LR is Exporting Images VERY NOISY Folder + Smugmug

Hi! I am a professional Photographer, I recently bought a New Alienware PC, and reinstalled all of my Adobe software and Upgraded to LR5.. My Work Flow usually goes like this.. Import to LR> Export to PS> Save to LR> Export to Smugmug, I went to check out the images for my clients by downloading them before they printed them off. They are SO VERY NOISY. No matter what I do I cannot fix it! I am so lost. I will Upload screen shots of examples as well as my prefernece settings!!!

Exporting Images to a folder on the hard drive

I used to be able to export images to a selected folder on my hard-drive without having to identify the folder for every image.
Now when I export I need to select the folder on my hard-drive for each image even thought I'm going to process 50+ images for that folder.
What is wrong & how can i fix it?
Can anyone help?
I'm using Lightroom 5.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I just tried it again and it seems to be working....
If it happens again, will use export with previous.
I was exporting the normal way through the library but my sub-folder was on my hard-drive.

Problems exporting images from iPhoto

Hi all,
I have iphoto (ver. 6.0.6) on a MacBook running OSX 10.4.11. I have a WD external hard drive connected to an airport base station and due to a lack of space on my MacBook HDD, recently moved my iphoto library to the external hard drive. Since then I've had a few problems with the database becoming corrupted (probably my fault) and have rebuilt it a few times now. I've read a few posts explaining that image files should only be edited in iphoto and so I'm sticking to that now.
The new problem that I have is in exporting images to a folder, say on the desktop for example. I want to upload some images to a website to have them printed off. Previously, when my photos were on my MacBook HDD, I created a folder on the desktop, highlighted the images I wanted and dragged them to the folder, then uploaded them to the website from the desktop folder- job done. Now, however, when I try to either drag them to the destop folder or export them, some of the files are 'converted' to Unix Executable files while the others are in their original jpeg format. I've tried exporting them and selecting the jpeg option instead of the original default option but no luck. Can anyone suggest where the problem might lie or what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Two problems with your set up.
1. You getting a corrupted Library because iPhoto does not sit well with a wireless connection to the Library. If iPhoto is interrupted while writing to the database, then it becomes corrupted. Dropouts are a fact of life in Wireless networking. As long as you have this wireless connection you will have a significant risk of a damaged Library file.
2. My guess is that the External Disk is formatted for Windows (a FAT format). This exe issue arises when jpegs are stored on a FAT formatted disk. You need to reformat the disk for Mac OS X Extended.

Exporting images in order

I'm exporting images to a folder on my desktop to burn to a CD, but the images are not kept in sequential order. How do keep them in order on esporting and burning to a CD?

Hi lukesan,
Aperture does not control the order of which the files are shown in the finder. If you use column view files are sorted alphabetically, in list view you can select a column and sort on that column, e.g date. In icon view it's just the way you choose to place the files.
One thing you can do is to number images in a way that they sort in the order you want, e.g. 001 - picture.tiff, 002 - picture.tiff, ..... xxx - picture.tiff. That way the files will show in the correct order if the view is sorted on the name of the file. There are no other way to control in which order the images appear.
Best regards - Per.

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?

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.

Why is my QuickTime Pro exporting image sequences in the wrong order?

I am making timelapse films and using QuickTime Pro to export the images as a movie file. I have all the images in a folder named numericaly. I go file>import image sequence click on the first image and import. The images are in the correct order in the source folder I have also checked the resource files under show movie properties and they are in the correct order there. I then export as a QuickTime movie file at 1080p H.264 the film is stepping and the frames are out of sequence in the eported movie file. Why is this? Has anyone come across this before?

Is there anything else I could try.
Not sure. I would likely test an x264 export of the image sequence from QT 7 Pro or MPEG Streamclip (or from HandBrake if your system is not configured with the x264 codec) and see if the result was any better. This is not a problem I run into very often and, even then, the files were sent to me with no real indication of how they were originally encoded.
Or do you know how I can analise the exported file?
Not really... but it would be nice to have a tool which indicated the current frame type and listed pointers to frames/stacks of frames used for rendering reference.

