Lightroom :: Catalogue Is Corrupted - Won't Save A New Catalogue?

Dec 23, 2013

Got the <Unexpected error opening catalogue> dialog when starting Lightroom 5.2.  Will not allow me to save a new catalogue. Deleted old catalogue thinking that might prompt Lightroom to create a new catalogue or allow me to create and save a new one.Create Folder with New Catalogue allows me to enter a new catalogue name but then Select Catalogue dialog box is empty. Program wont open!

Lightroom :: Catalogue Structure - How To Get Pictures Into A Catalogue

Mar 16, 2013

I have been using Photoshop elements for many many years and am now looking to use Lightroom as an Interface.
 
At the moment, I have a Folder structure on my computer. At the Top I have Photos. Under Photos I have 43 additional Folders such as ( Cindi/Ivan Pictures, Cory & Jess Pictures, Barry & Janie Pictures, etc..) Now for each of these folders, such as Cory & Jess Pictures, I have a set of folders basically broken down by month/year. Now in a Given Month/Year Folder, I have a set of folders with each one containing the pictures of a given event that occurred ( birthday, trip, etc…). Guess my initial question is how do I get these pictures into a Lightroom Catalog and do I continue to use the same Structure.
 
Another example - Under the Barry/Janie Pictures Folder, one of the many Folders in this Folder is called Trips. Inside the Trips folder, I have folders for every major trip that Janie & I have taken since 2004 (21 different folders) (For example there is an Isreal Folder). The Israel Folder is made up of a set of folders, for each individual event or place that we visited during our Trip - i.e. 59 different folders.  How would this Trips Folder be brought into Lightroom?

Lightroom :: Merge 2.7 Catalogue / Keywords To 5 Catalogue?

Jan 14, 2014

I'd like to move my existing LR catalog and keywords from 2.7 to my LR 5 catalog. I am using a windows PC, my mac stopped working last month.
 
What I want is to end up with 1 catalog with all my photos in LR 5 with all my previous edits from LR 2.7 and the keywords as well. By the way, my LR 5 has photos in it as well.

Lightroom :: 4.0 - How To Organize 19,000 Pictures

May 30, 2012

I’m trying to organize all my files in lightroom 4.0 and my computer.
 
Lightroom aside, the way I have my photos organized are like this. Follow along with the photo!
 
In the My Pictures folder I have a few folders for each year. You open up a year, like 2011 and it opens up each photo session I did. For example if I went to the beach on March 25 I would make a folder titled March 25, Beach Shoot. Inside that folder would be all of my pictures from the beach.
 
Well in lightroom I imported everything and it all shows up as various folders. There are no years, all the years are crammed into one section in the module. The folders section under my C drive.
 
Its really hard to find certain photos from shoots. I dont care to look through shoots from 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 when I went on a shoot yesterday, in 2012.
 
What is the best way to organize all my pictures from various years? How do others do this? I bought a Lynda membership for their video lessons and took a 5 hour course on how to organize Lightroom and the guy in the video was dealing with like 150 shots. I’m dealing with almost 20,000.

Lightroom :: Use 5.3 To Organize M2TS Videos?

Feb 9, 2014

organize the pile of images and various videos that we have taken over the years. It seems like LR is optimized to organize image. But can it work with my Sony AVCHD video and mp4, mov formatted videos as well? And if so, How good is it at these tasks?

Lightroom :: Organize Files And Folders

Nov 16, 2011

I am trying to organize files and folders in lightroom and I am assuming it works the same way as bridge or better yet Apple Finder.
 
The file structure does not match from finder to lightroom. I am finding so many duplicated files.
 
All of my imports seem to go into a 2011 folder. I also tried to create a sub folder within 2011 and promote it to the master Lightroom Photos Folder but it does not work. I've been using a mac for over 20 years and this seems just wrong.

Lightroom :: Organize Automatically In Folders

May 29, 2013

I am organizing photo's of patients in a lightroom catalog. Each patient has a folder with his ID number. These are organised in the catalog according to the pathology. I can import photo's of the same patient after one year and I would like them to go easily in the same folder, with his ID number. Because the catalog with subfolders is large, it can be hard to find that folder. Is there an easy, 'automatic' way to find it, and to put the new photo's straight in this folder?

