Lightroom 2.6 Keyword issues

Hello everybody,
I've got a big problem within lightroom (2.6).
In my keyword list, when i select a keyword (to see the photos with that keyword) all my photos in the catalog pops up.
For example there is a keyword with 4 photos in it. When i click it all my photos in the catalog pop up.
Then the catalog automaticly selects a random photo. The catalog was originally made in lightroom 1.1
To show what i'm talking about here a screenshot:
As you can see i selected the word Beechcraft, with 1 photo in it. As a result it shows my entire catalog.
I'm using Windows 7 (64-Bit). All together i think it's pretty odd since lightroom 1.1 did not have this problem. (unfortunatly 1.1 jams after being used for a while (even with compatible mode on XP SP2 and with run as admin enabled)
Anybody has this problem as well? And does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks in Advance,
Stefan

Thank you for your fast reply!
I'm aware of clicking on the arrow to show the pictures with that keyword.
With some it only shows the photos with that keyword, with other keywords (like on the screenshot) it shows the entire catalog.
Anybody who can help me?

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.

Lightroom 4.4 video issues, I think it may be a windows 8 issue.

I am not sure when this started happening or what has changed. I went to import some video and in the import dialog box all my video files show "Preview unavailable for this file" in the thumbnail in the grid view. And if I try to import them i get a dialog box with a message that says Import Results > Some import operations were not performed. > There is a problem with the video file (1) > [Filename].AVI
I am currently using windows 8 and I have imported video to this catalog before from the same camera. The video plays fine in the video players(windows media player, quicktime, and the new video app on windows 8 that is the default player in the OS).
I went throught the http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroo m-4.html and did all those suggestions. I am now turning to the forums before I reach out to support.
Has anyone else run into this issue or a simililar one that may be able to give me a workaround or solution?
I am a cloud subscriber and all my programs are up to date. Windows is current, all players are current, and this specific catalog has .AVI files in it from the same camera and the firmware on the camera has never been updated since I started shooting video.
Thanks,
Alex

I had the same problem -- also on Windows 8. I was trying to import .MOV files from an Olympus OM-D E-M5 into Lightroom and got the error you mentioned.
I believe it was a problem with my QuickTime installation. I was using an unofficial distribution of QuickTime called "QT Lite", and apparently it doesn't play well with Lightroom. Uninstalled that, installed the latest QuickTime and video imports started to work.
Unfortunately I then ran into this other problem, which sometimes causes video editing to fail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/972420

Lightroom mobile trial expired issue

I have CC Master and in my installation of Lightroom, it only tells "Lightroom Mobile Trial Expired". Same in iPad. "Your trial period has ended"
I installed it way back almost right away, when it was announced. I also posted a note on a forum about this, and the guy said this would be fixed well before trial was over.
I mean: come on! Someone already said that this is a thing Adobe is working on and that it should be resolved well before trial period is over. Well it is not!
Could you please fix this. I am fed up with all the crap I have been having with CC subscription. Not the first time I have had issues with it. Once I spent two hours with chat tech support trying to fix something that should have been just working.
Crappy, crappy, crappy work, Adobe. I am losing my faith here, and I am not alone.

Hello keith.
That is not true Keith. If it is like you say I could not have the trial version and I had it during a month without any problem!
Saludos, de margaret y un buen día.

Margaret, Mobile is only available to CC subscribers because it needs the cloud as the mechanism for syncing between Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile.
Maybe they could say it more explicitly, but the necessity of CC membership is pretty clearly implied (several times) by this page:

Lightroom Keyword Issue

Greetings. I'm running the 64-bit version of LR3.3 on Windows 7, but I've had this issue since before the upgrade. I have a long list of keywords. I'm finding that if I expand my keyword list keywords near the bottom third are not selectable, even though it shows how many photos are tagged with them. If I open up a metadata filter and scroll to the bottom of my keyword column I get the same results. However, if I do a find and specify a keyword that way it will bring the photos up. I haven't found anything in the forums regarding this problem. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.

It's a problem with how the list was coded in Lightroom which involved a failure to code around a limitation on the Windows platform. Lists of keywords longer than around 1600 items are truncated. I don't think you'll see a quick fix for it, but I hope it will happen in LR4.
As a workaround, put your keywords into a simple hierarchy.

Keywording Issue in Lightroom5

Ran across an issue with keywords in Lightroom 5 and wondered if anyone had some advise. When I export an image with existing keywords they showup in the file properties when I open the new image in Windows Explorer. When I re-import that new file back into Lightroom I find that none of the original keywords are visible. This had not been an issue in previous versions of Lightroom - wondering whats going on here.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Kevin

The most likely cause is that you are using a metadata preset that is inadvertantly deleting the keywords.
Let us know if we are barking up the wrong tree.

Aperture keywords issues

Is it just me or are there major issues with searching by keyword?
I've just given three pictures the same keyword and when I use the filter with 'Library' selected only one of them is found. The un-found picture is in an iPhoto library - do keywords not work on managed files? if not what is the point of inputting the keywords?
A second point - how hard is it to go from aperture to lightroom? Will lightroom import the projects along with their keywords from aperture.

Lightroom will not import whole projects and you will lose all your adjustments. I believe that if you export your images with xmp files, that those file will contain the keywords, and Lightroom will bring them in. Do a test. Don't be in a big hurry blow out your Aperture libraries. Lightroom is very different from aperture, and it took me several months to figure out that I was fighting it's workflow, and it was actually costing me significant amounts of time. YMMV.

Lightroom 4.2 Installation Issue

Leaving this around in case anyone else has the same problem -- Solution found -- Windows installer issues / registry issues -- used the Microsoft Fix it tool (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso3) to correct. 4.2 install ran fine.
I've read through the posts in the Lightroom forum regarding LR 4.2 install issues. I will list here the things I've done to try to get the install to work:
1) Downloaded the installation software twice.
2) Ran the setup program in admin user mode.
3) Ran the install in admin user mode.
4) Get the following error in a Windows Installer window:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi' in the box below.
Use source:
c:\Users\RMJF\AppData\Local\Temp\{...}
What I have found (after displaying hidden AppData folder):
The location where the .msi file resides is different from the one defaulting in the above window.
I select this alternate path, but still cannot complete the installation.
Furthermore, when I cancel the install, I get this error:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.2 64-bit Installer Info
Error 1714. The older version of Adobe Photoshop Lightoom 4.2 64-bit cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group
I have been running LR since the beginning of time and most recently LR 4.1, so there is no 4.2 installed.
Also, I tried to fix the install of 4.1 via the programs in Control Panel. I cannot repair it and get this error:
The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.
All versions (except the 1.0 version) were downloaded and installed from the Adobe LR site.
So, looking for suggestions.
Seems like there are some missing files from the 4.1 version that are hindering the install of 4.2???
All quite frustrating. Hope you can get me to a speedy solution.
(System info: Windows Vista 64-bit Home, SP 2, 20 GB of disk space to spare! Also, I have set the install program to be allowed by the anti-virus program. I have run a registry clean-up, as well. No other apps are running during the install.)

Lightroom 4.1 Keywording

I've just noticed that all of my imported images in Lightroom 4 have been tagged with the words 'Aircraft' and 'Transport'.
When I type either of these into the Lightroom search box it brings up hundreds of images none of which display either of the keywords mentioned.
When I view these images in the Windows 7 Explorer it shows (under the Tags heading) the tags for both Aircraft and Transport.
So these tags have been added by some means I'm not sure about (as I didn't do it) and Lightroom doesn't show the tags within the Keywording box but Windows Explorer does show them!
I'm really confused now.
Is there a way for me to view the tags (Aircraft and Transport) within Lightroom so I can remove them from the images that shouldn't have them attached?
And how do you think these tags are being applied when I didn't apply them to the offending images?
All the images in question were imported into Lightroom directly from my camera memory cards without keywords (tags) being applied; I only do this after the importation.
Any ideas... ?
====================
PS.
If I click in the search box for keywords under the Keyword List for Aircraft I get only those images that I genuinly tagged as Aircraft.
Under the Keywording section if I click on 'Will Export' or 'Keyword and Containing Keywords' the images that have been tagged (and show up in Explorer as such) show the keywords Aircraft and Transport but It doesn't allow me to remove any of the keywords.

I've just found out what I think the problem might have been.
I have a Keyword for Transport and under that various other sub-headings.
Under the Keyword for Transport was a whole list of keywords which I didn't place there.
I can only assume that when upgrading from LR3 to LR4 something happened to my keywords, a bug (or something).
I was able to remove the incorrect keywords from under 'Transport' and now everything is back to the way it shold be.

