Files adjusted in Lightroom transfer to another computer if you need to reload the image files?

I'm used to make adjustments in Camera RAW and copy the image files for use on multiple workstations.  In this case, my settings go with the image file.  If I do my settings using Lightroom and move the image files to another computer I'll lose these adjustments?  I wonder if I invest all my time adjustment using Lightroom and my computer freezes I'll lose these adjustments even if I am backing up my files to an external drive.

You wrote: "if I do my settings using Lightroom and move the image files to another computer I lose these adaptations?

Yes, you will lose them unless you save in xmp. You're saving xmp is pressing the CTRL / Cmd + letter "S" or

(a) in the library Module, you'll > metadata > save metadata to file, or

(b) in the develop Module, you'll > Photo > save metadata to file.

Without , Lr writes the changes to the catalog only. And, if you transfer pictures without the catalog to another computer your changes will be lost on the second computer.

By an xmp file will be created that stores changes. In the case of a DNG format changes are not written in Xmp, but in the file header - same effect.

Note, however, that not everything can be stored in xmp files. For example, collections, stacking are stored in the catalog only.

This is probably because the record to xmp has been created to allow adjustment of Lr can be accessed in other Adobe products (for example, bridge). Naturally, only those "features" should be written in xmp that the other program can display.

  • Reloading the images on a card SD of photo files in windows7

    I downloaded pictures from my camera girl friends and he the deleted automatically from its SD I haven't checked the prompt to do so.  I then tried to reload the images on his SD clicking and referring them to the SD card it looked as if the process is finished, but when she put it back in the camera there is no images.  Is it possible to have the images replace on his SD as she would like to use it to display his pictures on his digital photo frame that has the option of SD and no USB port.  Thank you all in advance for any help in this matter.

    Hey! I would suggest finding the photos and put the SD card into the slot. When the SD folder comes up on the computer, try to highlight photos and dragging them to the SD folder. I hope this helps! :) I tested it on my computer windows 7 and it worked.

  • Lightroom on a new computer - how to move photos from the LR I have on another computer

    I have Lightroom 5 installed on my laptop but now a new desktop computer. I plan to do the creative cloud because I would have access to Photoshop, but wonder if there is a way to transfer my photos from my old computer LR in the new.  Or if I have to buy LR still to have it on my new computer, first place.  Advice please? Thank you!

    Licensed Lightroom, whether it's a stand-alone license, or a creative cloud license allows you to install Lightroom on two different computers for your personal use. You can install Lightroom on the new computer, and then follow the instructions on how to move or copy the files to your current computer.

    How can I move Lightroom to a new computer? Lightroom Queen

    Each installation of Lightroom should have its own local catalog on a local drive on this computer. Some people use dropbox for the catalog so that it can be used on both computers. There are a lot of considerations when you try to work with different computers. But it can be done.

    1 re - format or 'break' his old hard drive that I originally installed Windows 7 retail on so it's offline (unusable).

    2 re - format my most recent hard drive for Dell Precision and installs Windows 7 top detail.
