Library Module, Gridview - Thumbnail Size

Assume I'm browsing some folders in the library module, in gridview. I would like to be able to double-click the droplet on the thumbnail slider so that I could see ALL the photos in the folder/collection at the MAXIMUM size.
I find it tedious to adjust the thumbnail size so that I can see all the photos.
Of course, there would be a limit. For example, using the screen resolution that I'm using now, I can see a maximum of 55 photos in gridview. Therefore and in this instance, if I double-clocked the droplet, and there were 100 photos in the folder/collection, then the grid size would be set to the smallest amount...which in this instance, would be 55.
Hope this makes sense! :-)

Seems I solved the Problem. As suggested in this thread Lightroom 5 (5.1, 5.2 and now 5.3RC) SLOW and unresponsive on Mavericks I deleted all my develop presets and now the library module behaves completely normal. I have no idea though, why develop presets slow down the library module. Especially only when running LR on Mavericks...
No I got to find out how many presets are "tolerable".
Maybe I should also mention that most of my presets are either pretty old (older LR versions) or VSCO presets. Maybe there's a problem whith them.

LR 3.2 - Pb with the reset settings in the develop module / library module

Hi
i have a big issue with LR 3.2. In the library modul, my thumbnails didn't have anymore the small icon saying that the picture has been editing in the develop modul. When i am moving into the develop modul, the history is still here but the picture appears in the defaults setting like she has never been edited.
It is said : "reset settings"
How can i do for my pictures to became like they were ? I can't go back one picture by one picture. Did I changed something, I really don't understand and need your help.
Thanks
Nico

In the Library click View >View Options
Under the Grid View tab select Thumbnail Badges
You should then see your icons.
To Re-Set a batch of photos select the first one and reset it.
Hold down the shift key and select the last one (so that all are selected)
Then click Sync.

Error with movie thumbnails in Library module

Hello!
I have a Nikon D7000 and I'm having problems with Lightroom's Library module: the preview of the movies doesn't work, I'm getting an error. I'm attaching a screenshot. Could this be fixed before Lightroom 3.4?

Hallo Bhavya,
Please do not post like this as it is not readable . Mostly when you describe it in a simple manner you would get more response.

White thumbnails in Library module (CC 2015)

hi, with the new version of Lightroom (CC 2015) I've got a very annoying problem: some miniature in the library module is totaly white, the picture doesn't exist for LR, but the picture really exist in their original folder. someone can give me some help? Thanks
Maurizio

Someone on another thread suggested this work around.
"Instead of exporting from your "Develop" module, try exporting from the "Library" module. I just tried this and it worked with no issues."
Something to try anyways....

Slight Color and Quality Shift when viewing RAW files for first time in Library Module.

Hello,
I have been shooting RAW for a while and have notice that after I import the images and then start to view them in the Library Module I will see a slight color and quality shift - almost looks like a white balance shift but not quite.   I was thinking that perhaps there was some automatic preset being applied but I don't have any presets at all.
I am shooting with a Canon 1DX as well as 7D. I have not checked to see if I get this situation with the 7D, but I know for sure that I get it with the 1DX.
Today I was reviewing some images in Bridge and decided to open one of them in Camera RAW.   At that time I discovered that the camera's Image Style Settings were available, Faithful, Standard, Portrait, etc. I noticed that the images did not have one of the camera styles applied to them but rather the Adobe Standard Style. At that point from within RAW I selected one of the camera's styles and bingo thats the kind of shift I am seeing when I first view an image in LR4 Library.
So as far as I can tell the RAW images are getting the Adobe Standard style applied in LR.   I have no idea if this is a default behavior of if I have done something to cause it. I'm also thinking that perhaps LR does not necessarily apply the Camera's Styles automatically even though the particular style has been set in the camera -- perhaps is not imported as part of the metadata during the import and thus defaults to the Adobe Standard.
I guess what I need to know is a few things and I hope someone can educate this newbie!
1. Should I expect LR4 to apply the Style as set from the camera automatically or not at all?
2. Can I prevent LR from applying the Adobe Standard Style and apply no style?
3. Can I cause LR to apply the Style as set in the camera for the particular image to be appied automatically upon import?
Thank you for any guidenace you can offer. Of course if you need additional information or clarification please let me know.
Scott

