How to import existing images from iPhoto into LR4?

Tutorial Adobe TV said to import existing images into LR4 using the 'Images' folder, but iPhoto does not use this place.  Import of iPhoto options are "grayed out".  How this is achieved without moving pictures from iPhoto to a Document file?  Who wouldn't be difficult, take forever and come outside iPhoto 'actuality' and any other file organization?  You have to move previously organized iPhoto images separately, that sounds like a real pain?  This indicates that the LR4 has all the features for Mac?  I know have used iPhoto seems stupid, but I could get away with it when booting with good shots of the camera.  In addition, as a photographer of long date to a lot of different subjects, I 4 700 photos in iPhoto, including 2,400 of several trips to Paris.  This number does NOT represent a problem to not remove the poor images: I run continuous/burst on shots of candid people, wildlife and sport, giving a little to a number of good and different frames per output.  Like many, I have also let customers choose among many, in addition to keep those I consider the best.  I also keep a lot in order to provide retailers with a good selection of what they want to do.  What should I do to transfer to iPhoto to LR, and how difficult and tedious might?

Hi Tim,.

4. what still bothers me, is that I am doubling of the amount of space that I use if I pull every 185 gigabytes of photos dating back to 1998 iPhoto to LR.

5. so my question is simpy is there a way of not having to create a whole new batch of thousands of photos so that LR can work with them? In addition to reading the posts, I see that someone said to make an alias in your iPhoto library and then rather off select copy select Add instead. This way you do not have a lot of extra space and only reference the photos already in the iPhoto library, which, in my case, has been moved to the larger HARD drive and player off the SDS drive which is my boot drive. I have not tried this yet, because I fear that my light room 4 catalog file is big and I'm back where I started. Is it possible to move my LR catalog file to my HARD drive instead of keeping it in my Pitctures folder in my user on my SSD drive folder?

It makes no sense to manage your images in iPhoto both in LR.

If you really want to, then Yes, it is advisable to double them, there will be no interference.

Why not double them for now (on your hard drive, no SSD) and see later if you like LR enough to give up their iPhoto?

You can place your catalog LR = *.lrcat file where you want to. Clicking it will open in LR. You can then select in the preferences to always open the last catalog, or more precisely of this catalogue, at the opening of LR.

The catalog file will become too big. mine is about 1.5 GB for some 110'000 images.

Which takes much more space is the folder with the previews that will create a LR. The amount depends on your tastes and your speed needs.

I don't want to wait for "Loading"... "in the library module I dedicate some space in the folder of the previews (actually ca. 100 GB!), because I put the size of the preview wholesale in the dimensions in pixels for a big screen and high quality. This is because I use a laptop and want to be able to show images because of their preview when I travel, without having my originals available (they are on a NAS at home *).

In terms of performance of LR, you benefit most if you put your lrcat file as well as the issue of previews (... Previews.lrdata) on your SSD, as it is advantageous to use the fast playback speed.

Your actual image files can be stored on the hard drive, as LR is accessed less often.

If you are not so much on the agility of LR, you can put everything on your hard drive.

Separating his Previews.lrdata lrcat file - folder is not provided by Adobe, but possible - Victoria Bampton gives a work around for this in it "(la FAQ manquante pour Lightroom)." Then, of course, you renounce your SSD speed again access to / writing previews and just take the advantage of speed for the lrcat file.

If you are very concerned about the storage space on your SSD, why not start with everything on your hard drive? So if you get impatient with LR response time, you know that the first tweak would be to the SSD of catalog + previews?

    If you have saved the file name in the database, it's pretty simple.

    echo '' . $row['description'] . '';
    

    Is the same for the box:

    echo '';
    

    If you have saved the image file in the database, it is much more complicated. I recommend you store only the file name in the database.

  • How to import my contacts from my Tablet 10 "toshiba

    It is a question of toshiba 10 '' tablet, how to import my contacts from my computer on my tablet. I have "a real model, so tell me simply. Thank you very much.

    Optional information:
    Computer OS: Windows 7
    Browser: IE

    Already tried:
    Found nothing to try.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Susan.

    There are different applications. It also depends on where (in which program), your contacts are backed up.

    There is no "Google App Sync" that works with the latest versions of Outlook. I'm not sure if you can directly sync contacts with this app, or if it goes over google's servers.

    For our phones, I used "MyPhoneExplorer". This app is free for PC and Android sync (not only) contacts directly between the PC software (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Lotus, MyPhoneExplorer internal) and some android devices. Either your tablet. Synchronization can be done via WiFi. Thap app comes also with own icons for tasks and notes, and allows to synchronize the calendar as well (if a calendar is present on the Tablet).

    Don't forget to backup your PC Contacts before the first synchronization, however.

  • How do I download images from my android phone on my new computer WIndows 8?

    How do I download images from my android phone on my new computer Windows 8?  In my old Vista, all I had to do was connect my phone to the USB port and she made the photos.  When I plugged in my phone, the computer makes the lovely chime but don't watch not the phone when you click on "devices".  So when I found this and do a right click on it, I don't have the option of opening. Very frustrating.

    Thank you very much! It's actually pretty easy. People dribble on hatred of everything that is NOT useful and should be eliminated by the moderator of the site! Commons, peeps! We hear enough drib neg everywhere and it cascades (see example above). I paid more than a grand for a great HP with Vista and used for the Tech Cert class and cleaned for my son's graduation gift and he is a writer and player and he loves her and we had win7 and new free heat paste and he's still using it after 7 years. I also have older refurb that run circles around "hater peeps" with bells and whistles that they dislike. I take most of it off the coast of the new computers anywho. A very productive day and catch me on my site of the Pupsrun.com family, when it finally comes out of beta mode. :)

    Howell salvation,

    Adobe is not a software that translates documents. If you use Acrobat to convert a PDF to Word or Excel, you can choose the language to use for the optical recognition of characters (OCR), but this is not the same as the language translation.

    There are free utilities that allow to convert the text from one language to another, including http://google.com/translate.

    Hi Gramo5,

    Please follow the steps below.

    1. In the Finder, go to your package of iPhoto file. By default, it is located in /Users/[username]/ pictures and it is called iPhoto library.

    2. Control-click the iPhoto library file and choose show package content.

      A Finder window will open that displays the contents of the package file. The Masters folder contains all the pictures that are in iPhoto.

    3. Control-click on the folder named Masters and choose duplicate.

    4. Do drag the folder named "copy of masters' window of the library Finder iPhoto on your desktop and then you can import pictures into Photoshop from the desktop.
