I mistakenly chose Add to import some photos when I should have used Copy. Now if I try to re-import the photos Lightroom thinks they're already exist and won't recognise them as new photos. How do I get round this?
till LR 4.1 it was easy to add photos to an existing collection. I just selected photos and dragged+dropped them on the name of the collection. Job done. This seems not to work in LR 4.2 any longer. I can only add photos to a collection by using the context menu of the collection ("Add marked photos to this collection" [most probably the correct English term is different as I work with the German edition of LR 4.2]). Is this supposed to be a feature - or just a bug?
Additionally I can't put photos in an individual order any more. Sorting them by date, name etc - easy! But rearranging the manually doesn't work any longer with my version. Again: feature or bug?
I'm having such a hard time adding several photos at once to an existing collection. Not sure what I'm doing wrong as I am following the instructions. First I select all the photos by clicking shift and the 1st photo, then I select the last photo. All photos I want to add are highlighted. But I can't drag all the photos at once. When I try to drag, the 1st photo is only selected. What is are the correct click, drag and drop key strokes to get it right? Dragging and dropping one photo at the time is just not feasible.
I printed a few photos with the print function in lightroom 3 (print button). A few hours later, i reopened LR to print some more photos, and now the print button has been replaced with print to file. Print one button is all greyed out aswell.
Also, LR is adding unwanted margins to all photos in the print module, and when i try to 0 out the margin, LR tells me it needs a minimum margin...
All printer settings is as it was before.
What has happened?
I have been around all preferences and so on, but nothing changes.
How do I stop LR5 from adding a dated sub folder every time I import photos. This just started and I can't find a way to turn this off. What ever date photo were taken LR makes a folder with that date when importing.
I developed problems importing images onto LR - everything was working just fine then.Get a message:"Some operations were not performed.Could not copy a file to requested location"
It itemised every image I am trying to import..I thought I would upgrade to LR 4 and the problem would go away - it didn't!!
When I import pictures from my SD Card I usually leave copies on the card for a while so I have them as backup, and to also be able to see recent pics on my camera. However each time I go to import pictures from that card within LR, it defaults to selecting all pics on my SD card even though I have the "New Photos" filter selected at the top of the import box. It always puts all my photos in the "New Photos" section, so I have to deselect all the photos that I have already imported into my catalogue so I don't get duplicates. How do I get LR to only import pics that haven't been imported bfore?
I am aware of the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" option, but that is not the samea as what I am looking for. It only deselects photos that still exist in my catalogue. Any photos that I have deleted from my catalogue remain selected in the import box as it doesn't see any duplicates.
what I'm missing to have LR only select photos that haven't been previously imported from that card?
I need to copy my edited photos to a flash drive to play on our photo frame. I don't want to move them, just copy them and they need to be JPGs for the frame. I would prefer to keep the files full size rather than dumb them down for e-mail. What are my options? I have thousands of photos in LR and now I'm concerned that LR won't do the job for me.
First off, I don't mind the save as a copy feature. If I have a psd file with layers and smart objects and such, and I Save As > JPG, I don't want the jpg open, I want the psd open. I like how PS does that behavior, but I don't like how that jpg gets " copy" added to it's file name. Yes it's easy to remove, but I'm using a batch action on over 300 pictures, I don't feel like renaming 300 jpg's. Yes it's supposed to be a safety net, but I basically never work from jpg's as original's, and if for some reason I do, I set them as read only and copy the files off to a safe location, so I don't need it.
I know it's possible because my old school's computers with Photoshop CS5 never saved jpg's with copy in the file name. So, how do I stop PS CS5 from adding copy to my file names? Because I need Photoshop to not add copy to my file names on my work computer.
what is the easiest way to add signature to a lot of photos? i am using photoshop 7.0. i am a novice with photoshop and i will be showing my wife, a beginer, how to this. i know i should creat an action then batch. but i have never done these.
I have VSX4 and I often edit videos using gifs, however they no longer animate when I add them to the library and timeline. It's been a while since I last used it but I can't figure out why my VS is now showing them only as photos of the first frame in the gif. Gifs used to work fine by simply dragging them in.
I'm not very technical so I'm hoping there is a simple solution which has evaded my attention.
I recently did a concert and I would like to know how to add my watermark to several photos at once rather that creating the watermark for every sigle photo every time.
how to add a transaprent overlay logo to the main photo.
What I want to do is take one of my photos of my pet parrot and turn it into a sort of tranparent overlay and copy / paste it quickly and easilly onto all my other photos..........sort of like a "this is my calling card" to stop other people pinching my photos (not that they are that good though).
I've seen on the net how to use the text copyright logo tool on CS2, but can't find anything anywhere about how to use one of your own photos..........
I got the cropped foto and the background in two diferent fotos. When I open them in photoshop CS they appear in diferent "screen or frame" and can't put them together in the same layer.
I'd like to copy and paste text created in MS Word onto photographs. I'd like to create a poster with an inspirational message super-imposed upon the picture itself.

I was adding photos from a friend's file to my Adobe Photoshop album and somehow corrupted my existing photo files. I am unable to restore my original files.
How can you copy photos from the Organizer to a DVD in PS10 without creating an album? In PS8 it was easy and a menu pick under sharing but this does not appear to me the case in PS10. So I end up making an album to burn the DVD and them deleting the albut which seems stupid. It looks like Adobe went backwards.
I am trying to make a logo size of 1500 bye 400 when i go to colour it all in black its ok but when i add text its fine then when i go to add photos to it.keeps going on to double size page
I like to have more than 2 photos in the logo
Do I need to change settings as it was working fine for me before as am trying to make logos for my envision free board.
I take an image and change the brightness, color balance and then i resize it, etc..etc..
I now want to do the same actions on multiple photos. Is there a way to do that? Is that the history brush?
Also if there is a way, then can the same be done using batch processing? (as in , i need not open each file manually/ select multiple files to execute the common action on)
