• Organize your photos in Windows 8

  Original title: well, I bought a new computer with windows 8, and it totally sucks how can I complain enough to return to windows 7

  I bought a computer with windows 8 and I'm very dissatisfied. I can't yet easily organize my photos. I can't group them and drag them easily in the files. I seem to always go back to the old office and make forest and all. This program is so poorly organized. so many holes are missing and I just want back my windows 7 that was on my old hard drive that crashed. I am pretty technologically Savoie and may not yet understand it. I bet that the average person will not be able to do this work. Windows 7 has been a great OS and I am betting that the mac people applaud by watching this shipwreck.  Send me a CD I want out!

  The box I have is just a preference that I turned on under my options. You can also do it in View > Folder Options, but it should not affect this problem.

  Are you able to drag files into folders in other locations in addition to photos?

• How do I delete all the photos in Lightroom Mobile?

  I would like to delete all the photos in my photo library Lightroom Mobile. A one-step procedure would be ideal.

  For background: Lightroom my Office catalog has tens of thousands of photos and hundreds of collections. When I was getting familiar with Lightroom Mobile first, I synced all my photos with the service. It was a mistake; I didn't know that this would result in large amounts of data fill my mobile devices (I thought that the service worked more like Dropbox, OneDrive, etc., where the photos are loaded as needed). My photo library Lightroom Mobile is now much too large to fit on my mobile, and even partially synchronization fills my devices immediately. I want to empty my library and start over.

  Select individually each image in the web interface is not a practical solution. It is not as convenient keep all photos in Lightroom on mobile and then delete the unwanted collections of different mobile devices, because it would involve deleting hundreds of events for each mobile device whenever I created Lightroom Mobile. I would like to erase from my library and start again with a small number of collections in sync.

  Any advice on how this could be done would be appreciated!

  In preferences > Lightroom Mobile, there is a delete all the data button.

• Move the catalog in photoshop elements 10 should move everything, including your photos?

  I would like to move all my photos in my laptop catalog out of my PC on a hard drive. Move catalog it.  I can't find anything about it.  It also moves the catalog of her self.  Want to make a back up but do not.

  While exactly made the choice to "move the catalog?

  What I explained: the catalogue (which is a folder) is moved to the desired location. Move catalog does not change its content, including the location of the image files referenced.

  Move a catalog in the default location on an external USB drive to store all of your media files is a comon task. In this way, you can share your catalog and library between multiple computers with the same version of elements. Replacing the external drive to the internal one after a full backup and a restore disk external hard is also useful to make your catalogs (if you have several of them) are displayed in the same place in the Catalog Manager, having rather navigate to the location of "custom".

• Organization of photo library

  Hello

  I am in the process by putting my main workstation to Windows to Mac. I have a pretty big photo archive (110 GB), that I always organized in the folders as I want - year, photo taken months and I use Bridge and Photoshop for editing (cloud Creative). I really _want_ to take photos but I understand Photos on import organizes all the pictures of the Photoslibrary in folders by date imported. That makes me hesitate. I don't understand. Have tried Googling and Youtubing, but cannot decide what to do. My biggest concern is that if I want to return to using Bridge and Photoshop as my main workflow I'd on the photos in Finder folders organized by photographing year/month - is it possible to export all the photos in the photo library in Finder folders organized by photo date taken?

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Help a total newbie on Mac out. I'm so confused.

  Pictures displays your photo library in two different views:

  1. The sight of Photos show you the photos organized by "Moments." A Moment is a group of photos taken on the same day in the same place.  The times appear firstly by capture date, oldest chronlogically.  You can change the display of the Moments to a view of collections or year for large groups of photos.  Collections are grouping related moments, so you will find pictures of holidays in a collection. The title of the collections and the moments will show catpture date and location, if your photos are tagged with GPS. I mainly use this view to access my photos to the capture date.  Collections and the 'Moments', years are saving me a lot of work, since the consolidation is carried out fully automatically.  I don't have to create folders named by date ranges and places on my own.
  2. The photos in the album 'Pictures' is sort by the date you imported, so that you can easily access the most recent import.

  And Yes, you can export your photos in folders named by date.  Among the export options is the subfolder option "name of the Moment."

  The Masters folder inside the photo library contains the original images, if you copy photos in the library, but it is not intended as a means to access pictures.  Always use the GUI of photos recover photos and pass them to external publishers.  To edit a photo in photoshop, you open the photo in edit mode and run the extension of "External editors" photo editing and select Photoshop as editor.

