Image Adjustments Not Saved with DNG?

It appears that the adjustments (i.e. all of the work you do to "develop" your pictures) are not saved with the image file. They appear to be saved in the LR Library. So if anything happens to your library, your developing work is gone. I thought my adjustments were saved with the DNG, but this does not appear to be the case.
So, to be sure that my work is saved with the image, it appears that the processed files must be saved to a different format like JPG, TIFF, or PSD. With JPG quality is lost, and your ability to edit is severely compromised. With PSD and TIFF, you have another copy of extremely large files to deal with.
Is my understanding correct?
What are your suggestions to deal with this?
Thank you.

Geoff and John,
Thank you very much.
You confirm the critical point that your work is saved in the Library, and the Library must be closely supervised and backed up.
Beside my on-site backups, I set up a Stuffit schedule to back up a daily version of my library. My current library is 57.6MB and Stuffit compresses it to 8.7MB and automatically FTPs it to my web site for archiving.
I found that my 2GB file of previews is unnecessary, since my computer creates new previews almost as quickly as it reads the preview file, at least on a folder basis. So, I removed my preview files, and I have them saved for only one day in prefrences.
For my DNGs, beside my on-site backups, I create a DNG with the RAW (NEF) file embedded and back them up on my web site. Then I create DNGs with Adobe DNG converter, without embedded RAWs (LR embeds the RAWs)to use for my working files.
One of the reasons I decided to use DNGs is to avoid having separate XMP files. However, it sounds like you can export the XMP to the DNG without creating separate XMPs. I'll look in to that. I assume that exporting the XMPs to the DNGs will allow me to open them directly in CS2 (not by exporting from LR) or other programs with my adjustments intact. This would solve the problem of losing adjustments if the Library becomes dysfunctional.
Thanks again.

Image adjustments not exported

Why are my image adjustments not exported with the images?

The adjustments included: exposure, clarity, saturation, vibrance and tone curve. I was using the export feature.

What adjustments did you make that do not appear to be exported? Can you show an example?
Also, just for grins, are you talking about using the export feature or exporting to PS for additional adjustments?
Thanks

HT2506 I'm using Preview with a MacBook Pro and MacOS 10.6.8. When adjusting sharpness in the Adjust Colour tool, images are not saved. Any hint? Thanks.

I'm using Preview with a MacBook Pro and MacOS 10.6.8. When adjusting sharpness in the Adjust Colour tool, images are not saved. Any hint? Thanks.

I too experienced the same issue. Here are my details:
Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port. What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol. At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally. Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite? I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.

Bulk save as psd file not saved with Maximize Compatibility selected in preference

I want to do a "bulk save as" for psd files that were not saved with Maximize File Compatibility selected in Preferences. I'm trying to import those files into LR5 but I get an error message. Or is there a work around for resolving this issue? I have both PS CS6 and PS CC. Also Bridge for both. I've just subscribed to LR5.

LR does not support Layers, PSD files may have layers so you may have a problem using LR to do what you want to do.
Set your Photoshop Preferences to always save with Max Compatibility.
Record a save action one step menu File>save.
Then use Adobe Bridge menu Edit>Find to find all your PSD files.
Then select all and use menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch and if your lucky and don't catch an Adobe Bug Photoshop will start and the Batch dialog will open, You can the set the Save Action Set and the Save Action all the PSD selected in the Bridge should open and saved.
I cancelled the search short here the search for all psd files could take a very long time and did not run the batch.
You will have a better chance not catching an Adobe bug if Photoshop is not up and running when you use the here. Bridge may try to start a different version of Photoshop then the one running when you use menu tools>Photoshop>Batch. Bridge CC was updated to start CC 2014 there is no bridge CC 2014.

