Lightroom export - relative subdirectory

Hi, this question is pretty much what I want to ask (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1461872#1461872) but the answer is not clear to me.
I want to create export pre-sets in LR 2.4 and keep them in relative subdirectories.
Say I attend an event I want to create the following:
<Event1>
   <RAW>
        <selected>
        <rejected>
   <web-watermarked>
   <DVD-print>
   <slideshow>
<Event2>
   <RAW>
        <selected>
        <rejected>
   <web-watermarked>
   <DVD-print>
   <slideshow>
In the export dialogue I can create a preset to export to a subdirectory of the parent so I could have:
<RAW>
     <web-watermarked>
     <DVD-print>
But that is not what I want.
Ideally my export would be to "..\DVD-print" but "..\" is not allowed. As I export I want to add to catalogue.The best I can do is export to subdirectories and then move them once completed. That's clunky.
Is it possible to tell 2.4 to do a relative export?

I assume that "OP" is slang for "other person."
I am experiencing two problems:
1. Firstly I am missing presets
a. By presets I mean
                a. keyword presets,
                b. filter presets, and
                c. custom develop presets.
b. "Just missing presets" constitutes a great deal of effort for me, and it should be for you, since it's an issue that has been raised since to LR 2 and has been raise in CS4 as well.
2. I've also lost all my watermarks and am unable to recreate watermarks that actually appear on export files.
For the record I am using LR 3.2 64 bit beta with Windows 7 64 bit
I've been using them for months.
This problem occured yesterday for the first time.
I have backedup, as recommended by LR, several times.
Restores have not helped.
There have not been any recent system updates.
The only plug-in I use is the export to zenfolio.
The watermark problem is not related to the zenfolio plug-in, I have the same issue exporting to hard disk without the plug-in.
The watermark editor does not show the choosen graphic as it last time I checkede (several days ago.)
I don't understand why keysets are not part of the backup...
Are they not part of the catelog?
Feel free to ask me all the questions you want, but please help me resolve this issue.

Lightroom Export Color Shift

Exported JPEGs from Lightroom have a significant color shift from how they appear inside LR and PS3, which is a distinct magenta shift and oversaturation.
I have read a number of related posts here and elsewhere that explain the importance of setting up color management correctly in Windows, LR and PS3. I have done my best to follow all this advice and still cannot export usable JPEGs from Lightroom. I am using a Spyder 3 and have carefully profiled my Dell 2408WFP monitor. I am processing RAW images from a Canon 30D into sRGB JPEGs for web viewing, and have set up LR to export sRGB while PS3 is set to the sRGB working space.
I have also read that Internet Explorer and other color-unmanaged applications will display images differently. I understand this, but then it seems to me that every image I view inside Windows Picture Viewer or Internet Explorer on this computer would have the same oversaturation and magenta shift that my Lightroom exports do, but this is not the case. Also, my Lightroom-exported JPEGs have an equivalent magenta-tinted and oversaturated appearance on other computers I use, not just my image-editing computer.
I have set up a web page with example images, screen grabs and system technical information, located here: http://www.dougvetter.com/lightroom
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

>What can I do to get predictable color output that looks good outside a color managed environment? All the web content I look at on this exact same system looks just fine in my browser.
The only thing you can do is to calibrate your screen and export to sRGB jpegs.
On average the images will look the same, however very few will look identical simply because there is a lot of variation among screens. The sRGB standard gives you the biggest probability of getting it right. Unfortunately with the current upsurge in people buying laptops, which have in general a far smaller gamut than sRGB (the purple blue problem is caused by bad laptop screens), sRGB is starting to deviate from the average because the average is shifting. At the same time desktop LCDs are giving greater and greater gamut as your DELL display shows. sRGB was designed to represent an average CRT screen. So the crappy quality of laptop LCDs and the refusal of MS to finally live up to their promise of color management in IE is really hurting our chances of getting the right color in front of people.
What we really need is omnipresent color management and some awareness of computers of their monitor's profiles without having to calibrate, similar to printing profiles being delivered by printer manufacturers. They might not be perfect, but they will be good enough. Lacking that, we can really only try to calibrate our screens and use sRGB for web images.

For example, how can i export Opportunity Product Revunues of an Opportunity record?

Hi,
One option to to create an Analytics Report on the Opportunity Product Revenues subject Area and then export from there.
This is when you want the Related Item together with the header.

How to remove watermarks from images which have been inadvertently applied via the Lightroom Export function? [was: Help!]

I put a watermark on a photo in Lightroom 5 and exported it to a file. I then had another group of images which I exported and they all had the watermark on them and I can't get rid of the watermark

Export the photos again, but in the Lightroom Export dialog box, remove the check next to Watermark

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 Related Lists to Excel

Hi all,
Is it possible to export related lists along with the primary list data using Export to Excel?
Thanks!
K.
Personal Blog: http://thebitsthatbyte.com

Hi Kelly,
As far as I know, from the current SharePoint function, we can’t export the list along with the related list to excel. Because, the excel is not the relation database or data source. So, when you export the list, the relationship will miss.
In fact, SharePoint list is a form of database table. So, SharePoint list can keep the relationship.
In excel, you can create multiple data sheet, so, you can store your different list in different data sheet in one excel file. Some data you can choose from the other data sheet to display.

Lightroom export order

I am exporting a set of wedding pictures to a file. In Lightroom I have moved a number of pictures around so that they are in chronological order. When I export the pictures end up in their original order. I guess they are in numerial sequence. Any suggestion in preventing LR5 from resequencing the pictures?

Not sure how to do this ... an additional extension...
You need to make the sequence number the prefix, so files are named:
001 my first file.x
002 my seond file.y
etc.
Lightroom exports in order (first one first, second one second, and last one last), but the device you're using to view them (e.g. OS) is displaying via alphabetical order, or can.
So the prefix assures alphabetic order is same as exported order, and hence same as order in Lightroom.

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.

Does 'Export Relative to Page Size' NOT work in Kindle books & some other ereaders?

Hi I've been looking at this issue that has made the wheels in my head work overtime! I've made a book with pictures for the Kindle store and all the images look too small.
I've used Indesign 5.5 on a Win 7 PC. My file has multiple graphic images and I am exporting it as an epub. When exporting from Indesign you have 2 main options when exporting graphics. You can display them Relative to page size, or have them a Fixed pixel size. In age of multiple size device screens Relative to page size is the logical option because it should be able to make images on a page fill roughly the same percentage of the screen size whatever device you read it on. However I am finding that it doesn't function with all programmes.
I created an epub. Exported it with the Relative to page size option. This works great when viewed on PC with 3rd party software such as Sigil, or in iBooks for iPhone/iPad or Adobe Digital Editions ereader software.
However the same epub the images DO NOT display relative to page size when viewed with Calibre ereader software (images display far too small).
Also, I have converted that same epub (using Calibre) to a mobi. The images in the .mobi DO NOT display relative to page size when viewed with Kindle for PC, Kindle for iPad, Kindle Fire, Kindle Keyboard or Calibre.
Now. I recognise that my test is in no way universal but something is happening that is making the same file display relative to page size with some software/devices and not relative with other software devices. I've been wondering Is this a bug in the Indesign software or is it not possible on Kindle. Has anybody experienced this. And my main objective is to find out if there is a way, using Indesign or changing the css code, to make images display relative to page size on the Kindle?!
Any help, thoughts, ideas, knowledge would be appreciated!

InDesign doesn't have an export to Kindle function. It is not designed to export in the Kindle MOBI format.
There are many things which are lost when converting from EPUB to MOBI files. I'd recommend doing some reading on Elizabeth Castro's blog where she talks about some of these limitations. Also read her book "EPUB Straight to the Point for her section on converting to Kindle.
Formatting ebooks - EPUB Straight to the Point
Another good place to ask is in the Mobile Read forums where many long-term eBook experts reside: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/

Can't see Lightroom exports in Photoshop

Hi, I'm having some problems seeing exports from Lightroom 5 in Photoshop CS6 on Mavericks. (I just upgraded to the 5.3 RC and 8.3 RC from the latest normal versions and nothing's changed). I'm temporarily using Bridge as a workaround, but it's a little cumbersome.
The only red flag I can see is that the export options dialogue (original / copy with lightroom adjustments etc) doesn't appear except when I use the export to bridge option. I've tried reinstalling before and that didn't help. Has anyone else ran into this issue and solved it?
Edit: I'm using "Edit as smart object" which almost seems better, but it gives me the error message below when I try to close the document:

Hi,
I think you have to deselect something ! - " a tool is open"
close all tools and then try again and save as jpeg.

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.
Disclaimer: I accept no legal responsibility for anything that happens as a result of anything written above...

