Using lightroom Print modual

I am printing packages using lightroom and a Epson 4900.   I will set up the paper sizes I want to use in User Defined of my printer.  Lightroom will not save these settings from on session to the next and sometimes during the same session.

Yes, I have.  The paper sizes always disappear from the User Defined area.   Plus if I have more than 12 pages, 6 pages appear on  the screen at a time I cannot get to the 3rd grouping of pages without hassles and hiccups.

  • Questions about Using Lightroom and Print Studio Pro

    I want to use Print Studio pro via the lightroom plugin since as I understand it, that is the only way to ensure a 16-bit file is being passed to the printer (on Windows).  However, I am a little confused about how the image is being rendered.  Is lightroom applying a default output sharpening to the file before handing it off to Print Studio Pro or Does Print Studio Pro manage resolution and Output sharpening based on the media and print size you choose?  
    So basically I am wondering if there is any output sharpening being applied, and when is it applied.  The possibilities I think would be:
    Lightroom is applying a default output sharpening when rendering the file to TIF for Print Studio Pro (If this is the case, what setting is being applied and is it possible to change it?)
    Print Studio Pro is applying output sharpening based on media type and print size, or applying a generiz amount of sharpening that does not take into account media or size.
    No Sharpening is being applied.  In this case, I should probably be exporting this file manually with output sharpening applied and then opening in Print Studio Pro
    The other question I have is if when using the plugin is the TIF file that is being generated in 16-bit pro-photo to ensure the maximum amount of color data?
    Because if Print Studio Pro is not applying sharpening I think it may just be better to print through the lightroom tool even though it renders down to 8-bit because the amount of control I have via the lightroom print module would be far more advantageous than any color data I am losing by printing in 8-bit.
    Anyone know the answer to all this?

    I had similar questions when I first got my Pro-100.
    1. You can call up PSP from any module, so I assume it is ignoring print module settings.
    2. If I select a Saved Print, which adjusts the print module settings specific to that print, and the open PSP the paper settings in PSP are not what is in LR, supporting the "ignore" conclusion.
    3. I ran some test prints using LR to print at three different output sharpening settings (Off, Standard, High) to ensure I could see a difference (I did).
    4. I ran four test prints: LR-Standard, XPS driver, LR-Standard regular driver, PSP using standard driver and PSP using XPS driver. I couldn't see any difference between the four prints.
    Since LR is such an easy printing process I haven't seen a reason to use PSP.

  • Images printing too small using Lightroom

    I have an image that is 316x x 2317 pixels that I am printing using Lightroom 2.3 on Windows XP SP2. I use the Picture Package and add one 4x6 image to the sheet. I am using the Maximize template from the browser. The photo borders are minimum. The image nearly fills the page in the Lightroom viewer just as I expect. The image appears the same in Print Preview. However on my Epson 3800 the image prints about 30% smaller and offset to one corner of the 4x6 sheet.
    The problem also occurs when printing from Photoshop CS4.
    I am not scaling or resizing in the print driver. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer using the latest driver.
    Please help!!
    Michael

    Oh my...
    It seems that, embarrasingly I was tripple checking everything for 4x6 prints but actually had 5x7 loaded in the printer!
    Thanks for helping the hopeless.

  • All my prints using: Lightroom 5, printer color management turned off, and non-generic ICC profile (e.g. Epson Premium Glossy) have magenta tint or cast

    I'm using PC with: Windows 8.1, 64bit, Lightroom 5.4, Epson R3000, 6.75 (latest) driver, color management turned off in printer settings, Lightroom configured to manage color.  If I use a generic ICC profile such as Epson sRGB, the prints look OK.  But when I use any ICC profile dedicated to my paper and printer combination, such as Epson Premium Glossy, or one created using ColorMunki print profile, the prints all have a medium to heavy magenta tint or cast.  The effect can be seen before I even print in the Epson Print Preview.  Yet when I soft proof, I don't see this effect.  I suspect the problem lies somewhere in the CMM process, but I can't pin it down.  Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you kindly for your insightful response.  As it turns out, the answer is half correct.  I've found others who'll say the same thing, that double color management will lead to a very magenta result.  I believe this was certainly the case when I first started playing with the settings,  Where I went wrong, is that after I corrected my settings by turning off printer manages color and letting Lightroom do the color management, is that the Epson Print Preview was still showing magenta with certain profiles.  Not wanting to waste more money on paper and ink, I used the preview to gauge whether I was going to get a normal print or not.  Then one day I ignored the print preview's magenta cast as a 'warning' and I went ahead printed the photo anyways.  Because I used a profile that I created with ColorMunki Photo, the picture came out perfect (i.e. a very good match to what I was seeing in Lightoom on my monitor).  The lesson learned is that for judging the final color correctness, the Epson Print Preview can be way off target and your best bet is to ignore it.

