Pre-sets are are automatically being imported into Lightroom 1.4

Have a Mac 10.5.4
As yet not removed Lightroom 1.4. from computer ( also have a compressed zip copy)
On importing new pre-sets into Lightroom 2.
Lightroom 1.4 automatically imports them - even if I have Lightroom 2 open.
How to I get around this?
thank you
Sue

Both Lr 1 and Lr 2 use the same default location for presets.
If you want separate preset locations then choose the "Store presets with catalog" setting in the Presets tab of your Preferences settings.

My jpg files from CR2 edits in CS6/CC are not being imported into LR5.

My jpg files from CR2 edits in CS6/CC are not being imported into LR5. Bridge and Explorer can see them ok. Tried to reimport but LR5 cant see them.
The file numbers are the same as original CR2 but have the jpg extension. TIFFS and PSDs seem ok. Can anybody help please?

how do I get all these files in my catalogue in the correct places cos they scattered around a bit
That's kind of a broad question ... and there are many different approaches ... so I will explain my approach, and other people can explain their approach.
My approach is to assign keywords and optionally captions and titles and other metadata to all of your photos, and use those to organize and search. Then, it doesn't matter what folders things are located in, if you want to see all your pictures of Chicago, you simply click on the arrow to the far right of the keyword Chicago. You don't have to remember what folders to look in, and this works even if the photos are scattered in a dozen different folders. In addition, since photos must be in one and only one folder, that limits your ability to organize; but you can assign as many keywords as you'd like to a photo, so a single photo can have keywords "Chicago" "Zoo" "Elephant" "Vacation" "Illinois" "United States" etc.

I cannot shu down my iMac (for days) as I get the following message:Photos are being imported to the photo library. Now as far as I know there are no photos being imported and even if there were 5 days is crazy. How can I resolve this please?

Open Activity monitor in Utilities, go to the CPU tab>All Processes, and note any process that would appear to be related to importing photos, such as iPhoto, and use Force Quit. This may only be a temporary fix, as it may start all over again when you reboot. If that happens, we need to do some more investigating.
Also, close all open Applications, then open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return, then post the output of this command.

PSD files created using export data set fail to import into lightroom

If I create a set of files using variables in a data set, the PSD files won't import into LightRoom. LR says to resave with maximum compatibility, but I already have that set in Photoshop. If I open one of the files and resave it, it will import. Perhaps PS isn't honoring the maximize compatibility setting when exporting.

Hi,

Process for exporting out of Aperture to import into Lightroom

I'm trying to convert a large library of images that is presently cataloged in Aperture 2.0 into a Lightroom 2.0 Catalog.
Aperture doesn't store the sidecar files with the raw files. Is there a procedure or plugin that will create sidecar files in the same location as the (raw) image files in a nested file structure, so that I can then import the images (where they are now on the disk) into Lightroom and retain all the information that was recorded in Aperture (e.g. star ratings, keywords)? There are many thousands of images, in a fairly complex nested file structure, and recreating the images or manually moving files where they need to be in the file structure would take many hours.
If there is a FAQ on this topic, can someone simply kindly point me to the FAQ? I tried searching but was unable to find anything useful. I found solutions that exported the master files (duplicating ALL the image files) with xmp sidecars but as noted above this would be problematic given the size and structure of the files currently in Aperture.
Thanks!

There are 2 big problems with the export/duplication route:
1) The files are in a fairly complicated nested structure, and they need to STAY in that nested structure.
2) The time and disk space required to duplicate the entire library.
I don't have iView, don't know enough about Applescript to do this myself. (If I did, I would have done it already after reading the threads here that referenced iView.)
This is *extremely* frustrating. If this is a simple thing (for someone with the appropriate skillset) to write a plugin for, Adobe should have an employee or associate developer do it to ease the transition for new customers coming to Lightroom with a library already cataloged in Aperture.

I have already assigned photos from iPhoto to folders in Pictures on the Mac using the instructions from Adobe. How do i now move more recent photos from iPhoto without duplication and import into Lightroom?

If the images are in the location you want them be sure to select "Add" at the top of the import dialog box.

Re Importing into Lightroom 4.1

My photographic equipment consists of a Nikon D 7000 ( set to RAW) and a P 5000 (JPEG). My computer is an iMac with Lightroom 4.1 installed. Up until recently it has been possible to import from the SD cards directly into Lightroom via the reader in the side of the Mac. As of late the program will let me see the previews but when I attempt to import the images a message pops up that the files cannot be read! I can import them into 'iPhoto' but this is not where I want them! Can any one please suggest what has caused this new problem? I eagerly await any suggestions. With Thanks.

