Photoshop :: Sharing Catalog Among Multiple Xp User Profiles?
Nov 15, 2006
I've recently upgraded from Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 to Elements 5.0 with integrated album. Here's my problem.
I have three separate user profiles on my XP computer, and I want to share the same catalog among them all. This was no problem with Album 2.0, however in Elements 5.0 I can't make it work. From each user account I've opened the program, selected "Preferences" and pointed it to the same "my catalog" file and photo directory locations, but it only works from the account from which I installed the Elements package.
Elements seems to be fully available and functional from the other user accounts, but selecting "organize" either gives me the metadata without access to the pictures themselves, or tells me the catalog was created with an earlier version of Album and needs to be converted. In the latter condition, if I allow it to convert it tries for a while then returns an error.

I just started out using Lightroom 4 for managing family photos. What I want to do is to share the LR catalog so that my kids and wife can access the database from their own accounts. I tried sharing the directory with the catalog and all the photos. But when I open lightroom from my kids's account, I keep getting an "unexpected error openning the catalog".
I am using Windows 8, 64bit
The catalog was created in my account (adminstrator)
the other accounts are normal accounts
I have searched around but all the questions ask about sharing on network drives. But I just want to share the catalog on the same machine on local harddrive. I made sure that all the other lightrooms are closed in the other accounts (everyone else is signed off) before I tried to open it from my kid's account.

I will be managing a small portion of a client's overall image workflow by updating their web prescence on a regular basis with new work and retagging/uploading old work. I believe this requires the catalog and the image library to be housed on an external hard drive that can travel between the two of us. We are both working on PC's with LR 5.3.
The workflow would look something like this:
Client downloads new images onto external hard drive and imports into LR "ClientCatalog" is created Flags Picks and Creates a Collection from those Picks.Hard drive is handed off to me where I open "ClientCatalog".Make suggested edits to images add detailed tags and metadata upload to various social media sites and websites return hard drive to client
Is there potential problem with this workflow? My assumption is that if everything is housed on the external hard drive then there are no worries about the catalog containing all the latest updates. Are there any "safety protocols" you would add in to this workflow (besides mirroring everythign on another hard drive)?

I have a desktop (Windows 7) and a laptop (windows 8), both are running Elements 8. I plan to share photos and catalog between them with no duplication of data.
An external harddrive was attached to the desktop, photos were downloaded, a catalog was created, photos were imported - all worked fine.
I detached the ext drive from the desktop and attached it to the laptop with the same drive letter as used on the desktop. The custom location of the catalog was set to point to the catalog on the ext drive. When I tried to open this catalog, I got the message: "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated" I moved the ext drive back to the desktop and it worked OK, as before.
I then set up a working version of elements on the laptop by:
1. Backing up the catalog on the desktop and restoring it to the laptop.
2. Copying the photos from the desktop to the laptop.
3. Reconnecting the photos to the catalog.
Adobe then worked fine on the laptop using the restored catalog.
But, this is not what I want to do. I want to have ONE catalog and ONE set of photos on an ext drive which can be plugged into either computer.

Just returned to PSE after a gap of several versions.I MacBook Pro, two users (both admins) and several cameras. I want one (and only one, at present) catalog that can be accessed by both users of the MacBook so that each user has access to all of the pix
I Installed Elements and added a few photo's to a folder in the root of the hdd, and tinkered a little. Discovered that the auto-created catalog was buried in the user/username path, not appropriate for multiple users, I thought.
So backed up catalog to external drive, then restored it to the folder that I'd previously added the photos to, viz HD/ALL PHOTOS/My Catalog. This works absolutely fine for me, as I set it up.
When the other user starts Elements and goes Catalog Managent and browse to Other Locations: HD/ALL PHOTOS/ and is able to select 'My Catalog' and Open. She then gets the message "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt or the version is out of date"
Both usaers have R&W permissions. Both users are definately pointing at HD/ALL PHOTOS/My Catalog.

I buy moldings from a couple of local vendors but they don't offer DWG's of the moldings. What is the best method for getting a molding profile (from a catalog) into AutoCAD?

I am in the process of generating a separate package which is a suppliment to the main package for a project. The sheets from the suppliment will be incorporated into the main project, but many sheets from the main project will not be included in the suppliment.
My thought was to make a separate sheet set that shares layouts with the main set which I was able to do by making a copy and renaming the .DST file. Now I see that supposedly a single layout cannot exist in two sheet sets. I ended up working around this by creating a sheet in SSM with the same # and Name in each Sheet Set and was able to get them to appear in both. Want to find out if I'm creating a landmine of a problem down the road or if there is a better way to do what I'm doing. In the past, I beleive we simply selectively printed only the appropriate sheets but on that project it was cumbersome and at the scale of this project it will be worse.

How to import metadata user presets from another Lightroom catalog?

I have 2x user presets (one for each of 2x camera's), which I use to apply to images on Import.
When moving a catalog from my laptop (rMPB) to the desktop (iMac) (created of just one image folder), using the export / import catalog routine, these presets just list as "unavailable preset" in the Develop Status metadata sorting options in the library module.
I have exported these presets from the laptop and imported them to the desktop and then re- exported/imported the catalog but the results are the same. Is there a way for these presets to be recognized and sorted by correctly when importing a catalog?

I've got a nifty monitor that comes uses Spectraview II and the NEC calibration puck -- It is terrific, I calibrated the monitor for print and it gave me very close print emulation on my monitor.
However I do work both for print and for the internet (ads, banners, etc.) When I create a banner in Photoshop and then optimize it for the web, the resulting jpeg is often quite different in color from the psd file.
To solve this problem I recalibrated the monitor for rgb. However, that overwrote the print calibration profile, the NEC software did not give me the option to save it in addition to the print profile. I do not want to go through the entire calibration process every time I switch from working for print to internet.
If it is possible to save multiple calibration profiles that I can switch in system preferences?

I use GIMP for a number of purposes, including general image editing, drawing and pixel art.
I'd like to be able to set up profiles for different hotkeys, default windows/window positions/brush settings, etc., but so far as I can find the only way to do this is to either replace/edit the settings files when loading up a different profile or changing its directory settings, neither of which is very convenient, nor am I sure if either is even sufficient.
I'm using Windows XP and GIMP 2.8.

I would like to know if it is possible to create more then one shortcut key profile in acad2011.
I need more then one acad.pgp file with different configurations that i can load via express => tools any time I want. Tried to make a copy and name it acad1.pgp, acad2.pgp, etc... but when I start up express tools, cmd editor, the option file => open does not give me the result I was hoping for. Does nothing actually, just allows me to view the shortcut configurations in the particular file. Hope that this explains my predicament

I'm having a problem with profile shortcuts showing up under multiple alignments. I have 16-alignments and profiles in their own drawings. I didn't create the shortcuts right away as I was still figuring out how I wanted the project dir structure. When I had that solved, I started creating the shortcuts. When I checked them, some of the alignments had up to 6-profiles from other alignments listed under them. One alignment had 3-profiles, and not one of them was for the alignment.
I removed all the profile shortcuts and started bringing them in again. Same problem. This was after shutting C3D down, cleaning up the tmp files and restarting.
There are shortcuts for 36 other alignments, and none of them appear to be affected, only these last 16. Validate Data Shorcuts doesn't do anything.

there is a way to delete multiple profiles at the same time?
Currently, I have to go through the prospector and delete them one at a time. I have an alignment with many profiles (various walls along the length of the road), but have split the drawing up into several files... How can I delete all the profiles at once?

I have no issues when using autocad for simple 2d drafting, layers and commands seem straightforward enough, but I am having real difficulty with the 3d interface when set up with 4 viewports, similar to Rhino (top, front, right and perspective)
Question #1: can I link the viewports so that moving around in 1 moves the other simultaneously to the same zoom and location?
Question #2: can I set up the MButtonPAN (or similar for orbit) command to orbit ONLY when in a perspective viewport? (in rhino, the right mouse button always orbits in a perspective viewport, and pressing shift with right mouse button can pan, ideally this is what I need or some variant of it). It seems very cumbersome to have to use the orbit button every time I want to adjust my perspective view!
Basically I want to make my workflow as similar to Rhino as possible, as it has become deeply engrained, and so far the crossover is not going well.

