Help - How to edit pictures on Lightroom when photos have already been imported / worked, can not edit images on my library!

Hi guys,.

If all goes well, a super simple question to someone... Driving me crazy right now! I have a folder on my desk of RAW (image) files, that I imported into LR up and worked. So now when I open LR and access this folder, the images are seen behind a grey colour and cannot be selected and / or worked on. Only way around it so far has been rename images, re-import them to LR and then expand them, which is of course very time consuming. How can I access these images and expand them?

Thank you much in advance!

  • Lightroom CC Trying ├a import 'New' Photos and they are greyed out and say that they have already been imported, how to make their importation?

    Upgraded to Lightroom CC a few months ago and have had major problems with importation, never had any problems before. Since the upgrade I import a map is fine, next card says pictures have already been imported and that they are grayed out. I know for a fact that I matter not yet. So frustrating! Someone please help! I even turned off the 'don't do not import suspected duplicates' box and again, it will not let add me or COPY. I will attach a screenshot.Screen Shot 2015-12-05 at 9.34.04 PM.png

    Yes, I went straight from my card. I always did it that way. Not until the upgrade did I start having issues. I ended up having to download hard disk, rename and then import it. Quite unfortunate that they changed this in the upgrade, it was nice not having to move in all directions and could go straight to LR. Thank you very much for the help!

    There is a new version 5.7.1.  If you click on install, it will install the new version instead of 5.7.

  • HP Envy 15: HPSA keep being invited to download the updates even when they have already been installed

    Hello

    I just run Windows Update 10 and everything went well.

    Then I had HP Support Assistant warned me that there are new updates for HP I did install, but now I get HPSA telling me that these updatesstill must be downloaded and installed again and again.

    Has anyone else had this and if so is there a fix for this problem.

    Kind regards

    Personally, I don't trust HPSA on my PC Win10-implementation to date, so I removed it.

    My guess is that the upgrade has kept the old version of HPSA, and what MIGHT solve this problem is to delete that and replace it with a new version from here: HP Support Assistant | HP® Official Site

    If that is fixed, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: HP - HP Support Assistant (Windows, 10, 8) troubleshooting computers. HP® customer support

    I have lightroom 6 and just got a nikon d7200, lightroom now reads the tiff file so I can not download my pictures on lightroom

    You really produce TIFF files? If you are, no matter what version of LR read them. Files NAVE, not so much. For NEF files out of this camera, you can either upgrade to the latest 6.4 or CC 2015.4, or you can download the latest free Adobe DNG converter software and use it to convert your files to DNG and import those into LR 5.7.

    Back to TIFF format. If you are trying to import those and get a message that the files cannot be read. You will need to change the permissions on the folder that you copy the image to. Change the permissions if you have read and write access.

    It is an Apple problem. They obviously fixed with a change to iTunes. Download the update on their part.

  • How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection

    Hello!

    I keep looking for an answer to this anywhere on the web and 3 books, but can't find the answer...

    How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection?

    Here's the workflow, and where I'm stuck.

    1. I chose a picture and put it in a collection.

    2. I did a whole bunch of virtual photos in the collection copies that I tried different modifications.

    3. after and during a lot of changes, I have a lot of virtual copies removed from my collection because I decided against the changes after doing some comparisons.

    4. when I went the folders to select my next picture to work away and so to add to the collection, I discovered that each of my virtual copies was in the original folder, even if I had deleted from my collection.

    5. I really don't want these virtual copies deleted to be in my home folder.  They were virtual copies of trial and error and I wanted them to really just be thrown out.

    6. how to identify these virtual copies removed-from-the-collection in my folder?  File names all look the same, and besides, I want to be absolutely certain that I have selected the right ones.  Some of the changes were very minor and would be difficult to see without laboriously go through them one by one.

    Thank you very much!!

    Anne

    No easy answer on fixing the mess other than an individual inspection of the virtual copy can't watching the Images/Edit history to determine which ones that you no longer need.

    But to help prevent the problem in the future: when you are working from a collection, you must use ALT + return back to remove a copy of Photo or virtual catalog. With just the key DELETE or BACKSPACE only deletes the photo from the collection.

  • Editing images in the library.



    Hello
    I am very new to Captivate and myself teaching on the fly. I watched the little available in Captivate tutorials and one mentioned that you can use the library for editing images in photoshop, and then automatically update in this slide in the Captivate project.

    When I open my library said edit edit with ImageReady. I tried and saved the image, but it won't let me save it as a PNG so I can't import into the library. I ended up opening the image in ImageReady, use it to send the image to PhotoShop, save is a GIF just remove the background of the slide, and then add the picture to the slide.

    This slide also had one click on the button with a text message to hover and a text message of failure that I had then to move to the front to show when you click on the page or hover the click button. It was a pain that I had to drive the background image, then use make before then bring the background again image and selecting all three components (click the 2 text boxes and the box) has not been easy.

    There must be a better way. Any ideas?

    Hi Nikki@work and welcome to our community

    When you right-click on an image in the library, that he opens with is often unknown. In my view, that the actual image file type determines which editor is used (assuming we have already been assign├⌐, which it can). But normally, you see "Edit with...". "as the only option you have. And once you choose that, you choose the editor desired. So even if ImageReady is already there, you should also be able to right click and choose "Edit with...". "even if she has been associated with. Then, open the image in the application of your choice.

    I've seen where once the change has been made in the other application and that you close the application and save the changes, the image is unable to automatically update in Captivate. But if it happens, it's pretty easy to image right click and choose update... from the context menu to synchronize the changes.

    It also points to something else that you should be aware. When you update the images that have been added since your hard drive, you probably think that you change only the images that are in the. CP file. But what you do really updates the image to the location where you inserted go! So if it is important that you maintain a pristine copy of the image, make sure you that you first save under a new name of file if you keep the original!

    Hope this helps a bit... Rick

    Windows XP does not display the default Firefox Button. If you want to see the Firefox button, go to view-> toolbars and uncheck the menu bar. (To return to the menu bar, press the ALT key to temporarily show - see what happened to the file, edit and view menus?).

    If you want to uninstall Firefox 4 you can do from the control panel "Add or remove programs". See Uninstall Firefox on your computer.
