LR5 - Develop Adjustments - History

I noticed a odd behavior with regard photos imported em February 2013 with previous version or LR4:
photos already adjusted have a new history step line: "From Metadata";
photos not yet adjusted have the new history step line "Reset Settings" after the "import (dd-mm-yy hh:mm:ss)".
Can anyone tell me why this procedure.
Thanks for your help.

There is something very buggy about this whole thing. In addition to what Cor notes above, after all of my history steps are removed by lightroom and I am left with the two lines Cor mentions, if I hit "\" then the image appears as it did BEFORE history steps were deleted except for any crop info. But I cannot due anything with this version. So I go to Cor's line 1 which immediately sjumps me to line 2 as he points out. Then I do an update to current process (2003-2012) , begin processing the image, but then want to look at image as I imported it, so click on line 1 and ZAP all my history steps are erased and I am back to 2003 process at import time. If I click instead on Cor's line 2, it shows image at import but does not delete my processing steps. What gives here???

"Photo has Develop adjustments" when none made

Hello,
I am importing a JPG photo into Lightroom 5.4.
In the Import screen, in the "Apply During Import" section, both the "Develop Settings" and the "Metadata" fields are set to "None".
Yet, as the import process progresses, I see the correct thumbnail being changed as develop adjustments take place automatically (cropping and turning the colour image into black and white, at least that's all I notice). Why does this happen and how can I prevent it from happening?
I assume the instructions are embedded in the JPG file, which I created in Photoshop (and saved as both PSD and JPG), since it happens in two Lightroom installations, one on the Mac and one on Windows 7 (brand new installation). When I switch to the Develop module, the only step in history is the import.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Gabor

Yet, as the import process progresses, I see the correct thumbnail being changed as develop adjustments take place automatically (cropping and turning the colour image into black and white, at least that's all I notice). Why does this happen and how can I prevent it from happening?
Initially, Lightroom is showing you the RAW file's embedded JPG preview, which has all in-camera adjustments applied.
When it changes, you get a completely unadjusted RAW photo, none of the in-camera adjustments are applied. It is then up to you to edit the photo to make it look the way you want.
There is no way to prevent this from happening in Lightroom.
If you really like the initial view, then you might want to shoot JPG instead of RAW; or alternatively learn to use Lightroom to produce photos that might have superior image quality to the JPG. You can, if you want, develop your own Lightroom presets that can be applied either globally or individually to enhance your photos.
I disagree that the initial view you see is "correct" (your word) as there are an infinite number of renderings of this image, it is not reasonable to say that one is "correct"; the JPG view is still edited in various ways by the in-camera algorithm, there is nothing sacred or correct about the in-camera algorithm.

How can I create a new catalog of all my photos with no develop adjustments?

I use Lightroom 4.3. I tried this by deleting the old catalog, and creating a new one, thinking that the develop adjustments would no longer exist after first deleting the old catalog. The develop adjustments were still there. (I deleted the catalog out of the lightroom sub-folder of My Pictures.)
The reason that I want to do this is that I have one folder (of about 800 important photos) where something went very wrong in Lightroom, and every time I try to pull up one of the photos my whole computer stalls. Everything works beautifully in my other folders. I even re-installed Lightroom. I want to re-add those dng photos without the develop adjustments. It doesn't bother me if none of my files have develop adjustments. I save all of my files after they are adjusted. I save the DNGs also.
Thanks,
Jennifer

One easy way: reset after importing (which can be done from library module - e.g. main menu, context menu, quick-develop...). If you can't even get that far, consider using exiftool to strip the xmp from DNGs and/or jpegs, or just delete xmp sidecar file in case of proprietary raw.

How do you filter for photos with develop adjustments?

