Whats With LR4.1??

Have just upgraded to LR 4.1 as i was having issue's importing Canon Raw files from my Canon 550D camera, It would not recognise the .CR2 files and just showed a blank square in the import boxes on my Mac OSX 10.6.8.
LR4.1 has completley done the dash and Crash on me, and won't open at all...You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.app because it may be damaged or incomplete.??? any ideas??
The .app is sitting in th Application folder with a round circle and a stroke through it!!
Getting the trial version of the released version Should be great- BUT im having more issues's with this than the BETA version of PS CS6 Jeppers!!! LJ

Just found out this---^ ^--- was the original LR4 .app. After re-intalling the http:/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 RC.pkg
Things seem to be A-Ok. But this is how it has left the origonal LR4 .app looking LOL.
LR4.1 .app back up and working with no errors. :-))

DNG files created with LR4 do not show thumbnails

Hi,
When using LR3 to create DNG files from my RAW files, those files would show me thumbnails of my image in Windows Explorer. I am running Windows/7 (64) and have installed a CODEC from "Fast Picture Viewer" that allows thumbnails from RAW & DNG files to be shown. It seems, however, that the thumbnails do not show for DNG's created with LR4.
To Remedy this I uninstalled the CODEC. Downloaded the most recent version and installed it but this did not fix the problem.
I then went to the user forum for the CODEC product and searched for my problem. I found a thread who's solution is to turn off "Embed Fast Load Data" when exporting to DNG and it fixes the problem. I tried this and indeed it did fix it. The responder went on to say ".....When this option is enabled the files created are no longer DNGs (just an undocumented private format of Adobe that no one else can read to this date)". This statement surprised me as it is counter to what I understand Adobe created DNG to be. Can I get some input on this comment as if true it is very troubling.
My second question is that I see where to turn off the "Embed Fast Load Data" in the LR Export module, but where do I do the same thing in the Import module when I'm selecting import mode "Copy to DNG"?
And, my thrid question is this. If indeed the DNG files created by LR4 are proper DNG files and this CODEC is just flawed in some way, does anyone have a better way to allow image thumbnails to be shown in Windows Explorer?
Thanks -- Dan

Hi David,
You testing does not coincide with mine. I have consistently kept "Use
lossy compression" turned off. With lossy turned off, it seems that using
Fast Data Load prevents the thumbnails from displaying whereas turning off
"Fast Data Load" allows the thumbnail to be shown.
Below is comment from Adobe confirming that they have yet to release the
spec containing "Fast Data Load".

Am I allowed to video-capture my work with LR4 and then publish it?

Hi,
I could not find any relieable information on this, so I'm asking it here.
I want to capture my screen while working with LR4 and later dub it with my voice to produce video-tutorials. I want these tutorials to be published on my Blog and YouTube or Vimeo. I know that a lot of people do this but I'm not shure if I am allowed to do this. What makes me so uncertain about this is that with Games you normally are not allowed to do this without permission because of copyright-claims of the content shown.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance

Whats with iPhone requiring a 1 ?

I have had a phone number in my contacts for nearly a year now on this phone. Its an 800 number. As everyone knows, cell phones don't use the "1" before area code and number anymore. That is only needed for archaic landlines. But this number has been in my phone as (800) XXX-XXXX for nearly a year. Just today out of thin air, when I dial via Contacts, it gives me a jingle and then "Were sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed". I tried 10 times. No luck. In fact, I called another number out of state - a 619 number and an 858 number and it worked fine. No leading "1". But still the 800 suddenly was not working. So I added a 1 before it. It worked.
When you add a new contact to your phone, it also puts a 1 before it.
Whats with the iPhone requiring a 1? Why did my phone suddenly change to where I cant dial the 800 number without a 1?
Weird...

Both those area codes are not out-of-state; they're San Diego, California. So you were calling IN-state. Maybe you meant you were calling out of your area code.

Tiny hand-made extension for Mavericks, how-to/what-with?

Tiny hand-made extension for Mavericks, how-to/what-with?
We need one small extension in Mavericks.
The goal and prerequisites are described below.
Preferable on script basis.
The question how the goals can be achieved and by use of which Mavericks on-board tools?
Extension's UI available in system menu (preferable the context menu while in a Finder window).
Script conducts on invocation following operations:
- create a new text file in folder of current Finder window
- file name can be fixed programmed in script
- add to the file name appropriate postfix if file already exists
- inject into file a string which is fixed-coded in the script
- inject in file's next line the clipboard content
It is in user's responsibility to ensure the clipboard content is a text
- save file changes to disk
- close the file
- Optionally ask user for file name

Whats with leapfile being blocked?

