Thin black branches against a blue sky are always problematic. Problematic for Lightroom, that is. The jpegs straight out of my D5100 totally eliminate all CA and purple fringing, so I know it can be done. It's just that no matter how I play with the "Defringe" sliders I cannot eliminate the bluish case on the branches. I go back and forth between my attempts in LR4.4 to my jpeg of the same scene and the jpeg handles it perfectly.
"Remove Chromatic Aberration" box is checked. Is it maybe a fact of life that Lightroom 4.4 just doesn't handle nefs as well as maybe Canon raws?
My workflow is such that I have to work on a ton of images at one time, so I have a "prest upon import" set up. Then I export as tiffs. So I'd like to keep all the tweaking in Lightroom for efficiency's sake. Very few of my images actually have this "problem" but in a video tutorial on the use of these sliders the commentator mentioned that the submittal of images to a client (magazine, whatever) requires that all CA/defringing to be totally done or you'd look like an amateur. All his video did was get close, just like my attempts just get me closer but nowhere as good as the SOOC jpegs do.
I have noticed that when I create animations in Photoshop/ImageReady they have this tattered white fringe around them. It shows up really bad when I display them against a white background.
Is there any way that I can defringe my animations? I know this can be done in Photoshop, however, in ImageReady there is no defringe feature. More accurately quoted, "If there is one it is not in the same location as Photoshop's."
I'm trying to select blue text antialiased against a yellow background, then display it against an orange background. I've tried various combinations of making an antialiased selection with the magic wand and then using the defringe command, but the result never turns out well.
Since the colors are fairly pure, is there some clever way to use the channel mixer or something to subtract out the yellow layer from the blue?
I have a shoot next week that I want to use tethering from my Nikon to LR. Is there a way to get one of the camera profiles and the lens profile to be automatically assigned as I shoot and LR imports?
This will get me close enough for the client to preview.
i have a file that scrambles on import. I can see it fine as a preview and i can open it in Nikon View NX but I cannot import it into Lightroom without it becoming scrambled.
I did a search and couldn't find this issue listed. I convert my Nikon D90 raw files to DNG. Never seem to have a problem with that except that the display(s) seldom shows the results of applying Noise Reduction (Color or Luminance). If my display is at Fit or Fill I don't see the results of what I am doing. If I zoom in to 1:1 or more, then I can see the results. All works fine if I am using a jpg file, it is just the DNG files that do this.
If I want to see the entire picture with Noise Reduction applied I have to switch to the Library Module. Then when I go back to the Develop module the main display goes back to not showing the Noise Reduction, but the secondary display is ok until I apply another effect then boom, back to Noise Reduction not displaying. All of the other changes I make work just fine. It is just the Noise Reduction that causes the problem. This is really a killer when I am working on photos. This problem existsed before 3.6. When I switch to the Library Module it takes a few seconds before the secondary display shows the photo with the Noise Reduction applied.
I have a quad core 2.4ghz with 8gig of ram and Windows 7 Pro 64bit OS. Plenty of CPU and memory available.
By reading comments herein, one is led to believe that LR 5.3 provides tethered capture support for the Nikon D-610. Well, I have a MacBook Pro and OSX, and beg to differ. I cannot, for the life of me, get LR 5.3 to recognize my D-610.
what steps I need to take to get the software to recognize the camera?
If this camera is not supported, when will the D-610 be added? LR 5.3 already supports the 610's predecessor, the D-600; this camera had such a serious dust/sensor problem that Nikon quickly introduced the 610, which is virtually identical but without the sensor problem.
I just noticed that I can no longer import .MOV files from my Nikon D800 into Lightroom 5. I am running on Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a Macbook Pro, LIghtroom 5.0, Camera Raw 8.1. I plug the camera into the USB port of my macbook pro (don't have a SD slot on my macbook pro)
When I click import in Lightroom the .MOV files don't even show up at all in the import dialog.
When I tried to import video from my iPhone 5, they showed up on the import screen and I was able to succesfully import them.
Lightroom does not seem to recognize my Nikon D7000. I connect the camera, open LR, and nothing happens. I can click Import, but it doesn't recognize the device. The D7000 comes with Nikon's ViewNX2 software which they want you to use for import. Do I really need to use that to import photos from the camera, then import them from ViewNX2 into LR? That seems like a pain. I just upgraded to LR 3.6
could you maybe add support for the Nikon 24-85 f2.8-4 D lens in combination with the D600 to LR4 or LR5 ?
I know it is an older lens, but reviews show that it is a very good lens, and I would like to confirm this from personal experience. Its successor was apparently discontinued but still seems to be supported in LR, just like the kit lens, but according to reviews the f2.8-4 D is a better zoom lens for the D600, providing excellent optical quality combined with fairly small dimensions and low weight. So I assume it would be an interesting lens for many Nikon users.
I have been using Lightroom 3 since 2011 and haven't had any trouble importing Nikon NEF files until today when I got an error message saying, "The follwing files were not imported because they could not be read." I tried importing from several different CF cards so I don't think they are the problem. And I'm using a D700 which is supported by LR3. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling LR like some have suggested but I'm still getting the same error message.
I cannot import from my Nikon D300 memory cards, into LR 5.3. I've tried different cards, different cameras, and two different computers with . I've tried restarting both the app and the computers. I've also verified the OS 10.9 hard drive and repaired permission. Still won't import images.
I'm noticing that when I convert a RAW file (NEF for Nikon) in LR4.3 to a JPG, it doesn't contain the number of shutter actuations. For that, I need to use ViewNX. Is there anyway to preserve/extract this bit of EXIF information in Lightroom 4.3?
I'm seeing this EXIF plugin that might do the trick...?[UR]...
I am doing some editing work for a magazine. The lead editor had issues with adobe camera raw viewing some of my edits. The xmp files are there but for some reason they are not loading. We narrowed it down to just the Nikon D4 files. I just had her download a trial version of LR4 and we are getting the same issue. The xmp's are there in the same folder as the .nef files. Import into Lightroom, and all D4 files do not show my edits.
We are both running Lightroom 4.3, Camera Raw 7.3.
