Lightroom 4 Filmstrip issue

How do I get photos to appear in LR 4 filmstrip? The filters are off.

Should you be more of "keyboard guy" rather than a "mouse guy":
F6 toggles visibility of the bottom filmstrip.
(F5 does so for the top module switch bar, F7 for left panel, F8 for right panel)
I just hope this was your issue, and not the other bug (but then you would not have images in grid view appearing either).

Edit in external editor with lightroom adjustments issue LR5 and PS CC

Since several days when I try (in Lightroom) 5 to edit an adjusted file (NEF, JPEG or TIFF) in Photoshop CC as external editor (with the option "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments") in many cases the adjustments ar not visible in photoshop CC, or only partial visible, and sometimes the file opens not at all. Removal of the preference files of LR 5 and PS CC and a whole new installation of LR 5 didn't resolve the issue. I have a macbookPRO with Mac OS 10.8.5 and the most recent versions of LR 5 and PS CC. Has anyone experienced this problem and what can be a solution.

I have no idea, but have you tried File / Catalog Settings/ General tab: Relaunch and Optimize. Relates to the database.

Lightroom 4 issues

I have installed the upgrade of lightroom 4 and windows 7 will not open it stating there are compatibility issues. What do I do?

Did you have 3.x before? Is 3.x still working?
Did you run the installer as administrator?
Does LR 4 not even open or when does the error occur exactly?

Lightroom tether issues.

I shoot events where lots of folks line up to get photographed and I use LR to aid in getting the best shots and allow the clients to select their favorites.
I own a Nikon D700 and tether it to my recently purchased a Dell Inspiron Laptop with WIn7, I-5 processor, 6GB ram & 640GB HD using LR3.2 RC
I bought this computer to solve what I THOUGHT was a problem related to my old Gateway Win XP 2GB laptop.
Turns out the problem reappeared on my brand new zippy Dell.
Lightroom just stops working.
Last Saturday Night I was humming along on my new computer, allowing clients to select their favorite image(s) to be sent out later.
Humming along right until I hit image #112.
Then my client said: "Hey, where are the rest of my images?"
Sure enough, they weren't on the computer. and they also weren't on my camera.
Now the LR tether control bar reported "No Camera found."
OMG!!!
Had the 15ft USB2.0 cable come loose?
I spent several minutes checking my connection. Still no camera.
Yikes!
I got out my spare USB2.0 Cable and switched it in. Still no camera.
I replaced my still showing good Nikon Camera battery. Still no camera.
I turned LR off and on.
Restarting LR may have worked the first time, but it definitely did not work the next time.
(I think I tried purging the LR cache,but when you are staring at a problem like this,
and people are lining up and some are leaving you don't remember everything you did,
but I had "NO CAMERA FOUND" several times that night and tried everything more than once.
Ultimately: Rebooting was the only solution. (Tick-tock, tick-tock.)
(Meanwhile using the LCD on the back of the camera to show folksw their photo choices.)
After rebooting I could get another bunch of images loaded using tethered capture until it happened again.
(Maybe another hundred images or so - this occured around 4-5 times Saturday night.)
So now I am convinced it is not my computer.
I am now CONVINCED that what is happening to my computer(s) is that LR that is causing the problem when my computer stops recognising my camera.
This has happened every time I have used lightroom to download & view images on the computer.
Since this has happend to me before, I keep trying new ideas. but LR keeps failing.
Is it a "memory leak"?
Maybe it is time to get another program.
(Open to suggestions!)

I am a photographer who started recently experiencing similar problems with tethering my Nikon DSLR's to LR3.
First, a quick overview of my systems:
- I am running LR v3.4.1 on both of my 2 x MacBook Pros.
- My new (3+ months-old) unibody MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.6.8.
- My older (2.5 years-old) unibody MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.5.8.
- I own a Nikon D3 and a Nikon D3x.
- Both cameras are up-to-date with the latest firmware, which is v.2.02 and v.B:1.01 respectively.
About 6+ weeks ago, I was shooting in my studio -- tethering my D3x to my new MBP using LR3 -- when I received an Apple OSX error message saying (something about) the USB port drawing too much power.
**I apologize that I cannot recall the exact USB error message; I was confused as the computer was virtually brand new and I had never seen such an error message before. I should have noted the exact phrasing of the error message, but unfortunately I did not.**
From that moment onwards, for the rest of the shoot, the camera would only intermittently connect/tether to LR; it kept dropping out and images would not download to the laptop. Thinking I had a camera USB cable problem, I shot the rest of the job on my CF cards instead. And, to be honest, as I was very busy that day and then traveling overseas on holiday for nearly a month the very next day, I didn't think too much of about it again.
About a week ago I had my first commercial shoot since returning from holiday. Thinking I had a camera USB cable problem the last time I shot, I got a new camera USB cable for this shoot. I then used this new cable to tether my D3x to my new MBP, and it worked without fault throughout the entire 2+ hour shoot. By this time, I had all but forgotten about the USB error message I had received a month prior, and -- believing I had solved the previous issue -- I had well and truly moved on.
Then, over the past couple of days, I have been shooting another commercial job with my D3x tethered to my new MBP. The setup worked fine for the first 20+ images, but when I stopped shooting to review the work in LR, and then started to shoot again, the new images stopped downloading to LR. Strangely, I did not receive another USB error message; the new images simply didn't appear in LR. However, the LR tether bar still showed the camera connected, as well as displayed the camera's shutter speed, F-stop and ISO, etc. I left the camera turned on, but stopped and restarted tethered captured in LR. The camera appeared detected/connected and the images I had just shot moments earlier (that hadn't initially appeared in LR) automatically downloaded into LR and appeared on the screen.
Weird, I thought, and moved on.
But when I started shooting again after the next break I took, the same thing happened to me again. And it continued to happen all shoot long over the past two days: anytime I stopped shooting to take a break or talk to the models or review the images, the camera seemed to mysteriously "disconnect" from the MBP. Although, strangely, the D3x always displayed as connected in the tether bar alongside it's most recent shutter speed, F-stop, ISO value, etc. However, once the camera had "disconnected", these values were frozen on the LR tether bar and would not change even when I changed them on the camera (as they normally do when tethered). And, again, once I stopped and restarted tethered captured, the camera was immediately detected again and the images I had just shot (that hadn't appeared in LR) automatically downloaded into LR and appeared on the screen.
Frustrated, I tried using different USB ports on my MBP. That didn't help.
So I tried changing my camera USB cable again (to another new back-up one I had). That didn't help.
So I tried changing the USB extension cable that I was running between the camera's USB cable and my MBP (to a back-up one I had). That didn't help.
So I tried changing cameras and tried shooting with my D3. That didn't help.
So today I tried deleting LR3 and reinstalling it again (only LR v3.0.0). That didn't help.
So I upgraded LR to v3.4.1.). That didn't help.
Then I tried the exact same set-up -- shooting tethered on my OLD MPB running LR 3.4.1 and it's older operating system OSX 10.5.8 -- and using all the various iterations outlined above (e.g. using both USB camera cables, using both USB extension cables, using both my D3 and my D3x, using both USB ports on the old MPB, etc) and was simply unable to replicate the problem. Tethering both my cameras to my old MBP worked fine across all variations; they never "froze" or "disconnected" at any point.
Well, the problem MUST be with the USB ports on my new MBP, right?
Well, I am not convinced the problem is with my USB ports. This is why...
- I've never had a problem in the past 6+ weeks (since the initial error message) with any of my USB ports on my new MBP.
- And I've never had the USB power error message appear again.
- The USB ports sync/charge my iPad fine.
- The USB ports sync/charge my iPhone fine.
- The USB ports operate my mouse and my printer fine.
- The USB ports operate my memory sticks and external hard drives fine.
I even called Apple Support the other night and told the tech support person my problem and she helped me to reset the PRAM and NVRAM, but it still didn't help.
And, the real kicker (and most confusing/frustrating thing for me): as I sit here, I've had my D3x tethered to my new MBP using Sofortbild (a Mac tethered shooting application) for the past two hours and it works perfectly: any images I shoot tethered to my MBP using Sofortbild download without any problem. The application never freezes. The D3x never stops working. I can shoot 25 in a row, take a break for 5, 10, 15 minutes and return and Sofortbild and the camera will still work fine. Exactly the opposite of LR3 on my new MBP.
I have wracked my brain, and the only thing that is different between my old MBP and my new MBP is the OSX version (10.5.8 vs. 10.6.8). So perhaps there is a bug in the latest OSX that is causing this problem with LR, and when I recently downloaded an update to OSX it somehow started this issue? I have to believe the USB error message I received is simply a coincidence, as the USB ports work fine for everything else (including tethering my D3x to my MBP right now using Sofortbild).
Does anyone else have this issue? I am exhausted by this and welcome any insight or assistance that anyone might have. I am stumped, but certainly open to suggestions to solve this issue. The whole reason that I bought a new MBP was for faster tethered shooting in LR. Now that it doesn't work, I am clearly upset.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Lightroom print issues with Espon Stylus Pro 4900

