Lightroom 4 and Flickr

Hello,
I try to authorise Flickr in Lightroom 4 and it fails every time. I have tried removing Lightroom 4 from my existing Flickr account but it doesn't exist.
I attempt to authorise, it goes to flickr. All good. I click Authorise and then the follwing page comes:
The webpage cannot be displayed
Most likely cause:
Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have installed.
What you can try:
Search online for a program you can use to view this web content.
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
Thank you
Best regards
Paul

Try doing a repair of your LR installtion. This happened to my on LR5 and this solved it. Somehow a bit of information which tells the browser how to handle the lightroom: handler gets lost. A repair restores it. You may need to have your LR install disc handy.

Lightroom and Flickr ID feature gap

I'm confounded by Lightroom and its plug-ins' lack of support for Flickr's photo-ID.
Flickr photo-ID is a unique 10, 11, or 12 digit number assigned to a photo when it is uploaded to their site.
The number is used in Flickr URLs and by 3rd parties like wikipedia and wikimedia http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=233397357&size=o and Apple's Aperture Flickr ID meta data field. ( The id=233397357 is the Flickr photo Id number.)
Why is this useful? Just type that ID number into a Google search, don't include the word Flickr or ID, you will see that Flickr ID is referenced by at least ten different websites that Google searches! Wouldn't that ID be useful information to have in your Lightroom metadata?
The schemes used by Lightroom plugin developers seem to rely on things in the file names or metadata that can change, (creation date, upload date, filename) When contacted, the LR plugin developers say they can't do something that Apple and the Aperture plug-in developers have been doing for years. Admittedly, it's not an IPTC defined field, but we have plenty of custom fields to use.
The Flickr photo-ID doesn't change if you change filename, caption, add keywords or comments, sync metadata, or do any post processing (including cropping) - other than replacing the file from your desktop. Which seems to me to be safe so that, for example, a URL pointing to the picture above by the Wikipedia article, doesn't suddenly find a pornographic picture there.

Have you tried the third-party Export to Flickr plugin, which has many more features than the Flickr publish service built-in to LR? It provides the Flickr URL via the "At Flickr" metadata field, which you can access via LR's Metadata panel, with the metadata set All Plug-in Metadata. The URL contains the Flickr ID.

Using Lightroom and Iphoto Together

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or provide information on the best way to utilize Lightroom with Iphoto? I have read several posts which are contradictory in regards to importing photos into Lightroom from Iphoto. Some say to export files to Finder and then use Lightroom to import. Others say to open Iphoto Package Contents, make alias and use Lightroom to import. I am a new mac user and would like some clarification before I screw it all up. I like the ease of Iphoto for everyday organization, emailing and flickring but would like to import selected photos or events into Lightroom for processing. Thx a bunch.

What are you trying to do, exactly?
Both LR and iPhoto are photo managers. iPhoto is firmly pointed at the home user with a point and shoot camera, LR is a professional grade application aimed squarely at the Raw shooter.
In either case +they both do the same job+, so using both is a bit like writing your Novel in Word and also in Pages at the same time.
Assuming you want to import pics from your camera, store them, process them and then organise them into albums etc, I would use Lightroom. It's just a more powerful app for the job.
Then, if there's something that LR can't do - for instance, Slideshows or books or whatever - then export the pics you want to use from LR to the Finder and import into iPhoto, or use *_this_* LR plug in to automate the process.
I have read several posts which are contradictory in regards to importing photos into Lightroom from Iphoto.
You need to understand something. Both Application are Databases. A photo needs to be imported before they can even see or manipulate it. While Aperture can read the iPhoto database, LR is utterly oblivious to the iPhoto DB and vice versa.
Some say to export files to Finder and then use Lightroom to import.
This is the correct way.
Others say to open Iphoto Package Contents, make alias and use Lightroom to import.
Never, ever do this. Any slight change to the path of the file and your iPhoto Library is toast.
but would like to import selected photos or events into Lightroom for processing.
Frankly, this sounds to me more like a job for Photshop Elements rather than LR.

Lightroom upload to Adobe Revel no longer supported?!? Future of Lightroom and Revel?!?

