Lightroom :: System Disk's Space When Creating A Backup
Feb 24, 2014
Here's what I have:
250 GB Internal Hard-Disk (with Lightroom catalog on it)
60 GB Internal SSD-Disk (with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 on it)
2 TB External Hard-Disk (place where I try make my backup to)
There is only appox. 6 GB free space on system disk (SSD). When I start to make catalog backup to External 2 TB disk, it makes it long time (copying files to External disk), then after a while Lightroom starts to "Optimizing catalog". And during this optimizing, Lightroom starts to eat disk space on the system disk (SSD). More and more, and then finally it show me the message "Lightroom was unable to back up the catalog named "XXXXX". Please check your folder permissions, and make sure that you have available space on your backup drive and main catalog's drive."
The problem is that I actually HAVE free space on 250 GB disk (where catalog is located) and on External 2 TB (where is backup destination).Lightroom says NOTHING about the fact that he needs lots of free space on SYSTEM disk. But it actually eats it.And what I want to ask, whether it is possible to make Lightroom use space on another disk, not on system?

When doing catalog backup get message " your system is low on disk space, and elements organizer cannot perform the operation. If create a catalog with 20 pictures backup works OK. backing up to a 1TB external drive. Have 16705 pictures in catalog. Total disk space for pictures is 192 MB. Why am I getting message?

Since updating to LR4.2 and moving files around my backup files have grown too much, like 40GB over the last week. If I should uninstalled LR4.2 then re-installed, how do I locate those backup files (perhaps hidden!) before re-installing ?

I have Lightroom v. 4.1. In the process to update to v. 4.2, I receive a message that disk space is insufficient. There is over 500 GB on the hard drive. The update is halted at this time. I am using a Mac, OS Lion.

Lightroom 4.3 today started popping up random 'critically low on disk space' errors for the drive housing the catalog file.The drive in question has over 500GB free. There are no errors in Windows logs showing that OS is throwing these errors.

I have a relatively large photo catalog (200k photos +) that I am in the process of paring down with Lightroom 5. Along the way I have kept certain groups of photos published to Flickr using Smart Photosets so that if I eliminate a duplicate photo from the catalog I will be able to "re-publish" and eliminate that duplicate from the published collection.
My Catalog Files, My Backups, and the actual image files that are referenced in the catalog are all located on an external drive. I did this so that I could have everything on one drive for the time being while I eliminate a ton of photos from the catalog.
The issue that I am running into is that while a collection is being published to Flickr I get a message popping up telling me that I am low on disk space on my local (C) drive and that I need to free up some space. This is odd because everything is located on the external drive (catalog and image files) and I am publishing to Flickr.
I am just trying to figure out if there is a default somewhere that is causing Lightroom to create new thumbnails or previews somewhere on my C drive while I am publishing images to Flickr or something like that. What sort of data might be accumulating in the process here? And is there anyway to move it all or eliminate it for the time being while I am finishing the elimination of duplicate files from my catalog?

I bought photoshop elements 11 and I backed it up on a disk when I got rid of my old computer. But the disk seems to be empty. I made a mistake somewhere. Can I download Photoshop elements 11 ? Now there seems to be only elements 12.

I just installed PS-CC and LR5 on a new computer after a catastrophic failure on the old one, which was running PS-CS6 and LR4. Is there a way to recover my custom settings and presets from a full backup of the old computer and apply them to the new applications on the replacement computer? I have full backups, but no export data for any of the settings or presets. And because the old computer is dead, I can't just run an export.

I've heard it said that it's not a good idea to use your system disk as the media storage, but I've never heard why. I'm running on a Retina MBP with a 750GB SSD. I did a couple of small jobs using it as the media storage and everything worked fine and fast. Then I archive it off to a slower drive. So what's the problem with doing that? SSD is way faster than USB 3 spinning drives & even Thunderbolt. I read somewhere that SSD isn't good for high end video editing, etc., but don't understand why.

I have the PhotoDelux home edition that came installed on my computer (using Windows XP). Now I can not open any more pictures with the program because it is telling me that the scratch disk is full. I have tried for hours to find an explanation somewhere on how to make space on the scratch disk, but the little bit that I found is over my head. I guess I know less about computers than I thought....

We just got our new 2013 disks and I was going to make a backup copy like I usually do (it worked for 2012) and my backup software says there is not enough room on a standard DVD-5 to fit. So did Autodesk use some copy protection or did the install disk get so big it must go on a DVD-DL?

