Softproofing won't work Lightroom 4.1

I upgraded to Lightroom 4.1 yesterday and now softproofing won't work. It just shows a 50% gray block where the softproof picture should be. It worked OK in version 4.0. What happened?

I didn't think about switching profiles but just did based on your questions. It worked. When I switched back to the profile that didn't work, it also worked. Everything looks OK now. I don't know what happened but thanks for your response. If I have any other problems, I'll let you know.

Can you describe the profile you are trying to use? Where did it come from? What OS? Does this occur with all profiles or only this one?

    You can try downloading Light room 4 from here:

    Prior to install, do ensure that the machine is compatible & the machine has all the permission to download & install.

  • Lightroom 3 and PSE10 layers won't work?

    I recently purchased Lightroom 3 and installed on my computer running Windows 7.  I already had Photoshop Elements 10 installed and that and Nikon Capture NX2 were what I used for editing.  PSE8 is also still installed on my computer.  When I choose to send a photo from LR3 to PSE10 for editing, all the layers choices are grayed out.  I have searched, I promise, but have not found the answer for these two combinations.  Can someone help me please?  Thank you.  All the versions are updated.

    Thanks. That did it.  Now, if I could figure out about a thousand other things, I'd be all set!

    my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.

    Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files.  If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account.  You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

  • Serial number won't work for lightroom 5, how do I get a correct activation

    I've used it before, but my harddrive died, and have to reinstall everything, and my serial number from my receipt will not work.  HELP!!

    I've done that as well.  It still won't work.  I guess I'll uninstall (I installed the trial, have done this before without any problem and than added the serial number (on the second hard drive in two months)).  Would the program think this was a new computer and not install it, because it was installed on a computer before?  I don't know I'm just trying to think of anything to do.

  • My cataloge won't open, says it is corrupt and repair won't work and I can't access anything.

    Don't know what happened. Closed Lightroom after working on photos and now it won't open again. I get a pop up saying the cataloge is corrupt and when I try to repair, it won't work. The AdobeTech note comes up as an error page. I desperately need to open it as all of my recent vacation photos are on it and only half finished. Supposed to be showing them at a party this weekend.
    Please can anyone help?

    If you save (xmp) metadata as you go, then you never have to redo editing work when falling to backup catalog (just sayin'..).
    PS - all develop settings and almost all metadata will be in xmp if saved, but not everything from catalog is contained in xmp (and not everything in Lightroom is contained in your catalog!).

  • Import using develop presets won't work!

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded from LR2 to LR3. A lot to hate in this new version. But I suppose one needs to adjust and no doubt I will, but there is one thing that is about to drive me up the wall. Something I haven't been able to fix, so here I am, looking for a bit of help.
    Here's the problem:
    Because I don't like Lightroom's Sharpening & Noise Reduction settings, I used a preset in LR2 that I applied automatically when importing my images into LR. Now, with Lightroom 3 this just won't work properly and I get exclamation marks, indicating those images are not in the 2010 develop environment. I realised I was using my old presets, created in LR2, so that made sense. So I first deleted all my old presets and to make sure, I also deleted my metadata preset that I also apply on import. I couldn't find a way to delete those presets from within Lightroom by the way. So I just went to the library and trashed them manually...
    Next:
    I open LR3. Now I have no user presets anymore, of any kind. I then import the first image of today's shoot. In the develop module I make sure that I'm working in the 2010 process environment. I set Sharpening and Noise Reduction to what I want them to be and make them a preset. Then I made another preset for my metadata. But after importing the rest of today's shoot with the presets I have just created, it will not accept the 2010 settings and I get the exclamation mark with every image. I have checked that the culprit is not the metadata file. If I use only that to import an image and leave the Develop Settings on None, all is well, and the image is regarded as being in the 2010 process state. If I then *manually* apply my earlier created Noise Reduction/Sharpening preset, it accepts it and all is well. But as soon as I try to apply that same preset again when importing my images, then, when I go to the develop module, the image is suddenly in the 2003 environment again and I get the exclamation marks. I have tried everything I can think of but I cannot escape it any longer: I have been defeated by Lightroom 3. What on earth am I doing wrong here? Anybody?