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Photos will work this way, but you cannot use iCloud photo library.

  Also, this is not well supported to use the pictures in this way.  Photos has no tools to reconnect the pictures referenced quickly, if you must move the photos to another drive. or if you restore a backup photos, because the leaning reader operation.  You will have a lot of work, if you need to replace your drive with the library or move it to a new computer.  So I can't really recommend.  If you want to manage your photos from the Finder, do not use the Photos for Mac application.

  I prefer to have mage Photos my photos, because it is easy to create albums of the purpose FRO specific to search for photos: the date of capture one titles and legends, the names of the people in the photos, the name of the scene.

  But it is to you, how you want to organize your Photos.  You can use a Mac without the help of pictures.

  If you like Adobe software, why not use Lightroom?  It supports the referenced pictures and integrates well with Photoshop.

• Organize your desktop automatically by DATE Photos

  Hello

  I have a small concert photo editing that come to me (by email), all day, like a daily assignment. It can be of 3 photos, it may be 50. But they all get made and sent this day there. I have... 2 computers. We are old and for my photography only (a brick, but a giant screen). When I download pictures from my camera it automatically creates folders by date in Lightroom and it's very nice - to me. I understand that a LOT of people hate organization photography by date, but it works. If I went to Yosemite on 22 August, I'll remember that and search for that date.

  Nevertheless, with this editing work, on my main computer, I have a new version of Lightroom and it works just not for me. I want to have a record for the 07/10/16 function when the photo was imported, not based on me literally creating a folder and typing on. How can I get Lightroom to create a new folder for each import? I don't want to spend time, not getting paid, creating folders to folders on my computer just to organize the photos every day - is not point of Lightroom to, at least in some way, help to literally to organize your photos? Automatically?

  My apologies if I'm missing some HUGE key point here!

  Thanks in advance!

  I want to have a record for the 07/10/16 function when the photo was imported,

  Lightroom to create folders by date of capture. This seems different from what you're talking about, you have the ability to create folders by date of importation. Lightroom which does not (unless the date of importation is identical to the date of capture).

  It's not clear to me why you want the date of the photo was imported, what's not with the help of the built-in functionality of Lightroom that creates folders by date of capture?

  It is also not clear to me that in the future, you will remember that you have imported the photos of Yosemite on 07/10/16, and I don't think that this is a good method in the long term, unless you have a better memory of anyone I have ever met (and I am very skeptical that you have such a great memory) , years from now you will not remember the date that you imported photos. If you use the word Yosemite to organize, you will remember that and you won't have to stop and think what day you imported photos.

  isn't the point of Lightroom to, at least in some way, help to literally to organize your photos? Automatically?

  My apologies if I'm missing some HUGE key point here!

  Yes,'re missing you a few points here. First of all, no software can anticipate all the possible needs of the user, it's records by date of importation (based on my experience of reading these similar forums and) organizing method rather rarely discussed, I don't remember someone ask before, so that the files by date of capture is a common way of doing things. That would explain why Lightroom isn't a feature to create folders by date of importation.

  The other point that you are missing, it's that Lightroom has been designed to provide organizing tools that are not easily available in your operating system. These are things like keywords, captions, titles, collections, the coast stars, flags of choice and a host of other things. and it also provides research tools to help you find pictures with specific metadata. Of course, Lightroom also has access to the tools available in your operating system, such as the creation of files with specific names. That's what you want to do, and Lightroom can do for you, just the same as the fact of your operating system. You create the file with specific name and then put the photos here, just as you can do with your operating system.

  Make your life so much easier to assign the keyword Yosemite to these pictures and then use this keyword Yosemite to get these photos in the future, it eliminates the cognitive task extremely difficult to remember the date of the importation of thousands (tens of thousands?) pictures and replace this with the extremely simple method to keep in mind that the photos were taken in Yosemite We must look at Yosemite. This is the brilliance of Lightroom, the power of Lightroom, it eliminates difficult cognitive tasks and replaces them with cognitive tasks extremely simple.

• How can I move photos in Lightroom?

