Puzzled by "negative files" in v1.1 "Export as Catalog"

I've been exploring the new features in v.1.1, and have found something I'm
puzzled by. When I go to File/Export as Catalog, there is an option called
"Export negative files", which will include duplicates of the original image files
in the exported catalog, be they raw, dng, jpg or whatever. I'm confused by
the use of the word "negative" here. I originally thought it was an oblique way
of saying that any image exported with a catalog would be converted to DNG
(Digital Negative), but now it seems that the intent is to use "negative file" to
mean an original digital photo file in a way analogous to how a film negative
can be an original of a photo in film-based photography.
Isn't there a better way of phrasing this instead of "negatives"? I know we're
now "developing" digital photos in the Lightroom instead of developing film
in a darkroom, but another film analogy in this instance in this instance
seems unnecessary and confusing.
Just wondering what others think of this. Personally, it's no big deal to me since
I figured out what "Export negative files" meant by playing with it, but the naming
of features in Lightroom and in Camera Raw is so elegant in general (e.g. Vibrance,
Clarity, Recovery, etc.) that this was a surprise.

Agreed.
"Include original files" would be much clearer.
Specially since digital files feel more like transparencies (slides)
than 'negatives'.
At least they didn't try to be really cute and call it "Export slide
files" and have us all really scratching our heads in confusion.

Export as Catalog unresponsive

For some reason I am no longer able to export information to new Catalogs. I choose a folder in the Folders panel and go to File / Export as Catalog... and then nothing happens. No error message, no activity, no nothing.
After purging the preferences file I managed to export one catalog before the function hid itself again. After reinstalling LR 2.1 from scratch (although I did not clean the Windows Registry) I was allowed to export another three catalogs.
Has anyone else experienced this? I don't know where to look for errors.
I'm running LR 2.1 in a Win XP Professional environment.

Photo files are missing usually implies that you have moved or renamed or deleted the photos (or the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom. In particular, there may be an excalamation point icon on the photo indicating it is missing, or a question mark icon on a folder, indicating it is missing.
To fix the problem, you need to locate the photos in your operating system, and then follow these instructions to reconnect in Lightroom: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

LR was unable to export the catalog's previews and negatives

My first posting in this forum. I want to remove everything from my iMac in order to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard, then reload back. First job is to 'Export as Catalog' all my pics (around 6000) from the Mac to an external hard drive (Maxtor One Touch 4Plus, 450 GB available). I've tried 6 or 7 times and every time get a similar message - see Subject line. I've deleted unnecessary folders, gotten rid of unused keywords, and exported 2000 odd of my earlier photos as JPEGS to archive to reduce the volume. I've reloaded LR and updated to 2.6. And in the Export dialogue box I've ticked 'Export Negative Files' and 'Include Available Previews'. The export gets to about three quarters of the way through each time before I get the error message and I have to abort.
Appreciate any assistance.

Is ALL PHOTOS included in your LR folder hierarchy? If it is not, then you need to right-click (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) on one of the folders in your LR hierarchy, and choose Include Parent Folder. Once you've done that, and copied everything over, you can just Locate Missing Folder on that one top folder and it'll find everything underneath it. If you don't have the parent folder in LR before you copy, you'd have to do Locate Missing Folder on each of the top-level folders.
Once you've copied your photos over, you can rename your local copy of ALL PHOTOS to make sure you're not accidentally finding it, then do the Locate Missing Folder to make sure it works on the Remote Location.
Once you're satisfied your catalog is seeing all the remote photos, and when you're ready, copy your catalog and your previews and backup folders over, and rename the local copy of the Lightroom so you won't accidentally open that copy of the catalog, again. I would copy things, instead of moving them, in case something happens you can start over.
If you are going to immediately upgrade your mac, then copy all three folder, other than the iChat ones, from Pictures to your remote drive and open the remote catalog and find missing folders all in one shot. I suggest doing only the photos, first, in case you want to continue working on the photos, the local copy of the catalog will be faster, but if you're ready to upgrade then just do all the copies at once. The ALL PHOTOS and the previews will be the time-consuming copies, the catalog, itself, won't take very long.

File does not exist: /export/home/oracle/orahtml/marvel/images/spacer.gif

Seeing this error in the apache log:
File does not exist: /export/home/oracle/orahtml/marvel/images/spacer.gif
I know there are spacer.gif files under the theme folders but why is it looking for a spacer.gif file in the images folder? Is this a bug?

