Lightroom :: Creating 300 BW Versions Of Processed Colour Images
May 25, 2013
I've selected around 300 images from an intial shoot of 1200. I've assigned a star to the selected 300 and developed a colour image of each. Now, I need to make a BW version of each of the 300 images
What is the simplest way to do this? I have tried to make virtual copies of the selected 300 and assign 2 stars to enable me to keep the original 300 in colour and work on the soon to be BW versions, but when I do this I can only make a single virtual copy at a time. I'm sure it must be possible to select all 300 at once, and make 300 virtual copies somehow.
Is there a simple video demonstrating this workflow somewhere?
I recently conducted a test on some RAW image files that I processed into maximum file size JPEGs, both through Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom's Export. The Lightroom version of the same image was nearly twice the size.
From the release notes: "Catalog containing images processed with PV2003 were adding a post-crop vignette when catalog upgraded to Lightroom 5"
Does that mean all my PV2003 images (10,000+) now have a post-crop vignette included in their edit history? Or some? Or some special combination? I converted my v4.4 catalog a couple of days after v5.0 was released, so I really don't want to go back to my old v4.4 catalog and re-convert..
I am trying to create colour samples of vector objects which I have initially drawn in a Purple shade card. Now I would like to have the same object in a blue shadecard and then a green shade card maintaining relationships between the colours in the different parts of the object.
I'm using LR 3.x and when I export a group of files, the preview tiles (not the image itself) are sometime half grey, like they didn't fully get processed. I usually delete them and re-export the problem file.
I am using Lighroom 4. When I tried to export post-processed files (from NEF) to photoshop, I am getting an error (see the attachment below).
The problem has to do with missing Camera Raw 7.0. When I checked CS5 Photoshop, ACR 6.6 was installed. . When I checked Adobe webisite today, the most updated ACR is v. 6.6. How can I fix this error?
I uploaded some mono images from my Canon EOS5D(2) taken with an orange filter. Previous uploads have been fine. This time, after showing the mono images in the catalogue they all convert spontaneously to orange images of various shades - and the images also show colours. The camera setting was correct, on checking, for mono uploads and, in any case, never a problem before. What have I done wrongly - and is there any rescue? Lightroom is v2.7.
I've recently received a small batch of calendars from a local commercial printers. The colours are OK, but do not match the originals, especially the blue's. I've had similar problems with greetings cards from a different printer. The problem appears to be that I supply the original files in the RGB color space, but they print using CMYK.
I Raw process using Lightroom 4, with adjustments if necessary being made using Elements 10. To the best of my knowledge neither of these programs have the option of editing or saving in the CMYK color space. For more accurate colours is my only option to purchase the full version of Photoshop (CS6 or CC), then convert and colour correct my images in CMYK mode before sending to the printers ?.
Can prior versions of inventor access current versions of vault?As in, can Inventor 2010 access vault 2013? Or does it have inventor 2013 and vault 2013?
I have created a couple of collections but when I go into slide show the images are not visible for creating a slide show. Works ok with some collections but not all. Presumably there is a linkage problem. Using v4.4 on a Mac.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create smart previews for images that were imported into the catalog in a prior version of LR. As my catalog continues to increase in size, I'm considering relocating my images to an external drive (currently on the hard drive). I'm obviously concerned about doing any unintended damage to the catalog and workflow.
have never discovered an answer to this one. currently using LR4 and have previously used LR2 and 3 with the same issue.
my PP workflow is essensially for the web, so I save images at 72ppi for web viewing and yet when I create a web gallery with LR it converts each image to a print resolution of 240dpi.
that's right. changes from ppi to dpi. go figure.
even if ppi (points per inch) is exactly the same as dpi (dots per inch), why the heck is LR making the change and how can I prevent that change from occuring?
I have photographed some colour negatives in RAW. Any outline of a process as to how to convert these to positives using Lightroom v5. I have tried and failed!
I recently purchased Lightroom 5 and have updated to 5.2. I did my first import from a file folder to the catologue. I noticed that all my .awr files imported and any edited .jpg imported, but the original .jpg would not import if there was a corresponding .awr file. I'm not sure how to fix this. I would like all my photos imported.
The workflow seems pretty intuitive. There's one area that I can't figure out though and that's how to keep track of different versions of the same image.I have a number of images that are the same "base" image but in different formats (and folders), say a RAW file and a JPEG. Is there a way to link or track those two images in Lightroom so if I make changes to one image (adding keywords, for example) the changes are made to the other automatically?
