Why do my saved / exported photos out of Lightroom have a little red dot on them?

My edited photos in Lightroom look great. But once I export them and take a look with another program (Photo Mechanic or Previewer), I see a little red dot on the photos.
I have the latest version of Lightroom downloaded (5.7) and have tried restarting the program and re-exporting the photos but no dice.
After further investigation via Google, I think this red dot is a "hot pixel" as it is showing up in every photo in the same spot. Apparently this is caused by my camera sensor but I'm confused by this as my RAW files do not show the red dot, only when the photos have been converted to JPGs can you see it. Stumped.

Please show us a screen capture.

Is there a bug or problem with increased noise when exporting pictures out of Lightroom 4?

Is there a bug or problem with increased noise when exporting pictures out of Lightroom 4?

As you are asking about it, looks like you do see a problem. So if googling does not provide a solution, you should describe the issue in detail so we can try to help out.

I recently changed my phone. Before I did the guy at the Verizon store said my photos were backed up in my photo stream. I have logged on and cannot locate them. Is their something I can do to recover them?

Photo Stream does not "backup" your photos, you have to do that yourself on iTunes, BUT if you have the iCloud app for your PC/Mac installed, your photos will be on there

How can I restore photos that have a broken red symbol below them ? Thanks.

IPhoto 11 - Saving/Exporting Photos Edited in iPhoto 11

I just updated to iPhoto 11 from what I think was iPhoto 09. In my previous version of iPhoto, I would import photos from my camera, edit (crop, straighten, adjust, etc) and then I would FILE/Export photo in .jpg format to my hard drive for backup and upload to flickr.
When I follow this same procedure in in iPhoto 11, the edits that I make in iPhoto do not save to the exported photo. The application just exports the original file w/o edits.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a fix?
Thank you,
Charles

I am exporting as a JPG. I think I figured out the problem. In the old iPhoto I could export from the Edit menu. On this new version, I have click on the Photos button and go back to the screen that shows the whole event and export from there.
It's a pain and much less efficient but it seems to be working.

In PSE12, how do I save captions when I export photos to a CD? And how do I keep them in the proper order instead of them becoming all jumbled up?

I have PSE12 and when I export photos to a CD, the captions disappear. How do I keep my captions on the photos? Also, how do I keep the photos in the order I want them instead of them getting all jumbled up?
Thank you for any help you can give.

I suggest you post your inquiry in the Elements Forum.

Exporting photos edited in Lightroom

Hi,
I have made substantial editing to a photo in Lightroom. However, I do not know how to export the photo with all the edits. I know Lightroom saves the changes in sidecar files, however I do not know how to take a photo edited in Lightroom and export it (with editing) to another location.
Cheers,
reuelb

Errrrr... File/Export (ctrl-shift-E) does that, doesn't it?

How to export photo out of iPhoto environment?

I want to upload some of the pictures in an album in the internet and I do not get the proper information for me to do it. It seems that Apple has closed it to keep it inside their environment in order to force people to print it with them, or not to be able to manage it out of this application what makes from this a Nazi app since it keeps you out of being able to do what you want with your own photos. Apple keeps users hostages of it. It is far from being at least a little fair. Come on Apple!

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Exporting Photos out to go back to iPhoto 4

I have a quick question: if I export all my photos in their original state out of iPhoto5, trash iPhoto5 and re-install iPhoto4, when I import the photos back into iPhoto4 will they lose their dates? I know I'd lose my albums doing it this way, but will the photos lose their basic info or will they appear in iPhoto4 in the exact same order they were in in iPhoto5?

They very well might, not sure. You can test it by creating a test iPhoto 5 library and exporting a few to the desktop and then import into the test library.
Another possible way to go back would be to create a new library when you get iPhoto 4 up and running at 4.0.3 and then use the File->Import menu option to navigate to the old library folder and select it to import. That has a good chance of retaining a lot of the roll information.
Another method would be to use iPhoto Library Manager. After creating a new v4 library use IPLM to try to merge the old library into the new one. If it will work between two different versions of the library folder you'll be able to retain keywords, rolls, albums, etc. But being different version folders is iffy. You can contact the developer and see if it will work that way before purchasing the full version which is required.
In regards to your slow operation with V5, what camera do you have? See this thread regarding that: Eric Lindsay, "What can be done about slowness?" #34, 07:05am Jul 26, 2005 CDT. if you think that's the problem here's a page at MacOSXHints that describes and offers some AppleScripts to remove that meta data and reconstruct the library: Clean up the meta data in iPhoto's dB file. Once you're at that page select the option to flatten the thread so you can see the original post and all the commends. Be sure to read all the comments because there are some other hints in there.

