Problem with dragging/panning images in Lightroom

I installed Lightroom 6 on a few days' old laptop - part of my initial set of intallations, and therefore very much a "clean" machine.
An immediate problem I noticed was in the Develop module. Here, a hand tool enables you to pan round a zoomed-in image which is too big to fit the screen, by clicking and draggging on the touchpad. This works as expected using the touchpad, most of the time. But if you select a tool, the touchpad moves the tool (obviously) and a click implements whatever the tool does (such as spot removal). If, therefore, you wish to pan round an image with a tool selected, you hold down spacebar to bring up the hand tool. You should then be able to click and drag on the touchpad to pan the image around. But this does not work: holding down the spacebar to bring up the hand tool seems to disable dragging or panning with the touchpad.
In case this was a Lightroom 6 bug, I installed Lightroom 5.7.1, but the behaviour there is exactly the same.
If I use an external mouse, there is no problem dragging/panning holding down the left mouse button while the spacebar is depressed. This is a problem only dragging and panning with the touchpad.
I have updated all the drivers, video, touchpad etc. to the very latest versions from the HP website. I have tried using Lightroom at different resolutions (my default is 150% magnification). None of this makes any difference.
It seems to me that htis is likely to be a touchpad driver bug. Has anyone else come across this? More importantly, has anyone come across a solution? It is a very big issue using the spot removal tool on large images - the only way of panning around is to drag on the image in the navigator at the top left, which is hopelessly imprecise.

Did you contact Adobe about this problem as well cause if this problem isn't happening in other software on your laptop then it might be the way Lightroom is configured that is causing the problem?

Problem with Drag and drop in panel dashboard

Hi
I am having problem with drag and drop in panel dashboard.
I will explain what i am doing.
I am using Oracle three column template in First region i am having a table that showing all customer.
I drag one record from my table and drop it on customer info (CIF) page on second region it is working fine.
my CIF page has a dashboard with 6 panel box. i am showing 6 different jsff in 6 panel box.
I put drop target in each jsff
<af:dropTarget dropListener="#{backingBeanScope.backing_customerinformation.handleItemDrop}"
actions="COPY">
<af:dataFlavor flavorClass="org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySet"
discriminant="CustomerSearchDnD"/>
</af:dropTarget>
when i put drop target my panel boxes moves only when i drag it to another panel box header not entire part of panel box.
if i remove the drop target then panel box move normally as the example given on: [http://adfui.us.oracle.com:7778/faces-trunk/faces/visualDesigns/dashboard.jspx?_afrLoop=2021391022520156&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null] but in taht case i am not able to drag and drop my data

You must be an Oracle employee as you're referring to a component in the upcoming JDeveloper version which has yet been released to the general public. Oracle employee's are, I believe, directed to post on internal Oracle forums.

If Image Capture doesn't work you could try the paid for app VueScan ( www.hamrick.com ). You can try it for free in demo mode to see if it works before purchase.

Hi Ciaran19,
Are you sending files from the Adobe Send interface, Adobe Reader, or the Outlook plug-in?
Have you checked to see whether the files that you're sending appear in the Recent Files/Sent Files list when you're logged on to https://cloud.acrobat.com? (It could be that they're uploading, but not being sent.)
It would also be worthwhile to send the files in smaller batches, to see whether a particular file or files is problematic, and causing the error.
Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having trouble, please let us know where you're sending from, and whether you're able to send the files in smaller batches. It would also be helpful to know the exact error message that you're receiving.
Best,
Sara

Problems with dark Artifacts on images when viewed on PC screens???

I have a very urgent problem concerning Adobe Photoshop CS3, my Apple Cinema 20 inch Display and my SpyderPro2 on my Mac Pro Intel Dual Core Xeon 2x 2.66GHz.
I have been using the Spyder for some years now, but recently I have been having big problems with the results. I only use Photoshop CS3 to enhance digital products images.
I have a major contract with a jewellery company in London, where I clean up digital photos. Images that I have lightened up to look great on my Cinema Display have been reported by my client to look pretty dark on their PC's in their offices.
Some of these images show lines and grubby patches??? To check this I opened files in Photoshop and moved the levels 'black' slider down quite some way, and did see evidence of what the client could see at their end? It seems that when I have used a faded eraser brush it leaves a light patch in between the shadows of the jewellery. This shouldn't be visible to the naked eye though?
I must point out that when I use the eyedropper tool on images, to read the amount of grey or colour in the white areas around the peices, I am shown values of 1,2 or 4 maximum in the CMYK values. 4 percent out of 100 is nothing and should not be visible to the naked eye?
How is it that my clients PC's can see dark shadows and where my eraser brush has rubbed out???
I have tried many re-calibrations and also tested all of my older calibrations dating back a few years. I have also tested the same faulty images on Intel iMac's, an eMac, and a few PC's. On the iMac's I can just about make out the artefacts that my client can see, but nothing that I would deem as unacceptable.
I am at a loss as to the fault, but It may be the Spyder2 Pro's inability to calibrate my Apple Cinema display properly? I may lose my contract which I cannot afford to do, and I simply have to find the cause ASAP.
I have my Mac's in my office apartment next to two bay windows. I have vertical blinds there. When calibrating I have always turned off all the lights and pulled the blinds right back so that only the light from the two large window doors is coming in.
For graphic design the calibrations seemed to be okay for quite some time, but recently it is getting harder to achieve good results with the Spyder? This could affect all of my workflow which is very serious. But I must stress that overall the Spyder results are not terrible. I can see good colours and dark levels and in general across all of my calibrated profiles, the jewellery looks acceptable on my Cinema Display?
I did say to my clients that they should calibrate their PC screen properly but their offices have many Screens and they all show the same artefacts (some much worse than others)? I know that PC Screens are darker than Mac's but a 4% grey should not be visible????
As these are a web company the images will be seen by PC users around the world and most of these will have no calibration on their screens. What can be done to prevent this and what is the cause of this? I can't possible please everyone, but as a creative professional I have to be 100% certain that my workflow is at its best.
I need urgent help to solve this or loose valuable business? I hope that you are able to help solve this mystery. Could this possibly be something with Photoshop?
I have just purchased the new Spyder3 Pro which I hope will give perfect results but I have to find out what the cause of this is. If some of the fault lies with the client, I can charge these for all the testing and calibrating I have done.
Kind regards,
Jason Conway

Thanks for all your comments and so quickly.
To be clearer, I am not working in CMYK for image enhancing at all, but windows RGB in photoshop, which is darker than working CMYK or Monitor RGB. I just use the CMYK colour scale in the photoshop colour picker window to see what values are around the object.
its not 4 across all four but on average C4, M2, Y1, K0.
When saving in save for web the images look fine on my screen, pretty much the same as the photoshop tiff file.
Each image has adobe RGB 1998 embedded when saved as a tiff file.
The client looks on internet explorer 7 on their PC's and also within Photoshop.
Colour settings within photoshop are using MacUser magazine's recommended setting from 2006: RGB: Adobe RGB 1998, CMYK: Euroscale Coated V2, Grey: Generic Grey, SPOT: 20% dot gain. Engine: Apple CMM, Intent: Relative Colorimetric. Also Black point compensation and User Dither are checked.
Also the monitor calibration is set at 6500 at 2.2 gamma.
To be clearer about the dark shadowing and the artefacts. When using levels I click on a shadow point to remove all but a slight shadow. Then I sometimes need to use the faded eraser to clean up or lessen the shadow. The image looks fine on my screen, but in the levels window I drag the black pointer about a third of the was across the screen to simulate what the client is seeing on their screen. This is quite a long way to drag the slider. I can sometime see the edges of the image, or white holes where the eraser has been. The lines are areas around the object that have been rubbed out a bit.
I agree that colour values will show on a screen, but the effect of the shadow should be smooth and not clearly visible with an edge?
http://www.ideo-sync.co.uk/p110741.jpg
also p110741.tif
I have uploaded the layered tiff file and the web jpeg to my server, so you can hopefully see something odd?
If there is a problem with my cinema display at least its under warranty, and the new Spyder3 pro should help when it arrives in a few days time.
Hopefully I can pinpoint the exact cause to this and take steps to stop this ever happening again. I am very grateful for your advice and help.
Kind regards,
Jason.

