Missing original filename after export to photoshop

Hi
using the export function to edit a file in photoshop (german "bearbeiten in Photoshop") generates a new file, but without the original filename.
Example:
Export "my picture 234.nef" as a tiff to photoshop generates a file called "-bearbeitet_1.tif" (german "bearbeitet" = "edited") . "my picture 234" is gone.
I tried to manipulate a token in "Lightroom 2 Preferences.agprefs" which looks odd, but afterwords lightroom 2 would not start anymore saying something like i have a bad lightroom catalog.
Any thoughts?
Cheers, dietmar

In LR "Preferences, External Editing", how is the file naming template at the bottom of the dialog set up? This determines how the edited files are named. Sounds like yours might be set to something that doesn't include the original filename.

How to see original photo after exporting to photoshop

Hello,
When making adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom I know you can use the "\" key to see the before image. However, when I export to photoshop it saves a second image back into Lightroom.
When looking at this new image is there a way to flip back and forth with the original RAW??
Thanks
Scott

No, that isn't possible because the new image is a completely separate file. But there's nothing preventing you from using the arrow keys in Lightroom to move back and forth between the two images. Or, you can highlight the two images and press the letter C to compare the two images side-by-side.

Finding original filename from exported renamed jpeg

Typically I import over 1,000 images from a job into a project.
I edit and export around 500 final images as jpegs renamed sequentially for my client.
My client asks for say a colour version of a particular black & white image but the file info on my clients image does not contain any reference to the original filename.
Is there any way to include the original filename in exif data when exporting the images from Aperture?

There's a simpler method which you might consider using.
What file naming convention are you using on import? Why not rename your camera files on import into Aperture something like " dateclient_joboriginalfilename ". You could then either use that, or export with that name plus a sequential numbering scheme.
Or -- the same as Viren's excellent suggestion -- select all the files you are going to export, create duplicate versions, with the duplicates still selected create a new Album containing all of them, then use Aperture to rename the Versions prior to export and export using the Version name. Versions don't use much space (they are text files), and you end up with an Album of neatly numbered Versions of just the photos you've given to your client +with the file names of their files exactly the same as your Aperture Version names+.

Missing original files after attempting to move all files to external drive

After reading numerous threads regarding iTunes not being able to locate the original file after moving it to an external drive, I'm in a slightly different boat since most seem to be able to "locate" their original music. It appears the order in which this is done is particularly important and I suspect this is where I screwed up. I posted this earlier in response to another thread mistakenly under iTunes for Windows, but now I'm realizing where I may have made my main mistake.
Over a year ago, I had moved my iTunes folder from my Music folder from the HD to my 250 GB external drive. I did not rename it. Kept it the same name. Went into the Advanced folder in iTunes Preferences and chose to use the external drive as my source for music and everything worked fine. Don't remember consolidating and it appears based on the way that I did it, I may not have had to.
Recently I found a folder in my Music folder on the Mac's HD titled iTunes and assumed this was holding the original files and that my iTunes wasn't actually running from my external drive at all, but that it had been using the HD on the Mac the whole time (didn't realize that it kept a copy there). So, I took that file and moved it to the external drive. Not sure if I "replaced" it or "deleted" the old one on the external drive (it was late and it was a few days ago). Now I'm realizing that I probably took out my true original files as now all that is there is about 16 music files under "iTunes Music". I tried consolidating and this didn't make any difference since it just consolidated all of the same files. If I open iTunes and hold the option key down that doesn't make any difference either since it still can't find the originals.
Now that I realize what I've done, thinking back I should have been more surprised that it was only 1.3GB of music when really my library is closer to 40 GB. I've just lost a lot of music. Is there anyway to retrieve the rest of the original library or am I cooked?
Many thanks for any help.

Missing MSVRC110.dll after installation of Photoshop

I've installed Photoshop and the MSVCR110.DLL is missing. I am unable to install the app (system says another app is trying to uninstall it). I could not locate a repair or reinstall option.

MSVCR110.dll is a part of Microsoft Visual C++ and is required to run programs developed with Visual C++. So you need VS C++ 2012. Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
The redistributable can easily be downloaded on the Microsoft website as x86 or x64 edition. Depending on the software you wish to install you need to install either the 32 bit or the 64 bit version.

