• Back to zero (or "Screw up") the Lightroom preferences file

  Important information for all platforms

  • The files and the locations of files given here are default values. Some of these places can be customized in the Lightroom \Preferences or the catalog settings dialog boxes.
  • While troubleshooting, where possible, rename the files instead of remove them.
  • If possible, back up catalogs on another hard drive or a volume of the disk where your catalog is located. For more information about the backup in Lightroom, read back up a catalog with Lightroom and look at the backup catalog on Adobe TV. (The video has been produced for Lightroom 4 but still applies to Lightroom 5.)

• This browser no longer exists in the location specified in the preview in browser preferences

  I create a new website using Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014. I tried to preview in Chrome and I got an error message saying: "this browser no longer exists in the location specified in the preview in browser preferences." It presents a fine Preview in Internet Explorer. I'm using Chrome as my default, but I personally have not gone and reset anything, so I don't understand why this is happening since I created my latest Dreamweaver site. Any ideas how can I fix?

  Go to edit the list of browsers.  Find the Chrome program file on your local hard drive.

• Curious question about previews of Lightroom and Camera Raw Cache

  Posted in the Flickr Lightroom group as well:

  I noticed something on the previews of Lightroom (3.6) and cache Camera Raw, intrigued me.

  I create a new, empty catalog, and purge the Cache of Camera Raw.

  Then I import ONE Nikon (NEF) RAW file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 mega pixels - 10,036,224).

  Then I export this NEF file to a TIFF 8-bit file uncompressed. You can expect this file size TIFF about 30 MB (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is size of 30,135,830 bytes. If you export the TIFF file same ZIP compression to specify the size of the resulting file is 10,834,038 bytes. The compression achieved here is obviously going to be highly specific to the image, but so far no surprises.

  When you import I said make 1:1 previews and I spend in the Loupe and see the whole picture in the format 1:1. I also visit the development module and do a lot of manipulation on the image but not cropping.

  At the conclusion of all this, I got out of Lightroom and examine file camera Raw Cache as well as previews of Lightroom file size. It would be my expectation that the previews folder should have a complete image rendering and Camera Raw Cache should also have a display form of raw data. What do you expect the size of these respective folders to be?

  Indeed - in my tests that the previews folder totals a simple 1 675 264 bytes and Camera Raw Cache that contains an image DAT file cached one is simply 267 374 bytes. This doesn't seem like enough bits to preserve the image rendered, nor there at - it an image is full-size, nestled in the actual catalog - the file is not large enough to hold that. And yet I can use the magnifying glass to the format 1:1 mode and move an image to the image without loading delays (even when you import multiple files).

  I wonder if I missed something obvious in my analysis and that, if someone might not care to speculate on what magic Adobe's practice here. Even if grant us them special algorithms to compress their insights that I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much larger than the file ZIP compressed TIFF realizes.

  And for those who might think to ask - I have told these experiences with multiple raw images and on MAC or PC platforms.

  I look forward to answers or interesting theories or maybe someone could reproduce the results of the experiment and report.

  The previews in the preview cache are JPEG files. JPEG compression is much more effective than the lossless zip compression. No magic here.

  Mr. Chan is obviously the expert on regards to the Camera Raw Cache.

• Previews of Lightroom appearing only a few at a time?

  All my image previews appear grey in my Lightroom library. When I then open an image and begin to develop it, it then appears in the library, as well as my background Preview toolbar. I will develop in 3-4 images and they all appear, but as I'm on the 4th or the 5th first that I developed then goes back to gray and so on. It's as if he can only handle showing previews of 3-4 images at once? Of course, I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. I have a MacBook AIr from 2015. Everything goes normally but she is a terrible pain in the workflow. Any help is appreciated!

  Hi aguenther,

  Please, rename the Preview.Lrdata folder and restart the Lightroom and check if that helps.

  Steps to follow:

  Go to the image folder > folder Lightroom > Yo should see there should be a file that ends with "Lightroom 6 catalog Previews.lrdata", rename the folder to "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata.old.

  Let us know if that helps.

  Kind regards

• I use Lightroom 5 on a PC. When I run the program, I get the message "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the cache and must leave the preview. Lightroom will try to solve the problem next time. In french: Lightroom a r

  I have not found any solution. You have an idea? Thank you.

  Your preview cache was damaged and should be removed.

  Using Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder, navigate to the folder that contains your Lightroom Catalog - usually within my pictures or photos.

