Lightroom slideshow  - preview and slideshow shows dark pictures

All presented images in lightroom 1.2 are fine. Only when viewing a slideshow, the screen switches to black. This is also the fact during previewing a slideshow. In the film area on the bottom of the screen, the relevant images are marked and the counter changes according to the chosen changing time.
During the time version 1.0/1.1 was used, everything worked fine: Any suggestion for a solution?

Updating the video card driver has solved this for a number of Windows users.

  • Lightroom Slideshow - Show Filenames

    I may just be missing it, but being new to Lightroom, I'm getting my first presentation ready and want to use the Lightroom Slideshow feature. I can't find how to allow the filenames to show with each slide.
    I need this as a means of identification for the client.
    What am I missing????
    Thanks,
    Jim.....

    Ensure that you have the Tool bar activated in the Sideshow module. (Tap the T key.)
    On the Tool bar you should see an ABC icon that will allow text to be added to the slide. Click it to reveal a text box, then click the Title drop menu. In the drop list click Edit. A dialog box will allow choosing a filename.
    The resulting text can be repositioned anywhere in the slide area.

  • Slideshow shows my pictures without adjustments

    Hi im using lightroom 5.3 and when i use Slideshow my photos appear whith no adjusment at all i need to fix this so i can show my work for my clients need help ASAP thanks

    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup),  use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop if they exist. Will require resetting some options.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.<12digitHex Number>.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.slideshow.< 12digitHexNumber>.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktopscreensaver.rsspictures .plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect .plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Then reboot once more.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Preview and Finder showing photos with the right rotation, once imported to iPhoto its lost

    Hi,
    I'm geting nuts with this issue.
    For my own camera all works fine. 90° rotated pics show up in Finder, Preview and iPhoto correctly. Landscape is landscape, portrait is portrait.
    Now I got photos shared (using Dropbox) from a friends camera. Finder and Preview also show landscape and portraits correctly rotated.
    But, once I import them (by drag&drop from the Finder) into iPhoto, all portrait photos are landscape now and need to be rotated 90°. This is the same for Thumbnails, full screen and even slideshow.
    The only difference when importing those photos is, for my own I use the import out of iPhoto (by plugging the SD directly to the Mac), the other photos are imported from the Finder with drag&drop.
    BTW, the rotation information for all photos are correct in Preview (1 for normal photos, 8 or 6 for 90° rotated).
    So what is the problem here? I'm going nuts.
    Thanks in advance.
    Monty

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • NIKON D5000 NEF - Lightroom 2.6 and PSE show colors quite differently from what Nikon Software show

    With my Nikon D5000 DSLR camera, I took recently photos from small blue flowers. I had set-up my Nikon D5000 to create for every photo both a NEF File and a JPEG File (and had set my camera to use Automatic While Balance). 
    I noticed that for NEF Files Lightroom 2.6 (and also PSE 7, that uses internally Camera RAW ) shows me the blue colors of the flowers quite differently from what I see with PSE for the jpeg file. It is my impression, that it is in the Jpeg files, that the blue color is close to the reality; and  that it is with the NEF Files that Lightroom and PSE show a blue color that is quite different from the reality.
    I also looked at the photo files with the NIKON "View Nx" 1.3.0 Software that came with my camera. With "View Nx" the blue colors (both with the NEF file and the Jpeg File) are very vlose that what i see with PSE 7 in the jpeg file (and quite different from what I see with LR and PSE for the .NEF File).
    I mentioned this problem to Nikon Support. They suggested, that Nikon Software and Adobe software use different algorithms; and that the Nikon algorithms are better/closer adapted to the Nikon cameras than the more generalized Adobe algorithms that need to support a very large number of cameras.
    But ....it is Lightroom that i wish to use to process my NEF Files and PSE that I wish to use to organize my Photos. Can a LR/Camera-RAW expert help me? I would like to find a solution to see with LR and with PSE in my D5000 NEF Photo Files blue colors that are close to the reality and close to what Nikon Software shows me on my PC. Please notice that I am very far away from being a professional and that i will probably not understand complicated explanations.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    An additional note, that is perhaps not relevant: I used LR to convert my NEF File into a JPEG File format and looked at the blue in the result. It looks the same as what LR and PSE show me for the .NEF File (and looks different from the jpeg file crreated by the NIKON camera).

