Sep 8, 2012

Previous Version of Lightroom: 1.4.1 Current Version of Lightroom: 3.4.1
Overview of Problem
When starting Lightroom the application is responsive and loads quickly. Everything appears to be normal until either the "Import Button" is clicked or the import function is accessed via the File/Import Photos menu path. When either of these routes are taken to import a photo Lightroom becomes very slow to respond. The "Import Button" will cause Lightroom to take 30 seconds to open the "Select a source" screen, however, once a source (resident hard drive file containing .jpg photos) is selected Lightroom attempts to crash then recovers itself and after 30 seconds the source will display. Attempting to access another like file in the menu structure will cause another 30 second delay.
Attempting to click away from the "Select a source" screen back to the main Lightroom parent screen will cause an immediate white screen with "Lightroom Not Responding" on the main program bar.This will happen with a click on the Parent or when using the Cancel button. Once again, Lightroom will recover itself from the crash and eventually load the Parent screen.
Attempting to once again return to the Import screen will start the entire process again.
At this point Lightroom is unstable and unusable.
What I Have Done
Action: Uninstalled Lightroom 1.4.1 Result: Bug Still Active Action: Uninstalled Lightroom 3.4.1 and Re-Installed Result: Bug Still Active Action: Updated to Lightroom 3.5 Result: Bug Still Active Action: Completely Uninstalled Lightroom 3.5 and 3.4.1 deep enough (registry and every Lightroom associated file) to require Serials to be re-entered Result: Bug Still Active
Additional Actions: I have attempted intallations with all external USB devices disconnected and connected.
Note: Although there are only 4 Action items detailed I have attempted many different ways to resolve this Bug but with no success.
We have been using Lightroom 4.2 with our Canon camera for over a year. We uploaded some pictures on Friday and it worked as usual. We tried uploading pictures on Sunday and lightroom does not respond. We keep getting an error message stating "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit is not responding. If you close the program, you might lose information". Nothing changed with the camera settings or lightroom. After we couldn't get it to upload, we updated to lightroom 4.4, and it still doesn't work.
I went to startup LR5.2 (local) and it all of a sudden did not get past the splash screen. It hung with a "Not Responding" in the title bar. I went to a backup file and the program seemed to operate normally. I did another backup to make sure I saved a good catalog. Today the same thing happened. I again went back to the backup and that did not seem to work. I have tried a number of things including deleting all of the preview files and upgrading to version 5.3.
Up until the other day LR5.2 was operating without any problems. One more thing. I finally got it to work by deleteling all of the preview files and going back to my backup. It starts up and seems to be ok; however, when I close the program and try to re-start .. it again does not get beyond the splash screen.
I have subscribed to the CC version of PS + LR but I am only using PS - have not downloaded LR5 for CC.
I did increase the RAW space to 30 Gig and there is 119 Gig of space on the hard drive. I use an i5 processor and run the 64 bit version of LR.
I am trying out the free trial of LR4. My OS is Windows 7. The program is constantly freezing up and posting "Not Responding" at the top of my screen. I really dolike the program and would like to purchase it at the end of the trial, but only if the "Not Responding" stops.
In Using the adjustment brush with exposure mode active I get a light red/pink color over the area the brush is used, this is not the mask that shows up when the curser is put over the pin. I also can not not make real time adjustment but when I click the adjustment brush to turn it off I can see the changes I tried to make.
My adjustment brush doesn't want to move away from painting local colour adjustments. I would like to move it to paint local exposure adjustments. What I am doing incorrectly.
When I try to use the adjustment brush by selecting the brush, the sliders shown for the brush change the complete photograph, which I do not want it to do. When I use the brush it makes changes. But, if I make a slider change that I want for the brush it actually changes the complete photograph. It has worked properly in the past. I was able to make a slider change and it would only make changes to the area the brush selected.
In Develop, when preparing to use the Adjustment Brush, first I adjust the size of the brush. I slide my cursor along the Size slider and the displayed adjacent "sample brush" varies in size. Next, I move the cursor into the field of the image. When the cursor crosses over into the image field, the circle indicating brush size changes; it gets larger by roughly 25%. I have been using the adjustment brush now for what seems like 2 or 3 years, but I can't recall it changing size before. Is this normal? 2 screenshots: a) the cursor(sadly not reproduced in the screenshots) hovers at the slider; b) The cursor is moved to the image field, and the Adjustment brush circle has increased in size.

I have an Eizo external monitor connected to my MBP and use the external for editing. I have been doing so for a couple years now and with all versions of Lightroom (even 4.2). I have always been able to see the changes/edits real-time on the external monitors when adjusting something with one of the LR sliders. Ever since I installed the latest LR update (4.3)- I don't see changes realtime. I have to wait until I let go of the mouse/slider to see the changes/adjustments.
