The histograms on the library panel and on the develop panel are not same for most of the images, there is a tiny difference between them. What is the reason for this difference?
View 6 RepliesWhy is the histogram displayed in the Levels dialog box different (sometimes radically different) than the one in Image>Histogram?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am on OSX using Photoshop CS6.
For a couple months now I have experienced the "Building Histograms" dialog appearing on nearly every move or action; moving an object, adjusting a shape, zooming in & out, simply selecting an object.
The building of the histograms almost always takes up to 10+ seconds to complete.
I have followed other topics where there was no solid professional answer to the problem. The closest thing everyone was able to pin it on was the use of an extension or add-on. I have none of these.
In my opinion an update / fix should be applied for this. I won't be interested in further debugging or providing information. Simply stating that I am experiencing this for history sake.
In the histogram palette menu there are red, green and blue histograms to give the saturation of those colors, and a luminosity histogram to give the overall ( greyscale) brightness. There is also an RGB option, presumably to give a composite version of the red, green and blue saturation. In Levels, however we have the same thing, except there is no luminosity option, only RGB. But RGB in this case cannot be a composite of the three color channels, as we use it to adjust brightness and contrast; in other words it is presumably the same as Luminosity in the histogram palette. Despite this, when I do adjustments to an image the RGB histogram in Levels looks identical to the RGB histogram in the histogram palette. I'm using PS 3 Extended.

I am working in Photoshop CS5 on a MacPro with Snow Leopard, 10.6.4. I have a file that is a little over a gigabyte open. Every time I make any changes to the file (i.e. select a different layers, grab the text tool, etc.) a menu pops up with a progress bar and says it is building the histgrams.
This process happens with EVERY move. As you can imagine, this has slowed my productivity down to a crawl. Can I do anything to make it stop rebuilding the histograms at every step?
Photoshop creates several preview images (more smaller than the original) for displaying the effects and creating histograms. So, I think that if I choose the cache level as 1 in the preference window, Photoshop does not create any smaller preview and it always displays information according to the original file.
But, this is not the case, as far as I can see. I set my cache level to 1 and it still displays histogram for cache level 3. So, my question is ... what is the secret behind the cache level?
Just installed Lightroom 4, more than 60000 images were imported. Many of them were duplicates, triplets and so on. I want to have a clean, unincombured library. Should I delete the 60000 images and reinstall the images from my photo digital cards or use the slow process of "X" out the unwanted images? I would like to start improving my images vs removing the unwanted images.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems selecting images in the library module when multiple images are in view (not down in the timeline, but in the main window). It seems sporadic with which ones it won't let me select, it somehow manages to be the ones that I need to click....!! I just literally can't click it as if it were an image I already imported or something, but it's not grayed out like that. I've been having to select a nearby image then use my arrow keys to navigate to and click the image I need.
View 2 Replies View RelatedLightroom will not display preview images during import of raw images. Any images in other formats display fine but with raw images I get a gray window the size of the preview image and the words "preview unavailable for this file".
Running Windows XP 64, Lightroom 3.3.
In Lightroom 4.1 when rating (flags, stars or colors) a selected group of images all images selected will have the same flag applied. For instance if I select 10 images to view in the survey mode to compare and select 1 to be flagged as rejected all 10 will be flagged rejected, not just the one. Is there a way to turn this off to select a group of images and flag each differently?

View 12 Replies View RelatedTrying out Lightroom 5.2 for first time. Installed without incident, 64 bit windows 7. Imported 60 images from a folder and they all imported without a hitch, but I can't see them, all the squares are blank but the file meta data is there so they imported.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've watched all of the tutorials and read all I can to get to the bottom of this to no avail. I understand that I need to use the foilders panel in the library module to move photos, my problem is that the folder module does not show any destination folders at all!
When I import my images I create a job and place the images in a subfolder named Raw Files eg. 2013 Jobs > 075 Robert and Jess E-Shoot > Raw Files
This way all of my images are in a folder that is job related. Occasionally, however, I will forget to change the import folder when importing the Raws, and the images for the next job will go into the Raw folder for the previous job. I'd like to be able to move the raw images to the correct folder, but in the folder panel the only path showing is the path I've imported to.
In the case above, my 2013 Jobs file should show 75 subfolders of individual jobs, but there is only one showing. I need to be able to see the destination folder in lightroom to move the Raws to their proper home. As I can't see the destination folder I can't move any files, and I end up having to try to work it out in the operating system.
how to get all of the subfolders to show?
Have folders on desktop, images are in them. In import module, LR says the folders are empty and I can not import them. I recently had hard disc problem, have new disc, latest version Mac OS, restored all images from backup LR sees images that were imported before the disc replacement but now won't see new folders.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a big collection of scanned photos many of which are in b&w. Unfortunately they have not all been tagged, so now I'm looking for an easy way of finding all my b&w images.
Can this be done in LR?
I have downloaded LR5 Upgrade onto my PC (Windows 7). The LR5 new features work. So far the program is working as expected, except that when an image is deleted using LR5, the image disappears from LR5 and appears in the recycle bin as it should, but it does not disappear from my Canon DPP program. LR3 is still on the computer and when an image was deleted using LR3, it always disappeared from both LR3 and Canon DPP. Why won't a deletion with LR5 take the image out of Canon DPP ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the preference set to keep 1:1 cache files for 30 days, and the max cache size is set to 30gb. The cache file has never yet approached this size. I've gone through the trouble of having LR work in the background to create previews for whole collections. After this process, performance is as snappy as I'd expect; images load immediately and there's no more than a one second lag when zooming in to 1:1. But hours or days later, on the same collections, when there has been no change made to the files, everything slows down. The wheels spin as LR loads each image preview, even at reduced fit-to-screen size. Processor utilization zooms to near 100% during these loads, so it seems LR is rendering the views all over again.
What happened to my cached previews?
Running a mac pro, 8 core xeon 2.8ghz, 18gb ram, 3tb 7200rpm data drive that's about 10% full.
The delay happens when in develop mode. In Library mode the pre-made previews are available and load instantly. Is this just the way things are?
I have just purchased a Canon 5D Mark III. I have Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4. I have tried to import RAW images, but neither of the Lightrooms will import the images. Do I need a plug in or update?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to geotag 73 images. I have them highlighed and I search on the map for the required location (Galway Ireland). When I drag the images across the map, it changes to another location (Tipperary Ireland) with the marker showing "68". I have previously tagged some images in that location.
How to correct it. I have a deadline looming and time is ticking away while I struggling with the new technology!
It's not a long way to Tipperary from where I am - but it could be a long time before I geotag these images!
I'm finding the LR4 is (generally speaking) over exposing RAW (.nef) images by anything between 1 to 2 stops.
My .nef files are from a Nikon D3 and the 'Lens Correction' delelope module in LR4 has been set up for my camera and lenses and the Camera Calibration module is set up for 2012 (Current).
My continuing story of space issues. Find that I'm rapidly running out of space now that my wife has been uploading way too many 24 mpixel files (~30Gb total) to my Lightroom 5 catalog. Is there any way to export her RAW files to a thumb drive or another external hard drive? The only export functions I see are conversions to Jpegs.

For example: We have an image in three versions (rgb, cmyk, gray). If I find one of these, I would like to klick on a button like "show correspondend images". So I can see all versions of this images we ever saved.
I have recently installed Lightroom 3 on a different computer and am unable to see the images that are imported.Currently I am seeing them as gray boxes with no image viewable. They are not showing as a broken image or link missing.