    EJ and Jim
    Thank You very much for your useful feedback.
    I realize, that as a neophit I am an exot among the community of photo-experts and photo-professionals addressed by LR.  Therefore the wish that I will now express is perhaps inadequate. But since it is gently, that i express this wish, I am probably allowed to do so......
    My wish for a future version of LR, is that LR comes out of the box with a "reasonable" interpretation of the RAW images of most important/widespread modern cameras....without requiring that non-experts like me gets confronted from the very beginning with the need to develop their own default settings.
    For this wish, I will formulate a Feature Request.
    You might wonder, why a non-expert like me is interested in LR instead of  using those Photo-Editing Software (e.g. PSE) that are supposed to address the need of non-experts. Well..... I am coming from the PSE world. I am reasolnably happy with the PSE Organizer....but  I hate the complex, inefficient, unfriendli "user-interface" (experts will probably tell: workflow-interface?) of the PSE Editor. Its really a last-century Software. LR is so much more friendly, even for non-experts...within the Library Module, i do not need to switch back and forth between one dialogue-window for each type of change.... nearly all what i need is in that one right-hand pane of the Library module.
    I honestly believe, that Adobe should take a serious look at promoting/marketing  LR also to the audience of non-experts. That would be a good and attractive additional marketing opportunity for LR.

  • Importing videos aren't previewing and only show white in timeline

    I just started a trial of premiere pro. Every time I import a video though it doesn't have a preview. It's just white. It does this on the cursor preview and and when I place it in the timeline.

  • Lightroom displays files and exports files darker than the original or from Photoshop

    Hello all.
    I would first like to preface this by stating I am not technically minded, and I know nothing (or very little) of ICC profiles etc.
    Though assume someone will attempt to tell me to do something with them in a really technical way which I won't understand, please treat me like a 4 year child in this regard.
    I am using Lightroom 5.6 on a Mac running 10.9.4 I have CS6 Photoshop and have a Spyder 3pro calibration device and have linked all of the Adobe programs to the output of the calibration to "hopefully" ensure quality control.
    I recently have been scanning analogue film and importing this into Lightroom 5. I have noticed that the file imported always looks darker than the original.
    When I have exported from Lightroom them they look like crap.
    There are no import additional settings as they are all turned off. I did that when I installed LR.
    I have also noticed than whenever I imported a Raw file for some reason the original file would look great for a second then when clicked on would also change to something less appealing. But I digress.
    So in attempt to show what is happening. I have created some images to illustrate my problem.
    Also it does not matter if I turn the soft proofing on or off.
    Lightroom Softproof on
    Lightroom Softproof off
    Lightroom vs Photoshop Histogram - Very similar
    Left: File opened from Lightroom as the Original      Right: Original Photoshop File
    Left: File opened from an Export from Lightroom      Right: Original Photoshop File
    Any clues as this is very annoying and at the moment makes Lightroom 5 unusable.

    Can you put one of your scans somewhere, like www.dropbox.com, and post a public download/share link to it?   I'd like to try one of the scans on my computer, though, to see if it does the same thing.  You can crop an original down to something smaller that includes sky and trees like your screenshots show.
    I am guessing there is a gamma problem or a profile problem somewhere.  What Profile do the scans have embedded in them from the scanner?  You can turn on the three Ask checkboxes in your color-settings and see what it says when you open an original in Photoshop.
    My guess is that LR is using a default profile that doesn't match what Photoshop is using, but perhaps there is a gamma issue, too.
    Have you tried opening one of the originals in the Camera Raw plug-in, perhaps from Bridge or just from PS / File / Open.  You may have to set your PS Camera Raw settings to prefer ACR for TIFs.  ACR and LR should be about the same in file handling so it'd be interesting to see if that is the case.

  • I downloaded the latest itunes version while my ipod 4 touch was plugged into my usb port on my laptop. After it downloaded on my computer the ipod froze and it shows a picture of a usb cable, and an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol.

    i tried to restart and re download everything and it still is doing the same thing. this keeps happening alot and i have to end up taking the ipod to the apple store to have them erase everything on my ipod to restart it. is there anything i can do at home to fix it

    Have you tried to put the device into DFU mode?
    To put the device in DFU mode,
    1. Connect the device to iTunes
    2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
    3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
    4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
    I hope that helps.

  • Preview and textedit slow/hangs

    Hi,
    My preview and textedit are not functioning. The problem is as follows.
    - I boot my MBP2010, running ML 10.8.2
    - I open either preview or textedit app from finder or launchpad.
    - The app name pops up in the menu bar.
    - I get a rainbow twirly cursor.
    That's it, i cannot use these apps which is extremely anoying.
    If I open a picture or pdf, it loads preview, and it shows it after a minute or so.
    This is not normal behaviour, i have installed a 3rd party SSD which is blazingly fast.
    If i choose show all windows in preview from the dock, i apparently have tons of files open which i cannot quit nor open.
    Textedit only shows an icon in my dock and doesnt respond. Not even to me yelling at it...
    Also I have checked 'Close Windows when quiting an application' in System Settings > General after the issue occured.
    After searching a bit on the internet, i have found 0 solutions explaining how to fix this issue in common English.
    Repairing disc permissions doesnt solve anything. Someone also mentioned it could be related to aliases used by dropbox. I have dropbox.app installed but i don't understand how one app could completely destroy another one?
    Others mentioned deleting files from ~/Library/Containers/com.Apple.Preview.
    Apparently ~ means <Insert User Name>? I find this last particular sollution controversial and unclear as to which files should be deleted.
    If anyone could please specify a sollution, I would be very grateful.
    Thank you in advance.

