LR 5 fails to export virtual copy to file

I edited several files in Photoshop CC and upon completion were added to my LR5 catalog as expected. I created a virtual copy of each and changed the crop (only). LR5 stalls and fails to complete when trying to export these files (I wanted a PSD) to a folder. I tried writing the metadata to the file and got the same result. I can export to a new catalog (which is what I ended up doing) but just really needed a file.
This proces worked fine in LR4.4/CS6 (I double checked on a different computer this AM)
The LR5 catalog is an upgrade to my LR4 catalog, hopefully it has the same settings.
Thanks,
Kevin

I get exactly the same error message as Zac in the original post. Just like him I also have optimized and tested integrity of my 200 000-images-catalog in LR 4.4 where it is running fine. Have tried to convert my catalog on two different machines running on Win 7 and Win 8.
Export to catalog don't either do the trick. I do manage to perform a partial catalog export of my images from the last year and upgrade this to LR 5 as John suggests, but I'm not really keen on searching for a single possibly troublesome folder, wherever that now may be...
It looks like some others have similar problems:

  • Error message - failed to export to Microsoft Word

    I signed up for this servive and it does not seem to be working for me. I have tyried different pdf files and browsers and I keep getting the same error message.

    I am also getting the same error message with a scanned text pdf file.  The support page says it will OCR scanned text pdfs and convert to Word, but I keep getting a "failed to export" message.  The file is only 19 mb, well within the 100 mb limit.  This is the only reason I subscribed, to convert scanned text pdfs to Word, and now the service does not seem to do what it says it will do.  I spent three hours with tech support before they finally informed that there is no tech support for this product, only the forums.  So here I am.  I trust someone with the necessary knowledge and expertise at this forum will be able to help me resolve this issue.

  • [Help] Export or copy a virtual copy from one library to a different library?

    Hi all,
    I need to be able to extract or export a virtual copy (VC) from one library to an other library. The same image that the VC depend on is represented in both libraries but since a friend will be editing some images on his computer and therefor his library I need to be able to import the different VC he makes to my library later on or perhaps merge since he needs the VC I make.
    So please, can someone tell me how to do this. If we only make some editing of a RAW we just save the metadata and we are done, but with VC it is different.
    Thanks in advance!

    Use File > Export as Catalog in the current catalogue, and use File > Import from Catalog
    Ask yourself if it's really a smart idea to (a) work with multiple catalogues, and (b) catalogue the same picture in more than one catalogue. As you've found, working with multiple catalogues introduces inefficiencies like trying to copy VCs around, while cataloguing the same image in more than one catalogue is a recipe for confusion.Maybe you should be asking how to resolve the underlying workflow problem?

  • Drive Redirection virtual channel hangs when copying a file from server to client over RDP 8.1

    Problem Summary:
    A UTF-8 without BOM Web RoE XML file output from a line of business application will not drag and drop copy nor copy/paste from a Server 2012 R2 RD Session Host running RD Gateway to a Windows 7 Remote Desktop client over an RDP 8.1 connection and the Drive
    Redirection virtual channel hangs.  The same issue affects a test client/server with only Remote Desktop enabled on the server.
    Other files copy with no issue.  See below for more info.
    Environment:
    Server 2012 R2 Standard v6.3.9600 Build 9600
    the production server runs RDS Session Host and RD Gateway roles (on the same server).  BUT,
    the issue can be reproduced on a test machine running this OS with simply Remote Desktop enabled for Remote Administration
    Windows 7 Pro w SP1v6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601 running updates to support RDP 8.1
    More Information:
    -the file is a UTF-8 w/o BOM (Byte Order Marker) file containing XML data and has a .BLK extension.  It is a Web Record of Employment (RoE) data file exported from the Maestro accounting application.
    -the XML file that does not copy does successfully validate against CRA's validation XML Schema for Web RoE files
    -Video redirection is NOT AFFECTED and continues to work
    -the Drive Redirection virtual channel can be re-established by disconnecting/reconnecting
    -when the copy fails, a file is created on the client and is a similar size to the original.  However, the contents are incomplete.  The file appears blank but CTRL-A shows whitespace
    -we can copy the contents into a file created with Notepad and then that file, which used to copy, will then NOT copy
    -the issue affects another Server 2012 R2 test installation, not just the production server
    -it also affects other client Win7 Pro systems against affected server
    -the issue is uni-directional i.e. copy fails server to client but succeeds client to server
    -I don't notice any event log entries at the time I attempt to copy the file.
    What DOES WORK
    -downgrading to RDP 7.1 on the client WORKS
    -modifying the file > 2 characters -- either changing existing characters or adding characters (CRLFs) WORKS
    -compressing the file WORKS e.g. to a ZIP file
    -copying OTHER files of smaller, same, and larger sizes WORKS
    What DOES NOT WORK?
    -changing the name and/or extension does not work
    -copying and pasting affected content into a text file that used to have different content and did copy before, then does not work
    -Disabling SMB3 and SMB2 does not work
    -modifying TCP auto-tuning does not work
    -disabling WinFW on both client and server does not work
    As noted above, if I modify the affected file to sanitize it's contents, it will work, so it's not much help.  I'm going to try to get a sample file exported that I can upload since I can't give you the original.
    Your help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hi Dharmesh,
    Thanks for your reply!
    The issue does seem to affect multiple users.  I'm not fully clear on whether it's multiple users and the same employee's file, but I suspect so.
    The issue happens with a specific XML file and I've since determined that it seems to affect the exported RoE XML file for one employee (record?) in the software.  Other employees appear to work.
    The biggest issue is that there's limited support from the vendor in this scenario.  Their app is supported on 2012 R2 RDS.
    What I can't quite wrap my head around are
    why does it work in RDP 7.1 but not 8.1?  What differences between the two for drive redirection would have it work in 7.1 and not 8.1?
    when I examine the affected file, it really doesn't appear any different than one that works.  I used Notepad++ and it shows the encoding as the same and there doesn't appear to be any invalid characters in the affected file.  I wondered
    if there was some string of characters that was being misinterpreted by RDP or some other operation and blocked somehow but besides having disabled AV and firewall software on both ends, I'm not sure what else I could change to test that further
    Since it seems to affect only the one employee's XML file AND since modifying that file to change details in order to post it online would then make that file able to be copied, it seems I won't be able to post a sample.  Too bad.

