Show Clipping while in Library Module

I am shooting tethered and wondered if there is a way to view the clipping while in the Library Module Loupe? I noticed that it only seems to work in the Develop Module but if i try to shoot tethered while in that module the photo will not update as I shoot. I am using Nikon Camera Control Pro & Lightroom to see my Photos appear on screen as I shoot and while I can view and read a histogram i thought it would be even better if I could see the clipping....
Thanks,
Kevin

On my set up- diff. camera Mfg,- I can shoot with card in. Kinda a nice backup, too. Also, I am pretty sure it displays (if set to do so!) whether there's a card or not. Mileage varies.

  • "show clipping" feature in library module please

    I wish we could have the "reveal clipping" feature in Library, so while we are
    reviewing sharpness, we can also toss clipped pix.  Now we have to go to
    develop and go thru them all over again AND the 1:1 previews are slow there. 
    Agree?

    RawDigger isn't a tool I use for that purpose, but I guess you could. I've only used it to get a better idea of what a clipped raw file actually looks like in LR and on my camera's histogram. Raw Digger or Rawnalyze will help you do that. More info here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4488745#4488745
    Also keep in mind that PV2012 uses auto highlight recovery, so PV2010 and PV2012 histograms and clipping indicators look quite different. PV2012 generally hides some raw clipping, while PV2010 looks much worse than reality. Neither one is 100% accurate!
    Double-click image to see full-size:
    PV2010 Top, PV2012 Bottom, RawDigger Histogram
    Go ahead and try it for yourself. To get the above histogram view in RawDigger make sure you check 'Log Scale' under 'Y' Axis Range. The above raw image looks way over-exposed in both PV2010 and PV2012, but notice that PV2012 only show slight clipping in the white patch. RawDigger shows a little over 50 red and blue pixels clipped, and about 50,000 green pixels. So we have a total of ~ .05/21.1 Mp = 0.24% clipped pixels. Not a heck of a lot!
    Here's the above image adjusted to match one shot at -1 2/3 EV (i.e. shows no clipping in PV2010). The only real difference is that the yellow postit looks slightly paler, due to the clipped green pixels (i.e. insufficient green). The optimum exposure (i.e. without clipping) was -2/3 EV. If you chose the -1 2/3 EV image your s/n ratio will be cut in half (-1 EV). At high ISO it makes a big difference in shadow noise, especially with PV2012's excellent shadow recovery. ERGO- ETR (Expose To The Right)
    This is  probably way more information than you wanted, but better to be informed than work in the dark (pun). Here's the view in Rawnalyze confirming clipping in the the 100% white patch (what we want) and postit. Rawnalye's clipping indicator uses the "clipped color, " which for green clipping is magenta (i.e. R+B-G):

  • Keywording/Keyword List tabs not showing in Library Module

    The keywording & Keyword List tabs are not showing up in my library module on the right hand side. Also, I can't seem to use the Mac 'Command + K' shortcut to add a keyword. Have tried on photos that are both from my iphone (TIFF) as well as raw from my Nikon (NEF).
    New to lightroom and have no idea what's up. Just noticed it today after having been working in the program for about a week now doing basic tutorials and stuff with lynda.com
    Thanks!

    Right-click one of the other panel headers and check the ones you want.

  • Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty.  I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion. Help??

    Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty.  I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion.
    I was working on a project, when all of a sudden the event library went blank.  There are no devices showing in the left column, only "last import" and "aperture videos".  There are no video clips in the editing window.  I have "Show: All Clips" selected.  I've tried "group events by disk". 
    When I have a Project open, it plays just fine.  There are no yellow triangles saying "source clip is missing".  Yet, again...nothing is in the event library large editing window.  So, it seems the data is still there, but invisible.  This is true with all the projects, and all the external devices I've experimented by plugging in to see if their video clips show up in the event library. 
    I have tried to import new movies, and iMovie responds as normal...looking like it's importing, then "generating thumbnails", then it makes the "ding" signalling that the import is complete...but nothing shows in the event library.  I've tried importing movies from the harddrive, from quicktime, and from an external drive.
    I have searched the forums, and found many users with a similar, but not the same, problem.  For them, it seems the "go to users-library-preferences and delete iMovie plist" has solved their problem.  This didn't work for me. 
    I uninstalled/reinstalled iMovie, I even have re-installed Mountain Lion (from a last-ditch effort suggestion from Apple technician). 
    HERE'S AN INTERESTING DETAIL:  After almost 5 hours on the phone with Apple, I decided to cut my losses and take my project to another Mac I have.  I'm working on a project, for work, that is critical that it's completed by tonight (whoops), and all my video is on an external drive.  So, I plug in the external drive to Mac #2, open iMovie, and everything is looking fine.  I continue importing some files I was converting, through Wondershare, and suddenly (whether or not this has to do with the importing, I'm not sure), the SAME THING happened to Mac #2!!!!  I can't believe this. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Have you ever heard of this happening?  Could it have to do with the files I'm importing??? 
    I apologize if my language is confusing.  Obviously, I'm not an Apple genius-person!  I hope I've provided all the information you need.
    Mac #1 is a 27" desktop, mid-2012, software up-to-date.  Mac #2 is a 24" desktop, about 4 years old, OSX 10.7.5

