Lightroom *.dcp files

I use LR2.2 under Mac OSX, I find that I have multiple *.dcp files for the Leica M8 -
In Camera Profiles/Adobe Standard I have:
Leica M8 Adobe Standard.dcp
Leica M8 Digital Adobe Standard.dcp
Leica M8 Digital Camera Adobe Standard.dcp
M8 Digital Camera Adobe Standard.dcp
In Camera Profiles/Camera/Leica M8 I have:
Leica M8 Camera Standard.dcp
Leica M8 Digital Camera Camera Standard.dcp
Leica M8 Digital Camera Standard.dcp
M8 Digital Camera Camera Standard.dcp
All files in each folder have the same Creation Date and size.
Can anyone help me ...
1. Where did they all come from?
2. In the Camera Profiles in LR2 I get "acr3.6, acr4.4, Adobe Standard, Camera Standard" as options, which of the above files would I be using when I select one the 'Standard Options'?
3. Which are the ones I should be using? (i.e. which files should I delete?
4. Or are they all the same?
Thank-you in advance - I like to know what I am using!!

>1. Where did they all come from?
You installed them with LR 2.2
>2. In the Camera Profiles in LR2 I get "acr3.6, acr4.4, Adobe Standard, Camera Standard" as options, which of the above files would I be using when I select one the 'Standard Options'?
The standard one is "Adobe Standard". This is the one you should get when you hit reset in Lightroom if you haven't changed the camera defaults. The camera standard will make the colors match that of a jpeg shot in camera with all-default settings. The acr ones are mostly historical.
>3. Which are the ones I should be using? (i.e. which files should I delete?
You should delete none of them. Lightroom automatically picks the right one depending on what you select in the calibration section. Just leave those files alone.
>4. Or are they all the same?
No. My guess is there are different copies of the M8 that identify themselves differently in their RAW files. This might necessitate multiple issues of the same profile.

My *.dcp files disappeared !!!

Hi !
Some months ago I installed various *.dcp files for fine colour management of my Sony and Olympus raw photos under LR and Camera Raw (last Creative Cloud versions).
Everything was working fine.
But suddenly, those options simply disappeared on my PC W7 Pro 64bits !!!
On my Laptop W7 family 64bits, they are still here...
As the original colour profile for A900 / 850 is simply horrible, I urgently need my custom ones.
Thank you in advance for your help

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files or versions should I have in my database of images?

When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files should I have in my Library? I start with a RAW file or a tiff scan from film. I label that "A" as the archived file. I make a virtual copy to work on in the Develop module. When I am done, I save a file as a Print file with dimensions of the print. Since Lightroom is non-destructive, do I need to save any other versions? For instance, in Photoshop since the crop is destructive,
I edit an uncropped version and do the crop when I am working on the Print version. What should I have for the most flexibility over time in Lightroom?
I use Lightroom CC on a IMAC desktop. My photos are on a separate hard drive and are also backed up offline. Im running OSX10.9.4.

You don't need to make a virtual copy before you edit the photo (this is optional, but most people don't bother as its extra work with little or no benefit). EXCEPTION: If you are doing multiple crops of the image, you would need virtual copies in that case, created after all other editing is completed.
You can't "save" from Lightroom, you can "export". (It's a terminology thing) You would need to export a photo at the desired dimensions for printing, but there's no need to retain this exported photo, you can consider it temporary and delete it once the print has been made, knowing that you can always re-create it exactly from Lightroom if you need it.
So to answer the question in your title, all you need to retain on your hard disk is your original image (and in the EXCEPTION case where you have multiple crops of the image, you would retain the multiple virtual copies in Lightroom).

Lightroom processed files crash Bridge

I have been experiencing Bridge crashes when I try to open folders with Lightroom processed files in them. I tested this with all the folders of CR2 processed files. When the folder is chosen and as Bridge begins to process the files, it crashes. Moving the files to other folders, renaming them, adding them one at a time, all cause Bridge to crash. Other folders processed with ACR or other software render fine and Bridge behaves as expected. I am running Lightroom 1.0, Bridge 2.1, on a MacPro 2.66/OS10.4.9/ 5 gb RAM, 750 gb Raid.

Here is the workflow. I import CR2 files from my CF cards using Lightroom. I add keywords, ratings, and general corrections to color and exposure using the Develop module. I will than sort the CR2s into sub folders based upon their ratings. I than export the files as tifs and jpegs into their own folders. When I attempt to use Bridge to access any of these folders, it crashes. When accessing folders with ACR processed CRW and CR2 raw files, Bridge has no problem. The word process, here, means files that have had adjustments made that will change the XMP file. These adjustments range from minor to major.
Photoshop has no problems opening either the CR2s or the tifs or the jpegs processed in Lightroom. As long as Bridge is not used, everything works as expected.
The ACR versions used to process some of the files are all versions since its introduction.

