Default folder for RAW files

Hello world


using lightroom 2 on Mac I would like to know ho to choose the folder where to put imported raw folder. At the present time, the raw files are stored inside the folder of images, divided by year.

I would like to move this folder to another job (maybe on an external device), but I wasn't able to figure out how.

Can someone help me with this problem?

Bye!

  1. In the Finder, copy your folder on the external drive.
  2. Open Lightroom. The records are now missing.
  3. Right-click on the top level in Lightroom folder, click Update folder location and that it points to the new location on the disk of the post.
  4. Repeat the step for each top-level folder, if you have a lot.

When you import new files, select the new location in the import dialog box.

  • How to set the PS CC as default application for RAW Mac files.

    What is happening on my Nikon and my Fuji SLR. All of a sudden it will not open in Photoshop CC. It is opening in Photoshop Elements, which is also in my Mac. I want to change it back so that when I click on a RAW file, it opens automatically in PS CC instead of elements. I can click on OPEN WITH and click on CC PS to open it, but I don't want to have to do this extra step.

    You need Adobe raw camera 8.7 version. Unfortunately your software is earlier than the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG Converter to convert your raw files to the universal Raw format files and Adobe will be open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the software of the camera factory)

    Download Windows (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7

    Download Mac (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7

    You can convert an entire folder of images raw with a single click. See this quick video tutorial:

    Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for RAW files. I have 8.7 DNG, but I was wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon thanks for all the tips

    Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the last version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 Novemder 18 2014.

    New updates for LR 4 were arrested when LR 5 was released on June 9, 2013. No other updates of bug fixes and new camera support.

    Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced on the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was arrested.

    You can use the Adobe DNG (free download for packing) program to convert your Nikon D750 Nef (raw) files in Adobe's DNG format which will allow you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow the processing of raw files with versions out-of-date LR and ACR.

    You can also update the ACR for PS CS6 version 8.7 plugin that can also work with the raw files of the D750. For direct support in Lightroom, you will need to upgrade (paying) to version 5.7.

  • Make the default program of lightroom for raw files

    I bought Lightroom 5 after the expiry of the trial version.  (I think that the version was 5.2, not sure.)  I had the real DVD with the activation code on the box.

    Current operating system is Windows 7.

    At first, I ran the internet updates (had a little trouble with the opening of DVD) and it loaded version 5.5, and I used the activation code.  Everything was fine, but when I try to open a raw (Sony/.arw extension) file, it gives me the possibility to use Lightroom as default program for this action.  He doesn't show any program, and when I go to browse and select it, it will always come to the top.

    So, I uninstalled everything, rebooted etc., then load the DVD and the DVD got to work this time.  Again, I think that the 5.2 version came.  A to assign .arw files to Lightroom and - no problem.  Lightroom is presented as a program, as it had not before.  I then ran the update again to 5.5, and I'm running in exactly the same thing, where I can't fix LR as default.  Maybe the registry is not fair?  He just sees is more like a program in the option 'Open with' Lightroom (when I reinstalled, it wiped out the 'open with LR' I had attached the files.)  I can open Lightroom itself very well, but I can not simply by clicking on a raw file and open it.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem and why the earlier version was correct, but the update wiped out the 'Open with' option?

    Thank you

    Carmen

    It is very common that LR should open pictures.

    What happens is that LR opens LR catalogs, not images.  The images are imported after that LR started upward.  You can double-click a LR catalog, a .lrcat, a file, or you can drag - move a file of LR catalog on LR icon and either will open LR, but that's all.  If you have already opened an image with LR it would hang and be hard to fix.

    I think maybe LR 1.x would automatically import images if you dragged their make, but which closed several versions ago.

    LR can also be set to open when you insert a memory card, via a checkbox in the preferences.

    You can also open LR via a shortcut, and then drag and drop a folder on the area of the main image in library mode and which will initiate an import.  It's actually what I'm doing for each import.

  • Cannot find the default folder named temporary file where downloads get automatally sent to download.

    I have an acer aspire one.  It stops on its own and won't stay on.  Sometimes it turns on but the screen does not do anything, but the backlight.  I'm on the view of web acer and found my exact problem.  I need to load the BIOS update and install it.  I tried to doload, but the file went in a folder called temporary files automatically.  I can't find temporary file anywhere to open the BIOS download. can someone tell me where is hid it temporary file that Vista uses to default downloads?
    my name is tom.  Thank you

    There is no default location for downloads - usually the location is selected when you click on the "Save" button and then you know exactly where it is.  I guess because you know the name of the file you downloaded.  We will do a COMPLETE system for the file search and then we'll find out where he went.  If it does not find the file, then download has failed and should be tried again (this time trying to pick the location where it will be saved).