I wanted to put this information out there, because it was difficult for me to find an answer to the question of "how do you quickly filter for photos that have develop adjustments?"
Some earlier posts in this forum observe that a smart collection has the ability to filter files wherein "has adjustments" is "true." Yes, it can do that. And it can also add in a "date" parameter for more specific targeting. But it cannot simply say, "in the current folder," or "in the selected folder." And frankly, that's the exact situation when I need to filter down to the files I want: I'm in a folder—typically the current folder that I've just imported—and I've done a smattering of develop adjustments. Now, I want to quickly select just those images for export. Can't be done, not with a Smart Collection, anyway.
But Lightroom is nothing if not deep, and if you approach the problem from a filtering standpoint, it will eventually get you there—but the solution is very non-obvious. Expose the filter bar, with your favorite preset: camera info, default columns... it doesn't really matter. Hover over the header bar and to the far right will become visible the "add column" widget. Add a column. From the pop-up menu on the name will come a long list of options, the second-to-last of which is "develop preset." Once that's in place, click on "custom." Save your current settings as a new preset and give it a descriptive name like "adjusted images."
Now, when you're in your current—or any—folder, just click on "metadata" in the filter bar, and your custom preset will be in effect: any images that you've worked on will be selected. It's a fast, one-click selection.
If there's another way of doing this (keep in mind it's for the selected or current folder only), let me know. It's such a seemingly desirable action that I'm kind of astounded there's no built-in or easy or obvious way to do it... or that no photographer has requested it.

I am honored to have a response from Rikk "MVP" Flohr, and I do readily agree that your approach is one way to approach the issue. It puts the relevant images in a discrete area that is easy to access. However (this is where I look a gift horse in the mouth) I find "sorts" a bit underwhelming in comparison to "filtering." Two problems: first, the sort still does not 'clear your deck' of unwanted images. You still have to squint at the badges and carefully select the range at the top (or bottom). Mistakes can be made (and I would be the first to make them). Second, the sort command is "sticky," meaning that folder will always have that sort unless you undo it. In general, I think most photographers want to see a folder's images sorted by capture time, so they can easily glance to the beginning, middle, and end of the shoot. With my method, once you click out of the folder, the filter is taken away and you're back to normal.
I do understand that Lightroom wants me to flag my images with rankings or stars or colors or dancing beavers or what-have-you. But in this particular situation, that's an extra step. If I've applied development adjustments, it's already done. Why shouldn't I be able to choose "Select Developed Photos" from the Edit menu, right under "Select Flagged Photos"?

Red splotches on photos in LR5 Develop Module

I get red and blue splotches on photos in LR5 Develop Module. Seems to be mainly in bright areas of photos. Not there in Library module. I noticed this in the Beta as well but thought it would be fixed before release. In LR4.4 everything is fine.

Turn the clipping indicators off in the Histogram in the develop module. The are the little triangles in the upper left and right corners of the histogram.

Save metadata to file + Edit in PS = Reset develop adjustments?

Hello:
I don't know if this issue has been raised before, since it's not easy to describe it and, hence, to perform a search based on it. I would like to know if this is a bug or there is some reason for it which I haven't think of yet.
Let me explain... I use LR 3.3 to develop a raw file as usual. Ok. Then I do "Edit in PS" to perform some pixel edition, then back to Lr. Next, I apply some LR adjustments to the resulting file (PSD or TIFF, depending on the preferences) that I just edited in PS. So far, everything's fine: I can keep going back and forth between PS and LR without trouble...
... but if I save metadata to file (control+S), and then try to edit the PSD/TIFF as "original" in PS, guess what: the file opens in PS with the LR adjustments not visible (this is normal), but simultaneously, the develop settings for the file are reset in Lightroom! So, to summarize:
1) I develop a raw file using LR adjustments
2) I edit in PS and save as PSD (or tiff, depending on the preferences)
3) Back in LR, i apply some develop adjustments to the new PSD/TIFF file.
4) I save metadata to file and choose "edit in PS as original"
5) The file opens in PS, but the settings for the file are reset in LR!
This doesn't happen if I uncheck the "Include develop settings in metadata in jpg, tiff and psd files" in the Metadata tab of the Catalog preferences.
I could record a video (screencast) if the explanation is not clear enough. Thanks in advance for your answers!

