How should I start using smart displays a preview when I previosly did not use them?

I have used lightroom for some time now, but I've never used smart insights, so naturally I have a lot of photos on my PC. I think that I have enough space on my drives of computers to get. I would however like to get peace of mind: all my pictures are only in one place (my computer). If something were to happen to my computer and I couldn't recover photos they could be gone for good.

This is why I bought an external hard drive. I tried to learn as much as possible through tutorials on intelligent preview. I like the fact that it automatically saves the changes everywhere. But then I got to thinking: if I use smart previews the planned way is there is always only one place (external hard drive) where the pictures would be in? So if I lost the hard drive, I have the same problem. And then I could have a copy on the hard drive and original in the computer, but it would take a lot of space wouldn't it? Space isin can't issue right now, but I think that I should think about coming.

So, to summarize:

  • I would like to have my photos on two separate computers
  • I wish that they would be automatically synchronized
  • I would use disk minimum capasity so that I won't have any space issues in the future
  • I have a PC

Sorry for the long question.

Hi Hekko,

Previews Smart come into use when you have your original images stored on external hard drive and the catalogue on your local computer and external hard drive is not connected to your computer at this time.

You want to have the Lightroom catalog on two different machines, as well as the original images as well?

Automatic synchronization of the images is not possible in Lightroom.

You can save a copy of the images on your local hard disks and one copy on your external drive as you did.

Or, you can keep a backup copy of your original on an online service images if you like.

    Hello Samanthametallia,

    If your Windows Live (Outlook.com) account has been hacked, then I suggest you follow the procedure described in the following link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/outlook/hacked-account

  • How can I start using ACR?

    I've been reading for the last hour & can't find info on how to start using ACR.

    I can't find how to open!

    Can someone tell me how to start? Please, I beg you.

    I'm not sure what you mean, but every time you open a RAW file in Photoshop or PSE ACR filter is used to open it, or indeed, you can open a JPEG, TIFF etc. of the bridge using ACR.

    If you mean ACR 8.1 final candidate, even if it will work with CS6, it is important to note that there is no support for the radial gradient tool, "automatic vertical" tilt / tilt correction, new stain, vignetting, or using Camera Raw itself as a filter unless you have a subscription to Photoshop CC

  • At the start of XP, get tasks to the message request did not

    When Windows starts, it keeps popping up:

    «Some tasks has not run at their regular times [...]»

    He even suggests that I have 'attempt' to run. Yes, good. Why is not that?

    How to get rid of this annoying pop up?

    I can't seem to understand or to understand why Support engineers who are hired by Microsoft can adequately respond to so many questions XP and respond with stupid things instead.

    If you mean that you see a message like this:

    Task Scheduler service
    Some tasks did not perform at their regular time because the Task Scheduler Service was not running.  You can view a list of missed tasks and try to run again to go with in the folder scheduled tasks.

    If you look in the scheduled task log file, you will see something like this:

    "Task Scheduler service".
    Some tasks may not have performed at their regular times between 17/02/2012 12:10:01 and 17/02/2012 12:23, either because the Task Scheduler Service is not running, the computer was hibernating.
       
    In the menu start then run, and in the type box:

    c:\Windows\Tasks

    Click OK to open the folder scheduled tasks, then drag the column autour separators so you can see the column headings.

    Look at the regulars and the columns of the next time run to see what tasks are to plan and NOT disabled or not scheduled run.

    Any scheduled task to want to run at the set time, as long as the system is running during this time.

    Some products that you install will set up a task so that they can update themselves at some point (as 02:00).  If your system does not work at 02:00 the next time that you start your system and if the skipped "Notify me of tasks" option is checked, you will see this message.  Things work as expected, which is not always as desired.

    You can also click with the right button on any task, choose Properties and disable the task or disable the option "Warn me of tasks" jumped (or both).

    You don't want to just disable the Task Scheduler Service because this Service is required for other things apart from the scheduled tasks.

    If you are not sure that the tasks are to meet with the name of the task and we can help you understand whether you need it or not.

    If you want to get a new start on the scheduled task log file:

    Stop the Task Scheduler service. Click on start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, Services and locate the Task Scheduler Service and stop it.

    Remove or rename the scheduled task probably cluttered log file that is usually found here:

    c:\windows\SchedLgU.txt

    Restart the Task Scheduler Service to create a new journal (it's just a text file) and verify that a new log file has been created and the content looks like this:

    "Task Scheduler service".

  • Qosmio F30 - how to get started using the external CD/DVD drive?

    Hello Mr President

    I have a Qosmio F30. My CD/DVD drive does not work. I have the USB CD/DVD drive, but I think that F30 does not support external USB CD/DVD drive to boot to the top.

    Please help me. Now, how can I boot Windows XP CD?

    At first, I must say that I really wonder why you do not have something to trade integrated optical drive. Qosmio F30 is not that old laptop and is perhaps the warranty still valid. You should check with the partner of service authorized in your country.

    For start with external peripheral is not so easy because the external drive doesn't recognize started upward. Theoretically you should either external ODD visible to your Qosmio. For older laptop, it is possible if you start Notepad in pilot mode and load BACK to BACK. After doing this you have access to the external hard drive and can start the installation.

    You can do this with your Qosmio laptop?
