Lightroom :: 5 - Syncing Two Units With External Hard Drive?

Dec 16, 2013

I have a desktop and laptop both of which run Lightroom 5. Recently I have setup a wireless connection to an external drive so that I can share my photos between the two. Problem encountered is that when I do edits on one of the computers the other does not read them because its Lightroom version does not have the edit history thereon. Is there a way that I can sync the two units?

Lightroom :: Moving Pictures From Internal To External Drive?

May 27, 2013

I have lightroom 3.6 on a Mac running OS 10.6.  I am in the process of moving my picture library from the internal drive to an external drive because my internal drive is very full.  I plan to have the LR catalog remain on the internal drive as others have suggested LR will run faster if the catalog remains on the internal drive. 
 
I initiated the move process within the LR library, by selecting all photos within about 150 folders inside a master "my photos" folder on the internal hard drive displayed in the library module of LR.  I then dragged them into the new "my photos" folder I created on the external drive which was displaying inside the LR library module.  
 
First question, this moving process is progressing so slowly, at a rate of about one picture every second.  is this normal? 
 
Second question: When I open the external drive by clicking on the drive itself, outside LR, it seems the pictures are flowing in without any of the original subfolder structure that was present on the internal drive.Is something wrong that I don't see the subfolders on the external drive?  I want to preserve this structure and of course see it show up in the LR library for the external drive.

Photoshop :: Do Tags Follow When Pictures Are Moved From 1 Drive To Another

Nov 25, 2012

When pictures are moved from one folder to another or from one drive to another (ie the C drive to an external drive) do the tags follow?  I move them in My Pictures (Photoshop isn't open) if that matters.  Do I have to do anything to ensure that the tags stay with the pictures?

Lightroom :: 4 - Syncing Photos Between External Drives

Dec 10, 2013

I've got LR4 on my MBP, but all my photos are on a network drive. I'm about to go on a two week trip but I'd like to work on photos for my son's baby book whilst there. The photos are all on a 6TB LaCie which I obviously can't bring with me, but I have a 1TB LaCie Rugged that I can bring along.  I have LR set up such that I have all my son's photos organised by weeks and months, so I would like that set up preserved whilst I'm working away from home. So I thought one way was to copy the entire catalog to my 1TB LaCie, but how do I get it to sync with the photos in the network drive when I get back home? What's the best way of doing this? It's quite a big catalog as well, about 400GB of photos and videos. Previously what I did was to copy the entire catalog to a portable drive, but I ended up having multiple copies of the library in my catalog, i.e. the same picture folders on two different drives. I had to delete the portable drive from the catalog cos they were too many differences between the 2 drives and I couldn't keep up which was which.

Lightroom :: Lost Adjustments When Move Images From Hard Drive To External Drive

Mar 1, 2012

I moved images from my harddrive to an external drive.

I opened Lightroom.

Noticed there was a question mark by the photo folder I needed.

I synchronized the folders. Nada.

I rememebered I moved the images (first line ^^)

I re-imported the images from the external drive into Lightroom.

These images (other than one that was marked previously with a blue label) look completely untouched - completely original files - even though I spent hours working on them.

I am glad the images weren't deleted BUT re-doing 600 images will be a MAJOR FAIL if I can't figure out how to import the images with the settings / developments I did beforehand.

Lightroom :: Merge External Drive Images To Desktop Drive Within Same Master Catalog?

Aug 18, 2013

I have about 900 raw files on an external drive. I edited those files using my master catalog using a laptop while still travelling. When I got home, I copied the master catalog from the external drive to the desk top, then opened the master catalog on my desktop. I can see the edited images on the external drive. So far so good.
 
I want to copy (add) the edited images to my desk top. I tried to export the images as a new catalog and then import it into the desire location on my desktop drive. However, LR5 does not allow that. I get this message: "There is nothing new in the catalog you have selected. All of the catalog's photos are up to date in this catalog." Yes, but the edited  images are not on my desktop.....
 
I also tried to Import from the external drive and then Copy the files to the desktop, but then I lose all of the work done in the develop module and the keywords.
 
I watched Kost's LR 3 video on merging catalogs, but she dodges the question of how to deal with this issue since the "merge" is within the same catalog.I'm using LR5 with Windows 7.

Lightroom :: Keywords / Tags Imported From PSE Not Associated With Images?

Jan 22, 2014

Why are the tags I added to images in PSE not assocated with the images when I import them into LR.  Some of them are on the keyword list, but not all.  And none of them are associated with an image.  I am trying out LR but its difficult if I have to go and retag things again?

