Lightroom 4 won't save color correction to .R3D file

Really didn't have problems until export. I'm amazed with how fast Lightroom plays playback on .r3d files. Anways after all the color correctrion is done I try to export the file to its original format (r3d) but upon playing the file in Red Cine-X, non of the color corrections I made are saved. It's as if I didn't edit the file at all. However if I choose to save the file as a H264 and play the file, all my corrections are saved. So it only doesn't work if I choose to export my file as the original R3d format. Anyone know whats wrong or how to solve this?

Hi mikey,
LR never writes to original files, and it does not do sidecars for videos.
So in order to view your LR adjustments outside LR you need to use a format which LR can write to, like H264.

How to batch process (color correct) multiple MXF files?

Newb here with a question I cannot find an answer for. I'm very new to CS5.5 and am very frustrated with something that should be a simple procedure, at least it was with my last NLE.
I am shooting amateur hockey games using a Canon XF100. Typically I shoot at 720 60p and with all the starts and stops of the game there may be 30-40 MFX files for a game. I'm having no problems importing into CS5.5, the files all show up on the timeline.
I want (need) to be able to color correct ALL these files at once using the fast color corrector and/or the 3 way color balance. For the life of me I cannot seem to do this and I cannot find any answers despite many hours of searches.
Last night I did (after much mucking around) manage to 'nest' the files and do the color correction but when I went to export to Media Encoder (to render as MP4 file) I kept getting error messages and was unable to proceed. This happened 6 times, the encoding would start and then after about 20 minutes, and some progress, it would give me an error message.
Can someone please, pretty please!, explain a simpler way to do this? I feel like I am missing a very obvious step and I'm probably just phrasing the question incorrectly.
Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, you're doing it exactly in the right way. I just nested a sequence and applied the Fast Color Corrector to the nest and it exported beautifully. Could you try nesting and color correcting a short sequence with clips other than the MXF files generated by the Canon XF100 using the same methodology? I'm trying to see if it's your footage is the issue or something else.

Where does Lightroom save color correction info?

I'm having a problem with Lightroom in the way it saves the color correction information attached to a raw file.
I'm using raw files off of an external hard drive, color correcting them and then saving that whole folder to my internal hard drive.
The problem is that after I disconnect the external hard drive and import the folder from my internal hard drive, none of the file conversions I just made are showing. This is extreamly frustrating and time consuming as I'm adjusting about 1000 files at a time.
Why is this?
The external drive is my client's so I have to find a way to get the color corrected raw files on both drives.
Thanks to anyone that can help

Here is my work flow:
Working on 1 computer in 1 version of Lightroom that is set up to save the Catalog on my internal hard drive.
I attach client's external drive and use the Lightroom Import dialog to add files to catalog without moving (they stay on the external and I edit them there).
Working in Lightroom I make the adjustments to the CR2 files that have stayed on the external drive.
"At the end select all the images and save metadata to file." I believe I have missed this step. I though Lightroom did this automaticly.
Is this my problem?
After making the adjustments I selected all of the files from the external and copied them to my internal drive, however I did this outside of Lightroom.
This may have been a problem also.
If my catalog has been stored on my internal drive the whole time why did the developing information not get saved to it?
"You can also do this by exporting a catalog file from the source machine to the external disk and then importing
this catalog into the target machine."
Using this technique in the future could I do all of this?
1. edit the files directly on the external drive
2. save the metadata to the files
3. export the files (though lightroom) onto my internal hard drive
4. have the raw files on my internal hard drive with the saved development made to them and be able to open them in lightroom and see them adjusted
5. have the raw files on my client's external hard drive with the saved development made to them and be able to open them in lightroom on another computer and see them adjusted
Thanks again for all of your help!

How to save Color Correction Setting as a file?

I'm new to premiere pro cs6. Is it possible to save a color correction setting as a file? So I wont have to manually adjust every Video file I insert to the timeline to match the previous. Help Please. Thanks.

To expand on Jim's comment, as this is a semi "non-destructive" editor, meaning the things you "do" to a clip don't actually change that clip on the hard-drive but are stored in the project files for that clip until you export the project ... this program is built around storing the details of the effects and then applying them in real-time to footage as you edit it.
So use that capability. Build up your modifications of the original footage in layers and that way you can turn on/off various parts of your "looks" as you want and as it makes it easier to work. Planning out the layers of effects/changes is a good part of mastering the tools available in PrPro.

Color correction with .mts files

Hi,I´m editing .mts files in premiere pro, but I want to do the color correction in a diferent program, but since must of the programs don´t support mts files, what would you recomend? after that, I want to get back to premiere to finish my worflow, but I don´t wan´t any compression, any advice? I would love to correct in Da Vinci..

YOu want to color grade this in DaVinci...which doesn't support .mts...but you don't want to recompress the footage into something that DaVinci will work with? You don't want ANY compression? Not possible...if you want to go to DaVinci. You will need to compress to something it recognizes, and then guess what? You will compress again when you render out of DaVinci...but if you send ProRes or DNxHD the recompress won't really have any degredation.
or use Speedgrade...

How do I load color corrected RMD (RED) files in CS5.

I have edited RED footage in cs5.
I now have received color corrected RMD files - however I don't see the color correction on any clips in the timeline.
What do I need to do to make sure edited footage (R3D files) on the timeline reflect color correction.
I tried replacing footage, it didn't work - if I import the R3D again, apply the cuts and place on timeline I see color correction but I am sure there's a better way to do this. Any pointers will be great.
Thanks.

The following text from Adobe seems to indicate that there is "more" with CS5.5:
(taken from: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.displayTab2.html#REDSupport)
The RED R3D Source Settings dialog box in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 offers extensive control over the look of RED raw footage. In conjunction with the ability to change color settings per clip, you can save combinations of adjustments as custom presets, which can be applied to individual or multiple clips. The controls in the Source Settings dialog box include:
Debayer Detail — Vary the level of detail extracted from the image sensor.
Chroma — Denoise the red/blue channels.
OLPF Compensation — Eliminate color Moire fringes by controlling the optical low-pass filter (OLPF) that refines edge detail.
Maximum Bit Depth — Use this global setting to choose between 32-bit float and 8-bit.
White Balance — Manipulate Kelvin, Tint, and Saturation levels.
Timecode — Select the timecode track to use from the R3D file.
Color Settings — Adjust the ISO setting, exposure, red, green, blue, brightness, contrast, and highlight levels.
Color Space — Select the desired color space from among Camera RGB For RAW; Rec 709, the standard color space for HD; and REDspace, which is a more saturated variation of Camera RGB.
Gamma Curve — Override the gamma curve selection using several preset gamma curves.
User Curve — Use a custom curve created by the camera operator.

Batch processing web pages from jpgs made from color corrected Camera Raw files

I processed and color corrected a set of photos shot in camera raw, then saved as tiffs. Then I set Photoshop to Batch process them into a web slide show. The images turned out looking like the raw files before processing....kind of desaturated, since they were shot on a grey day. So then i re-saved the raw files as jpgs and hypersaturated them to see if that would produce better results, but it did not. They looked almost as grey as the original raw files. I usually add saturation to files that will end up on the web, because ImageReady always seems to desaturate color.
I'm running Mac OS4.1 and CS2.
Thanks, Suzanne

Suzanne,
Try
converting your images to the sRGB color space before processing and/or saving them for web display. ALWAYS. Remember to use CONVERT to profile not
assign

Vector to png - image won't save as correct size

Working in CS5
I have a vector image that I need to resize and save as a .png.
I first create an artboard to the correct size I need (55x20 pixels), shrink my vector image to fit and then export to .png using the artboard as my boundaries (so that I get the correct size).
Problem is, the resulting file is not 55x20, it is 229x83 (when I open in Photoshop). I can't figure out why the file is not saving to the correct size.
I have also tried opening the file in photoshop and resizing down, but that doesn't work either. My image becomes very distorted.
I don't generally work in pixels or pngs...what would be the best program and process to do this. It doesn't seem like it should be so difficult, but for some reason it is!
Thanks!

That woudl be the result if you had chosen 300 dpi. Make sure you choose 72 ppi
If you still haev trouble you can use save for web rather than export.

Safari won't save or export a pdf file which otherwise displays correctly.

I can download a pdf item (form) and safari displays it correctly. however, if I try to save it or export it as a pdf, the resultant file is empty. Chrome works just fine. This is not unique to just one downloaded pdf file.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Lightroom 5 won't save my changes

Lightroom 5 I downloaded Monday July 28 2013 , the day I downloaded it , it worked perfectly fine I even saved my file settings as " original" , and then the next day i Imported a picture , made changes to it , and attempted to save it. I saved the file as Jpeg, & Original , But neither of them would save my changes I even Did a manual of saving a Meda data to file and opening the catalog settings and enabled " automatically save changes to XMP" And then exported again. but that didn't work either http://prntscr.com/1i554u I tried re starting my Windows laptop , but That didn't work either. Is there any solution to this?

