Workflow w/ LR2 and PCS4

I have been using LR2 for sometime and recently purchased CS4. What is the best workflow between LR2 and CS4?
I shoot RAW...I have been importing into LR2 and do most of the global adjustments there before I take it to CS4 but I cannot get a RAW file with LR2 adjustments to CS4 by CS4 being an External Editor (it only allows TIFF or PSD formats). Furthermore, I am curious whether I should be first importing into Camera Raw and doing the global adjustments there (although Camera Raw and LR2 seem to have similar functionality) and then to CS4 and back into LR2. I appreciate a suggestion of a workflow that is timetested.
Thank you...

ACR and Lightroom have identical functionality, its only the layout that is different. So when you have finished your raw adjustments in Lightroom and are ready to go into Photoshop you are at the same stage as you woud be if you opened the Raw image with ACR.
The External Editing Preferences allow you to specify your choice of PSD or Tiff. Thats appropriate as your Raw adjustments have already been done in the Develop module.
So, workflow.
Import to Lightroom > Edit in PS (if required) Close and Save.

Is there a good workflow between LR2.6 and PSE8?

Is there a good workflow between LR2.6 and PSE8? I am new to PSE and would like to use it as a secondary editor but continue to use LR to manage my photos. I read that PSE8 will handle raw format but can not get LR to export other than TIF, JPG and PSD. I woiuld appreciate tips fro others doing the same.

I noticed with one of my two LR2.6/PSE8 installations, that LR did not pick up PSE8 automatically as installed. I had to add the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
with two values to the registry (obviously I'm a WinXP user).
The attached .txt file embedded in the .zip shows the key and the two values needed in my case. To add the values to a registry, extact the .txt file from the .zip, remove the .txt extension from the name to make it a .reg file and double click it (at your own risk!).
After adding them, LR would show Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements ... as an option, which it would not before.

LR2 and PS4 - merging to HDR, merge to Panaorama and Edit in Layers not working

Hi,
I've recently upgraded from LR to LR2.1 and Photoshop CS to CS4. I've been trying to multi-select images from LR2 and edit them as HDR and Panoramas using the "Edit in->" merging options.
None of them seem to work. I can see PS CS4 being opened, but then nothing happens. No image is opened or dialog box shown anywhere. Closing PS doesn't prompt for any saving, etc.
I think the problem is because my RAW/DNG files are stored on a NAS. Trying to do the merge from PS directly using the files also doesn't work. But if I copy the files to my local HDD, then things work a lot better.
Is this a known issue with CS4?
iMac, OSX Leopard, 4Gb RAM.

I have done some more tests:
Setting up CS3 as "Additional External Editor" in LR2.1 Edit/Preferences/External Editing works fine with RAW ( .NEF ) files on NAS-drive.
Also CS4 as "Additional External Editor" works the same way. The procedure is the same as when CS3 was the standard editor, ie exporting a TIFF file from LR2.1.
The difference is that the standard CS4 integration is not writing TIFF files från LR, but has a more tight integration to CS4, which is much faster. But still not working when RAW files are on NAS. ( LR catalog files are on local disk ).
Configuration:
Dell dimension 9200
Windows Vista Home Premium ( 32-bit )
D-link DNS-323 NTFS file system
Lightroom 2.1
Photoshop CS4 Extended

LR3 ... How to merge catalogues for LR2 and LR3beta

OK I have just installed LR3 from a disc and took the option to update my old LR2 catalogue on set up.
However, I now have some recent shoot folders that I have only worked on in LR3beta (beta 1 or 2).
If I look in MyPhotos/Lightroom folder I have four Lightroom Catalogues listed as follows:
Lightroom 2 Cartalog.lrcat     444MB
Lightroom 3 Cartalog.lrcat       15MB
Lightroom 3 Cartalog.2.lrcat     87MB
Lightroom 3 Cartalog.3.lrcat   421MB
So I think the last one is the new converted catalogue converted from the first one
The 2nd one looks like my LR3 beta 1 catalogue..
and the third one looks like my LR3 beta 2 catalogue
Ideally I'd like to merge the last three catalogues adding some of the more recent shoot folders worked on in LR3 beta 2
How do I do this and how will the process resolve issues if I have worked on the same image in more than one version...add the LR3 beta 2 catalogue of LR with corrections now stored in more than one catalogue to
Many thanks for any advice....
Paul

Thanks LR boffin - I may put up with the inconvenience till the bug fix is done....in the meantime many thanks for the clear & informative reply - very much appreciated!!!
Ideally, I'd like them to offer a folder/shoot based OR an image by image decision process, to say I want to choose the LR2 or the LR3 beta treamtent OR perhaps ideally BOTH, labelled LR2 and LR3. That would be ideal - then one could simply compare side by side and go for the best solution. Just a thought.....something several beta users must be coping with. I have been with LR since the first beta...so should know better but am not totally computer savvy ( old dogs and new tricks unfortunately )
Cheers,
Paul

Is there a workflow for approval and Reversal of Regular Journal

Hi All,
Is there a workflow for approval and Reversal of Regular Journal .
can we use the standard park document workflow for the same .. ???
Thanks ,

For such activities you would probably better make use of ISR.

