I have Lightroom 5.3 and I can't get the watermark menu in the export dialogue box to scroll up or down. It's effectively stuck and I can't apply my 2014 watermark. I've tried deleting some existing watermarks in the main lightroom folder but it has no effect on the problem.
I am exporting thousands of shots for my website and I am making a customized watermark/copyright title for each collection. It is working fine except now I have quite a few customized watermarks which I probably will never use again. How do I remove these from the pull down menu?
After installation I went directly into the editor and right away I saw that the software was very sluggish with my cursor dragging . After clicking on a top menu (File) the menu bar open (5 sec.)and if I scroll it down I do not see the blue color following my cursor, and if I click at the location in the bar of my cursor it takes a few second before it respond. I am also using the following adobe softwares that works flawlessly : Photoshop CS5.5 extended; Bridge; Camera Raw; Lightroom 4.2. My computer uses an Asus P7P55-E Premium motehrboard with Win 7 pro 64 bits with an intel I 860 2.8 mhz and 8 gigs of RAM. All my adobe softs are 64 bits, except for elements 11. After seeing that, I installed the upgrades without any visible problems. Even after that nothing has improved.
I have to say that I have quite a few softwares installed that all work perfectly such has Topaz bundle; Photomatix pro, etc. In fact of all my softwares this is the only one that is giving me troubles.
I've been reading online that lightroom has the ability to control sliders in the develop module by simply hovering over the slider and scrolling. However this doesn't appear to be working for me. Whenever I hover over a slider and scroll, Lightroom attempts to scroll the right panel.
My system configuration: Mac OSx mountain lion Lightroom 4 (latest update) tried for raw and JPG files tried using the macbook pro 2 finger scroll, a microsoft USB mouse and a MacAlley USB mouse
is there anything special I need to do to make this work?
Is It possible to Zoom In/Out with Scroll Mouse In Lightroom, just like you can do that In Photoshop. Also, I noticed Inside the Library you can Zoom In and Out with the Zoom Slider In the Bottom of the page. But there Is no Zoom Slider Inside the Develop Mode, Why there Is no Zoom Slider Inside the Develop Mode ?
I am trying to edit an Adjustment Brush in the Develop module.
I want to fine tune the coverage area for the brush.
I can use Ctrl +/- keys to zoom in/out, and the Page Up/Down keys to scroll up and down when zoomed in, but there does not seem to be any way to scroll right and left when zoomed in. The key shortcut lists I've seen don't list anything for scroll left and right. How to scroll the image left and right when zoomed in ?
I cannot use my mouse scroll to navigate up and down the numerous folders I have in my library. I can grab the page bar and move up and down (and while I'm hovering over the page bar, I can scroll up and down with the mouse wheel) - but only when I'm actually over the folders, the mouse wheel doesn't work!
It works fine when I'm in develop mode and I can scroll through all the presets and history.
But when I'm in library mode, the mouse scroll doesn't move my folders up and down ?
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the arrow keys to scroll up and down folders and presets? I'm starting to get RSI from the mouse. Is there a way? I can't work out how.
My scroll wheel no longer works after installing Lightroom 4.4. In all previous versions, I was able to use my Logitech scroll device to adjust the sliders in the development panel. In the 4.4 version, the scroll wheel no longer works and instead of adjusting an individual slider, it scrolls the whole development panel up and down. I did uninstall the mouse driver and reinstalled but that did not work. The mouse works just fine in all other programs. I think it is a bug with the 4.4 version. I am operating in Windows 7.
I'm using LR 3.6 with the latest updates. I'm trying to add a watermark (which I've done befor and just did) and for some reason the program does not allow watermark as a choice. I can see the box,and the watermark dropdown tab, I just can't choose it. This is true of all my photos now even the one I just successfully added a watermark to.
I can scroll through a bunch of photos while in grid view with the right side slider when I am looking at a folder with 15,000 images or less, but when I click the All Photographs, there is no little slider button. The slider tray is visible, but no button to drag. The catalog has 180,000 images now.
I tried using a text search within my All Photographs which brought up 71,000 images. The slider showed up fine with that many images.
I'm currently using Lightroom 4.3 (although don't mind upgrading to 5.0 if needed).
I'm trying to find a way to add a border + watermark around an image upon export. A bit of background: I shoot music concerts and have a series of 20-30 images per show that I need this done, some are landscape some are portrait orientation. And keeping the correct photo order is important as I need to show the concert as it happened. I know it can be done in Photoshop via actions, but I'm really trying to move away from PS and do everything in Lightroom.
Pictures speak louder than words, so here is the before (without border or watermark) and the after (same photo, nothing lost, with white border around and the photographer name on the bottom right).
I have edited about 100 photographs over the past few weeks using Lightroom & Photoshop - stupidly, I was concentrating so much on ensuring that my images had a watermark on them, i managed NOT to keep a non-watermark version for sales.
Is there any way I can remove the watermark that is on the JPEG file without having to go through the hassle of re-editing them as it is unlikely I will be able to get the same results as before.
I should say that all of my files have been exported OUT of Lightroom & into a seperate file on Windows Explorer.
I only have my watermarked folder of a clients images. I always save one folder of watermarked, one high res for them. I have looked everywhere and even used a recovery program to try and find the original folders. So in short the only images I can use are the watermarked ones. Now when I import the photos, the thumbnails show the image without the watermark, and it isnt until they are being imported, one by one the watermark is being applied to the image i see.
So if it is being reapplied, then that means the image still exists separately from the watermark.Is there anyway to seperate the two without having the orignal file? Or to have the watermark not reapply when importing?
A big bummer that in the library grid mode (or any other scrollable part of lightroom) I can't scroll with my touchscreen monitor like I can in IE or Chrome or Word etc.?? What is touchscreen compatible in lightroom? I would love for lightroom to be touchscreen friendly.
Lightroom 4? My watermark is pixelated after export.
I've checked my logo everywhere else and it's wonderful, crisp and clean - including while resizing it in the preview for watermark setup, but for some reason it's pixelated and awful looking after lightroom export.
This is my logo: (click to view since it's gray)
and this is what it looks like on the image after export at 72dpi:
Here is both the image above, plus i've applied the same watermark in photoshop on the right and saved in photoshop:
How do I get the watermark to work in lightroom? worked fine in the trial but does not show up on photos now. I am starting to get very frustrated with it.
I'm using Windows 8 and LR 4.3. My watermark does not appear on exported images eventhough the box is checked in the export presets. Also many typefaces available in MAC are not in Windows. Where I might find the same typeface I use on my Macbook and add to Windows?
How to overwrite an existing watermark. For instance, let's say I have a watermark called "website" with opacity of 50.
If I want to change that opacity to 60, I go to Lightroom->edit watermarks (or pick it straight from the export menu), select that watermark, and change the opacity to 60. Now I have an option to save the watermark. I don't want it to be a new one, I just want it to overwrite the existing watermark with the name "website". But when I type that name in, it says that's already in use. So now I have "website 2", "website 3", "website 4", etc which are all the same watermark with small changes, because it wouldn't let me overwrite any of them when I made a change.
After I edited my Raw images shot by Nikon D600, I'd like to export them to Jpeg format with my watermark. The watermark will not show if I exported the images in original size (6016 x 4016) as shot. However the watermark works fine if I resize the images to a smaller size, such as 1200 x 1024.
I am a new Lightroom user. i can't seem to undo the permanent watermark that appears on my exported image. Tried as I may editing the watermark setting, I was not able to shut off the watermark appearance.
I created a PNG watermark in Elements 9 but when I try to import it into LR it's grayed out and therefor not selectable in the file selection window...
I'd like to export images from Lightroom 4 with a watermark. It COULD be text, but I want to rotate the watermark 30 degrees. I can't see a way to do that in the watermark editor in Lightroom...
Alternatively, I created the watermark in Photoshop, put in the text, rotated it, and saved it as a jpeg. I can't get a clear background. It appears jpeg doesn't support that. SO, I saved it as a .png (jpg and png appear to be the only two formats supported for a graphic watermark in Lightroom). It looks FINE, except in Photoshop the text is WHITE, which is what I want in Lightroom, but every time I open the .png file in the watermark editor in Lightroom, it comes in with BLACK text...
How do I get a Lightroom export watermark with the text I want in the font I want, angled the way I want?
