Lightroom 4 Beta

In the new print module, there is a very interesting section for Print Adjustment. I can not figure out what it does (how to use it)
In Windows 7 64 bit, it does not appear to do anything - at least on the screen. Perhaps it is not yet implemented in Beta I downloaded Jan 11th 2012.

  • Can't Uninstall Lightroom Beta

    Lightroom ver 1.0 will not allow me to install it. I get an error stating I must uninstall an earlier version 1st. Problem is when I attempt to uninstall beta 3, it looks for the installation package which has been deleted. The error I get is "a network error occured while attempting to read the file lightroom beta\lightroom_b3_standalone_07-18.msi.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Adobe Lightroom Beta...

    I have been running the Adobe Lightroom Beta since the beta released. I am wondering about two things:
    1. I heard that BETA testers are getting a greater discount than the public rate of $199.00 how do I go about getting this discount? Does anyone know? Also, I have had a problem with is re-exposing my images. There are no defaults set, however as soon as I import and image and click on it is adjust the levels automatically, making the tones more dull and the lighting much darker?? Any input regarding this, I would love to hear....
    ~Jessica

    You can get it at a discount of $169 by using following promo code - Macworld07
    It was suppose to expire on 2/19 but it still works.

  • Aperture vs Adobe Lightroom (Beta 3) JPEG exports

    I've been beta-testing the Adobe Lightroom product and comparing it to Aperture. I'm using Aperture 1.1.1 on a MacBook Pro.
    Lightroom has some intriguing features, but I've noticed a wildly different color when exporting the same image to JPEG format from Lightroom and Aperture.
    I took the same RAW image from a shot I took with my Nikon D70 and exported a JPEG from Aperture using default settings with no color adjustment. In Lightroom I exported the same image to Photoshop, and then exported a JPEG with default settings and no color adjustment.
    Look at the difference:
    https://www.carsonmedia.com/projects/softballphotos/phototests/photocomparison.h tml
    Can anyone explain the difference? Aperture seems to export a JPEG that resembles the original.
    I'm perplexed at the difference.

    Yeah, looks like a colorspace issue -- I'm guessing Pro Photo, but it might not be LR's fault. Last I checked, LR actually exports PSDs, not JPEGs, in Pro Photo space to PS. So 2 possibilities:
    1. LR incorrectly tagged the PSD output, so PS doesn't realize it's Pro Photo.
    2. You didn't do a colorspace coversion in PS before saving the JPEG. Try using 'save to web' in PS -- it usually takes care of the sRGB conversion for you. Does it look correct in PS before the JPEG export?

  • Uninstalling lightroom beta 3 sample version

    Can not install adobe lightroom 1 due to message saying that a previous version has to be uninstalled.
    I had already uninstalled previous beta 4 version.
    While trying to install the new version, it keeps telling me to find the
    beta 3 sample 7-18.msi version in order to allow me to install!!!!
    Already removed info from registry. how or where can I solve this problem.
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

    Your catalog, previews, and all of your images should remain intact. All you should have to do is uninstall 4.3 and reinstall the earlier version and you should be good to go.

  • Upgraded from Lightroom Beta which was on a hard drive which has failed now want to install my upgrade unto new hard drive.

    When lightroom first arrived on the scene, it was in the beta stage and had unlimited free access.  I liked it and when Lightroom 2 came out I upgraded from Adobe.   That was on my old computer whose hard drive has failed.  So now wish to install my Lightroom 2 on my new computer.    It asks for the Original serial # which I do not have access to.   Since my original version was a beta how can I get a serial # for a version 1.0 ?

  • File size difference between DNG Converter and Lightroom Beta 4

    Hi,
    I want to go the all-DNG route and am trying several things ATM. I want my files to be as small as possible, thus I disable previews and RAW embedding and enable compression in DNG Converter. In Lightroom, there are no options at all. What I do get, are pretty amazing file size differences:
    Original .NEF as it came from my D70s: ~5MB
    .DNG created by DNG Converter: ~1MB
    .DNG created by Lightroom: ~4MB
    The very small file size in DNG Converter is the one that bother's me most. I get these small files from time to time. I checked both the DNG and the NEF in Photoshop, and they seem to be identical. So my question is: What triggers these small file sizes? Do I loose anything? Or is the Lightroom DNG converter not as advanced as the stand alone version?
    Maybe this helps: I get the ridicolous small files for very dull subjects that tell the computer scientist in me that it should be easily compressable by common compression algorithms.
    Thanks for any pointers,
    Markus

    Thanks for the hint! It did make me revisit those files and now I see the reason for the small file sizes: The Apple Finder does note update the file size view once a file was added to a folder. Here's what I did:
    Opened a folder full of .NEFs in detail view in Finder.
    Converted them using DNG Converter
    Looked at the sizes of the files as they were shown in the Finder window allready open.
    Unfortunately, those file sizes are not correct. If I open a new Finder window of the same folder, file sizes are correctly reported as between 3.5 and 5 MB.

  • Lightroom Beta 3--Slideshow Problem

    I am unable to change the order of the slides/images in Slideshow. I can drag the images, but the image "snaps back" and the order does not change. "Help" says you should be able to move images if you have a "collection" without a subfolder, and I do not have a subfolder. Any ideas?

    The beta forum is at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/lightroom3
    In general if you are in a collection(but not a smart collection), you should be able to drag and drop images to create a user sort order.

  • Camera Raw 5.5 VS Adobe Lightroom (color correction)

    Hi, does somebody know if discarding the advantage of making layers of Photoshop, is the Adobe Lightroom color correction controls superiors to the CameraRaw PS Interface correction controls ??? I mean for color correction purposes is Adobe Lightroom  better tan PS's  camera raw interface ???? because for me both controls seem to be pretty much the same thing,  does anyone know something about it ??
    Thank you in advance !

    Both Camera Raw (most recent version) and Lightroom (most recent version) share the EXACT same processing pipeline...however, there are subtle differences in usability. For example, ACR 5.6 has a Point Curves Editor...Lightroom doesn't. Lightroom has a powerful capability to control output size and resolution which Camera Raw doesn't have...
    Bottom line is they are two horses of a different color but each is capable of performing the same tricks...so use whichever app allows you o accomplish what you need to do in the shortest and easiest process...

  • PS CS3 random errors with Lightroom folder when making contact sheets

    When I make contact sheets in Photoshop CS3 of photo files in a folder of images exported from Lightrom Beta 2, it places some of the pictures randomly across the contact sheets, especially when I have more than 60 or more images. The first shot will always show at the end of the set of proofs 5 across, 6 rows down, but some images from the end of atake will end up scattered across the other sheets. If I make a set of contact sheets from images in a folder of the original images, not worked on in Lightroom, they come up perfectly. What can I do to fix this? I had it working OK in Lightroom Beta 1. I'm Working in PC XPSP3. A thousand thanks in advance. Cliff Moore

    First, LR3 final has been released.
    This doesn't seem to be a problem of LR, rather Photoshop.
    Why don't you make the contact sheet in Lightroom?
    Why do you think the order is incorrect. Did you check the file names? I guess the order depends on this.

  • Raw, Adobe DNG codec, LR Beta 3, frustration...

    As an advanced amateur photographer, I decided that my New Year's resolution would be to stop shooting JPEG plus supplementary Raw on my Nikon DSLR, and to use only Raw. Also decided to try LightRoom Beta 3 (not a LR user previously; I use Windows Live Photo Gallery). Finally, also decided to use DNG instead of NEF to facilitate cross-application compatibility (ie, I like the idea of a non-proprietary datafile format) and to avoid creating sidecar (XMP) files for keywords. I use Windows 7 Pro and Home Premium on an Acer Netbook and Dell Inspiron notebook computer, although I've only created the DNG files on the netbook so far.
    It's been a sinkhole of time to get working.
    Once I had created some DNG files from the NEF files using LR3, the computer performance deteriorated completely. Eventually found that CPU was pegged at 100% utilization, and that SearchFilterHost.EXE was the culprit. MUCH sleuthing revealed that going into Windows Control Panel > Indexing Options > Advanced, and unchecking the DNG file type allowed the indexing to proceed to completion. When the DNG files WERE allowed for indexing, then the Indexing Options dialog box showed that the indexing stalled at some point; if the DNG files were DISALLOWED, the the indexing completed normally.
    Secondly, when I opened Windows Live Photo Gallery, it showed that it was creating thumbnails (presumably the DNG files), but that it was proceeding at about 1 file per 30 seconds. The CPU was pegged at 50% during this time. Eventually all the thumbnails were completed, and CPU utilization dropped to a few percent.
    In both cases, Windows Resource Monitor revealed that Adobe's DNGCodec was associated with the stalled/slow process.
    I installed the latest DNG converter from Adobe, but the DNG Codec remained unchanged (version 1.0.0.2, dated from 2008). The DNG codec does not appear to have a recent version on the Adobe website.
    Next, I uninstalled the Adobe DNGCodec, and downloaded and installed the third party codec from http://www.ardfry.com/dng-codec/Download.htm. The thumbnails in Windows Live Photo Gallery were generated at a rate of several per second, and the Windows Indexing Options proceeded without hanging up, although it was slow. It's definitely working better with the third party codec.
    Searching the forums reveals that lots of people are dissatisfied with the lack of a 64-bit DNG codec from Adobe. This problem seems to have existed for over a year, maybe even two years. I don't use 64-bit Windows, but the codec problems are in 32-bit, too. How can Adobe expect users to adopt DNG as a standard when they provide such poor support? It's crazy that end-users should have to seek out, download, purchase, and install a codec from a third-party supplier in order to get reasonable performance.
    Adobe: please fix your DNG codec.

    Thanks to you, jackfrombc, for for proofing my concerns about why indexing loads my CPU so much after I install some new soft, and DNG codec among it. Now I'm able to switch indexing back on on my combuters not being afraid of it eating laptops' batteries.
    Thank you, again.
    ps. sorry for poor english, in advance.

  • Lightroom 1.0 and size restriction (limit)

    Does anybody know what the size limitation is in the new version ?
    I personally think it is a design flaw that users cannot use Lightroom to catalog large files. I understand that doing any adjustments or the like could be too much for the program to handle , however : if one only wants to have a thumbnail and preview , ( I would use Photoshop ,as I assume anyone working with large files in general would, to do any editing) Lightroom fails. As a result , the developers put in Lightroom beta 4.1 a feature that creates a "unable to read these files" folder. I found this to be a weak compromise for a program hailed as an "all inclusive tool for the professional photographer" This says to me , "you can use Lightroom if you only have small files"
    Most contemporary photographers I think would agree that although not the norm , at some point someone requests a mural for a fine art exhibition, commercial application, billboard, etc. resulting in large file sizes. I don't understand why they would want you to have to switch back and forth between bridge and Lightroom and keep track of two databases. I had provided feedback and user requests as did others concerning this issue.

    Interesting responses everybody. I do think LR is a good program as I have been using the beta as well as Aperture and comparing the two. Extensis Portfolio , although not a "developing" program from the beginning had no size limitation in its cataloging. It extracted(or created) a thumbnail, generated jpg previews and automatically updated changes to files each time the program was started. In contextual menus you could export a copy, open in PS, and various other commands right out of the program without hogging memory. Nobody has offered an educated reason for the size limitation. Can it not manage memory ? Ok, maybe not, but that doesn't mean it couldn't at least catalog the large files. If this is the case , my suggestion would be to implement a "lock out" feature that would not let you "develop" large files in LR but could still generate and update thumbnails and allow you to organize them within your filing system. Then you could at least manage versions and changes within LR with out having to switch to Bridge or the like. Making JPG versions is not a good workaround.. to assume people only have a "few" large files to keep track is very one-dimensional thinking. I personally know of several mural photographers that work exclusively with digital cameras/backs , are they not considered a valued target market for LR ?
