Lightroom 3 Tethered shooting and printing

I have a very specific question. I need to shoot guests at a part in a "photo booth" style. I want to shoot tethered directly into LR3 and then have my assistant print the images as I continue to shoot the guests. However, I'm having a problem setting up the workflow. When we are in the print dialog setting up an image to print if I shoot another picture, LR3 automatically updates the working image to the newest capture. Basically this means that we can't simultaneously shoot and print at the same time. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get around this? Thank you, I really appreciate it.
Jacob

I'm at work now, I'll try it when I get home. I spent I don't know how much time looking through the menus for an option just like this. It sounds like it will do exactly what I need it to. Thank you,
Jacob

Wireless tethered shooting and file transfers

Does Lightroom support tethered shooting via the many wireless adaptors such as the Nikon wu-1b? Also can it pull files from the camera through the wireless adaptor? Side question do any of the Adobe mobile apps support tethered shooting? The native Nikon app is severely lacking... Camranger look compeling but that router attachement is a handful.

"Can I be able to transfer digital photos, art files, data,etc. among 4 Macs 1 Dell computers wirelessly via airport connection?"
Yes.
"Also, is it in the Airport software where I enable security settings for multiple computers so no outsiders can log into my airport?"
Yes, you will need to use either the AirPort Utility or the older AirPort Admin Utility / AirPort Setup Assistant, to set up wireless encryption on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).

Tethered shooting and Canon live view

When using tethered shooting with LR3, is it possible to see the live view image (Canon 1dsIII)? I looked for a setting, but couldn't find any.

Jonathan,
No, you can't. Tethering isn't as feature-rich as folks would like.

Lightroom 2 colour difference in lightroom vs. export and print

Hi,
I am currently using Lightroom 2 and Windows Vista, monitor profile is Dell's E248WFP Color profile.
The problem I have is that everything looks fine in lightroom, I was able to see the black backdrop with some defining detail on it. However, when I export the photo (export colour space: sRGB) and view it, the photo darkens, I could no longer see any detail in the black backdrop (I've tried othercolour space like the adobeRGB but results is the same). I understand that there could be difference using Windows viewer as someone has pointed out to me. I tried importing what I've just exported from lightroom back into lightroom and I could see all the original details.
So I am guessing it's just an issue with windows viewer not able to display all the colours intended. I than send the file to "Blacks photography" (photo developing store) for printing and the same issue exists, it's darker than what is displaying in lightroom. Could someone please point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, I bought a Spyder pro 3 thinking that might solve the problem but I think the problem is what is being exported? (not sure)
Photo looks good in LR but after exporting, open the file and looks different in windows photo gallery than what's in LR.
So I tried looking at the exported jpg in LR and it looks good in LR. I assume that's normal as people has mentioned that LR will display more colour and do it correctly. The problem for me than is printing. I send the photos to local photo processing stores and the colour is still off. Sorry for the ramble but here are some of my questions:
I assume it's completely ok that photos look different in LR and windows photo gallery (or even other viewer). As look as it looks ok in LR than it's fine?
Is the problem with a low quality monitor (Dell's E248WFP)?
I might not be calibrating it correctly? (will try again)
Thanks again!!

How Do I Do Tethered Shooting and transfer JPG only to Laptop?

The subject of this thread says it all. Using the EOS Utility (and a Canon camera, of course), I have options to shoot RAW+JPG and transfer both, or JPG Only to the computer. Does Lightroom 5.3 have this ability? If so, where is it?
Thanks in advance!

You can check the list to see if your specific camera model is supported for tether support from the link below. If the specific feature is available another user can provide an answer.

Tethered shooting and jpg+raw pairs

Hello,
Is there a way when you are shooting in tethered mode that Aperture recognizes pairs of Jpg and Raw coming in from the camera?
I tried different configurations in the tether settings dialog box and it doesn't seem to work.
Many thx for your input.
Eugene
<Edited By Host>

Oh you are getting both images in but you want them to be paired. Ah I misunderstood your original post. I thought you weren't getting one or the other into Aperture.
OK so no, this is how tether works. You can call it a flaw I guess but when I am shooting tethered I want to see the image I just shot. If one or the other were hidden it would defeat the purpose of tethered for me.
You can use Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback to suggest to Apple that they change the behavior.

