How can I import JPEG files with dashes in the file names into the library? In batch from a folder?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a folder containing all my photos (15000 photos: 70% JPG, 30% NEF) in a sorted folder-structure.
I am trying to import that filestructure to Lightroom, but after some thousand fotos the import-process just stops. Lightroom is still usable, the "import-progress-bar" shows the correct value (something below 50%) but import action is frozen.
I can shutdown the program and them try to restart them import, but it does not work.
When I then try to import the fotos "year by year" then it also has the same behaviour after some time...
Seems to me quite a bug for the sake of a photo-management-tool?
When I open The Lightroom, I do see the Tabs such as: Library Develop and other Tabs on the Top of page.
When I click on Import and I choose a folder I do see all the pictures of that folder in the middle of the page,,But The Tabs such as Library ,Develop, and other Tabs disappear. I am watching a Video Tutorial and I think I am doing some thing wrong.
I'm having trouble importing materials into the library. Where in the world is the import button for materials?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to import a clip that runs 2:25 into the library of Video Studio 12 and, although it runs full length when viewed outside of the program, it is limited to 1:11 once I import it into the clip library. It cuts off the second half of the video. The file is a .3gpp from a mobile device and plays fine in Video Studio, it just won't load the full video for some reason.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI use a QNAP Network Attached Storage as the home for LR library so that a number of computers in the house can access the same files and various other DLNA clients can do slideshows on partcular directories if we want.
This is great when we are on our home network, but if I want to work on an image in LR while I am away from home I have to remember to make local copies (to my laptop HD) in advance.
I have a static IP and can access the required directories and files through a browser or VPN when I'm away from home. I was wondering if it's possible to give LR the web address of the directory I want to use as my library so that my photos are available to me anywhere so long as I have a web connection?
Delete library. How ? Want to start completely anew.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing LR5 and for some reason, the library module just won't open (image goes gray then error message "an error occured when attempting to chage modules") . Had been on beta with no issues and used the upgraded version for the past few days. Rebooted system (iMac 10.8.4) with no success.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am considering moving to Adobe lightroom. Currently we have all our photos in iPhoto.My wife prefers to use Windows, but I like Mac. I have setup my iMac as dual boot and I will by an external SSD HD to hold all our photos and can be accessed by both mac and windows. Is it possible to be able to use Windows to work in Lightroom, and the next day boot into Mac and see the same library? And when I make changes, add photos etc in Lightroom, they are visable in Windows?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have LR5 on my PC, with my 400GB NIKON RAW images on an external USB disk (NTFS). Library is on the PC. I shall now move the RAW images, with the edits, to my LR5 installation on a MAC Book Pro, with the images storred on an external thunderbolt MAC formatted disk.
I wonder what is the procedure for doing this, so i get the edits i have done, moved also to the MAC?
I guess i can export the library to the PC external disk, and then connect both the PC USB and the MAC thunderbolt disk to the MAC, and then just do a copy of the images. But how is the library going to get the knowledge of the images now storred on the MAC disk?
I have moved some files around using Windows Explorer to split up some large file directories. LR3 sytill thinks the library is as it was bvefore the move and I cant seem to stop it.
How do I tell LR3 that the files have moved and rebuild the library?
I was in the middle of editing when Lr3 froze up, I tried to restart, it prompted me to force quit Lr3 which I have done in the past. When I reloaded Lr3, my entire library was gone. 0 files.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to the photography world and having a bit of trouble when using Lightroom.I have a new Olympus PEN EPL-5 and Lightroom 4.3 running on Windows7.
When I import RAW (.ORF) files they are dark in general, but when export them as JPG they are brighter, similar to what native JPG from the camera looks like. Then if I "correct" the ORF file in Quick Develop or Develop it becomes too light/bright/over-exposed.
Here on the left is the RAW file import with Develop Settings = "none" and to the right is an export to JPG color space "sRGB".Now if I adjust the RAW (.ORF) file in LR I can get it close to the JPG on the right above, but then when I export it, it becomes way too bright
why the RAW Library image is so far off from the exported JPG image?Obviously this "issue" makes using Lightroom very difficult as I can't tell how changes in LR will really turn out once exported.
Have 100K photos in about 800stacks.
Want to change the UI presentation of the stacks . Can stacks br ordered items like file name, attribute, etc. Looked at the LR3 PDF and it appears mute on the subject of stacking presentation order. Is this possible in LR3? Is it something new in LR4?
I am using Lightroom 5.2 and only gray squares appear in the Library mode. How can I get my images to appear ? A couple of additional details are:
I have my images stored on external portable HD drives.
I have been successful using this set-up on a previous installlation of Lightroom 5.0.
For some inexplicable reason, on my LR 4, the word Library is not listed at the top of the home page where the other 6 module names are...Devleop, Map, etc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know what I clicked, but all of a sudden above the import column in library, where it usually says"source", there is nothing. I clicked on something (arrows?) and am able to get it to give me a limited choice to choose from, but this is not good. when I have my ext HD attached and want to choose from one of the folders, I have to select one folder at a time, wait for pics to appear, then go back and start over if it isn't the one I want. Be4, all the folders showed up in the column (as well as other sources for pics), and all I had to do was click on one, e.g., COLORSPACE 1, COLORSPACE 15, etc, and pics showed up and I could choose.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently created a new catalog and imported all of my files into Lightroom. All my files seemed to come over, including the .jpg files. I then opened a cr2 file in LR and took it to Photoshop for editing. I saved the psd file and it appeared in my library as I expected. I then did a save as to create 3 different jpg files: filename 4x6.jpg, filename 3x5.jpg and filename 5x7.jpg.
None of these three jpgs came back to LR. So I tried to import them. When I click on the "new" option to import only the new files, these three jpgs do not even show up.
One final note, the box for "treat jpg files next to raw files as seperate files" is checked.how I can get LR to include my jpgs in my library?
