    How to find the resolution of files from within Lightroom?

    Aha! I wasn't seeing it in the metadata panel because it was displaying the wrong set of metadata. Once I choose "default", there it was. Thanks for telling me where to look. And I don't mind using a calculator, so the issue is resolved.

    Increasing resolution by interpolation for large prints?

    I'm planning to order some large prints, including a couple of adhesive vinyl prints for adhering to windows for backlit viewing. The sales rep I just talked to at designtoprint.com, which does the vinyl prints, said that I should send them a pdf and that their printer will do 1200 dpi. This has...

    How to find the resolution of files from within Lightroom?

    I don't know whether this forum or output modules would be the place for this question. I'd like to order some large prints in the near future and I could use some help figuring out how to use Lightroom to determine the optimum size for the prints. Right now I'm using the library module to...

    Exporting original jpeg files

    I have some photos where the original file is a jpeg. What's the best way to export those photos without the degradation caused by creating a new jpeg from the original one? I've been just locating the file outside of lightroom and copying it that way, but that's not as convenient as an export...

    How to change capture date-time for photos en masse?

    I just imported a bunch of photos from a camera that had it's system date-time set incorrectly. After I've figured out when one of the photos was taken, I'll know what adjustment needs to be applied to get the capture date-time right for all of them. Can I apply such an adjustment to a set of...

    Where to find an .icc profile for Flickr books?

    I'm planning to try Flickr's book printing service and I'd like to soft-proof the images in Lightroom before committing them, but I can't find an appropriate .icc profile. I tried asking in the Flickr users' forum, but got only a derisive response from someone saying that my question was...

    Problem with sorting by capture time in Library module

    In the Library module, I am sorting images by capture time. For some reason I can't fathom, some images aren't sorting correctly. For example, consider the following sequence of capture times (month/day/year, a silly format, I know). 4/10/14 11/28/13 8/8/01 ... 9/9/11 4/12/14 At first glance...

    Updated to LR5.4, saved locations gone!

    Jim, that didn't fix it. I don't know whether I had "store presets with this catalog" turned on before I updated, but maybe that was the issue. It's not a crisis, regardless; just a minor inconvenience.

    Updated to LR5.4, saved locations gone!

    Tony, thanks for the response. Sorry that I assumed "saved locations" would be obvious. In the map module, left panel, above collections list and below navigator, are saved locations. In previous versions of Lightroom (4.x-5.3) I had saved locations there. After upgrading to 5.4 the saved...

    Explain a change in metadata after round-trip to Nik Software?

    Hal, this is odd and I should have investigated it more thoroughly before posting here so as not to waste anyone's time. Sorry about that, but here's what I'm seeing. The issue appears to be with Color Efex Pro; Define 2 and Sharpener Pro: (1) Raw Presharpener are leaving metadata intact. The...

    Explain a change in metadata after round-trip to Nik Software?

    I've started using Nik Software as an external editor and I've noticed some unexpected behavior in metadata. Specifically, after round-tripping from Lightroom 5 to Nik Software and back, the returned tiff shows the date-time of the edit, rather than the capture time. I tried looking at Date Time...

    I just updated to Lightroom 5.4 and my saved locations have disappeared. Can I get them back?

    How/whether to upgrade Lightroom for new Mac

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'm thinking about upgrading Lightroom from 4 to 5. How would you recommend that I do this? Also, I don't want to use Apple's Migration Assistant to move my files, because I want to do some serious house cleaning, e.g. start from scratch. Before I considered...

    Lens Profile for Sony DSC-RX100? Should I create a custom lens profile?

    Hello All, I've just started shooting with a new Sony DSC-RX100 and I'm loving it for landscapes during trail runs, when there's no way that I could carry my DSLR. Stitching together half a dozen captures from that camera using Autopano Giga results in some really nice looking files that'll...

    icc profile for HP Designjet t1200 hpgl/2?

    I'm having trouble finding an icc profile for a icc profile for HP Designjet t1200 hpgl/2. HP want's me to use a software installation package, but the "Mac OS X HP Designjet Installer.app" keeps quitting unexpectedly. All I need is the darned icc file, does anyone know where to find it?

    Blurb

    I'm planning to order a Blurb book in the next week or so. I'll be curious to see how it turns out. I'm just going to soft-proof in Lightroom with sRGB, rather than using Photoshop with Blurb's CMYK icc profile. Could someone here explain why the "Simulate Paper & Ink" option isn't available for...

    How do you use ratings?

    This has become a very helpful discussion. I've been leaning in the direction suggested by John and described in detail at the link he posted above this post. Ratings have already proven very helpful to me in two different processes. Given my initially clumsy use of ratings, and the modest size...

    Is it really that necessary to rename files on import???

    I do rename on import, prepending the cameras original filename with the capture date-time. This results in rather long filenames, but they are almost guaranteed to be unique, which lets me keep them in a single directory.

    How do you use ratings?

    I'm still working out my image management process and I'm finding ratings very useful, but also very laborious. At present, I'm trying to rate every single image and those ratings turn out to be quite useful as criteria in smart collections. The trouble is that I often have a bunch of very...

    setting up folders

    I did think for a while about whether it would be burdensome to require unique filenames for all images. I decided that more good than harm would come of it, and it's easy to do. Renaming files on import with a name that includes capture time and the original file name from the camera almost...
