MAJOR Lightroom problem (blue on every image)

The image above says it all, EVERYTHING is blue in my whole catalog. Not a preset, I tried loading my backups to no avail. How do I fix this?
The original images are of course without any issues. It seems to only show the blue channel but have no clue how I revert back to normal view....please help me and thank you for your time

Your image requires a member login to the Lightroom Forums which I am not a member, but from your description it sounds as though you have the shadow-clipping overlay turned on.   There is also a red highlight clipping overlay that is red.
One way to turn the clipping warnings on and off is by clicking on the little triangles at the left (shadow) and right (highlight) ends of the histogram at the top of the righthand panel.  The J key is a shortcut for turning these on and off and perhaps that was pressed inadvertently.

  • Major Lightroom problems

    I am desperate to find a solution. I was importing photos into lightroom and during the process the entire computer froze. I restarted the computer to only have it get put in to recovery mode. After a dozen attempts to get it going again I finally got Window to load correctly. I then backed up my catalog to an external hard drive. I then opened light room only to have it freeze the computer and start the whole process of multiple restarts to get it working again.  I decided to uninstall the program and re install it as thats usually the fix to a problem like this. But it has only made the problem worse.
    Now the problem is the new installed lightroom is still not working, and now lightroom won't let windows uninstall the program, and with it installed it won't re install or change/repair the program.
    I don't know what to do now. I have a bad program that won't let me remove it, and I can't repair it. I need some help (Prefered over the PHONE!) to get this fixed. I just bought lightroom 5 two weeks ago so I should be able to get phone or at the very least chat support.
    This is a major problem, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    No error messages when I start it. Currently it wont even open, it just doesn't do anything. Literally I click on the icon and nothing happens. When I try to reinstall/fix it this is the error message.

  • I am having problems opening images renerated in lightroom5 into cs6. Cs6 bridge does not see the lightroom libarary. If I open lightroom and right clik the image, edit in cs6, 6 opens but the picture doesnot follow. What is going on? Give me a hand.

    What edition of LR 5? What edition of ACR does PSCS 6 contain. If they are not parallel (same edition number x in [5 or 8].x ), is LR making a tiff or psd rendition of the image?

    I use a mac ios and shoot raw in a cannon 5d mark ii and shortly upon import of my images lightroom darkens and changes my images. This has happened before but not every time. The strange part is my last shoot had the same camera setting but this did not happen. The images i have now i can not use after lightroom has automatically altered them even if i try editing back to how they looked upon import

    First thing to do is to change the default camera profile applied in Lightroom to camera standard (assuming that you shoot Canon or Nikon). Also make sure that your camera is NOT set up to use any of the HDR modes. Nikon calls those Active Dynamic Lighting. On Canons you often see things like highlight priority mode or "Auto Lighting Optimizer". Make sure that the picture style is set to standard and that for newer Canons the HDR mode is turned off. Most of the HDR modes simply underexpose the image and then add an instruction in the raw file to compensate for this to prevent highlights from being blown out. This causes more noise in the shadows and if you know what you are doing there is no point to this as you should simply expose correctly and get the highest quality raw.
    Lastly, make sure that in Lightroom you have not checked "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" in Preferences->Presets. This should make the default rendering of the raw files the same as the in-camera jpeg (what the camera shows on the back even if you shoot raw) but still give you all the latitude of raw files.

  • Every image I have edited since upgrading to Lightroom 5 has been corrupted.

    Every image I have edited since upgrading to Lightroom 5 has been corrupted. First I was shooting in RAW and there was an issuw with my operating system. I upgraded to Maverick and it was supposedly fixed. Then there was an issue because LR didn't work with my camera (Nikon D90) and an update supposedly fixed that. So I finally started shooting JPEGs to try to avoid the RAW issue altogether... Now even the JPEGs say they are corrupted. I am at my wits end! Somebody please help me figure out why I can't seem to do ANYTHING anymore!

