Lightroom creates a duplicate of my photos

• Export to new catalog creates a copy of my photos, why?

  I want to create a new catalog for some of my photos.

  I started by creating a new catalog called NEWCATALOG

  Then I exported the photos selected on an another new catalog called TEMPCATALOG

  I then imported TEMPCATALOG at NEWCATALOG.

  My problem is that when exporting to Lightroom TEMPCATALOG a duplicate of all selected pictures (original files). Then when I imported to Lightroom NEWCATALOG TEMPCATALOG imported the files but they are now pointed at the duplicate of files not the originals.

  I'm doing something wrong.

  I wish just to create a new catalog for some of my photos but the catalog associated with the original files.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  My original catalogue has 164 000 photos and Lightroom is very slow.  8GB RAM IMAC 27 "2013 model. Recent OSX Yosemite.

  Thanks much for any thoughts or help them.

  When you did export to a new catalog, you probably checked the checkbox 'include the negatives '. If you have unchecked the box, then you don't get duplicates and you do not get these other problems. Poor choice of words by Adobe, in my opinion.

• How to filter uploaded duplicate pictures in "Photos".

  How to filter uploaded duplicate pictures in "Photos" (in order to remove duplicates)...?

  Usually, Photos should you cannot import duplicates. It will give a warning if you try to import an exact replica.  You are importing different versions of the same photos?

  Photos has no tools to search for duplicates. You would need a third party program to analyze the library of Photos of duplicates.

  I can recommend these:

  • Pictures of power will detect duplicates, if the file attributes are the names of files, identical for example. See this link:

  https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos/

  Independent detection of duplicates, it is a great tool to use in combination with pictures.

  • PhotosSweeper is very versatile for find duplicates in a different state of the edition or the size. It will detect cropped versions of the same photos, or reduced in size, as it will compare the photo, not only the attributes of the file: http://overmacs.com/photosweeper.html

• How can I create greeting cards using digital photos now that Microsoft Picture It is not compatible with Windows 7 Home Premium

  My old computer has Microsoft Picture It and I was able to create greeting cards using digital photos to my computer.   My new computer has Windows 7 Home Premium edition and I can't access on my computer greeting cards or create new ones.  I downloaded Windows Live, but who does not have an option to create greeting cards.    What suggestions do you have?

  Hello

  There are many programs available online that may have similar functions as the image what it program.
  I suggest that you use your favorite search engine and looking online for a similar program.

• 5 Lightroom and the location of the photos

  Hello world...

  I plan buy 5 Lightroom.  I've never used Lightroom before.

  I have limited my primary C: drive space. However, I have 3 other drives in my computer where I put my photos.

  When I install Lightroom and try to organize the photos Lightroom fade copy or move the photos on my drive C: of primart where Lightroom would be installed. I have that rather, it wouldn't as I have little space on the C; drive and the photos soon to populate my C; drive. I like to keep my photos on other drives in my computer. Is this possible?

  Thank you

  When you import images, Lightroom does not matter the actual photo in the catalog, it generates thumbnails and does not change the images on the disk.  Finally, if you manipulate photos under the heading 'Files', then it is going to move, delete, or edit photos on the disk.  This feature is one of the main reasons I went from iPhoto and Aperture, Lightroom 5.

• Newbie question: how to create a duplicate

  In LR, he called a virtual copy and is available via the menu, under the Photo in the library module.

• 5 installation of Lightroom for the first time. Chose from the standard previews of the 100,000 + photos on removable hard drive. Lightroom has stopped creating previews after the first photos of 10,000 or more. Do not see how to start, he goes forward ag

  I think I did everything correctly. Moved the images to the external drive according to the instructions provided by Microsoft for Windows 8. Everything worked well. Everything else in Lightroom seems to work very well. However, he stopped just create previews of standard size.

  The little message stopped dirty left to proceed with the number of cases handled for standard previews. This message has completely disappeared. But now, a few days later, files open quickly to display full screen. I guess that Lightroom quietly kept their background processing. How will I know if a photo has a standard preview? It should open full screen in a Flash? Is there metadata to show the size of the preview. How can I be sure.

  By the way, thanks for the input to this beginner.

• Why Lightroom creates duplicate records?

  I use Lightroom 5 for about a year, no problem. I have someone has accidentally created a second folder Lightroom, and now LR has it filled with duplicate files exactly like those of my original file in LIGHTROOM. How can I get rid of him? And how I accidentally create it?

  A lot of people seems to have this problem, in many versions of Lightroom that dates back at least 2011.

  Here is a short report I did once I found out how to solve. I hope this is of use.

  Description of the problem:

  After that import new fotos Lightroom shows them to be in a new directory tree, with the same name as the original directory tree destiny/target - except the name of the directory is all in CAPITALS. (Some people report unfunded duplicates!).

  In Lightroom, there are two directories with the same content. Note that no new record is actually created, LR think that there is a (you can check with 'show in Finder'). So, even if it seems that there are files and directories in doubles, in reality they are all correctly located in the original directory. LR is simply confused. Happened to me in the LR4 LR5 all versions.

  This only happens with some Lightroom catalogs. If you use multiple catalogs, some may be OK, others not.

  Workaround to get rid of the capitals and directories in duplicate:

  In Lightroom:

  1. Update folder location of capitals in the correct folder in lowercase (right click on the folder of capitals, and then choose "update folder location")
  2. Lightroom will ask if OK to merge the two - say Yes.
  3. Now, everything seems to be OK, except that with the new import key file will reappear.

  How to get rid of the problem of capitalization for this specific directory/catalogue altogether:

  In the OS x Finder:

  1. Create a new folder with a different name (at the same level in the hierarchy of the old directory).
  2. Move the contents of the old folder to the new folder, delete the old folder.

  In Lightroom:

  1. Starting Lightroom.
  2. LR now can not find the old folder, so reconnect you the library in the new folder ("update folder location", as above)
  3. Rename the new folder in the name of origin.

  Later when importing no capitals directory will appear. (That's until LR merges once again - I was not able to determine what are the causes for this).

• Missing photos, folders in Lightroom 6 after importation. Lightroom stores a copy of the photos that have been imported and if so where?

  My nanny/photographer improved his Lightroom to worm. 6. She left the old version 4.4 on as well, so I think she just did a straight installation of v6. It has imported several hundred photos directly from memory cards in Lightroom 6, without copying the files on the computer. She was then abducted and subsequently deleted the pictures from the memory card. These records show now with a question mark in Lightroom, I imagine that it is looking for the files on the memory card. Bright room makes a copy of the files when they are imported or let just a pointer as to where they have been imported from?

  She also found with multiple catalogs. CAT 1 is a little bigger, then Cat 3, but the House of light can not open the file and provides the following error message: "Lightroom cannot use the catalog named"Lightroom Catalog"because it is not writable and cannot be opened."

  If TI LR retains a copy I was hoping they were perhaps in Cat 1, who was the first that was created.

  Thank you

  Someone has a misunderstanding about Lightroom and its import process. Importing images into Lightroom does not mean that Lightroom will ingest these images. The import process is one of saying Lightroom where to store the images on the hard drive. Then Lightroom keeps track of these images in this folder location and combines the image settings. If the images were imported in the usual way, they should be located in a folder on the hard disk.

  If you say that the images were just imported while remaining on the map (I thought that Lightroom who wouldn't) then if they have not been copied to the hard drive you will have images. Just previews.
