Uploading in LR3

I recently returned from a vacation where I shot with two Canons, plus my iPhone. When I uploaded to LR3 my goal was to move photos from all three devices into a folder called 'March' within my master 2012 folder. The two Canon uploads landed in the March folder, but the iPhone photos seem to have created a duplicate 2012 master folder, and a duplicate March folder with just the iPhone images in it.
How do I avoid this going forward?
And how best to move the iPhone photos into the March folder with the Canon images?
Thanks
Greg

No, it's the other way round.
If you make such changes in Mac Finder / Win Explorer you get "missing folder" / "missing image" messages because Lr ha  lost track of where the images are.
Do it in Lr and you'll be OK.
To include a screen shot you have to save it as a jpg then click on the camera icon in the header of your answer and navigate to where you saved the jpg.

  • Lr3 upload in library or develop

    Uploading pictures in library or develop with the trial Lr3 is very slow. I work with a Mac OS X, 4 GB memory....
    Trash is empty, available memory 2,54 BG, 1,45 in use.
    I had the same problem with my Lr version Lr 2.6, it became suddenly slow from one day into another??
    What can/must I do???
    Tina Piano

    Maybe it'the old bug that gets out of metadata entry at some point and further keystrokes act as shortcuts. "D" gets you to develop, "R" to crop etc.
    Do you have xmp auto-write? Having it on increases the chance of such behaviour.

  • LR3 Flickr upload problem

    Keep getting "Connection Broken" when I try to upload.
    I followed the instructions to allow LR3 to interact with Flickr.
    When I select a group of photo's to be uploaded, a box opens that asks for my Password.
    Interestingly there is a box also for User Name but it is not requested?
    When I then press Upload, it appears to start but then gives me the message above.
    I am using the 30 Day Trial. Could that be it? Is upload disabled in the Trial?
    Regards,
    Bill

    I migrated from the LR 3 beta to the 30 day trial and have a flickr pro account with no issues with connection or publishing other than some minor LR Bugs of photo's occassionally getting "stuck" (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2910399#2910399 in case interested when you get it working).
    You mentioned an "Upload" button or menu... "When I then press Upload".  I've not seen that on my LR it is normally labeled "Publish" for me, just checking.    If you edit your connection settings does it show "Logged in as ..." with the "Log in" button disabled or "Not logged in"? 
    If not logged in have you tried it again by pressing the button?  
    Beyond that I've no ideas, but at least you should know that it is not a tial problem

  • LR3: Repeatable Crash on Web Upload

    Each time I try to upload a photo web collection to my site using SFTP, my 64-bit Windows edition of  Lightroom 3 crashes.  The status shows that the export stage is complete, and that it's preparing the web site -- although I think the crash is actually happening at the beginning of the upload step (I say this because "Export" seems to create the site just fine on my local disk). 
    When changing the connection settings, Lightroom  seems to navigate the SFTP connection just fine, so I think my connection parameters are correct (This catalog was converted from Lightroom 1, and everything worked well there...).
    I'm using the "Dark Poppy Seed - HTML" template.

    Well, unfortunately, this hasn't been fixed in LR 3.3 (Final) either.  As with all LR 3 versions before, the process gets to 50%, and then, like clockwork, LR suffers an 'APPCRASH' with substrate.dll as the "fault module."
    Since there's no Christmas present in LR 3.3 for those of us with this issue, I do humbly ask that those afflicted fill out a bug report if you haven't already:

  • Can't upload images from iPhone 4S to LR3

    Hi, I upgraded my iPhone 4S to ios 6 yesterday.  When I tried to backup images from the iphone to LR 3, at first it wouldn't recognize the device.  I opened iTunes, let it sync, then closed it. Next, I opened LR and it recognized the device, went thru a whole process of appearing to upload, but then it stopped and I got the message:  "The following files were not imprted because they could not be read. (4015).  None of the images uploaded.  What do you recommend?
    Also, I can't get Image Capture to connect with iPhone though I did choose that in iPhoto.

    Hey!
    Are you trying to add photos to your photo stream, or are you simply trying to store photos in iCloud? Have you tried going into Settings>iCloud>Photos and making sure that is "On"? Is "Photo Stream" set to "On" as well?
    Hopefully that resolves the issue

  • How to Increase Number of Images from 500 in a LR3 Flash Gallery

    I noticed people asking (and I myself needed to know) so I thought I would explain how to increase the number of images (from 500) in a Flash gallery in Light Room 3
    1. I exported a Flash gallery from LR3 and it capped the gallery at 500 images.
    2.  Because I had roughly 600 images to put in the gallery, I exported the  remaining 100 as a separate flash gallery. (Going ahead and exporting 2  galleries will save you headache in a later step)
    3. I combined  all the images folders (copying "large" images from one folder to the  "large" folder in the gallery I want to upload to my site, etc.) so that  the files are all in one location.
    4. The next step is to  increase the gallery maximum in the code. Access (from the exported  gallery) GALLERYNAME/resources/mediaGroupData/group.xml and open the group.xml file. The line of code you will be changing is <media totalGallerySize="500"> Change the 500 to the number of photos you want in the gallery.
    5.  This next step isn't too complicated, but it is specific. You know have  to tell that flash file to look for the images you just transferred to  the images folder. The best way to do this is to open the group.xml file  for the second gallery you exported. Copy all the code beginning with <item>  to the bottom of the page. This code tells the gallery to look at your  specific images (Note: you'll notice within each item the names of your  image file)
    6. Return to the (other) group.xml file of the gallery you plan to use (with all your images in it). Scroll to the bottom and erase the lines </media> and </mediagroup> becaue you will repaste them in a moment. Next, paste the copied code there.
    7. Save & check your browser!
    I hope this was clear...please comment back and I'll clarify if needed.
    ro

    500 images in a single gallery is too many - think of the poor viewer!
    But if you must create Flash galeries with more than 500 images, you're better off editing the underlying engine - here's one link showing how to do it

  • How do I permanently save edits I make in LR3?

    I am new to this software. I  have an existing collection of over 40,000 images. I am an amateur photographer making images for
    my own amusement, and I also document objects that are brought to me for restoration. Both purposes are very important to me.
    I have been using Picasa to manage my photos for several years. While it is limited, it is very elegant and easy to use. It also does not change the original file until a request is made for a permanent change, at which point a backup original is made. Once saved, the picasa edit can be viewed by any other viewer, software or browser I am aware of.
    I am liking all the manipulations that are possible with LR3. I am concerned that there seems to be no way to save an edited file so that it can be viewed using other (non adobe) software. I want to be able to upload images to my website, and to be able to share with my customers, friends, family etc.  I do not want to be locked in to Flickr . I am very concerned that I might spend huge amounts of time learning LR3 then even huger amounts of time editing my images with it, only to find at some point down the road that I will be locked in and unable to see my work using another software/viewer/browser. I.E. what if I were to convert to a Mac and decide to use Aperture 3 instead? What if somebody else comes up with software I prefer and wish to change?  Am I always going to be bound up with LR to see my edited work? What if Adobe decides to no longer support LR3 and replaces it with a product that I find unacceptable, unaffordale or incomprehensible?  (all three  scenarios have happened to me in the past).  Will I have to rework thousands of images years from now? I am very confused about this, and would much rather drop the software now before I get in too deep. I absolutely do not want to be commited to having to use anybody's software forever.
    I see the line "Web Photo Gallery created by Adobe Lightroom." and it terrifies me. I may have used a Pentax camera, and Adobe software, but the images were created by me, and I wish to retain total control over my work.

    I quite understand and greatly value the non invasive features that preserve the original data.
    I also appreciate basics, from which I can learn and extrapolate.
    I edited and exported a dng file, to a jpeg format, it went from 9mb to 865kb
    I edited and exported a 9.6mb jpg which became a 1.5 mg jpg.
    I did a separate edit (major crop) and small adjustements using Picasa, and saved a copy. Both jpg.
    The original was 11.4 mb, and the copy 5.2 mb.Used the same file to do an edit using the camera mfg
    software, and the file went from 11.4 to 983kb
    I may be missing something very obvious or I may be overly paranoid.
    Most of the time, once I am done with an edit, I do not wish to revisit.
    I am concerned about what happens to 90% or so of the data. I remain
    unclear  about the integrity of the "exported"/ "saved" edit in the event that original file/data is lost, or separated from
    the LR coding instructions,
    or if LR becomes unsupported or abandoned.
    Being able to reference conservation treatment data 10 or 15 years down the road can be critical.
    Memory is cheap. If the answer is multiple back ups for original data, metadata, and pertinent software, then
    that is an answer.  If it means the editied image is forever and permanently linked to LR, and without LR,
    the original file must be re-edited to similar result, that is also an answer. If the loss of information results in image degradation
    analagous to photographing a magazine print of an original transparency, or trying to work with data from a thumbnail image,
    that is also an answer. Whichever if any is the most accurate, defines my approach to how I might use this software. A little like archival quality printing versus drug store snapshot prints.  Time spent editing is orders of magnitude greater that time spent capturing the image. Protecting that investment of time is what I am ultimately interested in.

  • Cannot Open TIF file in LR3 but no problem in Photoshop CS5 or PE9 or any other software

    Hi - I have a folder with about 300 tif files provided by someone else (I have no idea how they were produced). They use LZW compression and most of them are under 1mb in size.
    I can open them in Photoshop CS5, PE 9, Paintshop Pro, Irfanview, Picassa, etc. without any problems.
    When I try to import this folder LR3 gives the following message "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged".
    I have uploaded a sample file http://www3.sympatico.ca/david.broughton/sample.tif
    While I have worked around this by using Irfanview to do a batch conversion to jpg (the resulting files are successfully added to the catalog by LR3), I am hoping to understand this issue a little better to hopefully avoid it in the future.
    Any insights would be welcome.
    Thanks

    The file should be called RT_sRGB.icm so you can search your hard-drive for that.
    If you cannot find it, then you can download one from the RAWTherapee Google Code repository.  Here is the branch for the RT color profiles.  After you click on the profile you want, you can see various bits of information about changes, but to download the file, itself, click the “View raw file” link at the lower right:
    http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/source/browse/rtdata/iccprofiles/output/
    Once you have the file, right-click on it in Windows Explorer and choose Install Profile, which should copy it to the standard location of:
    C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

  • Is there any way to make copies of the maser image in LR3?

    Is there any way to make copies of the maser image in LR3?
    I do a lot of sports and dance photography and I need a way to make multiple copies of an image to drag into different folders in LR3.
    Example:  One dancer may be on several teams and I need to make copies of the team photos to put in each dancers folder before I upload them to my E Commerce site so each dancer see's their team photo with their individual photos in the same folder online.
    I know I can make virtual copies, but you cannot drag them to different folders as copies, it will move the virtual with the master.
    If they would just let us hold ALT or any key while dragging to "copy" instead of  "move", my problem would be solved.
    For now I have to go into Windows, make copies ,then synch the folders again. Pain in the rear to do that.
    Anyone have any experience here?
    Thanks

    Ron,
    I too need to make "Real Copies" of images and hate doing anything directly from the OS because of the chance that my LR catalog gets out of Sync with the actual images on the computer.  So I make the copies inside LR with an export routine and then move the copies inside of LR with the normal drag and drop.  Once the export preset is created it can be executed from the Library Grid by right-clicking on the image (or selected images) to make the copies.  My settings are as follows in case you are interested:
    This is the first time I have posted an image before and I am not sure if you will be able to read it or not.  The contents from the export preset in the image above are as follows if that helps:

  • LR3 - SimpleViewer Gallery update not working - white X's

    I'm using LR3, under the WEB panel, trying to export a SimpleViewer gallery to my website through the upload feature. I've set my path directories, but when updating a gallery page, the SimpleViewer thumbs and pictures come up with big white X's.
    Obviously the photos are missing, how do I fix this? I'm just  wanting to replace a old gallery with the newer, more updated photo gallery -- I'm using the same path/directory for the replacement of the older file. I think it has something to do wit the XML file that is being written?
    Can someone help me w/this?
    Here is an example of a perfectly fine FUNCTIONING gallery and BROKEN gallery:

    Hi Narayanan,
    I am not aware of any known problem with decimal datatype as never faced any.
    However, I would suggest you to put a external breakpoint in BAPI to see what value it is receiving from .NET application.
    Just login into SAP GUI. Run SE37 transaction. Type the name of BAPI. Go to  the source code, click on the line of code you want to set breakpoint. Then from the toolbar menu either click on the External Breakpoint icon or from Top menu go to "Utilities->External Breakpoints."
    Now run the VB .NET application in debug mode. When the execution hits the breakpoint in BAPI you can check the values of parameters by just clicking on them inside the code.
    Do let me know what value do you see there.
    And thank you for the "helpful answer point"
    Regards.

  • LR3 export problem.

    I am suddenly having a problem when I export to a folder on my computer from LR3.  I do this all the time and I don't know what has gone wrong.  Today I exported a group of files to a folder on my computer which was going to be used to burn a cd and also to upload to a website.  I burned the disk and checked it and the photos are horribly dark and have really muddy shadows.  I then uploaded to a website and although the photos weren't quite as dark, they were very pixelated with a lot of strange color banding.  I tried exporting to a new folder and the same thing happened.  It should be noted that I did several prints today from lightroom and they came out perfectly matching my calibrated screen.  As a further test I created a folder on my website and uploaded one photo directly from LR and then added the same photo, but uploaded it from the exported folder on my desktop.  Here is a link to the gallery:        http://www.kathleenjohnstonphotography.com/Clients/test/19929113_DQ86Pb  You can see the huge difference in the two photos. 
    Does anyone have any idea of what is going on?
    I appreciate your help.

    Lightroom can do some peculiar things if your monitor is not properly calibrated, or simply has no profile assigned to it. ATI Catalyst and graphics drivers can be a nightmare to update, usually requiring uninstall of multiple drivers, and then reinstallation of the update files in a very specific order. I'm glad you were able to sort it out with X-Rite tech support. Suggestion: Do NOT install any updates for your ATI graphics drivers or Catalyst software when prompted by a Windows 7 update. This has been known to cause multiple problems and even loss of certain display card functions for the reasons I mentioned.
    Concerning the low res or pixeleated export image files, this is simply due to using a low JPEG Quality setting. As I suggested try using a Quality setting of 60 or higher, sRGB Color Space, and Standard or Low Sharpening setting.
    Example for 850 Long Edge export size (680 x 850). This insures both landscape and portrait images export with the same dimensions.

  • Can no longer view photo library, after power fail (during LR upload)

    Good day.
    My computer power failed during a LR3, beta2 upload. 
    After restarting, I can no longer see any of the images in my library (~50k images) that were not part of the upload...but they are still there.  In the 'grid' screen, gray boxes appear, but instead of images within those gray boxes, I see lighter gray portrait/landscape rectangles. 
    I'm certain that the images are there, but I can only see the images if I am in the 'develop' window, 1 image at a time. 
    I am hesitant to reinstall lightroom, as I do not want to loose my LR catalog (and have not backed up in a bit...yes yes, I know).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated*
    Thanks!

    Those are the classic symptoms of a corrupted preview cache. There is a folder named <whatever>previews.lrdata that lives next to your lightroom catalogue which is named <whatever>.lrcat. Delete the .lrdata folder (and all its sub-folders) (but NOT the catalogue file!) and restart lightroom. It will rebuild your preview cache, and all will be well.

  • Lightroom 4 RC2 won't upload raw files direct from Canon 5d mkiii camera

    I can upload to DPP and then transfer the files into Lightroom but when I try and upload directly Lightroom just says, "Files not Uploaded not recognised" and I get an option to save or cancel. Why?, with LR3 raw files from my old camera uploaded just fine, whats going on.

    You have a new camera, it is not yet supported in ACR or Lightroom. Most likely it will be supported in the LR4.1 proper, but not yet.
    I assume your old camera is a 5DII, that is supported as its an older model.
    If you want to use LR4.1RCx and your Canon 5DIII, you will need to convert from CR2 to DNG with the Adobe DNG Converter
    link to the download
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html and scroll down a screen or so to find the links for MAC or PC depending on your software.
    This will work til Lightroom natively imports Canon 5DIII RAW images

  • LR3: Exports are dark and over-saturated

    ... or: LR3 shows everything dull and to light...
    I've upload an image and described my problem her:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcdk/4753052290/
    But here it is:
    I'm having some color and curve problems with my exports, it all looks to dark and to saturated when I export from Lightroom 3. So I'm trying to figure out what's happening.
    Here's the setup:
    Windows XP
    Nvidia 8600GT graphics card
    One Dell 2407WFPHC screen
    One Dell 2408WFP screen (my main)
    Huey Pro color calibration kit (software version 1.51)
    Everything calibrated. It looks good to me when I import in lightroom (from raw from Pentax K20D, and Panasonic LX3)
    Exporting to jpeg (sRGB) or tiff and viewing in anything else the colors are darker and over-saturated (tried in firefox (profile aware), Internet Explorer, irfanview and chrome). Loading the jpeg into Lightroom and comparing it to the RAW, they look the same (not dark or over-saturated).
    What you see above is a screen grab, of a test chart viewed in Lightroom and IrfanView. They where just imported/loaded - nothing was done. No development settings are applied as part of my LR3 import.
    The colors in lightroom 3 are dull compared to the IrfanView.
    Sample rgb values:
    1 red:
    Lightroom 224,52,27 (not that pure)
    Irfanview 254,0,0 (~pure red)
    4 purple:
    Lightroom: 124,1,251
    irfanview:  131,0,254
    9 green:
    lightroom: 126,255,54 (far from pure green)
    irfanview: 0,255,3 (pure green)
    The red and the green are the worst - a lot more "energy" in them. So imagine the reverse process. I've a photo in Lightroom and it looks good to me. I export it and every 126,255,54 gets made into pure green. Darker and over-saturated!
    I've no idea what's happning or what to do about it. I've tried everything I can think about.
    I don't really think I had this issue with LR2 - not enough to notice anyway.
    System info:
    Lightroom version: 3.0 [677000]
    Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (Build 2600)
    Version: 5.1 [2600]

    So in my case it seems I'm better off running uncalibrated as that seems to produce something more natural across the board than when I use calibration and it goes between extremes, fine or totally wrong... I can see the images fine on my controlled environment but if you're distributing online then things don't work out at all!
    This is a very common misconception. Needless to say it is wrong. the only way you can get reasonable colors on everybody else's monitors is to calibrate your display and only trust color managed apps. If you don't calibrate and don't use color managed apps, your output will basically be completely random. At least with calibration and management you will be targeting the standard (sRGB) that most monitors cluster around (that's what they were designed to), so while individual monitors will be more or less random, on average they will show what you intended. If you don't calibrate and manage you will target only your specific monitor. Since this is a wide gamut display, the average viewer (who doesn't calibrate nor color manage) will see a dull desaturated image with respect to what you see.
    Bottom line: If you use a wide gamut monitor, calibrate and only trust color managed apps. If you have a normal gamut monitor, calibrate and trust color managed apps the most, but non managed apps will be OK if you use sRGB as your export space. You cannot do away with the calibration step if you care about what others will see.

  • LR5 - when exporting and uploading to FB photos look very bad

    I just upgraded from LR3 to LR5 - when I export and upload to Facebook - the photos look horrible. Very unclear. Looks like they got compressed in a strange way. I am doing everything the same way I did it in LR3 but getting differnet results. Any help would be very appreciated.

    I am using LR5. So does that mean everyone using LR5 will have this problem.
    When I export to my desk top they look fine. But when I send them throught eamil or through FB they get all weird looking. I am so confused.
