Creating a picture library

I have two fairly simple questions.

First of all, I work on a Mac, and I'm subscribed to Adobe Creative Suite. I have several Web sites, focusing on a variety of topics. A site focuses on biology, which means that I'll eventually need images of thousands of plant and animal species. There will be a lot of work.

I need a software that allows me to organize the images into categories and subcategories, like this...

Animals

> Mammals (Mammalia)

> > Carnivores (Carnivora)

> > > Cats (Felidae)

> > > > Lynx

Suppose I find thirteen images of the Lynx that I would add to my library. I care about them with a variety of tags and notes - the source, author status annotate, permissions that I got to use against them, in black and white color, etc..

I started working on such a project a few years ago using Aperture, but I came across some kind of anomaly. I don't remember even more what happened, but I'm trying to decide if I should start again with Aperture or switch to another program. So my first question is kind of stupid, but if I go with Adobe, should I choose Lightroom or bridge?

The reason why I ask is that someone told me that bridge is actually better suited to this project than Lightroom.

Second question: import thousands of images in any program will translate into one helluva size large file. How people face this problem? I thought to create thumbnails of my images and import those instead. Each image would then be annotated with the path to the original, so I can easily get a larger image.

Rather than creating a huge biology library, I'll probably break down in mammals, birds, etc.

Thanks for the tips.

According to a lot of factors that you have not addressed, Lightroom or bridge can be the best tool. In fact, you could easily do this in your operating system.

However, since this is a forum for Lightroom and I'm a little biased, I would say that Lightroom is the best tool, he made more than things, and it makes them better than the bridge... and you can actually buy bridge by itself. But you may not have all of the tools that provides Lightroom.

The pictures are not stored in Lightroom. They are stored on your hard drive, somewhere, in the place you put or in the place where instruct you Ligthroom to put them. The Lightroom Catalog size should not be a problem.

I thought to create thumbnails of my images and import those instead.

Do not do this. Lightroom does it for you in the background. As I said, the pictures are not stored in Lightroom.

Rather than creating a huge biology library, I'll probably break down in mammals, birds, etc.

Big mistake. Simplify your life. Use a single catalog. Lightroom can handle it.

  • Pictures 'library of repair' Dungeon on alternate user logon

    just upgraded to 10.7.5 to El Capitan 10.11.2. For the most part works very well except for the pictures.

    Photos updated since iPhoto ok but now have a problem. My partner and I have a Word to say to login, UserA & the UserB.

    If UserA connects and starts the Photos they get the process 'fix the library' passing, this completes Ok and then UserA can start and stop Photos without problem. When UserB later connects and starts the Photos they get the process 'fix the library' passing, this completes Ok and then UserB can start/stop Photos without problem.

    If UserA connects then they get again the process of "repair of library". and so on, each time that the user logged in alternates.

    tried repair permissions (Apple and TechTool apps) but then they seem to work, they don't get rid of the problem.

    have also tried to create Photos new library with the subset of our photos, but same problem happened.

    Anyone got clues?

    Otherwise it's back to 10.7.5!

    Where is the library? IN a shared folder? It must be on an external drive that is set to ignore the ownership and permissions.

  • I created a new library of more new playlists but cannot find the Library.xml file

    Hello

    I'm going to re - build my iTunes files from scratch, a kind of decennial event 'spring clean '. I have created a new library by using the command, click on application startup, and then began to rebuild new reading lists in the application. I can see the folder newly created the library that contains the new "iTunes Library.itl" file BUT I don't see that the iTunes Music Library.xml file. " There certainly must be one to save the data of the playlist, and probably "Get Info" should reflect today date' today... I don't see older versions.

    Although everything seems to work perfectly I don't want to have to re - visit the construction of Playlists from scratch for the next ten years! Can anyone suggest what happened to the .xml file?

    Thanks and greetings

    You can create an .xml on iTunes/file/library/Export library file and gives you the opportunity to put the Library.xml file in your iTunes Media folder - or anywhere you like.

    If you need to rebuild your playlists, you can go to iTunes, file, library, import playlist and select the .xml file.

    Normally, you do not see the .xml file in your iTunes folder.

  • I need to create a second library for locations other than itunes music files?

    Mac book air with library itnes. Should high resolution I create a second library of music to not get data via itunes without loss to music downloads?

    I don't understand this. Downloads of the place where? Apple provides no music in Apple Lossless format. You can store all the files in a compatible format in the library, it's just that you can end up with multiple copies, each one representing the different format, unless you remove other versions or you do something fancy with smart playlists.

  • Delete all files in the pictures library, the app still occupies the same space

    An attempt to free up storage space, I exported all my photos and then deleted within the app (Image-> remove all). However the Finder shows that pictures library takes up the same amount of space as before I deleted my pictures.

    How can I make sure that everything is deleted and I get my free space?

  • If I try to print pictures from the picture library, they all come out in grayscale.

    HP PSC2355 All In One

    This printer has recently been attached to my new computer, HP 2MD2190CLF.

    Running Windows 7, 64-bit

    Settings are the same on the printer, as they were for old PC (XP) and laptop (Vista), that he was hooked up to.

    out in color, photos printed color print of the webcam webcams. Put the webcam image in the picture library

    and try to print grayscale. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    The application that prints photos in the photo library maintains its own set of settings of the printer, separate from what can be defined elsewhere.  Select a photo, click on print and then click on 'options' in the bottom right.  From there you should be able to select the appropriate paper type and color printing.

  • When I open the picture library, then my pictures and scroll to a folder or an image, the view scrolls upward automatically

    I have a Dell Inspiron 580 running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    When I open the picture library, then my images and made scroll to a folder or an image I want to view or work with, the animated icon is displayed and then scrolls upward automatically.  This also happens when I open a file; When I scroll down in a folder, I'm automatically referred to the top row of thumbnails.

    I tried to use two mouse different and convenience store says that mice work properly.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I suspect some kind of image synchronization software here at work. Disruptions could come from some refreshment paging that completes a cycle of enumeration of images in a folder.

    Image utilities 'helper' camera, printer or a third party may be the cause. A review of processes that start automatically when you start the computer would be the first step. While looking into MSCONFIG, startup can provide a preliminary list, the most complete list of programs or services that initiate at startup is AutoRuns from SysInternals.
