Previews change one file import has finished

I started with LR 1.0 and now have LR 2.2, however, I have never seen this happen before. When I import my RAW files, the previews show up correctly in the library module. Once the import has finished, the previews start to change one by one as if LR is updating them. Each preview becomes overexposed with increased noise...not a lot of noise but an increased amount. If I export the RAW files as a jpeg, I get a file that is overexposed with inscreased noise!
When I look at the exact same RAW file using Faststone Image View or Bibble, the previews are fine and look like the RAW file! If I export using these packages, the JPEG files look fine as well. So, what am I doing wrong in LR 2.2? My monitor resolution is 1680 dpi. Therefore, I have the preview option set to "1680, High" for the rendering. I might also add that the overexposure and increased noise are also seen in the Develope module which says it has rendered it to 1:1. I am using a 2.3GHz computer with 2GB of RAM. My camera is a SONY A700. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

You should make sure you turn off auto-tone in the preferences and to reset any camera defaults you might have defined. Also make sure you are not applying a preset on import.

Want to view one file in TimeMachine

I changed one file by mistake this morning. Its an XCode Class file. I want to go look at the code I had before. I just did a time machine backup yesterday.
Can I look at the file in TM without restoring it to my macbook air? I just want to see the old version because I think I fixed the mistaken-change on my current one. I just want to look at the old backed-up version and make sure.

You can do this with some files. Go to the folder that the file was saved, open Time Machine, navigate to the backup and double-click that file. If it doesn't show, restore this file

Downloading and burning Linux or Windows ISO images for example with a single flipped bit can cause system instability nearly impossible to track down, and not otherwise detectable. An MD5 checksum (OR SHA) check will quickly detect any such transmission errors. Not something anyone I know bothers to use unless it's important data. The temporary fix of changing the about:config setting, then expanding to full screen in downloads was working. But now, based on my interpretation of comments made on the authors Sourceforge page, Firefox has made updates that prevent the MD5 Reborned Hasher from working in Firefox at all. If that's true, I would really like to know the reason. With all this talk of NSA spying, I would think more people would be interested in making sure someone isn't tampering with their downloads. I have no idea. But I do believe the wonderful volunteers at Firefox need to figure out a way to make this valuable piece of security software whole again. Thank You.
PS: For those needing to verify a file, you might want to try the "Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier" kb841290 . It's old, but does large file MD5 from a command prompt.

Preview Changes File to 72 dpi upon opening

Hi,
I have a file that's 3300x4200 pixels at 300 dpi (so it would print as an 11"x14" print on a 300 dpi printer). The file size is too large to upload to the print on demand website that I'm trying to upload it too. My plan was to open it in Preview, reduce the dpi slightly so that it could still be printed very large, but I could get the file size just under the upper limit for the website. However, whenever I open this file in Preview and go to Adjust Size, it shows that the image is 72 dpi. When I open the same exact file in Adobe Illustrator, it registers as 300 dpi. If I try and change the dpi in Preview (to say, 250), it will change it, but then tell me that it cannot save the file. I really don't understand why it's opening as 72 dpi to begin with when I exported it from Illustrator at 300 dpi and when I open it in Illustrator again it's still 300 dpi, but in Preview it opens as 72 dpi.
I can just use Illustrator to export it again at a lower dpi, but I would still like to know why Preview is doing this and how I can make it stop. I have used Preview in the past to open 300 dpi files and they opened just fine as 300 dpi files.
Thanks