A few days ago I imported A picture at random I downloaded from the internet , I saved it to a random folder i created in " pictures" from My laptop. I opened Lightroom 5 And clicked " Import" > opened the Folder and Since only one picture was in the folder it showed in lightroom , So i clicked Import and it loaded into library , I switched over into " develope , the panel next to library I made some adjustments Messing with the exposure and so on And then I selected the picture by just clicking on it or ( Ctrl A ) button and then I clicked Export. In the export Dialog Box I chose Jpeg , and then exported into the same folder and hit export. I opened up the folder from my laptop and viewed the picture I recently exported and found I didnt like the quality so i attempted to save ( export) the same picture again but this time in " Original" , So i saved it as an Original this time I opened up the folder once more and It turned out I thought the quality of the image i made changes to came out less pixely and sharp so i liked that image and i had no problems that day. But then for some reason the next day I uploaded some pictures and imported the same way and after I've made the changes , then exported using Jpeg , Or Original. But my changes didn't save like they used to the first day I downloaded. I thought it was because I had the thirty day trial so things would wear off .. a few days later but Its supposed to last for thirty days. And then thats when I did a manual of saving meta data but that did no difference its having a hard time saving my changes. I have 27 days left
I think I'm having the same issues as this person http://forums.adobe.com/message/4871476 And I read the comments below it . They weren't much help to me either. & I do understand them but the same thing is happening to me.

HP2550n Color Laser Jet won't print colors correctly in Win 7

This printer is an oldie but a goodie, and I don't want to buy a new one, just because I upgraded to Windows7 Pro 64 bit.
I tried the Unviersal Driver, then the Post Script version, which is better than PCL6, but still not perfect like it was with XP Pro. Still have pronblems printing colors from Acrobat XI documents - color pictures just print all in soid red. MS office docs print fine.
Is there not a driver that will make this printer work right in Win 7 Pro ???

Lightroom 5 won't read my Sony A7ii raw files

Just got my Sony A7ii, shot some files and tried to import into Lightroom but it doesn't recognize the files???? They open in PS ARC just fine.

Which version of Lightroom? It should be supported in LR 5.7.1.

CSS WON'T GET COLOR CODED UNLESS THE FILE IS IN A PROJECT?? R U KIDDIN??

If I open a CSS file outside of a project, there is no color coding! Please tell me this can be changed. I DO NOT WANT CFBUILDER ORGANIZING MY PROJECTS!
$299 for this? Really - please explain why I should pay $300 for a bloated version of Homesite? Homesite was GREAT! You guys frakked up by killing it. CFB is confusing, the settings especially, nothing does what it states. Spend too much time trying to figure out how to update a simple thing. Bad when I have to Google when I just want to display line numbers. Typical Adobe - non-intuitive.

Stop shouting. Jesus.
What you're whining about is the equivalent of my mum (who is a lovely little old lady in her late 70s) buying a new VHS and having a tanty of the buttons not being in "the right place".
If you struggle so much with a software app having settings in different places that it yields this sort of response - and not even an inital visceral response, but lingering enough for you to put the caps lock on and write it down! - you're in the wrong industry, mate. We're not talking rocket surgery here. Or even brain science.
That's not to say that shifting from something like HS to Eclipse doesn't involve a bit of a mindshift, but it's not the end of the world. And no-one's making you change text editors either.
Personally I think CFS was a really good text editor, and I rued moving onto DW (not my choice, I was the guinea pig for a failed experiment at a job I had years ago), and when I moved from DW to Eclipse I spend a few moments going "what's all this project sh!t?". But then I realised everything I work on actually is a project, and there's no harm in having a little organisation in my work. And the work of the rest of the team. And whilst I found Eclipse has some quirks I could do without, I also remember CFS had some quirks I could do without (and DW was an app I could simply do without from start it finish), so they're even in that regard. But I also found that Eclipse's inifintitely customisable platform is a real boon for my development across various languages and productivity tools. Eclipse really is far far better than CFS when one looks at the bigger picture: the one that is outside the realms of developing just basic websites, by one's self, on a single server (and that's not Adobe's target market with CF & CFB anyway, I think).
That said: CFB has a way to go (and is ot worth $300: it's just a Eclipse plug-in after all), but being built on Eclipse is a good start.
I look fwd to CFB 2.0 to see if it's worth buying...

Flash won't save or test run my files

Hi, I guess this might have already been posted before, most
things I post have....
When I have copied my fla files over to my laptop so I can
take work home with me, I can't then test movie, publish or save
the files.
How come? I just get this message:
"Error creating Flash Movie File.
Be sure the destination file is not reed-only or opened by
another application. Also, check that the file name is not too
long."
None of the files are reed only and it only happens when I
move them to my laptop.
I really need to get this work done this weekend but can't if
they don't run on my laptop.

Not sure which OS you're using, but if you use Vista or Win7, the first time you launch DW, right-click and run as Administrator. Set-up your site definition settings, extensions, browsers and other preferences from this elevated mode.
Hope this helps,
