Lightroom 4 Post-Crop Vignetting.

Hello,
I have lightroom 4 on a Mac.
In Develop mode > Effects > Post-Crop Vignetting the Highlights slider is greyed out.
I have tried different priorities , all positions of the sliders.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Victoria,
That is the answer, a negative value.
I moved all of the sliders but did not move this one back into the negative.
Thanks for your help

  • Clarifying my question from last pm, re: how do I get LR to stop applying post-crop vignette at time of import to all my photos?

    I work on a Mac, shoot in raw, and download directly to hard drive from my camera. I then import images into Lightroom using the "copy" function.  For some reason, Lightroom is systematically applying a post-crop vignette to my photos, I am unable to turn it off.  Happens regardless of lens I shoot with.  Can anyone advise how to change this?  I have tried re-setting the vignette to zero before importing, but that does nothing. Regards, Barb in Virginia

    Go to Preferences and reset your Default Develop Settings if you want to reset for ALL cameras and file types.
    If you want to reset the default for a single camera, in Develop you can hold the Alt key and the "reset" button will change to "set default".  The following dialog will appear.  Click "Restore adobe default settings"
    You should then not have vignette being applied.

  • Can the post crop vignette be changed to the original vignette effect?

    I must say I'm surprised and disappointed that the post crop vignette uses a different effect to that of the original lens correction vignette.
    I can't figure out why this has been done & to my eyes, it's very inadequate.
    Is there any workaround, or can this feature please be changed in a future release?
    What makes it worse is that this was one of the reasons I made the upgrade to Lightroom 2.0... But I really can't use this effect as it stands.

    The original lens correction vignette functioned like a lens vignette would--by lightening/darkening exposure in the corners of the image.
    the present post-crop vignette appears ot be an overlay of either black or white, with variations in opacity, size and feathering. Consequently, it very much has the appearance of a post-processed mask overlay.
    The big areas in which I see differences between these effects are 1) in the highlight regions. Whereas the original vignette would restore some of the blown out areas in a highlight, the new post-crop vignette only greys out these areas with a darker or lighter region (no detail), and 2) in areas of color--instead of seing a restoration and accentuation in color (eg. in a slightly blown-out sky or background), the new filter further greys this area with the application of a black/white mask of varying degrees of opacity.
    It is my opinion that the original filter had a certain class to it in the way it would replicate lens effects. The new filter looks like a photoshop effect, and in a way, sadly, that I really don't have a great use for.
    I hope that clarifies some of the things I've said.
    Can we see a restoration of the functionality of the original vignette to the post-crop version in any upgrade to Lightroom 2.0?

  • Fixed 5.2rc: ...images processed with PV2003 were adding a post-crop vignette...

    From the release notes:
      "Catalog containing images processed with PV2003 were adding a post-crop vignette when catalog upgraded to Lightroom 5"
    Does that mean all my PV2003 images (10,000+) now have a post-crop vignette included in their edit history?  Or some?  Or some special combination?
    I converted my v4.4 catalogue a couple of days after v5.0 was released, so I really don't want to go back to my old v4.4 catalogue and re-convert...
    Any ideas?

    The "fix" works as follows:
    1. If you use LR5.2 RC to upgrade a catalog containg some PV2003 images, there will be no issue....i.e. you will not see the unexpected "Post Crop Vignette Style: Paint Overlay" entry in the develop History.
    2. If you open an LR5 catalog which was created by upgrading from an earlier version using LR5.0, any PV2003 images will STILL show the "Post Crop Vignette Style: Paint Overlay" entry in the develop History, BUT it will no longer have the problem of losing all intervening history steps should you click on a prior history step.
    3. Any already-lost history steps caused by the problem in LR5.0 will remain lost.

