  I get an error at the start of the ambient light.  Windows indicates the RL has stopped working and the banner "catalogue Lightroom-opening: OYL6BMP.» LRCAT displayed?  I reinstalled LR but no change.  Anyone can shed light on this issue?

  The only effective solution is to reset the file preferences... it has been damaged by trying to create a catalog with the invalid jpeg.

  The instructions to reset the catalog are here: given to zero (or "Screw up") the preferences of Lightroom - Lightroom Forums file

  When you have done this, place you and double click on the correct catalog and LR should then start OK.

  Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

  By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

  Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

  But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

  Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

  Hope this makes things clearer.

• How the metadata change by Lightroom and another application?

  I often get the message "the metadata for this photo has been changed by Lightroom and another application. Lightroom import settings from disk or replace drive with the catalog settings? "on the images in my catalog. I only use Lightroom to organize, add keywords, basic settings, etc.. On occasions, I take a picture in Photoshop to work more, it is exported in a TIFF or PSD file and the original stays in the catalog LR blank any other thing I could do to the image.

  I have two choices with this message: settings to use Lightroom, OR crush them to disk. The first time it has scared me, as I had no idea where these changes were and why the disk file was something different that lightroom catalog. I have all my metadata stored in XMP files. But I took the chance and said: replace the LR settings and didn't change anything on the sliders or the displayed image. I then tried a little saying 'Keep the LR settings', and again, I didn't see any visible signs of changes. This leads me to believe that they are NOT changed but things LR, they are somehow. But I do not see it, I want it to go away unless there really changes happening outside of LR (as if I went to the bridge or something...)

  Any ideas why this message? I just discovered approximately 100 images in a collection of images, I sent to the Agency in stock three years ago and have not done something with them outside LR since.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Users have complained for years about the fake notifications of metadata has changed.  If you are convinced that you do not change the file itself outside LR, then choosing settings Overwrite will rewrite the metadata in the file with the metadata for catalogue and (usually) to make the fake notification disappear.

  Unfortunately, LR does not tell you the metadata fields have been changed, so that users are left flying blind.  In my opinion, Rob Cole had a plugin that will tell you the metadata for the differences between the catalog and the disk file, but its Web site has been down for a couple of weeks now.

  ManiacJoe: My guess is that Photoshop updates some fields of EXIF data in the raw, for example the "edited with the software" file field. Given that Lightroom has probably already established in this field, it gives you a warning that something has changed.

  Interesting hypothesis.  I just tested with LR 5.7.1, Photoshop CC 2014, OS X 10.10 and could not reproduce the problem.  I have exported a TIFF file to a raw file that is catalogued in the same folder as the raw, TIFF edition and changed some of its metadata in Photoshop, and saved.  LR didn't report a notification of change-a metadata.

  In general, I'd be surprised if you changed x.tif in PS, it would change all the metadata in x.cr2 or x.xmp (moderately).

• Keep the dng or CR2 files when switching from Lightroom and Photoshop.

  From Lightroom and Photoshop, how can I keep the dng or CR2 files. Now it changes the psd and when I return to Lightroom it removes options in the section of Calibration of the camera, so that while I have a choice (Adobe Standard/camera faithful), after returning from Photoshop file I have "Embedded." How can I keep the dng or CR2 files

  Adding to the good advice of Alfred - a raw file cannot be registered as the other files.

  Its only use is the basis for the creation of new files, which must be regular files, such as tiff, psd or jpg.

  When you edit a raw file in Lightroom, it does not change the file, the changes are written to the catalog.

  Optionally, save the changes in the form of metadata (xmp) sidecar files, or in the case of DNG in the file itself.

• lost my catalogs in my lightroom and backing up

  I was using lightroom and had access to all my catalogs. then he got stuck when I try to synchronize and add new photos to the existing catalog.  now, all the catelogs disappeared and he only asks me to import or export thousands and thousands of images of my original photo files that I had already imported from.  I decided to plug in my back to see if it was different and the backup cannot find the catelogs either.  Furthermore, all my photos and lr are on a separate external hard drive.  tried to look for the disk on the computer and hard and can't find it.

  now, all the catelogs disappeared

  What does that mean? How do you know they're gone?

  Please do a search using the search function of your operating system, for all files whose name ends in. LRCAT and then open each found by double-clicking on it to see if it's the catalogue with photos.

• Should I get rid of old files from Lightroom and start again?

  I messed up download in Lightroom and about half of my photos and files "is not found."  While Lightroom has been deleted when my PC was repaired, so my I just downloaded again.  I want to download correctly this time. No pictures is currently in Lightroom.

  I have the following locations of photo on my PC: my images, external hard drive (ED) 1 and (ED) 2.  All have bits of catalogues Lightroom etc (not the photo files can I open) on them.  I have a plan and want to know if it will work.

