For some reason, (this started just a few days ago) every once in a while when I launch LR it launches the "new user" splash screen and asks for my country, but then it knows my serial numbers and I launch successfully.
Then upon launch, all of my info is gone...settings, presets, everything unique to me...it does a tour as if I've never used it.Also, my develop presets folder is completely gone...physically gone...and all the other folders are empty.
It happened once and I started all over again with all my purchased presets and my export presets and such but after the 3rd time, I got smart and dragged the whole "user>name>appdata>roaming>adobe>lightroom" folder to another partition and backed it up.
When I have this problem, I just drag that folder back to repopulate those other folders with the info and LR launches just as if nothing happened.
I have had GIMP 2.8 up and running the last month or so. Just last night, it wouldnt load up. It got to the: tools preset and, says it has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I havent updated anything lately, and havent installed any new fonts, scripts or brushes in weeks, with the exception of saving some brushes with the: paste as brush command.
I am running the version 2.8.4 on my compaq Notebook, Windows 7. GIMP 2.6 works fine if i downgrade.
I am having trouble getting my presets to show up under presets on the left hand side of the screen. They are still in develop presets but there not showing up and Ive tried deleting them and adding them again then closing out of lightroom 4 and going back in but I can not seem to get them to show up again. I must have hit something but there not showing up again
I have recenty had to reinstall all my software, and manged to find most of my old Lightroom settings in the Lightroom Presets folder (inside the Appdata folder on a PC) but I seem to have lost my custom tone curves.
Do you know which folder they should be in (indise the Lightroom Presets folder)
I STILL don't understand why there are TWO comminty forums for Lightroom;
When trying to print in Elements 11, after clicking "Print/Page Setup/Presets/Show Presets", the box freezes. Clicking Cancel or OK does not work. I then have to Force Quit Elements to clear it. Apple say that it is a problem with Elements. Using the same procedure in other applications, clicking Cancel or OK does work.
I always launch LR by double-clicking the catalog files for the images that I want to work in.... I have many catalogs so launching from the one I need is the simplest way. Installed 4.3 today, and now, double-clicking the catalog files does nothing... LR won't launch, nothing happens.
When I insert an SD card in my computer (or flash drive), Lightroom automatically launches. How do I turn this off? It is really interfering with my ability to get other work done on the computer since I put my flash drive in 20 times a day. I have Windows 7, and use Lightroom 3.
Just installed CS5.1 a couple of weeks ago. Runs no problem in 64 bit. But 32 bit is a different story..In Mac, Get info, and set CS5 to open in 32 bit, CS5 launches an instantly freezes with the spinning beach ball.I can't do anything expect force quit.Mac Pro, 8 core, 10 GB ram, OS 10.5x
I need to be able to run in 32 bit for plug-ins that are not 64 bit.
So I just transferred my Lightroom catalog to a new computer. But none of my presets were transferred. Do I have to do that seperately? Also I'm having trouble even getting to my presets on my old computer. I can see them through Lightroom but can't seem to find them again out of Lightroom. Lightroom 4. Mac.
i upgraded to LR 5.3 this morning, using the Store Presets with this catalog option, as well as the Upgrade wizard. When LR5.3 opened at the end of the process, all of my Import, Export, or Develop presets were gone. all of those folders are empty (for example C:UsersmePicturesLightroomLightroom SettingsDevelop PresetsUser Presets shows "This folder is empty"), and when i open LR 4.4 (the previous install), the presets are gone as well.
I recently got a new computer because my other one is going out on me. I downloaded LR3 onto my new computer but need to somehow get Ithe presets I created off of my old computer and onto my new one. Anything I find just tells you you have to export them one at a time which would really suck if that were true because I have hundreds.
i just bought the new LR 5.0 (now upgrade) - now i want to save all of my presets within my old LR 4.4 (not just the cataloge) and load them into LR 5.0, so everything is how i know and need it.is there a way to do so?
I downloaded the trial version yesterday, but I am not able to use any presets, the default ones or some I downloaded. I put the mouse over them and the image in the navigation bar does not change, nor does the picture change if I click on them. How can I make them work?
I have Photoshop Elements 9 (which I love) and use it to try and give my pics a more 'professional' look, however I find it very time consuming. I was doing some research on Adobe Lightroom and came accross the 'ultimate collection of The best Lightroom Presets'. URL....has anybody used these or other presets? They sound quick and easy to use, just open your photo and apply the effect with minimal editing- is that correct?
I have small children and love taking photos of them and just want to 'professionalise' my photos quickly and easily, is Photoshop Lightroom better that Photoshop for doing?how the Student/Teacher version of Lightroom is different to the full version?
I recently upgraded from LR3 to LR4, and on a different computer (Mac to PC/Windows 7) so I have a feeling I'll be here a lot.
I have transferred everything over to the new computer, and have "installed" the purchased Presets in question (Kevin Kubota Vintage Delish). As far as I can tell, the installation went smoothly and successful, however, when I run LR4, there are still no Presets to choose from.
My metadata presets are not appearing in the library module. Preset None and Edit Presets appear. There are various presets in the Users/Roaming/Appdata/Adobe/Lightroom/4/Metadata Templates folder. the metadata presets have disappered from my images as well?
I purchased Lightroom 3 as a download last year, and I've had constant issues with it ever since. Problems include the following:
-On startup, it says my camera profiles are missing, and to reinstall Lightroom to fix the issue. Of course, reinstalling Lightroom does nothing. -It deletes all my presets - metadata presets, stored watermarks, developing presets, and export settings. There seems to be no trigger or particular frequency for this. -Every 30 days, it says that my trial of Lightroom has expired, and to enter my serial number to continue. When I enter my serial number, it gives me the same message again in another 30 days. This has continued to happen even after uninstalling Lightroom, reinstalling, and entering my serial number immediately.
I'm getting more and more frustrated, and the previous solution I've been given ("Try reinstalling the program") has fixed nothing. Sure, it still works, but every time I have to re-enter all my presets.
Since the sliders have changed in the Develop module of Lightroom 4, will some of my existing presets need to be changed in order to work with the new processing version?
I bougth Lightroom 5 in July. I was able to import some fun presets and use them to great effect.
I am now needing to use a different laptop. I downloaded LR5 to the new machine, activated it with my serial number and tried to import my favortie presets, but I get an error message with all of the saying"the template file is the wrong type of template"
Just updated LR 3.4.1 on a Man to 3.5. After I put the LR.app inti the App-Folder and started LR all of my presets were deleted.
They were saved in the /user/library/application support/etc. folder before and now they're gone (unfortunately I didn't saved my presets within the catalog)
I'm very annoyed about this because I have changed 12 export presets some days ago and haven't ran time machine after it.
I wasn't aware, that an update LR will kill my presets. Is there any way to get them back?
Since updating to 4.4 I no longer get any gps info imported. Same camera's, gps equipment worked fine in 4.3. Can read info from jpeg file on cf card using Opanda so I believe this to be a LR bug? Just Dl'd 5 beta and same problem.
