Lightroom :: 4 Import Process Is Hanging?

May 30, 2012

I just downloaded the trial of Lightroom 4 to see if it's a better fit for me than Picasa.
 
I have all my images ordered by Date on an external NAS device.
So...
 
z:/photos/1999
.../2000
.../2001
......../2001/2001_01_01 New Years Day (for example).
 
I only started shooting in RAW this year. When I shoot in RAW, I have a subfolder called RAW. I then process the raws to JPG using Photoshop batch processor and place them in teh root of the folder.
 
So I will have a structure like :
 
2010_05_04
img_1.jpg
img_2.jpg
 
and then in 2010_05_04/RAW
img_1.cr2
img_2.cr2 .. etc.
 
I installed lightroom and went to import the pictures. I have (according to Picasa) 24,295 photos image files. these are all either JPG, RAW (cr2), or .AVI or .MOV. THe vast majority are images.
 
LIghtroom is hanging on 11,622.
 
I'm not sure why. It isn't even picking up certain date folders at all (like 2012, 2006, or 2007).
 
I tried cancelling the import process (hitting the X) and then starting again but it still continues to hang.

For the past week, my LR5.3 has been hanging when I am importing pictures, adding pictures to the Library or Exporting timelapse. Does caching directory have anything to do with it? is there a way to test the issue?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Plot Process Hanging

Jan 30, 2012

Last week we started having an issue with one of the AutoCAD 2010 installs, When she would go to plot (to any plotter or PDF) the plot process would just hang up and continue to show (in the lower right corner) that it was working, sometimes it would actually print the page but it wouldn't format it right, This morning a second install started doing it too. I chacked and ran though the proceedure for ACAD.VLX virus and it still is doing this. After autocad sits there for a minute showing the plot process the addons reload. I have tried plotting with no addons loaded and I am still getting the same problem.

Machine software config:
Windows 7 64 bit
Autocad 2010 32bit loaded
Microvellum 6.7 addon

Lightroom :: After Import Images Adjust To Cross Process 1 Not Set In Import Settings

Nov 4, 2012

This issue occured shortly after update to 4.2, but not directly after. I am using windows 8.
 
The issue that occurs is after importing images they are adjusted automatically to develop module cross process 1. After dealing with this annoyance for a bit of time I realized that I can not even "RESET ALL" the images to delete the adjustment. In delving into other images that have been in my database for quite some time, I have tried to "RESET ALL", which resets images to CROSS PROCESS 1. I have never set import to automatically adjust.

Lightroom :: 3.6 - No Images To Import And Process Shuts Down

Feb 3, 2013

I have Lightroom 3 version 3.6 installed on my MacBook. I then upgraded to OS X 10.8.2. Since the upgrade when I try to import raw images from my Nikon D3100 camera I get images to preview and select but when I select and try to import I receive a message saying that there are no images to import and then the import process shuts down. I have also downloaded the most current version of Java RunTime. How can I fix the import process and resume using Lightroom?

Lightroom :: Program Hangs During Import Process

Oct 10, 2013

Since installing Lightroom 5, the program hangs during the import process. I never had this issue with Lightroom 4, but recently had a system crash and lost my former catalog. There are about 140,000 images to be imported from a 3TB hard drive.
 
I'm running a PC with 24 GB of RAM, a 128 GB SSD boot drive and a dedicated 128 GB SSD dirve for Photoshop/Bridge/Lightroom cache.

Lightroom :: How Does Import Process Sort Images On Memory Card

Jul 29, 2012

It seems as if there is no rhyme of reason as to how the import process presents the previews to select for import. I did s shoot last night and the images are spread out over different areas between other photos that I took in the past. Shouldn't they just be sorted by image name so they are presented together?

Lightroom :: Preparing Print Job Just Hanging When Printing To JPEG?

Jan 22, 2012

I've done quite a bit of research in the forums for a similar problem but not quite got any suitable answer. I'm running LR3.6 on WinXP SP3 with 4Gb RAM (3Gb useable). I'm trying to print 140 images setup on 7 pages each 16" x 24" JPEG size files (settings as below). Surely that should be a doodle? 2 hr+ later, I just have the "Preparing Print Job" progress bar doing nothing like it's expecting further input from me. No error messages, nothing, until I quit. Is there anything I should be watching out for? It's the first time I've tried to convert such a large collection to file and it's rather worrisome that I have these problems. case of "user error"

Illustrator :: CS6 - Converting PMS To Process For Files To Be Printed 4 Color Process

Oct 4, 2012

How the PMS color palettes "simulate" on screen how the color will print on different substrates (glossy vs matte vs uncoated paper). That's great for comps, but if you convert it to CMYK to print it, and the values are representing a "simulated" color it won't look correct (by that I mean come close to matching the spot color). For example, the uncoated palette simulates the color by making them appear a bit washed out on screen - pretty good visual simulation. But it might do so by adding black and cyan to orange for example, etc. - effectively dulling the original color.