Workflow Lightroom 5: Developing and printing using two computers

Hi, I use Lightroom 5 on my mac to catalog and process my images. My printer, however, is stored offsite. It is a Canon Pixma 100 airprinter and I also have a pc at that location. My question is this: is it possible to set a print on a mac, then transfer it to a thumb drive, and insert the thumb drive in the pc at the other location in order to print? Do I need to have Lightroom on the pc as well, or can I just use the Canon software and not lose printing functionality (templates, paper choice, etc). Would Lightroom Mobile work here? Any assistance greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You're allowed two installs. They can't be used simultaneously.
Probably the easiest way to share a catalogue between them is to put it and your images on an external hard drive. Plug it into the machine you're using. If you can use USB3 or eSATA or FireWire, you'll get better performance than with USB2.

Lightroom 4.2 RC print problems to Canon ipf6300

I have had repeated problems printing this image:
It was originally shot on an IQ180 then converted to TIFF before being loaded into Lightroom for further work. It has a lot of delicate blue colours many bordering on cyan. When I print it to the ipf6300 it always comes out with the blues so heavily shifted towards cyan that the prints are unusable. If I send the exact same file from Lightroom to Photoshop, and print it from there, the results are the same as the softproof image on screen, perfect.
I use Hahnemuhle Fine Art textured paper, with the correct profile and all the other setting are correct, though if I change from 16 bit to 8 bit or vary the quality, the results are the same, as they are if I use Canon's own Fine Art Textured profile.
I am really quite an experienced printer but this one really has me stumped: it can't be a corrupt profile because it works in Photoshop.
Any ideas, fixes, ot just similar experiences from others would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I have the iPF6350, and I am also struggeling a bit, but more with my (of course calibrated) screen not matching the white point of the prints (screen has red tint, compared to the prints).
Also some photos look just a bit different in PS than in LR, esp. yellow/orange tones. To me it seems like PS is (still) somehow rendering the photos in a slighty different way than LR (not only RAWs, also TIFF are shown different), which could explain why results of prints are different, too.
If you want to send me a version of this photo I could try if I can reproduce the problem here - but I have only PS5, not PS6 yet... but anyway it would be more interesting to get it correct in LR (too).
What happens if you make a print to jpg? Are the colors correct then?

Canon 5d Mark III and Lightroom 4.3 tethered shooting issues.

I bought a new Canon 5d Mark III and upgraded my lightroom to 4.3. I have been having issues shooting tehtered. I'll shoot and get some frames coming in and when I start plugging away the program bar will spin and I'll only get a few grey frames and it just kind of freezes. I don't know what to do.

LR4.3 was supposed to improve Lightroom's built-in tethering, but in my experience it still has some reliability problems - especialy in recovering from broken connections (not just unplugging USB but also if the camera loses power by sleeping or when changing a memory card).
Sorry if some of this is basic info, but I'd recommend you try a different USB cable - the cable end that connects to the camera is easilly damaged in a way that makes a connection possible, but unstable (I strongly recommend finding a cable with a 90 degree downward bend at the camera plug). Also, we often have to send a camera body in to have the USB port serviced. Canon has begun to provide a small rubber boot to reinforce the USB connection at the port, but they won't sell the part outside of a repair service. Be sure to use some kind of stress-relief for the cable at the camera. Tethertools sells one, but I've made mine DIY with a little string and a small binder clip... nearly free. Finally, be sure your cable is less than about 15 feet. If you need to go longer, I've successfully tethered with two cheap powered repeaters from Monoprice, but no single link should be over 15 feet.
Oh yeah, also set your camera to not sleep for a long time.
Beyond all that, is using EOS Utility for capture and LR Auto-import a viable option for you? It works very well for me. I use the Apple "Image Capture" app to tell my system to launch EOS Utility whenever the camera is connected - and set EOS Utility to launch into remote capture/camera control mode. It's very stable and recovers from disconnects or camera power loss and the remote camera control/live view can be pretty handy.
Another plus is that if you do need to disconnect USB and shoot to card, you can just copy new images from the card to your watched folder and they are imported to Lightroom with the same settings and location.
The only downsides for me is that there is no way to have a crop apply to new images using auto import -- and I have to re-save my develop preset each time I make a change. Using the "Same as Previous" option under develop settings in native tethering is so great for this and I'd love to see a similar option added to auto import.
Hope this helps.

How can i set up lightroom for tethered shooting with an eithernet cable

So I have my Nikon d4 set up with Nikon Picture control so that it will download to my laptop with an Ethernet cable but it downloads to a file on the hard drive - I can choose what file, etc but what I want to do is take advantage of Lightrooms tethered capture so I can set white balance, set up sessions, etc. LR tethered capture works fine with a USB but a USB is too short and for the life of me I can't figure out how to make it work with an ethernet cable - supposedly it can be done but not by me! Any ideas out there?

