Is there any way to save my corrections that I made to one so that I can just apply it to all of them? Its just time consuming have to go through and make all the same changes over and over again.

I have CS2, and not dealing with a camera that has RAW.
I have taken some photos of text books in a library, the photos aren't the best quality because I was in a hurry and the library rules forbid photos being taken so most of them are not straight, a bit blury or taken at the wrong angle (star wars film intro text style!!).
I needed to convert these jpegs to doc format or PDF but since the texts shown in the photos are not perfectly straight or clear how to get the texts in the photos straight and clear enough to be able to convert them correctly to .doc or pdf formats.
i have some pics that were taken at an outside picnic. the sky behind the subjects is almost white, but they are in really deep shadow. When i fix the subjects the rest of the photo is really bad. I've made some headway with adjustemnt layers and masks, but is there anything else i could be doing?

The only posts I ever see on any site usually deal with Photoshop. I've been getting decent results using one step photo finish and then sliding the overall brightness bar to a negative position usually -10 to -30. I then go to fade correction and use a value of 46. This seems to do a decent job. My wife and I are avid snorkelers so I'm usually taking my pictures at a depth of 10' - 30' of water with an internal flash.
I don't have either the lens correction tab or detail tab listed to the right side in develop module. It also appears any standard presets that were there are gone.

However when I open the images in Camera Raw I have automatic access to this profile. I also have access to a custom Fuji profiles which I have downloaded and installed with Adobe Profile Downloader but which don't appear in the Lightroom module.

I had always assumed that Camera Raw formed the basis of Lightroom.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the DEVELOP mode on the right side of the screen there are functions for TONE, DETAIL, EFFECTS etc.The top one is BASIC.Somehow my "BACIC" has disappeared from the list.How did that happen and how do I get it back? I can't edit without it.I can CROP, STRAIGHTEN, SPOT, etc, but not FILL LIGHT, CONTRAST, etc. There doesn't seem to be a icon to get it back either?

One shows the new form for the basic panel of the develop module, e.g., including the brightness slider. The other installation reverted to the Lightroom 3 panel, and I can't find a preference that affects this.

I recently purchased LR 4.2. I already have PSE 7 and have used it for several years. I have been trying to straighten verticals in photos of tall buildings, old courthouses, etc. where I had to point the camera up to capture the image I wanted (capture the highest spire and the base of the building and a little of the surrounding area). Photos taken like this end up "leaning" backwards quite a bit and, if shot from an angle especially, some of the verticals are seriously disorted (not just perspective). I usually line up on one vertical side when taking the picture; this results in the vertical on the other side being stretched outwards at the bottom compared to
PSE has a filter that allows you to correct camera distortion including vertical perspective that works pretty well. PSE also has some distortion functions that allow you to stretch, skew, or free distort an image. I use skew to take the side of the picture where the bottom is wider than the top (sloping from top to bottom, left to right sort of like a slash "/" character). I select the bottom, left corner and pull it in until the vertical looks about right.
So now that I have LR, I wanted to see how its distortion correction worked compared to PSE.
I took one of these photos like this and adjusted it in LR. The first thing I noticed is that LR does not have any skew capabilities. It can't correct for more than relatively simple vertical and horizontal distortion. That's disappointing because I don't really want to export my file as TIFF, import it into PSE, then convert it to 8 bits (my version of PSE won't do camera distortion or stretch/skew adjustment on 16-bit images), adjust it, then export it back out to my TIFF file, then import that file back into LR.
The other oddity I've noticed is that the vertical perspective correction in LR tends to stretch things vertically when large amounts of vertical perspective correction are applied. What happens then is that an old style courthouse which has a a smaller dome on the top, the smaller dome gets stretched vertically and becomes more "skinny" - taller and thinner. So the vertical distortion correction, in large amounts, just introduces more vertical distortion by vertically stretching the image. PSE, on the othe rhand, corrects the vertical distortion but does not change the proportions of the subject significantly - no vertical stretching.
1) why does LR offer perspective and horizonal corrections but not distortion controls like skew?
2) why does LR vertically stretch my subject when I use a lot of vertical distortion adjustment when PSE does not, and what (if anything) can I do about it?
I'm trying to export my corrected files as DNG's with the corrections from LR 4.3 but it does not seem to apply those corrections. If I open up the exported DNG into a new LR catalog, the new catalog does not pick up those corrections!

View 2 Replies View Relatedif it's possible to set a default to "on" for the Enable Profile Corrections, and Remove Chromatic Abberation options in the basic panel under "Lens Corrections" in Lightroom 5, ?
And if not - can I make a plea to whoever decides these things that it really would be VERY useful to have it.
So, I've recently purchased Lightroom and love it. Only problem is adding lens profile to each photo. I worked out there is a bulk setting, but I use multiple Canon lenses, the 24-105, the 70-200 and 60mm Macro. If I apply lens correction in bulk to all images it will go by what's on the first image. Say for example the first image was taken with the 60mm it will apply that correction to all photos despite what lens they were taken with.
I went through the rest and unticked and reticked Canon and it selected the correct lens this time, but not in bulk. What is the correct way to set this to happen in bulk or is it not possible?
I have been using LR5.2 successfully for a few months now but all of a sudden I cannot see the basic settings in the Development Module. Specifically, I am not able to change Color Temperature, exposure, recovery, Clarity (very important to me), etc. I shoot RAW 100%, so I wonder if i accidentally hit some wrong key to make those basic features hidden?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just started using LR4.3. After importing about 1000 photos and establishing my collections of chosen images, I noticed that every image had the same settings already in the Basic panel. These are temp:5500, tint:4, exposure .28, contrast: 24 and Vibrance: 6. All other settings are 0 or some other LR default. I do not recall telling LR to do this on import, and in fact, don't know how to do that. Am I forgetting that I did that? Also, I set preferences to use the default specific to my camera serial number. MIght LR be making these settings based on that selection?