  Delete the folder with the name ending by Previews.lrdata. Do not remove anything else. Now, launch Lightroom.

• Lose all lightroom preferences

  I have LR 5.7.1.  Every month or two when I l open Lightroom, a screen I have to re - enter my serial number, little as I have to buy an upgrade.  When this happens and LR opens, all my preferences for export, what info appears on the pictures, etc. disappeared.  I guess they gave to the standard ones.  What happens and is it possible to prevent this?  It takes awhile to reset everything.  In the past, I forgot some items, getting to files sent to the printer, saved in low quality, ruining several impressions.

  Can someone please, please help me?  I posted this question before with no responses.

  Thank you

  Bill

  I read your post again, and the question is different from that in the link I provided. If I understand correctly, you can use LR with specific changes to your preferences settings & and they 'stick' for a few months. At some point LR you request your serial number tenant and appear to be recovering its default preferences file.

  The most likely cause of this question connects to Windows after a system Shut Down with a different user account name. I tried with my connection to the guest account in Windows 7 and the first thing I see at the launch of LR is the entry to record screen and serial number Adobe. Make sure you use the same Windows login accountt when working in LR and this issue must stop.

• Slideshow prepare Preview question Lightroom CC

  This topic appeared before, but I was not able to use the answers to solve this problem. In simple terms, I watched the video of Julieanne on the preparation of a slide show. I've selected 30 dng and tiff in a catalog as instructed, press Play, and two hours later it stuck on "preparation of preview for the number 20 of the slide" and would not go further. MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz 8 G RAM Yosemite 10.10.5.  I can do all create iPhoto/Photo Slideshow thing in two minutes. What is going on?

  Thank you.

  Hi Mike,.

  Please create a new collection in Lightroom with 10-15 images and then switch to the slide show module in Lightroom.

  Try and play the slide show that you created in the collection.

  Please let us know if it helps.

  Kind regards

• Previews of Lightroom

  I just got a new MacBook Pro and Lightroom 5 and other older Mac applications. I am able to open my Lightroom Catalog, but the previews in the library Module are greyed out outside in the grid view and on the film, although the sides, colors, flags, etc. show, and there is the correct number of images gray for the selected folder. If I select one and move the develop module, the image appears. Any suggestions?

  Subsequently solved with the help of the Adobe chat. Built a new catalog and previews now visible. Thanks for your suggestions.

• ButtonClick led to Lightroom preferences crashing

  Dear support team... I recently purchased Adobe Lightroom 5 and worked with my images... I wanted to also try the trial version of Adobe photoshop cs6 before you buy the version complete and discover the features where we can provide images of Adobe LR5 in PSCS6 by setting up the Edit-> Preferences LR5 Variant. But whenever I click on the LR5 preferences button, the application crashes. I can't understand why? Could you please help me solve this problem and try the function that I decide to buy or not? my trial is limited to only 30 days and I'd like to solve this problem as soon as possible.

  This is a user to user forum, there is no team support from Adobe here.

  Of course, there is very little information go in your thread... like the PC/Mac/Operating Systems etc. but, if you are a Windows user try this solution: Lightroom crashes when opening preferences | Windows because there is a known problem with a number format.

  As to edit it in, you should be able to right click on the image and select 'Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6' more associates entered for Smart Object, Panorama, HDR Pro, layers etc. which should have been implemented CS6 installing.

• Help!  My Photos of Preview of Lightroom are associated with the bad image.   How can I fix it?  Thank you!

  Hello

  Part of my images from lightroom 5 were associated with bad images.  I found this after I exported the entire catalog.  How do I re - associate images so that the corrections that I made are to correct pictures?

  Thank you!

  I found the solution... I renamed all the files and made Lightroom force me to reassociate the preview images again.

• apply for time machine backup lightroom preferences

  I have a new iMac 27 inches. Previous (more recent) TM backup of my old computer could have corrupted some files (non-adobe software). Apple asked me to only migrate my apps (which I did) and then manually drag documents on. I configured CS6 and lightroom, but not the 3rd party editing applications I used as "Topaz", alien skin, and NIK came. In addition, all my preferences that have been recorded as watermarks, export settings, settings etc. of development are missing. I'm looking for files that I could drag during backup time machine to my new machine that would be the best possible save me Lightroom reconstruction from scratch. NOTE: I am able to access all my different cat files stored on external drives without problem. Just need to preferences back if possible.

  Thank you!
