Lightroom 3 export script

Hi everyone,
I'm posting this same issue here and at Apple's website, so hopefully someone will know how to do this...
Anyway, I'm using Lightroom 3, and I also use Capture One. I import/organize and edit all my photos in Lightroom, but sometimes I want to perform an edit to a photo in Capture One, so I open it, locate the raw file inside Lightroom's library and I can do the edit. It works just fine, but I wonder if there's a way to create a script that does just that. I mean, I can do it from Lightroom to Photoshop, because Lightroom has this behavior built-in, but maybe using a script, I can achieve the same result with Capture One...
Anyone has any idea if this is possible, and of course, how to write such a script?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi John,
This is brilliant, looks just what I was looking for. But I'm having some trouble. I installed the plugin, in Lightroom's plugin manager it is Installed and Running, and under the Status tab says that the version is 1.0.0.28, but when I try to use the plugin, at the top of the dialogue window there's the following sentence "The latest version of this plug-in is 1.0.0.28. You are running version 1.0.0.27.". I don't get it...
Also, whenever I click on either Combined String or Simple String buttons, I get yet another dialog that says "Beta expired - go to John's web site", and when I click on OK, the plugin closes and I can't use it.
Could you help me out here?
Thanks a lot!

How to remove watermarks from images which have been inadvertently applied via the Lightroom Export function? [was: Help!]

I put a watermark on a photo in Lightroom 5 and exported it to a file. I then had another group of images which I exported and they all had the watermark on them and I can't get rid of the watermark

Export the photos again, but in the Lightroom Export dialog box, remove the check next to Watermark

Lightroom Export Action and Automator

Hi. Have an interesting anamoly that I hope someone an explain to me. I am trying to leverage Adobe Lightroom's export preset post-processing option to help in importing photos into iPhoto (where I can make easy use of the .mac photocasts). I created an Automator workflow comprised of the following actions: 1) Get Specified Finder items (with the export folder from Lightroom selected) 2) Get Folder Contents 3) Import Photos into iPhoto (with the delete source option selected).
I placed the Automator app, named "Import to iPhoto" into the Lightroom "Export Actions" folder and selected it in the post-processing drop down in my export preset. When exporting from this preset, the file(s) are exported as expected, however, for some reason the Automator action imports duplicate files into iPhoto for each photo exported. If the photos are exported separately without the post-processing export action, and then the Automator action is run manually, there are no duplicate files imported. Does anybody have any ideas what might be occuring here?

Export scripts

I would like to know how to develop export scripts with suitable buffer size to preserve important tables before and after batch process (for bill processing ) using export utility / import utility

Depends on what OS you are using. Google is your friend. Google tuning oracle exp or something to that effect.

Lightroom Export Color Shift

Exported JPEGs from Lightroom have a significant color shift from how they appear inside LR and PS3, which is a distinct magenta shift and oversaturation.
I have read a number of related posts here and elsewhere that explain the importance of setting up color management correctly in Windows, LR and PS3. I have done my best to follow all this advice and still cannot export usable JPEGs from Lightroom. I am using a Spyder 3 and have carefully profiled my Dell 2408WFP monitor. I am processing RAW images from a Canon 30D into sRGB JPEGs for web viewing, and have set up LR to export sRGB while PS3 is set to the sRGB working space.
I have also read that Internet Explorer and other color-unmanaged applications will display images differently. I understand this, but then it seems to me that every image I view inside Windows Picture Viewer or Internet Explorer on this computer would have the same oversaturation and magenta shift that my Lightroom exports do, but this is not the case. Also, my Lightroom-exported JPEGs have an equivalent magenta-tinted and oversaturated appearance on other computers I use, not just my image-editing computer.
I have set up a web page with example images, screen grabs and system technical information, located here: http://www.dougvetter.com/lightroom
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

>What can I do to get predictable color output that looks good outside a color managed environment? All the web content I look at on this exact same system looks just fine in my browser.
The only thing you can do is to calibrate your screen and export to sRGB jpegs.
On average the images will look the same, however very few will look identical simply because there is a lot of variation among screens. The sRGB standard gives you the biggest probability of getting it right. Unfortunately with the current upsurge in people buying laptops, which have in general a far smaller gamut than sRGB (the purple blue problem is caused by bad laptop screens), sRGB is starting to deviate from the average because the average is shifting. At the same time desktop LCDs are giving greater and greater gamut as your DELL display shows. sRGB was designed to represent an average CRT screen. So the crappy quality of laptop LCDs and the refusal of MS to finally live up to their promise of color management in IE is really hurting our chances of getting the right color in front of people.
What we really need is omnipresent color management and some awareness of computers of their monitor's profiles without having to calibrate, similar to printing profiles being delivered by printer manufacturers. They might not be perfect, but they will be good enough. Lacking that, we can really only try to calibrate our screens and use sRGB for web images.

Editing an export script - please help!

Hello Photoshop friends,
so I have an export script that I downloaded from the web which exports all layers to a file type of your choice - PNG, GIF, etc. This is fine, but the dialog box doesn't support file format options such as matte, dither, transparency and so forth. Is it possible to edit the script to give it literal values for these inaccessible variables instead of the default? I'v been digging around the script, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing.
Specifically, I want to leave the script intact except the following settings for the PNG8 format:
Colours 256
Transparency - YES
"No transparency dither"
Matte: "none" (currently it gives me a white matte)
Please, I would really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction please, please!
Ulerika.

Hey Michael, thanks for your quick reply. I tried to attach the script, but the forum won't allow me to do so. The script in question is here:
http://tranberry.com/photoshop/photoshop_scripting/tips/layerstoPNG.html
There is one big section dealing with PNG8 which I suspect is the place which needs to be changed. An extraction from this section for example reads:
"var id35 = charIDToTypeID( "Mtt " );
desc4.putBoolean( id35, true ); //matte
var id36 = charIDToTypeID( "MttR" ); //matte color"
Thanks.

Lightroom export order

I am exporting a set of wedding pictures to a file. In Lightroom I have moved a number of pictures around so that they are in chronological order. When I export the pictures end up in their original order. I guess they are in numerial sequence. Any suggestion in preventing LR5 from resequencing the pictures?

Not sure how to do this ... an additional extension...
You need to make the sequence number the prefix, so files are named:
001 my first file.x
002 my seond file.y
etc.
Lightroom exports in order (first one first, second one second, and last one last), but the device you're using to view them (e.g. OS) is displaying via alphabetical order, or can.
So the prefix assures alphabetic order is same as exported order, and hence same as order in Lightroom.

Use of Import and Export script

Hi,
Can any one tel me what is the use of Import and Export script.
After moving the pages from / into server what is the need of giving the import / export command.
export /oracle/apps/ap/setup/webui/customizations/site/0/SetupPG -rootdir <destination path> -username <data base user name> -password <data base password> -dbconnection "(description = (address_list = (address = (community = tcp.world)(protocol = tcp)(host =<hostname> (port = <port id>)))(connect_data = (sid = <sid>)))".
Thanks in Advance,
Jegan

And Export/Import is also used to move personalizations and substitutions from one system to another system.
You can also use Functional administrator UI to export and import pages.
Functional administrator in turn uses export/import internally.

New tutorials and export script

Hey All,
As much as I loves me .Mac account for its ridiculously easy iPhoto publishing, I've reached the point where I want to be able to have fun with server-side scripting (PHP, Ruby, etc.), so I've moved the tutorials and such to a new location:
http://www.motionsmarts.com
I've got a couple of new tutorials there, as well as an AE-to-Motion position keyframe export script, for those of you desperate to move that tracking data. It's no-frills, but it seems to work well enough.
Have fun, and please post if you find any errors or typos. Thanks!

Amazing, Specialcase!
Will try the AE position exporter as soon as possible!
Keep those great things coming
PS: Do you think it would be too hard for a non programmer like myself to customize the script? I would love to modify it to export Soundkeys or AE's built-in Convert audio to keyframes data to Motion! I mean, I could copy that data to AE's position and then export, but position has two dimensions and the audio level data is unidimensional....
Thanks again.

Lightroom Export Presets Missing!

I have tried the restore presets under preferences and doing a repair as an installation option but neither restored Lightrooms presets. I am using V2.6. Any ideas on how I get the Lightroom export presets?

