Location of the camera raw cache on the same drive as LR?

I know that cache camera raw should be the fastest disk for optimal performance.

I was wondering if it should be on the same drive as the catalog, or isn't it important?

I wonder whether or not you will be able to detect a difference. My Camera Raw cache is on the same drive with my Lightroom Catalog program. But I installed an SSD. Once Lightroom is loaded and running, I couldn't determine a difference in performance. The program loads faster, but as soon as it is running I could not see a real difference.

  • QQ on Camera Raw Cache and why mine is empty

    Small question about Camera Raw Cache:

    Mine is empty. Always.

    I read that the develop module stores information about the pictures, it opens in the Camera Raw Cache, while the library module stores its previews in the adjacent LRDATA directory to the Lightroom Catalog. I also read that the first can be stored anywhere and are limited to a size specified in preferences, whereas the latter must accompany the catalog file and has no limit on its size.

    Why so my Cache Raw camera always empty? I'm going in and out of the develop module, edit, switch between photos to develop, see 1:1 and larger images to breast to develop, etc. Should not that cause the cache to be generated in Camera Raw Cache entries? I tried to move my Camera Raw Cache of preferences and I the size of the cache the value 30 GB with plenty of space on the disk, but it is always empty.

    The Camera Raw cache entries consist of a few early demosaiced and partially processed data which gives a head start when loading the image in the develop module. But ultimately, it is the original and complete file that is finally loaded once the raw conversion and a modifiable built and displayed real-time preview. This happens whenever you load a picture to develop. A Jpeg file is little different in the way it is loaded, i.e. the complete original of the file is read each time and the real-time preview generated, except that as there is no raw conversion to do it are obviously didn't need at this time for this entry cache to exist. There is no file of 'internal' which was held to facilitate the process of development, the LRDATA extracts are mainly for use in the library only.

  • Curious question about previews of Lightroom and Camera Raw Cache

    Posted in the Flickr Lightroom group as well:

    I noticed something on the previews of Lightroom (3.6) and cache Camera Raw, intrigued me.

    I create a new, empty catalog, and purge the Cache of Camera Raw.

    Then I import ONE Nikon (NEF) RAW file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 mega pixels - 10,036,224).

    Then I export this NEF file to a TIFF 8-bit file uncompressed. You can expect this file size TIFF about 30 MB (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is size of 30,135,830 bytes. If you export the TIFF file same ZIP compression to specify the size of the resulting file is 10,834,038 bytes. The compression achieved here is obviously going to be highly specific to the image, but so far no surprises.

    When you import I said make 1:1 previews and I spend in the Loupe and see the whole picture in the format 1:1. I also visit the development module and do a lot of manipulation on the image but not cropping.

    At the conclusion of all this, I got out of Lightroom and examine file camera Raw Cache as well as previews of Lightroom file size. It would be my expectation that the previews folder should have a complete image rendering and Camera Raw Cache should also have a display form of raw data. What do you expect the size of these respective folders to be?

    Indeed - in my tests that the previews folder totals a simple 1 675 264 bytes and Camera Raw Cache that contains an image DAT file cached one is simply 267 374 bytes. This doesn't seem like enough bits to preserve the image rendered, nor there at - it an image is full-size, nestled in the actual catalog - the file is not large enough to hold that. And yet I can use the magnifying glass to the format 1:1 mode and move an image to the image without loading delays (even when you import multiple files).

    I wonder if I missed something obvious in my analysis and that, if someone might not care to speculate on what magic Adobe's practice here. Even if grant us them special algorithms to compress their insights that I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much larger than the file ZIP compressed TIFF realizes.

    And for those who might think to ask - I have told these experiences with multiple raw images and on MAC or PC platforms.

    I look forward to answers or interesting theories or maybe someone could reproduce the results of the experiment and report.

    The previews in the preview cache are JPEG files. JPEG compression is much more effective than the lossless zip compression. No magic here.

    Mr. Chan is obviously the expert on regards to the Camera Raw Cache.

  • The same drive letter may point to different locations for different processes?

    The same drive letter may point to different locations for different processes?

    Our users have the E: drive mapped to one place. But I need a scheduled task in order to use the E: drive to point to a different location at the same time, without affecting the mapping of moose for logged in users.

    There is no work around this need of ours. This is because users are working 24 X 7 update of our data files on the E: drive, and a log file is made. We plan prevent users for a minute every night while move us / save the log file and then allow users of the resume and allow a new log file to create. Then take the saved log file and apply it to a real set of monthly backup of data files, so the backup files will be ready for a recovery after disaster. The program that applies the transactions recorded in the data files is able to apply operations to files that are considered as being in the same exact location.

    I know that's not possible without resorting to the application logs a set of files on a completely different machine. But I ask.

    Thank you

  • You can move a project to another location on the same hard drive?

    Hello!

    My project files in the htdocs of the Apache Server, however I recently had to install XAMPP and which meant a new copy of Apache placed in a different location on the same hard drive.     I would spend my projects in this same place.   Dreamweaver allows you to do this easily?

    It is an ideal location for the test on my Apache server.

    I could just move the files, but I don't know how Dreamweaver will react.

    Thanks for all your comments!

    Absolutely,.

    Just move them to your regular Windows Explorer or anything on a Mac. Then change your site definition to point to the new location.

  • How to make a portable USB drive use the same drive letter all the time

    Original title:

    I have many removable hard drives from Toshiba.  Use them for photography.  I usually connect simply, transfer photos from the DSLR camera (images raw, very big, not a camera point/rod).  When I plug in, computer automatically selects a player... F, g, H: by M or N.

    Then, I use Adobe Lightroom for adjustments.  Once they are imported into Lightroom it keeps track of this record, they were on.

    PROBLEM:

    If I unplug the removable hard drive, plug in at a later date, computer can randomly choose a different example M instead of H letter.
    LightRoom is so impossible to find photos/images.  I would then have to re - import and start any setting completely from the beginning.

    Question:
    How to direct the computer to select the same drive when I plug in a removable hard drive.

    Plug in a hard drive removable, computer selects H:, can I import into LightRoom, I disconnect the removable hard drive, a week later I want to make adjustments more photography, connect the removable hard drive and FORCE/DIRECT COMPUTER TO SELECT H: AGAIN (or whatever of the original letter was).

    Hope it makes sense.

  • I have win xp SP3 installed on my PC. I use several external hard drives to store video files. How can I make sure that they maintain the same drive letter, every time that I connect them?

    All these hard disks are connected via the USB ports, but not all of them are connected at the same time. I use Adobe first Elements to edit videos, & if I open an adobe project it is expected that the video files will always be under the same drive letter.

    Have you tried to assign drive letters using disk management?
    Mount your drive, then

    Start-> Run-> "diskmgmt.msc".

    Find your player in the list, right-click on it and select "change drive letter and paths...". »

    Open disk management, find the drive using the drive letter you want to use, change the drive letter of this to 'Z', find the new drive, change the drive letter that you want, and then change the drive letter of the drive you have labeled it 'Z' to a drive letter of your taste.

  • I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter t

    Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

    Import and export and rendering speed depends on the CPU. The disk contributes only a negligible amount to import and export and rendering speed. You would spend more time to pass the photos that you would gain in speed.
