Lightroom 4 automatically applies presets to all imported pics - How to deactivate that?

Hello
When I'm importing pics in Lightroom 4 (no matter if RAW or JPEG files) all picture get automatically convertet into B/W and some grain etc. is added - I guess an preset (BW Nr 4) is applied automatically to EVERY pic I'm opening.
How could I solve that problem?

In the <Import Dialog> on the right side in the panel <Apply during Import> make sure that <None> is selected.
If you only see the small Import Dialog you have to expand it to see <Apply during import> by clicking on the small triangle in the bottom left corner of the dialog box.

  • Where are all my pics from my iphone that are suppose to have been backed up in icloud

    where are all my pics from my iphone that was suppose to be backed up to icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • How do i prevent lightroom from automatically applying a star rating to my images during my import?

    i have consistently imported images, apply my metadata preset, location(folder).
    i then scroll thru my filmstrip and apply star ratings.
    suddenly my images are appearing with a one star rating automatically.
    not sure why?

    The first place to check is your Metadata Preset you are applying on/just after import. Is it applying the stars?

  • Lightroom 5.3 automatically bumps up saturation on import. How can I prevent this?

    I did a quick screen capture, and as you can see, the picture on the right (saturated) is the "unedited" version in lightroom, and the picture on the left is the raw file opened (used IrfanView). As you can see, my original file is quite flat, and I like it that way (easeier to edit), but lightroom imports it, and when I click on it to develop, it adds saturation. If I wanted to make it look like the origianl, I have to manually bring down the saturation by ~ -30! Why is Lightroom auto adjusting my images?
    Also, please note I have not experienced this issue before, just recently started.
    I used a Canon 6D to take this picture.

    Quote
    "Thanks for your reply. This is an ongoing issue, and from what I have been reading, Lightroom doesn't recognize "User Defined" picture styles. This is kind of odd, because I see the RAW files differently when I open them outside lightroom (with Windows picture viewer, IrfanView etc), then when I open them in lightroom. The original RAW files appear to have the "user defined" picture style that I have selected."
    This is where the confusion arises.
    a. You are quite correct Lightroom does not recognize "user Defined" picture styles. Lightroom is third party software for processing raw files from digital cameras and apply their there own profiles for processing the raw file data to produce a viewable image.
    b. You cannot view raw files unless the data is processed, what you may see when utilizing other software like (Windows picture viewer, InfranView etc) is the imbeded jpeg file produced by your camera firmware and included with the raw file data. With the Lightroom rendition you see the "Lightroom Chef's rendition of the raw data".
    c. Why would you purchase a third party software package at an additional cost to provide you with the same rendition that the software provided by your camera manufacturer provides for free. Adobe is about providing you with an alternative option with lots of additional opportunities for improving the rendering of the raw data.
    d. The rendition produced by your camera firmware and their software is propritory and their own "recipe" which they believe is acceptable and pleasing to the user. It is not accurate or superior to other software renditions.

  • How do I automatically apply preset by camera and ISO?

    I'm using LR 4.  I would like to set up noise reduction / sharpening presets for my cameras by ISO (for RAW images only) so that when I import the photos the correct ISO preset is applied.  I swear that I used to do this back in LR2 but I cannot remember how to do it anymore.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Turn on "Prefs>Presets>Make defaults specific to ISO".
    Reset on photo and sjudt its NR and sharpening.

  • Opening RAW File from Lightroom is automatically saving a PSD or TIFF. How to turn this off?

    I recently upgraded to LightroomCC and Photoshop CC however now when I go to open my RAW files from lightroom it is automatically saving a PSD copy when the file is opened.  I don't want it to do that because I don't need those files - for some of my stuff I just need to open the file, edit, and save a jpg when done.  This was not a feature on the older version of Lightroom and I can't find any place to turn this off. 
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • I would like to upgrade from Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5.  Will I loose all my presets?

    When you install Lightroom 5, all of your presets (Develop module, metadata, print, etc…) will all get moved over to Lightroom 5 automatically.
    You may want to search the forums about presets from LR 3 (PV2010) and PV2012, a place to start is http://forums.adobe.com/message/4224108 as there are major differences between the Process Versions.

  • Lightroom keeps changing default import location; how to set it once and for all?