I'm using iphone 4s, whenever i take a photo using front camera mirror view of the image is NOT saved

I'm using iphone 4s, whenever i take a photo using front camera mirror view of the image is NOT saved. i.e, left becomes right & vice versa. To elaborate if you take a photo with your left hand index finger on your left chin it shows up as though i'm holding my right hand index finger on my right chin. This was not the case initially, i suspect this happened after photoshop app. was installled. Can someone assist?

Ok!! After checking couple of my friends phone i realise this is BY design!!.. i still don't understand the logic behind this though.Nevertheless this ain't a bug!!!

hi, sometimes big images could not open with photoshop.ı can open with windows but cant open photoshop.if ı try to open i am seeing a white image.is there any answer for this problem please.

Just to assist those who might help you with this, please give the exact version of Photoshop CS6 you are running, for instance CS6 13.0.1.3.
I had already asked for that in my previous post, but I guess you didn't quite know what I was referencing when I typed "exact version".
Sorry, I cannot help you myself because I don't deal with that kind of 3D images, don't use Windows, and in all frankness I'm not quite following your last post.
Also please give the exact model of your graphics card, so they can check whether it is on the list of cards tested by Adobe.
Thank you.

When i omit the line OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(saveFile);
and write only
ImageIO.write((RenderedImage) bufferedImage, outExtension,saveFile);
//out.flush();
then saving the image even in "png" also fails.
The following is the error code:

Changes are not saved in DNG

I've been experimenting a bit with saving changes made to Canon 20D Raw files to DNG, but without success. When I open the saved DNG file with Apple's Preview, it displays the file without the changes. (I've tried "Embed original raw file," and not doing so.) This leads me to suspect that if I send the DNG file to a photo processor it will print the file without my edits. I am hoping that printing DNG files, rather than JPEG, will produce greater color and tonal fidelity. I have discovered no other reason for converting to DNG that is relevant to me. Is there a way to ensure that edits are properly saved to the saved DNG?

I've been experimenting a bit with saving changes made to Canon 20D Raw files to DNG, but without success. When I open the saved DNG file with Apple's Preview, it displays the file without the changes.
This is expected and normal. Most image previewers cannot read or understand the .xmp information created by Adobe Camera Raw.
This leads me to suspect that if I send the DNG file to a photo processor it will print the file without my edits.
If you can find a photo processor that handles DNG files, it is entirely possible that it will print the file without your edits, as you suspect. That's not because the edits aren't stored in there; that's because as far as I know, only Adobe software can read and make use of the edits from Adobe Camera Raw.
If you need your edits for some external (non-PSE, non-Adobe) application, you probably need to create a .tif or .jpg.
I am hoping that printing DNG files, rather than JPEG, will produce greater color and tonal fidelity. I have discovered no other reason for converting to DNG that is relevant to me. Is there a way to ensure that edits are properly saved to the saved DNG?
A pixel that is Red 200, Green 123, Blue 13 should print the same whether that pixel is delivered in a DNG, .tif or .jpg. Of course, if you convert a photo to .jpg, that pixel may wind up with slightly different values, but if you choose high quality .jpg, I don't think the human eye can see the difference, and if it could, I suspect the difference would not be "color and tonal fidelity"; instead the JPG would show artifacts. If you are experiencing problems with "color and tonal fidelity", this may be due to the printer, or the color profile, or a couple of other issues.
There has never been any claims that I am aware of (either here or at ElementsVillage.com) that edits are not properly saved to DNG. But the way to confirm that the edits have been properly saved it to close down PSE, and then re-open it and see if your edited photos show your edits. Similarly, your edits should also appear in other Adobe software (Lightroom, Photoshop). Under ACR preferences, there is an option to save your edits in a database or in .xmp file. Please make sure that .xmp file is selected.

Image adjustments not staying??

