Lightroom CC exports Jpgs in wrong orientation ONLY when Overwriting WITHOUT WARNING

This is the first time I post so please bare with me, I will try to explain as much as I can because it is an specific issue.
The computer I have at work uses Windows 7 pro (Brand New Computer). I import pictures from a network drive, manipulate the pictures and then save them to the same drive. When I see the pictures in the folder browser on windows the pictures have a landscape orientation (even though they should be portraits because they are head shots). Once I import those pictures to LR they appear with the right orientation (portrait), so I play with the pictures and export them to a JPG file. The issue I'm having is when I export with the setting "Overwrite WITHOUT WARNING", I see the picture in the file explorer (Windows) and I can see all the changes I made, but with the old picture's orientation (the wrong one, Landscape) . However, If I choose to create a new file (not overwriting) it will have the orientation I viewed in LR. (The correct one, portrait). Anyone knows how to export overwriting with the orientation I was seeing in LR?
Thanks,
//UPDATE: Also, I just noticed cropping is NOT working when exporting with the same setting "Overwrite WITHOUT WARNING". I had to create new files on a folder and the move and replace in Windows File Browser.

Yes I have been trying to use my main catalogue, not the back ups - I thought the main catalogue was updated in synch with the latest back up - the reason you can fall back on a back up if all goes pear-shaped. .
I have managed to resolve the issue as follows:
I accessed an external hard drive (bootable back up of main computer) and the main Lightroom catalogue. Upon launching Lightroom it gave me the option to use the last saved back up Catalogue and as the default one. This workaround didn't work the same on my main computer as recent image imports and work done were missing.
I had to delete the main catalogue on my main computer and drag the one from the external back up HD to rectify the situation.
I have no idea why this has occurred as all I did on my main computer was delete 10 redundant back up folders after which Lightroom failed to launch citing one of the oldest back ups as missing.
I wonder why Lightroom saved the most recent back-up (upon closing Lightroom) in a Zip folder only? - not noticed this behaviour before.

I use Adobe lightroom to export images to Facebook - I am now getting error message related to this process address not understood- how to correct?

I am using Win & Home edition / Mozilla Firefox on my HP laptop. On Oct 8 I used Lightroom to export images to Facebook. Now when I try to repeat this, authentication fails as The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (lightroom) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
The export process was working, but isn't now. I have ben having problems with Firefox - I wasn't able to retain the settings for opening with my own Homepage (kept going back to Firefox default. So I have done a reset. Seems that this has somehow disrupted the authentication process. Can you help please.

I just dropped into the forums to see if other people were getting the DVD burning verification error (Error code 0x80020063). I've been holding off on the Tiger to Leopard upgrade until very recently. All of my must-have apps were anecdotally stable and I was under the impression that 10.5 was too. Apparently reliable DVD burning is Tiger only, at least on my systems.
We've been burning Taiyo Yuden DVD's almost daily with Tiger with incredibly low failure rates. After what seemed to be a smooth upgrade of a Mac Pro tower & 2 MacBook Pro laptops (one is a Core Duo and the other is a Core 2 Duo) I've spent the entire afternoon troubleshooting until I ended up here. Some searching on the board leads me to conclude that this will be a bigger headache than I imagined.
I've done all the obvious stuff (varied the burn speed, moved the files to a different drive, reset PRAM & SMC, used a different account, deleted finder.plist, tried repairing the system with DU on the Leopard install disc and then I tried burning on different computers with different media). What I'm finding is that over 50% of my DVD's are throwing the error code during verification across 3 different models all running Leopard 10.5.2. CD burning seems to work as before (but we don't use this as much so ?). I saw that some people had posted that closing the finder window helped, but that didn't improve my overall failure rate. The DVD's appear (indentical byte size and item numbers) to be burned correctly and usable, but I need to be sure so I can't trust them.
We need reliable DVD burning for our business and this is a real problem. I was going to trudge over to the Apple store, but it doesn't sound like there's a real fix yet.

PS CS action not working on Lightroom-exported JPGs

Hi,
I am using an old version of Photoshop (CS) and the latest version of Lightroom.
I export the Lightroom image as a JPG, then open in Photoshop (either via LR Droplet as part of post-processing or manually). I try to run two actions: 1) resize the photo, and 2) add watermark using a .PDF file. What happens is the following:
- I can run the "resize" action and it works fine, but the "add watermark" action does not work - it adds the blank layer background and the watermark is missing
- If I run the "add watermark" action first, before resizing, that works fine. However, I would like to resize first and THEN add the watermark.
Please note that these two actions, in any order, work perfectly with normal JPGs. I am only seeing this problem on a .JPG that has been exported from Lightroom.
I have tried adding the graphical watermark in Lightroom upon expert, but it just does not look as good as when I add it in Photoshop, which is why I need this extra PS step.
Any comments and insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

No, this is true for all jpegs. When manually saving a jpeg with layers in PS, PS will show a caution symbol in the save dialog box. In the latest versions of PS it defaults ot saving the file as a copy and merging automatically. It leaves the original file intact, though. I dont remember what PS CS1 did by default. Point being that when running this process as an action, PS may have to decide what to do with the layer without user input.
Jpegs created in LR are the same as any other jpgs. It very well may be a color space issue with the pdf. The jpegs that you are used to might be in sRGB and you might be exporting AdobeRGB(98) or ProPhoto from LR.
Another possiblity would be where the pdf is located on your system. PS actions may be using relative paths instead of absolutes. IDK... that would be something for the PS forum.
My plan of attack would be:
1. Check the color space used on export.
2. Add a merge visible to your action.
3. Save the PDF watermark as a jpeg.

My lightroom 5.5 will not export jpg or any other type of photo from the original RAW/NEF uncompressed file. I get a message saying there is a Win 32 "file missing." I unistalled 5.5 and reinstalled 5.4 and it works fine. What to do? Anyone else have

LRoom 5.5 does not export files under any circumstances. I've chosen different locations; putting it in Lightroom NEF to JPG, putting it in another program, same conversion.
I get a "win 32 file missing.....". I did not copy that message as it was not complete. I uninstalled 5.5 and reinstalled 5.4 and it works just fine. I didn't notice any difference to begin with. Minor fixes for a few cameras and lenses.
Not being able to export is a SERIOUS problem and its not with my computer. If it worked for the last 3 years, it must be with 5.5.
Any ideas? Thanks for you input and help. Also, how does one get Adobe to interact directly with its customers rather than having the blind leading the blind??
Thanks

99.9% (estimated) of Lr5.5 users are not having the problem you are (can't export).
That said, for this type of problem, you may want to consider Adobe technical support instead of the forum - I prefer chatting..
If you want some advice from a fellow blind user: try renaming your preferences file (and all other Lr data files if preference file doesn't make a difference, try a new catalog if still no luck). If still the same error, consider posting the rest of that error message - it could be you just need another "win 32" file not being installed by Lr installer, but without knowing the filename, it's kinda hard to say.........
Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
PS - the logic: "no problem til Lr5.5, so Lr5.5 code at fault" sounds good on the surface, but is surprisingly flawed - perhaps you should consider yourself lucky the other versions worked despite the potential for problem, rather than considering yourself unlucky that you got nailed when upgrading to Lr5.5 .

How to find the original RAW file # from a Lightroom exported JPG?

Hello, this is in regards to a Lightroom 3.5 exported JPG. This was a year ago when I had been told it was best to export files with simple renumbering of them from 1 to x... instead of retaining the original RAW 4-digit file name.
I've currently lost the original files, and need to do a search for them via these 4 digits to see if I have them tucked away in any of my drives. I downloaded a metadata explorer, and it's telling me all the lightroom editing information, and everything else, but somehow does not have the simplest of information — that 4 digit original file name.
Am I grasping at straws or is there likely to be any way to find this information out? I don't work with metadata, so there wouldn't have been any customizations to how Lightroom configures this....hoping that's in my favor. Any help is much appreciated!!!!

A note about security (context: downloaded apps & plugins...).
Anatomy of a URL:
protocol://stuff.stuff.stuff.domain.domain-suffix/stuff/stuff?stuff=stuff
None of this stuff matters much except:
domain.domain-suffix (and protocol, to some extent).
So if you download something from:
http://ignafradifcawhatyousay.toolonganyway.my.server.com/gogafnoics...
It's coming from server.com using http (web) protocol.
But, if you download it from:
http://my.server.com.badguy.tv/...
It's coming from badguy.tv, NOT server.com, so if you want it from server.com - danger will robins...
And, if you download from
http://216.195.245.134/my.server.com
It's coming from an unregistered internet address (216.195.245.134) - again: danger...
(4 groups of up-to-3 digits separated by dots is the format for a literal internet (IP) address, instead of domain-name...)
Summary: if you learn the anatomy of a URL, and pay attention to the URL's you are clicking on, or entering directly, you can take more responsibility for security, and assure (to a greater extent) you don't download from an unfriendly source.

