When switching from the Library to Develop module, there's a several second delay. However, when going to the Book module, LR4.1 will beach ball for a good 15-20 seconds. Other modules (Slideshow, Print, Web) are better, but....
My spec's: 2010 15" MacBook Pro, 2.4Ghz i5, 8gigs of RAM, 500gig 7200rpm HD, nVidia 330 with 256mb of video RAM.
It seems that in Lightroom 4 you have the ability to turn off individual modules by right clicking on them and unchecking whichever ones you don't use. I'm wondering if when modules are unchecked, does that increase the speed or performance of the system?
I recently upgraded to LR4 from 3 and definitely experienced a major slow down. That being said, when I uncheck everything except the development module, the sluggishness completely disappears. Is turning individual modules off actually improve performance?
Each time I want to edit an image from LR in PS (edit in PS as hdr, edit in photoshop as panorama,...) I´m asked to update the ACR module from PS CS5 to ACR 7.3 which is not possible. Is there a possibility that this incompatibility will be abandoned in future updates of PS and/or LR?
Something that irritates me with LR(2,3,4) is that the FOLDER panel is not available across all modules. hence you have to create a collection or preselect your pictures first in Library .
I just got Lightroom 5.3 for my Macbook Pro and have been attempting to use it for the past several days, but regardless of what I try nothing works -- I have spent several hours on the Adobe troubleshooting website going through every procedure several times and no luck. I've run disk recovery and tried everything including changing my Lightroom preferences to "read & write".
When I'm trying to run Lightroom 4 on Mac, it gives this message: "there was an error when trying to change modules". I had the same problem with Lightroom 3. I changed my system and now I'm running OS X Mountain Lion.
Modules take forever to load when LR4 is first started. I've asked this question before, and Adobe's response was something I'd expect from MicroSlop ("it's a feature, not a bug) - specifically, it takes upwards of 25 seconds for the Book module to load (system specs below). Adobe's response was that the individual modules don't load until you click on them. Blurb book quality - I've had a couple of friends, and numerous posts on the Blurb forums, complaining about the quality of their books. I did several with Aperture and had no issues. Adobe seems to be....no...they ARE extremely slow about issuing updates (3 months to get 4.1 out) and are dead silent in their blogs about
Some entries say that previews in the develop module are more accurate than the library module.If we have sRGB or Adobe RGB monitor, is it possible to have different views in these two modules?
After I have re-imported a corrupted xml file with print templates, LR starts with error "An error occured while trying to switch between modules" (or so, translated from german).This happens after selecting a catalog - however, regardless of the catalog choosen (even after creating a new one).Funny enough, for other users on the same system, the problem does not occur.
-> What can I do to get rid of the problem? -> Do I have to reinstall / change or delete files?
I use a wide gammut monitor. The colors in the LR5 presentation module are different to the other modules. It seems, that the color-management inside lightroom don't work correctly. In all other modules and photoshop the colors are correct.In the earlier versions of LR the colors are correct.
I get this message even after 3 attempts to unistall and re-install lr5. I even deleted the downloads and re-downloaded it twice to make sure. It will not let me import or do anything.I an trying to do the free trial so I can decide between this or Aperture. If I cannot run the trial, I wonder if I will be able to run the full version! I will be using this in conjunction with nik soft or topaz, and need to know if everything will play nice together.
I have read and reread the file for getting the error when changing modules. I have a brand new macbook pro with vs 10.8.3 installed. I have looked, searched everywhere in profile, library. I have even downloaded beta lr 5 and the same issue exists.
I have been working on a set of images from a recent vacation and created a web gallery to display them. I am using a Retina MacBook Pro and I noticed that when loaded in the browser (Safari), the gallery images look slightly blurry - similar to "non-retina" prepared images. I also created a slideshow in the slideshow module and they look the same.
if this is due to the fact that Lightroom is not rendering the preview images to be compatible with retina (HiDPI) support? I have invested in such an expensive piece of hardware and I'm getting such blurry looking images.
I cannot create a Library in Lightroom due to the following error. "an error occurred when attempting to change modules". I am getting no where with customer service.
I've noticed in the past couple of days that I will be refining an image in the develop module, feel I've gotten it the way I want it to look, and then switch back to the library module to export. When I do so, I notice the colors are quite different than they were just a second ago in the develop module. When I switch back to the develop module, it goes back to the way it looked in the develop module. How might I fix this?
I've been using bridge the past 2yrs, currently CS5... and looking to switch to Lighroom4.
Thing is, I'll probably use bridge from time to time, and already started rating stuff in Bridge. I noticed when I opened Lightroom that the star ratings were there which is great, but, in Lightroom I setup a copyright and applied it to a group of images which when in Bridge I'm not seeing.
When doing star ratings, keywords and copyright tags... do the files/images saves that info? I don't want to spend the time cleaning up my system in Lightroom, to find out that when I burn the files to discs and use on other systems or in Bridge the info doesn't carry.
I'm using Lightroom 2.6 on a Mac G5. I've got 93.36Gb of photos ( 9,000 RAW files plus their sidecar files) on a 500Gb firewire 400 drive. I'm upgraing to a 1TB firewire 800 external, and my file is (I believe) on my internal hard drive under users somewhere.
I can piggy back the new and old externals, or copy my photos to the internal and then transfer to the new drive when I connect it, but I have no way of connecting both firewire drives to the computer at the same time.
What's the most effective and easiest way to transfer my catalog and photo files from one drive to another and have Lightroom find them and sort everything out?
Almost every time I switch in and out of Lightroom 5.2 running on OS X mavericks cursor and keyboard control freezes up for around 10-30 seconds. Other applications including LR still continue to work during this freeze up but the mouse cursor will not move and I just have to sit and wait for a little while and everything will resume normally after this delay.
I recently updated Lighroom 4.1 to 4.2 successfuly, but now any time I go into the Develop module, Lightroom pauses, then crashes and forces me to quite the program. Is this a bug than needs to be ironed out, or is there something else going on?
So, this might be a silly question. I have lightroom on one monitor and when I drag it over (the program window) to my other monitor it pops (changes color) after about 1/2 a second. There is a shift in color. I'm wondering if it is the monitors ICC profile or something weird like that? Both of my monitors are samsungs (different models) and they are both using the Samsung natural color profile.
In Library mode, when I'm switching between all my photos, there is a fade in fade out transition as it switches to the next photo. Can I get rid of this transition? I would like to just switch to the next photo without any fancy transition.
I'm a huge fan of Full screen mode (pressing F) to review my image large without UI clutter.However often the image in Fullscreen looks quite different from what I see in normal mode within Develop. The full screen image is brighter (by about 0.5EV) and lacks contrast. Exporting the image and reviewing externally shows that it is faithful to the version in normal Develop mode.
Originally I thought this was due to visual perception where the dark border made the full screen version appear brighter, but this isn't the case. Using Lights out mode with all tabs collapsed and then switching to Fullscreen also exhibits the difference. Further I've taken screenshots of both modes, put them in layers in Photoshop and the difference is very noticeable switching between them.
I'm not sure if nobody is noticing or using Fullscreen or if it's somehow unique to me? As it stands, without being able to trust Fullscreen mode showing a faithful image it's rather useless as a review tool.
