    TWo quick questions

    I think you have misunderstood the function of the three checkboxes in the Basic tab. First, the first two are in no way connected to the Upright functions and do not have to be checked before using any of the Upright options. They are merely links to the same checkboxes in the other tabs. In...

    Re-editing a Healing Brush area

    You can't start a new healing/cloning swipe inside the previous one, but you can start just outside it - as close as possible to the edge, as soon as you get the + symbol - and then swipe into it, thus creating overlapping swipes. Also, if you do a single circle spot heal (click and release...

    removing posterization

    Yes, causing posterization in a 14 bit or even a 12 bit Raw is not easily done and even more difficult in 16 bit RGB output to a Nik application. Attempting to save an extremely underexposed shot with +3 to +4 Exposure might do it.

    Copy camera profile to catalog

    Nevertheless that is where the software supplied by QPCard for creating .dcp profiles puts them. It is also where I put invariate profiles supplied by forum member Nik Player several years ago, as per his instructions IIRC. I don't know about the Color Checker profile maker, but I wouldn't be...

    Erase customized crop preset

    I can't think of any reason why 30:40 would look different from 3:4. The numbers are ratios, not crop sizes, and 3:4, 6:8, 15:20, 30:40, and 99:132 are all identical ratios.

    Copy camera profile to catalog

    I disagree with the above. The location given by PhilGF is correct except for one thing. Inside the Camera Raw folder is a folder called Camera Profiles. Any properly made profile with the .dcp extension that is in that folder will be in the menu of profiles for any and every catalog and would...

    Advanced Healing Brush

    One of the challenges with clones is avoiding their being too obviously cloned because the cloned area is an exact replica of another area in the image. I break up my clones, disguise them as it were, by inserting smaller clones into a bigger one - either entirely within or overlapping.

    Advanced Healing Brush

    Dragging a new spot onto an old spot was a technique I used a lot in previous versions and it remains essentially the same in LR5. I am also really enjoying the new fast removal of electric cables.

    Advanced Healing Brush

    If you want to apply a second brush type heal you have to start slightly outside the area of the first application, but you can then brush into that area. I frequently do overlapping heal/clones in this way. If you want a spot application, you can do it anywhere outside the brushed area and then...

    LR5 bug

    Thanks Hal, that may be the answer. But instead of the fault lying with the mouse, the culprit may well be my somewhat less than rock steady finger.

    LR5 bug

    When you select the Radial Filter it is highlighted - the circle icon becomes brighter. Also, the "Done" button appears on the lower tool bar and the cursor becomes a cross. When I click on the image all three of these actions are undone; the icon is deselected, the tool bar returns to its...

    LR5 bug

    I'm having a problem with the Radial Filter that I never had in the Beta. I open the filter and click on the image where I want it to be and the filter turns off and because I have clicked on the image it zooms to 1:1. I go back to Fit and try again, sometimes three or four times. I have a...

    Image goes blurry during adjustment

    Library previews and Develop previews are two different things and the size of Library previews, either Standard previews or 1:1 previews has no effect on the display in the Develop module. Until now it has only been possible for users to change the size of Develop previews by zooming in...

    Sharpening - in LR or PSD or both? And when to apply it?

    In a recent lecture by Eric Chan in which he discussed what operations are best done in LR and what is better done in PSCS, one of the things he mentioned was lens corrections, perspective corrections and rotations. According to him, each operation needs to be done separately in PS and each...

    LR 4.4 - Adjusting Exposure

    It also depends on the way you use your camera, what you consider proper exposure. If you use the film-legacy methods of exposing for medium grey or use an incident meter, your exposure may be very different than an ETTR exposure, especially if the subject has a short native tonal range.

    Colour with the adjustment brush

    No HSL, but you can use the color picker at the bottom of the Brush functions window. Either choose a color within the box or select a color in your image by clicking on the eye dropper and dragging it to the desired color. To completely replace the original color set Saturation to -100...

    Adjustment Brush Bug?

    I have the same bug in my brush; every time I start a new swipe the overlay disappears. Double clicking "O" brings it back until I start brushing again. Windows 7 - 64 bit, 8 GB RAM, i7.

    New Nikon distortion correction tables vs. enabling corrections in LR4

    I don't have Nikons, but I would assume that they are like other brands in that lens corrections are done only to jpgs from the camera, not Raws.

    Convert all to Black and White, don't change individual exposures???

    When you used the Synch function you are presented with a checklist of which parameters you want to synchronize. You can choose one, several or all, so you can, if you wish, synch only the conversion to B/W.