Audio missing in FCP after export

Hi
So I have an audio track in FCP which I sent to STP and added a limiter and reduce noise filter to. Saving it and going back to FCP I notice that 2 seconds are missing from the end of the audio.
I sent the referenced clip with no handles.
Now my sound is out of sync.
Thanks
Joe

Did you do a Send to a Multitrack Project?
STP expects to see 48k audio coming from FCP and send aiff 48k back as an exported file.

Lightroom disappears after export to Photoshop

Am working with Lightroom 2.0 on a PowerMac G5, 4 g RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 XT, OS 10.5.4. Each time I send an image out from Lightroom for editing in Photoshop, do a SAVE in PSCS3 and try to return to Lightroom, the browser window is gone and I can't get it back. I have to quit and restart LR to get my content view(s) back. Only the Lightroom menu bar shows. Did not see this problem in LR 1x or in LR 2 beta.

I too have this problem and i had it before in 4.0 or 4.3. Now that i have upgraded to 4.4 i have the same problem and i was too looking for the solution. I found a work around which is only a couple of steps instead of just hitting Command and E to send to photoshop.
Just right click in the image you are working on and then select Edit in and you will see photoshop but dont select it, click on Select Program or Open with (cannot remember what it is) and then select your version of photoshop. Once this is done, on your next image just do the same steps, right click on image, edit in and select the second Photoshop in the menu and it will open just fine.
I know its not a fix but its a work around. You can also do a clean install of 4.4 and i think that should fix it. (pain in the *** which i havent done and probably wont do for a while since i cant have lightroom down.
Hope this helps.

Missing control knobs after exporting project from iPad to Macbook

Hi, I recently purchased a macbook pro and started using GarageBand on it. I have GarageBand projects on my iPad and I already managed to export them via iTunes and I can access them on my Mac. But, I am having problems with reaching the same control settings (control knobs) for keyboards that I had on iPad. For example I recorded something with the software instrument Sabertooth which had an "LFO rate" knob (pot meter) in the iPad's version of Garageband but it seems like I only can reach different type of control knob setting in the Macbook's version of Garagaband. Have you met this problem or could you tell me if it is possible to reach and modify the same parameters that I had in GarageBand on the iPad? I would appreciate any kind of help. Thank you.

I went to the Apple Genius Bar at my local Apple store. They gave me the solution. In case anyone else encounters this situation, plug the iPad into the iMac, Click on the iPad device manager in iTunes, click on the apps tab, under the filesharing section click on iMovie app, and when the movies wanting to be deleted appears there, select them all and hit the delete key. There are no instructions on the screen to show this. The only options the screen shows is add to or save as. But the delete key does work and frees up the space of the iPad itself.

Missing characteristics value after exporting to excel

Hi
I created a web template with WAD 7.0 that is using a button with Export to Excel functionality.
The issue i have is that if I export to Excel, I don't see the characteristics/filter values e.g
Cal. year / quar
Company Code
Fiscal year/period
Vendor
Vendor Account Group
Structure
It displays only the data.
How do I get these characteristic values do display in excel.
thanks

Hi,
thanks for your response. I have checked and couldn't find options for select Analysis grid or Filter grid.
In the button, I used command * Export web application* and in the parameters I could find anything close to choosing the options you mentioned.
thanks

Color change after exporting from Lightroom

I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
Here is the original.
After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me. Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
>Can you upload a sample of each
>* Raw File
>* XMP Sidecar
>* Exported JPEG
I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
Thanks!

Can I get back the original filename even though the file is missing

I imported 900 RAW images from my desktop into Lightroom, edited them, renamed the filename, and exported them into JPGs. Since I no longer needed the RAW images on my desktop I moved them over to an external hard drive. So now the images are still visible in my Lightroom catalog, but there is no photo to back it up since I moved the original files to the external hard drive. After realizing that I exported the images at 150 dpi instead of 300 dpi I need to re-export the images from lightroon at the proper resolution. But since I moved the originals to the external hard drive there is no photo to back it up in lightroom anymore. So I went to locate the files by clicking on the "?" but since I renamed the file when I exported them, the original filename on the external hard drive is now different from the filename in the catalog. Is the only solution to locate the file one by one? Is there any way I can do them all at once even though the original filename is different from the filename in my lightoom catalog? The original filename is still listed in the metadata, but since the originals are missing it can't change it back. Please help!