    >When I go to the files in finder, the corrupted NEFs are not able to be
    seen, but the corrupted JPEGs are!
    They don't open or do you get a blank screen when you try to open them or
    do the files not have icons? It's a good sign that your jpegs are visible
    though. That does make me think the preview database or catalog in
    Lightroom is screwed up.
    >When I try to plug the camera into the computer with a USB cord it doesn't
    recognize it
    What happens when you plug the camera in turn it on and select import
    photos in Lightroom? You should get to see the images on the camera. Try
    different USB cables if it doesn't work. Also try changing the USB mode on
    your camera. I think the old Nikons had a setting to change between PtP and
    Mass storage mode. Just changing it might make it work. This all does smell
    a little like the USB ports are bad on the computer something they should
    be able to diagnose at the Apple Store but you might want to ask about.

  • Metadata conflict on Mac for every image

    I have recently installed 2.0 on a iMAC having previously been running 1.3.
    When I migrated the catalog file all the metadata is there ok but eventually the metadata conflict badge appears on every image prior to early 2007 and the metadata status says "conflict detected" as the previews are created.
    I have never used any sidecar files so there are no XMPs anywhere. If I click on the error symbol I don't want either choice - "import settngs" destroys the metadata I have and "overwrite" creates a new XMP file which I don't want.
    I don't have any problems creating virtual copies so this is not the same as the metadata problem that (I think) is now common knowledge on PC platforms.
    I tried deleting the 2.0 catalog upgrading the 1.3 software to 1.4 and doing another catalog migration to 2.0 with the same result.
    Also tried moving the catalog folders to outside the directory where the photos are with no change either.
    There are 15,000 images or so the vast majority of which are raw but the problem occurs whether they are jpg or canon Raw.
    In practice the error doesn't actually seem to mean anything or cause any problems but clearly something is not right.
    Ian

    Ian - A timestamp issue? Perhaps LR thinks the timestamp of those photos is now different than it
    thought prior to LR2? This is pure conjecture but I base this theory on two things:
    - LR2 now correctly handles timestamps where LR1 had well known bugs. So there may be a change here
    that affects you.
    - I've seen many pieces of software that choke on file timestamps when crossing a daylight savings
    time change. Anything that needs to compare two copies of the timestamps for the same file has to
    deal with this correctly and it's not necessarily trivial. I'm not saying LR2 doesn't handle this
    properly - just a thought.
    If it were me, I'd look at the timestamps in the XMP files and compare those to the times displayed
    in the LR2 GUI.

  • My Macbook Pro (15" early 2011) got blue screen every i normally booted it. It only can enter the OS when it's in safe boot. Solution please.

    My Macbook Pro (15" early 2011, Mountain Lion, but after reinstall i change it to snow leo) got blue screen every i normally booted it. It enter the OS only when it's in safe boot.
    I've tried any solution that i got from the internet, such as:
    -Reinstalling the OS X (normal install & clean install)
    -Reset PRAM and SMC
    -Repair Disk Permissions and Repair Disk from Disk Utility (the result is OK. There's no problem)
    -Repair Disk Permissions manually (with Command + S at the beginning of booting)
    -Checking Hardware from Application Installer DVD (result is OK)
    -Checking from Mac Resource Inspector/MRI (result OK)
    -Booting from Recovery Disk is same problem, blue screen
    All of that solution is not working. My Macbook still got light blue screen and sometimes blue screen with lines after apple logo and spinning wheel is shown.
    HDD is in good condition because when it's checked on the other macbook it can be booted. But if you must know, other HDD can't be booted when its plugged to my macbook (blue screen again). If i do safe booting, it works but can't play video and music also photobooth. I got confused with this case.
    Any solution or comment? Thank you very much by the way

    Hi. I'm not trying to rush things, you may have a different problem, but your issue looks quite familiar to me. I recently had a problem with the discrete graphics card (the Radeon GPU) due to overheating, all because a faulty application of the thermal compound in the factory.
    In my case, the problem started slowly and intermittently, a few days after a gaming session (Quake 3) of about three hours (at the moment, I didn't realized that could be linked to the problem).
    This issue is being actively discussed in another threads in this forum, but so far there's enough evidence that it's been causing similar problems for 2011 MBPs owners: screen corruption, black/blue screens, and in some cases, a total inability to boot. Some of the threads I'm talking about:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/13150366#13150366
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21110132#21110132
    So far, and since the problem seems to affect only the discrete GPU (that's why you can boot in safe mode) a possible solution is to disable it by removing some extensions which prevent OS X from loading the Radeon drivers. This post describing the process (there are different files involved depending of your GPU version, so make sure you are moving the right ones):
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22521574#22521574
    In the case your discrete GPU survived and is not permanently damaged, I personally had success by changing the thermal compound myself, which completely fixed the problem (at least for now). I've posted about it here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22630561#22630561
    I hope you can find a solution, believe me I know the feeling when you see your expensive machine turning into a brick and it *****.
    Good luck!