Hello,
Yes I just checked it's a problem with theme 9 there are a couple of places where the theme calls #IMAGE_PREFIX#spacer.gif when it should call #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/spacer.gif
There are two ways for you to fix this
1. Copy themes/theme_9/spacer.gif to the top level images directory, I recommend this one because then if someone creates the theme from the repository again it wont' come up agian.
2. Change all #IMAGE_PREFIX#spacer.gif to #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/spacer.gif in theme 9, if you export the theme you can just us a search and replace the export to do this and then reapply the theme.
This as been bugged and will get fixed in future version.

I have converted my pdf files to docx files using the Adobe Export PDF but when I drag my converted files to Word there is no text, just blank pages.

I am really new to Adobe and Creative Cloud and its logic so I hope someone can help me understand it. My objective is to get my scanned PDF docs converted to text document files so I can open and edit in Word.
I have scanned my documents into a pdf format. I then dropped the pdf file into my Adobe Export from PDF. It exported and converted them to docx files just fine. When I click on the created docx file I have the correct number of pages but they are completely blank. I don't have any converted text. Am I missing a step? I have also dropped these files into my Word with the same result.

Are you still experiencing a problem with Adobe Send? We inadvertently introduced a problem earlier today (now fixed), but you reported your issue was last night.
Anyway, can you check again?

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Write xmp sidecar files without need to export masters - script

I've written a script to write xmp sidecar files for referenced and online images (the 2 conditions in the script) of the selected images. I looked for a while at system events and other stuff to be able to write the xmp file, but i'm not a programmer, so in the end i chose the long and dirty way to do it.
This script will export all iptc expanded fields as aperture does (creating basically the same file). It can be easily adjusted to include other tags, even custom ones. I don't know how to get at the adjustments for images, otherwise those could be included as well.
If anyone has the energy to clean this up and make it faster, feel free to do so. Next, I'm going to try to write a script to do the opposite, import xmp sidecars for imported online and referenced files.
Here it goes (thanks to Brett Gross for the database part to find the master filename):

Excellent stuff!
I don't know how to get at the adjustments for images, otherwise those could be included as well.
They are stored as binary data in the Version XML files at the bottom level of the Library package. You can also have a look around in the ZRKIMAGEADJUSTMENT table, but again the actual settings for each adjustment are in binary form.
If anyone has the energy to clean this up and make it faster, feel free to do so.
As far as I can remember, Aperture uses the 'proper' IPTC tag names when accessing them via AppleScript, so you may be able to do a loop through all the IPTC tags for each image, rather than picking out each specific one. But that would need checking. The EXIFTools site is a good place to find out about the different ways that IPTC data can be described.
Next, I'm going to try to write a script to do the opposite, import xmp sidecars for imported online and referenced files.
Don't rush unless you feel like it - I've already started planning out a free (as in beer and speech) XMP importer with a GUI so that you can choose how to map the XMP CORE tags that don't exist in Aperture. You've given me an extra idea, though - if we can decide on a set of custom tags, my importer could map the XMP CORE tags to them and your exporter could export those tags.
Thanks for the work!
Ian
P.S. I'll check through your script tomorrow, some of the database tables changed between 1.5.6 and 2.0, so you might need to add in a version check to be really thorough.

SoundStudio audio faded file not fading in exported QT file.

Since Keynote has no ability to manipulate audio very well, I went into Sound Studio and created the audio clip I needed with a 5 second end fade out. Saved the file and dropped it onto the audio holder area in Inspector. The file fades perfectly in SS, but when when exported to QT, the file just cuts abruptly with no fade.
I also noticed that when dragging a sound file off the audio holder box to the trash, then dragging a new file onto it, when exporting to QT I will frequently get two sound files, one over the other. Keynote doesn't seem to "trash" the file when it is dragged off the Inspector properly.
Any ideas? TIA.
G5 Dual

Jody, are the files being exported from Sound Studio regular MP3 or AIFF files? And do they fade properly in other applications (for example, if you use the preview pane in the Finder to play them, or drag them into iTunes)?
This issue seems to me more likely to be a Sound Studio problem than one involving Keynote. You might try using an application like the free Audacity to fade a test file, and see if that works in Keynote.
Although I don't know the application, my guess is that Sound Studio is somehow overlaying volume information on top of the raw sound files, information that is not getting exported to the final MP3/AIFF file.

