Lightroom :: Upgraded 4.2 - Edit In External Now Loses History

Oct 10, 2012

Updated to LR 4.2, then when switching to 'edit in' Photoshop CS5 getting "This version of Lightroom may require photoshop camera raw plug-in version 7.2". However, checking for updates in Photoshop CS5 says all up to date as does LR. In the dialog I would say 'Open Anyway' and at some point I must have clicked the button to no longer show this message.
 
Now when I 'edit in' PS and come back to LR there is no entry in History, it's blank. In the past I would see one entry 'edited in PS' and then make further LR edits from there if needed. What happens now if I make an edit in LR I can't 'Reset' back to the original 'edited in PS' to start over because that doesn't exist in History. If I reset it will reset just above the last LR edit. This is awaful and has screwed up my workflow. It's damaged several PS -> LR edited images.
 
After LR 4.2 upgrade LR still showed an older version of RAW. Somewhere after I unchecked that box to stop the message, now when I look it says Camera Raw 7.2 even though I didn't do any further updates, and both LR and CS5 had reported they were up to date.
 
EDIT/UPDATE: I just found 'Reset all dialog boxes' in LR preferences and now I get the message again. It appears before I checked the box 'Don't show again' the last time I also clicked 'Render using Lightroom' rather than 'Open Anyway' which I was doing before that.
 
Now PS CS5 About -> Plug-in - Camera Raw is 6.7.0.339 and Lightroom 4.2 is Camera Raw 7.2 (?)
 
Windows 7 64 bit | LR 4.2 | PS CS5

Lightroom :: 4 Loses Data On External Drive

Feb 26, 2013

I was working with a client on a move of folders from an internal drive (Mac OSX) to an external drive.He created a dummy folder, via LR, on the external drive so that he could drag and drop from the internal drive to the external.
 
The folder was created, but the hard drive itself now appears as a FOLDER, not as a drive, under /volumes.
 
He renamed the drive, from within LR, and all hell broke lose.  The name changed in LR, but not on the desktop.  We couldn't rename on the desktop as the two names conflicted I'm guessing.  We ended up shutting everything down, full reboot and the drive would not unmount.  We forced that, closed down and restrted everything.  Still had the naming conflict.  LR didn't see the folder, so we rnamed in LR and got everything aligned.  Or so it seemed.
 
Dragging folders to the external drive appeared to work OK, but one folder was inadvertently dropped on the folder above the target folder.  It was dragged and dropped to the correct location, but then showed 0 images.  A check with finder revelaed that the files were in the new location on disk, but LR has lost them.
 
Today, having moved all files (via D&D) to the new drive, he is trying to reorganize folder, but every D&D on the drive results in the above behavior.

Lightroom :: How To Edit History After Making Some Changes In Develop

May 17, 2012

I am trying to edit the history after making some changes in Develop.

I have highlighted the last (ie top) entry in "history" and used CTRL and Z.

I get the "undo" message on the screen.

However, the bit of history I am trying to get rid of stays there.

It was working fine yesterday.

Lightroom :: How To Save Edit History When Moving Files

Oct 13, 2013

How can I move pictures without losing history (exposure changes, crop changes, etc)?  I have LR4 and am using DNG files.  No matter how I move files (move the folder within LR, move the folder than then re-sync in LR, etc) it always loses the History.  I've searched and have found numerous "tutorials" on how to properly move files but can't seem to be able to keep the History along with it (I get the last state of the image, but not the actual history itself).

Lightroom :: Error When Trying To Edit In External Editor In V4

Mar 11, 2012

I have an external photo editor set up so when I choose "edit in" it goes to that editor, not photoshop.  I am getting the following error "Unexpected error performing command: bad argument #1 to 'lower' (string expected, got nil)".
 
I have tried repairing and reinstalling the program to no avail.  I have tried setting up a different program for the external editor, same problem.
 
This is working as it should in Lightroom 3.6.

Lightroom :: Filmstrip Of 500 Plus Images - Edit In External Editor?

Feb 10, 2014

I have a filmstrip of 500 plus images. Sometimes I need to "Edit in an external editor" on an image, in my case Elements 11. On selecting, EDIT IN, the original image plus the Elements 11 editied image move along to the end of the filmstrip. I then have to go to LIBRARY module, grid view and move both of these images back to their original location at the filmstrip. That is ok if you only have a few images but time consuming when you have 500 images.

Lightroom :: Returning From External Edit - Saved Photo Not In Original Location In Folder

Apr 16, 2013

When I edit a photo in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 and save it back to Lightroom, the photo ends up somewhere else in the folder than it's original location.  This is a hassle as my folders can have hundreds of photos.  Is there a setting that will place the file back to where it came from?

Photoshop :: Saving Edit History Of An Image

May 11, 2009

I am using PS CS3. I would like to know if it is possible to save the edit history of a file - for example if I open a file I worked on a week ago I want to be able to find out what work had been done to it (eg levels, sharpening, curves etc). As far as I know, history is lost after a file is saved (in a flattened image).

I click on the brush and zero out all the sliders except for exposure, for example.  I adjust settings for brush and start brushing on targeted area.  Nothing happens and mask overlay does not show red on brushed area.  Am using Mac 10.6.8.  I also have multiple upgrade catalogs - Lightroom 3 Catalog-2, and -3, and -4.  I would prefer to have just one.