So if I convert that to CMYK within the new Pantone + color palette, and then send it to the printer - it won't appear as it did on screen, it will dull the end color even more because it's converted the color to the dull simulated version - what a disaster! It's only doing half the job - showing us what it should look like on screen. In order to be truly efficient for design professionals the CMYK conversion might remove black and cyan completely to effectively brighten the color in the final output on uncoated paper. I would prefer it just stick to the standard conversion, which Pantone did have as a standard palette option (PMS to process), and then I can adjust if I think it's necessary.
 
Any corporate branding system will likely start with a PMS spot color palette for the identity. Then it will build into many different adaptations - full color brochures, large format banners and trade show graphics, website, advertising. So any corporate branding system will need to have PMS, CMYK and RGB versions of their main corporate color palette. There was a standard for these translations that was automatically consistent in the Adobe software and that is now all over the place, so it relies on individuals manually adapting the color mixes for final use - what a great way to screw things up.

Lightroom :: How To Process HDR Photo In CS5

Aug 2, 2013

I just installed LR 5 and want to process an HDR photo in CS 5.  When I select CS 5 on the "Edit In" the HDR option is greyed out.  If I try to just process a photo in CS 5 I get a message that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.1 for full compatibility.
 
CS 5 says my version has no updates.  LR 5 says there are no upgrades although I have seen some reference to LR 5.2.

Lightroom :: Adobe DNG Converter 6.4 To Process

Jun 26, 2012

I have a Nikon D7k which I have been shooting in RAW and converting using Adobe DNG converter 6.4 to process in Lightroom 2. (I have a G4 (PPC) Mac with OS 10.5.8. LR2 is the last version this Mac can run.) The converted files look rather poor and require substantial effort to achieve an acceptable result in LR. JPEGs look much better out-of-the-camera. I looked at some of the RAW files in Nikon ViewNX2 and they looked much, much better. Unfortunately, there is some sort of color space conflict with LR2 which I have been unable to resolve.
 
Any way other than shooting in JPEG, which I am presently doing, until such time as I get a new computer which will run the latest versions of LR and PS?

Lightroom :: Modify V3 Export Process

Feb 5, 2012

I want to modify the standard Lightroom 3 export process - I want exported images to be placed in folders named from the collections that are being exported.
 
Can I do this without writing a complete plugin - which would be hard work and error prone? Ideally I'd like to add an option  to the 'File Naming -> custom ' section of the export dialog.

Lightroom :: 3.5 Opens New Images In Old Process

Nov 10, 2011

Using Lightroom 3.5.  It seems to me in the past that my images would import and the 2010 process would be applied automatically.  However, no matter what I do, I'm getting to the "!" on my new imports. But I guess I have forgotten what to do to force Lightroom to default to the 2010 process.

Lightroom :: ACR Process 12 Adjustments To DNG Compatible With 3.6?

Mar 7, 2013

I am using Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 3.6.  If I open an NEF problem image from my D600 in the new ACR in order to take advantage of the extra power of Process 2012, "develop" it, and then save it as a new DNG file (version 6.6 or older), will ACR "render" the adjustments to the image so that the new DNG will have the changes made to the underlying data so that they will appear when the DNG opened in Lightroom 3.6?  At which point the file is available for cropping, exporting, or other adjustments?
 
I am forced to use Windows XP.  I have no choice in the matter for the forseeable future, yet the power and simplicity of Lightroom is too compelling to give up.

Lightroom :: 4.1 Very Slow To Open And Process Pictures?

Sep 16, 2012

I've downloaded the trial version of Lightroom 4.1 to give a try with my raw files.
 
First LR is very slow at generating the preview (takes about 30 sec for some files), the only filter applied at import is "Lens correction".

When Applying corrections, it takes seveal seconds to see it on the preview and there is also a lot of lag.
 
Maybe is a limitation of the trial ? My RAW files are CR2 from a DSLR Canon EOS 60D (18 Mpix): 5184x3456.
 
I try LR on the following setup:
 
OS: Windows 7 SP1 32bit
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
RAM: 2 GB
HD system: 7200 RPM 300 GB
Screen resolution: 1920x1080

Lightroom :: Importing 2010 Process Image Into 5?

Jun 11, 2013

I've just exported as catalog 2 images from an older catalog ( process version 2010 into LR5. there was no way to automatically convert them to 2012 process.I had to turn on the calibration panel in Develop mode and then set it to 2012 and then copy the 2012 calibration to the other image.
 
As a check, I checked this by exporting 1 image that was process version 2010 into LR5 and it automatically made it 2013,
 
Then I checked it again, imported a catalog from LR 4.3 which had only process version 2010 images in. The import upgraded and disgarded the temp library used in the upgrade process, and again, there was no option to automatically convert the images to PV2013.

See graphic below
 
Which has to be a dropbox link as the add image is not working in Chrome this morning,

Lightroom :: Freezes Within 15 Minutes Of Activity And Process Cannot End

Apr 28, 2013

Some time ago Lightroom started freezing, it didn't matter too much what screen was involved. I'd be editing a photo or even doing something outside of lightroom and lightroom would become unresponsive and wouldn't display the current image etc.
 
It would allow you to close it, however the process would stay open in the task manager. No matter how one tries to close the tree or process, it totally ignores these requests and requires a reboot to resume work. This also happens while using photoshop with lightroom open - the two programs freezing in tandem.
 
I have tried doing memory checks on the drive with no problem showing, I have run registry cleaning / ccleaner and so on. There is no spyware or viruses operating. The reliability monitor does not show these crashes. I am unaware of anything that was installed or uninstalled or when this specifically started happening.
 
There have been a few driver power state failure blue screens while using lightroom (although nowhere near as many as the simple freezes). Unable to diagnose the problem with this I uninstalled and reinstalled lightroom. I have tried both 4.4 and the new 5 in the hope that maybe something was fixed. My display drivers I am pretty sure are up to date also.

Lightroom :: Backup Process Would Go Into Endless Loop?

Mar 28, 2012

Win 7, LR4

I have a Western Digital desktop 1 TB backup, using the WD Anywhere Backup software. I have had zero issues using this over the last three years with previous LR versions, Win Vista, and now Win 7. This issue started with the LR 4 beta, and continues with LR 4. No other issues with any other program.
 
I back up my LR catalog daily when exiting LR. The backup process would go into an endless loop, cycling through optimize, integrity, and backup routines. It would get almost to the end, and start over. After several cycles, LR would stop responding and quit. I would also get a popup from the Anywhere Backup software, telling me there was an error in the backup process. Another popup would tell me it had quit and offer to submit the info to WD, which I did on several occasions. I finally figured out I could complete the backup process if I paused the WD backup process, but I started getting other error messages related to WD. I have now got it down to actually quitting the WD program before opening LR, and once I have closed LR, restarting the WD program and all is well.

Lightroom :: 4 Does Not Reliably Display 3 Process Version

Mar 7, 2012

I successfuly imported my LR 3 catalog to LR 4. At first, all photos looked as like as I had them processed in LR 3.
 
But by entering the developing module, sometimes there comes the suprise: After LR 4 loads the data, it changes in some cases the NEF-photo suddenly to a complete different look (for instance much brighter)! From that time on the preview and even the LR 3 snapshots are likewise displayed in the altered way. By the way, this happens before I change the photo to the 2012 process version! (When I change it to the 2012 process version, LR 4 uses the altered photo, not the in LR 3 originally processed one.)
 
I didn't find out yet, which photos are affected. It seems to me that the problem appears mainly with the more post processed ones (for instance sunset and dusk photos where I had massively to reduce the contrast).

Lightroom :: Presets And Process Version Update

May 21, 2012

I have been using LR for ages at work and recently got offered a free full version of LR 4 by Amazon Vine programme. I happily installed it on my laptop and imported my presets which I mostly created myself.I was shocked to find that they look completely different on LR 4 (last version I used was 3.4) and found out that this is due to the new process version.
 
I have to tweak a LOT and still am not satisfied with the results. The main problem seems to be that ALL photos start with a linear curve, no matter which custom curve the preset contains. Is this a bug or a feature?It is really getting on my nerves and I am considering to go back to good old LR 3 again. Questions I have:

1. Could this problem be due to the fact that I did not to an upgrade but installed a completely new version of LR3?

2. Whenever I google I find the hint that there should be a dialog menue like this URL... this dialog never appears on my LR version. Or it did for the first time and I clicked "Don't show again" - I can not remember If I did chose to not show it again - can I redo it? Maybe it would make the tweaking easier if I had a preview which I absolutely don't have on my LR version.

Lightroom :: 4 - Process RAW File In Develop Module

Apr 19, 2012

I am using LR4. I did process a RAW file in the Develop module (i.e. correcting noise) but when I go back to the Library module and selecting this specific image, the corrections do not seem to be applied.

Strange enough, this behaviour seems to be specific to the image (others images do show up in Library with corrections applied in the develop module).

Lightroom :: Find Previous Process Photos

Dec 2, 2012

I am a relativcely new Lightroom user, and brand new to Lightroom 4.  (I just upgraded after a hardware failure forced me to get a new computer.)  My photos all came up missing -- mainly because the new computer assigned a different drive path to the external hard drive where most of my photos were stored.  I spent much of yesterday locating 5000+ photos in my old catalog.  Late in the day I tried to import the "located "photos into the new Lightroom 4 catalog.  I am not sure what actually happened, but the photos do not currently appear in either the old catalog or the Lightroom 4 catalog.  Fortunately, Lightroom does seem to know how to find them, because if I click "find previous process photos," the re-located photos are displayed.  How do I get these photos incorporated safely in a catalog?  Do I need to do take appropriate steps before conducting any other processing of photos?

Lightroom :: Remove Process Version Warning?

Sep 11, 2012

I work in a studio where we use a DNG workflow - delivering DNG files to prepress. We are currently upgrading to LR4 to support some new cameras. Long story short, our prepress provider is using PSCS5 (and ACR 6.7) which means we'll need to keep our work in process 2010 for the forseeable future.
 
Given that I'll be sticking with process 2010 for a while, is there a way to turn off/disable the little exclamation point version warning?
