Lightroom :: 4 - How To Export Files As RAW / DNG With History
Jun 9, 2012Say I have a file with the following history:
Export
Crop
White Balance: Custom
Auto-Tone
Import
If I then import the exported file, the copy has all the changes but none of the history. If I don't like the crop or any of the other previous changes, I can't revert back to the original file. How do I go about exporting file history?
Lightroom :: How To Save Edit History When Moving Files
Oct 13, 2013How can I move pictures without losing history (exposure changes, crop changes, etc)? I have LR4 and am using DNG files. No matter how I move files (move the folder within LR, move the folder than then re-sync in LR, etc) it always loses the History. I've searched and have found numerous "tutorials" on how to properly move files but can't seem to be able to keep the History along with it (I get the last state of the image, but not the actual history itself).

Jan 27, 2013I bought a new computer and am trying to transfer my files from the old computer to the new one. I thought I had it done right, brought the photos into the new computer, and then started working away. I have now discovered, none of my .jpg photos brought over the changes made. For instance, if I go into the Develop mode, all controls are set to "0". I revisited the old computer, and they are not all set to "0" there. What have I done and how do I correct this? I'll never change computers again with Lightroom.

Jun 24, 2013I have a lot of photographs in Lightroom 4 on my laptop. All are DNG and tagged with keywords and caption added to each image. When I move these to Lightroom 4 on another computer keywords and captions are lost when I view the images in LR4. I thought keywords and caption were stored in the DNG-file. How do I move the files to another computer without losing keywords and captions?
View 3 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Using Another Computer To Access A Catalog Or Files?
Aug 3, 2013I have LR installed on my MacPro and the Mac just died (graphics card issues). I'm going to just buy a new Mac, though I'm trying to figure out the best way to access everything in LR until then. All of the images and photos are stored on a separate internal drive that I can take out and access via a docking station.
1. Does the license for LR allow me to install a 2nd copy on my Mac notebook?
2. If I place a copy of the LR catalog file on my Mac notebook and plug the photos/videos drive into a docking station connected to my notebook, will everything open up?
Lightroom :: DNG Files Did Not Transfer Properly Into New Computer?
Jan 10, 2014On December 19th, I just went to Mac from Windows. Bought a new computer (OS X) and transfered files from an external hard drive. I did not do the stardard catalog transfer and had many pictures I wanted to delete, so I transferred the old pictures through the "Another Catalog" feature import. So far so good. All worked very well for 2 years worth of pictures... while I was transferring CR2 files. Did not lose any images until I hit the following snag.
I was still on the old Windows pc on December 11th when I decided to start using DNG files and started using "Copy as DNG" option for import. On December 19th I received the new computer and started the transfer process.
The DNG files (Copy as DNG) which I started using on Dec 11th did not transfer, not one image. I lost all the information for these files. The actual DNG file is fine, but all the catalog information with all the adjustments do not transfer as the CR2 files did. At first I just got an error message when I transferred the images... saying error occured. I did not know why the transfer was not happening, and on further investigation I realized that the correct transfer stopped on Dec 11th. That is when I realized it must have been because of the DNG "new" file format. I decided to just transfer one image at a time to see exactly what would happen and Lightroom5 said "the original file is not available". I then realized that when I transferred the images from Dec 11 thru Dec 19th I COPIED them from the external drive as "Copy as DNG"... which means that I was trying to transfer and copy as DNG a file that was already copied as DNG. I made this error because I had just started using that feature and did not remember to switch to just "copy" for the transfer for those dates. Could this error have caused the non-transfer of the files for those dates?
Bottom line is that I have lost all the work for that one week which included a number of images.
When I open the old catalog I see the image information but a blank space for the missing images... right next to each image it is the DNG raw file..side by side. I cannot get the old catalog to recognize the individual catalog information for each image I worked on.
My question is... can anything be done to recover that information. Missing photographs is not the problem. It appears either my error of double copy of DNG format is the issue OR I had set the preferences incorrectly somewhere. I am aware that I could have embedded the RAW file information into the DNG file, but this was not checked off in the preference menu. Could there be any comparability issues between OS X and Windows? I do not think this is the problem but just putting it out there. My greatest fear is thinking I am using DNG incorrectly and will lose everything again in the future.
BTW, the original CR2 files are not avalable to me any more... computer hard drive was erased as it appeared all the information had backed up properly. And the backup files on the external hard drives are DNG format. So no CR2 files are available at all.
Lightroom :: Transferring Files To Computer (OSX - Snow Leopard) Via USB Cable
May 3, 2012Nikon D800 + LR4 import problem with dual card system:
I am transferring files to my computer (OSX, snow leopard) via USB cable. I am using dual card system with my camera: CF and SD. I am using the "backup" option which means that the content of both memory cards is identical. NEF + NEF with identical file names.
When the camera is connected to the computer and LR4 "import" is opened, LR4 does not show "D800 1" or "D800 2" -- it shows only "D800". This means that I cannot select a card which I would like to import the files from (like I can do with D700 or D3). And most of all, LR4 reacts inconsistently on "Don't import suspected duplicates". Usually, it wants to import all images on both cards -- this means that all files would be imported twice.
At the moment, in my D800, I have SD and CF with 3 identical NEF files on both cards. "Don't import suspected duplicates" is selected. In the import window I can see that LR4 wants to import 5 files: 0474+0474 (duplicates), 0475, 0476+0476 (duplicates). So, out from 6 images it recognizes that there is a one duplicate about to be imported, but those two others are not duplicates?
Lightroom :: How To Edit Files Remotely And Separate From Host Computer
Jun 10, 2013I understand how Smart Previews work. What I'm unsure of is...will we be able to edit these files remotely, separate from the host computer? For example, I'm an image editor and I live 500 miles away from the photographer that I work for. Can they (the photographer) download the images after shooting, create Smart Previews then send me the 'Smart Preview' folder of images, I edited them on my own computer then return the Smart Previews back to them fully edited?

