LR3 Web Export

Hi,
I have been exporting photos through the Web module using the Export button.
All worked fine until suddenly LR3 claims images are missing.
"Missing Images"
"export did not complete successfuly"
then there is a list of the images with there exact path e.g.
Original image file is missing : "Users/buisbird/pictures/Lightroom/Photos/2010/2010-03-30/YBP_7838.CR2"
- The strange thing is that the same images exported fine only an our ago.
- The location of the images has not changed, all drives are mounted.
- The images are exactly there where LR3 claims they can not be found.
- LR3 can edit the images, write and read xmp files to the location, all without any problems.
What can be wrong.?
Thanks.

What OS? If win7 make sure your user is still the owner of the drive you are trying to save to (explorer/properties/advanced/security/owner)

LR3 image export color problems.

When I export images from LR3 they are somewhat de-saturated - significantly different from what I see in lightroom.
This is viewing them outside of lightroom in the folder I have exported them to. I am using a Dell Vostro 17" that is calibrated.
Currently using ver 3.4.1 acr 6.4.1.
I have tried changing every color space and every file format available in the export dialogue - they all look the same after export.
Even tried varying the resolution and or size.The end result is the same.The only thing I haven't tried is printing to my 2880 to see if there is also a problem there.
Any suggestions?

Thank you Hal
I was instructed to do as you have indicated and until recently wasn't
paying close attention to my web exports and after looking closer you are
right on the money.
It wasn't until recently viewing a tutorial by RC Concepcion[photoshop guy]
in which he suggested trying- I believe Adobe RGB - vs sRGB that I started
to compare my web output to LR3 and was surprised to see how far off some
images were - obviously non-color-managed.
So now I am sort of breathing a sigh of relief but disappointed that some
images will not be viewed quite as I had hoped they would.

Slow Web Export in Aperture 1.5.1

I feel a little crazy for asking this, but it seems like web exports have gotten significantly slower since I upgraded to Aperture 1.5.1. I cannot find anything on my machine that would cause this. Has anyone else experienced this?
-Fletch
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I haven't noticed it being slower in v1.5.1 than previously. That said it's too slow and slower than it should be. My Mac Pro can knock out files as fast as 18 high res. files per minute (~90mb each. from 1DsM2) when I'm batching but web galleries tend to hover around 3 files per minute (2-6 overall). That's much too slow and would be a nightmare on location if you have to generate a web gallery from your laptop of a few hundred files.
Aperture needs to have an option to generate the web galleries from the thumbnails it creates (which I think fit within 1000 px square - more than enough for most web galleries) or from previews rather than from the raw files. This would speed things up considerably.
I haven't been using previews, I turned them off, so you might be able to use them for that if your referenced files are off-line, but it would still be nice to have the option to generate web galleries from Aperture's built thumbnails or the previews from an Aperture library or from referenced files.

Html link to specific photo in flash web export

I want to send someone links to specific images in my flash web export. I know I can direct them to the source image file, but I want them to see it in the flash export interface. Is there a way I can make a duplicate copy of the index.html and edit the start image and save as another name, or would I have to copy and alter the flash file?

You can't do a direct link to the image witht the built-in Flash movie. If you need to do this often, consider getting the SlideShowPro web engine and switching on "permalinks".
But to resolve your existing problem, it is fiddly. I assume you want the rest of the web gallery to work, so copy the index.html file, and then look for a folder called resources\mediaGroupData and make a copy of the file group.xml, so you have two xml files in that folder. What you would need to do is edit this "copy.xml" so it only lists your picture. Then back to your copy of index.html and replace any references to group.xml with copy.xml. I told you it was fiddly!

Black stroke around image in Web Export

More specifically, I'm using the LightRoom Flash Gallery selection as that provides just the structure that I want/need. To match my website (still in construction) I've altered the colors in LightRoom's controls. Separately, I've added a frame around each image in Photoshop with a dropshadow that bleeds into the background color (again, to match the website).
The problem is that there is a 2 pixel stroke around the image.
Unfortunately since the image has a frame of its own with a drop shadow bleeding to the page color as part of the image, and that there's a 2 pixel stroke around the image, I've got a dropshadow contained within a stroke frame around the image that already has a frame. To my eyes it looks rather silly.
Is there anything I can do to get rid of this stroke? You can see two images with the problem here:
http://thecoynes.com/hdr/hdr_photographs/
By the way, before you suggest it, in the color palette options for this Web Export, there is an option for "Border." Unfortunately that is for the 1 pixel round-corner-rectangle border around the thumbnails and image. It doesn't do anything to *this* border. In addition, the structure of this web gallery is EXACTLY like the one in Bridge and has the exact same results and problems.
Thanks for any help,
Gary

Tomrock,
Please read the last paragraph where I start "By the way, before you suggest it..."
In other words, yup, I've tried that and it refers to the 1 pixel border around the thumbs and the overall image.
Thanks for suggesting anyway, I've spent way too much time on this already.

Trouble creating web exports in BPA

I´m currently trying to create a web export in BPA, for a database where I applied a specific filter and where I customized som models and attributes.
At the end of the exporting process, while "transfering attributes", the process stops with an error.
I created another database, where I applied the same filter, and the export is successful, I can view the results in Publisher.
Thanks.
Ana Telha

Have you tried creating the export from scratch? Also, have you tried with any of the different profiles? I believe BPA ships with Profiles 1,2,3 which are all slightly different. Does your export fail using every profile?
I also know from bitter experience, that if you perfom an export and then change any aspect of the export profle (for instance) you are unable to update any existing exports successfully.

Unable to make web exports

Hi, all, i have the following installation:
BP Repository Server & BP Publisher in the same machine, the database is in a second machine (in an Oracle 10g db)
the communication between BP Architect and the repository works OK,
but when i want to create a web export i got the message "the procedure was canceled" and "unable to create export". In the window of the Tomcat process execution i see this exception:
Client receives this exception as CORBA::UNKNOWN
operation name: "createDataTransfer"
id: iiop

could be because i don't have a direct connect between the BP Publisher and the database and it is trying to use the Olite default database.
Any thoughts?
thanx in advance

Hi Jose,
can you please check he config file for server.xml with respect to hostname/ip and also check the corresponding entry under catalina? Please make sure they are fine and restart the server.

Save for Web Export

I am trying to use the save for web export option to save out a file of type JPEG.
I have gotten the code working fine if it saved out with the default file type of .gif, but I cannot get it to work with .jpg.
set theExportOptions to {class:save for web export options, interlaced:true, quality:30}
tell current document
export in (theLocation as text) as save for web with options theExportOptions
end tell
These are the pertinent lines from my code, so if anybody can tell me how to save the file as type JPEG so that it is a scripted version of Photoshop's save for web feature, that would great.
I am also using Photoshop CS2 v9.02 if that helps.

You would have to code that seperate eg:
FitImage(1000,500);
function FitImage( inWidth, inHeight ) {
   if ( inWidth == undefined || inHeight == undefined ) {
      alert( "FitImage requires both Width & Height!");
      return 100;
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
   var unitPixels = charIDToTypeID( '#Pxl' );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Wdth' ), unitPixels, inWidth );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Hght' ), unitPixels, inHeight );
   var runtimeEventID = stringIDToTypeID( "3caa3434-cb67-11d1-bc43-0060b0a13dc4" );
   executeAction( runtimeEventID, desc, DialogModes.NO );

Save for web export crashing photoshop

HI
In was wondering if anyone could help me. I have written a code that edits images but i am having trouble with the save for web export everytime it gets to saving it photoshop just crashes. I have tried a few different ways of coding it but all of them end of crashing PS and i am at a loss as to what is wrong.
Here is the code that i am using:
                                        set webFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select the folder to link to")
                                        set webOpt to {class:save for web export options, web format:JPEG, quality:89}
                                        set theDoc to current document
export theDoc in webFolder as save for web with options webOpt
any help would be great. I have tried it on CS6 and CC, both of which crash.