I have Mac OSX 10.7.5 The catalog exists on a shared LOCAL folder that other users have read-write access to The catalog works fine for the 1st user (no issues viewing, tagging, or updating photos & repairing it yields no issues)However when I try to open this catalog with any other user I receive an error that the catalog may be corrupt and therefore cannot be opened...
Any way to share their catalog with multiple users on a Mac?

When using the publish command to print multiple sheets from Civil 3D, it will sometimes fail to print certain objects. Usually it is a profile. Occasionally it drops some of the pipes. When we plot sheets individually it plots fine. Only C3D objects are affected, not regular ACAD objects. It only seems to be pipes and profiles. This problem is sporadic. It may be drawing specific but the sporadic nature of it makes it hard to say for sure.
The way we set up our drawings, profiles and pipes are almost always DREF's. This appears to be related. If we creat a test drawing with everything in one drawing publish works fine. If we then seperate into two drawings, DREF the data, and then publish again, the pipes disappear (from the plot not the drawing itself).
The same problem occurs on two different printers so I don't think it's driver related.
It started happening when we were on 2008. I thought maybe it was just that version. However, it seems to have gotten worse in 2009.

I have a design file that has and alignment with 3 profiles (one surface profilke and two layout profiles)
All these are data referenced to the project. Then they are data referenced into a new file. I bring in one of the profiles that brings in the alignment. Lets call it "Main Street". Then I create another reference to another one fo the profiles and it brings in a copy of an alignment and calls it "Main Street (1)"
This is a pain because I cant get a profile view to show all the profiles because the profiles are associated with three different alignments "Main Street", "Main Street(1)", "Main Street(1)(1)"
This is only happening with one of the of the alignments. The other alignment has all its profiles listed under one alignment.

working on one big file with Vault/multultiple user scenario?
Lets say you design a car and having the frame and the body you have different guys that come in and do electrical, fuel system, so on... They need to work with the frame and the body doing their parts, since thats the reference for them.
But only one guy can check it out. We try the approach that one system is an entire independent assembly inserted into the top assembly but its not perfect.

If you create any custom coordinate systems in 2014 products (Civil3D, Map3D) *.CSD files are created in C:Users{user_name}AppDataLocalAutodeskUser Geospatial Coordinate Systems with the additional data in them.
My question is - can you have multiple 'coordsys.csd' files?
The reason for asking is that we are setting up a large number of low distortion projections that are specified by a government roading agency and I figure the best way to distribute these is to create a coordsys.csd with them and sync it out to everyones profile (the location shown above), but there could then be issues if a user then sets up some additional coordinate systems that will only be on their computer, if we altered or expanded the company definitions and sync'd these out again it would overwrite the users ones.
It would be good to be able to have mutilple custom coordinate system files - ones for particular clients, countries, individual users etc.

Is there a way to allow user to select multiple files inside the file dialog using scripts? So not just something like "*.ai" or "*.eps" but where the user can actually use their shift key to select a batch of files inside the file dialog and then the script would process each one.

Trying to find ICC Profiles. I am a college student going for my BS in Photography. Our assignment is to take photo paper from three different manufactures and download the ICC Profiles for each of our papers chosen. Let me tell you this is not as easy as it seems! Where I can find the profiles for Adobe PS for different types of photo paper. Each manufacture only gives the ICC profile for their products. No scanned profiles are available.

I would like to import multiple catalogs simultaneously into one catalog.
The thing is that I lost my main catalog in a hard-drive failure and my last backup is too old. Fortunately I always "export a folder as catalog" into the original pictures folder, so I always keep starring, color editing, etc.
What I would like to do now is to import each of these litle catalogs into one new main one, without having to import each at a time, but all simultaneously, which would save me an enormous amount of time.
Is there a way to do this?

I am having some issues with surface profiles on a dreffed alignment no updating dynamically.
Currently it requires me to set them to static, then back to dynamic and they update.
I am well aware of the issue of dreffed surface profiles staying static. I am using the work around of dreffing in the surface and sampling in the drawing using the dreffed alignment.

I currently have my LR 4 libriaries and catalogs on a external drive that i can transport between my laptop and office mac. The only issue I am having is when I color label photos on one computer it does not show up on the other computer. Is there a preference for this? It is the only thing I can't figure out and is frustrating after rating them on one computer and then not having them later on the other.
