Lightroom :: Photobooks - Use Different Format (other Than JPG) For Background?
Apr 2, 2013
I am creating a photobook using Lightroom (Version 4.3). I am using individual backgrounds which I have designed in Adobe Illustrator. I have exported the files from Illustrator as jpg. I have the following questions:
1) There are two presets for backgrounds in Lightroom (Travel and Wedding). Can I add my own backgrounds to a separate preset?
2) From time to time I have a problem exporting the photobook as a pdf or transfer it to blurb. When I remove my individualized backgrounds there is no problem with the export function. Has this issue something to do with my backgrounds. Should I use a different format (other than jpg) for the background?
I'm having trouble saving my gif as a truly clear background image... i continue to get a white background around the image... like a line stroke. This is most obvious when I save for the web using image ready, but not as bad when perform a I save as gif function (thought it still happens). And of course, you don't see the line till you insert the image in a colored background.
The problem is my file doesn't downsize as sharp when I manually change the file size or transform it.
Same thing happens when I use Illistrator. I'm wondering if it is an outdated filter or something?
My designer just sent me some background texture files in jpg format but they actually need to be in png. Am I able to convert these jpg to png without losing quality, or do I need to ask her to generate the png from the original file?
I had 9875 photos that I wanted to convert to the latest DNG format and also include lossless compression and embed fast load information.
I marked all photos and selected 'Convert photos to DNG' from the library menu.
Days went by and the convertion worked almost perfectly.
30 photos can not be converted but Lightroom does not tell me why. Some photos are copies of others and the originals has been converted without problems.
We are thinking about switching over to Lightroom, but 95% of our 60,000 images are EPS files. I recently used a trial version and it didn't seem to recognize my EPS files. Is there a way for Lightroom to acknowledge these files? Is there a plugin to download and try?
I had recently upgraded to LR 4 and 4.1.Later my (5 year old) computer quit working for various reasons and I replaced it with a new one.In order to get LR running again, I reinstalled it and hooked up with my catalog with the old preview folders .Now, I realize that the default location for the catalog and previews is a Lightroom 4 folder and now a previews.db.
How can I get my working catalog converted to the LR 4 format and location.I do not remember LR 4 or 4.1 asking me if I wanted to convert and asking me where the old catalog was.Or, do I import the old catalog as <a catalog> ?
When I try to import photos onto lightroom on my external hard dring using my pc the file preview images won't show up and at the end of importing there are no files in my folder. However. when I go to class we use Mac computers and I have no issues importing. We reformatting our external hard drives the first day of class so we could use them on both PCs and Macs. Not sure if its my computer not able to read the RAW format or what.
My workflow includes renaming images based on capture date and country ISO code in 3 letter format. (see: http:[url].....
When importing files with geodata my "country" metadata is filled in 2 letter format. Is trere a way to chenge this in Lightroom 5? I would like to avoid renaming my old files.
is it possible to add this features in the Book module of the Lightroom 4?
I understand that is possible to export in PDF file format, but sometime, in order to use online printing service, is better to have one JPG file for every page.
I think that is very simple to add this feature to te book module.
What is the best export/import format for sending 3D files. I need some neutral format files, possibly Solidworks but I am not sure. Also any export settings to make sure I get decent quality files.
Nothing like getting a surface model when you want solid model.

We have a computer that using AutoCAD Architecture 2013 and Acrobat 9 Standard. When printing a large sheet (30"x42") with images in it to a PDF the images do not appear in the newly created PDF. However, if the same file is printed to fit an 11x17 the images display correctly. Any thoughts as to why the large sheet size is not printing properly?
I am working on a 3' x 10' banner with 300dpi in Photoshop and it takes all of my time to do the extra tools to do, and it takes 10 minutes to save it or more. I have powerbook and CS6 on me. I put the highest memory in Photoshop preference. So I am bearing to work with it for hours for one small assignment, but why does it takes so long? is there a better way to do to save time and speed to make the poster banner to look greater than life? even in 200 dpi?
I was trying to import the new Photoshop CS6 file format .psb in LR4.1. It does not work. Is that correct?
If yes, is there an other way to import files (over 25'000 pixel length) in LR4.1 or is there a possibility to use the old .psd format (wich I used under CS4) or other Photoshop file format? It looks that the .psd file format (CS6) has a limitation.
I'm looking to write a simple Windows Phone 7 application which generates GPS tracklogs. I'm wondering what format I should generate on the phone for acceptance by lightroom.
I am currently using TIFF 8-bit LZW compression, About 10 seconds per photo. I forgot to set the RAW file size in my camera to S-RAW to make it just a bit bigget than the 1080P footage I will later output them to. I was wondering if there was a file format that was lossless but is quickest to export to from lightroom.?
I get the following error message "the files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom (242)" Using 64bit windows 8 Having the same problem in Photoshop CS6
I have saved my photos in RAW format and imported them into Lightroom. I have then made changes to them and exported them from Lightroom as JPEG files. However, when I go to a printing kiosk and get the photos printed, they are all darker than what they displayed in Lightroom. What do I need to do to be able to print accepable photos?
Exporting large file sizes. In short I'm trying to export some images for large format printing but am having trouble preparing the right size in LR4.
Specifically I'm trying to produce w 30" x h 20" images. I understand that to do this I'll need a image that is 9000 x 6000 pixels set at 300 ppi. My problem is that when I export this, with the dimensions set to width and height in pixels and resize unchecked LR4 produces an image that is 9000 x 4887?
what i'm doing wrong here? Is it simply that the aspect ratio of image is wrong to produce this size image? My concern is not producing an exact file size for printing.

When importing 300 raw pictures from the camera with LR5, the software crashes 10(!) times. I import the pictuers to a external HDD. The pictures where converted to the DNG-format.
When importing with the photoloader from mac os x everything went fine.
Is it possible to have multiple Identify Plates, in one print format that has multiple images, in the print format? Some my clients want printed formats that have multiple images in the print and want titles for each image in the print format.
I have been using a trial version of LR 4 and would like to know if LR can use the format of "MM-DD-YY" for the subfolder of the destination folder. My many years of files are organized by the "YYYY" top folder then "MM-YY" then by date of shooting, "MM-DD-YY" within the corresponding month. Is this possible or must I continue to rename the folders after import?
