Lightroom export and copyright symbol

Why copyright symbol © from my metadata preset looks like (c) in the properties menu of the file after exporting photo? ( I can see this (c) in the properties menu- summary of the file)
I'm using Lightroom 3.2. and Windows XP.
Thanks.

EXIF only allows for ASCII-encoded 7-bit NULL-terminated strings, so the © symbol cannot be represented. So LR needs to change it to *something*. It is debatable if the (c) is the right thing to change to, as the US Copyright office only seems to recognize the symbol © or the English word "Copyright". Other countries may vary.

Symbols? I need TM and copyright symbols. Where are they?

I ame using webfont Annie Get Your Telescope. It does not show any symbols. How do I add Trademark and Copyright symbols into text used in Muse?
I there any html I need to add? I'm NOT a coder, so I don't even know where to put anything, except in Page Properties head. Anybody know??

I am a newbie, but I think I have a better answer. In the text frame, with the cursor where you want the symbol located, Just hold down the Alt key, and on the keypad (not the numbers along the top of the keyboard) enter 0153 and release the Alt key. The TM symbol will be entered as a character. Do the same for the copyright symbol (Alt 0169). I think this is MUCH better than the Symbols Lite widget which requires annoying and difficult positioning and repositioning if you modify the text the symbol is being applied to.
Another way is to just copy the symbol from any web page or document that uses the symbol, and paste into your text frame. It is then treated like any other character. You can display the character set for the font family you are using, or select a different font family with one that specializes in symbols.
Either approach is very easy to use, and much more usable than the Symbol Lite widget, it makes me wonder why anyone would use it. Also, It allows you to use many more symbols than the Widget provides.
Perhaps I am overlooking something?

Copyright symbol and metadata template question

In Bridge CS6 I have placed the copyright symbol, year and my name in the "Copyright Notice" section of a metadata template. Chosen "Copyrighted" in the "Copyright Status" section. And listed the terms in the "Right, Usage, Terms" section. When I apply the template everything appears except that in the "Copyright Notice" section only my name shows. No copyright symbol or year.
What am I doing wrong? Am I putting the information in the correct places? (I have done it this way before using Lightroom, and it worked fine.)

Sorry! User error. The copyright info I programmed in my camera was over riding the Bridge template. Duh. The template is working perfectly.

Lightroom 5 Exporting and Plugin Issues

Hello Everyone ! I would like to express my gratitude in advance for any advise or solutions the adobe community might provide me with these issues.
I've been using Lightroom 4.3 for the last year with no issues. I decided it was time to try out Lightroom 5 and it's new features. So I installed a trial of 5.6 via creative cloud . When I launched 5.6 it required me to update my catalog, which I did and didn't encounter any problems with the update. The first problem I encountered occurred when I attempted to export an edited raw file. The export progress bar stays at zero and never completes the export process, if it helps anyone , the files I am exporting to JPEG are Raw Nikon D600 files. If I attempt to do anything else while Lightroom is stuck in the export process , the program will become unresponsive and I'm not even able to kill the process via windows task manager. My second problem is the Plugin manager , on Lightroom 4.3 I use the Smugmug upload plugin . On 5.6 the plugin manager crashes every time I attempt to setup the Smugmug plugin. I've tried other third party plugins and those cause Lightroom to crash as well so I don't believe it's just the Smugmug plugin. I've tried every possible solution I was able to find doing web searches but nothing has worked so far...
The following is a list of steps I took to try to resolve the issues.
-In the export screen I made sure that "Do nothing" was swtiched to "go to explorer" in post processing
- uninstalled all plugins
- Unistalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5.6
-Uninstalled Lightroom 4.3 (perhaps a conflict ?)
-Created a new catalog and imported new files to that catalog
-disabled firewall and antivirus
- Tried various JPEG re-sized dimensions
- Tried to export to various Drives ( local, and external drives)
-Ran Lightroom 5.6 as an administrator
-Deleted Preference File
Hopefully everyone can see I've tried my best to find a solution but to no avail , it's quite frustrating since I really want to upgrade to 5.6 . I hope someone can provide a solution or point me in the right direction ! Sorry if this post is too long!

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.

Lightroom Export Action and Automator

Hi. Have an interesting anamoly that I hope someone an explain to me. I am trying to leverage Adobe Lightroom's export preset post-processing option to help in importing photos into iPhoto (where I can make easy use of the .mac photocasts). I created an Automator workflow comprised of the following actions: 1) Get Specified Finder items (with the export folder from Lightroom selected) 2) Get Folder Contents 3) Import Photos into iPhoto (with the delete source option selected).
I placed the Automator app, named "Import to iPhoto" into the Lightroom "Export Actions" folder and selected it in the post-processing drop down in my export preset. When exporting from this preset, the file(s) are exported as expected, however, for some reason the Automator action imports duplicate files into iPhoto for each photo exported. If the photos are exported separately without the post-processing export action, and then the Automator action is run manually, there are no duplicate files imported. Does anybody have any ideas what might be occuring here?