You need to pass a full file path to the export command… Probably need to change the extension too.
set myFullFilePath to (path to desktop as text) & docName
export in file myFullFilePath as save for web with options myOptions

Alternative to Save for Web/Export as CSS Layers?

I'm am SO DEVASTATED that CS6 got rid of the option to save as CSS layers in Save for Web. I just updated from 5 to 6 and now I'm looking for an alternative but am having no luck. I've tried some scripts I've found online but none of them work the way I need, or at all.
I do animation in AI where each layer is a frame on the animation. In CS5 I could Save for Web and check the Export as CSS Layers box. This would export all the layers in my AI file to pngs, where each layer is it's own png file, in one folder. I could then import them as an image sequence in Photoshop and turn layers on and off with each frame to create my animation.
I tried exporting my AI file to a PSD file with maximum editability but the more complicated the animation (meaning the more layers and the more objects on each layer) it would start flattening layers without warning. Not to mention the rendering time just opening the file in Photoshop and then trying to save it there once I had created all my frames. Photoshop froze on me 6 times this morning while I was trying things out.
I'm desperate for a simple way to do the CSS layer trick. If I can't find one, I'm going to have to go back to CS5 permanently, or until I can find a solution.

here you go, let me know if it cuts it.

Web Export / Lightroom

I'm using Aperture for editing / cataloging needs, but when it comes to exporting to a web page, well.... it really blows. With limited choices. On the other hand, I do like the web export features in Adobe's Lightroom.
So what would be the best workflow to store /edit /catalog my images in Aperture, but to export to web via Lightroom? Will I have to export the versions I want to disk, and then import to Lightroom in order to export to web?

Renaming files at web export time?

I have a particular file naming scheme for my Lightroom catalog (as I'm sure we all do), it works really well for keeping all the shots in my entire library organized in the filesystem... but of course it doesn't really take collections into consideration. It seems to me that the web module is really made for collections (or even smaller sub-collection selection sets), and that "web collection" order is not necessarily related to file sequence, chronological order, import time, etc... so is there a way to rename the photos at web export time making use of some kind of "web collection sequence" metadata?

Our goal in designing the output from the web module was to make the resulting gallery when viewed in a web browser the best experience possible. Therefore, we didn't spend any effort allowing the user to customize the way in which that exported gallery gets built internally.
That said, it may be possible for someone who writes their own gallery to specify a new naming scheme for the photos.
Why does it matter to you what the filenames on the web gallery photos are? Most users are going to view them in the context of the accompanying flash or HTML files, and won't be aware of what the filenames are behind the scenes. (I'm curious about how you're using the web module that this matters )

LR 1.1 web export color discrepancies

Okay, I have googled all over for this and have found people with the same issue, but nobody seems to have the answer. Hoping someone here has a solution to this.
What I am seeing is my colors being "enhanced", sometimes way too much when I export in either flash or HTML in the web module. I have done all kinds of tests, but I absolutely cannot find any settings for exporting in the web module. when I do an export under "file->export" and use colorspace AdobeRGB, it looks just like my Nikon RAW file. However, if I change the colorspace on export to sRGB, the color is greatly enhanced. This makes me feel as though I have no control over my images.
Take a look at the 2 following images. The first one is just a plain screenshot of the image in LR, the second image is a screenshot of the file after being viewed in the flash web export. Clearly LR is modifying the image on upload, but for the life of me I cannot find where this modification is taking place so I can try to shut it off. I would like full control of my images and just can't get it using the web export. Please help! I'm running windows XP Pro.
first image:

second image from flash export: (Yes I know it looks better, but I have zero control of it!)
http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/7501/afterlilykn9.jpg

In its basic form, the difference you're seeing is caused by the absence of color management in Windows browsers (with only partial support in Safari) and flash. However, I think you may also have an issue with your monitor profile.
Windows allows you to assign an ICC profile to your monitor that describes its color response (control panel -> display properties -> settings -> advanced -> color management). Lightroom uses this profile to convert the image data so that it displays correctly on your screen.
Browsers (Windows) and Flash do not do this, and send the image data directly to your screen instead. *If* your image is in sRGB *and* your monitor's response is close to the sRGB standard, things may look ok, but there are no guarantees.
However, the differences you are showing are very large, which leads me to believe that your monitor profile is describing a color space that is much larger than sRGB (the default web output). Have you assigned the Adobe RGB to your monitor, by any chance? Your monitor profile should match your monitor's actual response, so try to get one from your monitor manufacturer, or, better yet, get a hardware calibrator. If you're desperate, you can also try assigning the sRGB profile, but it's *not* a real solution [even less so for lousy laptop LCDs].

