The histogram clipping triangles disappeared in the Develop module. Upgrading from LR 5.2 to 5.3 did not solve the problem, and I can't find an on/off toggle in any of the support sites.
View 1 RepliesI have pretty strange behaviour on concert pictures I import from my D700. Usually I import with camera profile Vivid V4. The concert pictures have strong reds due to the flood lights.
My camera histogram shows a slight clipping of the reds (even though I underexpose 1-2 stops).
Â
After import of the RAW files using Vivid V4, the histogram in Lightroom looks strange, and also the controls behave strange:
- a strong red spike in the histogram at about 1/5th away from clipping level (the picture in Lr shows blown out parts in red)
- hovering over different areas of the pictures and checking the percentage indicator underneath the histogram shows significant areas of 100 % red, even though there are still tonal differences in those areas
- moving exposure to the right: the histogram content left to the spike is shifting as expected, but the spike is growing and staying at 1/5th, nothing is appearing to the right of the spike (more areas in the picture are blown out)
- no other basic control can flatten out the spike, even not the highlight slider
- only the saturation control has some influence, and also with the tone curve I can fill the histogram, but picture is still looking blown out
Â
The situation improves a lot by using Camera Neutral V4, the red is more spread out in the histogram, also beyond the 1/5th the highlight clipping level. Significant areas in the picture are still at 100 % but less blown out. Basic controls are behaving more normal, and it is possible to fill the histogram by increasing the exposure or other controls.
Â
The question is.. is this unintended behaviour of Lightroom, or is is as good as we can get it with the strong red colors, and is it better not to use Vivid V4 in these cases?
I created a catalog with smart previews from my PC (Win 7, 64 bit) and copied it onto my macbook pro (OSX 10.9.1) via a thumb drive. I can view the photos fine, zoom in and use the develop controls. However I get no histogram, cannot export and below the histogram it just says 'photo is missing'.
Â
The whole point of this exercise was to choose and export lo-res selects to customers when out of the office. I can't do that.
In LR5 when I go to use one of the 5 zone adjustment areas in the Develop module histogram, there is a 2 - 2.5 second delay before I can use them for each image. The individual sliders below, e.g., exposure, contrast, etc, don't exhibit the delay.
Â
This is not the case with LR4.4... and it is a cause of frustration for me due to the slowdown in my wedding workflow. I'm on a Mac Quad Core, 12 GB, SSD, etc, so I'm not sure what the problem is, as I said there's no problem with 4.4. I searched but did not see this problem listed. Also, LR 5.2RC does not fix the problem.
When I choose "Enable Profile Correction" in Lens Corrections panel in develop module, the histogram changes as well as the image itself (gets brighter).Â
Â
I do see the image change as it applies distortion correctly as well. I go back and hit reset and try again and always happens. I have only noticed this with my Nikon D600 with the kit lens. It did not see this with my D90 - no histogram changes,
Â
This occurs in LR 4.3 and just upgraded to LR 4.4 to see if it was fixed.
Â
The histogram looks normal.
Â
The histogram after selecting the lens correction. The histogram changes plus the RGB looks too symmetrical as well.
Â
Interestingly, I changed it the Make to Canon and it went back to the original settings. I checked other cameras and some behaved like the Nikon. I also went through various len models and some show this histogram fix with some lenses and looks normal with others.
definitive function and use of the X/Y split colour numbers in the LR soft proofing histogram?
Â
It's the only function inside of Lightroom that I can't figure out - is it a point sample between original and proof, or an area sample?
Â
And whatever it is, what are you supposed to do with the info; you can't "lock" a sample point a la Photoshop can you.
Â
There must be some prescribed method of usage for the info, otherwise why is it there?
I shoot in raw, I import into lightroom by doing a sync folder. Then I edit my picture using photoshop cs6. I save it as a jpeg. Finally I export this image as a jpeg to a sub folder called Publish, which means its ready for the web. problem is when i look at image in lightroom on the right side the histogram has no details, it wont show iso, fstop or anything. if I look at my original RAW file i can see the exif info in the histogram but on my final exported image its all gone.
Â
furthmore it looses all its tags and meta data, I have to copy the metadata back to this file. it would be nice if lightroom would reinsert the meta info and exif once its reimported into lightroom.
Frequently when I import raw Nikon files to lightroom 4 I initially see a picture with tone and white balance I really like. during this time (2 to 10 seconds) the histogram indicates that it is calculating. When the histogram is finished calculating the picture changes with bad tone (exposure, contrast ...). You can go and manually change the tone settings but it can take sometime and I would rather be able to quickly return to the picture settings that was initially presented. Is there a short cut or easier way?

View 7 Replies View Relatedwhile importing photos in Lightroom 4 they all are covered with a green layer even on the histogram. Could that have something to do with my configurations? Working with windows 7 prof.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine has seen the colors of the highlight and black clipping warning triangles in the LR3 histogram panel change color to cyan (pink) and yellow but doesn't know what these are indicating.
Â
I tried to replicate this in LR4 but only saw (what looks like) pink (but may be red), blue and green.what the yellow and pink triangles mean?
There's a gap between the edge of my tonal information and the end of the histogram box on both sides of the graph. No matter how bright or dark I make the image it does not show clipping and the values do not slide to the far edges of the box like they used to. Also, holding down option when dragging the 'whites' and 'blacks' sliders no longer shows me clipped values no matter how bright or dark I make it.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am running Lightroom 4.1 on two Macs, both running 10.7.4. On one of the machines the Alt/Option key does not work properly in the Develop module.
Â
When I hold down the Alt/Option key and move the Exposure or Blacks slider I expect to see the clipping display. Instead this action moves the whole of the sidebar of the user interface. I can move it to any place on the screen and off the edge of the screen. Clearly this should not be possible.
The problem machine has a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet attached, so I have tried updating the Wacom drivers, and also removing the Wacom software completely. Neither solves the problem. My other Mac does not exhibit this problem.
LR states that my photos are missing, but none of my photographs seem to be missing, ie, there are no question marks and all photos can be found, edited, and exported in the normal fashion.

Is that clipping?
I mean it very clear when I see the mountain slamming up to the right, but many times I see a normal mountain rise and fall, and then seem to see this razor thin blue green or red line on the right edge.
I noticed that you can click on the top of the time line to put green triangles at various places at the top of the story board. I am not sure what they are for other than to mark a place on the timeline. I also noticed that when I burned the video to disk, there was a skip or brief pause at the exact location where the green marker was located. So I have two questions:
1 Was the "skip" at the marker purely coincidental or was it caused by the marker and
2 What are the markers for?

View 2 Replies View Relatedabout cs6 , why the histogram is always set to colors? i mean is a bug like cs5 it should be set by default to rgb
Â
every photo i load it's always set to colors and i guess there is not option to save and have rgb by default.
Other than using the PrtScrn procedure,
way to save/copy the histogram of an image?
Putting in a simple berm crest, and the triangles skip right over a certain section. Swap edge does nothing and adding points seems to make things worse. I have been able to fix this problem before, but only by deleting my surface and then putting all the pieces back in at once. Then it's perfect.Â
I think part of the problem may be that the "Contour help" I put in at the blue major contours is screwing things up.I have had the same issue when putting in down-slope channels as well.
Whenever I try to use the "DWG to PDF.pc3" driver, I'm getting TIN triangles in my PDF. They don't show up in the "Print Preview", just in the resulting PDF. They also don't show up if I print directly to a printer. Only in the PDF. Never saw this before installing SP2.1.
