Improve auto-import for tethered capture...

Simply add an option to have new images automatically inherit the develop settings of the previous image (all settings including crop).
Currently, when shooting tethered, I capture and adjust an image - but before I can go back to camera I need to create a new develop preset and point to it in auto-import settings (simply re-saviing the current preset doesn't work). However, this doesn't consistently hold the crop -- and so much commercial work is shot to a specific layout or proportion. Instead, I rely on the previous and/or sync function. Ideally, there would be a way to know that the new images would easily auto import with the same look as previous photos.
Thanks,
Andy

This would be more readily solved by adding crop to develop presets, which is useful for other purposes also.

  • I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

  • LR5 still uses cable for tethered capture

    No Wifi support for tethered capture even though Mac can see the NIKON camera as  wireless network and this technology is common with other camera makes and software - Go Pro for example.
    No support for Live view  with the USB cable in ( sofortbild offers thsi feature)

  • LR 4 won't connect to Canon 1D x for tethered capture

    It looks as though LR4 won't recognize the new Canon 1D x for tethered shooting. does anyone know of a work around for this? does anyone know when this feature will be added to LR4?

    You can check here periodically:
    <http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html> http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom- 4.html
    Adobe doesn’t pre-announce support for things, and the standard answer is that they are still waiting for Canon to release their software-development-kit that supports the newer Canon cameras, so Adobe can use it to attach to them.  As you can see the 1Dx shows no SDK in the Drivers and Software area:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_camer as/eos_1d_x#DriversAndSoftware
    while something like the older 5D Mark II does list an SDK being available:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_camer as/eos_5d_mark_ii#DriversAndSoftware
    Canon seems to have last released an SDK in April 2011, so any cameras newer than that aren’t supported for image capture unless they are very similar to ones that are supported and might work.  The 1Dx is fairly new so wouldn’t be supported by Canon and therefore no Adobe, either, yet.
    Nikon has already released their SDK for the new Nikon D800 and Capture One supports it, already, but Adobe still doesn’t so it won’t necessarily be released immediately even when Canon does release their SDK.

  • Things I see missing since using Lightroom for tethered capture.

    I have previously been using Leaf and Capture One, now we are converting to LR b/c of its features. But there are a few small things that I noticed are missing that should be easy to fix. First the compare window. When shooting tethered in Capture One you can pick a compare variant and it stay's up on the left and all the new captures show up on the right. I have tried the survey option in LR but when you make a capture or use the crop tool you're compare view goes away. This would be very helpful in my situation because we shoot high volume and the shots need to be as simalr as possible.  Also something as simple as the grid, there are workaround but annoying ones. Please just ad a grid button,so you can turn it on and leave it on, along with movable guide lines, these are the only little features that Capture One has and LR does not.

    You should be able to see the number in your system files/foldes by navigating to:
    Mac:

    Windows

  • Is there a way to Overlay a Watermark or flyer for Tethered Capture?

    I want to setup a small light setup at a club and take photos. Is there a way in Lightroom to overlay a watermark so that it can be seen on the screen of my laptop or a tablet and embedded. So that photos can be quickly posted to Facebook.

    Yes, in principle, during export to Facebook rather than at capture.   

  • I need help setting up Lightroom 4 for tethered capture, to a Canon 5dMkIII, for a class I am teaching.

    Searching and can't find the needed plugin. Lightroom support is kinda sketchy.

    Thanks. The update helped, however it's still very buggy. Only hitting about a 20% success rate of LR loading the capture image and lots of "busy" messages in the camera. I'm doing some maintenance on the laptop, clearing some memory, etc. and hopefully that will help.

  • LR3 Tethered Capture Support for Nikon D60 and D80

    I was very excited when I heard that LR3 had finally added tethered capture. So I sat down today to cover the LR tutorial at http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom3/. As I watched, I set up my Nikon on my tripod with flash, just beaming with anticipation. I connected to my computer via the USB cable and opened tethered capture in LR3. The 'heads up display' opened as advertised, but it showed 'No Camera Detected'. So, after visiting several forums and Adobe Help, I found that my Nikon D80 was not supported for tethered capture.
    Dang!
    Does anyone know if Adobe is going to add support for the D80, as well as the D60?
    Thanks.

    Doubtless Adobe knows, but this is a user to user forum, so I wouldn't hold your breath for anything formal from Adobe here except "eventually". Maybe.

  • Lightroom 5 auto import issues with nikon d90

    Hoping someone can help answer my question - I am wondering if Lightroom 5 has any issues with the auto import or tethering feature using a Nikon d90? I was using Lightroom 2 and the auto import feature has no issues with my d90. After I installed Lightroom 5 (Cloud App) and ran it for the first time, the first thing I used was the tethering feature and it worked great for 4 shots. I turned my camera off and then back on again and LR would not recognize my camera any longer for tethering. What's strange is that it will detect it for "Importing from Device" option. So, I went to plan two which was to auto import and that wasn't working at all. I am at a loss. I have a shoot coming up this weekend and need for one of these options to work. Any help is appreciated!!!