That sort of describes it and may be exactly what is happening. I have a shoot tonight and will pay closer attention to the process and behavior when I import.
It is the full image that I see the shift on though. Its not that the thumbnail and the full size image look different. It the full size image looking one way and then shifting in front of my eyes.
What is frustrating is that I typically find that the image before the shift is better than what appears after the shift, so I find myself always chasing to get back to where it was and because its gone I'm chasing an invisible ideal, so to speak.   Ahhh...isnt that the life of a photographer though!
It seems like its the last step in the render process -- if I could just figure out what it is and stop it I could finally figure out if I really care or not. Its just so quick its tough to tell if indeed the first appearance is better.
I'll feedback some more information when I get a better handle on this.
Thanks for the reference.

Pictures not displaying in non-thumbnail sizes

One of my clients has an iMac G5 running 10.4.11 and iPhoto 5.0.4. He's got about 3200 pictures in his iPhoto library which is about 12GB in size (they are all very large pictures). He's been using iPhoto without problem for years then suddenly he noticed that some pictures do not display in a slideshow. Out of the 3200 pictures he's narrowed it down so far to a few dozen pictures throughout his library. When we view the roll or the album with the pictures listed as thumbnails, we can see the picture just fine, but when we do anything that involves viewing at non-thumbnail size, such as double clicking on it or viewing in a slideshow it displays nothing. Slideshow just shows all black and double clicking on the thumb shows white with a spinning gear that never stops spinning. I rebuilt his library and that did not fix it. I repaired permissions, trashed iPhoto preferences, deleted tmp & cache files from his computer, I even zapped the PRAM out of desperation and nothing made any difference at all. One weird thing is that when it is siting at the white screen with spinning gear, if we resize the window smaller then resize it bigger, the picture will display properly but only for that time. It still will not display in slideshows.
I tried exporting one of the troublesome pictures out of iPhoto to his desktop, delete the pic from iPhoto, then try re-importing it again. This time when we try to import it, iPhoto gives an error that the file couldn't be imported because it may be an unrecognized file type or may not contain valid data. I can open the pic on his desktop using Preview and Photoshop with no problems at all.
Why am I posting this in the iPhoto '08 forum? well I copied the file to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.6 and iPhoto '08 and it almost does the same thing. I am able to import the file into iPhoto '08 and I can see the thumbnail but when I double click it, instead of a white screen with the spinning gear, i get a black screen and nothing else. I tried the trick of resizing the window and as I'm resizing, I do see a blocky image but as soon as I stop resizing the image goes black.
I can open the file in any program on multiple computers: Photoshop, Preview, GraphicConverter, ColorSync Util, Safari, Firefox, etc. iPhoto version 5 and '08 (the only versions I have handy) refuse to work with the file. I've even edited the picture in photoshop by changing the resolution by just a few pixels and slightly tighter jpg compression but iPhoto still refuses to play nice with it.
I have exhausted all options other than reinstalling the OS, but other posts I've read similar to this say that never fixes it. I am at a loss. What is wrong with iPhoto that it refuses to play nicely with pictures that work everywhere else in the world?
I forgot to add that in Console there are several instances of iPhoto errors:
"have info and image but no ciimage" and “have info and image but no ref”

Clint:
Try opening the file in one of the other applications that can use it and save as a new file and see if that new file is compatible with iPhoto. Or you might try this Automator workflow, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, on one and see if the resulting file will work. If so you can batch change all of them. It replaces the file you run it on so be sure to run it on a copy just to be safe. You can download it from Toad's Cellar or download it immediately with this link: Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.zip.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Photos in Develop module look different when switching to library module

Hello everyone this is my first post on adobe. I ran into a problem today for the first time using lightroom 5. I recently purchased lightroom 5 about 2 weeks ago and have been in love using it. I have ran into 0 problems until today. I uploaded some new photos and was going through them under the develop module editing the photos and what not. When I am done editing I usually go to the library module and export them.
Today I tried to do that exact thing and ran into this issue: the colors in the photo are changing ever so slightly when I switch to the library module and are not exporting exactly as I edited them in the develop module.
I have tried changing the contrast/clarity to see if it would remain when switching and it does. But for some reason the yellow on the flower in the picture becomes less vibrant when seen/exported from library module. It is very frustrating because I spend alot of time editing the photo in a develop module and every transfers but the colors it seems. It becomes more dull and less vibrant.
It is not the photo itself. I think it is something wrong with my lightroom? I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same issue keeps happening.

Just to clarify. When you compare the exported image to the original inside LR do they look the same when viewed together in the Library module, and how about when both are viewed in the Develop module? Are you using a wide gamut monitor and do you also use a hardware monitor calibrator? All of these things affect how images looks in LR and some are fixable, but others are not as Web Weaver posted.
There is also another issue that can cause the Library module view and exported images to look different than they do in the Develop module:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/afm8rbh6tnc31
The solution is to view the image at 1:1 (100%) view size. You can also use more conservative Sharpening settings (i.e. lower) and more aggressive Luminance Noise Reduction settings (i.e. higher), which will significantly decrease the view difference.

Survey view in Library module is unfair

Whenever I'm using survey view in the Library module to select a few photos, and I'm having photos of both landscape and portrait orientation, either one of them is displayed considerably smaller than the other.
I think it would be nice if both orientations were displayed the same size, like in grid view, because when I select from a collection of photos, I slightly tend to favor photos that are bigger.

True.

Develop settings not showing up in library module view of image

Hi there
A quick question about an issue I have not seen before. Imported a raw image .cr2 file from a Canon S95. Opened develop module and applied clarity, vibrance and sauration adjustements. Clicked back to Library module and the adjustments have not been made. Clicked back to Develop and they are there. Have tried closing LR5 and reopening - the image adjustments are still visibile in Develop, but not in Library. Any thoughts? Is this a software issue or a hardware issue (have just upgraded from LR4). Thanks in advance.

Hi Lee - I'll keep LR running for a while to see what happens. I did notice that when I did the import of the image, the thumbnails of the images from the SD card were not immediately rendered. it was possible to see the images by clicking on each one. When I had previewed each image individually, the thumbnails were visible. I suppose its possible that my hardware is running very slowly as welll.
Thanks
Chris

Develop module & library module aren't matching

When I am editing, my photos look how I want them to in the develop module, but when I switch over to the library they look different. Some photos it doesn't apply the clarity, highlights, noise reduction, or sharpening. I haven't had this problem up until a month or two ago. It used to be the same between the two modules and I no problems editing. Now it's a pain to edit because I have to switch to the Library to see what the image is really looking like, go back to develop to try and change it, but cant end up getting it to look how I want. Images look the same zoomed in, but not in normal view. I am on Windows, Lightroom 3.6. I have tried reupdating the software, downloading an older version. also updated my video driver, and nothing helped. trying to avoid reinstalling all of lightroom because I do not want to lose any previewly modified images.
first one is the view from develop. you can tell its a lot more noisey.
second picture is from the library. it's a lot more smooth.
so basically my images aren't being shown correctly. I have looked through a lot of discussions on here and no one seems to have an answer...please help me! editing should be fun, not frustrating.

