Lightroom 3 guard manufacturing duplicates randomly.

Lightroom 3 guard manufacturing duplicates randomly. LR will make several duplicates of a series of photos but not touch others. I've deleted hundreds, but they keep multiplying. Why this is happening and how it stop?

Also, whenever I open LR, I get a box asking if I want to create a new catalog or use the existing one. What does that mean? What should I choose? It relates to the problem of duplication?

Hi Geoff, I was far back reading your thread.

A few suggestions more.

Re catalog: I suggest #1 is the safest bet. I don't know what a ".lrdb" file and the "PALIO... lrcat" was accidental I suspect by the name of the strange folder.

Collections re: you speak often of "Collections". Please understand that the images you see in the Collections LR Panel are only 'virtual', they are only links to your images anywhere where they exist in the files of the hard disk.

SOFRELINER folders with images on your hard drive, Collections (in the Collections PANEL of LR) are just lists of images that can be removed, changed, recreated without affecting the image files.

(It is preferable not to refer to files in the form of sets!)

I agree with Shootistbond007 - you have imported "everything" including images in backup locations.

If they are not duplicates, to bring the "Dropbox" images on your drive hard that you drag a folder (in LR) in the Dropbox folder on the Lightroom folder.  for example, drag 'Gold Coast' on 'Lightroom' move 5872 images out of dropbox and in the folder "Lightroom".

Keep on learning - always something to understand about Lightroom!

  • How Lightroom 5.5 find duplicates

    I know that the latest version of Lightroom 5.5 must be able to find duplicates or to create piles of potential duplicates.

    Someone knows how to do?

    Thank you

    You're better off asking such questions on the Lightroom forum, but the best way to avoid the duplication of is in the dialog box import where there is an option to do not import duplicates, there are some plugins which will also search for duplicates in your library and I hope that these producers submit modules, please ask them to do.

    Thank you

  • Music guard play/pause randomly and keep Siri activation with Apple earbuds in

    So about a month ago I bought a pair of new headphones from Apple at the Apple Store, they worked very well until last week, they kept turning on my music and stop randomly and activation of Siri. First is was not often, but now if that happens constantly, and it's really got on my nerves. I was looking through all the discussions, but they have had the problem with the Apple earbuds No. This is never happen to me before with the other Apple hear buds I've owned. I think I might have just gotten a lemon but I really want to go buy another pair.

    Accessories Apple are guaranteed for one year from their date of purchase, even if purchased separately from the iPhone, which in this case, they follow the warranty period of the iPhone. Feel free to contact Apple for support and service - Apple supported.

  • U2414H, guard turn off randomly?

    Hi, I have a U2414H and it has been switched off pretty much since I got it almost a year. Why have I not sought help earlier? Beats me. I tried the Dell technical support, but I can't seem to get the good product code and Dell system detects all does not work for some reason any. Anyway, it just completely off and I just have to turn it on again, but it was really annoying. He comes to stop randomly and it doesn't seem to be anything that triggers it. I'm not exactly the same tech savvy, any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    The cables must be fully inserted into the video ports card to work properly.

    Sorry but I don't have a cable of CDM on-site

  • Photo library on mac was emissions additional no duplicated and then imported into Lightroom 6 PROBLEM: all duplicates appear (capitan OSX). Help me with this please!

    I imported all my photos in photo library on macbook OSX capitan. The photos were additional emissions not duplicated using power foto and gemini. This in the photo library. After checking, I have 48,000 photos, 80,000 duplicted >. After that completely eliminate the unwanted duplicate photos I import to LR6 by drag and drop the trump card in the library. Then all photos, including the deleted ones appear.

    Any solution or another way to import? photo for mac contains all my data being sought.

    This file did you import into Lr?

    And I would say you will find the duplicate in Lr, note the file name and then search the photo library to see if you have multiple instances of this photo. You cannot use Spotlight; you will need to use another utility like find easy.

    But you are right; If you have deleted them permanently from the "recently deleted" album they should be in the trash; you could confirm that as well.

    And use 'Show in Finder' alleged images duplicated in Lr to see where the copy is stored; that should also give you an idea of why it did not work.

  • Import of duplicates with "Add" in Lightroom 2015.2.1 is not possible.

    Import of duplicates with "Add" in Lightroom 2015.2.1 is not possible.

    I have try to add photos on my hard drive for the catalogue of lightromm since the new version of Lightroom. But Lightroom says that are duplicates of already existing photo and does not matter to them. Yes they are duplicates that are in other folders, but in older versions, it was possible to slect or deselect 'import duplicates. " I can't find this option more. Where is he? Maybe you can help me. Thank you very much.

    Best regards

    Hi [email protected],

    The option to "Import suspected duplicates" has been deleted since the last release of Lightroom CC 2015.2.1.

    However for re-import images in Lightroom, you need to rename the images in Lightroom and then import them.

    Kind regards

    Lightroom CC guard crashing and freezing as I installed Windows 10. Everyone has ideas on how to fix.

    Hey Clarke,

    Please make sure that you have installed graphic drivers up-to-date.

    Also try to disable the use of the graphics processor to Edit > preferences > Performance > uncheck "use graphics Processor.

