Orientation is not reporting in Develop Settings

I can't seem to read the orientation value in the develop settings - always comes up nil (most other settings reporting OK).
Rob

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it
i think we r missing ' in the statement
select replace(msg, '<'<') msg from testmsg
so, i tried this
select replace(colname, '<''<') from tablename(updated too)
but its still the same. It is good in database, if i do export to csv , i am having the column value '<' included in it.example "abc<ggggg"
but in the report its displaying just "abc" .

Choosing Edit In Photoshop does not carry my develop settings

Hi,
Something awry has happened to my Lightroom. All of a sudden, when I want to open a photo in Photoshop by right clicking and selecting Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS4, I don't get the traditional TIFF file which used to be generated (as in _MG_9999_Edit.tif) with all the changes made to the raw file in the Develop module. Instead, the direct RAW file is opened in PS and it looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT than what I see in Lightroom 2.
What happened?
Thanks in advance,
Juan

Hi,
Yes, thanks. That has always been the behavior but not a couple of days ago. It so happens I had several virtual copies and maybe it wasn't choosing the correct one?
My LR is 2.5 and ACR 5.5
For non virtual copies it works fine.... Can you confirm this?
Regards,
Juan

Develop settings are not saved

Hello,
I'm working mainly with jpeg and psd files and trying to save all settings and metadata automatically to be able to use it from other applications (e.g.Bridge). The two catalog options "Include develop settings in metadata..." and "Automatically write changes to XMP" are activated.
However, Lightroom does not save the modifications that I made in the Develop module. All other metadata changes (ratings, title, IPTC, etc...) are saved and available in other applications. I'm using version 3.3 on 64bit Windows. I'm not 100% sure but as I recall I didn't have this problem with previous versions.
Is there any solution?
Thanks!

It's not clear what you actually expected. Outside of Lr or Camera Raw the only way that an image will be rendered as per your edits is if they had been exported (i.e. newly fully rendered version of JPEG or PSD). Simply saving the setting does nothing other than embed a bunch of metadata.

Bridge CS4 does not see ACR presets in Develop Settings

I think that this is new with CS4. I create a Preset in ACR in the Preset Panel. That Preset works fine on photos in ACR. The Preset is listed in the Camera Raw Settings folder in the Finder.
But, when I try to apply the Preset in Bridge via Edit > Develop Settings, the Preset does not appear. Is this correct? I believe that a preset did appear in CS3 in Bridge Develop Settings.
The preset was created with a Raw file from the 1DS MkIII. Could it be camera-related?
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Sonny

Strange. I Quit Bridge. Relaunched Bridge, and the Presets now appear in the Develop Settings list.
I presume that I should not have to Quit and relaunch for the presets to appear?
I created another preset. It only appeared in Develop Settings when I again quit and relaunched Bridge, even though it appears in the Camera Raw Settings folder.

Develop settings did not transfer in Lightroom 5

Hi, when I upgraded my catalog from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5, it appears that not all of the my develop settings transfered for all photos. If I am to open the catalog in Lightroom 4, the appear to still exist. How can I see all the settings in Lightroom 5.
-Thanks Todd

Hey ssprengel,
No, I can't really make sense of any pattern. I edited almost all of my photos directly in Lightroom 4 using the develop module.
When I purchased Lightroom 5, I attempted to open the catalog I had used with Lightroom 4 and it told me it would be upgraded. I confirmed the upgrade and this is the new catalog I work with in 5. This is the catalog that does not consistently show me my develop settings from 4.
When I have upgraded Lightroom in the past, I had not run into this problem.
I do understand that I now have two separate catalogs, but in my experience, I had always thought that these settings would transfer as I did not start a new import or make a copy, all I did was upgrade the catalog.
Thanks,

Highlights and Shadows develop settings are not functions

While implementing an image-processing plugin, I learned something very interesting (to me) about the Shadows and Highlights develop settings. The other basic tone settings (exposure, contrast, saturation, etc.) always map any one color to another single color uniformly throughout the image. But the Shadows and Highlights may map a given color to multiple colors in a single image, depending on the location of the pixels.
For example, in a test image I made with Shadows = +100, pixel (824,286) had its original 16-bit color value (0, 0, 0) transformed to (1724,1387,852). Pixel (861,287) also had original color (0,0,0), but it was transformed to a much different color (3093,2688,1316).
Abstractly, the other basic tone settings are functions (any input color always has the same output color), while Shadows and Highlights are many-to-many mappings (any input color may have multiple output colors). I knew that Clarity was not a function -- the transformed value of a pixel would depend on neighboring pixels. But it never occurred to me that Shadows and Highlights weren't functions either.
Is this property of Shadows and Highlights well-known by expert users of LR? (I.e. Rob, I assume you knew of this?)

