Lightroom :: Can't Find A Way Of Opening NEF File Directly In CaptureNX
Aug 14, 2012
Is it possible to open a photo with another application, without a pre-conversion to tiff by Lightroom? I love Active D-Lighting, it saves me a lot of shadow/highlight recovery, but Lightroom doesn't support it. I edit most of my photos with Capture NX, but I use Lightroom to catalog them and edit others. I can't find a way of opening a nef file directly in CaptureNX from Lightroom.
Can the pictures file name be printed directly on to each image so that a preview book could be printed by Blurb with each photograph numbered.I can do this in slideshow but when I export the files for printing the numbers are gone.Several of my friend in the profession would also like the ability to apply the file names in this way.
I need to delete an AutoRecovery file (.psb) in CS6, it keeps opening on launch. I can't find it on my computer to save my life. I have tried saving the file in various places to see if it takes care of it and it does not. Apparently, it is supposed to be in:
Mac HD/users/me/library/application support/Adobe/Photoshop CS6/Autorecovery
There is not an AutoRecovery folder or .psb file anywhere to be seen in the Photoshop or Adobe library folders, and I have looked everywhere. I have a brand new imac w/ OS x. I have tried searching everywhere for the file and folder, even in places that make no sense. I have searched my entire computer, even visually looking in every folder.
I have read a few message boards and apparently the file should be where it is supposed to be (file path above) and deleting it will solve this issue, but I cannot find it.
In LR3, when exporting a raw file as a jpeg the only choices given at the top of the dialog box are Hard Drive and CD. Is there a way to export directly to a thumb drive or external HD without exporting to the HD then copying the file (s) over?
I am learning about using channels as a mean of channel masking in CS5. The instructor on a dvd starts with a general understanding of channels. Within the first 2 minutes, I can't seem to replicate his instructions.
Here are steps I take to look at the individual channels Red, Green, Blue.I invoke "Channels" in my layers palette. What appears is the RGB, Red, Green, Blue Channels (with the eyeball showing in each of the individual channels).The instructor says to click on each of the channel and you will see the appropriate a tone map of each individual channels.
When I click on lets say the red channel, nothing happens ... all of the layer eyeballs are still on and I get no individual tone map. If I deselect all of the eyeballs, then I can get the individual channel tone maps.
I suppose that the instructor is using a shortcut key to invoke each individual channel tone map, but he doesn't explain it.how to get an individual tone map directly after opening up the channels palette, without having to manually remove each eyeball.
I edited a file in photoshop (CS4) "saved" not "save as" and imported it back into LR3 file was imported as DSC5677.psd while the original is DSC5677JPG. I cannot see the psd file in either library or develop models. How do I find/view the file?
When I try to import a photo, Lightroom5 tells me that my photo is a duplicate. When I search for the duplicate from within lightroom, lightroom can't find it by filename. When I search for the duplicate using a file manager outside of lightroom, the file manager can't find the duplicate either. I don't believe there is a duplicate file that has been imported in Lightroom.
this is in regards to a Lightroom 3.5 exported JPG. This was a year ago when I had been told it was best to export files with simple renumbering of them from 1 to x... instead of retaining the original RAW 4-digit file name.
I've currently lost the original files, and need to do a search for them via these 4 digits to see if I have them tucked away in any of my drives. I downloaded a metadata explorer, and it's telling me all the lightroom editing information, and everything else, but somehow does not have the simplest of information — that 4 digit original file name.
Am I grasping at straws or is there likely to be any way to find this information out? I don't work with metadata, so there wouldn't have been any customizations to how Lightroom configures this...
I used Adobe lens profile creator to download a lens profile. I cannot find the file. It is not in the standard folder for lens profiles. Where does lens profile creator downloads the lcp file? It says local disk?
I have just migrated my LR4 to a brand new system and am still getting this anoying error message on export however the images still seem to export.In case you can't rfead it it reads:
Unable to Export: An internal error has occured: Win32 API error 2 ("The system cannot find the file specified.") when calling ShellExecuteExW from AgWorkspace.shellExecute
Just installed lightroom x86 windows 7 onto a new laptop as network admin. Installed from the disk and licenced as net admin. I then go to create a new catalogue and type the name and save to My Docs "local HDD" once i select save the program closes. I get the windows 7 spinning ring but nothing else. If i click lightroom shortcut it won't load as it know's their is still an instance open in the background. I have it working on my machine using the same method.
Today I got an error message when trying to export a photo. It has never happened before. Win32 API error 2, system cannot find specified file when calling Shell Execute ExW from AG Workspace. shell execute
I get the following error message when trying to export a file from LR 4.1 using Windows 7:
Unable to Export: An internal error has occurred: Win32 API error 2 ("The system cannot find the file specified.") when calling ShellExecuteExW from AgWorkspace.shellExecute
I have, of course, uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times, along with computer reboots each time. It is still trying to find this file. I even attempted to find and replace the file so it could find it, but nothing seems to work.
var doc = app.activeDocument; var destFolder = Folder ("~/Documents");
if (destFolder) { var fileName = activeDocument.name; var destFile = new File(destFolder + '/' + fileName);

This code I created exports my current Ai document as a PSD with set options. It also names the new file what it is called in Ai.
How can I call the created file and open it directly in Photoshop? Keep in mind I would be working on multiple files, so file names would change every time I ran this Export Script.
I could call a specifically named file and open that, but that's not what I need this script to do. I just need it to open the newly created PSD file.
I can't import directly from an XQD card into Lightroom on my laptop (Windows 7). The images appear in the import window, but I get the following message when trying to import: "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." I can move the files over to the hard disk where Lightroom can import them but only by using the "Add" function. This precludes my adding the date to the file name and converting the files to DNG. The funny thing is I can import them into my desktop, but it has less memory and an older processor which during the import often exceeds the memory capabilities and corrupts the image file.
how to import photos directly unto my EHD via LR. I don't like my images touching my internal hard drive because it slows it down so much. This was never a problem when I used my PC. Two weeks ago I switched to a MAC and now when I plug in my EHD to attempt to import pictures onto it from my Nikon D7000, it states that it cannot read the files. WHen I import them to my internal HD they work fine, it's only when I try to import onto my EHD.
Is it still not possible to export folders direct to ftps? I've heard this is possible in Photomechanic but I'd prefer not to have to buy another piece of software (and I like LR). Exporting to a folder on the hard drive and then exporting to the ftp seems like one step too many.
i have just one question. Why lightroom 4( full version) won't import my photos directly from my Canon 7D, after connecting it to my laptop with USB( Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit)? Lightroom won't find any files, even on full CF card.
I've been able to copy images in an indirect way (LR to an earmarked folder on my PC's hard drive, then to the iPad using Apple's I-Tunes). But editing and arranging images is fairly awkward.
There are LR functions to upload to some web sites, e.g., Flicker, but none to devices like the iPad. (Exporting to smaller sites such as Nikonians would be nice but I suspect there's not enough demand for Adobe to bother with this embellishment.
Is it likely that export functions will be expanded to include the iPad and other devices?
If I use LR to import the RAW files directly from a CF card, there are preview images (but I don't know how to import and save to a different HDD yet so I am still transferring files with Nikon Transfer NX)), but if I use Nikon Transfer to move the NEFs to the HDD, LR reports that it can't read the RAW files. I am using the same NEF format as what I use with ny Nikon D300 (14 bit, uncompressed) and LR will read those files.
I uploaded the lightroom 30 day free trial that i received when i purchased adobe photoshop elements 10. I am now unable to upload pictures directly to my computer because every time i put a memory card in, lightroom pops up and they upload there. Because of this i can not upload the photos to any other program, including the program that i spent $80 to use. I have tried deleting the shortcut, but this doesn't uninstall the lightroom program. I am not sure how to uninstall it because i want it off of my computer.
I need to rename a number of files to specific names which are not based on the current names. Simple to do outside of LR5 but I do not want to lose the related edit data which I believe to be the case if I do it outside of LR.
Assuming the name is stored in the metadata is there anyway to access that directly to perform the rename?
Normally I import as RAW, and then convert to DNG; today is first time that I've Imported/Copied directly to DNG.
Using LR5, I "Copy to DNG" a bunch of images from my CF Card, that I shot over the weekend. In Grid view, under the Histogram, I noticed the icon "Originals without Smart Previews" had a 1, "Originals + Smart Previews" had a 0, "Smart Previews" has a 0, and "Missing" also has a 1 next to it. Admittedly, I forgot to check the "Build Smart Preview" check box, so I Library -> Previews -> Build Smart Previews. After the process finished, I now have "Originals without Smart Previews" - 0, "Originals + Smart Previews" - 1, "Smart Previews" has a 0, and "Missing" - 1. When I go into Develop module, under the Histogram I also see "[!] Photo is Missing". When I Right-Click and select "Show in Finder" it takes me straight to the original, in the correct folder location that I Copied/Imported into. I've also done "Find All Missing Photos" and re-synchronized the folder. Nothing has changed.
This didn't used to happen, but now whenever I open an Illustrator file, the "Find Font" dialog opens as though the fonts I'm using aren't found. Not sure what it wants me to do because no matter what I try nothing resolves. I simply click the "Done" button and go about my business. And there are no problems. Why is this happening? and why now? My fonts are always loaded before I open the file, the file looks and handles just fine.