I assume that "OP" is slang for "other person."
I am experiencing two problems:
1. Firstly I am missing presets
a. By presets I mean
                a. keyword presets,
                b. filter presets, and
                c. custom develop presets.
b. "Just missing presets" constitutes a great deal of effort for me, and it should be for you, since it's an issue that has been raised since to LR 2 and has been raise in CS4 as well.
2. I've also lost all my watermarks and am unable to recreate watermarks that actually appear on export files.
For the record I am using LR 3.2 64 bit beta with Windows 7 64 bit
I've been using them for months.
This problem occured yesterday for the first time.
I have backedup, as recommended by LR, several times.
Restores have not helped.
There have not been any recent system updates.
The only plug-in I use is the export to zenfolio.
The watermark problem is not related to the zenfolio plug-in, I have the same issue exporting to hard disk without the plug-in.
The watermark editor does not show the choosen graphic as it last time I checkede (several days ago.)
I don't understand why keysets are not part of the backup...
Are they not part of the catelog?
Feel free to ask me all the questions you want, but please help me resolve this issue.

Exchange 2010 GAL Export script working from EMS but not as a scheduled task

I have been asked to get a script together to export the GAL on an Exchange 2010 server and then email it to a manager. I have been playing it with days, and have pruned it to the very minimum to at least try and get it working before improving it. At the
moment I have the text as below:
Del c:\GALexport.csv
Get-Recipient -ResultSize unlimited | where {$_.HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled -eq $false} | Select DisplayName,PrimarySMTPAddress,sAMAccountName,alias | Export-Csv "c:\GALexport.csv"
This works just fine in Exchange Management Shell and deletes the previous report before creating a new one. However, when I set it up as a scheulded task, it does nothing.
The task is set up as follows:
Action - Start a Program
Program/ Script C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe
Add arguments -version 2.0 -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto; d:\Scripts\GalExportReport.ps1"
This is set to run under my administrator account with the highest privileges and I have the logon as batch right.
Unfortunately, when I run it as a scheduled task, nothing happens. The last run result is (0x0) and in the history it says 'task completed', but no report is produced. Can anyone advise please?

Does it delete the c:\GALexport.csv file? If not, then its not even executing the ps1 script...
- Open cmd prompt and run below command to confirm that there isn't any typo or any other small error...
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -version
2.0 -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto; d:\Scripts\GalExportReport.ps1"
- If above works then something wrong with task scheduler configuration...

Can't see Lightroom exports in Photoshop

Hi, I'm having some problems seeing exports from Lightroom 5 in Photoshop CS6 on Mavericks. (I just upgraded to the 5.3 RC and 8.3 RC from the latest normal versions and nothing's changed). I'm temporarily using Bridge as a workaround, but it's a little cumbersome.
The only red flag I can see is that the export options dialogue (original / copy with lightroom adjustments etc) doesn't appear except when I use the export to bridge option. I've tried reinstalling before and that didn't help. Has anyone else ran into this issue and solved it?
Edit: I'm using "Edit as smart object" which almost seems better, but it gives me the error message below when I try to close the document:

Hi,
I think you have to deselect something ! - " a tool is open"
close all tools and then try again and save as jpeg.

[JS CS3/4] onEvent Export scripting question

Hi,
My client wants to have a PDF on which appears the ICC profile selected in the UI PDF Export dialog box from Indesign.
I am thinking about using the onEvent feature but not sure it can help. If I choose afterExport, the PDF will be generated but I wont' have placed the info yet. If I choose beforeExport, I won't know the profile the client wants to use on export :-(
The only safe way I see is to rebuild a full PDF export dialog box. Hence, i can catch the profile info, place it on the doc and finally launche the PDF generation.
Am I wrong to think so ?
Thanks for your advices.

Hi and thanks a lot for your input,
It worked.
It seems that the script didn't like I ask it to retrace the path to the desktop by itself. But if I convert the path info to a string it's ok.
This works :
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, (new File('~/Desktop/test.jpg')), false)
This too :
var myFilePath = String(Folder.desktop + '/test.jpg');
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, (new File(myFilePath )), false)
But that fails
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, (new File(Folder.desktop + '/test.jpg')), false)
Thanks a lot for your answer.
