Lightroom :: 4.0 File Handling / Step Backward Or Forward?

Sep 25, 2012

I am not a big fan of the entire way that Lightroom 4.0 hands changes at all and Adobe needs to address this problem because it is just that, an problem. We can use the catchy verbiage "non destructive" because it sounds nice but the fact is that it is cumbersome from a resource perspective and UI perspective.  It adds extra steps to the workflow and this in turn takes away from the experience of users.  The entire workflow should be reexamined and the code, rewritten.
 
Lets just look at how Picasa handles this issue.  When I click "Save" or better yet "Save All", every picture that I have edited is saved with the changes that I have made to them.  A new folder is then created and named "Originals" where I can find the original files that I have edited. That’s it. Plain and simple.  My files are intact and I can now go and find them in my well-thought-out folder hierarchy where I can then do what ever I want from emailing to a client to sending them to Flicker, Facebook, Google+ Galleries, where ever I choose.  There is no thought put into this process.
 
Adobe has a lot to learn from this free app. Currently, in Lightroom 4, I have to go back through the 300 pictures I just took, find the 40 that I have edited, then "Ctrl+Click" to select only them, find my folder in my file directory, create a new folder, and finally export a new set of pictures with the changes that I wanted to send out to my client 10 minutes ago. 
 
Both processes achieve the same thing and the things that we all want which are our original files are still intact and untouched and our new files with the changes are in the folder where we found them.  The difference is that Adobe chose a much less elegant way to go about this.  More advanced? Yes, but sometimes, as and coder will tell you, simpler is faster, safer, and better.
 
Now, I also stated that from a resource perspective this is also poorly conceived.  I am referring to the fact that now I have to maintain a database in which changes are tracked that is always running in the background.  It is common knowledge that databases are susceptible to corruption when not properly managed and even the simplest snag in the application, power surge while an I/O process is running, or if my computer hangs up, all my changes are gone.  What if I want to switch computers?  Do I also need to manually go in several times a month and backup my database to a separate directory?
 
Will I lose all of my changes that I did not publish?  Maybe, maybe not but it is now something else I have to worry about which ultimately takes away from my experience in the application.
 
Simpler is better and this is one step backwards, not forwards.At a minimum, give me the option to save the changes and don’t manage your users like a child.

Photoshop Elements :: Selecting Sub Menu From Within Main Drop Down Menu

Jun 15, 2013

When selecting a sub menu from within a main drop down menu the arrow points to the right but the actual sub menu pops up on the left in most cases. I have only noticed this recently and wonder if I have inadvertently messed up a setting as in the past I cant recall this being so but I don't use the editor a lot so may be mistaken.

Photoshop :: File Handling

Sep 7, 2005

Running OSX and CS2. Having trouble with file handling. I can take several hundred photographs a day in my job. Sometimes each image can require fine tuning.

This used to be fairly simple, in that when I activate an icon the image appeared. I would complete the adjustments and move onto the next image in the folder. "This is where the trouble begins". With the new system and CS2 everytime I go back to the holding folder, the previous selection has been ignored and the first file in the folder is the highlighted choice, despite the fact I might be on image 90. The program automatically defaults back to image one.

This is very frustrating in that I now have to keep a written track of the file number just completed so that I can scroll down to the next required file.

This cannot be the way that CS2 handles multiple files.

Photoshop :: File Handling And Default Folders In CS3

Aug 8, 2008

Is it possible set a Default Folder for all "Save As" to be saved in?

I find that an edit of a photo will automatically save in the folder that I opened the shot from. If I had made a copy of the shot, the copy will save in a different folder.

Ideally, ANY AND ALL (originals and copies) "Save As" should be save in "c:Working" by default without having to go through the hassle of navigating there.

I am running CS3 under Vista (4 gig ram) on one machine and XP (3 gig ram) on another.

Photoshop :: Create Blank File / Metadata Handling

Mar 26, 2012

We have two related issues we're trying to solution.

(1) If we create a blank Photoshop file ("template") that is merely a size, resolution and color profile, when we add an image (that does contain metadata), the image's metadata is not retained in the template metadata. We need to be able to transfer that image's metadata, automatically, to the template. (We do not want to have to copy/paste.)

(2) Let's say we now have a template with 1 image and associated metadata. We now need to add another image(s) to this template and have the second image's metadata also transfer automatically. (This auto-transfer of metadata would occur for any subsequent image added.)We are using CS4 v11.0.2.

Lightroom :: Convert To DNG In (v4) - File Sizes Will Drop By About 20%

Sep 2, 2012

I had read that when I convert to DNG in Lightroom (v4), the file sizes will drop by about 20% (I checked the check box for compression). I'm converting from a batch of 16-bit NEFs I created when scanning slides using the Nikon LS-5000 scanner. Those scans and files were created with Nikon Scan 4.0. After doing the conversion in Lightroom, the DNG file sizes are around 3MB-17MB. The original NEF files were about 135MB. Where in the world did all my data go? I'm concerned that the conversion to DNG threw away a ton of the original data. How is that much of a reduction possible? I'm hoping that there wasn't some catastrophic problem during the conversion, as I also checked the check box to delete the originals after the conversion is finished.
 
The image quality seems to be okay when looking at the DNG files in Lightroom.

Lightroom :: 4.2 Crashes When Handling TIFF Files

Nov 15, 2012

I am now shooting both digital and analog. When processing RAW files coming from my digital cameras, I don't have any problem with LR. But I am also scanning negative films and handling the resulting TIFF files in Lightroom. Since I have started this new workflow, I can be sure that Lightroom will crash at least once during a session. This can happen at any time when I'm in the Development module.
 
I'm running an Intel iCore 7 2600 PC under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with 8GB of memory and plenty of disk space.

Photoshop :: Drop Down Menu Flip

Sep 11, 2013

I have been using photoshop cs4 since its release and yesterday the drop down menus at the top have started loading to the left instead of to the right. I have gone through recommended fixes from this forum and others and cannot fix the problem.
 
- I reset the program preferences.
- Changed the handedness in the Wacom preference file.
- My tablet pc input panel was disabled to remove flicks…so I cannot access it.
- My trial copy of PhotoshopCC is not experiencing the problem

Illustrator :: Foreign Fonts Display In Character Drop Down Menu

Feb 28, 2014

When designing a sign for a customer, I take a photo of the existing signs, place on a new document in illustrator cs6, type text then scroll through the text character drop down menu to match the new sign text to the font that is currently on the customers signs, business card etc.

There are many different types of fonts and I would prefer not to have the adobe system fonts, asian, arabic and other fonts that are not used for my purposes.
 
Is there a way to remove them from this list.
 
I have tried deleteing them from the window 7 font manager but they are essential system fonts and it displays a message that some programes will not work if I delete them.
 
I have tried show/hide in the windows 7 font manager but this has no effect on the fonts displayed in illustrator.