Export error in Lightroom 4 and 5

Afternoon,
I am struggling with issues in all three of my Adobe programs right now, but I thought I'd start with Lightroom. I've been using Lightroom 4 for the past year or so. I just upgraded to Lightroom 5 thru the CC and I'm still having the issue. Everything worked fine until a few months ago. When I try to export and image, I can only export if I leave the location on the last place I used before it quit working which happens to be my desktop. If I try to click the choose button to go to another location, I get an error.
An internal error has occured
***-[_NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 23 beyond bounds [0 .. 19]
I've tried updating my driver and making sure that it doesn't launch at startup, but that isn't helping. I can still export, but I'm really getting sick of pulling everything from my desktop and moving them to folders.
Any idea what is going on?
Thanks!
JP

No idea, but first thing I'd try is resetting the preferences file. You can find instructions here:

Lightroom 2 colour difference in lightroom vs. export and print

Hi,
I am currently using Lightroom 2 and Windows Vista, monitor profile is Dell's E248WFP Color profile.
The problem I have is that everything looks fine in lightroom, I was able to see the black backdrop with some defining detail on it. However, when I export the photo (export colour space: sRGB) and view it, the photo darkens, I could no longer see any detail in the black backdrop (I've tried othercolour space like the adobeRGB but results is the same). I understand that there could be difference using Windows viewer as someone has pointed out to me. I tried importing what I've just exported from lightroom back into lightroom and I could see all the original details.
So I am guessing it's just an issue with windows viewer not able to display all the colours intended. I than send the file to "Blacks photography" (photo developing store) for printing and the same issue exists, it's darker than what is displaying in lightroom. Could someone please point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, I bought a Spyder pro 3 thinking that might solve the problem but I think the problem is what is being exported? (not sure)
Photo looks good in LR but after exporting, open the file and looks different in windows photo gallery than what's in LR.
So I tried looking at the exported jpg in LR and it looks good in LR. I assume that's normal as people has mentioned that LR will display more colour and do it correctly. The problem for me than is printing. I send the photos to local photo processing stores and the colour is still off. Sorry for the ramble but here are some of my questions:
I assume it's completely ok that photos look different in LR and windows photo gallery (or even other viewer). As look as it looks ok in LR than it's fine?
Is the problem with a low quality monitor (Dell's E248WFP)?
I might not be calibrating it correctly? (will try again)
Thanks again!!

How can I export the very cool Lightroom Map and link to the photos which show on the map?

How can I export the very cool Lightroom Map and link to the photos which show on the map?
I love the way Lightroom imported my .gpx files, automatically geocoded the photos, and show where I took them on the map.
Would love to export this lovely map and the photos which have been geocoded to the map.
Anyone know how to export this as an HTML file I can import into my web site.
I'm a Realtor in Berkeley, and integration of the elegant map and the photos. It would be perfect way to show my clients where the homes are, and what they look like.

You probably didn't get an answer because none exists within Lightroom.
You can perform a screen caputre of the Lightroom map, and use the resulting JPG/GIF of your screen, however there is no way to hyperlink the point on the map to your photos.
You might want to consider a non-Lightroom solution, such as uploading the photos to an Album on Flickr (or one of many other photo sharing web sites) and using the mapping capabilites there, which would be hyperlinked to your photos, see example below. You can use Lightroom to geotag the photos and then use Lightroom to upload to Flickr (or other web site) and then use the web site to create and display the map

I downloaded the free trial of Lightroom 5 and love it but I can't export the images to a folder. Is this because it is a free trial?

Yes, but I don't know enough about iPhoto to understand the consequences of "imported them into iPhoto first". In any event, I do understand the needs of Lightroom, and if the photos have been moved or renamed or deleted (or if the folders that contain them have been moved or renamed or deleted) outside of Lightroom, then this will cause the Lightroom symptoms you describe. You need to reconnect the photos in Lightroom using the instructions I linked to. Either that or move the photos and folders back to where they used to be after you imported them into Lightroom. Nothing else will work.
In the future, please understand that your photos are never stored in Lightroom; they are stored on your hard disk somewhere and the very simple principle that you need to follow is that Lightroom needs to be informed of where the photos are at all times, using the methods in that link; or better yet by never moving or renaming or deleting the photos (and the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom.
As an additional recommendation, the idea of using both iPhoto and Lightroom on the same photos is one that could cause problems, especially for beginners. If you are going to use one of these software, then don't use the other one.