Why can't I export photos edited in iPhoto 08?

Hi, hoping for help. I posted elsewhere but think it was in the wrong place.
I have labouriously edited some 700+ photos with the intention of exporting them web sized to a desktop folder where I intend batch watermarking them before importing them into iWeb.
Unfortunately, every time I attempt to do this the uncropped/rotated photos get exported. I tried doing it by album, event and directly from the library to no avail.
I'm using 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5
Suggestions would be appreciated.

How are you exporting the photos? What settings are you using in the Export window?
Are you able to drag an edited photo via the thumbnail to the desktop and get the edited version? If not try rebuilding the library as follows:
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options. If you have enough room on your boot drive make a backup copy of the library before rebuilding just in case.
Then try exporting again.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

How do i export photos to a sd card in the order I arranged them in

My mother and I are putting together a digital picture frame album using an sd card. The pictures are in order in an album in iphoto, and a folder on my desktop, but when we drag the folder to the sd card and insert it into the frame the pictures are not in the order we arranged them. The pictures are always out of order. Any help is greatly appreciated, THANKS!

Think about how computers work - file do not have "an order" you view them with a program that puts them in an order - in the finder this may be by file name, creation date, modification date, size, etc - in iPhoto it can be by a manual sort, by photo date, etc
So the solution is to understand and see how the photo frame orders photos adn then export the files using something that keeps that order - for example if you are going to be viewing them in date order then manually sor tthem and use the batch change date/time command to set them to accending dates so the photo frame displays the way you want
The order the photo frame displays has nothing to do with iPhoto but you probalby can use iPhoto to set photo or file attributes to accomplish what you want

Exported photos (versions) don't have GPS-EXIF Infos

Hi there,
I just found another problem with Aperture 1.5.2. I am using a Nikon D200 with a GPS-Receiver. When I import the Photos (NEF). The GPS-Information is displayed correctly. When I export the Photos as a JPEG, or import them to iPhoto with the Menu-Function, the GPS-Information seems to be gone.
Does anyone have a tip for this?
Thanks a lot
Michael

We already noticed. Its been like that ever since version one, and a bunch of us are crossing out collective fingers hoping that this will be fixed by the next version.

I have imported and processed photo's in Lightroom 2 and kept stored files on external hard drive. External hard drive crashed....how do I export photo's from Lightroom when it says 'file not found'?

Folders with photo files are lost due to external hard drive crashing. Processed photo's are still in LR. How can I export from LR to a file (any file) that no longer exists? Help!!!

Well, no backups, the technical term for that is "a problem". I think from this point forward, you need to commit yourself to making regular automated backups of all of your photos and catalog file to different physical disks, no excuses.
Your photos are not stored in Lightroom. However, Lightroom does create "previews", this is what you are seeing, but these are usually smaller and low-quality compared to the originals. There are plug-ins that can extract the previews from Lightroom. One such plug-in is here robcole.com - PreviewExporter

Why does the menu look grayed out? ("File, Edit, View, History" etc) It makes them look like they are not going to work. They don't turn black if I click on them either.

Normally, at least in most Windows programs, and I think other OSes too, items that can be used are black, and items in gray are inactive so that they are not available. It's disconcerting to see the menu in gray, even though they work.

Hi Melaniefromnorth saanich,
Take a look at the Photos User Manual below. Is it possible you were deleting photos from an album and not from your library?
Delete photos and video - Photos Help
https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/index.html#/pht3bfab2f96
Delete photos and videos
Do one of the following:
Delete a photo from an album, but not from your library: Select the items you want to delete, then press Delete.
Delete a photo from a moment (placing it in the Recently Deleted album): Select the items you want to delete, press Delete, then click Delete.
Delete a photo from a moment or album (placing it in the Recently Deleted album): Select the items you want to delete, then press Command-Delete.
Deleted photos and video aren’t immediately removed from your library; they’re placed in the Recently Deleted album, where they remain for the number of days shown, and then are deleted. You can recover the items before that period of time (see the next task). If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on, the photos may remain in iCloud up to 40 days and then are removed from all your devices that use iCloud Photo Library. If you’re not using iCloud Photo Library, your deleted photos are removed from your Mac only.
Restore recently deleted items
Deleted items remain in the Recently Deleted album for the number of days shown, and then are deleted permanently. You can view recently deleted items and restore them back into your Photos library.
Choose File > Show Recently Deleted.
Select the photos you want to restore.
Click Recover.
To delete recently deleted items immediately, select the items, then click Delete.
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you may be able to recover items after they are deleted permanently from your Mac or iCloud.
For more information on using Time Machine, see Restore a Photos library from a Time Machine backup.
Hope that helps,
- Judy
