After using a map on my ssd I want to move it to an other disk.. just drag and drop you say... yes but that wanted disk is way down under and out of sight; and the window is not scrolling down when I "pull" on it.
So I can not reach the wanted disk.. what to do?
I tried to move the catalog of my 250'000 pictures (lightroom 4.1 - Win7) to another Disk than C:/ (which is quite full) but in the catalog preferencies, it is only possible to view the path ant the location of this catalog. As I manually tried to move the all the "Lightroom" folder (including .Irdata Previews and .Ircat files) I had a blank Lightroom at the next start up. I think that the link was therefore broken. How can I have the catalog on a more capacitive HD than in the default C:/ ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem moving files, importing files and deleting them from my disk.
Seems to be a problem between my Mac and Lightroom, but i'm not sure.
I have run out of space on my main hard drive ( C) and cannot resize it.I have another vacant disk drive in the same computer (300 gigs) that I would like to move the en tire catalogue to .
How I would redirect Lightroom to find and use it in the new location.
I'm going to move my image library, catalog and ACR cache to an external drive so that I can work with a consistent set of files and edits on multiple computers. I know what I need to do to move the catalog, and I know how to move the image files to the new drive so that LR is aware of the move.
But what I'd really like to do is copy the image files to the new drive while leaving the existing images on the internal drive as a backup. As far as I can tell, LR doesn't support copying of images within the program. If I copy the files outside of LR, without deleting the originals, LR is going to conitinue to point to the orignal files on the internal disk.
So, if I right click on a folder in the Library module folder tree, there's an option to Update Folder Location, and this seems to do what I need it to do, although I've only tried it on a single folder. Will Update Folder Location work to relink an entire folder tree in one operation?
One related question: Where does LR store it's preferences? One of the catalog specific preferences is Standard Preview Size. My desktop has much higher res monitors than my laptop, so if this setting is stored in the catalog then I'll have to pick one value for both computers. I'm thinking it would be better to use the larger value, for the desktop, but I'm not sure how that will play on the laptop. (It would be nice if this were computer specific, rather than catalog specific.)
I have one hard disk filling up with photos, so I have purchased a secondary hard disk to expand my storage. I would like to move my shoots from 2010 to that new hard disk, but I don't want to loose all of the edits saved on them in LR3. I have experimented with moving non-important images that have edits on them, then re-importing them. Unfortunately, LR3 does not preserve that history.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy computer hard disks is full and I have nearly 10,000 pictures. I have purchased a 2nd hard disk and would like to move my pictures to the new disk.
I have used Photoshop Album 3 to mark the photos so I can find them and I need to be sure when I move the pictures this information stays with them and that new pictures will be placed into this new hard disk called "P".
I have adobe photoshop elements 11 running on my iMac.
My problem: when viewing the grid in my organizer albums, I can't see the bottom rows of photos-- I can see a slim line of the top of each photo but not the entire photo.
I've used the minimizer/maximizer green button in the left top corner-- not much changes between those views. I've moved my dock to the left of my screen instead of at the bottom. I've quit and restarted the application. Still can't see those bottom rows of pictures.
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'.
Usually the tool cursor is a circle the size the tool is set to, that is, it will be 60 pixels in diameter when the tool size is set to 60 pixels. Sometimes, the tool cursor changes to a gun sight-like icon. I have no idea what I'm doing to cause that, but I'd like to know in order to 1) stop doing it, and 2) maintain my sanity.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to select part of an image with just one layer. Say I just flattened the image and have to move one part of. I select it with the rectangular select tool. It seems intuitive that I could then just move what I selected, but when I drag the selection, the selection itself moves without moving what is inside the selection.
If I then remember to click the move tool and try to move what's in the selection (seems to work sometimes, maybe when there's multiple layers?) the entire image moves.
The only way I can move part of the image over is if I make a selection and then cut it (ctrl X) then paste it.
How am I supposed to move part of the flattened image, is there a way I can set it to default to "When I select something, I can immediately drag that selected area around."
Windows 7, had everything working fine. Added SSD and installed system from scratch on SSD. Old drive is now my second drive.
Trying to put the scratch disk on the second (old) drive to reduce wear on the SSD. But every time I do, I get the disk error message and it erases all my settings (so annoying!)
I figure it's a permissions thing since I've had to deal with that already to some degree, but I don't know how to fix it since I don't know where adobe is trying to save the scratch file.
I have LR 4.2 on Windows 7 x64 (having recently upgraded from LR3).After flagging images in a collection as rejected I want to remove them from disk.In LR3 I just clicked Ctrl + Backspace and I had the option to delete from disk or just remove from catalogue, I don't get that option in LR4
worked fine in LR3. I've searched the preferences and can't see any option, I've also clicked "reset all dialogues" in case that was hiding the option but still nothing. I've tried in Library and Develop and no option still, I can only remove from catalog
Whenever I try to delete fom disk nothing happens. I've tried doing this directly by hitting the delete key on keyboard, but also by deleting rejected photos. Nothing happens.
I'm on a Mac, OSX.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI would really like to be able to save edited photos to disk, i.e., overwrite the original. I know this is a breach of some universal law, but I would LOVE to be able to make changes in Develop mode in LR, then overwrite the original file on disk. In my opinion, if the photo in LR resides in a folder, then edits should overwrite the file in the folder. If the photo resides in a catalog, then only changes to the catalog image should be made.
Is there anyway to get LR 5.2 to overwrite photos in a folder with the edited version?