  • The images imported to my stage turn up as blank and render every image previous to the rogue imported image as red squares that fill the perimeters of the image which then renders the publishing and scene testing features in flash useless, what can i do

    I have been working on animating a scene in flash for a few weeks and recently I have encountered a problem with importing my images on to the stage where the images I import do not turn up, however the key frame that I attempted to import the image onto shows that it is occupied by an image and every frame previous to the key frame that just imported an image that does not show turns up as a red square that fills the original perimeters of the image, there is no solution to this problem any where on the forum and the adobe technical support staff will not help me find a solution to this problem what can I do to get Flash running normally again and fix this problem?????
    Also after the first time i publish a preview after i begin using flash, flash renders the publishing and scene testing features as useless and claims that there is no HTML template found, or if the images if i import any images onto the stage that come up blank and render every image previous to that image as a red square and then try and publish a preview  flash renders the publishing and scene testing features as useless and claims that there is no HTML template found. What can I do to fix this problem??? there is no solution on the web anywhere to this problem either.

    I don't know if Flash has a memory limit of its own. The memory for your Flash file is based on the available memory on your computer.
    There is a limit on the number of frames that you can have in any given timeline. I think that it's about 15000 frames, but that's a guess. Flash does all of its work at runtime, this means that no part of your animation is pre-compiled like it is in a video file. So the more objects that you have on the stage, the more work Flash has to do. It follows that the more objects that there are to animate, the more work your processor and the video card have to do.
    Here's a list of articles on memory management that might be useful:

  • Get rid of blue borders around images in links

    When you use an image as a link, a blue border surrounds the image like this:
    This is because since Dreamweaver CS3, Dreamweaver no longer inserts border="0" in the image (<img>) tag. Although some people will tell you to set the image border to zero in the Property inspector, this is NOT the correct way to do it. Use CSS instead.
    Create the following style rule, either in a <style> block in the <head> of the page, or preferably in an external style sheet:
    a img { border: none; }
    This automatically removes the blue border from ALL images that are used as links. If you use an external style sheet, and link it to all the pages in your site, the same rule affects every image link in your site. This is much more efficient than adding zero to the border property in each individual image.

    I must have been on the wrong page when I looked initially.
    @JohnJohnJohn,
    If you ever want to have a search engine index your site (so people can find you using Google and the like) you need to seriously reconsider what you're doing. Since your pages consist of a single image that is then mapped, there's nothing for the search engines to index in any meaningful way. Search engines rely on relevant, keyword rich, html text to give your site any kind of position in a viewer's search results. As far as the search engines are concerned, right now, your pages are blank.
    Also, as it stands now, anyone with a screen reader will get what amounts to a blank page, even if they do happen across your site somehow.
    Finally, the mailto links you are using won't do anything when clicked for any user who relies on browser based email clients (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc) because the mailto link activates email clients installed on the actual computer. If someone viewing your site without something like Outlook installed, clicking your mailto link does nothing. It's much, much better to use a form to email script (usually available from your hosting provider) to allow users to contact you no matter how their email is set up.

  • I can't view video on imported clips on FCPX, it shows blue instead of image

    I can't view video on my imported clips on FCPX, it shows blue instead of image on the clip. I can hear sound but no video. What is the problem. I wish someone can help me on this issue? Thanks.

    The camera is Sony Handycam HDR-CX550. I used the internal hard disc to record. I can's use MTS clips if it is recorded on the internal hard disc. I converted clips into MOV, MP4, and Final Cut formats, non of them worked on Final Cut Pro X. I tried to import the same clips on iMovie, it worked but super slow. MOV and MP4 formats used to work for FCPX, the only difference is I recorded the footage with HD 1920x1080.
    The clip I imported showed as a blue thing with two rectagle shapes on it. I can hear the sound, but no video. I also imported my old clips with sam format, it worked. I tried a lot of things, no use.
    By the way, what is spwecs?

