Dragging images from a Smart Collection in a regular Collection

Before the introduction of LR3, I worked regularly images in a Smart Collection. then I dragged the selected images in a regular Collection for final treatment. I've now upgraded to LR3.2. After the move, the 'Smart' key word has been changed, automatically eliminating the image of the Smart Collection. Now, LR3, I seem not to be able to do that, can't find any permutation of the shift, Alt, or Ctrl keys. In fact I can't 'drag & drop' images of library in any Collection! Why Adobe has removed such a simple but useful device without apparent alternatives available? Has anyone found a simple way to do this?

Thank you.

I don't think that Adobe has changed anything here. Unfortunately, little has been done with the collections and smart collections between versions 2 and 3.

My guess is that you drag the box around the thumbnail. Make sure that you drag the thumbnail itself.

  • How to copy files from a smart collection on a regular?

    In Lightroom CC I want to sync photos to the cloud.  Since Lightroom only synchronize smart collections, I created a regular collection.

    Following the instructions, I selected all and trained to the new regular collection.  But they don't hang around.

    I can drag a photo and I get the blue highlight on the collection.  But as soon as I select 2 or more when I drag the blue highlighting disappears...

    When you go to slide images, make sure you click on the thumbnail and not the gray frame.

  • Backup of a series of images (from a smart camera) in an AVI file

    Hello

    I have a setup of laboratory in which display us deflections of brain cells in a plate well after be pressurized with air of 50ms. I have a smart camera attached to a card PCI IMAQ to acquire images.

    I'm saving the series of images in an avi file, so that I can show deviations in a slow video.

    The way I put it in place at the present time takes an image and stores it in an avi pre-existing (some .avi randomly that I didn't need) format. But here are a few problems:

    1. I would like for the VI create a NEW .avi, rather that saving it in a pre-existing.

    2. now, each image replaces just the previous in the avi file. Avi resulting is a film length of 00:00 with one image (the last frame saw the camera).

    I have what I programmed attachment. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Never mind, resolved. Simply put the Acquisition of Vision in the smaller loop.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 allow me to drag images from a folder to my painting?

    When I try I get a circle with a diagonal line through it, as well as the only way that I am able to get images in Photoshop is by clicking on file, then open that is really annoying a waste of time.

    Have you tried to reset your preferences? If everything worked before, maybe something has been corrupted and maybe it's worth it.

  • I'm totally confused about records, collections and smart collections.

    I am a complete newbie to Lr so please forgive what are fundamental questions without doubt!

    In records, I have 2 folders - Annecy and Aix which have different vacation photos.

    In Collections, under smart Collections, I have a folder named Aix which has my pictures of Aix and that is synchronized to Lr on my ipad.  However, although Annecy is listed under Collections, it is in a folder at the top of a new tree under smart Collections but does not part of smart Collections.  I hope that makes sense!  This issue of Annecy does contain pictures, and the only thing being synchronized on ipad is the name of the folder.  How can I copy photos from the folder in the folders in the Collections folder?

    I read that peaks must be in the Collections before they can be synchronized.  However, on the ipad there is that a folder named "Pictures Lightroom" it contains 242, the same as "all photographs synchronized" under the heading catalog when Lr appears on my desktop.  At present, I am initially upload my pictures in my office and then import to the RL.

    Finally, about mobile Lr in response to a previous johnreliis investigation informed that I must ensure that I am connected to creative cloud on the ipad before being able to view synchronized + photos on the ipad.  I downloaded Lr mobile on the Apple store and have nothing to CC on the ipad.  Now, I wonder if the reason that the pictures of Annecy are not displayed on the ipad is due to the fact that, at the present time, they are not in a Collection.

    Thanks in advance for all you can give me advice.

    Just drag Annecy out of smart Collections and next to Aix.

    What is called "smart Collections" is actually a Collection Set - that is a container for other regular or silent collections (like your Aix) and smart collections which include images of criteria that you define. Notice how "Smart Collections of" has a different icon from the smart collections inside, looking more like a box. So what you could do then is to create a set of Collection called France and drag Annecy and Aix in it.

    To get the pictures in the Annecy collection, you can find them in your folders and drag the thumbnails in the grid and place in Annecy.

  • Bug in the smart Collections when change Date is today?

    2016-06-07 17_38_23-Edit Smart Collection.png

    I got home today, made changes to the three images, and then I wanted to collect these three in a smart collection. Much to my surprise, I found myself with 91 images in my Smart Collection. And I know that I have not touched Lightroom since Sunday (two days ago) because I was not home yesterday. I'm 100% sure that Auto Sync was not lit when I edited the three photos (and if it has been activated there will be an entry in the history panel, which there is not). Can anyone provide a possible explanation? Or do I have to report it as a bug?

