• How can I manage the same catalog on external hard drive on two different PCs

  Hello to everyone.

  I would lik to see whether there is a possibility to manage the same catalog on two different workstations. For example, I make a few adjustments in the morning on my pc 1 ad, and then later I close the office but I need to continue to work on the same files on pc 2 without starting all over. Then I make other adjustments to other files that I end the next day on 1 pc.

  Anyone please help?

  Thank you!

  Hi Anna,.

  You can store the catalog Lightroom and original images on an external hard drive, and connect the player to the computer on which you want to change.

  Refer to this tutorial to find out how to transfer your catalog on disk: Lightroom training: How do I move Photos or a catalogue on an external drive - YouTube

• I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

  Adobe,

  I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

  I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

  You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

  Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

  Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

  Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

  Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.

• Download of photos from an external hard drive

  New to Photoshop.

  IMac OS X Yosemite - Photoshop Elements 13

  How can I set Photoshop Elements download as opposed to import my photos of my external hard drives?  I want to avoid the 'missing file' & reconnect "."  Memory cards import all data: external hard drives can probably do the same thing?

  I found information on how to manually drag on but it does not work either.

  I don't want any of my eternal hard drives to synchronize with Photoshop, as they do at the moment.

  I read learning and support and tutorials but still impossible to locate any 'preferences' in this regard.

  Regards Tina

  Hi Tina, if you want to keep the external drive connected as a drive to work, then you must copy pictures to a folder of photos.

  Then use the menu of the Organizer:

  File > get Photos & videos > files & folders

  Then navigate to your location in images.

  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.

  Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I got a few responses that work.) Thank!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy photos to my external hard drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do leave LR or my car, I get the message; "Disc burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone can find out if there is something I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help! So frustrating!  I have a Lenovo PC, I don't know if that makes a difference. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!

  You burned discs with other programs using this computer? Are you sure that you have a drive that will burn the disks?

• How to find an external hard drive using bridge

  I use CS4 in a Mac. Due to lack of space, I transferred all folders of photos to an external hard drive Lacie. Now, I can find the Lacie with Bridge and find and open all folders of photos. But when I try to search by keyword, they are not found. How do I do that?

  You will need to reindex all files before that search works.

  I purge the existing cache and then perform a search in the top folder.  Select "Include Non-Indexed files" at the bottom of the search window.

  All files will be indexed, but it will take a while.  It start when you leave work on computer for awhile.

  Hope this fixes the problem.

• How can I restore my backup files on an external hard drive using Windows XP SP3?

  I back up my files to an external hard drive using windows XP sp2. My pc crashed and re installed with Windows XP sp3. Now I can't find the backup on the system tools utility. How can I restore my backup files. Help, please.

  Hi PML.

  Yes, I used the built in «Back to the top of the tool» Unfortunately I don't have the CD. My Netbook is a HP mini computer that comes with Windows XP home. Thank you for your help and I hope to hear from you again.

  How do you reinstall Windows?  If you have used the HP Recovery system to recover from a hidden partition, backup should have been reinstalled.

  I suggest you call HP support.

• FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

  How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

  Hi MVRMVR,

  Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

  I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

• I don't see the photos on my external hard drive with windows Vista Home Basic

  Hello

  I bought an external hard drive Sansung to save all my music, but when one copy all my external music files hard drive thumbnails disappears. I uncheck the "always show icons, never thumbnails" in folder options, I tried large icons on display options, I even checked "display thumbnails instead of icons" on the Visual effects tab in the Panel of the Performance in Advanced system settings. ' " Prevented, Windows Vista is not able to see the photos in my external hard drive.
  What should I do?...
  Looking forward to your audience you shortly.
  Thanks in advance,
  Charlie

  1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup
  
  2 check the photos and click OK.
  NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

  3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

  4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

  This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).

• If I saved photo on an external hard drive, now remove the laptop backup files to free up space?

  If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

  Original title: can anyone help please?

  Hello

  You can take a safe backup.

  After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

  1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

  2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.
