Lightroom 2.7 freezes after 7 exports

Hi folks,
I know, everyone is into LR3 - but as I am working with XP for various reasons, I have opted for the 2.7 version for the time being.
I have looked for a solution on the forum and the internet but did not find any up to now.
So, here it goes:
This is my computer
I have a HD of 500 GB that is still rather empty as I work with external harddisks that still have loads of space too.
With Photoshop CS2 I can work up to 10 - 12 hrs before I get hints that maybe I'd better reboot to empty the memory.
LR is a wonderful tool and I am happy with it.But...
The first bug of not wanting to save jpg has been solved with JF Metadata Wragler till I can upgrade my CS2.
But it has another one. I can export up to 7 photos I have been working on and then LR freezes when I want to export again. Closing down LR helps a few times but then it won't even be closed down any more - or if it does, it won't start up again and I have to reboot. At that moment all else, Photoshop included, still keeps on working happily...
I wondered if the Wrangler was doing it, disabled and removed it, downloaded a new version > no change. I worked a while with an eye on the Task Manager's performance tab but nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can see. It does peak for a fraction of a second during export but then goes nicely down to normal values. It makes no difference if there are many catalogues or only a few in LR. I am using a setting in the Wrangler that after saving the photo sends it to Photoshop which does save me time - but I tried without it and that makes no difference either. It is always 7 exports and then no more...
Any idea what is causing this and what else I can do?
If it weren't so lovely to work with LR, I'd just throw it out... but I don't really want to miss it any more :-)
Thanks and grts
Nil

Well that wasn't the solution either - I removed LR completely (the second
time), also the things it leaves behind in the Win Explorer after the
uninstall, checked in the registry, rebooted and reinstalled selecting the
setup32.exe file manually. Now I get 1 picture further. Instead of the 7th
photo each time, it is the 8th that freezes the export and LR... This is
getting kind of spooky... I'm still trying to see the fun side of it but
well...
Any more ideas?

Hi Dorin,

I do hope you can answer a short question for me.

When you install LR and it automatically uses setup64.exe, does that mean
it is thinking that you are running a 64 bits version of Windows? Because
then I may have found the answer to my problem - I hope. This counting to 6
business is getting rather irritating at the rate I take photos

  • Lightroom 5 - reimport fails after exporting to Photomatrix

    Hi,
    I'm a user of Lightroom 5 and Photomatrix.
    In Lightroom 4, when I select "automatic re-import" into Lightroom libary it functions perfectly.
    However after upgrading to Lightroom 5 this function has seized to work. An error message "Export Error: Error Saving File"
    And when I tries to a perform a manual save from Photomatrix, the original folder seems to be locked/read-only.
    For Example,  the image is located at .. /photo2014/DSC1001.jpg, after editing in photomatrix and reimporting, the folder ../photo2014 is locked, i can't save into that folder from Photomatrix.
    However I was able to save into a different folder and then later use Explorer to move the image file backinto ../photo2014. ie, it seems like when Lightroom to export to Photomatrix - using plug-in. Photomatrix places a restriction on Photomatrix - but not any other programs - to reimport / save back into the original folder.
    Please help!!

    Hi ssprengel,
    Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry it took so long to get back to this, I had other fires crop up after I posed this query. Unfortunately, no joy. I have like 14GB available on the C: drive I tried dearcing it on another drive, even on several other PC's and then tried to install it from a flash drive and it still fails with the exact same error. I have re-downloaded it like a dozen time on multiple computers and no joy. The only thing I haven't tried is installing it on a different computer, but that's because I don't have another machine available that will run it.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • Premiere Pro freezes after exporting with Media Encoder

    So I'm running the latest version of CC.
    Mac Pro, OSX 10.9.2, 8-Core Xeon, 24GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
    I've got a very simple and straight forward timeline. After sending "Exporting Media" via queue to Media Encoder, everything exports fine. But after returning to Premiere, it has become impossibly slow--practically frozen. No crash, no error message, just takes about 60 seconds for any clicks to register. I click save project, and the saving progress bar does not visibly progress, yet it seems to actually successfully save the project, because closing and launching premiere, the file is saved up-to-date just fine.
    So for the past few days, I've been saving --> export/queue timeline --> quit premiere --> allow queue to complete --> then relaunch premiere... Of course, this is only a temporary work around.
    Now, if I "Export" the media only without queueing in Encoder, it does fine and premiere remains stable and normal.
    Ideas?

