Using Lightroom with DXO Optics

Hello

I just started using Lightroom and on the advice of a friend, he also began to use DXO Optics Pro. What I've read, DXO is used to make global changes and Lightroom for specific changes. He seems to have an overlap with characteristics between the two products. My eye is not enough NET see the differences, if any, in the settings I could achieve in DXO vs Lightroom for example of tone curve, color etc.. I wonder if someone who has used DXO noticed if DXO manages some changes better then Lightroom and visa versa. I'm really better to do most or all of my global changes in DXO?

Thank you

Michael

If you work with raw data, you have little to decide at some point that you will lose this capacity using these two products. If make you correction or other work Dx0 lens, you will spend partly converted (linear DNG) to LR so that you are not really working with the raw data more. This is an important consideration in the workflow. Anyway, there was a recent thread on this on Luminous Landscape, you can choose through it, then come back and ask questions here (or here):

    At home, I have a desktop PC with all my files from lr stored on drive NAS I want to be able to access and modify the macbook when away from home.

    1 is it possible or I need a Mac computer or replace cell phone based on windows?

    2 I use remote access to NAS or use previews and catalog sync?

    I am able to use lightroom with windows xp s/p 3?

    Title of the message was edited by: Brett N

    No, with Win XP as an operating system, you can only use version LR3.x.

    From 4.0 win7 is a mandatory prerequisite.

    Ditto for Mac: they also need a minimum version of the OS for LR4.

  • Workflow with DXO Optics pro 11 and opening 3.6

    Hello everyone. I work with opening 3.6. I recently installed DXO Optics pro 11 as a trial version. When I try to upload a photo to DXO in the hole (as an external editor, I have configured DXO) most of the time the following message appears: error loading, bulk prepare [m_identifier blur =], bulk to prepare, in the block prepare [scale = 0 Get Correction(). Identifier (= blur)], block prepare Exception caught in function the SD delta block prepared [m_isRawimage = false],.

    I contacted support DXO, who confirmed that the only reliable way to use DXO must import a picture directly into DXO, edit and then export it to the opening. Any other suggestions please?

    Suggestion - follow the advice you got support DXO

    This looks like a photo like Aperture Manager and thus you cannot share photos between two databases except by exporting an import in the other - you can not use a photo managing as an external editor

  • I use Lightroom with an external hard drive?

    I have my Lightroom Catalog and photos stored on an external hard drive. When I try to import photos from my camera card into the Lightroom Catalog I get this message "could not open the lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom." I have Lightroom 5.7.1 and uses a Macbook pro. Should I be storing my LR catalog on my laptop and not the external hard drive?

    Hi robinbeaton,

    Greetings!

    Should I be storing my LR catalog on my laptop and not the external hard drive?

    You can save the Lightroom catalog on your laptop and the external drive.

    But storing on the external drive is only useful if you access Lightroom with catalog even on other computers too.

    "Could not open the lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom.

    Do you have you installed or used Lightroom before 6/cc?

    This error appears when you try to open 6/cc Lightroom Catalog Lightroom 5.

    Kind regards

  • How to use lightroom with a Canon EOS 7 d mark ii

    I use Lightroom for everything and love.  It is fantastic with all my Canon cameras.   However, I just bought the new Canon 7 d mark ii and Lightroom does not read the raw files.   I don't see Adobe with updates to the new Raw file.   I couldn't find the new camera on Canon website to save it for their defence.   All solutions.

    For now, I use the tracking solution:

    Import RAW in Canon Digital Photo Professional, export in batch and convert your RAW to TIFF. Open Lightroom and import the TIFF as "Apply" (not convert to DNG). You can edit your photos in Lightroom!

    Kind regards

  • How to use LightRoom with elements of Prime Minister?

    I learned recently from LightRoom 5 and quite comfortable with it. I'm now working on the film editing, starting with Prime Minister 11 elements. I'm just starting to go through it and I see that it fits in an organizer that looks German to the Group of items. Problem is that I am already using LR for the organization. Am a little confused.

    Can anyone suggest how to collaborate with LR and elements of Prime Minister?

    A secondary issue has to do with the management of audio files. I see that the elements Organizer includes also audio files. But LR does not work. So far I've managed audio with Windows Media Player. Can anyone offer suggestions for moving forward with audio management?

    I use Lightroom 5.2 and Prime Minister 11 elements on a laptop to the PC i7 optimized video fast with a lot of memory.  There's even a Blu - Ray burner!

    My files photo and video are first copied and stored by the camera and the date.  Then, I use LR to organize and preview, review and select photos and clips.  IMO, the ability of a snippet clip of LR is very good.  LR will allow you to make a few simple changes to clips but I use for video, only of the photos.  My photos will be a mixture of JPG and RAW and I will tune them with LR.  Some of the pictures can get some additional masking or HDR work elsewhere and then brought back in LR.

    As I saw the clips as well as photos, I want to use I put them in a collection of LR.  Then I prepare a specific folder of the project on my SSD named something like "holiday".   If it's a big project, I'll do a few subfolders such as city names.

    The big step is to 'Export' of copies of all of the goods that I have chosen for the collection.  I open the collection and select everything in it.  Right-click, choose Export, set the destination, rename them if you want, select "include the video", select "Original" video format, select PSD for images and press the export button.

    The reason for the 'Original' video is because I don't want any additional compression or conversion of video clips.  I want elements of Prime Minister to do so.  The reason for "PSD", is I want my photos always LR settings appear before putting them in the project.

    Then I opened a new project of pre.  Before adding any of the assets, make sure that the "scratch disks" is assigned to the project folder.

    With the game of "scratch disks", I then load assets.  One of the primary video clips making sure is the first to be placed on the timeline, as that adjusts the "project settings" if necessary.  Then I begin to build the video with the security of knowing that I work only on a set of copies of image and clip.

    My audio file management is made entirely in the way old-fashioned in Windows Explorer.  I have a folder of audio and a system of folders and descriptive file names.  I can preview them in Windows Explorer before you import a copy into a project folder.  Clip length and volume settings are made to copy it in pre.  I often buy an audio clip of $2 Vimeo specific for the project because I like having a license to use the music!

    When I finished, I move the folder of the project somewhere for long term storage.

    Hope some of this works for you.  If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear.

  • Using Lightroom with Photoshop CS3 6

    I currently use Photoshop CS3 and really didn't want to spend at this time (long story don't ask) I think the purchase of 6 Lightroom and I see that the manual for the LR6 indicates that it will work with the CS3 version. Does anyone has experiences using this combination? Thank you.

    No reason it should not work.

    The option "Edit in Photoshop" - function will be limited, but it'll work. All features requires the ACR plugin in Photoshop to be at the same version level. You lose also some other ' Open as... ". "- features in Photoshop that also require corresponding versions.

    But the basic features - editing in Lightroom and send the result ended up in Photoshop - work.

    Disclaimer clause - like Jitendra I have not really tried.

  • Is it possible to use Lightroom with several computers that are not networked?

    I'm new to Lightroom, even though I am a professional photographer for over 15 years. Currently, I use the software that came with my camera to process my RAW files, Professional Digital Canon's Pro for a 5 d Mark II.

    I've been evaluating the lasest version of Lightroom to consider buying it. So far, I like the capacity expanded to setting the image and improvements. However, in my current workflow, I need to be able to save the settings to be able to transfer the files to another computer. Is this possible with Lightroom? With Digital Pro, I can edit a RAW file and it will save the adjustments any computer, I opened the image file on. I have to be able to replicate this process in order to convey to our production department how I want an adjusted and cropped image.

    I downloaded the version track on two computers, then the images imported into Lightroom. Adjustments made, then copied the images to a flash drive. Images downloaded from the flash drive to my computer laptop, then re-imported the images in Lightroom and adjustments were not saved.

    Thanks for any help.

    After some research, my answer lies in the XMP file. Whenever I make changes to the image, I can save my settings by creating an XMP (CTRL S) file. He rewrote it in the original image folder so when I burn the file by hand to my production team, the xmp files parleyed my settings of the image. In turn, they can make adjustments and send them to me, if necessary. Just took some time to find the information, because even if I am kicking of tires on LR4, it was a video LR1 who gave me the information.

  • How to use Lightroom with Photos Apple?

    I just purchased Lightroom CC and I can't find my photos I use Apple Photos app to store them all. I have a mixture of photos from the iPhone as well as high quality JPEG files and my Nikon RAW files. I use pictures to import what I use and pay for icloud, so I can access all my photos on my iPhone and iPad and my MacBook. I also save them automatically to Dropbox.

    I've got about 2200 photos to about 28 GB. Do I need to transfer all out of Photos Apple? I am very confused on how to proceed.

    Rob

    First of all, you don't want to use BOTH at the same time, it is because the programs don't speak to another, and so whatever you do in one program is unknown to the other program. Basically, it would be twice as much work, but not twice the advantage and also opens the possibility of creating confusion.

    You want to choose a program and use it as your software "organize" and also as your software to 'change '. Which one you choose is up to you.

    To transfer photos to Photos in Lightroom, you need to export your images of Photos to a location on the hard drive and then then import them into Lightoom.

  • can I use lightroom with lightroom app 6?

    I have lightroom 6 and my mobile app of the trial has expired.  Someone told me that lightroom mobile app is now available for owners of 6 lightroom and not only to the subscribers of lightroom CC.  Is this true?

    Hi gabrielc67795888,

    I'm sorry, but Lightroom Mobile is no longer available with Lightroom Creative Cloud, not with Lightroom (perpetual) 6.
