Lightroom 4 help

When I press Control Z, instead of undo, I get a cross processed image. Several other keyboard keys apply weird settings to my images.
This is happening with the latest LR4 update I think. Can I restore to previous version or fix this issue?

Thanks CSS Simon. I also found that if you chose the Help option, "Lightroom Online", there is a search window at the top of the page. Why they make you go through that trouble is odd. Why didn't they just carry over the same procedure that is in all the other Adobe products like Elements and CS5?
I posted another question with which you might be able to help. The "Edit in..." option doesn't seem to work with the "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" selection. Any clues?
Thanks again,
Joe

Lightroom 5 Help says that to change the size of filmstrip thumbnails: "Place pointer over top edge of filmstrip; when pointer changes to doublearrow, drag the filmstrip edge up or down." However I never get a double arrow. Instead I get a hand icon that allows me to drag the thumbnails to right or left. How can I change the filmstrip thumbnail size?

It works for me. Are you sure you are hovering in the right spot? It's the dividing line between the filmstrip and the Toolbar.

Lightroom 6 help

It is not just Lightroom 6 Help that fails.
It is also lightroom 6 Library Help that also fails.
As well when the work around "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Lightroom Help" is used,
though it works the pointer to the Photoshop/Lightroom cc/lightroom 6 also fails: it starts then fails with:
"expected a dict object"
Lightroom 6 itself runs fine uses the GPU and so on.
Is there a timescale to fix all this and will it require a patch to lightroom or are the links etc; going to fix it?
I have been able to download "lightroom_reference6.pdf" while I was running around in circIes; I just cannot remember how this morning.

After installation trouble with lightroom **please help me**

When i installed lightroom (3.6 and 4) i keep getting this error message that says " unexpected error opening catalog" i can't use or open lightroom< it doesn't give me specific details as to why it's not working. I've tried to update my computer with the services packs that it says in the requirements section when you download and i keep getting an error that won't allow it to update. I've tired using microsoft fix it and system update readniness tool to help update. My laptop is a windows 7 home premium. please help me on to fix this problem

Have you used it before? It sounds like it's open a default - and corrupt - catalog.
You can create a new one and start from scratch by holding down control as you start it.

Tired of color desat when opening in Bridge/Lightroom. HELP!

I am going insane in my attempt to keep consistent color management through all areas. Everything was fine, color was great, prints were matched to calbration, monitor calibrated, and then....I rebooted the computer since I hadn't done so for a week, and when I restarted Bridge, and Lightroom (yields same results), the color immediately drains from the photos. Similar to the screenshot, however when I initially created this screenshot, Bridge was still accepting the color. Now, the desaturation exists in all Adobe programs. (PS CS5, camera raw, bridge , lightroom 3. I feel like I'm going in circles here. I have no clue what could have changed with the reboot. One thing I have noticed is that in Window before a photo image is generated in a folder is shows as a paint pallette. And, when asked in Windows Color Management of the program I would like to use to install a profile, I am give Microsoft Color Management System (which to my understanding is designed for Vista or XP). Tried to delete the program but was denied. Not sure if that has anything to do with it either.
If you have any insight and can help me stop the madness I would be so greatly appreciative!!
Thanks!

