Setting up Lightroom CC

I just downloaded Lightroom CC. How do I set it up to connect to the images in my Lightroom 5 catalogue?

Hi Richard,
Simply, install and launch Lightroom CC and it will automatically ask to "Upgrade" the catalog. Click on Upgrade and Voila!
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers!

  • Photoshop not seeing export color space setting in Lightroom 4

    MY LR or PS programs are not acting as expected.
    When my Lightroom 4 is set to export to Photoshop in either the sRGB color space or the AdobeRGB color space, and Photoshop is set for the sRGB space, Photoshop gives a color mismatch error in both cases, saying the image is an AdobeRGB embedded image.  However, if the color space in PS is set for AdobeRGB, even if the export setting in Lightroom is sRGB, there is no mismatch error. 
    Apparently, PS sees every image as embedded with AdobeRGB.
    I have a Sony NEX6 camera.  I have taken pictures in the camera sRGB color space and the AdobeRGB space, which I used for this test. Since I shoot in RAW, this should not matter, so I don’t think it is the issue, and, in fact, I get the same result no matter which color space the camera is in.
    If LR export and PS color space are the same, why should there be a mismatch, and why is PS not seeing the sRGB space?  Might there be a setting in Lightroom or Photoshop that I am missing?

    I am, however, trying to decide on the right color space to use, which is how I noticed this problem. I rarely make prints of my photos.  I make bluray movies using Proshow Producer.  I recently got a new monitor and Samsung LED HDTV, and found that my photo videos did not display right and I am trying to find out why.  I found the normal viewing settings of the TV have too much color and sharpness, so I established another group of settings for photos, which helped.  However, I am still not satisfied.
    These are two separate but related issues.
    1) It's almost impossible to get accurate Color and Luminance level rendering inside LR if you don't use a hardware monitor calibrator to adjust your computer monitor.
    2) LCD TV's use settings to "enhance" color, brightness, and contrast that is usually very, very inacuuarte. But this is what most non-photography people seem to like so TV manufacturers crank up the "default settings." I also have an older 52" Samsung TV (LN-T5265F) that I've manually adjusted for more accurate color. Try using the 'Movie' mode, which is the most accurate mode and turn the Backlight setting down. Here are the settings I use with my Samsung TV. I assume your Samsung TV's controls are similar:

    So it occurred to me that some colors might be wrong, or too saturated, because I am not seeing them on my monitor as they will appear on the HDTV.  I am thinking that since sRGB is my final color space, I would try to do everything in the sRGB space, including setting my monitor to sRGB (I have a Dell 2413 which supports adobeRGB too).  I was inn the process of trying this when I found the issue at hand.  Might you have any thoughts about this color space choice
    If you have a wide-gamut monitor you are better off using it in Adobe RGB mode with a monitor calibrator. But then the monitor will not look correct in non-color managed applications:
    http://www.gballard.net/photoshop/srgb_wide_gamut.html
    You can circumvent this issue by using your monitor in sRGB mode, but I'd still suggest you use a hardware monitor calibrator. Either way it is imortatnt that you have a proper monitor profile assigned in Windows or OS X Color Management. The monitor manufacturer provides these, but they don't always work well with LR for numerous reasons.
    To insure the best image quality you should do all of your editing in PS using 16 bit TIFF with ProPhoto RGB profile format until you are ready to Export. For use with ProShow you can use TIFFs or JPEGs, but use sRGB color profile to avoid any color management issue. JPEGs are fine and a LR Quality higher than 80 (10 in PS) is a waste of disk space for slideshow images.
    In short you've got a lot of "variables" between the uncalibrated monitor and out-of-the-box non-adjusted TV. The former requires a good hardware calibrator aad the latter a good "eye" to adjust it.

  • How do I set up lightroom on new laptop with SSD?

    I just got a new Asus ROG Laptop with a SSD. I need help setting up lightroom. Should I keep my lightroom catalog on the C drive or move it to the D with all my Docs and Images?

    Your catalog goes best on the SSD (or whatever your fastest drive is).
    Your photos can go on your slowest drive.

