Lightroom 3.0 to 3.2 issues

I have downloaded version 3.2 of lightroom and all my file photo's are listed but when I access them i get a banner that says either the file is missing or offline, and I can't print any photo's because of the missing data. Version 3.0 was OK.
Help please

Make sure you are opening the correct catalogue.  This is the first step.
Secondly, ensure that the "Folders" the images are to be found in are present and the filesystems these references point to are correct and online.  You don't mention what platform you are running, but sometimes something as simple as a volume letter change can do this.
If you know where the source images are, and you can find them via the Explorer or Finder, you can always use the Synchronize Folder gesture to reconnect the images with the catalogue.

  • Lightroom mobile performance and "previous" button issues

    I am considering subscribing to Lightroom mobile for iPad so I decided to give it a trial run with 2000+ photos sync-ed (iPad 3, Nikon D7000 raw files). The performance is awful!
    Browsing through the images is fairly decent. Flagging also does a good job and seems that export works fine, but that is as far as I would go in praising the app.
    Downloading from the cloud for offline use takes time (for sure my internet connection's bandwidth is not the problem) and the app does not sync files for offline use when the iPad locks. I had to change the iPad lock settings to "never" in order to be able to download the full set of images. The iPad went from 50% battery to 10% just to download the files. That long it took, with the brightness dimmed to the minimum.
    With all other apps closed on the iPad (and offline from CC), it takes 2 to 5 seconds for loading the adjustment values (not to render the image) when moving to a new image (all image info off: exposure settings and histogram).
    When using basic adjustments and crop I have found it very difficult to apply the same settings to the next image. Simply the Previous button is inactive. Browsing back and forth seems to activate this button at random times. But clicking on it and selecting "Everything from previous" does not bring any settings. Neither the basic adjustments, nor the crop settings. Although the image seems to be re-rendering.
    In this case above, once the "Previous" button is reactivated, clicking on it highlights the selection (e.g. "Everything from previous") but no settings are applied. The menu does not close. I can click on "everything from" or "basic tones from" and they get highlighted but nothing happens. The menu does not close. Extremely annoying.
    Same thing for the Reset menu. Sometimes it works sometimes not. I have managed (again at random times) to reset the image to the import settings, browse back and forward to other images, return to the image and then apply the settings from previous photo successfully. But only if I wait 2-3 seconds after the "Previous" menu pops-up.
    When I hit the Reset -> All menu and then Previous -> "Everything", the image seems to only receive distortion correction (applied on the desktop to all photos upon import). No other settings are applied (basic adjustments or crop).
    When connected to CC, performance degrades even more as it seems that the app is checking for updated settings to the file. It adds an additional 2-3 seconds per image...
    Is there a fix in the works for these annoyances? At the current stage of the app, I do not consider subscribing to Creative Cloud as the app is basically unusable for batch processing.
    It would be best if the app would be optimised for batch processing as at the moment it seems as poor as the Photos app on the iPad (with some versatility in terms of the settings that can be tweaked). Any target date for a future update? My trial expires in 20 days or so and I am not impressed for now.
    I am not bothered by the slow rendering of the images on my device (for sure the iPad Air would do a better job) but the user interface is extremely slow and unusable. I have managed to edit 135 photos in 2 weekend days (roughly 4 hours of use). Very disappointed.

    Hi,
    thank you for your feedback.
    Previous... will only be active if the two images (previous one) and the present have different adjustments.
    Some more answers inline:
    In this case above, once the "Previous" button is reactivated, clicking on it highlights the selection (e.g. "Everything from previous") but no settings are applied. The menu does not close. I can click on "everything from" or "basic tones from" and they get highlighted but nothing happens. The menu does not close. Extremely annoying.
    The Previous... menu will not close automatically once one of its options has been chosen. Btw. do the small thumbnails visually differ from another (Basic tones and Everything)?
    Same thing for the Reset menu. Sometimes it works sometimes not. I have managed (again at random times) to reset the image to the import settings, browse back and forward to other images, return to the image and then apply the settings from previous photo successfully. But only if I wait 2-3 seconds after the "Previous" menu pops-up.
    Reset to Import is only visible if you have done any changes to the image. When you mention that it sometimes doesn't work - is the problem that it's not enabled at all?
    When using basic adjustments and crop I have found it very difficult to apply the same settings to the next image. Simply the Previous button is inactive. Browsing back and forth seems to activate this button at random times. But clicking on it and selecting "Everything from previous" does not bring any settings. Neither the basic adjustments, nor the crop settings. Although the image seems to be re-rendering.
    It would be nice if you could give us some more info on this case. Since I have a problem reproducing this issue, could you please let us know if you have many applications in the background? How much free space do you have on your device?
    Does a restart of the device help (in some cases it can)?
    When I hit the Reset -> All menu and then Previous -> "Everything", the image seems to only receive distortion correction (applied on the desktop to all photos upon import). No other settings are applied (basic adjustments or crop).
    Are you doing Previous->Everything this on the same image that you reset?
    thanks,
    Ignacio

  • Lightroom 3.2 out of memory issues

    I had been using the beta version of Lightroom 3 without issues.  Once I installed the shipping version I get out of memory messages all the time.  First I noticed this when I went to export some images.  I can get this message when I export just one image or part way though a set of images ( this weekend it made it though 4 of 30 images before it died ).  If I restart Lightroom it's a hit or miss if I can proceed or not. I've even tried restarting the box and only having Lightroom running and still get the out of memory issue.
    I've also had problems printing.  I go to print an image and it looks like it will print but nothing does.  This does not generate an error message it just doesn't do anything.  So far restarting Lightroom seems to fix this problem.
    When in the develop module and click on an image to see it 1:1 at times the image is out of focus.  If I click on another image and then go back to the original it might be in focus.
    I have no idea if any of this is related but I thought I'd throw it out there.  I've been using Lighroom since version 1.0 and have had very good luck with the program.  It is getting very frustrating trying to get anything done.  I search though the forum but the memory issues I found were with older versions. I'd be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

    Hi,
    You can get the HeapDump Analyzer for analyzing IBM AIX heapdumps from the below mentioned link.
    http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/heapanalyzer
    http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21190608
    Prerequistes for obtaining a heapdump:
    1.You have to add -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError to the java options of the server (see note 710146,1053604) to get a heap dump on its occurance, automatically.
    2.You can also generate heapdumps on request :
    Add -XX:+HeapDumpOnCtrlBreak to the java options of the server
    (see note 710146).
    Send signal SIGQUIT to the jlaunch process representing the
    server e.g. using kill -3 <jlaunch pid> (see note 710154).
    The heap dump will be written to output file java_pid<pid>.hprof.<millitime> in:
    /usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<N> directory.
    Both these parameters can be set together too to get the benefit of both the approaches.

  • Lightroom 2.0 Develop Control Speed Issue?

    Hi, just upgraded from Lightroom 1.4.1 to Lightroom 2.0.
    First off, a big hats off to the fantastic talents at Adobe for putting out a pretty great release with some killer features. I am really enjoying the update---particularly the awesome camera profile feature----now my reds and oranges from my Canon DSLR are exactly as I expected them to be.
    Now a problem I seem to be noticing (before commenting please check below the problem text to see my setup and also the things I have already done to resolve the issue):
    The Problem:
    I notice that when I am in the Develop module and manipulating the controls to do my edits that compared to version 1.4.1 the controls seem to be a good deal less smooth (in that I mean it is a good deal more difficult to get nice smooth fine controls---rather it seems jumpy and moves in coarser increments). This just might be my mind, but when I enable a second monitor the controls seem to be even more jumpy or less smooth).
    To make sure I wasn't imagining things I opened up another catalog of images in version 1.4.1 (a catalog that hadn't yet been converted over to the new 2.0 version) and carried out the same edit. In version 1.4.1 the controls were extremely smooth and moved so finely that I was able to get 1 digit changes very easily with my mouse.
    What I have already done to resolve this problem:
    1. I have properly updated my catalog to the 2.0 version.
    2. I have optimized and restarted the catalog.
    3. I have made sure that auto write to XMP was NOT enabled.
    My system (fairly new and fairly powerful):
    --Macbook Pro 2.5 Core 2 Duo Penryn
    --4 GB of RAM
    --Catalog on fast RAID drive setup for 0 connected via Firewire 800 (same as before the lightroom update)
    --Free space on Macbook Pro is about 150GB
    --512 GeForce 8600M GT Nvidia card
    The Questions:
    Is anyone else having this problem? Also does anyone think this might have anything to do with recent news about 8600M GT cards going bad---perhaps Lightroom 2.0 takes advantage of the GPU more so than 1.4.1 did? If Lightroom 2.0 is indeed taking advantage of the graphics card more than 1.4.1 does anyone think that 2.0 might over working the graphics card and therefore allowing the card's flaw to show through in jittery UI controls?
    Other thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for people replying to this post.

