Why doesn't Lightroom 5 always watermark exported images?

I haven't changed the settings, but last time I tried to export images with a watermark the images appeared in the output folder without watermarks.
The problem has occured before, but corrected itself when I re-exported the images. This time Lightroom is steadfastly ignoring the instruction to add a watermark.
Any clues, why this happens?
Some of my jpegs are zero length when exported, is there a fix for this, other than to export them again?
I can fix the problem by using LR4.4, but why isn't LR5 working properly?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

  • Why doesn't Lightroom Launch?

    Why doesn't Lightroom launch after the download completes? It loaded fine, but the "Launch App" is "grayed out."

    Which operating system are you using?  Have you tried launching it using the normal means for your operating system as opposed to the Adobe Application Manager?

  • Why Does Lightroom Web Module Export Images At 240 ppi?

    Firstly, please forgive my ignorance on this subject. I am in the process of getting together a website of my images and have been experimenting with preparing the images and thumbnails through Lightroom's web module. I've noticed that when opening the finished images in Elements, that they have all been converted at 240ppi. Surely, images for websites should be at 72ppi (or possibly 96ppi)? Or am I dimmer than even I thought? 

    should I simply ignore the resolution box?
    Yes indeed. You set the size unit box in the export dialog simply to pixels and then size the right number of pixels for your web use. Typical is for example 800 pixels on the long end. The resolution box is not relevant for web use. It is really only used as a hint to a final printing size.
    So I imagine the 240ppi conversion must be the Lightroom default value. Do you think?
    Very likely so. I believe Lightroom, just like Photoshop, assumes 240 for files that do not start out having the tag so that is probably what happened if this started as a scan. Many scanners do not write this tag at all, but most DSLRs write the tag into their files and it is usually 240 for older generation cameras and 300 for later ones. I don't know why they do that as it is again not relevant as people print at any size they want.

  • Why doesn't Lightroom organise videos/photos lacking "date taken" by "date modified" instead of "date created"?

    This still seems to be a problem with Lightroom 5. This post is one of the top results after trying to Google this problem, and it's for LR3. I can't understand why something so fundamental to video (and some photo) organisation has been overlooked for so long.
    I've been trying to import and organise all my old photos and videos by date with LR5. They've been backed up and copied many times over the years, most recently to an external drive last week. So every file has a "date created" of last week. But "date modified" remains the original recorded date.
    This doesn't matter for photos with a proper EXIF "date taken" - but LR5 looks at the "date created" for videos, making it completely useless for organising them into date-based folders. It puts videos I recorded in 2010 (as per "date modified") into a 2014-12 folder. Why.
    It's not just a video problem - some photos I took with devices that didn't record EXIF "date taken" are also filed into folders from this month, even though the "date modified" on them is correct as being from 5 years ago.
    How can I rely on LR5 for importing and date-based organisation when it relies on files (lacking "date taken") having never been copied or backed up?

    Hello,
    I use exiftool to modify the  Creation and Modification time of the files. After that I use LR "Ajust time" feature to set the time of the movies in LR to the file creation time (last point). This works fine for me.
    For MOV (Quicktime):
    exiftool "-FileModifyDate<TrackCreateDate"  "-FileCreateDate<TrackCreateDate"
    For AVI:
    exiftool "-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal"  "-FileCreateDate<DateTimeOriginal" *.avi
    Depnding on your camera (and container format mov, avi) you may also ajust the time zone, e.g.
    exiftool -FileModifyDate+=1 -FileCreateDate+=1 -if "$CameraModelName =~ /EOS 600D/i" *.mov
    Which time in the container (MOV, AVI) you use as source, depends on your workflow. I edit my mov files before import. Therfore "CreateDate" is the time when I edited the file. Quicktime and (some) avi file contain a time when the containing stream was created. I use this vaule as source.
    exiftool <filename> gives you detailed information about all available times.

  • Why doesn't Photoshop always generate a layer mask

    I believe it was in CS4 that Adobe expanded the use of automatic layer masks ... perhaps it was with adjustment layers (I'm not quite sure)
    I don't know about others, but it would save me considerable time in the long run if every new layer, (whether it is generated as a copy, from a plug-in, as a cut, or as a new blank layer) recevied an automatic layer mask. It takes no file space, but more often than not I find myself needing one. It sure would be nice to jump right into masking rather than having to first create the layer mask. Why did they stop at adjustment layers?
    Am I alone in this?
    thanks

    Adding layers like Text, Raster and smart objects never have had automatic layers mask added.  Adding adjustment layers always came with an automatic layer mask until CS4.  Adode introduced bugs in CS4 when they added the adjustment panel these bugs have been carried forward into CS5 and CS6. Adobe added two options in the adjustment panels fly-out panel.  These options are designed to be global, not just adjustment panel options.  These options only work sometimes when changed from their default settings.  When changed from their default settings they try to change Photoshop historic default operation.  When you change Photoshop default operation Action, Scripts and Plug-ins that add adjustment layers may not work correctly.  Adobe should fix Photoshop and remove the two bad Adjustment Panel fly-out options. The Adjustment Panel fly-out menu option to not add Layer masks can not be safely set, same goes for the option to always clip added layer mask, if you use Actions, Scripts and Plug-ins that add adjustment layers.

