Monday Presets – 5 Across Print Preset
This week, I’ve got some really sweet print preset. First, I was looking at a frame that a friend of mine (RC) picked up for me at IKEA. It was one of those 5-across layouts. I thought “Hey, I can do that in Lightroom”. Then it actually got even cooler after I started thinking about the other week’s video on stacking panos in Lightroom. I was getting the presets ready for this week and accidentally clicked on several of the photos in my panorama stack. I looked at it and thought “Hey, now that’s pretty cool!”. It’s kind of like a fake pano spread across the layout. Now I know the photos aren’t actually stitched together but I still think it looks pretty darn cool. That said, it wasn’t created for that purpose so you can just use it for any photos. But the pano does look pretty sweet too. Enjoy.

Hi Matt,
I’m still getting the infamous “failed to convert image to native blob” nonsense.

Same here on WIndows Vista Home Premium “Failed to convert native image to blob.” message.
All other presets work just fine, thank you.

I get the Failed to convert image on blob” as well
Followed Perro’s advice – Thanks Perro!
fixed:
copy it directly to C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Print Templates\User Templates\
I’m able to print with this preset but I can’t get it to print horizontally across the long edge of the sheet, it keeps printing across the short edge which is not what I want. I’ve tried exporting as a PDF and that’s even worse and all I get is one of the boxes and a slither of the one’s either side.
Exporting to PSD doesn’t work either as you get 5 separate files.
Has anyone else had any luck?
Lightroom: 2.0
OS: Win XP professional SP3
Import at the print module:
Error: “Failed to convert native image to blob.”
On Win XP -
Double click on the preset. A box will pop up allowing you to associate a program to be able to read the extension. Select the lightroom exe file. Then it will ask you if you want to install the preset and click on yes.
I’m keep getting the ” failed to convert image to native blob ” error when I try to create a new User Template in the Print module…also get it when I execute CTRL-S in the print module trying to save print module settings…what is up with this..I can’t create a print template…sometimes it doesn’t give me an error but still does not create the template…using Vista Home Premium 32 bit….I have the latest verison of Lightroom
This helped me with the same issue, even though I hadn’t installed the presets:
