ps , make sure you use "save", not "save as".
If you use save, the edited file will "return" to LR automatically.
If you change the name, you are going to have to reimport it into LR from the disk. Andy

Yes, in library ive zoomed into 1:1 and the image is nice and sharp, but when i zoomed out, the sharpness disapears and the image is blurry again. I see a lot of people are having this problem. I also called adobe and talked to someone and they had no idea whats going on,

How to migrate publish service from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5?

I have been upgrading from LR4 to LR5. Then I imported the LR4 catalog. But no Publish service was following to LR5.
I have used the FLICKR plugin a lot - made more than 80 FLICKR-sets. Therefore I would be terribly sorry if I do not succeed in restoring the contact to the old service files. Does anybody know how to migrate publish services from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5? Very fine if it's going to be a kind of a workaround.
Best regards
Jimmy

You'll need to backtrack a little, open your LR4 catalogue in LR5 and allow it to upgrade the catalogue with publish services.
If you've done work on images in the "wrong move" catalogue, identify those images, select them, and do a File > Export as Catalog. in the "right move" catalogue, bring this work in by File > Import from Another Catalog.
Alternatively, it may be worth looking at Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin as he may have looked at this problem. Maybe someone here will know if it would help.

How do I get pictures on iPhone to appear on Apple TV?

How do I get pictures on iPhone to appear on Apple TV?

If you want your photos to end up in iPhoto, just do a normal sync. If you don't want to use iPhoto, or if you just want to put your phone photos in a normal visible folder on the desktop, luckily when you plug in the iPhone a Mac sees it like a camera or card reader. This means the iPhone will show up in common applications that have an import-from-camera feature. I've copied photos off my iPhone using Apple Image Capture, PhoneView, and Adobe Lightroom, for example.

Merge to HDR Pro from Lightroom

I am having trouble with Merge to HDR Pro from Lightroom to Photoshop CC. I can no longer get the exterior scenery to show clearly in the finished picture that I am adjusting in Lightroom. I cannot get the highlights adjusted low enough. Should I not let Photoshop autotone the image before I save it?

Okay, solved my own problem. I bit the bullet and did do a reinstall. I'd remembered that one of the previous Photoshop upgrades had failed (either 12.0.1 or 12.0.2) and I'd never gotten around to fixing it. Looking into that suggested reinstalling as the solution so I figured I should try uninstalling and reinstalling then apply all the upgrades and then try it again.
This time the upgrades did go through properly and I was just able to do a merge to HDR pro successfully so it looks like that's fixed the issue.

Why can't I print hdr pictures in LR 5?

Is there some reason I can't print HDR pictures in LR 5?

What file format are you coming back in to Lightroom with? I've been doing a lot with Photomatix recently and I've been able to print just fine with a TIF coming back in.
A few things maybe to try...
1. Is the HDR image "there"? That is, if you exported out of Photomatix and back in to Lightroom and it's in the catalog, but then you (or Photomatix) deleted the actual file, it would show up as a preview, still, but it would say that the original is missing or maybe you only have a smart preview or something. If Lightroom can't find the original image, then I don't think Print or Export or any of the other stuff that requires the original will work.
2. Try the different file formats (TIF of PSD).
3. What color space and export settings are you using going to Photomatix? I make sure to set mine to ProPhoto with 16 bit and TIFF with 300 PPI. I am using the Photomatix plug in to export, too. It might be possible that either the way you sent things in to or are getting things out of Photomatix that for some reason there is a setting that is making the resulting file not play nice with Lightroom.

Importing a picture with lightroom instructions

I use a desk top as my main computer and a lap top for downloading from my camera in the field. I import the pictures on my laptop into Lightroom running on my laptop. I would like to work on those pictures in the field and then import those pictures with new lightroom instructions into my main computer. How do I get the new lightroom instructions into my main computer catalog?
I shoot NEF files with a NIKON. Thanks.

It means that you will have another catalog named whatever you name it that will contain additional copies of your images with all of the Lightroom settings.
It is possible to have numerous catalogs. You can create a separate catalog for each project, each month, or whatever. After you have imported a catalog, or have created an additional catalog, you can go to the file menu and open any catalog that you want.

Ok...when I am saying your fourth tab I am referring to the tabs that show when you click on your iPod name is the left panel in iTunes...you will see the summary page in the larger screen to the right. IT is the 4th tab within that summary screen. The list for the kind of iPod you have can be found by going to Ipod Family.

How can I process pics in Lightroom that have uploaded from my IPad?

How can I process pics in Lightroom that I have uploaded from my IPad? I have managed to copy pics from the IPad into a file located in My Lightroom Pictures (and located on an external Hard Drive), which is where I put all my pictures. I an see the file in Finder and can even work with them as a Project in IPhoto, but nothing happens in Lightroom.

Hi johnhb2,
To import photos from your iPad into your Windows computer, I would suggest that you use the steps in this article -
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Note that by default the pictures are placed in the “My Pictures” folder. Once imported you can see your photos there and use whatever application you want to view or manage them.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