It sounds as though you moved the files and renamed them outside of Lightroom. Not a good idea. I'm not really going to answer the question about retrieving the files. But if your only concern is the resolution then I wouldn't concern myself about changing the images. That resolution setting really has no impact or effect of any kind on your images. It doesn't change the size, or the quality at all. If you have an image that is 2000x3000 pixels (for instance) it will be that same size regardless of what the resolution setting is. The only real value that setting has is to give another user an indication of the intent for the image. When you look at an image in Photoshop and look at the image size feature, Photoshop will tell you the dimensions of the image at that resolution, but that doesn't change anything about the image.

BUG: LR2.0 shows duplicate drive after edit in photoshop export

Lightroom 2.0 shows a new duplicate drive after edit in photoshop export. file opens as DNG in photoshop, saves as PSD, and saves to the right folder on the hard drive. But lightroom now shows 2 "drive G"'s(that's my image vault drive letter) The folders are correct, the second drive only contains the edited psd files. display in explorer shows the file in the right location with the original DNG file. This is a random event not every edited file displays under the second drive. I have a total of 6 files (I had more, but I moved my image vault to a new drive and fixed the ten I had at that time.)
Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1
AMD 64X2 duel core 6000+ 3Ghz
6GB 666mhz Ram PAE force enabled
NVIDIA Gforce 7600 256MB video card (1.75GB total with system shared ram)
Primary hard drive: 500GB
Hard drive 2: 400GB (system and photoshop paging files and lightroom catalog drive)
Hdrive 3: 1TB (primary image storage)
user control turned off
system graphics set to performance
Duel display
Lightroom 2.0
photoshop CS3

No I had to do it manually. When I had lightroom 2, here's what would happen.
1. My external drive would show up, but all the photos would be marked as missing.
2. I would then relocate the photos, which I had do do directory by directory. At this time I did not have all of them under a master directory.
3. As I relocated them, the second drive would show up, which would contain all my directories as I located them.
4. After I had relocated all the directories, I would delete the now empty duplicate - which has been the original - drive.
5. After I shut down LR and restarted, the whole process would begin again.
6. After I installed 2.1, I put all my directories under a parent directory, relocated the parent, it found all the files, automatically deleted the ghost duplicate, and I have not had the problem since.
Hope all this makes sense,
Good luck

How to export file with original filename number suffix, but with more digits

Is there a way to keep the original filename number suffix, but change the formatting of the number, adding leading zeros for instance?
When I import photos from my camera I like to rename them, and give them sequential numbers, e.g. "2015-01 Hamburg 1.cr2", "2015-01 Hamburg 2.cr2", "2015-01 Hamburg 10.cr2", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.cr2", and so on.
Normally when I export photos I like to keep the file names exacly as I imported them (except the extension) e.g. 2015-01 Hamburg 1.jpg, "2015-01 Hamburg 2.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 10.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg".
But sometimes I would like to export them with leading zeros, typically when adding photos to a web site or blog where there are sort mechanisms that only support simple sort algorithms based on file names, meaning the sort order of my photos with their original file names would become "2015-01 Hamburg 1.jpg, "2015-01 Hamburg 10.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 2.jpg".
So I would like the file names to be "2015-01 Hamburg 001.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 002.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 010.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg".
By keeping the original file number suffix I can easily go back to the original file whenever I need to, and the sort order would work even with simple sorting.
The export Filename Template Editor gives quite advanced support for numbering files when exporting, see attached screenshot. There's support for exporting files with custom file names, and adding sequence, total and image number with padding (up to 9999/####). But those add new numbers, they do not consider the original filename number suffix. If I use the "Image # (001)" for instance, my example above would export as "2015-01 Hamburg 001.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 002.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 003.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 004.jpg", if those were the four photos I wanted to export, making it hard for me to trace them back to the original photo.
I have found no way of adding such padding on the original file number.
Does anyone know if this is possible or have suggestions for a workaround?
It shouldn't be too hard for Adobe to support this I'd imagine.
export pattern rename files file_number filename_template_editor

I do not know if you can do what you explained above, but there is a workaround to this (and a way to avoid having to do it in the future):
In the Library module, make sure your images are sorted by Capture Date (this will put them in the right order, even with suffixes like 1, 13, etc.)
Select all images, and then Rename them, using a Custom text followed by a Sequence number. The Custom text in this case should be the original name (such as, 2015-01 Hamburg, as in your example). Make sure the Sequence number is formatted with enough zeroes to include all the numbers in your images.
In the future, when you rename images during Import, make sure you select the Sequence number format that will include all the needed zeroes, so you don't have to go through this again.