Exporting image coordinates and size

I'd like to be able to export image position and percentage size for all pictures in a document (the purpose is to import this information into a database to facilitate autocreation of the douments later on), I've done this before for Quark files by processing the report files but InDesign doesn't have this information. I'm working with InDesign CS5 on OSX and have very little experience of AppleScript - I've had quite a good browse around but to no avail, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Generating a report for images has been done hundreds of times before But of course, never exactly the way you want it to.
This Javascript is based on one I wrote for a similar request; it only needed minor tinkering to fit your purpose.
app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
list = [];
imgs = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
unitname = getCurrentUnit();
for (i=0; i<imgs.length; i++)
h = imgs[i].parent.geometricBounds[2] - imgs[i].parent.geometricBounds[0];
w = imgs[i].parent.geometricBounds[3] - imgs[i].parent.geometricBounds[1];
left = imgs[i].parent.geometricBounds[1];
top = imgs[i].parent.geometricBounds[0];
scale = roundMe(imgs[i].horizontalScale,1);
// some fair rounding
switch (unitname)
case 'in':
   w = roundMe(w, 3);
   h = roundMe(h, 3);

Help!Importing images to existing folder in Aperture

Hi everyone,
I am currently try to use Aperture to organise my image files. I have a very large image library appoximatly 100GB, they are already been organised in different folder, and been backed up on the server. But because the library is taking up a huge amount of space on the machine, I moved my library onto a external HDD. However, after I have deleted all the images(not the folders), I will need to add more images into the folders on the machine, then add them into Aperture library. The problem I am having, is whenever I try to add the new images, Aperture will automaticlly create a folder for me with the same folder name again, rather than adding them into the exiting project. Is there a way to import new images to exiting project which I imported before without having Aperture creating new folders for me?
The difficult part is because it is not going to be 3 or 4 images in one folder, but over 100000 images in different folders, how I can transfer the image without have to make any changes to the project in Aperture?
Many thanks in advance!
Ken

Hi Celineken-
If I understand you correctly, you have new images in a folder on a disk somewhere, and projects in your Aperture library with the same name as one or more folders on the disk. When you import the new images, Aperture is creating a new project with the name of the folder on the disk and importing the images there, instead of the already-existing project with the same in your library, is that right?
If so, happily there is a simple solution for you: Open the Import Pane and navigate to the folder with the new images. Select the images you want to import, then click the Destination popup in the upper right of the screen, under the heading "Aperture Library". Change the Destination from New Project to the project of your choice. You can also save a step and just click the project from the Projects list on the left side of the Import Pane. Now, when you click the Import button, the photos will be imported into the project you specified.

Help with exporting images

HI
I have recently shot a wedding with two bodies. Forgot to sync the bodies before hand and so left with images at massively different times. in lightroom i then changed to view by capture time and amended all the wrongly timed images. i am then left with all images in order and looking as i want. I then put them in a catalogue and a collection to be on the safe side and exported both. Whatever i do i see the exported images in my pictures in the same order they were in before i changed the capture time. i have tried to research this until im sick of it. I just cant figure out what is going wrong. Just tried to save to dvd instead and saved but again in the order pre correction? please help

Hi did that this morning . I'm viewing in the exported named file in a
folder on the mac ... I've tried re naming , sort by capture time but the
minute I export , the exported file looks just the same as before I made
the capute time amendments .
Thanks

Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top

Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top of the folder icon. In other words, in Windows, you can see the first image that is inside the folder as an icon on the folder itself. Is there a way to do this on the mac? Maybe some software program that will do it? Thanks for you help!

It would be brilliant if Apple could make picture folders behave like events in iPhoto. You could see a photo on the folder, and also mouse over it to change pictures.
But no, there's not an application I'm aware of that does this. You can manually make a picture the folder icon, but it's a tedious process.
Unfortunately this is another example of how dated and worn out the Mac's interface is. The concept of using a file folder as the icon for a directory of images is so 80's. You could use coverflow, but that only helps once you're in the directory itself. Or use iPhoto or Aperture, although they just do photos. Or try Lyn as an alternative: it has a sort of iTunes-like interface, and makes it easy to organize photos without having to put them in iPhoto. And it can display photos that are already in Libraries.
But you'd probably need a Finder alternative. I use Leap, which displays any type of document. It also does tagging, which is another huge omission in the Finder. More like Windows Explorer (although still no photo on folder icons).
Another very stylish Finder alternative, especially useful for pictures, is FileBrowse. I don't know why it hasn't gotten more attention. It DOES put photo previews on the folders it shows. And allows one-click expansion to show the photo enlarged. It's super fast, and even allow you to group/sort by camera or flash! It really has to be seen to be appreciated. It works in Lion, although it doesn't seem to be have been updated lately. http://www.filebrowse.com/index.html

Export images to a directory structure based on a collection tree?