    To search for the folder C: whole disk in Vista go to start / search and type in ' or '. As you type, you'll see two hyperlinks appear just above where you type and we'll search everywhere.  A click on it.  Who will do a fast indexed search and bring up a dialog box.  Click on advanced search.  Click the drop-down location and find the C: drive and click on it. Check the box "include not indexed, hidden and system files (might be slow).»  Then click on search.  You will now search your entire hard drive to the specified file.  And Yes, this isn't a very effective way to search the entire disk for a file but it is how it is done in Vista.

    If this does not work, then try to search for temporary files (you are of course on the name - it doesn't seem right to me) which is probably the name of the folder where it was sent using the same process as above and see if you can find it.  If more than one rises, see each one until you find your file.  If it is through Internet Explorer, and then see the following for the location (although I am not sure if this is the place for which you're searchinng): http://www.milincorporated.com/a2-temporary-internet-files.html.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi guys

    I found the solution to your problem.

    The problem is that Illustrator CS6 and CC is using the same name 'Illustrator' so when you go for example CC folder and choose windows illustrator.exe already sees Illustrator was added and just jump back to the same screen.

    If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 \Support Files\Contents\Windows (64-bit), you will see the name of the file (illustrator.exe)

    If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC (64 Bit) \Support Files\Contents\Windows you will see the name of the file (illustrator.exe)

    If you change the file illustrator.exe for CS6 or CC for example IllustratorCC.exe for the record CC

    Change the names of these for example

    If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6 \Support Files\Contents\Windows (64-bit), you will see the name of the file (illustratorCS6.exe)

    If you look in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC (64 Bit) \Support Files\Contents\Windows you will see the name of the file (illustratorCC.exe)

    Then, you will be able to add them to the list of associated files.

    You can do this for all applications from Photoshop, first, AE, etc, are all the same

    Hope this helps

    Thank you

  • create a default value for the file types

    I created a new site and is a kind of ColdFusion document.

    Dreamweaver creates ever new htm file when I right click on the folder of the site to create a new file for the site.

    I wonder what's possible to leave Dreamweaver to set the default file type.

    For example, Dreamweaver can create cfm for ColdFusion site files and php for PHP site.

    Your information and help is much appreciated,

    Kind regards

    Iccsi,

    I don't know what version of DW, you have, but in CS6 preferences panel allows you to specify the default document type and file extension for all new files that you create in DW.   This does not affect your existing website files.  Only for new.

    To edit existing documents, go to modify > Page Properties > title/encoding.

    Now, if you are working on several sites with the requirements of the other script, you can specify the type of page to create by clicking file > New > blank page > choose a page type.

    This help you?

  • Bridge CS5 applies wrong white balance during extraction of thumbnails (only for raw files)

    Hello to all the assistants of Adobe,

    Photographer welder here. I use a Canon T2i and I've been shooting raw with automatic white balance.

    After I downloaded the CR2 files to the bridge, bridge starts thumbnail extraction. It is then that the problem begins: I watch bridge thumbnail extraction photo after photo, turning them into white balance bad one by one. After the bridge is done, I open one of these photos in Camera Raw, it shows the picture in the "custom white balance". I could go back to "As Shot". But now, each Bridge photo has custom white balance and is difficult to bridge. This screenshot shows what looks like my bridge after thumbnail extraction...Screen shot 2011-04-22 at 12.25.07 PM.png

    Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I took a few photos with the settings of the different on the camera white balance. I downloaded their bridge and bridge too wrote all the white balance settings. Then I imported the same pictures (from the same files) to iPhoto, they appear with writing correct balance. Please see the second screenshot.Screen shot 2011-04-22 at 12.05.38 PM.png

    The third screenshot shows a unique photo that I opened the bridge to Camera Raw and the same photo, as it appears in iPhoto, the original two.

    Screen shot 2011-04-22 at 12.16.09 PM.png

    Again, this only happens to CR2 files. All TIF, jpeg files are fine.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Any ideas?

    First of all, taken of view Raw has the advantage of the evolution of the color temperature (balance of Pentecost) to what ever you like everything you shot in camera.

    It seems once you have registered a custom default setting white balance and it is applied to each new file because you said bridge to do. The best way out of this is to open a raw file in ACR and the basic right tab you see a small icon (next to the base word) submenu. Click on it and the line select "Reset Camera Raw defaults" downstairs.

    Also decide if you want to stay in 16-bit mode (you're now as shown in the blue line under the preview). If you want the chance it to 8 bits, just click on this blue line and choose your options in this menu. Just do it once for that same camera files, ACR remembers the settings for you.

    Using 16-bit mode has advantages when the color corrections using critical (but you should also replace the ProPhoto color mode in my opinion). The downside is that the 16 bit doubles compared to 8-bit file size

    Having put default ACR should immediately make your thumbs by building of new inches and previews, but if not, you must choose purge the cache for the file from the menu Tools / cache / purge the cache for the file. Now the new settings will apply.

    It may take a while so let bridge do its job properly before starting other jobs in bridge (see the activity bar downstairs left to check if the bridge is still cached).