    I use a D90, but I have never tried tethered shooting with it. Other users might have some suggestions for you, but looking at the list of supported cameras for tethered shooting the D90 is not "officially" supported in Lightroom. So you're probably on your own to find solutions. I know this isn't a lot of help.

  • Tethered Capture issue, LR 5 and Canon 7D Mk II

    When I connect the camera and start TC I get the connect message and then a no camera detected, flashing back and forth about once a second -- regularly.  LR/ACR is up to date and reads and downloads the files fine.  Same thing on 2 computers.  Wonder if I have a bad connection in the camera.  Wiggling the connector doesn't make any difference.  And it hasn't been abused.
    Anyone else seen this?

    Tethered camera support in Lightroom
    The above link will provide details of the present camera models that are supported for tethered capture.
    The Canon 7D Mk 11 is not yet supported. Canon need to provide the appropriate documentation to enable Adobe to finalize the support.

  • Lightroom auto import/tethered shooting strangeness

    Hello, I'm trying to work out a tethered shooting workflow for the 1Ds MKIII that can keep up with a fairly rapid lifestyle shooter. I'm on a Windows XP system, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 duo system with 3 GB of ram. I'm seeing this same behavior in LR 1.3 and LR 2.0 beta.
    I've followed the steps Martin Evening outlines on his blog (Canon EOS utility in conjunction with Lighroom auto import) here http://lightroom-news.com/2008/02/07/shooting-tethered-with-the-canon-eos-1ds-mkiii/ and everything is working _almost_ smoothly.
    When I fire off a single frame with the camera, it takes about 5 seconds for the Canon EOS utility to copy the file to the hard drive and for lightroom to see and move the file from the watched folder to the destination folder. This seems reasonable.
    However, when I start shooting at a normal pace (approximately 1 frame a second) it seems like Lightroom stops watching the watched folder until I stop shooting for an extended period of time.
    I would have thought Lightroom checked the folder at a standard interval, every 5 seconds or so. However, if I snap, say 40 frames at the rate of 1 a second, Lightroom doesn't realize there are new images in the watched folder until I stop shooting and let the camera's buffer empty out.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone know if there is a registry hack to force lightroom to check the watched folder more frequently? Even better would be a hook, like a command line switch, that tells LR to check the watched folder immediately. The EOS utility 'linked software' preference could be configured to call this hook, and would result in much snappier performance.
    Thanks for the help,
    Andris

    Hi Andris,
    It strikes me that you have hit the maximum buffer that the combination of the Windows OS, EOS Utility and Lightroom are capable of managing. As you will have read in the report, I was able to fine-tune the tethered import to a rate of 3 seconds per capture image. This was with an Intel iMac 2.8 GHz duo core running Windows XP with 4 GB RAM. So a little faster than your Windows machine, which would explain why my download tests were faster.
    Look at it this way. There is the usual buffer of up to 12 frames on the camera in raw mode, which when combined with the 2 seconds it takes to transfer say, 25MB data from the camera to the computer via USB 2. This means that you can shoot at a rate of 1 frame per second, but will soon hit the camera buffer first in around 20 seconds or so at that rate. it takes about a further 1 second for the files to auto import into Lightroom and as you point out, Lightroom appears to do this in bursts. How to speed that up, I don't know. What I do know is that any background activity will slow down the import. On a shoot this week I was busy building an export of high res JPEGs from the catalog as I was shooting more downloads and as one would expect, this did affect the performance.
    It would be nice if the tethered shooting could be made faster, but as far as I am aware, this combination is the fastest yet and certainly faster than downloading from a card. As for Capture One, I don't know yet if they have managed to get tethered shooting sorted out for the MkIII.

  • IPhoto had a auto import folder. does this exist in photos for mac?

    I used image capture to get the photos from my iPhone, so that iPhoto didn't open every time i plugged in. there was an auto import folder in iPhoto which i could dump my photos in, then when i did open iPhoto it would import everything in that folder. is there a folder that will import everything in that folder whenever Photos for Mac is opened?

    What does iPhoto do with photos as they are imported?
    What you tried was a very complicated and unsupported way to import from one iPhoto library to another.
    The safest way would have been either
    to use iPhoto Library Manager to export a new library from the old one
    or to export the original files using iPhoto and to import the exported files.
    But pasting the Masters folder into a temporary "Importing" folder put your photos at risk. The Importing folder is a temporary cache that will be emptied, when an Import has finished.
    It started to get very slow and sluggish, so I decided I would move the photos to a new library on the same drive.
    It would have probably sufficed to repair or to rebuild the library and safe all your edits and albums, instead of migrating the photos to a new library.
    Since you do not have a backup, and your Masters folder got erased, I recommend to stop using the drive with your library immediately and to try data recovery software, for example Disk Drill. It has a free trial mode.