Lightroom :: Transitioning From IPhoto - How To Organize And Browse Photos

Jul 28, 2012

I'm trying to transition away from iPhoto to Lightroom.  Honestly I've always liked iPhoto.  I've found it very easy to use, and the way it organizes photos into "events" is very useful.  However, I'll be doing most of my photo work on a PC, so I'm moving over to Lightroom instead.

I have already exported all of my iPhoto library.  Each event has its own folder (named after the event), and all the photos have their meta data.  Everything is copacetic.

My question is a matter of organization of the photos within Lightroom.  In iPhoto, all the events were listed chronologically, and this made it easy to locate what I was looking for.  In Lightroom, however, it seems that the way you navigate photos is through the folder list under "Library," which is listed alphabetically instead of chronologically. 

I currently have 136 separate folders. So I turn to you for a bit of advice since I am brand new to this program.  Any way to organize and browse photos in Lightroom that I don't know about?

Lightroom :: Transfer PSE 10 Catalogue To LR3?

Feb 23, 2012

I will giving a presentation on editing options to our photographic society in a couple of weeks. One of members raised this question to me.

He is currently using PSE 10 to manage around 11,000 photos. He is getting into problems with the data base crashing and is looking at moving to Lightroom. He has been told that there is no way to make the transfer and will need to wait for LR 4 for a fix.

Lightroom :: How To Import A Catalogue Into 4.4

Nov 9, 2013

I'm trying to import a catalogue into Lightroom 4.4. The catalogue I'm importing has 3397 images but only 1806 of these images have been imported. I tried to reimport, but the import dialogue box won't let me tick any of the boxes. With the preview window open in the import dialogue box it seems that some images are missing, yet they are all there when I go to the folder. The images and catalogue I'm trying to import are on my desktop. I have verified and repaired disk permissions after clearing my caches.

Lightroom :: Cannot Open Catalogue On CD

May 8, 2012

I need to export a catalogue for a college assignment and burn to CD. The export had a slight hiccup with conflicts in metadata for 2 of the dng files, but I just overwrote the data. The main problem is when I burned the files to CD and tried opening the catalogue on the CD I get the following error:
 
"lightroom cannot open the catalog named "..." located on volume DVD RW Drive (E:) because Lightroom cannot save changes to this location"
 
What am I doing wrong? I'm using LR3.4, and running Win Vista on my laptop at home. Is it an issue with my pc? Should I use the Mac's in college instead? I need to know soon as the assignment is due 11 May 2012 (this fri).

Lightroom :: Catalogue Losing Changes?

Jul 24, 2012

when I open Lightroom (4.1, Win7 64bit), it seems to revert to a previous time, losing recent changes, my last imports and edits, for example.
 
If I go to 'resynch folder', all my files are there, showing, say, 3,500 when my present catalog shows 3000. When I do resynch, all my labels, keywords etc edits are still present on both the 'missing' files and the ones still present in the catalog which had lost their edits.

Lightroom :: Catalogue Is Not Writeable?

May 29, 2012

I just returned from a six-week trip with lots of photos. Used my laptop with an external HD on which I had the trip catalog and files. When I connect the HD to the Desktop and open the trip catalog, I get the message that the catalog cannot be used because it is not writable and cannot be opened. Maybe because of incorrect pemissions or that catalog is being used by another application. Checked the permissions, seems OK, not being used by another application.

Lightroom :: How To Delete A Catalogue In LR5

Jul 22, 2013

inadvertently, i established my lr5 catalogue in my c drive. I managed to move my catalogue over to my f drive,but seemed to delete the lr5 catalogue that i have on the c drive. I thought i had deleted it from the c drive but when i open up preference  and general under catALOGUE SETTINGS it will come up with the catalogue as still being on the c drive.  when i open up the f drive the lr cat will show up with the three files in it so i evidently moved the files successfully.    How can i rectify this permanently so the lr5 cat is not in the c drive?

Lightroom :: Laptop With Backup Catalogue?

Jan 31, 2013

What viewing and/or editing capability will exist if the Lightroom catalog (not the full image files but only the previews) are exported and installed on a laptop? I would like to vuew the images while traveling and do minor editing but the complete image files are too extensive to transfer to the laptop. The comntempated procedure is to export as a catalog with neagtive files unchecked but available previews checked.
