Scaling pictures in print mode - Lightroom

Hi all!
Merry Christmas from Denmark!
I have a problem rescaling the pictures when i use the presets in print mode. I figured the CMD key for moving the picture in the frame, but I haven't figured out how to scale the photo inside the frame - not scaling the frame!
Can it really be, that the only solution is to go in develop mode, and scale the picture there?
Hope some of you know the answer for this question!
Thank you in advance

Hi guys!
Thanks for your replies!
An example of where this feature would be highly appreciated is when i have 3 photos in a 3, 2x2 squares and a want to place the photo in left box, a little bet left, instead of the actual picture, the middle one complete in the middel and the 3rd a little bit placed to the right inside the preset, or to upscale a portrait and only see the eyes for example - with cropping the pictures to that.
Hope it made sense to you - i find it a little hard to explain.
I guess its not possible :-)

  • Lightroom 3 preview not working in Print mode

    last week I updated my mac to Lion and encountered a problem with lightroom 3. It wont let me preview the print in print mode now! before it did! now when i try and print, it just prints a white blank print?!
    luckily i used my macbook pro, the same problem happened in the lightroom too but it printed the image rather than blank printing
    any reason why i cant see the print preview any more?

    Did you get an answer to this? I have the same problem.  dave

  • Lightroom print mode and Color mode grayed out

    Both print mode and color mode selections are grayed out not allowing me to select them. Help

    I see you haven't gotten much input so far from the Mac experts...
    As a Windows user without an Epson printer myself, I can't comment on why you might have color problems under the covers where the software doesn't seem to be following the chosen settings.  However, perhaps I can get you thinking about how to further diagnose the problem...
    The obvious thing I see is that you've chosen "Photoshop Manages Colors" in the main dialog, which implies your intent is to shut off color-management in the printer driver itself.  So to me the graying out of those settings in this case seems to make sense.
    Have you tried a test print using the "Printer Manages Colors" setting?
    Also, to try to test whether color-management isn't being turned off in the printer (regardless of what the grayed-out settings show), do you see any improvement if you use "Photoshop Manages Colors" but choose a standard profile, such as sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the Printer Profile setting?

  • Develop Mode to Print mode problem

    I cannot find a Lightroom 4 beta thread so I will ask my questiion here.  When using the Develop mode in Lightroom 4 beta and then switching to the Print mode the photo I was just working on in Develop mode does not show on the screen but the last photo I actually printed shows again.  What do I not have set right so that the current picture I was working on shows in the Print mode?  I did not have this problem in Lightroom 3.

    At the top of this forum, see the notice "Read this before posting about LR 4!!!"

  • Color shift printing from Lightroom 1.3

    Windows Vista, HP officejet Pro L7580 printer, Lightroom 1.3, Photoshop CS3. All that being said and having used Photoshop since ver 5 with a variety of printers I find myself stumped with my latest soup of hardware and software. Screen colors do not print out anywhere close on paper when I try to print from Lightroom. Move the file over via "edit in Photoshop" and print from there and everything is fine. In Photoshop, whether Photoshop or the printer controls the color there is no problem. In Lightroom, however I have no control that I can find. I have no additional profiles so the printer controls the color. Photoshop and the printer are both set to AdobeRGB1998.icc. Other then just printing from Photoshop what am I missing in Lightroom?
    By the way Adobe, in the future think about either Lightroom or Bridge but not both.

    Hi,
    Just a reminder for those who missed that thread (I guess this fix also
    applies to LR 1 although I didn't check):
    [FIX] Darker prints and color shifts when printing from Lightroom 2
    (this is for Windows - Mac users please look here for a similar fix:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_13_print/lightroom_print.htm )
    The problem :
    When printing RAW or TIFF files from LR2, you get a printer output that
    is much darker than it should be and that presents various color shifts.
    I'm using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 with the latest Windows driver
    (6.50 - which is rather old by the way). The workaround described below
    works for me under Windows XP SP3. It should also probably work with
    other systems/printers/drivers. Use at your own (minor) risk.
    The "official" procedure for printing from LR is as follows:
    1. Do not let the printer manage colors and select "Other..." from the
    profile dropdown list and select the ICC/ICM paper/printer profile that
    you want to use.
    2. Click on Print... in LR which opens the Print Settings dialog.
    3. Select the options you need and the paper you're using.
    4. *Disable the color management from the driver's side* (in Epson's
    drivers, "Mode | Custom | No Color Adjustments").
    5. Print
    Unfortunately, *this doesn't work* for many of us and this produces a
    print that is dark and has color shifts as mentioned above. Note that
    the same image prints correctly from QImage or Photoshop CS3 (that is,
    the printer output corresponds to what you see on your calibrated
    display).
    Apparently, although color management has been (allegedly) disabled in
    the driver, there's something wrong between LR and the driver which
    makes that both LR and the driver are still trying to manage colors. In
    other words, the "No Color Adjustements" option of the driver doesn't
    seem to work with LR.
    The workaround (found after hours of hair pulling and paper and
    expensive ink wasting):
    In step #4,
    1. Instead of selecting "No Color Adjustments", set Mode to "Custom |
    ICM
    2. Click Advanced...
    3. Check "Show all profiles".
    4. Select Driver ICM (Advanced)"
    5. Set *both* the "Input profile" and the "Printer profile" fields to
    the very same profile that you specified in LR.
    That is, if you specified Pro38 PGPP (Premium Glossy Photo Paper) in LR,
    then also select Pro38 PGPP in both "Input Profile" and "Printer
    Profile". This has actually the same effect has disabling color
    management in the driver (what "No Color Adjustements" should normally
    take care of).
    That's it. When printing, you'll get exactly the same color results as
    when printing from QImage or Photoshop. No more dark prints. No more
    color shifts.
    One might think that the bug is in the Epson driver but in that case,
    QImage would have the very same problem. So I tend to think that the bug
    is on the Lightroom side.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can I not import pictures any more? Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"