Hi Connie,
Let me resume:
Non colormanaged applications (like windows explorer) shows your images right, managed apps like LR and Bridge, which have different cache folders, shows them desaturated, even the previewed NEF.
Putting this together, it can't a problem with the cache, harddisk, CF card. I mean, a cache is a cache, and might needed to be updated from time to time, f.e. when changing the monitor- or image profile. But I expect you always have done this.
That's it - most of the rest (the tests done) provides unreliable information, sorry. I'm aware that to most of them you were forced by others, so don't take my following statements to personal.
Nevertheless I believe what we see partitial is right: some of your images are untagged (at least the PSD we see in one of the screenshots in here)
Untagged images should look the same in IE and Firefox unless you set Gfx.color management.mode to 1 and assign the monitor profile to FF. Per default CM in FF is enabled for tagged images only and by this acts like IE <V9 on untagged images
Untagged sRGB should look oversaturated on wide-gamut monitors and browsers on which you can't apply a profile. Believe that is what you get.
You asked me
I'm confused which photos you viewed of mine that you found to be untagged?
all the images you presented in threads in here are untagged ;-)
Some might think different about that, but IMHO images always should have an embedded profile, even sRGB JPEGs used for web. You already get some hints on that in the other thread and the links to Ballard - even when his webdesign is a bit odd, its worth reading.
I believe your issue is a combination of untagged images, a faulty monitor profile and maybe false handling.
As implied above, personaly I can't trust any of the tests here, because they are (including the browser test I mentioned) not consistant done - I will tell you why.
What you see next are three of the images you provided here, but stacked:
#1 (RGB/8*)*
here the second * indicates, that the image was altered (either bei assigning a colorspace or bei normal editing) after it was loaded and in a colorspace which is different from Photoshops working colorspace, which is indicated by the first *
#2 (RGB/8*)
indicates images colorspace is different from Photoshops working colorspace - that's fine when the working space is aRGB and the image f.e. sRGB
#3 (RGB/8)
no *, no # in here indicates it is in Photoshops working colorspace.
(RGB/8#) at the top would mean it is untagged, but when when colormanagement was OFF in that moment, it also would read as (RGB/8) or (RGB/16) (without an # or *) at the top, but "untagged" in the info panel at the bottom, even when the image has an embedded profile...
On the otherhand - and this is the important part - the Photoshop (import) settings you provided here, tells that your PS is at "preserve embedded profiles" BUT "ask when opening" at profile mismatches. By this you will be asked whenever an image profile mismatches the working colorspace.
The latter should be unchecked, anyway.
So what have you been doing, when you were asked for image #1 and #2? With this settings and since their colorprofiles are different from PS working space, you must have been asked and have assigned a profile different from working space or you haven't been asked (because images colorspace and the working space was the same) and you assigned a different profile initially later.
Or you have changed settings again and again when taking those screenshots....
When you say you see images as untagged in Bridge but in Photoshops info panel as "Adobe RGB (1998)" this can be, when a profile was added (assigned) after the image was imported to PS. Bridge will not know about that until you save the image.
Will say: those of us trying to help, never know exactly what they are here looking at (maybe without realizing)
Do we see a sRGB under an aRGB working space (RGB/8*) for #2? And #3, is this an aRGB image under an aRGB working space or a sRGB image under sRGB, (both would appear as RGB/8)? Or was the image untagged and colormanagement was off?
Seems a bit chaotic, sorry.
At least this is nothing on which I'ld be able to tell for sure what is going on.
Next: the monitor profile you sent to me, turns my U2410 dark and too much purple/reddish.
Of course there should be a differences (different monitor, different environment light and my old eyes), but this is far to much - it hurt my eyes
As far I know, LR internal uses the Melissa color space (which is larger than aRGB) - I wonder what happens when RAW were processed via Meliassa to aRGB with a too reddish monitor profile and are saved as untagged aRGB....?
I also wonder how LR can be configured to export to PSD without they being tagged...? Nevertheless, I was able to reproduce this once. For one of my PSDs the profile was removed, but at the moment I don't know how to reproduce that again.
As said just make sure you images are tagged. But don't just apply a profile to those images already processed, when you don't know what really happend to them - it might get worse.
Anyway.
To solve your prob, you should forget about LR for now and remove the monitor profile made with the Spyder, set the DELL profile which comes with the CD and process images from scratch.
Means straight from NEF in one colorspace only -> via Photoshops ACR (output as aRGB and make sure aRGB is your working space in PS), save them as PSD or TIFF and make sure they get tagged as aRGB. See if it makes a difference (color shift or not), when viewed in Bridge.
If there is no shift, start over with calibrating your monitor. Calibrating means setting the hardware right, by making sure the monitor was set to aRGB and brightness and contrast was adjusted, before you profilling it with the Spyder.
If the problem still exists with this new profile and with images, which were processed by the above workflow and by the new conditions (make sure of that, the already processed images might be messed up) again let some one with an U2410 check the new profile.
If its still have a huge red shift on another U2410, it might point to a hardware fault (either Monitor or Spyder)
@MJOrts
I notice that "Use Windows display calibration" is checked on in your
screenshot.
AFAIK this setting means, that Windows is loading the LUT and not a third-party LUT-Loader, coming with the profiling device.