    Exact same problem here, plus exports are slow

  • Quicktime video skips and freezes after exporting from FCP

    I have tried exporting from Final Cut a few different ways, but my QT file had short skips and freezes in the video (the audio is perfect).
    I have done this same thing several time with no problems at all. What am I doing wrong?

    DETAILS
    What are you exporting?
    How are you exporting... QT Movie, Conversion, what settings?
    What drive are you exporting to?
    What version of FCP and QT?

  • FCP HD freezes after exporting

    Every time I export to a Quicktime Movie reference movie, FCP freezes. The Quicktimes are fine and the burned DVD's are perfect. I've tried the usual suspects,i.e. trashing preferences downloading all the pro apps, but no joy. In the overall scheme of things the glitch is more annoying than a serious problem, but having to force quit FCP and reboot the machine doesn't seem like the best long term operating procedure. Ideas?

    Shane's Stock Tip Mantra: If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
    1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ and run it.
    2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
    3) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

  • Cineplus - freezing after export

    So...
    Some of you might be familiar with the cineplus plug in for adobe. It's beautiful stuff when it works. Problem is, it's only working 30% of the time for me. Now it grades correctly, and it goes through render and exports successfully through encoder. The problem is when I open the final clip. At a random interval (sometimes 20% sometimes 50% of the way through the clip) it gives me a frozen image but the sound continues on. This is in quicktime, h.264, and mpeg2.  Anyone out there want to venture a guess what's going on?

    Looks like you are stuck in the middle.

  • In SSRS , after exporting report in excel,wrap text property for cell and freeze column for SSRS table header not working in Excel

    I am working no one SSRS my table headers are freeze cangrow property is false and my report is working perfect while rendering data on RDL and i want same report after exporting in Excel also , i want my table header to be freeze and wrap text property
    to work after exporting in my report in excel but its not working ,is there any solution ? any patch ? any other XML code for different rendering ? 

    Hi Amol,
    According to your description, you find the wrap text property and fix column is not working after exporting into Excel. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when exporting to excel file, it has limitation for textbox.
    Text boxes are rendered within one Excel cell. Font size, font face, decoration, and font style are the only formatting that is supported on individual text within an Excel cell.
    Excel adds a default padding of approximately 3.75 points to the left and right sides of cells. If a text box’s padding settings are less than 3.75 points and is just barely wide enough to accommodate the text, the text may wrap in Excel.
    In this scenario, it supposed to be wrap text unless you merge cells. If cells are merged, word-wrap does not work correctly. If any merged cells exist on a row where a text box is rendered with the
    AutoSize property, autosize will not work. For the Fix Data Property, it can't be working in Excel. These are features when exporting to Excel. We can't change it because it's by design.
    Reference:
    Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder and SSRS)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Colors washed out in lightroom but not after export

    I'm new to Lighroom and don't really have a workflow sorted out. I'm shooting with a Canon 30D and shooting Raw+Jpeg until I learn enough to confidently handle raw files. If I adjust the images in lightroom so that they don't appear lifeless and grey by adding lots of saturation, when I export to jpeg and then view with windows picture viewer to see what the images would look like on Zenfolio in SRGB they are grossly over saturated and clownish. My monitor(Dell 2005FPW) is not calibrated with a calibrator but I am using the adobe prophoto icc profile in an effort to have some color management as I understand that is what Lightroom/CS3 uses. I'm not printing yet but hope to some day, for now I'd just like to upload some photo's to Zenfolio and share with friends and family but as it sits Lightroom is totally unusable as I have to guess what it will look like after export. I'm certain it's something I'm doing wrong or missing and I'm hoping someone can tell me what that is. Thanks in advance, Veet