Problems with files opened in Photoshop from Lightroom

Hi,
I started editing a large number of files recently and came upon strange problems when sending files to Photoshop from Lightroom:
1. Sometimes, all edits will be transferred to Photoshop except for the Lens Profile Correction. I tried clearing all changes and starting again, and it didn't work. However, if Lens Profile Correction is the ONLY change I make in Lightroom, it is correctly shown when the file is opened in Photoshop. [EDIT: I thought it was only the Lens Profile Correction, but with some files it appears other edits are disappearing too, such as cropping.]
2. Sometimes, and I can't seem to find any pattern for this, files I sent to Photoshop will open as only "slices" of images. In fact, there is only one sliver of the image that gets opened. Sometimes it is a vertical line, sometimes a horizontal line, usually about 1/20 as thick as it is long. For that problem, I haven't found a solution yet.
I am using the latest versions of Lightroom, Photoshop and Camera Raw, with RAW files created with a Nikon D7000 camera, on an iMac from 2011. I have no software or hardware problems apart from this.
Here's hoping someone can help.
Thanks!

Problem uninstalling Photoshop CC & opening images from Lightroom

I have installed Photoshop CC 2014 on my Windows 7 64 bit PC and want to uninstall the previous CC version. However, when I try to uninstall I get the attached message. I have followed all the instructions and still keep getting this message. I have run the Cleaning Tool but it doesn't list the CC version only the 2014 under Creative Cloud. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I don't need 3 versions of PS on my PC.
My second problem is that when I click on Edit in Photoshop CC 2014, in Lightroom 5.5, it opens Photoshop but the image doesn't appear. It was working initially but for some reason has stopped working.

Im running on the latest version of osx and having the exact same problem with opening files in photoshop cc 2014 from Lightroom. Would be great if someone had a fix for this.

Continual problem with the Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4

The Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4 continually stops functioning correctly - that is any adjustment made using the sliders in the Adjustment Brush panel does not make an adjustment on the image. Normally I would go to Library / Preferences [on my iMac OSX 10.6.8], remove the com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist file and restart Lightroom. However I have gone to Library/Preferences and there is no listing of any Lightroom 3 plist files, nor for that matter any adobe Photoshop CS5 plist files or any adobe Lightroom 4 plist files. I have tried restarting the iMac but to no avail - no help at all! I have no idea how to remedy the situation as I have no idea where the plist files have gone!!!
Incidentally I have a new iMac 27" OSX 10.8 - same problem with the Adjustment Brush there, but so far the plist files haven't disappeared into the ether somewhere!
Help would be appreciated ...
Many thanks

Hi Jussi
I tried changing to the B brush set, and the Adjustment Brush worked OK in there for a while - but now I have the same problem with the B brush set too. It appears to happen instantly - one minute they're working, the next minute they're not!! For example, I was adjusting Brightening using the Adjustment Brush and I literally made an adjustment on one image, then went back into the same image seconds later to make a further Brightening adjustment and the brush wasn't working - well, that is, not unless I pushed the slider to something like 160 and then I got minimal adjustment!!! I am becoming increasingly frustrated .. I have literally worked for months with no problems, now it's almost every day!!

Problem with Drag and drop manager

I am noticing that the sample provided at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=dragdrop_7.html is not working when tried on any version of FireFox browser on a Mac OS version 10.6.3.
So my understanding is that there seems to be some problem with the drag and drop manager in Flex when used on Firefox on a Mac OS version 10.6.3.
It will be very helpful if you can provide any work around for this issue. We want to implement the drag and drop feature in a website that we are building for one of our clients.

Problem with drag and drop

Hi! I'm having a problem with getting this code working, basically I want to drag and drop two things onto another the things dissapear then it moves onto a new page, the first item works properly but then the second item wont dissapear and remains stuck to the cursor. Heres the code I'd be greatful of any help.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
stop();
Back6_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBack6Click)
function onBack6Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay("Bedroom2");
    Forward6_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onForward6Click)
function onForward6Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay('Brother bit');
var inGran:Number=0;
Gin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragOn);
Tonic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragOn);
function dragOn(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(false);
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragOff);
function dragOff(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    if (event.target.dropTarget!=null&&event.target.dropTarget.parent==Gran) {
        event.target.visible=false;
        inGran++;
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragOff);
function checkPage(e:Event):void {
    if (inGran==2) {
        gotoAndPlay("Bedroom1");

you have some mismatched brackets, change your target properties to currentTarget (and i'm not sure you're dropping onto the correct target) but, try:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
stop();
Back6_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBack6Click)
function onBack6Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay("Bedroom2");
    Forward6_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onForward6Click)
function onForward6Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay('Brother bit');
var inGran:Number=0;
Gin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragOn);
Tonic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragOn);
function dragOn(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.parent.addChild(event.currentTarget);
    event.target.startDrag(false);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragOff);
function dragOff(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    if (event.target.dropTarget!=null&&event.target.dropTarget.parent==Gran) {
        event.target.visible=false;
        inGran++;
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragOff);
function checkPage(e:Event):void {
    if (inGran==2) {
        gotoAndPlay("Bedroom1");

How do I fix problem with linked and cropped image frames not printing properly when spanning pages?

