Lightroom 5.6 - photos in one of my collections have all been corrupted - they all become resized after I exported them

I have recently exported two photo collections. However, one of them seems to have been corrupted. All the photos have been resized after I exported them to lightroom.adobe.com. In fact, whenever I try to open any of the images in Lightroom again they have all been resized (or cropped). Is there anyway of recovering the original edits I made. I can re-adjust the images one by one but there are over 1000!
Thanks
Mike

Hi dj-paige
Thanks for replying.
I guess "corrupted" isn't the correct term to use. The problem is that I have been editing photos in Lightroom (well over a 1,000) and then put them in two collections, one called Birds (300+ images) and the other Dragonflies (1000+ images). I then uploaded these collections to Adobe-Lightroom so that I can view them online. However, when I view the Dragonfly collection, either online or in Lightroom, they have all changed, having all been cropped beyond recognition. What I want to know is, 1) has anyone experienced this problem before and 2) is there a way of recovering the photos with all the edits that I have painstakingly made over the past few weeks. I can go through the photos one by one and change the crop so that they appear fine but there are over a 1,000 images and it would take several weeks to go through them again.
Cheers
Mike

    I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared.  How do I find them?

    Hello reallilybart,
    Thank you for the question. You can export the calendar events from your previous iCloud account and then import them into your new iCloud account.
    First, use these steps to export your events from your original account and make note of where you save the file to:
    Export a calendar’s events
    In Calendar, click the calendar’s name.If you don’t see your calendars, click Calendars.
    Choose File > Export > Export.
    Choose a location for the file, and then click Export. The events are exported in an iCalendar (.ics) file.
    Next, quit the Calendar application, and log out of your original iCloud account in System Preferences > iCloud.  Then log in with your new iCloud account and open Calendar.  The final step is to import the file into the calendar for your new iCloud account
    Use these steps to import the calendar events:
    Import events into a calendar
    If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
    Choose File > Import > Import.
    Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
    Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
    You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.

  • Lightroom 3 ~ Move photos from one catalog to another, existing catalog? Not "export as new catalog"

    After consulting the interwebs and the Adobe site and a book about Lightroom 3, I remain confused about how to quickly and easily get photos from one existing catalog to a different catalog, since LR doesn't allow one (for its own arcane reasons, I assume) to have more than one catalog open at once.
    Say I've got a Quick Collection of stuff I previously imported into "Catalog X" when it really belongs in "Catalog Y." What is the best way to get those photos into Catalog Y? Exporting this Quick Collection as a new catalog; closing down Catalog X; bringing up Catalog Y; running an import dialogue to import that Quick Collection... well, that seems pretty ridiculous. I assume I'm missing something obvious. Anyone know what the command is?
    Also, if anyone can direct me to the Lightroom 3 discussions, as the search function here seems pretty rudimentary (e.g. put "lightroom 3" in the search box and it will bring up dozens of hits for "lightroom 4.3"), that'd be awesome... thanks...

