LR4 fixes?

Have been working with LR 4beta since it came out. Would like to see the following:
When exporting (processing), it does not automatically sync to library. Have to go to the folder and sync manually.     Need to have an oprion for automatic syncing.
Would like to be able to export to PS5 and remain in its raw format with the adjustments made just like it does from Bridge to Camera Raw to Photoshop.
One problem:
When using a second screen for previews ( I have a two monitor setup), adjustments made are quite lagging, but very quick when using only one monitor in the develop module.
System:          Intel Q9550 @2.83
                      8gb ram
                      Windows 7 64bit
                      AMD Saphire HD5850 with 1gb ram
If this is a know problem, would like to know if a solution is pending on final release, or if there is a recommended system that would illiminate this problem.

Maybe I am doing something wrong. When I export and process Canon raw filesto a specific folder (I store processed files on a seperate hard drive due to past drive failures), I go to that folder in the library module and they do not show up. I right click and press sync folder, it then imports the folder. What do I meed to do in order to eliminate this step?

I can export to photomatix . am considering LR4 over Aperature for ease of use with external editors. Currently aperature will be easier as file system more flexible unless this edit in function can be fixed

You need to fix the permissions on whatever "device, path or file" this erro message points to. This could be anything from trying to load a plug-in, access a device driver (printer, scanner, tablet etc.) to color profiles to your Photoshop scratch file. Impossible to tell. Check your Event Viewer. Perhaps there's some clue there...

Delete your preview cache, it is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA

Auto Fix in LR4

Does LR4 have a similar function as PSE10 Auto Quick Fix?

Presets do store absolute numerical values for adjustments, still so in LR4?
Given the image-adaptive nature of the ranges in LR4 absolute presets can hardly achieve what they did in LR3?
For auto it is worth while to test shift+doubleclick on individual sliders. You do not need to always apply the full auto mode (strg u).
I find exposure often best set manually by myself, and use the auto on some or all other basic sliders.

Daylight savings problem - Fixed in LR4?

Hi all,
I'm using LR3 and recently discovered a problem where the program automatically adjusts the 'Time Taken' field in the photo's EXIF data to match Daylight Savings time. Obviously this is extremely stupid becasue I want to know what time the photo was taken at at the time, not what it corresponds to now.
It seems the problem has been around since LR1.0, and there's a lot of threads about this dating back to 2007, such as this one: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1383951#1383951
What I really want to know is this: Is the problem finally fixed in LR4? If so I'll be upgrading as quickly as possible.
Thanks,
Martin

Why don't you try it out for yourself. Download the LR4 trial and see if it works properly for your circumstances using a test library. Obviously, be sure to you don't upgrade your only copy of your LR3 library in the process.

Installed LR4...now, importing takes hours, any ideas as to how to fix?

Everything worked fine for a while. Then installed Jeffrey Friedel's plug in to export, and still worked fine...then all systems slow down to lock up....importing taking hours, developing taking minutes to load one image - although not always - it seems to "hang" after trying to open a few images one after another. I optimized my catalog, emptied trash. Didn't help. Someone looked at it at thought my LR has a "memory leak"....I have no idea if that is correct (even what that is) or how to fix it if that is the case. He looked at CPU usage, I believe, and decided that. Please help, if possible, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My system is less than 2 years old, Windows 7- my processor is AMD Phenon(tm) II x 4 925 Processor. My hard drive back up has plenty of space - 4 terabytes. I purged ACR cache, changed maximum size from 1 gb to 10 in preferences, as suggested in other locations, still no improvement.
I must get some work done by tomorrow...is it possible to revert back to LR 3 and how specifically should I do that.
Am I the only one who is frustrated about purchasing a product, and then having to purchase the assistance (providing extra revenue) for the company that made the product to try to get it operational? Is there any quarantee it will work so I don't waste my nmoney? I appreciate the responses on this forum - many people try to give assistance, donating their time and effort...but I've searched, posted, and so far, no answers.
Am I missing something?

Hello texaslady,
If the error remains after unplugging the printer for at least 10 minutes, it may require service. Please get in touch with our technical support department at http://bit.ly/Phone_Support so we can look into which options you have.

Have LR5 and now when I open it LR4 actually opens. Everytime. Frustrated to no end. Need to fix thi

Having a lot of trouble with my creative cloud account too. Been back and forth with tech support for a month and nothing. Now, LR5, which I own outright, is opening in LR4. I get nothing of LR5. So fed up I can't explain it. Please, someone at leasty help me with the LR5 problem. I am a photojournalist full time and use this software everyday.

Ok, easy as!!!
It is just the catalog name that you are seeing at the top an yes it does say Lr4 in it. But it is just a name. You can change it in finder (with Lr closed) but make sire toe rename the preview files as well.
See I have renamed mine to "working catalog"
also the tools are the correct ones just like I have:
But I am thinking you may have other things that seem wrong.... if so just ask away!!

