Adding images on external hard drive

• Share a lightroom catalog - Does the catalog and images on external hard drive work?

  I manage a small part of the flow of images overall of the client by updating their prescence web basis with new works and relabelling/download earlier works. I believe that this requires the catalogue and the library of images that will be hosted on an external hard drive that can travel between us two. We work both on PC with LR 5.3.

  The workflow should look like this:

  Customer uploads new images on external hard drive and import LR

  'ClientCatalog' is created

  Flags of pickaxes and creates a Collection of those Picks

  Hard disk is handed to me when I opened "ClientCatalog".

  Make changes suggested in pictures

  Add detailed tags and metadata

  Download on various media sites, social and Web sites

  return the drive to the customer

  Is there a potential problem with this workflow? My assumption is that if everything is housed on the external hard drive, so there is no worries for the catalog with all updates. Can someone find out about potential problems, that I might have forgotten? Are there of "security protocols" you would add in to this workflow (not to mention that everythign on another hard disk mirroring) which would you suggest?

  I came across this problem with my own catalog a few weeks ago. I plugged my external hard drive into a different USB port and everything was gone.

  Not gone, just addressed. It can be re-addressed as required. I think that's enough on MacOs, to name the drive. Under Windows, the details vary depending on the version of the OS (Google for instructions), but it's for Win7:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/Windows7/HT/change-drive-letters-Windows-7.htm

  and it's a good idea to assign a drive letter quite a bit more later in the alphabet, to restrict the possibility of ever finding this already taken letter. For example, it might be X: to HDD external , or P: for Plug in car, or anything that makes sense to you...

  After having done this, the re-start of Lightroom and open the catalog, images will be at the first go in offline mode (previously used location not found). To get online, it will be necessary to re - browse the folder parent for all your image files, to reflect its new location under the new reference in car. That done, the location information of catalog for all images and subfolders located under this parent folder, automatically updated. If that parent does not appear in the list of records of LR, you right-click and choose "show Parent". Display LR then reorganizes to reflect this real hierarchy.

• Windows 7 and 8 image on external hard drive?

  Hello, I currently have a laptop running Windows 7. I also have pictures of the system on an external hard drive. My question is though, do a backup of the laptop image a family members running windows 8 will be a problem?

  I ask because I have seen recoveries to be very picky with the stuff, and I don't mean the image of Windows 8 for corrupt/crash one of my previous images of Windows 7.

  Hard disk external, I have three images of Windows 7 already, work around the fact that my recovery like replace the old image with the new by simply adding something the image of the old file name. It's the drive that I would like to ask the new image of Windows 8.

  Thank you in advance.

  I have Images of XP 2 machines and a Windows 7 machine. Did not an Image of my Windows 8 machine yet, but other work.

  The Images of XP was done with Pascale since XP has no builtin imaging application. One belongs to my daughter, the other to a friend. I just recently restored one of the XP images.

• How can I move my images on external hard drive?

  I need to create a space on my portable hard drive. How can I move my images on an external hard drive? Terrified, I'll losse them or get the dreaded...? Help!

  There is no need to be terriefied. The "dreaded"? "isn't so bad.

  The best way to go about this is:

  (1) in Lr / Grid View / files Panel (left side) put all your image files under folder of one of their parents. If this is already the case, you can skip this step. To do this, just create a new folder and name it descriptive. Then drag-and - drop your image in addition to this newly created folder files. This will make all the image files subfolders in the folder of one of their parents.

  (2) close Lr. In the Finder of Mac / Win Explorer to move the newly created parent folder (wil together all its subfolders) on external hard drive you. This is important: Do not rename the files or change the structure of folder at this point.

  (3) Lr re - open. In the files Panel, you will see the | "dreaded" "? -don't panic! Right click (i.e. click the right - as opposed to left - button you rmouse) parent folder he that you created earlier and now shows the question mark and select . Navigate to the location of the folder on your external drive parent and select it. LR will find all subfolders on its own.

  That's all there is to it.

  PS: in fact the text is not . But the procedure is the same.

• Visualization of images on external hard drive via Photos app

  Is it possible to view photos stored on an external hard drive through Photos app?  I want to use the slide show feature but don't want to import them on my mac every time I want to see photos of old (and consequently taken disk space).

  I just saw that when I import a picture in the Photos app, each image takes place twice the amount of space on my drive hard because it "copy of the original file.  Rather than using a reference library, which, according to other threads, is ill advised, I had to use an external hard drive for storing images instead.

  Photos is not a photo viewer - is a Photo Manager and deals only with photos that have been imported into its library - you can have your library on an external hard drive or a second library on an EHD or you can use a third party Slideshow software

• Moving Image plus external hard drive portable hard drive

  I am not anything change in my system.  I use windows 7 and will continue.  No change in the elements version (10).  Please give me a step by step instructions on how to move my pictures from my hard drive to an external hard drive (it won't be a return to the top) but the primary locaton for my photos.  I'll keep the program items on my computer and when I want to work on my photos or download more pictures from my camera I'll connect the external hard disk.

  My questions are to be read in your writing

  When I drag and drop my photos I look at my pictures in the elements Organizer?

  No, there are two ways to see your folders PSE11 and PSE12: I have PES 10 it would be the same?

  By default, it's point of view "my images". It shows a simple list of all the files containing the images recorded in the catalog; the entire record of the last level, without the Organization of the tree. You may have missed (like many, many users... Yes I guess I certainly missed this cause I can not find even today) the window of 'Images' you get by clicking on the little yellow icon in the title bar of "my pictures". You will see all of your folders and subfolders, all your different disks. It is very close to the Windows Explorer folder view, and you can do most of what you would do in Solution Explorer.  This 'my images' am I looking at?  In windows 7 or when I'm in post-secondary education?  If in windows 7 and I watch 'my pictures' I don't see the yellow icon in the title bar of "my pictures" I don't see such a thing in the element in the Organizer either.

  You will understand better if you take the time to play with the 'Photos' mode, where you can reduce or expand subfolders or do a right click to view 'show all files' when they are reduced.

• How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

  I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings, I applied them to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

  Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

  It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

  Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

  If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

  If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

  You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop

• Can I put some Cache bridge on the external hard drive for images in are there?

  Hello

  I'm on a MacBook Pro retina.

  While I have a 500 GB hard drive, I noticed that the bridge CS 6 cache becomes plu quickly (1 terabyte SSD impatient).

  I have most of my images on external hard drives, but Bridge CS6 cache seems to be on my computer.

  Can I keep the bridge locally cache?

  So if I have 1000 images on the hard disk, the cache for them would be on hard drive.

  And for 100 TIFFS on drive B, cache on the hard drive of B.

  And for the most recent 100 TIFF I keep on my hard disk, the cache of the bridge would be on my computer.

  It this what by checking the box next to 'automatically export Caches files when Possible' made or I am misunderstanding and this option updates only the COPY of the files on the external hard drive cache, but the cache on my computer bridge file contains still images, no matter on which hard drive, they would be?

  Yes, 100% preview can eat a lot of disk space.  If you do a lot of export of raw images on another disk outside the bridge I would ditch export the folder option.  Compact cache can help to eliminate inches with no parents, and many purge the cache from time to time to reduce the size.

• Unable to get the preview of images that are cut and pasted from desktop folder to external hard drive.

  Original title: I imported the photos of my card SD by cutting and pasting etil worked very well but when I did the same thing to the table and stuck in the external hard drive, I can't not open images as it is said no preview.

  Only this particular file does not open and you please help u to get the photos can save that a link is missing and I don't know what.

  Hi Gregory Trinidade,

  You can try to create a folder in the C: drive and copy the images on the desktop folder C: drive.  After copy in C: drive then try again copy on external hard drive and see if it works well or not.

  Make sure that you have access to the C: drive. Also instead of cut photos copy in another location.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Laptop won't start, added external hard drive. Pavilion g6, WIN 7

  Boot Manager Windows coming to the power upward with message: "Windows could not start...". Info: the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible. "No previous problems with starting, but, yesterday, I hooked up a new external hard drive (WD Passport 1 TB) to back up my entire computer.  Everything went well: formatted, partitioned the drive (500 GB), but I clicked on 'active' on one of the menus.  Remember that a single partition on a hard disk can be active and in the case of the c: / drive is the default for the MBR location, but this player is also the default location for the operating system (unless otherwise designated).  I just didn't know it would be a problem if I did an active partition on another disk entirely.  I only have WIN 7 on the machine, but I guess that the BIOS is looking for the operating system on the external hard drive (it will not start if I have the HD Ext. hung or not), is not to find a MBR or a BONE.  However, before shutting down the computer yesterday, I created an image of the system disk hard Ext. as that was my intention in the first place.  Turned off the computer and it does not restart until today, whereupon no boot, error events began.

  Never mind. Finally understood how to get to the boot menu options then to get machine to start from a
  "System repair disc" I did on the first pass the machine a couple of years. I thought that the machine should boot from it then in order after that don't is not the start of HD I had designate the CD as a boot device to make it work.

• After the last mandatory update, I noticed that foulders image in my external hard drive would be stuck. This happens often.

  After the last mandatory update to Vista, I noticed that foulders image in my external hard drive would be stuck. This happens often.

  Please fix this.

  Hi Mikepolifka,

  ؠ What updates did you install on your computer?

  Try SafeMode as the first step.

  Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly, or that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. If a problem does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. If a program recently installed, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode, and then remove the program that is causing the problem.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  You can also perform a restore of the system on your computer and check if the problem persists.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

  If it works fine after system restore you may have to manually install updates one and check the status.

  Previous post: the result.