I have recorded a screencast. For some reason, now I can't make it happen the first time around - I have had to do it twice this time (save metadata to psd file, edit in Ps, close Ps, save metadata to psd file, edit in Ps).
I won't go into details since I think the video is pretty self explanatory. I know it's not usual to save metadata to file (including develop settings) just before editing in PS, but... is this normal, expected behavior? Am I doing something wrong without noticing? Same thing happen both in my desktop PC (Win 7 64, LR 3.3, CS5 64) and my laptop (Vista 32, LR 3.3, CS5 32).
Thanks for your help.

Lost LR5 Develop presets

When I downloaded LR5, I deleted some of the LR5 develop presets. How can I retrieve them or do I have to re-download LR5 again, and if I do that, do I lose any work I have done in LR5?

LR 5 presets from Adobe are built-in so cannot be removed. User-created (like ones you made or downloaded or purchased from a third party) can be deleted. Which type of preset are you referring to?
One special circumstance with LR is that you can store the presets with the catalog or not, and depending on what that preference is set to, your presets may just be in the other location if it was set differently when you created your presets.
Give an example of what presets you feel you’ve deleted and want back?

Lightroom 4-not retaining develop adjustments when I move to photoshop

I have used lightroom for years-never had this issue. I am using a Pc with WIndows 8. Recently had hard drive crash so only just reinstalled lightroom in last few weeks but all was working fine until last few days. First it just wouldn't open a file I wanted in Photoshop at all. Just got stuck/ignored request. When I closed program it would not reopen progam unless I rebooted computer. Now it will take any photo into photoshop when I click photo-edit in Photoshop 5.1 but it opens the version of the file with no develop adjustments at all! It will retain a crop if I make one but that is it! Don't recall changing anything that would cause this.

That was it! They were not in the same color space. I had to change my preferences in Lightroom under the External Editing tab and then on the "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6" section to match the other photos color space, which as sRGB. I had my preference on ProPhoto RGB.
So for those looking for the same answer, I will make it clear for you.
    In lightroom click on "Edit" on the top left...
    then click on "Preferences" (or hot key Ctrl + ,)
    click on the "External Editing" tab......
    then on the top of the panel you will see the "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6" section.
    Adjust the color space to the same color space of the other picture. (you can see that info in Photoshop on the top tab of the file).
    The bit rate did not matter for me. I was able to see the lightroom adjustments copied with both the 8bit and 16bit when the file I was copying to was only 8bit. So you only need to change the color space.......most likely it will be sRGB.
Thank you c.pfaffenbichler.

Import SQL Developer xml History files to a table

I'd like to import my SQL Developer xml history files into an Oracle table. What's the best way to do this?

I had some success in Pages 1, but I've only tried a couple of times so far in Pages 2 without success. The trick was to make sure the table is the exact number of columns wide. It's very "klunky" but I've ended up converting the tab-delimited text to a table in AppleWorks, saving the AppleWorks file with the table as a "floating" object (fixed objects don't translate) & opening the file in Pages. It's quicker & easier for most of what I do to just drag & drop in Pages.

Sort by Develop Adjustments

I would like to be able to sort a set of photos by those that have Develop Adjustments and those that do not. Is this easily done? For now, I don't want to sort by the type of adjustment.....just whether or not an image has one.
Thanks

I was aware of the +- badge but didn't know about the smart collection "Un-Edited." However, I do not see that "Un-Edited" smart collection. There is a "Without Keywords" smart collection. Is there a way to turn on/off these default ones? I do have LR 4.0.
Thanks
P.S......by the way, about my question yesterday or the day before concerning my mismatch between my laptop Catalog settings and my desktop settings.....I didn't realize I had created so many HDR files on my laptop, along with their corresponding adjustment settings. I was originally going to just forget about these and redo them on my desktop. However, because there are so many, I think I'm just going to have to Export all of them on my laptop with the settings and reimport into my Desktop LR. I'll just have to wait for my backup system to go through its paces and be patient while it does!

