Sort by Develop Adjustments

I would like to be able to sort a set of photos by those that have Develop Adjustments and those that do not.  Is this easily done?  For now, I don't want to sort by the type of adjustment.....just whether or not an image has one.
Thanks

I was aware of the +- badge but didn't know about the smart collection "Un-Edited."  However, I do not see that "Un-Edited" smart collection.  There is a "Without Keywords" smart collection.  Is there a way to turn on/off these default ones?  I do have LR 4.0.
Thanks
P.S......by the way, about my question yesterday or the day before concerning my mismatch between my laptop Catalog settings and my desktop settings.....I didn't realize I had created so many HDR files on my laptop, along with their corresponding adjustment settings.  I was originally going to just forget about these and redo them on my desktop.  However, because there are so many, I think I'm just going to have to Export all of them on my laptop with the settings and reimport into my Desktop LR.  I'll just have to wait for my backup system to go through its paces and be patient while it does!

  • How do you filter for photos with develop adjustments?

    I wanted to put this information out there, because it was difficult for me to find an answer to the question of "how do you quickly filter for photos that have develop adjustments?"
    Some earlier posts in this forum observe that a smart collection has the ability to filter files wherein "has adjustments" is "true." Yes, it can do that. And it can also add in a "date" parameter for more specific targeting. But it cannot simply say, "in the current folder," or "in the selected folder." And frankly, that's the exact situation when I need to filter down to the files I want: I'm in a folder—typically the current folder that I've just imported—and I've done a smattering of develop adjustments. Now, I want to quickly select just those images for export. Can't be done, not with a Smart Collection, anyway.
    But Lightroom is nothing if not deep, and if you approach the problem from a filtering standpoint, it will eventually get you there—but the solution is very non-obvious. Expose the filter bar, with your favorite preset: camera info, default columns... it doesn't really matter. Hover over the header bar and to the far right will become visible the "add column" widget. Add a column. From the pop-up menu on the name will come a long list of options, the second-to-last of which is "develop preset." Once that's in place, click on "custom." Save your current settings as a new preset and give it a descriptive name like "adjusted images."
    Now, when you're in your current—or any—folder, just click on "metadata" in the filter bar, and your custom preset will be in effect: any images that you've worked on will be selected. It's a fast, one-click selection.
    If there's another way of doing this (keep in mind it's for the selected or current folder only), let me know. It's such a seemingly desirable action that I'm kind of astounded there's no built-in or easy or obvious way to do it... or that no photographer has requested it.

    I am honored to have a response from Rikk "MVP" Flohr, and I do readily agree that your approach is one way to approach the issue. It puts the relevant images in a discrete area that is easy to access. However (this is where I look a gift horse in the mouth) I find "sorts" a bit underwhelming in comparison to "filtering." Two problems: first, the sort still does not 'clear your deck' of unwanted images. You still have to squint at the badges and carefully select the range at the top (or bottom). Mistakes can be made (and I would be the first to make them). Second, the sort command is "sticky," meaning that folder will always have that sort unless you undo it. In general, I think most photographers want to see a folder's images sorted by capture time, so they can easily glance to the beginning, middle, and end of the shoot. With my method, once you click out of the folder, the filter is taken away and you're back to normal.
    I do understand that Lightroom wants me to flag my images with rankings or stars or colors or dancing beavers or what-have-you. But in this particular situation, that's an extra step. If I've applied development adjustments, it's already done. Why shouldn't I be able to choose "Select Developed Photos" from the Edit menu, right under "Select Flagged Photos"?

  • How can I create a new catalog of all my photos with no develop adjustments?

    I use Lightroom 4.3.  I tried this by deleting the old catalog, and creating a new one, thinking that the develop adjustments would no longer exist after first deleting the old catalog.  The develop adjustments were still there.  (I deleted the catalog out of the lightroom sub-folder of My Pictures.) 
    The reason that I want to do this is that I have one folder (of about 800 important photos) where something went very wrong in Lightroom, and every time I try to pull up one of the photos my whole computer stalls.  Everything works beautifully in my other folders.  I even re-installed Lightroom.  I want to re-add those dng photos without the develop adjustments.  It doesn't bother me if none of my files have develop adjustments.  I save all of my files after they are adjusted.  I save the DNGs also. 
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    One easy way: reset after importing (which can be done from library module - e.g. main menu, context menu, quick-develop...). If you can't even get that far, consider using exiftool to strip the xmp from DNGs and/or jpegs, or just delete xmp sidecar file in case of proprietary raw.

  • Save metadata to file + Edit in PS = Reset develop adjustments?

    Hello:
    I don't know if this issue has been raised  before, since it's not easy to describe it and, hence, to perform a  search based on it. I would like to know if this is a bug or there is  some reason for it which I haven't think of yet.
    Let me explain... I use LR 3.3 to develop a raw file  as usual. Ok. Then I do "Edit in PS" to perform some pixel edition, then  back to Lr. Next, I apply some LR adjustments to the resulting file  (PSD or TIFF, depending on the preferences) that I just edited in PS. So  far, everything's fine: I can keep going back and forth between PS and  LR without trouble...
    ... but if I save metadata to  file (control+S), and then try to edit the PSD/TIFF as "original" in PS,  guess what: the file opens in PS with the LR adjustments not visible  (this is normal), but simultaneously, the develop settings for the file  are reset in Lightroom! So, to summarize:
    1) I develop a raw file using LR adjustments
    2) I edit in PS and save as PSD (or tiff, depending on the preferences)
    3) Back in LR, i apply some develop adjustments to the new PSD/TIFF file.
    4) I save metadata to file and choose "edit in PS as original"
    5) The file opens in PS, but the settings for the file are reset in LR!
    This  doesn't happen if I uncheck the "Include develop settings in metadata  in jpg, tiff and psd files" in the Metadata tab of the Catalog  preferences.
    I could record a video (screencast) if the explanation is not clear enough. Thanks in advance for your answers!

    I have recorded a screencast. For some reason, now I can't make it happen the first time around - I have had to do it twice this time (save metadata to psd file, edit in Ps, close Ps, save metadata to psd file, edit in Ps).
    I won't go into details since I think the video is pretty self explanatory. I know it's not usual to save metadata to file (including develop settings) just before editing in PS, but... is this normal, expected behavior? Am I doing something wrong without noticing? Same thing happen both in my desktop PC (Win 7 64, LR 3.3, CS5 64) and my laptop (Vista 32, LR 3.3, CS5 32).
    Thanks for your help.

  • "Photo has Develop adjustments" when none made

    Hello,
    I am importing a JPG photo into Lightroom 5.4.
    In the Import screen, in the "Apply During Import" section, both the "Develop Settings" and the "Metadata" fields are set to "None".
    Yet, as the import process progresses, I see the correct thumbnail being changed as develop adjustments take place automatically (cropping and turning the colour image into black and white, at least that's all I notice). Why does this happen and how can I prevent it from happening?
    I assume the instructions are embedded in the JPG file, which I created in Photoshop (and saved as both PSD and JPG), since it happens in two Lightroom installations, one on the Mac and one on Windows 7 (brand new installation). When I switch to the Develop module, the only step in history is the import.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
    Thanks,
    Gabor

    Yet, as the import process progresses, I see the correct thumbnail being changed as develop adjustments take place automatically (cropping and turning the colour image into black and white, at least that's all I notice). Why does this happen and how can I prevent it from happening?
    Initially, Lightroom is showing you the RAW file's embedded JPG preview, which has all in-camera adjustments applied.
    When it changes, you get a completely unadjusted RAW photo, none of the in-camera adjustments are applied. It is then up to you to edit the photo to make it look the way you want.
    There is no way to prevent this from happening in Lightroom.
    If you really like the initial view, then you might want to shoot JPG instead of RAW; or alternatively learn to use Lightroom to produce photos that might have superior image quality to the JPG. You can, if you want, develop your own Lightroom presets that can be applied either globally or individually to enhance your photos.
    I disagree that the initial view you see is "correct" (your word) as there are an infinite number of renderings of this image, it is not reasonable to say that one is "correct"; the JPG view is still edited in various ways by the in-camera algorithm, there is nothing sacred or correct about the in-camera algorithm.

  • Lightroom 4-not retaining develop adjustments when I move to photoshop

    I have used lightroom for years-never had this issue. I am using a Pc with WIndows 8. Recently had hard drive crash so only just reinstalled lightroom in last few weeks but all was working fine until last few days. First it just wouldn't open a file I wanted in Photoshop at all. Just got stuck/ignored request. When I closed program it would not reopen progam unless I rebooted computer. Now it will take any photo into photoshop when I click photo-edit in Photoshop 5.1 but it opens the version of the file with no develop adjustments at all! It will retain a crop if I make one but that is it! Don't recall changing anything that would cause this.
    Stephanie

    That was it!  They were not in the same color space. I had to change my preferences in Lightroom under the External Editing tab and then on the "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6" section to match the other photos color space, which as sRGB.  I had my preference on ProPhoto RGB. 
      So for those looking for the same answer, I will make it clear for you.
        In lightroom click on "Edit" on the top left...
        then click on "Preferences" (or hot key Ctrl + ,)
        click on the "External Editing" tab......
        then on the top of the panel you will see the "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6" section. 
        Adjust the color space to the same color space of the other picture. (you can see that info in Photoshop on the top tab of the file). 
        The bit rate did not matter for me.  I was able to see the lightroom adjustments copied with both the 8bit and 16bit when the file I was copying to was only 8bit.  So you only need to change the color space.......most likely it will be sRGB.
    Thank you c.pfaffenbichler.     