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them. 

  • Develop settings not showing up in library module view of image

    Hi there
    A quick question about an issue I have not seen before.  Imported a raw image .cr2 file from a Canon S95.  Opened develop module and applied clarity, vibrance and sauration adjustements.  Clicked back to Library module and the adjustments have not been made.  Clicked back to Develop and they are there.  Have tried closing LR5 and reopening - the image adjustments are still visibile in Develop, but not in Library.  Any thoughts?  Is this a software issue or a hardware issue (have just upgraded from LR4).  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lee - I'll keep LR running for a while to see what happens.  I did notice that when I did the import of the image, the thumbnails of the images from the SD card were not immediately rendered.  it was possible to see the images by clicking on each one.  When I had previewed each image individually, the thumbnails were visible.  I suppose its possible that my hardware is running very slowly as welll.
    Thanks

  • Show file name in the library module

    In Lightroom 2.7. there was the option in the library module to show the file name of the photograph in the area under the photograph. In Lightroom 3 I can not find this option anymore. Can anybody help me to find it ?
    Thank you
    Ewanik

    Info is not available in LR3.  You could use the info overlay.

  • When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get

    When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get the right profile available?

    First, the required profile needs to be present. LR 5.4 supports the X-T1 in terms of understanding its Raw format, but will not come with a profile for every lens which can be mounted onto that.
    A profile is made for each specific lens, as mounted on a certain camera. It can also be used with pictures taken on a different (reasonably similar) camera body than the one originally used during profiling. This is subject to the sensor format: you can employ a given lens profile made for full frame, on an image from a crop sensor behind the same lens - but not vice versa.
    Next, the image type needs to correspond to the image type which has been built into the profile: Raw, or non-Raw.
    Lightroom offers only profiles of the right type for the image(s) concerned. There are many more provided for correcting camera Raw, than for correcting camera JPG. That is also the case with additional profiles, e.g. those accessed via the Adobe lens profile downloader utility.
    Finally, in the event that there simply is no profile out there for a given lens, it is not particularly difficult (though a little tedious) for the end user to generate one, using a further Adobe utility which is downloadable as a package, including a range of checkerboard calibration targets, each of which needs to be printed at a stated physical size.

  • The library module in 4.3 version does not show all the images

    The library module in the version 4.3 of Lightroom does not show all the images. They are marked with gray boxes instead of images. This is especially true of the images which I tried to import to Lightroom since I downloaded 4.3 a few weeks ago. If I want to seen an image, I have to go to the develop module to see it. What should I do?  Get this fixed now!!!!!!!!

    My bet would be on a corrupt preview folder.
    Your preview folder is located in the same folder as your catalog. It has the same name as your catalog with the word Previews.LRDATA at the end of the name. Rename this folder and let Lightroom rebuild the previews. Go to Library>Previews>Render Standard-sized Previews.  See if that fixes it.
    If it doesn't, you may want to have a look here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/photos-appear-black-gray-rectangles.html

  • Photos in Library module and after export look different than in Development module

