Identity Plate setup problem

Adobe Lightroom 2.2, MacPro 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM, Mac OS 10.5.4
I went to change my identity plate, and selected "Use a styled text identity plate". As soon as I did, the "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2" default plate went away, but no matter what I typed, it would not show up as the identity plate. If I uncheck "Enable Identity Plate", the default Adobe plate shows up. If I change the font for the module picker buttons, that works fine.
I've tried the following:
* Changing the font, font color and font size. No change
* Restarting Lightroom (numerous times)
* Saving the identity plate as a preset, and then changing to/from it
* Hiding/restoring the identity plate/picker button region
The result is just solid black in the upper left hand corner of the window
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately, that wasn't the problem... I had the ID plate text highlighted as you described.
Since I first posted I also tried:
* Repairing permissions
* Clearing user and system caches (with OnyX)
* Checking preference file integrity with Preferential Treatment
I also tried searching for where Lightroom stores the Identity Plate info, but couldn't find it.
Of course, this all works just fine on my Mac Pro.
The next things it occurs to me to try is checking for damaged fonts (though I've tried using several, sometimes it just takes one), and reinstalling a fresh copy of Lightroom.
Thanks for your suggestion!

  • Bug: identity plate setup

    This is just a small bug but annoying to me because of the font I use in the identity plate.
    When setting the Identity plate, the program ignores the style drop down  (centre one ) for the module picker buttons.
    It simply uses the first default style.
    The specific font I use is P22 DaVinci, and the default style is "backwards" which makes the font very difficult to read. It works fine in the identity plate itself, but not in the module picker selection.
    I have tried other fonts, including system supplied fonts and the problem is consistent.

    I tried drag and drop before.
    In trying again, made the image smaller then the max high and it works now. (note: it's been awhile since I tried this, so the machine has had several updates to the OS and several reboots, so there is a possibility of something else, like a bad driver, getting fixed that resolved this issue)

  • Cannot remove identity plate and other problems

    Hi- so I think I may have majorly screwed up. I am relatively new to lightroom, and here's what I did.
    I was just putting the finishing touches on a few of my photos to get them to the client today, and my computer started acting funny and wouldn't let me use the keyboard and would only open limited things. Desperate not to lose all the work I had done, I clicked on "export pdf" and saved the images to my hard drive.
    After rebooting my computer, all of my images were missing from lightroom, and when I googled how to fix this, the solution I found was to synchronize the lightroom catalog with the folder on my hard drive. Now, some of the images have what looks like a permanent identity plate, and the other images are still missing.
    Can anyone help me with where to go from here?
    Thanks so much
    Chiara

    Oh, I'm using lightroom 3

  • Can't Change Identity Plate - Help

    I can't seem to change my Main screen Identity plate,
    Have tried to follow tutorials, walkthroughs etc. still no luck..
    The problem that I seem to have is that when I enter the ID Plate setup screen and click on (Enable Identity Plate) button and then next locate the image that i want (50 Pixels high, PNG.File)
    It does show in the preview screen, HOWEVER I cannot see it displayed in the backgorund on the main screen???? I then save the template and click OK and nothing, no ID plate???
    Any help would be appreciated,

    I am basically having the same problem with a text ID Plate. I can create a text ID Plate, and save it with a unique name, and it will show like it is supposed to, untill I close LR. When I reopen LR, it reverts back to the default ID Plate. I then have to go back to the Edit ID Plate, select the one I created, and click on enable, and then it will display. I have to do this every time I start LR, and it's annoying! How do I get LR to start with my ID Plate?

  • How to Position Identity Plate Overlay in Print Module?

