I use the print module extensively and have a large collection of "saved prints".How can I search this list by name ? (My saved prints names include date and original picture name) Browsing the collection in grid view is not very practical.
View 3 RepliesI have many pictures (about 10'000). Now i need a search (smart search) with pictures where only my mother (is marked)
On all my pictures each person is tagged. For my mother the Person Tag is called "mother"
I created a saved search with the criteria Person include "mother". The problem now is that also pictures are shown with my mother and other persons. But i would like only pictures from my mother without other persons. Something like... "Person is mother and not person "sister" and not person "friends" etc.
I'm using Lightroom 5.2RC. Not sure if this started happening with the 5.2RC version or if it's been an issue for a while.
While in Library mode, when I choose a library search filter preset, say all 5 stars, and then toggle the filter off and on again, the search criteria randomizes to something wildly different than what I was just searching for, for example, adding text and metadata to the search queries when I only had star attributes selected a few seconds before.
I've experimented with turning the filter lock icon on and off and that seems to have no effect. Switching between folders in my catalog and toggling search off and on, results in the same random search criteria being generated.
Lightroom 4.2 – the situation is this, I have a number of pictures of group shots with many people. I tag each person in each photo. I show my photos to these people and they would like a print of photos with them in it. I am an amature photographer currently located in India where most people have no cameras, so I normally oblige if someone wants my of them pictures printed. On one such occasion I took a week long trip with some friends.After showing them the pictures I tagged “Print for Raju”, “Print for Priya”, “Print for Varun”. The problem arises now when I try to search keywords in the “contains all” section, “print for varun” doesn’t do an exact search. Rather if Raju wanted a picture of Varun printed, that picture would have the tag “Varun” and “print for Raju” and which would make the photo included in my search “print for varun” even if varun doesn’t want the picture.
Is there a way to search EXACTLY what I type? If my picture has 15 tags, “contains all” will search all those tags and if it can piece together the three words I am searching for out of all of the tags, it will reveal results inconsistent with my desires.I realize now that I could use collections instead of tags for compiling pictures to print for people.
We are trying to automate a process we do most nights:
1) Log in to vault client.
2) Find a saved search called "Bobs Drawings".
3) Export saved search to csv or excel.
I would like to have a short VBA script which we could set up on the computer to run automatically and do this every night. Seems like a simple few lines of code but I've only ever made VBA scripts inside Inventor and never stand alone .exe files.
When a raw file badge shows that the file has been changed, I use Metadata Save to File & for the large majority of my images, the badge goes away and Metadata Status Changed does not show the file. For some of my files, however, the Save to File command doesn't work properly. If I am only displaying files with changes, the file briefly disappears, then returns. Even if I go to Windows Explorer and delete the xmp file, then again Save metadata to file, it pops up again with the badge saying it needs to be saved. I'm using Lightroom 4.3 64 bit on Windows 7.

How can I update the saved gallery? If you change module and double click again on the saved gallery icon, the changes are lost.

How do you solve this without the need to delete and save the gallery again?
My prints are getting clipped no matter what I try to do. I am losing approximately 1/8" from all sides of the finished print. From what I can tell, the picture is actually printing larger than the specified size.
This is my process:
In the Develop module I am cropping to the desired aspect ratio using LR presets, then going straight to the print module. My printer is an HP Photosmart C4780. In the Print module I set my margins to 0 and cell size to 4in x 6in. The picture on the screeen looks exactly how I want it to print. I go to Page Setup, select my printer, paper size (borderless 4x6) and orientation, click OK. Then to Print Settings, select the HP paper I am using, click borderless, click save. If I click "scale to fit paper size", I still lose approximately 1/16" on each side. Under Image Settings, I deselect zoom to fill. I have tried selecting it but still experience clipping. I have tried moving the margins in by fractions of an inch and I seem to recover some of the image, but its a long trial and error process that I feel I shouldn't have to do.
A 4x6 test print on regular 8.5x11 paper measures 4-1/8" x 6-1/8". The print layout in LR clearly says 4x6.
Does the watermark only used for images to be used for web base or put your watermarks on the actual printout?
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to get rid of the border on 5x7 prints. i've removed them before but can't seem to remember what i did to get the full 5x7 print.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI print using Lr 3.6 and seem to never get on paper what Lr shows on screen. A case in point is that if I print with no (zero) borders specified in the Layout section of the Print module I get a print which is identical to the one I obtain when I set the left and right borders to non-zero values (e.g. 2mm). This is even though Lr's screen does show no borders in the first case and the expected borders in the second case.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI print out of Lightroom, monitor and printer calibrated with Colormunki. Soft proof with the paper profile looks fine (whether the manufacturer's or mine).
Print into jpeg file - looks fine..Print to printer with identical profile - colors don't match. It makes a significant difference whether perceptive or relative is chosen in color management, but in both cases colors just don't match. Perceptive - colors look completely different, relative - most colors are good, but deep black shadows for example are dark grey instead of black.
Printing the colorsamples for the colormunki - all colors look perfect.I've spent a fortune meanwhile on paper and ink..
I have profiled my monitor and my printer. I can print from photoshop and prints match my display. When I print out of lightroom, they are not even close. I use the same printer profile and the program manages the color.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have used LR 2 in the past with Windows 98 and an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 shooting with Pentax k10d using DNG files and printing with few or no problems with minimal developing. I am now trying LR 4 with the same printer and camera but with Windows 7 and with little or no changes in developing the prints are very dull and almost black. I have the latest driver updates and am have the printer letting the application manage the color with the correct setting in profile.

