Lightroom and cropping - how accurate is it?

Has anyone noticed the in accuracy of the cropping in Lightroom (beta 4.1)????
I'm not sure if its just me but if you crop an image in lightroom, for example, custom size, 8 x 6 (I assume its inches), and then export the image to a given resolution (my labs require 304 dpi), then open in Photoshop and check the image size, its actually slightly larger than 8 x 6 inches (more like 8.2 x 6.15 inches) !!!!???
Is this a know problem that will be sorted in v1 or thinking about it, should the export resolution be 300 dpi thus the extra 4 dpi might be causing the oversized crops??? or am I just missing something simple here!?
BTW, Lightroom rocks - 2 weeks to go, can't wait...

Stewart,
I hope that you won't be insulted if I suggest that your screen resolution set in Photoshop may be wrong. I think it defaults to 72 ppi but I have to set mine to 80 ppi to get the correct print size.
Quick way to check is call up the rulers on to an image and compare them to a real ruler held up to the screen.

Do you at least have the serial-numbers for them? Did you buy discs or download them? What versions, specifically?
If you purchased them as downloads from Adobe, they may be available under My Purchases (or whatever it is called, exactly) if you log into www.adobe.com and check the My Account area, then look at the products you’ve purchased.

Lightroom and Infrared:how to keep camera image

Now that I;m hooked on Infrared and have a Canon XT and a couple of older Canon Point & Shoot converted to IR, I would love to see th same cumtom WB image that I see on the back of the camera. I've started capturing in both RAW +JPG in hopes the jpg will show the settings. I'm importing to show as separate files.
Is there a way to keep LR from changing the bluish tone of a 590 nm supercolor IR sensor image to magenta?
Is there a filter or preset or develop setting I can use to just maintain the original color quality of the JPG?

can anyone else chime in, I just want to view either my raw or jpgs as they look in jpg preview on back of camera, i know it will not be exact, but got the camera converted to Super Color so I wouldn't have to use PS extensively?

How can I make a print-ready book-file in lightroom 4, with bleeds and crop marks?

I am wondering if its possible to make a file that includes bleed and crop marks from lightroom 4? I have made a book, but it lacks these features, which makes the printers unable to print my book. Do I have to use indesign instead?

Lightroom 4.3 problems, filmstrip and crop tool

I am noticing some issues in Lightroom 4.3. Can you please tell me how to have picks and ratings appear in the filmstrip. I have this selected in Preferences and previously was able to see picks and ratings.
Also, when I crop an image now, I am unable to move the photo within the crop (I don't see the "hand".) Any suggestions on correcting this?

Thank you...I discovered this answer online from another post last night and tried it. (Since I didn't re-size the thumbnails, I wasn't aware that you could do this.) After re-starting Lightroom and my computer, the crop issue corrected itself. Thank you very much for your response. It worked!

Camera Raw 8 the same cropping choices as are in Lightroom and Photoshop?

Seriously, how hard would it be to give Camera Raw 8 the same cropping choices as are in Lightroom and Photoshop (i.e., Fibonacci, Triangle, Diagonal, etc.)? This disparity in features is inexcusable and embarrassing. Surely the teams communicate?

I don't have CC nor LR. Just be sure you are comparing apples to apples
That is a nice statement for a Windows guy…
I never use crop in ACR because I like this feature more in PS itself. Also the inability to save crop presets in ACR makes it very limited. The ACR engine for PS and LR are the same, the body differs.
Thanks to hard yelling people we now have about the same crop tool in PS as in LR. Although I still don't like it in PS, after having used it years and years I now have to move the image instead of the crop.
Sadly the ability to rotate crop and having adjust it automatically to the borders is a very nice option. If it wasn't for this I would stay with the old classic mode.
But the OP is right, many features in different Adobe Products have somewhat the same result but sometimes very different approaches, options and tools.
Until the Adobe HQ is going to settle in Utopia we might be better off trying to learn living with it

How many times can you install Lightroom 5? My problem is that I have saved my programs on C. To I have more space, I want to save my programs now on E. Can I now uninstall Lightroom and reinstall from C to E? Can I use the same license code as the first

Please help!!

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

Hi there
I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these. Instead it just took me to the
adobe page with nowhere visible to update. I then sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
functionality It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe.
I have since remedied the problem as my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that. I do feel that this is a bit
of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.

