View 3 RepliesWhen I first installed LR4, I used an external HD, which I called Photo Library, for all my images. I also had a second Ext. HD, which I called Photo Library Backup. Unfortunately, Photo Library crashed. I have now replaced it with another, which I now call New Photo Library. For many of my images in LR, when I access them, I get the message that they are either missing or offline.
My question: I now want LR to find ALL my images on New Photo Library. There are 4 folders which I recently downloaded, which are on New Photo Library, but most are not. Many are on Photo Library Backup, and those LR can find. But I'd still like them all to point to New Photo Library.
All the images that are in LR are now in the HD called New Photo Library.
if it is possible to take a camera raw file from lightroom and open it directly in Camera Raw for editing rather than use the editing in LR itself. I thought I read somewhere that it is possible to do this as an automatic setting - when choosing the "edit in Photoshop" menu option a raw file will be opened in Camera Raw and the changes tracked in LR. I prefer the Camera Raw interface in Ps so am hoping I can do this and then proceed on to Ps if I need to do further processing. I am using LR4 and Ps6 on a Mac with the latest updates. I am a recent convert to LR/Ps from Aperture so am still learning.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed PE12 on my IMac (OS 10.8.5) and can not access directly the Photomerge module from Lightroom 5.2: the corresponding menu lines are inactive (dark grey). On the other hand, I cant open the files in Elements from LR, and once there, the Photomerge module works properly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been using v3.6 on a windows 7 PC for about 2 years. I've recently upgraded to v5.3 on the PC and at the same time have installed v5.3 on my laptop also running windows 7. On the laptop using a few new images: the smart preview, exporting and web functions work fine. On the original PC which has my original catalog of c17K images these three functions do not work. As far as I can tell the association between the masters and the images in the library has not been lost. The library and develop functions in v5.3 are working on all the c17K images in the original catalog.I've set the Export dialogue box up using recommendations from answers I've gleaned form other discussions in the forum eg; making sure the 'do nothing' flag is active in the post processing section and reducing the quality of the JPEG image. Still when I export nothing happens.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSince upgrading to LR4, I've not figured how to upgrade my catalog to LR4 also - currently it's labelled as 'Lightroom 2 catalog-2.lrcat". I'm slowly working through updating changes to 'render to LR4' but I'm uncertain if this will then automatically turn the catalog to LR4, or if I need to do this separately - and when?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just bought a copy of the LR5 upgrade disc on the understanding that I can upgrade from LR3 without the need to go via LR4.
However, I can not get the disc to run at all, it is not recognising the disc as having any content.
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, LR currently 4.1. LR has been nagging me to update to 4.3. I downloaded it (twice, thinking that maybe the first download was corrupted) and everytime I try to run the installation, it does not load and basicaly everything freezes. No error message whatsover.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed my upgrade to LR5 last night but it keeps giving me an error when I try to upgrade my LR4 catalog. It goes through the initial steps, stays at "preparing new searchable data" for a long time, then eventually stops and pops up the error message: "Unable to upgrade catalog. Lightroom encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog file and cannot use this catalog in this version of Lightroom". I tried upgrading a smaller catalog that I don't use anymore and it worked fine. how I can get this catalog converted? Its my main catalog with all of my current years' images. For the time being LR 4 is working fine but I'd love to get 5 up and running.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my iMAC to OS 10.7.4 and started getting the following dialog box message when I tried to open Lightroom 4: "The Lightroom catalog cannot be used because the parent folder “/” does not allow files to be created within it. Please fix the folder permissions or choose a different catalog" I have changed the permissions to read/write for the drive, parent folder and catalog file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't import ANY images to LR 4.4 since upgrading my Mac OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 this past week. I downloaded LR5 Beta and all works well. I deleted LR5 Beta to see if it was conflicting with LR4.4 somehow and rebooted. Still no change. I can't import from my card reader (that says it can't even read the files) or from a location on my hard drive. The error message for importing is "Could not copy a file to requested location."
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I used LR3.6 The Library option listed all my files on the left hand side under 'Folder' and showed a sub-folder for each year 2009-2012. I have now upgraded to LR4, and all I can see is 2011. During the install process of LR$ it asked me if I wanted to upgrade the process model, which I said yes and it did. Then, because I had read that 4.1 fixed a lot of issues, I downloaded and installed RC4.1 which I am running now.
How do I make LR4 show me all my Folders? I don't think I should be re-importing them all.
Somehow our watermark function on the library>export process is no longer working after the 4.3 upgrade today. We created a new test watermark and that did not work either.

I click on the little question mark near the box and it tells me that the photo is missing. the box next to the question mark tells me the previos location and asks me if I want to locate it. This is new as of the upgrade. What should I do? This is happening with a couple thousand photographs.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to upgrade from Elements to Lightroom. I'm currently using Elements version 11 for Mac.
With my free trial download of Lightroom, I've attempted multiple times to upgrade my Elements catalog, but it will only recognize about 1100 of my 45000 photos. If I cannot import the catalog I will not be able to switch to Lightroom.
I followed the instructions starting up Lightroom 5, but, when I looked at my files that it upgraded, many file were missing. So I Imported the missing files with LR5. But then I noticed that many of the files I had imported (~3,000), had all the keywords missing! How can I fix this without reindexing the whole batch of files?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded to LR4 from LR3, went through all the steps and created a new LR4 .lcat catalogue, but every time i re-open LR4 I get the prompt to upgrade the catalogue again as below:. I repeated the upgrade but same thing happens each time. Now, I am "choosing a different catlogue" and manually selecting the LR$ catalogue I created, I check the box to open this every time but it wont stick....
The LR4 shortcut wont stay in the Mac dock either...
I am using Mac Lion...
I was wondering if you can upgrade to lightroom 5 from a previously upgraded version of Lightroom as I'd like to do this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDue to reports of poor LR4 performance, I am afraid to upgrade. But because of my desire to use some LR4 presets, I think I want to try it. What steps do I need to take when I upgrade to preserve the option to return to LR3 if LR4 doesn't work well for my system?
