In the field I work in photoshop and save my images as a DNG on my laptop and when I return from assignment I import the DNG files into lightroom to keep as an archive. Worked great for years but for some reason I'm now losing the crops on the images when I import.
View 3 RepliesI have a proxy lightroom catalog which has 100 images (low res). It's fast to work on these files. I add adjustments (crop and brushes), to all images. Then as a last step I UPDATE FOLDER LOCATION from the library panel, in order to place the high res in there for exporting purposes.
ISSUE: All horizonal images are fine but all the vertical images (If I cropped the image) have the brush applied in the wrong location. Almost like if the image were horizonal, then the image would get the proper brush adjustment. I can;t at that point rotate the image, because the brush adjustment will move with the image.
How do I rename photos on import without loosing the previous file names and captions?

I am trying to create a company ad that incorporates the company logo. The person who created the logo saved two version of it: one is a PNG file, while the other is a pdf file, with the logo copied about 6 times.The logo is complex yet beautiful and artistically done. I do not have the skills needed to recreate such a logo from scratch. Therefore, I need to import the image into Corel Draw X5 to use. However, when I do that with either formats, the quality of the images are so poor that I would be embarrassed to have it printed.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am creating a series of music worksheets on photoshop. I have created some music scores in a music writing software called Sibelius 7. It has the capability to export the sheet music graphics in the following forms: .pdf, .eps, .bmp, .tiff, .png, .svg .
However, I have tried to 'place' each of them into my photoshop file to see which one will work.
But on saving the photoshop document as a .pdf with any of the graphics formats, the vector quality of the image has been lost, as it pixelates on zooming in. I have also tried to import an .svg file into adobe illustrator to save it as an .ai file and then import that into photoshop, but the image is again pixelated.
I don't really know what is happening, as I am essentially trying to import a file that is a vector (or at least does not pixelate on zooming) into photoshop, hoping for the same qualities to be retained, but it is being lost for some reason.
What should I do?
when I open Lightroom (4.1, Win7 64bit), it seems to revert to a previous time, losing recent changes, my last imports and edits, for example.
If I go to 'resynch folder', all my files are there, showing, say, 3,500 when my present catalog shows 3000. When I do resynch, all my labels, keywords etc edits are still present on both the 'missing' files and the ones still present in the catalog which had lost their edits.
im losing all my images from "my pictures" as soon as I transfer them to lightroom 4 only to find that I have lost the folder in lightroom as well. then I have to go into the past month collections what can I do to stop this, does it have something to do with transfering colomn

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have Lightroom 4 running on Macbook Pro (mid 2010 with Mountain Lion), and it loses mouse control totally after a while.
Problems started when upgrading from 3.6 to 4.1 and upgrading to 4.2 did not work. Sometimes I might be able to use the software for hours, sometimes problems start just after ten minutes or so. Only restarting the software seems to work.
Lightroom is only program having this kind of problems, and problem stays same, no matter am I using external mouse or trackpad. Keyboard commands are working all the time and Lightroom seems to respond those normally, only mouse control is totally lost or acting randomly. If I use iPad with Air Display as second diplay, mouse seems to work there just fine even when window in MBP's display is having problems (I saw problem before installing Air Display).
I used a flat bed scanner to scan in a bunch of old photos. The photos aren't completely straight -- I figured I could rotate and recrop using LR.
Here's the problem: I have a bunch of crooked photos on a white background. If I try to rotate the photo, it ends up cropping out part of the photo. (This does make sense -- You've all seen this when you've tried to rotate a photo.)
But I need to figure out how to tell LR to just add in extra white background where needed instead of cutting into my actual photo.
I can do this in PS by creating a big white background, rotating the original pic and then cropping. That's a hassle when you have 100+ images. But isn't there some way to do this in LR?
Opening files in photoshop works fine, but when I save Lightroom loses the file. I have two hard drives in my laptop, a SSD with all my apps (Lightroom and photoshop) and a larger hard drive with all my catalogues and files. Lightroom thinks the edited file in photoshop is saved on the SSD instead of the storage hard drive. It gets the adress correct for the photo but it thinks the storage hard drive is a folder on the app drive.
Im running mac 10.6.8, Lightroom 4.4 and Photoshop CS6 13.0.0.
I have previously used the book module to set up a photo book. During the time I was working with it, I would switch over to the develop module to make adjustments to pictures and then come back and continue working on the book. I have since decided not to use that book and cleared it out.
Now, something has changed (and I can't figure out what). I'll go into the book module and place some pictures into a book. However, if I leave the book module and come back, all updates to my book are gone and I am shown an empty book. Another odd thing that is happening though is that the pictures in the film strip along the bottom of the screen still show a number above them indicating that they have been used in a book. But I can't access or find that book anywhere.
Using a portable hard drive ,when I re-attach to the computer using same USB port I find that it is assigned a different location (eg hard drive L rather than G as before) Therefore LR says the associated files are missing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have one basic metadata preset that I apply to images after they have been imported. I've noticed that on a regular basis, every single image in my library loses its applied metadata preset and it reverts back to "none". For the life of me I cannot figure out why this is happening and I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature.
My standard workflow is that after I import images, I select all the images in the new folder I have designated for those images and apply my specific metadata preset but it seems that a few days later or after I import new images, all metadata presets are gone again. I have noticed this issue with Lightroom 3 and again with Lightroom 4 after I have upgraded so I don't think it's related to a specific version.
My crops are moved around once a folder is reopened after cropping dozens of images to that folder.
Should I crop each individual image, then "Save Image" or click "Done" after cropping each individual image?
Should I crop all images, individually, "Select All" images, then "Save Image"?
Should I crop all images individually, "Select All" images, then click "Done"?
Should I crop all images individually, leaving the last icon selected, then click "Done"?

View 18 Replies View RelatedIn gimp I have imported an image. I then duplicate the image four times (I am trying to make four different crops of the same image). But every time I crop one corner of the image, it automatically crops ALL OF THE OTHER DUPLICATES TOO!!!! I have tried just importing the same image four times as individual layers, but that doesn't work either! Why does one layer affect all of them?!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm cropping a bunch of horizontals to verticals, but how I do match the 2nd, 3rd, after the 1st one I do? I can't figure it out. I made a tool preset after cropping the 1st, but it does not work. Appearantly crop tool needs you to enter the numbers before hand --
I could crop, then screenshot the new settings (very cumbersome) and then enter that im for a new tool preset.
I need to crop arbitrary shapes (e.g. triangle, star, hexagon, etc.) out of a series of pictures. The number of pictures is relatively small (less than twenty), and I will have to manually select the area to be cropped. But, I don't see how I can crop to, say, a hexagon repeatedly. What I would like is a cookie cutter so I can simply size the shape and then stamp it out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen Rotating or Resizing an image I have recently run into an issue. This is new behavior so I think I either have something set incorrectly, or it came in with a recent re-install.
When Rotating or Resizing, and setting Clipping to Adjust, it always Crops the image.
In other words: If I were to attempt to stretch an image bigger than 1000x1000 to say 1500x1500 it appears to do all the correct calculations, and does stretch the image, but anything outside the original 1000x1000 disappears.
Likewise if I were to attempt to rotate an image that were say, 1000x1500, 90°, I would end up with a rotated image 1000x1000 in size, and transparent/background for the balance of the original 1000x1500 sized image.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling (it remembered all my settings, so I don't know how much good this might have done), setting the Clipping option to Clip, then Crop and back to Adjust again (also with no result).
PE11 crops as it prints pictures. Why? I use 4x6 paper to print. When PE11 shows the thumbnail on the preview screen prior to printing the whhole picture is there. But the output shows cropping which spoils the composition of the picture I took. I tried fooling the system by saying that Iwas using 3x5 paper and the whole picture was there but of course there was lots of white space around it. What can I do to get ariound this problem using 4x6 pper?
View 4 Replies View RelatedLR 4.3, 59th reinstall (i lost count), standard HP pc setup, triple-core.
workflow: i develop the master to the point where i want to diverge, then create a virtual copy, finish developing and publish to hard drive. Have done this a million times, but since most recent reinstall (for a plethora of reasons, but mostly difficulties with performance and performance - and oh! performance... ;-), it publishes only the undeveloped original. I've tried publishing the master, just to see what happens, and ditto: only the unedited raw file is displaying in my published folder on the hard-drive.
i am careful to select 'Show PUBLISHED folder on hard-drive' from the right-click drop-down on the published image in the hard-drive publishing module, which in lightroom DOES reflect all changes, but the image on the hard-drive is the original raw file, renamed to the publish-service's specs.
Having to do an extra export into ps6 (which does reflect changes), and re-save for no other reason than to preserve development is time-consuming and destructive to my workflow, which is darned complicated enough as it is!
When I create a document on CD x6, I make it look just like I want it (some background showing around edges, under main content), but when I export it to an image file, it always crops it to the smallest possible size. Why is this, and how can I fix it?
See images below... 1st is what it looks like in CD, and 2nd is the exported image
Is there an easy way to crop a dozen pictures so the image is in the same place? I kept the camera as still as possible but there's inevitably a bit of jumping about. I've tried calculating x and y distances from a fixed point but it doesn't ever seem to work. And can you control the cursor position from the keyboard? It's soooo difficult to get accurate pixel position using a mouse.