  • Setting up Lightroom 4.3 Publishing Services

    I am having a problem setting up Lightroom 4.3 Publishing Services.  Each time I click “OK I’ll Authorise button in Flickr it goes to a blank screen with no completion of the process.  After many attempts over the last couple of days, this morning I was able to get error message from flickr that says “Oops! Flickr doesn't recognise the "oauth_token" this application is trying to use.” And goes on to say “You don't really need to know what this means, except that you can't use the application until this problem is fixed. (It's a third-party problem, not a Flickr problem).
    Will someone in Adobe please advise what I do to correct this problem?  I have reached an extreme level of frustration over this, please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi have solved the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling.  I think the problem was because I upgraded from version 3.x to 4.1

  • Why isn't ratings information set in lightroom showing up in windows explorer file properties?

    I am using Lightroom 3.4 64 bit on Windows7 64 bit.  When I apply keywords and set a rating in lightroom, only the keywords show up in the file properties in windows explorer, and FastStone viewer.  The ratings information is not shown.  Is this a known problem, or is there a way to fix it?

    I am using Lightroom 3.4 64 bit on Windows7 64 bit. When I apply keywords and set a rating in lightroom, only the keywords show up in the file properties in windows explorer, and FastStone viewer. The ratings information is not shown.
    Hmm, are you remembering to do Metadata > Save Metadata To File after you change the rating in LR?
    LR and Windows 7, Vista, and even XP (if you install Windows Live Photo Gallery) share metadata using industry-standard fields, and Windows' manipulation of the metadata is pretty robust.  In particular, they'll share the rating via the metadata field XMP:Rating.  I just verified this with LR 3.4 and Windows 7, but I'm pretty sure it also applies to earlier versions of LR 3:
    1. In LR 3.4, change the rating of an image.
    2. Metadata > Save Metadata To File
    3. In Windows Explorer, right-click the image file and select Properties.
    4. Observe the new rating on the Details tab.
    5. Change the rating on the Details tab.
    6. In LR, do Metadata > Read Metadata From File.  Observe the new rating in LR.

  • Set up Lightroom for my workflow - Help Please!!

    Hi Guys,
    (PC/Win XP pro/Lightroom 1.3/PS CS3 running on large PC with plenty of everything!! - Printing on 7880 Epson through qimage)
    I have been working on Bridge/CS3 and want to set uplightroom for the following workflow (easy in Bridge but I cant seem to figure it out in LR).
    I want all raw images to reside in a folder on HDD (say jane smith wedding). (that bit is easy- even I could manage that!)I want all work files (Xmp or whatever) and all developed images (low/high res) to reside in the same folder (there was a simple command in bridge - export to same location - that could be set as default but I cannot find in LR.)
    I also need to export a jpeg crop ( I cant find a crop tool for inches!!)of my corrected image at say 10x7@ 240dpi for inkjet printing through Qimage and a second jpeg say @ 70dpi with copyright mark for a slideshow in proshow gold.(is there a setting for "save in same location with work files). So I would end up with a folder for example R/jane smith wedd with subfolders develops and previews. This folder should contain ALL workfiles so when i archive ALL files go with it. ( also I would be able to open the raws with corrections applied on a home computer with CS3 but not lightroom running.)
    I admit Im thick!!
    Any help would be really appreciated, nigel
    PS: Memo to Adobe: What were you thinking of with no way to save contact sheets.......? Also no way to export music with the slideshow......?

    1. You need to turn on "automatically write XMP" in preferences. Then the settings data will be saved as you make changes in LR and CS3 can use these settings to open images. You could also convert to DNG for the same end result.
    2, If you want your exports in the same folder then just select that folder in the export dialogue. You also have the option of creating a sub folder to store the exports in. It doesn't have a save to same location default but it's not such a pain to pick a folder. I actually send my edits to a different drive just in case of corruption.
    3. There's no cropping done by the crop tool so you can't assign a dpi to it. Crop it the way you like it (you can set an aspect ratio if you like. Nothing happens until you export and that's where you select dpi, watermarking etc for output files. In the export dialogue just enter the settings you want. You can also save several sets of output settings for quick retreival later on.
    4. To save contact sheets install a free PDF printer and just print the contact sheets to it. Mind you because Adobe wont let you select sRGB as an output space and insists on Pro Photo RGG (don't get me started...) the colours will be washed out and horrible. You can also save your contact sheet settings so redoing it really isn't that big of a deal. Printing and saving contact sheets worked really well up to 1.1 after that Adobe broke it and it's the thing I miss the most. All they need to do is allow us to select an output colour space when using printer managed printing so I can have sRGB printing back.
    Don't know about the slide show thing, sorry.
    Hope this helps

