How to re - locate all photos in LR4?

Hello!

Well, I had all my photos stored on a WD drive with the G: drive letter but I had to change it to J: and now when I run Lightroom I see the "photo is missing" message for every single picture in the Lightroom Catalog.

I still have pictures of the original and the same structure of folders as before. Nothing has changed at all, in fact, except for the drive letter.

If I click on the icon of little exclamation mark for one of the photos, I get a prompt asking me if I want to locate the photo and I can click on the location button. But you can't expect me to do it repeatedly for 5000 photos.

So my question is, is there a way to tell that the photos are now on the J: drive and not g: while preserving the previews to Lightroom?

This is an expected behavior of the Lr if you change a drive letter.

Library (Grid View) in the folders Panel mode (left side), you should see that all records have questions marks. It's Lr indication that he "doesn't know" where are your files.

The location of the files and images is stored in the Lr catalog, and whenever there is incompatibility between the location recorded in the catalog and the actual situation on the hard drive, you get the message "missing file" or "missing image".

The remedy is: go to the folder more high in the hierarchy of all the missing files, right-click and select or . Navigate to the drive by the letter changed and click on the corresponding folder. Since you have not changed the folder structure nor the names of folders, Lr will find the sub files on its own.

  • How to add location α all photos in an album?

    How can I add a location α pictures in one album?  I can add one at a time, but not all at once.  With 14 000 + photos scanned from slides, it is very difficult to organize these photos.  I can't sort the master file by file name, to find as "slides" are almost impossible.

    It would be useful that I can change the date and the location of all the photos in a single album.

    Thank you!  -Andy

    You must update to El Capitan that it update the photos to be able to do.

    When you select all the photos you want to give a specific location also.  Open the window "information" (command - 'I') and inside of him, you'll see "Add location" and you can enter in where it was taken.

    You can be very specific if you know specific addresses of the place where they are taken.

  • How can I delete all but 2015 to 2016 nigh (ios10.0.2) iPhone photos to free up space, after synchronizing all photos on my Mac (Yosemite 10.10.5)?

    How can I remove all but 2015 to 2016 photos from my iPhone (ios10.0.2) for free space, after synchronizing all the photos on my mac (Yosemite 10.10.5) computer?

    The fastest way I can think of would be to go to the Albums, go to all the Photos tab, highlight the photo you want to delete and press 'Select' in the upper right corner. Place your finger on the first complete line, you want to remove (if you have pictures that do not have a complete row that you want to remove these institutions, select them individually first), slide your finger on the line so that they are all selected, and then slide up so that it starts automatically at your old photos of scrolling. Once the photos you want to delete are selected, press the trash in the lower right. This will move them to your album "Recently deleted", then they will be always on your phone for 30 days, unless you remove them. If you are sure that you have already backed up these photos and does not accidentally still photos you want, feel free to remove them.

  • How to move photos all photos and remove iPhoto and Aperture libraries?

    How can I move all the my iPhoto and Aperture photos to Photos and remove iPhoto and Aperture libraries?  Photos automatically links to the old library on migration to save space with two libraries.

    As a related issue, there don't seem to be anyway to determine if a picture is stored when viewing Photos.  Incredibly frustrating when there are duplicates because how do you know who I should delete?

    No - nothing is connected - once you migrate a library it is independent and did no link to the original library - you can remove it if yo want

    However the removal of the original library will save the little space and is not repeated because it uses hard links to the original and previews so the new library uses little extra space

    As duplicates - what difference does make? They are duplicates so delete an and smells like another - even - you do not have any what visibility of the underlying files (and do not need to do this) in pictures

    Pictures is a new program and this is a learning curve - and is not a professional software like Aperture, so it is not expected at all what Aperture is - is better than iPhoto and get closer to the opening, but I doubt it will ever open

    I moved some pictures album and I 'cmd + dele' pictures, but it disappears completely even in the album "All photos", how can I find those back?

    Restore the photos removed from the album "recently deleted".

    The key combination command + delete ⌘⌫ will actually delete the photos from your library, not only to remove it from the album.  If you want to remove photos from albums, only the delete key, not use command-DELETE.

  • How can I stop my photos be deleted from all my devices when I remove my phone is off

    How can I stop my photos be deleted from all my devices when I remove my phone is off

    With no information can only guess

    My guess is that you are using iCloud photo library and if that is correct, then this is the way ICPL works and why it exists - it synchronizes the libraries on mulciple devices by keeping anyway - any changes made on any device is performed on all including additions, deletions, and modifications

    If this isn't what you want then you should not use ICPL

    For devices with limited storage you put to use optimized photos keep the originals only on iCLoud photo library and any other device with large storage available

    If you make your slideshow as a video, you can burn it to a DVD and ship the DVD.  Or send it by email - Apple mail will use the mailbox, if the attachment is too large for the mail and send the recipient a link to a folder in iCloud to download.

    You can use the mailbox to send files that exceed the maximum size allowed by your ISP email account . Mailbox post large attachments to iCloud, where they are encrypted and stored for 30 days.

    • If you have an iCloud account and you're connected to iCloud when you click on send, mail will automatically send the attachments using the mailbox. Mail attachments do not count against your storage iCloud.
    • If you have not an iCloud account, or if you are not connected, Mail asking you if you want to use the mailbox (always use send, select "no longer request for this account").

    If a recipient using Mail in OS X Yosemite or later, attachments are included with your message. For the other beneficiaries, your message includes links to download attachments and their expiry date.

  • How can I search for all photos that have names composed of four numbers?

    OT: Help search.

    Hello, I want to seek a photo (.jpg), photography is as the name of 5225.jpg, which consists of four digits. How can I search for all photos that have names composed of four numbers? Thank you

    I don't know how to search only images that carry the 4 numbers, but I know how to find a file that is exactly 4 letters long and ends with ".jpg".

    To do this, type this in your search box (exactly as it is, including quotation marks):

    "file name:"? "jpg"

    It will search for all files that have exactly 4 characters followed by .jpg at the end.
