I got off to a bad start setting up my library. I have too many catalogs, numerous redundancies from misimportations, and am beginning to have difficulty finding files when I need them. What is the best way to reorganize my library without making matters worse? Also is there a best practice for keeping it simple, transparent, and cohesive? I wish I could start over again, but I already have 4-5 thousand images (though some are clearly duplicates).
A client of mine is unable to read correctly the pdf that I send him. The issue is this: I generate my pdf with the DWG to PDF.pc3 in my ACAD 2012 (64bits).
Within our office, the pdf looks correct, but when our client opens it, the mtext notes appear disorganized.
I am attaching two screenshots: text1 is how our pdf looks, text2 is how it looks when our client opens it.

The difference in image quality is because I receive a scan of what he prints.
As written above, with the SF-MODE "Mode" "RUN-INTERACTIVE" SF-STRING "Main image file" "" arguments commented out, this script works in interactive mode,operating on the active drawable in the active image;the first two arguments to the function (orgImg and drw) are filled in automagically by the gimp when the script is activated.
The only way I have figured out how to use this from batch mode is toadd another script which contains the name of the base file to process:
This works, but neither procedure is making any use of what should be the first argument (missing from add-watermark above but present in batch-add-watermark) which is the mode.
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?
I am using the library filter in Lightroom 5. I have flagged some photos and want to use the filter to find these photos.The filter is including both the flags and the star rating. I only want to search the flags and don't know how to stop the filter from using the star rating at the same time.
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 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.
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 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 ?
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.
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?
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.
I 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.
I 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?
Is it possible to import BR photo library into Lightroom 4? ( PS Version 5)? If not what is the best solution to organize or combine current folders with LR?
I got a new desktop and need to transfer everything to it.My ? is how do I get Lr properly transferred i.e. point to the old lrcat file? so that all my edit info will be there?
I am using LR 5.3 and in Library Module, below Metadata is a field for Comments. However, in that field, it says "Selected service does not support comments".
I can find no information on how to use this or how to 'legitimately' add comments to a photo. I have seen where people suggest adding comments into unused Metadata fields but that seems like a crude work around. What is the purpose of the "Comments" section in the Library Module?
I wanted to create a new calander for 2014, so I created a new catalog and started to import 25 images which were in my library in various folders. once I was done with the selections I could see that there are several catalogs set up from each folder of origin. if I click on library to get out of the "catalog" mode nothing happens. I can no longer see any of my library folders on the left panel, unless I try to import more images.
How do I delete or cancel this request to add a catalog and get back to my original library? also, in hind sight, I believe I wanted to add a "collection". please confirm the difference between a collection, smart collection and a catalog.
Lightroom does not appear to recognize my pics in the Mac iphoto library. I can import from other folders/files but not directory from iphoto. Likewise I can't export a photo back into iphoto once it has been "developed" in Lightroom.
Do I have to change some preferences or something?
