Selecting same photo in film strip and library module

When I select a photo in the library module, the same photo is not selected in my film strip, how do I change this?
The problem is when I select a photo in the library and then click develop, the photo that loads in the develop module is the one I have selected in the film strip, not the one I just clicked on in the library module. In my previous version of LR when I select a photo in the library module the same photo would become selected in the film strip so this problem would never occur, I am trying to find a way to restore this setting.
Also when I click "Ctrl A" in the Library module it selects all photos in my film strip, I would like to select all photos in library module instead so I can click "Sync Settings".
Thanks for your help!

What version of Windows? I'm using Windows 7 with 8 GB RAM, and don't see those problems. I would suggest that you upgrade to the current version, 5.7.1.
Product updates
The other suggestion would be to delete your Lightroom preferences so that Lightroom can generate a new preferences file.

LR 3.6 cannot view photos in film strip in Library mode. Can view photos on Develop setting.

On LR 3.6 I cannot view my photos on the film strip in the LIBRARY setting. On DEVELOP I can view on photo at a time on the film strip (the rest of the photos are not viewable). This is a new problem which has only occured on the last two imports.

Sounds like a corrupted preview cache. Close LR and find the catalog on the hard drive. Rename the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) - don't touch the lrcat catalog file. Then open LR and see if the previews reappear. If they do, select all in Grid view tonight when you go to bed and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Sized Previews - it take a long time so it's worth running overnight. If everything looks good in the morning, you can delete the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) that you renamed earlier.

After editing, photo goes to end of film strip and I lose my place

In the beta, in develop mode, I would work on a file, go to CS3 for some editing, then back, and then export jpeg. Now, my work flow gets a little messed up with 1.1 because after I export, the photo I was working on disappears to the end of the film strip and my film strip is at the end. So, I keep losing my place. Is there a way to go back to the beta way by setting some preferences somewhere? Thanks in advance for any help.

Sara-
It sounds like your sorting is set to "by edit time" or some other that's sending it to the end of the line. Also, work inside of one folder at a time.

Moving photos within film strip

Hi,
I apologize in advance for such a rudimentary question, but what would be the fastest and easiest way to move one or more photos from one end of the filmstrip, to the other? I know I can just select the photos I want to move, drag them to the edge of the film strip and wait for it to scroll to the desired location, but I was hoping there is a faster, more efficient way. Basically I have some photos at the beginning of the film strip that I want to place next to similar photos that appear somewhere towards the end of the film strip. Unfortunately shuttle control ceases to function once you click and drag a photo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There really are many many ways to sort-of do this. It depends how much you want to do with either the keyboard and/or the selection pointer (a/k/a the mouse cursor). None of the ones I know are as direct as it seems you would like.
A few work-arounds.
• Select the images you want to move. Press "v" twice to go to Browser view. Change the thumbnail size to small (this can be done w. repeated "{Shift}+{left square bracket}", or in the toolstrip of the Browser). Click-and-drag to where you want. Press "v" to return to Split view.
• Even easier -- just do this kind of image ordering in Browser view. As soon as you manually move an Image, the sort order changes to Manual. The Manual sort is remembered even if you change to another sort (e.g.: arrange your images, change to date sort, then change to manual sort and Aperture restores your last manual sort).
• Click to change the Film Strip in Split view to either Browser or List mode (the keyboard shortcuts are listed next to the icons on the Film Strip toolstrip). Scrolling in either of these modes is faster than in the Film Strip.
• Add color labels to the ones you want together (there are 8 labels to chose from) and then sort by label.
Better yet -- make a Stack of the images you want together. Select the ones at the beginning of the Project, add the ones at the end to your selection, and select "Stacks→Stack".

I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens. I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

When I select a photo on my iPhone and send it via email, the receipient receives it sideways. Any way to fix that?

When you took this photograph your phone was being held in that way. Sideways, try taking the photo straight on. Or it is the Picture file itself, open up the application you edit photos with and rotate it to be proper orientation. I recently had the same problem but you either have to retake or edit it at this point.

Images once exported (RAW) do not show up in catalog or previous imorts not film strips in library nor develop. They are in the files to which they were exported

Not sure how to get this going seems rather redundant.
In the last 4 - 5 days I have imported several hundred RAW files, done some minimal post processing and exported these images to various files (I have verified that the images are in the files to which I exported them). These images to no show up in previous imports nor do they show up in library nor develop film strips. How or can I get them to show up for additional review and possible manipulation. I recently did this same operation with largle JPEG files and all went well.
I did initially have some problems with LR recognizing the RAW files but some how was able to overcome that ( perhaps a card issue they are old card and the JPEGs were on a new card hmmmm!!??)
Any ways I supposed I can reimport them from their current files but that is a redundant pain. Suggestions would be apprediated

One possibility is that you accidentally opened a new/different catalog.
Look at File->Open Recent and open the catalogs shown there and see if your photos appear

Film strip and ctrl Z undo, acting odd

When using sort by color, if your film strip is hidden and you change the color you are sorting by, the film strip goes back to show. Or is this in a new setting somewhere?
A few times I have noticed using ctrl Z (undo) it un-does more then one change, then I could never get back to where I was. Of course, if in DEV you can simply click on any DEV step, but I like to use undo so I dont have a long DEV history, especially if I'm just seeing how DEV adjustments will look as a test.
thanks,
Donnie

Sorry, in LR2.

