When I use the ratings filter with the CIB catalog of photos it works fine. But when I apply it to my own it doesn't. I follow the exact procedures but it doesn't seem to work the same way. After I have applied some star ratings to my photos, and I have all media displayed in the media browser, I go up to the filter by ratings stars and click on one of them (for example, I click on five stars). I would expect that the browser would eliminate all the images except those with a five star rating. This is how it works with the CIB images. But with mine, only some of the displayed images are eliminated, and the ones with five stars are scattered amongst the remaining images. For all of them that did not meet the criteria, there is a small circular badge with a slash line through it at the upper right of the thumbnail. I cannot get this function to perform correctly despite numerous attempts. The only thing I see as different from the CIB work is that I have stacked my photos into 5 stacks. But when I try using the ratings filter, I have expanded the stacks to show all 116 images.
How do I transfer both the tags and the ratings (stars) from PSE 5 to PSE 11? I have years worth of pictures tagged with names and rated with stars and can't figure out how to transfer them all to PSE 11. I'm on Windows 8.
I have Photoshop 11 and wish to put the star ratings to my photos. They are presently not being shown. I followed the video which states to go into View and click on Details. I did this and all the showed up was the date
I am in the process of copying my old pictures to my new computer, and it seems like the ratings info I assigned in Bridge didn't go with them. Where are the files that has this information as well as all of the non-destructive editing in Camera Raw (or is the editing part saved in the raw file?)
im designing a DVD cover and i need some good quality movie ratings, such as PG, U etc and i also need the Dolby sound and possibly the white box that contains all the movie information eg Running time, Format, widescreen
I am noticing some issues in Lightroom 4.3. How to have picks and ratings appear in the filmstrip. I have this selected in Preferences and previously was able to see picks and ratings.
I am unable to move the photo within the crop (I don't see the "hand".)
When I import files from Photo Mechanic to LR4.1 the star ratingsfro PM show in LR, but when I then export again from LR the star ratings are gone in Photo Mechanic. Obviously I need to tag somewhere in the prefs, problem is I can't find where?
I use a iMac to capture and tag photos as finalist. I then transfer the folder to another machine for editing. When I add the images into the editing machines lightroom, all the tags, ratings, stars, colors don't show up.
When I was on Lr3 on both machines, these tags transferred. Even when a client used Bridge, they showed up. Now, not so much.
I recently copied all Lightroom folders/catalog /etc to a larger hard drive. Upon opening Lightroom for the first time since the move, almost all of the edits made in Photoshop and/or 3rd Party programs are gone and with them the ratings for those photos. Where are these photos/ratings stored and are they retrievable. Again, I copied ALL folders and catalog to the new drive.
My ratings are no longer visible on the thumbnails along the bottom of the develop module. The color codes are visible. Under View Options, Show Ratings and Picks is checked. The photos definitely have ratings and filtering by ratings is working. Perhaps I accidentally turned something off. how to make them visible again?
I'm an amateur artist who sometimes used, in Photoshop Elements 9, a filter in the "render" category that could change the lighting. It was terrific for creating things like candlelight, campfire glows, or (in this admittedly amateurish backdrop for my website) sunrises through objects. Now I have Photoshop Elements 12, and the feature has vanished! Is there a legal way to transfer it from 9 to 12, since it's all from the same company? Or would that violate the tampering ban even though it's from one Adobe product to another? If it's legal, where is the filter stored, and where do I move it to? URL...
In the course of migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8, I ended up with a large number of duplicate pictures. Is there a way to filter duplicates to avoid going through the 9,000+ in my data base?
On opening Lightroom 4.1 it appears to have reverted back to how it was a few months and so I lost all of the images I was working on. On reimporting them back into Lightroom, this was performed quickly as if perhaps they were remembered, however all ratings and edits remained lost. Do you know if it is possible to recover these?
I'm running LR 4.1 RC and recently all the icons disappeared from the photos in the film strip at the bottom. I can no longer see star ratings, the icon for the quick collection, crop icon, or anything else. I did View Options (Right click) and everything is checked on.
I have found that the filter makes automatic changes to images. For example, if I correct a vignette with no sturctural sliders touched, then save the setting, the image appears in my editing window signifcantly altered with altered barrel configurations. So, I have to redo and compensate or just forget about it. This is not a problem with an image I want to correct--architectural, for instance. But, who wants to start fixing issues that the software is creating? I would like to disable this but have not found a setting yet.
I have just edited a number of photos on my computer by adding ratings and keywords. I tried to export them to an external hard drive, so I could free up space on my computer, but I discovered that copies of those photos already existed on the external HD. I selected the "overwrite" option, but the ratings and keywords didn't copy over from the computer versions to the hard drive versions. Is there a way of doing that?
when I select an area of a photo and attempt to use the 'dust and scratches' filter, Elements 11 jumps to the 'Hand Tool' and locks up. This is on a Windows 8 machine.
When I use the spherical filter in the horizontal mode in order to narrow the center of my picture slightly, the filter creates evenly spaced horizontal lines. Is there a way to avoid this? Here is the funny thing. If I rotate the image 90 degrees, then apply the filter using "vertical only" the lines do not appear. The lines only appear when I use "horizontal only"!
We would like to export RAW files in their original RAW format AND retain their color correction and stars labels. We would then like to import these exported RAW + XMP files into other Lightroom Catalogs. Sometimes when we do this, however, the color correction and stars ratings from the last catalog are not visible.
1. I have a number of folders where the photo's where stored on my Mac HD. I then moved these folders to a new location on an external HD. I re-imported these folders into Lightroom and they showed up under the external HD. However, all of the colour coding/ratings and even the adustments I have made to the images are not visibible. Is there a way I can correct this?
2. I've also imported a number of folders to Lightroom that were originally colour coded/rated in Bridge and edited in Adobe Camera RAW. Again the edits that I made to these and the ratings info is not visible. Is there a way I can change this?
3. Is there a way to search for duplicates within a particular folder or within the whole library?
When i use lightroom on 2 monitors i look mostly at the loupe view on the second monitor to judge or cull my pictures. I can see the resultant stars, colors and reject flags on the grid view on the primary monitor. but i cant see the ratings on the loupe view. I sometimes get confused as to whether i actually rated or color coded a particular photo in a similar series, but i have to look back at the primary monitor to make sure. Am I missing something? Is there some way to have a large view of the picture but include rating info on the same screen?
I have PSE 11. When working with the Bloat or Pucker tools in the Liquify filter, the Brush Pressure option fades to gray; the only slider I can actually change is the Brush Size. The problem seems to have started about three weeks ago on my old laptop, which was due to be replaced in any case. I've since purchased a new laptop and have done a full install of PSE 11 on it from the original disks - but the problem still persists.
Curser is dragging across the image and distorting even when not clicking on it. is the proxy image in the dialog box adjustable? the resolution is to hight. I have 16G of ram so thats not the problem. (it works ok on smaller low res images)
PSE10 using Windows 7 64bit system. When I use the Dust and Scratch filter, I can see the improvement in the photo (or the inset) , but when I click OK, it goes back to the way it was. This happens whether I use "Preview" or not.
