Lightroom :: New Chromatic Aberration Tools Kills Old Settings
Jun 27, 2012
I've just recently found that new chromatic aberration tools kills settings for old chromatic aberration tools. Lets say I have a PV2010 photo with adjusted sliders for chromatic aberration reduction and selected defringe "all edges".Now I'm importing this photo to LR 4.1. I'm not updating process version!
Photo is automatically updated by Lightroom to new CA controls (note it still PV2010 photo). Well, I must say the the results are superb - they are the same as I was achieving with manual sliders, but now with only one click. But the problem is - Lightroom says that metadata have been changed, and I am writing back changes to XMP.But now XMP contains settings for new CA tools, but settings for old CA tools are LOST.
So if I want to open this image in ACR 6.6, or send it to someone with older LR version I end up with completely resetted CA settings, because ACR 6.6 does not have new CA tools, and settings for old tools are killed by LR 4.1 - they are just removed from XMP. So I am loosing CA removal settings completely when opening image in earlier version of application. And I am NOT updating process version!
I have recently been playing with removing CA from pictures. I have a particular RAW file picture of the inside of a church dome. I have made a number of Develop Module adjustments. There is purple and green fringing along the window frames and the columns by the windows, which I would like to remove.
I can remove most of this fringing by checking the Remove Chromatic Aberration box and then either use the dropper tool or just slide the Amount sliders a bit for both the Purple and the Green fringes. I do see a noticeable difference.
However, I have a problem Exporting the resultant file. Right before I check the Remove CA box, I can Export the RAW file as a JPEG, with, say, 80% quality, and leaving size/dimensions unchanged.
After I check the Remove CA box, however, when I try to Export the file, I get 1 of 2 results. One result, probably more common, is that it appears as if the file is being Exported; however, after a bit of time, I get an error message that says "Not Enough Memory." The second thing which can happen is that it appears as if a file is being Exported, but there is no disc activity, and, after it looks as if the Export completes, there is no file in the folder I specified. If I try Exporting again, leaving everything exactly the same, I get no message at all telling me that the file already exists, confirming that it had not been exported the first time.
I have tried greatly reducing JPEG quality (down to 40% I think), and I still cannot Export. I have tried lowering the dimensions down to 1920 pixels on the long side, and I have tried restricting the file size to about 5000K. Nothing so far has allowed me to Export this file.
Yet, if I go back in the history, right before I checked the Remove CA box, I can Export that file.....although the only way I can do that is to first exit Lightroom and then relaunch it.
My PC is about 4 years old; I have 4 GB of memory. Maybe I need more, but even by trying to greatly reduce the file size, I have these problems.
In the Develop Module under Lens Corrections, the CA option is no longer present. It was there in the previous RC. In the Sync Settings, it is a still a selectable option.
I must state that I am miffed that manual adjustment of C.A. has disappeared in LR4. This would have been easier to understand if some commonly used lenses that are not the latest release had profiles available. For example, I shoot the older version Nikkor Micro D 60mm and 105mm lenses for underwater photography. I built a preset to correct the C.A., which I now assume won't work. The automatic setting does not entirely remove it. Is there any way to deal with this aside from adding an extra step and editing CA in Photoshop (which doesn't do a great job of it, either)?
I am a commercial photographer and have use Lighroom since it was introduced. I just updated Photoshop to CS6 and found that the Chromatic Aberration corrections I apply to an image in Lightroom 4.2 are NOT following the image when I open the image in CS6 using Command-E to open the image from Lightroom. All other Lightroom corrections have been applied, only the Chromatic Aberration correction is missing. One other piece of information is that I convert all RAW files to DNG when I inport the RAW file into Lightroom. I had none of these issues when I was using Photoshop CS5.
I am having a problem with LR 4.2 in correcting chromatic aberation. When I try to use the "defringe tool" I receive the following error message, "Cannot set the purple or green fringe color. Please sample a representative fringe color agian." However, I can see the sampled pixel in the pallette and read the RGB values.
I am using bridge CS5 (version 4.0.5.11) and working in camera raw. In the lens corrections tab in the manual control I have lost my chromatic Aberration controll, this is to say, it has disappeared. I now see under the manual tab I now see the transform controlls, below that I see lens vignetting. The chromatic aberration conrolls have disappeared, where have they gone and can I get them back and how do I do that?
I work with GIMP 2.8.4 on Windows XP. In order to remove strong lateral chromatic aberrations I tried the CA plugin version 3x What I saw in the preview looked good, but when I pressed the OK button no result appeared. What is the reason? How to install this plugin on Suse Linux step by step.
I have a preset in Lightroom set to export photos with the long-edge at 900px in length. Whenever I use the resize feature, the photos that result have horrible noise and I don't know what to do about it. I can export the images at full size without any noise, then use Photoshop CS5 to resize the images and still have cleaner photos.
Here's an example.
The following export preset it set as such:
- Export as JPEG - Quality = 100% - DPI = 300 - Resize to 900px on long-edge
The first photo is exported via Lightroom 5 with the above settings, then directly uploaded to Imgur.
The second photo only has the Resize feature disabled in Lightroom. It was then resized to 900px on long-edge in Photoshop CS5 and the uploaded to Imgur.