Trying to open file in photoshop elements, only first option available in Edit Photo window. The other two has "Edit a Copy is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files" same for Edit Original.

Brand new user to Lightroom 5. Was following tutorials and doing fine editing. After done editing NEF files, I'm trying to open them in PSE 11 to further edit. Using the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor". But the window only has the first option available and the other two grayed out. Each of those has "...is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files." What??

sorry, no can do...ain't gonna happen.
What you've done is hit the wall on is the basic difference between lite duty spot healing and photo level tone and color correction (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and heavy duty pixel retouching in Photoshop.
When you need to substantially manipulate the "pixels" you need Photoshop and you'll be forced to render the raw file into a TIFF or PSD file either through Camera Raw or more better, via Lightroom.
You can do the basic tone and color correction directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED to create and save out a "rendered" image that is no longer raw...then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in Lightroom along side your original raw if you choose.
But no, there's no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with massive retouching then save that back out as a raw file...ain't gonna happen.

Revised file will now not export all content

We have successfully created a book containing text and graghics and exported a pdf file to a publisher for review. The publisher accepted the pdf and sent us a proof copy. After adding another layer of background to most of the pages of the original file that was successfully exported, we now have several pictures that will not show up on the revised exported pdf. These pictures appear to have all the correct link data and were exported in the original copy sent to the publisher. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. We have tried relinking. We have tried recreating the page. We have re-placed all the photos to make sure they were linking properly... as in when you first put a picture in you "place" it and I have re-done that at least twice. I have created a few different effects on some of the pages that are not displaying the pictures such as adding a basic feather to the outside edge. No rhyme or reason as to why they are not showing up... these same things have been done to other pages with no problem. I have looked at the display about the page and checked links and transparency and compared the pages that won't show up with the pages that do show up... I cannot tell any difference.
Please advise what to do... I am at a loss and this last little bump in the road is really holding up my work!!
I am wondering if it is adviseable to totally recreate all the pages again in a new file? I would just copy and paste the current pages into the new file. Would this work at all?
Thank you so much...
I appreciate your expertise in this matter!
Sincerely,

Do the images that don't show in the PDF show n ID when you use Preview Mode?
What colro mode are the images, and are you viewing the PDF in Acrobat, reader, or some other viewer?

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

because you are exporting the original?
SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
how are you exporting?
Remember we are users just like you - not psychics

CS5.0.3 Temp files on C during export even with scratch as E

I have a small project that uses alot of Photoshop files as graphics templates. I thought that because I set my scratch disks to "E" that whenever I would export, it would use "E" as my temp location for any temp files generated/needed during exporting. But for some reason, my exports have been crashing because I'm running out of room on my C drive during the export. I discovered that during exports, there are several Photoshop TEMP files being created on my C drive - each like 3 GB, eventually filling up my C drive. (I confirmed that I set the export render location to E) After the render/export, these Photoshop TEMP files disappear on C. Is this expected behavior? Is there something obvious I can do to make sure all files go to a separate drive? Thanks!

Adobe like many other applications use the Windows Variable Temp directory for cache files. As an example, if you export out of Premiere and select the queue to media encoder, it will show the C drive instead of the drive where the media is actually located with the Project file. That is because the source that media encoder is seeing is that Windows Variable Temp directory. You can change that by creating a Folder on the E drive called Temp. Then right click on Computer and go to properties. Select Advanced Settings on the Left and then Environment Variables on the bottom of that panel. You will see 2 Temp files and locations listed at the top of the Environment Variables Panel. Select edit and then type or copy/paste in the location of the temp directory created on another drive. Example - E:\Temp
Restart Windows and then the Variable cache should be moving to that directory. Keep in mind that Windows uses those for allot of things. So if that drive is removed or fails you will take a very long time to boot and it will boot with errors.

You can not change it on the export...this is simply set to whatever is in effect in the DB.
However, it is totally unnecessary to change it on export. If the database into which you need to import the exported application is "ISO-8859-1 - Europa Ocidental", at the time you begin to import, it will default to "ISO-8859-1 - Europa Ocidental". You need to change this to the character set under which it was exported. In this case, it was "Unicode UTF-8".
It does not matter that you export and import in the same character set. It only matters that you correctly set the import to match how it was exported.

If there is handwritten content in your PDF then ExportPDF can't convert that to word.

I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

Which version of Acrobat?
What app are you printing from?
Which version of Mac or Windows?
Do these seem to be normal PDF documents - but just blank pages? How many blank pages?