  • Changing Virtual Copy Names in Web Gallery

    I have been creating web galleries in LR for clients for purposes of online editing. This hasn't been a problem until today when I was creating multiple copies of images using Virtual Copy. I realized when I create a web gallery the images with multiple versions all have the same name in the gallery. So there might be 3 versions of one image (a color, a BW, a sepia tone for example) with the same name.
    I.e., if I have an image called "001.cr2" that is full frame and then I create a virtual copy that is cropped, in the web gallery they are both called "001.CR2" instead of "001_01.CR2", or some such thing.
    I need some way for my client to differentiate btwn the two files during their online editing. Is there a way to do this without exporting the files and then re-importing to create the gallery?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ryan Donnell

    When you create the virtual copies specify unique copy names for them in the metadata, e.g., "bw", "sepia", etc.
    Then in the Web module in the Image Info panel, edit the title and/or caption fields to include the copy name as part of the filename or caption. Each image in the web gallery will then have a unique name tag to reference. If you don't want to use copy names (why not, they sure are useful for other things as well), Image # would also work.

  • What's the point of a virtual copy if it can't be in a different folder from the master?

    When I spotted "Make virtual copy" on the context menu, I thought "Great - I can organize my photos in different ways without wasting disk space by using aliases!"
    But when I tried to move the virtual copy to another folder, LR said Nope!
    So I moved the master - and the copy moved with it.
    What am I missing? I've seen the reference to Smart Collections, but they seem to be based on ratings or flags, not arbitrary subject-matter groupings.
    So I created a "dumb collection" (my term, in distinction from the automatic groupings), made virtual copy and copied the virtual copy to the collection.
    Then I then went back to the original folder and deleted the virtual copy from the original folder.
    It vanished from the collection as well.
    Is a virtual copy merely a way to make and save an alternative edit of a photo - but only in the same folder as the original?

    A virtual copy is virtual. It is a record of the processing settings you made held in the database. LR never makes changes to the original files and does not create copies of original files (except on import if you so choose). A new file is created on export with the processing settings recorded in the database. The folder structure is irrelevant to LR other than LR needs to know where the file is on your computer.A virtual copy does not make an actual copy anywhere on your hard drive. It takes up no space as it is just a few lines of metadata recorded in the catalog. Hence virtual copy.
    The point is that you may require several different versions of the same image file, different crops, different processing settings etc. These can all be recorded in the catalog and when you require the particular version you export it. On export it can be sent anywhere you like.
    I would suggest you have a look at the LR manual through the help system (press F1 when LR is open) and have a look at some of the video tutorials in order to understand the basics of LR

  • Virtual Copy Name/workflow issue

    Hi
    I offer my wedding clients 3 or 4 versions of an image.  I rename all my images before export to jpg start 1.  However virtual copies are exported with the same file name but just a version e.g.  rob 10-3.jpg (which is obviously the 3rd virtual copy of rob 10.jpg).
    The problem is that when the client comes back to me with a FINAL list of photos for their album, and tell me Rob 10-3.jpg, I'm nots sure which virtual copy it was.
    SO - is there away to rename all files as a batch including virtual copies so they get their own unique file name?
    If this is an easy question and I'm missing the obvious I apologise in advance!
    cheers
    Rob

    You could try changing the copy name to "bw" or "sepia" or "crop" etc. Then in the Export dialog set up the filename to something like <VC><filename>.
    So select the VC's in the grid, reveal the Metadata panel and look for copy name. You can then select all the b&w's, and enter bw in that field.