Have you tried this article?

Lightroom 3.2 Tethered shooting with Nikon D7100

I have a laptop Windows Vista which will not allow me to upgrade Lightroom 3.2 to 5.3. I have bought a Nikon D7100. Is it possible to
enable the older version of LIghtroom 3.2 to recognise the Nikon D7100 for tethered shooting?
Cheers.

No, Lightroom 3.2 does not recognize D7100 RAW files, and cannot tether to it.

Does Lightroom 5.7 support the Canon 7D MkII for tethered shooting?

I have two computers with LR 5.7. I can not get the Canon 7d II to do tethered capture on either one. The tethering tool bar flashes between " Canon 7D Mk II" and "No Camera Detected". The 7D MkII is not one of the cameras listed on the Adobe web site that will do tethered shooting. Given that LR5.7 supports that camera for Camera RAW, why wouldn't it also be able to do tethered capture? Or is there something else I'm missing?

According to the document Tethered camera support in Lightroom the new 7d II is not currently supported in Lr 5.7.

Lightroom 3.0 / 3.2 tethered shooting with 550d

Hey guys and girls,
Just starting using lightroom and have had success shooting tethered with my 400d and 550d through the EOS utility but when i go to shoot directly into lightroom i can only use my 400d.
Is there anything special I have to do to get my 550d working? or is it just unsupported for tethered shooting?
cheers
Jase

yeah, i tried that approach and it works fine but i think its a bit slow for quickly prievewing the image for focus/exposure.
I have to wait for the pic to be copied across to the computer, and once LR realises its there, it then has to import it into the library generate prievew etc.
Its alright with jpegs but shooting cr2's at 20ish mB a frame takes a bit of time.
Any ideas for speeding that up? my light room catalogue and watched folder are on the same drive so that shouldn't be an issue.
thanks for the help guys. this is great!

Lightroom auto import/tethered shooting strangeness

Hello, I'm trying to work out a tethered shooting workflow for the 1Ds MKIII that can keep up with a fairly rapid lifestyle shooter. I'm on a Windows XP system, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 duo system with 3 GB of ram. I'm seeing this same behavior in LR 1.3 and LR 2.0 beta.
I've followed the steps Martin Evening outlines on his blog (Canon EOS utility in conjunction with Lighroom auto import) here http://lightroom-news.com/2008/02/07/shooting-tethered-with-the-canon-eos-1ds-mkiii/ and everything is working _almost_ smoothly.
When I fire off a single frame with the camera, it takes about 5 seconds for the Canon EOS utility to copy the file to the hard drive and for lightroom to see and move the file from the watched folder to the destination folder. This seems reasonable.
However, when I start shooting at a normal pace (approximately 1 frame a second) it seems like Lightroom stops watching the watched folder until I stop shooting for an extended period of time.
I would have thought Lightroom checked the folder at a standard interval, every 5 seconds or so. However, if I snap, say 40 frames at the rate of 1 a second, Lightroom doesn't realize there are new images in the watched folder until I stop shooting and let the camera's buffer empty out.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone know if there is a registry hack to force lightroom to check the watched folder more frequently? Even better would be a hook, like a command line switch, that tells LR to check the watched folder immediately. The EOS utility 'linked software' preference could be configured to call this hook, and would result in much snappier performance.
Thanks for the help,
Andris

Hi Andris,
It strikes me that you have hit the maximum buffer that the combination of the Windows OS, EOS Utility and Lightroom are capable of managing. As you will have read in the report, I was able to fine-tune the tethered import to a rate of 3 seconds per capture image. This was with an Intel iMac 2.8 GHz duo core running Windows XP with 4 GB RAM. So a little faster than your Windows machine, which would explain why my download tests were faster.
Look at it this way. There is the usual buffer of up to 12 frames on the camera in raw mode, which when combined with the 2 seconds it takes to transfer say, 25MB data from the camera to the computer via USB 2. This means that you can shoot at a rate of 1 frame per second, but will soon hit the camera buffer first in around 20 seconds or so at that rate. it takes about a further 1 second for the files to auto import into Lightroom and as you point out, Lightroom appears to do this in bursts. How to speed that up, I don't know. What I do know is that any background activity will slow down the import. On a shoot this week I was busy building an export of high res JPEGs from the catalog as I was shooting more downloads and as one would expect, this did affect the performance.
It would be nice if the tethered shooting could be made faster, but as far as I am aware, this combination is the fastest yet and certainly faster than downloading from a card. As for Capture One, I don't know yet if they have managed to get tethered shooting sorted out for the MkIII.
