LR screen problem: dims automatically in loupe view

I have a bit of a problem that appeared the past weeks... Lightroom dims the screen in loupe view; when I adjust exposure or click into a menu, the screen lights up again, but dims very fast once out of that... makes it near impossible to correctly edit exposure. Cycling to light settings doesn't help any; checked power settings on the display adapter as well... but since it does not happen in other software on my Win7 64-bit, it seems LR specific.
I don't recall having changed any settings though; not sure what is triggering this.
Hope someone can help out, because LR has been pretty useless to me for a few weeks now.

This can happen whilst LR is rendering larger previews for the second monitor. It should only take a very short time and "rendering larger previews" should appear on the screen until it has done so. You can set how long LR retains these preview files in the catlog settings.

My screen keeps dimming automatically

My brand new Macbook Pro's screen keeps dimming the screen all the time regardless of which setting is it on. Its the first time it does that today and it's so annoying!!!! I have the following options: Put the hard disks to sleep when possible, slightly dim the display when using this power source, automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep and restart automatically if the computer freezes.... The only thing that is check marked is Put the hard disks to sleep when possible and automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep... Any advice? I googled a bunch of stuff but I don't have the options they give to help my problem such as un check the automatically adjust display or what not...
Thanks

You have to go to System Preferences > Displays (not Energy Saver where you were).
If you really don't have it, and you have an external display attached, that's the reason why. If that's the case, let me know, and I'll give you directions to do it.

Screen redraw bug when panning in Loupe view at high magnification

I think I've found a bug in Lightroom.
Using the Loupe view at higher than 1:1 magnification and panning whilst zoomed seems to cause screen redraw artifacts. It is most noticable at high zoom (say 11:1) when panning diagonally. The edges being revealed draw incorrectly. Seems to only happen once the 1:1 preview rendering has been completed, initial panning whilst the preview is being rendered looks fine. Zooming out and back in redraws the screen correctly, but subsequent panning still causes artifacts.
I first thought it must be my graphics drivers, but have updated to the latest available driver (version 7.2 21 Feb 2007) for my ATI Radeon 9800 and the problem remains. I have also tried this on my laptop a Sony VAIO VGN-S3HP (with NVidia GeForce 6200 based graphics) with the same problem. Therefore as this happens on both a NVidia and an ATI card I can't blame my graphics drivers any more.
Can anyone reproduce?
Best regards,
Andrew

I've just seen a similar problem on my DELL laptop. Anything at 2:1 or greater magification gets the jagged edges whilst panning up and down in loupe mode. This makes the compare mode to be worthless as the two images can't be compared as they each suffer different amounts of jaggies.
Windows XP, Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset.
I'm going to raise a bug report.

Dimming screen problem

I am also having a problem with the screen going dim, and not being able to brighten the display.
I have already gone to preferences>EnergySaver and unchecked "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep and it did not help.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
thanks in advance.

I had that problem last october when i bought my 20" G5, was a faulty power inverter that was causing it....course it took apple 3 months to fix the problem due to the parts being put ona shelf and forgotten (although they didnt forget to charge me for the parts i didnt recieve). In the end it got all sorted out, but now im getting the scrambled video problem mentioned in the notice on the supprt forums. It's strange, i thought i bought an apple...not a lemon.
Miffed customer
P.S. check out the notice if you have any display or power issues, as apple seems to be addresing them (although you have to take your computer to a dealer, which for me is impossible seeing as the nearest one is 400km's away).

Problem with loupe view after upgrade to LR 2.3

Has anyone had any problems similar to this? I could use some help. In the library module when I go to loupe view I don't see the selected photo, instead it gets frozen up or something. For example, if I open up a web browser on top of LR the image of the web browser is stuck in the loupe view. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your reply.
I can try with 1.5 (not installed on the server), but this is from the readme file:
1) To use APEXExport, a JDK of version 1.4 or greater must be used. Additionally, the Oracle JDBC
20 class libraries must be in your CLASSPATH.
So apparently, the JDK requirements didn't change.

When i move my cursor to the top left corner of the screen, I am automatically logged off. Is it a software problem or is it a feature I can turn off?

I don't think there is an option for logging off in the Hot Corners, but check Mission Control System Prefs, Hot Corners button. What is set in the top, left.

LR CC Loupe View Problem

After upgrading to LR CC (LR6), I followed prompt to upgrade the catalog.
My photos show in the filmstrip, but the loup view is filled with a blue box with a white X.
How can I fix this?

Now this has happened in the Develop module. I get a blue screen with a white X instead of my photo. The right and left side panels show the correct information from the edits I made in LR5 before the upgrade, but I cannot make further edits.

Screen dims automatically with Ext. Display

Hi guys,
I can't stop the PB screen dimming automatically when an external display is plugged in and the PB is running of AC. The appropriate box is unticked in Energy Saver.
If I reboot with the screen plugged in, it's fine - until I remove the external display and plug it back in a again.
I tried a PMU reset - no luck.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Ben
Edit: running 10.4.6

Hi, Brian. There's no bug — you must have AC power plugged in to use the machine in clamshell mode. If you don't, clamshell mode doesn't work. Your machine is behaving as it's designed to do.