Hi,
currently I'm Pro-User of Adobe Revel and I upload all photos with Adobe Lightroom 4 to my Revel account.
I googled a little bit around because I'm not able to upload videos via Lightroom and i found this link:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1162795.
On this page it is said that Adobe will not continue plugin support for Lightroom and Revel.
Could somebody (or anybody - sorry for my english) tell me more about the future of Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Revel?!? Would be great and helpful....
Thanks in advance
Stephan

Stephan hi
yes, there is no way to use the revel plugin from LR anymore.
i am also finding this very strange as both are adobe products & no integration anymore?
i use LR as a database for all my images
and was exporting to revel, only the ones that i need to share
this is very frustrating and unexpected from adobe
maybe they will come up with a new revel plugin
but no official word from adobe yet
i have been exploring various options for sharing like smugmug, flickr etc
but have more faith in adobe, as i have been a LR and photoshop user for many years
just started using revel on free trial account, certainly wont take their PRO service without the LR/REVEL integration
i also feel that revel has been around for couple+ of years
but they lack many basic features, compared to others like smugmug
i understand a new service/app takes time to develop, but by now, they should have nailed it
for eg: if i webshare an album with a friend, he can download the individual 50 pictures one by one
there is no option to download the entire album in one go, very frustrating and very basic feature
seems like this is a hobby project for adobe and they aint investing much into this service
though their annual subscription charges are at par with others like smugmug and probably more than some others
the revel forum is also not very active from adobe's side
they should realise that people like you & me, and many others explore first and then finalise a service for good and stick to it
what if i go towards smugmug and upload all, i wont be changing back to revel, as its a lot of hassel organizing and re-uploading again
if anyone listening/monitoring these threads on adobe forum
please reply

Color space from lightroom to flickr

Can anyone help me with this question....having developed raw images in lightroom, I then may publish some of them on my flickr account. When these images are exported directly from Lightroom to Flickr, are they automatically exported in sRGB?....especially considering that Lightroom is a ProPhoto RGB color managed application. I ask this because I know that people may look @ my images in non-color managed web browsers, like Internet Explorer, and if the images are exported in the ProPhoto RGB color space, the image colors will render poorly on that non-color managed web browser. Are they automatically exported in the web friendly sRGB?? Thanks for your comments:)

Perhaps you could help me with another question. I always shoot in raw and process using ProPhoto RGB throughout my entire workflow. However, 5 years ago, I shot in Jpeg. I couldn't tell you what colour space my camera was set to then. When editing those JPEGS in Lightroom, in what colour space should I apply to those images when I send them over to Photoshop? I know JPEGs already have a colour space applied, but the camera I used then is long gone and therefore can't remember if they were shot in sRGB or Adobe RGB. Also, whatever colour space I do use when exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop, I should set up Photoshop's working colour space to match the image's profile, correct? So, should I apply sRGB or Adobe RGB to my JPEGs when going from Lightroom to Photoshop?? Thanks:)

Lightroom 3 - Flickr Publish Bug

I am experiencing an issue where when I publish images to Flickr they immediately show up as "Modified Photos to Re-Publish" and will not ever move to the "Published" section even though I have not changed a thing.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I am missing?
Thanks!