    Why can I not import pictures any more?
    Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"
    Technical informations:
    PC with Windows 7 64-bit, Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit installed.
    What I have done:
    I downloaded the newest LR 5.71 and installed it again - mode repair; without success
    I checked my PC with Norton 360: full scanning and optimizing registry
    I restarted the PC and than I installed the LR 5.7 again - repair
    Trouble 1:
    Two days ago I could work with my LR 5 and to import pictures from a SD was no problem. Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.
    Trouble 2:
    I live in Switzerland and my language ist German. I dit not find a place where I can present my problem in German, e.g. a phone number oder email-address oder german-chat. My English is to week for a discussion for computer problems and do understand it.
    Help:
    I would very appreciate if anybody can help me, either to trouble 1 or to trouble 2. Thanks.

  • Printing in Lightroom Produces Wrong Colors

    I have searched these forums and found a couple of topics that have to do with incorrect or wrong colors being printed by Lightroom but none of the suggestions proposed seemed to help. So, I think that I have something else going on that is causing me problems.
    The vital statistics: I am using Lightroom 1.4.1 on Vista Home Premium with an HP C7280 All-in-One printer. The pictures I am trying to print are DNGs converted by Lightroom. When printing in Lightroom, I select the option to have the color managed by the printer.
    Basically, any picture that I print from Lightroom looks darker than the original. So, I tried a couple of different tests to try to find out what is going on. I exported a picture to a jpeg and printed that with the Microsoft Office Picture Manager and it printed fine.
    I was curious what would happen if the photo was printed from Photpshop CS3. So, I created a copy of the DNG file from Lightroom and edited it in Photoshop. I printed the picture from Photoshop with the color set to be managed by the printer, and Photoshop also printed the photo with a dark look. I then changed the Color Handling to "Photoshop Manages Color" and the Printer Profile to sRGB, and the picture printed perfectly.
    In addition, I tried printing jpgs from Lightroom, and I got the same dark results. Any suggestions as to what is going on will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
    Michael

    Unfortunately, Lightroom cannot print to this specific printer without tricks. The reason is that HP does not provide color management in the driver (which is why you have to use sRGB in Photoshop - shudder!) and does not provide icc profiles for it. This is HP not providing good drivers for their consumer-oriented printers, and Lightroom expecting at least reasonably modern printer drivers. Photoshop will print to anything by using the working space fall back that really is a hack. Unfortunately, Lightroom does not provide the same hack. In your case, there is a trick you can use, which is to find the "HP color Laserjet RGB" icc profile that HP ships with their laserprinter drivers. It is just an sRGB profile masquerading as a printer profile. If you use that in the profile field in Lightroom, it
    should work.

  • All my prints using: Lightroom 5, printer color management turned off, and non-generic ICC profile (e.g. Epson Premium Glossy) have magenta tint or cast

    I'm using PC with: Windows 8.1, 64bit, Lightroom 5.4, Epson R3000, 6.75 (latest) driver, color management turned off in printer settings, Lightroom configured to manage color.  If I use a generic ICC profile such as Epson sRGB, the prints look OK.  But when I use any ICC profile dedicated to my paper and printer combination, such as Epson Premium Glossy, or one created using ColorMunki print profile, the prints all have a medium to heavy magenta tint or cast.  The effect can be seen before I even print in the Epson Print Preview.  Yet when I soft proof, I don't see this effect.  I suspect the problem lies somewhere in the CMM process, but I can't pin it down.  Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you kindly for your insightful response.  As it turns out, the answer is half correct.  I've found others who'll say the same thing, that double color management will lead to a very magenta result.  I believe this was certainly the case when I first started playing with the settings,  Where I went wrong, is that after I corrected my settings by turning off printer manages color and letting Lightroom do the color management, is that the Epson Print Preview was still showing magenta with certain profiles.  Not wanting to waste more money on paper and ink, I used the preview to gauge whether I was going to get a normal print or not.  Then one day I ignored the print preview's magenta cast as a 'warning' and I went ahead printed the photo anyways.  Because I used a profile that I created with ColorMunki Photo, the picture came out perfect (i.e. a very good match to what I was seeing in Lightoom on my monitor).  The lesson learned is that for judging the final color correctness, the Epson Print Preview can be way off target and your best bet is to ignore it.

  • Grainy prints in Lightroom 5

    I'm having difficulty with grainy prints from Lightroom 5.  Photos taken in RAW format print perfectly.  Photos taken in JPEG format produce extremely grainy, pixelated prints.  I'm curious because if I print the same JPEG from iPhoto, I get a smooth print.  Thanks.

    Is there any chance draft mode printing was checked in the Lightroom print module?

  • How to print from Lightroom 5 to Canon pro-100?

    When I go to print from Lightroom, the colors on my screen look exactly as I want them. Then I have the color management set to Canon Pro-100 with the type of paper I am using (pro-luster), but when I get the printer setup on my screen, I get different colors (ugly colors). I then print the picture, and I get the same colors that were on my screen for the printer setup (the ugly colors).
    how do I set it up that colors will be managed by Lightroom? which option do I select when under the Profile section?
    Thanks

    I have the same printer, and get excellent results from it. You have two choices; you can either allow Lightroom to manage the color, or you can let the printer manage the color. You don't want both the printer and Lightroom managing the color. If that happens you get bad colors.
    To allow Lightroom to manage the color you need to go into the page setup, which opens your printer driver and you need to turn off color management. You also need to set the paper size and paper type based on the profile you are using. There are usually instructions packaged with paper indicating what settings you should choose. After you have set everything appropriately in the printer driver you need to select the appropriate paper profile from the list available to you in Lightroom.
    To allow the printer to manage the color, you choose that option in Lightroom. Then in the page setup you need to choose the paper type as well as the exact paper profile that you will be using.

  • Correct sizing of a picture for printing

    Good day all;
    I am a wee bit new at all of this so this question may sound a bit simple.
    Is there a correct way to size pictures for printing. This is what I have done.
    My camera is set of 6 meg’s which gives me a huge original. I want to take this and print on a 4x6.
    I bring up the picture, select print > click on “scale to fit media. This gives me the size of
    5.333 X 4.
    I go back to the picture select: Image>Image Size. Under Document size I enter 5.333 in the Width. The height changes to 4
    Question, am I doing this correctly
    Thanks All
    Chomp

    I looked up the resolutions for the Lumix Dmc-F27. Full resolution is 2816 * 2122 pixels, giving an aspect ratio of 1:1.327. If you want 4 by 6 inch prints (aspect ratio 1:1.5), you should crop so that the long axis is 6 inches. The short axis would then be 4.5241 inches and the resolution would be 469 pixels/inch. If you are sending the image to an injet printer, you would want to crop the short axis to 4 inches. In his Image Sharpening with Adobe PSCS2, Bruce Fraser states that the "native resolution" of HP inkjets is 300 ppi and that of Epsons is 360 ppi. He further states that Epsons can benefit from up to a resolution of 480 ppi and that sending more than 720 ppi to the printer can actually degrade image quality. With your camera, I see no good reason to use less than the native printer resolution unless file size is a concern.
    In your situation, it would make sense to crop without resamplilng and send the image to the printer at 469 pixels per inch (assuming that you are using an Epson printer). If you don't mind arbitrary cropping, you could create a Photoshop action to automate the process and you could add suitable sharpening in the process. To simplify things, I would recommend turning off sharpening in the camera.
    If you know that you will not need more than 4 by 6 inch prints, I see that the camera has a 1600 x 1200 pixel mode, which would give a 300 ppi 4 x 6 inch print.
    If you are having the prints done at Walgreen's or Walmart and do not mind aribitrary cropping, you could likely send the native images to the printer and let the printer handle resampling and cropping. These machines usually print at 300 pixels/inch.

  • Dark prints from lightroom

    I cannot find a solution to my problem anywhere else so I hope someone here can help me.
    When I print from lightroom all my prints come out too dark. When printing from photoshop cs3 or the windows picture viewer the prints are fine. I am printing on a kodak easyshare5500. The printer driver does not allow color management to be turned off, it offers 2 color space options and I have tried both with no success.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to improve my prints from lightroom.

