Lightroom CC and Lightroom 5.7

I had LIghtroom 5-64 bit loaded and subscribed to Lightroom CC. Both are on my PC. It seems to toggle between, which one will open when a CF card is inserted. Is CC considered 64 bit? What should I do? Will Lightroom 5 continue to be supported? I get a note when I click on updates for Lightroom 5 to update, but it always goes to the CC version when I try to download.
The versions seem to be schizophrenic.
Thank you,
Mike

You should be able to keep both. How to prevent LR from starting when you insert a card depend on your operating system. On the Mac you need to launch Apple's Image Capture application when the card is inserted. On the lower left is a little drop down. Choose "do nothing". Unfortunately you have to do this for each card. I don't think there's a global setting. Worse, since I've updated to 10.10.3 every time I reformat a card Image Capture thinks it's a new card. Still working on a fix for that. If you have Windows I don't know how to do it but I'm sure a quick google will get you the answer.

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.

There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix

When I try to open my Lightroom 5 program it comes up with this message, "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit." How do I fix this?

Can someone please let me know how I can fix this error and open my Lightroom? Thanks.

You might be quicker help posting in the LR forum rather than the ACR forum, but I believe the way to fix this is to delete the preview cache.
Find your catalog folder.
Close LR.
Within the catalog folder, delete the FOLDER called Catalog-Name Previews.lrdata
Start LR.

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.

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Nope. Be a great feature. For that I use FotoMagico after exporting JPEG's from LR.

I use a Mac, new to lightroom, I purchased the software, and now I cannot get into my develop module because it is telling me that I need to renew my membership ? Lost !!! lost in a dark cold cave of lightroom someone please help me !!

I cannot get into my develop module on lightroom, it is telling me to "please renew my membershipto reactivate the develop module" I do not understand. I bought the software must I pay a membership as well ? Also I do not want to use lightroom mobile and it is trying to sync my photos. I use a MAC

Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.

If this is not the situation you face then provide some more details.

Lack of LAB and CMYK support in Lightroom is plain dumb

There is a lack of consistency in Lightroom if it allows you to elect to edit an image in Photoshop but then it can't follow through and display either a LAB PSD or a CMYK PSD. Both these file types are widely used by Pro-photographers. Afterall there is a whole bunch of stuff that's easier to do in Lab or CMYK rather than in RGB. The lightroom development team seem to suggest that photographers shouldn't be doing anything more advanced than Lightroom can handle. Well if you look at pre-print sharpening Lightroom is still awful - LOW/MED/HIGH just doesn't cut it and isn't at anything like pro level. To get any sensible preprint sharpening you've almost gotta go to photoshop. For many images sharpening is best done on the L channel of Lab (along with a whole bunch of other adjustment layer corrections). Most people like to keep these layers and so returning a master file to RGB just isn't an option. Sure there is no further need for editing such an image in Lightroom, but as part of Lightroom's function is DAM then its fairly essential to be able to at least preview all your image files - to know where they are and what you have.
Its just no good boasting about Lightroom's ability to search through images using metadata etc if ultimately it can't find and display your -finished- image versions 'cos they just happen to be Lab or CMYK PSDs.
If Adobe Lightroom team are promoting Lightroom as a pro-photographers tool them you gotta listen to how pro-photographers work and not get lost in your own ideology based rhetoric of keeping Lightroom pure. I haven't yet found two pro-photographers with identical "pure" workflows.
Come on Adobe - we don't want to edit them - we just want to be able to preview them in Library ;-)

Have to say as a working professional who earns his keep from doing raw conversions, proof prints, cutouts etc Lightroom's lack of CMYK support is very much a pain in the a**. I'm not asking for a full set of CMYK editing tools - I've got those in Photoshop thanks very much.
What I am asking for is at least the ability to round trip files from Lightroom into Photoshop, convert to CMYK and reimport the CMYK version into the catalog alongside the RGB file from which it originated and then to allow me to open the original CMYK file back into Photoshop without any tweaks being applied by Lightroom. This would allow Lightroom to really fill the role of a DAM in our studio and allow us much simpler workflow tracking than at present. As things stand we have to save the files in separate locations from our RGB versions on our server and then catalog them using another application.
Come on Adobe please listen to your professional user base as I know I'm not alone in these requiements and the studios that I've shown Lightroom to have all ended up asking the question "What about the final CMYK versions?"
BTW I'm in full agreement with Ian on the other points and without sounding snotty to Don - who I have read many interesting and sensible posts from - maybe if you don't want to cover this ground again just walk a different direction and leave those of us who do NEED this feature to discuss the best way of implenting it. I have also sent this request to Adobe so I'm not just a moaner who sit's here doing nothing about the issues that affect me.
Cheers for now.

I have just sought to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

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.

I am trying to re load Lightroom 5.7 frommy outside hard drive to my new hard drive . I am able to reach a certain point in the download and I am then asked for the access code which I do not have. I had upgraded on line from Lightroom3.

Hello,
I just had the hard drive on my computer replaced, and the Lightroom5.7 and Photoshop cannot be sent over from the outside hard drive without an access code!! Now what do I do? Will Adobe have a record of my Lightroom3 download and my 5.7 upgrade?