Lightroom :: New V4 Adjustment Brushes Not Available In Upgraded V3 Catalogue

Mar 12, 2012

I have installed the trial version of Lightroom 4 but after upgrading my Lightroom 3 catalogue I am not able to access the new adjustment brushes such as noise etc. on any image from the upgraded catalogue -  If I import a new image then all of the new functions are available.  Is there something else I need to do to allow me to use the tools on the existing catalogue? I have tried deleting the “Lightroom 4 Catalog.lrcat” importing the catalogue from within LR 4but I get the same result.

Lightroom :: Importing Loses Raw Edits From Other Applications

Jan 30, 2012

I used to have an old Canon XTi. I used to use Canon's software, Digital Photo Professional, to edit the raw (CR2) and JPG files. Now I have a new camera and Lightroom 3. Everything is great, except when I try use Lightroom on the images that I had previously edited in DPP.
 
I have already imported all my old photos into LR3 in bulk. However, I notice that when I go to an old folder for the first time in LR3, it loads the previews in grid view sequentially. At first, they look like the edited versions I made in DPP. Perfect! This is what I want. I've spent a lot of time editing some of them in DPP and I now want to manage them and publish them from LR3. But as the images continue to load in grid view, the edits I made are replaced by the original raw images. Cropping is reverted to original, color balance, contrast, black and white, everything is reverted to a default.
 
Can I keep raw edits made in DPP so I have one definitive library? I can't find any import or catalog settings that seem to pertain.
 
I am using LR3.6 on OSX 10.5.8.

Lightroom :: Converting PSE7 - Loses Date And Time?

Dec 5, 2012

I converted my catalog from PSE7 to the latest version of Lightroom and it appears that many bad things happened with the dates that I had set on my pictures in PSE7.  In some cases, I can see that the Date Time Original and Date Created fields have transferred over but in most cases I cannot see anything other than the original date that I created the picture or brought it into PSE. Since many of my pictures were scans of 100+ years old pictures, I've now lost some important information that I added by using the Adjust Date and Time feature in PSE7. Is there any way to recover this?

Lightroom :: Exporting Book To PDF Loses Cover - How To Merge Them

Nov 27, 2012

I use LR4 for printing books via Blurb and have done a few that have turned out great. However I have a problem and can't find an answer.
 
I often want to export the book to PDF to share online but when I export it separates the cover from the book which spoils the whole effect.

Is there a way to export both book and cover as one single PDF?

Lightroom :: 5.3 Loses Rating And Labeling On Edited File

Feb 9, 2014

When I edit a photo in Photoshop from Lightroom (ie. Edit in -> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC...) the photo opens as normal, I edit the photo as normal, and when I hit save, it saves and the edited photo appears in Lightroom - all as per normal.  BUT, the edited photo doesn't have the rating and labelling applied to it that the non-edited photo has.  So, for example, if I have given a photo a 3 star rating in Lightroom, and then edit and save that photo in Photoshop, when the edited photo appears in Lightroom, it doesn't have a star rating anymore).
 
I've used Lightroom and Photoshop together for 6 years and never had a problem with this - the photo has always reappeared in Lightroom with the same ratings and labels that the non-edited photo has.
 
This is a real problem to use when we've filtered a bunch of photos to edit.  Everytime we edit one we have to go back to Lightroom, turn off the filtering, find the edited photo, add the ratings, turn the filtering back on and go to the next photo - a real pain when we have 50 images to do in a row..
 
I can only guess this is a bug with either the new Lightroom, or new Photoshop CC (guessing it is actually a Photoshop problem as I think it appeared around the time it was updated by CC, but I could be wrong).

Lightroom :: Unable To Find Photo - Loses Pic And Leaves SWP And TMP On Disk

Jun 2, 2012

Working Win 7 Professional (64bit), Lightroom 4
 
I am finding that while reviewing / rating my pics lightroom will often lose a pic (pics located within a folder on the desktop - move them to a nas drive later as faster to work from hard drive than accross the newtork when importing and exporting and creating previews etc). I will have a pic on my screen and then use the numeric keypad to rate the pic or the arrow keys to progress to the next pic and then out of the blue lightroom announces that the pic is missing. I look at the hard disk and find that there is now a .swp and .tmp file left in the directory where the pic was. eg below
 
I can then either rename the tmp file back to a jpg and all is OK but I have just started dragging another copy of the image from the card again. This is not just a lightroom 4 issue I used to have it in Lightroom 3. Its got to the stage where I am now keeping a copy of all images while I do my initial shortlist just incase I lose something which frustrates me somewhat.

I am trying to learn layers and layer masks.  I loaded an image, than control J to duplicate it.  I then added a layer mask.  Everything good so far.  I then went to filters chose a blur.  Then went to brushes with black as my foreground color, I just wanted to brush away the blur, and got an error message. "could not use the history brush because the history state does not have a corresponding layer."

Photoshop :: Could Not Use History Brush - History State Lacks Corresponding Channel - CS6?

Mar 24, 2013

Everytime I try to use my history brush, that error pops up and I have no clue why. If I try to just open a blank document and use the brush it does not give me this error and I can "use" the brush but you cant see anything on the project.

so when this error happens im trying to do a project and say I place a file(picture) into the project and this is the very first thing I do. I place it, then I size the image down some. I then make a new layer to use the brush for behind the picture and then this is when I get the error. I have no clue what is wrong
