Lighroom 4.3 problem.

I updated my Lightroom4 to 4.3 and it keeps shutting down whenever i use the brush. Any idea what that is? or what should i do?

Hello MadManChan2000
x-rite is placing the profiles in the user folder but they are not being seen by LR... if i copy them to the ~/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/ folder (system level rather than user) they are found and available in LR. forgot to mention that my ACR and LR user preferences folders are symbiotic links to folders in my DropBox account to enable syncing between two machines, that could have something to do with them not being available when in the users folder...
I do however have it all working now through sneaky symbiotic link to system CameraProfiles folder "through" my dropbox folder...
User level CameraRaw folder is symbiotic link to DropBox CameraRaw folder
DropBox CameraRaw folder is symbiotic link to System level CameraRaw folder
x-rite places new profile into user level CameraRaw folder and it appears everywhere...
Maybe not the most elegant solution but it works... at the other end of DropBox on my laptop i do however have to do a manual sync of the two folders... i can't have it all my way i suppose

Lighroom 4 Printing Problem, tonal shift

I have had a couple of printing related problems with Lightroom 4. The output on my Epson 4880 is significantly different from what Photoshop produces and what the actual file looks like. I have a long and detailed explanation of this problem at the following link with images that illustrate the nature of the problem. If necessary, I can post the whole thing here.

I am a full member of creative cloud so all progs are the newest ones.

Hi Sami,
Is this on a Mac or Windows?
Is this Photoshop CS6, and Lightroom 4 that you're working with?
What settings do you have set in your External Editing preferences in Lightroom?
Head to Application menu > Preferences (on mac), or Edit > Preferences (on windows)
Then to the External Editing tab.
Could you take a screenshot of what you have there and attach it to the thread?
Here's a screenshot of mine:
Try seeing if yours looks something similar to mine (except the photoshop elements part ).
If the fix is not obvious from going into the preferences, you could try resetting the preferences of Lightroom, Photoshop, or both.

On a Mac, Just upgraded from Lightroom 4, to 5. Problems with Catalog transfer.

So I did the upgrade version of Lightroom 5 from 4. I did the catalog transfer to move all of my images over from lightroom 4 to 5. But now when I click on any of my old images (from a lightroom 4 catalog) in lightroom 5, I get an error message that says Lighroom has a problem reading the images. Last night I tried to export from lightroom 5 to my desktop and it did not work with the same error message coming up. Help!!! What am I (did I) doing wrong?

-Once I put the disc in I followed the procedures to upload LR5. This was successful. The first time I opened LR5 I was prompted to transfer my old LR4 catalogs to LR5 which I did.
-Now when I click on any image, once I click away, in the lower scroll bar of images an exclamation mark in a small circle. When you click on the exclamation mark this message appears "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo." This happens to every image I click on.

If updated drivers don't fix the problem, perhaps you can tell us what is the "PROBLEM WITH LIGHTROOM CC BRUSH WHEN THE GPU IS TURN ON" that you are having.

Problems tethering my Canon Mark ll in Lighroom 4.2

I have been using Lightroom for a long time and used it with my Canon 5d and it all worked just fine. Now wih my canon 5d mark ll it will not always reconize the camer and when it dose the camera shows a "Buzy". I have gotten it work but then it quits. I have restarted Lightroom, unpluged the tether cable waiting for a time and then re pluging it back in.... no luck. I though the camera was shutting down too soon when I got it going ( not offten) so I got a battery replacement ... ACK-E6 to keep the camera fired up all the time.... NO HELP. Any thoughts would be apreaciated.
OK I have always kept up tdrying every thing I could think of...... SOLVED MY PROBLEM.. I was using a USB hub...... Now pluged in the back of the computer....... all WORKS!! WOW....... I AM HAPPY.

>[sorry, I don't know how to loadup images here]
Anna, you can't upload images directly to the Adobe forum, but must upload them to your own photo sharing site and then use a HTML link to the picture or the site.
If you don't have a photo sharing site, there are several free ones, such as
eSnips, and
Pixentral
If you need help with HTML, this site has a good :

Very interesting, Jeff. I'm sure you can't provide any further information at this time, but it would wonderful if ACR offered a full fledged noise reduction program such as Bibble does by incorporating the major functionality of Noise Ninja.

Problem with "Edit in Photoshop"

Hi,
When I "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom, the photo loads correctly into Photoshop, and I can save my changes, but when I return to Lightroom, my changes are not automatically imported. I have to click "Import..." to find the changes, and manully import them.
How to I enable automatic imports of the changed made in Photoshop?
Somestimes, I get a grey thumbnail after returning from Photoshop. Clicking on the thumbnail gives the message: "Filename-Edit.tif could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Previous location: Correct path to file, except starts with "C:/", and should start with "E:/". If I locate the correct file, it is imported, but it has an exclamation point on the thumbnail. Clicking on the exclamation point produces the message: "The medata data for this photo has be changed by both Lighroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settins with those form the catalog?"
I'm using Lightroom 5.0, Camera Raw 8.1, Photoshop CS6 (Versionh 13.0.1) under 64-bit Windows 7
Thanks
Brent

Thank you for this information regarding the dialog box!
My problem is with LR 2.3 and CS4 Photoshop. When I select "edit in Photoshop CS4", Photoshop starts, but the file doesn't open.
If I select "open as smart Object" in Photoshop, the file opens.
Previously, with CS3, I had no problems opening raw files for edit!

Problem writing meta data changes in xmp in spite of enabled settings

Dear Adobe Community
After struggling with this for two full days and one night, you are my last hope before I give up and migrate to Aperture instead.
I am having problems with Lightroom 5 writing meta data changes into xmp and including development settings in JPEG, inspite of having ticked all three boxed in catalog settings.
In spite of having checked all boxes, Lightroom refused to actually perform the actions. I allowed the save action to take a lot longer than the saving indicator showed was needed, but regardless of this no edits made in the photo would be visible outside Lightroom. I also tried unticking and ticking and restarting my compute.
Therefore, I uninstalled the program and the reinstalled it again (the trial version both times). I added about 5000 images to Lightroom (i.e. referenced). After having made a couple of changes for one photo in development settings, I tried closing the program. However, then this message was then displayed:
I left the program open and running for about 5-5 hours, then tried closing the program, but the message still came up so I closed the program and restarted the computer. I tried making changes to another photo, saving and then closing and the same message comes up. The program also becomes unresponsive, and of course still no meta data has been saved to the photo, i.e. when opening it outside Lightroom, the edits of the photos is not shown.
What do do? I would greatly appreciate any insights, since I have now completely hit the wall.
Oh yes, that´s right:
What version of Lightroom? Include the minor version number (e.g., Lighroom 4 with the 4.1 update).
Lightroom 5.3
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
I installed the program two days ago and then for the second time today.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36
What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
JPEG
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
Please see screen dumps above
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Trying to save metadata + trying to open images that it seemed I had saved meta data to
Has this ever worked before?
No
What other software are you running?
For some time Chrome, Firefox, Itunes. Then I closed all other software.
Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs?
No, the problems have been there all the time.

Hi Rob
I think you succeeded in partly convincing me. : ) I think I will go for a non-destrucitve program like LR when I am back in Sweden, but will opt for a destructive one for now. Unfortuntately, I have an Olypmus- so judging from your comment NX2 might not be for me.
Hi AnnaK (see below).

My old snaps are JPEG, but I recently upgraded to an Olympus e-pl5 and will notw (edited by RC) start shooting RAW.
Note: I edited your statement: I assume you meant now instead of not.
If you start shooting raw, then you're gonna need a raw processor, regardless of what the next step in the process will be. And there are none better for this purpose than Lightroom, in my opinion. As has been said, you can export those back to Lightroom as jpeg then delete the raws, if storage is a major issue, or convert to Lossy DNG. Both of those options assume you're willing to adopt a non-destructive workflow, from there on out anyway (not an absolute requirement, but probably makes the most sense). It's generally a bad idea to edit a jpeg then resave it as a jpeg, because quality gets progressively worse every time you do that. Still, it's what I (and everybody else) did for years before Lightroom, and if you want to adopt such a workflow then yeah: you'll need a destructive editor that you like (or as I said, you can continue to use Lightroom in that fashion, by exporting new jpegs and deleting originals - really? that's how you want to go???). Reminder: NX2 works great on jpegs, and so is still very much a candidate in my mind - my biggest reservation in recommending it is uncertainty of it's future (it's kinda in limbo right now).

There is a plugin which will automatically delete originals upon export, but relying on plugins makes for additional complication too.
Which plugin is this?
Exportant (the option is invisible by default, but can be made visible by editing a text config file). To be clear: I do not recommend using Exportant for this purpose until after you've got everything else setup and functioning, and even then it would be worth reconsidering.

What I do is auto-publish to all consumption destinations after each round of edits, but that takes more space.

Via Publish Services.
PS - I also use features in 'Publish Service Assistant' and 'Change Manager' plugins (for complete automation), but most people just select publish collections and/or sets and click 'Publish' - if you only have a few collections/services it's convenient enough.