    it's less confusing for me if i can just dump a whole folder full of stuff onto a drive and know that LR will look for it in that location, and not throw ?'s at me.
    You can do exactly that. When the drive is plugged or on a network you have access to there will be no "?".
    For offline drives "?" just do not mean anything other than plug it when you want them gone.
    the lrcat could live on Dropbox or iCloud.
    Yes, it could. But then I would not set Dropbox for continuous updates, as this might slow LR down. Just a triggered update once LR gets closed.
    so - cornelia, when you travel, how do you handle bringing images to work on with you? for example, suppose you have 500 images you want to work on. LR believes that these images, along with many others, live in the folder BigHardDrive/prettypictures/Sep2012/ . are you working directly on those previews you mentioned, instead of looking at the originals while you're Developing, etc?
    For Developing I need to have the image online, no way around that. Same for print and export. I have the images with me, preferably on my internal laptop drive, or on a USB-3.0-external disk (1-2 TB big).
    For rating and other metadata adding the previews are sufficient.
    When I travel on holidays to take new pictures I create a brand-new travel catalog on a small laptop and import every day the new shoot into it. I organize per day and import from all cameras into the same folder. I make a 2nd copy on a plugged USB-external drive, and I leave the camera storage card uncleared until the end of the journey. So I have 3 versions of the images.
    In the evenings I have the new images completely available on the small laptop and develop them in the travel catalog. Usually I succeed only partially, as the quantity is too big, so I continue later on.
    Back home I import the travel catalog into my master catalog on my big laptop, and the images onto its internal hard disk. I prefer this for speed during further development. The backup copies go on 2 different NAS drives, unnoticed by LR. Only then would I format my camera storage cards - 3 versions at any time is my motto.
    Then the travel catalog has ended its life for me.
    When I am done with my main editing I move the images from my internal hard disk to a 3rd NAS drive by dragging-dropping from within LR, into what I call my "LiveArchives": my master catalog will point to them 'forever'. The other 2 versions on the other NAS drives stay as they are, because I want them for being able to replenish my LiveArchives in case of failure. So LR does not know these safety-versions.
    When I travel e.g. to my relatives to show images, I make sure that my master catalog has rendered all previews in the size and quality I want (standard previews 1680px high quality). Then I unplug my big laptop and go for the visit.
    When I show the images, there are of course the "?", because I have no access to my NAS-drives.
    I need to use the Survey-mode (N) with 1 image at a time in order not to see the black message "images is offline or missing", which would show in normal loupe view (E).
    Or I show slideshows, which I have usually prepared as slideshow-collections before with rendered previews.
    The biggest challenge for such slideshows is to decide how little to include to entertain your audience well - 400-600 images max, less is more.
    Very nice about these visits is that I am able to quickly find almost any image my host might remember ("you know that funny face of cousin X, must have been at the birthday party of uncle Y, but I don't remember if it was Year 2003 or 2004 or possibly 2005?"). My success on this depends of course on my efforts of having added the relevant metadata. For this it is worth while to ask the others how they would search, what bits&pieces they remember - this gives you a valuable clue on how to keyword or what to put into titles/captions. Indispensable if you want to leave a legacy of images to the next generation.
    If I had to close a catalog and open another one every now and then, I would not achieve that.
    Same need, but very different requirements if you want to sell your images as stock.
    thanks for all the suggestions. again, i am a lowly user indeed, and the professional who set me up on this, and taught me some methodologies for organizing, apparently didn't do the greatest job of it.
    Well I would probably not consider him as a "professional"... but you also find on this forum some questions from poeple who claim to advise clients, where I think if they would only stop trying that...
    I can just tell what works for me and why.
    To advise others I need to understand their real needs - mostly there are several ways how to accomodate that - what will work for the poster is for him/her to decide after trial. Thinking in real needs rather than preconceived technical routes.
    My own workflow has considerably evolved thanks to 3 years of reading on this forum.

  • "One or more songs are not authorized" except they all are?

    I made a play list tonight that I wanted to burn to a CD for a friend. When I went to burn it, I got an error message saying "One or more of the songs in this play list are not authorized on this computer." Apple's help page said I could figure out which songs weren't authorized by trying to play them and that the unauthorized songs wouldn't play...except they all played just fine.
    First I tried rebooting. Didn't help. Then I tried removing each purchased song one at a time. Didn't help. Then I removed all the purchased songs. STILL didn't help. Finally I tried burning a play list that I'd made and burned a month ago. That one burned just fine.
    So I have a play list now made up exclusively of tracks that I imported into iTunes from CDs, none purchased from the iTunes store, and I'm still getting an error message that says "One or more of the songs in this play list are not authorized on this computer." ***? And more importantly, is there any way I can find out which freaking song is causing the problem without trying to burn each one individually to a separate CD?

  • How to import photos into LR4 that LR states have already been imported.

    LR4 in import mode shows photo files that it has labeled with a leading "_" in a muted format and states they have already been imported and will not allow importing. I have been unable to locate them by file name or date in LR or using file searches. How can I find and/or import them? Do I have to rename all the files by deleting the leading _ in the file name?
    Thanks

    Duplicate file detection is based on more than just file name. Duplicate file names are allowed in your catalog. You can try turning off the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" (under the File Handling roll-out on the right panel of the Import dialog window) and see what that does for you. As to finding the files that these are (potentially) duplicates of, it's hard to say. Name and date are some of the easier ways of doing it. What folder it got imported into may be another. If you've been using keywords and/or Collections, this may help as well.

  • If I assign a static IP to one device, do I have to do it for all of them?

    I'm setting up OS X ML Server on a Mini, and I'm trying to make the server accessible via VPN and a .com domain name I own.  I've figured out how to make it work via local IP addresses (e.g. 10.0.1.X), and after poking about on the Network tab in the AirPort Utility I think I've figured out how I can assign my static IP to the server (switch from DHCP & NAT to DHCP only, and then set the DHCP range to include my allotted static IPs).
    My question is this: If I switch to DHCP-only to allow me to attach the static IP to my server and change the DHCP Range to allow me to use my static IP, will this affect the ability of other devices to use the network?  Or is there a better way to bind the IP to the server without having to change DHCP and NAT settings?

    Ok.. the clarification is very important.. as using a block of public IP's is a totally different setup.
    I have to confess it is not a setup I am much experienced in and it depends very much on the modem/router how the setup has to work.. normally you set the router itself to take one IP in the block.. and then you should be able to just use dhcp for the others. But you can ensure each device keeps the same address via the dhcp reservations.. but I have never seen details on this setup on a TC.. or paid attention if I did read them.
    Here is something I found with a quick google.
    It is exactly the router I would suggest using btw instead of the TC.
    http://www.jeffryhouser.com/index.cfm/2012/3/26/How-can-you-use-Static-IPs-with- ATT-UVerse-Service
    Using a vpn router makes life so much easier as the end points on the router itself work for the whole network.
    I would spend a bit of time exploring how people have setup block of IP but I cannot find much with TC.. perhaps broaden the search to any apple router.

    Get the eye fixed first. Follow Barbara B's suggestion.
    The problem is that download. Try to get an installation disk from Adobe ?
    Ps. My wife has used Elements 6 for 5 years without an issue, but, it was installed using the . Adobe Software disk. We found 13 was really not much better..as there was a problem with converting  Canon RAW CR2 files to jpeg
    If all fails you could return it for a refund which they will honour.. I did it with  Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 ,which did not have a stabilizer and could not handle anamorphic HD very well.. When the upgrade came it fixed everything and has run perfectly for nearly 5 years.
    You should be very pleased with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, when you get it operating.  We have  run  Photoshop Elements for over 10 years and it is faultless, Nearly as good as ADOBE Photoshop Pro which is easier to use and over 10,000 + images have been processed .

  • HT202213 Home sharing.  Multiple ipods and more than one user..... Do they all need seperate accounts?

    I have set my kids ipods up on home sharing.  Now when their games on each personal ipod, they are the same user.  Is there any way of changing this?  Or do I have to make each kid a seperate account and buy all of these games twice? 

    It doesn't look like anybody had any answers for me, but its no big deal as I solved it myself. The problem was dependent on the WebLogic's implementation of their security context and hence there probably isn't a generic solution. It turns out that WebLogic can associate a user object with each thread. If a thread does not have a user object associated with it, it uses the default user which is assigned the first time a user signs in. The problem was that the application thread was used to initially sign in, but the awt event thread was used to access the ejb. Since the awt thread had no context it would use the default.
    If anyone wants to know more about the exact solution you can email me at r k e n w o r t h y@h o t m a i l . c o m (pardon the spaces - hopefully they will avoid extra spam going to my account).

  • Why do my pictures become blurry after exporting from lightroom 5?

    My pictures become somewhat blurry or not as sharp after I export them from lightroom 5. PLEASE HELP!!!

    If you are looking at your exported pictures in preview.app than that is the culprit. It uses an extremely poor downscaling algorithm for displaying large images and will make every large image, no matter how sharp originally, display blurry. In preview you can hit command-0 (that's a zero) to make the image display 1:1 to see the actual detail. Make sure you have it's preferences in the images panel set to "Define 100% scale as 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel". I think in older Mac OS X versions, it was called something like ignore image dpi for display or so but I don't remember. You can also make sure to downscale (with correct output sharpening in the export panel) upon export from Lightroom. If the exported image is smaller than the display, Preview should display 1:1 by default upon opening.

  • Need to get reefund on rentals from itune store...had several bad copies previously,so they gave refund and an agreement to rent 3 more movies for free...i stioll have one more credit for a free movie and they have erroneously charged for two more movies.

    I've tried to get to support on line to no avail...called the 1-800 number and they keep telling me to go to expresslane.com/itunes/support. i've been billed for 2 movies that were rented...considering I stiil have a credit from the last go-around, where the movies rented kept hanging up or i was billed twice for the same movie...they awarded me 4 credits, of which i have used 3...I still have 1 last credit and they continue to bill for 2 movies, one of which kept hanging up and it took 3 hours to see a 90 minute movie by the time we started and backed up the track seveal times....right on my account from the itunes store it is listed 1 credit remaining....it's not a big deal, but if that's the way they conduct themselves, than i want nothing to do with them in the future!

    I am always calling and asking but I will do it again since I did not ask this past month and a half. I have always been told they never have any specials or packages on the Jet packs at least in our area.
    That being said, on our neighborhood forum, internet speed and availability has been the hot topic this month. Since everyone is now starting to get high speed unlimited internet access for $60 a month, I'm hoping my post will be moot.

    Yes.
    If you select more than one photo in either the Grid or the Film Strip and then go to File>Email Photos… it will send all that are selected. .