Lightroom :: Can't See IPTC Keywords In Keyword Tags Display

Feb 12, 2014

Just starting to use Lightroom (4.4).Testing import to a catalog of images with IPTC metadata.  Using PhotoME to display metadata.  PhotoME shows list of content in IPTC SubjectCode field, and in Keyword field.  These look as intended when I added the metadata to the images in CyPics.
 
But in Lightroom the Keyword Tags display correctly shows the SubjectCode entries, but does not show any of the IPTC Keyword data.

Lightroom :: Elements Tags Into Keywords AND Maintain Structure?

Apr 26, 2012

I would like to move from using Elements to using Lightroom. Whilst I realise that I can import my catalogue and photos, which should also create all my keywords, I am concerned that the existing keywords/tags parent/child structure would be lost? They would be created as a single contiguous list?
 
How to go about moving the tags across whilst maintaining the original structure AND remaining associated with the correct photos?

Lightroom :: Lost Keywords After (re)installing From External Harddisk

Nov 14, 2011

Last weekend, I formatted my PC HD and installed Windows 7 64 bit (previously installed was Vista). A human error was - perhaps - making sure that my backup of AppData was successful. However, my picture folder was on an EHD, and I suppose I would be saved anyway. I ran the import function from my EHD to LR3 (latest version), and everything went just find, except that my keywords were missing. Strange thing though, is that my lists of keywords and keyword suggestions were complete, but not connected to the photos (except for 1!!)So my question is, is there something I have missed (apart from my AppData folder) that could be fixed, or will I have to start re-tagging (keywording that is, metadata like dates etc. were imported as well)?

Lightroom :: Importing From External HD - Will Keywords And Captions Show Up?

Jan 24, 2013

Having a D100 camera and keywords filled out in Nikon View IPTC... would importing into Lightroom show up my keywords and captions?  I neglected to add that I would not be importing them from my computer HD, but from a external HD. All my past work was done on a Gateway PC.  Lightroom will probably be put on a new Mac.  I also have all these photos archived on CDs. Will this change things?  Will my keywords and captions still show up upon import?  If importing from an external HD blocks this, what can I do, what program can I add that will get my metadata across?

Lightroom :: Get Keywords To Export With Pictures Into PSE?

May 15, 2013

When I move a photo with LR keywords from LR to PSE 9, the keywords do not move with the file the majority of the time.  Sometimes the keywords move, but most of the time they do not.  Why?  Is there a secret, or is there something that needs to be done to assure that LR keywords move with the file into PSE 9.

Lightroom :: Back Up To External Drive?

Jan 9, 2013

Usually when I import photos into Lightroom I do not right away make a copy to an external drive. So then when I want to update my backup folder on that drive at a later date, I find myself running into the issue of not knowing which photos need to be added to the drive and which are already on it. Is there an easy way to keep the Lighroom folder in sync with an external hard drive so that there are no gaps in images and so that the folder hierarchy is the same both on my computer and backup drive without actually deleting and reinstalling the entire Lighroom folder all over again which would take forever? Basically what is your backup workflow and how do you keep track of everything?
 
Also is there a way to backup during import so that the images are categorized by year/month (just like in the Lightroom catalog) on the external drive, because usually it just creates a new folder and I have to drag the images into their appropriate folders after the fact.

Lightroom :: Can't Import Images To External Drive

Mar 30, 2014

I just switched from a Windows PC to a Mac.  I downloaded the Mac software from the cloud and installed it.  I have been keeping all my Raw images on a "Passport" external drive for the past couple of years.  I've successfully tranfered my catalog to the Mac and I have no problems importing photos to the harddrive on the Mac. I don't want to keep Raw files on my harddrive because of their size.  But, when I set LR to import to the external drive I get the message shown below.

Lightroom :: Quit Recognizing External Drive

Mar 7, 2013

I am running LR4.3 on a Vista 32 bit system. I have a new Toshiba external drive that has been storing my work from lightroom. All has been working great until last night. I was working on photos and all of a sudden a banner came across the top saying photos is missing or offline and then that the folder was missing. The external drive was still plugged in but not lit up. I unplugged it and shut everything down (multiple times) but the drive has disappeared from the selectable drives on the left hand side. I can access the external drive through windows and my photos are there but LR4.3 does not see it. How can I get LR to see the drive again?

Lightroom :: Adding External Hard Drive?

Nov 27, 2012

My HDD is getting full and I want to be prepared for when it happens.
 
I want to add an external HDD. From what I have read already, I am supposed to import the photos to my new drive, no problem with that. I also don't want a new catalogue.

Question. Let's say the newly added extenal drive is not connected and i want to search from some pictures, let's say of my one son, Gideon. But I know I have pictures of him on both drives, will LR tell me to connect the external drive also? Does it keep track of where my pictures are in such a way that it can tell me which drive to connect, should it happen that I later on have 2 external drives?