Adobe Bridge Keyword issue

I am using Photoshop CS4 along with the Adobe Bridge that downloaded with it. I installed the software on an iMac with Snow Leopard as the OS. Using the Bridge, I assigned keywords to about a thousand images in numerous folders. I used the Bridge with these keywords to search for my images and it worked just fine. Then I upgraded the OS to Lion and immediately had a significant issue with searching in Bridge. Each time I identified a keyword to search (in the Edit-Find menu), the results came back "no files found". It was by accident that I discovered that, in order for the Bridge to recognize they keywords, I had to double click and open the folder first in Bridge. Once the folder had been opend and then closed, the keywords were activated. Needless to say opening each and every folder containing images has been very time consuming.
I am considering purchasing a new iMac this summer. It will probably have the new Mountain Lion OS in it and I will purchase CS6 to install in it. I am concerned that when I transfer all of my images into the new computer, I am going to have the same Bridge issue, and will have to go through this entire "open & close each folder in Bridge" exercise again in order to search by their keywords.
Has anyone had this issue to deal with? If so, I sure would like to know how you dealt with it.

I have exported my keyword list and saved it to my desktop.
If that was the list of your old system you only have to use the option import keywords from the same menu used to export the list. This will add all your keywords from the old list to your new list. If you use clear and import the old ones will be replaced by the list of the imported keyword list (so if you are not sure also make a back up of the existing list before using 'clear and import'
I also did a search of my entire computer and that file name does not show up.
You probably use Spotlight for this and spotlight is not very good in finding files hidden in the library, try the free 'Easy Find'
I use CS4 and the file in the path you provided is: Bridge CS4 Extensions. However, there does not appear to be a Keyword file in that folder.
You are in the wrong library, the extensions are sited in the library on root level (the computer) and you have to be in the library in your user account.
I overlooked the fact that you are on Lion and that has the user library hidden by default. Do a Google search to retrieve the user library, there are easy temporarily ways and a bit more difficult to make it visible permanent
Once I go through an entire search with "include non-indexed files" checked, have all of the folders/files that have been searched through now been indexed? And does that mean that whenever I perform a search again, I no longer have to have that box checked?
If you go to the Find menu and in the source field select your parent folder that contains all your subfolders the search will go through your entire image content.
You only have to check non indexed files once but after the first search (takes long to index) the option is not taking that much time again so no objection to leave it on.

Adobe Lightroom 2.7 exporting issue (says it is exporting at 300dpi but exports at 72dpi)

Hi,
I have lightroom 2.7.
I am a photographer that depends on lightroom. I do a lot of printing from images I export direct form it.
I am trying to export images at 300dpi. I am selecting 300dpi in the export box under image sizing. I use mogrify plugin also if that means anything to anyone.
However when I open up these images in photoshop and go to image size it says they are all 72dpi. My printers have also complained that this has happend as well as my wedding supplier. They all say my images are 72dpi.
I have read all the forum responses like getting rid of the minimise embedded metadata check in the box etc and nothing is working.
I am working hundreds of images at a time and therefore can't afford the time to set up an action in photoshop to resize every single image and sit there an hit the play button.
Does anyone have a simple answer to this issue that has proven to have solved the problem or any other non time consuming work around. Or even a support number for adobe I can call.
It is causing me a huge amount of time loss and stress.
Would be awesome if someone had an answer floating out there.

Bella,
I don't think you've understood my post above. When you export from Lightroom you create JPEG file, a JPEG file does NOT have a DPI measure. You cannot export a file at a certain DPI.
The reason is DPI or Dots Per Inch is a measure of length, inches. A file does not have a length, or a width for that matter. The only meaningful measure for a JPEG file in this context is 'Image Size'. Image size is expressed as pixels wide X pixels high, in the case of your Canon 5616x3744.
Exporting from LR, if you opt to 'Burn Full-Sized JPEG' at 100% then you will get a file of image size 5616x3744. Printed at 300dpi you'll get a print 18.7 inches wide.
If you want a print bigger than that then you have to create more pixels. Software does this by 'making up' new pixels based on the pixels that are already there. Exporting from LR and adjusting the Image Sizing will do it. You can do it from Photoshop. For optimum quality it's best done with some knowledge of the final print size, and print device.
From the sound of things if you supply both parties will full sized JPEG's then you are giving them as much as you can without getting into the murky world of upsizing. The metatdata tag that gives a DPI measure in the file is meaningless, don't let it fool you or the printers.
Hover your mouse over the file (in PC, not suer about Mac) and Windows will show you the image size.
Hope this helps.

Lightroom 1.1 Slideshow Issues

Hello,
When I click the "play" arrow, or "Impromptu" key from the top tool bar, or "Play All" icon from the right hand of the screen, or any other attempt to get my slideshow to play, all I get is a black screen. I hit "escape", and it immediately goes back to the slideshow I created. If I click the "play" arrow in center screen, it is black inside the center, but I can see that the slideshow is actually "playing" because I see the number of the slide is changing, and at the correct rate (2.0 seconds, with 1.0 second fade). I have changed all settings everywhere and flaggings to try to "see" my slideshow, but just a black screen appears.
The odd thing is that if I exit out of lightroom, and re-open the application, I can get the "play" arrow and "impromptu" button to work a couple times, then they stop working. So I have actually seen the slideshow work a couple times.
If I export the slideshow and save it in Adobe as PDF, it actually saves my pictures, but I have to individually click the pictures in order to see them; there is no slideshow per se.
Any help is appreciated. This is my first attempt at a slideshow so I'm hoping it is my fault, but I'm a little weary because I have gotten it to work a couples times, by pressing buttons that don't work other times. I'm at my wit's end here.
Thanks,
Mindy Lewis

If you are on Windows (and most who experience this issue seem to be) ... try turning off hardware acceleration as a short term workaround:
- right-click an empty area of your desktop, choose properties
- click the Settings tab
- click Advanced
- click the Troubleshooting tab
- set hardware acceleration to None
- click OK to exit
See if that makes a difference. An updated driver is the best solution, but in its absence this may do the trick.

Lightroom 3 and CS5 Issue

I'm getting the following issue.
From Lightroom, if I select "edit in photoshop CS5" and then complete some edits and re-save the file, I will get the 2 of 2 etc in my filmstrip.
However, If I start to work on that image again in lightroom, any adjustment I make causes a flicker, and then the image renders itself again. It blinks, and re-renders with the new adjustment. Very annoying.
The only solution is to shut down lightroom and then re-open it.
Anyone else have this problem and if so, has anyone figured out what might be causing it?
Thanks.
Fulvio

Are you selecting the original file in Lightroom and then 'Edit in Photoshop'? When I do this and then save to the same folder in Photoshop the new file shows up in Lightroom's catalog without any further action be me. Do you have the Photoshop option set to 'Maximise PSD compatibility'?

Lightroom 4 Color Profile issue

I'm having real issues with my exported images from Lightroom 4. When editing the files in LR all the colors are fine, however when I export the images look over saturated and often horrible.
For a better understanding of what I'm doing in terms of exporting, I've gone into more detail (with example images) on my blog, here: http://www.dannypaynephotography.com/blog/2013/04/colour-profile-conundrum/
To clarify, I'm using a windows 7 laptop with Lightroom 4, using the built in monitor which has been freshly calibrated using a Spyder2express.
Thanks!
Danny

This has to be a bad monitor profile. Lightroom, Windows Photo Viewer and Firefox are all fully color managed and should, in theory, display identically. But a broken monitor profile can sometimes affect different applications differently.
The Spyder 2 express is not a great calibrator. It's now outdated, but even while it was current it quickly got a bad reputation, and rightfully so. Luckily ColorVision/Datacolor cleaned up their operation, and Spyder 3 and 4 are considered very good, with vastly improved sensors.
To test this, you can try to set sRGB as default monitor profile in Windows, instead of the Spyder profile. Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. I'm assuming, since this is a laptop screen, that it isn't wide gamut.

Lightroom 4 upgrade extracting issues

Hello,
Recently purchased Lightroom 4 upgrade (download version). Currently using Lightroom 3.6 64bit.
Downloaded successfully, but when tried to extract got this message:
A. Checked to make sure, but I am logged in as Administrator
B. Checked the write permissions for the destination folder (Desktop) and write permission is allowed.
C. I have >30GB available on my SSD HD. I can't imagine it needs more space.
Thoughts? What should i try next.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the quick response.
Looked at the Temp folder and all folders appear to have write permissions enabled.
Also only using MSE which I turned off and double checked to make sure Adaware wasn't running in the backround. No help. Still the same extracting issue.
I am not sure about the SSD. I think it is rooted properly? Picture attached.