  • How can i set up lightroom for tethered shooting with an eithernet cable

    So I have my Nikon d4 set up with Nikon Picture control so that it will download to my laptop with an Ethernet cable but it downloads to a file on the hard drive - I can choose what file, etc but what I want to do is take advantage of Lightrooms tethered capture so I can set white balance, set up sessions, etc.  LR tethered capture works fine with a USB but a USB is too short and for the life of me I can't figure out how to make it work with an ethernet cable - supposedly it can be done but not by me!  Any ideas out there?

  • Jpeg camera setting for Lightroom inport

    Hi, I have a Canon s3is that I use to shoot maybe 1,000 pictures a week. I have been trying out the Lightroom demo and really love the way it help me process all the pictures. Most of the pictures are used to document processes, so gallery level images are not required. But for about 5% of the pictures I need to get the best possible resulting image within the constraints of the capabilities of the s3is. Ideally I would like the camera to support a raw format which would give me the most flexibility to get those perfect final images in lightroom, but the s3is only supports jpeg image output. Are there optimum camera setting for minimizing the processing the camera will do and then do any processing in lightroom. Or is it better to just let camera try and optimize the image and then do any remaining work in lightroom.
    Getting a new camera is not an option at this time.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Jay

    You have two choices.
    I have an S3 and have come up with the settings I feel are best for post-processing. They are:
    Contrast -2
    Sharpness -2
    Saturation -1
    Green -1
    Of course, always shoot at maximum resolution.
    The other option is to get the CHDK hack for the S3, which gives it RAW mode. You can use a DNG converter to convert the resulting images to a Lightroom-readable format. http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ

  • Just set up lightroom 5 and imported images with sequence number but wanted image number.  How do I renumber all images in lightroom with an image number?

    How do I renumber all images in lightroom with an image number?

    Try line-height: 19px; and display: block; (as shown) on the following css seletor :
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
         font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;
         color: #CC6;
         text-decoration: none;
         padding-top: 10px;
         padding-right: 12px;
         padding-bottom: 10px;
         padding-left: 12px;
         line-height: 19px;
         display: block;
    Normally setting a height on a container which you have no control over is not a good idea. The text can be enlarged and that will throw everything off. The best way is to set no heights at all but use padding and make sure your background image is flexible enough to accommodate the text enlargement.
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
          padding: 12px 12px;
         display: block;

  • Image Info setting in Lightroom Web Module

    I watched the Turning Gate Podcast on how to customize the text used for photo titles, captions and other items in Lightrooms web module.
    In the Podcast pictures I noticed that in the web module Image Info pane section there are four individual settings available: Title, Caption, Annotations and a fourth one which I could not read.
    In my version of Lightroom (Version 1.3) I have only Caption and Title available (displayed). How do I get the others displayed?
    Franz

    Brent,
    On the left hand side double click on hard drive under "Publish Services" then do the following
    In the Publish Services panel on the left side of the Library module, click the Adobe Revel connection Set Up button.
    In the Lightroom Publishing Manager dialog box, look under Account and click Authorize.
    Follow the prompts to allow Adobe Revel to communicate with Lightroom.
    I played around with it to figure out different features of publishing Lightroom to Revel.
    Once you have it set up then can create a new collection/abum by control clicking on the Adobe Revel.  Then you can add image from your hard drive by dragging and dropping them into an album.
    Then select "Publish" when you are done. Log in to your Revel account and check to make sure the images show up.
    You can add watermarks to the images if you like.
    Let me know if you have any other questions
    Thanks
    Scott