    The fix is to reinstall ML by pressing r at boot and choosing reinstall mountain lion.
    I still have my files and apps, so no biggie..

  • "Preview and Print " report extension in Order Management

    There is a custom extension class available for this "Print and Priview" report. You can implement that and return the SQL Query in the class so that it gets executed and adds the custom attribute information at the end of XML file and you can modify the layout to add the information. The extended java class can return "select statement" or XML data. If it returns select statement code executes the query and adds the xml data at the end or returned XML data will be added. Look for Profile "OM: Printed Document Extension Class Name"

  • Lightroom 2.3 and Camera Raw 5.3 Available - Note from Adobe

    Lightroom 2.3 and Camera Raw 5.3 are now available as release candidates on Adobe Labs.
    Lightroom 2.3, http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Lightroom_2.3
    Camera Raw 5.3, http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.3
    Regards,
    Tom Hogarty
    Adobe Systems

    Hi All:
    based on the good work of Dorin above (post #19), he did a timeline of various releases of Lightroom from Adobe and it shows that from "version x RC" to "final release version" was around 1 month.
    as it is already exactly one month now, it must not be too much longer till they will release the LR2.3 Final Version.
    As for what Robert said in post #23, well, there's never any "guarantee" on a problem-free piece of software, or, for that matter, anything one purchases or anything in life, actually!! Yet, one can make educated extrapolations, right? From the range of comments thus far on LR2.3RC, it appears that it is the best version yet of LR2.x. This leads to the conclusion that it is probably a "good bet" that this version will likely lead to the least amount of issues, right? Maybe not "zero issues", but most likely, the least amount of issues from the various LR2.x versions available.
    So by waiting, say, merely 1-3 more weeks approximately, i can go directly from LR1.4 (which i've been using for many months) to LR2.3 Final Release Version. It seems like it is a prudent and conservative move or plan.
    What do the good folks here think, please?
    thanks in advance for helping me to mull this over. If i were a PC expert, i'd be thinking about this less. as i'm just a somewhat competent user, and not a whiz, i thought that a bit of care and planning it out intelligently can possibly reduce frustrations later.

  • Preview and Grayscale wierdness

    When I view a PDF comprised of grayscale images, all of the grayscale pages are displayed in reversed white letters on black! What gives? The non-grayscale pages are perfect.

    I took a look at it out of curiousity, using both the Tiger and Leopard versions of Preview, and both show the reversal. So does QuickTime Player, which will also open it. Photoshop and Illustrator would not open it at all, demanding a password. The GIMP would open it, and will display the grayscale pages normally, black on white. ColorSync Utility also opened it, again with white on black. So it looks like the problem is deep in OS X Leopard (GIMP is using other stuff from X11 to do its thing). BTW, the pages that are backwards won't display at all in the Panther version of Preview.

    Hello,
    I am new to lightroom 2 and digital photography in general.  I am having a hard time understanding how to organize my files and how to use catalogs.  I have been taking an online class through Lynda.com, and have watched this section several times and am still stuck.  I really do not want to go much further until I understand catalogs and develop a logical organizational flow.  I am using a Mac. Any help?
    Thanks

    Hi All:
    based on the good work of Dorin above (post #19), he did a timeline of various releases of Lightroom from Adobe and it shows that from "version x RC" to "final release version" was around 1 month.
    as it is already exactly one month now, it must not be too much longer till they will release the LR2.3 Final Version.
    As for what Robert said in post #23, well, there's never any "guarantee" on a problem-free piece of software, or, for that matter, anything one purchases or anything in life, actually!! Yet, one can make educated extrapolations, right? From the range of comments thus far on LR2.3RC, it appears that it is the best version yet of LR2.x. This leads to the conclusion that it is probably a "good bet" that this version will likely lead to the least amount of issues, right? Maybe not "zero issues", but most likely, the least amount of issues from the various LR2.x versions available.
    So by waiting, say, merely 1-3 more weeks approximately, i can go directly from LR1.4 (which i've been using for many months) to LR2.3 Final Release Version. It seems like it is a prudent and conservative move or plan.
    What do the good folks here think, please?
    thanks in advance for helping me to mull this over. If i were a PC expert, i'd be thinking about this less. as i'm just a somewhat competent user, and not a whiz, i thought that a bit of care and planning it out intelligently can possibly reduce frustrations later.

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
