Gross movement of photo files

Two weeks ago, but not all my folders containing images suddenly appear empty and all of them have migrated to the "My pictures" folder  I have now largely replace them in subfolders holding in their records, but wonder how that happened?

A person or program moved, but there is no way of knowing who or what.  Could have been a mistake, options 'useful' for the program or even a virus (doubtful).  Without knowing what type of program was running when it happened, it would be impossible to say really.

  • How can I move my photos out of Media Smart to another file on my computer, as my images?

    I uploaded my photos from my camera for the first time using HP Mediasmart, and now I can't get them in my normal photo file called, my images. I usually use a windows program to download on my computer, but thought I would try something new. Now my pictures are deleted from my camera, and I can't get them in my normal photo collection! There is no way of doing drag or right-click or anything! How does this work?

    I think I'm starting to see what your situation is now.

    Yes the manual way of drag n drop might seem not as smooth if your used to a user interface that automatically sorts.

    When I copy photos through a job, I have a folder of work with subfolders organized by alphabetical order. These colors may also be called by Date, or YOU want.  Inside of each of them, I have two folders with names of customers, dates, places or whatever the occasion.

    And it's easier for me to track where each series of photos are found.

    You can organize a system of files that suites you how you want to. The idea is that you know you have them there when you need it. Not guess. I do not recommend putting all the photos in one folder. It would be a nightmare to find.

    If you want to get more in photo editing and/or organization program specifically, there is a lot out there.

    I use Adobe Lightroom, which will download the photos from your card reader and place them where you tell him.

    It makes vast photo adjustments but its US $150.

    A free alternative to LR is a project open source called LightZone. It mimics most of the layout of Lightroom. You must register on their website first before you download. I did not use LZ.

    These aren't for the timid if they have a learning curve for them.

    I have a relative who won't use Picasa to navigate his photos with because it's the only thing that she is willing to learn and was easier for her.   ARRG

    I hope this has helped in some way.

    Sorry other software did not work for you.

    How can I move a photo in a folder on my desktop of my iMac to Photos on my iPhone.

I don't want to move the jpeg pictures on my iMac, but if I have to how it prevents all my photos in Photos being transferred to my iPhone?

    Open the JPEG in preview and then click on the button share and send it to yourself. Open the email on your device, tap and hold your finger on the photo until you see the window options. Click Save Photo, and he'll put it in your Photos on the device.

  • Why I can't move or delete files that have been used by Windows Movie Maker?

    Why I can't move or delete files that have been used by Windows Movie Maker? How to make them free again, now that I want to use the new computer.

    When you create a project in Movie Maker-.mswmm file... it
    records the path to the source (photos, videos, music) files...
    If you re-open the file .mswmm to re - edit source files...
    are not accessible if they have been moved or deleted.

    If "no" re - edit project .mswmm files...
    moving or deleting the source files is not a problem.

    If you 'are' the intention of re - edit .mswmm files but need the
    source files also... just make copies and let it
    original where they are.

  • Error when you try to open a Windows Movie Maker. MSWMM file: cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file

    Help! Says the file can't be flat, .mswmm file, but the program made the film.

    I used the Windows to make a film, I scanned 458 pictures, done my book of stories, etc. with music - took a month... I "published" and now when I go to open it it says ' cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file? But the Director did, now I can't open it to all, it has an .mswmm file extension! Help, it's a gift for my dad who is going to be 70 and I have not yet a month to make it again!

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem but have 1 idea as to why I can't open my .mswmm file. I have two xp machines running sp3, but a pro and a home edition if it matters.

    the file.mswmm I am trying to open was created on the moviemaker version 2.1.4028.0 and it still works fine on this machine. On the xp pro machine, he is Director of windows 2.1.4026.0.

    So I try to install the movie maker 28 to my other machine I have a lot of files created with the 28 I want to be able to change on the other computer.

    =============================================
    The project .mswmm file is best to use the system that created
    because it takes all the source files... Video clips, Photos, music
    files... always be available at the original location.

    Moving from one computer to another can work if you move as best
    all of the source files. When you open the .mswmm file you will see
    Xs red instead of thumbnails of the source but if you right click the red Xs
    You should be able to navigate to the new location of the files sources and re-
    establish the path.

  • Importing and organizing photo files lightroom 5 for the first time. Clean photo hard drive files

    I have a trial version of lightroom 5 and would like one once and forall to restore order to my two drives hard and lightroom 5 collection. Some photos in lightroom 5 seem to have lost their way. Some are in folders of Windows 7 and others are 9 elements. I made backup copies of some records and would like to have a more systematic approach to save them in the future. I have a NAS (network access storage) device and an additional hard drive, I thought that it would be better to use my cell phone as main for my photo files working memory such that it would be faster to work with the NAS or external and then again everything down to the NAS and external. I consider that the main challenge group all files and as much as possible to preserve the sides I gave photos; I would like to eliminate duplicats. on both the hard drive and in lightroom. I watched one of the vidios of initial training on the 'library' of the adobe help section and the presenter talked about two ways to import photos. the first and I think that I will use in the future is to open lightroom and import from the SD directly rather than having the Windows 7 import, and then ask to lightroom to find them. If anyone Kow of an exhaustive enumeration of the instructions on how to clean up my hard drives that would be extremely useful? Peter

    I doubt that it is a list of instructions to wipe a hard drive, because each starting situation is different and your 'own' is probably very different than my "clean".

    But let's clear up a few things first. From your writings, it seems that you think that you have stored pictures in post-secondary education and photos stored in LR. This is not correct. None of these programs to store your photos. All your pictures are on your hard drive, in folders, somewhere.

    Regarding the missing photos in Lightroom, when you move or rename your photos and folders outside of the Lightroom, Lightroom doesn't know where they are and bring back them as being absent. To fix it, see: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm related to that, you don't want to 'clean up' things in Windows and also "clean things" upward in Lightroom. Instead, once you import photos into Lightroom, you must do all the managing photos in Lightroom, not Windows, otherwise you'll just create several missing files.

    Regarding duplicates, Lightroom has some tools to detect duplicates. He will try to prevent duplicates during the import, and if you are unable to import duplicates, you can use the "auto stack by Capture time" to try to find additional duplicates. But if those who do not work, then're it pretty much on your own.

    With regard to put photos on your laptop to work on them rather than on your external hard drive, I think you will find that this gives a fraction of a second speed improvement that you may even not notice, which will be offset by the time you spend moving somewhere else photos when finished. So just put the photos in their final destination on your external HD or a NAS file and don't bother moving them to the internal HD.

    Which leads to another point. Once you have done this 'cleaning', your workflow should be to put the photos in a place and then do not transfer! (Exception: not enough space on the disk or moving to another drive/computer) Make your life easier as possible.

    One last point: seriously consider using keywords and other metadata for the Organization, rather than move photos/files from here to there, to reach the organization. These tools in Lightroom will give you the possibility of organizing in a much more powerful and flexible organization and what you can do by moving the photos/files from here to there. (Note: If you want all the photos in a sort of centralized location because it meets your storage needs, can do that because it meets your storage needs.) In this collection of photos in a centralized location, using keywords and other metadata to achieve organization and research)

  • Can I save the Organizer, move my photos and always access to post-secondary studies?

    I backed up my catalog to an external hard drive last night and there were about 20 disconnected files.  I wasn't able to locate so I allowed the back upward to continue without them.  Do you know what are the consequences for that?

    In addition, many of my pictures are on my C drive, and several are on the external hard drive.  My catalogue included photos of these two places. When I move the rest of my photos from the C drive of my computer to the external hard drive, the catalogue will always be able to access or will I have to backup everything again?

    My goal is to free up space on my computer, so PSE will stop freezing.  I am interested in fact at this moment can enter all my photos in the organizer and labeled.  I'll change them later I have started creating digital scrapbook pages.

    Can someone tell me if how I go about this is correct?

    Thank you

    Thanks Ken.  I have supported all my external hard drive, but now I think I rather just move everything there and reminds me of my photos of the HD post to free up space on my C drive.  Is this possible?
