• Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

  How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

  I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

  I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

  I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

  I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

  There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

  My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

  Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

  This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

• My lightroom cc say lightroom 5 backup and not cc lightroom catalog files is a problem

  I bought a new computer and am looking to move my backup files in lightroomcc when I went to the file it has the correct date of the last backup, but said it's lightroom 5 not lightroom cc is a problem?

  She already has. CC/LR6 will not open a catalog LR 5 without first making a copy of the catalogue LR 5 and convert that copy to a CC/6 LR catalog.

  You has not bothered to answer the question I posed. Make your backups have a. (DOT) ZIP file (or .zip) extension? If they do they are backups LR CC/6.

  But you don't need a backup to load the catalog on another computer. Just copy the catalog file of work as well as the Previews.lrdata folder on the new computer and when you install LR if it is not automatically see this catalogue copied, you go into file > open catalog and point it to the copy on catalog from your old computer.

• Can I synchronize Lightroom catalog on iMac and Macbook with creative cloud?

  I have an iMac and a Macbook and I want to know if I can synchronize the catalog to both computers. This way I can mark images on my laptop. Any ideas?

  You can only sync via creative Cloud to an iPad, iPhone or Android device. But you can export a catlog for the Macbook to combine with a master catalog on the iMac.

• Why is not synchronize Lightroom CC more after the upgrade?

  Hello

  I recently upgraded to Lightroom and since no photos to sync to the cloud. It says on the desktop app 'x Sync photos' but nothing ends on the cloud or mobile devices (Android). I can see the names of collection, but not photos. I followed the various Councils of deleting file of data synchronization and data to mobile devices, but without success. Before the upgrade everything worked well. Can anyone help?

  Could you please send me a journal diagnostig Desktop LR - better as a private message with a downloadable dropbox link.

  You can trigger the newspaper through Desktop LR-Mobile with Lightroom > preferences, and when you hold down the ALT key, you will notice a diagnostic log button to generate

  This problem occurs when you are connected via ethernet or wifi? BTW. Does the job of synchronization for your with an earlier version of Lightroom?

• External drive has a different drive letter now, he does not see Lightroom Catalog.

  The problem started when I plugged an additional external USB key. The drive that I use for my photos was labeled F:, now G: is labeled, even after you remove the extra disc of installation. The catalog in LIghtroom is still pointing on F:, which currently doesn't "exist". The physical drive is fine - Windows Explorer sees all files. I see two approaches to solve this, neither one of which I know how to do: (1) reallocate the letter F; at the promenade repoint (2) catalogue to G:.

  Any contribution welcome!

  Thank you

  Chris

  Those are the two choices.

  To change the drive letter, go to Google and type in

  change the Windows drive letter

  To change if Lightroom finds the photos, see Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

• Virtual copies are not synchronized in a second Lightroom Catalog even if the metadata are written in XMP and synchronization with the metadata has been selected

  Dear community,

  I use a Mac with 5.7 of Lightroom which is configured to store all the metadata in the xmp files. The Lightroom Catalog is stored locally on the Mac and contains only references to images and their xmp files that are stored on a network device. There is another Mac with the same setup with a local separate Lightroom Catalog and access to the same images on the network device.

  At a starting point, the two Lightroom catalogs are identical - they refer to the same images on the network device and contain the same metadata.

  When I update the properties of the image on the first Mac, these changes are reflected in the xmp file. After using the option 'synchronize' with activated "metadata synchronization" on the second Mac, the modified image properties are visible on the second Mac. It is very good.

  However, when I create a virtual copy on the first Mac, I realize that the corresponding xmp file is updated. However, even after the synchronization, the virtual copy is not visible on the second Mac. I can change the properties of the image of the original image and get these changes replicated to the second Mac, but the virtual copies remain the first Mac.

  What should I do also virtual copies get synchronized?

  Thank you very mich for your support.

  Best regards

  Peter

  However, when I create a virtual copy on the first Mac, I realize that the corresponding xmp file is updated.

  As far as I know, xmp does not contain information about the virtual copies. If this method to attempt to synchronize two catalogs will not work.

  Better you should use the file-> Export catalog on a single computer and then file-> import from another catalog on another computer.

• Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

  Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

  I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

  Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

  I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

  I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

  The catalog would have another name or extension?