    Hi Jason,
    I have only two suggestions for you:
    1. From Lightroom Open in Photoshop CS3 and print from there. ( a bit of a nuisance, but less of a nuisance than a ruined print and yet another wasted sheet of paper.)
    2. I do not know the Kodak easyshare5500 printer or the size that it can print. Make and save a few copies of your pictures from Lightroom with different values on the exposure slider. Then print them all on one sheet and pick the one that looks best. That will also work for your next print too. I always find that my Canon printer tends to print a good bit darker than what I see on screen, so I have got into the habit of boosting exposure before printing. (and that is with a calibrated monitor etc etc etc.)

  • Printing from Lightroom 2 with Snow Leopard OS

    I have used Lightroom 2 and printed satisfactorily with Epson Stylus Pro 4000 with Leopard OS.  I have now upgraded to  Snow Leopard, and using the latest driver for the Epson 4000, the prints come out very dark with both printer and Lightroom color management.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your suggestions.  I have subsequently talked to the Epson Support representative and he said to watch the current drivers for Epson since apparently there may be some Epson driver updates.  I do not know whether any will be a resolution of the problem I continually have with the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 however.  Interesting, I printed an image using CS4 today, and out of frustration, I set the mode as "automatic" under the Print Settings in the Print Box.  It came out very close to the screen rendering, and was not dark like the images printed under the Photoshop settings and the other printer driver settings.  I have never used the "automatic" before since I normally use the ICC profiles for the paper and ink from Epson.  Under Leopard, prior to converting to Snow Leopard, the Photoshop/ICC profiles did not render proper color either, and I used "ColorSync" as a custom setting under the Print Box, and it was the best of the settings.  In any event, nothing seems to fully work under the current combinations with CS4, Lightroom2, Epson, and Snow Leopard.  Unfortunately, the best settings under my former PC setup render the worst possible prints under Snow Leopard.

  • Printing from Lightroom = bad, From CS3 = Perfect.

    OK, before you flame me I am sure this has been asked before but I tried looking threw the search engine and nothing came up that was directly related to my issue.
    Specs:
    Vista Ultimate
    Lightroom (Latest version)
    Photoshop CS3 (Latest version)
    iP6700D Canon printer (Newest drivers)
    When I print from Lightroom the pictures look dark and dull. When I print from CS3 using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 they look perfect. I want to try printing from Lightroom using this profile but when I click "MORE" to select other profiles in LR, it is not there.
    I am a printer noob as I just got this printer and have always had pics developed for me before this.
    Any suggestions on how I can get the same quality from LR as I do from CS3?
    Thanks !!

    Thanks both for your help. I was able to make the picture come out exactly the same in Lightroom as it did in CS3.
    The interesting this is that when I selected the specific profile for the paper, the image came out very red but when I just selected the "Canon IJ Color Printer Profile 2005" it came out great.
    I put together a quick visual comparison to show the difference at the following link: http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/4458/printingresultscopyvg1.jpg
    Weird eh? I have a Spyder 2 that I use to calibrate my monitor so I know that is not the cause, and it looks fine in the other pics. A little light but that's my fault lol.
    Thanks again, I think I am good to go from here, unless you have anything else you think I should know. You have been a great help.

  • Help Printing in Lightroom 5

    I'm just not happy at all with my prints from Lightroom 5.  I've callibrated my monitor and my printer (Epson R3000) and have developed printer profiles for the various Red River papers I'm currently using.  The color in my prints doesn't come close to the color on my monitor and they are always too dark.  When editing I'm always aware of the histogram and where my whites are.  Everything looks great on my 27" iMac (OSx 10.9) but when I print I seem to always have to increase the brightness in the Print module by about 30 percent and the colors are not good.
    Also, I'm having a sporatic problem with the print size.  I just finished printing a batch of 5x7's for my wife without any problems (except the color/brightness issues).  However, when I switch paper size to 13x19 in order to print a 12x18 picture I get a 5x7 portion of the image printed in the corner of the page.  I've set my paper size to 13x19 borderless in the Print/page setup window and made the cell size 12x18 in the Print module.  Still, it only prints a 5x7 portion of the image.
    Anyone having similar problems who might be able to help me?
    Thanks.

    This is usually caused by your display being at far too high brightness, making you develop your images too dark. Also make sure that you judge your prints using good lighting. In general, your display should be about as bright in the whites as a piece of paper viewed where you view them.
    For the red river papers, do you use their profiles or did you generate your own? Are you making sure to set up your printer driver EXACTLY like the instructions? The paper manufacturer only tests this on one copy of the printer so it is possible that it deviates a little because of that. Also, what happens when you export a JPEG from one of your images and print from preview on standard Epson paper? It is very possible that if your color is way off and your prints are very dark that your print is getting double managed by both the driver and Lightroom. In that case, make sure that you download the very latest driver from Epson, uninstall the current driver and reinstall with the newest driver. Sometimes old crud gets left behind in the Lightroom presets that gets cleared out when the printer driver changes. You should not have to do anything special to manage from Lightroom. It should just work when you select a profile in The print dialog.