  • Problem view TIFF multipage images with ECL Viewer 5.1.3

    Dear All,
    using the SAPGUI 710 and CV04N, I cannot view the same TIFF multipage image twice in ECL Viewer, the second time, the first time every thing is ok, but the second time the SAPGUI display the error : "File C:Docume1dupondLOCALS1TempZEP_0457895 cannot be created"
    To view again the TIFF mulitpage image, I need to kill the sapLogon.exe process and relaunch it again.
    It seams the TIFF image file is locked by the  the saplogon.exe process the first time and on the second time, SAP cannot rewrite the temporay TIFF image file. 
    Notes:
    - I use CV04N or CV03N to view the documents.
    - This problem doesn't happends with non multipage TIFF image.
    - Tested on more than 20 computers.
    - Computers are with Windows XP SP2 + SAP GUI 7.10 Compilation 2 + SP9 + SP12 +  - ECL Viewer 5.1.3 (integrated with Comp 2)
    How can I fix this problem ?
    Thank you for your help

  • Why has Lightroom 4 stopped displaying my images?

    I was scrolling through my image libary in thumbnail mode - quite fast as I was looking for certain groups of images to keyword them.  I had been doing this for some time and then suddenly it just stopped displaying the images - the thumbnails were just empty.  I thought they would render after a few seconds but they didn't.  I then scrolled back up and none of the images were being displayed.  Lightroom would then not close properly so I had to force quit.  Computer wouldn't shut down properly either - I assume Lightroom was still doing something in the background.  When I restarted the computer and opened Lightroom the same problem was the same - no images at all being displayed.  Everything seems fine on the hard drive when I look outside of Lightroom so the images are there, and all the folders are still in place in the Lightroom catalogue - just not displaying images.  Any ideas?

    Re-installing LR very rarely changes anything...
    Did you install some other software recently?
    Is your preferences file ok? ...just thinking of one *of the usual suspects*... [on Win7  C:\Users\<youruser>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs] ... you can rename the existing one and let LR recreate a new one.
    Recreating as suggested above would not mean your total catalog, but all your previews - if we suspect the previews folder of corruption.
    Speaking of usual suspects: try the last backups of your catalog, if they show the same behaviour? ...to rule out some corruption of your working catalog...
    You optimize your catalog regularly, e.g. before creating the backup? If not, you could also try that.
    If none of your catalogs works, then create a fresh test catalog and import a few images and render their previews, to see if it is actually your LR installation with the problem.
    Did you try LR4.3RC already? This might make more sense than re-installing an older version.
    Good luck, Cornelia

  • Problem creating a binarize image

    Hi,
    I have a problem creating a binarized image.
    I have an java.awt.Image from Twain (with the Morena Framework) I have to compressing with COMPRESSION_GROUP4. Before I must obtain a binarized RenderedImage.
    Before I have need of one single-band image.
    With this code I succeed to obtain a single-band image but for acquired images with 100 dpi resolution only and moreover images have inverted colors.
    How I can obtain single-band images with resolution larger than 100 dpi?
    public static RenderedImage binarizer(RenderedImage img){
            double[][] matrix = {{ 1.0 , 1.0 , 1.0 , 0.0}};
            ParameterBlock pb1 = new ParameterBlock();
            pb1.addSource(img);
            pb1.add(matrix);
            RenderedImage bandCombinedImage = JAI.create("bandcombine",pb1);
            RenderedImage binarizedImg = JAI.create("binarize", bandCombinedImage, new Double(1));
            return binarizedImg;
    //..

    OK it seems no one can help, so I'll try a different question;
    The reason I want to create an encrypted disk image is because I've been everywhere on the 'net' and cant find out how to password protect a folder on my Mac.
    This seems like something that should be very straight forward, but for the life of me I cant find what I'm looking for. Every post I read refers to creating an encrypted disk image, or playing with folder permissions - non of which actually achieve the desired result.
    Surely its not that hard create a folder that requires a password to be viewed??
