LR4 - still can't include crop in import preset

I was hoping that LR4 will be able to include cropping in import presets. 
Still can't, very disappointing as I have to crop all images I import.

  • Still no option to include crop in User Preset in LR3...

    Can anyone explain to me why the developers of Lightroom insist on excluding the option of saving crop ratios along with the other adjustments in the User Presets?
    I see that new adjustments such as lens correction are now included as options in LR3 User Presets, so why has crop ratio not been added?
    I am a professional photographer, shooting mostly interiors and still lifes with the camera tethered to my computer.
    I switched from C1 Pro to Lightroom 2 due to unresoved software issues with C1 Pro and for the most part have been happy with switch, using the Auto Import feature to shoot directly into Lightroom and applying a User Preset automatically on the import.
    However, I have been frustrated by the inability of Lightroom to automatically apply a crop to an incoming image - frequently I am required to shoot for a specific layout and on many shoots art directors or clients are looking at new versions of images as they come on screen and to have to manually apply a crop before they can view an accurate composition is irritating for all.
    I realise that it is now possible with LR3 to shoot tethered 'natively' into Lightroom 3, which solves the issue of automatically applying a crop to an image on import by selecting 'same as previous' under Develop Settings. However, I am unable to use the 'native' tethered option as, although I normally shoot with a 5D II which is supported, when mirror-lockup is enabled, the Lightroom tethered control panel will not fire the camera shutter (this is similar to C1 Pro). Therefore, I need to be able to use the Canon Eos Utility to fire the camera, coupled with the Auto Import of Lightroom when using mirror-lockup, which means being unable to apply a crop on import.
    Adding the option to save a crop ratio with a User Preset would have two significant benefits in my opinion:
    1. It would mean that a crop could be applied automatically on import when shooting tethered and not wanting to use LR3's native tethering interface.
    2. Users of cameras not supported by LR3's tethering would be able to apply a crop automatically on import.
    The other solution would be for the developers to include the 'same as previous' option for those using the Auto Import feature.
    I really do hope that the option to save a crop ratio as part of a User Preset in Lightroom is included sooner rather than later, as I feel that it is a glaring omission in what is otherwise a very solid application.
    Any views would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Liam

    Thanks for suggestion Gary.
    Using Live-view on 5D II does keep the mirror in the lock-up position and therefore you could use this technique with LR's tethering controls. However, for me this is not a solution for a few reasons: Live-view shooting drains the battery; extended use of Live-view can have a negative effect on sensor noise due to heat; sometimes it is very useful to be able to use the EOS Utility to control camera settings e.g. changing length of exposure for blending purposes without the need to touch the camera at all.

  • How can I include metadata when importing libraries?

    I've exported my 100 GB of photos to an external hard drive. Now I would like to split my photos into five libraries and import them including their metadata (modifications and tags, mostly) to my new libraries. Is that possible?

    I actually copied the library with all its content to an external drive of 1 TB. My plan was next to delete all photos on my iMac and then copy photos by year into separate libraries. However, I was recommened to try software that allows me to organise several libraries.
    Thanks anyhow.

  • I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download  said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

    I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download  said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

  • Despite checking the "Do not import suspected duplicates" box, my Lr4 still did re-import hundreds of photos. Anyone know how to avoid that?

    Despite checking the "Do not import suspected duplicates"box, Lr4 still did re-import hundreds of photos from the same exact card they were imported from originally. Anyone know what I should do differently next time?

    The problem with duplicate detection is that, as far as I can tell, Lightroom is using details it discovers about the file being imported (examining EXIF data and file stats) and what is already in the catalog. Unless it finds an exact match for all parameters, the file is not considered a duplicate. From my own experience, if Lightroom decides a file is a duplicate it is nearly always correct. However, when it misses, it really misses. I have not read anywhere that Lightroom is building and storing a hash count which would make the process more accurate. I also suspect that the search for duplicates is when you are importing a set of photos from one location (a memory card for example) and storing them into the same folder all the time. So, if you take a memory card and import all the photos into Folder_X and then later try and import the same photos into Folder_X again, Lightroom will catch that they are duplicates. But, if you were to import that same group of photos into Folder_Y, Lightroom will not catch it indicating the comparison is not catalog wide. I am not sure how to influence this behavior and it is not anything you did wrong or failed to do. It just is the way it is...