We are using InDesign (ID) to develop and print church bulletins which contain a combination of text frames and graphics. One of the graphic types we use are TIF files which are high-resolution scans of hymns.
A hymn usually has a combination of the musical score, plus the lyrics - with many verses., so the modular structure is 'staff' composed of a treble clef, followed by verses, followed by a base clef.
If the example above had 6 verses instead of one, we would crop the image by adjusting the frame, so that the treble clef and the desired verses showed through the frame.
We would then copy and link the frame - piggy back - adjusting the next content window etc....so we build a custom version of the music as a series of linked frames - each with the same base image, but a different frame position.
So this works fine, when we do this on a single page, but when we then add a 'last staff' at the top of the following page, we encounter print problems with some output devices.
Imagine a two-page spread, with a full page of music on the left, and the last staff (treble clef, verses, base clef) unit as a separately linked frame at the top of the right page of the spread.
It displays correctly, and will print individually as pages correctly, but when we print it as a booklet, the last frame drops out and we have blank space.
I can print the document to PDF and it works fine, but if I print it to a copier or laser printer I get drop out.
It is inconsistent.
Previews are always okay. Individual page prints are okay, but when you print the entire document, the last frame in this kind of linked series gets blanked.
If we create and name the image differently, and call it in as a new image - (not linked to the previous), but it is still a large image that is cropped to a small piece, then it doesn't print.
If we save the last frame as a different image type (take the TIFF file into photoshop, crop it and save it as a jpg - so it is only the 'snippet') and then import it, it works fine.
So my question to you InDesigners....is there some setting or tip or trick I need to know to be able to link a series of frames with the same base image, but different crops and make it span across two pages properly.
Or do we need to play this game of crop and trim the image so that it doesn't drop out?
Any thoughts, advice, direction would be gratefully received!

I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
So I would suggest: Open your files in Photoshop, resave them as PSD files and use those instead. If you use 1-bit images (which is fine for this type of images) you should use a resolution equal to the printer's resolution.

Problem with Drag & Drop and multiselection in tables

Hi,
we have a problem concerning drag and drop and multiselection in tables. It is not possible to drag a multiselection of table rows, as the selection event is recognized or handled before the drag event. So before the drag starts, the selection will be changed and only a single row is selected at the position where you started the drag with a mouse click.
There was also a java bug with the id 4521075 regarding this problem a couple of years ago. See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4521075.
This bug has been resolved but in our application we have not enabled drag by setting setDragEnabled(true) on the table as we have an own implementation of a DragSource (which is the table component), and a DragGestureRecognizer to control mimetype and data to be dragged.
So my question is: Is there any solution for this case without calling setDragEnabled(true) on the table? Or is it possible to enable drag on the table and override some method where the drag recognition happens and the transferable object is created?
Thanks,

Thanks for reply,
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) user clicks the ascending sorting icon in the table(the button get disabled after sorting the table).
2) After sorting user drag and drop some row over another row.
3) Now the table is no longer sorted.
4) If user again wants to sort the table now, he cannot do it because the sorting button is still disabled.
So I want the user to sort the table again, without refreshing the page
Thanks and Regards,
Tarun

CS2 problem with 5D MKII RAW files from Lightroom 2.2

Ok, this one is weird. I have tried it on two different computers with the same resulting problem. If I convert a full size RAW 5D MkII to Tiff in the new Lightroom 2.2, then bring it into CS2 and covert it to 8-bit and try to save as JPG, it always comes up with a program error. I tried an sRAW file with the same process and it worked fine.
Just to make sure I did have something else messed up, I converted in DPP to tiff and then went to CS2 and saved as JPG just fine.
Anyone else try this and see a problem? Looks like it's a combination of a problem with the new Lightroom, plus CS2.
It almost seems like CS2 doesn't have enough memory to convert the file to jpeg. I have had this program error before in CS2, but with much larger files. The 5D MKII should not overrun memory.

This is a known bug in CS2 where it trips up because of the (valid) metadata written by Lightroom. You need to delete the xmp metadata written by Lightroom from the file before saving as jpg or export from lIghtroom with minimize metadata checked.