Is this in Illustrator file you created as vector art, or does it contain an embedded raster image?
If the former, vector art has no resolution at all. It's a construct of mathematical points, curves and fills. That's why such files and fonts (which are created the same way) are considered resolution independent. When you open your Illustrator file in Preview, it is assigned a generic "resolution" of 72, but is entirely meaningless unless you save the file out of Preview in a raster format such as TIFF or JPEG.
If the latter, why would you embed a raster image in a vector art layout? Unless you have both types of components in the art (in which case an Illustrator document is the only way to go), it should have been created in Photoshop or other raster image editor and saved in a raster format. If it is a blend of vector and raster art, then easiest way to send out the final Illustrator file out is as a PDF, so the raster and vector art stay in their respective formats, but are then blended all into one file type.
The page Old Toad linked to has numerous errors regarding DPI. Right off the top, it's a mistake to declare the image of the house as having no difference. The web doesn't give a hoot about any type of image resolution. The number of pixels in the height and width is all it cares about (as does video production).
So to say there's no difference is wrong. Of course there's a difference. Not on the web page since it's only displaying the images but their pixel count, but if you print both of them independently of the web page, you wouldn't be able to miss it. The 1000 DPI file would print as a spec, and the 72 DPI file larger than what it looks like on your monitor. The resolution tells the printer, or other output device how many pixels to use in a linear inch (DPI) or centimeter (DPC).
There are other errors on the page I don't have time to get into.

Save multiple files opened in Preview as one combined document

Is there a simple way to save multiple files, opened concurrently in Preview, as one document? The situation is that I opened all my on-line, pdf, monthly cell phone invoice files for 2012 at once, and want to save them in one file as "Cell invoices 2012."
Even though Preview shows them as one file with 12 booklets in the Sidebar, I can't see a way to save them as one big file.
Thanks!

Jeffrey and Karen ... I've used Preview for years but recently upgraded to OS Snow Leopard (I am reluctant to change software!). I used to freely drag and drop pages from the sidebar one pdf file open in Preview to the sidebar of another - as you recommend - without problem. Now if I do that, the caption in the bar at the top of the document says "2 documents, 5 (or whatever) open pages", and I can't save the whole thing as one document - Preview wants to save the tranferred pages as their own document. What has changed? What am I not understanding here?

What the **** is the matter with Preview? No changes to files keep.

Rotate an image to proper orientation, hit save, then it bounces back to the original orientation. Also can't use quick keys ie.: command+R or L to change orientation; have to go to toolbar menu every time scroll down and select an action 1 at a time. I can't believe there's not a fix for this yet. I don't want to import albums of photos into iphoto every time I want to do edits. A basic orientation change is sometimes all i want to do- and I don't want every album or group of photos to be in my iphoto library just to do a simple edit. This problem has been around for a while- why hasn't it been addressed? If it's not in the preview- could it be something in my machine causing allocation problems?

When you say "it bounces back to the original orientation," do you mean immediately, or when you try to use it somewhere after you think it's been saved in its new orientation?
Ran across this myself recently. Preview changes rotation/orientation for display only; it's not really permanently modifying the file itself. These are from the Tiger Forum, but same issue.

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

Can you track a form if the file name has been changed after distribution?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro -- I then used the distribute feature and sent the form to myself using the internal server. After testing the form, and making sure all was good, I copied the attachment from the email I received when I distributed the form to myself, and sent it to my boss (via outlook). He then changed the file name, and sent the form out to our members. Our members are completing this newly-changed document instead of the original form. They are able to "Submit The Form", and it still looks as though its coming back to me via the dialogue box. However, I have no received any responses in my original document's tracking. When I tried submitting this new form myself to see what happened, I just received an message that says "Your response is being queued for submission", but it never tells you whether the form was actually submitted or not. Is there any way that you can track this form even though the file name has been changed? And if people are submitting their forms to me, where are they going?
Please help!
thanks,

I understand that you don't want to redo all the linking with the markers. You can try following (make a copy of your project first to be safe) :
- close your project and quit DVDSP
- move your old asset, and replace it with the new one
- reopen your project
A warning message should tell you that this asset has changed, but your marker will remain at old position. If the asset length are not the same, old length information will be used by DVDSP. To correct this, delete the asset from the timeline, and drop it back to the timeline.
Now you just have to move the marker to the right position.

