I am not sure how, but I ended up with duplicates in my library - probably a couple of hundred. I know there is a checkbox for not importing duplicates. Why is there not a duplicate finder for those already in the library? Or is there? Lightroom 4

View 2 Replies View RelatedI open the software, optimize the database, hit the triangle button and click "find duplicates." This freezes the software each and every time.
Virus caused me to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the software. The problem is the software has about 2 or 3 times the pictures it should it shows previous edits and two pictures and on top of that edited the pictures as it imported them so some pictures appear 3 times. I really need to get this taken care of. Using 64 bit Windows 7.
I exported LR3 edited files as web files with a watermark on them. However, I can't seem to find the edited un-watermarked images in the Library, ony the original unedited RAW files and the watermarked web files. I need the edited files prior to my exporting them as watermarked web files.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhy can’t I find the color profile info in the library ? It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…). I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)? Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to LR 4.0 and the identify duplicate function does not appear to be identifing duplicates.
I was cleaning off cards and wanted to make sure all the photos had been added to the catalog when I realized that photos which have been imported, will reimport.
The "don't import suspected duplicates" box is checked. I verified one photo, _img_2597.cr2 , was both on the card and in the catalog. LR4 re-imported it - putting a duplicate in the catalog.
I then added some new photos to the catalog and then tried to re-load them: the detection of duplicates worked. It apears that photos from the 3.6 catalog are the issue.
I have:
rebooted the system
opened up a backup catalog
synchronize folders
All to no avail.
I am using VS 12 and when I was deleting old thumbprints from the library so I can load a new project. about 10 blank thumbprints appear and when I try to delete them a message says `load from stream error` and whatever I do I cannot get rid of it. I can`t even sort out the thumbprints in order of date without the messages appearing. I have to close the programme down through the task manager. Is there some way of getting rid of this the blank thumbprints?

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy workflow is to copy all photos from my camera to a folder that is configured for auto import.Lightroom takes these pics and import them to the library.But it does not exclude duplicate photos. If I copy the same photos to the auto import folder again, LR imports all photos again.
Why can't I configure to exclude duplicates as it works with the manual import function?

I'm using Lightroom 5.3. I'm importing images to my catalog from one external drive to another using the "copy" function. I have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, but Lightroom does not identify duplicate jpg images as such and lists them as new files to import. If I import these images they show up in my database/catalog with the -2 designation. The images are identical in filename, capture time, size and EXIF info. I have tried removing my preferences file and starting another but that doesn't change the behavior. I have seen other posts with similar issues but cannot find a solution that works for me. I don't see this listed as a bug either.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I migrated from iPhoto to LightRoom I wound up with many hundreds, if not thousands of duplicte images.
I purchased the "Duplicate Finder" plug-in, which indeed finds the duplicates, but ther eis no way to simply delete them. I would imagine many users have been through this at some point and hope there is a relatively simple way to get my catalog under control.
I've made a custom brush library and want to delete some of the brushes but there is no little garbage can icon in the lower right hand corner of the brushes pallete. How do I delete the unwanted brushes from the cusotm library? The little garbage can IS on the regular brushes pallette.

Its very common to try many images in this sort of composition and the auto renamimg protocol makes it virtually impossible to weed out unused images at publish time.

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy workflow is as follows:
1. Shoot.
2. Clean the junk pictures off the card with Nikon ViewNX, I keep MAYBE 1 in 50 shots.
3. Import to LR 3.4.1
4. Repeat.
On the second import, the pictures from the first import are normally flagged as suspected duplicates. Occasionally, one will not be flagged as a suspected dupe. I suspect that this is because on a subsequent ViewNX pass I accidently changed the number of stars or some such on that image. Is there some way to reinstate "suspected duplicate" status? Or to put it another way, what determines suspected duplicate status?
I leave the good pictures on the card as a back up (I do have other backups -- the laptop backs up daily to the NAS when I'm home, and I have LR make a copy to another CF card on import. But you can't have enough backups.
After import from CF card, then next import with "don't import suspected duplicates'' checked, failed many times. You must close and reopen the import window, repeating the operation (one or two times) to make it work properly.

I can import a card, eject the card, plug the card back in and Lightroom STILL wants to import the photos it just imported. Of course the checkbox for "Don't import suspected duplicates" is ticked.
Yesterday I did a tethered portrait shoot into LR and at one point LR failed to capture some images. Therefore, after the shoot, I imported the CF-card using my card reader and ticked the "don't import suspected duplicates". Still LR imported all images and whenever it found a duplicate, instead of ignoring it, LR just renamed the file with "-2" at the end of the file name. This doesn't look right to me.
Is this a bug, should LR function like this or is there something that I've missed? Shouldn't LR at least ask me if I want to rename, overwrite or ignore?What can I do to avoid this issue in the future?

I have a catalog and images on my laptop. I have created another catalog that I want to merge with this one. It includes some duplicate images and thats fine. I want the images, keywords and folder structure from the new catalog to merge with the existing one for teaching purposes.
Lightroom wont let me Merge and include the duplicates.