    Yes, I get the same thing with the sliders being greyed out. Funny thing is that the sliders *are* set exactly as in my preset and when I click 'yes update' to 2010 standards, the settings don't change but only the sliders become accessible. The thing is that I really don't want to be doing that with every import, even if you can do the whole batch at once. What I don't understand is that when I import with the preset turned off and apply it in Lightroom's Develop Module, it accepts it without a problem but that when I use the same preset on import, it won't work properly.
    Now what the poster in the other thread said was:
    "When I saved a new preset and selected to also save the process version,  a line in the preset was created:  ProcessVersion = "5.7".  When I cut  and paste that into all my other presets then the sliders were all  active when I used them."
    I have no idea what he is talking about or how one would do that. When I create a preset I simply click the + sign and in the pop up window select what I want, give it a name and that's it.
    Edit: Sorry, I apparently overlooked the Process Version box in the preset panel! Must have been a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Problem solved. Thanks.

  • Why won't my Lightroom 5.3 import files anymore?

    I'm on a Mac with Lightroom 5.3 freshly installed. It worked neatly for a couple of days when importing either from my iPhone or my 6D (from the card reader). Suddenly it stopped doing that. I've been through all the discussions and I've tried the following steps:
    - delete the preference file (and re-start Lightroom)
    - re-install Lightroom
    - create a new catalogue (won't work either)
    - checked the permissions (as in the beginning, it would tell me that it can't read my files - but they worked perfectly!), which were fine
    - cleared the "recently used" file paths of the import dialogue
    - re-booted my Mac about a gazillion times
    - updated the RAW software
    - re-installed Lightroom again (but having deleted pretty much everything from the HD that was Lightroom related)
    It just won't work. But before I re-installed Lightroom, it would still give me the "error: can't read files" sign. Now, it simply starts importing (the progress bar starts anyway) and then it just stops at one point, not having imported anything. Lightroom doesn't freeze, it just doesn't do anything and the progress bar stops. I wanted to  attach a screenshot to show you what it looks like right now, but that didn't work either, so whatever.
    Here's the thing: it still works in Lightroom 4. So now I've been importing into Lightroom 4 and adding the files without moving them to Lightroom 5. But what kind of workflow is that? It's literally killing me because I've paid money for the software and I was patient enough to go over all the trouble shooting, but I'm really out of wit. I hope somebody can help me with this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is my observation:
    My Pictures and my Movies folder are on an external harddisk. I have an alias for both of them in my User folder.
    The Finder can access the catalogs on the external harddisk without problems.
    When I create a catalog on my SSD, detach the external drive, delete the aliases and create folders Pictures and Movies on the SSD everything is fine.
    When I delete the folders Pictures and Movies on the SSD again, attach the external drive and re-create the aliases things go wrong.
    The problem is that Lightroom can't handle the alias! That's all.
    This problem has never been an issue until the lastest version (5.7) of LR.
    Whatever I do in terms of access rights to the alias and/or the folder the alias points to, it won't work.
    Please fix this URGENTLY!

  • Camera RAW 431 won't work on my Vista 64 machine.

    Vista 64
    CS3
    Camera RAW 431 won't work on my Vista 64 machine. I keep getting the error that it's the wrong file type when trying to open the RAW file, and I get no thumbnails. I've deleted all cache files manually--not using the Adobe help because their wrong about their file locations, that's for Windows XP and not Vista. (You can't access "Documents and Settings" in Vista, and there is no:
    Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    Vista:Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    I even uninstalled the entire CS3 Suite and reinstalled it. It still won't work. In fact, I can't even use the old raw plugin file anymore--it now won't open RAW files either.
    Anyway, I just need a confirmation that Camera RAW 431 actually works in Vista 64, since the directions do not in the least relate to Vista 64, but, rather, Windows XP, and the method used to get RAW 431 to work in Vista 64.
    Thanks