  • Filter on "Photo has Develop adjustments" flag?

    Is there any way to filter on the "Photo has Develop adjustments" flag? I can't find it, but the filtering capability seems a bit opaque to me so maybe I'm just missing it.

    Mike, once you're in the smart collection, you can then filter further by using the filter bar in grid view (if it's missing, hit the '\' key). You can type the directory name in the text filter. If you have directories with similar names, I saw a post from Dirk Jan de Ridder that shows how to search for exact words:
    Try
    +Fall+ (finds all photos containing the exact word 'fall')
    +Fall (all photos starting with 'fall')
    Fall+ (all photos ending with 'fall')

  • Find Photos with Development Adjustments

    Let's say I have 100 photos in my folder/collection/whatever.
    But only 2 have any Development Adjustments applied - the other 98 are untouched.
    Is there any way in Lightroom to perform a Find / Filter / something so that only the 2 modified photos are shown?

    The reason I ask is that I'm importing JPGs. They, of course, end up in separate folders. Most of them are fine, but a few need tweaking.
    This might happen over the course of a month.
    So at the end of the month, I might have 15 directories - mostly original JPGs but a few edited.
    In order to upload my pics to Snapfish, I have to "export" the modified JPGs to a new JPG, but only *copy* the unmodified.
    If I forget to export the modified JPGs, when I upload I'll be copying the original JPG sans LR edits, hence my need for a quick and foolproof way of finding altered JPGs.

  • View only images without develop adjustments

    Hey guys!
    Is there a way to use filters to view images that have not been adjusted in the develop module yet?
    I've gone through all 5600 images from a project and made adjustments to them while it was in a manual sort view.
    Now that my manual sort mode has moved them around again, i need to make sure I have made adjustments to ALL of my images.
    So I'll looking for the drop down filter menu that allows to to check box "develop adjusted" or "unadjusted"....
    Does this make sense?
    Thanks

  • Feature Request: Clip Develop Adjustments at Min/Max instead of Default

  • LR5 - Develop Adjustments - History

    I noticed a odd behavior with regard photos imported em February 2013 with previous version or LR4:
    photos already adjusted have a new history step line: "From Metadata";
    photos not yet adjusted have the new history step line "Reset Settings" after the "import (dd-mm-yy hh:mm:ss)".
    Can anyone tell me why this procedure.
    Thanks for your help.
    Daniel Bastos

    There is something very buggy about this whole thing.  In addition to what Cor notes above, after all of my history steps are removed by lightroom and I am left with the two lines Cor mentions, if I hit "\" then the image appears as it did BEFORE history steps were deleted except for any crop info.  But I cannot due anything with this version.  So I go to Cor's line 1 which immediately sjumps me to line 2 as he points out.  Then I do an update to current process (2003-2012) , begin processing the image, but then want to look at image as I imported it, so click on line 1 and ZAP all my history steps are erased and I am back to 2003 process at import time.  If I click instead on Cor's line 2, it shows image at import but does not delete my processing steps.  What gives here???

  • How do I update Develop Adjustments?

    I would like to save Devolop Settings made in Lightroom so that they are updated and visible in Bridge.
    It appears that changes made in ACR are recognized by Lightroom...
    I just want it to work all the way around..

    There's a command to write XMP data to your images. Ctrl/Cmd S will do it.