Lightroom/Elements Help/Updates won't link to web

I have Lightroom 5.6 64 bit and Elements 12 installed on two Windows 7 computers - one is my work and the other my personal home computer. At some point the versions on my home computer stopped linking to the internet when I select a Help function or to check or download updates. One message I get is that I have to associate a program with the file. I tried to figure this out in windows but it is totally obscure to me. Plus since it happens on both applications it must be something with some common Adobe program. I recently uploaded some files with GPS coordinates into Lightroom - they don't show up at all on my home computer, but they do on my work computer and the Map function works fine. Any ideas?

Lightroom 3 help with two hard drives that has missing folders

Ok so I am operating on Lepoard osx using lightroom 3. I have two external hard drives we will call them A and B. I have used the existing catalog for a while in hard drive B. Hard drive A is where I done the most work on photos. I have imported a ton of photos from hard drive A and exported them etc. I'm not sure what happened exactly but, the folders that should be in Hard Drve A are now in Hard B and they have question marks next to them. I then right clicked on the folders in Hard Drive B and located them in Hard Drive A. I then made a new cataloge in hard drive A and closed Lightroom. I opened up Lightroom and told Lightroom to use the new cataloge I created. when it opend the folders were back in hard drive B. What is going on? Can any one help?
Thanks
Calvin

I'm not sure why this is happening to you but I would suggest that you use Mac Finder to make sure where these folders actually are - on drive A, on drive B, or - maybe - on both?
Only when you know where the folders are can you start rectifying the situation in Lr.
If you find that you have folders on both drives - and you don't want that - consolidate all folders into one drive. Do this in Mac Finder but - at this point - do not rename folders or change the folder structure, if you can help it.
When - according to Mac Finder - everything is as it should, open LR and locate all the folders that show question marks.
Also, it doesn't help when you tell Lr to create a new catalog every time something is not right. Having more than one catalog tends to be confusing, and - unless you are very experienced in Lr - brings trouble.
Since your different catalogs are probably contradictory I would suggest that you do NOT merge them to create one catalog. Instead - after everything is fine again - move all the other catalogs into a different folder so that Lr does not find them (but memorize the location). If after a while you decide that you don't need the other - moved - catalogs, you can delete them. From then on, it would be preferable that you work only with one catalog.

Lightroom 4 Help Menu

When I use the Help menu in Lightroom 4, the only option I have is for Lightroom 3 and other Adobe products like Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, etc.. Why can't I get Lightrrom 4 Help?

Note that there is a link to a .pdf download in the upper right corner.
Adobe Help is a little funky in the two other Adobe products I have too. It wants to seach the entire Adobe "knowledge base" for clues to whatever you are trying to look up.
For example, if you have a question about a feature or tool that has not been answered for the current version, but was for an earlier version, it wants to provide that answer.

Lightroom Problem: HELP!

It displays this message: "Adobe Lightroom 5 Cannot be opened because of a problem" - "check with developer to make sure adobe photoshop lightroom 5 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X"
I have done all that and the problem is still the same. Cannot open Lightroom and the same message appears every time I try launching the program. HELP!!!

Yosemite 10.10.2 is still beta. 10.10.1 runs Lightroom so maybe you should contact Apple and see what they broke. Apple (which I use) has been breaking a lot of things for the past couple years.
