I have a bunch of images that I would like to merge for HDR.These are RAW files. Should I open them in Photoshop and merge them/edit them before I import them into LR 3 or should I import first, do my keywords, etc. then export into PS. I am using CS4. I assume I shouldn't develop in LR3 until after the images are merged.
View 2 RepliesI opened a new 3dsMax file and Import/Merge an object in it. When I opened the "Material Editor" Window of the new file, it is empty.
How can I get the material of the merged object? Is there a way to import/merge an object and their materials as well?
When I merge geometry into a scene that is already using the same materials, it prompts me what I want to do. I always select "Use scene materials"...however, whenever I look at the slate, it shows duplicates all over the place. To keep mat library optimized becomes a task when you are dealing with a lot of materials.
Why does MAX not listen to me when I tell it to use the scene materials that have matching names?

View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst i got a big Adobe InDesign File where I already have designed a catalog. It's made through tables.
It looks like this:
So here's my problem. The article numbers are already filled in. And I have a .csv file with 3 different colums. Art.Number, StandardPrice, DaliPrice It looks like this:
So now i want to import only the prices from this file, because the article numbers are already filled in. If i try to import the .csv file through data merge --> create merged document i am not able to choose this field which i marked blue (dataset). I don't know why... maybe i have to format my csv file different?
And also if i try to show the preview it only takes the data from the first line in my csv file. So somehow i have to merge the fields from the csv file with the article number which is already in my indesign file.
All those fields who look like this------>
are from an plugin which is calls easy catalog... but i think i won't need this plugin... i am sure it's also possible with data merge.
I have a project involving 3 programs. I am creating a planned development in 3d to be 3d printed when finished. The project is a 5 acre tract containing 8 buildings. I have built the surface in C3D and each building in Revit. The buildings are not in the same Revit file. For my solid work, I will bring the files over into 3ds Max Design to section into smaller quadrants to build in the 3d printer.
The questions:
Would it be better to import the surface into Revit to merge surface and buildings together?
Would it be better to import the buildings into C3D to merge entities?
Would it be better to bring those entities into 3ds Max and then merge them into one? Will 3ds Max Design allow me to insert entities accurately in the environment?
Why cant I save a cdr job with all the merge fields setup so that next time I open the file I can go straight to 'merge to new document'.
So Ive set up a 10 to view raffle tickets job. Inserted 20 numerical merge fields, positioned, resized, applied font size color alignment etc etc etc.. Takes ages..... So then merge to a new document, works nice and I can save it fine.
There are a hundred reasons why i may have to close the 'master' merge file before the job has been successfully printed. It may be a repeat print job.
Any which way I really dont get why the live merge data fields are lost on closing the file.
I can use the Catalog from LR 4 and from LR 5 Beta separately in 5, but not at the same time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to merge three pictures in lightroom as HDR to photoshop CS5. A message keeps popping up, saying, "This version of lightroom may require the Photoshop camera Raw plug-in version 7.4" and I click open anyway. I downloaded the plug-in, and it keeps giving the same message.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn LR5 is there any way to merge multiple subfolders? For example, in my 2012 folder, I have lots of subfolders that were created when I imported my photos and organized them by date.
But now that 2012 is over I don't need that granularity anymore and I want to consolited multiple folders into one folder.
I tried selecting a group of folders and right clicking but I haven't found any option for merging folder.
when you have overlapping catalogs there is a different problem. Unfortunately, she doesn't tell how to deal with that. When I merged my catalogs with LR4 (they were created in LR3), I got the new catalog with new folders but no photos available. I am trying to consolidate several overlapping catalogs (don't ask how that happened.) onto a new external hard drive where most of my folders now reside. I moved the foldes to the new drive with LR3, not by dragging the folders themselves. I also want to transfer some photos from a pocket drive usedn ona trip to the new 2TB external drive.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to make a panorama. Should I first Edit my RAW files in Lightroom 4 then Merge in Photoshop 6, or Merge in Photoshop 6 and then Edit in Lightroom 4?
I can easily edit the RAW files first and then go back and redo them if I have to in Lightroom, but if I Merge it first in Photoshop I no longer have a RAW file to play with.I am using .DNG files in Lightroom.
I have LTR 4.1 and CS6 and cannot get the merge to panorama to align all selected photos using the "edit in CS6" feature. If I select the same photos directly in CS6 with out using LTR then the panorama works fine. From LTR, CS6 will not align at least one photo and leaves it below the photos it has merged - it does not warn that it cannot align the photos. I have tried this on several sets of photos.
Any settings within LTR 4.1 or CS6 that needed changing? This feature worked well with LTR 3 and CS5 and trying panorama's previous crreated in LTR 3 now in LTR 4.1, using the same photos, will not merge at least one of the photo's.
Ever since I installed the full Nik suite, LR4's "Merge to HDR PRO in CS5" doesn't work. When I select it, CS5 opens but the files haven't been transfered. Before installing Nik, this worked great.
I can transfer the photo's manually by selecting all of them and using Edit in ...CS5 but that is less convenient, especially because afterwords I have import the result into LR4.
I emailed the same question to Nik and they emailed back boilerplate on how to get their HDR to work.
Merge to Panorama no longer works in CS4.
I have reinstalled CS4 to no avail and am using the latest LR 3.6. OS is Win 7.
All works up until I get to the Merge window in CS4 where I can select any options and then select the "OK" button and nothing happens.
Why I can't merge raw files in photomatix if I select them and take them into photomatix from lightroom. I can take raw files from bridge and merge them in photomatix. When I try this in Lightroom where I would rather do everything unless I need PS, it makes duplicate files in tif, psd, or jpg depending on how its preferences are set. Also when I select photos and tell it to merge them using photomatix the only option it allows me to select is edit a copy with lightroom adjustments. The other two are grayed out! Then I'm left with an HDR photo that I wanted but just a bunch of useless added files lightroom had to create to do it.
I can select the same raw files but use bridge and it will take the raw files into photomatix and I don't end up with a bunch of files I don't want. But then I have an HDR image that isn't imported into lightroom. Is there a work around or is this just the way it is?
I imported pictures into LR from three different SD cards. On one of the cards, I inadvertantly created it in a subfolder. I have been working for several days to correct the problem, but just seem to keep making it worse.
I renamed the 2013 subfolder and drug it into the 2013 parent.
I renamed the May folder as Maay1 and drug into the 2013 folder and that took care of it, but I can't get the Apr folder fixed. I renamed it Apr1 and drug it into the parent Apr folder and ended up with
I have been trying to move the Apr1 images into the Apr parent folder, but get the message that "there is already a folder named "Apr" and a fail. The two Apr folders seem to contain the same images, so could probably delete the subfolder Apr, but a little afraid to. I have spent a lot of time editing the images, and would have to reimport them as originals from the backup.
The usual import menue has the options for importing on the right hand side. My system is now showing an import dialouge box and the import dialouge on the right is greyed out. How do I get back to the standard import screen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis issue occured shortly after update to 4.2, but not directly after. I am using windows 8.
The issue that occurs is after importing images they are adjusted automatically to develop module cross process 1. After dealing with this annoyance for a bit of time I realized that I can not even "RESET ALL" the images to delete the adjustment. In delving into other images that have been in my database for quite some time, I have tried to "RESET ALL", which resets images to CROSS PROCESS 1. I have never set import to automatically adjust.
I just upgraded from LR3.6 to 4.0. When trying to import images the import module freezes for a few minutes and then displays the import screen. However, when selecting a source the program freezes again and eventually crashes.
I had the same issue when upgrading to 3.6 some time ago and then found that disabling some USB controllers solved the problem. This works for LR4 as well. As I don't need all USB connections this is a workable solution, however, disabling controllers should not be necessary to run a program.
System is an Acer Aspire 7811 64 bits w/ Intel i7, Win 7 Home Premium, 8 GB internal mem and no external drives.
I'm using LR4 with a Canon camera setup (Wind 7 Ultimate). I've got the auto import setting all configured with an incoming folder and destination. The app recognizes when an image is put in incoming folder and in fact it moves it to the destination folder. What is really annoying is that it leaves me at the import settings dialog and then I have to make all these choices as I would if I were manually importing.
Shouldn't the images be places in the desination folder and some view of that image be displayed in LR? It could be the folder view or ideally I want to see the last image imported at 1:1 size so I can review it and see if I want to take another shot? Maybe there is some flag I've got set incorrectly.
I have two machines running LR3, a mac laptop and a windoze desktop. Both are using local disk and a central NAS. All files use sidecar (XMP) files.
Frequently I'll copy my pictures directory over to the NAS to back it up or, if I'm upgrading the big windoze box, I'll copy it's images over to the NAS in a different directory. I've also been known to prune the local folders since I know they're backed up and because I need the space for a project. This creates a situation where one folder on the NAS may have duplicate subfolders (say "2008 May") same as the notebook but may also have folders (say "2008 November") that don't exist on the notebook.
I could live happily with this mess except that now I want to make one big master catalog of ALL the images on the NAS, minus the duplicates. In other words, I want to clean stuff up.
If I just import the photos (as opposed to the catalog) I get the duplicates removed but then I lose all the collection sets and previews. If I import the catalogs then I get the collections and previews but I also get duplicates.
What I want is either a tool, or a means in LR3 to eliminate (or merge) the duplicates.
It could be an external file utility that compares two directories and eliminates the duplicates (followed by a LR3 catalog cleanup of missing files) or a way to import the catalogs, remove the duplicate entries and then export as a single file structure.
For some reason my 2011 folder resides outside the main Lightroom folder in the application interface.When looked at through Finder though it resides where it should.
When in LR3 I Merge them it says 'A folder named 2011 already exists at this location'.how I can merge all the folders into one location in the LR3 interface?
I use Auto Import to import my RAW files. Each time LR imports my files the Previous Import count number increases. Is there a way to reset this count so it shows a true reflection of the photos from my previous import session?
Correct me if I'm wrong but if you manually import files the Previous Import count number resets itself automatically. I've Googled this problem & this question has been asked before - all users were utilising Auto Import.
I'm trying to import photos into LR3.3, and the thumbnails are grayed out, as is the import button. The photos come from two other cameras -- one Canon Elf, the other I'm not sure. I received them through dropbox, and they open fine with Bridge and Photoshop CS4.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my (large) Lightroom 5.2 (Windows) library I have three instances of, essentially, the same network share (a Drobo NAS) which appear separately in the library.
One appears as Share (\nas) L:, one as \nasShare and one as \nasshare. The contents of the share are spread randomly across the three - so one might contain the folders seriesevent1, seriesevent4 and seriesevent5 and another seriesevent2, seriesevent3 and seriesevent6.
Is there an easy way to convince Lightroom that they're all the same physical location and merge them in the library? No amount of dragging, dropping, importing or synchronization seems to have had any effect so far!
I use LR4 for printing books via Blurb and have done a few that have turned out great. However I have a problem and can't find an answer.
I often want to export the book to PDF to share online but when I export it separates the cover from the book which spoils the whole effect.
Is there a way to export both book and cover as one single PDF?
Currently looking at buying either Lightroom 4 or Elements 11 at home - can I change image resolution and merge/join photos along with the standard photo editing - would be using this app for my travel pics, family photos and photobooks?