Hi helpers!
I have come across a strange problem in Photoshop CS4 - I am trying to increase the contrast in some greyscale line drawings, however no matter if I adjust using levels, curves, exposure - it always appears OK as I'm using the slider bars but when I click OK the image returns to it's original state.
I've tried saving as a PSD, TIFF, JPG, tried saving as CMYK., creating a new layer....
Never come across this before...any help much appreciated!
Amanda

I have been since able to change contrast but only by going into the Window/Adjustments panel which
does not require an OK click to confirm changes.
Glad the images have been fixed but still can't understand why I can't keep the changes in my usual Image/Adjustments way of doing things.

Photo adjustments not saving

When I try to adjust levels etc it is not saving my changes. When I click done, then close the event, when I come back to the event it is still the original photo. I have tried exporting, and duplicating the photo and nothing saves my adjustments. Is there something I am completely missing here?
Thanks!

Those are the options in iPhoto's preferences such as background color when viewing the thumbnails, etc. If you didn't make any changes to them before then you don't have to worry about it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Image cache not working with Firefox and apex

Hi,
I'd like to cache all my images to save page rendering time and bandwidth because my images are all static and never change.
I use the John Scott's caching technique Link: [http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2007/05/18/apex-delivering-pages-in-3-seconds-or-less/], in a few words this technique consists of adding a header line "Expires: date in the future" in the http response.
It works very well in IE, the images are cached and the same image can be accessed several times (within the same session or in different sessions) without issuing an http request to the server each time.
with Firefox it does not work, the same image is asked again and again to the server (i'm using FF 3.5 and APEX 3.2).
- Is it a date format problem? no, because when i type about:cache in FF, i can find my image in the cache with an expire date in the future.
The weird thing here is that the counter is incremented each time u request the image, so FF knows it is in the cache and even if the expire date is in the future, FF asks it again to the server.
- Is it a FF bug? If u read the http specs or if u google a little, u can come to the conclusion that FF does not follow the standards,
but... images.google.com for example manages to get its images cached with FF.
They use an http response header "cache-control: public, max-age=604800".
I tried the same and all kinds of combinations but without success.
When i compare my image with the one from google in the FF cache, they both have the same attributes.
- It's not an apex issue neither because it works with IE, most probably an incompatibility between apex and FF?
Maybe the use of cookie? or the http request (not the response) containing "cache-control: max-age=0"?
I've found so far 2 half solutions:
1) use ETag and modified date, see the Tyler Muth's note Link: [http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/image-caching-in-plsql-applications/].
with this technique FF continues to send request each time but the answer is shorter because it's just a "304 not modified" instead of "200 OK" (200 response is bigger as it contains the image).
it's better than nothing but you still have 1 request + 1 response for nothing.
Another problem is that you need SYS access to implement this, which is not possible on an hosted server. (note that for images from the file system it is already foreseen by apex 3.1, Tyler's note is for images from the db)
2) if you preload the image (using myimage=new Image();myimage.src='...';), then there is max 1 request per browser session.
There are 2 minor issues here:
- no caching across sessions
- if u don't want to preload all the images (example a page with lots of thumbnails, when user clicks it show a bigger image, in that case the thumbnails can be preloaded but overkill for the big images), then you need to load the image, wait until the image has loaded before displaying it, it does not slow down the execution, but requires some extra JS.
I'm not asking anyone to investigate it, i can live with the 2 workarounds,
but just in case someone encountered the same problem and already fixed it.
Let me know if u managed to use the John Scott's technique with Firefox. (U can use Firebug to see the http traffic)
Thx
Tim

Forms built with 9 not saving with Adobe reader X

I have many computers that are running Adobe reader X. when they are attempting to save a form that was built in Adobe 9.x, a msg dictates that they are unable to save file. How can I rectify this without downgrading my Adobe to 9 accross our system.

Downgrading to Adobe Reader 9 will not solve the problem because the issue is Reader was designed not to save completed forms.
You can use Acrobat 9 to add Extended Reader Rights to PDF forms and that enabled copy can be saved with form data by Acrobat X.
You will be restricted to 500 returned forms for each form. Above that limit you should contact Adobe about their LiveCycle server product.