    When I print portraits, I want to include my name and date overlaying the portrait in the lower right hand corner. Currently I have to open the file in Photoshop and add this to the portrait. I saved the text information (name and date) in a transparent tiff and imported the into LR's print module identity plate. The problem is that the graphic is displayed in the middle of the portrait. Is there some way that the identity plate overlay can be positioned exactly where I want it (the lower right hand corner)?
    I recently did a portrait sitting for a large family reunion that involves seven different family portraits being printed in 4 different sizes. If I could position the identity plate exactly where I want, this would save me a lot of time instead of having to add this in PS.

    Hopefully this will be improved drastically in the final release of version 2. In an earlier thread, I asked about printing that used to work in Lr 1.2 and stopped working in Lr 1.3. An Adobe engineer replied it was a known bug. I am also a pro photographer and love Lightroom. jc

  • Lightroom crashes every time I try to change the font color of my identity plate

    I use the LRB portfolio plugin to create my website. Every time I try to change the color of my identity plate, lightroom crashes immediately. I can change the font and size without the problem, only a color change causes the crash. I tried to trash the plugin, but it still behaved the same way. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Hi Sean,
    thanks for answering. No, it crashes anyway. I tried changing the identity plate color in all different modules. I was able to change it once when I had just bought a new computer and installed Lightroom, but now I can't. I wonder if there are any cache files or anything causing this. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this to fix it myself. I wondered whether LRB is causing a problem simply by having it installed, but as I said, after I removed it from the Web Galleries folder, the problem still occurred. Is there any way to recreate the identity plate in Photoshop (same font and size etc.) and reimport it into Lightroom? I need to finish my website and my name is sol light, it is barely legible. Any fix or workaround would be appreciated.

  • Buttons missing in HDR Pro & Lightroom Identity Plate Anomoly

    Hello,
    This is intended as a bug report, but if there is anyone with info on how to fix this, I would appreciate a reply.
    I am using Photoshop CS5 12.01 and Lightroom 3.0 in a Macbook Pro 15.4".
    First, When using HDR Pro, the OK/Cancel buttons are missing from the dialog.  I have tried
    a possible fix listed online (to rename the preferences file and then lanch Photoshop again) but this
    does not work.  The only way I can see the buttons is to keep my dock on the left side of the screen
    which I do not want to do.  I understand I can simply press the "Enter" button to apply the settings and
    exit the dialog, but this is not a fix to the problem.  The software should be fixed.
    Second, when I have Lightroom and PS both open, and I switch between the applications, I notice that sometimes
    my custom Identity Plate (a png logo) remains at the top of the screen and overlaps the PS application
    window/menu bar area.  This is a very annoying problem.  It's as if the applications are not properly refreshing the
    screen or something.
    PLEASE FIX these bugs.
    Thank you,
    Rico.

    Here is the official KnowledgeBase document for the issue.
    Feedback on this workaround is appreciated.

  • Moving Identity Plate with Arrow Keys

    I have always been able to move my identity plate around using the arrow keys. For some reason, it doesn't work any more. I am using Lightroom 2.3. I know that this is a small problem, but I sure would like to know how to remedy this. Thanks!

    Hi Ken,
    This is how I have done it.
    1. Create identity plate in Illustrator and save as an Illustrator file = .ai
    2. Go to Overlays in Lightroom and check Identity Plate
    3. Within the Identity Plate checkered box, you will see a pull-down menu on the bottom right
    4. Select Edit
    5. Select the radio button: "Use a graphical Identity Plate"
    6. Locate the ai file and select Choose (You might not see anything in the window, but don't worry about that
    7. Select Custom
    8. Choose Save As and give it a name
    9. Select OK
    Now, when you go into that checkered box within the Identity Plate window, you will now see your new Identity Plate (ai graphic) listed. Select it, and it will be displayed on your photograph. Sometimes, I have to select it twice (not sure why) for the resolution to be high quality. Good luck and let me know how it works out.

  • Identity Plate TOO SMALL in Lightroom Flash Galleries

    In Lightroom Flash Galleries, the size of the Identity Plate is very limited, much smaller than that possible with the HTML Galleries.I've tried reconfiguring the layout,using a different template, using an image for the ID Plate, but the problem persists.
    It's a big problem because the Flash Galleries are pretty much useless as is.

    Thanks Sean
    Kind of harsh I guess. The Flash Galleries are great except my logo (a simple line of text) can only appear as small type (14pt I'd guess), and only justified to the left. This is visually unacceptable for a site that clients, etc. will go to. So I can't use it for what I need. I guess some might be able to use it, but for what I need to do it is effectively useless. Which is too bad because I like the rest of the Lightroom Web experience a lot.

  • Identity-plate in LR 5.4

    I just installed the new version LR 5.4 but I can't change the identity plate.
    It's not a major problem, but it annoyes me because it's always the first thing I do...
    Anyone know what to do?

    You can't change the "Lightroom" identity plate, you have to use the drop down list to choose "Personalized"

  • Bug: Identity plate not added to printed output (or file)

    I recently conducted an offsite photoshoot that required proofs to be printed with contact and ordering information, etc. I set up a series of custom 2-up print templates, with the email address as a watermark over each photo, and an 4x6 PNG background image with the contact/ordering information as an identity plate (set to "Render behind image"). This works beautifully in most circumstances, however, about 20% of the time, the proofs are printed without the watermark. This is quite frustrating because it wastes ink, paper, and more importantly, time.
    I tried every combination of settings, formats, preset options, etc., and I cannot find any one particular reason for this error; and it seems to happen completely at random. In fact, if a proof prints with a missing background and I press the Print button again, it will print properly the second time (most of the time!).
    I have even tried Print to File, but this method also suffers from the same problem -- although it seems to happen less frequenly. At least with this method, I can see if the background is missing before printing.
    Note: This bug exists in both the latest release version, as well as the initial LR4 beta.

  • Identity-plate in print-tab is not visible

    In the print-tab (lightroom 5, mac) I can choose to print an identity plate. Used to work well, but now it doens't show (I checked the box). How can I fixe this?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Om Prakasah,
    If I understanding correctly, you created a ReportViewer report, but you can’t see print icon when you run the report in browser. If so, please follow these steps:
    If you can’t see the print icon either when running the report in visual studio, you may have set ShowPrintButton to False in Properties window, then please set it to True.
    If there is print icon in visual studio but not in browser, please update the .NET Framework on your web server to the latest version, because the print icon is by default hidden in some version of browser. For more information, you can refer to the relevant
    link below:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/selvar/archive/2013/12/20/reportviewer-2012-control-not-showing-print-icon-when-viewed-from-ie-11-desktop-mode.aspx
    If the problem is not resolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed description of your problem, it’s better to provide the version of ReportViewer and browser, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
    Thanks,

  • I need to upgrade my 10.5.1 os on my G4/1.25 (I'm having some audio-midi setup problems), but it's a machine that is not connected to the internet.  Do I have any options?  Thanks!

    Friends,
    I'm having some audio-midi setup problems on my G4/1.25/10.5.1 machine.  I'm thinking that a routine OS upgrade might help.  However, this machine is not connected to the internet.  Are there any alternate methods for upgrading system software?  Thanks in advance!

    OK, what you should do is download the updates on another machine and burn them to a disc.  Start at this link http://support.apple.com/downloads/#leopard for downloads and find, among other things, the 10.5.8 combo updater that works on PPC machines, plus security, QuickTime and other updates.  Going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8, there will probably be a bunch of things that you should install.  Being off the internet with the machine, you can't have Software Update sort it out, so something might get missed, unfortunately.
    My suggestion is this: if it looks like you might need a download, get it onto that disc.

    setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

    Hi marsano,
    Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
    * Right-click the icon and choose ''Run as Administrator''
    If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
    # Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ Mozilla download page] and save the file to the desktop.
    # [[Uninstalling Firefox|Uninstall]] your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
    # Run installer
    Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
    Hopefully this helps!