  I'll make all my photos on ED1 outside of Lightroom.  I'll remove Lightroom from my computer AND delete the "bits" containing photos of all three locations.

  I can download Lightroom again and download my pictures inside of ED1.  This way Lightroom will know where they are.

  My plan will subsequently be to download all photos of ED 1.  (How can I configure this?)   I want to set up Lightroom to backup to ED2. (How do I do this?)

  I would appreciate help as my previous attempts to solve the problem just make it worse!

  I'll make all my photos on ED1 outside of Lightroom.

  I assume that you know how to do it

  I'll remove Lightroom from my computer AND delete the "bits" containing photos of all three locations. I then download Lightroom again

  Completely useless. Open Lightroom, select file-> new catalogue and you will have an empty empty catalog to use. You must then import the ED1 photos using the Add option (MOVE or COPY, as appropriate)

  My plan will subsequently be to download all photos of ED 1.

  I guess you means importation and not download. In the import dialog box, select the option COPY and then under Destination (on the right side), you select the appropriate folder to import into on ED1.

  I want to set up Lightroom to backup to ED2. (How do I do this?)

  You can use the third-party backup software to achieve for the photos. You can use Lightroom itself to make backups of the catalog file (it is under the catalog settings).

  Alternatively, you can tell Lightroom to make copies of your photos to ED2 to import, as explained here: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/photo-video-import-options.html#back_up_photos_duri ng_import if you do this, you will still need to make regular backups of your catalog (via the option in the catalog settings) file

• Lightroom and windows10

  I upgraded my Windows 10 office a few days ago. After the update, I signed on my microsoft account and everything was all set to level. I added about 2500 files in lightroom and then I used the mobile synchronization. I backed up my images to a closed player and lightroom. A few days later, I turned on my desktop and it says that my PC has fully upgraded and gave a tutorial and all the new features. After that everything was back to normal and I open lightroom to find all my pictures have disappeared. I tried to find the catalogue but it didn't exsist anywhere. I also tried to look through the recent catalogues and nothing showed up. Where's all my images? They are also not on my Tablet?

  Hi youric,

  Search your computer for the .lrcat files that would list all Lightroom catalogs you have.

  Also, look for backup catalogs if you saved after you have used the last time.

  By default, backups are located under Pictures\Lightroom\Backups

• What is the difference between Photoshop Elements 13 Photoshop 6 of Lightroom and Photoshop CC?

  What is the difference between Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Lightroom, Lightroom and Photoshop CC?  I just bought Photoshop Lightroom (6) and low and here is Photoshop doesn't do not part of the package, which costs another $70.  I feel ripped off the coast and now will have a moment same difficult figuring out that I should have bought the package. 

  Photoshop is the large capacity, editor of pixels that makes diapers and plug-ins; ideal for graphic designers, used by many photographers.

  Photoshop Elements is a more basic version of Photoshop; often be everything as photographers really need Photoshop.

  Lightroom is a Digital Asset Manager that lists your images and enjoys a good 'image' in her Editor. The catalogue allows the non-destructive editing of your images. Often does 95% of everything which has need of a photographer.

  "Photoshop Lightroom" is the official name of Lightroom;  a bad choice by Adobe that confuses people.

  For $10 / month, the "photographer" Lightroom + Photoshop bundle is difficult to beat. Subscribe to bundle licenses you the two programs, each to be downloaded and installed separately.

  Any 'CC' appended to the name is something marketing allowing the software to talk to some of the web servers of Adobe to activate features. All software are still installed on your hard drive; all your images are always stored on your hard drive.

• I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?

  I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?

  Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

• Out of sync - Lightroom and Bridge

  I have about 550 images I shot in Raw of Canon. I launched Adobe Bridge so that I could do some universal/global changes to all images (camera profile, Balance White, contrast, brightness, clarity, etc.) in Camera Raw. After I made the changes, I launched Lightroom so that I could change the images individually. I would have the opportunity that he had to go back and forth between Lightroom and Bridge, when I don't want to make broader changes to multiple images.

  What I am now finding, is that the images are not synchronized between the two applications. I'll change several images in Bridge (Camera Raw) and then return to Lightroom, and the changes are not reflected. In Lightroom, I chose "Synchronize the folder" and it goes through the motions, but the images don't synchronize. When I go to open each image in Photoshop Lightroom & Bridge, I have still two separate images, completely different. If I open the image from the Finder, I get the Bridge version, which is the last version that I modified.

  Help!

  Thank you

  Jeff

  Before an explanation to have LR and Bridge/ACR see each and other modifications, please note that overall things, you say that you do in the ACR/bridge can be done just as easily in LR and maybe easier, using synchronization... button or settings of copy/paste and you will save yourself a lot of grief and need to be careful if forget you Bridge/ACR for massive things as much as possible as long as you use LR with the same images.