After exporting my pictures from lightroom 3 and take them to photo lab to print pictures are never right size. example 4x6 chops off some of pictures. Help

How can I fix when exporting my pictures and never are right size when take to photo lab

You need to crop them before you export them and take them to a print shop.
4x6 is a standard 3/2 ratio, 2 x 3 = 6 and 2 x 2 = 4. 90% of cameras on the market use that ratio as a sensor size. There are also 4/3, 16/9 and 1/1 ratio cameras. Which camera do you use, make and model?
More than likely the camera you are using is either a 4/3 or you have it set to take image in either the 4/3 or 16/9 ratio. If you ask the photo lab to print them as they are, No Cropping, you will get the whole image with a larger white boarder either on the top/bottom or sides.
You can crop them to a specific ratio in LR so they fit better on 4x6 paper and contain the image parts you most like.
It really has nothing to do with exporting and or exporting setting. It does have to do with the size, ratio, of the image you are exporting and taking to the print place.

Watermark Editor doesn't display copyright symbol

I've downloaded some new watermarks to my computer (into word) and they will display in my watermark editor in Lightroom 4. However, when I use those downloaded type styles, the copyright symbol displays in the bar below but does not display on my photo. Does anyone know how to fix that? I've also used alt0169 but it still isn't visible on my images. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you just want a textual watermark with a copyright sign, simply paste the sign in as part of the watermark's text.

Insert copyright symbol -- vi help

I need to write an insert statement that will insert the copyright symbol (the R inside a circle). I am working in a UNIX environment.
If I export the symbol (along with other stuff) from a windows program like Excel then ftp to UNIX and use SQL*Loader it loads ok. (even if export an insert statement) In looking at the flat file the copyright symbol has been converted to \256, I'm guessing the ASCII value but vi thinks it is all 1 character. For exmple if I delete the 6 it deletes the entire thing (that's fine).
Problem is if I just type \256 it is interpreted literally.
I hope this makes sense. I guess my question is really - in vi how do you insert an ASCII value?

Question regarding export and import of Hyperion Security during upgrade

Hi Guys,
We are upgrading Essbase, Integration Services from 7x to 9x which are utilizing Hyperion Hub and we are going to follow the method of uninstalling 7x and reinstalling 9x components.
Now my question is, what is the best way of transferring security from 7x to 9x. I heard that Advanced Security Manager can be used to export and import back security. Or is there any
other way of doing it??
Can someone please enlighten me on this.
Thanks in advance

First let me say that any software that comes without a save button should be sold with a warning label.
Why?
Question 1: I have having an issue comprehending how to save a photo. In my case I select the photo, zoom in on the subject, export it to my desktop. The pciture on my desktop does not incorporate the change. Am I missing a step? What do I need to do to export it with this change? I actually watched a You Tube video on this and could not see what i was not doing.
You must have selected the wrong option in the Export dialog box. Under "File Settings", you need to select JPG and not "Original". Of course, you probably need to do some additional viewing of videos (or some reading) to learn that most people's workflow does not automatically include a "Save" or "Export" after editing the photo. It's not a necessary part of Lightroom's workflow, unless you need the photo for some non-Lightroom activity.
Question 2: I just installed Lightroom and am trying to import my 12k strong photo collection. The Import button pulls in about 2k and then cannot find anymore. The photos are stored in folders by date within a master folder. I am selecting the master folder. I can go in and import the sub-fodler individually. However i do not want to do that 200 times.There is no apparent way to go into the subfolder level and select more than one folder.
In the Import dialog box, on the left, under "Source", there is a checkbox that says "Include SubFolders". Make sure this is checked.
Seriously, you need to spend some time reading introductory material about LR because Lightroom does not work like any other photographic software you might have used in the past. You are handling it as if it was no different than standard photo editing software, and you are going to be frustrated if that is your mindset. See the videos at adobe.tv and read this: http://www.flickr.com/groups/adobe_lightroom/discuss/72157603590978170/

OK. I have a copyright question. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on each of my photos to protect them from being stolen ? I'm referring to photos of paintings here. What is to stop readers of the iBook from using the photos?

Ok, I have a question concerning copright. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on every image I use- I'm refering to photos of paintings here. What is to stop readers of the ibook from using my images? They are all my own photos.

You do not HAVE to put a © symbol on each photo. If you own the photos, you hold the copyright. However, nothing stops a viewer from downloading the photo and using it without your permission.
To protect yourself there are alternatives: put a ©2013 by ME in the description of each photo. Always add your copyright notice to the metadata in every photo.
I once had several of my photos taken off the internet and then used in a commercial catalog without my permission. I was outraged, the catalog company was naive, and in the end I received $100 compensation and an apology. - Fabini