    Hi all,
    I'm on a mac, and coming from iPhoto. After migrating to Lightroom, I made is so my photos imports from my camera into "/Pictures/LightroomMasters/year/month/day".Now, suddenly, I noticed that they end up in "/Pictures/year/month/day".
    I really want Lightroom to keep importing everything inside the "Lightroom Masters"-folder, without me clicking to that location everytime I attach my camera. But going through the Preferences, and Catalouge-settings, I can not find the equivalent of "Default import location". Is there such a setting? Or is Lightroom meant to remember where is imported to last, and keep on using that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andreas

    It seems to remember the folder structure on my system. But I'm running Windows 7. I just tested it by inserting a memory card and importing the images on it, I don't connect cameras to my computer, to my E drive and to a folder named Pictures 2015. I had LR place these images in a sub-folder of that Picture 2015 with the date in the format of 20150201 and which these picture were taken on the 30th of January so the folder was 20150130. I then closed LR and reopened it and took some more shots around the house and then imported those. LR import dialog went right back to that E drive \Pictures 2015 folder and placed those newer images in a folder named 20150201.
    So it remembered which drive and which top level folder it was supposed to. Not sure it it would work with a secondary sub-folder under the Pictures 2015 folder.
    To be honest I rarely use the import from memory card feature of LR. I don't care for the naming conventions it offers. I do use the Adobe Photo Downloader applet that comes with PS Bridge as the naming convention in that creates sub-folders with just the month and day in this format 0201. I don't need the year tacked on to the front of that sub-folder name, although it can do that, as I store all my images by years to begin with. Then I import to LR from those folders the APD app creates.
    If you are using more than one camera it might remember for each camera so from now on it will go back to the right folder.

  • How do i set preferences in LR 2.4 to convert  all imports to DNG?

    How do i set preferences in LR 2.4 to convert all imports to DNG? Is there any downside to doing this automatically?

    There isn't a preference for automatically converting to DNG, instead you choose Convert to DNG within the File Handling section of the Import window.
    Within the Import section of the Preferences panel you need decide how the DNG files are to be created. The following screen shot is probably the best choice for Lr 2.4 and later.

  • I'm having contacts problems. I just updated my iPhone 4S iOS to 6.0.1. And after that, I started having Contacts problems. My contact list is disappearing automatically, and I have to Import SIM everytime, to bring the contacts back.

    It all started after updating my software to iOS 6.0.1. Contact problems, disappearing automatically, and I have to IMPORT SIM everytime when it happens, to bring my contacts back. And this is happening more when I'm using Whatsapp application. Every two hours using Whatsapp, my contact list is dissapearing, I'm seeing only numbers. I thought it was an Whatsapp problem, but after that, when I go into my Phone's contact list, I can see nothing ! Empty ! So I guess it's a software problem or something. Please help. Thank you.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • How do I make the plugin run automatically when a photo is imported?

    I am trying to write a new plugin where the metadata will be automatically added to the photo when I import the photo in the Lightroom.

    As John said, there is no mechanism to receive notification of import. The likely recourse is continuous polling (unless you get very creative..).
    You can try optimizing. e.g.: every second (or less), see if the count has changed, if it's gone up, something's been imported, if not then probably not (check anyway once in a while..).

    How do I save the custom metadata with the image file?
    Lightroom 5 has the limitation, plugin  cannot link the custom metadata fields to XMP file or save them with image file.
    So, is there any alternative way to save the custom metadata?
    Yeah: Lightroom won't save custom metadata in xmp, nor read it if it's there, so you are pretty much on your own - you can save in a file, but if you save as non-standard sidecar Lr won't attend to it like it will jpg or xmp sidecar. For that reason it's often better to save in a separate dedicated location. You can save in image file itself, e.g. using exiftool if raw file, but that would make me nervous, and of course you'd have to have the logic to read it somewhere too..
    Good luck,

  • Mail won't automatically apply rules to messages in "sent" folder

    The title says it all. Is this a bug? Mail lets you set rules for items in the "sent" folder, but apple won't automatically apply the rules like it will for all other mail. You must highlight your "sent" messages and click "apply rules." This is quite annoying. Am I missing something.
    Thanks,
    Jake

    Once you send an e-mail it gets time stamped, from what I know this timestamp can't be modified. I too have received e-mails with the wrong timestamp. In some mail clients such as Yahoo Mail and Gmail what will happen is that you will get a new message notification but the email won't be at the top of the inbox but rather somewhere down the list. This happens as e-mails are sorted by their timestamps when they arrive to your inbox.
    Hope this helps!

  • Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    I actually found under  EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.
