Lightroom :: Spot Removals Disappear When Choosing Edit In Photoshop CS5?
Jun 15, 2013
TI go over my photo and remove dust specs in LR5, then choose to edit the image further in Photoshop CS5 (Right click or Cmd+E -> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5). When the photo opens in Photoshop all the Spot Removals I have done are *gone*! I can not say I have noticed this before, and I have been using LR5 since it became available. But now nothing works - It keeps doing this, no matter how many times I close PS and LR and re-open. Spot Removal just keeps getting reset when I wanna edit a photo in Photoshop.
I shot a video of it, which can be viewed or downloaded here
I'm on an iMac 2013, OS X 10.8.4.
Photoshop CS5, Version 12.0.4 x64
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, Version 5.0
I've used Lightroom 3, 4 and now 5 so I know my way around the software pretty well. Never had an issue like this in previous LR versions. Basically, when I Spot Edit a spot (such as a speck of dust that was on the sensor or lens) there is alway s a "ghost" of the speck that remains, no matter what I do. The Opacity is set to 100, yet the tool behaves as if it is set to 90. It happens with Clone and Heal. I have also tried adjusting the Feather setting, to no avail.
Video editing is not currently supported in the Develop module.
I know that I can use a develop module preset to apply an edit from a captured frame of video. Most, but not all develop module settings are availalbe via this technique. One setting that is not is "spot edit heal".
I have a small dust spot that appears in every frame of video in a blue water background shot underwater with my housed Nikon D7100. Is there a way to remove it with Lightroom?
When using the Spot edit tool and my Wacom stylus it freezes lightroom for several seconds on certain files. Same file types and locations may not have the problem, but some do. Has happened on TIFs, PSDs and cR2s. The cursor disappears and will not show when placed over the LR window. I can access other windows and the cursor works fine. It does not tell me the program is not responding, but I can't do anything with it. After 30 seconds or so the cursor shows up and I can work. However, if I try to use the stylus and spot edit tool again on the same image, it will cause the cursor delay again. If I use my mouse, no delay. Sometimes it does not happen with Wacom stylus. From user stand point appears to be random which files it happens and which it doesn't.
I've been using Photoshop 6.x with my Intuos 5 for almost a year and it's been great. I recently purchased Lightroom 5.2 only to discover that when I use the spot edit tool that it freezes when i use this tool as a brush. It starts off smooth, but after brushing across my area i want to clone/heal, Lightroom seems to freeze up, and the spot edit tool is unusable. I can lift my pen off the tablet and a few seconds later Lightroom comes back, but the tablet is basically unusable to me. The mouse works perfectly fine.
All other edits I make in LR5 carry over to PS when I use the "Edit In" to move the PS to do additional edits, except edits that I made with the spot removal brush.
I just completed my first topo using Civil3D 2013 (yay!) and now I want to send it to a client. However, when I save it as an ACAD 2007 file and go to open it using ACAD 2007 the spot elevations and all text and symbols associated with them disappear. I can't imagine that you have to have Civil3D to view a Civil3D file. Is there something I can do here?
I did not create a survey database with these points, just imported the .txt file from the field.
I've got LR4 and a bunch of photos with 3 nasty dust marks.Spot Removal does not allow to mark one of these spots (the pointer does not turn into the marking circle).Probably LR cannot see it as needing repair.
In V12, for the large Catalog that I have converted from V8: After closing in the PSE Editor the edit of a photo, the horizontal red bar with the text "Edit in Progress" takes typically much too much time to disappear from the PSE Organizer. I am seeing this problem wrhen using the large V12 PSE Catalog (around 70'000 cataloged folto files, including the multiple versions within Version sets), that I have converted from PSE V8. With V12, typically for the jpeg photo Files that i have shot this year with my Nikon D5000, it takes around 16-18 seconds between
- the time where I complete within the Editor closing the edit - and the time until the red bar disappears from the Organizer.With V8, this took only a couple of seconds.
I noticed that for my older photos shot in 2004 wih a Canon compact camera (and originally cataloged with PSE Version V3) , in V12 this is much faster: a couple of seconds (I will need to measure that more precisely), even though I use the same V12 PSE Catalog, the same PSE Preferences and the same Windows 7 based PC for the tests with the recent photos of my recent D5000 cameras and for the tests with the old photos of my old Canon compact camera.
I do not understand, why these timing differences between the photos shot with my modern NIKON D5000 and the photos shot with my old Canon compact camera. There is a difference in the file size (around 3.4 MB vs around 14.MB ); but I doubt whether this can be the explanation.
Also, I noticed that in "Information --> Metadata --> GPS" the Organizer sjows me for my Nikon D5000 photos (just) the following entry: GPS Version 2.2.0.0 (something that is not shown for the photos shot with my old Canon compact camera). Myself do not use GPS datza (at least: not concsiously). There are probably also other differences in the Metadata.