    Hello,
    I experience a problem.
    After I update photos in the Development module, the updates seem not to be shown in the Library module. And when I subsequently export to Flickr, Flickr is also showing the original photo, not the adapted one.
    I noticed this the first time after making Blacks a bit deeper, causing a sunflower to become a deeper yellow. I thought that my adaptations were not applied in the Library module. After I checked with cranking down the Saturation all the way back (to almost black-and-white), that adaptation WAS applied in the Library view. So it had to be something else, causing the same color difference between the Library and Development modules.
    When I switch from the Library module to the Development module, I see a slight delay in applying my changes, but they are applied. Before they are applied, I can see that the original photo is shown and that looks the same as in the Library module and on Flickr.
    The photostrip on the bottom of the Lightroom screen also shows the original photos only, unless I go to the development module and select a photo (adaptations are applied in the photostrip after I select the photo, not before).
    After I played a bit more in the Development module, I found something strange in the Camera Calibration menu of the Development module. The Adobe Profile (my default) caused an obvious color difference between the Library (less saturated) and the Development (more saturated) modules. The Camera Standard profile also showed a (very) slight difference, but I was unable to notice the differences using the other profiles.
    So I was thinking (but it's only a guess), that the profiles are not applied in the Library view and on export, but they are in the Development module?
    I use Lightroom 5.6, Camera RAW 8.6.
    Please help me, as this is very annoying. I currently cannot export my photos to Flickr or anywhere else, unless I overcompensate before exporting. And I really don't want to do that. My Lightroom photo is my perfect photo, and I want to keep it that way...
    Many thanks in advance for any help,
    Peter

    Hi ssprengel,
    Thanks for your reply. Let me react to each possibility you mention and provide some extra information.
    - "Check your Export / File Settings / Image Format and make sure they are set to JPG not Original". Done that, it's not on Original, but on jpg. This would not explain why I see the difference in the Library and Development modules, by the way. But better to know for sure.
    - "...the most likely thing that is wrong is your color-management on your computer is not working properly". It is a PC with Windows 7. I have been using Lightroom for maybe 6 years and I never had this problem before. The last time I changed my setup is more than a year ago and this problem only started to happen a short while ago (after the update to Lightroom 5.6? I'm not sure, but that's the only thing that has changed lately). I use a Spider to create a custom profile that is correct for my setup and do a regular update on the profile.
    - "what brand and model of monitor do you have?" I have an EIZO FlexScan S2411W and use that for a long time as well. I chose this brand of monitors for its good color reproduction and I have been happy with it for years now.
    What I am not getting is why would all this show a difference between the Library and Development module? The only difference is the Lightroom software that is switching from one module to another, and that should deliver the same photo. I'm also stating in my first post that the differences are very noticeable using the Adobe Standard Camera Profile in the Development module. I have a feeling that the profile is part of the problem.

  • Slow performance LR 1.3.1 (Library Module)

    LR 1.2 is running OK on my iMac. A while ago I tried LR 1.3. The upgrade really slowed down performance. Mostly a lag in the sliders and navigation tools in both Library and Develop modules that made it unworkable to me. I changed back to LR 1.2.
    Since I want to import Canon G9 RAW files into LR, I upgraded to LR 1.3.1 recently. Performance of sliders and the navigation tool in the Develop module seems the same as in LR 1.2 (or maybe even a little better). Which means it is OK (workable). It still shows the blur when navigating a 100% zoomed image though. But the navigation tool in the Library module still has the same slow performance as it had in LR 1.3. Unworkable!!! I tried everything: optimizing, new catalog, rendering previews, etc.
    I need the Library module to work smoothly (as in LR 1.2) in order to compare images at 100% zoom. I am afraid I have to go back to LR 1.2 again and find another solution for my Canon G9 RAW files. Most inconvenient. I am very disappointed. Especially, since Adobe showed they CAN get it right with the Develop module in version LR 1.3.1...
    Oh yeah, my system specs:
    iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    3GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM (2GB + 1GB)
    232,89 GB Harddrive, 113 GB available
    ATI Radeon X1600 128MB
    Mac OS 10.4.11
    Please Adobe, make the Library module run as smoothly as the Develop module in version 1.3.2...

    The preview folder is 2,11 GB big. The .lrcat is 47 MB big.
    I opened a new test catalog. I imported 326 images. After the import I rendered 1:1 previews. It took a long time. Real memory used was between 700-1000MB. Virtual memory used was between 1000-1400MB. When it was done rendering it still keep on using 700MB real memory and 1000MB virtual memory. I had to close LR and restart. Real memory after restart was 75MB real memory and 375 virtual memory.
    But it didn't matter. The lag in the navigation tool of the Library module was still there.
    I noticed that when clicking in the navigation window there was less delay as when I slide the white square in the window (in Library module). In the develop module this seems the other way around. Sliding showed less delay than clicking.
    What's going on here?
    I also have a MacBook. Performance seems much faster than on my iMac overall. After creating a new catalog and rendering 1:1 previews, the lag in the navigation window seems less than before. But it was still there...

