Photoshop :: Backing Up My Adobe Profile
Jan 10, 2006
every once in awhile i start up Photoshop and it acts like it has never been used before, all of the default windows are open, it asks me if i want to calibrate color, etc. The worst of this is that I lose of all my custom patterns and brushes that I have made.
Furthermore i can make a brush, name it "Zugzug" and close and reopen Photoshop and it is still there however when i run a search for "zugzug" on my computer it finds nothing. I have been using PS 6.0 when this was happening but recently got CS however I do not want to wait for this to happen again before i try to fix it.
Where are my custom brushes saved and why arent they saved with their names? I figure if i at least knew this it would be easier to save parts of my profile.....
I work on a networked machine and wonder if the profile is stored off of my c: drive. Is there a way to back up my 'profile'?

I don't understand why Photoshop CS6 says that my embedded profile is adobeRGB, because I have changed it to sRGB. I have changed it also on my camera from adobeRGB to sRGB. And my color setting in Photoshop I have changed from adobe RGB to sRGB.
So why does the program say that the color profile does not match? Or maybe I shpuld change something in bridge?

I've got a legal copy of Lightroom, downloaded & installed Air, downloaded and installed Adobe Lens Profile Downloader, got 2 Adobe accounts but cannot get either account to log in using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader, so I cannot even start to download lens profiles.
Is there a place or way to download the profiles without using Adobe Lens Profile Downloader? if I go to photoshop.com as indicated in Adobe Lens Profile Downloader, neither account logs me in even though Ive reset both passwords from photoshop.com, but both log me in on adobe.

Can anyone tell me where to locate the files which correspond to Actions which I create in CS3? I have searched my hard drive for "ATN" files and find only those which came with the program. I would like to back up these Action files and occasionally email Actions which I have created to other users.

I have been using PSE9 for awhile. Imported around 3000 photos from camera card.
I didn't realize that I should have made a copy of the original photos. Now they are stored in the Organizer along with all the changes.
How can I copy/backup the original camera photos at this late date?

I'm using PSE/PE 11 with latest updates, Win7 64bit (again, latest updates). I7 cpu w/8GB ram.
When I attempt a backup of the catalog (EVEN after optimizing & reconnecting) to an internal HDD (SSD) with 188GB free - NO LUCK. Attempt another backup to a different internal HDD with 345GB free - NO LUCK - the app says I must free up some disk space/not enough space. My catalog size from System Info shows 21.6MB but within the Backup app of Organizer, it says it is trying to backup 612,678.10MB.

I shoot a Canon 5D Markiii which produces large files and take a long time to upload to my cloud backup. But when I make Lightroom changes only the XMP file changes. If I convert to DNG does that mean the entire file must be backed up whenever I make a Lightroom change?

I am getting Lightroom. I want to work out the best backup system. I keep hearing, over the years, of people backing up their photos without doing ANYTHING to them as a first backup, right out of the camera. Then they work on the photos which this first backup was taken from. Is this inherently the best way to archive photos for long term quality?

When I first installed LR4, I watched a video that said I could place my catalog on my mac's hard drive or use an external. So, all my photos are on an external. I'm trying to figure out how to backup those images, original & edited versions to another HD. Time machine to my knowledge only backsup my computer itself. I do back up my LR5 catalog upon closing it after use & it is stored in my users picture folder but my photos are all on a HD. So if my external fails, my photos will be gone

I need backing up my lightroom photos onto an external drive. I understand you need to backup both your catalog and your photos. I have been backing up my catalog to a folder on my external hard drive. Does this automatic catalog backup include presets, edits and XMPs/metadata to the photos?
My main problem is I am super confused about backing up my photos. I have to admit I haven't done it for about 6 months since it was such a hassle last time. Here's my situation. 6 months ago I manually backed up everything I had from lightroom 3 at the time. Now, I want to back up the photos I've taken since then however I dont know how to do this without deleting my previous backup and then rebacking up everything again. If I just export my catalog into my external hardrive will that be sufficient? Also if I need to do it manually where do I even find my LR photos? Also, now I have lightroom 5 and I'm worried that if I just backup lightroom 5 then my presets and edits from lightroom 3 will not be backed up.I've heard that Microsoft Backup and Restore can automatically backup my files. How does this work? Will it automatically back up everything I need from LR (photos and all)?