Although not related to the original post – “Stuck in republish”, which I think is now fixed; here is my take on the situation you are describing -
I suspect there is a bug in the LR software which is still present in LR 3.4RC.
I believe this bug manifests itself in two ways when an attempt is made to republish an existing published photo …
1)      If you are privately publishing and attempt to republish an existing photo, then LR sends a parameter (“Hidden” from public searches) incorrectly and out of bounds in accordance with the Flickr API, and Flickr quite rightly rejects it.   I suspect LR is sending values of 1 or 2 (Hidden or not) for this “hidden” parameter when it should be sending 0 or 1 to the set safety level function.
2)      Probably related to the same technical reason as point 1 - if a non-private photo is republished then instead of the photo continuing to be made available in public searches it is now erroneously made hidden from public searches when it reaches Flickr – again 1 or 2 instead of 0 or 1.   This is somewhat annoying if you go through a re tagging exercise for the benefit of public searching only to find that they are now hidden from searches once re-published.
I have seen no confirmation from any other user of point 2 above despite posting the question here ...   http://forums.adobe.com/thread/796350
Further points …
Since the Lightroom Software Development Kit contains a sample of the Lua code which is used for publishing, I have pointed to the actual lines of code I suspect are in error in this thread which also contains some technical dialog with Matt Dawson a Community Professional …
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/821148?tstart=0
I have raised a bug report with this technical detail, and raised a bug report for each of the two cases I mentioned above.     Hopefully this may result in some action, but I would suggest that if this important to you that you also raise a bug report, as there appears to be, to some an extent, a principle of - they who shout loudest or most often will get priority.
As a side note … to cure the problem for the moment, although I don’t want to use third party software long term, I have adopted a Flickr publishing plugin by Friedl for my private publishing until this is fixed.    If you Google “Friedl Flickr” you will find it.     I have not yet decided to adopt this plugin for my public publish due to concern about the possibility of losing all comments and favourite tagging by other Flickr members – I simply do not know at this point.
It is also interesting that the change log for this Friedl plugin on his web site also describes being tripped up by the same peculiarity present in the Flickr API which probably gave rise to this mistake by Adobe.    The Flickr API may have its peculiarities, but it is well defined and this is a Lightroom bug in my opinion.

Publishing from Lightroom into Flickr broken

Recently the Adobe Lightroom publishing service to Flickr is broken on my PC. I added some photos to my collection for publishing on Flickr, clicked publish in Lightroom, and after some minutes it came back with an error message that it couldn´t contact the Flickr service.The publishing process stopped then. Strangely however, I found on my Flickr account that Lightroom had uploaded the first previously unpublsihed picture, with all tags. So the internet connection is definitely working. However, within Lightroom the photo was not marked as published and not linked to Flickr. So if I tried to repeat the process, and by doing I added another copy of that first photo to my Flickr stream, and then the whole thing stopped again.
My OS is Windows 7, and I am using Lightroom 5.3 with Flickr uploader it came with.
I already reathorized the Flickr connection, but that didn´t help.
Did anyone experience a similar situation, or knows how to fix this? Your help is much appreciated.
Ansgar

Consider trying Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr upload plug in. The work you do to install his code might fix the problem -- whereever it is -- and you'd have an inexpensive and excellent plug in. Might be more effective than poking the Flickr wall directly. He offers Lightroom tools (many chaoices) as donationware so you pick how much is appropriate to pay.
See his plug-ins here: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies
and the pictures on his blog are great fun. He is a good photographer as well as a coder.
I do use several of his plug-ins but am not affiliated with this guy in any way.

Two-way syncing of Lightroom with Flickr?

I've been using Lightroom with Flickr for a long time. Some degree of two-way synchronization between the Flickr plugin (the Adobe one that comes with Lightroom) and Lightroom is possible. For instance coomments are downloaded to Flickr. However there are some strong limitations on this plugin:
(1) Problems arise if you have a lot of Flickr photo sets then you may not want to keep all of them listed in Lightroom but you may want to update them after you post them to Flickr. For instance if you discover an error in a name or want to retouch a photo. This is especially the case if you move to a new computer or do a major upgrade and lose the photo sets listed in the plug in.
(2) If you import photos from another library where you have set up a Flickr album then that album does not get imported to Lightroom in the Flickr publish module. The connection to Flckr is lost!
I'm in no way suggesting using Flickr as a backup but it would be useful to be able to link to existing albums in Lightroom and to locate existing files in the current library or list them as missing so that republishing is then possible. If anybody knows a way of doing this then please reply.
Currently I'm using Lightroom 4.3 on a Windows 7 PC.
Thanks
Marcel

Success! I think I have gotten to the bottom of this now. With the latest version of Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin you can indeed populate both the sets and groups.
The link provided by Victoria to Jeffrey's blog allows you only to populate the "photostream" collection in the publish services of Lightroom.
However further down in the settings of the jf Flickr plugin there is a part entitled:
"Sync set/group membership for photos already part of this publish service".
It gives a warning about this being beta and undocumented, so to backup catalog before trying.
I did this and synced nearly 7000 photos in Flickr in a lot of sets that it automatically added and located the vast majority of them in my Lightroom library, which contains about 45,000 images. It all took maybe half an hour to run, so it was slow (even with a fast internet connection) but worked! I am a happy camper!
A bonus that I was not looking for but discovered is that this plugin will also sync with Flickr groups.
The version I used is http://regex.info/LightroomPlugins2/releases/flickr-20130324.298.zip
Thanks Victoria and Paige for all of your help

I have just sought to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

Hi there
I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these. Instead it just took me to the
adobe page with nowhere visible to update. I then sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
functionality It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe.
I have since remedied the problem as my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that. I do feel that this is a bit
of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.