I remembder that many years ago, I was seeing similar long times for some activities (I do not fremember which ones). After some investigations, it turned out that the reason for these long times was a component that was trying to adccess rersouces that were not located on my PC but were instead located remotely on the Laptop of my wife (which was in the same Windows Home networjk)
Sees in V12 long time for the red horizontal bar to disappear? Do you have an explanation for that?Some Notes about my current environment:
In the Preferences of the Organizer: All Media Analysis Options are disabled/unckecked: in the Preferences of the Organizer: Adobe Revel Agent is disabled and none of the Dialog fields in the "Adobe Revel" panel have been set..Thumbnails are all built (at least, this is my impression)t Watch Folder is diable. Killing the Elements.I have deactivated the Adobe Active File Monitors of all PSE Versions that I have installed - this did not work..I have not installed PRE V12 (but have previous Versions of PRE installed)
Has Lightroom 4 addressed the problem of choosing which monitor to show your secondary display? I know this was a requested feature on LR3. How do you set it?
The program keeps crashing/closing ( not freezing in screen) when I try to change the destination folder when importing.
i've not encountered tis problem before. It's just appeared since my upgrade to Lion.
It occurs regardless of the camera being used (or import from external HD). If I import to the currently selected folder everything works fine. And all editing functionality seems normal when working with images currenly in my LR library.
The crash occurs when selecting the destination folder and hitting "choose". That is to say it's before hitting the final "import button", and is definitely triggered by choosing the alternate folder.
I'm using Lightoom v5.2. My issue is whenever imporitng photos into lightroom, it automatically choosing the below given settings. Is there any way to disable this feature?
1. You have a base map with survey points inserted. 2. You create a sheet, xref the base map, freeze survey points in base map, insert survey points into sheet so they can be manipulated for visual clarity.
Problem:
In sheet drawing, using the edit xref-in-place command to edit base map causes the points to want to be reinserted and in a lot of cases, when the sheet drawing is re-opened, the points are completely gone.
With both tools, I can make a few changes and then both will leave a black brush spot. It works, and then it is like the program is too challenged & it just leaves a black spot. Sometimes if I move my mouse to the history panel to back up to get rid of the black spot I get a swipe of the tool all across the image when I'm reaching with the mouse to go back in history.
I have placed a photoshop file in illustrator CS, the file contains a spot channel transparency that I want to print as a pantone plate. When I print separations my spot channel prints as a shade of grey. Several other vector items (generated in illustrator) using the same pantone print as a solid 100% black. I'm worried that my file will print with the transparency part of my pantone as a shade of its self when I send the files to the printer.
Using LR 3.5.1. When applying Lens Corrections/Profile/Enable in Default, my Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 actual lens is being corrected by the profile for a Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 lens. I can tell it's the wrong correction because the barrel distortion after using the default profile is not corrected, and when I manually select the 4-5.6 lens the correction is perfect. So I know the right data is embedded in the LR correction data bank but is not being used.
I found that when I set the profile Setup selector to "Auto" the correct lens is selected and the correction it makes is "correct." But then moving to the next photo it switches to Default again, selecting the wrong lens, and so has to be set to Auto for each photo. This action doesn't seem to me to me an expected result called "Setup." I need this for my home interior photography, and with hundreds of photos a week I don't want to manually operate this. This didn't happen until v.3.4 or 3.5, I think.
So, how do I get it to select the right lens as the Default, or get the Auto setting to stick? Either would do. (Seems to me they logically are the same thing).
In addition, why isn't it possible to have the profile itself enabled as a default perhaps in a preset - or is that possible and I don't know how to do it? In other words, once it's working right, why not make it an import preset for that lens?
I'm running on LR 5.3, but this problem persisted in LR 5.2. Working in PS CS6 and Camera Raw 8.3. RAWs are NEFs from a Nikon D600.
I can't figure out what happened but suddenly I am not getting prompts when moving from LR to PS to "Edit Original" or "Edit a Copy".
I reset all dialog warnings and nothing. The prompt will appear for TIFFs but not for NEFs.
It's kind of pointless to not be able to choose to edit an original or copy with LR adjustments for a RAW when they are the file types that retain my RAW editing information.
Plus, when I do click on a NEF and choose to edit in PS without the prompt (it will appear with lightroom adjustments, not as original), it will open a second icon for photoshop on my dock, and prompt me to continue trial? I have a version of PS installed with the serial plugged in, and in LR "edit in PS" for a TIFF will open this primary version.
I am running Windows 7. Recently upgraded from LR 4 (which was always stable for me) to LR 5. I have the application on one drive and my catalog and previews on a separate SSD drive. Anytime I run lightroom 5, after a little while (10-15 minutes), the drive with the catelog and previews is no longer accessible or even viewable from windows explorer. I've never had this trouble with any other program and the only way I've been able to see the drive again is by restarting my computer.
LR5 Win7. I open a previously edited image in Develop module. I click on the first step of the history ("import...."). Immediately, all the history steps disappear, and a new step appears, "Post-crop vignette style: paint overlay." There are now just two steps in my history. When I try to click on the first/origial step, LR doesn't let me do that, it immediately jumps to (highlights) the "post-crop..." step. If I go to the Effects panel, the only option under style is "paint overlay." If I add a few more edits (change color, etc.) they work fine. But as soon as I click on the first history step, the same thing happens again.