A question:
Will lightroom have the capability to export images to a directory structure which mirrors a collections logical structure?
The reason I ask this is that when I create websites using third party tools (eg, Jalbum) I typically generate a flash or HTML based site with an menu structure for navigating the images.
So, the image interface is not simply a "flat-file" display as per the templates in Lightroom beta.
To do this, with previous image management tools (eg, iMatch) I create a hierarchy of images based on the categories (or collections) that the images are assigned to, export the images in a folder tree reflecting their categories (or collection), then use, say, Jalbum, to generate the website with the menu tree reflecting the folders/images.
This is extremely useful for more complicated image websites with categories and a large no of images.
If this function was built into Lightroom I guess it would be in the export function such that the "write to folder" box could take an argument {collection name} which would create a folder tree reflecting the collections logical tree which is being exported.
Apologies if this topic has been raised previously. But this function is extremely useful if you are using third party html tools or simply building websites by hand.
Regards
Alistair

I started simmilar thread in Lightroom Feature Requests few months ago, but can't find it anymore since new forum version...
What I can suggest as a new feature is export to directory structure from collections or second option from keywords. Probably more usable and easier to implement would be from collections.
What I need it to export many photos to different directories pretty often, and this would be great help since I could arrange them in collections and collection sets. Then select collection set and export it in a manner that collection set would be main export directory, and each collection within the set would be exported to its own folder within main collection set export folder.
This would be much appreciated feature in near future
Thank you for great product by the way

I am using Lightroom 5.7, 64 bit with Windows 7 Professional. For no apparent reason, I now get an error message when I export a photo, say a raw image to a JPG. However, the exported image seems to be OK. But now I notice that my LR directory of folders in Library view does not show images correctly: If there is a folder with sub-folder(s), the folder will indicate 0 images, but the sub-folders show the proper number of images. What happened and is there a fix? I tried uninstalling Lightroom and re-installing, but problem persists.

Can I use Bridge to export image data into a .txt file?

I have a folder of images and I would like to export the File Name, Resolution, Dimensions and Color Mode for each file into one text file. Can I use Bridge to export image data into a .txt file?

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
#     CSV spec
#     - record separator is CRLF

Image in Lightroom doesn't match exported image viewed in Photoshop

After all my hard work in Lightroom, I export the image to a folder on my hard drive. When I open this exported image in Photoshop and view it alongside the Lightroom version of its "twin" in Lightroom, there is a significant difference. Why is this? I want to use these images in my books, but my time is wasted if I end up with anything other than what I created in Lightroom. Shouldn't these images match exactly?

Thanks Jao and Michael...the color management idea makes a lot of sense.
Adding to this idea, when I open the Pshop file I get a message about the doc having an embedded profile that doesn't match current RGB working space, and the usual 3 options: Use the embedded profile, Convert color to the working space, or discard embedded profile. No matter which option I choose, none of the opened docs match the Lightroom version.
The color balance is fine, but the colors aren't as vibrant. The Pshop photo is dull and lifeless compared to the Lightroom version. I used Clarity which added subtle brightness, and Vibrance to crank up the color in LR which added wonderful dimensionality and punch to the landscape scene, but the Pshop version has dulled these back down.

Can't open image in external editor, can't export images

Greetings helpful Aperture experts,
I've just finished transferring aperture from one computer to a replacement unit. Except for being slow on my previous g5, it worked flawlessly at every level. However, now that I've xferred, I can't open Aperture images with an external editor, nor can I export the images to my desktop. Any help along these lines will be gigantically appreciated.
gaylon

Thanks, ok, here is the info step by step:
When I try to pick any raw image, I am not able to export from Aperture. When I go into the finder and select "show master" then I am able to export from aperture. However, it seems that I am not able to export an image full size. I selected export image to full size jpg to my desktop. Nothing happens except that the window that indicates the image is exporting is open and it says estimated time less than a minute. Yet, there is nothing happening. Additionally, before I transferred Aperture over to my new g5, I could right click an image and had the option to open an image with external editor. Now, no such menu item is apparent. An update, the menu box that lets me know that my image is exporting is still open but there has been no progress. It will just sit there forever, or until I force Aperture to quit. Here's another strange goings on: One of my folders of raw images appear to be pixelated and of very poor quality, even when viewing the masters. The images have already been published by the client in their annual report, so I know that what I am seeing on the screen is not reality. Should I just uninstall Aperture and reinstall? Also, what will this do to the thousands of images in my libraries? Thanks so much for your input and help. In no way am I an expert, but I've been successfully using Aperture since it came out. That was on my G5 dual processor mac with pre intel configuration. Now, these strange things are happening with my new replacement G5 with the Intel processors. Thanks again.
