Import of files from an external drive their copy on my internal drive?

Hello

I am a PSE newbie and this is my first post here.  I have a question about importing files.  I store all of my photos on an external drive.  Importation of files copy in the Adobe folder?  If so, I can now work on an image even if the external drive is disconnected?

Will I receive an email notification when someone answers my question?

Thank you.

If Windows sees your external drive as "removable", when you call the PES file > get Photos and videos > files and folders, default PSE copy photos in the Pictures\Adobe folder (unless you disable the option to copy the photos).

Usually, only flash drives (thumb readers ' "), CD/DVD, cameras and flash cards are processed by Windows as"removable ".  But sometimes Windows confused and treats as external hard drives removable.  You can check how Windows is treat your disk by Windows Explorer open, accessing the computer and looking at the Type column for the reader.

    Hello.  Just got off the phone with OWC.  The fix was to use the DISK UTILITY to reformat the OWC by Partition, not delete). I everything copied on my OWC drive to another drive, partitioned the OWC disk with a single partition, copy the files to the OWC and this is!  Premiere Pro CC 2014 can now see my drive from OWC.  (My OWC drive is connected to MBP via a firewire 800 cable and an adapter of 800 to shot of lightning.)

    (BTW, I had to upgrade to version PP CC 2014 before PP could access AVCHD files from a Canon Vixia.)  Apple seems to have "conditioned" AVCHD files in such a way that the earlier version of PP creative cloud could not access the media.  )

    In fact, I don't think that smart insights do what you ask, although they could be a solution to a different problem. Smart insights are especially useful when the external drive is not connected (that has not been mentioned in the problem statement).

    In general, the workflow of moving pictures on an internal drive, changing them, and then remove the pictures back to the internal drive is unnecessary extra work that adds almost no advantage. There is such a difference in small speed based on the speed of drive when you load a photo into the development module that you may not notice, and it can be eclipsed by the time it takes to move the photo. Ian Lyons did a study and in most cases, the difference between editing photos on a hard drive internal and editing photos on an external drive was small fractions of a second.

    So my advice to you is just to let the pictures on the external hard drive, no moving pictures from here to there, not too much space on your internal drive with smart insights.

  • I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

    Adobe,

    I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

    I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

    Thanks for your help!

    OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

    You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

    Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

    Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

    Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

    Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.

    Winows meïdia player 11 won't import my music from my external hard drive whenever I try to add files, it just seems threw? How can I get my music in my library?

    The http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925718 instructions are for WMP 11 on XP. Here are the correct steps to WMP 11 Vista: (note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too)

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • New installs on Windows 8.1 and file transfer from an external drive, saved from death PC Vista machine

    Hi, my old under Vista Home Premium (32 bit) desktop PC is dead and has been replaced by a new machine Windows 8.1 (64-bit).

    I took the hard drive from my old PC and put it in an envelope and the files seem to be fine. I need advice on how to do the following things 4:

    (1) how to find and transfer of e-mail, including records and contacts (I used the e-mail program provided Vista on the old machine) on the new machine and I can't actually set up mail on the new machine to my ISP (BT Yahoo) first (I didn't click on the mail app yet).

    (2) how to find and transfer bookmarks/favorites of Chrome and the old disk to ie11 and/or Chrome structure on the new machine.

    (3) how do I transfer files (photos, music, documents, etc.) so that they are available for all users

    (4) I installed iTunes on the new PC, I want to transfer music files and album cover (I don't know how the album covers are found, and some are "home made" to cover the chronological collections of singles) from the old machine in the easiest way possible

    Thank you for all the tips and advice.

    Hi Tovoyer, I'll try to answer your questions in order.

    1. Transfer old contacts and emails in Windows Vista Mail

      • First of all, you know that Windows Vista was the latest OS to come with a desktop e-mail program.  Windows 7 and 8 do not come with any successor to the Windows Vista Mail program.  Instead, you can get it as a download in the Windows Essentials page option.  Windows 8 has a rudimentary base e-mail app, but it is designed for the Tablet/phones and the lamp.  If you want something that compares to Vista mail program, you'll want to get the free download of the essential elements in this link before you move forward.
      • After you have installed most of Windows, you can open the program (so renamed "Windows Live Mail" and add your ISP e-mail account.)  This will download depending on how your ISP provides email, all or part of your story by e-mail in the new programme, possibly negating the need to transfer anything from your old installation.
      • If you do not need to transfer your old files, navigate to the file / import Messages option in the Windows Live Mail program.  Choose "Windows Mail" in the list, and then navigate to this folder on your external hard drive attached:

        D:\Users\(your user name) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local records
        (replace D with the drive letter for your hard disk enclosure, of course).

      • To transfer your Contacts is even easier. The Vista mail program did not contact directly, it stores everything in this folder

        D:\Users\(your username) \Contacts

        The file present in Windows 8, you can simply copy (or drag-and - drop) your contacts from the external drive on your drive of Windows 8 (C:\Users\(your name) \Contacts) and it will be flawless.

    2. Transfer of Chrome Favorites
      1. If you signed in using your Google account chrome, all of your favorites are stored in Google account, ready to be restored without effort.  Just to download Chrome again, go to the Tools menu and connect you and your bookmarks should appear.

        If you do not use the Google account or had the sync disabled, you can still find your bookmarks.  After installing Chrome on your new PC, find the old bookmarks on the external hard drive file here:

        D:\Users\(your Name) \appdata\local\google\chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks
        (Note the bookmarks is a file, not a folder, but has no file extension).

        And put it in the same folder on your installation of Windows 8.

    3. Transfer of Documents and Photos/etc and put at the disposal of all users

    Simply drag - move the files in the folder "Public" user on Windows 8.  These files are shared by all users.

    C:\Users\Public (\documents \pictures, \videos \music, etc...)

  • You can simply drag the folder iTunes from the old drive to the same place in the drive of new (music folder of your user account).

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

    I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

    I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

    I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

    There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

    My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

    Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

    This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?