    Thanks for all the replies, I was beginning to think I was on my own,I'm very happy this thread finally came to life. I did use an adobe Monitor profile (Prophoto) as I thought that was the color space used by LR and had read in some other thread that I should use it. I tried using my supplied profile (2005fpw.icm) and I get an error message from Photoshop stating "The Monitor profile"Dell 2005FPW color profile" appears to be defective please rerun your monitors calibration software. I then have the option to ignore the profile or to use it anyways. I actually stumbled accross the huelight ACR's and tried them out but that didn't help. Photoshop has the same bland lifeless look as LR does. I d/l a trial of Elements 5 and it was also the same so it's adobe across the board. Color space and color management are totally new concepts for me
    so I'm really at a disadvantage trying to trouble shoot this, I can bandy these terms about, but I suspect I don't really grok them fully as of yet. I'll be happy when I finally get my monitor calibrated, I understand now that it won't be a magic "fix all" :( but at least I'll have a solid point to begin building a color managed system. Other Raw converters don't seem to have this problem but as I am just now developing my workflow I'd like to master one program and I think I'd like that to be LR as it seems to be the one that encompasses the entire workflow ie. rating,cataloging,flagging ect. and I feel it would probably mesh best with Photoshop which I also plan to learn/use. I'm feeling pretty stuck and not very inspired to shoot atm as the exposures just keep piling up and aren't being integrated or dealt with appropriately. I don't have auto tone checked off and I'll see if I can track down an updated driver/profile for my monitor, one which isn't "defective" as Adobe puts it. Thank you for all the replies, I will get this resolved eventually and any help you guys can give me is more than appreciated.
    A few questions should I shoot Adobe RBG or SRGB from the camera and does it matter for RAW? My understanding was that in order to use 16 bit I needed to be in AdobeRBG.
    Which profile should I use for photoshop? as I can set the color space in it
    After I calibrate my monitor will I be able to use that profile for the various pieces of software I'll be using?
    I think I have Color Profile and Color Space meshed in my mind and thats probably very wrong. Thanks, Veet

  • No thumbnails in finder/preview after exporting files as dng out of lightroom?

    Does anyone have experience sorting out the issue of no thumbnails in finder/preview after exporting files as dng out of lightroom?
    There are several conversations in the forum about this problem, but cant seem to find a solution.
    Anyone know how to sort this out?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Mac does support previewing dngs in finder and preview. This has not been a problem before (besides when using my fujufilm compact camera, which mac now has updated the Apple camera for).
    To answer your Q about dng files. Thats exactly what i do. I have work which involves communicating/transfering multiple lr -edited files to someone else whom further edits in ps. Not only that, I personally use dng as a way of storing my files. I suppose like to keep my files tidy and uniform.
    Any mac users out there who has a a solution to my issue with previewing dngs?

  • Help! Lightroom freezes after installing.

    I get this message after trying to create or open a catalog: "An error occured when attemting to change modules." Then Lightroom freezes.
    I work on a Mac and have formatted and reinstalled my systemdisk with a qlean install. I had Lightroom installed and have used it for some years. But when installing the programs again I went for the Creative Cloud solution. When I tried to open my previous catalog I got this error message. And after several deinstallings and reinstallings I still get the same message and Lightroom freezes.
    Anyone who can help?

    Hi Ian.
    Thank you for answering. But I find no such file in Preferences. I think Lightroom freezes before making the preference file. Other solutions?

  • Problem with image after exporting from Lightroom 5

    Good day. Please can someone help me? I have Lightroom 5, and I have a problem in exporting edited images. At issue, do all the necessary settings and retreat noise and sharpness adjustment by brush adjustment tool, however, to export the image, noise and some minor adjustments are lost. Because in Lightroom visualize the way you wish, but after export, is not it the same? How do I get a different result? Thank you all!

    I have the same problem!
    Something got broken with my Lightroom 5.6 (Windows 7Pro)  two days ago and I don't see any adjustments made with brush after exporting photos!
    It's not a problem of library or RAW files - the same, work fine on other computers (iMac).
    I tried to clean the computer with CC Cleaner Tool, and install everything again, but it didn't help.
    I already lost 2 days trying to fix it, and I don't want to format the drive and install Windows again
    Can anyone help?

  • Color change after exporting from Lightroom

    I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
    Here is the original.
    After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
    It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
    I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.  Thank you so much for your help!

    Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
    >Can you upload a sample of each
    >* Raw File
    >* XMP Sidecar
    >* Exported JPEG
    I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
    The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
    I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
    I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
    Thanks!

  • IPhoto freezes after 46 photos exported

    I Photo freezes after 46 photos.  I have tried by eliminating photos and moving them around but it still freezes.  I am trying to export an album of photos to burn to a  CD and it just won't work.
    It exports the first 46 then tells me it cannot export the photo which would be 47.  But that should not be the case, since #47 is not the same photo when i go back after moving them around and deleting some.

    Where are you exporting to and how much free space do you have on your boot drive.  A test you can run is to  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import more than 47 photos  and check to see if the same problem persists.
    If it doesn't then the problem lies with your current library.
    If it does then it could be an application issue, user account issue or system issue.
    Report back with the results.

  • IMovie clips freezing/stuttering while editing in playback & after exporting to Quicktime

    I've been working with iMovie since 2003 and if its not one thing, its always another. This particular problem is a new one, and I can't seem to find the get around. Any advice would be appreciated!
    Working on a wedding video (large event size but only 6-8 minute project) and the clips are freezing/stuttering in the project and viewer windows when I try to play them back. Each time it freezes, I get the spinning wheel for 5-10 seconds before I can place my marker and try again. Endless cycle. This happened in a few other projects, but those I was able to edit out the freezing clips OR found that exporting to Quicktime seemed to smooth out the glitches, just made editing a pain.
    Not this time. Even after exporting to Quicktime, there are still numerous glitches in my quicktime movies (using default and numerous other settings).
    Here are the things I've tried: reinstalling my iLife 09 software, running all the updates, clearing off my hard drive (to give me 70+GB of space), detaching my external hard drive and only using internal memory, restarting, and deleting the plists. No luck, still have these glitches.
    Could this be an issue with audio or using the stabilization option (used that for the first time)?

    .. 90min movie .. share to iDVD .. iMovie would freeze and be unresponsive.. .exporting to QuickTime .. 13 hours .. random stills .. iMovie will freeze ..
    Would putting all of the clips and the project on an external hard drive help? Would updating to OS 10.5.8 help exporting to QuickTime?
    plus your profile, MacBook, indicates to me, your internal harddrive is full.
    check with DiskUtility, how many partitions your internal drive has.
    check, how much free disk space internal you offer your apps.
    imho, extHDD is a MUST when editing video..
    .. is there any way to move our already edited clips from iM09 to iM06?
    use 'Export using Quicktime', choose dv-stream (for SD content) or AppleIntermediate (for HD content) - these are the only codecs, iMHD6 reads..
    this export consolidate the project => it comes into iMHD6 as a single solid file, e.g. no more editing of titles, which are now 'burned into film'.
    _consider to create a special 'transfer'-version of your project:_
    in Project Browser, select project, ctrl-click, 'duplicate', and create a pre-production version (no titles, no music, additional material for further editing, longer clips to add transitions in iMHD6.. ect)

  • Interlacing in freeze-frame after export

    Hi,
    I've come up against this problem. It looks fine while using PE, but after exporting the freeze-frame looks terrible?
    Anthony

    Hi Steve,
    I tried a number of times to create the right preset but to no avail.
    The 4 options I get in advanced settings, after selecting 'Share/Personal Computer/Still Photo' are the following:
    1. The type of file (jpeg, tiff, etc)
    2. Frame rate (I leave as is)
    3. Progressive/Upper/Lower
    4. A number of choices, the first of which is square pixels.
    There doesn't seem to be any place for 'deinterlacing'
    Any thoughts?