Printing: Lightroom and Photoshop

Ok...so today I tried to run my first print since getting lightroom. Quick run down on my color management (although I am still learning on this subject as well). My monitor is calibrated with an eye one display. My camera (Canon 300D) is set to AdobeRGB profile. I am running an Epson 2400, Ilford Smooth Pearl paper, with the profile provided from Ilford, and have it set to have the printer determine colors. And I am running Lightroom and Photoshop CS2.
I have been printing with this combonation beautifully for about a year now. I do have one small thing about my setup, even calibrated, my monitor is a little dark, so I must do a small curves adjustment on my final version to get the print to be perfect. I have accepted this (not the newest or best monitor) and just set an action to run before printing.
So, today, I tried to print from Lightroom. The print came out WAY too dark...I mean, my blue sky is a dark purple...odd. So I said, well I need this print, let me move it to photoshop, drop the curve and print from there. Well...the blue came out blue, but the image is still a little dark...I will play with the curve again to see if I can get it right. I don't have a problem with doing this for now, but I am wondering why the images are darker then they used to be, even in photoshop.
Also, can I create actions in Lightroom, something like develop presets that I can run AFTER I am done working on an image that we prep the document for print?
Sorry for the long post...thanks for any help...

So...you're using the canned profile from Ilford...and in Lightroom you've added that via "Other" correct? When you select that profile you are then using Lightroom color management and then you go into the Epson driver under Properties, Mode Custom and then select Off under Color Management, right? You've also selected the correct media that Ilford reccomends with the Pearl paper?
If you hit print from there than that should take care of it. Note however that if you change the page template, it _WILL_ change the print output settings making you update to the profile again.
So far, I get equal output results from Lightroom and Photoshop CS2/3 when using the same profile and printing under Mac or Win. So, if you are _NOT_ getting the same results, your settings are not equal-something somewhere is set incorrectly.

I used to have an OLD Photoshop cd but it has been lost and my program is no longer on cd. I talked with some photographer friends and this is what one of them told me to get: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and CS CC... HELP please?

If you still have your serial number, look at OLDER previous versions http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html

Problem with Lightroom and Epson Printer

I'm suddenly having problems printing from Lightroom. I have Lightroom 1.4.1 installed on an iMac G5, and have an Epson Photo Stylus R2400. I've been using this combination from the beginning with no problems. Now suddenly when I try to print I get an error message that says Media is out or not loaded correctly. Neither is the case. I have tried restarting my computer, the printer and everything else I can think of, but nothing works. I can print from any other application without problems, so I'm assuming it's an issue with Lightroom.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I was going to uninstall lightroom and do a reinstall but I can't find my installation disc. Now I'm at a loss to figure out what to do.
Thanks,
Craig

Try deleting you prefs file and/or print templates.
Lightroom is unique to many other programs in that it saves and restores printer settings. Some bad data may tried to be passes. A "fresh start" might help.

Facebook and Flickr with Aperture on Macbook Pro

I have set up both a Facebook and Flickr account in Aperture. They work great and like how easy they are to use. I do have a problem though.
After using my Macbook, I close the screen and leave it. When I come back and open the screen, sometimes Aperture gives me an error that says:
There was a problem connecting to Facebook.
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -1.)
After clearing the message it comes back in an endless loop. Am I doing something wrong? Should I exit Aperture before closing the screen evertime? How can I clear this error without killing the application?
Thanks.
Mike T4

This is not much help, but I don't think it's an infinitely loop. I suspect the number of times you get the message is related to the number of flickr sets you have in Aperture. If you are patient, and click the OK button enough times, it will go away.
I really don't like force quitting - especially Aperture. I have always been able to "outlast" Aperture by clicking the OK button enough times.