I have used a pc from the 1980s and never bothered much about formally backing up relying on saving to disk for important piccies etc. I have had several computer crashes over the years and merely reinstalled all. My problem is now this: I have recently taken on the job of official film-maker for a local club and so feel I should have some formal backup in place, for fear of losing my project file mid-stream before completion! backup prog particularly for Video work? I believe the opposition incorporate a back up prog into their software but I don't want to move away from Corel.

I am running LR 5.0 on OS X 10.8.4 and everything was fine until a couple of days ago when I started getting this error message when backing up Lightroom. I have repeatedly restarted Lightroom, restarted my iMac, and nothing gets fixed. Do I even have a functional backup?

I have a catalog that is just under 5gb, if I navigate to the folder where it is stored and copy paste it onto my backup drive it copies in under 2 min. However, if I chose to backup my catalog on exit from inside lightroom it takes over 30 minutes (not counting testing etc). Obviously I can backup my catalog manually, but it would be nice if the built in backup feature worked like it's supposed to.
I'm running win 7 64 lightroom 64 same probelm in 4.3 and 4.4 the catalog and lightroom are stored on a ssd drive backing up to a NAS ( my typical transfer speeds are 60-80 MB/s)

I have managed to have to re-load my Lightroom 5 catalog which unfortunately is a month out of date. During that month I changed my folder structure and whilst I can see the folders and images on my hard drive, my Lightroom 5 catalog is as it was a month ago without the new folder structure and with a lot of photos missing. Obviously the link between the images and Lightroom has been lost because I changed the folder structure without backing up the catalog. re-link my photos and album structure to Lightroom ?

I have 2 layers, a text layer on top, and a shape behind it. When I add a drop shadow to the text, the shadow shows up BEHIND the shape, instead of on it. If I choose mode "Multiply," then it shows up in front but is way too big.

I must preface this by saying that I am new to LR4 and I have been trying to follow instructions in a popular book as to creating collections, etc. I have been trying to create collections and organize photos. I recently shot a wedding and went through about 900 photos and whittled it down to 350 and now today for some reason I decided to back up a previous catalog and now everything I did yesterday appears to be gone and the only photos that I see in LR are those bridal photos in that catalog.
I know that this is the most amateaur of questions, but what in the world have I done, and can I recover that previous import and the changes I made to them?

I had Photoshop CS6 installed and working on my Mac using Adobe Creative Cloud. However now a dialog appears that says "Help Improve Adobe's Product". Regardless if I approve this dialog or not Adobe Photoshop starts up with every menu option grayed and I can do nothing. I have to force quit the application. At this point it is 100% unusable.
I've googled it and seen others with a similar issue but no solutions found. I have OSX 10.8.3.
Others with similar issues. URL....No real solution other than don't use Mac Keeper (which I do not) URL....

After download and permission to continue under user account control, I receive popup menu advising me that Installation Incomplete, close Adobe Bridge - 3 choices, which always fail. My Adobe CS4 and Bridge are not open. I tried this several times with the same result.I downloaded the zip file, saved, unzip, and still get the same notice - close Bridge.

It looks like the same 2.3mb file that the update program is trying to download. Once the update is started it just keeps trying to download that file until I cancel the update.

I've been trying to reproduce this color blind conditionfor a long time now and I still didn't figure out how I can do this. I've searched for cluts but didn't find any, only this, which has some previews of them, but no any files I can load into Photoshop's Color Lookup adjustment. I've looked into Pixel Bender plugin, but I'm using CC so that doesn't work either... I've also tried it with the Index Color mode, but that really messes up my image as it has a really low color range (256). I've even tried reproducing the same effect with adjustments, channels, etc, but didn't figure it out.
Since there's a way to perfectly color proof images with this condition, I'm guessing this has to be some kind of ICC profile or something similar. Is there a way I can use it as a color profile?
