Advice on the right set up and save

I used Lr (3) on my macbook, store all of my photos here.  I backup with time machine, an external drive (z) and the use of Carbonite. It worked for me, but I'm running out of internal storage on my macbook.

I just upgraded to Lr 6 on my macbook (2015) and will move my photos to a new external hard drive (a), backup on a disk 9 (b) and will use CrashPlan in the cloud.  I'm a kind of belt and Suspenders of guys.

I could really use advice on how to implement.  My thought is: Lr on macbook, photos on (a), time machine MacBook & (a) (b) and backup (one) & macbook with CrashPlan.  But I don't know if this is optimal.

I am a purely weekend beginning photographer - ease of use is enough Hi on the wish list.

I have little doubt there is a thread or a document which could guide me how to better implement, so forgive my inability to locate and please point me in the right direction.

You probably know that when Lightroom is performing a backup is backup only the catalog and catalog is just the database. You are left to your own discretion on how you need to save your image files. It seems to me that you have created a good strategy. I'm not familiar with the backup software that you are using. I heard of this, but have not used. I think that as long as you are sure that you have a good backup of your images and let Lightroom backup catalog on a basis regular then you should be in good shape.

    Well, in general JPEG format does not support several concept as a document page. Thus, each image in the JPEG file is saved in a single file. If you are considering of reduction of 2 images in 1 paper size (example: A4), you may need some image editor to do

  • How can I quickly set up and save different views in the develop module?

    Is there a method to switch quicky custom views (including my favorite selections for panels, toolbars, window and Info Overlay bars)?

    In the module 'Development', I would like to move quickly from a psychic (1) all signs, etc. (2) see only my image and the right panel.  There must be a procedure that is better than what I'm doing now (please don't laugh).  I use about six strikes as shown below:

    (a) disable top left and low panels by clicking on each individually,

    (b) press the "t" key to turn off the toolbar,

    (c) the 'f' key to turn off the window two high bars and low bar, and

    d press the combination of keys [Ctrl-i] to disable the overlay of information.

    At other times in the module 'Development', I use about six strikes to turn back on all these hidden objects!

    I use "Lightroom 2.5" with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You can cut three clicks and two strikes. For all open and displayed, do the following:

    1. Press Ctrl + Shift + F (the shortcut to view > screen Mode > full screen and hide panels).
    2. Press o to hide the toolbar.
    3. Press Ctrl - I disable the Overlay of Info.
    4. Press F8 to turn on the right panel.

    Yes, it's always a pain, but at least it's a little less effort.

    I make very heavy use of the shortcuts F5 - F8 for panels. These are listed for you under window > panels and are much faster than trying to hit the narrow areas of target with the mouse. I use (left panels) of F7 and F8 (right panels) a lot.

    In addition, it is useless really the top panel much if you learn the shortcuts for switching modules, as listed at the bottom of the menu window.

  • Problem with the difficulty of opening the old tabs settings and save files when a new session is opened

    Hello
    Since 2 weeks I have a problem: I always set my settings to restore the previous session with all my tabs and I choose that Firefox asks me where I want to save my downloaded files. Now, every time I close Firefox and I open it again, it is not taken into account and 3 tabs are opened: Firefox, Google, and thanks to install Zotero! I spare it, but every time it opens these tabs and not man. Ditto for saving the files. It goes back automatically to open the start page and save my file in the downloads. Even if I spare, it's the same.
    I've desinstalled CCleaner (I thought it might be that), but nothing changes!
    Help, please. Thank you very much!
    Martha

    Here's what I'll try:

    • Reset Firefox - that should solve the problem, but it will change the settings like where files are downloaded and what tabs open at startup back to their default values.
    • Then change your download and back session restore preferences to how you like them.

    Here's how:

    1. Go to help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.
    5. Open the window of options - tools > Options > general
    6. In the general Panel set Firefox to open your tabs from last time and set Firefox to ask you where to save downloads.
    7. Click OK

    That should do it. Let me know if it worked.

    Thank you

  • The cloud, mobile phones and save automatically.

    Hi all

    Bit of a mash of questions here so please bear with me.

    First part of my question is about 'cloud' for storage.  I'm a designer and I've never used the cloud / all cloud for storage as I always have just saved on my hard drive.  Of course, this has its limits and is not at all afraid (except perhaps not being able to access the cloud but hard drives can fail too).  People use the cloud as their main storage medium for their records?  I wonder if there is a way that when I save my work on my computer it could automatically save in the cloud (perhaps overnight auto update?) Or the other way around, I save to the cloud, then it downloads on my computer?

    Second part of my question is regards to mobile phones and outlook, which I know is not a matter of CC but I wanted opinion techno that I'm not very aware of the tech stuff.  In September, ends my mobile contract.  For now, I can get my emails on my phone (iphone 5 s) but I don't know how (or if possible) to set up my schedule so it is all synchronized with outlook.  My emails with Gmail via outlook on my pc running.  My question is: what is the best phone / implemented to reach my emails etc being synced calendars?

    Thank you!

  • Help open the levels dialog box and save the entered settings.

    Hey,.

    I'm trying to work out how to save the applied middle, whitepoint ect to a variable after the levels dialog box was called from javascript?

    I am writing a script that allows you to adjust the levels on a single image, and then I have to repeatedly apply these settings on a batch of images specified.

    Is this possible? I figured out how to open and apply the levels but not to save the entered settings.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    I use photoshop cs6 on a mac.

    Thank you

    Mark

    Sorry Paul, but I think that you're wrong. The 'adjustment' list should have descriptions for each channel that has been set by the user. These descriptors must have the key for the channel as a referencetype, b/w in a list entry points, exit points black and white as a list and as a double gamma. I think that if these aren't in the descriptor, it is because the user has not changed the default values.

    But what if all you want to do is reapply the same settings later that you don't really need to know what setting were. You simply store the descriptor that contains for later use.

    function newLevels() {
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref1 = new ActionReference();
    ref1.putClass( charIDToTypeID('AdjL') );
    desc2.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref1 );
    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc4.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('presetKind'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindType'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindDefault') );
    desc3.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Type'), charIDToTypeID('Lvls'), desc4 );
    desc2.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), charIDToTypeID('AdjL'), desc3 );
    return executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc2, DialogModes.ALL );
    };
    // store the descriptor holding the users values for later
    var newLevelsDesc = newLevels();
    // do something else like open another image
    // then when needed make a new adjustment layer using those settings
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), newLevelsDesc, DialogModes.NO );

  • How can I change the characters in Oracle 11 GR 2 Express AL32UTF8 to UTF - 8 (OS: Windows2008R2) is currently the NLS_CHARACTERSET setting = AL32UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16?

    I installed Oracle Express 11 GR 2 software that created the database of the parameter "NLS_CHARACTERSET" AL32UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16 value XE.

    This database must be used with a character encoding application which usues UTF8 and requires database Oracle support UTF8.

    I need to change the setting of NLS_CHARACTERSET and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET parameters to comply with the requirement of the application?

    If yes how to change these settings to support UTF8?

    Thank you very much, Sergiusz.

    That's pretty conclusive. I confirm this also with the seller.

    Hi guys,.

    When you type information in a form in the DC or Pro Player I can enter text with fields of text etc and then save, close and return later to change the form. However once I use the function "Fill & Sign" to sign the document, and then save, it locks the file and all other fields become editable. Is there a way around this to remove this feature where it becomes locked and instead allows me to change the form after a signature is applied and saved. All the security properties of the form are on 'admitted', there is no restriction. Even though the document is locked all the properties remain still as 'authorized '.

    The signing is FINAL.  You cannot sign a PDF paper advance. Complete and save, do not sign.

  • Menu bar moves to the right in IE6 and IE7

    Hello, my name is Stephen and a site I worked on is having problems of compatibility with IE6 and IE7. It could very well have problems of compatibility with other browsers as well, but I work in newer versions of IE, Mozilla, Safari, and Chrome.

    My problem is that the navigation at the top of my screen bar moves to the right, off the page, when there should be balance.

    I use Dreamweaver CS5.

    The Web site can be found at http://www.dremata.com

    It is currently under construction, but you should be able to see the line menu bar.

    Here is a screenshot of the page rendered in IE7, with the wrong menu bar on the right:

    menubar-off.jpg

    And behold, it is correctly aligned in IE8:

    menubar-correct.jpg

    Below, I've posted my CSS and welcome, opinions, critical and all your comments. My knowledge on HTML, CSS and using Dreamweaver is incredibly limited. All that I know is a mixture of self-taught and a course I took in high school. I try to learn as much as I can, so don't hold back. I have tried countless hours to get this menu bar for centering in IE6 and 7 and have applied the techniques I've read on (something hasLayout and floats compensation), but nothing helped. It is too frustrating to work more, so I hope someone can help me, lol.

    Add clear: both; in the .menubar css selector.

    HOWEVER, although that will position your navigation inside your page it will still not be rendered exactly the same in IE6 IE7 & as in Firefox, Safari, etc.

    Thick cross-browser I would revise the css for the .menubar .menubar ul, li and css anchor as below (is there no need to use the star or underscore hacks as long)

    {.menubar}
    Width: 960px;
    Clear: both;
    }
    . MenuBar ul {}
    Width: 960px;
    list-style-type: none;