Rivosyke wrote:
Thanks for the response. This appears to be more the issue with image that is exported is using the algorithm for the library module as opposed to the changes made using the develop module. The histograms are different when switching between the two modules (Library/Develop) for the same image.
Camera: D7100
Image Type: RAW
ISO: 3200
Bingo! You're using an ISO 3200 image with fairly high sharpening settings, which is going to increase noise in the image. If you view the image at 1:1 in the Develop module the noise should very visible. The Develop module and Library module 1:1 previews should both show the noise and look very close to each other. The reason why less than 1:1 Zoom previews (i.e. Fit, Fill, 1:4) and histograms look different is explained in my reply #29 under this heading MORE THAN YOU PROBABLY NEED TO KNOW (For Techno Geeks & Nerds Only). The Export module uses the same Bicubic algorithm as the Library module, which is why the Library module's preview is more accurate than the Develop module. Virtually all image editors (not just LR) use the same Bicubic resizing algorithms and will produce the same discrepancy when compared to LR's Develop module preview.
Fortunately there is a very easy solution to this issue. Unfortunately many people prefer to complain, say it is a LR "bug," and don't listen further to suggestions on "fixing" the issue. If you fall into the latter camp don't bother reading further! Sorry if this sounds crass and cynical, but I can only provide advice. Whether you believe me and try it is your decision! It works for me using five different camera models with both raw and JPEG image files.
High ISO and/or High Sharpening Preview Discrepancy Fix
1) Set Develop module to 1:1 Zoom View.
2) a. Adjust Sharpening panel settings for desired look.
b. With noisy images it's best to keep the Detail setting no higher than 35.
c. Try using the Masking slider to reduce noise in even toned areas.
3) Increase Detail panel Color setting until the color noise is barely visible.
4) If there is still some residual color noise try increasing the Color detail setting to ~80.
4) Increase the Detail panel Luminance setting until noise is barely visible or gone.
5) If the image has lost significant sharpness try increasing the Luminance Detail setting to ~80.
6) If necessary go back to steps # 2-5 and make small adjustments to the Sharpening and NR settings.
Now compare the Develop and Library previews at Fit view or better yet at 1:8, 1:4, or 1:3. They should look very close to each other with the Develop preview very slightly sharper. Full-size and reduced size Exports should look very close to what you see in the Develop module. When Resizing images don't forget to add Export Output Sharpening. When images are Resized the Output Sharpening setting has more influence on image sharpness than the LR Develop Sharpening settings. For most images the Screen Standard setting should produce crisp images. If you want more try the High setting. I generally find the Screen Low setting produces the most natural look. YMMV dependent on lens performance, camera shake, focus issues, or simply poor lighting (cloudy, foggy, etc.).

Thumbnail Size In LR 4.2

How do I change the size of my thumbnails when working in Library mode?

You use the Thumbnail size slider at the right-hand side of the Toolbar. See attached.

Images in library module aren't as sharp compared to develop module.

For some reason images in the library module aren’t as sharp compared to the develop module. If I’m in develop images are nice and sharp but as soon as I select the library you can see the image quality drop and image becomes less blurry!
I’ve had a look on here and other people have this issue and I’ve tried the various fixes suggested with no success at all.

It sounds like the library module is using a lower quality preview. If you are using minimal or embedded previews, they could look different than what you saw in the Develop module. Do other changes you make seem to be in the preview, just lower quality? Like if you applied a heavy vingette, do you see the that in the preview? If you don't, that could mean LR isn't updating the previews it uses in the Library module and you might want to look and purging your cache. If you do, try rendering a 1:1 preview for the image and see if the preview looks better.
Another thing to check is to make sure your standard preview size is appropriate for the size of your monitor. If you've got a huge monitor but have a small preview size, you'll notice a difference.
Choose Edit > Catalog Settings (Windows) or Lightroom > Catalog Settings (Mac OS), and then select File Handling.
For Standard Preview Size, choose the amount that is closest to the longest edge of your screen resolution, but not shorter than it. For example, if your screen resolution is 1920 x 1200 pixels, choose Standard Preview Size > 2048 Pixels.
For Preview Quality, choose Low or Medium, which equates to the low- or mid-range of the quality scale for JPEG files.

