Import of missing photos from an external source

Hello. I just moved my (rather small, 3500 or almost) picture collection from disc external hard disk my internal. Everything worked very well, for the most part. But when checking, I see that more than 500 photos (in recent years, for the most part) are marked with a question mark. Missing photos are all on a backup of my collection of photos, stored on an another DHM with a USB connection.
My question is, what would be the best and easiest way to restore my photos on my PC? I guess using the library/Find lack of photos and pointing LR with my backup hard disk would be the way to go, but I'd like a second opinion before starting, in case there is a better way, or this way of doing, it's all wrong.

Thanks in advance,

OLE K

(No, I don't want to speculate on what was wrong now...) )

OK, a question, these missing photos scattered in a lot of different folders of the backup?

If they are fairly easy to identify, copy their files using the Explorer to where they should be on the internal drive. Then make the library / find and link to the versions of internal drive. What I'm trying to avoid tip files in your catalog on backup copies - it is a backup, after all.

And maybe start with some pictures, just to verify that it is a practical approach.

  • 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.

  • Lightroom has deleted my photos from an external hard drive

  • Download of photos from an external hard drive

    New to Photoshop.

    IMac OS X Yosemite - Photoshop Elements 13

    How can I set Photoshop Elements download as opposed to import my photos of my external hard drives?  I want to avoid the 'missing file' & reconnect "."  Memory cards import all data: external hard drives can probably do the same thing?

    I found information on how to manually drag on but it does not work either.

    I don't want any of my eternal hard drives to synchronize with Photoshop, as they do at the moment.

    I read learning and support and tutorials but still impossible to locate any 'preferences' in this regard.

    Regards Tina

    Hi Tina, if you want to keep the external drive connected as a drive to work, then you must copy pictures to a folder of photos.

    Then use the menu of the Organizer:

    File > get Photos & videos > files & folders

    Then navigate to your location in images.

    Hi all

    I put Photos on an external HD and it works fine, but I'm fighting by downloading pictures from there to attach to an email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.. When the 'Choose your file' window and I select the Photos, photos of just HD are not displayed. I know I have to choose my media files in the menu side, but since it is on the external hard drive it does not show the. What I do so far exports photos on my mac once again, then download and delete eventually, but it's such an effort... Is there an easier way to do this?

  • Receiving XML from an external Source

    Hello

    I am using the HTTP on Oracle 11 g SOA Suite adapter to get the XML files in my BPEL.
    What is the right way? or should I create a Web service that accepts XML files and expose it on the Web?

    The external system wants XML files send us only by using the HTTP Post method.

    Please let me know

    Thank you
    On

    As I mentioned earlier, it's entirely your choice.

    (a) to create a Web Service (from BPEL Services) as a 'Service' and then create a WSDL?

    Sync web Services involves the request and response, and it is a real time communication. Immediate response is necessary.

    (b) should we have just an asynchronous BPEL that will become a Web Service once its on the server?

    Async web service includes the request and response, but the response may be delayed. No immediate response.

    (c) use an adapter like AQ, MQ etc...

    Adapters are used to integrate the diverse message with Oracle SOA applications/source. If you receive/send a message to an inhomogeneous system, use relevant adapter.

    Also, is it possible to receive without (FTP and SOAP message embedding) XML files?

    Many other ways like HTTP (rest) of the JMS, QA, etc. I suggest you analyze your needs clearly and on the base who choose a particular design path. You can also get feedback from the any SOA Architect in your org.

    Kind regards

  • I have an ERROR CODE 36 during the backup of my library of PHOTOS from one external drive to another. What is the best way to solve this problem? Also, what is someone used 'dot_clean '?

    I have a MacBook Pro that is primarily used for PHOTOS and use 2 external drives 1 for holding my PHOTO library and one for the back up. I have about 1 TB of data of photos. My back ups have worked perfectly since the establishment more than 12 months ago. However, I just got a CODE of ERROR - 36 problem which prevents the backup after that about 700 GB of data has been processed. I need to find a solution and I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that. I saw something called "dot_clean" on the web and I was wondering if it is safe to consider option.

    If the Photos or iPhoto is running, exit it and try the backup again.

  • How the hell is R100 supposed to boot from an external source?

    Hi guys

    Please I need some wisdom... I'm trying to reinstall XP. However a member of the forum here named Meier has posted previously that the R100 bios does not support so I'm tryin to boot from USB CD, USB CD-rom boot. Is this TRUE?

    Now, I don't have a USB FDD, just a combo of Asus USB CD player. Then how the hell am I supposed to reinstall windows? ! ? ! Any ideas?

    Hello

    I'm afraid it's true, you will not be able to reload the OS or boot from a usb cdrom drive, since it is not supported by the bios, the only way to boot from a cd is to use a cdrom pcmcia (with a 16-bit connection).

  • Is it possible to search for text in an Illustrator file from an external source like the Finder (Mac)?

    I'm trying to find some similar text strings on hundreds of files.  Specifically, I'm looking for dimensions.  4.50 "for example.  I want to see how many files have this dimension within them so that I can group them for production purposes.

    Is there a way to search for text in Illustrator (I use CS5) files from Finder?  Or another program of research?  I use a Mac.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated and would help save me a lot of time.

    Yes. While the Finder cannot find the content of .ai files, it can do it with .pdf files. If you change the extension of a .ai in .pdf file, you can use Spotlight to search by content.

    This fact, combined with a file rename utility as A Better Finder Rename, you can leave temporarily rename all of your .ai files so they end up in something like 'RENAMED.pdf '. Then, once you have performed your search, find all files ending in RENAMED.pdf, to delete the word "RENAMED" and change the end for .ai again.

    Of course, this isn't something you want to get into the habit of doing.