  I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

  Help!

  HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

  And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

• Lightroom can't use the catalog named 5 because lightroom catalog that it is not writable and cannot be opened

  Help, please!

  I've been struggling for hours to open lightroom. My computer turns off without reason, and then I went back into the light room and had the following startup message:

  Lightroom can't use the lightroom catalog 5 catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

  I tried everything I can. I searched online and you have deleted the files of 'locking' of the catalogue record. I did what is obvious and just rebooted. I checked the 'permissions' and nothing has worked. Help, please. I JUST finished images edited in 1000 and I need to export. I won't cry if I need to change their brand new

  In your OS, the folder that contains your catalog must have read & write permission.

  If you think that you already have, we show a screenshot so that we can see in the Explorer Windows/Mac Finder folder that contains the catalog file; and show us an another screen shot of the permissions on this folder.

  Also, please check the catalog file in your operating system to ensure that it is not set read-only.

• My Lightroom does not. It is showing the message - failed to open the Lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. You want to select a different catalog?

  My Lightroom does not. It is showing the message - failed to open the Lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. You want to select a different catalog?

  It is a catalog that you created on your computer, or coming from another computer?

  If it is one that has been created on your computer, you can search your computer to see if you have two different versions of Lightroom installed. If so, then you want to open the new version of Lightroom by double-clicking its icon, and then you should be able to open the catalog.

• My mobile lightroom will not synchronize.

  My mobile lightroom will not synchronize. Repeat me test expired. How can I tell what I am a subscriber of photo program?

  Hi Keith,

  You will need to connect to LR Mobile with the same Adobe ID associated with your subscription. If you are already connected to this ID, try to connect and signing back in.

• Lighroom opens with a window telling me that the "Lightroom Catalog" is already open is not possible since I just restarted my computer?

  Lightroom opens suddenly with a message "you already have open Lightroom Catalog. Close the other version of Lightroom? Never happened before, and master windows task says I have no other lighroom open?

  The message says that you have an open CATALOG.

  What this means, is that the last time you used Lightroom you don't close properly Lightroom and he left the CATALOGUE in a State "locked."  Maybe the computer crashed, or you just turned off?

  The fix-

  First - find out where your catalog is stored.

  Open the Explorer/finder on your site CATALOG and delete the file that has a name that ends in "... lrcat.lock."

  Do not delete anything! Do NOT delete the file ending by "... lrcat ' (i.e. your catalogue with all your work!)

  Then restart lightroom.

  

  The .lock file is a temporary file that is always created when you open a catalog with Lightroom, to prevent several users the same catalog to open at the same time.

  Questions 1)

  Not because the LRDATA file is fair previews, what LR displays on your screen for a faster loading of the image and will be recreated. The previews only stored in the folder LRDATA is the basic overview created at time of importation for the display of thumbnails and previews of 1:1 for images that you have actually looked in the Loupe View or I guess that appears in the develop module.

  He get all the data to create the image themselves file extracts.

  If you have several files on your system that have pictures in them and you select one of them that you have not looked at in a while, you will notice LR creation of previews for these images, there will be 3 white dots in the upper right corner of the thumbnail. It's LR creation of previews for the thumbnail view. If you scroll quickly in the grid view, you'll notice a few thumbnails of images are gray, until you stop scrolling, then the upper left tile will come in clear view and the white dots will appear on the other images. It's LR creating previews for those of other images. Once LR created the preview of thumbnails that are on your screen, white spot will disappear. If you scroll down again, you will see more white dots

  If you switch to another folder that LR begins again create preview images in this folder. The total number of previews created and stored based on caching of the preview you have in the catalog settings dialog in the management of the files tab.

  If not, you need not the LR Previews.lrdata folder. Whenever LR is not very good this folder with a catalog he recreates it to store previews in.

  

• JPEG import is not in the catalog, Lightroom 5.7.1

  I am unable to get JPEG files for import into my Lightroom 5 catalog.  RAW and TIFF files appear in the window import and loading in the catalog.  JPEG files do not even appear in the Lightroom Import window.  I can open JPEGs in Photoshop.  JPEG files are fine, but they won't matter in the Lightroom Catalog.  What is the solution?

  Access your Lightroom preferences, general tab, import options. Make sure that the box is checked to process JPEG images next to raw separate image files.
