No images in Library grid view

Hi,
In V1.0, when I set my Library to grid view I only see my images for a short while. Then all images turn to grey squares. Updating the grid (like changing thumbnail size or sorting order) again shows images only for a short while.
Loupe and Compare view are ok.
Never had this with the Beta versions.
Is there a setting I need to change?
Thx,
Haya

  • Thumbnails not visible in Library Grid View

    In LR 1.0 on Mac OS X, after converting from Beta 4.1, my thumbnail images are not visible in the Library Grid View, except for just a brief moment when I first click on a Folder (Shoot) name. The images then disappear, leaving just the background.
    Double clicking on an image background brings up the image correctly in Loupe View.
    Did I miss something in the conversion?
    Many thanks!
    (Mac OS X 10.4.8, Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 6.5 RAM)

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem, (windows xp)
    Besides the thumbnails not being visible, when I open LR 1.0, it shows my folder structure as imported, with the number of files per folder, but right after that, the folder names start to gray out, and the number of pictures in each folder goes to "0" . The pictures are still there.
    For each keyword it shows 0 pictures, until I click on that keyword, then it shows the number of pictures for that keyword.
    I did uninstall 4.1, and deleted the database, I don't know if this is related to some left over Beta 4.1 somewhere in there.( my old identity plate still shows) I had no issues, other than being slow when using beta 4.1, I had only imported pictures on a as needed basis( in 4.1), and not the whole folder structure. ( as I want to do with LR 1.0 )
    Any solutions ? ( other than uninstall and trying to to a better job of cleaning up, before re installing ? )
    P.S. about 1000 files ( jpg,tiff,psd) did not get imported due to errors, but most of them were in my 4.1 library with no problems.
    P.S 2 the keywords were entered either in bridge or ID imager, and written back to the files, I never used beta 4.1 to enter keywords, just used it to search them.
    P.S 3 ( sorry this is getting too long...) it crashed on import 5 times, about 20,000 files, internal HD just for pics.
    thank you,

  • Why can't I see recently imported images in my grid view?

    I"m using Elements 12.  I recently imported new images and normally I can see the images in the grid view.  However, I cannot see these new images unless I click on each individual image to open the file.  All prior imported images are viewable in the grid view.

    No, that just shows the carrier. I am looking for the setting>general>carrier tab from where you can select the carrier you want to connect to either automatically or manually. The previous iPhone 5 had it, Apple exchanged the set as it had a hardware problem and it's missing from the new set. Want to get it back

  • Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

    I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view.  I cannot get it to work.
    Steps:
    1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
    2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
    3. Mouseup on the destination folder
    Results:
    Nothing happens.  The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow.  There is no indication I can drag and drop.  The photos are not moved.
    The photos are stored on a NAS.  Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons.  From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders.  I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive.  Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
    What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

    I created a new catalog.  Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
    I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS).  I've been at this for 3 hours.  I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy.  Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
    I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files.  Really strange.

  • Bug: thumbnails not displaying on library grid view

    Since using v1.0 the thumbnails will not display on the grid view (there is simply a grid of empty grey squares which can be clicked on). All beta versions worked fine. I started a new library with no improvement. All other screens work as expected. Using Windows XP SP2. Any ideas?

    joel, I'm experiencing the same issue - the thumbnails start to appear but once they get to the point where they would be fully loaded, they disappear. I used beta as well, and that worked perfectly fine. Just sent in a ticket to the customer support at adobe, hopefully they can help with a solution. I'm only running the trial version of lightroom.
    Where you able to figure out a solution?

  • Filenames in Library Grid view

    I use filenames of the form "YYYY-MM-DD xxx Description". In the grid view on landscape pictures I can see the sequence number (xxx) when the pictures are a reasonable size, but the filename shown is much shorter on the portrait orientation photos so I can't see the sequence number.
    Is there a way to get the filename to use the whole space available on portrait photos so we can see all or at least more of the filename?
    Regards
    Mike

    The only way I know is to use expanded cell view.

  • Smooth scrolling in Library (grid view)

    The scrolling has been greatly improved in grid view. It feels not slugginsh anymore (I do have one of the latest iMac + SSD) at rendering the thumbnails.
    However, the view is still not using the smooth scrolling hability in Mac OS: it scolls by steps which is very annoying because it is perfectly smooth when grabing the view between thumbnails.

  • Thumbnails in library grid view won't load all the way

    Anyone else getting this in LR 3.2? Kind of frustrating to only have half or so of the thumbnails in
    grid library view load. This also happens in the scroll bar view.
    Win 7 64 bit

    Are these huge files?
    Are you generating standard or 1:1 previews?
    If 1:1 try switching to standard to see if that helps.

  • Can't drag files in library grid view

    I am unable to click and drag files from folder to folder within a library.

    > Cancel that, now it seems to work. Anyone know why it sometimes doesn"t?
    A common problem that people still seem to have trouble with is that you must "grab" the thumbnail image itself, not the frame. Trying to drag an image by grabbing the frame does nothing.

  • Translucent gray over image in thumbnil (grid) view

    See example image below:
    one thumbnail looks OK (on left), but other, problem image (on right) has translucent gray layer over image!
    The problem images are not in a stack.
    If I click the problem image thumbnail it looks normal, but the gray overlay re-appears if I click on anther image.
    It shows OK in develop module.
    I know this is probably something stupid, but...can anyone help identify what is happening?
    -Colin

    Most probably you have flagged the image as "rejected" by pressing "X" on your keyboard.
    When an image is flagged as rejected it gets that grey overlay that disappears when you select the image. You can still edit them in the Develop Module.
    To delete the "Rejected" flag, select the images with the grey overlay and press "U" or "P" on your keyboard. "U" stands for "Unflagged". "P" stands for "Picked".

  • Moving Images in Grid View

    I can't for the life of me move individual images or groups of images around freely in grid view. The tutorial says to drag from the center of a thumbnail and drag it to the location you want it. I tried that and it just springs back to where it came from. I would like to randomly move images around in grid view and then number and rename. Any help is much appreciated

    I disagree. My point is that one should not have to keep in mind an underlying computing model in order to know when you can and can't sort.
    In general (not a Lightroom point), as I'm primarily a PC user I'm used to climbing learning curves, but I love the transparency of Macs when I do use them.
    That sorting isn't available in Lightroom just because I have an empty sub-folder makes no sense from the photographer's viewpoint.
    It's not a big deal, but the sorting constraints are a clumsy rough edge in largely excellent UI.

  • Cannot sort images in grid view?

    I am trying to re-arrange the order of images in the grid view by mean of drag-and-drop, but LR doesn't allow me to do it. I also manually selected "User Order" from the sort menu with no effect. It is happening only with the latest bunch of photos I imported (both in Collection and Folder), while LR still allows me to re-arrange my old images. I must be missing something obvious (not to me)... any idea?

    User sort order comes up on this forum so frequently that the subject deserves to be in the FAQ, especially since user sorting is almost totally undocumented.
    As Lee Jay points out, what is implemented is a design decision. There is a basic conflict here between user sort order and the existence of subfolders.
    The current implementation has a few rough edges. For example, even including all sub-items in the top folder doesn't free up sorting as has been suggested, at least in my Windows version. Also, even if a sub-folder is empty, user sorting is still frozen in parents. BTW, a sub-folder is one recognized by LR. A folder can have sub-folders in the underlying file system not in the catalog. These have no effect as far as I can tell.
    However, in all the cases I have tried, user sorting is available within and into stacks at any level regardless of whether sub-folders exist. I can move things around freely in a stack or from outside the stack (even from another stack) into the stack. Reversal is possible in stack-to-stack moves but not from a stack to the outside, unless the folder has no sub-folders. This fact might help work around the limitation in some cases.

  • Is there a way to hide the square cells in Library's Grid view?

    Hi,
    I'm moving from iPhoto from LR. I'm wondering if there's a way to display the photos in the Library (Grid View) without the square cells, so that they resemble the iPhoto display:
    I know that I can remove the metadata display using the View Options, but I can't see how to display the photos without the square grid lines (which I find distracting):
    Thanks!
    Doug

    There are only limited options to control the display appearance in Lightroom. I don't think any of your requests are possible.

  • I guess there are not phone support...  I cannot drag images from grid view into collections.

    I have been trying desperately to fix this issue.  I cannot drag any images from the grid view into collections.  Can anyone help?  I looked everywhere for a  customer support number but I was not able to find one on Adobe Website. 

    Hi,
    Only a couple of things I can think of:
    1. Make sure it isn't a Smart Collection, and
    2. Drag by placing the cursor on the actual picture NOT the grey area surrounding the image.

  • Drag and drop option in grid view

    Hi,
    I'm editing a large baptisim (750 photos) where I had another photographer. I nede the images in event order. On import, the photos are all over the place. I realise what I should have done, but now I'm here, I want to manualy drag and drop the photos in library-grid view. I'm dragging the photo and moving it, but it won't replace itself. What am I missing? Please help!

    But you can find two images from different cameras that appear to be shot at the same time or within a small interval. You can use their capture times to calculate the gap between the two camera's clocks.
    Now separate your files by cameras using the Library Filter (or Metadata Browser on LR 1.x) and make global time corrections with the Edit Capture Time command.
    Capture time shifts the date/time of each file in the selection by the same amount as you set for the 'most-selected' (or primary select) file.
    In the end, yes, sort by capture time.
    Export the whole shoot using a sequence in the file-name so they sort correctly on your customer's system.