  • Req: Dynamic post-crop vignettes

    So after asking around and doing many many reverse-engineering tests, I've come to the conclusion that the post-crop vignette is missing a couple basic functions that would make it a lot more useful.
    Here's what led me down this road: I had an image that I had processed several weeks ago which included a PCV. Recently I wanted to print it as a gallery wrap. When the print is wrapped, you lose about one inch from every side to get around the wooden frame. So that means you either just lose part of the image, or you go back and add a margin, so you're only losing something you didn't really want anyway. I was luck in this case because I could recrop the image I had processed to add back some space around the area I wanted. Unfortunately, when you re-crop the PCV relative to the pixels in the image changes.
    After all my testing, I realized there was absolutely no way to get the image I started but with a additional inch on all sides.
    The issue can be resolved in either, or both, of two ways. The first way would be the simplest for the user. Simply offer a 'lock' option, which when enabled locks the PCV effect relative to the image, and as the user changes the crop, Lr adjusts the values dynamically. The second way would be to allow a more arbitrary range of values for the PCV settings (or more exact value scales). After my testing, I came to understand quite precisely how changes in the amount, midpoint, and feather values affect the effect in relation to the size and proportion of the image. I had charts and tables so I could accurately predict what values would be required to achieve a static effect when the crop dimensions change. That wasn't enough though; because of the limited range of values the PCV tool offers, the values I needed were simply unavailable. The issue is that even when amount/midpoint/feather are set to their most extreme vignetting values, they don't offer a way to affect the entire image.
    Take for example this situation:
    There's a 1000x1000 pixel image
    It has been center-cropped down to 500x500 pixel
    The amount = -100, midpoint = 0, feather = 0
    I know have a circular mask in the middle of my image whose diameter is just about 73% (about 362px) of the length of the images sides.
    If I were to re-crop the image back to 1000x1000, there is no way to achieve that same vignette (a 362px radius circular mask). The values are already maxed out. I realize in this situation there would be a lot of completely dead space, and it would make sense to just crop the image down. But this is pretty simple math that, if the attribute values weren't so limited, would be easy to achieve, and would provide much more continuity within the PCV tool.
    I feel like the best solution would be to redetermine the value scales; maybe this can be done behind the scenes to not destroy the integrity of the current-PCV-processed images. The amount value scale is fine as-is. The midpoint value should be reclassified as 'radius' and represent the furthest  distance from the center of the image that is unaffected by the vignette. The feather attribute should allow value entry in pixels; if it makes more sense in the Lr ecosystem to keep the default scale to be 0-100, that's fine, that can represent 0%-100% of whatever you want (image dimension, mask radius, etc), but since there's no size attribute to compare the percent too like in the brush tool, there needs to be a more exact method of defining the value. Roundness is the biggest culprit in this whole mess; it's trying to do too much with a single slider. The PCV tool should offer two options, round or square. Round should allow you to define how elliptical the mask is, ranging from perfect circle to maybe a 3:1 ratio of major to minor axes or whatever you want. Square should allow the user to define the radius of the corners of a rectangle with the same ratio as the crop.
    The new system, while different, isn't any more complex than the current system, and would allow those who don't need precise control the same WYSIWYG experience, but allow for much more fine-tuned control when required.

    Chris,
    I confess I did not read every word of this (sorry), still:
    - I like your idea of breaking the roundness into the two sliders: "general shape" and "corner shape" or something.
    - a work-around to lock vignette: re-export into lightroom - I do this all the time to lock PCV - mostly for applying another PCV over it...
    (I realize you don't want to have to do this all the time, still its a possibility for a workaround for now - maybe you already thought of it...)

  • PS CS5 Extended - post crop vignette in Camera Raw 6?

    The post-crop vignette sliders don't seem to be under Lens Correction in this upgrade - can anyone tell me where they are please? Thank you.

    You probably need ACR 6.1.  Check the Camera Raw forum.

  • Where are post-crop vignetting controls in ACR 6.7

    Post crop vignetting was added into an earlier version of ACR (in CS4), but this function does not appear under Lens Corrections in my version of ACR 6.7. Where are these controls now?

    Under fx, at least in 7.1.

  • Lightroom 5 applying post-crop vignette at import of raw files

    I download raw NEF files directly from my Nikon D7000 to hard drive, and then import to lightroom 5 via the import and add functions.  I do not have any presets set for apply at time of import.
    For some reason lightroom is systematically applying a -35 vignette to all images I import. It does not change with lenses.  Can you advise how to de-activate this?
    regards
    Barb in Virginia

    Go to Preferences and reset your Default Develop Settings if you want to reset for ALL cameras and file types.
    If you want to reset the default for a single camera, in Develop you can hold the Alt key and the "reset" button will change to "set default".  The following dialog will appear.  Click "Restore adobe default settings"
    You should then not have vignette being applied.

  • Lightroom 5.5 Cropping tool so SLOW update to fix?

