Lightroom :: Enable Viewing And Cataloging Of PDF Files?
Mar 18, 2012
I have many PDF slideshows and PDF images. It seems that Lightroom will not read PDF files though... I recall that Bridge can read PDF files. I believe it would be a useful addition to LR to enable the viewing and cataloguing of PDF files.
I use Lightroom to catalog and develop my RAW files, and then create JPEG's for typical uses. But I don't end up with the JPEG's in my Lightroom catalog, and I think that would be useful finding the ones I want, the way I do with RAW files.
Is there a way to catalog both my RAW and JEPG files with Lightroom?
When applying the lens profile for CR2 images, Lightroom displays in extensive list of lens models to choose from. The list for CR2 images includes the Canon 18-200 IS lens that I use. However when developing a JPeg only image, the lens model list only displays about 20 canon lens models - which unfortunately doesn't include the Canon 18-200 IS lens. enable selecting the full list for jpeg only files?
I have been shooting RAW for a while and have notice that after I import the images and then start to view them in the Library Module I will see a slight color and quality shift - almost looks like a white balance shift but not quite. I was thinking that perhaps there was some automatic preset being applied but I don't have any presets at all.
I am shooting with a Canon 1DX as well as 7D. I have not checked to see if I get this situation with the 7D, but I know for sure that I get it with the 1DX.
Today I was reviewing some images in Bridge and decided to open one of them in Camera RAW. At that time I discovered that the camera's Image Style Settings were available, Faithful, Standard, Portrait, etc. I noticed that the images did not have one of the camera styles applied to them but rather the Adobe Standard Style. At that point from within RAW I selected one of the camera's styles and bingo thats the kind of shift I am seeing when I first view an image in LR4 Library.
So as far as I can tell the RAW images are getting the Adobe Standard style applied in LR. I have no idea if this is a default behavior of if I have done something to cause it. I'm also thinking that perhaps LR does not necessarily apply the Camera's Styles automatically even though the particular style has been set in the camera -- perhaps is not imported as part of the metadata during the import and thus defaults to the Adobe Standard.
1. Should I expect LR4 to apply the Style as set from the camera automatically or not at all? 2. Can I prevent LR from applying the Adobe Standard Style and apply no style? 3. Can I cause LR to apply the Style as set in the camera for the particular image to be appied automatically upon import?
Other than the Adobe Photoshop apps what is the best Android App for viewing .psd files? All the Adobe ones lock you into using the Creative Cloud which I don't want to use as I have my files on Google Drive.
Just got a new vista home computer 64 bit. With my old 32 bit vista I could view raw and tiff files in windows file explorer. With my new box, I cannot view them.
I recently got rid of my Canon GL1. before I did, I captured 30+ hours of footage using Premier Elements. Unfortunately, I cant view it without using premiere. All I want to do is save it as useable date for future editing in a format that is versatile as well as be able to catalog it easily.
I had to make a new system. and now ..after installing PS CS..I cannot see thumbnails of the files. I normally see them and see thumbnails for JPEG..but not the PSD's with a newer version of PS. I remember reading about this bug..and a reg setting some time ago...anyone know what it takes to fix this..? (my win pro media has ALL updates and is legal..just bought it)
ver 9 PS CS2 -
Do i have to install the old PS 7.0 to see them..?
I have had a client send me over some information about a site we have out in the middle of nowhere, Australia, and they've sent over the info in a bunch of .shx files. The types are shown as Shape Source and Compiled Shape. So, is there a way for me to change the .shx files to .dwg or .dwf files without downloading a piece of software for $150-250USD without knowing if it really works? I've looked through the forums, but I don't want to convert the files from .shx to .shp, I also tried a couple of trial downloads for converters, but for some reason have only found downloads for 32bit machines, whereas I'm working with a 64bit machine, or they don't do what they say they do.
Sometimes when I save files as a pdf in Illustrator, or receive files from other people the image loses it's colour.
All colour is just black. I'm attaching a screen shot so you can see what I mean, the colours here are supposed to be a shades of a PMS colour, but instead they're all black.
Being an architectural photographer I create a lot of layered files with many exposures with different lights on and daylight separately. I always save my layered files in a folder called Layered files in the project. I also save flattened 8 bit Tif's at full resolution for my client as a print file in a separate folder along with another folder for web and device optimized files. When my client opens some of my flattened files they tell me the only see one layer. When I open some of them in Preview I get the same result. I only see the last layer I put into my layered file. But when I open the same photo in Bridge I see the full flattened file as I saved it. What can I do about that?
I would like to view two images at once in Lightroom. The help says I should go to Window > Arrange. 'Arrange' does not appear as an item under the 'Window' menu.
I downloaded photos from my camera into lightroom. When I try to export them to a lightroom folder I have created on the HD, the process exports the photos, but when I go to the folder, it does not show the photos. When I repeat the process, it states that the photos are there (but I can not see the recent ones I just added)
My department is making an overhaul on our keyword usage and we want to figure out which keyword tags have been used the most and which ones are rare and uncommon. Is there a way to export a spreadsheet and/or view the keyword statistics?
Having recently swapped my old iMac for a new Retina MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1, I seem to be having some difficulty getting the new Mac to open Lightroom 5.3 when a memory card is inserted either into the SD card slot on the laptop itself or into the card reader of the monitor. I have no problems importing pictures into Lightroom if I open Import myself but I find it odd that cannot enable the same function as I had on the old iMac. Within the Lightroom preferences I have the option "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected" enabled. However, what I find really odd is that my old stalwart application for sorting this sort of stuff out, Image Capture, does not seem to recognise Lightroom. When I open this application with a memory card inserted I am unable to select Lightroom as an "Other" option from the "Import to" menu. see the screenshot below. what is causing Image Capture to dislike my fresh install of Lightroom (via Creative Cloud).
In fact, the problem is that when I activate this option my lens are not selected automaticly. I need to choose them from the list. Before with LR4 both of my lenses we're correctly detected. Downloaded and installer LR 5.2 RC and still the same results
In the below print screen, the lens should be 70-200 f2.8, which normally is found. The only difference with this photo is that it was accidently shot as a JPG and not RAW. I dont see how that makes a difference since the metadata still lists the correct lens as you can see on the screenshot:
The lens profile defaulted to "None". And you can see the dropdown I need to use when this happens. When I select "Nikon", the profile is USUALLY then enabled, but not always.
This has stopped working in the past for unknown reasons. If I "enable" a whole day of photos from multiple lenses and bodies --that is when it is mostly likely to fail (even though these lenses all have profiles). Perhaps a better question is how does the lookup logic work in the first place? I tend to take it on faith when a product's features work until I'm forced to figure it out. In "Setup" I don't know what the various options do. Normally it just works. I do not know the difference between "default" "auto" and "custom" nor do I know the function of "Save" and "Reset".
I have been using LR since version 2 and since upgrading to LR5 I can't find a way to view the jpeg files next to the raw file. in grid view it just shows RAW + JPEG on a single photo but I want to split them so I can see the jpeg type. I changed my preferences to 'treat jpegs as separate files' but what do I do with all the files I already imported and corrected?
The change inidicator in the LR develop module disappeared for pictures that have been adjusted. This indicator appears in the Library Module, but I need it in the Develop module and can't figure out how to turn it back on.
Using LR 4.3, I'm exporting a slideshow to PDF. Even though I turned off transitions in LR, the transitions automatically start in Acrobat X in full screen mode. My goal is to present ths slide show with a mouse click, or arrow key, to move to the next slide in full screen mode.