Mar 24, 2013Everytime I try to use my history brush, that error pops up and I have no clue why. If I try to just open a blank document and use the brush it does not give me this error and I can "use" the brush but you cant see anything on the project.
so when this error happens im trying to do a project and say I place a file(picture) into the project and this is the very first thing I do. I place it, then I size the image down some. I then make a new layer to use the brush for behind the picture and then this is when I get the error. I have no clue what is wrong
Photoshop :: Can't Close Files Or Quit CC - Also Cannot Delete History States
Aug 1, 2013I having trouble with closing documents and even quitting Photoshop CC. I tried the menu, shortcuts and the close button on the document frame.
Photoshop reacts to the shortcut by marking "file"/"Photoshop" in the menu when i push command+w or commmand+q but nothing happens.
I have to force quit photoshop each time. All other buttons work exept when i try to delete history states in the history panel. Nothing happens when pushing the "delete current state" button.

Lightroom :: Brush Name In History Panel?
Oct 12, 2013I would like to know if there is a way to see the names of the brushes used in the History Panel?? All it says is "Add brush stroke" I that if you click on the brushes dots on the photo that you can see which brush is used, but I hate editing with those on, so I turn them off. Which means I have to do several clicks just to see what brushes I have already used. It would be so useful to just be able to see in my history which ones I used especially when you have to stop editing before you are totally finished with the photo and come back to it later.

Jan 7, 2012I am using Lightroom 3.4.1 and Windows 7. Upon shutting Lightroom down I got a message that Lightroom was unable to backup my catalog until it was repaired. When I reopened Lightroom it gave me the option to repair the catalog. The repair was "successful" and Lightroom opened as usual. However, the history panel of every single picture is blank BUT the pictures did retain my Lightroom changes. How to get that back? I do have a catalog backup but it does not include the work I just finished as I was shutting down Lightroom. I also have all my RAW files as well as their sidecar files.

Lightroom :: How To Move Develop History
Oct 19, 2013I know it's in my catalog in the back up, but is there an easier and less data heavy way to move this data?
I only ask before previous iterations of LR had the develop history in the XMP data but it's changed location. I hand off my edits to a supervisor who oversees the final pass before it reaches a client's hands and he like seeing my work progress and teaching small corrections (as to tune to his studio image standards). It hasn't been a problem for a long time but he recently found the lack of develop history.
Lightroom :: All History Steps Disappear
Sep 17, 2013LR5 Win7. I open a previously edited image in Develop module. I click on the first step of the history ("import...."). Immediately, all the history steps disappear, and a new step appears, "Post-crop vignette style: paint overlay." There are now just two steps in my history. When I try to click on the first/origial step, LR doesn't let me do that, it immediately jumps to (highlights) the "post-crop..." step. If I go to the Effects panel, the only option under style is "paint overlay." If I add a few more edits (change color, etc.) they work fine. But as soon as I click on the first history step, the same thing happens again.
Update as i work on this: if I click on ANY previous step in the history, LR adds the "Post-crop..." step at the top and does not then let me click on any previous step.
This does not happen with photos I have edited recently. It only happens with previously edited photos. I think it only happens with photos with 2003 or 2010 process, but it doesn't happen with all of them.
Then I tried opening one of these photos in the Develop module. I create a virtual copy, then go back to the original. I click on the first history step in the original, it does this strange thing described above. If I add more history steps to the original, then click on the first step, it also does this strange thing. However, if I add edits to the virtual copy, then click on the first step, it does not do this strange thing.
What I have tried:
-I have opened and restarted LR.
-I have gone back to a catalog from a few days previously and it exhibits the same behavior.
-I have tried updating the process before clicking on the earlier step, and this does not prevent the behavior.
I wanted to try to re-install LR, but when I try to download it, I get this message, "We're sorry, something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later."
Lightroom :: Sync History Movements
May 11, 2012For the second time, which is two times too many, I've found myself browsing through images and noticed they were all starting to change. Essentially I've apparently instigated a sync settings command to too many images and it wasn't immediately noticable when it happened so I couldn't just do a Ctrl-Z to undo it. I want to make sure I'm not missing something that would allow me to sync all selected images back a step in History. I would think this would be an easy enough feature to add to any version of Lightroom (using LR3 for now because I'm waiting for the LR4 I purchased to get an update that might speed it up). I've checked out auto script programs but they're a bit unweildy and frankly Lightroom should have that feature available.

Dec 10, 2013I understand Lightroom 5 does not change the original image; instead it maintains a delta-like file within its catalog. When, in Lightroom 5, I select 'edit in Photoshop CC' and make changes then return to Lightroom 5 does Lightroom 5 delta those changes in its catalog or is the original image replaced?.
Also, in Lightroom 5, when I go back using 'History' and find a version I like; how do I lock that in. That is how do I ignore/delete the most recent changes I no longer want?

Lightroom :: Removing Reset On History Stack?
Jun 22, 2013I'm using Lightroom 3.6
I have a large catalog of images I have touched up to prepare for use.
Today when I loaded the catalog, every image has a 'reset' at the top of this History stack. This is undoing all my modifications, but all the operations I did perform are still listed under that.I want to remove the 'reset' from the top of History of every image in this catalog so I get back to what I had already done.