    I also have a problem with the adjustment brush. Very slow and jerky to use, almost useless with larger brush. If I try to adjust the slider once an area is selected it can take >4s to update and if a bit hesitant in moving the slider each tiny movement gets interpreted as a new command and the display gets updated every 4s until it runs out of commands in the buffer. Also I get the problem with the sliders remaining coupled to the cursor even when it is somewhere else entirely. At first I thought it was operating like the curve region sliders but something else is happening.

  • Lightroom corrupting RAW files? Hardware issue?

    I've started having some issues with RAW files being corrupted when I open them in Lightroom. I've done a lot to troubleshoot and narrow down the symptoms, and here is what I can tell you. If anyone has any ideas for how to solve this, I'd really appreciate it!
    Equipment
    Canon 7D, 1 32GB CF card, 1 4GB CF card
    Lenovo Laptop, Win 8; Lightroom 4
    Dell PC, Win7, Lightroom 5
    Here's what the corruption looks like in my Library view. Note that all of the photos are the same. I just rapid-fired a bunch of shots down the hallway to test this out.
    I first noticed the corruption on the PC, pulling photos from the 32GB card. I bought a new hard drive (SSD hybrid), installed a clean version of Windows 7, and upgraded to Lightroom 5, then the 5.3 update. I re-downloaded some photos from the 32GB card, and they still show up corrupted. So here is my further testing:
    I shot a series of photos like shown above on the 32GB card, downloaded them on the laptop with a new USB cable. The photos look good.
    I shot a series of photos on the 4GB card, downloaded them to the laptop with the same cord, they look good.
    I imported the same photos photos from the 4GB card and from the 32GB card on the PC with my existing Lighrtoom Catalog and they are corrupted.
    I created a new Lightroom Catalog on the PC and downloaded the same photos from the 4GB card and from the 32GB card on the PC and they are corrupted.
    So what gives? I think we can rule out corruption or issues on the hard drive, the OS, the USB cable, and both of the CF cards. It baffles me that a new HD, clean OS install, new catalog, new USB cable, and upgraded Lightroom haven't solved the problem. Is it possible that there is some other part of the hardware on my PC which is corrupting the files?
    I'd love some insight if folks have any ideas!
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Was this ever figured out AdamCohn?  I have a very similar issue.  I have actually watched two photos over the last two days become corrupt while viewing them in Lightroom.  I am not suggesting LR is the cause (as I know this is almost always hardware related) but it has happened right in front of my eyes while LR is interacting with the images (I believe).
    Scenario:
    Images were
    * Imported into LR on different days (about a week apart)
    * Imported to different hard drives during import (one an SSD, another to a typical HDD)
    * Behaving normally in LR until corruption (i.e. previews were built without issue, was able to develop and export images. Showed fine in Finder).
    After viewing the images in Loupe view and watching them flip instantly to a visual mis-mash similar to what you showed the images were permanently screwed.  The appear the same way in Finder and in Photoshop
    I have not noticed any other issues in any other app or area of the system.  Everying seems to be running smoothly.
    Troubleshooting:
    * Memory tests:
      - Built-in Apple memory test (normal + extended).
      - MemTest (as described here: MemTest for Mac OS X Tests your RAM). Ran it twice, all tests passed.
    * I am running some HDD checks now, but with the two images being on two different drives I suspect the likelihood of this being a drive issue is extremely small.
    Suggestions?

  • Lightroom 4.1 RC2 - Secondary monitor issue

    Hi
    lightroom 4.1 rc2 seems to have solved the crash issue when using a secondary monitor.
    NOW i have another HUGE and HEAVY problem...
    The image that appears in the secondary monitor have total different colors than the reality... and when switching the configuration ( so main window go into secondary monitor ) colors are fine ( so this isn't a bad configuration between monitor and lightroom.... ).
    Images in secondary monitor appears less contrasted and greenish. And that's a big issue ( cause i use secondary monitor for the correct balancement for printing ).
    I repeat that the main window of lightroom shows the image correctly when working with secondary monitor as main...

  • Just yesterday, I've been hit with the problem of a sharpening and or noise issue in develop and exporting? I'm confused to why all of a sudden this problem has happen. I've been using lightroom 5 for months with no issue's till now

    I've not changed or done anything different than I have for over a year now and all of a sudden I realized when I printed a photo it was blurry?
    So looked into exported photo in my library on PC and it also was blurry. Then went back to lightroom it also in LR library and in develop is blurry?
    I'm stumped as to why it just isn't working as it always has and what may be the problem?
    Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    What version of LR? There was a bug involving the application of Develop/Detail settings to some resized photos in LR 5.3 that was subsequently fixed.

  • Lightroom 4 (beta and current release) - Issue with Select Catalog screen - catalogs not displaying

    I noticed this during the beta test version of LR4 and was hoping it would be corrected in the actual release (which I installed yesterday).  Here's the issue:
    When the Select Catalog window opens, catalogs will not display unless I click in the empty space in the window (first screenshot)...then they will appear one by one as I start to click (second screenshot) until all are displayed.
    Does anyone have any suggestions??  These catalogs are NOT on a network drive, they are on my desktop machine (Win Vista 64-bit).

    I have the identical problem.
    LR3 worked perfectly. LR4 won't refresh the Catalog screen at startup without me clicking on each entry. Only when an entry is selected will it appear.
    I have an nvidia GeForce 9800GT video card, supporting dual monitors.
    I'm using Vista 64.
    I just upgraded to LR4 64bit, and immediately had this problem.
    I installed the most current video driver (2/12/2012) with no change in problem (or performance).
    I have not noticed any other program having issues, and have not changed any hardware recently.
    I am also noticing that LR4 is visibly slower than LR3, to the point where most sliders don't slide evenly, but jump in increments unless I move VERY slowly.
    I've watched the processor load using resource monitor: it is not peaking over about 65% during slider actvitivity.
    I have an Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz with 8 gb of ram.

  • Lightroom's Slideshow Module export quality issue

    When I export a slide show, the resulting quality of the photos in the pdf is much below that of the photos I see in the Library module. There is a high degree of aliasing (jagged edges) and if I export the slide show at less than 100% quality or at a screen size smaller than my client's, the pixelization renders the slide show useless.
    I am using a Mac with the latest OS with a 256mb video card, 2GB RAM, and plenty of harddrive space.
    I have confirmed with two other experienced photographers that this is also happening with them.
    I have resorted to using Fotomagico as a slideshow software vs. Lightroom for the results from Lightroom are too unprofessional to show my clients.

    Pat,
    I just checked my slideshow output and it looks good. I can only suggest [and you probably have tried all of these: 1] Make sure your photos look good to start, high res etc. 2] make sure you have the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader [8 I believe] 3] restart LR [I hesitate to even say this]
    Beyond that I don't have much to offer.
    Good luck

  • Been using Lightroom 5.6 for weeks, no issues.  Went to open a catalogue today, it would not open... message assertion failure. Followed Adobe's posted fix... still cannot open catalogue or Lightroom at all. Running Windows 7. Help!

    I have been using Lightroom 5.6 for weeks. Today I went to open a catalog and I got the message "assertion failure". I have gone through Adobe's posted fix for this, the Pictures folder is linked to My Pictures folder. Still no luck, in fact Light room will not open at all. I get the name of the catalog, I tried to open earlier, across my screen and the message "assertion failure". I am running Windows 7. Does anyone know of a fix for this??

  • Lightroom 4.4 jpeg export watermark issue

    Not sure abbout the older LR versions because I only tried this on LR 4.4.. After I edited my Raw images shot by Nikon D600, I'd like to export them to Jpeg format with my watermark. The watermark will not show if I exported the images in original size (6016 x 4016) as shot. However the watermark works fine if I resize the images to a smaller size, such as 1200 x 1024. Has anyone experienced the same issue? How can I work around it?