  • Tethered/Auto Import

    So Lightroom 2's out, but still no tethering support. What's frustrating me is that I can live without inbuilt tether support but please give me an alternative! I can use my own program to download images on demand from my camera (http://www.mountainstorm.co.uk/photography/Software/Software.html) and an "Auto Import" folder ... but it then takes forever for Lightroom to import them. Now I know its not actually the import thats the problem but the time it takes Lightroom to detect the new image. I've tried moving rather than copying the image into the dir. I've tried using a RAM disk as the auto import folder and all to no avail. I've even written a nice applescript which calls the open action the uses the UI scripting to click the dialog, change back to "All Photographs" and into develop, this is FAR quicker than auto import but the UI flickers all over the place as dialogs appear and disappear.
    Please, Please, Please give me an import SDK, or at least an applescript way of importing a new photo without effecting Lightroom. All I want is a way to have Lightroom in the develop module, with "show highlight/lowlights" enabled and then prod Lightroom to add my new file and show it as the current one in develop. I can then use left/right arrows to compare this photo with others I've just taken.
    Please help .. I've just managed to write a script which adds images directly via the DB, but I can't get Lightroom to show them without a restart so I'm obviously serious about doing this.
    Arrrggghhh

    I've just done a major update to my Lightroom Tethering plugin (v3.3 beta). It now uses my StudioTether for all camera control/error reporting and progress; this should solve the whole loosing your nameplate issue, amongst many others.
    Most notably I've actually sorted out "enhanced mode", I've even changed the name as it got bad press :) its now called "custom extensions" and is off by default. I've actually got the SDK docs from Nikon now so it actually works reliably (for me at any rate). I've also added LiveView which it turns out works at around 60fps not the dodgy 10fps NikonCaturePro gives you .... although this needs some work as it can stall after a few minutes. Its currently up on my website:
    http://www.mountainstorm.co.uk
    Please have a play and report back. So you know my things to do list is:
    * fix bugs
    * fix liveview so it doesn't stall (might be a memory leak)
    * allow recording of LiveView to file :)
    * fix PPC support (I need to swap some bytes)
    * get moderns Canons working (proving difficult as I don't have one)
    If you have a problem, give me a shout and I'll see about fixing it (assuming work and the rest of my real life doesn't get too busy again).
    Oh and after seeing Michael's video I thought "what a great idea", Im working on my own one as we speak. I didn't fancy paying for a program to record my screen so I wrote one (called DesktopRecorder) its a bit bare bones but if anyones interested its on my website :)
    Good hunting

  • Fujifilm Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

    Hi!
    Today Fujifilm shared "Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®". And they shared only 1 exe file, which i can't open on my Mac=). I try open it on PC, but it can't open without HS-V5 ( i needn't it, because it work only on Windows)
    They write:
    To use "Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®" you need to purchase "Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 5".
    *For customers who don't have the HS-V5, "FUJIFILM Tether Shooting Plug-in" will be able to be purchased at Adobe Exchange site."
    So...i already purchased Adobe CC for photographers. I try find it in Adobe Exchange, but doesn't find it.
    May be somebody know anything?
    Or may be somebody knows about tethering future with fujifilm X-T1 in new Lightroom 6?

    The current situation seems to be this:
    You are licensed to use the plug-in on a Mac or a Windows PC if you have purchased and installed H5-VS software.   Since H5-VS is only a Windows product the download for the plug-in is a Windows EXE because when you run that EXE it'll check for the H5-VS software installation and if it doesn't see it, it'll stop, so to be successful in extracting the Mac plug-in you have to use a Windows PC and have purchased some Windows software.
    You can examine the contents of the LRPLUG.EXE by renaming it to something like LRPLUGIN.EXE.ZIP and opening it with 7ZIP; however, the contents aren't something where you can just extract and run w/o the license check.
    The only way forward seems to be to purchase the H5-VS software and install it on Windows and then download and run the LRPLUG.EXE on that same Windows computer to extract the plug-in installers, and then run those on the appropriate platform.
    However, the H5-VS software doesn't appear to be for sale, anywhere, although the Fuji people do seem to hint they will have a solution at some point in the near future--perhaps it is only available in Japan ATM.
    Most of this information was gleaned from the download page for the plugin, here:
    Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® (Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7-10.10) | Fujifilm Glob…
    Which is the page you get to after agreeing to the terms and conditions of downloading the plug-in from this page:
    Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® (Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7-10.10) | Fujifilm Glob…
    The bottom line is that while the tethering plug-in is for both a PC and a Mac the licensing dependency is on a Windows-only program so the plug-in installers are contained within a Windows-only program and the missing link is how to acquire the required H5-VS Windows program to satisfy the licensing requirement for the plug-in packaging utility so it'll extract the plug-in installers for each platform.
    From what the pages, say, there is also going to be a version of the plug-in available on Adobe Exchange that won't require having H5-VS already, I guess, but that is not available, yet, either, so lots of announcements, and mostly a lack of follow-through..