Why do my (raw) pictures display differently in LR2 and CS4 ???

Hello,
When I "Open with CS4" from LR2 the pictures seem to be opened as "raw" unprocessed pictures. LR2 did not ask for any options (which it does once I have modified the image in LR2). The raw develop screen from CS4 does not open...
any Ideas?
cu,
Michael

Indeed the Monitors (3 of them) are calibrated. I use a Spyder3Elite for calibrating. All three monitors show the same effect in any combination of LR2 and PS-CS4 displayed on the same or different monitors. To my knowledge I've never touched any settings within any adobe product that involves monitor adjustment and never had any problems with PS-CS3 using the same constellation.
Do you have any suggestions of where to look, or which settings to check?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi NVS,
What Markus says is correct. There is the ability to import wsdl services into workflow for a service step in the process but in general you may have to develop an abap object as a wrapper to access the third party system.
My rule of thumb is that if 70-80% of the process is in the one system (Web AS supporting the application) then it's fine doing it with workflow otherwise you should look at a more structured approach to make sure you have a stable solution for the long term - <a href="/people/alan.rickayzen/blog/2006/12/15/bpel-in-a-nutshell">BPEL</a> is the defacto standard for dealing with such processes so you should be looking at XI for the process integration combining it with workflow or tasks for the human integration.
If it's a simple process and you don't have workflow know-how then guided procedures is a good intuitive approach.

Workflow Agent Listener and Workflow Background Engine

Hi all,
I try to update roles via User Management responsibility but when applying them it throws the following warning: "Updates to Role data will not be visible in the application until the following processes are started : Workflow Agent Listener and Workflow Background Engine". So, my question is via which responsibility i can submit those requests and is there anything else i should know before creating, update roles and assigning permissions to them?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

I checked the requests and i found that Workflow Background Engine completed successful. Only Open Period Balance finished with error but is it possible this to be the reason of the given warning? I believe not.
And pls kindly explain what exactly means "you may need to log a SR."? Create a Service Request (SR) in My Oracle Support website so you get a help from Oracle Support Engineer (assuming you have a valid CSI number and MOS account) -- https://support.oracle.com
Thanks,

LR2 and importing keywords from CS3 Bridge

I've just started a 30 day LR trial and need some guidance, please, on successfully importing keywords from CS3 Bridge so that the complete heirarchy survives intact.
I've just imported the keywords to LR2 and found the heirarchy is mostly destroyed.
Also, Bridge allows you put a keyword inside "[ ]" (square brackets) if you want/need that word in the heirarchy but do not want it to be copied to the metadata. After importing to LR2, all the square brackets have gone.
I've imported some photos into LR2 but, when I look at their keywords, all the words which were within square brackets (and so not visible in the metadata in Bridge) are now visible in the metadata in LR2.
Anyone found a solution to this, please? I really don't want to have to re-keyword everything if there's another way.
Thanks, John Walmsley

Ginger
I ran a test for you. Started up my old computer that has windows XP OS. Took a photo and added a keyword by right clicking as your previous post outlined. I then looked at photo in Bridge CS3 on old machine. There was no keyword. Copied to flash drive and looked at photo on Vista computer with Bridge CS3. Still no keyword. Ran a search on Vista advanced for keyword on flash drive, and it gave a hit.
So my conclusion is that the keyword is there, but Bridge does not read the XP generated keyword. It will read a keyword generated by same method in Vista. Don't know what else to suggest. Don't have CS4 so do not know it that works or not.
Perhaps with these clues someone else can figure it out.
Good luck

LR2 and PS Eelements8 show different RGB for the same color - Please, HELP

LR2, Elements 8, Color Chart 24 (CC24),
Please help. I may need to reset LR2 to factory default or to something else.
For the following RAW adjustments the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0
I have photographed a CC24 in RAW. Opened image in Elements 8 and adjusted Exposure to 243 for the White patch #19
Then with with WB tool clicked on the 50% Gray and then readjusted exposure for the CC24 listed 243 for #19.
Now all Gray patches #19 through #24 as listed in the table or very close R=G=B (243, 200, 160, 122, 85, 52)
The RGB numbers for Red Patch #15 are R=169, G=58, B=63
The CC24 listed RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Also saved the adjusted image as JPG
Then opened the image in LR2 and adjusted exposure and WB as described above for Elements 8.
The Gray patches #19 through #24 show RGB numbers as listed in the table or very close.
The RGB numbers for the Red patch #15 are R=138, G=84, B=64.
However the CC24 RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Exported the image as JPG
Then opened the two saved JPG images in Elements. these two images read almost identical RGB numbers for each patch.
How can I fix LR2 RGB reading. Recently I have saved as defaults the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0 and probably did it wrong. My be I need to reset LR2 to the factory defaults to restore its correct reading or something else.
Please help.
Leonid