The only difference between these two photos is which program was used to shrink them down to 900 x 600px.
Here is link to the referenced photos: [URL]
What do you think could be causing this? Since the only difference between the photos is which program resized them, all I can think is that it's an LR5 issue...
I'm just beginning to use Gimp with my Thinkpad x230. It's got a pressure sensitive stylus with eraser to use on the screen, and in ubuntu it's basically an on-screen wacom.
One of the greatest things about this is that I can use Gimp like a souped up sketchpad, I can automatically change tools to eraser whenever I spin the pen around.
The only problem is that whenever I change the brush size for the pencil, then move over to eraser, Gimp uses the brush size I selected for the pencil for the eraser tool. This is super annoying in practice. Is there a way for Gimp to memorize which brush size I want for a given tool?
I am still trying to learn the basics in AutoCAD. Here is an example: I have many lines created in a drawing that all are different in collar,layer,line type,. Now I want to start drawing a new line But with the settings of a specific line . instead of changing every attribute(collor,layer,line type.) How can I simple pick a line I like from the drawing and then the line tool adopts the settings from that line? The same question for other tools for example text, dims,... Is the a tool the simple picks the objects attributes and make those current ?
In LDDT, I was able to create points and manually assign a point number.
I know in Civil 3D 2013, i can assign a point number also by changing a toggle under Point Creation Tools to False.
My problem is that everytime I close out of that box and get back in, it reverts the toggle back to TRUE so I have to keep changing it back to False as well as the Next Point Number. In the above example, the Next Point Number should be 1147 (which is after my manually created point 1146) but it keeps going back to 33 which is the next available number after #1.
I’m a long time Photoshop user but recently picked up LR4 to try to fine tune my workflow. I’ve noticed that after importing new files (RAW, I haven’t tried with jpg) into my library as I scroll through them (1-up, not in grid) the preview comes up and then after a second or so the WB changes to a much colder image.
Does LR4 initially preview at specific settings and then change to the individual image settings? Even if so, the final images seem very cool and I feel like I have to up the temp more than I should have to. My previous workflow was to sort in Bridge and then use ACR to import to Photoshop. I feel like I did much less tweaking of my WB this way. I feel like I’m starting from square one with LR4.
This problem has come and gone and come again, so it may be windows related, but only has issues with CorelDRAW X6System runs fine and prints from windows and even CorelDRAW X4, but as soon as you start CorelDRAW X6 and create or open a document, the spooler stops and you cannot print. If you just open CorelDRAW X6 everything is fine.
Error in the even logs is generic... "The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly."
Printers are network attached and have been in use for years with no problems.
When using the standard type tool, periodically, the keyboard arrow keys will not work. You can manually change your selection point, but not by using the left of right arrow.
I notice that if I use the CS6 feature of holding down the shift key while pickwhipping a new parent (to get the child to move to the parent), it deletes any keyframes I have set (position,scale,rotation). Is this normal behavior?
I've been having this problem for a while with Photoshop and my Wacom pen...
I'll be painting and I'll bump the middle button on my wacom pen and I'll get the circle of circles that spins forever... until I force quit. It's so cumbersome. I have my middle button mapped to the middle mouse click.
I use a mac and currently on CC. I have an intuos 5 but It used to happen to my three too. It's been less of a problem lately because of the crash recovery feature but it's still a huge problem...Like if there was an auto save feature or something then I'd be less frustrated.
I seem to have trouble articulating what's going on as well because all I get back is... did you update the drivers? it must be a wacom issue. try an update... etc.
The wheel spins but the pen still draws... like... FML
In the engineering notebook, I have sectioned the assembly so that I can show what I need to note. I would like to freeze the view. When I freeze the view, the section goes away and I cant see what I need to.
design Center - display order goes out the window. The inserted block is redefined but the rest of the drawing loses all its display order. sortents (127, 33, 51, etc) and displayorderctl does nothing, either before or after the block is redefined. hatches and blocks just jump to the front (display order shows as order of drawn not order as moved to) Regenall does nothing.
absolute nightmare with display order managed elevations (solid hatch, baconies, windows, multple buildings, all overlaying!!)
Does PS use the sidecar files to correct previously processed raw images where the lens aberration correction box had previously been checked when processed in ACR? I sometimes dial back the lens aberration correction if it adversly effects shaprness in the corners.
When I merged 3 cr2 raw files to hdr the lens geometric aberration was corrected--but perhaps that is always done anyway?
Also I had previously processed the 3 raw files in ACR and left 16 bit files open in PS. PS warned that it is best to merge the raw files themselves, though I couldn't detect much loss of dynamic range if the 16 bit files in PS were merged or the raw files themselves. I had never saved the files yet as 8 bit jpegs so perhaps no data was lost.
When the 'up' arrow appears in a thumbnail and comes up with the message:
The metadata for one or more of these photos has been changed by another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?
What exactly does that mean? This seems to happen every time I export an image to PS (CS5) and return to LR. What exactly has changed? What settings are being imported if I choose 'import settings from disk'.
I am learning Photoshop from an excellent book by Scott Kelby. He has a section which clearly explains the use of Chromatic sliders. All I have is a check box. How do I get to these sliders? I have CS5.