    Irrespective of the rights/wrongs about exporting full resolution jpegs, the problem you describe sounds like the long-standing watermark bug. Basically there are certain circumstances whereby a text-based watermark will not show on the exported jpeg, and the factors that influence this are as follows:
    The font being used for the watermark.....only certain fonts may be affected, e.g. Lucida Calligraphy is one. But even then the bug may not occur, as it also depends on:
    a) The pixel dimensions specified for the output file. The larger the pixel size, the greater the risk that the bug will bite (as you have already discovered).
    and/or
    b) The proportional size as specified in the watermark editor....again the larger the size, the more likely the bug will bite.
    So the workarounds are:
    1) Try a different font.
    2) Try reducing the pixel dimensions for the output file.
    3) Or try reducing the specified proportional size.

  • Lightroom 4.4 export color profile issues

    Hello,
    My problem is that when I export JPG's from Lightroom (100% / sRGB / sharpen for screen) the picture seems to lack contrast and the colors look less saturated (Looks like this everywhere, including Windows Preview, Firefox, Photoshop..). If I select Soft Proofing and sRGB, the colors look correct.
    Also if I take a screen capture and save it as JPG, the colors look similar to my preview in Lightroom.
    I have tried to export in sRGB, Adobe RGB and ProPhoto RGB color profiles but none of them looks the same as LR preview.
    Thanks

    This looks like Lightroom is choking on a bad monitor profile, especially if Lightroom and Photoshop are not in agreement (because they should be, always - but it can happen that they react differently to a bad profile).
    Is your monitor calibrated/profiled? What calibrator? Or if not, are you using a monitor profile provided by the monitor manufacturer? (they're sometimes defective).
    Export to Adobe RGB and open it in Photoshop. Put Ps and Lr side by side and make a screenshot of that. If they're different, I bet it's the monitor profile. The reason for testing this with an Adobe RGB export (and not sRGB) is to rule out any normal gamut clipping.

  • Lightroom 2015 cc Develop module Display issue

  • Lightroom Issues Aplenty

    Hello,
    I've been using Lightroom on another computer for about a month (an i5 core notebook) and it works amazingly well (with the exception of issues the notebook itself is currently having with the keyboard), but, for some reason on my significantly better spec i7 core desktop, Lightroom is having all sorts of issues - including not displaying all the images on the import / library section. It shows the IDs and where to check them, but won't show the thumbnail images themselves for a significant period of time, if at all. Usually I just have to close out, and start all over again, and it still doesn't work. Then, after I do check ones to import, they don't all finish appearing available to develop until several minutes have passed. Then, when you go back to the import section, it won't show the SD card available for selection anymore - let alone any of the images, at all.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this? Or, could give me an idea of what I may want to do, to get this program to function basically as it should? Thanks!

    Well after a long but very useful call with Apple support it seems its a 16GB CF card compatibility problem - 4GB CF cards work fine - Lightroom auto opens and asks to import etc - but with 16GB cards it is the issues I reported above. Sounds like its low capacity cards until there's an update then - I know there used to be issues with high capacity cards so maybe someone forgot to apply the fix to Lion... please fix it quickly Apple - I can only get 180 RAW files on a 4GB!

  • Troubleshoot installation problems in Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista

    This document can help you to resolve system errors that occur while you use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista. System errors can manifest in many different ways, including (but not limited to) the following:
    A blank or flickering dialog box
    A frozen cursor or screen
    A blue screen
    An unexpected restart
    An error message such as:
    "Setup is unable to load the installation script file."
    "Unable to create a directory under C:\Windows\System. Please check write-access to the directory."
    "Uninstalling: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
    Note: If you attempt to install Photoshop Lightroom to a drive that doesn't have the minimum required space available, the installation will fail. You must then completely reinstall to another location that has sufficient free space.
    Many different factors can cause system errors, including conflicts among device drivers, applications, operating system settings, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files. Although a system error may occur only when you work with Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Lightroom may not necessarily be the cause; it may be the only application that uses enough memory or processor cycles to expose the problem.
    To benefit most from this document, perform the tasks in order. Keep track of the tasks that you perform and the results of each, including errors and other problems. Adobe Technical Support can use this information to better assist you if you need to call.
    You must be logged on as an administrator to perform some of the procedures in this document.
    Important: Some of the procedures in this document may initiate a User Access Control dialog that asks for your permission to continue. Read the details in the dialog to determine if you want to continue. If you choose to cancel the dialog, then you will not be able to continue with that troubleshooting step.
    The steps in this document that refer to the Control Panel are in reference to the Classic view. For information on switching the Control Panel to the Classic view and many other common OS procedures, see Common Microsoft Windows Vista procedures (TechNote kb401275)
    Some of these procedures require you to locate hidden files and hidden folders. Some procedures require you to locate files by their full file names, which include extensions (for example, example_filename.ini). By default, Windows Explorer doesn't show hidden files, hidden folders, and file name extensions that it recognizes.
    To show hidden files, hidden folders, and all file name extensions in Windows Explorer:
    In Windows Explorer, choose Organize > Folder And Search Options.
    Click the View tab in the Folder Options dialog box.
    In Advanced Settings, select Show Hidden Files And Folders.
    Deselect Hide Extensions For Known File Types.
    Click OK.
    Note: The procedures in this document are based on the default interface of Windows Vista. If the interface is customized, some procedures may vary. For example, a commonly encountered difference is the navigation to Control Panel from the Start menu: You may navigate Start > Settings > Control Panel instead of Start > Control Panel. Additionally, the procedures in this document assume you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel: To view the Control Panel in the Classic View, click Switch To Classic View on the Control Panel navigation bar on the left side of the window.
    Beginning troubleshooting
    The tasks in this section can help you resolve the most common system errors. Before performing any of these tasks, back up all personal files (for example, Photoshop Lightroom files you created). Always restart the computer after a system error occurs to refresh system memory. Continuing to work without restarting the computer may compound the problem.
    1.Make sure that the system meets the minimum requirements for PhotoshopLightroom.
    Photoshop Lightroom may not run correctly on a system that doesn't meet the following requirements:
    Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
    Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
    768 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended)
    1 GB of available hard-disk space
    CD-ROM drive
    In addition to these requirements, a video card that supports 24-bit (16 million) or more colors, and a resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher, is recommended.
    * Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until Adobe fully certifies Photoshop Lightroom for use on Windows Vista.
    To check basic system information, such as processor speed and how much RAM is installed, choose Start > Control Panel > System.
    2. Delete previously installed application files, especially if you had the public beta version of Photoshop Lightroom installed.
    To delete files from a previous Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installation attempt:
    Choose Start > Control Panels > Add or Remove Programs.
    Select Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and choose to remove it.
    Close the Add Or Remove Programs window and the Control Panel.
    Open Windows Explorer.
    If the Lightroom.exe file is still in the Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder, delete it.
    If the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file is still in the Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder, delete it.
    Empty the Recycle Bin.
    Try to reinstall. If you cannot, continue with the next two sections in this step:
    Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Presets. These are the presets that were installed with the application and that you created.
    Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Previews.lrdata folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Previews. If you have a large number of images, you can move this folder back to its original location before you open Photoshop Lightroom, once it's installed. Or you can delete this folders to re-create it when Photoshop Lightroom opens. If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, it might be due to corruption in the previews, in which case you need to delete this folder and re-create it.
    Try to reinstall.Important: Do not delete the Lightroom Database.lrdb file!
    If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, these issues may be due to corruption in the preset files you created, in which case you need to remove them and re-create them, or test each preset individually.
    Note: If you can reinstall, and if this is not the first time you opened Photoshop Lightroom, then Photoshop Lightroom will look for a library database file. If it does not find a library in the expected location, it will prompt you to create a new library, locate the library, or exit. Exit will close the dialog box, and Photoshop Lightroom will not open. Although you can tell Photoshop Lightroom to locate your library, it's best to put it back in the default location and then open the application.
    If you can reinstall, close Photoshop Lightroom and then copy any presets you created from the Lightroom presets on the desktop back into the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder.
    If you cannot reinstall, then move the Lightroom Database.lrdb file from the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom folder into a new folder called Lightroom Database File and save this file on the desktop. This is your database, if you previously had Photoshop Lightroom installed.
    Reinstall Photoshop Lightroom. If you cannot reinstall, continue with the next task in this document.
    3. Log in as Administrator before installingPhotoshopLightroom.
    In Windows Vista, you must be logged in with local (that is, machine) Administrator rights to install Photoshop Lightroom. If you don't have administrator rights, contact your system administrator for assistance.
    4. Check the CD and CD-ROM drive.
    Dust or dirt on a CD can interfere with an installation and prevent the CD-ROM drive from recognizing the CD. Examine the Photoshop Lightroom CD for dirt, dust, or fingerprints. Gently wipe the bottom of the CD from the center outward with a soft, lint-free cloth.
    Verify that the CD-ROM drive can read other CDs. If it can't, examine the CD caddy or loading tray for dirt, and clean it with a lint-free cloth. If it still can't read other CDs, contact the CD-ROM drive manufacturer or the computer manufacturer.
    5. Install current Windows service packs and other updates.
    Updates to the Windows operating system improve its performance and compatibility with applications. You can obtain Windows service packs and other updates from the Microsoft website at www.windowsupdate.com. For assistance installing service packs and other updates, contact Microsoft technical support.
    Important: Before you install a system update, check the system requirements for Photoshop Lightroom (and any third-party software or hardware you may use with Photoshop Lightroom ) to ensure compatibility. If the update isn't listed, then contact Adobe or the manufacturer of your third-party software or hardware.
    6. InstallPhotoshopLightroomfrom the desktop and use the default installation folder.
    Some system components such as device drivers and virus protection utilities can conflict with the Photoshop Lightroom installer and result in an incomplete or failed installation, or they can cause problems when you install to a folder or when you use a path to the default installation folder that contains a special character, such as #. To prevent these conflicts, install Photoshop Lightroom from the desktop, and use the default folder name and path.
    If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
    Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
    Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
    Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    7.Re-create thePhotoshopLightroompreferences file.
    Re-create the Photoshop Lightroom preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause:
    Quit Photoshop Lightroom.
    Rename the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file (for example, to Lightroom Preferences.old) in the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder.
    Start Photoshop Lightroom. Photoshop Lightroom creates a new preferences file.
    If the problem continues, the preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, delete the new preferences file and restore the original name of the previous preferences file.
    8.Install and run Photoshop Lightroom while no other applications are running.
    Some applications may interfere with installing or running Photoshop Lightroom. Virus protection programs are meant to stop viruses from installing on your computer. Before installing or starting Photoshop Lightroom, disable other applications, including virus protection programs and startup items (items that start automatically with Windows).
    To disable startup items and non Microsoft services:
    Quit all applications.
    Choose Start, type msconfig in the Search text box, and press Enter.
    Write down all unselected items under the Startup and Services tabs.
    Click the General tab, and choose Selective Startup.
    Click the Startup tab and select Disable All.
    Click the Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services.
    Select Disable All then re-select FLEXnet Licensing Service. If you are unsure whether an item is essential, then leave it deselected (disabled).
    Click Apply, and restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
    Note: Upon restart, you'll be notified that the System Configuration utility has made changes to the way that Windows starts up. Click OK. When the System Configuration utility appears, click Cancel.
    Right-click icons in the Notification Area and close or disable any startup items that are still active.
    9. Install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items and installing from the hard disk.
    Hard disk problems can prevent Photoshop Lightroom from installing correctly. By installing Photoshop Lightroom to a different physical hard disk, you can verify if the original hard disk is preventing installation. First, completely remove Photoshop Lightroom from the hard disk.
    To install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items:
    Follow the steps in task 8 above to disable startup items.
    If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
    Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
    Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
    Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Click Change and select a different hard disk in the Change Current Destination Folder window. Click OK, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
    Intermediate troubleshooting
    If the tasks in the previous section don't solve the problem, try the following intermediate troubleshooting tasks.
    10. Install and run Photoshop Lightroom in a new user account.
    Create a new user account that has the same permissions as the account that you use when the problem occurs. If the problem doesn't recur, the original user account may be damaged. For instructions on creating a new user account, see To add a new user to the computer in Windows Help or contact your system administrator.