I've dowloaded PS CS4 upgrade to my CS and installed the raw files converter etc and it works like a charm.. I'm suddenly aware that my cd that I've burned to back up (adobe suggested I make a cd) won't open the program in my other computer, and opens it very very slowly and clunkily in my laptop, where the dowloaded program resides...

I'm using PSE/PE 11 with latest updates, Win7 64bit (again, latest updates). I7 cpu w/8GB ram.
When I attempt a backup of the catalog (EVEN after optimizing & reconnecting) to an internal HDD (SSD) with 188GB free - NO LUCK. Attempt another backup to a different internal HDD with 345GB free - NO LUCK - the app says I must free up some disk space/not enough space. My catalog size from System Info shows 21.6MB but within the Backup app of Organizer, it says it is trying to backup 612,678.10MB.

I have calculated some test renders on a small portion of the timeline in order to check things up. Now I would like to delete them and calculate everything at a later time.
Do you know the way to delete renders in order to save hard disk space ? I have tried the "force purge" function, but it didn't delete anything, the "Autodesk media storage" folder is still the same size...
And manually deleting renders in the "Autodesk media storage" folder messes everything up.

I have PSE 10 on my MAC. I normally download my photos onto iPhoto (and a while ago, onto Bridge CS3 which came with an earlier version of PSE) but more recently have become interested in using the PSE Organizer for my photo library. I have started to transfer/copy the photos from iPhoto but, having read various topics on organizing photos, am a little worried that by having the photos in 2/3 places on the MAC I will use much more hard-disk space. I know that the original files for iPhoto are in the 'Library' so that I just see thumbnails on iPhoto ( I may be wrong here?), but will the photos I now have on Organizer be working off those same 'Library' originals or am I doubling up on the space required to store these photos?

Every time you save a file it creates an autobackup file.
Maybe an option not to overwrite them that way they accumulate. Also place them all in a certain folder or even a sub folder.

I would like to know if the "Creating Disk" step in the new VS x4 includes a better burn program than Factory Pro 2010 or Movie Factory 7SE. In Corel website, I didn't find anything about this issue among the features list.

When the 'up' arrow appears in a thumbnail and comes up with the message:
The metadata for one or more of these photos has been changed by another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?
What exactly does that mean? This seems to happen every time I export an image to PS (CS5) and return to LR. What exactly has changed? What settings are being imported if I choose 'import settings from disk'.

How to create an MPEG2 file before creating the disk, I just tried to do this and although I'm using 1080/50i footage in 16:9, the only options it gives is below.
I am now trying to render using the optimiser in custom mode which gives me the settings I need, i.e. higher data rate and 16:9, but still cant adjust the audio type etc.
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps
Upper Field First
(MPEG-2), 4:3
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 6000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 224 kbps
MPEG audio layer 2, 48 KHz, Stereo
Is there a better way of creating the MPEG2 file.

We're looking into the "Workflow" system in Map3d.One of our most common tasks is to Set the coordinate system and then add a georeferenced image (such as a SID file).
I'd like to create a workflow that will do this -- but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get it to set the coordinate system. I will eventually need to tell the image what coordinate system to use (we normally have to edit that manually).

When i back-up the catalogue, i assumed the backup would be mede of al the tags added to photo's. When i check the catalogue-files, i see a whole lot of jpg-files. My actual photo-collection contains jpg-, raw an avi-files.
I have a habit of making a copy of all my photofiles, but now it seems double
Question: Does de backup-function of photoshop elements 11 actually make a backup of tags and photo's?

I uninstalled Lightroom, because it was too slow on my computer. It put a lot of library files and directories in My pictures folder.
When I use a backup program (SyncbackSE) to backup my pictures, it starts to scan all the Lightroom library files and it takes forever (hours and counting). Even though Windows cannot find the directories (with hidden and system files shown). I want to completely delete the Lightroom directories, because now I can't backup my images anymore. It is a pain in the dark places.

Using CS6 on my desktop and laptop. On desktop, all my palettes are on the second monitor and the primary monitor is dedicated to displaying images. All the images are in tabs.
On the laptop (18" widescreen), I have two columns of the palettes I use constantly on the right, and the tools against them. This leaves me space to the left for images to display. My problem is that when I have things set up with images as tabs, the images appear to use the entire screen, always partially obscured by my palettes.
Is there a way for me to have CS6 full-screen, palettes on the right, AND somehow define a space so my images aren't obscured by the palettes?

I wanted to find some space-related brushes from photoshop
Obviously using a solid color and painting the brushes on a black background isn't going to do very much for me. I'm kinda new to Photoshopping stuff but I was wondering how they got the shiny, mysterious coloring on those brush sets in the sample images, rather than a boring, solid color. What effects on they using?