I'm having a weird issue with my StylusPro 4900 + Mavericks/Lightroom
My prints keep coming out 1/3rd their normal size.
I spent the day troubleshooting and no luck
Using LR4 ad now CC LR + Installed all the updates.
Uninstalled old the old drivers and reinstalled new.
Restarted several times.
Cleaned up the OSX stuff and more .
I have been using Epson's for over 10 years but have never run into an issue like this.
I'd appreciate any ideas or help!

Not hearing back about the details of your "success" with the Epson driver install, I can only assume that it really does not work correctly - as is the case with everyone else I've read about trying to use the 2200 under Snow Leopard.
The only work arounds are two, and neither is satisfactory:
1. You can turn off Color management in the first photoshop print dialog and then select the color managed option in the second - this defaults to the printer's drivers instead of using those in photoshop. The result is not right - the colors and brightness are noticeably off - but it is "less unbearably horrible" than what you get if you try to print with the correct workflow: Photoshop manages colors in the first dialog and No color management selected in the second.
2. There is a Gutenberg driver for the 2200 that theoretically could let you print without the Epson printer drivers. However, I have yet to encounter anyone who has gotten this to work properly so that it duplicates the color results formerly achieved with the Epson driver and photoshop managing colors under the earlier versions of the OS.
This is not a good thing. Many of us who rely on the Epson 2200 are not suddenly and without warning and with no word whatsoever from Epson... just plain SOL...
Epson should at least say something about this. Their statement could be "we will not support this printer under Snow Leopard" (terrible policy, but at least we could all go out and shop for new HP color printers...), "we are updating drivers for this (these?) printer(s) and will have them available shortly," or even "we are looking into this problem and will respond shortly."
Right now the silence is deafening. There isn't anything at the Epson site addressing this issue at all, and there is no way to follow up on it from the page addressing Snow Leopard compatibility.
Poor show, Epson.

Lightroom Sync Issues

I am sure this topic has been beaten to death, but I have yet to find an answer.
First off, my sync speeds are painfully slow. I have 50 Mbs down and 5 Mbs up on my ISP so speed isn't an issue on my end. I tested my connection speed while Lightroom wasn't even open and very little network activity was taking place.
Now, Lighroom has been stuck on the same photo count in the "status" area showing the sync for hours. I have tried restarting Lightroom a couple times to restart the connection with no luck in getting anywhere.
Has anyone found a solution to this? I really want this sync between Lightroom desktop and mobile to work, but so far it seems to be great in concept.
I am using Lightroom 5.5 on an iMac running Mavericks.

I'm not entirely sure what status you're in right now from the thread - whether you stuck in his sync or it's slow?
And what steps have you taken to get into the situation you're currently at? You're syncing a lot of images, so did you just start sync by logging in, then selecting all these collections for sync and then waiting for it to sync? Or have you performed any steps in the meantime? Are you syncing new images both from your desktop to your devices and from the devices back to the desktop at the same time?
According to the log you have been running for ~8 hours and synced ~3000 photos. That's not great performance overall, but it's also not bad enough to make me sure that there's something going wrong here.
If it's just going slowly, does stopping Lightroom and restarting speed things up again? We shouldn't really be getting much slower over time with those image counts, but it's possible there is some issue there that we haven't caught.

