If I want to share my presets shoudl I click "process version" when creating my preset? what happens if I click it (I am using lightroom 5) and somone uses lightroom 3 or 4 with the preset? What if I DON'T click it and they use lightroom 3 or 4 with the preset.
View 1 RepliesIn some cases I like the way Nikon processes the image on my D7000 and the resulting jpg image. If I could just use a preset to get the same result from a RAW file it would save a bit of time.
I assume Nikon is using some formula to come up with that 'look' and so any preset to create the same image from a RAW file created by either the D7000 or a D3 or D700? Or maybe they do it dynamically dependent on some image content logic? There are presets for film types, so maybe there are some presets for internal camera processing modes?
I successfuly imported my LR 3 catalog to LR 4. At first, all photos looked as like as I had them processed in LR 3.
But by entering the developing module, sometimes there comes the suprise: After LR 4 loads the data, it changes in some cases the NEF-photo suddenly to a complete different look (for instance much brighter)! From that time on the preview and even the LR 3 snapshots are likewise displayed in the altered way. By the way, this happens before I change the photo to the 2012 process version! (When I change it to the 2012 process version, LR 4 uses the altered photo, not the in LR 3 originally processed one.)
I didn't find out yet, which photos are affected. It seems to me that the problem appears mainly with the more post processed ones (for instance sunset and dusk photos where I had massively to reduce the contrast).
I have been using LR for ages at work and recently got offered a free full version of LR 4 by Amazon Vine programme. I happily installed it on my laptop and imported my presets which I mostly created myself.I was shocked to find that they look completely different on LR 4 (last version I used was 3.4) and found out that this is due to the new process version.
I have to tweak a LOT and still am not satisfied with the results. The main problem seems to be that ALL photos start with a linear curve, no matter which custom curve the preset contains. Is this a bug or a feature?It is really getting on my nerves and I am considering to go back to good old LR 3 again. Questions I have:
1. Could this problem be due to the fact that I did not to an upgrade but installed a completely new version of LR3?
2. Whenever I google I find the hint that there should be a dialog menue like this URL... this dialog never appears on my LR version. Or it did for the first time and I clicked "Don't show again" - I can not remember If I did chose to not show it again - can I redo it? Maybe it would make the tweaking easier if I had a preview which I absolutely don't have on my LR version.
I work in a studio where we use a DNG workflow - delivering DNG files to prepress. We are currently upgrading to LR4 to support some new cameras. Long story short, our prepress provider is using PSCS5 (and ACR 6.7) which means we'll need to keep our work in process 2010 for the forseeable future.
Given that I'll be sticking with process 2010 for a while, is there a way to turn off/disable the little exclamation point version warning?
I have just purchased an Olympus OMD EM5. When I download images to Lightroom (v4.4) I have to manually convert to Process 2012. Am I doing something wrong? Why does this not happen automatically?

How can I do this several (or all) at a time, instead of individually editing each one, using my Photoshop Elements 11 or 12? I cannot find an action for this in the action menu. If not possible within Elements, is there anything "free," or do I have to get Creative Suite or the like?

I recently learned using presets in LR. I currently use LR5.2.
I recently installed a few third-party presets to LR.
I am very happy with the performance of these presets.
Here is a problem: I have many LR catalogs.
Is there a way to install all presets to catalog whenever I create new one (just like a default preset) and also to old catalogs?
how do you create a preset in LR 3.6 to be used in the develop module?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently use LR5.2. In camera calibration panel, there are a few options for camera profiles, e'g., camera landscape. I created a "camera landscape" preset, which did not work. It seems that there are some missing checks in "new develop preset" box. As seen in the attachment, i placed checkmarks only in front of "process version" and "calbiration". This was not enough. It seems that the box might need more checkmarks to produce a workable landscape preset.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find my way, of how to submit my photos to the external lab for printing. Print module is kind of useless for me - the page setup is printer driver dependant and none of my installed printer drivers allows me to define borderless print and so LR does not allow me to set margins to zero. I think, that such desing limitation is pretty strange, especially if you just want to print to the jpeg file.
So - then I moved on to the crop tool. What a bunch of inconsistencies and design limits:
- LR seems to use some kind of catalog dependant storage, instead of just some for e.g. custom XML or other kind of list
- LR mysteriosly remember your last 5 settings. If you do a mistake, you need to reenter all of them again
- you can't even name your custom ratio settings - that's imo pretty much insufficient
- I need to set precious ratio setting for the Noritsu machine, so that I get exact resolution. Good for two of my settings, but when I try for my 13x18cm (2268 x 1625 pix), LR deletes my custom setting and marks 5x7 for me. But it is off by 10 pixels on one axis! Some strange rounding and matching was applied, but I can't it set exactly to what I need. Why does LR mess with what I want, if I select custom ratio?!
So I thought, that I might make a preset. I noticed, that when you copy setting from an image, there is a crop section. But - exactly the same dialog, which allows us to save settings, does miss a crop section. What a bummer! I found xy requests, where ppl were asking for the functionality few years ago. I am very negatively surprised, that it was yet not granted for implementation, especially as some of crop tool facilities are pretty arcane at best.
What I am now thinking about is to prepare three model images, make separate folder for them, and use them as a source for the cropping setting to copy from, but of course I would like the crop functionality to be enhanced/fixed.
Is there any way to stack preset filters on photos?
I remember back in Lightroom 3, you could select some filters, like Cold Tone, then select another filter and would apply itself on top of the Cold Tone filter.
Now, it seems in Lightroom 4, every time you select a filter, it completely overwrites all the settings of previous ones.

How the PMS color palettes "simulate" on screen how the color will print on different substrates (glossy vs matte vs uncoated paper). That's great for comps, but if you convert it to CMYK to print it, and the values are representing a "simulated" color it won't look correct (by that I mean come close to matching the spot color). For example, the uncoated palette simulates the color by making them appear a bit washed out on screen - pretty good visual simulation. But it might do so by adding black and cyan to orange for example, etc. - effectively dulling the original color.
So if I convert that to CMYK within the new Pantone + color palette, and then send it to the printer - it won't appear as it did on screen, it will dull the end color even more because it's converted the color to the dull simulated version - what a disaster! It's only doing half the job - showing us what it should look like on screen. In order to be truly efficient for design professionals the CMYK conversion might remove black and cyan completely to effectively brighten the color in the final output on uncoated paper. I would prefer it just stick to the standard conversion, which Pantone did have as a standard palette option (PMS to process), and then I can adjust if I think it's necessary.
Any corporate branding system will likely start with a PMS spot color palette for the identity. Then it will build into many different adaptations - full color brochures, large format banners and trade show graphics, website, advertising. So any corporate branding system will need to have PMS, CMYK and RGB versions of their main corporate color palette. There was a standard for these translations that was automatically consistent in the Adobe software and that is now all over the place, so it relies on individuals manually adapting the color mixes for final use - what a great way to screw things up.
I have to process about close to 400 pictures every weekend which takes a lot of time when doing levels and everything on every individual picture.
I need to create a preset that will do just that on 400 pictures but will make adjustments based on each individual picture's needs. I have tried to work on 1 picture while have the rest selected and Auto Sync selected. But what it does then is to apply the same values on all selected pictures and not "auto" for every individual picture.
How do you make your own lightroom pre set for editing images? so when you have a lot of images, and then you can select them and apply the same pre set.
