Lightroom :: Photos Look Significantly Better On A Mac
Jan 6, 2014
I took some wedding photos recently and had the opportunity to see them on a Mac, after doing all my post processing on my PC, with what I thought was decently calibrated monitors (Huey Pro), Color Space ProPhoto RGB and 16 bits for Lightroom 5. For Photoshop CS6 I have sRGB for a Working Space (this was a surprise because I thought it was set to ProPhoto RGB). The edits I did on the wedding photos however were all done in Lightroom.
I am not wanting this to become a PC versus Mac arguement but wonder if it's possible to replicate the image quality one sees on a Mac versus a PC? The difference was so great, I was a walking advertisment to go out and buy a Mac!
I did not print a copy of the shot but I would be very interested in printing off a copy from my PC and then printing the same on the Mac, fully realizing that the printers are different but again, I have a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 on my PC the printer on the Mac is an HP all in one but I am interested if there is any difference. I would hope the output on my Canon would be better than on the HP.

I'm a mechanical engineer with a lot of experience working with SolidWorks, but no experience with AutoCAD. My boss has asked me to take a 44MB .DWG and compress it to under 15MB so that it can be viewed on his iPad to show to clients (using the AutoCAD WS which is limited to opening files smaller than 15MB). I spent hours doing this several weeks ago and was just barely able to get it down to the required size. However, I was never able to repeat the process and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure how I did it. Now I have to do it again for a different file and am struggling to do so.
Since the file is just going to be quickly shown to clients it does not need to have all 400 layers or any other kind of accompanying details. Hell I could merge all the layers together if that would reduce the file size and I knew how to do that. I'm not at my work computer right now, but I think by clicking options under save and removing all proxy images (or something like that) I was able to reduce the file size to around17MB. I've purged the file as well but that only removed a few KB.

1. Vectorising the images
2. using some software genuine fractals or Photo Zoom
Has any one experience of doing this and how effective were the results.

I made an artboard of 1500 x 1500 pixels with some type in it, the type was converted to outline. Then i descreased the size of the artboard to 150 x 150 pixels and the type (outline) became deformed, So I had to use Illustrator CS6 to do it. I decreased the size of the artboard and the path kept its orginal shape.

I made a PNG logo transparent, and when I go to save the new transparent logo in PNG format, the quality has dropped significantly from the original. I have done nothing other than delete the background of the logo, why is this happening in a lossless format? What can I do to fix this or increase the quality of the transparent logo?

My autocad 2012 installation runs slower when I have the network cable plugged in. This is very obvious when I run lisp commands.
I have a standalone installation with a drawing on a local drive, also SP1 is installed.

I'm a bit new to the concepts of point labels in C3D; I browsed around for a bit for a solution and haven't been successful. I'm having troubles with my point label styles in Paperspace - they appear about 25x smaller than in model space, but both are the same scale.
This is my label style setup:
This is how it appears in modelspace:
This is my viewport settings and how it appears in paperspace (zoomed in):
The text height in MS is 2mm, and approx 0.078mm in PS.

I'm unable to drag a group of photos or even single photos to a publish folder. In this case it's SmugMug. What is the correct method?

I copied photo folders from my hard drive to lightroom 4 and edited them but then accidentally removed these folders from lightroom. I then imported these folders again into lightroom but all the edits I made orginally in lightroom don't show up for the individual photo's.
I backed up the Lightroom catalogue regularily. Is there any way I can reattach these edits to their respective photos'. There is lot of photo's involved.

I add five photos to a folder in Lightroom 4.3. The photos are in the specified folder in Windows. Import shows the five photos as imported but greyed out and semi-highlighted. Library does not show these five photos. What can I do?

All kinds of stuff: web icons, buttons, etc..., adds. Should I add them all or are there types or categories of photos that would be fine to keep outside LR? If so, what kinds of photos would you add or not add? (I guess this question could apply to my past photos as well as future shots but perhaps, the answer would change slightly.)
how to add/import but nothing on what to add/import.

Why does LR4 not import ALL my photos from the selected folder on my portable hard drive? "Include Subfolders" is checked and "suspected duplicates" are allowed. The difference is about 10,000 photos per the info from Windows Exployer (approx. 175,000 vs 185,000 files). I can view the missing photos in exployer and not in LR4. I have tried deleting the catalog and starting from scratch. I have tried importing from subfolders. Sometimes I get different results, but not much different.

I can manually import photos to the correct location, or using a new catolog move / add the photos return to the last catolog to find half my photos missing. at this point LR allows you to 'find missing photos' If you find one missing photo it magically finds other missing photos from the same folder (exact same date) If Adobe would only allow its app to go out a directory or two when finding other missing photos this problem would go away for me, and its super easy to do, and it does not open up adobe to any new issues, only fixes a huge amount of mistakes.

In importing raw files as DNG the photos are coming in as b&w next to JPEG photos of same image in color. Why? I can change the b&w to color in the develop mode. How do I get the raw images to import as DNG in color.

since updating from lightroom 4 to lightroom 4.2 I cannot open new photos in My Pictures with lightroom - therefore, I cannot import new photos. I uninsalled the 4.2 - but I still have no option to open photos.

I used Lr2 on my old Mac and recently I installed Lr4 to my new Mac. I plugged in my external drives where I keep all my photos but I can't find them in my Library. How do I relocate all my photos to my new Mac using Lr4?

I imported 150 raw photos from my Nikon D5100 and edited them all.
Then I imported one raw file from a different SD card (same camera) into the same catalog and edited that photo.
Suddenly all 150 photos I had originally imported into my catalog in raw were now JPG.
The only raw photo in the whole catalog was the single one I brought in from the second SD card.
I didn't click any weird buttons. I didn't do any kind of export or extraneous things.
All I did was:
1. Import 150 raw photos and edit them
2. Import 1 raw photo from a second SD card and edit it
3. Suddenly all my 150 raw photos were JPG photos and not raw any more
I am using Lightroom 4.4 with OSX 10.8.3

I had upgraded from LR2 to LR3 about 6 months ago. It was working great, but the other night I opened LR and it seems like it has gone back to LR2 mode. All my recent work is gone and I have work that I had done in LR2. I even have assignments that I had done last semester, 2011 work. How can I get all my photos back?

I switched to LR4 right after it came out and I have never had any issues with it. A few days ago I noticed that my syncing isnt working properly and it is making what is supposed to be a quick workflow take forever. I import with a preset, then change contrast, blacks and such then sync all of the images with that. (this is the exact same process I have always used and I havent had any issues before) Only a few images actually sync, then I have to keep changing the settings to get back to what I originally synced to....I thought that I must have accidentally changed one of the settings or something, but when I tried it on my other computer, the exact same thing happened...

how I add captions to my photos? I have looked in the support. Read another discussion but option not coming up on my screen. I read that there should be an option in the metadata menu. But nothing comes up. Only camera settings and such.

I am working on a team of 3 photographers. And when we go to events, we syncronize our cameras in date and time so we can work easly in the editing stage. But the problem that I´ve encountered is that when I edit my photos in my lightroom and then export them, and then import them again with everyone´s pictures in the same lightroom, mine don´t mix, don´t syncronize with the times and dates of the other pictures and also, my red tags and stars don´t appear. And this is making us waste so much time, because the moments of a wedding for example, dont match and we have to order them manually...

When I emptied my MAC desktop trash, it somehow deleted my entire iphoto. I can still see all of my edited versions of my photos in LR, but it says they are missing. Because my trash was emptied, it says it can't find them anywhere. Is there ANY way to get them straight from LR. I already went to an outside source to retrieve and couldn't get good files, BUT i can see them clear as day on my LR.