Canon iPF printers No Color Correction fix for LR4

Once again because of Canon's use of a special casing file to identify applications that when choosing application manages color printing, set No Color Correction instead of Color in the printer driver, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 needs to be added to the AppColorMatchingInfo.xml file.
This file includes all previous updates and Photoshop CS6
http://www.dypinc.com/Canon/AppColorMatchingInfo.xml.zip
The file goes here.
/Library/Printers/Canon/GARO/Frameworks/GARO_CUPS.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AppColorM atchingInfo.xml
Make sure you save the original in case you want to go back to it.
Doyle

Lightroom 3.2 final release has the internal name of Lightroom 3 so it is already listed in the AppColorMatchingInfo.xml. That is if you have installed the x300 drivers or have replaced the AppColorMatchingInfo.xml file with my version.

LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

Is there a fix for this? When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image. In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal. This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release. I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.
System
Lightroom 4.2 x64
Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64

This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files. LR4 released at the same time as the D800. LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool. Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop. LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems. As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.

Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

Help! What should I do???
Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta. I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names. I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process. Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them. Any thoughts on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem. Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
Matthew Kraus

Republish to Flickr from LR4 posts as new photos instead of updates them (only one set, not all)

I have a single set on Flickr that I cannot republish updates to from LR4 - republishing a modified photo posts it as a new photo. All other sets seem to work fine. I use the "built-in" Flickr plugin and LR4.3 with a Flickr Pro account. This issue started with LR4.2 when I got my Nikon D800. I've tried just about everything I can think of and have been searching for any similar problems for months and decided to finally ask for help myself.
Back in October I created a set of an event, and published the photos to Flickr without issue. A week later I wanted to republish a few photos and noticed that they instead published to the set as new. If I mark to republish, yet another copy is posted as new. After some testing, this is only for images in this one particular set - any other images in any other set update their existing version as expected.
After a while I began to wonder if the machine tag I added was causing it (active:event=) so I removed the tag from the image on both sides and tried to republish again with the same results.
Naturally I delete the new copy of the image from Flickr which then dissassociates the LR photo with anything on Flickr. I found another (cludgy) plugin which can associate photos in LR with photos on Flickr and that fixes the link between the two. But again, republish from LR and a new copy shows up.
Any ideas? This has been driving me nuts. I haven't found any special permissions or settings on the Flickr set or within LR which would explain why this one set is affected and no others. I don't want to delete the set on Flickr and lose the history. I'm trying to avoid having to manually update the images on Flickr where I would also have to manually update the titles, etc.

This has happened for LR4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and now LR5. The seemingly random nature of this bug is irratating. Last week while still on LR4.4 I published a photo, changed it, and was able to republish it without issue. Today on LR5 I published a set and went to republish a handful of photos only for them to be added as new photos to the set. LR5 indicated that they were photos to republish and not new ones to the set.

LR4 error when reading from its preview cache, needs to quit

I'm getting the above message. Lightroom says it will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches,
requiring me to click OK and the program closes. When I relaunch it, I see the same message.
I'm on a PC w/ Win7; I updated LR4 with the 4.1 download recently to enable it to read the 5DMarkIII raw files.

From: "Steve from Maryland
I am having this problem regularly now on my laptop (SSD HDD and 64 bit
Win7Pro). I have erased the cache multiple times (BTW- you have to stop
textextractor.exe to be able to do this- more on this below as well). The
corruption keeps happening and I don't know why. Anyone????
Not sure what cache you are talking about. LR only refers to two 'caches' -
the acr cache which stores part-rendered images to speed up rendering in
Develop, and a video cache which does something when you use videos. The
catalog and previews are stored in another folder, along with a previews.db
and a rootpixels. db which store info on the previews.
If you are having trouble as you describe, you need to delete the previews
folder (including the two .db files) just leaving the catalog. Then you need
to clear the acr cache (under Edit/preferences/File handling/camera raw
cache). Then regenerate all your previews in LR (select your main parent
folder, and tell it to build all previews). If you have a lot of images,
best to do this overnight.
Then all the various caches, databases, previews, and catalog should now be
in sync again, and you shouldn't see that error.
Not sure what textextractor is but if it interferes with LR, I'd get rid of
it.

Internal error: assertion failed - still won't work in LR4

When I try to export an image from LR4 I get the "internal error: assertion failed" error. I'm running Lion 10.7.3 on a MacBook.
I started by reading the thread at:
Re: "internal error: assertion failed" when exporting via LR4
tinaTS offered what she thought was the correct fix but her suggestion didn't apply to my situation. She suggested moving user presets but I don't have any to move.
I also tried the basic “repair permissions” and Lion restart with no luck.
Kirk Marcus suggested removing the com.adobe.Lightroom4.plist from my library. This didn't help, still getting the error.
Then I removed these files as well:
com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist
com.adobe.Lightroom2.plist
com.adobe.Lightroom3.LSSharedFileList.plist
com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist.lockfile
None of that helped.
I tried removing all files that began with com.adobe.Lightroom and then creating a new library and just importing one picture but I still get the same "internal error" VERY FRUSTRATING.
Obviously, the program is worthless to me if I can't export images.
Additional suggestions would be appreciated. I see that lots of people on the internet are having this problem but none of the suggestions I've found so far have been of any help.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried removing the com.adobe.Lightroom4.plist. This didn't help, still getting the error.
Then I removed these files as well:
com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist
com.adobe.Lightroom2.plist
com.adobe.Lightroom3.LSSharedFileList.plist
