n Lightroom, I want to rename my images, based upon the image name and its mapping in a CSV file. Ideally, I would want something like this:
When the user after editing goes to Export under File menu. Inside the File Naming panel above, one should be able to input the CSV file containing the mapping. Hence once exported, the new Images will be named consistently with what I need rather than the default ones provided by LightRoom.Using the plugin LRTransporter one can do it while Importing images (storing the new name under Caption and then renaming all using Batch Rename). But it is tedious. What I need to know is that, can we build such plugin which can do it? If yes I would move ahead with constructing it.
Is it possible to have Lightroom rename the source images according to my custom naming convention?
I just imported 278 photos and they are all correctly renamed within Lightroom however the source files retained the original Canon generated names. I want to rename them for backup/in case I ever decide to stop using Lightroom/etc.
I have a publish service to hard drive already set up and running. I have decided that I want to change the names of the files I am publishing (exporting) to be written as the name of the keywords applied to the photos.
I have gone through the motions, Ie: right click on the publish service --> Edit Settings --> Check Rename To: --> Drop Down to Custom Settings --> Insert Keywords --> Save
I then mark everything to re-publish when prompted. I then click publish.
Lightroom then re-publishes all the files, however it uses the native filename (Ie: It says it will export them with the new filename, however it doesn't actually do it). I have found that if I do the process manually, for each specific folder, it works. However, I have several hundred smart folders set up and it wouldn't make sense to do this.
Seems like a probem that needs fixing. I have tried on both Lightroom 3 and now on Lightroom 4 as well.
I want to rename images imported from a card into Lightroom 4.4 with a single set of initials followed by a sequence of unique numbers. I would like the number sequence to continue from one import to the next. However, each time I start a new import, Lightroom starts again at 00001. Is there a way to instruct Lightroom to automatically continue the renumbering sequence from one import to the next WITHOUT manually resetting the "start" number each time?
I want to change the names of my files to YYYMMDD-City-State, type of format.. I tried using the file naming template but all that show on the photos is the date.file extension.
My continuing story of space issues. Find that I'm rapidly running out of space now that my wife has been uploading way too many 24 mpixel files (~30Gb total) to my Lightroom 5 catalog. Is there any way to export her RAW files to a thumb drive or another external hard drive? The only export functions I see are conversions to Jpegs.
last week no problems exporting images at all come yesterday I get a screen saying ' An unexpected error occurred. This photo was not rendered. ( 1) ' this seems to occur for all images I have in LTRM
Recently I upgraded to Lightroom 5.0. I have been noticing that when I export images at 1000px max and 100% quality, the image is very grainy. I can open that same image in Photoshop CC from Lightroom, resize the image to 1000px max, and save, and the image looks great.The first photo is the Lightroom 5.0 export. The second is the Photoshop CC resize and save. never had this issue with any earlier version of Lightroom and I have been using it since version 1.0.
I have recently switched from a Mac Laptop to a PC desktop. After I export my images they are really pixelated. I am not sure if lightroom is different for a PC. I have the same settings picked too.
When I export my images, the results are not nearly as good quality as on my screen. In fact, I have to throw out perfectly acceptable photos after I have completed editing because they are way too noisy after export!
I am exporting images from a folder in LR4.1 to another folder in LR while changing the name, and changing to a JPG. I have done this to 95 other images, placing them into multiple folders with multiple subfolders with no problems. Now I have created another subfolder and have tried exporting 8 images into this folder but LR doesn't show them. LR shows the folderd with the name greyed out and a file count of 0. I go to the hard drive and find all 8 images in the same (greyed out LR folder) location. Why is LR unable to see these files?
I have exported other files to other folders but when I go back to trying to export to this problem folder it doesn't work.
I had a problem exporting editing images to DNG. Lightroom will only export the original unedited versions to DNG. If I export to JPG I get the edited versions, but it will not export the edited versions to DNG.
I've been able to copy images in an indirect way (LR to an earmarked folder on my PC's hard drive, then to the iPad using Apple's I-Tunes). But editing and arranging images is fairly awkward.
There are LR functions to upload to some web sites, e.g., Flicker, but none to devices like the iPad. (Exporting to smaller sites such as Nikonians would be nice but I suspect there's not enough demand for Adobe to bother with this embellishment.
Is it likely that export functions will be expanded to include the iPad and other devices?
I have been trying to get Lightroom to execute a PS droplet after exporting a set of images. The droplet runs a set of actions which performs certain sharpening and NR steps. What I've been noticing is that if the number of images is too high, the droplet execution fails. Apparently, if the number of images is past 40-50, multiple droplet commands are passed to PS simultaneously and causes PS to fail. PS cannot execute actions simultaneously on multiple images at the same time. The error returned is "Could not complete the Play command because the action is already playing".
Here is what I've discovered by experimenting with droplets on the command line without LR initiating them:
There is an inherent limitation in the number of characters that can be pass to a command in the Windows OS. That limitation is right around 2048 characters. For example, if I want to pass 30 images to a droplet for execution, the command would look like:
If the total number of characters in this command is more that 2048, the droplet crashes because you have exceeded the string limit of characters for Windows. If your source directory path is long enough like, C:UsersMynameDocumentsMy PicturesTalent Show 2008, each image can use up 50 or more characters within that command. You exceed the limit with just 40 images. My suspicion is that if you export more than this limit, LR breaks up the export into a series of droplet executions by executing multiple droplet commands. I confirmed this because as I increased the number of images exported out of LR, or placed them deep in the directory hierarchy, I can see more and more droplet commands being executed in Task Manager simultaneously. As soon as I pass 40 images, 2 droplets start running, and PS fails due to the error I previously mentioned.