Problem importing keywords from bridge

I have a .mrw image that I use Bridge CS3 to add four keywords a,b,c,d. When I view them in Bridge it shows the four keywords checked. I looked at the XMP file with wordpad and see them there as well. When I import the xmp file under Lightroom only keywords a,b & c are shown. I looked at the .xmp file in the imported file location for light room and the d keyword is missing from it as well. I tried this using a .nef image from my nikon and it doesn't seem to have the problem
Has anyone seen this problem before? Any work around?

I've done some more investigation on the problem I've described above. In the xmp for the image I have a keyword written by bridge of "Sandy" with the upper case "S". In the lighroom keyword list I already had "sandy" with the "s" being lower case. The import of the "Sandy" keyword in the xmp file of my image failed. If I removed "sandy" or renamed it "Sandy" in the Lightroom list then "Sandy" imported fine. If I tried adding "Sandy" in addition to "sandy" in the lightroom list I got an error saying that the keyword existed and the add failed. From that test it appears that within Lightroom "Sandy" and "sandy" are the same keyword, but coming in on an import they aren't.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is it normal?

Exposure problem with Lightroom 4 CS5 and Raw 6.7

Hi all
I have recently upgraded from Lightroom 3.6 to the new Lightroom 4 and am genrally pretty happy with it, I tend to use it along with photoshop CS5 extended and also imagenomic Portraiture, but I have found an annoying little problem in doing this and something that I never suffered with when using Lightroom 3.6 and it is this...
when I take an image from Lightroom 4 and click Edit image in Photoshop CS5 and then use Imageonmic to soften skin etc all seems to work well I then carry out any touching up within Photoshop and once finished save it back to lightroom for any final tweaks etc which is fine and all works smoothly, except once I have saved it back to Lightroom the exposure has been pushed up about 3-4 stops at least , meaning I then have to pull it down again and this can sometimes result in extra editing I could do with out. now I know its not the end of the world and is probably just a bug that I'm hoping will be sorted within Lightroom 4 but I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? (although I'm doing the same with Lighroom 4 as i used to do with LIghtroom 3.6 and that worked fine)
Oh one more thing I should mention to get lightroom 4 and CS5 to work properly together I had to go into the Adobe Labs site and download the Camera RAW 6.7 software for CS5 so it could also be a bug here i guess.

There have been several posts over on the Lightroom forum, and other non-Adobe forums also, about this issue: it seems that there's a bug in ACR 6.7RC which causes the image to be over-expose, compared with the setting applied using PV2012 in LR. I guess this is the kind of thing a Release Candidate is supposed to flag up! I was all set to upgrade my own ACR to ensure that PS would recognise my LR4 edits (I normally avoid RC versions and wait for the final), but all the reports of this problem have stopped me from doing so.
In the meantime, best option so far as I'm aware is to process the image in LR (you get the option when you choose to edit in PS), meaning that it does all the rendering before passing it over to PS (otherwise, ACR handles the conversion of the raw file into TIFF). This does however mean that smart-objects and so on are temporarily out of the equation.
I'm sure this will all be resolved pretty soon.
Edit: in fact, one of the posts I mentioned is about ten posts down in this very forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/974963?tstart=0

A problem with ACR in Photoshop CS 6 (Mac).

When using "Edit in Photoshop CS6" from Lightroom 4 I just go into Photoshop CS6, not Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Cannot access ACR directly from withion Photoshop either. It works from Bridge tho'. Have checked out many forums and see other people with this problem, but main help responses, to remove com.adobe.Photoshop.plist from Library/Preferences, or reinstalling Photoshop and Lightroom, do not resolve it for me. All software, including Camera Raw (7.2.0.46) is up to date. Use 16 GB iMac and OS X 10.8.2.
Any help much appreciated.

Suspect from my readings on further forums, that the previous mode of opening in Camera Raw may have been a bug, which I had assumed to be the norm!!
Yep, sounds like there was a bug and now you're seeing correct behaviour.
Something that might be useful to you is Lr's "Edit In > Open as Smart Object in Photoshop". That'll open a document in Ps with a SO containing a duplicate of a file. Double-clicking that SO will open its contained file in Camera Raw.

Old Problem/New Problem: Lightroom can't find file, then finds, but won't edit it.

(Lightroom 2; Macintosh G5; OS X (10.4.11))
First, the old problem which, though unresolved, is here mostly for background:
A little over a month ago, I posted a question (at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/480423?tstart=0 ).
The short version of that problem is that certain previously accessible images were not able to be opened in Lighroom. The preview image appeared in the main window accompanied by this message across the top of it:
"The file named "[name of image/file]" is offline or missing."
When I right clicked on the image and selected "Show in finder" I got this message:
"The photo '[name of file]' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Below which was shown the original path to the file. In the middle of that path, one or more folders appeared with colons in their names in place of the slashes originally part of the names (some folders have dates in their names). Following the path via the Finder, the file was exactly where it was supposed to be, although, of course, slashes appeared instead of the colons that were in the Lightroom summary of the original path, but Lightroom couldn't find them.
I was convinced that Lightroom was renaming the folders (but only in its interface; the original folders had correct names in the finder -- which is the only way they could have been named, since colons are illegal characters and won't be accepted as part of a file name). But I see now that there is some weird thing going on in the Finder itself. Even though I see the correct name on a folder when I search for it, or navigate through the hierarchy, if I click on the file at the end of that hierarchy (the file that Lightroom said it couldn't find) and ask for file info (via Command - I, or other method), the path to that file shows colons where slashes should be, but only in the names of the folders that were so named in Lightroom. All other folders with slashes in their names are listed correctly. So it's a Finder problem. Though this is still a mystery, I have been able to work around the problem. But how is this happening? (Note that I will be reformulating the question and posting it on the Apple discussion groups soon; I don't expect this forum to deal with Apple system issues. Just thought that others here may have had the same problem.)
Now, the new problem, possibly related to the old one:
In the same collection where I noted the previous problem, I selected an image that I wanted to print. The preview came up with this message:
"The file could not be found."
But when I right click on the image and select "Show in finder" it opens the correct Finder window with the file in question highlighted. The file, a TIFF, opens normally in Preview or Photoshop.
So why does Lightroom think it's not there? (even though it can show me exactly where it is)
I have edited this photo in Lightroom before. I have printed it from Lightroom before (as shown in the Lightroom history). But today it can't be edited, won't print and "could not be found"!!!
I know I can print from Photoshop, or re-import this photo into Lightroom (along with any others that Lightroom "can't find"), though both would require time and re-editing the original. I would rather understand (if that's possible) why this is happening in the first place, so hopefully I can avoid such wackiness in the future.
I realize that may have to burn some sage and hire a Shaman, but any ideas that won't smoke up the house or scare the cats would be most welcome.
Thanks for reading.

If you have an old goat around that's not doing so well, consider the sacrifice.
The one thing that occurs to me besides the Gremlin, is the use of colons or slashes or some other character that the OS or LR doesn't like in some file name or other. I think you'd have to change same in Finder, then show LR where the images are.

LR 3.6 Export to Photoshop CS5 - Images have massive problems.

Windows 7 x64
Lightroom 3.6
Photoshop CS5
When I use the Export to Photoshop feature (or if I export to PSD or export to TIFF and then open in Photoshop), the images look like this:
When the original in Lighroom looks like this:
If I zoom in to 100% the weird artifacting/tearing goes away, but if I zoom out any more than 66%, it gets these weird malformations on the image. I cannot figure out why. It's not the image size since I've worked with 100+ meg PSD files in Photoshop before without this issue. If I export to JPG from LR and then open in Photoshop, it's fine. It just happens with TIFF or PSD. Driving me nuts.
Anybody have any idea why?
Thank you all so much.

That's a typical video card driver problem affecting Photoshop. Update the driver from the manufacturer's site (NVidia or ATI).

Problem importing pictures into lightroom 5.4 on a Mac.

I have lighroom 5.4 on a Mac and I am having some trouble importing pictures into my library on lightroom. The other day I was trying to import some from another folder in my computer and the files were showing up empty (although they were not). And today I was trying to import from an SD card and I was having the same problem. I shoot in raw on a Nikon. So what can I do to fix this problem?
This is what it looks like when I try to import

Ask in the LR forum and provide exact technical info - "I shot raw on Nikon" and "on a Mac" is not.

Problem importing images into Lightroom 5.6

I use an iMac 10.9.5. I've been importing CR2 files converting to DNG into Lightroom 5.6 with no problems.
Suddenly, files are taking an age to import and Lightroom hangs without loading all the files. I have to force quit Lightroom and then my computer hangs and won't shut down. I close by holding the button down on the back of the iMac. Then Lightroom fails to open. After many attempts I've managed to start Lighroom again but I still have the same problem loading the files. I have tried deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder, as suggested on this forum but that hasn't cured the problem. I don't know whether this has caused a problem but I used a Transcend multi card reader for the first time this week instead of my usual reader. Perhaps there was some kind of issue with compatibility although there shouldn't have been. Now though, I can't upload from my old card reader properly either.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply dj..paige. It could have been the new card reader that caused the initial problem but I used more than one card so I don't think the card is the problem. The original reader wouldn't work either.
Update: Lightroom now seems to be back to normal. I don't know why but it seems to have sorted itself out. Perhaps deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder had an effect after all, after a few attempts at opening and closing Lightroom.
I'm sending the Transcend multi card reader back for a refund as I'm sure this started the problem.
I've wasted two days sorting this - nightmare!