Lightroom CC issues

I have installed Lightroom CC on a 2009 21.5" iMac running Yosemite, 16Gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB. I got past the initial installation issue by the suggested method but Lightroom crashes frequently. I have re-installed and this is still the case. Any thoughts? Thanks

My 2009 17" MacBook Pro actually has two GPU - GeForce 9400M 256MB and GeForce 9600M GT 512MB, either of which I can select in OS X Sys Prefs Energy Saver panel. With the 9400M 256MB selected, LR crashing out is frequent. With the 9600M GT 512MB selected, somewhat less-so. Dificult to be statistical about it as I am not using LR CC so much yet as I am doing mostly Photoshop work at the moment. I should also have said I am running LR CC in dual-display mode, with 1920x1200 as the main and 2560x1600 as the secondary (which means mostly as loupe in the Develop Module); that clearly will affect GPU loading also.
LR should not really just crash out if not enough GPU memory, just switch back to CPU to do that render, so there is something Adobe should tidy-up. I don't quite understand the crashing at start up on a "sensitive" image (until navigate away and back) either.

Lightroom comptibility issue with SoftRaid software

Long time user of Lightroom & Photoshop but I need to find out if Adobe has a compatibility issue with SoftRaid Software. After creating a Raid Drive with SoftRaid for my Master Lightroom Photo Library, Lightroom FAILS to MOUNT the drive within its Volumes list when LR 5 is opened?? Spoke with SoftRaid Tech Support and was directed to ask Adobe!

If Lightroom is no longer available from the Mac App Store (MAS), that was an Adobe decision to longer sell it through that distribution stream. MAS versions of apps have no serial numbers, that is an Apple requirement for a developer to sell through the MAS.
If you have a backup of your current Mac installation, you should be able to restore the MAS version of Lightroom from the backup. If not, you will need to purchase it from whomever Adobe now sells it through.

Lightroom & Photoshop Issues with Yosemite

Hi. I am new to this so please forgive and errors or omissions in the information I am about to give below:
Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.101, I have had issues with Photoshop not working properly. I am using the Creative Cloud versions of photoshop and they are up-to-date. The photoshop issue is that after an image is opened, the screen within the application turns completely black. You can't see the image although photoshop doesn't crash. I believe Adobe are looking into this issue.
I have installed the new Safari update tonight and now all of my images in Lightroom are pixelated. It was fine 10 minutes before the update which is when I was using it last.
I have a 2013 imac 2.9ghz intel core i5 with 1TB storage of which half is free
8gb 1600 Mhz DDR3 Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB
I am trying to understand:
- Is my iMac still powerful enough to run these programmes following the upgrades to the IOS and other apps (I would hope so because it isn't that old and cost a fortune! )
- Should I be raising the issue with Apple or Adobe in terms of not being able to use the Creative Cloud Photoshop and Lightroom? I am paying a monthly subscription for the packages but now can't use either of them due to the upgrades.
If anyone has any ideas/suggestions, I would be really appreciative. If I haven't explained the issue clearly enough, please let me know and I can try to elaborate!
Thanks.

Upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4 issues...

I bought both upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4. I downloaded the upgrades on my MAC desktop computer. Everything was fine. When I searched for them in applicatins, it showed both CS5 and CS6 and the same for Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4. Should I delete CS5 and Lightroom 3? Thanks in advance.

Feel free to remove the older versions if you are reasonably sure you have migrated all your files and have no technical issues. Just make sure to run the proper uninstallers, not just trash the apps. Also be warned that you may need to reinstall LR4 and CS6 to fix broken file associations and shared components like Bridge...

Lightroom 5 Issues - please help...

Hi All,
I am new to LR5, but I can't seem to find an easy answer to the following issues, and solutions:
1. Importing photos creates subfolders at the destination despite having the "create subfolder" option unticked. For example - it is creating subfolder "2013" and subfolder under this "2103/06/20". It's either a bug, or there is another folder option to untick somewhere?
2. Syncronising folders. Ok - so I've exported a bunch of photos with destination folder under its parent as "Web". The export was to create websize photos for the main folder. Typically, with an import of different types of folders, I would do this a few times for each type of folder. However, I then find I have to manually right click each folder and synchronise each folder to get it to see the new folder which I told LR to create and export into. This is very frustrating, because if I forget to do it, it would seem there is no "web" folder with photos in it. Does LR have some kind of global "synchronise folders" which I can do in one hit for all folders, or is there some automatic option to click somewhere?
3. I understand the benefits of non-destructive editiing. However, to be able to use the photos I've edited in LR, I have to have exported them somewhere. It's great to use lightroom to find the edited images by filters keywords etc - but then to practically use this it would seem i would need to have created while exporting everything, an identical folder structure somewhere outside lighroom? Because, if I use lightroom to find the images I want to use, then the only way I'll actually find the actuall edited photos is to have a mirrored folder structure somewhere?
So - this seems quite tedious. It would seem for all the benefits of non-destructive editing, and filtering searches, it kinda causes a lot of work to actually use what you've edited!
Please someone let me know if I'm approaching these problems the wrong way - or not.
Thanks
Tom

I don't know
When you do the export, you can choose to have the exported photos automatically imported back into the LR catalog, thus saving you the need to synchronize everything; but before you do that, consider what I write in answer to your question #3
I don't think you need to export everything and then have "mirrored folder structure" of your exports, unless of course you actually need to have permanent and speedy access to the edited photos for non-Lightroom purposes. This certainly isn't necessary if finding the photos in Lightroom and making temporary exports will suffice. Many people don't export much at all; they find all of their edited photos by using Lightroom and not by using their operating system; and when you actually do need to use a photo outside of Lightroom, you export it, make use of it, and then delete the exported photo, knowing full well that Lightroom can recreate it exactly if you need it again. Basically, this is a tradeoff -- disk space being permanently used just in case you need to use the photo outside of Lightroom versus some extra work to recreate the export if you need it a 2nd time in the future. I choose to not export everything and to make my exports temporary; your needs may differ.

Lightroom / CS5 Issues

I use Lightroom and CS5 on an Apple IMAC. Lightroom photos are uploaded to external drive with backup to a second external drive.
I do 95% of all editing in Lightroom and upload to CS5 for special effects, i.e. boarders etc. Upload to CS5 done through "edit in" function of Lightroom. Images are uploading OK most of the time but any editing done in Lightroom is lost. I do get the bookthat asked to upload with Lightroom changes, but this does not resolve issue.
I have also had rejection of uploading to CS5 or NIX software which requires me to re-start computer.
Finally, uploaded images from my travel portable hard drive requesting a backu[ to be made at same time. Backup was not for the upload, When checking backup hard drive serveral other uploads were not backed up.
Thanks,

How odd, you tell us the version of CS but you don't tell us the version of Lightroom you are using.
If you are using Lightroom 4, then CS5 will not understand the LR4 raw edits. So if you want the edits to show up, you have to send the images as TIF, not RAW.

Lightroom loading issues

When I try to open LR 3.6 it open a message opening catalog: dsc03317.jpg.Lrcat. Then it goes to the windows error window. I have tried uninstalling the program and re-installing it but to no avail. I have went to the registry and removed the lightroom folder and then defragged the drive, Installed the program again and still it tries to open open the same catalog. I really do not know what happened to the catalog. I have checked all the folders on the pc. I believe the issue is registry related. All the photos are on a external harddisk, and far as I know the pc has not been shut down. If anyone has experienced this please respond to [email protected] HELP

LightRoom corrupting issue

All of a sudden I'm having weird color issues in LightRoom 5.7.1. running on Mac Yosemite.
I'm getting blue and red spots popping up on my images but the raw images are unaffected and I do not see this issue in Photoshop. Any ideas?Lighr

The reason for this is your have the overexposed and underexposed areas warning on in the histogram. If you look at the histogram you will see the right and left indicators highlighted.
If you click on them it will toggle on and off. The blues indicate areas of total underexposure and the reds totally blown highlights.

Lightroom import issue

Photos are not displayed in library after import from card reader. I have just installed Lightroom 1.3 in a new laptop running vista home basic and the raw images are not displayed in the library although they appear as imported- I am using Canon G9 and Sandisk card reader- In my PC using Windows XP everything is working fine- Thanks for any help.

Thank you Lee for your reply, yes I´m getting gray boxes in the preview and upon import in library, but if you suggest is a video driver issue how do I fix it? Thanks again