Lightroom 5 exporting wrong file sizes?

I am having trouble with Lightroom 5 exporting images at incorrect file sizes. For example, if I use my export preset for images with long edge 2500 pixels and maximum size 1000k it is exporting images at 1500-2500k.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I am wondering if it is a bug.
Thanks

I never had a problem with it in LR4. The example I gave was one of many options I tried. At the other end I asked it to produce smaller files (eg 1500pixels long edge) with a 1000k maximum and I could only get them to output at around 160k.
I have since realised that I neglected to mention that I was using LR/Mogrify2 plug in to add a text graphic to the images. I experimented with turning that option off and I was able to produce a 2500px long edge file at 996k. As soon as I turn that option on again the file ouptuts at 1600k (where I have specified at 1000k limit).
This was never a problem with LR4 so there is a conflict or a bug somewhere.
Is anyone else using a LR / Mogrify 2 plug in and experiencing unpredictable results? I have the option to use LR / Mogrify 2's version of ImageMagick checked.
Message was edited by: Shipp
So I just did further testing. It seems that LR5 cannot control the maximum file size when working with Lr / Mogrify 2. If I ask the plug in to resize the image and control the maximum file size I can produce a file with long edge 2500pix, 1000k maximum size and the text graphic with no problem at all, as I used to be able to do with LR4. I will contact the plug in developer and see if they are aware of this.

I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?

Lightroom 3 exporting issue: exported JPGs come out with much more noise than original edited files

Hi all,
My first post here so nice to meet everyone. I've been having some issues with exporting in Lightroom recently. It appeared to happen quite out of the blue. Sometimes when I export my edited .cr2 files as jpgs (in srgb), at a good quality (no less than 85), some of resulting jpgs seem to have exposure higher and/or a horribly large increase in the amount of visable noise. It seems many of the photos which this occurs in have pretty high settings for fill light, but even still, the noise is not visable in lightroom while editing the metadata linked .cr2.
I thought it might be the problem that I'm viewing the final exported jpgs in preview, but I also tried adding them back into the catalog and they look just as off. I just upgraded to 3.3, but it seems to be having the same issue. If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

No sharpening at all during my export, Ian. Sometimes I sharpen for screen at a standard strength, but I turned it off when I started seeing the extra artifacts but the results of the exports remains basically the same with or without sharpening.
However when I import it seems my photos already have some sharpening on them in the develop module. The settings there are sharpening = 25, radius = 1, Detail = 25, masking = 0. I honestly rarely mess with the sharpening, so I guess I skipped over those settings during the countless hours I have worked with LR! But I assume those are normal post import numbers, correct? I never apply development settings during import, that's why I say that. Thanks for keeping up the conversation and brainstorming Ian! Anyone else also free to chime in.

Lightroom 4 - GPS coordinates not saved in EXIF when Exporting JPGs

I have updated GPS coordinates using the new Map module but these are not output with the EXIF when I export JPGs.
I have ensured that Remove Location Info is unchecked.
I welcome any advice
regards
JWW001

As requested I attach screen shots of the LR4 metadata panel after I have updated the coordinates in LR4 and also the LR4 export dialog. Also a JPEG of the exported photo which still has the original coordinates untouched from the camera along with the EXIF coordinates. These are incorrect as the camera hadn't acquired the satellites. LR4 has successfully exported the copyright information.

Export jpg with sequence with LightRoom 4.2

Exporting jpgs is fine to watch them on TV or wherever. The problem is the incorrect order in the resulting filenames. They go like
pic-1
pic-10
pic-11
pic-2
pic-3
MUCH BETTER would be:
pic-001
pic-002
pic-010
pic-011
just like Photoshop Elements does it.
Any way to get that?
thnks
Ralph

Absolutely. In your Export options, you have file renaming options. These include numbering to as many padded zeroes as you want:
In order to include a particular naming item within the filename pattern, you would click Insert next to that after selecting which variant you want from the menu shown in the screenshot. This adds a corresponding new field into the template, which you can then manually edit further with removing prior items, typing in dividing spaces or dashes, fixed text etc.
If you select "sequence" numbering, for example - this should reflect any custom order you have put your images into. The first one seen in LR then becomes (e.g.) "img-001.jpg", the next "img-002.jpg" and so on. If you wanted to retain your original filename in there for reference, but still lead with this custom ordered sequence, you could assemble something like "001-[IMG_2345].jpg", "002-[IMG_2127].jpg", etc.

My exported JPGs are not recognized by Preview or Microsoft applications

Just converted from Photoshop to Lightroom on my Mac (O/S 10.7.5). I love the flexibility and speed but my exported JPGs are not recognized by Preview or any Microsoft application (Word, PowerPoint, etc). The only applications that will open them are LR or PS. I am exporting them from LR as JPGs.
What am I doing wrong?
Help Please

That's very odd. Could you attach a screen shot of your Export dialogue? Make sure it includes File Settings and Image Sizing:
You can use the "camera" icon (in the Forum's Reply tool bar) to attach the screen shot.
Also, it would be helpful to place one of the ill-behaved, exported JPEGs in a service like DropBox and post a link to it, so we can take a close look at it.

How do I export jpgs as tifs with the original resolution ?

Hi,
I am very new to Lightroom 5 (I only installed it today (on Windows 8.1) :-)) but I have read Victoria Bampton's Quick Start Guide and have read a number of forum posts over the last few weeks to get an idea about how the program generally works.
I am embarking on a project to scan and archive my family's photos and videos, and I will be using Lightroom to manage the collection. To start the project, I have just imported over 10,000 digital photos taken by a variety of cameras (36 of them, according to Lightroom !) over the last 12 years or so into a new Lightroom catalogue.   These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I started by doing an Export of a small number of photos to save the .jpg files as .tif files, but when reviewing the results, I noticed that the image's resolution was changed during the export. For example, one original jpg is only 96ppi but the exported tif is 240ppi. Another jpg is 180ppi and the tif is 240ppi. At least, that's what the metadata seems to be telling me (via the Details tab of the Properties dialog in Windows), so I assume it's true...
I understand that the 240ppi that I am seeing in the .tif file metadata was specified in the Image Sizing section of the Export dialog, so that's not the issue.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.   It would be great if the resolution setting in the Export dialog was controlled by the Resize to Fit checkbox, like the other settings in the section, but it doesn't appear to be (it's enabled even if the Resize to Fit checkbox is unticked).
I then thought about using the Library Filters to filter by the Horizontal Resolution metadata, so that I could select all the photos with the same resolution and export just those with the Resolution setting in the Export dialog set to the right number, and then repeat that process for each different group of original photos with a different resolution. Unfortunately, I have not been able to work out how to filter by the horizontal resolution metadata field - it doesn't seem to be available in the dropdown list of fields shown when I click on the up-down arrow next to the "Date" or "Camera" (etc.) columns in the Library Filter pane.
Finally, here's my question (or three):
Is there a way to export .jpgs to .tif files while keeping the original resolution ?
Alternatively, is there a way to select groups of photos by their horizontal or vertical resolution (so just those photos could be exported in a group with the right resolution specified) ?
Or is there any other way to do what I want (convert jpg to tif with the same resolution and keeping all the metadata) ?
Thanks for reading all the way through to the end.
John.

These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I'm not sure why you say this. In terms of long-term archival format, I think the two are equal, I am not aware of other reasons to do this, and thus in my opinion, the task of globally turning all your JPGs into TIFFs seems unnecessary. You don't gain anything by doing this. But you sure will spend a lot of time and take up a lot of disk space doing this.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.
Again, I think you have embarked upon an unnecessary task. The ppi in the file is essentially meaningless. A photo that has (for example) 3000x2000 pixels saved at 240 ppi is the exact same photo as the same photo 3000x2000 saved at 180ppi, not a single pixel has changed. You are placing a meaning and importance to this ppi number that just doesn't exist.
To answer your questions at the bottom, I would advise you to not do the things you are talking about, it seems to me that you have greatly misunderstood things.