Dear tlsteinb.Thanks for your reply. I tried the ejection of the external drive as you suggested. To no avail! It is still a mystery to me. I do not know if i have to change a setting on the camera, the computer, or the program! I tried to send a 'chat' message to Adobe directly.How successful that will be we will wait and see! I shall keep you posted. Regards, Rae Dall

Just this morning I've begun experiencing the same thing. I can get the photos off the card and onto the iMac desktop for instance, but they won't import into Lightroom 4 from either the card reader or the desktop. So my assumption is that my card reader is working fine, but Lightroom is not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why are my emails being split into mime-Attachments?

Hi,
For some reason whenever I attach a file to my emails (Mail v3.5) some portion of the email text is being truncated into another attachment (mime-attachment) when it lands at the recipient.
Many times the recipient is not opening the mime-attachment unaware that it contains part of my email.
It seems to happen in either plain or rich text email formats and whether or not the attachments are attached as windows friendly or not.
Is there some way to stop this happening?
Regards,
Clayton

Clayton,
It is much discussed in these forums, and some others. The frequent discussion in these forums about whether to use Plain Text or RTF is relevant to some recipient email programs seeing inline attachments as embedded images due to the presence of the HTML that results from RTF when multiple fonts and attachments are present. Btw, the fact that the person composing sees the attachments with View in Place has no bearing on this issue involving HTML that results from RTF.
Outlook and Outlook Express don't handle Rich Text well, even when they create it. The messages you have been sending would, I am sure, appear fine in Thunderbird, example on either a Windows or a Mac platform. Mail auto converts RTF to Plain if only one font, or one size/color font is utilized, but if more than one font, even if only introduced in the Signature, then continues with RTF, which then gets converted to HTML. In Plain Text, attachments placed throughout the message will likely work with many recipient email clients, but not all of those. Placing all attachments last -- an option now offered in Mail 3 -- is the surest help when you don't know the recipients system well.

Keyword tags not being imported into Organizer when doing Save As

I've got quite a number of pictures in the Organizer, and find the keyword searching invaluable.
However... When I open a file containing keywords in the main editor, and save as, it offers the choice "Include in the Organizer" which is ticked by default. This brings the new version of the image into the organizer, but the keywords don't appear. They are still in the source .psd or .jpeg, going back into the editor and doing File | File info... shows that they are there.
I got round it by saving with "Include in the Organizer" unchecked, but it doesn't remember the setting of this - it always switches back on. This keeps the file out of the Organizer so at least you can use Ctrl+Shift+G to import which will take the keyword tags.
I guess there are two questions here:
1. Is it possible to get the Save As to put the keywords as well as the image into the Organizer?
2. Failing that, is there a way to turn off the "Include in the Organizer" check box?
I've searched the web, messages in this forum, and the FAQ by John R. Ellis and haven't been able to turn up any clues. Hope someone can help or advise :-)
Regards,
Duncan

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
How are you opening the files into the Editor. Are you in the Organizer and you select a photo and the Ctrl-I (or menu command) to open the editor? Or do you open the file from the Editor directly, searching for it among your folders?
I'm opening the files from the Organizer using Ctrl+I.
What version of PSE?
I'm using PSE7 with the latest updates applied.
What file type are you trying to save the photo as? Please confirm that the originals are .jpg and not RAW.
I'm using .jpg and .psd, using Save As with the same filetype. e.g. open dsc1017.jpg save it as dsc1017_modified.jpg
Regards,
Duncan

Rotated movs not staying rotated after being imported into iMovie

Hi,
Used Quicktime to rotate some camera phone videos and saved them as .mov files.
They play fine but on importing to iMovie they have reverted to their unrotated state!
How annoying!?

