Lightroom 3.2 and facebook export

goodmorning everybody !
i hope someone can help me. First of all sorry for my english
so ...
i have a problem exporting photos to Facebook.
i had authorized Lightroom on facebook. Back to Lightroom and i see that i can't choose any album or create one
I don't know really where to look to solve the problem
any help ?
thanks

My problem with the service being unavailable rectified itself the very next morning, I can only guess that FB had that service down at the time I was trying to upload.
For those people who believe that you can only have one album per service, this is incorrect. The tool is actually very useful and far superior to the standard FB photo upload tools. However, as a previous user of jf Facebook, I still rate jf better than the LR Facebook tool, the only issue I have with the jf tool is it's difficult for me due to problems with my PayPal account, but the tool itself is superb.
Anyhow, I digress, back to the point of this post, after setting up your Facebook publish service, you may create as many collections, linked to either new or existing albums as you wish under this service. During the initial setup, you select or create an album, if you go into setup again, you do not have the option of creating any further albums - this is different from the jf tool and is probably what is confusing people. To create or link to another album, simply right click on the Facebook service, select create collection, give it a name and either create a new album to link it to, or select an existing album. If you create a new album, you can set the privacy settings here also.
At the moment, I currently have three Facebook Publish services on my LR 3.2 setup;
     1. My wifes FB Collections
     2. My own standard non-copyright FB collections
     3. My own copyrighted pics collections
The reason for setting up the two seperate FB Publish services for myself, is that one automatically inserts a watermark into the photos (copyrighted collection), where as the other does not.
The tool is a good tool, however please remember, if you modify the photo within LR after uploading, when you update this photo any comments or likes that users placed within FB will be lost forever, so do try and ensure that your photos are correct prior to posting.

  • Aperture 3 and Facebook exporting???  doesn't update

    So I tried the new Facebook exporter from Aperture 3. You can only put pics in a new Facebook album, or drag them into an album that you have created from within Aperture 3. But when I add photos by dragging them, they do not show up on Facebook. Aperture 3 says they are there, but they are not on Facebook. How do I add photos to an album? Anyone else have this bug in Aperture 3?

    After you drag new photos into the Facebook album, you have to click on the little radar-wave-looking icon to re-sync the album. I think there is a setting somewhere to make it auto-refresh, but by default they're manually synced.
    It's annoying that you can't seem to connect to an existing Facebook album. Hopefully they'll fix that.
    It would also be nice if you could connect to more than 1 Facebook account (I don't think you can) -- my wife and I keep our shared photo collection on Aperture, but I think only one of us can use it to sync photos to Facebook.

  • LR 3.2 Facebook Export Error

    Hello everyone,
    I keep getting a "Failed to Retrieve item info" when I try to publish my photos using Lightroom's facebook export publish feature.  I was able to use it a month ago but every time that I try to publish new albums to facebook it gives me that error.  I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling lightroom, tried uninstalling the facebook exporting option from lightroom, tried reauthenticating to facebook and nothing works.
    Does anyone have a fix for this?  A lot of my clients like it when I upload pictures for Facebook but I haven't been able to do so in a long time.
    If it's any concern, I'm currently using an Apple Macbook Pro 15" i7 and x64 lightroom 3.2.
    Does anyone have a fix so that I don't get that error and can publish to facebook again?

    I found too that the publishing services work differently than the plug-ins.  Not as intuitive, but work well just the same,  For me I had to do the "set-up" for the Facebook publishing service a couple of times.  I think this may have more to do with the Facebook security settings than with LR.

  • I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5. I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -  I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive whe

    Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
    I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
    I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
    I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
    When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
    Heading Import Results
    Some import operations were not performed
    Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
    then a description of the image with file name
    Box Save As                                  Box  OK
    If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
    To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
    Thanks if you can can help out.

    Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

  • My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

    Any ideas?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • Exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom shows different results in Lightroom than in Photoshop

    I has set the color space to ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have also calibrated my monitor.
    But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
    Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.

    Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.

  • FaceBook export and iPhone Sync

    I have used the FaceBook exporter for iPhoto and the exporter for Aperture. The former works fine the latter hangs. Insofar as it seems to usually manage to send the images, though not always, but the export activity just gets stuck going round and round and I have to cancel in the activity window. I have uninstalled the plug in and installed a newly downloaded version but no success. Am I alone?
    Am I alone in using Aperture and iPhoto side by side, each being suited to a particular kind of task (work/leisure etc)? If not, does anyone know a way to be able to sync selected Aperture AND iPhoto images to an iPhone? It is very irksome having to to select certain images in one and move them across to the other, just so I can take the images I want with me on the road.

    Hey Kakgungor,
    What problem are you having? I have been able to use the Facebook uploader with not too many hiccups except a few recent ones.
    1. Sometimes what is uploaded from Aperture is the unrotated, unedited pictures. Also, long version names from Aperture (which stupidly sync as the caption) tend to cause this, in my experience. I had to create new versions from the masters and apply the adjustments again, then upload only went smoothly when I left the version name as-is and edited later.
    2. When albums don't load completely to Facebook, often you get "missing" image markers in your Facebook album, even after re-syncing.
    3. Tags/Faces don't really sync back & forth that well. I'm still testing this out.
    Share with us your problem so we can figure something out and maybe write bug reports to Apple & Facebook & Flickr.

  • Is there any way to export or save my Lightroom 5 presets and keywords/tags to an external storage drive prior to a program and data wipe due to a corrupt registry? Thanks.

    Look at these instructions for how to move your LR to a new computer and copy things to a backup device until your computer is reformatted and you reinstall LR:

  • Lightroom 5 book module trims pixels on JPEG and PDF export

    I'm making a 12x12" book and want to export at 250dpi.  I'm expecting my pages to be square and exactly 3000x3000 pixles.  When I export to JPEG or PDF the pages are not square and JPEGs are 2968 x 3000.
    I've seen the same question asked regarding LR4.  It appears to not have been fixed or addressed in LR5.
    I'm not using Blurb to create books which I understand is the publisher that requires these odd sized pages and why LR exports pages this way.  Oddly, there is a special export for Blurb books; I wouldn't think that the generic JPEG and PDF exports should follow the Blurb standard.  Idealy, I want my JPEG exports to be two-page spreads at 6000 x 3000 pixels.  I can stitch together two pages in Photoshop easily enough, but not if the pages are not the correct size to begin with.
    For now, I'll use LR5 to mock up a book and then re-create the whole thing manually in PS, which is really sad and such a waste of time given that LR is so close to being able to export exactly what I want.
    Would love to see this fixed in an update soon.

    These are both bugs that have been fixed since the LR4 beta. Thanks for bringing them up, though.

  • Facebook Export - Existing Albums Not Found

    I have recently tried using Bridge to export photos to Facebook. However once I sign in, the box labeled "Existing Albums" is empty. This seems odd because I have over twenty existing albums on my Facebook page. Every time I want add photos to an existing album, I am forced click "Create a Photo Album" to create a new one then transfer the files from the new album to an existing one via the Facebook site.
    Anyone else having this issue? Any solutions?
    (Using Bridge CS5 v4.0.2.1 on Mac OsX 10.5.8)

    Dear users,
    I’m glad to share a news with you. The Bridge Facebook module has ported to new Facebook API, also it fixed this issue (Existing albums do not show up). We have published the new version of Facebook to update server. You can update it by following steps
    1) launch Bridge and open Export panel.
    2) Select Manage Modules menu from fly-out menu of the Export panel.
    3) Select Check for Updates from Module Options menu.
    4) Wait for a while, a message pop up to notify you the update is complete.
    5) Restart Bridge, then you can use the new Facebook module.
    Also, Bridge will automatically update Export Modules when you attempt to use a module. Please note that don’t do any export job when updating and Facebook presets might need to re-login before working.
    The main change is the authorization steps. It uses a dialog instead of Explorer.
    Thanks

  • Photos in Library module and after export look different than in Development module

    Hello,
    I experience a problem.
    After I update photos in the Development module, the updates seem not to be shown in the Library module. And when I subsequently export to Flickr, Flickr is also showing the original photo, not the adapted one.
    I noticed this the first time after making Blacks a bit deeper, causing a sunflower to become a deeper yellow. I thought that my adaptations were not applied in the Library module. After I checked with cranking down the Saturation all the way back (to almost black-and-white), that adaptation WAS applied in the Library view. So it had to be something else, causing the same color difference between the Library and Development modules.
    When I switch from the Library module to the Development module, I see a slight delay in applying my changes, but they are applied. Before they are applied, I can see that the original photo is shown and that looks the same as in the Library module and on Flickr.
    The photostrip on the bottom of the Lightroom screen also shows the original photos only, unless I go to the development module and select a photo (adaptations are applied in the photostrip after I select the photo, not before).
    After I played a bit more in the Development module, I found something strange in the Camera Calibration menu of the Development module. The Adobe Profile (my default) caused an obvious color difference between the Library (less saturated) and the Development (more saturated) modules. The Camera Standard profile also showed a (very) slight difference, but I was unable to notice the differences using the other profiles.
    So I was thinking (but it's only a guess), that the profiles are not applied in the Library view and on export, but they are in the Development module?
    I use Lightroom 5.6, Camera RAW 8.6.
    Please help me, as this is very annoying. I currently cannot export my photos to Flickr or anywhere else, unless I overcompensate before exporting. And I really don't want to do that. My Lightroom photo is my perfect photo, and I want to keep it that way...
    Many thanks in advance for any help,
    Peter

    Hi ssprengel,
    Thanks for your reply. Let me react to each possibility you mention and provide some extra information.
    - "Check your Export / File Settings / Image Format and make sure they are set to JPG not Original". Done that, it's not on Original, but on jpg. This would not explain why I see the difference in the Library and Development modules, by the way. But better to know for sure.
    - "...the most likely thing that is wrong is your color-management on your computer is not working properly". It is a PC with Windows 7. I have been using Lightroom for maybe 6 years and I never had this problem before. The last time I changed my setup is more than a year ago and this problem only started to happen a short while ago (after the update to Lightroom 5.6? I'm not sure, but that's the only thing that has changed lately). I use a Spider to create a custom profile that is correct for my setup and do a regular update on the profile.
    - "what brand and model of monitor do you have?" I have an EIZO FlexScan S2411W and use that for a long time as well. I chose this brand of monitors for its good color reproduction and I have been happy with it for years now.
    What I am not getting is why would all this show a difference between the Library and Development module? The only difference is the Lightroom software that is switching from one module to another, and that should deliver the same photo. I'm also stating in my first post that the differences are very noticeable using the Adobe Standard Camera Profile in the Development module. I have a feeling that the profile is part of the problem.

  • Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
    Turn off auto-update here:
    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
    2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
    They point to where the apps really are which is:
    For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
    For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
    3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
    Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
    right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
    4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
    It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
    You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
    Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
    5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
    Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
    Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.
    For further information about what has happened:

  • Problems with exporting after Facebook export installation

    Hi there,
    I installed the Facebook exporter app and then discovered my iPhoto is too old (it is iPhoto 4). Thereafter I was unable to export anything because my mac would crash. So I uninstalled the app and since then my normal export button is missing. I found a forum on this site, where the same problem was solved, but this was for someone with iLife 08 and required a reinstallation from disk.
    The problem is, I bought OS X 10.5 recently but not iLife, so my iPhoto etc is from the old days. I would be totally, infinitely and unbelievably grateful if someone could help me out here, because I currently cannot export anything from iPhoto. Which disk do I use for reinstallation? When I bought my mac it had 10.3 on it. How do I reinstall iPhoto when my operating system is new? Help!
    Cheers,
    Kerry

    Thanks for that - unfortunately I have lost disk number 1 and can only find disk number 2. Honestly, I never thought I'd need them, and they've been packed and unpacked at least 4 times since I bought the computer.
    I am trying to get the disk from mac friends - I'll see what happens. If anyone knows how to get hold of these old disks, or another work-around, I'd be very grateful...
    cheers and thanks again,
    Kerry

  • Facebook Export Shows Partial Album List

    I am using Facebook Exporter with the latest version of Bridge, and the latest Export modules.  Both Bridge and the Modules themselves have been updated as of today.  I've been able to successfully export to Facebook, but the issue is that the Albums window does not display all of my albums.  There are more than 5 albums missing from the list.  Anyone have the same issue?

    HAVE probelm with the FACEBOOK EXPORT too
    when I first installed it did not work at all
    then it did- it seemed to me a log in issue-
    whenit worked it was GREAT! I never has the problem of not seeing the album names, it always logged me out of FB for my next visit
    however every photo I uploaded to FB from Bridge export is now gone!! last two days
    All the albums created in the Bridge interface are gone and all the pictures into other albums that were not uploaded by Bridge are still in FB but not any I added via Bridge
    using CS5
    tried to update modules says no updates
    using win xp sp3
    error I get when trying to connect to FB is
       "error": {
