Lightroom 5 print templates not allowing images to be moved into cells & not allowing individual cells to be selected

I've run into a problem using the LR5 print templates that has occurred suddenly and I need help figuring out what happened.
Yesterday I tried using a Print template from my User Templates menu and the one I selected wouldn't allow an image to be dragged into a cell. I also noticed that the template wouldn't allow me to select the cells for size adjustment, either. Other templates had the same behavior, even the templates in the Lightroom Templates menu.
Not only that, but when I hover the mouse cursor over the template name in the menu it displays the template properly in the Preview pane above the menus, but when I click the mouse to select the template the Preview display changes to one that's completely different, which is the same as what shows in the main viewing area.
I have a few non-Lightroom templates (added by me) that work properly, but all of the Print templates in the Lightroom Templates menu show these symptoms. How can I get the Lightroom Print Templates to behave?
Anybody...suggestions??
Thanks!

I'm having almost the exact same problem. the Lightroom library is not recognizing that the files stored in a LOCAL dropbox folder are the same ones as in the library. So if I try to "synch" library, i end up with 40k photos that are missing from my library but they are not. They are there.

2 questions - change image size within print cell, and saving print template w/ specific images

Hi,
Searched the forums for the answer to these but couldn't find much.
1. Is there a way to change the image size within a cell (under print module). For example, zoom in 140% on a a specific image but still have it within the original cell size?
2. Say I create and fill in an elaborate print template with my images - is there a way to save the FILLED IN version of the template to edit at a later time? For example if I wanted to load it back up w/ all the original images layed out in the print template, but maybe change a few and resave as jpeg?
Thank you!

Hi
I'm not sure but maybe you can use a rectangle to hold the .ai image, resize the rectangle and fit proportionally the image inside it
hope this help

Lightroom Printer Template for Canon Pro9000

I have been trying to set up a printer template for my Canon Pro9000 that has as one of the printer settings that color management is turned off. I create a new template and/or I try to update settings on an existing template. No matter what I do, it seems like if the setting reverts to ICM. Also, it seems like it ignores the setting that I check for whether or not I want a print preview.
Are these just settings that can't be saved in a template, or am I doing something wrong?

I have a p9000 too. I am not aware that LR can set up a template with all the printer driver settings you want including turning off color management in the printer.
I always thought that every time you load light room, you have to reset all your printer driver settings in the printer driver (as well as specifying no your paper profiles and rendering intent in LR.
This ain't exactly great. I usually print in qimage which defaults to your previous settings for any given type of paper profile you choose.
But LR isn't there yet.

FF5 does not show images that are 'moved permanently' (http response 301)

Our web app shows maps from OpenStreetmap. The webapp is secure, that is, is uses HTTPS. Now, IE complains horribly when the web page tries to load <img> via HTTP, because it's mixed content that that is considered baad.
So our webapp serves the images by responding via HTTPS with a 301 (moved permanently) to the real OpenStreetmap URL (with is HTTP). That fools IE to not complain.
Now, Firefox 5 suddenly does not show the map images AT ALL. This has worked beautifully with previous version (and all other browsers).
What's wrong?

I fixed the problem. (YAY!)
It was the way I embedded the files -- the Dreamweaver default does not work properly so I used the embed from this generator: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html#alternativeContentHelp which now lets my navbar and swfobjects load properly. I also made sure that my slideshow (loader.swf) was set with wmode = opaque while the navbar is set to wmode = transparent. The div for the nav bar has z-index set to 5 while the div for the slideshow has z-index set to 1. Both have absolute positioning. I hope this helps anyone in the future that has trouble with overlaying flash (.swf) files.
Thanks for your reply and trying to help me solve this issue!

Will not allow images on websites that it used to allow, for example, when trying to post on Craiglist, it will not show the images I have to copy in order for CL to approve my post

will not allow certain images - for example, cannot see the images I need to copy on Craigslist in order for CL to approve my post.

Not all images from iPhoto came into Aperture

I ran an import from iPhoto and I think I am not seeing photos in some albums.
Is it possible this is due to my hiding the Album in iPhoto and if so can someone tell me if there is a good or a global way to unhide all Albums?
Also, can someone tell me if it is possible that I need to unhide all photos as well?
Are there other things I should make sure to do so that everything I can get to Aperture gets to Aperture?
Looking forward to working in this software but I have to get clear of iPhoto first.
Thanks.

I've been importing referrenced images into Aperture since it was launched. I am also irritated when I set the sort order to Date and as soon as the import starts it changes to Manual.
Are you saying that I have to go back to my hundreds of albums and set each one to be sorted by Date in order for a new import into a new album to be imported already sorted by Date?
Additional trivial complaints follow:
I never import from the camera or the SD card. I move my images onto an external HD where they are arranged by date. The files and the folders are set to sort by date on my HD. Why not follow that protocol when importing?
It was bad enough when v 2.0 came out and decided during the update and "conversion" that my method of sorting and displaying my images which were Year = Project, Month = Folder, Day = folder was incorrect.. Everything was sorted by date because the names of the Project - Folder - folder were all labeled by date : year - month - day. Everything was messed up when Aperture decided I was using the wrong order of storage. So Aperture, without asking, changed the way my images were stored and sorted. It took me weeks to convert them so they would sort & display the way I wanted.

Dragging image from web browser into Photoshop not opening

Before, whilst in Google Inspect on any webpage I could drag an image onto the Photoshop application icon on the dock = opens up in Photoshop + with PNG transparency.
Now this has stopped working for an unknown reason about 2-3 months ago after updating. I'll drag the image over the application icon on the dock as before, but then nothing opens.
As a result, my workflow is now more inefficient and incovienient.
Please can you explain what has happened and when this is being fixed.
Thank you,
Steve

You wouldn't happen to be using the Chrome browser, would you?
Chrome broke drag and drop recently.

Missing print templates - Lightroom preset ones

All the preset Lightroom PRINT templates have disappeared. I see the folder on the left that says Print templates and Lightroom templates and user templates. If I import templates they show up in user templates as expected but the Lightroom Templates is completely empty - just pops up new folder box. I have checked preferences and looked for the template folder. I just has a folder for user templates which seems to be what the problem is. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. I also went back and deleted old versions (3,4) and the preferences files and every other file/folder I could find relating to lightroom including catalogs. I have lightroom installed on both my laptop and Imac. The problem is occuring on both so it seems that accidently deleting something is unlikely. I've never looked at the print module before so this may have been going on for a long time.
Any ideas on how to get these.
<moved by mod from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

I assume you mean, Edit / Preferences... [presets tab] Location: [Show Lightroom Presets Folder]. If you haven't yet saved any print presets of your own, then LR has not yet had any need of a User folder to contain such. So one may not yet have been made.
The easiest way to get LR to do that, (and to be sure that you are looking in the right place) : click the + icon next to Template Browser in Print module.
IOW: save a dummy print preset, doesn't matter about its contents, but enter some very distinctive name and then click Create. By default this should go into "User Templates", which is made as necessary, though you can choose to make a differently named folder if you prefer.
Full path on my Win8.1 is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Print Templates\User Templates
Then take a look in Explorer and see what has changed - if there's any problem, you can always disk search for whatever distinctive template name you have just entered. Copy your other bought templates alongside this new dummy print preset, restart LR and you should be able to start using any of those. Delete the dummy preset in due course.
(Note that it is quite usual for built-in LR presets to be held somewhere quite different, than user created or user added items. The provided choices such as "(1) 4 x 6" and "custom 1 over 2" may not be findable anywhere on disk, for example.)

Print template control

Currently the print template gives you some basic options for customization.
However, I'd like to see greater control over placement of printed metadata. For example, maybe I want image titles centered on the top, captions centered .25 inches below the image, filenames at the very bottom of the page flush left, and date @ bottom flush right, all in 40% black.
Lightroom print Templates should allow you to have such precise control.

yeah, I vote for that too!

Missing Print Templates Folder

I have recently purchased some blog templates and I can not install them because I have no print templates folder.
I go edit-preferences-show lightroom folder- lightroom- and there is no print templates folder to drop the templates into.

Hi @kots
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP LaserJet M2727 Multifunction Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Lightroom - print module not working on mac osx 10.5.1 (leopard)

When I switch to print module in light room comes up as error when changing modules but every every other module seems to work fine.

Jao, I tried it but no luck. As John recommended, I also uninstalled Lightroom, deleted the preference file as well as the print templates per your suggestion and reinstalled the latest Lightroom 1.3.1. Still no luck with using the left panel in the Library module.
One thing I just noticed was that if I open a very small catalog of ~200 images, everything appears to work fine. It looks like a problem with working with my 12,000 image catalog which always worked well before I upgraded my iMac to OS X Leopard. By the way, I've got the preferences setup to always check the integrity of the catalog at the start of every session. Everything is supposedly good.
Anyhow, thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I hate the thought of reimporting all my images and losing all my metadata in the process. Thanks.

User Print templates will not hold Print Settings Presets

User print templates set up for different papers will not remember/hold Print Settings Presets

Jeff,
You are correct it does work, I added a step not needed - I created a Preset on the Print Setting page, I should have left that as Default, it works that way. How pleasant to get a response from you, I just watched Camera to Print & Screen #39 Print from Lightroom this morning where I learned about Print templates. Thanks so much.

I am trying to import developed images from LightRoom 5 Photoshop 6 for further editing. I am receiving this message and the images will not open.....'Could not open scratch file because the file is locked, or you do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file. How do I fix this? I would greatly appreciate it if you would respond with terms and procedures that a computer ignorant user, such as me, will understand. Thanks.

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

I am in the print mode but the dimensions I select in the size template do not show up on either the cell size or the photo, i.e. select 4x6 template lR gives me 3.5x4 8x10 gives me 5.19x3,50 I have to use 8x10 template in order to get 3.5x5.194

The sizes on the print template do not relate to the size I get in the cell size or on the photo. Template 8x10 gives me 3.5 x5.194 which is on the cell size can't make it any larger. 4X6 template gives me 3.5x4 which is the same as the cell size. My printer is a new epson 3000 which is set to print 4x6 but LR does not give the 4x6 dimension to the printer just the aforementioned sizes!!!! I have tried everything to get it to print properly to no avail. The photo system that came with the computer an iMac 27" pro 2013 with yosemite as the os.works fine with he printer! You just cannot do much other than print with it
Anybody have any idea what happened? It used to work fine ____about a week and a half ago