LR2 64-bit Web Export running too slow

The Web Export process is not using any of the processing power available to it on my computer. It uses only about 8% of the processor and the disk activity is not that high. It runs fast at first then slows down.

The only thing that is slow is the web previews. I canceled them and then just have tried creating the website. Still just not wanting to use the CPU, or much disk, or even change its memory consumption.
Here's a dir listing of the process
10/02/2008 05:55 PM 57,872 _MG_5132.jpg
10/02/2008 05:56 PM 54,151 _MG_5134.jpg
10/02/2008 05:56 PM 35,485 _MG_5135.jpg

10/02/2008 05:57 PM 50,906 _MG_5137.jpg
Taking 20 seconds to make some real low quality JPEGs. During most of that time no CPU is in use. The highest I've seen LR use was 15% for about a second.
Its like the program is waiting for something then finally it happens. The computer is running just fine otherwise. All other modules work at expected speed.
The beginning of the process does use CPU. Its just the part where its rendering the photos that dead slow.

LR3-Library-Export-Image Resizing: Specifying Pixel WxH results in different WxH - tips please?

This is a multi-dimensional question (he he). I understand my problem is related to the original/developed WxH ratio. If the pixel WxH I spec in Export-Image Resizing doesn't match that developed proportion, the results are not what I want. In other words LR3 keeps the original/developed proportion and not what I want for that export. Ok, so I just answered my own question - but..... please give me some library or export tips for doing what I want to do.
What I do:
1 - I edit my images in RAW and like to keep them in their original proportions from my Canon camera as that is the proportion of HxW i use the most
2 - Later, if the image is really good (at least I like it), I may export it for different purposes and then may choose or require a different proportion.
3 - I would really like to not have to re-crop in Develop, then go back and Export, then go back to Develop and change it back to original.
Besides being tedious and time consuming, can anyone recommend a better way for me to do these "one off" exports (seems to happen more often lately) without screwing around in Develop and messing up my original work?
Background:
One of the reasons I do this is to create wallpapers for computers, for various printing/framing proportions, and then for web site situations. Windows XP (and I think the others) gets really slow if the program must re-size an image for wallpaper (why? go ask Mr. Gates... better get in line). So to keep performance high, it is best to create the image in the exact pixel dimensions of the monitor. This is always some weird number and not like anything else I do this for. The other reason is for a quick, custom print job for someone who wants an odd matting setup for framing (don't ask). This results in odd proportions. Regarding the web.... well smooshing a pic into a column etc. etc... Now while I am proud of my art and understand LR3 will expect me to re-crop to preserve my artistic brilliance, but really..... I would be happy with a proportional crop from the parallel sides of the offending dimension.
Also, when I spec a dimension, shouldn't the DPI gray out? What am not understanding here?
One last request: please give me tips on solving for world peace... this one really bugs me.
Thanx in advance!

Bruce,
As you correctly noticed, the WxH ratio in export represents a canvas, into which the exported image is fit. Here are some illustrations on what the different settings mean:
For what you are trying to achieve, you have to crop the image to the correct dimensions before doing the export. If I had to do it, I would create virtual copies of the original image as the last step and give each virtual copy its own crop, then export the virtual copies.
Bruce in Philly wrote:

The DPI resolution has no meaning for the size of the resulting image if you specify pixels in your export dimensions. But the resolution tag is written into the image, which might affect the way an image is printed, depending on the printing application.
But if you specify your export dimensions in inches or cm, the resolution together with the dimensions in inch/cm determine the size of the resulting image in pixels. I.e. if you specify 5x7" and 300DPI, your exported images size will be 1500x2100 pixels.