I have a file it has a Hold - There are a number of holds in the hold list how do i find out which one this file has

Hi
I have a file which has a Hold.
However, It could be one of a number of Holds as defined by the Holds list. How do I (ideally in PowerShell) find out which hold is being used to hold the file and how can I remove that Hold from the file so I can change it and re-apply the hold ?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to remove Hold from the file.
If an item has been added to more than one hold, you can view the list of holds that pertain to that by using the Compliance Details command.
Open the list or library that contains the item for which you want to view the hold information.
Point to the item that you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click Compliance Details.
On the Compliance Details dialog, click Add/Remove from hold.
On the Hold Status page, click the arrow under the Remove from hold option to view a list of holds the item is associated with.
You can use the Compliance Details command to remove an individual item from a hold.
Open the list or library that contains the item that you want to remove from a hold.
Point to the item that you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click Compliance Details.
In the Hold Status section, click Add/Remove from a hold.
On the Item Hold Status page, select the Remove from hold option and then select the hold from which you want to release the item.
Click Save.
For more information, you can refer to:
Create a hold to suspend documents or items

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

Changed DivX codec - now all DivX files give 'file importer detected inconsistency ... '

Okay, so I've upgraded to DivX 7 - or so I thought (still says 6.8.5), long story short, NONE of my previously input DivX encoded avis work in Premiere anymore (Pro CS4). I get a message "File importer detected an inconsistency in th efile structure of ...avi. Reading and writing of the file's metadata (XMP has been disabled."
They work in external media players, but anything in Premiere seems broken. I've spent WEEKS on this movie and haven't the slightest clue how to fix it. I feel like vomitting because this is for work and I can't figure this out.
I'm desperate, PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for the answers. I did a system restore to before I changed the DivX stuff and it seems to work again.
But I hate editing these files. I think I will take up the advice to convert and replace. But question - when I replace the files in the 'Project area', will it replace all of the pieces connected to that with the correct timing in the timeline?
I would think it would, but I just want to check.
Yes; If you replace the clip in the project panel; it will replace it every palce it was used on the timeline in any sequence.
If you rwplace the clip ON the timeline, it only replaces that clip.

Just tried to import CD in my iTunes music library, but get this error code "error occurred while converting file. You do not have the privilege to make changes"....any thoughts? Have not tried to change anything- only import CD ??

Do you have read& write permissions to your iTunes library?

HT1347 I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke. iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode. One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3

I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke. iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode. One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3. iTunes sorts them by month/day/year. How can I fix that?

The weird thing is, it worked before. I encoded all the videos previously and had them all listed and didn't encounter this problem, but I noticed I'd forgotten to decomb/detelecine the videos so I deleted everything and re-encoded it all. AFter filling the tags out and setting poster frames again I was thinking of making life easier by just pasting the same artwork for every episode, so I did, but didn't like the results so I deleted it again (I selected every video, used Get Info and pasted the artwork that way).
I think it was after this that the problem started to occur. In any case I've been through every episode and made sure the name, series, episode and episode id fields are all filled in with incremental values and they are. I even made sure the Sort Name field was filled in on every video. But this didn't work either.
So, thinking another restart was needed I deleted every video again. Re-encoded them all, again. Set the tags for every video and poster frame again. Finished it all off nicely, checked cover flow and was highly annoyed to find it was STILL showing the same two pieces of art work for every video as shown in that image I posted.
Ultimately, I wouldn't care so much that cover flow is screwing up like this as I always intended to sort by program anyway so it would only ever display one piece of artwork for an entire series of videos, however where-as when it was working it picked the artwork for the first episode of a series to display, its instead picking one of the latter episodes. I can't seem to find any way of choosing what artwork I want displayed.

Lightroom is not saving metadata. I have done several things to save and I still get the tag that states is is not saved. I have also created 2 smart collections. One showing metadata has been changed and one showing metadata is not up to date. No matter what I do it is not showing in LR that it is saved. I spent 2 days with Seth Resnick trying to correct this and we re created my catalog. It was ok, until I imported new images and same problem. Now I have a new problem, when I bring image to PS it saves it but does not bring back to LR. Am I the only one out there who has this problem?