Problem: Loupe View Size & Histogram Info Gone

Somehow I pressed something that changed a setting and I can't go back. When I go to the Loupe view of a picture, its really small. The shooting info on the Histogram is gone now too. Even when I click over to the develop module is still small.
I can't figure out how to just reset the default settings for fix whatever got messed up. I can't find anything on google either. Thanks in advance for the help!

I tried to figure this out for hours now and think I am just too stupid.. Can anyone pretty please help me!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Magnetic problem? iBook G4 Superdrive 12" has stuck DVD, screen quits dim

Please help me as I have had a lot of distress the past year about my aging iBook G4. After three years the Superdrive collapsed as it would not take media into the slot. I replaced the original Combo Drive immediately after purchasing the iBook in late 2004 with the said SuperDrive. Last fall I replaced the Superdrive after waiting a year with a new DL Superdrive. It has been working fine especially since I had a screen issue due to a strange voltage issue (my father bumped into the AC adapter, and the screen died and the iBook became unbootable) where I thought my iBook became fried though Apple Store found no trouble after some rest at the store my iBook miraculously worked again after they inspected it and removed the RAM I had added.
Now I am traveling, and after going through the x-ray security at LAX the computer had trouble booting and gave me a colorful lines screen before turning faint though not black. As if it were a kind of sleep- like a coma. This could be because I left media in the optical drive while leaving the iBook off?
Well, the problem has continued, and now I have a jammed DVD that stickes out about 3/4 of an inch. I am lucky to have a new MacBook, but I am getting antsy because I do not have easy wifi in my 3rd world locale, and I don't want the iBook to die - Apples are like children. Please help out with all the solutions possible because of my limited research time. I vagely remember having the colorful lavendar screen problem before, and I have heard of DVD jam problems (media stuck problems) before, but it's been a while, so I really forget what to do though I should in the future be more careful about using the slot-loading optical drive.

After doing the fix on this website: http://www.coreyarnold.org/ibook/ , and I have found out only two places in the USA do reball work on the logic board instead of replacing the whole board for about $50, the computer works again. I even had the flashing question mark discussed on the web page, so I had to take-apart and reassemble again. The computer worked on its own using the pressure method left of the trackpad occasionally from Sunday until Wednesday (today) though the computer collapsed again. Since the shim fix it boots and runs without the pressure method, and I used the exact size and kind of protector disc. I am going to keep an eye on it to see it through otherwise, it's going to a shop.

Screen goes dim when processor working - even when plugged to mains power.

Screen goes dim when processor working - even when plugged to mains power.
Whether I'm running 3D software or just surfing the net, the screen keeping fading/dimming and then recovering over a few seconds. No USB devices connected, mains power on - NOT IMPRESSED!
Any ideas - a hardware problem? Back to Mac?

If you go to System Preferences > Energy Saver, the is a checkbox under the "options" tab that says, "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep." On my new MBP (10.5.1), this was "on" by default. Try unchecking it and see if it helps.

Loupe View Malfunction

I know I posted this before, but I didn't get an answer which adequately explained my problem.
I did a Batch rename of 179 photos of 300 in a folder; the others were rejected. Then, I exported them as reduced sized jpegs. I had other programs open, Browser and Photoshop Elements. After the process was finished, I lost the ability to see photos in the loupe view. I could see the grid, or even compare mode. When I tried to see a single photo in the loupe, I either got a blank screen, or it stayed in the grid mode. This has happened several other times.
I am running a 4200+ AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core, with 2G of Ram. HD has over 125GB of space left.
Video is onboard ATI Radeon Express 200 Series.

Seems to me that what I've asked of LR and my system should be properly handled by my system. Unless, I have a bug somewhere or an improper setting.

Have you rendered 1:1 previews in advance, since you are viewing 1:1?
Menu/Library/Previews/Render 1:1. You can do it on a Large Selection. You do not need to rednder for All Photographs.

Loss Of Loupe View

I wrote of this phenomena when I had LR 1.2 Now I have LR2, and I am getting the same problem as described below:
After importing 200 plus photos and looking at them in the library, I lose the loupe view. In the loupe view I either see the same thumbnails I see in the Grid view or simply a blank screen. It appears that the view changes to loupe, but the center display does not. Seems to me that somehow the system is getting overloaded. However, I have an AMD dual core and 2G of RAM, so it ought to handle almost anything I throw at it.
ATI Radeon Express 200 256MB
Anyone every experience anything like this?

Never seen, nor heard of this before.
Try a video driver update.

Unable to dismiss dialog when screen is dim

Using an iphone 4 with ios 7 installed, the power saving dim mode that is enabled after a period of no user input stops user interacting with dialog modals.
When I am using Clock -> Timer, and I set the timer for a duration long enough to cause the screen to dim, but not long enough to cause the iphone to go black, the dialog which pops up notifying me of my timer being finished can not be dismissed. When the dialog becomes active the screen remains dim and does not respond to any input, I have to return to my home screen and login to continue using my iphone.
Does anyone else have this problem/know of a solution?
Where am I able to submit this as a bug to apple?
Cheers

Is this in Safari or Preview?
You really need to use the "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin" for Safari which comes with the Adobe Reader installation. Then you'll be able to see PDF files in Safari just find. I would also select Adobe Reader as your default application for opening and viewing PDF files. Preview just does a bad job with some PDF files.
Good luck,

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.
