How can I save a particular set of photos on an external drive. NEF files as well as everything I've done for them in Lightroom?

Apologies in advance if this is a dead-easy question or one that has been answered countless times in the past.

When I get back from a trip, I load all the photos of the trip in Lightroom, create a collection out of them, the best of the Pavilion, and treat them in the module 'development '. If I want to save these photos up to an external drive (most likely a USB key), I know that I can simply drag the. Files NAVE from the Finder to the drive icon, but who copies only the files raw, not the work I did on them in Lightroom. Is it a simple and direct way to choose a particular collection of photos into Lightroom and export it to an external drive, including the raw files and any relevant changes for them ('sidecar files"?)? Or do I need to do this in several steps, as by exporting this collection as a catalog separately by copying the raw files?

I realize that I could do a back-up Time Capsule of the whole machine - and I do on a regular basis, but I want to have quick access to a back-up of only pictures of a particular trip.

My installation includes Nikon cameras (so the ".") "NAVE" reference above), a fairly new iMac and Lightroom 5.7.

In its default configuration, Lightroom saves only the changes in the catalog. If you selected the option to save the changes to XMP so there will be files XMP sidecar to accompany each raw file that you worked on in Lightroom. If you have not activated this option, you can select all of the images and do a 'Save to File metadata"in the menu picture. Just be aware that these changes will be visible in other Adobe software. There isn't any method of writing changes directly in a raw file. But if you back up your files on a flashdrive and then make sure that you back up your catalog on a regular basis, you should be relatively safe.

    The Organizer stores its information in a catalog, it does not store your photos, as you correctly suggest.

    1 - photo/media ("library") files are stored on your computer where you want on the inside or / and several external drives.

    2 - the catalog itself is a folder containing the database and other assets of catalog as the cache thumbnails. By default, it's on your startup disk. Help found its place > information of the Organizer menu system.

    3. you can copy or move all the folder where you want: links always corresponding to the actual location of the media files. However, if you move the files from your library outside of the Organizer, the links are not updated.

    Based on these 3 principles that you can choose what suits best.

    -If you want to free up space on your internal drive, you can move your 'library' totally or in part, to an external drive, provided that make you the gesture of the display of the records of your organiser (not from the finder). Who maintains the links updated.

    -If you do it from the Finder, you will get "disconnected" files in your catalog and you would "reconnect" from the Catalog Manager (not easy).

    -You can keep your catalog on the internal drive, its size may not be a problem.

    -You might want to move your catalog where you want on the external hard drive. No problem to move the external drive. 'S done it with your Finder. In theory, the operating speed is lowest place, but the advantage is that you can share your catalog and library between two computers with the same version of the Organizer.

    -The best and safest to move your catalogue and the library to the Organizer in a single operation is to use the process of "backup and restore":

  • How can I save a complete set of bookmarks at once?

    After searching ERP/CRM info, I found several interesting located offering valuable information. Each of these sites was opened in another window. In doing so, I have gathered a series of tabs, each one connected to a specific Web site.
    How can I add all the links to my collection of Favorites at the same time, avoiding to save them one by one?

    You can use "bookmark all tabs".

    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you are using the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).

    • "To bookmark all tabs" (Shift + Ctrl + D) is no longer present in the menu bookmarks unless you open the bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    • "To bookmark all tabs" are available through the context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
    • 'Bookmark this Page' is accessible through the context menu of the browser page.

  • How can I save a member of the distribution to the hard drive?

    Hello

    I use "Web" in the library of Paintbox.

    I found a line of code on the forum in order to create a 'new' member of the cast.

    Now, I would like to save this new Member of the cast on the hard drive.

    BuddyApi is not an option to do that, and I did have luck with lists of Xtras I found.

    How can I accomplish this?

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    BigDaddy

    In order to develop, it's what you would call the Xtra in your code:

    -create the instance of the xtra

    objImg = xtra("ImgXtra").new)

    -get the image of the military, we want to save

    imgToSave = member("foobar").image

    -define the path and the name of bitmap

    strFileName = the moviePath & "foobar.jpg".

    -call the method ix_saveImage with the required parameters

    success = objImg.ix_saveImage (['image': imgToSave, "filename": strFileName])

    -Returns 1 if successful, 0 otherwise

    If success then

    -something here

    on the other

    -anything else here

    end

    -Disable an instance of xtra

    objImg = CANCEL

    Other optional settings such as the format and the flags can be set, if you wish, and the news are in the imgXtra.txt document.

  • How can I save 2 pages (on a 165 page document) into a separate file?

    I have downloaded a PDF 165 page file to the cloud of document, open the document and then attempted to use the Organizer to extract the 2 pages of the document to be saved in a separate file.  However, I can't use the Pages feature organize because I get a conversion failure - too many Pages.  Apparently, there's a max of 100 pages?  When I subscribed to this service, there never any mention on a limit on the documents page.  Is there a way I can save these pages in a separate file?

    You must have the Acrobat Application (Adobe Acrobat free trial downloadversion |) Acrobat Pro DC) installed on your computer to use the Extract function.

  • How can I move my LR catalog AND originals on an external drive?

    I use LR6 with a MBP 500 GB.

    I want to assure you that I have my LR catalog and its corresponding original files on an external drive. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You move the catalog file and photos using your operating system on the new hard drive.

    You keep the folder hierarchy and structure EXACTLY the same on the new hard drive. Do NOT take this as an opportunity to "clean up" the structure of folders or to make things of a folder.

    You double-click the catalog file, and then reconnect the photos in Lightroom using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing (see Figure 4)

  • How can you save session hearing on a different hard disk, sent via dynamic links to first?

    I am a Mac user. I train to a PC user to edit my audio.

    After the edict of sequences in CEP I send it via dynamic links to hearing make the audio changes then new return to CEP.

    How can I save the project/session of my Mac on a drive external hard shared for the PC user edit in Audition?

    I tried to send the CEP project via dynamic link to hearing, then opening audio files in Audition, then with the video showing in hearing - file > export > Session > checked "save copies of associated files" & chose the external hard drive that we share. No dice. External transfer to the computer and open the hearing session he has no related video and audio files that I had opened are not there. Essentially, this is an empty session.

    Help!

    Hi... basically dynamic link is not what you want if you want to send it to someone else for sound editing, as I can tell. I think the best option for you would be to select 'Export DV Preview Video' rather than 'Send by Dynamic Link' (under 'Edit in Audition'), which I think should export a video resolution low - ish, and the audio files and XML for hearing.

  • I blocked some photos in facebook by accident, the toddler got click happy. How can I remove this block in some photos?

    I blocked some photos in facebook by accident, the toddler got click happy. How can I remove this block in some photos?

    With Facebook on display, click the button to the site identity (for more details on what is, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button) and then on more information. This will open the page info dialog box.

    First, select the permissions tab, make sure that 'Load the Images' is set to allow (default selection should work as well)

    Then select the media tab, and then click the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll the list. If any element has the option 'Images of block of (field name)' selected, deselect the option.

    This should hopefully solve your problem, but see also https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show

    Some add-ons can also block images, for example, if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block images.

    Could someone help me that how can I save 100 to 200 in labview at equal distance from the values of a particular number? Lets assume that I have a number of 50 and I need 100-200 equidistant values between 0 and 50. I made a sample program, but it gives error of memory storage that I did not understand how to solve...

    You make the mistake to make equal comparisons on numbers floating point. It's very dangerous. Most likely, your VI will never stop until the computer is out of memory. Replace the 'equal' by ' greater than or equal to "and you should be OK.

    As you know the number of iterations in advance, you must use a loop FOR, see how far you get. In addition, your shift register must probably be initialized.

    (Of course, it is also 'ramp model' If you want a canned solution. )
