Why does Lightroom not have custom keyboard shortcuts?

Lightroom is a workflow app. It's not just about raw conversion, which could be done in ACR, but about speeding up the whole process of selecting, editing and cataloging photos.
It seems to me that out of all Adobe apps, Lightroom is the one which should have customisable keyboard shortcuts.
I've been using lightroom since shortly after it came put and I've been using the open-source plug-in keyboard customizer Paddy for several years which works okay at the moment. Each lightroom release breaks Paddy in some way and it's not as smooth as it could be if it was built in. Even so, I estimate I'm 2-10 time faster editing many photos with paddy than I would be without.
I know that even adobe's resources are limited, but adding keyboard shortcuts should be easy, certainly compared to re-verse engineering RAW file formats or fixing complex lens distortions!
At this point it seems clear that Adobe are choosing not to let us customise keyboard shortcuts. I'm not trying to change their mind, but I really want to know w
It perplexes me, why don't Adobe add what seems liek a simple feature which could speed up Lightroom use by an order of magnitude???

On Victoria Bampton's website she has a downloadable PDF file named "Adobe Lightroom 5 Windows Keyboard Shortcuts." (Windows, not sure about Mac). Its about 12 pages long. I assume that this is what you are looking for. www.lightroomqueen.com.

Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Why does Verizon not provide 3G coverage in Western Maryland (Garrett County) and why does it not have an agreement with US Cellular for such coverage?

Thanks for the zip code pfekete. I looked into the coverage in your area and I do see you are in an extended 1X data coverage which explains why you're not connecting to 3G. What phone do you have? We may be able to advise you on how to adjust the settings so it picks up the strongest signal. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Why does color not have a 1440x1080 Resolution preset?

1. Why does color not have a 1440x1080 Resolution preset? Im using ProRes HQ in FCP and clips at 1440x1080. But when they come out of Color they are 1920x1080? I notice from color there is no 1440x1080 Res preset so strange?
2. In addition ive also noticed that I dont have the choice of 'Original Codec' in the render codec settings. Only ProRes, ProRes HQ, Uncompressed 8bit and 10bit. SO i use the higher quality 10bit.
Message was edited by: StingRay67

Ok, I class myself as a patient person and not one to fly off the handle. However, Color is testing me to the limits. I cannot work out for the life of me how this application is trying to handle my footage.
I sending 1440x1080 thats been encoded 1440x1080 50i. This footage is ending up in the Color pref settings or as 1920x1080!! Secondly when I send this back to FCP obviously my Sequence will have changed to match 1920x1080.. thus up scaling the whole project! Then if that weren't enough, taking a look at the data-rates in the clip settings of the Color Sequence they read in excess of 131.5 mb/s My HDD give up immediately! (Is one supposed to render the timeline first once this footage is back from color? - i dont just mean because of the transitions etc)
Now.. to yet further confuse the issue I then do a Render ALL in FCP and the Color Sequence plays back fine though still with the wrong Resolution of 1920x1080?
to be frank, i just dont know where to start with this.. it seems 1 step forward 3 steps back each time. I can appreciate Im new to this but I thought I knew enough not to encounter such petty problems as just setting Color up for import/export. Im going to say it... Is this a Color problem or what? I dont think there are many of you using PAL with HDV into ProRes HQ or ProRes so I guess its going to have to be a £200 call to Apple? .. Which I probably wont do..
Here's hoping.

Why does lightroom not display photos ?

Hello,
all of a sudden lightroom tells me "no photo selected " when I try to open a folder.All the folders are visible but the photos cannot be displayed.I am using lightroom 4.1
The last editing was done less then 12 hours ago without any problems.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
1journey

Thank you so much for your reply.I solved the problem after fretting over it for some time. A filter was not turned off and once I turned it off all was well. Live and learn.
Thank you kindly ,

Why does iCloud not have my tones?

I don't understand why iCloud does not have my tones?
I have just lost them and I thought to myself its ok I will just retrieve them from iCloud to find it doesn't have them...
Yet iTunes store recognises that I have previously purchased said tones but would charge me again to download them!
Is this some lame attempt at getting more money out of customers or am I missing something???
Thanks in advance

When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
On your Mac, any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture will begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or, you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
On a PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later, open a Windows Explorer window. Select Photo Stream under Favorites. Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select photos to import to My Photo Stream, and then click Open.

Why does pdf not have correct font? Can this be changed to match what is on our Word Document?

The pdf does not have the same font as my document. We use Claredon Condensed Bold Italic and it changes it on the pdf?
Also, is there an easy way to just pick a certain pages to pdf?

Hi pkevdon,
How well a file converts depends largely on the quality of the original file.
Does it occur with all files or with specific one?
Would you send your PDF document to [email protected] as an email attachment?
I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.

Why i do not have "Custom" category when trying to add a new web part

I have deployed a .wsp solution to my web application as follow, using Visual studio:-
But when I try to add this web part to my brand new enterprise wiki site collection, I can not see any “custom” web part area as follow:-
Baring in mind that we have an old site collection also of type enterprise wiki and is inside the same web application, which have the “custom” tab visible as follow:-

Hello john,
did you try to disable and enable again the WebApp feature that hosts the webpart, on central administration?
If it's not working, try to change the scope of you feature to "site collection" instead of "web application"
now i try retracting then re-deploying the farm solution again but still it will work on the old site collection only.
Now seems i am a bit confused as i do not have much knowledge in developing solution. now the solution i deployed is mainly for fixing Redirect problem in SharePoint managed metadata navigation, the OnInit method is as follow:-
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
var request = HttpContext.Current.Request;
var response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(request.QueryString["TreeField"])
&& !String.IsNullOrEmpty(request.QueryString["TreeValue"]))
response.Redirect(String.Format("{0}?TreeField={1}&TreeValue={2}",
SPContext.Current.ListItem.ParentList.DefaultViewUrl,
request.QueryString["TreeField"],
request.QueryString["TreeValue"]));
else if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(request.QueryString["TreeField"]))
response.Redirect(String.Format("{0}?TreeField={1}",
SPContext.Current.ListItem.ParentList.DefaultViewUrl,
request.QueryString["TreeField"]));
base.OnInit(e);
and the solution have the following settings inside the visual studio , where the Site URL refers to my development machine URL . but this did not cause any problem inside the live serve old site collection:-
and when i deploy the farm isolation i did the following steps :-
- I copy the wsp from the visual studio project.
- Then i run the following command inside the Live server "stsadm -o addsolution –filename [c:....]\WikiKnowledgeBaseRedirect.wsp"
- Inside the live server i went to "central administration>>system settings>> Manage farm solutions>>click on WikiKnowledgeBaseRedirect>>click on deploy solution >>select the web application from the “Deploy To?" drop
down".
now as i mentioned before the wsp worked well inside my old site collection, although the site URL refers to the test server site collection (not sure if this was overridden when I deployed the solution to live server). but inside the new site collection
i can not find this solution inside the "site setting>>site collection features" nor inside the "site settings>>web designer gallery>> web part"? can u advice based on the above ?

Why does Java not have a RealNumber class?

This is a question that continues to bug me.
There is Number. Double, Float, Int ... all extends Number and then
implement Comparable independently.
I know plenty of Math geeks troll this group. I know why Number is not
Comparable, but number has methods like: "doubleValue()"
What I would love is something like:
public abstract class RealNumber<T> extends Number implements
Comparable<T> {
public class Double extends RealNumber<Double> {
// impement comparable <double>
public class Integer extends RealNumber<Integer> {
// impement comparable <Integer>
That way I could do ... Set<RealNumber> someSet = new
TreeSet<RealNumber>();
I don't care which type they are, as long as they are all the same and
I can't do <Number> because they aren't comparable.
And, I already know I can do:
Set<Number> someSet = new TreeSet<Number>(new Comparator<Number>() {
int compare(Number a, Number b) {return a.doublValue() -
b.doubleValue());}
But this has the inherent flaw of precision issues between Integer
and, say Double that this would mask.
I am tempted to actually implement this exact solution for my problem
space through delegation but I am hesitant that there might be some
hidden number theory problem with this approach.
I will have to work with numbers and perform basic mathematical steps on
them but I won't know which types until runtime. What I am working on
will not know if it will be Integer Double, etc. So, unless I want to
make methods for all those types (and then types I don't know about --
like subclasses of BigDecimal) I would like to just have (in a perfect
world) a method like
NUM_T extends RealNumber
public void doJob(NUM_T a, NUM_T b) {
a / b;
I want to polymorphically encapsulate mathematical operations without
having to overload the same method for everytype. I understand that
isn't possible now, and so, that is what I am asking.
If I had a class called "RealNumber" that I could count on for these
basic ops, I would be set. I am looking for education though, not lecture.
Thoughts?

Number doesn't implement Comparable, but maybe something like this could help you:
public static <T extends Number & Comparable<? super T>> void doJob( List<T> numbers ) {
}But I'm afraid I don't quite understand your problem. The type declaration above may answer your question about Comparable and Number, but from looking at this code snippet
public void doJob(NUM_T a, NUM_T b) {
a / b;
}I assume you're looking for a way to invoke a mathematical operator on two numbers of the same type. This is not possible because there is no interface that declares methods for these operators - there is Comparable which declares compareTo(), but not Dividable which declares divideBy().

Why does Lightroom not update all my previews after a batch change?

Hi!
I imported more 2,000 pictures. Then I did one batch change (adjusting the curve (tonality) by Lightroom).
But it looks like, only on the page, I actually see, the previews are updated.
If go to the next page of 24 pictures. At first I see the old preview. Then the CPU and hard drive activity is increasing and picture by picture the preview is updated. So I've to wait 15 seconds, until I can decide, if the settings of the pictures are a good start or not. And then I've to page again and wait 15 seconds
I expect, that Lightroom does it:
in background
in parallel and not only one picture by picture (15 seconds are cause by sequencially processing; I've an Intel i7 with 4 cores and 3.6 GHz, it's not the slowest machine, but Lightroom only use up to 25% of my whole CPU resources :-( )
Sorry, but I do not understand, how I should be able to handle a mass of pictures, if I have to page and wait always.
Is there any magic shurtcut, command, setting, to enforce such an auto update?
Thanks a lot!

Dunno whether this would offer sufficient improvement or not:
It doesn't automate preview generation, but does give a button (2 actually) for quick-building of previews.
OttoMate
PS - Adobe did provide a function in Lr5.2 SDK for building previews, unfortunately the fine print taketh away too much of what the big print giveth (e.g. doesn't work in develop module), so not viable for auto-preview generation, yet.

Why does Apple not have adobe ? Is there anything comparable?

What can I use instead of Adobe as I have been told Apple does not support the use of Adobe. I have a game that requires adobe flash. I also want to get a MAC but I don't want to not be able to print things that need Adobe PDF .

You can read why its not available here.

There is an app in the App Store called "Skyfire Web Browser". It lets you view a lot (not all) flash websites and videos.

The return policy of the retailer where you purchased your iPad governs.
If you bought from Apple, their policy would apply; since you purchased

Why does Verizon not have "chat" help always available?

On numerous occasions I've needed to chat with someone online with Verizon, thinking I was going to "chat" and get some help they are closed in the evenings. I live on the Pacific Coast it's 9:30 pm, chat is not available??? Come on Verizon!
I also have a question with regards to anyone who has a single line.a single. I have 2gb data,
unlimited messaging with $10.00 for insurance each month, with a discount of 20.00 each moth because of where I work, my bill is $100.00 with it being sometimes a bit more? It seems absurd to me to have such a large bill for 1 phone with a single line. I also never go ever my data or anything else.
Can someone please tell me if they are in a similar situation and if they have a bill that is also that high?
Thanks much
Lisa

@lisakylee61,
Look no further help is here! I apologize you have not been able to reach a Chat representative. The Chat option is only available when a representative is available to take a Chat. But no worries because I can help here.
Keeping your bill low is definitely important and I can help find ways to save you money. In order to do so I need to access and review your account. Please follow me, JohnB_VZW, and send me a direct message so I can further assist.