Yup - @Lr4 (PV2012) there are 3 adjustments using Adobe's new "magic" algorithm:
* Clarity
* Highlights
* Shadows
I really don't know enough to fill in much in the way of details, except to say that when you use -highlights or +shadows, it "clarifies" the highlights and/or shadows a little bit, by way of the laplace-transform based algorithm Adobe developed. Jeff Schewe has pointed us to a white-paper about it in the past, but I dunno the link.. To me, it's akin to Topaz Detail and/or Topaz Adjust's "adaptive" enhancements - two Photoshop plugins I used regularly until Lr4 came out (Adobe's algorithm is very well done - in my opinion, better than Topaz labs, or any of the others doing similar things, e.g. PhaseOne, DxO, Nikon, ..).
FWIW - this is one of the reasons some people were raising heck when Lr4 first came out - no way to brighten shadows using the basic sliders without getting the clarification effect.. That said, Eric Chan also has informed us that Lr3's fill light had a similar mathematical algorithm backing it, and so Lr4 was not new in that regard, just improved..

ACR Develop Settings feature not working

I have been using Bridge and Camera Raw to process images. I make adjustments from one image to many others using the Develop Settings feature. I don't know what changed or why, but when I now open a raw file in Bridge, Photoshop opens, and I seem to be working in Photoshop's ACR, instead of Bridge's ACR. When I click "Done," I go back to Photoshop and not Bridge, and the Develop Settings menu is grayed out. Right clicking doesn't work because Develop Settings is not even listed there. I have checked all the settings for Bridge and ACR and Photoshop, and I can't find anything that is different or not selected. I think my program might be corrupted.
Anyone have any ideas? I am running Windows XP 64 bit edition with 8gbs of RAM. I've been using this system since February with no problem. Help!!! I have work to do!!!

I found another post with regard to a completely different problem, but the solution suggested was to purge the cache for the folders, one by one. I purged the cache for the folder where I started having the problem, and now everything seems to be working well again.
I'm using CS3 with Bridge 2.1.1.9

Read keywords from file but not develop settings?

Is there any way to read IPTC Core metadata, but not develop settings, from a file? I'm still figuring out my Lightroom workflow and made some errors that I'd like to recover from. Here's the situation:
In Lightroom 2.x I selected images, gave them star ratings, and made initial Develop module adjustments. I did NOT write the metadata back to the files (my mistake). Later, my keywording assistant opened the files in another program (Breeze Browser) and added extensive keywords using a controlled vocabulary that works very well and very fast in Breeze. Now I have extensive caption and keyword data in the XMP sidecars, but develop settings in Lightroom's database. I need to merge them.
The slow and tedious workaround in Lightroom is to select the photo, copy the develop settings, read the metadata from the file, then paste the develop settings back in. It works, but is repetative and slow. There's not even a keyboard shortcut for reading metadata. The other tedious workaround is to export the keywords to a text file (using Breeze) and copy & paste them into Lightroom's keywords field. But that's even slower.
Is there a way to write only the develop settings to the files?
Any other suggestions on how to proceed? I have several hundred images that need to be fixed.
In the future, I know I need to write the metadata to the files after making any adjustments in Lightroom so the data travels with the files themselves and isn't just in Lightroom's database.

