Lightroom :: Library Management After Accidental HD Reformat?
Apr 7, 2014
Ok, so somehow I really screwed the pooch and reformatted the HD with all my 2012 and 2013 lightroom photos.I still have my main library file and 2014 photos as they are on a different drive.
Now, I think I can go back and recover all the images which is great. But they will not have their original names or folder structure.So I'm not sure how to handle this situation with my library. I don't mind if I lose all my edits on those photos, but I want to have a clean library and nothing unlinked.
Whats the best way to get my libarary back into good shape after I have my recovered files?

read that color management pdf by gennady petrov and tried a few things he wrote. I turned off color management in the printer driver, chose corel to manage color, and the image default profile sRGBxxxxx. picture was way dark and ugly. tried several other profiles and same dark picture. hmm that did not work so well.
went back to the printer driver and disabled no color management, and chose the profile Adobe RGB. still kept corel as manager and chose A RGB as the profile and the print looked spot on. Have not had problems printing from corel because I have come up with my own system, but was quite surprised at the result from turning off color management in the printer driver.

I downloaded and installed the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 extended to test the correctness of photographs blurred by accidental movements, but can not find the tool or not his name. In Internet video appears in the Filter menu but all I get is my Digimarc.

A DPX sequence I'm importing is coming in with 24P timecode but should be at 23.976. Once imported, I tried changing the timecode track via Tools > Reformat and selecting "23.976" and "Affect Record Timecode" - but am then prompted to process a timewarp over the clip. That doesn't seem right to me since I'm just trying to change the TC and playback rate of the clip without actually affecting picture.

I've a question regarding a conform workflow in Smoke/Flame. Is there a way to reformat your timeline to HD, but with keeping the handles and cuts?
For example if I do a conform with 4K red files in a HD timeline, after the conform. I would like to commit everything to HD, but with handles. This is because I don't need the smoke to cache the large 4K source media files.
I tried using the reformat option, but this gives me only 1 long clip. without cuts and handles
I also tried selecting the timeline, and choosing commit timelineFX. This will commit every clip and keeps the edit points, but…..removes the handles.
In the old Smoke, before 2012, there was one way. Namely to use the reformat tool in the library. But now it's gone.

mtext notes in my drawings occasionally reformat when I reopen a file. The notes become a column of single words. I have to go to each note and stretch the box. Doesn't always happen, but when it does every mtext box becomes a column. I'm using LT 2012.

I think I have finally figured out how to sync all my color management settings with CS2, Lightroom, my Nikon300, and my jpg viewing software. All are set to color profile sRGB and a picture looks almost exactly the same in every program.
My main use with these programs and the desire for good color is shooting a ton of basketball game pictures and color correcting and painting them in Photoshop.
My question: Is sRGB the best choice color profile, or does anyone have an opinion on an alternative profile.

I am trying to find an efficient method for converting PNGs to TIFFs for management in LR 4.4. I have tried using Automator for Mac for this purpose. However, the converted TIFF files appear corrupt when imported into LR, although they still work when imported to Photoshop.
Any reason why Automator's conversion would not be acceptable?
Similarly, I tried using GraphicConverter 8 and had the same results.

I am a Pro Photographer, and have been printing via Photoshop for years, and am trying to print to my Epson 9900 through LR3.
Workflow is simple, Nikon .nef (Raw) files are imported into LR3 - all monitors are calibrated w/ pro-grade color management colorimeters/software ....
Everything looks great on screen, and the TIF files exported and picked up in Photoshop and then printed, look great.
However, my files printed directly from LR look horrible - as if color profiles are being applied twice somewhere, but I can't figure out where.
Images are shot in AdobeRGB color space.
Color management in the Epson 9900 print driver is turned OFF. (same as every other program I print from)
My LR3 screen for printing looks like this:

I Use Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2
Lightoom 4
Canon Pixma MG 8250
Profile MG series 8200 GL3/SG3 for Glossy paper.
It is stated that "remember to turn off color management in the print dialog" when using custom profile (I assume the Profile MG...) is regarded as a custom profile...
I have been lookoing in the print dialogue and I can not find any way to turn off colour management... Is this only valid for Microsoft Windows of Is there something I do not understand ?

I 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?

Using 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.

I 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?

I 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 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.

Master photo library resides on a RAID6 & a drive failed, so I copied entire library to desktop so that I could continue working while RAID was repaired. LR4 won't recognize this library & wants to IMPORT/ADD all photos again. I just need LR4 to access the library I already have.

I'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?