    Zippy,
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\" is the location of 32-bit apps (like Photoshop CS3) in 64-bit Vista. It is known as simply "C:\Program Files\" in all 32-bit editions of Windows. Since the vast majority of Windows/Photoshop users are likely still on a 32-bit platform, it is understandable why the instructions omit the 64-bit specific folder path.
    The VirtualStore copy indicates that at some point, you (or Photoshop) attempted a programmatic update of the file, and it attempted to write into the restricted Common Files folder. Vista redirected that to the VirtualStore folder instead. On my 64-bit Vista install, I have no Adobe files in there at all... this is likely due to my insistence on manual updates.
    I would try this:
    1. Backup all your personal Photoshop files (actions, palettes, window positions, keyboard shortcuts, brushes, etc.).
    2. Uninstall Photoshop CS3 as best you can.
    3. Manually delete all Photoshop-related folders inside the VirtualStore. You may have to look inside both the virtualised "Program Files (x86)\Common Files" and "Program Files (x86)\Adobe" folders.
    4. Run the WinCS3Clean script to ensure there are no problematic bits left over from your beta CS3 install. I'm hoping your manual excursion through the Windows registry did not hurt more than it helped.
    5. Reinstall CS3 and manually update the "Camera Raw.8bi" plugin. I put mine in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\".
    Depending on how your OS is configured, it may be easier if you login as Administrator first. Photoshop CS3, Bridge 2.1, ACR 4.4 (and all previous versions) and Lightroom 1.4 (and all previous versions) work as expected on my 64-bit Vista machine here, so this is not a general compatibility issue.

  • Serial number won't work

    trying to install lightroom 4 on my laptop. The serial number won't work, doesn't even seem like the right number of digits.

    A Lightroom serial number should consist of 6 groups of 4 digits with no letters, for a total of 24 digits and the first four digits are 1160.   Or at least this is the pattern I see for my LR purchases over the years, where they are are individual licneses, not Educational or Team or Enterprise. 
    How and where did you buy LR?  If it was a box in a store, perhaps what you’re seeing is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website:

  • Licence number won't work

    My brand new Lightroom number (from Leica) won't work. It says "wrong number", anyone knows why a valid number can't work ? Adobe has always been so annoying with anti piracy policy so that's why I stopped using it years ago, and I see it's getting worse with the cloud now…

    I had a simular problem with my serial number.  I found out that I had a serial number for LR windows/mac client and I had LR creative cloud on my Mac.  The number worked once I had downloaded the LR client install software.  But it took me some time to find that download area on Adobe's website, they obviously want to sell the cloud version.

  • HP LaserJet Pro C1415fn color MFP - fax won't work

    I have a LaserJet Pro CM1415fn color MFP on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I've been using the printer for two years now.
    At the moment the fax function only works if I use it manually (i.e. if I place a sheet of paper on the scanner, select the "Fax" button on the printer touch pad and dial the number). However, if I want to send a fax via the PC interface, it won't work.
    For example, if I open a PDF, click on "Print" and select "HP LaserJet Professional CM 1410 Series Fax", nothing happens -- no window/interface will open. If I select "HP Send Fax" or "HP Fax Setup Wizard" from the program menu, nothing happens.
    I've always been sending faxes this way and I just don't know what happened... Can anyone please help?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Clabee ,
    I see that you can't fax from the PC anymore. I can help you with this.
    If this just recently happened, I would do a System Restore back to when everything was working properly.
    System Restore for Windows 7.
    If you would prefer not to do the System Restore, uninstall and reinstall the printer software. It might become corrupted.
    Here are the steps to run the uninstall from the computer or the CD.
    To uninstall from program files:
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window.
    Select the C drive.
    Select program files or program files x86.
    Open the HP and printer name folder.
    Select uninstall.
    Uninstall the software from the CD:
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
    Disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software. How to use MSCONFIG .
    Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
    Download, save and install the latest drivers.
    HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer Drivers.
    Test the printer and try sending a fax again from the PC.
    Then you will need to go back in and enable the start up programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a wonderful day!
    Thank You.
