Using tools in the adjustment pane

Hi,
I always use the same additional tools in the adjustment pane, "sharpness", "highlights and shadows", etc, is there any way to have these options automatically selected for each photo...I am getting tired of having to reselect them for each image.

I can confirm that I have all the updates applied as well (Aperture and OS X) but "Stamp Selected Images" works OK for me. How many images are you stamping? Perhaps that is an issue, a smaller set might work better.
Also, you could try a fresh library with stamping multiples to see if a library rebuild might help.
Is this on your Macbook or the G5? <
Thanks for the response, much appreciated.
G5.
I thought try to do the stamp to multiples might have been a problem but I can't even use one image as the stampee. These are NEFs but the up-stamp/down-stamp worked well a few weeks ago with a whole bunch of NEFs.
I'm still trying to figure it out but I've got to revert to Nikon Capture so I can actually get some work done toady. I will start a new thread if I can establish some test parameters.
Still bummed.

  • Is there a way to enter specific numbers in the Adjust pane?

    I need to repeat some adjustments such as exposure for a number of photos. But I can't simply copy the whole adjustment group and paste it because some of the other adjustments need to stay as they are. SO I just want to copy or re-renter one numeric value. The sliders are very imprecise and if I want to set the exposure to +2.0 it will sometimes land on 1.98 than jump to 2.01 etc... Is there a way to enter these values numerically instead of by using the sliders?
    Thanks for any help.

    Bo:
    When you set a specific adjust for a photo you can copy those settings (the Copy button) and then apply (Paste button) to other photos. Those settings will be preserved until you set new ones and save them, i.e. you can close iPhoto, reopen and the setting will still be there to apply to photos.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Cannot use tool because the target channel is hidden

    When I return to a previouse Layer and attempt to alter the Layer I receive the same Error "Could not use Blah Blah because the target channel is hidden.  This happens with Erasure, Selection too;, Move tool,  Pencil, Paintbrush and so on.  What is happening and what do I do to fix it?

    Are the composite Channels selected (Red, Green and Blue for RGB, Cyan, Magenty, Yellow and Black for CMYK etc.)?
    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

  • Has anyone had experience with the new moire slider under the adjustment brush in LR4?

    There's a new moire removal tool under the adjustment brush in LR4. In the near future I expect to have photos that contain moire patterns. Has anyone used this tool yet? I'd like to get an inkling as to how effective it is.

    There is an example of moiré on the Nikon Imaging site for the D800E.
    http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d800/features01.htm
    I was able to reduce the moiré significantly, but not eliminate it with the Lightroom 4 adjustment brush. I haven't found any software solutions that can completely repair moiré. The Lightroom 4 feature seems about as good as any I've tried.
    Here are a few links you might find interesting:

  • Can I expand/collapse all of my email accounts in the folder pane?

    Greetings,
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    I'm using T-bird v31.0
    The inbox is configured to view/layout/folder pane and view/folders/unified.
    I have multiple email accounts that appear in the folder pane.
    I can expand/collapse inbox, drafts, sent, junk, trash, but not the email accounts.
    Is it possible to expand/collapse the email accounts?
    Thank you for you hard work and expertise.
    norm

    Do you have the removed account forwarded to your other account at the server?
    If the account is not still in Thunderbird there is no way for it to check mail on that account. Even if it did it would not place the messages in a different Inbox.
    Just to be sure when you go to Tools-Account Settings is the old account still in the list?
    Use Tools on the menu bar and not the AppMenu button.
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.

    I was recently prompted to download the newest version of itunes.  I downloaded it and it actually says its 10.5.2 (11).  Regardless of the version once downloaded I opened it to use it and the blue pane on the left that contained the original playlists, purchased items etc is non existent.  Does anyone know if I am missing a setting or display set up or is it a biger problem?

    I too experienced the same issue.  Here are my details:
    Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port.  What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol.  At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally.  Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite?  I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.

  • How do I use the adjustment brush to mask and not turn my item green?

    I have shot some products for my web site.  I need completely white backgrounds. I have tried to mask the product and lighten the whites, but when I click done, my product has turned very green.
    Why?  How do you use the brush?  Also, where is the invert to make this easier on me?
    Kind of urgent, I need to get these items on my site already.
    I know the answer is simple... I just don't know what it is.
    Thanks

    Have you tried without the adjustment brush, by simply adjusting white balance from the basic tab in develop?
    Click on the eye dropper tool and then click on a neutral gray color. Use the background if it is neutral rather than white. You may need to keep selecting the eye dropper to click in a few different places for best results.
    If you decide to use the adjustment brush you can show or hide the mask. Uncheck the mask when you have finished painting; then use the sliders, starting with tint and temperature.

  • New to the Adjustment Brush Tool...HELP!

    Hello!  I am fairly new to Lightroom, and the Adjustment Brush tool specifically, and I am having some problems with it!  I have watched tons of tutorials on using it, and it seems relatively easy...although when I go into my program and attempt to use it, nothing happens to my photo...say if I wanted to adjust the exposure on the face of an individual, I will go in and select the tool, decrease the exposure, make the brush and feather the size I want it, and when I go to "paint" the area I want altered, nothing happens?  The pins appear as if to show me that's where I started, but then no change happens to the area I attempted to paint.  Do I need to select something somewhere to be able to actually use the brush to paint?  Any help is appreciated!!  Thank you!!   

    First, verify that you have painted something. At the bottom is an option that says "Show Selected Mask Overlay", enable this. It will show the area you have painted so far.
    If you see pink appear, this is where you have painted so far. Try changing your adjustments more drastically (i.e. move sliders all the way one direction or another). If you see the effect appear, dial things back until you have what you want.
    If you do not see pink appear, make sure your Flow and Density sliders are up. This act like opacity, so if they are too low, you aren't laying down much "paint" with your brush.

  • In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush.  This is a recent phenomenon.?

    In camera raw, I am no longer able to use the adjustment brush.  This is a recent phenomenon.

    Well, it worked fine for me as well for the past couple of years. I had not had any problems using it for the past few years. I use a Mac OS X Yosemite.  As far as I can tell nothing had changed. I had not added any new updates, and a week ago the adjustment brush in camera raw simply ceased working. Everything else in camera raw works.  However, the adjustment brush is a critical tool. I have checked my permissions, and even repaired my permissions with no results.  Of course I have also tried several restarts to no avail.

    I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%)   If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly  – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display   Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see?   There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light.  MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014

    I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
    If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
    See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.

    In Preview, I suddenly am unable to get the "Adjust Color" tool panel to edit images. I just get the rectangular image selection tool instead. How do I ge the "Adjust Color" tool panel back?

    Hmmm, I wonder if that window is hidden or off screen? Have you moved the pic window around to look under it?
    Might try this...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Can I adjust the width of the navigation pane?

    Hello, I've got a WebHelp project. It will generally be used on touchscreens. This forum gave me great advice on making the fonts bigger for TOC and Indiex items by going to the WebHelp Skin Editor.
    Well, I was wondering if I could actually make the width of the navigation pane wider. In the Skin Editor, you can drag the pane (like you can in compiled help, but that doesn't seem to hold upon compilation. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi there

    Yes, you can adjust the pane. Check out the Skinny on Skins for detailed steps. Click here

  • Beginner Question- Unable to Use Eyedropper and Targeted Adjustment Tools

    When trying to use the eyedropper or targeted adjustment tools (in the HSL menu), I will grab the tool and hover over my photo and my cursor changes to the magnifying glass. When using the eyedropper the preview will reflect the white balance but when I click my photo is enlarged instead of using the tool. Help please! I know there must be a simple answer, I am just a first time user of Lightroom (previously used Bridge/Camera RAW) and am getting very frustrated. Many thanks

    Yes. I've seen the same glitch occur on Mac. Not sure what is happening, but I agree, it is maddening. I stumbled upon a solution that works for me:
    Press the Q key (cursor changes to the Healing Brush)
    Press the W key (should now change to Eyedropper-White Balance tool)
    Now the Eyedropper may work again.
    I know right? Doesn't make sense, but whatever has happened to cause the Eyedropper to not work but instead bring up the Magnify tool, this sequence seems to bump it out of the glitch -- at least it's working for me.
    Hope that helps.
