Lightroom :: How To Stop LR From Changing Setting / When Import
Oct 20, 2012
Whenever I import photos the exposure and other settings are changed. I have resete every default setting I can find for any kind of preset.I tried to uninstall by dragging to the trash can (Mac OS) and reinstalled to try and clear the issue. Not sure this was the correct process as it didn't seem to wipe everything out. Don't know what setting got changed along the way. Just trying to get everything back to default so that my photos aren't arent manipulated before I can even get them to the develop module.
When I import pictures from a memory card LR4.2 creates a new folder every day in the backup location.
Is there any way to stop this? I want all of the pictures to be copied to the directory I chose on the main and backup drives, it's a pain going to the backup and moving my pictures.
I have no import presets created (verified by the import screen saying "none" when importing), yet LR adds one (the same one) keyword to all photos imported. I have 4.1, but this has been happening in previous versions. How to stop this?? It is very time consuming to always have to remove this keyword.
I'm not sure what I did to make this happen or how to change it back, but for some reason when I change the size of an object/line it changes the stroke weight as well. (For example, if I drew an ellipse with stroke weight 2 pt, and then increased the size the stroke weight would be 2.856 pt or some such number instead of 2 pt.) How to change this back?
How do I stop LR5 from adding a dated sub folder every time I import photos. This just started and I can't find a way to turn this off. What ever date photo were taken LR makes a folder with that date when importing.
I just duplicated a bunch keywords upon importing a month worth of photos from a remote project. I assume this is because LR has no idea how to handle them other than importing them in a flattened state. I suggest a checkbox that tells LR whether or not to look for an existing keyword of the same spelling in its structures before creating another one. If it then finds multiples, it would be easy enough for it to figure out the correct keyword based on context.
I have many nested keywords and have found the nesting to be pretty much useless in the real world, but it is a great organizational tool. It allows about the same grouping functionality as collections but without the messy accumulation of collection names that were only used once.
For some reason there was a setting to eject the flash memory card after an import was completed that seemed to disappear in my version 4 Lightroom. Where that feature setting is located?
I am running out of hard drive space which is the source for importing my images into Lightroom 4.3. I have these images backed up on an external drive. I now want to use the external drive as my source of import. How do I do that. And then how to do I find the missing files in Lightroom?
Is it possible to make the program to stop rounding when I try to set the image size? I'm putting in a size that is like 4.569 and it rounds it to 4.57 and I don't want it to round it.
I just imported several photos into my catalog using a preset metadata import. After Import I edited all the photos and then was set to export. Unfortunately it was the wrong metadata preset and I want to change it on all my photos. Is there a way that I havent been able to find yet that would allow me to easily change over the metadata copyright info on all the photos without having to start all over again?
I have a problem with importing pictures from my Leica to LR3.
If the pic's are shot in black and white with the Leica preset, LR3 is changing them into colour images immediately after the import.The pic's are shot in RAW
I have a PDF underlay that is giving me some issues. I locked the layer and moved the pdf underlay's x-position to -1 and sent the drawing to the back to make sure it stays underneath all my lines, but annoyingly, everytime I draw something, it ends up *under* the PDF and I have to zoom out very far and selected the pdf to "send to back" again.
I am trying to set up auto importing by tethered shooting with a Canon 1Ds (but don't think brand and camera matter.)
I never use DNG, and am not aware of, and after a lot of searching, cannot find anywhere in the LR4.3 preferences at which I specified DNG conversion. In the Auto0Import dialog there is a File-handling tab that offers one choice: how to spell the dng suffix. The files I want to import will come in as CR2., and testing this with other folder destinations and with Canon's EOS Utility prove that the camera is "sending" CR2 files.
How can I stop changing active document? I was thinking I could use this, but I don't know how to cancel it in the event handler:
AcadApp.DocumentManager.DocumentToBeActivated += new DocumentCollectionEventHandler(DocumentManager_DocumentToBeActivated);static void DocumentManager_DocumentToBeActivated(object sender, DocumentCollectionEventArgs e){ // Messagebox to ask if user are sure bool AreYouSureYouWantToChangeActiveFile = MessageBox.... if(!AreYouSureYouWantToChangeActiveFile) //cancel change active file somehow...???}
Everytime I click on the sketch button/icon inventor changes my view and rotates / re-angles my view. When I'm make those narrow sketches inventor messes up my view.
How to stop this.. I'm guessing settings of course but which ones exactly if you've done this and what are the down sides to turning this off?
is there a way to stop ribbon from changing all those icons whenever you clicking on an object? because my computer at work is a bit slow and each click like that on a large civil 3d profile has a slight delay which that time adds up to reduced productivities. and i am clicking 500 times a day since there are 500 vertices to modifiy on say this alignment.
everytime you click on an object the ribbon changes which takes up cpu time due to running a bunch of codes to populate the icons on the ribbon. tried closing ribbon doesn't work still have the delay when mouse click on an object to show the grips. oh well maybe it's showing the grip that's using the cpu. but how can you say for sure without turning one feature off at a time to test?

I am using PSE10 and I have just upgraded from lion to mountain lion 10.8.2. Previously when I clicked "write keyword tag and properties info to photo" it seemed to just do that. Since the upgrade to mountain lion when I click 'write keyword tag and properties info to photo" it also changes the date the photo was created to the date the info was written to the photo .
How I can get it to write the keyword info *without* changing the date the photo was created?
Having some trouble with the oppacity on my projects. As you can see from the screenshot, I've clearly clicked something because any text or images that I try to add to my project and set the oppacity at 0% - to then build over a few seconds to 100%, will not do this.Yet previous elements that I've added will.
Is there something I need to click to stop the new text and images from changing oppacity immediately. I want them to build over time - I can see that the added keyframe looks different also.
I have a JVC Everio GZ-HM320BU HD video camera. I'm using Corel VideoStudio Pro X4.
Each year, I record our X-Mas present opening but I didn't realize that HD files get extremely large (new camera two years ago). I make DVD movies for all the kids every year, but I can't remember the process I did for 2010.
What steps do I need to do to take an existing AVCHD MTS file, (time 1:14:11, 2.44 GB, frame width 1920, frame height 1080) and change it to fit on a DVD?
If I need to change it to a non-HD format, I have no problem with that. I just forgot how I did it before.
Is there a way to change the default arc type in AutoCAD 2011? Currently, the ARC command defaults to "Start, End, Radius". I would like it to default to a 3-point arc.
I followed the instructions in the below link where I changed the Langue settings manually in Notepad.

But when I open Revit after this change, I get an error message and says the licence I have in not valid and I can only use the software as a trial version. When I change back the language setting to German, this problem goes away.
Is there another way to change the language setting for Revit?
I am currently using a Nikon D7100 and recording my photos in the Raw/NEF-RAW format. Recently, whenever I am uploading my photos to Lightroom 5, my photos are changing to .dng files rather than staying in the NEF file. When I go and look back at my previous imports from the past few times, they are in NEF and NOT in .dng. Why is this doing this and how do I turn this feature off so that my files remain the same going from my camera to my computer through importation.
have a new Nikon Camera. using flash taking photos inside. For some reason the Histogram on the back of the camera is short of any light pixels, ie they're all grouped in the dark to centre of the histogram, ie the photos are dark. Thing is they look great on the back of the LCD screen and it seems the photos are correctly exposed.
Okay here is the question, does Photoshop have any settings at all, anywhere, which could give the user flexibility in altering any brightness settings when files from a digi camera are imported? I'm thinking a setting for import in photoshophas may have been set too low, hence a dark photo, because the difference between the back of the camera and the image popping up in Photoshop is massively different. I'm assuming that it's no, so I can rule it out and concentrate on what Nikon have to say.
I can run any other application on my PC, including DxO which heats all six cores to 52+ degrees C, for hours, but Adobe Lightroom 4.1 gives me a GPF randomly during develop and always during export unless I throttle back the the cpu usage to half-speed? What is it that LR is doing that no other application does that causes a hardware error in my machine? If I just knew which piece of hardware was the problem I would replace it because I love what I can do with LR!
Just finished a quickie test drive of Lightroom 4, shown here for one particularly challenging wedding photo I captured a couple of years ago:

I've read some claims that LR 4 gives 1 more stop of DR. I think they really mean that LR 4 puts the DR already present in the RAW file to better use than previous versions, but setting that quibble aside.
In my Lightroom catalogue, I often need to open a raw (dng) file in Photoshop, work on it there and save the result as a jpeg. The jpeg is then sent to a client after which I have no further use for it, so normally I would delete it. However I find that every time I 'save as' in Photoshop, Lightroom imports that file into its database. The only exception is if I choose 'save for web' in Photoshop. I'm told that this behaviour is wrong - that LR shouldn't automatically import these images.