Increasingly we have been getting requests to unblock something called leapfile. Here is an example messgage they get:
Blocked site:     something.leapfile.net
Blocked Category:     Business and Industry
User:          DOMAIN\user@Windows
User Group:     BLOCK_AVC-11-Executive_Management-Authenticated_Users-DefaultGroup-NONE-NONE-NONE
Reauth_URL:     -
Base64Decode error '800a0001'
Bad Base64 string.
/ironport/blocked.asp, line 78
Seems like you have to allow this in 3 places? Thats a bit much isn't it? You have to add:
.leapfile.com
.leapfile.net
to the URL allowed category where the user is mapping to.
Then you have to drill down in the applications block/warn/monitor area for the policy they are mapped to and expand it and change leapfile from block to monitor there.
Whats with all of these layers and why all of a suddon are there so many requests for this leapfile site? I went to their corporate site and it sounds legitimate, so if it is legitimate why is it being blocked by default.

Good idea. I don't remember ever hearing about leapfile before but after some research it seems to be a good secure way for people to transfer files, especially if it has accounting or auditing data or any other sensitive information. I think that's what confused me at first because simply adding the URL's did not allow the site to load.
When you bolded AVC from my block message and stated "AVC=Application Visibility and Control" that also helps me understand and better decode a blocked site message.
Its nice that the aplications get updated automatically though, but I do love your feature request.
Take care,
Keith

Whats with all the batmobile ar?

Right playing through batman and the story is excellent but whats with all the batmobile missions? really annoying me one of the reasons i love the batman games so much is the hard challenge of doing the combat and the predator modes but they seem to be extint from hthis version apart from 4 of each and it is way to easy ive only unlocked 3 on each and 3 stared them in about 5 minutes. But its really annoying me the fact that rocksteady have made loads of missions for the batmobile which is doing my head in if i wanted to play a racing game with loads of gun fire and explosions i would have bought need for speed or something i feel really let down by rocksteady I want to stalk my prey from the rafters or test my combat skill getting my combo up as high as possible not drive round in an uncontrollable brick that if you get through anything its due to luck. last riddler trial springs to mind bloody car.

I was looking forward to the inclusion of the batmobile but I have to admit the controls are so wrong! I wouldn't mind so many batmobile missions or use of if the control of it was good. The 1st chase sequence in the story I was all over the place. The main problem is brake is square & any racer knows its L2 so I can't help it in certain quick scenarios. I do like the actual batmobile being in the game mind. I would of been happy just to cruise around in it but you got to give credit where they have tried to include a lot more to it. I'm really enjoying the game!

If I try LR5, but decide to stick with LR4.4 -- can I later try LR5.1?

Hi all,
I've encountered at least two everyday hassles with LR5 that make me consider sticking with LR4.4 for now (the new Spot tool regularly selects regions outside my crop with no simple way to adjust, and the import dialog is very slow at showing thumbnails).
1) If I have installed LR5, but if I then decide to stick with LR4.4 -- when LR5.1 is released, will I be able to evaluate it again? Or will I already have consumed my month with the original LR5?
2) If I've applied corrections to photos in LR5, is there a way to migrate them to LR4.4 -- even assuming I would lose LR5 corrections such as the new spot or straight crop.
Thanks!

At least up to now, each LR revision is a full and independently installed product - and this has included the "trial version" counter.
So, you have 30 days to evaluate 5.0 and then it stops working. When 5.1 arrives, IIRC you should have a fresh 30 days to evaluate that.
The big difference between moving to a new interim version, and moving to a new major version: one's a free upgrade, and the other's a paid upgrade, for owners of the software.