    In addition, there is a place in the metadata Panel, indicating the date of the edition? I could not find.

    I am convinced that the only thing I did when I got home was actually to change 3 pictures. I change the metadata fields that I know, normally when I'm editing mode, I'm not back metadata to the metadata edition edition. The AnyFilter plugin is not installed. I doubt that other plugins were nothing, the only one that would be possibly enabled is exporting Jeffrey Friedl Lightroom plugin, and I understand he uploads from Flickr comments, unless make you it run using it to upload photos.

  • How can I drag images out of the office directly in the flow of the text?

    Hello. I have not figured this out and could use some help.

    I know I can drag images from the finder into an InDesign doc and even pull the frame size by.

    I know that I can cut the object (image) and paste it into the text flow so that my screenshots going on with the text.

    Is my question, there a way to drag images (screenshots) directly in the flow of the text?

    Or y at - it a setting where the area of the image runs automatically the text when dragging into the document. Thank you, it will save a lot of cutting travel time, then repasting in the text stream.

    I don't think so. Because when you're dragging to the desktop (or Adobe Bridge) and you enter the InDesign page, the cursor is expected to create a new image, or (if it is on an existing framework), replace the contents of this framework. But the manufacturing process of an anchored object requires the use of the text tool to make a text insertion.

  • Smart collection for images of the error

    Is it possible to create a smart collection for images with the message "lightroom has met problems reading of this photo?

    Laughing out loud

    If you get this message, the images have been corrupted somehow, and you will not be able to make use of these images. You might as well remove them from Lightroom.

  • How can I insert raw images in smart collections?

    I just created a few smart collections, but the CR files were rejected.  Is it possible to include?  I shoot raw/jpeg, so hold the two formats from the collection.

    Thank you.

    I just checked the Raw images in smart collections. It worked just like all other JPEG files. If you can view thumbnails of Raw in bridge, according to my hypothesis, there cannot be any problem in creating the smart collection. If you cannot display thumbnails u may need to update the bridge to read the contradiction of particular camera model image.any will be received in the good spirit

  • Drag and drop images from the Web browser

    I would like to be able to drag an image from a Web browser in bridge. Now I have to open a window on the same folder windows Explorer to drag the images in, and I use them to bridge view. Looks like a pretty easy fix. Would make a huge difference. I am constantly collecting the images quickly for reference, and it's annoying to have to have a dedicated windows Explorer open for drag & drop window.

    Yes, and it works even in CS4, just tried.

    I get an "OLE" instead of a Bitmap image when you drag an image from Firefox to CorelDraw X 4, how do I prevent this?

    First, drag the image on the desktop, and drag it to Corel Draw. If your dragging directly from firefox to Corel Draw, only copied link.

  • How to export the images from the Collection as a catalog and then merge with another catalog?

    How to transfer a version edited photo in a single LR catalog to a new LR catalog that has no editing.

    Tip! The Lightroom Catalog is a database file and contains no actual photo files, all it contains is information about the files that you have imported and info on the work you have done with the original image file.

    Please provide information on what you are trying to reach.

    The normal workflow is to create a catalog of the original files and then you can have virtual collections, smart Collections, Copies to make alternative options.

  • Adobe Bridge CC smart Collections are not all images in the folder

    I'm having a problem with bridge CC have been I have set up a smart collection to monitor my new photos. The folder contains more than 300 photos, but displays only 160. The only condition I set must have a minimum of 10 KB file size, then he needs to bring in all the files because most are greater than 4 MB. At first I thought it was a problem with the files themselves (permissions or something) but if I open the file in bridge easily display images easily. Any ideas?

    I just solved the above condition in accessing the smart collection and clicking while pressing 'control' > edit. > Source. > Look at po and re connected to the source of origin (on our server) that I had defined for the smart collection. All is well now.

    I hope this helps.

  • Can create you a smart collection of layered images

    Is there a way you can create a smart collection in Lightroom 4 to superimposed images? I have a bunch of overlapping images that I use for Panoramas and HDR fusion and I would like to create a smart automatic collection for these overlapping images. Is this possible?

    Robert

    Thanks, but I don't want to use third-party plug-ins. I can't believe that Adobe does not include a way to show just stacked collections of images.

    What I've done is added keywords for the stacks of images and then create smart collections based on those keywords. It seems to work very well.