Images are blurred in Library module

I am having some new issues when viewing images in the Library module. I have been using LR for quite sometime and this is the first time. I saw a thread somewhere here that maybe this might be a bug. Is that correct. Let me walk you through some of the chronological process.
1-I was viewing RAW images in the Library module and noticed the images were trying to stay in focus. Then since that time the images have been rather soft, blurred.
2-I Optimized the Catalog, and changed the "preview settings". But it didn't not make any improvement.
3- I viewed the same images using Image Browser just for a comparison, and I was amazed how sharp the images were compared to LR. Keep in mind that I have never experienced this shooting RAW. I am aware that RAW images have imbedded JPG Preview images, but this is not the case
4- I am not editing, or making any changes, so need to suggest to view the images in the Develop module. All I'm doing at this time is to select my best shots.
5- However, I noticed something interesting. The images that are displayed blurred, were shot with my G9 camera. But if I view other RAW images shots with my 40D, and even my old D60 they are not blurred at all.
I am wondering if this anomaly has any connection between the G9 and LR? I'm very frustrated since I have deleted some images based of how they were displayed,but now I'm wondering if they were good shots and they were displayed blurred.
Any suggestion

There's nothing wrong with posting a question to multiple forums. I was trying to show that at the Canon forum you stated LR was initially working properly, and sometime later the same images appeared blurry. This is an indication that something changed in your system, not an issue with LR’s capabilities:
-Corrupted LR preferences file
-LR application, corrupted
-System Virus
-Low hard drive space
-Failing hard drive
-System memory issues (insufficient memory, failing memory)
-Camera problem (not likely)
The problems logging into the Adobe LR forum is another indication that you may have one or more of the above system issues.
There is an issue concerning LR not applying sharpening and noise reduction to images in the Library module, except at very high ISO settings:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889490?tstart=120
I doubt this is the "blurring" you describe in the Library module, since your 40D and older 60D camera images are not blurred. You would also be able to see 'Sharpening' and 'Noise Reduction' applied in the Develop module at 'Fit' image view size. You stated that you see no difference.
As you can see there are numerous things that could be causing your problem. I suggest trying the suggestions I provided in my last reply as a good starting point to finding and "fixing" the source of the problem.

Rendering: Larger Preview.... Stalls in Library Module.

I am running Lightroom 2.4 on a Windows Vista system. I have found recently that when I use the library module and attempt to zoom in on a picture in that module the full size picture on screen reverts to a highly pixalated view (presumably the embeded low res jpeg from the Nikon RAW file) and I get the message "Rendering: Larger Preview..." and nothing at all happens. If I then select the develop module the picture renders correctly, if following this I select the library module again all used to be well but now I get the message "Rendering:Develop..." and again nothing happening.
Has anyone encountered this problem and discovered a solution?

John
Thanks for the input. The problem certainly happens then but I am getting
it other times as well. I found some advice on the forum about the problem
which suggests it is associated with MS Vista's complex file access
permision system. It appears you have to give all users read write and
execute permission on all your Lightroom files. I am trying that to see if
it solves the problem.
Thanks again
Dave

When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get

When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get the right profile available?

First, the required profile needs to be present. LR 5.4 supports the X-T1 in terms of understanding its Raw format, but will not come with a profile for every lens which can be mounted onto that.
A profile is made for each specific lens, as mounted on a certain camera. It can also be used with pictures taken on a different (reasonably similar) camera body than the one originally used during profiling. This is subject to the sensor format: you can employ a given lens profile made for full frame, on an image from a crop sensor behind the same lens - but not vice versa.
Next, the image type needs to correspond to the image type which has been built into the profile: Raw, or non-Raw.
Lightroom offers only profiles of the right type for the image(s) concerned. There are many more provided for correcting camera Raw, than for correcting camera JPG. That is also the case with additional profiles, e.g. those accessed via the Adobe lens profile downloader utility.
Finally, in the event that there simply is no profile out there for a given lens, it is not particularly difficult (though a little tedious) for the end user to generate one, using a further Adobe utility which is downloadable as a package, including a range of checkerboard calibration targets, each of which needs to be printed at a stated physical size.