If you took the time to register your software on the Adobe web site, then you can log on and retrieve your serial numbers.
Find your serial number quickly
You ought to be able to retrieve the serial numbers from your first hard drive ... that requires knowing what your operating system is and if the first hard drive actually is readable.
And if none of that works ... well then I think you're way out of luck.
Might I suggest you adopt a new method of keeping track of your serial numbers, not just for Lightroom but all of your software? I suggest you create a computer text file named serialnumbers.txt, containing all of your serial numbers, stored on your computer and in a cloud backup service (like DropBox which is free) so that you will never lose it.

Files edited in Lightroom and displayed correctly in Bridge are not really saved

Hi I used Lightroom 3 to edit pics on a laptop, saved. Transferred the files through explorer to a USB card, copied to my desktop. Opened though Bridge CS4 – the pics were displayed perfectly (as edited). Through explorer however the pics were shown as not edited – so I found out the files were not saved as edited, but the editing info was added to the files. Not too bad but how should I order prints? Or show the pics on a computer where there is not Lightroom nor Bridge? The only method known to me is opening all files in Photoshop and saving the files there. Hell of a job! Please help. Thank you. Dmitry

Not sure what this means. Where was the editing info added to?
Sometimes using an external drive on can run into permission problems, so the info is not written. Can this be a reason?

How can I integrate metadata and keywords in Lightroom with those in Photoshop, Bridge, and Photoshop Elements? In other words, is there a way to retrieve common metadata templates from all modules? Thanks!

Keyword and Metadata Integration throughout Adobe Modules

Thanks! That's helpful.
What I mean by "common metadata", is a unified, updated, most current metadata, which I could update in each program. That is without overwriting the metadata, but appending new keywords to the metadata I created in the previous program.
I use Bridge, then Lightroom and finally Photoshop. That's the regular workflow: Bridge for preliminary sorting and and adding some keywords; Lightroom for organizing and picking the best images; finally, Photoshop for processing. I got Photoshop Elements on trial. Doesn't work for my purposes.
I need to share and update the metadata / keywords when I go from one program into another. Can't retrieve metadata I set up in Bridge into Lightroom. Same happens with Photoshop, where I can't retrieve keywords I add in Lightroom. It's tedious to write up the keywords again.
Thanks for your efforts!

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

Help

I am six minutes into the video and while Jan is doing a great (terrific, actually) job of explaining things I already know, she has yet to explain the subject issue. So I am unsure what "at the beginning" means... is there a time-marker for the point you are referring to?
Anyway, I have Lightroom v5.5 and Photoshop CC 2014 installed on two machines -- a Win v8.0 Laptop and a Win v8.1 Desktop. Adobe Camera Raw (in Photoshop) is v8.5 on the Laptop and v8.2 on the Desktop. Therefore when I "edit in" in Photoshop on the Desktop I, too, get the OP's error message. When I use the "Update" option under the "Help" menu in Photoshop (on the Desktop), I am told that all the programs are "Up-to-date."
Does anyone know how to force an ACR update? In other words is there an "install" process somewhere?
Edit: Jan's explanation of the error message starts a the 31:50 mark. It does not, however, answer my question about updating Photoshop CC 2014.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
"It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
Tony

Tony,
Here's something you might try:
Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
Let us know how you make out.

Printing: Lightroom and Photoshop

Ok...so today I tried to run my first print since getting lightroom. Quick run down on my color management (although I am still learning on this subject as well). My monitor is calibrated with an eye one display. My camera (Canon 300D) is set to AdobeRGB profile. I am running an Epson 2400, Ilford Smooth Pearl paper, with the profile provided from Ilford, and have it set to have the printer determine colors. And I am running Lightroom and Photoshop CS2.
I have been printing with this combonation beautifully for about a year now. I do have one small thing about my setup, even calibrated, my monitor is a little dark, so I must do a small curves adjustment on my final version to get the print to be perfect. I have accepted this (not the newest or best monitor) and just set an action to run before printing.
So, today, I tried to print from Lightroom. The print came out WAY too dark...I mean, my blue sky is a dark purple...odd. So I said, well I need this print, let me move it to photoshop, drop the curve and print from there. Well...the blue came out blue, but the image is still a little dark...I will play with the curve again to see if I can get it right. I don't have a problem with doing this for now, but I am wondering why the images are darker then they used to be, even in photoshop.
Also, can I create actions in Lightroom, something like develop presets that I can run AFTER I am done working on an image that we prep the document for print?
Sorry for the long post...thanks for any help...

So...you're using the canned profile from Ilford...and in Lightroom you've added that via "Other" correct? When you select that profile you are then using Lightroom color management and then you go into the Epson driver under Properties, Mode Custom and then select Off under Color Management, right? You've also selected the correct media that Ilford reccomends with the Pearl paper?
If you hit print from there than that should take care of it. Note however that if you change the page template, it _WILL_ change the print output settings making you update to the profile again.
So far, I get equal output results from Lightroom and Photoshop CS2/3 when using the same profile and printing under Mac or Win. So, if you are _NOT_ getting the same results, your settings are not equal-something somewhere is set incorrectly.
