Lightroom :: File Could Not Be Written

Apr 26, 2013

When exporting from LR 4.4 (and 4.3) as a jpeg, "file could not be written" appears when saving to main hard drive. Exporting to a thumb drive or external drive of any kind works fine.

Lightroom :: The File Could Not Be Written

Nov 17, 2013

Yesterday Lightroom 5 worked fine. This morning, nothing will export, with the message "The file could not be written." This applies to dng and jpg files. Nothing has changed as the computer was shut down overnight. My HD has 98% (1.97 TB) space available and I have Mac OS X 10.8.5. I recently upgraded to LR5. Neither new files nor old files (on another HD) can be opened, although all files could be opened yesterday. What can I do?

Lightroom :: Getting Error The File Could Not Be Written When Exporting

Jul 17, 2013

When I attempt to export a group of approximately 50 photos from LR4, a window opens at the end of the process saying "The file could not be written" along with a list of approximately 10-15 NEF file names.  I have never had a problem exporting before, but I recently started storing my LR catalog and files on an external USB 3.0 drive.

Here are the details:LR4 with latest updatesWin 7 with latest updatesLR catalog and photo files stored on external USB 3.0 G: driveTrying to export to a folder on my desktop on C: drive (46GB free out of 134GB, solid state drive)LR files are NEF, exported files are JPGI've tried to export to the same group of photos multiple times with different names and different output file sizes (8MB, 5MB, 2MB).  Each time the list of failures is different.Some of the thumbnails which appear in Windows Explorer are corrupted (part of the thumbnail is gray)When I try to export the same group of photos to the external USB 3.0, it works perfectly! 
 
Here is an example of one of the LR log files:

The file could not be written. (17)

Lightroom :: Sidecar File Has Conflict - Keyword Changes In LR Not Being Written To JPEGs

Jan 7, 2012

I am new to Lightroom and evalutating 3.6 on a trial.I performed the following test:

1. Imported 3 pictures into Lightroom from my hard drive
2. In Lightroom, I made a keyword change to one photo (removed a keyword).
3. All three photos' Metadata icon show the arrow, indicating that there has been a change. (I only changed the keyword on one photo.)
4. I click the icon for the photo whose keyword I changed.
5. I get the message "The metadata for this photo has been changed in Lightroom. Save the changes to disk?"
6. I click "Yes".
7. The photo's Metadata icon shows an exclamation point. When you hover over the exclamation point, it shows the message "Sidecar has conflict".
 
I have two questions:

1. My expectation is that when I changed a keyword, or any other metadata, in LR, it will show up on the photo outside of LR. My understanding is that this is a functionality of LR. Am I wrong? (The Help files seem to indicate that this is a reasonable expectation.)
2. I am assuming, having read many posts on the forum, that the error message "Sidecar has conflict" is a bug. Am I right? (My understanding is that JPEGs don't have sidecar files, which just makes this message even more odd.)
 
I am on Windows 7 Home Premium (upgraded from Vista Home Premium), 32 bit.

Illustrator :: File Could Not Be Written Due To Error When Exporting JPG?

Mar 19, 2010

I'm working with an Illustrator file in CS2 and after a certain point it has started saying 'the file could not be written due to an error' when exporting to a jpg.
 
i've tried a couple things like deleting layers and although the file is much smaller, it still says the same error when exporting.
 
at its highest it was 130mb as an illustrator file and jpgs were 2-5mb.
 
i''ve tried copying some of the layers into a new file but the error report still comes when i'm exporting.
 
i have vector and raster based data in the file and tried turning off/deleting either of the layers and there is no difference.
 
i don't understand why it's started doing this because before it had no problem at all exporting before.
  
I'm trying not to have to reproduce days of work to remake the file.

Lightroom :: What Are All Locations Where Metadata Is Written

Dec 29, 2013

I have a question about the location of any metadata (IPTC, keywords, etc.) written in Lightroom 5 to my raw files. I understand that this data is written (embedded) into jpg files but as a .xmp file next to the raw files. My question is, if I purge the jpgs and do NOT continuously copy the updated .xmp files to my backup drives, and if I were to lose my Lightroom catalog, will all my Lightroom metadata that I added be lost? Or, does Lightroom keep all my metadata in the catalog file? Is the Lightroom catalog the "source" location of the data that's added to the jpgs and .xmp file?

Lightroom :: How GPS Coordinates Are Written To EXIF In LR4

Jul 17, 2012

How GPS coordinates are written to EXIF in LR4.
 
Here's the bottom line: I understand how to insert coordinates into a photo's EXIF. I can clearly see the coordinates when viewing EXIF within LR4, but that's where the trail ends.
 
I am trying to view the GPS EXIF data in multiple other programs and I just don't see it anywhere. I also participate in an web sharing site that automatically maps photos upon upload, assuming the coordinates are in the EXIF. This isn't working for me either. As a test I uploaded a file that had coordinates written to EXIF (according to LR4), and then downloaded that image back to my PC, and re-imported it to LR4 ... I can see all EXIF except no GPS coordinates.
 
For all practical purposes, it appears LR4 is not really writing the coordinates to EXIF except for what is displayed inside the shell of Lightroom.

Lightroom :: Delimited Keywords Are Not Written Into DNG Files As They Are In Catalogue?

Jun 15, 2013

adding a preset to already edited photos without changing the edit.  Basically I will edit an entire wedding and then I go back and pick out favorites for my bride and like to add the same artistic edit over them.  Since they are already all edited to my clean beautiful photo, (color balance, exsposure, editing for maybe none ideal lighting during ceremony) I would think there would be an easy way to add a preset without having it change all my adjustments I made so to speed up my process.  I know If I bring my photos to photoshop and bring them back into lightroom it pretty much resets it to basic

Lightroom :: 4 - Auto Assigned Placenames Not Written To XMP On Export?

Mar 30, 2012

When pinning a photo to the map, and get the GPS coordinates into metadata. I also get information in the IPTC fields for ISO Country Code, Country and State/province, but they are marked in italics and with a grey-coloured typeface. I use DNG raw files.

When exporting to JPG, the GPS coordinates are included in EXIF, but the placenames are gone.
 
If I enter the placenames manually, they export to both IPTC and XMP tags.
 
Why are the automatically assigned placenames not included on export?

Photoshop :: Error :: The Memory Could Not Be Written

Mar 19, 2009

I have an HP Pavilion 730. I have purchased the upgrade to CS4 and it has been working for a while. Now all of a sudden, when I open the program, the computer goes "boink" and a message comes up that says:

The instruction at "Ox77e78804" referenced memory at "0x0at1a1470". The memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate or click cancel to debug program.

No matter which one I do, it shuts down CS4 totally?

I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and it still does the same thing.

Photoshop :: Sunken Text Written In Snow?

Dec 18, 2007

I would like to know how to do this effect if anyone would be so kind as to advise...

My boss received a Christmas card from the graphic design company we use. It had a picture of a snowy field on the front, with her name 'in the snow'.

It looked very effective, as if someone had actually been in the field and dragged their feet to write her name. I tried to recreate it last night but couldn't get it looking that good, mine basically looked like I had dropped 3D text on the snow!

Any tips or recommendations for tools/effects I should use?

Photoshop :: Recovery Files Only Written On Boot Drive?

Mar 14, 2013

Cannot find explanations as for most recovery seems to work fine regardless of where the scratch drive is set.  For me it only seems to work if the scratch is set as boot drive, C:.
 
I became aware of this after recently adding an SSD to my system and accordingly setting the scratch disk to one of the other larger drives.  After a photoshop crash there was no recovery - surprising as it had worked flawlessly in the past.  I did a test, switching the scratch location among a few drives and seeing where the recovery files were written - the answer was C: drive.  In any other location the PSAutoRecover folder was created, but no files ever appear there.

Paint.NET :: How To Get Hand Written Words To Stand Out Better On Black Background

Oct 1, 2011

This is a notation to a photograph that my grandfather took. The photo was mounted in one of those old albums that had black paper pages. The notation was written with some kind of white colored pen.

How to get the hand written words to stand out better and be on a pretty much pure black background.

I have played around with simple contrast, brightness, etc. and some other features but not gotten the effect I would like. I might not get it but I would like suggestions on a technique that would do this as automatically as possible. I know I could spend the time to get down to a pixel level and clean up the writing then drop it back on to a new black layer. This would be very time intensive and I would have a big learning curve on how to do this.

Lightroom :: Automatically Append / Prepend Directory Names In File Path Into File Name Itself

Is it possible in Lightroom to automatically append/prepend directory names in the file path into the file name itself? Example:
 
DirectoryA Sub-directoryB filename.jpg  (original file name)
 
==> 
 
DirectoryA Sub-directoryB DirectoryA_Sub-directoryB_filename.jpg  (concatenated new file name)
 
If this is not natively possible within Lightroom, any plug-in that delivers this functionality?
