At times in Lightroom 4, for no apparent reason, the images are surrounded by a thick, grey border. If I crop the image, the new image does not exoand to fill the space, but rather the image stays small, and more grey appears to take up the space. How do I make the grey go away>
View 2 RepliesI have a 3D drawing of a phone, and there seems to be a reflection or glare covering it and it is really annoying.
The screen portion is supposed to be white, as well as the buttons. The border of the black section is gray, as is the edge of the phone.
How do I change the default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray in illustrator CS6? In the older versions, the toolbar backgrounds were light gray. It easier to read on light gray backgrounds. THe same question applies to Photoshop CS6. InDesign CS6 has light gray backgrounds.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy company is switching from ctb files to stb files. With the ctb file, we make concrete hatch with two layers. A top layer with the concrete hatch pattern and a background layer with a solid hatch patern. The ctb file concrete plots the concete hatch black and the solid background hatch light gray. I am using civil 3d 2013 and the hatch allows a seperate background color mask. I am trying to make all my concrete layers (Top of Curb, Curb Flowline, etc.) a certain color scheme, i.e. shades of green. I would like my on screen concrete hatch patern to be a green color with a gray background, but plot the concrete hatch black with a gray background. I can not figure out how to do this without making two layers. Is there a way to use one layer and utilize the background color mask to show on screen green and gray, but plot black and gray?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have another question about GREY images.
Example: CTRL+click on grey channel theoreticly (by my theory) make selection from white depending on its value. So cuting out must leave transparent greyscale image. But it don't (okey, it do, but changes black value):
The same selection inverted and filled with 100%K gives correct result: Is my "theory" about CTRL+click selection wrong? Becouse for my point of view, both ways should give same result.
Why do all of my thumbnails turn grey when I try to import them? It says that I have imported them previously.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAll what I get are gray previews with a newly built catalogue and also with an older one after having moved my pictures and LR to a new PC. The pictures contain some metadata like numbers and scores (stars or colors) of a former evaluation. These gray pictures appear in all modules, except in the web module. Only there I get the normal appearance. The monitor is recently calibrated, and I also deleted the .irdata file and got a rebuilt one, but this did'nt change the situation.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy does a black through white gradient created in an RGB document have a B channel that differs from the R and G channels?
In 8-bit mode, only some of the "grays" have a mismatching B value and there seems to be more of them when the gradient is created by Gradient Tool than when it is a Gradient Fill layer. The difference seems to be 1 in the cases that I've seen.
In 16-bit mode, I see the B differ from R and G by 7 at black, gradually reducing to 0 at white.
Before someone says, "Why make a fuss about small discrepancies?", I'm asking why there is any difference at all.
Upgraded to LR4. When selecting the 2nd monitor (Gateway) all photo images show as dim dull dark greyed out. If I move LR window from primary (NEC) to the Gateway all menu items and selections normal. All images are dull dim grey including the histogram. Selecting 2nd monitor feature places Loupe on primary display (NEC) works just fine.
If I reset Windows 7 and designate primary monitor as Gateway the problem remains unchanged.
If I place main LR window on Gateway and then select preview of 2nd monitor (CTRL-click) the pop up window renders correctly on the Gateway.
Turned off all icc profiles for monitors no improvement.
Windows 7PRo 64-bit 8GB RAM quad processor all drivers up to date. NVidia card up to date.
Other non LR windows programs and images opened on the second monitor look just fine. The Gateway will render correctly the 2nd monitor pop up preview image; so the monitor will properly display.
If I have some time I will go back to LR3 and double check that everything works fine.
In LR5, when I´m using the adjustment brush, the grey circle doesn´t appear. How can I make this dot to appear?

