Lightroom :: History Deletes Itself When Lrcats Are Combined

Dec 9, 2011

I have been combining several Lightroom catalalogs into one using "Import from Catalog" from the Master Cat, and the process has worked smoothly for the most part. The one problem I am running into is that changes I made in the develop module in previous libraries before they were imported into the Master Catalog show changes in the develop module, but not in history, making it impossible to go back to the original image, or to track changes made in my previous smaller libraries. I often use Lightroom while traveling so that I can organize and touch up on the go, but when I return home I want to be able to combine these photos and edit them seamlessly, and this isa  giant hiccup in my workflow.

I can only see how to delete the entire history in the history panel. Is there a way I can remove only selected states? I am using LR 1.4.

Lightroom :: Inadvertently Combined Two Different Cameras Same Date Folders?

Jan 23, 2012

I accidentally combined my Canon 30D 2011-12 folder with my Hp 850 2011-12 folder, now one camera's images show missing, and so does the folder for the missing images. Since they have all been keyworded and developed, how can I recover the appropriate ones back into the right missing folder?

Lightroom :: 5 - Mac / Moving Folder Deletes Photos

Aug 8, 2013

I am using the latest (stable) version of LR5 on a up to date iMac. I was moving my photos (that is - the top level folders) from one drive to another in LR. After a while LR shows the error message saying the files couldn't be found. When checking in Finder I see the folder structure gets duplicated at the new location, the original folders are empty though and I can find the photos in trash.

Photoshop :: Couldn't Use History Brush Because History State Doesn't Have A Corresponding Layer

Aug 20, 2013

I am trying to learn layers and layer masks.  I loaded an image, than control J to duplicate it.  I then added a layer mask.  Everything good so far.  I then went to filters chose a blur.  Then went to brushes with black as my foreground color, I just wanted to brush away the blur, and got an error message. "could not use the history brush because the history state does not have a corresponding layer."

Photoshop :: Could Not Use History Brush - History State Lacks Corresponding Channel - CS6?

Mar 24, 2013

Everytime 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

Lightroom :: Brush Name In History Panel?

Oct 12, 2013

I 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.

Lightroom :: Copy Part Of History?

Sep 28, 2013

Using Lightroom 5 I made several changes to a photo.  One of the first changes I made was to crop.  I now find I cropped too much.  Is there a way to copy or save the several correct changes and redo the crop?  Is there a way to start a new copy of the photo with some of the changes from the first copy?

Lightroom :: 3.4.1 - History Missing After Repair

Jan 7, 2012

I 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, 2013

I 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, 2013

LR5 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, 2012

For 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.

Lightroom :: 5 History And Interface With Photoshop CC?

Dec 10, 2013

I 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 :: 4 - How To Export Files As RAW / DNG With History

Jun 9, 2012

Say 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 :: 4 - How To Find Images Preset History

Nov 28, 2012

I am using Lightroom 4 and developed a picture in it last week.  I saved the picture onto my desktop and sent it to my client.  She loved the way it looked and wants other pictures to look the same way (tone/cold color, etc).  I did not save the history as a preset before I exported it out.  How can I get the history back from when I worked on it last week?  Is it stored in the pictures data somewhere or do I have to try and recreate the image adjustments??

Lightroom :: Missing History Of Adjustments After Importing?

Jan 12, 2012

I have installed the new Beta for Lightroom 4. It is unable to use or import from the existing LR3 catalog so I've had to create a new one.
 
Aalthough the most recent adjustments have been applied, I've lost the history and also attributes such as flags and ratings. This also happens when in LR3 I've imported images from aother LR catalog.
 
No one seems to understand what I mean but I can't explain it any more clearly!
 
I would like to find a way to restore the history or record of adjustments for each image. They must be saved somewhere as LR3 had them.

Lightroom :: Removing Reset On History Stack?

Jun 22, 2013

I'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.

Lightroom :: Virtual Copy With Detail Of History

Apr 1, 2009

Is it possible to make a VC where the copy hase the detail of the changes made to the original.

Currently, all the changes are in the copy, but the detailed history of changes is not there. This precludes making the same backward steps that one could do with the original.

I am trying to edit the history after making some changes in Develop.

I have highlighted the last (ie top) entry in "history" and used CTRL and Z.

I get the "undo" message on the screen.

However, the bit of history I am trying to get rid of stays there.

It was working fine yesterday.

Lightroom :: Missing Catalogs And Editing History On Transfer From PC To Mac?

Jul 17, 2012

I know there was a recent issue on this, but I have the same problem but it seems not the same solution. I've transferred from PC to Mac, installed LR4, copied across my catalogue and preview files. I've imported my images (though should I have needed to do this if the catalog and preview were already there?) from the NAS where they live. The images are there, my keywords are there, but not the editing history and collections, which I really need.

Lightroom :: Upgraded 4.2 - Edit In External Now Loses History

Oct 10, 2012

Updated to LR 4.2, then when switching to 'edit in' Photoshop CS5 getting "This version of Lightroom may require photoshop camera raw plug-in version 7.2". However, checking for updates in Photoshop CS5 says all up to date as does LR. In the dialog I would say 'Open Anyway' and at some point I must have clicked the button to no longer show this message.
 
Now when I 'edit in' PS and come back to LR there is no entry in History, it's blank. In the past I would see one entry 'edited in PS' and then make further LR edits from there if needed. What happens now if I make an edit in LR I can't 'Reset' back to the original 'edited in PS' to start over because that doesn't exist in History. If I reset it will reset just above the last LR edit. This is awaful and has screwed up my workflow. It's damaged several PS -> LR edited images.
 
After LR 4.2 upgrade LR still showed an older version of RAW. Somewhere after I unchecked that box to stop the message, now when I look it says Camera Raw 7.2 even though I didn't do any further updates, and both LR and CS5 had reported they were up to date.
 
EDIT/UPDATE: I just found 'Reset all dialog boxes' in LR preferences and now I get the message again. It appears before I checked the box 'Don't show again' the last time I also clicked 'Render using Lightroom' rather than 'Open Anyway' which I was doing before that.
 
Now PS CS5 About -> Plug-in - Camera Raw is 6.7.0.339 and Lightroom 4.2 is Camera Raw 7.2 (?)
 
Windows 7 64 bit | LR 4.2 | PS CS5

Lightroom :: Recover Erased Photos Or Find History Of Changes?

Oct 20, 2012

I used Dup Finder (plugin) to  find duplicate pictures in my LR catalog.  I then erased them through Lightroom.  what I didn't realize is that Dup Finder puts both the otiginal file and the duplicate in a smart collection.  I errased everything from that folder, so now I have missing photos and I don't know all the file names.  Is there any way to recover these photos or at the very least find a history of changed to a catalog or collection (I have online backups of my photos, so if I know the file name, I can get them).
