Lightroom and Windows 8

Since I started using Windows 8, LIghtroom will only print 8x11.5 size paper, even when set for4x6 photo. What to do?

If the upgrade runs as Microsoft promises: No. Normally all your installed programs run under Windows 8 as usual after upgrading... It worked with me till I got a blue screen after an automatic update installation. Then I had to reinstall Windows 8 and all of my programs. My advice remains: don't upgrade if there is not an absolute urge to do so (I normally can't think of any..). Just for the 'pretty' new UI or for just having always the newest, you can save yourself a lot of trouble sticking to Windows 7....

Lightroom and Windows 7

Is anyone running Windows 7 Beta + Lightroom and CS4?.
I normally run Vista Ultimate plus CS4 and Lightroom 2.2.
Having just loaded Lightroom onto Windows 7 all works ok apart from when I use the crop tool, when using the crop tool the image rotates 90deg. anyone else experiencing this problem.
Obviously not a major problem as I can just boot to Vista.

It is a known problem.
Here is a thread discussing the issue:

If you have both the top menu (Library, Develop, etc) and the bottom thumbnails displayed at the same time, the crop tool acts funny. Close the thumbnails and it should work.

Photoshop Lightroom and windows XP

Dear all,
I have just bought Photoshop lightroom and installed it successfully on my main computer, which runs on windows vista. I wanted to have also an installation on my laptop computer, which runs under winXP. The program told me i had to have Vista or later as operating system to run LightRoom 4.3.
With the license i bought, is it possible to have an earlier version of lightroom installed on window XP to solve this problem ?
Best Regards,
Pierre Barthelemy

No you are only licensed to use Photoshop Lightroom 4. If you wish to obtain a license for Lightroom 3 you will need to find a reseller still offering the older version of the software.

Lightroom and Windows mouse focus issues.

In one aspect Lightroom have been always behaving different from other Windows application: Its speed of grabbing mouse focus and moving window to the foreground is exaggerated. This problem will be observed only by people using their WinXP computers in "X11 mode", like with Unix, what allows to perform interaction with processes associated with windows without ever clicking on, or raising such window. Should you be working on large computer clusters as I do, this focusing feature its a blessing.
This how you can reproduce: Use Tweak UI to adjust the mouse behavior. Select "Mouse," step down to "X=Mouse" and check "Activation follows mouse." Do not select "autoraise."
Now your WinXP will behave similar to the real X11 xterm with mouse having the "no raise selection" policy. Its not quite identical to xterm, but it really works perfectly in most cases.
Except... well, except with Lightroom. Lightroom grabs the pointer and pushes the window to the foreground in splits of a second. For example, go to
"Help|About Adobe Lightroom" to see the credit window. It appears than as usual, but since the help menu will be dismisses, the pointer stands on the main Lightroom window, what makes the credits window vanish in split of a second. No chance to see it!
Another case: Assume that Lightroom uses almost the entire desktop down to the task bar, and your browser window is smaller. Select the browser on the taskbar and try to move mouse to it. No chance! Lightroom will take over and pop itself to the foreground again. The only solution is to minimize Lightroom. And than sometimes something happens that Lightroom will not restore itself anymore! The "Restore" operation is grayed out, one can only Maximize it. We have reported this numerous times before.
I am aware that this problem relates only to WinXP users with X11 mouse mode, but with Lightroom reaching now a high degree of maturity, maybe we could take a look at this problem as well?

In order to overcome most of the known navigation and/or focus issues you need to be using the following:
<li>Forms 10.1.2.3 or newer (latest is 11.1.2). If/when you are using 10.1.2.3 you would also need to install patch ID 9593176 as this contains additional fixes for focus issues.
<li>JRE 1.6.0_26 or newer (latest is 1.6.0_30). The latest is always recommended as it contains the most up to date fixes for both technical issues and security issues.

Lightroom 4 and Windows XP

I'm VERYdisappointed that Lightroom 4 is incompatible with Windows XP. I've been using Lightroom since version 2 and am quite fond of it. If enough people complain, will Adobe respond with a solution other than "upgrade to Windows 7" or "buy a MAC" or just plain ole "sorry"?

Windows XP will not be supported. It's 11 years old and Windows 8 is just around the corner. They also dropped support for many Mac OSs and also for any 32 bit Macs.

I am a novice. I have a few thousand iPhotos stored on Dropbox. But now I have a Canon T5i camera and want to get more involved in photography. I want to open a Lightroom and Photoshop account. I have a Windows desktop and an iPad. Will I have any compatibility issues with PC and Mac? Can I store my photos in Lightroom and eliminate my Dropbox account? Thanks.

You shouldn't have any compatibility issues. But you don't store images "in" Lightroom. Lightroom simply points to wherever the images are on your system. You might like to watch a few videos that can help you understand how Lightroom works.

Lightroom between Windows and Apple products

-If i get a Apple laptop will I be able to transfer work between the two that I do in Lightroom?
-I i go this route will i have any compatibility issues that will affect performance?
Your comments are appreciated!

Performance? Nope...but there are some issues relating to certain areas of compatibilities...for example; hard drives. On Mac you can mount and read/write FAT32 formated external drives but if the drives are formated as NTFS you'll only be able to read from them not write to them. That can be an issue is your catalog is on the drive. If you format the drives as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) your Windows machine won't see the drives unless you install a 3rd party driver (pretty easy & cheap).
But once you work out the compatibilities LR will run just fine on both Mac and Windows.

No Print To File option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)

Q - Where do I find the "Print To File" option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)?
A - Photoshop Lightroom does not have the ability to print to file, but some print drivers can access the ability of the operating system to print to file. See
TechNote for further information.

If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

Windows 7 crashes when using Lightroom and Photoshop

I am trying to determine the cause of random crashes (bsod) when I run Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 (either individually or both at the same time) on my Windows 7 64-bit PC. I'm begining to think the crashes might be related to interactions between LR4, CS5, and Windows 7 Services. Does anyone know of a list of Windows 7 64-bit Services that are used by LR4 and CS5?

Applications can't cause BSOD's. Crash, yes, but not BSOD. The real cause is usually faulty or incompatible hardware (most likely RAM), or buggy drivers (most likely video card).
Photoshop puts a lot of stress on your computer, so any latent problems are likely to turn up. Lightroom I believe less so; but still it can push the wrong buttons.
I'd start by downloading an updated video driver, and next test RAM by removing or replacing one stick at a time.

Adobe Lightroom 4 for Mac and Windows, can I install the same license on both systems or only 1?

I just purchased 1 full license of Adobe Lightroom 4 and I can see there's an installer for Mac and Windows.
does it mean I can install on both systems or my license is only valid for 1?
Thank you
BR,
Lucia

Yes, LR is cross-platform and you can install it on both systems.

I have uninstalled Lightroom and need to re-install it on the same computer. I cannot find where to re-install it. The CC popup window says that it is installed and Up to date.

Can I run the Photoshop CC and Lightroom with Windows XP professional as the operating system?

Can I run the Photoshop CC and Lightroom with Windows XP professional as the operating system?

The tech specs for Phtoshop CC and Lightroom indicate Windows 7 with SP 1 is required as a minimum, so XP would not be sufficient to run them. Here's the Photoshop specs:
Windows
Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor (2GHz or faster)
Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1*
1GB of RAM
2.5GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with OpenGL® 2.0, 16-bit color, and 512MB of VRAM (1GB recommended)†
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.‡
