Can not get stacks to unstack. All solution leads to the removal of the stacked photos. True for both stills from videos and imports from Photomatix. I do not like usinig stacks anyway - is there a way to allow me and not Lightroom to decide when theya re to be used?
Want to change the UI presentation of the stacks . Can stacks br ordered items like file name, attribute, etc. Looked at the LR3 PDF and it appears mute on the subject of stacking presentation order. Is this possible in LR3? Is it something new in LR4?
I want to get started correctly with keywords, catalogs, stacks, and other indexing tools. I have about 400,000 images on 3 external USB3.0 drives that I want to index.
I have my OS folders organized by date taken, then into OS subfolders by file type: RAW, jpeg, Tiff and PSD. Under jpeg I have subfolders for various size images: web size, thumbnails, email size and print size. This means that I can have up to six versions of the same image. It seems like an ideal situation to use Stacks but I tried that and found that a Stack cannot contain images located in different OS folders. I don't want six different versions of the same image to appear in Grid view or in the Filmstrip but I do want to index them just like a stack would do.
Somewhere between LR 3.4 and LR 4.3, the behavior of applying a keyword to a collapsed stack changed. It used to be that the keyword was applied only to the top photo; now it is applied to all the photos.
This behavior occurs only for adding keywords; if you delete keywords or change flag, label, date, caption, etc. it only applies to the top photo in the stack.
Did I miss a feature announcement in the release notes? [URL] .........
I am using LR 5.3 for real estate photography using bracketing of sets of 3. Then creating stacks by capture time in LR. I would like to know if I can apply a preset to ALL of a specific number of a stack (such as all #1's, all # 2's or all #3's - when expanded of course) at one time rather than manually selecting all number 1's and then adding a preset; etc?
So I have to say I love LR4, the only prob is if I capture a frame from one of my videos I cant access it. When I go to grid mode just like Julieanne does my captured photo is stacked on top of my video & I cant select it to edit it.
After editing in perfect photo I cannot unstack the edited photo in LR4. The thumbnail shows the number of photos in the stack, but right click/expand stack has no effect. The edited photo is not showing.
How can I unstack an entire group of images all at once. It's a real pain to do it one at a time especially if you have hundreds. I have some stacked and some unstacked images in a group. If I 'select all' I can't unstack the stacked ones. If I select more than one stacked image I can't unstack both at the same time.
when i type a fraction in a label the fraction is alwas stacked i have to unstack the fraction but when i unstake the fraction the fraction show up like this 1 1#2. any thoughts about how to fix this? this only happens on one computer when a different user use that same drawing the fraction always show up unstaked 1 1/2.
Any way in Photoshop to mimic the blur that OS X Stacks (specifically the grid view) does when you open it. If you check it out, you will see that it blurs anything below it. How to do this in Photoshop or on the web?
New user of Photoshop Elements Organizer 11. I have been labelling hundreds of people using the facial recognition feature in the organizer. On reviewing them I find occasionally 2 stacks with the same person, likely caused by spelling errors. Even if I change the name to match the correctly spelled people stack, the 2 stacks remain separate. How do I combine them into a single people stack?
Organizer 11 imported my v.9 category and subcategory tags and converted the people-centric ones into stacks within groups. Sub-category tags still appear present appended to images within the stacks in People mode but are not listed and do not seem accessible in Media mode. Is there a way I can assign these "ghost" tags to an image in the same easy drag & drop way as those listed as keywords in media mode (or make them accessible in media mode)?
One thing I don't like when you do a search and some results are included in stacks of version sets, it that you are shown the best matches with the non matches indicated by a special icon. Then you can't have the option to 'select only best matches'.
An example : Suppose you usually shoot raw and keep only the best edited jpeg in a version set together with the original raw. You want to delete the original raws when there is an edited jpeg in the version set. You can perfectly use the search by details for files in a version set and filename with the raw suffix.
How can you select only the 'best matches' in the result of the search ? Unless there is a way to do that easily, I would like to introduce a feature request to add 'show only best matches in stacks/version sets' in the option menu of the result of the search.
You could : - select all the results and expand all stacks and version sets - assign a temporary keyword like 'IsInVersionSet' to all - do a new search by detail for 'IsInVersionSet' and filename ends with raw suffix - Select all and delete - remove the temporary keyword.
That would work for version sets with only one original and one edited jpeg, not for multiple files in a stack or version sets, the info about stacks or sets would be lost.The only method I have found to do the selection and deletion with keeping stacks and version sets is:
- create a catalog copy (copy of the whole catalog folder) - in the new catalog, use the above procedure to delete the raws - in the old catalog, find missing files and delete them from catalog.
I uninstalled Lightroom, because it was too slow on my computer. It put a lot of library files and directories in My pictures folder.
When I use a backup program (SyncbackSE) to backup my pictures, it starts to scan all the Lightroom library files and it takes forever (hours and counting). Even though Windows cannot find the directories (with hidden and system files shown). I want to completely delete the Lightroom directories, because now I can't backup my images anymore. It is a pain in the dark places.
Before, I could do a Command-E to open in Photoshop, do a Save As (to the Desktop, for instance) and it wouldn't get put into Lightroom. Now when doing a Save As from Photoshop, the edited file gets put back into Lightroom. What am I missing?
I uninstall this program and I did delete every word of Adobe Lightroom from my registry many times. Reinstall the program again hoping to start fresh and new but still most of the keywords are there. I am really thinking to do a major surgical operation to my PC by formatting my hard drive.
I just ordered a mac to put in a spare office and according to my LR5 retail box it has both the win and mac version on the DVD however when I view the files on the disc I only see a 64 & 32 bit windows .exe even when i view "all hidden files and folders"
So i was wondering if there's a reason I'm not seeing the .dmg on the DVD, If I download the .dmg I can see the .dmg file on my pc so i was curious why i can't see it on the dvd. the dvd is 1.2 +GB but the "visible" files on the DVD equal just over 800MB
I am basically just trying to find out the logical reason why it looks this way before my mac computer arrives because I keep asking myself if I have a bad dvd or is there a simple reason why I can't see the .dmg on the dvd.
There's no way this is possible is there? I only just discovered how to add more than 5 rows, but can't figure out the filename display in the advanced settings.......
I was just reading an article at CNET about DNG in Lightroom 4 and it appears that Adobe quietly ushered in several improvements such as fast load previews. What I'm not entirely clear about though is whether that will only apply to newly created DNG files or to existing ones as well.
Adobe updated the spec on DNG formats for Lightroom 4 according to this article and I'm wondering about what this might mean in the longterm to DNG files that were converted in the past and whether old ones can or should be updated to the latest spec.
It took so long to learn Bridge and PS, that I was never going to bother with Aperture or LIghtroom, but well know photographer was praising Lightroom at seminar, look dazzling, so I got it. But with CS3 incorporating much of it, what the point of having it? Are there indispensible things that Lightroom does for you that CS3 will not? I'd like to hear.
I've been messing with Adobe Lightroom, and its a pretty slick app. One issue I seem to be having though, is my metadata. I have applied metadata (IPTC) to all of my files, and I'm supposed to be able to search on it (they all have my name as the creator)
I currently work with Lightroom 2 and plan to purchase Lightroom 4. When installing 4, are all existing library files automatically transferred? I plan to purchase a hard copy of Version 4 as contrasted with an on line update from 2 to 4.