Just a few months ago I changed from a PC to an iMac, and am running Photoshop CC for photographers including Lightroom.I am still able to use the Command/Z (formally Alt/Z on the PC if memory serves) shortcut to un-do the most recent adjustment, even though that shortcut is not listed among the shortcuts in the Help page. However, I am unable to use the corresponding Command/Y to re-do the adjustment.Is it a secret or just not available in CC and/or a Mac? I used to use these often to check out recent adjustments and I'd like to have it back.
Just upgraded to LR5 and noticed that the color has gone from my white balance and other sliders within the develop module. Ie. the channels or groves of the slider bars are all white, and lack the guideline color gradients that used to be useful. How do I get the color back?
I am using LR 4.2 and I have a question about the non-destructive editor, specifically the use of adjustment brushes. After I work with an adjustment brush and then go on with my editing I can't figure out how to make tweaks to what was darn earlier on the adjustment brush area. With all the other editing functions I can change something and then later make a change. For example, I can set -10 highlights and then later I can change it to -15 highlights and then later change it to something else. With things I have done with adjustment brushes though I haven't figured out the technique to do that. If I select adjustment brush and then click on the area that I had earlier changed with an adjustment brush it doesn't seem to reselect that area so that I can tweak it. Is there a way to go back and tweak areas selected with an adjustment brush?
With Adobe tech support, I consolidated my LR 2.7 catalog with LR 5 catalog. But when I opened up the older photos in LR5, I had only the L2 2.7 Adjustments available.
Do I need to reimport the older photos? I thought that an yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it would show up to update. Is 2.7 too far a leap to LR5?
The first panel in LR5 (Develop Mode) has disappeared! This has Temp, Exposure then Highlites, Shadows and vibrancy, clarity etc? How do I get it back??
When I select the adjustment brush and paint across the image no changes are made. I have tried moving the sliders to the extremities but no effects to the image are made.
when i bought lightroom 5 when i was opening my development tab i use to see all my controls in color (ex: tone ,saturation) but now everything is in black and white don't know what i did and can't seem to find it anywhere only colors i see is the histogram
I would like to digitally publish some family scrapbooks. The plan would be to scan the page, then digitally adjust some of the photographs (old and faded, etc.) on each page. There are multiple photographs per page, and in most cases, only some of the photos on each page would need to be adjusted. Is there a way to import the whole-page scan into LightRoom and then adjust a rectangular portion. And for extra credit, in a few cases, photos overlap each other have a notch out of a corner (looks like the US state of Utah).
I have a couple questions regarding adjustment brushes in LR 3.6 .
1. I recently found out there should be Iris Enhance, Skin Soften, etc. brushes in the presets. I can't find them under the adjustment brush. I've tried going to Edit->Preferences->Presets->Restore Local Adjustment Presets as several others have suggested but it doesn't appear to do anything.I have found these files where I've read they're supposed to be (../AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Local Adjustment Presets) but I can't find them in LR unless they're somewhere other than the Adjustment Brush panel.
2. Also, 'O' turns the mask overlay on and off as it should. I have 'on' set to red but for some reason 'off' is set to blue and I have to desaturated it everytime I turn off the overlay mask. How do I change the "off" state to be no color?
My adjustment brush is not working. I can select it, move it, etc. but it makes no changes. i.e. I want to whiten teeth, I have tried to adjust exposure, brightness, contrast even make them green nothing works. But I can move the brush, it shows up as if I had made changes when I click the done button and reselect my adjustment brush but no change has been made!
In Jeff Schewe's book "The Digital Negative," I read that Lightroom 4 comes with Adjustment Brush and Graduated Filter presets. I use Camera Raw (CS6), which doesn't come with presets. Looking for the settings for each Lightroom 4 preset so I can create the same presets in Camera Raw?
I am fairly new to Lightroom, and the Adjustment Brush tool specifically, and I am having some problems with it! I have watched tons of tutorials on using it, and it seems relatively easy...although when I go into my program and attempt to use it, nothing happens to my photo...say if I wanted to adjust the exposure on the face of an individual, I will go in and select the tool, decrease the exposure, make the brush and feather the size I want it, and when I go to "paint" the area I want altered, nothing happens? The pins appear as if to show me that's where I started, but then no change happens to the area I attempted to paint. Do I need to select something somewhere to be able to actually use the brush to paint?
Whenever I open and use PS, then close it down, my Mac will not restart or shut down; it gets as far as that ‘wheel of death’ which keeps on turning, turning and turning, I presume forever. Force quitting PS permits closing down normally. I have uninstalled PS, reinstalled it to no avail. Thinking that my harddrive might be the problem, I ran it through TechTool Pro and that did not work. So I must have some file responsible for it. No other programs, Adobe or otherwise, cause this.
