Dec 8, 2012Images on my laptop from 2 photoshoots in the studio today were EXPORTED from laptop as catlog and imported to desktop as catalog.
I imported without moving the files anywhere since I was instructed to move that folder to its final resting place.
The 125 images were importred into LR4 but I see they are still CR2 files.
Is there a way to convert these to DNG inplace? or is it safe to re-import these. I don't want the side car gig.
Lightroom :: Can Update Catalog On Laptop And Then Transfer Updates To Master Catalog On Desktop
Jan 13, 2011I don't want to have the original files on both laptop and desktop.
I want to make a copy of a Lightroom 3 catalog to put on my laptop so while on the move I can be geo-tagging and keywording to 8000 photographs. I don't want to drag an external drive with me. I just want to be able to work on the catalog metadata and have all the updates/changes stored there (on the laptop)(in the catalog) and then transfer the catalog back to the desktop (to the primary archive) and have all the updates/changes pushed back into the DNG's or the XMP sidecar files alongside the CR2's. These changes would be only keywording and possibly writing GPS data into them….NOT image edits (that would probally require access to the original image files)
As a test, I tried "exporting as catalog", TWO images (with the source images "unavailable"). I flash-drived the resulting catalog to my laptop. I opened the catalog in LR3 and made changes to the metadata. I tried both "saving metadata to file" and "updating DNG previews" (which would be useless anyway since I could not write data back to the missing originals) and also tried doing nothing and just closing LR, then pulling the flashdrive and plugging it into the DESKTOP.(knowing the changes are stored within the catalog itself only) I open the 2 picture catalog in LR and see the keyword updates. Hurrah!
I switch over to the master catalog. All I want to do is import the updated metadata (keywording, contrast, etc…) back into the master catalog and push the data into the original DNG or XMP. On import I select "replace: Metadata and develop settings only" (with or without "preserve old settings" checked) and click import. Voila! NOTHING HAPPENS and the updated keywords are NOT picked up.
I know that the metadata updates were carried out because they showed up when I opened it separately in LR! For some reason they don't seem to making through the import process to the master catalog…
Lightroom :: Sharing Catalog - Does Housing Catalog And Images On External Hard Drive Work
Jan 15, 2014I will be managing a small portion of a client's overall image workflow by updating their web prescence on a regular basis with new work and retagging/uploading old work. I believe this requires the catalog and the image library to be housed on an external hard drive that can travel between the two of us. We are both working on PC's with LR 5.3.
The workflow would look something like this:
Client downloads new images onto external hard drive and imports into LR "ClientCatalog" is created Flags Picks and Creates a Collection from those Picks.Hard drive is handed off to me where I open "ClientCatalog".Make suggested edits to images add detailed tags and metadata upload to various social media sites and websites return hard drive to client
Is there potential problem with this workflow? My assumption is that if everything is housed on the external hard drive then there are no worries about the catalog containing all the latest updates. Are there any "safety protocols" you would add in to this workflow (besides mirroring everythign on another hard drive)?
Lightroom :: How To Merge Catalogs By Importing A Catalog Into A Master Catalog
Dec 15, 2012I'm using Lightroom 1. I tried to merge catalogs by importing a catalog into a master catalog, but there were some problems. The one I noticed immediately was that the collections are not correct. It imported the collections, but for example one collection now has only 4 photos when the originbal had 140? How can I fix that? (Although not necessariy a problem, it seems to have the wrong number of photos imported too. It says the previous import was 3175 photos when it was more like 10,000.)

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop Elements :: Unable To Convert Most Recent Catalog On Each Drive?
Dec 8, 2013My PC has three drives
C for the programs, D for the photos and F for the backup photos
With the upgrade to Elements 12, C is nearly maxed out
Except for "C" there are multiple catalogs on each drive, C should have none
I do not see an ability to convert the most recent catalog on each drive?
When a catalog is converted - does it reside on the same drive as the catalog?
If a catalog ends up on the wrong drive, for example C - can I just move/drag it to another drive?
Your catalogs end up under something called "breeze data" and are very diffcult to find, why are they called this?
This conversion appears to have placed the converted photographs in 'C", is that possible, since they were not there at the start?
When I tried a conversion earlier this evening, it only did the most recent photographs I had accessed, how do I ensure it gets them all?
Since it did a partial conversion, will the rest of the conversion land in the same catalogue or in a completely new one?
When a file is converted, and I return to the drive, how will the icon be changed so that I know it has been converted?
For the previous elements 10, can I just drag it from Drive C to D (that way I can still use it with the pictures I have not converted), and have it still operate or must it reside in a program files folder?
As I type this I wonder if I might not be better off with just leaving the photographs as they are on 10 and starting afresh on elements 12

Oct 17, 2012I've recently gone from pc to mac. I've imported photos from pc/elements 9 to mac/LR4. I'm in the process of getting the photos organized in LR4 when I got a message that my catalog was corrupt. When trying to repair I got a message that the catalog can not be repaired. I have not backed up my catalog.
It shows that my photos are on Macintosh HD / Users / bateson / Pictures / SteveLightroom4Pictures. Is there a way to fix or redo the catalog? Or do I need to start over and rebuild a new catalog by re-importing all the files to a new catalog? It has taken me a month to import and reorganized from elements 9.