  • Moving files and folders in the Library module

    I teach a lot of LR users and one area that's consistantly frustrating and unintuitive (even to some experienced users) are the rules for moving files and folders around in the Library module. I'm not sure I have all the right answers/suggestions/remedies but here are the basic points worth examining:
    1) Additional hard drives aren't listed unless images from it have been imported into Lightroom. It would be nice if people could add a new hard drive without importing files from it. People don't get it that you can select "Add Folder" from the Folders pop up menu. Classic example: Say someone has purchased a new hard drive for archiving purposes. It's empty and they want to drag folders of images onto it from within LR. Possible Solution: include a "Add Drive..." option from the Folder's panel + pop-up menu that would behave the same and add a root level folder.
    2) One can't drag more than one folder at a time. While I assume this is designed to prevent accidental mass movement it would be nice if one could enable the movement of multiple folders. 
    3) One can't drag a folder onto the main drive bar that lists the drive's name and capacities - one has to drag onto a folder within a drive. I'd love to be able to drag a folder onto the root level of a drive by dropping onto the drive bar (this would be similar to the MacOS finder).
    4) Sometimes the root level of a drive isn't apparent. One may need to right click on a folder and select "Show Parent Folder" to show the root level folder which is named after the volume. Showing a root "folder" that has the same name as the drive is also confusing to people since there isn't actually a folder on the hard drive with that name.  I completely understand why folders are hidden by default and I'm not sure the remedy is but, again, this isn't intuitive for new users. If #3 worked as described perhaps we could have root level access without the root folder?

    Perhaps I should add that I really like and appreciate a lot of the decisions that have already been implemented into the Library's Folder's tab. Moving files instead of copying them, showing only folders that contain imported images, the ability to show or hide parent folders.... Bravo!

  • LR 4 Library Module Applying Random Changes

    Hi,
    I have been using LR for a while and randomly started having an odd problem. After importing some images I was flipping through them in the Library Module and the loading animation was coming up across the bottom. After the loading animation stops, the colours willsaturate or the exposure will change slightly. If I go to the develop module, the history only includes the import and no sliders have been repositioned. Please check out the before/after pictures for clarification (hard to notice but the table cloth changes hue and saturation). I have default settings on quick develop, so it's not that. If anyone has any idea what is going on please let me know what to do to stop this!
    Before
    After
    Thanks in advance!

    Perfectly normal behavior for Lightroom.
    When the photo first appears, it is showing the embedded JPG preview. Then, a few seconds to a few minutes later, Lightroom renders the RAW photo, and the colors may indeed be different. There is no way to turn this off.

  • LR 5 Library module issues

    I have read all the problems that other have been having with LR5 & the library module running slow. I have been using LR5.2 since it was released with no issues of slowness, the only issue I had was that sometimes the position of images shown in LR did not match what was shown in Finder. Opening & closing LR seemed to correct this.
    I have a Mac with Version 10.8.5. 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i5, 4gb 1333 Mhz Memory & 3Tb hard drive. I have 56,000 images in one catalogue.
    Everything was fine until this morning. Last night I uploaded 700 images. This morning all was fine. I had shot some images to use for HDR, so decided to update Photomatix Pro HDR from version 4 to version 5. Despite following the instruction the automatic download & install did not load the plug in into LR & it kept loading version 4. I deleted Photomatix 4 & 5 from the computer & re-loaded version 5 only.
    From then on the library module has locked up & I can not get access to the catalogue. I have logged out & back in several times. I have a LR back-up & have exported the key words to a back up file.
    I am a photographer not a computer expert so if anyone is able to make any suggestions they will need to be simple.
    Is uninstalling both Photomatix Pro & Lightroom & reinstalling them an option?
    What do I need to carefull with so as not to lose information on the images?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Neil Vincent

    I had been using Photomatix Pro 4 as a plug-in to LR, I upgraded to Photomatix Pro 5, it appeared to have installed correctly.
    When it first happened I was in the library module as that is from where you access the plug in. I tried the plug in Photomatix Pro 5 for the first time & the HDR image which was created did not re appear in LR as it was supposed to. I tried a second time & the same thing happened, the image created did not appear in the LR light table view. I scrolled through the LR files on the LHS of the screen & found two “ghosted” image icons (still in LR library module). I tried to delete these from within LR & it would go through the normal delete screens but right after I clicked that I agreed to “remove them from the disc” a message would come up saying something like  “they could not be deleted as they were aliases”. (I cannot recreate this message as the library module is frozen)
    I tried a number of times but the same. I went to Finder to the original folder containing these “aliases” to delete them from there but they were not there. I searched Finder using “date created” but there were no files of that name.
    Using a program called Appcleaner I deleted all versions of Photomatix from the computer & then downloaded & re-installed Photomatix Pro 5. This time it worked with LR creating a HDR & loading it back into LR in the correct position. LR Library module was working fine at this point.
    The two “aliases” were still showing so I decided to close LR to see if that cleared them. When I reopened LR the files down the LHS in the library module did not all “fill” some were greyed out, when I tried to scroll down I noticed that some folders were missing. As I used the slider on the LHS to scroll down it would not go passed a point about halfway down the screen, it would let me go back up but not down passed that point. I was not able to expand the parent folders (the visible parent folders are six months shooting, inside each is the  individual shoot folders) but if I selected one of the parent folders slowly it would show all the images in that folder on the light table view but I was not able to scroll down those photos.
    I opened & closed LR several times with the same result. I completely shut down the computer & re-opened LR with the same result. I then changed modules to Develop module to see what was happening there, all was good, the same with the other modules. I then tried to go back into Library module & the tab in the top right hand corner changed from Develop to Library but rest of the screen stays as the develop module screen. The tabs along the top line only read Lightroom/File/Edit/Window/Help none of the other library module tabs are there, if I go into develop they are all as they should be. It stays like this... frozen, I can go back into the other modules & they work.
    While writing this email I switched back to the Library module & received an error message for the first time. It read “an error occurred when attempting to change modules”
    I have replied to your email directly as when I went to the forum I could not find a reply key. Where is this?

  • Secondary Display image quality is poor (at 1:1) in Library module

    I'm not a frequent user of the Secondary Display feature, so I can't say state whether this particular issue is new in 2.3RC or if it also was seen in a previous version. I submitted a bug report since I searched but did not find any previous mention of this sort of thing. Anyone else notice this?
    Here's my problem: When I'm using LR's Develop module and activate the Secondary Display (SD) window, the SD images for all zoom ratios seem identical in quality (sharpness. color) to the images seen in the main screen--as expected. However when I switch over to Library module and use 1:1 zoom, the SD image becomes relatively degraded (i.e., quite blurry/pixelated) compared to the main window. When SD is set at the lower zoom ratios (still in Library module) its quality seems fine--i.e., more or less indistinguishable from the main screen. It's only when SD is used at 1:1 in the Library module that it appears "buggy".
    I'm using a Mac Power PC G4, OSX 10.4.11.
    Phil
    P.S. I should mention that the image quality at 1:1 zoom in Library Module's Secondary Display is not only worse than the main Library screen, it's also significantly worse (less sharp) than seen in the Develop module--and that's certainly not unexpected.

    >Gordon McKinney:What happens is the second display doesn't render a 1:1 for optimal sharpness.
    For me it isn't just sharpness. I can make a change that is fairly radical and have it show up immediately in the main monitor--both in the navigation panel and in the main display panel. The image on the 2nd monitor remains unchanged.
    If I then use the history panel to move back to the previous state and then re-select the final state the image on the secondary display
    usually, not always gets updated. Sometimes it takes a 2nd or a third cycle from previous to latest history state. This 'missed update' in the 2nd monitor doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it does happen quite often.

  • ITunes bought on iPhone won't show up in iTunes Library on laptop

    if I buy a song from iTunes while on my phone, shouldn't it be in my iTunes library after I sync?
    I have a total of 53 songs on my phone, but only want 41 of them, but iTunes on my laptop is showing that I have only purchased 23 songs.
    none of the music that I bought from my phone since the last sync is showing up on iTunes library on my laptop.
    Essentially, there are songs on my phone that I don't want anymore, so I want to get everything off my phone and into iTunes, so I can manually drag the songs I still want back to my phone. I thought when I synced it, my entire iPhone/Ipod music library would go to iTunes on my laptop, and I could pick and choose what I wanted to drag back to my phone manually, but it's not working out that way. iTunes is almost empty, and only has the 23 songs I had when I first synced it forever ago, not the 53 songs I have currently. I have always only purchased songs while on my phone, so why are some of them on my iTunes Library, but not the most recent ones?

    Don't know (though it would be 30 songs, not 20). A third-party utility, of which there are many, for transferring content from an iPhone back to iTunes might do the job. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some suggestions:
