Moved accidentally LR5 and LR catalog is no longer recognizes it
When I installed everything first LR I realized the catalog to reside on the desktop. I have recently authorized the Office of excessive items and inadvertently moved the catalog folder to another location. Realizing the problem after shooting to the top of LR, I put back it but now LR is no longer recognizes it. Help, please
Yes, as mentioned by dj-paige, you seem to have ended up in a catalog of evil.
You need to browse Finder / Windows Explorer and navigate to the location of your main catalog and load it from there manually.

Because my computer laptop isn 't compatible with Lightroom CC, I LR5 on my laptop and the CRD on my desk, but I want to synchronize the catalog using Dropbox. CRD has made a new catalogue, however. LR5 and LRCC is possible to work together in this way?
Hi ianG58
I have regrets, but no. LR5 is not able to work with a catalog of CRD and vice versa.
Kind regards

I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared. Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?
The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.
Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

Moving files not in the catalog
I want to move my images and LR catalog on an external drive. I have a question before I try it though.
I have LR, a folder structure such that it resembles the following:
My pictures-> our Stuff-> family-> family-originals
My pictures-> our Stuff-> friends-> friends-originals
My pictures-> our Stuff-> travel-> Portugal-> Portugal-originals
etc.
And I have imported only the image files of the "family-Originals'"Friends-originals"and"Portugal-originals"(Jose where to store RAW files) in my LR catalog and I store images processed records parent 'Family', 'Friends' and 'Portugal' (which is a structure of remnant of my time pre - LR).
So, since I drag to a different drive, Our Stuff will be in LR, all folders and files are transferred, in addition to the files in the catalog, such as the files in the cases parents, family, friends, travel, and Portugal, which are the result of LR treatment but are not in the catalogue?
Thank you
Steve
When I need to move a large number of files I do in the operating system, and then in LR I re - associate (NOT re-import) images. It's easy when your images are under a folder parent as yours seem to be (Our Stuff or my pictures). It also has the advantage of moving all files in the same folders that are not in the catalog. Here are the steps.
1. go to the settings of your catalog and choose to save the next time you quit LR and then quit LR to create a recent backup of your catalog. Also make sure you have a good backup (or two) of the image files. Remember that the catalog does NOT contain your images and a backup of the catalog is NOT a backup of your image files.
2. with LR does not, copy the folder (Our Stuff or MyPictures in your example) relative to its new location. Now, you will have files in the same folder structure (this is important) in both places.
3. now start LR. If the parent folder does not click with the right button on any folder and choose "show parent folder." Once the parent folder's display, right-click on it and choose "Update folder location" and choose the new location of the parent folder. This should re - associate this folder and the contents of all subfolders. You should see the question mark disappears.
4 rename the folder parent of origin in the operating system. This will break any remaining link LR can contain. If you have properly re-associate your files then no.? icons should appear on your records.
Once you are sure that all your images are properly associated to the new location, you can delete the folder parent of origin.
If something does go wrong, you can always return to your backup catalog.

Accidental block and report as spam
I accidentally blocked and reported as spam a request from a friend who has used an unfamiliar alias. Since then, I returned and accepted as a contact.
My question is this - is there the consequences of my having flagged as spam? Was cancelled by my eventually accept them? I was wondering if I should report to Skype or something that I would not have caused a problem for my friend's account.
Thank you for any help or advice.
Thanks, glad to hear it.

Firewall rules RMAN target database and RMAN catalog database
Hi, we are on Oracle 11.2.0.4 and we just build a new environment, in which case the RMAN catalog is located on a seprate from the target database server. I'm trying to figure if the firewall between these two rules should be two-way, so that the target database and RMAN catalog database can ping each other. If bi-directional rules in place, so what's the reason for this? I understand that during RMAN backup entries are made in the RMAN catalog database, but do not know if the RMAN catalog database must always meet target db. Thank you!
If you run the rman command on the target database server, it acts as a client to the catalog database server by connecting on sqlnet to the catalog database.
If you run the rman command on the catalog database server, it's a sqlnet connection join the target database server.
In both cases, rman is simply a client that connects to the two databases.

I am a user of Picasa for a long time conversion to Lightroom. I share photos with dropbox on a MAC, a Windows computers, storing images and the catalog in dropbox. I'm able to share the LR catalog, but on the second system images can be found as a prefix system DB files have different user names. Any ideas?
At the point of Lightroom to another location for photos, follow these instructions:

Note: If the catalog is constantly being synchronized to DropBox, you will most likely follow these instructions whenever you open the catalog on another computer.

I have LR5 and CS3 on Win7. Merge to Panorama worked perfectly until I had a crash.
I rebooted both now "merge to Panorama in Photoshop' so that 'Open as Smart Object in Photoshop', 'merge to HDR in Photoshop' and 'Open as layers in Photoshop' are all greyed out. "Editing in another Application" and "Edit in Photoshop CS3" are good and work very well. Still, Photoshop doesn't views ok on his own, just no longer in conjunction with LR. I rebooted LR5 and CS3 again, haven't installed update - no change. Any help would be appreciated.
J.R.S.
Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled both requests, and I work with original images. I probably have about two dozen panoramas before the crash.
Thank you, JRS

After you change the raw file in CS6, jpeg looks dull and has weird tinge to it. I tried all color adjustments, but the result is the same throughout, jpegs of LR5 and 13 elements looks nice and consistent. How can I fix it?
Make sure the jpg has embedded sRGB profile.
In what application you view jpg files?
The symptoms you describe are typical of images with Adobe RGB or ProPhoto read in an application that does not support color management.

I can't find my serial number for Photoshop Elements version 8. It came with a HP computer I bought in 2010. I recently had to do a recovery, it has been uninstalled. I moved since then and don't know how to get the serial number.
Please explain how I can get the serial number?
James, if it came with the machine and you are not registered, then you can't get it from the dealer where you purchased the machine. PSE 8 is now end of life and we have limited resources for the same thing, make sure you check the system requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements if you try to install it on a new machine.
If you want to upgrade to the latest version, you can check: photo editor, change the images. Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

Hi all the effects quite new based on im and the need to make a second 20 HD clip with a moving background image and the text it is flies in. I also need to create a cross-image basis. If someone could suggest the best way to do this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Your question is not really explain much of what you need to achieve. I don't know what a "cross image database", sorry.
After Effects is a fairly complex application, and you will get much more satisfaction if you start at the beginning and learn the basics before jumping in too deeply.