  • Help! Still can't import with Leopard and LR 1.3

    I still can't import off my CF card since upgrading to Leopard. I still get the same message I got with LR 1.2:
    "Could not copy a file to the requested location. (2)
    _DLL6859.NEF
    _DLL6860.NEF"
    does anyone know why this might be? The import dialogue still opens automatically when I insert the card, and I can see the images in the preview pane of the import dialogue, so I don't think it's the card reader. I've double-checked all my paths and they are the same as they were with Tiger. I've got plenty of free space on my storage drive. I tried copying the files off the card onto my desktop and it won't import from there either. please help, I've been without LR for weeks and waited patiently for the upgrade but it's still not importing. Any and all assistance accepted!
    Thanks!

    well guess what folks. after several conversations with adobe, and one with apple, we figured out that it is a permissions problem on the second, internal storage drive that I use to store my photos. the LR folks say it's an apple issue and....you guessed it....the apple folks say it's an adobe issue. I suspect it's an apple issue. It was never a problem until I upgraded to leopard. And, I found the solution in the apple forums, with the help of a user there. I just had to go into the storage drive and click "ignore permissions" and presto, LR is working again (or at least import is. I haven't put it through it's full paces yet.)
    wish I didn't wait until 1.3 came out to figure this out! but i figured it was a compatibility problem and I should give adobe a chance to update for leopard. Now, of course, I have a 500GB internal storage drive that nobody needs permission to mess with, but at least I have my main photo app back.....
    Here's another lesson from this: hours on the phone with adobe and apple tech support, three separate techies, serial numbers verified someplace in India.......and the answer came from a user forum. Bravo!

  • I want Siri on iPhone 4. it can be included technically. please add it in a future ios version. it is an important feature.

    hi,
    I want Siri on iPhone 4 as millions of other users, I think.
    it can be included technically. please add it in a future ios version. it is an important feature. iPhone 4 was an expensive phone (800$ for me, I have a 32 MB version). it should have it now. low cost Android phone has it.
    I am frustrated to not have it.
    I like very much apple products (and make a lot of friends and family members buy apple products).
    So, Apple should care about users or they will buy go elsewhere.

    Apple has already noted several years ago that iPhone 4 is not designed to have siri working on it. All models before iPhone 4S and iPad 3/Air doesn't have the processing power for Siri functionality.

  • HT1933 I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!!

    I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone5c but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!! I'm not sure if it started after I updated my iOS cos I was able to update a few other apps. I just can't connect to neither apps store nor iTunes! I need help else I'd boil this phone alive!

    Hello IamJudekow,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with connecting to the App Store on your iPhone 5c.  I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
    First, I recommend using the steps in the section titled “Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article (the article title refers to the iTunes Store, but the steps are relevant for the App Store as well):
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    If the issue persists after following the steps in that section, I recommend continuing with the steps in the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the article below:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can I make Photoshop Elements import files after it gives incorrect error code?

    I had 17,000 photos on my hard drive well organized in folders before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. I was able to get it to import only 467 into the catalog. I tried browsing, searching, selecting files and no matter what I did to bring inthe remainders (including trying to bring in folders with only 60-80 in each, moving files into new folders, etc.) and still can't see them in the organizer view. It allows me to highlight the folders or highlight the photo jpg files separately, says it is getting media, but then comes back with message that "files are not in correct format or are in the catalog" but they ARE in normal format jpeg, can view in other programs, and they are NOT visible in the catalog. Very frustrating, especially after wasting hours downloading the program from Amazon Marketplace - took hours, then had errors and had to redo twice. Running WIN 7 on 6 month old Sony computer with 8 GB RAM and quad processors. Thanks for any help.

    You should try posting in the PhotoShop Elements forum, especially if no one else here has a better suggestion to offer.  It is possible someone else has encountered the same problem and you could search there to see.  If you post there and you do have an error message, you should include the details of that error message.

    Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Newbie Alert: How can I include a JSF in a JSF

  • Xsl:include and xml:import

    I want to use another stylesheet within the original one.
    the documentation just said how to declare an
    xsl:include or xsl:import element as top level, but no examples about how to call the imported or included stylesheet.
    I'll appreciate any examples you can provide to me .
    Thanks
    Chris

    I've done this, and the way i think about it is that each "imported" XSL document combines (or are appended) into the XSL document that imports the other XSL documents. As such, all of the template matching that is occuring has to be consistent with the way the XML tags are matching up with XSL templates.
    It is important that the templates in each imported XSL document will match up to the XML tags that the templates are designed to transform.
    In other words, if i have an employee list <emp>, and an XSL template matching the <emp> element, i can produce a transformation on the list itself. now, i can define a transformation for a child element of <emp> by "importing" the XSL document that defines the template match for the child element (for example, "emp/lastName" can be what the second XSL document matches on).
    Long story short, if you can paste the imported XSL into the importing XSL and things still work, then you can separate them out into multiple modular XSL files for inclusion.

  • How to import photos into LR4 that LR states have already been imported.

    LR4 in import mode shows photo files that it has labeled with a leading "_" in a muted format and states they have already been imported and will not allow importing. I have been unable to locate them by file name or date in LR or using file searches. How can I find and/or import them? Do I have to rename all the files by deleting the leading _ in the file name?
    Thanks

    Duplicate file detection is based on more than just file name. Duplicate file names are allowed in your catalog. You can try turning off the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" (under the File Handling roll-out on the right panel of the Import dialog window) and see what that does for you. As to finding the files that these are (potentially) duplicates of, it's hard to say. Name and date are some of the easier ways of doing it. What folder it got imported into may be another. If you've been using keywords and/or Collections, this may help as well.
