Library module always selecting 2 images

Library module is now always select 2 images, even after any order. It started all of a sudden during the definition of metadata location in Lightroom 5.6 on Windows 10.  How to restore the normal selection behaviors?

Resolved - likely user error.  Fixed by switching to library mode compare by clicking Done.  I had accidentally entered this mode at any time by updating the metadata for the location.  The strange thing is that several years of similar use, I've never seen so far this behavior to always have a minimum of two selected images.

  • Export of different color to develop the module, but even in the library module

    Today, I came across a problem which I have not already seen in LR CC.

    I went between the library modules and develop and has seen very significant changes in the color range and brightness of my images. Images of the library have been redder and darker than in the develop module.

    The exported JPEG image color best fits my image of library module and not the image module develop such whether it should - it makes editing images very random, because I have to keep flowing back in the library module to see the actual changes that I do in the develop module.

    How can I fix this bug so that develop images are accurate representations of the exported image?

    Thank you for the update.

    Yes, that seems to result from the graphics processor.

    Suggest you go in the Lightroom preferences > performance > uncheck the option to use the graphics processor

    If that gives better results then you should try to install the latest version of the AMD graphics driver:

    Hello

    • If it works well before?
    • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    I recommend you perform the clean boot and check.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    Note:
    after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists in safe mode, create a new user account and log on to it
    see How to create and configure the user accounts in Windows XP .
    b. connect on the new user account and check if the problem persists.

  • Cannot change the metadata in the grid of the library through several selected Images

    This was bugs me for some time. It started there when I did a CC updated a few versions (about 2015.2, I think). I wrote chalked it up to a bug that they would fix it soon, but it has not been resolved.

    Since I started using Lightroom 2, I used to be able to select several images in the grid view library and then modify the metadata in the Panel to the right and he would write to all. For example, I select 12 photos and set the title information and location. So when I watched each picture they would have the new title & location applied to them.

    After a CC update I lost this ability - metadata only, can I change through selected images is using keywords.

    Because I've lost this ability, I serve the copy metadata (SHIFT-ALT-CMD-C) and paste (SHIFT-ALT-CMD-V) to change the metadata in multiple images, but it's a clunkier and more time-consuming method. I really liked being able to hold down the Command or SHIFT and select several images to change all their metadata quickly.

    Could someone help me? Am I missing some setting or preference?

    My nail of the thumb in bridge always have evidence the adjustments I make to RAW files. Now, for the first time they have not. However when I select the images adjusted and open them in CS6 adjustments are there. I restarted bridge and PS, and I restarted the computer (Mac). Still the same problem.

    I thank assani, but it wasn't the answer. The problem was, I finally understood, that the "option for generation of quality and preview thumbnails" wasn't on "high quality" as it usually is. I have no idea how this happened as I never change this option.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • I'm editing in the bright room of Adobe and when I change in the develop module, I get the image I want, but when I see in the library module in its final State, it changed and degraded. Why is this happening?

    I'm editing in the bright room of Adobe and when I change in the develop module, I get the image I want, but when I see in the library module in its final State, it changed and degraded. Why is this happening?

    The difference between the raw edition photo and editing a PSD is that the PSD has black points and white pinned to the visible pixel values, the raw photo has still "headroom" with values of pixel darker than black visible and brighter than white, so when you export the raw file , there may be details that have improved (or obscured if it was another type of image) of the perception and mapping of the Compensation of the black spot on the final color profile.

    This means not PS is better or LR is lower, it is enough for you to go to a different type of image.  If you don't have PS to do final Assembly, you can probably do the same thing by exporting the raw in a 16 bit ProPhotoRGB TIF file, re-import this TIF and then set it LR, possibly using the tone curve to make the pitch black dark areas.

  • Selection of files in the library module

    I'm new to Lightroom so please forgive me if the answer to this question is obvious, but I was not able to find a way to do... How does choose an only files of a particular extension, e.g. TIFF or dng files?

    In the library Module in the grid view with your photos selected on the left, click metadata top of page you will see: the label Date of lens camera.

    When you click the label, you will see a menu of choices it click File Type JPG or whatever you want.

  • Anyone with adjusting the image transfer/export issues to develop library Modules in LR 2.5?

    I have problems of transfer of image files in the mod to develop library mod.   I did the original DNG files image adjustments in the develop module in LR 2.5.  Once I have make the adaptations in the mod to the point and press 'G' Brown in the library module, adjustments do no more transfer to the library and displays and image with washed out colors, contrast, etc.   Also, I tried to export the file corrected from the module development of library such as TIFF, JPEG and PSD.   The resulting export files arrives and poster with faded color, contrast, etc..   In both cases, if you press "D" key and go back to the develop module the adjusted image file is there.

    I have original TIFF files which are adjusted in the develop module and the transfer/Export without problem.    No idea what could be the solution with LR 2.5 and DNG?    I use LR 2.5 on iMac 64 bytes Snow Leapard OS.    Thank you.

    It sometimes takes a little time before a new preview is generated for use in library view. Usually a few seconds. Zoom in and out in the grid to see if that is the question. Another problem may be that you have an image with a lot of specific details of the colors, for example, a field of grass with flowers, neon lights, etc. In the develop module, the preview with zoom out does not show the result of color noise reduction. It will only show you the color with zoom 1:1 noise reduction or more. The result is sometimes a saturated picture to develop. So when you go to the library grid view, a new preview is generated that the color noise reduction will take into account and you end up with less saturated images. To check if this is the case, reduce the default color noise reduction 25 to zero and return to the display of the library.

  • How can I select several images contiguous hundreds of thousands of people in my library and copy them...

    How can I select several images contiguous hundreds of thousands in my organizer of items and copy them to a USB key so I can share with a family member who doesn't have photoshop?

    I fear that even if I find a method to select and move a batch of photos, images can be in a format that his computer is not supported.

    If I understand correctly...

    The photos you have posted in a particular order (probably the result of a selection). You can select contiguous files by clicking the first item, and then, with the SHIFT key, click the last item you want. That should highlight your contiguous files.

    Then, you use the function "export" in the file menu.

    In the dialog box, you have several useful options: file format, compression, the file size, the possible change of name and the destination. This destination can be a USB key or a Dropbox folder, as suggested by hatstead.

    If you have a large number to select, it's usually possible create a search with various criteria so that only the desired files are indicated.

    If you are not satisfied with the sort order (chronological, filename, import batch), I suggest to create an album. In an album, you can manually sort you want by moving the thumbnails in the navigation area. (Depends on your version of elements).

    Then all you have to do after that selection should select all (Ctrl A) and to export.

    could have activated the function Compare on a second monitor (that you have or do not have). If this is the case, Lightroom will always select two photos to compare. Click SHIFT + C to disable the comparison function, select a photo and see if Lightroom will select always two photos (usually not).

    The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

    If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

  • Lightroom CC - development of non-visible presets on the context menu in the library Module

    Just installed Lightroom CC 2015 - loving the speed increase in the develop module.

    When I select a bunch of images in the library module and right-click (Windows of course), 'developing' settings from the context menu has a number of things listed, but missing completely all presets that are usually visible.  This was voluntarily removed in Lightroom CC, or is this a bug?

    If I pass the develop module, all my presets appear on the left hand side correctly.

    In the library module, they are all listed in the box "Saved Preset" above to develop quickly, but they are just missing now from the context menu.

    I tried to reset all my prefs (ctrl + alt + shift on restart) - still the same.

    Any ideas?
