    Question about exporting

    Another, probably better, way to go is to create a virtual copy and edit that your second way. Then you have both versions of your photograph in your catalogue so you never loose editing work that you are happy with.

    Anyone would know how to replicate this preset on lightroom?

    Or you could fire up google and search for pesets and find one that is similar... First hit in my search was The Ultimate Photography Bundle: $5,000+ of Products for Just $99 (Limited Time Offer) - PhotographyPla.net which contains this preset that I think is pretty close: Soft Colors...

    2015.6 breaks publishing checks

    Excellent. Maybe we'll be lucky. We have no chance if we never tell them - so thanks.

    2015.6 breaks publishing checks

    I have been experiencing this since the beginning of my using output modules in LR. I'm just ignoring it. I recently moved my images and catalog to a new HD and that process cleared all my previews (I don't back up previews) so all my collections think all their images need to be republished...

    2015.6 breaks publishing checks

    Last night I checked this out on my catalog. Like I said the tracking of what been modified and needs to be republished is all over the place so it took me a while to find a published collection that I had not edited and was still marked as up to date. I found one from 2014 and I switched to...

    LR6 outpaced by CC

    True. Just relating my feelings after the upgrade to 6.0. That was an experience I did not like and did not appreciate. Right now all is good and I working away happily. Every now and then I think about the last experience and how I would feel if it is repeated (or worse) next time but for...

    2015.6 breaks publishing checks

    I have experienced photos spontaneously being marked as modified and needing to be republished throughout my use of LightRoom. Note I do not use Smug mug so my experience is only related in that I see the same thing but I have been seeing it since I started using LR. The two plugins I use that...

    LR6 outpaced by CC

    I find it frustrating and mildly insulting but I have done it. What concerns me is the signal that they don't really want to sell it that way which just means its days are numbered. So as I am trying to figure out or follow the instructions on buying it I have this felling I should be spending...

    LR6 outpaced by CC

    My big problem is that Adobe makes it hard to purchase the perpetual license version. So far each time they did offer an upgrade, their web site made it difficult for people to just buy what they want. I find that upsetting and feels like a signal that they don't want my business. That is...

    What's happening here??

    Glad to hear it. I did not consider an overheated card could cause that but I guess it actually makes sense.

    What's happening here??

    The rest of your window is fine. My guess is that LR's use of the GPU is no going well. Some graphics cards / drivers are not supported. This talks about blue or white screen display of images and how to turn off the use of the GPU: Adobe Lightroom GPU Troubleshooting and FAQ

    Multiple Export styles.

    Actually I think this would be a useful feature. I have patterns of multiple exports I do for many clients (give them images sized for web and images sized for printing). I would love to be able to select a few export pre-sets and have them run all at once. Right now I do it by exporting the...

    On1 to release a new (from the ground up) RAW converter and non destructive image editor.

    Interesting idea. I like it. If Adobe offered that kind of pricing I would be there. Adobe's continued annoying execution on their subscription pricing is the reason I am keeping my eye on things like this release - and others. I hope I don't have to switch away but it seems that I need to...

    Sorry for being so long in coming back here :-) just busy. Here is a screen grab. Right now your signature is the biggest :-) it is probably not big enough for me to start contemplating want it off but almost :-) There are not really anyone that has an over sized signature - yet. It is...

    Deleting Bracketed Exposure Files after they have been merged to create an HDR image?

    I do the same with the added step that I stack the pano or HDR images under the final version. That way when you look at the grid view or sort by stars you see the final version but I can always easily go back to work on the original files if I need to.

    New Forum Software - Bugs & Feature Requests

    OK after reading some more today I can see a minor problem starting up - signatures that are way to long. Once signatures start getting over three or four lines the chances that a persons signature is bigger than their content starts going up fast. Call me picky but that starts to bug me...

    When downsizing panorama image to jpeg, need to re-size image to 940 x 198 pixels.

    That's great because I sometimes do the same thing (for my Wordpress based website) and I keep having to get close and then open the file in Paint.Net to get the size exactly correct.

    When downsizing panorama image to jpeg, need to re-size image to 940 x 198 pixels.

    I keep meaning to try this out and I keep forgetting to actually do it. Here is my idea: make the virtual copy and then use the crop tool to create a custom crop setting that is 940 x 198 and then export it using 940 along the long side. That should always product exactly what you want. Like...

    Oh good I was trying to figure that out. The old double click on the talk bubbles was pretty handy for that. +1 looking good. I also like the light style - much easier to read. One thing that would be nice that I have seen in other forums I frequent: "first unread message in the next...

    Using the watermark features to put client's name on their head shot

    I have installed the Mogrify plug-in and it seems to work with my NextGEN Gallery publish service too. I am publishing my first gallery to test it out. I already verified that exporting for printing works well. This seems like a good solution. Thank you.

    Using the watermark features to put client's name on their head shot

    Great thanks I will check that out. I know pretty much zero about the print module because I do not print on my own printer - I have a local lab that I use. Sounds like you are saying I can use the print module to create .jpg files though. I will look at that and at Mogrify2.
