Presets not applying in LR4.

So I experienced a weird anomoly in LR4 the other day, when I try to apply a preset to a NON raw file, i.e (JPG, PSD, TIFF) the preset in develop mode would not apply. In the preview winddow as I hover over different preset it would show me a preview, but when I go to click on it, nothing would happen. Strangely enough when I goto Library mode, it would apply! When I go back to Develop mode it would revert back to normal and unapply. I have to switch back and forth from library to develop mode for it to show the preset apply.
Well I found the issue this morning, but I'm not sure as to what I should do.
I opened the console this morning and when the issue occured I got this.
3/1/13 8:51:11.084 AM WindowServer[84]: CGXDisableUpdate: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "Lightroom" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.
3/1/13 8:51:12.592 AM WindowServer[84]: reenable_update_for_connection: UI updates were finally reenabled by application "Lightroom" after 2.51 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds)
Seems like Lightroom disabled the UI? and WindowServer re enabled it?
Basically after 3 sec or so the preset would apply.
Any ideas?

Custom settings of Edit-in Preset not applied to image in PS

I am having a problem with my custom made EDIT-IN Preset. While clicking on it launches the image (dng, psd or tiff) in PS, the custom settings of the preset (in my case: 8bit, sRGB) are not applied to the image. Instead the image is opened in PS with the default settings as specified in the Preference menu (in my case: 16bit, ProPhoto RGB).
I am running LR2.2 & PS CS3 (10.0.1) on a 64bit Windows Vista Business machine.
The settings of the preset are:
Application: Photoshop.exe
File Format: TIFF
Color Space: sRGB
Bit Depth: 8 Bits
Resolution: 240
Compression: None
By the way, this problem occurs also on my 32bit XP-Pro Computer.
Any helpful suggestions?
Mike

Hi,
I think you are running same problem as described in the following article:
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2894518

Import - user preset not applied 'fully'

This is update of problem reported in previous entry 'duplicate imports'. Have now tracked the cause of this observation.
The problem dates back to at least Lightroom 3.
I use different import presets for my set of cameras so that the file name reflects the camera.
I also have pairs of presets where the only difference is that a duplicate backup is created or not.
On my PC the default path for backup files has the drive letter of my card reader.
What I notice is that if I select the 'backup' preset then change my mind and select the 'non-backup' preset the flag enabling the creation of a backup copy remains selected. On then proceeding with the import a backup copy is made on the card using the default path.
This is not normally a problem as I then re-format the card in the camera, but it could be a problem if the card is nearly full as the backup copy process will fail due to lack of space on the card.
This became apparent because I initially imported files into my LR3 catalogue and thus unknowingly created duplicates on the card.
Then on importing into my LR4_beta catalogue two copies of each file appeared, the original in the location set by the camera and the duplicate/backup created by LR3. The import dialog does not show paths on cards so it is not apparent that the duplicate files are in different folders.
This looks like a bug in the handling of presets, that some settings, in this case the flag to enable backup file creation, are not updated on selecting the preset.
The pairs of preset names are similar eg c41_backup and c41_nobackup.
For the softies benefit I also note that if I select the 'non backup' preset for a different camera the flag does get cleared, suggesting the bug is something to do with recognising a change of pre-set.
I have not checked but this may be the cause of other mysterious import issues.

Do you have "Apply Auto Tone adjustments" checked in the Preferences>Presets tab? If yes, uncheck it. If not:
Take one image into the Develop module, press and hold the Shift key and the "Reset" button bottom-right will change to "Reset (Adobe)", then click on that button. Does the image reset to the way you expected it? If so, you've (inadvertently) changed the default develop settings, to reset them go to Develop menu>Set Default Settings>click on "Restore Adobe Default Settings".

Preset is applied in import that i did not specify

I have imported my photos into lightroom for the 3rd time and each time, there says none in preset on import and then in library it shows custom in settings and WB. I have not applied any, if I have I have done it on accident, i have tried and tried to change it but is not working. It will not let me change both settings in the Library tabs only one or the other. I have tried reset and that doesn't work. I have shut down and restarted and and I have deleted and imported. I'm no lightroom genius but I have at least tried to fix it with common sense, now I ask here. it must be a reset as it sharpens and changes all sorts of settings and its making me quite frusterated.

Presets not included when exporting video as original

Hello everyone. I am having a nasty issue when I try to edit and export video out of Lightroom 4.3 on Mac 10.6.8. When I export as "Original" the presets and clipping are not applied. Another user on another discussion had suggested to flag the video, but it does no good for me. It just copies the video to the folder with no preset adjustments applied. When I try to export as H.264, it sets the output to 640x480, which is undesirable, and when it does export, the video quality is completely ruined, with a sort of milky white overlay and heavy pixelization.
What can I do to export my video as "original" with all the presets applied?

The second part of this is the answer, the first part is irrelevant.
ManiacJoe wrote:
Lightroom never writes to the raw files. Exporting as "original" gets you the original raw file. However, you can have LR output an XMP sidecar file with all the edit instructions in it, which still probably does not get you to where you want to be.
The short answer is, to get your edits applied to the exported file, you need to pick a format other than "original".

Edit in Photoshop TIFF Compression Not Applied

I'm running LR4.1 on Windows 7 and have my LR 'External Editing' preferences set to 'ZIP' compression. When I 'Save' an 'Edit In' file from inside PS CS6 it does not apply ZIP compression. I verified this by checking the file size, then resaving using 'Save As' and selecting 'ZIP' compression in the save file options. The file size was reduced as expected, so LR is creating a TIFF file that does not respect my preferences setting for 'ZIP' compression.
In addition the TIFF file created by LR4.1 'Edit In' defaults to Macintosh 'Byte Order:
There is no LR 'Preferences' setting to change the 'Byte Order' to IBM PC, yet many agencies specifically want TIFF files with Intel/PC byte order. I will now have to go back and manually change these settings on any images sent to these agencies. In addition I will have to manually do a 'Save As' and reset these TIFF options for all future LR 'Edit In' Photoshop images.
Does anyone else have the same issue and/or have a more suitable solution?
Message was edited by: trshaner I forgot to add that once you 'Save' a LR 'Edit In' image in PS, the TIFF save dialouge toggles to Macintosh 'Byte Order. This means you have to manually change it in PS the next time ANY TIFF file is opened and resaved inside, to re-toggle it back to the preferred settings.

That's a very good question. Go to this post with last comment from one year ago:
Lightroom/Photoshop: TIFF compression settings have no effect when Lightroom sends image to Photoshop for editing
Scroll down to this post and click on 'view 2 more comments.'
You can use Image Processor Pro to apply compression to multiple TIFFs already processed, but there's no option in it for also adding ZIP layer compression.

Presets - only applying to images as they are seen in library pane

I have lightroom version 1.2
Mac user 10.4.11 2.1 ghz processor
When I apply one of my presets to a large number of images (as in more than you can see at any one time in library pane) I notice it will only apply the preset to the images that I can see in the library pane.
As in if I scroll done to view images not already see on the library pane it then appears to start processing those images.
It is definitely doing this and not updating a preset that has already been applied. Why would it only apply preset to images as they are viewed in library pane.
Eventually of course the preset is applied to all images and once done it is done, but a bit of a nuisance as I need to babysit it.
Cannot think of a preference that would change this..
Any ideas?
Regards
Larry

Ah yes I see if you go into library>previews>render standard previews as soon as you run your preset it will do it all for you.
Thanks

Auto exposure not applying when using the auto enhance function

I am on Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite. I use a Canon 6D and shoot in RAW. When I am doing the batch auto enhance to my shots, I find that even though in the adjustments preset Auto Enhance includes auto exposure, often it is actually not applied. Are there anyways to fix this? The images actually are a bit underexposed and I now need to go through picture by picture to click on the auto button under adjustment. Thanks.

Have you set your camera to use Canon's Highlight Tone Priority? Then most of the Raw files will be underexposed, because Aperture is developing the RAW file "as is" and not applying the in-camera settings. See Keith Barkley's user tip.

Importing nikon d610 files and presets are applying to raw files?

I just picked up a nikon d610 and every time I import photos several presets are applied to my Raw images. White balance, contrast, Vibrance, saturation, and sharpening. It's like an import preset is set but I don't have anything selected. This only happens on my D610, my D800 and D7000 import raw files in with no settings applied. Running LR5.5 on a Mac OS 10
Anyone experience this before?
Thanks

You mention an older camera, which opens the door to the possibility of older software. There are histories of older versions of Nikon Transfer doing bad things to files from newer cameras. Check to see that you have the most recent version of Nikon Transfer. If not, do the upgrade then transfer the files again from the card(s).

Develop Preset for Import in LR4.2 (iMac 10.8.2)

Can any please tell me how to set up a preset on the Import page (there are some there now) that I can use when I import my photos into LR. I am tired of going to Lens Correction in the Develop mod to put the nikon lens in that I used for the shoot. It is always turned off and I would like to have it activated when I import my shots. I know that while in the Develop mod, I can change it for one photo and then use "sync" to have it address all the other photos. But then it is a pain in the butt. There must be a way of doing it on import and that is the reason I am asking for your help. Either that or else have it recognize the lens that I used automatically.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hi Tunney,
I would second JimHess: of course you could employ a develop preset during Import, but then all images would be labelled as having develop adjustments. And you do not see where you have invested develop work already.
I consider the Adobe defaults just as a starting suggestion, which may or may not apply to my taste per camera.
So I would rather tweak the default develop settings: just make sure that you include only stuff that virtually applies to ALL of your images.
I, too, have included automatic lens correction and defringe edges.
First decide in your catalog settings if you want the develop defaults specific per camera type or serial number or even ISO ( a nightmare if you ever use auto-ISO).
Then select a sample image, goto develop module and set only the stuff that should apply to all imported images. Then save them as new default settings.
You do nit change anything during import then.
If you hit the Reset button it will always revert to these defaults.

External editing does not work in LR4 (??)

external editing does not work in LR4 (updated from LR3 a few days ago)
has anyone an idea to solve this problem?
Thank you.

when I send the RAW Document for external editing (Elements 10) nothing happens at all ... zero :-(
a friend of mine has the same problem - also updated from LR3 to LR4, external editor: elements 10
Which process version is the image you're trying to edit externally?
You right-click (I'm assuming PC, can't help Macs), there should be a context menu option "Edit in". You choose that, and there's an option for Elements 10 or not?
If so, what happens when you select it? Do you get any further message?
If not, you may have to go to Edit menu, preferences, External Editing tab and create a preset for Elements. In the "Additional External Editor" area, click "Choose" and navigate to wherever Elements is on your machine and you can create a new external editor.

Do not apply the latest upgrade to LR 4.2 if you are using PS5

Do not apply the latest upgrade to LR 4.2 if you are using PS5. The latest LR update used Raw 7.2 which is not available in CS5.
Wish I had a was to go backward. LR 4.2 was working fine until the latest upgrade.
Wish I had not done it. NOW I am back to all the problems I had when I first installed LR4.0.
Plus I am swamped with work through the Dec. So no time to spend days on the phone with support.
Afraid to upgrade to PS6 as I cannot aford any additional issues. Have lost my faith in adobe.

There is nothing wrong with LR, it always works one way with whatever is the contemporary Photoshop version., and another way with all other software. CS5 is not the contemporary version with these newer Lightroom versions, CS6 is.
If you have the latest PS as well as the latest LR, then the "Edit in Photoshop" command gets ACR to process the file, using LR settings.
If you have different software or older software, either that cannot happen, or else is not certain to happen 100% compatibly. So a different method is used, as JimHess says: getting LR to render the file properly, instead of getting ACR to have a go (and perhaps get some things wrong).
If you get a dialog box warning about ACR compatibility, you need to select "Render using Lightroom" rather than "Open anyway".
If you no longer get this dialog (you have checked "don't show again") you can make it show again using the LR PReferences / general tab / "Reset all warning dialogs" button. That lets you select the proper option.
The only caveat here, is that with this "render using LR" method, the converted file has already been named and saved to disk before you see it in PS. This means that when you finish your edit, you must Save the results to the filename already assigned, not to another name. Then LR will be looking in the right place, to see your PS edits. This also means that even if you don't save changes at all from PS, LR will still show a new image version anyway (unlike with the other method via ACR).

Text not printing or PDFing. Non-printing is not applied. Help?

I have a logo. The top is on a path applied to an oval. Same with the bottom. In the middle is an ampersand (&). When I try to print, only the ampersand prints. I've tried printing to 2 different machines. I also tried saving it as a PDF but I lose everything except the ampersand in the middle. Everything is colored black, so there are no weird colors going on. Non-printing is not applied to anything. Any thoughts? I can send the file to somebody if they want to check it out.

Sorry for the delay. Spent some time looking for the font becasue I'm on Windows.
I opened it first in CS5, and after font substitution it exported fine, so I figured maybe it was a font problem on your end, but just to be safe I opened it in CS3 to check. Same problem here that you have on your end.
Good news, though. I exported to .inx and opened that. That page opened at 11 inches high, which may be part of the problem, but after resizing, it exported correctly. This is a pretty good inidcator of some minor corruption that is fixable by the export. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

Number format mask of text item is not applied

Hello all,
I want to format a number like 999G999G999G999G990D00
Is specify the format mask under source of the item. But it is not applied and I don't understand why.
See http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=53873:2 for example
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers in the application at once? I want to have a thousand separator in most cases.

Hello Jacob,
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers
in the application at once? I want to have a thousand
separator in most cases.I am using substitution strings for things like that. You can define some "global" substitution strings on page application definition.
So you just have to put in the format (999G999G999G999G990D00 ) in there once and give it a name. Let's say NUMBER_THOUSAND.
Afterwards you can reference it wherever you need the format e.g. this way:
to_char(10000,'&NUMBER_THOUSAND.').
This way you just have one place where to change the format model.

Tine

MBean Attribute (Does not apply to application modules)

Can any one tell what this mean ?
MBean Attribute (Does not apply to application modules) :
is this means that it wont help for datasources for any J2EE application ????
Inactive Connection Timeout
The number of inactive seconds on a reserved connection before WebLogic Server reclaims the connection and releases it back into the connection pool.
You can use the Inactive Connection Timeout feature to reclaim leaked connections - connections that were not explicitly closed by the application. Note that this feature is not intended to be used in place of properly closing connections.
When set to 0, the feature is disabled.
MBean Attribute (Does not apply to application modules) :
JDBCConnectionPoolParamsBean.InactiveConnectionTimeoutSeconds

Yes!, they do not apply for any applications they are management interfaces, internal to weblogic.
Below is the brief information about it:
A managed bean (MBean) is a Java bean that provides a Java Management Extensions (JMX) interface. JMX is the J2EE solution for monitoring and managing resources on a network.
BEA WebLogic Server provides a set of MBeans that you can use to configure, monitor, and manage WebLogic Server resources through JMX. This reference document organizes WebLogic Server MBeans into the following categories:
MBeanServer Services, which serve as your entry point into navigating the MBean hierarchies. Some of these MBeans contain attributes and operations for managing changes to WebLogic Server configuration MBeans.
Configuration MBeans, which expose attributes and operations for configuring WebLogic Server resources.
Runtime MBeans, which provide information about the runtime state of its resources.
New MBeans, which have been added in the current release of WebLogic Server. These new MBeans are also listed in other categories in this document (for example, new runtime MBeans are also listed under the Runtime MBeans category).
Deprecated MBeans, which are deprecated in the current release of WebLogic Server.