  • Find and export Virtual Copies: Easy to add and ( i would argue) Necessary

    I haven't found an easy way to go back and easily select all virtual copies in a library in order to export them.
    A virtual copy is easy to miss and sometimes its hard to remember where you made changes in a large collection.
    There needs to be a search option for file types in LightRoom that can find the virtual copies and allow them to be collectively exported as real copies.
    If not a search function, then please simply insert a "save all virtual copies" option in the export area. Perhaps it could have the option to export all to their respective original file's folder OR to a designated edits folder with some tag to refer to the original location.
    I would very much appreciate an official adobe contact if at all possible :-/

    You can filter out Virtual Copies using a button on the filter bar located in the bottom right corner of the Lr application window (just above the filmstrip). Click a folder (folder panel) to narrow the filter to a specific folder or subfolders or the top most folder to show all virtual copies. You'll also find the second button will show only Master photos.

  • LR 3.3: Virtual copy hassle

    Hi,
    for some time now I use virtual copies pretty often. I like the concept and the ability to stack different developments of the same master image, which makes it pretty easy to keep the overview over many different versions of the same image. But, there is something I also dislike. It happens, and it does fairly often, that the image sequence in such a stack changes and (that's the worst thing) that the master images is no longer the first image of such a selection, it happens to be somewhere in the selection. Often my first attempt to reorganize the stack - as I want it to be - fails, because "LR does something on its own"!
    My question: Did I miss something when using virtual copies to always have the master image as the first of a stack, and that this never changes?
    Or is this somehting not (yet) implemented?
    Any tips are very welcome.
    Thomas
    P.S: Windows Ultimate 64bit system, LR 3.3 64bit
    http://hintze-photo.com

    In the Library Module go to >Photos  > Stacking.
    You have to select at least one image and its virtual copy or else the stacking menu will be greyed out.
    Then choose from the options in the menu.

  • Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8% before this happens any idea how to fix I have a movie deadline to meet!

    Hi all,
    Finished editing a short movie.
    Then went to share on vimeo but got this message - see also screenshot when I tried to export to desktop.
    Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8%.
    Have tried deleting my render files for the project and also another fix mentioned of deleting any black space files on the edit itself but neither work?
    Just upgraded to OS Mavericks could this be causing it? If so how to downgrade?
    thanks
    Louis B

    Thanks for your help both, I called Apple tech support and spoke to a really helpful chap called Andrea who helped me out. Now got my Master file sorted and am trying Vimeo upload again.
    Just to clarify points for people out there with the same issue:
    First steps
    - Ensure background rendering is turned off in preferences
    - Delete project and events render files
    - If upgraded to Mavericks then go to FCPX in finder under applications hit buttons 'CMD' and 'I' together and tick the 'prevent App Nap' box.
    Next Steps
    I had already done all of this when Apple Tech spoke to me so we discussed the message 'Quicktime -50' and what it meant. It wasnt a purely generic error message but was not detailed enough to point to one specific issue. This problem had occurred in previous years (so Mavericks not wholly to blame) and patches were issued over the years by Apple to help resolve some of the problems.
    The message essentially is indicating that there is a problem somewhere with the media in some way shape or form.
    My export went to 8% then failed. Apple's answer was that the project settings were corrupted in some way.
    So what they suggested (so simple I could kick myself) was to select all the media files by 'CMD + A' then copy them 'CMD + C' then create and open a new project timeline, and then paste in 'CMD + V'.
    Then we tried export again this time to a master file with some settings detailed by Apple.
    The difference now was it got to 40% then failed but due to a different reason 'error -1 frame 10124 error'
    At last we get past the project issues and into the event media issues, it seems that when I loaded the compact flash last night, the iMac kept ejecting the reader so had to copy files over quickly and seems that some of the file clip I used although showed on the viewer, didn't seem to have loaded all the correct media, so selecting this clip frame 10124 on the viewer I found that it showed as red on the frame row which implied an issue. So I simply bladed it off and deleted it.
    Then I reran the export to Master file and it worked, though jumping from 40% to 100% complete was a shock to me!
    Now am trying the export to Vimeo - hope this helps some of you out there. Worst case pick up the phone to Apple and speak to the Final Cut Pro guys they can help.
    best wishes,
    Louis B

  • Vista/Adobe 9/sql image Error in Crystal Report:Failed to Export the Report

    When I try to export my Crystal Report (v2008) from a Vista machine (using Crystal RDC export methods) as a PDF, I get the following error:
    Error in Crystal Report:  Failed to export the report.
    This only happens when a particular subreport (that contains a sql image) prints (based on an input parameter).  We have other subreports (within this same report) that print a sql image just fine.  But, when this subreport prints, the above error appears.
    I can run the same report on an XP machine without error.
    Exportmodeller.dll and crtsv.dll are both installed and registered to the
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\bin folder
    I have tried opening the report, removing the image, and then adding it back in again to the subreport.
    Still receive the same error.
    Any suggestions?

    Don,
    Can you please clarify?
    Our VB6 app that uses Crystal XI RDC runtime components.  Our Crystal reports are edited in CR2008 SP1 developer edition (not through the VB.NET embedded report designer).  We have deployed the CRXIRelease 2 runtime components (via the merge module) to our client machines in order to execute the RDC.
    We can print/preview/export to excel, but the pdf creation is failing with this error.
    We are only using the RDC (which we know is no longer supported) because of huge issues with the Crystal for .NET methods we are having with our customers (I have an active case for this issue).  Therefore, we have to rollback our .NET product and revert to the RDC code. 
    Vista is failing to create a PDF for a report developed in the CR2008 SP1 developer edition when using the RDC.
    When you say  "Also, those old dll's will not work in CR 2008. Last patches will give you the option to export to Excel in Legacy mode. We built it into our export dll.", what do you mean by "will not work in CR2008"?
    Thank you

  • Error "Failed to Export PDF" with big image on CS6 (32) and CC (64)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm on indesign CS6 (v8.0.2) and when I try to export pdf with a very big image ( *.tiff, 25000*35000 pixels, ) , the action failed with this message :" Failed to export a PDF".
    To be sure that there is no any corrupted elements, I made a very simple layout (one page , and just one element for my image,I turnoff prefilgth and all  ressource intensive options, and export with no downsampling or resampling) and try to export with different size image:with 20000*30000 -or smaller -image the export works, always failed with image .The export failed to in scripting mode.
    If I diveded my image in four , the export works but this solution is not convenient (I actually made tests for a fully automatised process, and we want to be sure that the indesign  component is  enough "safe")
    I try the same action with an evaluation version of indesign CC 64 bits (v9.2) and have the same behavior.
    I can imagine that there is a memory issue there, but my config seems to be strong ( windows server 64 with  16GB ram, DD with more than 100GB free). I don't undersant why-in a "full" 64 bit environnement- it is not possible to manipulate and export very large image ?
    I'm wonder If the background task is a part of the problem, and if it 's possible to disable it in CS6 or CC as in cs5 ( creates an  “DisableAsyncExports.txt” file in  Adobe InDesign executable directoty don't seems to disable it  in CC or CS6).
    Thank you for your help and good ideas..

    this is a .tif (not a "big"tiff) compressed in LZW or ZIP.
    I just tried with another format (png), the error is the same...

  • Bug or User Error - Virtual Copy

    All,
    I'm still on 1.3.1 (still too much dust flying on 1.4.1), Mac OS X 10.4. The situation is as follows: Took a standard RAW image file from Canon 40D.
    1. Made a virtual copy of the original, crop aspect set to 8x10, made adjustments, etc. including some spot removal, etc.
    2. Made a virtual copy of the virtual copy, converted to Grayscale, "assumed" the crop value and spot removals came with it. Instead, the second virtual copy is showing up with a crop value of 4x5 and the spots removed in the first virtual copy, return.
    It is very repeatable, and not associated with a specific image file. I haven't tried it on Windows XP yet.
    Jay S.

    Hal,
    I've been doing a little more with this. In Develop module, if I make a Virtual Copy of an image where I've used a Metadata preset to add some data to the image, that metadata preset is refected in the virtual copy as well, if I do the same exact thing with the same exact image in Library mode, the metadata is set to None, as opposed to the Preset I used with the original.
    I know this is different from what I originally stated but seems odd. Also I'm not sure why you don't consider it a bug, small as it may be. I set the original to 8x10, if I wanted the lower ratio of 4x5, I would have set it to that. If 8x10 didn't matter to Adobe then why have it as an option. In my mind the Virtual Copy should reflect the same choice made on the original.
