View 2 RepliesI have been using LR5.3 since the update. For the past couple of weeks I've been having difficulty with backup. The error message is that it is failing the integrity check and won't backup. If I unchecked the integrity box, it does backup. If I check the integrity box it fails backup and say that the catalog is corrupt. When I restart LR, it does repair and I;m back where I began. This problem began cropping up a couple of weeks ago. I've reinstalled LR, I've done a full scan of my computer and still, it continues. I'm on Windows 7.

I recently upgraded my LR 4.0 to 4.1, under Win7 64-bit. In launching LR 4.1 just now, I got a dialogue box "Catalog Point Curve Check" with text "Checking Catalog Point Curves". That persisted for a minute or two, then I got a box "Point Curve Recovery Results" with text "One or more photos have recovered point curves. ..." I followed the included link to read [URL] but still don't quite understand.
In fact, there is now a collection, as the URL suggests, which has exactly two old images from 2010. Why did this point curve issue come up all of a sudden and is there an issue with these two images?
I 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…
I 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)?
I'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.)

I still have the catalog on a backup disk and have just installed and updated to LR 4.4. What is the best way to merge the V3 catalog with V4 and are there any things I should expect or look out for?

If I create a square (jpeg) that is exactly 50% black and 50% white and then distort the image using, for example 'i warp' or 'whirl & pinch', will the colour proportions of the resultant image still be exactly 50/50?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have an 8 giga LR4 catalog (about 300000 images).just installed the new LR5 and tried openning the LR4 cat in LR 5.it said it needs to upgrade, but in the middle of the prosses i had this messege: "lightroom encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog file and cannot use this catalog in this version of LR"
i saw that there is an option to export all my LR4 catalog as a new catalog and than import it into LR5.i haven't tried that yet since i'm worry that i might loose some info. will this process (of exporting and importing) keep all my LR settings? like develop user presets, keywords and collections?
I only want ONE cataglog. Today I installed and upgraded Lightroom from v. 3 to v. 4.3 which was OK.I wanted to upgrade my ONE and ONLY existing catalog keeping the same name.LR created a second catalog and added a - 2 to the name and it's a .ircat.
How can I return to having only ONE catalog and library?
My catalog 3 did not transfer to catalog 4. I tried to manually transfer files. Now I have as many as eight copies of some pictures, none of others.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've done some tests and it looks like clipping mask and pathfinder>crop (CS5) do pretty much the same thing. I realize that clipping mask leaves the paths of the original objects for possible release while crop is creating a new path.
When would you choose to use one vs. the other? The only thing I can think of is when you want to end up with a new object use crop but if you want to maintain the integrity of the original objects use clipping mask.
Is it a toss up?
Why can't I check out and down load LR5? Are the servers overwhelmed?!

I opened Lightroom 3 and clicked "Help", the clicked "check for updates" and it said there are no updates available for this software! Which is not true. Why do I have to manually go to Lightroom on-line to check for updates? Why doesn't checking for updates from inside Lightroom 3 work?

2. I have Canon raw files and tiffs and want to upload to 500PX and other web site galleries in one action. Is it possible? How do you set up an action to convert an image, say a tiff, to a certain size and then save as a jpeg and upload to 500pX using the plugin all in one action? At the moment I am saving the tiff as a jpeg to a correct size using a pre set, but then exporting to another folder ready to either manually upload or re-import to Lightroom as a jpeg then upload.
When I am capturing images in LR4 from a CF card or camera I want to enlarge individual photos in loupe view to check for focus, etc. I am talking about the time PRIOR TO IMPORT. Some of my images will enlarge with no problem but some images become completel pixilated when I try to Zoom in. This does not happen when I try to import from the hard drive. Is this normal. My render preview is set to Standard.

How do I delete the catalog now so I can re-import them the right way.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Yesterday Bridge would not let me move files without shutting the program down after it moved the file. Today, I cannot find my catalog in LR4.2, nor can I find the backup, even though it has backed up every day.