Printing differences with LR4+ between Windows 8 and iMac

Hi. I have using my iMac running the latest version of OS-X with LR printing currently to an Epson XP-600 with pretty good results, that is, the print matches the screen with few exceptions.
I recently installed my second allowable copy of LR4 to a new HP laptop running Windows 8 and the prints, using the same photos, are way off both in darkness and in color shift. The Printer interfaces look different but many of the options are the same. I currently let the printer control the prints (with either computer) but tried separate profiles as well. No real change. Here is the important part... The only other program I have on the new Laptop that can print photos is Microsoft PowerPoint and the photos printed with PowerPoint are identical to the photos printed in LR on the iMac! So... somehow the Windows LR is changing the parameters.
I have compared settings between the two computers (only one opened at a time) over and over and ran through a set of ink cartridges trying to match either LR/iMac or Windows PowerPoint to the LR Windows photos to no avail. Am I missing something obvious? Why don't the LRs print the same with the same settings regardless of the operating system? Both are 64 bit computers. Any thoughts would be appreciated... thanks! Andy

Thank you for replying, Rikk. However I respectfully disagree with you. I wasn't comparing the printed photo to the laptop monitor but to the other computer's printed photo (and to the iMac's monitor by extension). Big difference. I deliberately let the printer manage color because with the iMac, the print matched the monitor without profile control. In Windows, I also let the printer manage color so LR, let alone the monitor, should have no influence on color, much like the PowerPoint print as you mentioned. The printer, if printer settings are the same, should produce the same print in OS-X or Windows 8. The PowerPoint print matching the LR print on the Mac proves this to be true IMHO.
To put it another way, I'm not trying to match the Windows print to the Laptop monitor, which is not only uncalibrated but somewhat irrelevant. The two monitors look nothing alike with regard to color. Neither monitor should actually influence the print when compared to the other print using identical printer settings with LR set to printer control.
Please do not think I'm trying to be contentious here, I'm not, but to put it a third way, If I print the photo from another program (iPhoto) on the iMac, it looks identical to the print in LR on the iMac. Because the printer is in control. On the Windows computer, printing in and out of LR, with printer settings the same, do not. That's what I'm trying to find out.
Finally with respect to your last sentence, that's my whole point. I believed I had turned off color awareness in LR on both computers. I don't need it. Apparently, I didn't turn it off on the Windows computer and I would love to know why it didn't go off?
Thanks, Andy
PS You deserve an explanation as to why I use the printer control and no profiles. The answer is somewhat serendipitous: With this particular printer (and I've had many), when the printer is set to manage the color, the prints, for whatever reason, very closely match the iMac monitor (which is calibrated), even moreso than with printer color OFF and ICC profiles employed. I've tried them all. I only use one kind of paper. If I call up a photo of my grandchildren, the print matches the iMac display close enough for my needs. What I see is what I print. Why change it?

DNG files created with LR4 no longer display thumbnails w/ FastPictureViewer & Win7

I've been using the FastPictureViewer Codec pack so that DNG and camera RAW files show as thumbnails in Explorer for quite some time. Upon upgrading to LR4, DNG files no longer display as thumbnails, but as the generic Windows icon for an image.
Upon researching the issue, and upgrading the Codecs from the supplier (which still did not fix the issue), the supplier tells me the following:
What we solved [in the update] was a crash with the new files. Adobe did not document their
changes, so there is not much we can do except ignore the files. This is
what happens when owners of proprietary formats decide to change stuff
without notice
If you turn off the "fast load" and "lossy" options the DNG will still be
created following the published 1.3 specification and will work with 3rd
party software including ours.
The "new DNGs" are for Adobe private use only at the moment. We don't know
(beyond vague promises on employees personal blogs) if they will ever
document what they did and publish an updated specification, they are
certainly under no obligation to do so. The decision they took not to
release updated DNG specs even before LR4 came out was a deliberate one.
While I resolved the problem by turning "fast load" off, I find it highly disturbing that Adobe has made undocumented changes to the DNG format that break 3rd party software. I thought the whole idea of DNG was that it was an OPEN FORMAT and was to prevent situations such as this. At least this is how they sold it to the public and their argument against "proprietary camera manufactuer RAW formats" that could "change at any time".

Actually JS, RAW files converted to DNG with fast load checked from LR4.0 are read, thumbnails and full images are displayed in preview and with Finder in OSX Lion 10.7.3, along with keywords, EXIF data etc. I don't know whether the preview is the RAW or the fast loaded jpeg
Not that it helps you
Adobe mentioned that they will be making the 1.3 data specs available in the next couple of months, I canna remember the link offhand, and it was a formal post, not an employee blog
Life changes, things upgrade, that is the way of things, but it is very frustrating.