Ok, thanks for the reply.
I feel a bit ashamed now, because my topic title contains the function i needed...
So, assuming that i would have
String content = "458,304,0,345,432";i could split this and put this in an array string using a code like
String[] arry = null;
array = content.split("\\.");I haven't tested the code yet, cause i'll go to bed soon, but will this split all at once and put it in the array or do i have to create a loop or something ?
And is it possible to put number one using split in the array[x][v] on the x location and the others at the [v] location ? (the first number of each five has to be added to [x] and the other 4 to [v] )
Again thanks for your reply, cause im a bit further this way in accomplishing what i want to reach :)

Crystal Report XI developer kit not running after install

Hi, I am new in Crystal Report. We just purchased Crystal Report XI developer kit, and I installed it on a windows 2003 server with sp II. But when I go to program file-> BusinessObjects XI->Crystal Reports->Crystal Reports XI to try to launch Crystal Report, nothing show up, not even an error message. I did unistall and reinstall the software again once, but still the same. On the server, there is .NET framework 2.0.
Anybody please help how to make Crystal Report XI up running.
Thanks,
Qiaomei

Ludek,
I am quite confused too. I could not find about | help anywhere related to Cyrstal Report. I wish I could attach an image to show you if I can. Here is what it looks like if I go to programs
from start->programs ->
BusinessObjects XI -> Crystal Reports----
>Crystal Reports for .Net Samples
Crystal Reports XI -
Business Objects License Manager -
Crystal Reports XI
Registration Wizard
Report Designer Component Samples
If I go to Business Objects License Manager, the first line of the window is
Product: Crystal Reports Developer
I am not sure if this can help you understand what I have.
Thanks.

Develop Settings Not Transferring to Lightroom CC

Dear support,
I just upgraded my catalog from LR 5.7 to LR CC. The develop settings in LR 5.7 (i.e. exposure, white balance, etc.) are all zero values in LR CC. I have thousands of photos. There's no way I want to re-enter all my settings for each photo. Is this a bug in LR CC?
Wade

Are you able to confirm that you've done a direct comparison using the same image between the LR5 and LRCC catalogs? If you followed the normal upgrade method, having all develop settings reverted to the default zero positions is extremely unusual....in fact this is the first time I've heard of it, hence my puzzlement. If possible, could you show us a screenshot of such a comparison, showing the sliders in the Basic panel and the contents of the History panel for the same image in both catalogs? It would help us try to figure out what's happened here.
After that, I guess the next logical thing to try would be to run through the upgrade process again, but maybe save that thought for later. Let's see if we can figure our way through this.
Your reference to the XMP data is interesting. Did you have "Auto write to XMP" enabled in the LR5 catalog settings?

VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

Hi,
1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
I would get an error :
Failed to connect to server "localhost".
Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
Code below:
        string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
        object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
        // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
        ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
        // Set the location of the RAS server.
        rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
        // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
        rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
Reason why it would not run?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
         * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
         * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
         * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
         * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
         * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
        DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

Problem with JPGs Downlaoded with Nikon Transfer - Can't Apply Develop Settings in Bridge CS4 and ACR 5.3 Settings Don't Stick

I have found what I believe is a "problem" with JPGs downloaded using Nikon Transfer (ver 1.4.1) and processing same in Adobe Bridge CS4 (Develop Settings) and/or Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 (Photoshop CS4 and Elements 6 as hosts).
Anyone using these programs in their workflow?
The problem, quite simply, is that neither ACR settings (nor Bridge CS4 Develop Settings) "stick" when applied to JPGs that have been downloaded via Nikon Transfer ver 1.4.1.
The same images from the same cameras (D300 and D90), downloaded moments later using Nikon's predecessor software PictureProject work just fine in both Bridge and ACR. Develop Settings appled in Bridge immediately are seen, and JPGs opened in ACR, and settings applied, then "Done" immediately stick and are reflected in Bridge.
If someone else is processing their JPGs in this manner, please let me know, as I have reported the problem to both Nikon and Adobe, and although I have tested it on two different cameras and two differnt laptops, I would like to get an impartial result as well.
One other test, the problem does not seem to affect Nikon's RAW (NEF) format files downloaded from a D2x using Nikon Transfer. More/different test are forthcoming.
Thanks
jeff

Can't say one way or another on that statement about using manufacturers' software. Since Adobe has to interpret each camera models' RAW format having the latest ACR seems to be the best option. But if the manufacturers' software is more convenient, and you get the same results then use it. But it does appear you are not getting what you want, so suggest you try a duplicate test run with images straight from the card reader to Bridge and see if you still have same problems.
I do know it is widely recommended that using a quality card reader gives you more reliable data than getting the pictures straight from the camera. Does not seem intuitive, but that has been experience of many.

Crystal Reports XI Developer Release 2

What is the upgrade method of going from Crystal Reports XI Developer to Crystal Reports XI Developer Release 2.
I've seen mention on other forums and help-desk websites that it is a free upgrade for a registered user of Crystal Reports XI Developer. However, I can't how this is done.

Hello,
There are a number of ways to get the physical download. Here's one that's pretty easy. Go to the [Downloads page |http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]for Crystal Reports and set the search criteria for service packs for Crystal Reports XI R2.
Software Product: Crystal Reports
Product Version: XI Release 2
Software Type: Service Pack
You'll see a number of downloads. Download one of the Full Build packages like "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - Service Pack 4 Full Build".
After downloading CR XI R2 you should uninstall CR XI and then install CR XI R2. CR XI R2 is not really an upgrade to CR XI. It is it's own stand alone version.
You'll sometimes see issues in Crystal Reports if you don't fully remove CR XI by following manual cleaning steps. You may need to do the following from SAP Note 1218535 - How to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Symptom
Crystal Reports XI is installed on your computer. You need to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI for one of the following reasons:
To verify that all Crystal Reports XI components have been completely removed prior to installing a later version of Crystal Reports.
To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the Setup.exe file from Crystal Reports XI installation CD.
Resolution
Before getting started, uninstall Crystal Reports XI by launching the Setup.exe file from the installation CD or by using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command. If either of these methods fails to remove all Crystal Reports directories, files and registry keys, then continue with the resolution of this article.
WARNING: This resolution can be applied if Crystal Reports XI is the only software installed on the computer that uses the Business Objects directories, files and registry keys.
For example, Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI are applications that may share the same directories, files and registry keys. Removing these directories, files and registry keys may cause other software to function incorrectly.
1. To manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI, delete the following directories:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0
C:\Program Files\Business Objects
NOTE: Do not remove the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 if you have BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI installed. These files are shared by both applications and removal of these files will cause Business ObjectsEnterprise XI and Crystal Reports Server XI to function incorrectly.
WARNING: The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
HELP: For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
RECOMMENDATION: It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
2. Delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports
HKEY_USERS\S-#-#-##-...-####\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports
The number signs (#) represent a series of numbers that are different on each computer.
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.

Finding files by develop settings

Probably a question for Bridge users, but that forum is pretty useless, and it relates to Camera Raw, so I'm asking here...
In Bridge, you can search for files by certain EXIF or file metadata, and filter Contents by a few more statistics, like orientation or aspect ratio. However, I've never found a way of selecting files with specific raw development settings, like Exposure = 0.00, or Clarity = 20.
I could use the operating system search instead to search XMP sidecars for text strings, but then there would be no way to easily and quickly work on the resulting files as a batch, as far as I can see.
Any suggestions?

Warunicorn wrote:
I know you can filter by exposure by using the Filter panel (natch), which is enabled by default in the lower left corner in Bridge CC.
Otherwise, you can create any keyword you want on the lower right Keywords panel, apply them to selected images, then use the Filter panel using the "Keywords" element containing your customized keywords.
Exposure? That must be new in CC, unless you mean "Exposure Time", which is the EXIF shutter speed, not the Camera Raw Exposure setting.
Keywords doesn't help me identify ACR develop settings.

Develop Settings Adjustment

I hope its OK to announce a new plugin here. I know its not OK in the Lightroom forum proper. I wouldn't even do it here if it wasn't taking 2+ *******' months to push it through the exchange.
Please just let me know if you have an objection and I'll remove the post, rather than reporting it as abuse - thanks.
Also, this isn't self promotion - not only is this plugin free but all of my plugins are free - its just an offering to the community.
DevAdjust - Relative Develop Settings Adjustment, including support for presets and preset combos...
Rob

No single "Adjustment Layer" could ever duplicate all of Lighroom/Camera Raw's controls...ain't gonna hapen. But you CAN open in Photoshop, add a smart object using Camera Raw (easier to do with CS3 & CR 4) and have the same LR/CR rendering as a smart object...
