How can you truncate filenames, or selectively remove text strings?

I am a newbie of LR and imported by mistake some long file names in the program.  It is catastrophic when mode grid as the file the main components of the name are not visible due to the length of the file name. I tried a customer card in which had a tedious work around, but could not do the work for me. Any suggestions?

John,

If these files have been renamed before importing in Lightroom than "Filename number suffix" are not available.  I've seen this problem with the files renamed prior to importation.

  • How can you change a text in an image?

    How can you change a text in an image?

    Hi Jasper,.

    It depends on how the text has been staged, and what has been done with the image after that.

    A quick test - what happens when you zoom in on, or enlarge the image?

    If the text retains its edges when amplified, then it can probably be edited separately from the image. If the text begins to show pixelation on the edges (like the picture), then there is no text to change, what looks like adding text is actually part of the image and can only be changed in the same way that you can change anywhere in the image.

    Here is an example:

    The photo is a photo (jpeg format), inserted in a Pages document created with the essay template. White text in the upper left corner of the photo is placed in a text box. To put the photo on this page (and the text on and around it) has been converted to a PNG file. When it is enlarged on this screen, the text finally a pixelated image...

    .. .the easily noticed in the thin relates diagonal 'o'.

    In Pages, however, the text and the picture are separated, and the text is a vector image - mathematically trained and scalable.

    The text here is contained in a text box and the text box was grouped with the photo. To change the text (in Pages), I need to:

    • Click on the text.
      Handles will appear in the corners of the selection.
      That click you select either the entire image OR just simply the text box.
      • IF the handles are blue x characters, the selection is locked
        Go organize (menu) > Unlock
        Sectionals unlocked handles are small white squares.
    • IF the selection includes the entire image
      • Go to the menu, rearrange and choose ungroup
        If the choice to separate is not available, the text may be part of the image and uneditable as text.
        Try to click twice (separated from the clicks, not double click).
        If the insertion point (|) is now in the text, the text is editable as text.
        Change the text.
    • IF the selection looks like a text box and does not the whole image
      • Click on the text to place the insertion point (]) in the text
        Change the text.

    Image showing the insertion point in the text in a text box on the image:

    Whence the content come of for example you have the music on the iPad, and if so is sometimes copied from CDs? You can copy purchases on iTunes from your computer via file > devices > transfer purchases, make a backup of the iPad, and restore this backup on the new iPad (music, videos, etc. is copied from the iTunes library, not the actual backup, so you will need these items in the iTunes library).

    Hello

    When you use the application of the training session, choose the type of activity that best fits your business. For anything else - like weight - select the other category.

    During the follow-up of one year to the next helps:

    • Activity app will credit the ring of progress of exercise with one minute for every minute of the workout.
    • Active calories will be based on the data recorded by the heart rate sensor or a brisk walk, whichever is greater.

    Note, however, that the heart rate sensor is likely to give better results for the workouts that involve rhythmic (for example running) rather than the irregular movements.

    Sorry, but the restriction password cannot be reset, it is part of the backup and restore a backup that was taken after the restrictions were activated, restore this code again.

    You will have to start without the help of the data backup, configure the phone to factory settings and start over. Follow the steps mentioned in this article:

    If you lose or forget your password restriction, you must erase your device and then put it up as a new device to remove the restriction password. Restore the device by using a backup does not delete the access code.