    11. Optimize handling of temporary files by Windows Vista.
    Windows and applications store working data in temporary (.tmp) files that they create on the hard disk. Excessive or outdated temporary files can interfere with performance of Windows or applications.
    Delete temporary files by using the Disk Cleanup utility included with Windows or by using the following instructions. Make sure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written. To start Disk Cleanup, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. For information about Disk Cleanup, see Windows Help.
    To manually delete temporary files:
    Note: Windows deletes temporary files when Windows and applications close normally. However, when Windows or an application crashes, temporary files can accumulate on the hard disk. Windows may prevent you from deleting some temporary files as they may be in use. Delete as many temporary files as you possibly can, without deleting the files that are in use.
    Quit all applications.
    Choose Start and type %tmp% in the Search text box and press Enter.
    Delete the contents of this folder.
    Note the drive letter where this directory is located.
    To ensure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written:
    Choose Start > My Computer.
    Select the drive noted in step 4. Right click and select Properties.
    Confirm the drive has at least 1 GB of free space.
    12. Repair and defragment hard disks.
    System errors can occur if hard disks contain damaged sectors or fragmented files. Repair and defragment hard disks, either by using the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter utility included with Windows or by using a third-party disk utility. You should run such utilities on each hard disk or partition. More information about the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter appears below; for more information about a third-party disk utility, refer to the documentation for the utility.
    The Error-checking tool repairs bad sectors, lost allocation units and file fragments, cross-linked files, and invalid file names. To access the Error-checking tool, choose Start > Computer, right-click the desired hard disk, and choose Properties from the menu. In the Local Disk Properties dialog box, click the Tools tab, and then click Check Now in the Error-checking area.
    Note: To prevent Disk Defragmenter from moving files to bad sectors of a disk, run the Error-checking tool before running Disk Defragmenter.
    Disk Defragmenter rearranges the files and free space on your computer so that files are stored in contiguous units and free space is consolidated in one contiguous block. To access the Disk Defragmenter utility, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
    13. Scan the system for viruses.
    Use current anti-virus software to check the system for viruses. Virus infections can damage software and cause system errors. For more information, see the documentation for the anti-virus software.
    14. Try to install Photoshop Lightroomon a different computer.
    Try to install Photoshop Lightroom on a different computer to determine if the problem is unique to your computer. If the problem is unique to your computer, contact the computer manufacturer; if the problem occurs on multiple computers, contact Adobe Technical Support.
    Advanced Troubleshooting
    If the tasks in the previous section don't resolve the problem, you may be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, reformatting your hard disk and reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, or by determining if hardware is conflicting with Photoshop Lightroom.
    Disclaimer: Adobe doesn't support hardware and provides these procedures as a courtesy only. For further assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller. If you troubleshoot hardware problems yourself, you may void the warranty for your computer.
    Note: Before you remove or rearrange hardware, turn off and disconnect power to the computer and any peripheral devices.
    15. Log in using the built-in Administrator account.
    The built-in Administrator account has a higher access level to the system than a normal local administrator account. By default the built-in Administrator account is disabled. For information about enabling and logging in to the built-in Administrator account, contact your system administrator. You can also refer to this support document on the Microsoft support website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926183/en-us?spid=11737&sid=73.
    16. Reformat the hard disk, and reinstall only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom.
    Reformat the hard disk, and then install only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom from the original installation media. Reformatting a disk erases all files it contains, so be sure to back up all personal files first. Also make sure that you have all application and system disks.
    For instructions on performing a clean installation of Windows Vista, see document 918884, "How to install Windows Vista" on the Microsoft website at http://support.microsoft.com.
    Note: Don't install additional software or hardware until you're sure that the problem is resolved. Don't back up the hard disk and restore Windows and Photoshop Lightroom instead of reinstalling them. If the problem is caused by an application or Windows, and either one is restored instead of reinstalled, the problem may recur.
    After you reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows and Photoshop Lightroom, try to re-create the problem:
    If the problem no longer occurs, then install other applications one at a time and try to re-create the problem after each installation. If the problem occurs after an installation, then the recently installed application may be the cause.
    If the problem occurs when only Windows and Photoshop Lightroom are installed, then the cause may be hardware-related, and you should contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller for assistance.
    17. Check for problems with RAM modules.
    Ensure that the RAM modules are installed properly and are not the cause of your problem. Do one or both of the following:
    Change the order of the installed modules.
    Remove all but the minimum number of modules needed to run Windows and [product], and test to see if the problem persists. If it does, replace the modules you removed and remove the others, testing again to see if the problem recurs. If it doesn't, then one or more of the removed modules are the cause. For assistance, contact the RAM manufacturer.
