Lightroom Slideshow behave strangely when changing star rating.

Hi there,
I am having issues with Lightroom Slideshow when in Manual Mode and filter is on.
When I try and do a manual slideshow and I have filters on "Rating" = ** and I try and change an image to a "*" or a "***" then the slildeshow starts acting weird i.e. it will start showing images randomly on its own. I have to cancel the slideshow and restart. This is easy to reproduce.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can use star ratings whether the dots are there or not. Try keys 0-5.
Anyway, the View/Grid view style/Show extras menu item will re-instate the star field on your thumbnails.

Cannot change star rating

I cannot change the star rating of photos.When I try, I get "error changing rating".
The rating came from my organizer that was previously in Elements 9, but is now in Elements 12.
Thank you.

CS5: Shapes behave strange when blurred and then duplicated

Hello there,
I've encountered a strange behaviour (in PS CS5) when I created a simple shape with the shape tool, blurred it via the "Mask"-palette and tried to duplicate it with ALT+Drag:
The layer was duplicated, but only the original shape could be seen. All kind of strange things happened, even when I tried to go back in the history-palette. I had to go back before the "Blur"-Step to get everything working normal again.
When I don't blur the shape, everything works fine as expected. I can duplicate and move the shape/copies as much as I want. Autoselect layer/group is always OFF.
I tried this several times now and it seems to me that there is a bug somewhere. Can someone try to reproduce this behaviour?

@JJMack:
Sorry, I'm using the German version (OS: Win7 x64), so I'm not sure about what the setting is called in the English version.
There is a slider in the "Mask" palette which's called "Weiche Kante", so I think it's the "feather" slider you mentioned.
Considering the procedure: I don't want to copy the vector mask, I want to duplicate the whole shape (layer) via selecting the layer in the palette and ALT+dragging the shape directly in the image.
This works completely fine as long as I don't use the "feather" slider (Result: I get a second shape and a copy of the shape layer in the layer palette as expected).
Changing the feather slider to a value > 0 everything gets messed up when using ALT+drag.
Thanks for your answer so far.
P.S.: There also seems to be a visual bug when overlapping two shapes on different layers with feather value > 0. See picture. (all shapes are identical)
But it's gone when saving, closing and reloading the file.

Query behave strange when called from java

Hi,
I had the same scenario a few times in two different queries in different databases (10g v2) and so not putting the query.
When I run the query from sqlplus/toad it takes less than a second
When I run it from java it takes about 5 minutes.
I could have thought it is something to do with Java ...
But when I rename the underlying table and use the new name in the query it takes normal (less than a second) time both in java and sqlplus/toad.
Before changing the name, I have tried rebuilidng the indexes and analyzing the table. The table has about 10 million rows and 13 indexes in one scenario and as less as 400k with 3 indexes in the other scenario. and in both cases updated once daily.
Each time this happends either a rename or dropping and recreating the table is solving the problem. I am lost.. any ideas what might be causing this problme; any solutions.
Thanks

Do whatever it is you are doing that makes it faster and run an Explain Plan capturing the output with DBMS_XPLAN. Also save off the stats collected on the table and indexes
Then, when performance deteriorates capture another plan along with the stats.
What is different?
A table with 13 indexes is an indication of an issue. I would suggest someone take a good look at why so many indexes are there.

ITunes Behaving Strangely When I Sync

Ok, I have some serious issues going on with iTunes, and I am hopeful that you all can help me diagnose the problem.
The symptoms:
1. If I download an app on my iPhone or iPad which already exist in my iTunes library, iTunes will delete that app from my device when I sync it.
2. When I connect my iPhone or iPad to my Mac to sync it, iTunes insists on reinstalling EVERY app installed on the device, unless I cancel the sync and transfer all newly-purchased/downloaded apps from the iPad/iPhone prior to syncing.
3. When I right-click on my iPad and select "Transfer Purchases", new music will transfer to iTunes, but new apps will not. (This one just started today, and seems to be confined to the iPad alone; the iPhone does not seem to be affected.)
I have tried everything I could find, including doing a complete restore on both the iPad and iPhone, rebuilding iTunes library, and even completely uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but nothing as of yet has helped. I thank you in advance for any and all assistance you are able to provide.

I restored my iPad, which fixed the third symptom, and doing away with the auto-sync and transferring purchases from the iPad to my Mac before syncing works around the first symptom, but I'm still experiencing symptom #2, where any app I download directly to my iPad (or my iPhone) that already exists in my iTunes library will get uninstalled when I sync my iPad (or iPhone) to my Mac unless I manually go through each and every app that I downloaded to the iPad (or iPhone) and click its checkbox in the Apps tab. This really gets annoying, especially on a day like today, when I was away from home and remembered a big bunch of apps that I wanted to reinstall on my iPad. That meant that once I got home, I had to do the following:
1. Connect the iPad to my Mac and open iTunes.
2. Go to the Apps tab on my iPad.
3. Click "Apply"
4. Have it tell me that 16(!) apps were going to be removed including <name of app #1 here>.
5. Click "Cancel". (A "Keep All" button would be a lifesaver right here, as I would be finished!)
6. Find <name of app #1 here> and click its checkbox, then click "Apply".
7. Have it tell me that 15 apps were going to be removed including <name of app #2 here>.
8. Click "Cancel".
9. Find <name of app #2 here> AND <name of app #1 here>, because iTunes unchecks all the apps that were unchecked when we first arrived at the Apps tab after each canceled Sync.
…and so on…
In other words, by the time I got to the end, I had to find apps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, clicking each of their checkboxes, and then FINALLY click "Apply".
Admittedly, re-downloading 16 apps while not at home isn't a daily occurrence, but re-downloading 3 or even 4 happens often enough for this to be a real pain in the derrierre.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this or how to fix it?

Is it possible to change star rating color?

...in Numbers.
I tried "Text colors" (doesn't work), and yes a "star" is not some text... but if it'd be HTML, the color would work on a special character :-)

You can't, at least not in the iOS version of numbers

Guides behave strangely when zoomed in above 800%

When creating web graphics, I often zoom in very close to check pixel-critical placement of guides. Above a certain zoom level, maybe 800%, the behavior of the guides sometimes becomes unstable. For example, when I attempt to move a guide, Photoshop creates another guide instead, which moves. Needless to say, this hardly inspires confidence. Setup is Mac Pro 8 core (early 2008), 10 GB RAM, large empty scratch disk, Photoshop CS3, and Leopard 10.5.6. Can't remember if I ever saw this behavior in Tiger. I am wondering if others are seeing this behavior, and what can be done to fix it?

Gary,
I just tried all zoom views up to an including 3,200%, all the while creating moving and even rotating guides, and I could not replicate your issue.
I'm on a PPC Mac running Tiger OS 10.4.11 and Photoshop 14.10.1, with OpenGL enabled. Could be either a Mac-Intel or Leopard thing.
Dual bootable, DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004), maxed out at 2GB of RAM, both Spotlight and Dashboard disabled, Photoshop primary scratch disk on dedicated 160GB internal drive, at least 100GB available on each of the four internal drives, up to 300GB on some. Counting external FW drives just over 1TB of drive space available. nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 425MHz 256 MB graphics display card. Processor napping enabled through CHUD 3.5.2.

Popup behaves strange when resizing

Hello,
I create a popup programmatically.
After it is rendered I go to the downright corner to enlarge it. This corner has dots to show that it's resizeable.
Resizing works, but not as expected. Although I enlarge it only a little bit the screen gets filled up with the content of the popup. I only get out pressing the 'ESC' key.
After reopening it, it will be rendered with the 'last' size before pressing 'ESC'?
Is there possibility to switch off the possibility to resize the popup window?
Best regards
Martin

Once the popup is resized, the size of popup will remain as per the size during the last resize.
If you want to set the fixed height & width - every time you launch the popup - set the contentHeight and contentWidth for the popup using popupFetchListener.
Thanks,
Navaneeth

Hi,
One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
Any idea how can this problem be solved?
It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
Thanks

Star rating changes date modified!

Why would changing a star rating on an image change the date modified and the sort order if I'm sorting by date modified. This makes no sense! I have not edited the file. Which file was edited last is far more important than when I gave a file a star rating.
Also when a file is saved as a different file type it loses it's star rating! So then I have to go back and rate it again and it changes the date modified!!!
I have used Bridge a long time and have not noticed it doing this. Am I just going nuts and it's always done it this way?

Yeah I've heard that before but it's really not. In date modified you want to know when the file was edited last not the star rating changed. I change star ratings all the time. That gives me another way to sort the images. The way it is now all the modified files get scrambled. It's frankly absurd. You would never see that in Photo Mechanic or iTunes, etc. If people want it to work like that it should be an option in preferences.