Ouch!
QuickTime 7 has done away with the ability to freely rotate (or skew) video tracks and the link you've provided shows screen shots that do not appear in QT 7 Pro.
Version 7 allows rotation (90° increments) and "offset" (location of the track as a layer).
Since I don't own a camcorder I rarely run into this issue. Some people shoot in "Portrait" mode (turn the camera 90° and shoot) and then have issues importing to a DV app like iMovie. It wants to scale or squish of stretch your video capture to the DV dimensions (720x480).
So. What's a gal gonna do with portrait video?
QuickTime Pro 7 can fix it, too. Just not as easy as version 6 and with less visual "clues" as to what is happening while you edit.
QuickTime Pro can have up to 99 layers (tracks).
Make an image format file (.png if you need alpha channels) sized to the iMovie format size. NTSC is 720X480 pixels. The image will be all black (paint bucket tool) and saved as .png or even .pct. Don't use .jpg because it doesn't allow transparency and avoid .gif format because of the lack of colors.
Open this new 720X480 image using QT Pro. Select all (Command-A) and copy (Command-C). It's now stored on the Mac clipboard.
Open the video shot in portrait mode. Select all (Command-A) and choose "Add to Selection & Scale" from the Edit menu.
Not done just yet.
Open the Movie Properties window and single click on your video track (the real video track). Click the Visual Settings tab where you can adjust its "offset" and "scaled size". Adjust these settings to what works best for your video track size.
Switch back to the Player window and test. Adjust as needed until you're happy with the file and the position of your video track against this black background image. If you don't even see your video track you'll need to set its "layer" number lower than your black background image. Negative values can be entered.
All happy now? Are you sure?
Two options for this new file. Save As (self-contained) to make a QuickTime movie you could use in a Web page. Had you used a color other than black for the image this is where you could "blend" it into the background of your page.
Export. To DV Stream. This helps "lock" your file and it will rapidly import into iMovie where you can edit it further.
What about the added B/W .png file? It only acts like a placeholder to force your portrait movie be served in landscape format. I'll bet it isn't 20KB's in file size.
Hope this helps other users. Lots of steps but great results (when done correctly).

MP3 files not maintaining integrity when being imported into CP

I am imported MP3 voices files into my Captivate slides and
strange things are happening. I need your help! Some of the MP3s
will import properly into a CP file, but some sound like a machine
gun when played while others import no sound whatsoever. I have
tried a variety of ways to import and I have tried to alter the
properties of the imported MP3. But nothing seems to fix it. When I
listen to the MP3 prior to importing it, it sounds fine. The
problem is happening during the import.
Additionally, many of the MP3s slow down and play the voice
too slowly after being imported. Again, they sound fine before the
import but become distorted once I have imported them.
Please let me know if there is a work-around or solution for
this problem! Thank you!!!

I was dragging to a folder with no playlist
Drag the folder to the word Playlist in iTunes and it will create a new playlist nmaed after that folder with the songs in that folder.

Email not being imported into my MacBook Pro - SSL error

My email accounts that I monitor thru the mail in my macbook pro are now not working or updating. When I read the error message it states that I might have to turn SSL off if my server does not support it. I read Eric Roots suggestion on how to turn off SSL but when I follow his instructions I can not edit the SSL selection to uncheck. My mail has been working fine by importing 5 email accounts into my Mail Application but since May 9 it has quite working on my Macbook Pro. The mail app works fine on my ipad and my iphone.

Out of frustration I finally completely shut down my MacBook Pro and waited 30 minutes then turned back on and majectly all of my email accounts imported into my Mail account. Still not sure why this happened. I use my MacBook as my desktop so I leave it on all the time and wonder if this may be my problem. Thanks looking at my question but no answer replies but this seemed to fix my issue.

Photoshop Edits Import into Lightroom, Color/Noise Problems

Hello! When I edit photos in Photoshop (CS5), it looks completely different when I save it/re-import it into Lightroom. The color is usually way off, and there tends to be a significant amount of noise in the imported version. Tiffs v. Jpegs makes no difference. I read in another forum that someone else said he only has this problem with his Canon 7D files. My files are all Canon 7D. Would that be a Canon problem to solve, or Adobe? I'm attaching a screenshot of an image I had just saved in Photoshop, and then how it appears when it automatically re-imported back to Lightroom. Thank you for any help you can provide. It's killing me to work so hard on my images, just to have them look completely different afterwards.
Thanks, Heather

Looks like you are applying a preset, have set camera defaults, or have enabled auto-tone. In Develop, all sliders should be at zero for tif files. You probably have a large amount of shadow fill dialed in. Go into your preferences and make sure to uncheck "apply auto tone adjustments" Also reset all default camera adjustments in the same dialog. Then hit reset on the file in develop.

JPG´s will not import into lightroom 1.4.1 ("the file appears to be unsupported or damaged")

I have converted a collection of raw files with Autopano pro to jpgs.
When importing them into lightroom 1.4.1, part of the collection is not displayed in lightroom and the software gives me the msg "the file appears to be unsupported or damaged".
The same files open up with any other jpg supporting software.
Can anybody help me with this

I was not aware of this pano program but have downloaded a trial copy and will give it a go. I just did a set of images that PTGUI could not deal with and it looks like this program did it perfectly even without muddling with the control points. Its also dealing with 1 image where I cropped out a conflicting angle of view area.
I just imported the jpeg out of this package into LR with no problems. I edited it after import to LR with Photoshop CS3 to do a cleanup crop of the pan.
I'm very impressed with PanoPro right now. Will have to purchase. PLUS...it runs either Mac or PC!!! Solves yet another problem I've had with my conversion to Apple.