View 3 Replies View RelatedJust installed the LR3 software and updated to the last version. I inserted the SD-card with 12 pictures (jpg and raw) into the card reader but on the LR3 screen I only saw 12 grey rectangles. However, I imported the 12 pictures into a folder on the PC. The rectangles remained gray. With other programes I can see and open the pictures. My camera is a LX5.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Windows 7x64 and have recently installed Lightroom 4.3. Initially worked well but after installing Photoshop CS6 I can no longer see images. The metadata and histograms are there but no images. What I see is a set of gray frames, one for each image in the imported group. Each frame is numbered sequentially, and the total gray frames is the same as the number of images in the imported file.
Using the "Develop" mode I still see only a gray box, though the histogram is live, and as I move the cursor across the gray box it shows R, G, and B characteristics as if the photograph is visible.
I have just noticed that new PSD files (with transparent backgrounds) are displaying in Lightroom with a gray background where the transparent areas are in the image.
Has this change happened in the 4.4 update on the Mac? I can see previously imported files show a white background but when I click on it to view in Develop mode it the tranparent area of the picture changes to gray.
I would prefer this to be white (as it was), is there a way to change this in LR as I really don't want to have to open each image in PS and drop in a white layer behind it.
This was working fine before but has now changed, I hope I haven't altered something in the preferences as I can't see a way to change it. I'm not referring to the Background colour in LR prefs as that just changes the area surrounding the image, I am referring to the transparent area of my pictures.
I'm a long time user of LR. I just purchased and installed LR 5 yesterday and am not having problems in the develop module. Develop module only gives a gray rectangle instead of my photographs (even though the thumbnails are showing below).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have moved the library folder in OSX and then tried to start lightroom again pointing it to the new library location. Afterwards all Previews were replaced by grey squares (with color curves showing on the right, stars etc. but no image). It looks like the previews are not created but all the information are there

Tried to optimize library but after 6 days of process ongoing i stopped with no changes at all to the library. Have about 60k photos in the library.I have tried the monitor settings but that makes no difference.This also happens with newly imported pictures,the ones that were appearing clearly in the library are grey at the next start of the project.running lightroom 5 with imac and latest osx.
I run a HP DV6 Laptop with Core I7 and Windows 7. While editing my photos my computer appeared to over heat (which is a recurring issue that I'm working to resolve) during mid-post production. Upon restarting my computer, and when I accessed the same photos, I got a very lengthy loading icon when I clicked on a photo under the "Develop" tab. This problem recurred and in attempt to resolve the problem I decided to delete the library and re-import the files. Upon re-import, I cannot view all the photos in the library grid view. I'm not sure if my files are now corrupt from the sudden crash or is it just a data issue with LR?
I've attached a screen shot of what the problem library looks like...
How do I return the color gradient or gray scale to beneath the sliders. They are all just currently gray. The whole process just slows me down not seeing the resepctive colors or greys beneath the sliders.

I want to place a circle shaped outline border around the original image with a set border thickness and color and be able to crop/remove the portion of the image beyond the outline, changing it from a square/rectangle image to a circular image.
If I am not able to change the drawing to have a round outer border from square, how can I make the outer parts past the newly created circular outline transparent?

I'm trying to find a way to add a border + watermark around an image upon export. A bit of background: I shoot music concerts and have a series of 20-30 images per show that I need this done, some are landscape some are portrait orientation. And keeping the correct photo order is important as I need to show the concert as it happened. I know it can be done in Photoshop via actions, but I'm really trying to move away from PS and do everything in Lightroom.
Pictures speak louder than words, so here is the before (without border or watermark) and the after (same photo, nothing lost, with white border around and the photographer name on the bottom right).

I see there is a way to export a photo with a white border using the print module but is there another way? (I know I can use CS5)
Perhaps a nifty plugin?
The RGB values of the Border color added in the Lightroom 5.3 Print Module does match the RGB values of a selected spot on the image as seen in the Develop Module. How can one get a correct color from the image itself to become the Print Module Border color? Why do these not match? How can a matching result be obtained other than the very imprecise appoach of visually trying to match the color?
