If Lightroom import parameters of the disc or replace the disc of the catalog settings

When the 'up' arrow key appears in a thumbnail and comes up with the message:

The metadata for one or more of these photos has been changed by another application. Lightroom import settings from disk or replace drive with the catalog settings?

What exactly means?  This seems to happen every time I have to export an image in PS (CS5) and back to LR.  What has changed exactly?  Which settings are imported if I choose "import settings from disk."

I think it would be best to not think in terms of what LR 'applies' changes. Because LR stores the changes made in the catalog, the changes are "applied" to the image on export. I think that it would be preferable to use the term 'view' instead of 'apply '.

Then: when LR, you open a RAW image in PS the LR-changes made until then are displayed in PS and then "apply" when you save a PS (don't forget PS CS5 opens the RAW image).

If you do more edits in PS and save these, LR will display these changes - you will then notice on back of the PS, LR will be re - load the image. On 'Save' PS applies (and here the term 'applicable' is correct) the changes by writing them in the image file. LR reads the saved file and displays it with PS-changes.

But the LR catalog settings are still in the State of the point in time before you open the image in PS. It is so because PS writes the changes to the image file and not in the LR catalog. So now you have a set of changes in the LR catalog and another set of changes in the image file.

To describe it as ' a little 'too top' with the PS applied, changes but it really has not applied the "isn't making the case because LR 'applies' only to export. LR doing at this stage is read the image with PS-changes file and display the image accordingly.

But LR "feels" that what is displayed is not what is in the catalog online.

This is the conflict that Lr wants to solve by popping the message.

You say "if so, then you really would like to import settings from disk so that the file will be PS changes, right?  "

Yes, if you wish that your changes-PS to replace your previous changes LR.

Now, I came to where I do not fixtures in PS that I can do in LR - and I do not fixtures in LR that PS is preferable to a workflow.

In practice: in PS, I do the cloning and also noise reduction when the LR - NR is not enough (for example in the noisy analyses).

I don't do any tonal or color adjustments to the PS because it is easier in Lr and gives me better results.

When the message appears, select 'Replace disk settings' - it keeps all Lr changes and does not overwrite the cloning.

  • Lightroom can't use the catalog named 'Master Catalog 5'

    I use a Dell laptop that was running Windows 7 x 32.

    Yesterday, I formatted the hard drive and installed Windows 7 x 64.

    All my Lightroom files are on an external hard drive.

    After you have reinstalled 5 Lightroom on my new version of Windows, I tried then open Master Catalog 5 only for getting the following message...

    "Lightroom cannot use the catalog named ' Master Catalog 5 ' because it is not writable and can not be opened."

    I then read all (I hope) I could find on this topic on this forum and made sure that the Master Catalog (and all subfolders) on the external hard drive can read; Click on 'Properties' and made sure read-only has been highlighted.

    This has not solved the problem for me.

    I also noticed that there is a 'log' file I deleted and a file .lock I found.

    None of this helped I always get the same warning message.

    Maybe you have an idea on what I can do next?

  • When you use Windows Live Photo Gallery SCREENSAVER, monitor off, regardless of power parameters. The power settings work with all the other screen savers.

    Windows Live Photo Gallery screensaver does not extinguish whatever my power settings.  This is the case with Windows Live Photo Gallery.  When you use any other screen saver, the screen turns off according to the way in which the power settings are defined.  It is quite frustrating because I prefer to use as my screen saver Windows Live Photo Gallery.  But he will stay indefinitely if I stop it manually.  Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?   Thank you.

    Hi MaynardCrossman


    As the issue seems to be specific to Windows Live Photo gallery, you can contact the Windows Live support team. I would recommend posting your query to community specific to Microsoft Windows Live. Please visit the link below to find a community that will provide the support that ask you in the right direction for Windows Live -http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=20

    Hello

    VappTemplate is read-only. You can change only the name and description.

    http://communities.VMware.com/message/2059209

    You can change this setting when you perform the capture of VAPP as a vapptemplate in the catalog.

    Code Snippet:
    ------------
    // get the vdc
    Vdc vdc = Vdc.getVdcById(vcloudClient, "urn:vcloud:vdc:c1b6e729-0553-402d-a7ed-f462cb4d87c4");
    // capture vapp params
    CaptureVAppParamsType captureVappParams = new CaptureVAppParamsType();
    captureVappParams.setName("VappName");
    captureVappParams.setSource(vapp.getReference());
    // set the customization settings to true
    CustomizationSectionType customizationSectionType = new CustomizationSectionType();
    customizationSectionType.setCustomizeOnInstantiate(true);
    customizationSectionType.setInfo(new MsgType());
    // add the customization settings to the capture vapp params.
    captureVappParams.getSection().add(new com.vmware.vcloud.api.rest.schema.ObjectFactory().createCustomizationSection(customizationSectionType));
    
    // perform the capture vapp operation
    VappTemplate vappTemplate = vdc.captureVapp(captureVappParams);

  • Box of Lightroom States cannot open the catalog due to an unexpected error.

  • Is to modify the data stored in the catalog

    I just tested how to back up the Lightroom Catalog and why it is important to do so. One of the videos I watched said things like flags, metadata, collections, etc. are all stored in the catalog (I knew) and why it is important to save the catalog in case your car operating system breaks down. But what real data of editing?  I know that Lightroom changes are non-destructive and the original files are still intact, but where the changes that you make are stored? If I increase exposure on the photo, is stored in the catalog, in the raw file itself or somewhere else?

    The entire edition is stored in the catalog. I always save the catalog whenever I leave, unless I was just viewing images and then I hit the "skip" button. This backup is on a separate partition, but compete when I do always a second copy on an external drive.

    If you also have a backup of your original images, preferably mirroring the structure of the LR library, you can easily re - connect the catalog with the files in the case of a system failure.

  • LR cannot read the catalog .psa (Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2)

    Hello

    I use Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 to manage my photos of 12'000 (with tags) and I'll switch to Lightroom. But I can't import the .psa catalog in Lr2.3.

    LR can read only catalog .lrcat, .lrdb and .aglib!

    I've renamed .psa catalog catalog .aglib etc but nothing happenend.

    My idea, I will:

    1. install PSE 7,

    2. read the .psa catalog (is it possible?)

    3. the export in the catalog .lrcat, .lrdb or .aglib (is it possible?)

    4. can import them with Lr with all tags

    Is there an easyer do?

    My brain is in turmoil:-------.

    Thank you

    Tennistin

    PSE7 should be able to convert your catalog. I don't really know, I haven't tried and haven't read on the conversion of the catalogues of PSA Starter Edition, but I'm optimistic.

    The problem is that the latest version of Lightroom will not read the catalogs PSE7. Probably when Lightroom 3 comes out, it will read the catalogs PSE7. So, I search the Internet to see if there is somewhere to download the demo version of PSE6 or PSE5. If you do not have one of these versions, they are converted as well your PSA catalog. Lightroom converts certainly PSE5 and PSE6 catalogs.
