I would like to purchase a new Mac before this good old Mac revolts completely. I store my images on external hard drives and have heard nightmares about others attempting to transfre to a new Computer. How do I safely transfer Lightroom to a new computer with as little stress as possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI bought a new computer and am trying to transfer my files from the old computer to the new one. I thought I had it done right, brought the photos into the new computer, and then started working away. I have now discovered, none of my .jpg photos brought over the changes made. For instance, if I go into the Develop mode, all controls are set to "0". I revisited the old computer, and they are not all set to "0" there. What have I done and how do I correct this? I'll never change computers again with Lightroom.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOn December 19th, I just went to Mac from Windows. Bought a new computer (OS X) and transfered files from an external hard drive. I did not do the stardard catalog transfer and had many pictures I wanted to delete, so I transferred the old pictures through the "Another Catalog" feature import. So far so good. All worked very well for 2 years worth of pictures... while I was transferring CR2 files. Did not lose any images until I hit the following snag.
I was still on the old Windows pc on December 11th when I decided to start using DNG files and started using "Copy as DNG" option for import. On December 19th I received the new computer and started the transfer process.
The DNG files (Copy as DNG) which I started using on Dec 11th did not transfer, not one image. I lost all the information for these files. The actual DNG file is fine, but all the catalog information with all the adjustments do not transfer as the CR2 files did. At first I just got an error message when I transferred the images... saying error occured. I did not know why the transfer was not happening, and on further investigation I realized that the correct transfer stopped on Dec 11th. That is when I realized it must have been because of the DNG "new" file format. I decided to just transfer one image at a time to see exactly what would happen and Lightroom5 said "the original file is not available". I then realized that when I transferred the images from Dec 11 thru Dec 19th I COPIED them from the external drive as "Copy as DNG"... which means that I was trying to transfer and copy as DNG a file that was already copied as DNG. I made this error because I had just started using that feature and did not remember to switch to just "copy" for the transfer for those dates. Could this error have caused the non-transfer of the files for those dates?
Bottom line is that I have lost all the work for that one week which included a number of images.
When I open the old catalog I see the image information but a blank space for the missing images... right next to each image it is the DNG raw file..side by side. I cannot get the old catalog to recognize the individual catalog information for each image I worked on.
My question is... can anything be done to recover that information. Missing photographs is not the problem. It appears either my error of double copy of DNG format is the issue OR I had set the preferences incorrectly somewhere. I am aware that I could have embedded the RAW file information into the DNG file, but this was not checked off in the preference menu. Could there be any comparability issues between OS X and Windows? I do not think this is the problem but just putting it out there. My greatest fear is thinking I am using DNG incorrectly and will lose everything again in the future.
BTW, the original CR2 files are not avalable to me any more... computer hard drive was erased as it appeared all the information had backed up properly. And the backup files on the external hard drives are DNG format. So no CR2 files are available at all.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm planning to upgrade my Windows system from a 6-year old XP box to a new Windows 7 system. Moving my entire digital photo archive and Lightroom (3.4) catalog will be part of the process. I need a faster system and desperately want to get active, but older, image files onto a fast internal hard drive. My catalog currently has about 110,230 images in it.
Before I begin the transfer I'd like any tips to make the process go as smoothly as possible.Here's the current setup (I license my images as stock from my office so everything is in one LR catalog):
2003-2006 photos on an external Networked Attached Storage (NAS) box
2007-2008 photos on an internal hard drive (#1)
2009-2011 photos an an internal hard drive (#2)
Scanned slides on internal hard drive (#1)
Physical and LR folder structures for all of the above are similar, starting with a top-level "Camera 20xx" and then subfolders for major image categories, e.g. flowers, forests, portraits.
Archived .PSD and .TIF files from a book project on a second NAS box .lrcat file on internal hard drive (#1)Planned new computer setup:
2003-2011 photos on internal hard drives, same folder structure as old system, but drive letters likely to change.Scanned slides on internal hard drive, same folder structure as old system, but drive letter likely to change
After I reinstall LR on my new computer and copy the .lrcat file over, will I simply be able to point LR to one image for each year and it will be able to find all the rest of the photos in that year's folder structure? Or is it going to be more complicated than that to re-synchronize Lightroom with the new folder locations?
I've been having problems with LR 5.2 when I do sharpening (and sometimes spot removal) in the develop module. It looks fine in the develop pane, but when I move to library module the sharpening and spot removal disappear (and reappear when I switch back to develop). The exported images are the same as the view in Library mode. How do I get the exported images to have the sharpening and spot removal that I've done in develop?

I bought a "Startech S-Video / Composite to USB Video Capture Cable w/ TWAIN and Mac® Support" so that I could use any software w/it. I thought I could use Microsoft Movie Maker, but it doesn't work. So, I got VideoStudio Essentials X4 with the capture device. All my tapes are fine, and they play fine with I'm capturing...but when I go to view the video, it's jumpy. I only did a few minutes to see how it would do and that's where I hit a wall. I've emailed with Corel support for almost 2 months to find out that they don't support the software I got. As a last resort, he asked that I download the free version of VideoStudio Pro X4. I did, and still the same thing happens.