I have searched my entire library for a particular keyword. The results are onscreen now and number several hundred shots. I now want to show just the jpg versions and ignore the cr2. Can I filter the results somehow?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWorking on a reverse image search for LR? Or a local app for Mac (I found this for Windows: URL...)
Sometimes a client will email me a proof or low res photo of mine asking for a high res version, without the original filename, and sometimes they take a screenshot so my metadata is missing (so can't look up by date, etc). It would be handy to do a LR reverse image search (like Tineye.com, Google image search, etc).
I'm looking for a B&W I know I printed. It is in a collection with 3000+ images. I know the meta data shows when a file was printed. Is there a way I can filter images that were printed? I It would narrow down my search to maybe 100 images.

Using a keyword search "contains all" brought up photos of pictures in which that keyword was not applied to them. I selected these photos and the keyword was not associated with the photos.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUnfortunately I have found some corrupt CR2 files in my library (less than 1% so not general problem, files have been moved to my current machine from other source).
Inside Lightroom the photos (Library Grid view) are marked with an exclamation mark in the upper right corner.
Is there a way in Lightroom to search for all files which have such corruption problems? It is a rather large library to scroll through manually.
This is upsetting. I try to use the Filter Bar in LR4 to search by metadata, and I keep getting "No Photos Match The Filter", even though the Filter Bar is telling me that 108 photos match the filter.
I have All Photographs selected, and the Filter Bar says 108 photos match "Buffalo Zoo", but there are 0 file types (!!!!), 0 lenses (!!!!) and 0 cameras available in this search. How can that be? How do I get this search to work?
After clicking on a keyword in the Keyword List to filter my results, how do you remove that filter to go back to where it was before? I can click on another keyword or I can choose Previous Import under Catalog, though is there another way to remove the most recent keyword filter? A keyboard shortcut?

How can I get my pictures back to Lr? Using Lr 3.6
I've got loads of folders in my library, and they span over several pages on the Folders section in the Library module. But, when I want to search for a photo using the Library filter, I need to always first, move my mouse and click manually over the Folders section to the top Parent folder before I can do a search on the entire catalog. I don't want to always have to find the most parent folder and click on it before I do a search across the entire library.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to search photos in LR as I would do in Explorer.
I don't use tags, but I give folder names meaningfull names.
So for example if I have
Mark in Boston
Peter in New York
Mark in Rome
I would like to do a search like
1)
Find of pictures that whose's folders contains "*Mark*"
and this will pick "Mark in Boston" and "Mark in Rome"
2)
Find "Mark" or "Peter" and he will give me pictures from all the threee directory.
Lightroom 3.6 and 4: Is it possible to search by synonym of a keyword? It was possible in LR2 (if I remember it correctly) and after LR3 the feature has been gone and looks like it's still not possible. I have huge controlled vocabulary keyword database with synonyms and translations for stock usage and can’t search using synonims.

OK. So how do I print a 4x6 borderless print on my new 7510 Photosmart? My only options seem to be a 4x6 tab print. What gives?
