Whatever happened to Presets in the Develop Settings contextual menu.

This is a feature I used a lot in earlier version. It allowed me to apply custom presets to a photo while in the Library mode. 
It's no longer there in LR CC!!!

Thank you! Now if someone could tell me what happened to my Nik plug-ins... I've invested a couple of days of work on a shoot, and all of a sudden they're al my adjustment plug-ins are gone Can't live w/o 'em, especially Color Efex. Hate to go back and redo all my adjustments in 5.7 if there is an easy way to fix this/

  • Import preset change of develop settings saving problem.

    I think this is a bug:
    In Library/ Import
    When I want to change Apply during Import/ the Develop Settings, the my existing Import Preset cannot be updated with this change.
    I only can create a new Import Preset with that.
    But anyway if I change to another Import Preset the Develop Settings do not change and stay with the settings I did choose in the previous Import Preset.
    The newly created Import Preset works fine though in LR 3.6.
    Frans

    This is the behaviour under LR3 :
    Left down corner My Import Preset with Right top corner Develop Settings  set to None
    Now when I change the Develop Setting to B&W
    the Import Preset name changes to DMC-GF1 ©CFW Rename (Edited)
    That does not work in LR4.
    Keep up the Good Work ,Victoria ! Thanks.

    Question?
    I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.

    Hello,
    if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
    1. Backup your catalog first
    2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
    3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
    4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
    As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files".

  • What happens when you reset the network settings

    My ringer is not working. Will not ringer, only vibrates.  What will happen if I reset the network settings?

    Did you check the "mute" button located on top of volume buttons?
    Reset network settings option will reset all network settings, including passwords (excluding passcode), VPN, and APN settings.
    Just to give you an idea.

  • Video feature request for all the Develop settings to be applied to video output

    I hope you are planning on allowing all processes in develope module to be applied to video. I was a bit surprised that all were not applied.
    I know this opens up LR to a bigger playing field and would love to be able to use the tool with moving picture for color and processing. The editing is not so critical but a good round trip to prem pro would be awesome. with updates links like affter affects and audition have.

    You can use just about any tools for the videos...
    The confusing part is that those listed in Lib. mode are sugesting that the dev. mode counterparts arent working.
    While they are...
    You can apply just all the dev. tools to the video. Aside from brushes etc. SplitTone, Saturation, HSL, curves all working.
    Syncing is slow... Do this:
    1)Make your adjustments on a captured JPEG frame. The hit Shift+Command + C...
    2)Exit Dev. Mode and enter Lib. Mode and select your video
    3) Hit shift+command+v to paste the settings.
    Much faster than using the sync mode or saving a preset.
    It beats me why LR4 doesn't just capture an automatic frame of the footage (From whereever the playhead is) and the when we click Dev. mode just edit on that.
    As of now we have to:
    0) In Library Mode
    1) Goto the Frame we need
    2) Click Capture Frame
    3) Select the captured frame
    4) Switch to develop mode and make settings
    5) Exit Develop mode and goto Library mode
    6) Select video clip
    7) Apply settings...
    Even if adobe had strived for it, I dont think they could possible have complicated things any further. They'll get a grammy for this one ;-)
    There is SO MUCH room in the library tab.... For ANY video clip... Just put the dev. settings right there for us to mess with. Why only put a few there
    with crippled controls...
    Why even have TWO MODES... What I hate in Lightroom and always have hated.. Is having to SWITCH from ONE window to the NEXT just to make adjustments with sliders that makes sense
    instead of those crippled ones in Library Mode.
    We have 2012, fast computers and faster minds. Why should we be crippled like this. Makes absolutely no sense.
    Is Lightroom the best software around. IMO = YES.
    But I sure hope that LIghtroom WONT be setting what we will come to know as a bar for standard. So much room for improvement. And there has been since V1.
    Please --- This time.. Make the app easier to get around. I find myself clicking around MUCH more than I have to.

  • Develop settings pop menu - structured view

    Hi
    When I right click a photo and go in Develop Settings, i'd like to see sub menu for separate Presets, so the menu can be a bit more compact.
    It would be nice to have it just like a structured tree with sub folders, and maybe the last 3 applied settings showing up, since we will now have a lots of space in that menu.
    RIght now it's showing all presets in a flat view:
    suggestion would be to have it displayed like this:

  • Organize the Finder's contextual menu ....

    Hi,
    In the Finder, the contextual menu includes in the bottom many added menus. Automator is there and all the other contextual menu plugin I added over time. Some of them have many items for the same app and should be separated from each other.
    I know I can create personalized menus with FRUIT MENU or with OPEN MENU X, but they do not work on the contextual menus that are added by the system.
    Is it possible to separate these added contextual menu with separators ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Robert

    I did not say you cannot delete them, I said those built-in to the OS cannot be deleted. Those installed by you or third-party software in either the Library or Home/Library's contextual menu items folders could be removed. But I wouldn't delete anything without knowing the consequences of doing so. Many contextual menu items have a purpose even though you may not have yet discovered the purpose.
    You can simply create a ContextualMenuItems (Disabled) folder and place the ones you don't wish to use in the folder. You can create a similarly named folder in all three Library folders - one for each.
    You could use a third-party preference pane like Diabloting - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - that can manage contextual menu items, preference panes, fonts, etc. by moving them into and out of their normal folders.
    I might wonder what is behind this effort?

  • How do we add apps to the 'Open With' contextual menu?

    After I updated to Mavericks, all of the apps, except the Apple ones, were blown away (eg. Word and Excel in my VM). 
    How do I put them back?

    'Open With > Other' would not show the apps in my VM.  I tried.
    I tried something different.  I left Word open in my Parallels (Vista) VM and ignored it for a while to see if Maverics would pick it up eventually.
    It did.
    It seems like that it takes some time for Maverics to find the apps in a VM before we can use it in the 'Open With' menu.

  • Refresh List of Presets in Develop Settings?

    Is it possible to force a refresh of list of the presets in the develop settings menu?  I want to get around this issue:
    1)  Right click an image and select develop settings - a list of the presets in the CameraRaw/Settings folder is shown in the submenu.
    2)  With bidge remaining in the foreground open, change the contents of the presets in the CameraRaw/Settings folder (I'm doing this with a jsx script in my case).
    3)  Right click an image and go to develop settings again - the list shown is the same as the list in step 1.
    4)  Give any other application focus and then come straight back into bridge.
    5)  Right click an image, select develop settings again - this time the preset list reflects what's in the CameraRaw/Settings folder.
    So is it possible to force bridge to refresh that list somehow within my jsx script?

    Sorry no you can't alter a menu once it's been created.
    You can access any of the items in the develop settings with...
    //Develop Settings > Camera Raw Defaults
    app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRDefault");
    //Develop Settings > Previous Conversion
    app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRPrevious");
    //Develop Settings > Copy Settings
    app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRCopy");
    //Develop Settings > Paste Settings
    app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRPaste");
    //Develop Settings > Clear Settings
    app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRClear");
    You can't give focus to another application but you can send commands to another Adobe suite application using BridgeTalk
    You can de-select all thumnails and select the ones you want to work on, a few commands below might be of use....
    //change Bridge to folder
    app.document.thumbnail = Folder(Folder.desktop + "/myfolder");
    //de-select all thumbnails
    app.document.deselectAll();
    //select thumbnail
    var thumb = new Thumbnail(thumb);
    app.document.select(thumb);

  • How do I show the Develop Module settings when I open up an image I've exported from LR 4.4?

    Say I have a preset that I use upon import.  I import some raw files using that preset but decide to tweak the settings a bit per each image.  IOW, now they are different than my preset.
    I now export from a tweaked raw file a jpeg.  If I later import that jpeg back into LR 4.4 but don't apply any presets upon import (just leave it blank, I don't even check None), when the image is in the Library the "Saved Preset" line over on the upper right says "Custom" so I figure my settings were "embedded" into that jpeg when I exported it.
    However, when I then go into the Develop module, all the Develop settings are zeroed out.  Is there any way to have the setting sliders represent what I actually did to the raw before I exported as a jpeg?  I can't just hit the preset I used upon import because, in fact, the current settings have been tweaked.
    Along that same line, is there a choice I can select upon import (of an exported jpeg or tiff or whatever) that says "show current Develop settings" or some such instruction that would take care of this during import.  Thanks.

    No it’s not possible but you have a record in the history panel for your master (raw file) It will show the date you exported the jpeg etc. If you click on that line it will show all the develop settings to the right e.g. the slider values etc.
    You can in fact save them as a snapshot; so if you make further tweaks to your raw file, the settings you used for your jpeg will always be saved.
    Most users don’t re-import jpegs because they can export a fresh one at any time. It’s also possible to create a virtual copy from the menu (Photo >> Create Virtual Copy) which can have different settings to your master (original raw file). You can create as many VC’s as you like and they take up no extra space on your hard drive. Because they are virtual they are simply stored in the catalog as metadata.

  • Bridge CS4 does not see ACR presets in Develop Settings

    I think that this is new with CS4. I create a Preset in ACR in the Preset Panel. That Preset works fine on photos in ACR. The Preset is listed in the Camera Raw Settings folder in the Finder.
    But, when I try to apply the Preset in Bridge via Edit > Develop Settings, the Preset does not appear. Is this correct? I believe that a preset did appear in CS3 in Bridge Develop Settings.
    The preset was created with a Raw file from the 1DS MkIII. Could it be camera-related?
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks,
    Sonny

    Strange. I Quit Bridge. Relaunched Bridge, and the Presets now appear in the Develop Settings list.
    I presume that I should not have to Quit and relaunch for the presets to appear?
    I created another preset. It only appeared in Develop Settings when I again quit and relaunched Bridge, even though it appears in the Camera Raw Settings folder.

  • I have a dual monitor setup.  When I paste develop settings from one image to another, Lightroom switches the active window.

    Strange problem.  Lightroom 5.5.  Windows 8.1. Dual monitor setup.
    I'm processing a large batch of photos.  I have Monitor #1 set as my main develop window, with Monitor #2 set only to display a larger version of the image I'm working with. If I copy the develop settings off of one image and try to paste them onto another image, Lightroom will switch from Monitor #1 to Monitor #2 as the main develop window, and will not display anything on Monitor #1.
    If I then try to paste develop settings onto another image on Monitor #2, LR will then display a larger version of the image I'm working with on Monitor #1.
    To work the way I want to, I have to continually drag my develop window back to Monitor #1 every time I try to paste develop settings onto a new image. How can I make this stop?

    I just tried what I think you’re saying you’re doing and I don’t have the problem with LR 5.5 on Windows 7 SP 2.
    Does the same thing happen whether you use the key shortcuts vs the Settings / Copy/Paste options on the menu?
    I ask this because if you’re using the keyboard shortcuts, maybe you have some display-manager program that has bound itself to the Ctrl-Shift-V (paste settings) to the function of move-to-other-monitor which would do at least part of what you describe.
    You can also test this theory by doing a Ctrl-Shift-V with an application other than LR as the active window and see if it moves.  I suppose Ctrl-Shift-C might also play into it so try both of these hot-key combinations with a program that isn’t LR.
    If none of this sheds any light on the situation, then give a more detailed description of the low-level functions you’re doing to accomplish the copy-paste of settings, so someone else could replicate the steps exactly.
    Specific detailed steps, like:
    left-click on source photo’s thumbnail in the filmstrip
    press Ctrl-Shift-C to copy the settings
    click Check-None
    enable the white-balance and calibration checkboxes
    click Ok
    left-click on destination photo's thumbnail in the filmstrip
    click on Settings / Paste Settings in LR’s menus to paste the settings to the selected photo

  • How do I change the default settings in a printer's Default Settings Preset?