Q1. Is that means that when LR2 Exported RAW to JPG the correct numbers resulted from conversion?
You should be careful with the term RGB numbers. Such numbers are only useful when you know the working space. For example, sRGB, adobeRGB, prophotoRGB, melissaRGB, etc. The numbers I calculated are simply the reference numbers (find them here: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorCheckerRGB.html ). I recalculated the values in the display space used in Lightroom from Bruce Lindbloom's values in normal prophotoRGB which is a simple arithmetic excercise. When Lightroom exports a jpeg, you can set the color space in the export panel and it will do the conversion for you meaning that it will translate between its internal colorspace and the desired export color space. In an external program, you will usually be working in sRGB, adobeRGB, or prophotoRGB, which are the three main spaces that Lightroom exports to. As you can see from Bruce's tables in the link above the RGB values for these patches in all these spaces are different.
For example RGB for MacBeth CC24 Red patch (#15) was shown as 203, 0, 0 and x-rite RGB is 174, 54, 60.
They are actually the exact same chart. As I say above the values are meaningless if you don't know the colorspace. The first RGB triplet you quote makes no sense at all. It does not correspond to any colorspace listed for the MacBeth chart. The zeros indicate that the color is far outside of the gamut of the used color space, so the value is basically useless. The second is sort of close to the sRGB value.
Q.2 Would it mean that your shown table should not be applied to (used with) x-rite CC24 but to MacBeth only?
They should be pretty good for both as the chart is supposed to be the same.
Q3. Have you created your posted LR table or it was provided by Adobe?
I created it myself. Since you have a colorchecker, you should look into creating a camera profile using it. This can be done with X-rite's excellent passport utility (free download from their website), or with Adobe's free DNG profile Editor. Simply shoot a chart in the right light conditions and run the raw/dng file through this utility and a profile is created that will allow you to get very good color rendering from your camera if you shoot raw.

LR4 opens as lr2 and images not found

LR4 opens as lr2 and images not found, can anyone help me please, I'm hopeless.
LR4 just uploaded as upgrade.

Thanks dj, what happens is when I click on the LR4 shortcut LR4 window starts to open, flashes momentarily as LR4 then buggers off before fully opening my old LR2.
I have removed the LR4 installed yesterday, and reinstalled, but same problem. Also the installation process now seems to never stop cycling. It goes through the full installion cycle, then starts/repeats again. I have followed the prompts and run through it 3 times before giving up.
Any more clues on what I have done wrong, or now need t do please.

Workflow on-board and external storage

Workflow on-board and external storage
My photography is expanding rapidly, such that I have quickly run out of space on my harddrive, although my MacBook Pro is under 1 year old and when I bought it, was over dimensioned.
I'm looking for an updated storage / availability / backup solution.
I have recently purchased Aperture but I still use iPhoto in parallel. I import all photos into iPhoto and mostly sort them there, because I find it easier, not yet having had the time to discover whether Aperture can do it better. I use Aperture primarily for editing.
I also use iPhoto Library Manager, to organize a dozen mostly unimportant libraries on an external drive, available when I'm in the office.
My dilema is that I am traveling extensively and have even been buying small 1TB drives on the road to keep up with my need to back-up my SDHC cards.
I like the convenience of having everything "with me", but with the exponential need for more space I might have to change my thinking. Bandwidth constraints on-the-road and also the "waste of time aspect" suggest that small portable drives are possibly the best solution.
When back in the office however, I would also like to have "everything with me", daisy-chained or however, but I'm primarily looking for a professional workflow solution, which will also accommodate my travel requirements. Exchangeable drives which can be use in an "ice-box" type solution are OK for project based assignments which often can be archived "for ever". However, the (occasional*) need for access in remote countries creates problems and I'm not a friend of Cloud solutions. *Often when I'm away I have more peace and quiet for archiving and sorting old photo shoots then when I'm in the office.
Aperture will possibly become my preferred editor, but I am open.
Sorry if this is long, but I tried to cover everything which occurred to me to avoid excess "ping-pong."
Many thanks in advance!

What is the difference between project workflow activities UpdateProjectProperty and UpdateTextProperty in visual studion 2012?

Hello All,
What is the difference between project workflow activities 'UpdateProjectProperty' and 'UpdateTextProperty' in visual studion 2012?

Hi,
Both are developed with .NET framework, per my knowledge, the biggest difference would be the environment they applied to: one for Windows platform, one for SharePoint platform:
