How to copy a catalog of external hard drive to the hard drive of the computer to use smart insights not connected to the external hard drive?

I am very new to LR5. I put LR5 in place so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I discovered that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 can't find my catalog, therefore, I can't do any editing in intelligent insights, unless it is connected to an external hard drive. How can I fix this so that I can edit photos without being connected to an external hard drive. Is it possible to copy the catalog out of the hard disk on the computer's hard drive or I have to re-establish a new catalog using LR5? Must the catalog always be loaded onto the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

Yes that's correct. The LR catalog must be on the computer's internal drive. Then when you have smart previews activated you can change the image without going through the reader that they are connected. When you connect this drive images will be updated.

Simply COPY these 4 folders on your internal drive in a folder called Lightroom catalog that you create. Then open LR and go on the file menu point and select open catalog. Navigate to the folder you created called catalog in Lightroom and select the Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 5 file and click Open. Once restart Lightroom open change preferences, > preferences, and under the general tab, in the catalog default section make sure that "when starting to use this catalogue:" listings in the area where you copied the files. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever, have created it this folder/that folder name/Lightroom catalog.lrcat 5.

  • How to copy animations to other objects without messing up the starting position?

    When I have an animation on an object (say the displacement of left side of the screen to the right), and I want to copy paste this animation to other objects, how should I do this?

    If I copy the animation and paste it on other objects, they will end up in the position where I want them to start.

    Placing them on their final position will not give results, I would like to have either. Only when I put all the changes (e.g., rotation, scale, etc.), it will work.

    Is there a faster way to do this?

    Thank you!

    You can copy the animation, make sure to place the playhead to the desired start position, select the target object, and use Paste special-> Transitions paste of another. It should give you the desired result.

    Despite the title, this video explains how to MOVE pictures, not how to copy.

    There is no way to make copies of the photos using Lightroom, you can move the photos using Lightroom.

    Lightroom will result in no records per day, except when you import photos. If I could make a suggestion, leave your files in the same "mess" they are in now and use the keywords and other metadata to allow you to organize and search.

  • Lightroom on multiple computers, external hard drive + smart insights

    Hello

    I use a desktop pc and laptop (both with windows 7 and LR 5.6). I decided that the best way to work between the two was to use a disk 2 TB with all my photos and my LR catalog on that external drive. Have the catalog on the drive makes sense to me because the process to keep catalogs up-to-date on both computers seems somewhat discouraging and leaves plenty of room for operator error.

    I was looking for in my import operations and 'intelligent Preview' seemed to be an interesting effort for me because there might be a time when my external drive could be left at home or inconvenient to access and I would like to have the ability to work on my photos in offline mode. However, my understanding of the smart insights is that they need to be on a local catalog on the computer. If I try to run LR without my external HDD attached it wants me to locate or choose a different catalog, which is an obvious problem, if I don't have it with me.

    My question is, is it possible to use smart insights into the way that I am currently using LR? and if not, how do I remove the smart clips that I have already created?

    Thank you

    Scott

    If your images and the catalog and associated files are all on the external hard drive, then you have found smart. Smart insights are nice, if you want to take a subset of size reduced with you on your laptop and you do not have the available originals. The problem with intelligent insights, is that you can not turn to Photoshop or other external editors if necessary. This work was smart insights could in some cases limit what you'd be able to do.