• Photoshop Elements, organizer & mobile photos from Mac to PC

  Hello

  I have currently more 70 000 photos in iPhoto, I edit in Photoshop Elements.  I have myself treated just for an upgrade to 14 items and organizing see during the installation process reminded me that I should see how to store and organize my photos.  At some point soon, I intend to spend my Macbook to a PC.  14 items came with a disc of Mac and a PC drive, so I guess that I would be able to use it on a Windows laptop with no problems.  What I wonder is seen my photos on my Mac, organized to the Organizer if is going to make it easier or more difficult to transfer them to PC?  If I want with iPhoto to organize my photos for now, or take the plunge immediately and use Organizer? My understanding is that it will be a big headache in any case (advice gratefully received, but a little off topic!) to transfer my photo library from Mac to PC.  Is there a way that organizing can help the transition as I could use it on both Mac and PC?  I'm guessing not, but thought someone knowledgable might be able to help!

  Thank you

  Yes, the boxed version is "double platform.

  I'm not a Mac user, but there are two ways to work with iPhoto: either use iPhoto as the organizer and send images to change to the item editor. You do not use the Organizer in the process. Or you use the option to send your entire library to the Organizer, which duplicates all your library iPhoto hidden on your computer and allows you to use the Organizer.

  http://barbarabrundage.com/2010/11/

  So, I can see the following process:

  1. be sure you are using the second solution, to import your ENTIRE library in iPhoto on your computer so that your files are no longer hidden and private iPhoto files; the Organizer all will keep them in its catalog.

  2. perform a full backup of the Organizer on an external drive

  3 - install the 14 on the PC

  4 - Use the recovery menu in the Organizer to restore on your computer. Who restores your catalog and all of your media files.

  Look at the chapter for moving with the Mac.

• How do I enter Organizer

  I just downloaded the latest version (12) of the elements and can not find the button (link) to launch the elements Organizer.  I use a MAC and the icon is not on the editing screen, and I do not get an option on the first page to open the organizer or Publisher.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

  You can't get Organizer for the app store version. If you really want the Organizer, you can try to use the report a problem link in your receipt to see if they will give you a refund. Sometimes they do, sometimes they did not.

  Then get PSE elsewhere, but, historically, this is a terrible time to buy the latest version of PSE.

  If you stay with the version of the app store, you don't 'import' your photos, just open them for editing, so get you them from your camera but you did it. If you already use iphoto or another program to organize your photos, you can set the PSE as external editor and send photos from there. Otherwise, you're on your own for their organization.

• How to move text on the screen?

  I can type the text in the little boxes when place the text on the screen (not the titles developed - just place the text on the screen after hitting the "T" key).  The box is difficult to work, and I did not understand how simply MOVE it to a different area of the screen.  Is this possible?  I can't just click and drag it.  And why the cursor looks like this little arrow pointing to?  And why the box to keep changing shape on me, etc.. ?  Someone else has a lot of trouble with this?

  Here is a glance at the Titler Panel, with one selected area of text (visible Bounding Box) and ready to be moved. Pre 4.0 it's with but a few exceptions, will look the same.

  

  Hope that helps and good luck,

• 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)

• How to move photos in 9 of the elements on a Mac?

  I have just installed Elements 9 for Mac and had some difficulties to import all my photos from IPhoto, because I had an older version of Iphoto which has not been supported.  My work around was to export all my files/photos Iphoto to a folder on my desktop.  Then using PSE 9, I imported the photos in the software.  So I think I do well, until I try to move or delete the folder office with original photos.  As soon as I did this, PES 9 shows I have all of the missing files and wants to reconnect them.  I've read about support Adobe if you want to move photos, you must do this within the PES, not directly from the desktop.  But talk about all the help sites I found the Windows version software, and using the feature of moving/file.  Though Mac has only move copy on removable disk.  I don't want to move it to a removable drive.  I want to just move out of my office.  How can I do this?  How can I move with my pix on my office source files to another folder on my mac?

  Well, the simplest thing would be to this point to simply move the images in the Finder to anywhere where you like and then start again with a new catalogue, but if you have a LOT of albums, what spoke to you (copy/move) is to move the pictures in offline or on a different hard drive. If you want to use the same catalog, you need to open the folder view and settle there.

  In the Organizer, go to view > folder view for an overview of your folders and drag the photos you want.

  You must understand that the Organizer is different from iphoto because it only keeps track of your photos - it do not make copies or store the fact iphoto library, so if you remove a photo from the hard disk through the organiser, it disappeared completely. These office files contain your only copies (unless you still have them in iphoto so library or a backup somewhere else). Organizing did not others, so do not delete just them or you delete your photos.

  I would also keep in mind that it is quite version 1.0 mac Organizer.