What I don't know is why LR executes them simultaneously? Why not in series so that they will not "clog" up PS?
I'm exporting images to an FTP server, via the FTP plugin, and it's moving kind of slow. I'm on an extremely fast line, 10mbps up. When I use an FTP client and drop the images in the directory, it screams fast.
I'm using Windows Vista and my client is using a new Mac. We are both using Lr 4 along with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Elements 11.
When we export images to CS and PSE copies are created in the Lr filmstrip as expected and CS6 and PSE open as they should. Unfortunately, the images do not open in these programs as they should. We have to manually retreave them from the folder. What would be preventing the images from opening. It happens when we choose Export and Edit In...., but does not happen on my daughters computer which is operating with Windows 7.
Just upgraded from LR4 to LR5.3.Just got new laptop (Windows 8.1 64-bit OS)TIFF images exported from LR5 are causing (many) warnings when stitching panoramas using Hugin.Hugin works fine (no warnings) with TIFF images exported from LR4 on prior laptop (Win Vista)Hugin warning message: TIFFReadDirectory Warning: unknown field with tag 59932 (0xea1c) encountered.Images are being exported from Nikon D800 NEF RAW filesPanorama stitching still works, but I am getting about 50-100 warning dialog boxes.
Is there a LR5 setting which allows me to prevent LR5 from including tag 59932 in TIFF images?
I used to be able to export images to a selected folder on my hard-drive without having to identify the folder for every image. Now when I export I need to select the folder on my hard-drive for each image even thought I'm going to process 50+ images for that folder. I'm using Lightroom 5.
LR 3.6 has serious limitations causing what should be an easy task hours to trouble shoot. Exporting original size JPEG images to DVD should be a no brainer but the application was not built to handle MS OS 7 64bit. Choice is to upgrade to LR v 4 but will it work?
After I've exported through LR 3 I am getting different tone qualities only with two different image viewing windows. The picture attached shows the example of the image on the left opened with Windows Photo Viewer is brighter red tie and bluer suit while the one on the right is opened with Microsoft Photo Editor is more darker red and purple suit. The one on the left is the correct image.
This is also happening when the photo is sent through an inventory management system we have. I am exporting with 600 x 1200 jpeg resize 72 dpi at sRGB, 100 quality, and jPeg mode in File settings.
I've recently encounterd a problem while trying to export images out of Lightroom 4. I keep getting an error messge "File canot be written." This is happening whether I'm exporting a Jpeg or a raw file. Cannot figure what has happend but it's doing it with old and new files, so it's not an issue of a corrupted file.
When exporting images LR no longer recognizes my hard drive or external hard drive, only sees the desk top icon. I tried a new catalog and an old catalog and still the same.
I am trying to rename/renumber a folder of 100 pictures, so they are all in 3 digits, but remain in the order & have the same number associated with the same file. Right now the folder is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.. I attempted to do the batch rename through Photoshop to make the folder 001, 002, 003.etc, BUT when I did this, the first picture 1 turned into 001..which is great...but the old 2 turns into 002, but is actually what 10 used to be.
19 turns into 011 instead of 019 40 turns into 035 instead of 040
Why is Photoshop changing the original number to a 3 digit, but changing the number it should have been. I just want it to be 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, 012..
I seem to be unable to rename either layers or images if they are being exported. When I use alphabet letters to rename a layer, for example, GIMP toggles through tools. It is using shortcuts to open different things? . I have something checked or unchecked that will allow alphabetic renaming....where do I look ?
I have about 160-ish images I scanned in as .tif's (my scanner offers .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tif for saving scanned images as) @ 300-dpi. I'd like to batch export them all to .xcf (for future working with) and .png (I know I could have chose png to start but I thought .tif would be the better choice as a first format). Is it possible to do this with a shell-script? I'm fairly certain I could concoct something to .tif -> .png using ImageMagick (I don't think it supports .xcf) but I'd like to use The GIMP for the whole process if possible, and I'd rather not do it by hand. As it is I'm going to have to figure out how to batch-rename (well, I know how I'm going to do it, a shell script, but how to write it is going to be the tough part for me) about 100 if the images to prepend a 0 to the file name (I started with a two-digit numbering system not realizing I had so many images and would like to keep all the names listing properly on FreeBSD).
Anyway, If such a shell export-to-xcf-and-png script is even possible (I really, really do not want to do this manually).
I am trying to do a rename of several files at once, but I would like it to use a Custom Name WITHOUT a sequence on the first file. I should be able to select several files and the first file will get the custom name, the second file will get -2, then -3, and so on. If I select 30 files, the first file gets the custom name correctly, then the second file get -31, then -32, and so on. It is counting the number of files I have selected, and then renaming them based on that count!!
The way I have to do it now is to select the first file, do custom name, then select the rest of the files and do sequence.