Lightroom Star Rating Loss on Import

Hello everyone!
Longtime LR user, new to the forums and looking for a bit of insight.
When shooting on deadline, I start my workflow by running my images through Photo Mechanic where I star rate, caption and FTP a few. Afterwards I typically head home and then import my images into LR for further processing and cataloging.
What I've discovered is that I will occasionally lose the star rating on about 65% - 75% of those images if I begin to evaluate the them immediately after they've been imported.
(Typically importing between 1000 - 3000 RAW images with "Minimal" previews.)
(Evaluate by showing larger previews or asking to just see starred images.)
This problem does not occur if I give LR about 7 to 10 minutes after I've imported the images and then ask to see only star rated images. When I give it that extra time after import, my star ratings will invariably show up every time without problem.
I have taken note of the fact that even when selecting "Minimal" previews LR will still "process" the files as I can see their color shifting photo after photo within grid mode as I sit in front of my computer. It is my presumption that it is during this time that LR is evaluating the XMP info and adding that info to the catalog. I presume this because it seems that after LR has completed this process all of my star rated images will show up.
If this is in fact what is happening, part of my problem is there is no way for me to determine when LR is done with this initial "processing". This is because it seems LR begins "processing" whichever images are currently being displayed. I know this because as I scroll down the grid of images I see the color shift to begin on the frames that I've just scrolled to. Consequently I have no way of determining when this initial "processing" is done other than to give LR 7 - 10 minutes.
I should also mention that I have on occasion quit LR, reopened the folder containing my images in Photo Mechanic and all of the star ratings show up as they should. I have then quit Photo Mechanic, restarted LR selected all the images and then prompted it to "Read Metadata from File" but it still does not adapt the star rating that is associated with each image.
The only way for me to fix this issue is by removing the folder containing the errored images, re-import it into LR, give LR 7 - 10 minutes to "process" it's contents, and hope that when I do go to look at only starred images it will have completed it's initial processing to reveal all of those images that have been star rated.
Re-reading this I see that it's a mouthful but do hope that you might be able to answer these questions:
1. Is it this "processing" that I'm waiting for Lightroom to complete upon initial in import?
2. Is there a way for me to tell when that "processing" is complete?
3. Why doesn't forcing LR to "Read Metadata from File" overcome this problem?
Currently running LR 3.4.1 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8.
Thank you sincerely for your help ( :

Hi Bill
The new people icons in PSE11 & PSE12 are not the same as keywords. You could use them as the basis to add keywords (names) in PSE and perhaps write metadata to files. Then start over in Lightroom:
File >>New Catalog
Choose a new catalog name and save.
When the empty Lightroom catalog opens - try the import from PSE again.

Star rating disppear from images in Lightroom

When shooting tethered, my client has chosen the images and star rated those she likes. When I imported all the raw files into Lightroom 5.4, all the star rating are missing.
How can I see the star rating again in Lightroom? I cannot remember all the images that are chosen.
Can someone please help?

I have a feeling the * are lost; but as others, I can only understand the importing of the untethered files which I guess were not starred.
After the bull has escaped>>To keep the order as photographed you only needed to select "capture time" for Sort. Files could be moved into one job folder and everything is in order as long as any different cameras have the same time. I have made THAT mistake
Sorry, not sure that is any help for you atm.

Regarding Lightroom Slideshow module: When I click on the preview button I get the following error: An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt at index a nil value. This occurs with any group of images I select in my catalog.

Jeannine,
If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Hope this helps a bit,
Glenn

Star rating (color change)

I find the start rating to be working well. Could it be possible to introduce the possibility to change the actual color of the stars ?
I'll explain myself. When applying stars, the color is a sort of white/gray and no stars means a grayed out shape. I find it difficult to read sometimes, (is it 2, is it 3, etc.). Would it be possible to set the default color of an active star to a gold like color or to allow it being customised ?

Interesting idea! This forum is primarily focused on the new features and bugs in the beta release, so it'll be closed when the beta finishes. The best place to get your requests considered is the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family because others can also add their votes so Adobe can see which requests are most popular, and the requests can be easily tracked. They stand a much better chance of getting attention there too.

Why when using Adobe Bridge, I apply a star rating, the rating does not show up in Photoshop Elements? [tags]

Why when using Adobe Bridge, I apply a star rating, the rating does not show up in Photoshop Elements. I use Elements as my organizer and Bridge to view as it is much more user friendly. Anyone any solutions??

Most likely you have set the wrong file as the external editor. You don't want the obvious one; that's just a link to the welcome screen. Go back and choose this one, which is hidden away inside the folder Support Files:
