  Hello Sarika

  Thanks for your help.

  It's not that simple I thought he'd be when I used your method that whenever I tried to uncheck 'Use graphics processor' Lightroom 6 crashed.

  At least you put me on the right track and I persevered and found the file relevant agprefs of Lightroom web help and followed the instructions to change manually.

  I have changed two files with the same name but stored in different locations.

  Everything works fine now.

  Thank you once again.

• [Can I edit images in Lightroom on a Mac while I'm] on the road?

  I am looking to buy a new macbook pro when it comes out this fall and use it in my Camper while I travel in North America. There will be a lot of times, when I have no internet service, and I want to be able to work on my images on my mobile photo studio of treatment and have not been able to get answers as to whether if I will be able to work in lightroom on my lap top when I'm not connected.

  Yes.

  Lightroom installs locally on your Mac and your LR catalog must be local to Lightroom, which is the internal drive or external hard drive. Your images can either be stored on your hard drive, internal or external.

  If your main images are offline for a while, you can always modify intelligent previews.

  See the light travel with Lightroom Smart Previews | Lightroom training Laura shoe, tutorials and tips

  So it won't be much, if any, of the difference between the home edition, in the studio or on the road.

  As far as Lightroom is concerned, the only part of cloud on the Cloud version is the periodic checking of licences which can be up to 99 days between checks.

• How can I make Lightroom correctly handles errors on the function "Update DNG Preview and metadata?

  It is more of a bug report, but unfortunately I can't find a good place to put it.

  Steps to reproduce:

  -Produce an invalid DNG (a corrupt)

  -J' Iintroduce yourself in your catalog (replace valid)

  -Select the invalid image (or any group container) in Lightroom

  -Select "metadata-> Update DNG previews and metadata.

  -Wait until the heat death of the universe

  Actual results:

  -At the end of the universe, Lightroom has yet to alert the user and behaves as if the update is running (progress bar is visible but empty)

  Expected results:

  -Lightroom displays the same error popup displays for other processes as 'Validate the DNG files', allowing the user to see what pictures are problematic and fix them (by a restore from a backup)

  System:

  -Retina MacBook Pro 13 ", end of 2013

  -Mac OS X 10.10.3

  -Lightroom CC 2015.1.1

• How the metadata change by Lightroom and another application?

  I often get the message "the metadata for this photo has been changed by Lightroom and another application. Lightroom import settings from disk or replace drive with the catalog settings? "on the images in my catalog. I only use Lightroom to organize, add keywords, basic settings, etc.. On occasions, I take a picture in Photoshop to work more, it is exported in a TIFF or PSD file and the original stays in the catalog LR blank any other thing I could do to the image.

  I have two choices with this message: settings to use Lightroom, OR crush them to disk. The first time it has scared me, as I had no idea where these changes were and why the disk file was something different that lightroom catalog. I have all my metadata stored in XMP files. But I took the chance and said: replace the LR settings and didn't change anything on the sliders or the displayed image. I then tried a little saying 'Keep the LR settings', and again, I didn't see any visible signs of changes. This leads me to believe that they are NOT changed but things LR, they are somehow. But I do not see it, I want it to go away unless there really changes happening outside of LR (as if I went to the bridge or something...)

  Any ideas why this message? I just discovered approximately 100 images in a collection of images, I sent to the Agency in stock three years ago and have not done something with them outside LR since.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Users have complained for years about the fake notifications of metadata has changed.  If you are convinced that you do not change the file itself outside LR, then choosing settings Overwrite will rewrite the metadata in the file with the metadata for catalogue and (usually) to make the fake notification disappear.

  Unfortunately, LR does not tell you the metadata fields have been changed, so that users are left flying blind.  In my opinion, Rob Cole had a plugin that will tell you the metadata for the differences between the catalog and the disk file, but its Web site has been down for a couple of weeks now.

  ManiacJoe: My guess is that Photoshop updates some fields of EXIF data in the raw, for example the "edited with the software" file field. Given that Lightroom has probably already established in this field, it gives you a warning that something has changed.

  Interesting hypothesis.  I just tested with LR 5.7.1, Photoshop CC 2014, OS X 10.10 and could not reproduce the problem.  I have exported a TIFF file to a raw file that is catalogued in the same folder as the raw, TIFF edition and changed some of its metadata in Photoshop, and saved.  LR didn't report a notification of change-a metadata.

  In general, I'd be surprised if you changed x.tif in PS, it would change all the metadata in x.cr2 or x.xmp (moderately).

• Lightroom [how to manage photos with LR on the road]

  I have Lightroom CC and I edit on my desk. But is it possible when I (and about or travel) to shoot through and delete the photos I did on a shoot? This way I can work in the workplace. If I present also in LR might I also edit photos using these presets on my Ipad on the road?

  IOS and Android devices can only use the Mobile app LR which have a function of editing but don't like the desktop version of LR. Of course, you can load your pictures on 1 of these devices and shoot through them, delete what you want.

  As I don't use all LR mobile I'm not sure its feature set or if you can use the presets of same as you have on the desktop version.

• When I try to install adobe Lightroom, it gives me the error that it is not able to create a "Lightroom Catalog" on the network volume. -What it means and how to fix it? I'm on a Dell with Windows 7 computer

  This is the error that is displayed. I tried to create a new catalog when the option appears when I click ok but this error pops up again whenever I try.

  Hello

  This means that the location where Lightroom is trying to create the catalog is on the network?

  Could you please try to create a catalog on your local hard drive and then check, as the catalog is not supported on the network.

  Kind regards

• I bought and use 6.1 Lightroom and Photoshop elements 14 on disks. If I go the road CC, the $19.99 per month Photoshop includes Lightroom?  It says "AN app." Photoshop and Lightroom are grouped in the $9.99 plan.

  I bought and use 6.1 Lightroom and Photoshop elements 14 on disks. If I go the road CC, the $19.99 per month Photoshop includes Lightroom?  It says "AN app." Photoshop and Lightroom are grouped in the $9.99 plan. But there is no mention of Lightroom as a separate application in the list of options for $ 19.99. A little puzzled. Is the extra $10.00 just for the 18 additional GB cloud storage?

  The Plan of Photoshop 19.99 includes Lightroom.  I believe the plan of 9.99 has a less busy version of Photoshop functionality or some limitation similar to what get it.

• Lightroom cannot import this catalog.  The catalog doesn't seem to be a valid Lightroom Catalog

  Try to import photos from a different catalog by selecting and choosing the catalog to import since I get the pop up "Lightroom cannot import this catalog.  The catalog does not appear to be a valid Lightroom Catalog"I have lightroom 5.7.1 installed on both my Macbook Pro laptop and iMac desk top.  The two are running OS 10.10.5.  I try to import photos from the laptop to the desktop on a wireless home network.  Other than this recent attempt to import pictures, everything seems to work normally on both computers

  Maybe I tried to import about 800 photos, each of about 40MB, through a wireless network.  Most of the photos of the number were consecutive, so perhaps there was a /corruption of interruption in the process.  Anyway thanks for the help

• Lightroom catalog on the hard drive laptop

  Lightroom catalog on the hard drive laptop

  I do this thing, and I personally wouldn't recommend not INCLUDING for businesses. Lightroom (and it must be lightroom, because no other folders or files are affected) continue to add access or should I say changes the permissions for the folder of photos so the lightroom if running on the other PC can not find them. Its BS. He makes a fuss of your time each time you switch from one to the other.

• Lightroom does not start with the catalog stored on the network

  This text appears when I want to launch Lightroom after installing. Caution cannot read the directory named "Lightroom Catalog" on the volume of network "------PIS1------RedirectedFolders------." PIS1 is our server at work, but it is a working laptop I installed Lightroom. He also says that it cannot open the Lightroom catalogs on network volumes, removable storage and accessible devices writable devices.  I don't understand what I need to do? I have not received all opportunities to choose where I want to install the application, or where the images should be either?

• Import for Lightroom 4 old Lightroom catalog on the new Mac.

  Begins to import then it says it cannot import because of the unknown error.

  Sometimes I can get to import, but it does not matter the previews.

  All I want are the previews and keywords from my old computer to my new Lightroom so I can use my catalog of the archives.

  Help, please.

  

  The exported filed was corrupt. I had to export them again from the old computer, and then I used your method and just opened this catalogue directly instead of importing it. He just had to update the catalog, Lightroom 4 and it worked like a charm!

  NOTE: Just using the old catalog file did not work. Lightroom could not find previews while exporting the entire catalog of new links for previews. Thank you

• Relocation of Lightroom: metadata changed / conflict

  I recently had to restore the factory settings on my computer.  It was uninstall and reinstall Lightroom.  After this painful process, my images now have one of the two alarming icons in the upper right corner.

  I understand that these indicate:

  • pointing arrow up: metadata was changed externally
  • exclamation point: metadata a conflict

  Which ever I press, I get the same error message.  Please see the image below:

  

  Some images I edited in Lightroom only and others I exported to Nik or Photoshop to change.

  Whatever it is, I want my images to keep the changes that I made.  And I would do a lot to change so that I don't have these arrows upward and the exclamation marks on any of my images in the catalog.

  FYI - my Lightroom Catalog is on an external drive.

  I do not understand what is meant by "Lightroom should import the settings of disc or replace drive with the catalog settings"?

  Would be happy to help with this.

  As a general rule, all of your changes to the image and changes to metadata are stored in the Lightroom Catalog.  Depending on the options that you have defined, and if you have invoked some orders, changes and metadata can also be stored in files or in sidecar .xmp (for the raws).  So when you have restored your computer, as long as you used the latest version of your catalog folder, you have all of your changes and metadata.

  The icon 'Metadata has changed outside' means that LR think an external application changed the metadata from the image file after the last time that a change has been made in LR.

  The icon 'Metadata a conflict' mean that LR thinks that, since the last time RL read the metadata of the file, the changes to the metadata of the image has been made within the LR and by an external application.

  I think what happens is that the process of restoring your computer has changed the date of last modification of most of your files (this is the date maintained by OS X and Windows, whenever a file of any type is changed).  This change dates of confuses LR.

  Assuming that this is what happened, it is relatively harmless.  To get rid of the warning icons, select all images and make the metadata > save metadata to file.  If you have a very large catalog, this could take a long time to complete, and it may cause your program to backup re - backup images. However, to be on the safe side, I recommend making sure that you have a backup of the two catalog folder itself and your image of all files before you do.

• I have 2 databases I use Lightroom how to identify objects in one and not the other, I changed

  I use my cell phone as my computer on travel. When I come home, I transfer my data to my main catalog on my desktop. Sometimes, the files remain on my laptop and I made changes to some of my files.

  I was trying to identify objects through finder that I've changed since I added changed files from my laptop to my desktop. My intention was to identify the XMP files that have changed since I added the files from my laptop to my desktop.

  By analyzing what I see in the finder, I find that Lightroom data seem unwise. For example, is as follows the first line in the finder

  File: _MG_1180.xmp

  Date added: 05/05/16

  Creation date: 16/04/16

  Update: 16/04/16

  1. I've been constantly adding to my catalog when I import my SD card in my laptop. I'm waiting for my date added date should be the same as the date of the creation Date. Why date is later than the date of creation?

  2. to play back my 2 libraries, can I just move my files from one to the other xmp?

  Do not do this through xmp. Some elements are never written to .xmp.

  To do this through the sequence of command as follows:

  • On the laptop, in Lightroom, select the photos you want, then use the menu file-> export as catalog command. If the pictures are not on the desktop, check the box that says "negative."
  • Copy all the files created on the desktop
  • On the desktop, use the command file-> import from another catalog and point Lightroom in the laptop just transferred catalog file.

  Which leaves the question of how to identify the photos changed recently. Create a collection of smart with the criterion that the modification Date is greater than YYYY-MM-DD, where of course which is the date of interest.