    I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

  • Lightroom constantly crashes whenever I try to use develop, print, slideshow!

    This is driving me insane. I desperately want to use lightroom but outside of the library functions and the quick develop tools, I can't get into anything else. I can import images fine but when I try to click from the library mode to develop, sideshow or print, lightroom completely crashes and becomes a non-responding program. Whats even worse, is that windows explore (not the internet browswer, the actual platform) would also freeze after I ctrl-alt-deleted lightroom and I'd have to restart my entire system.
    I've installed lightroom twice thinking it was just a bad install and am running version 1.3.01, I think it is (I have the most recent update installed since I thought maybe that would cure it). I even installed another GB of ram into my PC thinking that would help but now even with 3 GB of ram in my system lightroom still crashes although explorer seems stable.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so had any luck fixing it? It's driving me insane!
    Thanks guys!~

  • Using Lightroom with HP B9180 printer and WIN Vista

    Does anyone have experience using Lightroom with the HP 9180 pigment printer and Windows Vista? I'm considering moving from a dye printer to a pigment printer but have noted in discussion groups there seem to be some difficulties of getting good prints out of Lightroom with various printers.

    Using Vista with B9180 via Ethernet, works great! If you upgrade the B9180 firmware, do it via USB.

  • Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.

    Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.  From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good.  When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button.  Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?

    Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job.  This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box.  Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

  • Presets used for Printing / Relative Develop Presets

    Hi
    I am still not able to produce accurate colors when printing on my HP Color Laserjet CP3505X (the printer does not allow me to disable color management, and yes, I am using a calibrated monitor). Even with the sRGB profiles mentioned here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2165085#2165085) and printer settings on sRGB I still have a color shift in my prints.
    But I could (by experimenting) find out, what corrections have to be applied to the images for them to come out right in printing (e.g. Temperature +600, Tint +15).
    Is there a way to have such a correction applied while printing, like a preset used only when printing?
    Or, if not, is there a way to define a develop preset which acts relative (cumulative), meaning that I only code the difference of what I want to be added to the rest of the development settings? Such a preset then could be applied as the last action before printing.
    Either method would partially solve my problem.

     Not using Lightroom's controls. What you describe is exactly what a printer profile is supposed to do. 
    I know that this is the purpose of a printer profile. What I would need is a correction (preset) on top of the profile used.
    II. Create a real printer profile. You can either do this using a higher-end calibrator or using one of several services. Usually you download a file. Print it. Mail it to them and they send you back a profile that will work for the combination of ink/paper/printing settings that you used. See for example:
    http://www.inkjetart.com/custom_profiles/
    Or this websearch.
    Since I cannot switch off color management with my printer, I am using the sRGB profile you recommended in this post of yours and let the printer work with sRGB.
    I even would be able to create a printer profile myself (I own a Spyder3Print™ to calibrate a printer). But this involves being able to disable color management in the printer (driver) completely, which seems impossible with the CP3505X .
    So what I would need is a combination of the sRGB profile I use, corrected by lets say 600K temperature and 15 ticks tint. But I have no idea how to get there.

  • Using Lightroom for Event Photography

    I use Lightroom for my entire workflow at events that I cover where I will import from multiple memory cards throughout the day.
    One of my basic Import Settings will achieve 90% of what I need but I will still spend time with every customer, helping them choose the photographs that they want printing and I will crop, make adjustments etc.
    This is fine until we get busy, then it is harder to spend the quality time with each customer.
    My question is this:
    How can I change my hardware setup so that I can have two or more laptops - or even tablets - where I can share these images for viewing with all synced adjustments etc.?
    I can setup a local adhco network but i can not sync to the CC servers.
    My competitors often have multiple screens where customers can browse, choose and even print images they want to buy.
    I have tried simply exporting files to another laptop and viewing in a photo browser but this is clumsy, not ideal and takes up too much time.
    i understand there are database issues preventing me from sharing a single catalogue but there must be some way I can do this.
    I hate having customers waiting and sometimes leaving because they can not see their photos.
    Thanks for any help

  • Working on making a book using lightroom 5

    Working on making a book using lightroom 5 and printing with blurb.com.   My question is pertaining to the cover of book.  I have two images full bleed and text on the spine.  I can see that I can add an image to spine also so its not just a plain color.  But does anyone know how to be able to zoom or move image on spine.  I basically want the back or front image to bleed right over spine.  But there is no option I have seen to do this.  Its pretty basic book layout stuff.  Why does it seem that lightroom does not do it.

    You cannot put an image on the spine. The spine has a text box only, and you cannot put images into a text box.
    The only way to have (part of) an image showing on the spine is when you select the two-page spread for the cover. Then the image extends from left to right and goes over the spine.
    For page-layout - and that includes the cover - you have to select one of the templates. There is no template with an image on the spine - except the full bleed.
    Apart from that, I think it's wise not to put an image on the spine. The text - that is necessarily small - can be hard to read if it is on top of an image.

  • Output Photobooks to PDF using Lightroom vs Aperture

    Hello,
    I have been using Lightroom since it was first launched and I love it. However, now I need to find a good way to create and layout my own photobook and output it to PDF so I can publish it on Lulu.com and it looks like Lightroom lacks a feature like this, while Aperture offers a pretty good way for users to create their own books and export to PDF.
    Is that really so ? Are there any plans for Lightroom to offer this feature as well ? I do not want to pay $200 on Aperture just for that when I am so happy with Lightroom.
    Please advise !
    Thanks !
    celso.

    Is layout flexibility the key issue for you? For example, you could generate PDFs of sections from Lightroom's Print workspace, then upload them. I've tried this - though I would add that it's not as easy as it should be (luckily I also have InDesign). What are your key issues?

  • Using Commercial Printer Profiles in LR4

    this question might belong in the color management section, but since it deals with Lightroom I'll post it here.
    I am having trouble using commercial printer profiles in LR4.  I import all images as RAW files from the camera, and save them as DNG files when done editing.  Generally, the printing services I use want to see JPG files, and I am unsure how and when to apply the printer profiles as I move from a DNG to a JPG, in preparation for sending the job to the printer.
    I'm sure the good folks ad Adobe have thought this through, but I'm stuck.
    Thanks!
    Jeff Zens
    Salem, OR.

    I called back and spoke to a manager who let me know that the profiles are, in fact, RGB profiles.  So I believe that I should be able to print to JPEG rather than an attached printer, so long as I have the correct printer/paper combination selected in the print dialog.  Do I have this right?
    Thanks....

  • Using Lightroom and Indesign CS5

    Hi,
    I used in the past Indesign CS3 to create a book.  It went fairly well.  that was before I started using Lightroom, which now holds my complete catalogue, edits, etc.
    I've recently proceeded to create Collections in Lightroom for three books I want to start working on.  I just downloaded Indesign CS5 trial.  I am wondering if there is Lightroom support in Indesign CS5?  I'd really want to have the ability to import photos directly from Lightroom without having to export them in a specific folder to work in Indesign.  It seems to me it would be a waste of disk space since exporting files would simply create duplicates; no to mention I'd need to re-export them every time I would create modifications to the files in Lightroom...
    I think this is a feature that has been requested here and there from Indesign users in CS4?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    The point of RAW or DNG is, as the name implies, is to create the digital equivalent of a "negative". A format where the original camera data is preserved and can be "developed" later—the development settings are not actually applied until the file is converted. The advantage of the format is obvious when you take a shot with the wrong camera settings.
    There's nothing forcing you to use the digital negative workflow. You could shoot an image format like .jpeg and use LR for content management and ID's Mini Bridge panel for placing.
    There isn't much point in making CMYK conversions in PS—InDesign is capable of making the same color managed conversion on export or print.

  • Using Lightroom Mobile as travel downloader/editor

    Friends,
    I'm a new member of the Lightroom family.  I'd like to use Lightroom Mobile while traveling whereby I download RAWs (or RAWs and .jpegs) to my iPad, edit the images on my iPad, then easily sync/transfer those edits to my computer when I get home.  Is that possible?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    I don't think it matters that the iPad isn't colour managed (and LrM isn't designed for it). OK, it might if you are brave or stupid enough to make exhibition quality prints without reviewing the image on a real computer. Instead the adjustments on the iPad are ball park, equivalent to Quick Develop, they give you time to think about the image, try out crops, rate and flag etc. Your time in front of a monitor is then spent on fine tuning.
    An alternative workflow is possible if you get access to a real computer while you're travelling and if it has decent upload speeds. Log into your lightroom.adobe.com in a web browser and drag the photos from Explorer/Finder into a collection in the browser window. The raw file then uploads, and will be synced down to your computer when you get home. You can then make adjustments in LrMobile and avoid kludges like Syncomatic.
    Personally, I think the small laptop is still the way to go. For now anyway.
