Lightroom syncing between laptop and desktop

I did great, two-day studio shoot last week.

I do most of my work on my desk and for the first time, I used a laptop for this shoot.

I used an exteranl hard drive that I plugged into the laptop, and I kept my catalog and all my images on this external hard drive. I shot tethered in Lightroom. I did a bit of work to shoot, make a difference in the module development, cropping, and adding metadata.

Now, I'm at home, I have my external HDD still plugged to my laptop and on my laptop, I've selected all my images and 'Save metadata to file' (command-S) so all my changes would transfer.

A window appeared that said "one or more of these photos has changed in an external application. Need Lightroom overwrite settings on disk? "Then I have the ability to hit 'Cancel' or 'Settings Overwrite'."

I'm confused by what I only modified these images in Lightroom. If I say 'Overwrite settings', I lose information? For example, each image was cut out, but I would like to be able to retain access to the full image, and I'm afraid if I hit override the settings that I will lose it.

Am I crazy?

Ellen,

He is a long-standing bug that seems to get better, but never completely disappear.  There is probably one or two images that LR "think" have been changed from somewhere outside the LR and when you select all the images, it's just to tell you that at least one is in this State.  Unfortunately there is no way I know to sort or isolate the images with potential conflicts of metadata automatically except in the browse the display of the grid looking for icons in conflict.

I usually select less than all (e.g. 40 or 50 at a time) and keep economy until I have isolate the image or images that is in question, such that I save data to all the other images that are not in conflict first, then attack the error one images in time.  In any case, I find myself crushing data because I trust the LR database to be stored more accurate data.  I just want to know what images were at risk, so I can review immediately after overwriting the data to make sure that, indeed, they are good.  I usually use a temporary quick collection to isolate them.

The good news is that I've never had a result that required me to go back and re - develop an image.  The bad news is I'm still not comfortable hit "crush" after selecting images and just let it rip.  Hmmm...

  • How can I sync my laptop and desktop, both are Macs, using Lr CC?

    I recently bought Lr CC and I'm working on my Mac laptop.

Thank you!

    The catalog and your images on a disc external hard is the logical and the best choice. You should be able to just use Lightroom to open the catalog on this external hard drive and work on computers. You can check your read/write permissions for the drive to ensure that you both on both computers.

  • Purchase second stand-alone upgrade license LR6 not available in stores, is there a way for the user for a long time (since 1.0 more CC) to obtain a second license for both laptop and desktop?

    I've owned Lightroom since it was released when I paid $316,94 for her.  I bought the 2.0 for $103.95 update, then update 3.0 for $69.30 (on another account accidentally) and then joined the CC full suite.  Our Canadian dollar began to decline in value and I didn't feel that the subscription has been good value more, especially since I'm more a clean user of Photoshop and CS5.  I found that Lightroom is useful once again and so I bought last year updated for $88,48 USD and the product has glitches but I used it.

    Recently, I had to install on my Samsung laptop and found, I had to deactivate the license on my desk to use, and I find this pain connection and disconnection, since I do not have the foresight to know when to sign physically out of my office before I use my laptop.  Going to the Adobe store earlier, it does not allow me to buy another license upgrade for my second computer while the 'old' version of Lightroom was fine with me on my laptop and desktop.  I do not have a heavy user for a few years, but I start to have some interest in my work and need the laptop and the computer.  Adobe authorized a second upgrade license, am I expected to buy a full version new or I just go to Corel whose entire suite is less than the Lightroom upgrade?

    Again, I am mostly a Photoshop user and really need Lightroom to catalogue and cropping for final prints only selections, and it seems a little extreme that I cannot use my license on one computer at any time, why not the second?  I think Adobe is assuming we all have easy access to the internet and a wi - fi connection, and that Canadians want to pay twice as much for Adobe products as everyone else.  I installed two trials of Corel since they're cheaper reunited to form a new owner even a Lightroom update still less a total of the purchase, and so far they have integration with Photoshop and the feature settings of catalog, just I don't like not having to learn how to use when I already own another product.

  • Not allowed to use my premium production CS6 on laptop and desktop?

    Hello!

    I have already posted a couple of different questionsin the hardware forum since I am in the market for a new laptop. My problem is now one of the installation and so I post here.

    With respect to computers, I have now decided to wait the GS60 MSI (laptop) out, but since I do not know how much time I'll have to wait and I'm in serious need of a new computer, I went out and bought a used desktop computer that will do the trick in the meantime.

    Then I set up my desktop, installed my CS6 production premium suite, used the creative cloud (free version included in the suite) to download a few projects of my laptop and then upload them to my new desktop computer. Everything was going, until I got a second draft in first pro when suddenly a window popped up saying something like "Lisa HP uses the same series/number keys, please reinstall the plugin and use a valid/uniqe keys series/number" and then a red cross appears everywhere in my images.

    HP of Lisa is my old laptop by the way I use again, in part as a laptop school, but I also want to keep editing on it while I'm on the go. Even if it's a nightmare to do serious editing on it is perfectly fine for some easy Assembly, at the beginning.

    I was under the impression that I am authorized to install my creative combination on multiple computers, am I bad? Once I get my new laptop (May 6-12 months) I probably won't have to use a desktop computer more, but in the meantime, I won't be able to work on my projects on my desktop and my laptop.

    What I really need to uninstall the garment on my laptop to use it on my desktop? I thought that the cloud was all about sharing between computers and I was really looking forward to be able to use cs6 on my two computers.

    I spent a lot of money on my costume and I never exspected to have this problem, of course, I would be able to edit on my laptop and desktop computer, right? Or am I really supposed to buy the costume a second time? This really isn't an option for me, especially since it will only be for a few months.

    If someone could help clear this up for me that would be great. Thanks in advance

    Lisa

    If this is not software Creative Cloud then an additional restriction, is that you can only use one of the facilities enabled at any time.

  • How is it, my original keyboard does not work on my desktop, but works on my laptop? And my keyboard works for both laptop and desktop?

    Hello

    I have a desktop computer Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with an ASUS M4A87TD EVO motherboard. Recently, I have a problem with my Wired Saitek Eclipse PZ30AU keyboard: when I type, the typical button does not appear on the screen. In other words, the keys are unresponsive. The keyboard is turned on, if the office is enabled/disabled. Even if, at the time, while he was working, the light is always disabled whenever the office is off. I don't know why it is informed, even if the office is off.

    My wired mouse usb works fine. I even tried my USB adapter for wireless network in two USB ports, and I still have the signal, so I guess it works very well too. The on-screen keyboard works.
    However, I tried to connect the keyboard desktop on my laptop and for some reason, what works. I also tried to use a different keyboard on my desk, and it actually works.
    I downloaded the chipset, the driver M4A87TD EVO BIOS 2001 driver and a driver of NEC Electronics Corporation USB 3.0 controller. But first, I had to install the Akamai NetSession Interface. After that I downloaded all three files, I installed the chipset driver and USB driver in uncompressing them, by clicking on each file, by clicking on Setup. For some reason, the BIO 2001 pilot had only a ROM file, so I just deleted total. After installing and restarting the computer, the keyboard does not.
    I want to emphasize that, before even manually, download the drivers, I tried using WIndows Update to install all important and recommended updates. After the computer restarts, the guarded keyboard lights flashing on and outside.
    So, I ask two things:
    1.) how does my original keyboard does not work on my desktop, but works on my laptop? And my keyboard works for both laptop and desktop?
    2.) can I keep I have installed the drivers or uninstall them?
    Thank you.
