Question Lightroom Export Original

I am using Lightroom 4.1 on a Mac 10.7 Lion. I have been exporting Originals (CR2) for a while (and seeing the original Edited version in Finder). Recently (last couple of dayst), I no longer see the edits in the image in Finder but see the original photo only. I get the changes when I import / input the photos into Lightroom or Elements (using the XMP process where I see the original and then the changes). I do not understand why I no longer see the original with Edits in Finder/. When I use JPEG or TIFF I see the changes immediately. This is a real pain because I am Exporting a large number of photos and have to check everyone to make sure they have been Exported properly. I don't think I changed anything (famous last words) but must have change a parameter / preset accidently. I even tried using Lightroom 3 with the same results (seeing only the original not original + Edits in finder).
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks Tom Nash

Can I now export some of the photos from Lightroom so that the file that comes out is in the same/different file format (e.g. JPEG/TIFF/DNG) and have the Lightroom modification data embedded (perhaps in the EXIF data) of the exported file?
Yes, but you should not export. Just hit Ctrl/Cmd+S to Save Metadata. the metadata will be embedded into the files. Note that the actual image will not be altered. That is, if you view the jpeg in an external viewer you will not see the adjustments made in Lightroom. Only Adobe products can interpred those.
Can I then open this with a 'normal' program and have it show the original?
Yes.
Can I then open this with Lightroom/Photoshop (?) and it show the original with the modification data applied?
Yes. When you open in Photoshop and it's a non-RAW file (e.g. JPEG or TIFF), there's an option somewhere in Camera RAW to be used for opening non-RAWs. The point is, those have to pass through Camera RAW, rather than opened directly in Photoshop, for metadata to be interpreted properly.

Lightroom export - original file with Lightroom modification data

Hello, hello!
I have imported a folder of, for arguments sake, some JPEGs, TIFFS, and DND photos into Lightroom, leaving the files in place, and just linking them to the Lightroom Catalogue's Library. I have then made a whole load of 'modifications' to the photos in Lightroom (the data for these modifications is stored in the Lightroom Catalogue file, right?).
Can I now export some of the photos from Lightroom so that the file that comes out is in the same/different file format (e.g. JPEG/TIFF/DNG) and have the Lightroom modification data embedded (perhaps in the EXIF data) of the exported file?

Again, ask the question of export parameter.

Again, ask the question of export parameter.
I wrote a java version transformation and it worked good with export parameter.
However I can not work it out in graphical message mapping. I refered http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/c3e1fa6c31599ee10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm.
In PI7.1, I add an export parameter "EXPORT_PARA" in the "Signature" tab. Are there any special step to assign this parameter to an UDF? I did not find a way to do it.
And then I define an UDF,
public String SetExportPara(String sss, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
String str = "GOOD";
GlobalContainer gc = container.getGlobalContainer();
OutputParameters paras= gc.getOutputParameters();
if(paras.exists("EXPORT_PARA ") == true) {
paras.setString("EXPORT_PARA ", str);
}else {
str = "NOT FOUND EXPORT_PARA";
return str;
And I assign this UDF to one element of my output XML, I tried to run it in IE, it always output "NOT FOUND EXPORT_PARA.
why?????

Lightroom export order

I am exporting a set of wedding pictures to a file. In Lightroom I have moved a number of pictures around so that they are in chronological order. When I export the pictures end up in their original order. I guess they are in numerial sequence. Any suggestion in preventing LR5 from resequencing the pictures?

You need to make the sequence number the prefix, so files are named:
001 my first file.x
002 my seond file.y
etc.
Lightroom exports in order (first one first, second one second, and last one last), but the device you're using to view them (e.g. OS) is displaying via alphabetical order, or can.
So the prefix assures alphabetic order is same as exported order, and hence same as order in Lightroom.

Lightroom Export Presets Missing!

I have tried the restore presets under preferences and doing a repair as an installation option but neither restored Lightrooms presets. I am using V2.6. Any ideas on how I get the Lightroom export presets?

I assume that "OP" is slang for "other person."
I am experiencing two problems:
1. Firstly I am missing presets
a. By presets I mean
                a. keyword presets,
                b. filter presets, and
                c. custom develop presets.
b. "Just missing presets" constitutes a great deal of effort for me, and it should be for you, since it's an issue that has been raised since to LR 2 and has been raise in CS4 as well.
2. I've also lost all my watermarks and am unable to recreate watermarks that actually appear on export files.
For the record I am using LR 3.2 64 bit beta with Windows 7 64 bit
I've been using them for months.
This problem occured yesterday for the first time.
I have backedup, as recommended by LR, several times.
Restores have not helped.
There have not been any recent system updates.
The only plug-in I use is the export to zenfolio.
The watermark problem is not related to the zenfolio plug-in, I have the same issue exporting to hard disk without the plug-in.
The watermark editor does not show the choosen graphic as it last time I checkede (several days ago.)
I don't understand why keysets are not part of the backup...
Are they not part of the catelog?
Feel free to ask me all the questions you want, but please help me resolve this issue.

How to remove watermarks from images which have been inadvertently applied via the Lightroom Export function? [was: Help!]

I put a watermark on a photo in Lightroom 5 and exported it to a file. I then had another group of images which I exported and they all had the watermark on them and I can't get rid of the watermark

Export the photos again, but in the Lightroom Export dialog box, remove the check next to Watermark

Lightroom Export Action and Automator

Hi. Have an interesting anamoly that I hope someone an explain to me. I am trying to leverage Adobe Lightroom's export preset post-processing option to help in importing photos into iPhoto (where I can make easy use of the .mac photocasts). I created an Automator workflow comprised of the following actions: 1) Get Specified Finder items (with the export folder from Lightroom selected) 2) Get Folder Contents 3) Import Photos into iPhoto (with the delete source option selected).
I placed the Automator app, named "Import to iPhoto" into the Lightroom "Export Actions" folder and selected it in the post-processing drop down in my export preset. When exporting from this preset, the file(s) are exported as expected, however, for some reason the Automator action imports duplicate files into iPhoto for each photo exported. If the photos are exported separately without the post-processing export action, and then the Automator action is run manually, there are no duplicate files imported. Does anybody have any ideas what might be occuring here?

Exporting original from photo booth

From what I could find export original is to export an image without the effect, correct?
Why is an 4 image file in photo booth not allowed to select export original then?

From what I could understand, you took at 4 photo picture and want to export it without the effect. This is an Apple limitation which we have no control over (we do not work for Apple). I suggest retaking the photo without the effect. That is the best I can do. Sorry.

Lightroom Export Color Shift

Exported JPEGs from Lightroom have a significant color shift from how they appear inside LR and PS3, which is a distinct magenta shift and oversaturation.
I have read a number of related posts here and elsewhere that explain the importance of setting up color management correctly in Windows, LR and PS3. I have done my best to follow all this advice and still cannot export usable JPEGs from Lightroom. I am using a Spyder 3 and have carefully profiled my Dell 2408WFP monitor. I am processing RAW images from a Canon 30D into sRGB JPEGs for web viewing, and have set up LR to export sRGB while PS3 is set to the sRGB working space.
I have also read that Internet Explorer and other color-unmanaged applications will display images differently. I understand this, but then it seems to me that every image I view inside Windows Picture Viewer or Internet Explorer on this computer would have the same oversaturation and magenta shift that my Lightroom exports do, but this is not the case. Also, my Lightroom-exported JPEGs have an equivalent magenta-tinted and oversaturated appearance on other computers I use, not just my image-editing computer.
I have set up a web page with example images, screen grabs and system technical information, located here: http://www.dougvetter.com/lightroom
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

>What can I do to get predictable color output that looks good outside a color managed environment? All the web content I look at on this exact same system looks just fine in my browser.
The only thing you can do is to calibrate your screen and export to sRGB jpegs.
On average the images will look the same, however very few will look identical simply because there is a lot of variation among screens. The sRGB standard gives you the biggest probability of getting it right. Unfortunately with the current upsurge in people buying laptops, which have in general a far smaller gamut than sRGB (the purple blue problem is caused by bad laptop screens), sRGB is starting to deviate from the average because the average is shifting. At the same time desktop LCDs are giving greater and greater gamut as your DELL display shows. sRGB was designed to represent an average CRT screen. So the crappy quality of laptop LCDs and the refusal of MS to finally live up to their promise of color management in IE is really hurting our chances of getting the right color in front of people.
What we really need is omnipresent color management and some awareness of computers of their monitor's profiles without having to calibrate, similar to printing profiles being delivered by printer manufacturers. They might not be perfect, but they will be good enough. Lacking that, we can really only try to calibrate our screens and use sRGB for web images.

Setting Default for Export Original?

~
This may sound like a nit-picky problem, but it has bugged me for years nonetheless.
I Export Originals to my desktop to work on them in Photoshop, later placing the final product into Aperture. (3.5.1) Whenever I choose Export Original, the dialogue box comes up with certain settings for a Custom Name export (screen capture below.)
What I'd like to do is to have this dialogue pop up with settings to keep the original filenames, as in:
My issue is that every time I open Aperture anew, this dialogue reverts to the "Custom Name" settings, and I have not been able to find a way to get the "Original File Name" settings to stick.
Is there some way to set this dialogue to always pop up with the Original File Name settings, so that I don't have to always change them every time I use the dialogue?
Thanks!

I got nothing . I run apps in windows as big as possible almost all the time. I use Many Tricks' Moom for window control -- worth a look (free trial), though I dont think it has a size-on-launch over-ride. Fwiw, the only advantage to me of the now-finished trend towards 16:9 screens is that it gave me room to put and hide my Dock on the left side, freeing up valuable top-to-bottom screen pixels.
(Added:) Just made the Aperture window as small as it would let me, closed Aperture, logged out, logged back in, opened Aperture: window opened in exact same position at the same size it was when I closed it. .

