Lightroom :: Sort Images In A Collection Set

Nov 5, 2011

I'm using nested Collection Sets and Collections in LR 3.4 to manage image selections for a large book project. I'd like to create web galleries from groups of images (a Collection Set) to share with others working on the project.
 
Is there a way to have LR sort the images in a Collection Set (all lower level sets and collections) by the collection and/or set name? When I display the top level Collection Set all the images show up sorted by file name. I can change that to any of the sort options under View | Sort but none of those are at all useful.
 
Here's the tree structure of part of the Collection Set (these are all Latin plant names):
 
Rosaceae                          [collection set]
   |
   --- Rubus                      [collection set]
   |     |
   |     --- Rubus arcticus       [collection]
   |     --- Rubus armeniacus     [collection]
   |     --- Rubus chamaemorus    [collection]
   |     --- Rubus idaeus         [collection]
   |     ---     etc.
   --- Sorbus                     [collection set]
         |
         --- Sorbus acuparia      [colleciton]
         --- Sorbus scopulina     [collection]
         --- Sorbus sitchensis    [collection]
 
I'd like to sort all the Rubus images together, in named sequence by Collection, and then within each Collection sorted by file name. Then all the Sorbus, etc.
 
Am I missing something in how Collections work? Is there a way to sort within a Collection Set as I need to?

Lightroom :: Using (P Or X) To Sort Images In Version 5

Jun 23, 2013

I have just downloaded a batch of images into LRM 5 - with earlier versions in  'Library' I have been able to go quickly through all the images using P or X. 

I have just found that in 5 when P or X are used, the image either shoots to the start or the end of the group.  So to move on to the next image you have to sort back to where you were previously - this is a real PAIN and makes a mockery of Quick Sorting'
 
i am using  a PC with Windows 7 - upgraded from LRM 4 - at the moment everything else seem to be working OK!

Lightroom :: Moving Images Within A Collection?

Feb 17, 2013

Having just watched Julieanne K's tutorial re making a Blurb book, she began with her images in a story order.  How does one move images within a collection to an order different from how they were uploaded or taken?  I guess it is simple, but I cannot seem to do it.

Lightroom :: How Does Import Process Sort Images On Memory Card

Jul 29, 2012

It seems as if there is no rhyme of reason as to how the import process presents the previews to select for import. I did s shoot last night and the images are spread out over different areas between other photos that I took in the past. Shouldn't they just be sorted by image name so they are presented together?

Lightroom :: Smart Collection Of Images That Have Been Printed?

Feb 1, 2014

I'd like to create a smart collection of images that have been printed.  Is there any way to do this?  If not, is there a way to search for images that have been printed?
 
Separately, one my smart collections screens by edit date so that I can find out what I have worked on recently.  However, it also picks up everything I shot and imported recently, even if I haven't edited the images.  Is there any way to filter these out?
 
I'm using LR 5.3 for Windows.

Lightroom :: Add Images From Collection After The Book Is Saved?

Nov 13, 2013

I prepared a rough draft of a book and saved it with the tab on the right hand top of the main screen. Unfortunately, I saved it with the option of only saving the used images from the original collection. Later I brought up the draft book and tried to add some additional images, but see that only the images already used in the book are available on the image strip at the bottom.  I need to get other images which are in the original collection.  Is there any way to do this?  If not, is there a way to save the entire format of the book and then start over with the same format but with the original full collection as the source of images in the bottom strip?

Lightroom :: Adding Images Into A Book Collection

Apr 9, 2013

I am producing a book via lightrom. Just about completed it and hit save. The problem is that when I did this only my currently selected images in the film strip were included in the book collection (files starred 2 and above) and I cant work out how to make all f the files in my route folder (unstarred, etc) appear in the collection.
 
I had been building the book from a folder on my E drive, not a collection.

Lightroom :: Collection Shows 48 Images - Not Show Up?

Jun 2, 2012

I created a collection called, "favorites." The catalog indicates there are 48 images in that collection; however, the images do not show up.  (This seems to be different from the "missing" problem - I understand how that can happen...) don't know where to look and don't know if I have lost those images somehow?  I have approximately 25 other collections, all of which seem fine.

Lightroom :: How To View Only Select Images Out Of A Collection Of Digitized Slides

Dec 11, 2012

I have not yet purchased adobe photo software. Which version is the simplest to accomplish what I want to do and is it simple?  Or do I even need photo software.  I have digitized my 50 years of slides. They are in large folders on the computer. Each folder is labelled only with a time period. Each image was corrected via MS Photo Gallery and then tagged or labelled with who or what, where and when.
 
How can I best send them out to the children to view on their computers but with  a way for them to select and view only the ones they are interested in out of the thousands. Like " Diana" or "Grand Canyon 2010".  We are 75 and not very computer literate yet. We have done this once now  and want to take the next step to make it a user friendly resource for our kids and grandchildren

Lightroom :: Smart Collection - Can Source Be Named Collection Set?

Jun 25, 2013

If I specify a smart collection rule that says the source must be a collection matching some pattern, does this only apply to actual collections and exclude collection sets?

I was hoping fo a way to build a rule based on the collection set ... is this possible?

I also tried matching Any Searchable Text set to the collection set name, but that doesn't seem to work...wouldn't all photos in the collection set be associated with that string? Looks like no.
 
There used to be a way I thought that you could submit a new thread after doing a question search. That seems to be gone.

Lightroom :: How To Select Multiple Keywords To Add To Images Without Keywords Collection

Lightroom has a collection containing all images without keywords.

As soon as I apply a keyword to images they instantly disappear from the collection. This is alright when I only want to apply a single keyword, but how do I stop it happening when I want to apply multiple keywords to the same image(s)?

Lightroom :: Sort Alphabetically Not By ASCII Value

Nov 24, 2013

In LR5 I wish to sort by file name. However my camera names files as ABC123, ABC124, ABC125 etc etc. Lightroom sorts such names as ABC3, ABC2, ABC5 etc because the numeral part of the name is looked as as an ascii not a numeral. I think!!
 
However whatever the reason, sorting such file names doesn't work. As each import may consist of several hundred files, renaming manually to avoid numerals isn't an option.
 
Is there a naming system that can be automated that would result in this type of sorting resulting in what a human would expect?
 
Filenames such as Garden(1), Garden(2) etc are no better by the way.

Lightroom :: Can Sort / Rearrange Photos

Aug 23, 2013

I am tired of my zillion of photo's scatered over my harddrive. I have backups of backups of my photo's, and sure have duplicates. Maybe even 6 times. Who knows.I used picasa to sort things out, but I am beginning to dislike this way of working.
 
So I looked at some reviews of lightroom. Can I sort/rearrange my photos. And how. As the folder is 30gb big with subfolders and subfolder in that. Most of the 30gb is duplicates.I want to have it sorted by date. I can always manually change a folder name. But need to get rid of the duplicates and have it sorted.I downloaded the trial, and tried to import photos. But is get to 199 pics and then it stops.