Where should DNG profile editor install the .dcp file?

Just made my first attempt to create a custom camera profile using the X-Rite color checker passport and the DNG Profile Editor.
Thanks to the excellent tutorial, the process went smoothly. Next I took the final step of exporting the profile (.dcp) file, expecting to find the new profile when I opened an image in ACR. Unfortunately the new profile was not listed in the Camera Profile dropdown menu.
After much searching I discovered that the profile was written to the folder containing the .dng images used to construct the profile. Obviously not where it belongs in order for ACR to find it. I assumed that "Export Profile" would automatically write the .dcp file to the proper location.
Where should the .dcp files be installed for Win7x64 running ACR 8.2.?
Is there a way to establish the proper location as the default in the Profile Editor?
Thanks for your help.

Custom-created .DCP profile files go into the following location under your Windows Users folder:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
The AppData folder is a hidden-system folder so you may need to turn on the viewing of those type of folders in your Explorer folder view options or just type \AppData into the folder address area and hit Enter once you get to your username folder.

Lightroom cache files permanently written to alternate drive

I've encountered an unusual problem using LR version 1.4.1 under Windows XP. Whenever I preview a RAW file in LR, a cache file is being written to an alternate drive, named Cache0000000001.dat, with each additional preview increasing the last digit in the file name by 1, Cache0000000002.dat, etc., and an Index.dat file. Each cache file is 2532kb or 8607kb depending on the size of the original RAW file. After closing Lightroom, these files remain on the disk and have to be manually deleted.
This has only begun to happen in the past couple of days. I therefore assume it's due to some change I've made recently. The change began after I removed Photoshop CS2 after having both CS2 and CS3 installed for several weeks. I don't know how the particular disk for writing these cache files is being selected other than the fact that my CS3 scratch disk is the same disk. The Lightroom files are on a separate disk.
This is not a major problem except that the cache files add up very quickly, taking up a lot of disk space and must be deleted manually after closing LR.
There is probably no simple explanation for this anomaly but if anyone has any ideas, I certainly would appreciate the input.

Ian,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, you are correct. The preferences in Camera Raw determine where these cache files go and does limit the size of the total cache. The default is 10 GB which suits me fine. Where these files have been going in the past is a mystery to me.
It does seem surprising to me that the location for the Lightroom cache is
determined in Photoshop Camera Raw but so be it.
Again, thanks for solving this problem for me.

Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file

Hi,
in an effort to make the edit-in option in LR work, I found instructions that I need to reset the preference file for LR. I followed the following directions, see below.
However, even with holding the option key down on my iMac, as directed, I cannot find the folder and file. I do not have a Library folder under my username, but only one under hard drive, and in there I can find com.adobe.photoshop files, but no LR file. Can anybody help me?

Try making hidden folders and files visible temporarily following the steps described here Quickly Show/Hide Hidden Files on Mac OS X Mavericks & Yosemite | Ian Lunn - Front End Developer, it applies to Mavericks but I think is also valid for Yosemite (but not 100% sure). Please don't use a external drive when hidden folders and files are visible as there might be a bug with LR5.7.1 on Yosemite when they are visible (not fully sure).
When you are done with the preferences, make hidden folders and files invisible again.

Lightroom Looses Files After Name Change by Bridge

If I use Bridge to change the names of files in my Lightroom DB when I open Lightroom those file's thumbnails have a "?" on them and Lightroom says it can't find them.
I look for them manually and they are in the Lightroom storage folder with their new name.
Is there a way for Bridge and Lightroom to tell each other what they have done to save this extra step of locating the files and IDing for Lightroom one by one?
Or should I just stop using bridge and stay with Lightroom only?
Thanks,
Tom

Or should I just stop using bridge and stay with Lightroom only?
I'd say: yes, of course! (But this will certainly start a heated debate ; - )

Lightroom Corrupt Files

Within the last couple days, I have come across an issue in Lightroom. When transferring photos from PhotoMechanic to Lightroom, the file becomes corrupt. The issue comes when the file is brought into Lightroom (and even Photoshop).
I have an inkling it is something to do with my computer. I have used multiple memory cards. And tonight following the game, a colleague of mine imported the photos onto his computer through both PhotoMechanic and Lightroom with no issues to any image.
Equipment:
Canon 1Dx
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
Here's what it looks like in my Library view:
Here is how the file looks in PhotoMechanic (left):
Lightroom is updated to the latest 5.7 version and Camera Raw is updated to the latest 8.7 version. My colleague, who's computer everything worked correct on, was using the same version of both programs.
I can rule out that it is not the memory cards, camera body, memory card reader. I feel that it is something within my software or the laptop itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Brace

It will not be the software. BTW Photomechanical just uses the jpeg previews in the file not the raw data.
Are you sure it is not the car reader or cable?? How did you rule this out??
I would suggest the ram may be faulty or the hard drive is failing but probably ram. Take it to Apple.

Forgot to move lightroom backup files

Hi, I recently changed my laptops and in the transition I goofed up with Lightroom 5 backup data. I copied over the lightroom catalog files but forgot to copy the lightroom raw images backup folder, like the ones named 2014, 2015, 1,2, etc. I have the original raw images from my camera sd card. Is there a way I can re-apply the changes I did in my catalogs to these original raw images? I tried the feature find missing raw images, but it did not work. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks!

Thanks dj_paige! I will try this tonight. I just took a quick glance and still have this question: I dont have the old backup folders (2014, 2015, etc) saved anymore. They are gone. I just have catalog files and raw images on sd card. Not sure if the above link works for this situation as well. Will try it and let you know. Thanks for the comment!

How do I re-organize my lightroom image files

I realize that this may be covered in similar discussions, but nothing I've been able to find is exactly the same as my issue, so I'll try a new thread:
I'm on an Imac running latest versions of everything. I copy my images from the camera card to a hard drive folder (When this folder reaches 4gb, I create a backup DVD and and start a new folder). I move the images from the internal hard drive into Lightroom. (Approx. 10,000 images)
As the internal HD fills, I move the oldest original image files to external drives. These drives are also now filled, so I have purchased a 2Terrabyte LaCie Raid. This gives me 1TB of usable and will hold everything that is now on the internal and the externals. I will use the old externals for archived images in an off site location.
I would like to move everything that is image related to the new Hard drive. I will keep the Lightroom program files on the internal drive, but all the new and old images and their associated (sidecar) files I would like to move to the new drive.
What is the best way to accomplish this.
Thank you
Steve

In addition to Pete's excellent help, it might help to, before you move your files, right (or control) click on one of your highest level folders, and select "Add Parent Folder". In a typical folder structure, this will add a single top level folder that all your folders sit inside. Then quit Lightroom, move your images folder in its entirety in Finder/Explorer and then reopen Lightroom. Now right (or control click) on the missing folder and relocate the missing folder. This will save a lot of relocating. Also check out this article by Forum host Ian Lyons.

Camera Profiles not being installed after adding .dcp files to a CameraProfiles folder.

Hi fellas, recently I downloaded some camera profiles for my Nikon D7000 and Sony RX100MII and added to CameraProfiles folder which can be found under Application Support folder on my mac. However when I open my lightroom and go to Lens Correction those camera profiles would not show up in the option at all. I shoot with RAW, so I don't think format is the root of the issue here. This is my first time trying adding Camera Profiles so I might be making some very fundamental mistakes. I would appreciate any kind of advices, thank you very much.

See the instruction below for the location where your profiles should be placed. If they are placed in the same folder where Lightroom install package places the profiles created by Adobe they will not be recognized.
Your custom Camera Raw & Lens Profiles should be installed to the User folders…
Lightroom 5 no longer uses the shared ProgramData (Windows) / Application Support (Mac) folders for Camera or Lens Profiles. Instead, it stores the built-in profiles with its program files.
When you create camera or lens profiles, they must be stored in the user locations listed below. If you previously stored custom profiles in other locations, you’ll need to move them to these user folders, otherwise Lightroom won’t be able to find them.
Windows—C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \ CameraProfiles \
Mac—Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /
For the lens profiles, substitute the LensProfiles folder for the CameraProfiles folder.
The camera and lens profile file extensions are:
.dcpr—camera profile recipe file used for creating/editing a profile in the DNG Profile Editor
.dcp—camera profile
.lcp—lens profile

Trying to upload raw cr2 files and Lightroom says "file is not recognized"

Backstory: I photographed a VERY important commercial shoot today and I went to upload the photos to Lightroom. The first 30 images uploaded just fine, but the rest won't. Lightroom says the file is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom (401). Everything is updated in my computer... Lightroom, Photoshop ect. Photoshop also says that the file cannot be read. I can't open them in iPhoto or preview either. BUT I can see the thumbnail when I click the camera card reader on the desktop. I am uploading from a card reader as well. I shot with this card yesterday and everything was fine. I NEVER delete photos off my camera, and I always format it. If it is corrupted, how do you I find that out, and is there anyway to get my photos back?
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am panicking. Help, please.
Thank you in advance

The two raw files you've uploaded to dropbox are corrupted so Lightroom and Photoshop are giving you the correct message. At least with these two, the embedded JPG preview is there but the raw data is not correct so cannot be rendered. Here is the error that Canon's own software gives when the files are attempted to be edited:
You should reattempt to copy the images from the memory cards to your computer using a card reader and an operating-system function (Explorer or Finder) to do it rather than LR or a cable connected to the camera, then see if things work any better. If you already used a card reader, then try a different one and see if the situation improves.
If you cannot get a better set of images by retransferring them, then we can work through how to extract the embedded JPG previews en masse.