Importing problems with LR4

I import from memory card. After a few seconds of importing the pictures, it goes to a black screen that says "please select a source" Using LR4 on a PC running vista. I have tried copying the picture to a folder on my harddrive but when I ask LR to import it says there is nothing in that folder. I have checked the pictures are there.
MichaelAnn Robinson

Codec packs, even the "better" ones, do not typically provide codecs that Premiere and Encore can use.
The "problem" file is a flash format (whether it is an mp4 container or not).
"Consumer" type DVD authoring/burning applications, and even more so, all in one apps like windows movie maker etc, may be more "powerful" when you are trying to take a large range of formats and create a DVD with relatively few options. This is not Encore's strength.
Encore will reject almost anything that has flaws it isn't able to handle, but more importantly (once you get to this step), it will treat as noncompliant (and re-transcode) anything that is not DVD compliant.
My guess is that you need to get the flash into something that will work better for transcoding to DVD compliant.
I would first try to bring one of the problem files into Adobe Media Encore, and see if you can export an MPEG2-DVD file.
Not that, while there are some less known DVD resolutions, I assume you are going to end up with 720x576 PAL. I wonder what the quality will look like....
If you are just looking to get the files onto a DVD to play on a DVD player, just stick with DVDStyler.

Can this be done with LR4 and Drobo FS?

When I import pictures on my MacBook Pro running Lion OS at home into LR4, I set it up to backup onto my Drobo FS which is a NAS device wirelessly via my home network.
Not being computer saavy at all, can I set up both my Drobo and configure LR4 on my MBP so when I am on vacation with the laptop, I can back up my vacation pics directly to the Drobo rather than carrying an additional external back up drive?
I've heard about Drobo apps, specifically Pure ftd, downloaded it and looked at the documentation but it might as well be written in Martian. Is this the way to go or is there another software program? I think pure ftd enables one to access your device, in this case, the Drobo, via the Internet. As I don't know anything about programming, I am completely lost when reading various forum threads about the set up.

Yes, that is exactly the problem with all cloud services for photo backup: how much volume do you shoot per day? What is the upload bandwidth you may count on?
I dropped any such notion, because with a daily volume of 3-6GB raw images all the hours of the night would not be sufficient to upload this via the usual ADSL-lines in Europe.
Directly within LR you can use any setup that you can select in the import dialog as storage destination for "make a second copy to".
E.g. If you can map your drobo as a drive.
If not, you could still use the ftp-mechanism to trigger the upload outside LR, after copying the images from your camera card.
But as said, all depending if your volume will make the upload during the time available at your bandwidth.

Help with LR4 importing

I have just purchased and installed Adobe Lightroom 4. I want to know is it possible to just pull one photo into LR4 at a time to work on it? I do not want to import all of my photos into LR4...just the one that I want to work on at the moment.
If this is possible, what are the steps to do it. No book or instructions come with CD...except for the "help" section when I installed it. That is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a place where I can ASK a question and get an answer. Also, (as an afterthought) are there any CD's or videos available for purchase that will come to me in the US Mail. I would like to have them here in my hands.....not online where I have to go back and forth...I want to use 2 laptops at a time. one with the CD I am using....and the other with my photo that I want to work on so I can follow along.
Thanks
sherri

Yes, you can do that, Sherri.
From the import dialogue, select the folder where the image you want to work on resides.
Lr will display thumbnails of the images within the folder, each with a tick at top left.
If you click the "Uncheck all" button at the bottom left of the screen, the ticks will be removed. You can then select the one image you want to work on, tick it, and select "Import" at bottom right.
It's not really how Lr is used to its best advantage, but it can be done.

Resolution problems with LR4 and Blurb

I am using RAW files and trying to make a Blurb book with full bleed pages. The warning indicator keeps prompting me that the resolution is less than the 200ppi minimum needed for the full size page. I thought with RAW files I would have plenty of data to make a full page image in a large (11x13) book.

You can do the math: 11 inch with 200 pixels per inch need 2200 pixel edge. 13 inch need 2600 pixels minimum.
Do you mean 2-page-spreads? Then it would need 22 inch x 13 inch, hence 4400x2600.
You will see your image dimensions in the metadata panel.
Did you crop some image below that?
What resolution has your camera, which native ratio?
If your values should fit, I would expect some bug in the book module.
