Lightroom :: How To Merge Catalogs By Importing A Catalog Into A Master Catalog
Dec 15, 2012I'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.)

Jun 14, 2013Sometimes I assign keywords for DNG files in Adobe Bridge CS5. Then I import into LR to do some color correction. Then I would export as JPG for the client. In LR2, the keywords would show up fine. For example, if I used "Caucasian" it would just show up in LR2 as "Caucasian". Now, in LR4, when I import (and export), I get Caucasian > Ethnic. The exported JPG would have "Caucasian" and "ethnic". I only want "Caucasian." Not "Ethnic." Is there a way to cut off the "parent" KW in LR4 like was done in LR2?"

Importing keyword hierarchy from notepad txt document not working as in Lightroom 3...
In Lightroom 3 when write hierarchy in notepad everything in {...} does not display in Lightroom Keyword list but is automatically exported as keyword tag. This is not the case in Lightroom 4.
On below test hierarchy which i have included as a screen cut
When you tick on Giant Golden Mole in Lightroom 3 for instance, the latin name (Chrysospalax trevelyani) as well as the order (Afrosoricida) and family (Chrysochloridae) is automatically tagged. Only the latin name appears though in Lightroom 4 !!

Mar 2, 2013I want to import a plug-in list of Keywords into Ligtroom 4. However - as described in Lightroom support - in Library under Metadata, I do not see the option for "Importing Keywords."

View 3 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Importing From External HD - Will Keywords And Captions Show Up?
Jan 24, 2013Having a D100 camera and keywords filled out in Nikon View IPTC... would importing into Lightroom show up my keywords and captions? I neglected to add that I would not be importing them from my computer HD, but from a external HD. All my past work was done on a Gateway PC. Lightroom will probably be put on a new Mac. I also have all these photos archived on CDs. Will this change things? Will my keywords and captions still show up upon import? If importing from an external HD blocks this, what can I do, what program can I add that will get my metadata across?

Nov 1, 2013Is it possibile to import a collection from a catalog to another ? My main catalog is at home with all the pictures stored on NAS; when I'm abroad often I start to organize the travel pictures in a "temp/local" catalog on notebook. The Import Photos from catalog is fine to import the pictures with their develop setting, but I would like also to import the collection, expecially the custom user sort order I did in the collection (so I think the Export collection as Catalog is not useful).

May 6, 2012I merged two catalogs in Lightroom 3.6 by using File -> Import from catalog....
Both catalogs had flickr photosets, and I wanted all the photosets to show up in the main catalog into which the other catalog was imported. However, the flickr photosets apparently were not imported.
Is there any way to import these, or are the links between my photos and their status as being published to flickr permanently lost for the photos which were imported?
Lightroom :: Importing Parent And Subfolders Into New Catalog?
Feb 4, 2014I accidentally deleted my LR4 catalog, which I cannot recover. I have been unable to import folders from the source without all the files appearing as a single batch, i.e: no sub-folders in the import window. Must I import the content of each sub-folder into the corresponding destination folders separately: must I uninstall LR4 and reinstall it so that it can create a new default catalog? What is the process I need to follow in order to import the sub-folders?
View 2 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Photos Missing Or Offline - After Importing New Catalog
Dec 27, 2011So I was just importing all my xmas shots yesterday, and I kinda did it wrong in lightroom...as a result, the folder I created is now the "main folder" i.e the one that has all my photos under it, as subfolders and as a result, ALL my photos has now gone offline or missing.
The new folder I created sits on top of the hieracy, and I dont want that of course, I want it under my "2011" folder, which was the main... I cant move the new folder called "xmas 2011" and If i try to delete it, it says do you want to delete 2200 pictures, which is everything I have under the original "2011" folder...
Im pretty new to lightroom, and the file handling and renaming of libery's seems very confusing, but this is really bad and its ALL my pictures being listed as missing of offline
I tried to open via backup, but the lastest backup I can find is from Aug 2011, which I know isnt true, as I back up everytime I have used lightroom, but I cant find any other back ups !!

View 1 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Importing Old Catalog Triggers (unknown Error)
Apr 5, 2014Trying to troubleshoot a weird issue w/ Lightroom 5.3 on a PC. Updated my current catalog and wanted to import a couple of old catalogs to consolidate images. The first two of the old catalogs updated and imported just fine, previews were merged, data seamlessly integrated -- all good. But the third catalog is giving me no end of grief. It goes through the update process to be LR5 compatible, but when I say "import everything" on the list of found images/folders, it tries for a bit, then fails out with "unknown error". This happens regardless of what I pick from that catalog -- even a single folder. It also happens if I export a sub-catalog from the old catalog and try to import that. But the updated catalog runs just fine on its own.
I've tried optimizing the offending catalog and checked for any possible issues with folder names, missing images, incompatible formats etc. etc.
I'm reluctant to try the "reverse" operation and import my main catalog back into the old, "challenged" catalog for fear of future corruption.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Can Update Catalog On Laptop And Then Transfer Updates To Master Catalog On Desktop
Jan 13, 2011I 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…

View 1 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Sharing Catalog - Does Housing Catalog And Images On External Hard Drive Work
Jan 15, 2014I 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)?