To begin, quit Lightroom
On Windows do the following
Click the Windows start button and in the search box type:-
%appdata%\adobe\lightroom
Then press the Return\Enter key
That will take you to the Lightroom folder (see image below)
Select the Preferences folder and hit delete to send it to the recycle bin.
Close the Lightroom folder and re-start the Lightroom program.

How to find the original RAW file # from a Lightroom exported JPG?

Hello, this is in regards to a Lightroom 3.5 exported JPG. This was a year ago when I had been told it was best to export files with simple renumbering of them from 1 to x... instead of retaining the original RAW 4-digit file name.
I've currently lost the original files, and need to do a search for them via these 4 digits to see if I have them tucked away in any of my drives. I downloaded a metadata explorer, and it's telling me all the lightroom editing information, and everything else, but somehow does not have the simplest of information — that 4 digit original file name.
Am I grasping at straws or is there likely to be any way to find this information out? I don't work with metadata, so there wouldn't have been any customizations to how Lightroom configures this....hoping that's in my favor. Any help is much appreciated!!!!

A note about security (context: downloaded apps & plugins...).
Anatomy of a URL:
protocol://stuff.stuff.stuff.domain.domain-suffix/stuff/stuff?stuff=stuff
None of this stuff matters much except:
domain.domain-suffix (and protocol, to some extent).
So if you download something from:
http://ignafradifcawhatyousay.toolonganyway.my.server.com/gogafnoics...
It's coming from server.com using http (web) protocol.
But, if you download it from:
http://my.server.com.badguy.tv/...
It's coming from badguy.tv, NOT server.com, so if you want it from server.com - danger will robins...
And, if you download from
http://216.195.245.134/my.server.com
It's coming from an unregistered internet address (216.195.245.134) - again: danger...
(4 groups of up-to-3 digits separated by dots is the format for a literal internet (IP) address, instead of domain-name...)
Summary: if you learn the anatomy of a URL, and pay attention to the URL's you are clicking on, or entering directly, you can take more responsibility for security, and assure (to a greater extent) you don't download from an unfriendly source.

Aperture to Lightroom Export/Import question

For those who have done the Aperture - Lightroom move (for whatever reason), did you use the built-in Aperture to Lightroom importer that I understand is part of of LR5 or did you use a third-party exporter like Aperture Exporter?
What were your reasons for your choice? My Aperture library is around 68,000 photos, but only around 3,000 show up when I check as "adjusted", so my main concern is trying to maintain some semblance of my folder structure and things like keywords, ratings, etc.
Thanks. Steve

I tried the plug-in (got a trial version of LR5) and after making sure that my entire Aperture Library was referenced, started it - and made sure to tell it to leave the files where they were! To my dismay (1) a lot of photos that I would have expected to be imported came back with errors - even though the ORF Olympus RAW file was a supported camera and more importantly (2) a lot of my photos that were in particular folders, now found themselves in folders based upon the date the photo was either taken or imported into Aperture. Now I read about this - but it is only supposed to happen if you had a managed library and then LR would move the image files into folders based upon dates.
My library had about 68,000 images and after about 6 hours it was up to 30% or so, so I just clicked on DONE to see how it was handling my folder structure.
I am now trying with an application called Aperture Exporter (they have a trial version, but it has limitations on how many photos it will import) and it seems to be handling the export much better. It is keeping my folder structure intact, keeping my metadata (mainly keywords) and any photo that had adjustments in Aperture applied it gives you the option of exporting the original RAW/JPEG file along with a copy of the adjusted one - either as a JPEG or TIFF. Only "issue" would be that you have to have enough hard drive space to duplicate - at least initially - your entire photo library. Don't see an issue to do the export one folder or project at a time (at least not in the demo version).

Lightroom Keeping Original File Size on JPEG Export

In Photoshop Light room, when I make edits to some JPEG files in a library and leave some unedited, I want to then export the JPEG files, keeping their original file sizes. The default quality setting is 60%, but this reduces the file sizes.
How do I keep the original file sizes?
Thx.
Tony.

> The default quality setting is 60%, but this reduces the file sizes. How do I keep the original file sizes?
All of the Export Presets can be edited and the new settings made to be default. Alternatively you can set up your own, new, presets to your own specification.

Trying to export original jpeg file # in Lightroom

I cannot seem to exprt my images and retain the orginal jpeg file number once I have watermarked them... I choose the "save with original file number" option in the dop down list but it still exports them with new numbers.
How do I keep my original numbers?

I am importing it straight from the card I shot on in this case & it is not showing the orignal file number in name or number. It shows untitled-1.jpeg on up through untitled-5.jpeg for the 5 files I exported.
It makes no sese.
Not sure what exactly you're doing here.
I mean, you need to import (copying) from card to hard disk, and when doing so, the image filenumber is used in filename if you insert
'Filename number suffix'
or just don't rename upon import.
Filenumber should then be preserved in filename - can you get that far successfully?
Then, when exporting, you choose a rename template with
'Original number suffix'
or just don't rename upon export
and filenumber should be in exported file too - is this where the ball is getting dropped?
PS - feel free to post actual filenames, screenshots, files, ... - the devil is often in the details, and so far you've not provided all.