My desktop at home is a Mac 10.5 so I'm using LR3. I just bought a new MacBook Air and I've installed LR4 on it. Is it possible to work on a single dropbox-saved project from both Macs?
I have used the 30 day LR5 trial and I don't love it and prefer LR3 that I have been using for the past few years. I've created some libraries though, and want to know how I can view them if I return to using LR3 after the trial.
I didn't import the images to Lightroom, rather, I referenced them on my HD.
Do I need to export them as an older version? Or save the images in another format?
I have 4 different Export Presets, each one exports the selected photos with specific names and specific properties.I want to export five photos, and I want to make four versions for each photo, each version being defined by a different preset.
Is it possible that on the first three presets, I could configure them with an export action that will initiate the next preset export?I export with preset one, which has an export action that starts an export of the same files, using preset 2, until preset 4 which will not have an export action.
After using "edit in" to take an image from LR3 to CS5, I would then save the edited image by "save as" then add -1 for an edited version, -2 for b&w, -3 for a funky edit, etc. (i.e. name-1 or name-2 would be typical file names) They would all save to lightroom. However, since I upgraded to LR4, I can't do that anymore or it doesn't save the image in LR. This has thrown my whole workflow out of whack - especially since I want to use the album module and need those versions of the images for the album.
Not sure if it's a setting I'm missing, a workflow gaffe, or a feature that is simply absent. I would like new/multiple versions of a file to be persistent across multiple collections. It is not inconceivable to have an image in more than one collection; something could be in a Landscape collection, Portfolio collection, Blog Postings, and so forth. Unfortunately, it seems that if I export a file to edit in Photoshop (or any external application) it will only stack with the image in the collection from which it was sent. It will not show in any other collections so they would not include the current version of a file unless manually added.
there was one photographer who's style always looked really cool to me but I could never duplicate so I thought maybe someone here could figure it out.
I notice that the shadows are pretty blue and the highlights a lot more yellow,
I have seen photos where the background is black. Is it possible to do this with Photo Pro X3 Ultimate? If so, how? I'm retired (read as "older" and not as sharp as a younger person) and new at digital photography.
As I have done for years I shoot in RAW and use Nikon transfer to load images from the card to my laptop and external drive. AFter I sort the images by subject I import them to Lightroom for the final touches. Not so with Lightroom 4.2 and Nikon D600..Adobe says if yousue transfer than 4.2 will not recognize the files and too bad ...as a company they are going downhill..I hope they correct the problem so I can import the 1500 images into Lightroom for final conversions.
I just noticed that some of my photos are missing from the library in lightroom, specifically the original versions of photos that have virtual copies edited in photoshop in folders that have since been synchronized. Weird, and very anoying. The files are still there (in wondows explorer) but when I try to re-import them lightroom doesn't see them, only the PS edited copies (.tif files). I told lightroom to allow duplicates and it sees all the photos in the folder except those missing ones. This does not happen to my PS edited virtual copies in folders that have not been synchronized. It is not a matter of stacking, or at least Lightroom does not think the PS copies are stacked at all so I can't unstack them. How to get them back into lightroom (preferably with the accompanying development settings) and also how to avoid this problem in the future.
PS: I import files from my camcorder using a different program because lightroom does not acknowledge that particular video file format. That's why I have to synchronize some folders and not others.
Adobe has stated that Photoshop CC users will have access to all files saved on their computers.What will be the functionality of files processed with Photoshop CC and saved on my computer if I no longer subscribe to Photoshop CC?
Adobe will introduce new functions such as Camera Shake Reduction to Photoshop CC. Let's say that I use a new function on a layer or as a Smart Object, and then save it on my computer, and then end my subscription to Photoshop CC. Will I be able to open the file with my layers intact and editable in any program other than Photoshop CC?
If I save the files with the layers merged as TIFFs or JPEGs I assume that I will be able to open them with most photo programs. Let's say that I do not save merged files and I am willing to sacrifice the layers. Will Photoshop CC be required to merge the layers and save as files that can be edited in other programs? What happens with other file types such as PSDs?
Let's say I own CS6 or previous versions with perpetual licenses. Will I be able to open and edit files in CS6 with layers created in Photoshop CC?
Corel VideoStudio Pro has the ability to apply multiple filters to a video. There are buttons to change the order of a filter. However, it's not clear to me which order they are applied to the video clip.
Are the filters applied from the top of the list down or layered on top of each other from the bottom of the list up?