Color Issues with exported JPGs

Hello,
This is my 1st post on the forums and hopefully someone can help. I am using a Dell 2407 24 inch LCD for photo processing. I have calibrated my monitor with Heey Pro 1.5. The custom profle loads at windows startup (I see the colors snap to the correct settings). I use Lightroom 2.6 and am running a Vista 64 bit PC. Everything is running great. However I have noticed that my files coming out of Lightroom look much more saturated color wise.
I'm a Photographer and shoot all photos in Canon RAW. Both cameras are set to sRGB. I then import the files into LR. When I'm done processing them, I export the files to JPG, 100 quality, sRGB. When I view them in windows, or through an image viewer or the web, the colors look much more saturated. My friend is running almost the exact same setup and his files look identical in LR, windows and in a web browser. What could be happening here? So as a result I think the files look good in LR but then when they are exported, the look way too saturated. What could be causing this???
Here's an example oo what I'm seeing: http://lifesharephoto.smugmug.com/photos/871756198_22ecN-L.png
Can someone please help me figure this out? Thank you!

It's your monitor. It is a wide gamut one (it probably has HC in the full name?), which means it has a response closer to adobeRGB than to the standard sRGB. When you use non color managed apps (such as internet explorer) on such a monitor and use sRGB, the image will appear oversaturated. You need to only judge color in color managed apps on such a monitor. Some browsers are color managed such as Firefox and Safari. Unfortunately Firefox does not know how to deal with profiles generated from the Huey Pro, so it will not color manage when you use that calibrator. Safari will always color manage. Other apps that color manage are Photoshop, Windows picture viewer (for Vista and later), Irfanview (latest versions), etc. On the Mac almost every program color manages.

Export jpg to new folder just copy unmodified pics

Is there a way to export jpg files to a new folder and let lightroom process only the modified pictures and leave others untouched. Here is a short example what I mean by that:
1. I take 100 photos
2. I apply edits to 50 of the photos, the other 50 look fine as is.
3. I want to export all the photos to a new folder with new names based on the event.
4. Of course my altered JPEGs will need to be reprocessed and resaved with varying degrees of JPEG compression.
5. But the photos that were not altered I’d simply like copied to the new folder with in sequence filenames
Is there a way to do that with lightroom?

Lightroom cannot do it automatically, I mean, deciding which one to export as a new recomressed JPEG and which one to just copy.
So, you'll have to separate the two groups manually and perform two separate exports.
1. Use the Library filter to separate by "Develop settings": Untouched JPEGS will be in the "Default" group, while edited jpegs will either be in custom or a develop preset.
2. Export edited with the jpeg settings you need.
3. Export unedited as "original".

Why do exported JPGs appear darker than the processed RAW in the LR3 Development module?

I have scoured the forums with this question, and I have seen plenty of suggestions about color space and monitor calibration. However, I never seem to find that the issue gets resolved in the forums.
I am using Lightroom 3, and I am exporting to JPG using sRGB. I have noticed that the JPGs appear darker and the prints are also darker. I am using the same monitor to process in LR and to view the exported JPG. Why don't the images look the same, or at least similar? The difference is pretty huge.

… What do you mean by export in an mp4 wrapper? Do you mean export it as an mp4 format instead of H264?? …
no, exactly I did NOT meant that.
that's why I phrased 'wrapper':
a bit confusing, but there's mpeg4, the codec, and there's mp4 the wrapper or media-container:
• use your .mov you have already exported, which has the right colors.
• download/install the free tool Mpeg Streamclip
• open your mov, go straight to 'save as' and choose from drop down mp4
• save and upload that mp4 for comparison to Vimeo
• (tell us, wether you notice any difference, as said, just an assumption)
What will that do?
your h264 encoded material is actually in a .mov-wrapper
Streamclip unwraps that, and puts it into a .mp4-wrapper
this does NOT encode/transcode/affect your h264 material!
it just changes the box, not the chocolate!
What's NOT working is changing the suffix in a Finder operation - that does NOT affect the 'atoms' of the wrapper = a re-named mp4 will be 'noticed' by many programs/players as a mov anyhow! You HAVE to go the 'long' way with Streamclip - due to the simple re-packing operation, that process needs only seconds
I'm using this process to 'convert' my FCPX/iMovie .mov-exports to a readable format for my son's Playstation3 ... mov is a nogo, re-named suffix is a nogo. only re-wrapping to .mp4 works. excellent.
... but, as mentioned, I do care very little about gamma and luma as an hobbyist, my 'products' are under-exposured and veeery colorful anyhow
