When I try to save medadata to pictures in Lightroom 5 it says "Photos have read-only access" but if I go to info on files and folders it says all users have read and write privilege. I keep the catalogue and pictures not on my mane drive.
I am trying to download pictures in folders and sub folders into the LR catalog. The import brings all the pics in the subfolders over but when II click on the parent folder it shows not pictures or number of pictures in it.
I imported pictures to Adobe Lightroom and exported them to my memory card. Now my memory card is broke! Is there any way to retrieve those pictures from Lightroom. Right now they are saying missing.
I cannot save pictures in jpg anymore in Photoshop cs4. I work with raw images and save them first in tiff, then in jpg normally. But this option does not show anymore on the list to "save as".
Since yesterday I have the problem, that I can't open/save pictures as PNG any more, the option is completely gone.When I try to open one, it says "not the right kind of document".
I don't know what I've done, I just wanted to install filters and I've put them in the Plug-ins/Filters folder.But they didn't work so I've put them out again.I already deleted my preferences and I am desperate, I don't know what to do anymore.
I recently started working for a local newspaper. The editor asked me to upload my pictures at 300 dpi. How do I save my pictures at 300 dpi? When I click on properties of the pictures I have taken, the dpi is always listed as 72.
I am editing old pictures. To save time I am scanning four pictures at a time. I'm using the marquee tool to crop each picture into their own layer via right click method and choosing "Layer via copy." After I'm done doing this for all four pictures, I have to hide all but one layer, trim the project to the picture size, save it. Then I undo the trim, and start over for the next picture to save.
Is there any easier way to save each cropped section as their own picture/project at the size of their crop without effecting the other pictures? Was wondering if there was a way to crop the portions I want out but instead of copy to layer method, I could just create a new project with that cropped picture?
When I export a file from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop Elements 11 to edit. I make my edits, then click "Save." For some reason it opens the "Save-As" dialog box. How can I fix this so that I only click "Save" and then let the file return to Lightroom?
With my Imac (Osx 10.8.3) and L 4.4 the Pictures folder is frozen. I can acces pictures but I can not import new pictures or delete or remane or move. It looks like the Pictures folder is locked. I can do everything if I move up the the "Myname" Folder. both version L4.4 and Imac are in French.
I just got lightroom and when I try to upload my old albums from my hardrive (all taken with the same camera) not all of them will load and the importing bar in the top left freezes.
I imported 146 photos into l/r4, the catalogue i calld eden, the catalogue then came up as eden.lr cat-journal.when first imported i saw the images,now when I open catalogue it says invalid or corrupt.
The Canon 6D produces HDR photos from 3 intermediate pictures, and it discards the intermemdiates. The exif data on Lightroom (5) does not seem to identify the HDR photos, and I cannot find any other way to get Lightroom to identify HDR photos. The HDR photos are generally recognizable, visually, but it would still to have Lightroom identify them.
I have been a user of Aperture for some time now and finally decided to make the switch to Lightroom and all in all i am very impressed with the whole program!
I am wanting to set up a way of 'dynamically' or at least as dynamically as possible sharing certain folders containing family images with our wider family, in the UK and overseas, rather than reinvent the wheel i wanted to see what ways people have found to do it..
I just installed the trial of LR3 and I'm already having problems. When I try to "import" photos, my pictures don't show up. All that shows up in the preview thumbnails are grey boxes where my pictures should be. LR acts like it is loading my pictures, but when the pictures should be fully loaded, there are only grey boxes. If I hit "uncheck all" they will begin to re-load, but still the pictures will not show up. If I go to "Develop", the levels and such of the photo will show up and I can alter them, but it doesn't do anything because the photo I am editing is just a grey space! I tried altering the preferences for the file types to see if that may be it, but the pictures still did not show. I also tried using different folders of photos, but they all did this weird grey space thing.
When transferring a picture developed in Camera Raw in Lightroom for further development in CS5 you normally get a choice wether to open it with Lightroom adjustments or as an Original.
I’m trying to organize all my files in lightroom 4.0 and my computer.
Lightroom aside, the way I have my photos organized are like this. Follow along with the photo!
In the My Pictures folder I have a few folders for each year. You open up a year, like 2011 and it opens up each photo session I did. For example if I went to the beach on March 25 I would make a folder titled March 25, Beach Shoot. Inside that folder would be all of my pictures from the beach.
Well in lightroom I imported everything and it all shows up as various folders. There are no years, all the years are crammed into one section in the module. The folders section under my C drive.
Its really hard to find certain photos from shoots. I dont care to look through shoots from 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 when I went on a shoot yesterday, in 2012.
What is the best way to organize all my pictures from various years? How do others do this? I bought a Lynda membership for their video lessons and took a 5 hour course on how to organize Lightroom and the guy in the video was dealing with like 150 shots. I’m dealing with almost 20,000.
Have LR5.3 on a Windows 7 machine. Have SSD for programs and usual HD for pictures. Want to have LR catalogues on my SSD rather than default Pictures folder (on the HD). How do I move them to SSD and have LR find them and use that as a default hereafter?
I'd like to purchase Lightroom 4. I used the Beta version and now have the Testversion in use. Since I'm using a Mac Computer and and iPad, I'd like to continue to USe iPhoto to share my pictures with the TV and other Apple products. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out a nice workflow - means how to import pictures in raw, work with them in Lightroom and than finally export as jpg and ideally import automatically into iPhoto. Not sure how to do it and I'm wrestling with the iPhoto libary.
Pictures do not show up in catalogs. Older pictures are there but newer imports appear as grey boxes. I can click in them in develop mode and work on them so they are in the program. After working on them they appear in the catalogs until I develop other pics at which point they switch to the grey box again