Tonal change between develop and library module

After having applied some changes in the develop module when I switch back to the library module I am experiencing a sever foreground tonal change? I can add that the foreground in this particular photo had a grad filter applied. The tone shifts from a cool blue to a purple? Shooting with a nikon d5100 with ADL turned off as per other similar problems brought up in this forum. Which by the way I still experience but have learned to live with is that after import of RAW picture looks good for about a second then exposure changes.

Are you using a calibrated/profiled monitor? In Develop module, LR displays in ProPhoto colour space, in Library module it's Adobe RGB. If the monitor doesn't have a proper profile there could be differences in view between Develop and Library. However I would have thought LR would default to assuming monitors behave like sRGB if there's no profile (or no colour space info in the profile).

The usual cause for that is that Adobe can't read Nikon proprietary metadata such as Picture control settings. If you shoot with the Nikon Picture Control setting (Standard, Portrait or whatever) at default settings, and if you use the corresponding profile in Lightroom's "Camera Calibration" panel (Camera Standard, Camera Portrait etc) then the appearance should be very close to the out-of-camera jpeg preview appearance.

My photos look terrible in the library module after editing in the develop module. They look nothing alike. How do I solve this issue? Using Lightroom 5.

anyone have any ideas? The only way I can get around this is export the photo back into iPhoto and try to edit out the mess.

The waves you are seeing on your monitor must be more pronounced than what I'm seeing in the posted screenshots. The Library module uses Adobe RGB AND 8-bit JPEG preview images, which can cause banding in fine gradient areas (compared to Develop view), but I'm not seeing a huge difference in your screenshots. Here's a screen shot with my non-wide gamut monitor calibration profile. If my screenshot shows less banding than what you are seeing with the original images it indicates a monitor profile issue as described by twenty-one. A hardware calibrated monitor is recommended to prevent these types of issues.
The Library image also appears lighter in the shadow area, which probably indicates more Luminance NR needs to be applied or perhaps less sharpening. Try it and see if that helps with the issue.

Different view to develop and library module

Hello everyone, I have a big problem during my workflow, or when working images from the development at the end of the work as the images are like me and very sharp. But when I see in the library module are not sharp and the blacks are very mordibi. Below I post the link to see for yourself.
MODULE DEVELOPMENT:
MODULE LIBRARY:
The problem is that when I export my image is identical to the form LIBRARY and not that beautiful clear form DEVELOPMENT. So I find myself not export images with crisp blacks and dishes.
I already tried to delete the cache, but does not change anything, and I use 1:1 previews, you have no idea how to fix my problem?

Ah, now I see the rightside of that screenshot, with, as you say, sharpening 150 and NR 0. That's a combo it would never even occur to me to use, not in a hundred years...
Anyway, I tried this with an ISO 1250 shot, but couldn't see any differences anywhere. But maybe you need to go higher.
I've learned to never take anything for granted when reviewing LR forum posts. An ISO 1250 shot is probably too low with most DSLR cameras to see this issue. On my 5D MKII I could really only see the "lightening" between Develop and Library views with ISO 6400 raw images. It may also show up at lower ISO settings with images that are heavily underexposed (i.e. LR Exposure +1 and greater), and with smaller sensor cameras (1.6 crop, P&S).
Gianlu24, keep in mind that Adobe increased the Sharpening amount from '100' in LR3 to '150' in LR4 when using a high 'Masking' setting. For most normal images and Masking settings you should use a Sharpening amount below '100.' There are two basic types–Capture and Output sharpening, each adjusted using separate controls. In addition you can apply both Global and Local Capture Sharpening in LR. These three articles by Laura Shoe may be helpful:

Question mark on the frame of my photos in the film strip and files can't be opened

I had used LR for imports and some editing. I then reorganized my folders of the original files. This includes the NEF and JPG.
Now when I open LR, all of the files are there but I get a message that they can't be opened and there is a small question mark on the gray around each photo.
What do I need to to do to undo this?
Thanks,
Paul

Did you "reorganize" them outside of LR? If so, LR has lost track of the images. You'll need to click the Question Mark on one at the highest level directory you can and point LR to the file. LR will try to re-locate the rest but you may need to do this for each changed branch.

5d Mark II Images not same in Develop and Library Module

Hello,
I am having trouble with the Raw fies that have been adjusted in the Develop Module loosing all of their luster and pop when switching back to Library and exporting. In other words, my adjustments are generally flattened out and colors muted when going from Develop to Library. I see that the Camera Calibration shows only ONE profile option: Matrix. However, the same single option for my 7D is also Matrix but the Raw files appear to hold my adjustments after being made in the Develop module.
I am using LR 2.7 and Camera Raw 5.7.
Please advise what needs to be done to get my images looking how I want them too and holding the adjustments.
thanks
todd bigelow

Sorry, but also noticed that this appears to occur only on the images with higher contrast, beautiful light that is vibrant and saturated. On other images that don't have the same intense, late afternoon colors, the adjustments seem to hold fine.
Meant to say "losing" in original post, not "loosing".......
thanks again for any recommendations

PS 6, Windows 7 64; installed second monitor and when renaming in bridge both screens fill with large film strip and I cannot get back to normal; please help!

Try a reset (click on that down pointing arrow) and also if you have a Mac, toggle the green resize button. It usually forces Bridge to resize to the screen.
If worse comes to worse, reset Bridge's Preferences as explained here: Troubleshoot errors, freezes | Adobe Bridge | Windows, Mac OS
When I use a external larger monitor, I select just that monitor.

I have shot the same photo at different angles and would like to get them side by side to correct the color so the match. The balance between the photos is different and applying a mask to correct one photo does not necessary fix the other one being out o

I would like to align them too.
