If I use backup/restore i would need a copy of my pictures on each computer I use and that is not what i want. What i want is to use the same catalog and pictures when i move form one PC to another.
Photoshop Elements 6 (20070910.r.377499)
I do not know why the catalog has changed the file location of "ALL" pictures to the location on my backup drive.
Example: K:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG
The actual location of the original photo is: D:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG
The location of "My Pictures" is on my primary Hard Drive D:My DocumentsMy Pictures
Why is Photoshop changing all of my 37,000+ photo thumbnails to point to my Backup Drive K:?
I need to correct the catalog file. How do I make the correction and stop it from happening in the future?

I use an iMac, Lion OS and Lightroom3. I store all my photo files (approx. 50,000) on a Drobo RAID system. Apple replaced my iMac HD. I connected an external 750GB G-Drive for Time Machine back-up. Since there was not sufficient memory on the G-Drive, I set the Time Maching to ignore my Picures. After moving the pictures over to the Drobo and deleting the Pictures on the iMac HD, my Lightroom files went missing. I used the Locate File option to find one of the missing files. Before I initiated this, the folder in the library showed 640 files. After locating the missing file, the folder shows 0 files. The missing file is now showing and available.

I have the computer running again now but I dont have any of my Loghtroom edits. I was advised to get a .lrc (or something) file but that only had a copy of the very first backup that I did. I didn't backup using the Lightroom backup that pops up when closing te program. How can I retrieve all my edits, it amounts to many, many hundreds of hours work?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI uninstalled Lightroom, because it was too slow on my computer. It put a lot of library files and directories in My pictures folder.
When I use a backup program (SyncbackSE) to backup my pictures, it starts to scan all the Lightroom library files and it takes forever (hours and counting). Even though Windows cannot find the directories (with hidden and system files shown). I want to completely delete the Lightroom directories, because now I can't backup my images anymore. It is a pain in the dark places.
How to try to retrieve a corrupt lrcat file. My lrcat file AND its backup are BOTH corrupt, and will not open. They are visible. I have an iMac, OS 10.6, LR 3.3, just upgraded to 3.5 today when I started having trouble accessing LR. I've been away for 6 weeks, but the rest of the computer works fine. There have been almost no changes/writes done to the HD since my last LR backup (and idiotic deletion of additional b.u. catalogs that were only a couple of months old. A trial version of Data Rescue II found erased files on my HD from years ago but it does not find those older LR b.u. erased files.)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI do not want to re-develop 1000+ photos in lightroom.
Cleaning up my photo directory, i started consolidating and moving folders around in my HDD. However in doing so, I also accidently removed one of the 'catalog folder' in my Lightroom (so the original photos are still there in the physical folder, but i can't see it anymore in Lightroom). Now if I try to import the folder back into Lightroom, all my developed settings are lost (i.e. everything reverts back to the original settings).
I tried using the Find Missing Photos function and the Sychronize Folder function, both does not work with my problem. Unfortunately, my catalog backup is also a week old, so that wouldn't have my recently developed settings?
Any way to retrieve the removed catalog folder with all the previously developed settings?
If LR4 backup does not backup the actual photos,and the work done in LR4, how do you back up the photos? Is online backup of the PC the only way? I do a backup each time I exit LR but if the adjustments are not backed up that is not good.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy LR4 backups took forever (130,000+ images) on a 3-year old iMac (2.93 Gig i7 Intel w/ 8 Gig RAM and OS 10.8.4), but it DID complete the backup procedure. Unchecking Optimization and Integrity Check sped up the backups considerably. Upgraded to LR5 and not backups WILL NOT COMPLETE, regardless of what is checked off or not. Longest time I've waited so far is 30 hours.
Backups have been tried to internal Mac HD, an external 2 Gig, an external 1 Gig, and a 10 Gig Drobo array. ALL fail to complete.
I have not been able to restore my catalog(s) using the Backups. My computer crashed and will not start up. So I am thinking, whew – good thing my original image files and backups are stored on a separate (and unaffected) hard drive (plus 2 additional backups of all of this). Until I tried to restore my catalog from the backups.
I am contemplating what to do with the crashed computer, I decide to check the Lightroom backups just to ensure that work fine.
.If I try to open the backup catalogs on my laptop (a separate computer from the one that crashed) without moving them from their current location/ folders (in backup folders on the hard drives) I get an error message that says the catalog file is not writable (due to incorrect permissions or because another Lightroom application is using the catalog).
If I move the catalog backup to the laptop (to a folder location that has unrelated functioning catalogs), I get a message that says the folder cannot be found. I have tried to restore 3 separate LR3 catalogs. I have not attempted to restore the LR4 catalogs yet.
Upon exiting (shutting down) Lightroom 5, we're given a choice to backup the catalog. Is there a way to manually backup it up (without exiting Lightroom 5?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs my image backup plan fundamentally flawed? My lightroom catalogue refers almost exclusively to RAW files, but for each file, once I've done the required edits, I "export as DNG" to make a backup which has the edits embeded in. I prefer to use RAW files as the main file but I save the backup as DNG just to save a bit of space)
However, if I replace a folder of RAW files myphoto1.CR2, myphoto2.CR2 with a folder of DNG the equivalents myphoto1.dng, myphoto2.dng then not surprisingly Lightroom shows the files are missing. (At this point all I'm doing is simulating a backup recovery). I can "find missing folder" easily enough and the ? disappears from the folder list, but the individual images in the library are still missing. Again this is not really surprising because although the file names are the same as those referenced in the library the extension is DNG rather than RAW.
Now the surprising part (for me anyway).....I can "find missing file" by pointing to the replacement DNG and it warns me that the file name is not the same (because the extension is different) and asks if I want to link them anyway. I say yes and once again the image file is linked to the image reference in the library. So far so good, BUT, despite ticking the box which is meant to link neighbouring files, only the one image is linked.
Clearly if I do face disaster and need to use my backup DNGs then I can't go individually linking each and every image. Is there a quicker way, or is my backup plan fundamentally flawed?
I am very new to Lightroom I am wondering how I would go about backing up my library when I used Apple Aperture It would have a file called " Aperture Library " and I would just copy that over to my external hard drive every month. How would I do this in Lightroom ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe LR 4.4 catalog backup fails when exiting the application. I have set my catalog backup location on a NAS hard-drive (connected via Gigabit ethernet), which has sufficient empty space and correct network permissions. An empty backup folder is created, however no catalog file is copied into it. After the backup starts and checks integrity and starts the backup, a second dialog box pops up that says do you want to back up. The first dialog box is open with the progress bar about halfway complete, but can't be made active. If I start another backup, it runs part way and says can't complete as the same as the others report.
This is strange, since in earlier versions of LR 4 (and even in LR3) I had none of these problems.
I am running Mac OSX 10.8.4 with 2GB of RAM.
What viewing and/or editing capability will exist if the Lightroom catalog (not the full image files but only the previews) are exported and installed on a laptop? I would like to vuew the images while traveling and do minor editing but the complete image files are too extensive to transfer to the laptop. The comntempated procedure is to export as a catalog with neagtive files unchecked but available previews checked.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI merged two databases and renamed the merged database. I renamed both the Ircat file and the Previews file. The database opens and displays correctly with my history displayed in the Develop module. However when I close Lightroom with the Backup option, the backup directory is not created.I have Lightroom 5 installed on a Windows 7 desktop computer.