    I am running Mavericks, printing to an HP LaserJet 4050N via IP.  [The following behavior takes place whether the printer's internal settings are set to Duplex Printing is On or is Off.]
    I would like to set the default to print duplex, whether I am in an application or 'drag and drop' a file onto the printer icon (which temporarily opens the application, prints the document, and quits).
    I do not seem to be able to modify the "Default Settings" Preset to specify duplex printing.  However, I have been able to create a new "Default Settings-1" Preset that specifies duplex printing.  By selecting the "Default Settings-1" Preset, in any application, I get duplex printing without any problem.
    First -- problem:
    If I drag-and-drop a file -- e.g., .pdf or .docx -- onto the printer icon, it opens the application and uses the "Default Settings" Preset -- not the "Default Settings-1" Preset -- and prints single-sided.  How do I get drag and drop to use the "Default Settings-1" Preset to get duplex printing?
    Second -- issue:
    Bizarrely, if I am in an application, select "Show Presets", select "Default Settings-1" and click on "Layout", it sometimes shows that "Two-Sided" printing is "Off" and sometimes that it is set to "Long-Edge Binding" -- but that seems to have no deleterious effect on duplex printing!
    Any suggestions / explanations for my problem / issue?
    Thanks much,
    Avi

    Other than using the CUPS interface, http://127.0.0.1:631,which it sounds like you've done, I don't think there is a way to edit the Default Settings. The standard approach is to create a preset, the solution you've found.
    For drag and drop printing, you should be able to get to the print dialog and select your preset or turn duplex on by holding the option key down, selecting the file, then doing the drag and drop (either to a printer or to an open printer proxy application).
    I realize this isn't a solution, but I hope it's helpful.

  • Develop Settings and DNG files...where is the info stored?

    I just converted my Nikon NEF files to DNG. Previously I saved all changes I would make to my photos in the XMP sidecar files. I'm confused how things are working now because I thought those same changes would be saved to the DNG file.
    Now that I use DNG files, when I make adjustments to the develop settings in LR, are those changes ONLY saved to the catalog? Or is there a way to save them into the DNG file so I can bring them to LR on another computer and see my changes? I feel like when I had XMP files before with my RAW files, the develop settings were saved there in addition to the catalog, so my changes came with me... Maybe I'm wrong though.

    >Each of my RAW files also has a corresponding 10KB XMP file.
    These are known as XMP sidecars and are applicable only to proprietary raw files (e.g. CR2, NEF, etc). Adobe have a policy of not writing anything back into a proprietary raw file (exception being date/time stamp) because the proprietary data tends to be undocumented. The XMP sidecar provides a safe documented means of storing the metadata corresponding to each proprietary raw file.
    > I understood that the metadata is written to the file itself, but apparently only to DNG JPG and Tif files - right?
    Correct
    >So, if this is correct, then all metadata except that originally written by the camera is saved in the XMP file on RAW files?
    For proprietary raw files the metadata is written into the XMP sidecar, but for the other formats you mention it's written "into" the XMP block of the actual file.
    > Is the XMP file the information used by the Catalog? If I open a RAW image in Photoshop CS3 will the XMP information be read and applied when the file opens?
    Yes to both questions

  • How do I control the default Develop settings in LR5?

    I've used LR for many years but have never figured out the following:  When I work on a batch of photos in Develop, most of the time the Develop settings are on their normal defaults (e.g., 0 for most sliders; blank for lens, etc.)  As I process each photo and move to the next, the settings jump back to default.  Sometimes, however, this second step doesn't occur; when I open the second photo the Develop settings remain where I left them in processing the first photo.  Recently, LR sometimes opens with the settings I used in the last session, even though I have closed LR in the interim.
    I know how to use Copy and Paste but they don't seem to be involved.  I don't know how to use Sync; I've watched a couple of tutorials but they assume a knowledge of Sync which I don't have.
    Any help appreciated.

    If Auto Sync is enabled and more than one image selected, any editing done to one of the photos will be done simultaneously to all the selected photos. If only a single photo is selected, it will be the only one affected. Thus, moving to a new photo that was not selected together with the previous one it will open with the default settings. Auto Sync can be enabled when multiple photos are selected either from the Settings menu or by raising the toggle switch on the Sync button at the bottom of the right-side Develop panel.
    "Recently, LR sometimes opens with the settings I used in the last session, even though I have closed LR in the interim."
    This is as it should be. LR should always return to the editing done in an earlier session because every edit is immediately recorded and saved in the catalog database and the old edits are reapplied to the image preview every time it is opened