  • Why doesn't the Zoom work on images in Firefox 4 ? The page Zoom works for webpages but not for pictures like Firefox 3.7 did :(

    I have already seen the "page Zoom" help article and that doesn't solve the problem.
    with Firefox 3.7 i could view an image and use the "control" & + & - keys to zoom in and out but with the new Firefox4 that zoom only works on webpages and does not work for images like it did before.
    is there a solution to this ?
    example:
    http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/images/a11easep.jpg
    when i had Firefox 3.7 , i could zoom in and out but now it doesn't work with Firefox4
    what's the deal ? : )

    Check the Zoom settings: View > Zoom > Zoom Text Only

  • Why doesn't Lightroom appear in my list of installed apps, with the option to update it.

    All the other apps appear available to update, but with Lightroom I have to download it and do a fresh install each time.

    Sorry, re-reading the info, the path is correct - but it isn't perhaps as clear as it should be; might I suggest changing the wording to something like 'look for the opm.db file located at
    /AppData/Local/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db
    however - that doesn't solve the issue of Lightroom 5 not being listed in my installed apps!
    Cheers

  • Why doesn't it (always) sync?!

    My main issue with the Podcasts app is simply the unreliable synchronization of playing positions between devices. Either that or I'm wrong about what it's supposed to do.
    To be clear, I'm not talking about automatic sync with iTunes via iCloud - that's coming in iTunes 11 (or so they say).
    What truly bothers me is something Apple says the app does and most of the time it simply doesn't.
    Let's say I start playing a podcast on my iPhone and interrupt it some time afterwards. Later in the day, I pick up my iPad, launch the Podcasts app, start playing the same podcast and it resumes exactly from where it had stopped before on the iPhone. Great, it's working as advertised! Well, from that moment onwards, synchronization won't happen anymore. I stop playing it on my iPad, start playing on my iPhone and it begins where it stopped earlier in the day (as if the period when it was playing on the iPad just didn't happen). Then I go back to the iPad and it will resume from where it had stopped on the iPad. So the two devices now each has its own playing position for the same podcast, which drives me mad! Does this make sense to anyone? Shouldn't it always sync?!

    Check the USB adaptor.  I have a funky USB port that doesn't work well with all cables.  Jiggle it a bit and/or try another port on the computer.

  • Why doesn't a body tag background image show up in a browser?

    I've set a gif image to repeat as a background in my body tag and I can't get it to preview in a browser. I see the background fine when doing a live view in DW. I've tryed other images and none will preview in a browser. I've tryed to trouble shoot everything I can think of why this is not working and at this point I'm dumb-founded. Any help here would be most appreciated, I'm swamped with work and I really need to get this file off for client approval. Thanks in advance for any response - Vanessa

  • Why doesn't Lightroom 4 create xmp files for mov files?

    This would be useful for moving files to other applications and databases. As far as I can tell Adobe doesn't share any metadata for .mov files between any of it's CS6 programs either, Bridge, Prelude, Premiere, etc. As a still photographer who is now shooting DSLR video I want to get metadata entered as soon as possible for my still and video files. It would be best to do both stills and video at the same time. Camera Bits Photo Mechanic is the only program I've found so far that does this. Canto Cumulus is able to read Photo Mechanic's xmp files. I don't really need Photo Mechanic in my workflow except for this issue.

  • Why doesn't Logic Pro properly export my QuickTime Movies?

    I started submitting bug reports and posting to the Logic discussion forum about this six months ago. The Art of Sound suggested I post here, so here's my issue:
    I never had this problem in Logic 9 and have no idea why it should be a problem now with 10.0.4 through 10.0.7. I create a ProRes QuickTime with Final Cut Pro X. I check the movie, and it's fine. I open it in LPX, import the audio (I've also tried "extracting" it). I do something simple (and not time-altering) like normalize the audio and add a limiter, then Movie/Export Audio to Movie . Not only is the audio in the new QuickTime consistently a frame or two out-of-sync with the picture, but the new movie also has some duplicate frames, making the new QuickTime longer than the original and progressivlely more out-of-sync. The duplicate frames seem to consistently start occuring about 43 seconds into each QuickTime I've tried in LPX. There is still no problem doing this same process in Logic 9, and I never had that issue doing this kind of thing with Soundtrack (sure wish they'd bring that back!). I'm using all the latest software updates on a 2012 3.4 GHz iMac w/ 16GB RAM (the most you could get at the time without a prescription).
    Any ideas, anybody?

    Jim, I just also tried the Export all tracks as audio files command with Normalize on, and it turns out that the separate audio files are treated as one big file as far as normalization is concerned: if the loudest file peaks at, say, -1.8 dB, all files will get 1.8 dB of gain added. They are not individually normalized, which is what the OP is after. While this "mix normalize" is handy to maintain the amplitudinal balance between the tracks (I first thought this was a bug, I now see this is probably by design), in the specific case of the OP this is not what he needs. Also the manual does not explain that this is what happens. Would have saved the OP some time if it had...
    So, rbdavis, you can submit a feature request: a Normalize files individually checkbox in the Export all tracks... dialog.

  • Lightroom to Revel Export: image resolution

    Anyone know how to change the upload resolution into Revel from Lightroom? It currently is 240dpi I need 300dpi. I can change it when I upload/export into my hard drive but no option into Revel.

    Is it not as simple as changing the resolution in the export settings? e.g.
    I don't use Revel, so please forgive if my reply reveals my ignorance...