    I recently upgraded to LR 5.5 with help from Adobe support with the technician taking over my screen, soI'm confident it's all been upgraded and installed correctly.
    But when cropping rotating an image it takes 3 secs to catch up what I have done. Over a 1000 photo wedding to edit this can be a serious waste of time.
    My computer is very good. iMac 2013 with 32Gb RAM.
    Anyone else having thos and more importantly found a fix for it?
    Are ADOBE aware of this bug and are they bringing out an update?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    <Before optimising catalog>
    I've tried using the upright tool and it's as snappy as ever. I've also tried manual perspective transformations, and they seem to be just as fast as they were before the upgrade to LR5.5.
    I've also tried a handful of other operations (Vignetting, Post Crop Vignetting, Tone Curve Adjustment, Radial Filter), and they all respond at a decent pace. So currently, yes it's just cropping/rotating that are moving slowly.
    <After optimising catalog>
    I can't be sure whether I'm imagining it or not, but crop/rotate do seem to be a little smoother/faster. I was getting the "rainbow wheel" previously, and I'm not getting that now - there's just a brief pause while the image appears to re-render, and then we're underway again.
    Again I might be imagining it, but it seems as though the drag/delay is greater when I'm cropping down significantly - slight downsizing of images doesn't seem to result in as much of a delay as massive downsizing by cropping.
    I'll carry on like this and see whether there's a sustained improvement.
    Many thanks for your help,
    Vineet

  • Photoshop CS6: Question about Resolution when Post-Cropping Film Scans

    Hopefully, somebody with more understanding than I on this topic, can help me with this.
    I am about to get a film scanner I have on order, to scan in 35mm negatives. I've had one before but I had problems with the model and had to return it.
    When scanning film frames, I like the idea of setting the scan area marquee, at the scanning stage, so that it scans slightly beyond the film frame edges, so that I can carefully crop to the edge of the film frame later, in Photoshop CS6, rather than setting it, at the scanning stage, and then later, when examining the film frame in CS6, maybe discovering that I have not scanned to the edge of the film frame quite enough, as I can easily zoom right into the image when in CS6, to carefully examine where the film frame edges are.
    My concern about doing it like this, though, is that I may be reducing the resolution of the image. For example, say I scan a film frame in at 3600ppi, and later crop the image slightly in CS6 in order to precisely trim off any slight amount of black around the film frame edges. By cropping the film frame like this in CS6, am I reducing the image resolution of the film frame to lower than 3600ppi? As I best understand it, I do not think post-cropping like this results in any reduction in image resolution, but am I correct in thinking this?

    Hi.
    The scanner is a Reflecta ProScan 7200. As I said to station_two, I am in London. I understand the brand is known as 'Pacific Image' over in the US.
    The scanning software I will be using it with will be 'SilverFast Ai Studio 8'.
    Do take a look at this excellent review of the scanner:
    http://www.filmscanner.info/en/ReflectaProScan7200.html
    (I may be incorrectly assuming too much when on these forums that I am speaking exclusively with folk from the US - the way you spell 'labour' makes me think you are not from the US?)

  • Lightroom 4 custom crop boundary area display

    We post hundreds of sports photos at a time.  We set a custom crop 7.5x10 which most closely enables all our supported print aspect ratios (4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc.).  We have to be careful that the important photo elements are NOT in the boundary area inside the crop.  I mean we need to keep space inside our standard crop so that regardless of which print size you pick that the trim (either top/bottom or sides depending on the print) will not cut of important photo elements.  It would be very helpful if we could have Lightroom 4 display this boundary area with some type of shading.  That way when we do the crop we can see if an important photo element is in the boundary area, and then we can increase the crop.  Our objective is as tight a crop as appropriate while preserving the boundary area.  A visual cue would be most helpful with this work. 
    I'd appreciate suggestions about how to accomplish this if it is already possible or have Adobe engineers add the visual cue for a configurable boundary area inside the crop.

    I understand what you are getting at. I went into PS and created a series of shape layers at the specified ratios and then centered them. I then expanded each proportionally so that there long side was 10 inches. On a portrait oriented photo there is a portion on the left and right that cropped on a 5x7 or 4x6. I tinted the shapes and then masked out the center area. I then save this as a .png file with the intent of using it as a watermark. This worked but is an after the fact confirmation.
    While in the crop tool you can press the "O" key and rotate through different crop guides. The last one is a grid. (works the same in LR3) When I had the crop aspect ratio set to 7.5 x 10 (which LR4 simplfied to 3x4) this shows for me as a 12 wide by 16 long grid. Coincidentally, the crop danger zone appears to be very close to exactly one grid in width.
    I don't know if this is a "close enough" solution for you.
    **** I'm glad I didn't hit send before going back and looking at LR4 again. This works on a full size image with a maximum size crop. But if you starting shrinking the crop the grid size changes. Now if Adobe could maintain the grid so it ALWAYS shows in say 10 percent increments, then your danger zone would always be the left most and right most 10 percent.

