Issues with Exporting files using Lightroom 5

I bought Lightroom 5 for Mac a couple of months ago and have been using it without any issues, then out of the blue I ran into export problems. Sometimes the exported images wouldn’t have the sharpness adjustments, sometimes it wouldn’t have the noise adjustments, sometimes the saturation or vibrancy, and then sometimes a combination of the above. I know there’s a known issue that effects noise on export if you export on files sizes less than 1/3 of the original size, but mine have always been exported at full size with image quality 70, exporting as jpeg.
I installed the latest update and that didn’t help. I uninstalled the software and that didn’t help either. I then uninstalled everything completely (including the library) by searching both lightroom and adobe in finder > system files> are included and deleted everything I could find pertaining to adobe lightroom (I didn’t delete everything adobe as I have other adobe products). This didn’t help either. What is really bizarre is that I tried restoring my Mac back to a time when Lightroom worked fine, and this didn't solve the issue, and I've also tried wiping the hard drive and just installing lightroom and this didn't work. This really baffled me.
What I have also found with Lightroom (and I'm sure it's all somehow linked) is that if I'm working on a file, and either close LR down and re-open it, or go to another file and then back to the one I was working on, initially the image has lost it's sharpening again, but if I click on the sharpen slider (without moving it) the sharpening comes back.
So has anyone any ideas on what my issues are and how to fix them. I’ve tried the advice on here too [url]http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/manually-remove-lightroom.html[/url].
My workaround at the minute is to use full screen view when I've completed my adjustments and take a hi-res screen shot, but the problem is that the saved images are only approx 1600 x 1000 pixels, which is fine for viewing on my Macbook pro but not good if I want to zoome etc.

Sounds like you have a different problem - if it's a bug, be sure to report it:

Issues with Export/Import using Database & Shared buffer

Hi All,
I have a method that calls a program via a job and I am having issues passing data between the two.
Note that two different users process the method and program (via job) resp. This is how I am calling the second prog-
SUBMIT ZPROGRAM
             VIA JOB     l_jobname
                 NUMBER l_jobcount
                 USER    i_user
             AND RETURN.
I need to pass data from method to the second program and vice versa and then the method continues its processing with the data acquired from the second program.
I have tried using Import/Export using database and also shared buffer. What I have found is that most of the times I am able to pass data from method to program. However the job takes a couple of min to execute and I think that the data is not making back to the method in time.
I have looked at some useful forum links-
Problem with export/import in back ground
Re: EXPORT/IMPORT to MEMORY
but havent been able to find an answer yet. Any solution? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Suhas, Subhankar
I have tested the scenario without the job previously itself and it works. Thats the reason, i am trying with the job now as my requirement is that I need to change the user while executing the second report.
Here is an example of my import/export - I am passing the return value from the second report to the first.
Code in second report-
DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD VALUE 'RET1'.
INDX-AEDAT = SY-DATUM.
INDX-USERA = SY-UNAME.
EXPORT RETURN1 TO SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY.
Code in first report -
SUBMIT ZPROGRAM
                 VIA JOB     l_jobname
                     NUMBER l_jobcount
                     USER    i_user
                 AND RETURN.
Once Job close FM is executed successfully, I import the values as follows
IMPORT RETURN1 TO RETURN1 FROM SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY3.
INDXKEY is having value RET1.
However Return1 is not having any values in first report. It has some value in executed without the job
Please note that I have tried Export/import with Database too and I am getting the same results.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Regards, Liz

Adobe Media Encoder - Issue with exporting file

When I send a file to Adobe Media Encoder and I hit queue I get an error, "could not read from source file, please check if it has been moved or deleted".
The source file location that the AME is trying to use is C:\Users\User Name\AppData\local\temp\file name.prproj
Is this file location correct?
Why is not using my scratch disk file?
How do I change the file that AME is trying to use?
I have not been able to export a video since I have purchased Premiere CS4.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

If you want a quick work-around do not try exporting from Premiere, just save and exit the project after you are through editing. Open AME and under File, select Add Premiere Pro Sequence, browse for your project file and click on it once--have patience Adobe's feedback here is lousy--your sequence will finally appear in the Sequence window, click on it and then click on OK. Select your Format,.Preset and Output location. If you want to tweak your settings just click on the Settings button. Then hit Start Queue.
Do you have the project on an external removable drive?

Having Compression Issues with Exported File

I started using FCPX and became a big fan. But recently I have switched back to Premiere because of wierd audio compression that happens when exporting. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix? At first I thought maybe it was me, but I imported the exact same file into both Premiere and FCPX and then exported them both as H.264 files. And low and behold, the FCPX file's audio was compressed and sounded bad, whereas the Premiere file sounded great. I really prefere using FCPX, but I won't until I can find a fix to this. PLEASE someone help! Thank you!

Issue with Opening Files using Multiple Actions

I've noticed a strange issue when I attempt to use multiple actions in my Captivate 4 project.
I have a button that does two things: open an HTML file in another window and make another button visible. Of course, for the Open URL or File action, I'm entering the name of the HTML file and select New from the drop-down list so it opens in a new window.
Captivate doesn't seem to store that setting. When I click OK for that dialog box and then OK for the button dialog box, it reverts back to Current.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Here I am, setting the property...
...and here's me checking Captivate 4 to see if the setting "stuck" and seeing that it didn't:

Hi there
I've recently encountered that behavior myself. I found it was a lot more reliable to avoid using the Multiple Actions for the Button click. Instead, configure an Advanced Action to do the work and you should have better results.
Cheers... Rick

I've encountered this error myself upon occasion. If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.

Sharpening issues with RAW files

Hi,
I have downloaded lightroom 5 as a one month trial and have been playing with the program. I am not an experienced user and are wondering if I am doing something wrong, have wrong settings applied or if it is the known sharpening bug that messes with my photos. I know that sharpening and noise reduction includes a bug that does not let you export pictures 1/3 of original size with sharpening/noise intact. However, in my case, this also happens with RAW files. I do not crop or change size/resolution to any of the photos, but the sharpening is still not working. Photos look great in develop mode, but when I click on library mode to export them, all sharpening disappears!
Is this the same bug previously reportered "only for pictures 1/3 of original size", or do I have some strange settings applied?
I was loving lightroom 5 up until I noticed this, and now I am reluctant to buy the product...
I'd be greatful if anyone has any input on this!
Thanks in advance

I have Aperture 2.X and had zero issues with RAW files from a 7D, so I think the problem is you are on 1.X. Converting to DNG first was a good suggestion if you don't want to purchase 3.X. Yet another reason to hate proprietary raw image file formats.......

Issues with export with upgrade to 3.3

I am experiencing issues with export with 3.3
The image looks great in the Browser after editing. However when I checked the export folder I discovered corrupt files.
I only dicovered it because I tried to email one of the images.
2 out of 200 the blacks had solarized meaning all blacks went to white.
Never had this problem before in any of my Aperture Versions since day one.
The bottom line problem how can trust that the images are ok on export whitout having to look at every single export later.
This is embarissing since I had already delivered a project not knowing there were bad files.
Additionally images do not seem to be as sharp before the upgrade. I am using Nikon 300 and Nikon 7000 with San Disk Cards.
Do I have to do some camera profiling ?

Have you checked the Color Profile setting in the export preset you are using?
I found my Color Profile settings switched to different settings after the upgrade.
Try the Generic RGB profile.

A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

hi gurus,
Issue with excel file read is that we can read only one file by setting the path from ODBC Data Source Administrator-->System DNS -->Select Work book
what i want to read the dynamic path(Every time I cant go back and set the Work book to select the excel file..
So i came up with a solution to write a Vbscript that convert the excel to csv my problem got solved for dynamic paths the script is as follow:
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
FullName = objArgs(I)
FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
objExcel.application.visible=false
objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
objExcel.Application.Quit
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
set objExcelBook = Nothing
Next
Now this script convert the xls file to csv with comma seprated values
e.g in excel sheet if data is ABC XYZ PQR
csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...
can anyone tell me that what should be the correct code for pipe
so that the output is ABC|XYZ|PQR
AS WE CAN USE THE SCRIPTS IN TOOLS

I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
Hope this helps.

Hi ,
I feel you are using ASM but still check the below details:
Cause
Production and Auxiliary have same directory structure and are running on two different machines. RMAN must be told not check that the target datafiles are sharing the same names as the duplicated files being created. Otherwise, the following errors will be returned:
RMAN-05001: auxiliary filename /qmaxnt/u04/qmaxntorafiles/table/QMAXAD08_03.dbf
conflicts with a file used by the target database
RMAN-05001: auxiliary filename /qmaxnt/u04/qmaxntorafiles/table/QMAXAD08_02.dbf
Solution
To implement the solution, please use nofilenamecheck in syntax as follows:
1. Connect to Target, auxiliary, and rman catalog and
2. use script as
run{
set until time "to_date('2005/09/17 14:00:00','yyyy/mm/dd HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate auxiliary channel aux1 type 'sbt_tape';
allocate auxiliary channel aux2 type 'sbt_tape';
duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck;
Make sure to use auxiliary type of channel so RMAN restore take place at auxiliary database.
Thanks,
Rafi.

Issue with export in Excel in WAD

Hi
I have an issue with export to excel in WAD. I have a web template with two or more tabs.
On the webtemplate I have two buttons to export to excel. One to export the content from the active tab and one button to export content in all tabs.
My problem is that when I export to excel it always add the current/active content twice. I've tried with both buttons and they work as expected except that they export one table to much (the active).
can anyone help / give a clue what to look for.

Issue with Sender File FCC

Hi Experts,
I have an issue with Sender File FCC Adapter. The file being picked is of type TXT and it is tab seperated. The first line contains the field names and from next line onwards we have values for those fields.
The field names and field values are tab seperated. Even inserting a single letter in some field value manually disrupts the whole setup & alignment of the TXT file and the Sender File CC is unable to pick up the file from the shared folder. If the first file is errorenous and after that a correct TXT file is posted, it fails to pick up the correct file as it is trying to pick the errorenous file first.
The Error thrown is :
"Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to structure 'ABCD':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration / structure 'ABCD.': More elements in file csv structure than field names specified!"
I have two questions:
1. Is there a way to handle such a scenario? For e.g., the errornous TXT file gets picked but throws error in PI.
2. Is there an alternative that the sender FCC channel picks up the correct files and filter out the errorneous ones ? ?
Thanks,
Arkesh

Hi Arkesh,
I think you are passing more number of fields than expected. Please check paramters defined and send the data accordingly.
In the processing parameters tab of sender file adapter, you have an option called Archive faulty source files, below to that you would have option to enter the " Directory for Archiving files with Errors".
I hope this helps you....
Thanks,
