Why does a .tif file come back to Lightroom2 from CS4 as a new file?

In my workflow I start with a virtual copy of a .dng file in Lightroom2, make adjustments there and then take the file to CS4 for further refinements before bringing the image back to Lightroom2 to print. When the images comes back to Lightroom2 it comes back as .tif file but doesn't replace the .dng files. I now have three files. The original, the virtual copy, and the .tif file. In Lightroom2 the sliders for the .tif file are all back to zero. The adjustments can be seen in the image, but there are no indications by the sliders that any adjustments were made. In preferences I have it set that a file coming back to Lightroom2 from CS4 comes back as a .tif file but why don't the sliders show the adjustment I made to the original image in the .tif file as well. Feels like I am starting over with a new file.

You are starting over with a new file. LR applies all the
adjustments to the DNG or VC before converting it to a (flattened) TIFF.
That's why you can see the adjustments in the new image.

After deleteing it will create a new cache.db file and store the serial there that goes with that disk .

  • Why does macbook pro not come back after closing shortly

    This has become really annoying. If I close my macbook pro (13 inch from this year...but not the retina) and then decide to open it back up without waiting long enough (maybe just setting it down and then picking it back up and opening it), it becomes a brick until I do a hard reset. Sometimes, if I open and close it over and over again, sometimes it will come back. My 2006ish mbpro never did that, so this is a big step back in my opinion, though, I don't know if it is OS or hardware.
    Anyone figure out a way to keep this from happening?

    Your MBP should, as I'm sure you know, just go to sleep when the top is closed and reawaken immediately when you open the top. This is obviously not happening.
    Which version of OS X are you running on your 2012 13" MBP? I would make sure that you've updated the system with the latest upgrades and, perhaps, run the Apple Hardware Test to make certain that it's not a hardware problem.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Why does Dreamweaver upload a blank page when i "put" a .php or .html file that I just edited. It's

    Why does Dreamweaver upload a blank page when i "put" a .php or .html file that I just edited. It's like Dreamweaver isn't putting the complete file. So when i check my work (refresh the page), it is now blank. This happens about 50 percent of the time and can occur with any of the websites I maintain. (If I pull out my macbookpro, i can edit and upload the page, but the screen is smaller and i would rather be at my desktop). I am using CS5 on a MacPro, operating system 10.7.5.

    I've never heard of that type of error before. If it were happening to me, here are a few things I would do...
    Verify it's DW
         Download Filezilla (free and very nice in reality) and make sure it uploads correctly from there to rule out connection issues
    Rebuild Site Cache
         From the Files window of your site, click the menu and go to Site > Recreate Site Cache
    Delete DW File Cache
         If the above does nothing, I'd kill my DW Cache File: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
    Uninstall, clean, reinstall
         Uninstall the program, use the cleaner tool here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html to kill everything (Adobe leaves behind things that are picked up again in a normal uninstall/reinstall) then reinstall it.

  • Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?

    Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears? 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    hi there,
    could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

  • Why does the EEvents message come up every time the computer is opened after being shut off?

    Why does the EEvents message come up every time the computer is opened after being shut off?

    You need to check the software you run.
    Some officially supported and sold Mac versions of software use Wine for porting in some fashion or another.  If some program you are running is spawning these Wine processes, its probably buggy and not shutting down correctly.
    How to figure out which are Wine and which are not...?
    Well if its a Cider ported game, you just see if there is a Cider logo on the game.
    If its Wineskin ported, theres no super easy way to tell, depending on how much its been modified, but you can look inside the app (right click and "Show Package Contents") and go to Contents/MacOS and see if Wineskin executable is in there.  Unless its a very old version of Wineskin it shouldn't be able to hang like that without major issues int he Windows software running in it, and I don't know any any company would release it if it was that buggy.
    If its WineBottler Ported, you'll notice quickly because it launches X11 and runs the windows under X11... of course not all X11 apps are Wine, but if you have a program that launches and runs in X11.app then you can look inside it at Contents/MacOS to see if its Wine related.
    It could also be Crossover, or a Crossover port of software... you'd have to dig around inside of its app too to see if it looked like one of those.

    When headset is inserted, why does sound continue to come from the speaker?

    Sure your inserting the headset into the Headphone Out port and not the In port..?
    Also what headset....?
    Most PC based headset with built in mic's will not work without using a device like the Griffin iMic.

  • Why does the color wheel come up when I   I can't get rid of it.

    Why does the color wheel come up when I try to open an email? I can't get rid of it unless I sign in again!

    The spinning beach ball of death (SBBOD) can be caused by many things. Common causes are not enough RAM, insufficient HD space or another process using a lot of the CPU's power. You can open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) for many things including the %CPU column to see if there is an app using a large %CPU. Also click the System Memory tab and see how much FREE RAM it shows. As a general rule your system should have 500MB or more available.
    Finally I'd recommend reading and using the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article for additonal troubleshooting steps. 

  • Why does my Mac Pro try to start up from a blank drive?

    I fitted a 2nd drive to my 2006 Mac Pro in anticipation of dual booting Windows (not done yet). The dive is FAT formatted but is empty. Why does the Mac Pro try to boot up from that drive every time I start it up, despite having set the startup disc as OS X in the System Prefs?! Getting sick of seeing the flashing folder with the question mark evry time I start it up.

    I might be inclined to think the problem is really on your startup drive. You might try reinstalling Snow Leopard.
    Also, try:
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

    why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

    Hi
    Seems very long time.
    When my Mac starts to get into a slow-motion in action eg encoding DVDs or alike - it's nearly always due to that free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk is to low.
    • I try to never have less than 25Gb free space
    • 10Gb - might work but slows down
    • 5Gb - slow and instable
    • less - incredibly slow, instable and if DVD is produced - it usually doesn't work
    This space can not be utilized on other hard disks - Neither for Mac OS or iMovie or iDVDs temp. files - Has to be stored here. No-where else.
    Yours Bengt W