  • Photoshop doesn't show Lightroom settings, like cropping

    Hello,
    - I'm on Mac OS 10.9.1 (Maverick)
    - I have a scanned tiff file inported in LR 5.3
    - I do some adjustments in LR, like cropping, curves, etc...
    - I choose "Modify in Photoshop CC", with the top option "Modify a copy with lightroom settings" (supposed translated command from french versions)
    - A file is opened in PS CC last version (14.1.2)
    - The opened file doesn't show the LR settings (the cropping is not applied, for example)
    If I export to tiff in place of modifying in PS, the generated tiff file is correct and includes all LR settings.
    I use Photoshop since the beta version and LR since 1.0 and I'm an experienced user.
    This is something that seems to have appeared only a few weeks or month ago (Maverick ? LR 5.3 ?)
    I tried a lot of things but this keeps happening.
    Any idea ?
    Many thanks.

    My problem seems to be now resolved.
    - I uninstalled PS CC with the uninstaller
    - I restarted my Mac
    - I reinstalled PS CC from the CC menu
    - Opened LR, chose Edit in PS CC
    - picture opened correctly in PS with all LR settings
    - I then reinstalled my third party plugins, one by one
    - the culprit was one of the Nik Software (now Google) plug-in.
    I did several times the uninstall reinstall operations to be sure and it is clearly confirmed.

  • Lightroom 5 changes crop history

    so I keep having a problem where I crop inlightroom, get a photo all set, move on to the next one and then come back and it automatically reverts back to the crop before the final, so I have to go back one stop in the history to where I actually left.  I am not sure why it is automatically undoing my final crop but is SOO annoying! Anyone have a clue how to stop it?

    Chas Clark wrote:
    Also, in Lightroom 5, when I go back using 'History' and find a version I like; how do I lock that in.  That is how do I ignore/delete the most recent changes I no longer want?
    You can go to the history step you want and make a small change like +1 clarity and then -1 clarity and it will get rid if the history steps above these steps.
    Another way is to use ROB COLE's "Clear Top" Preset.
    Create an empty preset called "Clear Top" by going into develop and hitting the + button in presets and when the dialog opens clear ALL the checkboxes, name it Clear Top, and then hit Create.   Find the" Clear Top.lrtemplate" file and open it in a text editor and change it to look as follows.
    s = {
              id = "1111111111111",
              internalName = "Clear Top",
              title = "Clear Top",
              type = "Develop",
              value = {
                        settings = {
                                  NoEdit = true,
                        uuid = "1111111111",
              version = 0,
    The id and uuid will be different so leave them alone.   I you created a truly EMPTY preset, the only thing you will have to add is the
    NoEdit = true          line.
    save the edits to the same file name and reload lightroom.   Make sure ONLY the above code is in the listing although with different id and uuid numbers so you won't be applying other settings.
    From now on, you can just hit the "Clear Top" preset and it will clear all history steps above the one you have chosen.  This is my most used preset!!!!    Thanks to ROB COLE for this idea.

  • LIGHTROOM 4.3 CROPS MY CR2s ON IMPORT WHY IS THIS?

    Hi there,
    Is it something to do with my settings or the fact it's a file from a canon 650d? I have tried to troubleshoot and had zero success. I get the image preview which looks fine, then hit import and watch my nicely compossed portrait loose the top and bottom of the image. Is there a solution now? as the most recent posts about this kind of thing seem to be dated back to the end of last year. It would be great to be able to edit the image in full. Cheers.

    From Canon's Website
    "EOS 650D can not only shoot at the current 3:2, but also can shoot at aspect ratios of 4:3 1:1 and 16:9. This allows users to match the playback environment for displaying the images.  Images with any of the aspect ratios also be resized"
    It is likely you have set your camera to capture in an other than the stock 3:2 Aspect Ratio. If you are using LR 4.3, you should be able to reset the crop in the develop module to retain the missing areas.  Check your camera's settings to make sure you aren't shooting in one these modes.