The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

Question: The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

Absolutely - but I had no idea there were two versions. When I got my new laptop I just went to the Adobe site to download and install LR5. It never asked if I had a license; it just directed me to install CC to start a trial which I thought I could license after downloading. Several sessions and many hours of looking through the forums and Google for an answer I never ran across anything that made this distinction. I still haven't found a path from www.adobe.com that would get me to the standalone download page (it's probably there, wasn't obvious to me) and looking at the download page it doesn't make any CC/standalone distinction.
There are many places I could have gotten a hint - for instance the license could be tagged "stand alone edition", the CC-version could recognize the stand-alone key and either accept it or produce a more meaningful error message, or the download site or the CC app could ask if I had previously purchased a key, etc.
It was my error to assume this was a deactivation problem, but it looked the same as a previous deactivation problem with Photoshop.
In any event, thank you for your help.

Should I reinstall Lightroom and if so, how do I not lose my work?

I have Windows 8 and Lightroom 5.7 installed on my desktop. Every since I did the last update, Lightroom has been acting really weird. I often get a "Lightroom Not Responding" message, or it will take for ever to do something like move from library to develop module. I have been going through and deleting files and have moved folders with in Lightroom, but I would think that should not be an issue. This has been going on for about a month now after the last update. Yesterday I moved my pictures from my desktop to an external drive through lightroom and then did a catalog backup.. Later in the day after a photo shoot, I tried to import pictures, to that external drive and it just stopped in the middle of the process. I checked to see if the pictures were in the designated folder and they were. So I closed Lightroom and opened it again 6 pictures had a white box with lines through them taking up the bottom quarter of the picture. If I look at these pictures through another program, they appear fine. Should I reinstall Lightroom? If so, how do I save my work? Could my catalog (which I have backed up) be corrupt?
I have more work to be done, but I don't want to proceed if I am working with an unstable program.

Uninstalling LR does not delete the catalog which is in an entirely different place, not the Programs folder. I am not saying that removing and reinstalling LR will solve your problem, but you don't need to worry about losing your work. If you reinstall, the first time you launch LR it may create a new empty catalog. Just use File/Open Recent to open your old catalog.

So i bought the 9.99 a month photoshop (with lightroom) and then installed CC when i went to the app tab both PS and LR said "try" instead of install is that how setup usually goes? or well it ask me later for serial numbers?

I have lightroom and photoshop cs6 on a windows computer. How do I transfer downloads and photos to my new Macbook pro

I have Lightroom and Photoshop cs6 on a windows computer. How do I transfer these programs and to my new MacBooks pro?

So how do I do it?

I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed. This is pretty typical. Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images. How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile. If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it. It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background. A quick web search turns up many overviews. Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.

How To Perform The Same Edit And Crop To Multiple Images?

On just one image this would be a no brainer, I'd just use the paint brush or similar tool to wipe over a section I want covered and use the crop tool to get the image size and position I'm after. The thing is though, I'd like to do the same edit and crop to a series of photos to keep them all consistent and it's beyond me how to do that in PS5. When I look at help I find tips on using scripts, batch processing or stacking images that seem to defy the English language and don't address the two simple little things I want to do to these images.
Can anyone explain, or point me to a resource, that could help me accomplish what I'd like to think should be a simple task for such an expensive program?

You could use a "clipper" document to isolate the globe in each image.
Create a clipper doc which is the size of the images in the globe series and which contains only a layer with a silhouette of the globe surrounded by transparency.
Make an Action which will copy the current image and close it, paste into the already open clipper doc, clip that image layer to the silhouette layer, crop/trim, export a file then revert the clipper doc to its initial state of just the silhouette ready for processing the next image in the batch. For example:
1. Select All
2. Copy
3. Close
4. Paste
5. Create Clipping Mask
6. Trim based on transparent pixels
7. Save As
8. Revert
Open the clipper doc then set up Batch so the output files are named with a serial number.

I had over 7000 images stored in Lightroom and they are no longer there. What happened to them and how do I get them back?

I had over 7000 images stored in Lightroom and they are no longer there. Do images automatically delete after a certain number? How do I get my images back?

It'll be something you have done. Think back to recent things you may have done. For example, might you have created a new catalogue? Anything listed under File > Open Recent?