  • Prority applying filters in Develope module

    LR is one of the best tools for those who wnat quick ranking, metadata editing for copyright, sorting and processing LARGE quantities of files...
    Among those photographers wedding, event and sport shooters are those who really need to fastly sort thigns outm they are most interested in using LR.
    also, the same photographers work in the most critical lightning environments, very often we shoot in very bad lightning at very high ISO settings.
    for us noise is a real pain.
    as we all know, advanced processing of a very noisy raw material exponentially increase noise levels in the final product.
    for this reason, inside PS, our workflow include NR filters among the first operations we do...
    this way, working on a cleaner background, the noise is kept under a relative control.
    often, at the end of our workflow we again trim the nise as a final touch...
    back to lightroom, few questons and requests are born from this imediate reality we confront each day:
    1. LR offers NO control regarding order develope adjustments are applied... this is sometimes good, other times a real pain...
    2. there is no information regarding WHICH is the order those filtes are applied when developing RAW files... NONE.
    we could guess the order they appear in XML files and inside develope module is the order they are considered when RAW information is processed?
    that mean noise is indeed among the last filters applied, correct me if i am wrong.
    3. how we could maximize our results? just make minimum adjustments in LR, go to PS, where we can control the order of applying filters, process and export from there???
    not exactly compatible with our need for speed and easy processing large quantities of files that make us choose LR, isn't it?
    not to mention RAW data offers much more "hidden" info we can bring to life thru processing compared to exported PS files, even 16 bit tiffs are not as "good" on this regard...this is the reason we shoot raw, to benefit from this better latitude of information raw's offers ....
    4. now the requests themselves:
    a} please allow us to choosethe order of applying these filters...maybe not all, not all are that critical, but things like NR we should be able to put among the first filters applied.
    if Adobe already thought about this and NR is among the first on that list, please let us know. we NEED to know , we need that info, we need control.
    b} please allow us to double the filter alteration.
    as i said, we often apply a NR fiter at the beggining of the workflow and then again, another NR with softer settings at the end of the workflow, sometimes just before the final sharpening.
    such flexibility and customization availability would really help us, especially those who really need lightroom and do not have the time to bring every picture in PS and tweak it...
    imagine shooting 1000 pictures in one session with a delivery deadline of 24 hours...LR is great help, have a lot of great features and we really apreciate the wayit works, even this elastic way of applying filters inside develope module...
    BUT it would be a much better tool with more flexibility available.
    Thanks Adobe, i also compelted an official request form regarding this subject.
    maybe someone who really knows how things work inside developing engine could bring some light in this regard, how things really work right now,even this info could be very helpfull.
    regards ,Liviu

    first i need to KNOW officially how thigns work, if ucan offer me a proof i'd gladly accept that.
    second, as i said, adobe might have think about that, is a request area and i have theright to request what I think is usefull to me.
    i ask for more CONTROL, what is wrong about that?
    i also request for 2 alteration using the same filter, NR in this case, once at the beggining and one at the eng of the developing process, i am also entitled to ask for such a thing, right?
    qith all due respect, if u do not have similar needs please allow me to ask , understand and not suppose adobe thought of everything and there is no better way, ok?
    here is a quote from a XMP file, i PRESUME the order if operation inside that file is the one processes are piped, am i wrong again?

    so ,as u see i spaced the noise reduction fucntions in order to make them more visible, i can;t use colors to underline what i consider important, ok?
    SO, as u can see here, WB, exposure, contrast, SHARPNESS, brightness, SHADDOWS are ALL listed BEFORE noise reduction...
    later on the end of the list there is ANOTHER sharpening listed, so double fiter IS ALREADY applied, thus possible, right???
    again, ALL fiters applied BEFORE NR influences noise levels, all increse noise, more or less....
    WB influences exposure, try to go 50000 and see where hystogram goes to the right...
    exposure also increase noise in shaddow areas.
    contrast increse noise.
    brightness also influence noise.
    Shaddows are working exactly on most noisiest levels, the shades...
    sharpness before NR??? indeed, is "well thought"...
    so, Lee jay, seems i am not that wrong after all, isn't it???
    i really hope that order inside XMP to mean nothing but i really doubt is meaningless ...
    and again, even if a were wrong, i am entitled to ask explanations as i pay for this product. I also am entitled to ask for what i consider improvements, if Adobe decide to implement or not is another discussion...
    a little "friendlier" tone in your replies would also be apreciated, thank you in advance. i hope u do not work for Adobe ;)
    so, i am waiting for documented proofs related to my questions, thank you Adobe.

  • Allow editing metadata in develop mode

    My biggest dissatisfaction about Lightroom right now is the distinction between Library and Develop modes or views. I would dearly love to get rid of the "quick develop" panel - perhaps make that something that could be displayed via the application prefs - and put the keywords and metadata panels into the develop module. I find myself frequently wanting to switch from one module to another - to add a keyword while I'm adjusting the exposure, or to jump over to the editable histogram while I'm sorting out the keepers from the losers. I don't currently use the Web or Print modules at all, so I just ignore them.
    Will

    Quick Develop serves 2 purposes - adjustment of lots of images in increments, and adjustment so you can compare and evaluate images (eg when you've been bracketting). It also uses cached data, while Develop accesses the original image data - so things happen quicker.
    I didn't like QD at first either, but I'd recommend you give it more of a chance and don't delete it (you can Alt/Opt click it). Secondly, Ctrl/Cmd click the Sync button in Develop so you enter Auto Sync mode - this makes Develop adjustments apply to all selected items and great reduces the back and forth between Library and Develop.
