Import of images from several CDs/DVDs
I generate a volume name for my discs by creation date (date the actual backup, not shoot date) and the number of disk for that day. This is the format: YYMMDD. # It is the label for the disk and volume name. On these discs, I have folders of images with the date of shooting and disc # in the same format. Currently, I have more than 300 disks that I created over time. I'm just starting to use Lightroom for cataloging all my images.
When I import images of several CDs/DVDs, only the drive letter, folder name, and name of the image seem to be stored in the catalog, not the volume ID of the CD/DVD where the image is. If I have images on several CD/DVD and several files on these disks, how can I know which contains the image when I wanted it back? I have between 15,000 and 25 000 images on disk.
There must be a way to do it rather than re - label each disc. Even in this case, it seems completely unrealistic. Programmers are legacy pictures or they expect photographers start over just because they have incorporated Lightroom into their workflow?
Also, is there a limit to how much the images to put them in a catalog?

It would work for you to score just the first image in each folder that represents the contents of each hard media? This would bind you to maintain this structure.
OTOH, maybe you can move to a much more flexible backup, HARD drive, giving you many more options. Then the DVD become backup backup.

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?

Old photos have reproduced after importation, the images from the camera
Original title: pictures were reproduced during the transfer of the camera
Hi - I clicked on import images from my camera to the computer that has been done successfully, but my old pictures exist duplicate? /? I had checked before hand on the help page - where windows 7 stipulate that
Why I can't choose which photos or videos to import?
Windows detects your images and your most recent videos and is not a duplicate of the old photos or video versions that you have already copied to your computer, so you can import your pictures and videos in a single step. You can then view and organize your photos in the photo library. For more information on the management and organization of photos in the photo library, see Managing your photos. You can also view your images imported into the Windows Photo Viewer, where the large preview format makes it easier to decide which newly imported pictures to delete from your computer. For more information on the display of your pictures in Windows Photo Viewer, view and use your pictures in Windows Photo Viewer.
To organize your videos, you can use the videos library. For more information about managing and organizing your videos in the videos library, see Managing your videos.

Hello
Did you use the functionality of Windows or all third-party software to import files previously?
Sorry to hear that.
When you import files, the same files will not be imported if the file names are the same. If you used a third-party software to import files previously, then the name of the file may be different.
You can sort files by date and then try to remove the recently added files however, you should recognize the duplicate files.
See the site for how to sort the files:

Flash expanding images from several Flash files
Is it possible to have an image (270 x 220) that contains 4 images set up in a grid, to extend each of these images more to click? Each would open a separate extended version in the little picture, but would be expanded to a size of 405x303px
Ticia,
I could do this by placing each of these small images within a single movieClip. In other words:
1 import each image and set each as a movieClip symbol.
2. set the size to 270 X 220 if different.
3. create a new movieClip and place each of the four images in this new movieClip in the arrangement you want.
4 write a function of mouse event to expand each of the four movieClips for the largest size.

I want to transfer pictures from my samsung intensity cell phone to my windows vista pc. the device displays Manager samsung intensity phone but says that there is no new photos to import when I try to do. There are pictures on the phone and there is no pictures on my pc. Anyone know how I can move the photos to my computer? also, my computer does not see a second samsung cell phone model sph-m340 called a mantra when I try to connect the mantra to the computer via a usb cable. I also tried to sync the phone but the incantation of samsung was not included as a partner of synchronization. is there anyway to make a cell phone a synchronization partner?
There is no drive letter for the samsung intensity cell phone. the phone is indicated under portable devices. Still, I tried to import images by hanging the phone to my computer with a usb cable. I got the same message that there are no new photos, even if there are images on the camera and any pictures on the computer. I even took two new photos and tried to import them, but always received the same message that there is no new photos. at the same time as I was able to click on Explorer on samsung phone icon and see the files on the phone. There was music files because I have a few songs on the phone and the other two files that I couldn't open upward, and could not understand what they were. I can no longer have files appear.

Import of images from Sony PXW - X 70
Dear community,
The Sony PXW - X 70 is a low cost professional XDCAM compact camcorder with 2 integrated SD card slots.
I'm running FCP X 10.2.2 on El Capitan 10.11.1, on a Mac Book Pro (mid-2014).
When I open the application with one of the SD card in my computer.
or when I connect my camera with the SD cards in it, and I'm going to 'capture '.
inside the app, it crashes.
No one knows how to do?
Thank you very much
Michael.
I don't know if this is possible, even after the installation of the video Pro Formats (one package
QuickTime Codecs available on this page:
The recommended solution is apparently not not to import directly into FCP X, but to use
first of the applications provided by Sony, which is part of the suite of catalyst, as
stated in this post:Re: Sony PXW - X 70 XAVC Clips in FCPX
The production of catalyst suite can be downloaded on this page:

import of images from the camera
All of a sudden when I connect my digital camera to the laptop, it does not automatically open and ask me to "import pictures using windows". with anything else, I plug in this dialog box are displayed automatically, but with my camera canon digital camera is no more. It was out of the blue, it has always worked well. It works fine if I plug it into my office. There must be something with my laptop.
I tried to set Autoplay, but no difference.
Whenever I have plug in there, the computer would make a small carillon, but now it's a blunt sounds like two - saying that access is denied or something.