    If it doesn't let you uncheck the option then

    Go to C:\Users\Your ursername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences

    Note:-Appdata is a hidden folder. (Make sure that you have hidden files and folder unchecked in)

    Folder options)

    Right-click on the Preferences.agprefs 6 Lightroom file, open the file in a text editor.

    close to the end, there is a line that says useAutoBahn = true,

    Change that to useAutoBahn = false,

    Save the file and close it

    Then launch Lightroom

  • history of Photoshop in lightroom

    Once I have edited an image in photoshop and close it in lightroom, how can I open this image up in photoshop and see history or adjustments of front?

    You can not. Once the PSD is closed, history is gone and you can't get it back. You can save a log of the history with the file (in preferences), but it will not recreate the State, just to save what you were doing.

    There is a fundamental difference in the operation of PS and Lr. In Lightroom, changes are parametric, stored in the form of simple instructions that don't take up much space. For Photoshop, as a pixel Editor, each step must be stored in its entirety. During a session, that these steps are stored in memory, a certain number of steps back. But it would take too much space to keep history on the disk.

    BTW, the file is not saved "in Lightroom" as you say. It is simply stored on the drive just like any other file save. Lightroom just guard trace where it is and keeps an overview - and an account of their own parametric changes in the file.

  • 5 digit unique random number based on the year

    Hello
    I need 5 digit unique random number based on the year. If the new year then duplicate random number allowed.
    Thank you

    If only 5-digit numbers are needed you can extract some transformation injective (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injective_function) and you could easily check for uniqueness:
    substr (to_char (ln (sequence_value)), 10, 5)
    substr (to_char (exp(1 / sequence_value)), 20, 5)

  • Lightroom 5 installation keeps failing

    Installation of Lightroom 5 guard failed.

    Solution mentioned here does not, because my default installation language is English. The installation process stops and shows it is an error, but does not actually show the error message. The language of the system on my laptop is Russian.

    I had a trial installed before and now need to activate it with my creative cloud membership but for about two weeks I bought it and it still does not work!

    OK, so I contacted chat live and happy to say that it is set now.

    What they told me to do was faily simple: manual installation of the Temp folder. (I'm sure that this solution might already be out there, but I didn't at the beginning)

    1. to find the folder press Win + R to get the menu run. Then type %temp% , and hit Enter.That you will get in the Temp folder.

    2. here to get the Lightroom_5_CCM_LS1 and then run this file. That should launch the installation of Lightroom and (if you're lucky) it will install properly.

    3. launch Lightroom to check if the installation worked. Status in the CC application at first stayed as error, but later comes to have the normal value "installed".

  • Suddenely import duplicates - why?

    I use Lightroom 2.7 (and earlier versions) for years, and I've never had this problem before:

    Time "file/import Photos from device...". ' and ' file/import Photos from Disk... ". "imported * everything * photos in the connected device or the selected folder on the my last two attempts, even if most of the photos were double and I * was * check the box"don't re - import suspected duplicates. "  When I watched the catalogue, then I saw copies of the same pictures in the same catalog directories.  In each case, several months elapsed between the original imports and duplicate.

    In the case of the camera, I don't see how something on the image files would have changed.  In the case of the disc, it's a new CD - R which I transferred the images for the second time.  The images themselves have not changed, although the "Date modified" files on the CD - R has.

    Latest twist: I just tried to re-importation of the same images that last, CD - R (after deletion of the duplicate in first and this time Lightroom recognized them as duplicates (of those imported months ago!) and has not re-imported.)

    I checked the forum and found a similar thread at " " http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3287374#3287374 ', but it does not provide all the answers. "  I've been back up my catalog periodically, and automatic checks have never reported any problem.

    Any ideas? -JClarkW

    Well, no, the camera does not change the file names.

    This problem could be due to a corrupted preferences file. This file can go 'funny' and is then responsible for all types of strange behavior of Lr. The repair is to replace the preferences file.

    BTW: Resettlement Lr does not replace the file prefs, since it seeks to 'survive' updates.

    See here for where to find the preferences for your operating system file: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m - 4.html

    See here to see how to replace the file preferably: http://lightroomers.com/replacing-the-lightroom-preference-file/745/

  • 500-100 wireless signal keeps dropping out.

    I just bought a brand new office of 500-100 a HP to replace my self built the aging of the desktop machine. The problem I have is that the signal wireless guard stall at random times, could be 3 times in 5 minutes, could be once in 30 minutes. My router is a Wirelss 5953 method.

    I've never had problems in the past with signal dropped, my phone and pad remain connected and the old pc used to be ok. Is that because I bought this machine that things started to go wrong.

    The intensity of such signal indicated by the bar remains at 4 all the time, then no reason (well, I guess that there must be a reason ) a little yellow exclamation point appears above him the connection limited to words. to get the connection works again, the only way is to disconnect and reconnect again.

    Suggestions anyone?

    PS. It happened again I wrote this...

    Thanks for the advice, but I fugured it myself after some trial and error. At HP support online for an hour, they took control of my desktop computer and change a few things, but it was always the same. So, I moved the pc into the room with the router and hard wired it in, no problems for 2 days.

    So I then unplugged and relied on the wireless, once again no problem for 2 days. Hmm.

    Returns the pc in the original piece and it cooled down the signal DESPITE a 4 bars signal and only 5 m away.

    So... in this new pc wireless card isn't obviously a top model of the line.

    Bought a booster wireless D-Link OfficeWorks (cheap) and plugged into a wall outlet in the same room as the pc,... There's been 2 weeks now and not a single drop out...

    :-)