Update as i work on this: if I click on ANY previous step in the history, LR adds the "Post-crop..." step at the top and does not then let me click on any previous step.
This does not happen with photos I have edited recently. It only happens with previously edited photos. I think it only happens with photos with 2003 or 2010 process, but it doesn't happen with all of them.
Then I tried opening one of these photos in the Develop module. I create a virtual copy, then go back to the original. I click on the first history step in the original, it does this strange thing described above. If I add more history steps to the original, then click on the first step, it also does this strange thing. However, if I add edits to the virtual copy, then click on the first step, it does not do this strange thing.
What I have tried:
-I have opened and restarted LR. -I have gone back to a catalog from a few days previously and it exhibits the same behavior. -I have tried updating the process before clicking on the earlier step, and this does not prevent the behavior.
I wanted to try to re-install LR, but when I try to download it, I get this message, "We're sorry, something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later."
When I am importing new images from my HDrive (where I want the masters) I choose ADD.the main folder is there ie GUJARAT and the subfolders are there too ie Gujarat 1, Gujarat 2 etc. When I close LR, and reopen, the folders have disappeared and do not show up under my HD on the left hand side. However, the photos are there in the main top folder which is my HD. When i locate the photo it does not say it is missing, however, the folder GUJARAT and the subfolders are not to be seen. Should I be choosing COPY instead of ADD? or creating a new catalog?Now, my folders and subfolders are not showing up, although the photos are still there..
I am using CS5 and in Filter > Texturizing there are just the four pre=set textures, Canvas, Burlap etc. In the older versions of Photoshop it was possible to choose a texture using a file of one's own. Is this possible n CS5 ?
I am using a font called Metron for a logo, but I am having some trouble choosing an additional font to accompany it for the the text used elsewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? The Metron font is quite distinctive, so it needs something that is unique in it's own right, yet subtle and unobtrusive and that offers a good balance with the Metron.
I have a winXP set up with and ATI Radeon X800 graphics card. I currently use a Lacie 22 Blue as my main monitor and a cheapo flatscreen to make it a two monitor set up. The Lacie is about 5 years old and I would like more desk space.
I would like to go to a 24 inch flat screen.
I don't understand all the techie stuff about monitors and I have been reading. Most reviews I've seen to do with monitors seem geared towards viewing HD video and video editing. I only work with photos.
I can't afford those high-end monitors although salivate when I see 'em.
I have a problem with Lightroom (=LR). When i use "the spot removal tool", there is only one circle, around the spot i want to remove. The other spot, that use to show the clean area that the tool is sampling from, does not come up.
When i left-click on the mouse, LR remove the spot, but i do not have any influance on where LR samples the clean area from.
I have just updated LR from version 4.2 to 4.3, but as far as i remember, the problem was there before i updated.
Lightroom 3.6 icon disappear from desktop and startmenu. The operating system is Windows 7 Home. The icon disappeare after a couple of weeks. I need to repare the installation.
I am replacing my existing 512MB GeForce 9800 GTX+ is because Photoshops Graphics accelerated features are really unstable with it. They either stop working or worse make Photoshop crash. Processing photos is the main use, I don't use it for gaming or anything.
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 CPU [code]....
How do you choose fonts to go with various images? Do you just cycle through the ones you got until you find what looks right? Or for certain things do you generally use a set of fonts, like this font that font and another font to use usually when making an ad (or go more specifically? and go for ceratin fonts when the subject matter is cars, as opposed to nature, as opposed to computers, as opposed to people etc.). Are there guides to choosing fonts that I just can't find? General fonts used with fantasy artwork, general fonts used with sci-fi artwork, fonts used with something else more broad or more specific?
And how would a knowledge of typography help exactly with choosing fonts, or would it help?
I'm just asking this out of pure curiosity, sort of... And the fact that I'm not too fond of trying to pick out fonts for an image/sig/something by having to cycle through all of the fonts that I have. I'm just wonderin' if, when I'm working on something more on the fantasy side, a certain group of fonts generally look better, or when with something else, another set of fonts generally look better.
Hi, I'm trying to merge photos that I shot for HDR from Bridge. When I select a few photos and use the command 'Tools/Photoshop/Merge to HDR/', the images open up in the dialog OK but the exposures it is 'guessing' are all wrong. It is selecting my underexposed shot as the 'EV 0', with my properly exposed and over exposed shots listing as 'EV +1.64' and 'EV -4' respectively. This is all wrong.
- Is there a way to change what Photoshop selects as the exposures?
I tried moving them, all sorts of click combinations, etc. It appears that they are stuck. When I shoot, it is -2EV, 0EV, +2EV.
Now interestingly, when I first open the photos in Photshop, then launch the 'Merge to HDR' dialog, adding the open files, it picks up the exposure just fine. This is just adding a few more steps to the workflow.