Filter on "Photo has Develop adjustments" flag?

Is there any way to filter on the "Photo has Develop adjustments" flag? I can't find it, but the filtering capability seems a bit opaque to me so maybe I'm just missing it.

Mike, once you're in the smart collection, you can then filter further by using the filter bar in grid view (if it's missing, hit the '\' key). You can type the directory name in the text filter. If you have directories with similar names, I saw a post from Dirk Jan de Ridder that shows how to search for exact words:
Try
+Fall+ (finds all photos containing the exact word 'fall')
+Fall (all photos starting with 'fall')
Fall+ (all photos ending with 'fall')

Find Photos with Development Adjustments

Let's say I have 100 photos in my folder/collection/whatever.
But only 2 have any Development Adjustments applied - the other 98 are untouched.
Is there any way in Lightroom to perform a Find / Filter / something so that only the 2 modified photos are shown?

The reason I ask is that I'm importing JPGs. They, of course, end up in separate folders. Most of them are fine, but a few need tweaking.
This might happen over the course of a month.
So at the end of the month, I might have 15 directories - mostly original JPGs but a few edited.
In order to upload my pics to Snapfish, I have to "export" the modified JPGs to a new JPG, but only *copy* the unmodified.
If I forget to export the modified JPGs, when I upload I'll be copying the original JPG sans LR edits, hence my need for a quick and foolproof way of finding altered JPGs.

SQL Developer SQL History no longer working 3.2.20.09.87

Hi guys, The SQL History (F8) option has started to no longer work within my copy of OSD.
it was working at one point but has gone away.
I have confirmed that "Enable Local History" is enabled and has been set for 30 days history and 50 max revisions
I have confirmed that I still have a SqlHistory.xml file located in my user\operator\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\ directory with entries in it (6933 rows of data)
This started to happen after I started to play with the Garbage Collection settings to reduce the memory footprint of OSD.
I have since restored all of my backed up delivered settings, rebooted and the SQL History will not show up again.
My snippets and custom reports are working and I can still see the log detail where I used to see log and sql history options at the bottom of OSD.
I'm using Windows 7 and can provide an OSD dump if it helps.
Thanks...
Tom

Hi Tom,
Be careful about which preference settings relate to the functionality in question.
1. Tools > Preferences > Environment > Local History > Enable relates to a worksheet's History tab when you File > Open
2. Tools > Preferences > Database > Worksheet > SQL History Limit relates to View > SQL History pane.
You do not say how you backed up and restored your settings during all your experimentation, but let's assume whatever you did was valid. Whenever some UI component mysteriously disappears, one thing I always check (usually just delete) is the windowinglayout.xml in system3.2.20.09.87\o.ide.11.1.1.4.37.59.48 of my user settings.
For example, I can use the SQL History pane's tab context menu to Float it, then adjust it's size by dragging it's edges down to a grey square a few pixels wide/high. Close SQL Developer, reopen, View > SQL History. Darn! Where did it go?
Hope this helps,
Gary

Remove a line from develop module history

Hi, is it possible to remove a line (and the action related to it) from the history of the develop module ?
As I explain in another thread, Lightroom reinit all my modification after a "Read metadata from file" and I want to remove this action.
Thank you !

Hi Booby,
You could use an XSL-mapping for this purpose:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
    <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Sorry, i didn't read that you dont want a map, if you dont find the adapter solution you can use this map
I've seen this option in the module adapter, but i dont test it:

View only images without develop adjustments

Hey guys!
Is there a way to use filters to view images that have not been adjusted in the develop module yet?
I've gone through all 5600 images from a project and made adjustments to them while it was in a manual sort view.
Now that my manual sort mode has moved them around again, i need to make sure I have made adjustments to ALL of my images.
So I'll looking for the drop down filter menu that allows to to check box "develop adjusted" or "unadjusted"....
Does this make sense?
Thanks