Lightroom export actions crashes photoshop

Hello
This is a problem that has eluded me for a while. Im running Lightroom 3 and photoshop cs5 (both have the latest updates) . Now I've created droplets that run various actions. In lightroom I export images and use export actions dialog box to have lightroom run the droplet.
However now I get a "photoshop cs5 has stopped responding" and a "droplets can not communicate with photoshop.
Im running windows 7 64bit
Things I've tried
restarting both programs
rebooting the computer
running lightroom and photoshop as an admin
recreating the droplets and telling windows to run the droplets as an admin
Any help would be appreciated!!

Digimarc watermarking as part of Lightroom Export

I would *love* to see Lightroom and Digimarc get together to create an "embed Digimarc watermark" in the Export dialog box. It would be incredibly powerful and would allow photographers to batch resize and embed the digimarc watermark in one step to a group of photographs. Even better if it could read the year of the photograph from the metadata and add that to the digimarc watermark automatically.
I know all this can be done with Photoshop actions, but going into Photoshop just to embed a watermark is murder on an efficient workflow.
Thanks.

I think you'd have to call Exiftool in the post-processing section of the Export settings. Exiftool is an excellent third-party utility, which you can download here.
I'm on Windows, and the following procedure seems to work OK.
[That's when exporting to local disk - whereby after the export, the separate utility can be called, and is able to modify the just-saved file. I don't know for sure - but I would not expect this to work when exporting directly to a web hosted destination such as Flickr:]
Make a copy of the Exiftool.exe program file.
Rename the copy as follows: exiftool (-Keywords+=specialtag -overwrite_original).exe - replacing "specialtag" with your desired keyword. (I didn't test for spaces in the keyword).
In the Export settings, Post-processing section, select "Open in Other Application" and click Choose.. to browse to the above renamed Exiftool executable (program) file.
Save (or update) your Export preset to include this extra step.
As each file is exported, the Exiftool command window opens, executes and closes.

Leica Monochrom and Lightroom export problems

I am using the latest version of LR on a 2011 Mac Book Pro. I am running into problems when I export Leica Monochrom DNG files that are shot AT AND ABOVE ISO 6400. Lightroom is brightening the files on export a lot so that the final exported file does not look anything like what my edit looked like. This only happens with full resolution exports. Other Leica MM users have experienced the same issue. I have photos and screen shots to prove this. What is the problem?

What I was hoping for was an original raw image with all the OP’s adjustments intact so I could demonstrate what was happening at various zoom levels and with different settings, but that seems overly difficult to come by so I’ll give my analysis of what is happening and what to do about it:
The brightening has to do with the micro-noise-grain that has been excessively sharpened making the image a mixture of mostly white and mostly black dots immediately adjacent to each other rather than continuous tone of a low-ISO image. This is not an error with LR or with the camera, and will happen with any such image from any camera. The “brightening” is merely the visibility of the white granules at 1:1 zoom. When a zoom level less than 100% is used, LR or Windows Photo Viewer or Mac Preview must determine how to combine multiple pixels together to represent one output pixel in the reduced-sized image. Different viewers use different methods to combine adjacent pixels into one. Some use Average, some use Median, some use the value of a single pixel position to represent the entire reduced-size combination pixel—this is called nearest neighbor and is the fastest but least accurate. LR is known to use a fast but inaccurate resampling algorithm which is why there is a warning on the Detail panel to use 1:1 zoom to judge sharpening and noise adjustments.
The problem here is that this lightening and darkening depending on zoom level is messing with toning adjustments, so how to tone and adjust such images, is to temporarily turn off Detail sharpening and turn up noise-reduction then adjust toning in Fit view. Then zoom in to 1:1 and adjust the noise-reduction up or down to remove most of the obvious grain, and turn up sharpen masking so all you’re sharpening is edges. Maybe even turn off the Detail slider (set to zero) to keep from enhancing micro-noise texture.
If you do want grain for artistic effect then do that after you’ve removed the ISO noise. The difference with high-ISO noise and added noise-grain is the high-ISO noise is single-pixel in size and will not be resampled accurately while the noise-granules created by the Effects panel can be control both in size and intensity so as not to respond negatively to resampling nearly as much.
If you are exporting images to nearly full resolution then dial back the export sharpening quite a bit. If you are resizing quite a bit smaller than any micro texture will have been averaged out by the resizing and adding more sharpening during Export sharpening will help things look crisp, again.