  --

  OK now to figure out how to bridge and ACR see each and other changes:

  Bridge stores the changes in an XMP sidecar, while LR stores internally and to synchronize is not always as easy as you would expect; However, if read you and write XMP from LR files manually, then you can make it work.

  First of all, make sure that your default settings for a toning and everything are identical between ACR and LR otherwise LR and ACR will use their default values for things that are not specified in the XMP files and you may have differences.

  If you do things in Bridge/ACR as a first step, it must generate XMP files that have the same name base as RAW format, but with an XMP extension.  When you import files in LR and then he will use what he sees in the XMP sidecar files to its initial settings, but then he internalizes them and what you must do something to save the changes back to the XMP files if you want to change in the bridge, once again.

  If your first step is to import the files into LR for sorting bridge know nothing about changes you make also unless you create the XMP files for the images that you have changed.

  You can either have LR automatically write changes into XMP files (a preference defines this) or you can do this manually by library / (select all) / metadata / write the changes to the files (note the S on the files if multiple files are selected which they aren't if you develop) and it's safer, anyway where LR has not caught automatically writes things for the XMP files if you did mass changes in LR.

  Once all LR changes are in the XMP files, then Bridge/ACR will see them.

  Once you are done with the Bridge/ACR, you have to do something to tell LR there is changes, to look for in the XMP files, given its prime location of changes in its internal database.  You can use a library / (select all) / metadata / change of playback of files to replace the LR settings with all that is in the XMP file.

  You must be careful with this and not clear changes in writing when you should be reading or reading when you need to write.  To solve this situation you are in, now, you have to renounce your changes in LR or bridge saying LR metadata editor to read files (replaces LR changes) or write metadata to the files (replaces bridge changes).

  In my view, that the synchronization can be used if the date in the XMP file is newer that what LR has internally, but I don't know if this still works and that someone else will have to give the definitive answer on synchronize.  I gave up using Bridge/ACR with LR long ago and just do all my mass edits in LR and just use ACR conversion in Photoshop when I use edit in Photoshop from LR.

  There are other things to know: LR write metadata to the files from the context menu of a library folder.  This is a shortcut for the production of the initial set of XMP files, but it doesn't do this for images where something changed in fact given that the file has been imported, or since the last update the XMP from LR, so you may need this thing by selecting all files and making a parent up and down something in the control panel rapid development - something like the clarity or Saturation that is not likely to be maxed out in any files you are tweaking the settings of just to make the "most recent" changes than last time.

  Hi, I want to migrate thousands of images of Aperture library 3.6 to Lightroom and when I double click on Aperture App it won't open. I'm on OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 and I keep the nearly 200 gigabytes of photos on a separate hard drive so I can get more old photos looking at the content of the package and by copying and pasting in a recovery file, but it will be painful and very long. What do you suggest me? I thought that Aperture 3.6 was supposed to open at Yosemite or El Capitan? Thank you bripoppamac44

  and when I double click on the App opening, it does not open.

  What happens, when you try that? You get an error message? If so, what error?

  Opening 3.6 works well with Yosemite 10.10.5.

  d I keep the nearly 200 gigabytes of photos on a disc hard separated so I can get more old photos looking for the content of the package and by copying and pasting in a recovery file

  What is the file system on this disk? And how the player is connected?

• Lightroom and Canon DPP 4.5

  Perfecting a new workflow for my images. I would like to import my. Raw CR2 files in lightroom unaltered, scroll and cull those I don't want to use the features of bright rooms. I find Lightroom excellent functionality and I am used to it.

  So, ideally, I would like to deal with, or have the option of treatment, in DPP rather than Lightroom raw files. I can use lightroom development module rather (will do my own experiences), but as the ability to use both Canon. I would like to make the same way I use photoshop, i.e. "change in" and have put in place for that DPP. Unfortunately, when I try to put in place, I don't get the option to send the raw (.cr2) PPD files. The only options are .jpg, .tiff, etc.. Of course DPP deals only raw files, so I'm stuck.

  Once the raw files are processed, I can refine it into Photoshop as you wish.

  If I understand now, I can shoot files in lightroom and then must open DPP separately to make my raw editing, then translate the in lightroom to backup the database and end in photoshop, if necessary. I do a lot of panos pictures of sew and this workflow seems to be a pain / redundant.

  Someone there suggestions in how to do?

  That you have discovered, a workflow using Lightroom and Canon DPP on RAW images won't be good at all. These software are not designed to work with one another (the opposite of LR and Photoshop, which are designed to work together).

  So, since you asked for suggestions, my suggestion is not what you want to hear, but nevertheless it is my suggestion: don't do this. Do all the work in LR, or all the work in the DPP, but not a combination of both. You will save a huge amount of time and frustration.
