not sure, instruments, file types and export for lightroom

Hello:

I am a new user of LR and new to the process of dam. I'm confused about something that is without doubt essential and fundamental in this process. My computer configuration is two internal drives (car and a working archive photo), as well as the external backup and burn to dvd. Using LR for image adjustment and catalog management (do not use Photoshop).  I will be the conversion to DNG on ingestion for raw. I add metadata loose on ingestion and then align the images in LR to rate images and making adjustments to the base image. These images are then archived that original.

Now, if I do work extra on these archived images (addl. setting of the image or metadata) these images would consider instruments?  If so, I would then go to export in LR to add (for example, masterfile, master.dng or .tif) file name before you send, for example, a derviative work file before sending it to the archive?

Also, if I send you these archival footage, but do not send email or web, do I need to change the DNG to another type of file (for example, tif)?

Finally, I have a few old jpegs on cards with media that I want to put in this process. Is there something special I need to do in the treatment of these images against dealing with the raw?

I read the dam book as well as reading through various resources online, but this process is quite confusing for a beginner.

Please answer at any time.

Thank you

Joe.

Lightroom is a non-destructive Editor. This may be different from what you have used in the past.

With publishers not destructive, there is no concept of original and derivative (except if you choose to use a 2nd program like Photoshop, it seems that you do not intend to do). With an editor not destructive, you make your changes in the Editor (Development Module), and these instructions are stored in Lightroom as a 'recipe' and not as a separate file on your hard drive. These instructions on your changes are applied whenever you use Lightroom to display your image (or whenever you choose to print from Lightroom do a LR slidesehow or make a web page of LR). The original is completely unchanged and there is no export derived retouched or registration. Therefore, there is no need to separate the original and edited photo, because there is no retouched saved. Additional changes in Lightroom are managed the same, original remains unchanged, your changes are saved and there is no picture derived or recorded.

The only time wherever you can save a copy of the picture is that if you wanted a copy for one end non-Lightroom, in which case you use file-> export... in a 'temporary' folder to a file on disk, then you use the file created for any purpose non-Lightroom you have and once completed, you can delete the file in the temporary folder knowing that LR can recreate exactly if you need it again. If you want to print from LR, LR email, or create a webpage of LR or create a slideshow of LR, you need not create a photo exported.

Jpg and RAW, and DNG is that all treated the same to you, the user. Yes, there are internal differences that are not important to your workflow.

    I would like to install the panoramic snow theme but shows like PanoramicSnow.deskthemepack file extension. Win7 does not recognize the file type for the installation due to the addition of the "office" in the extension.  would it be possible to have that corrected please?  Thank you!

    Hello PMacCk,

     
    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.
     
    Basically, the .deskthemepack extension is not recognized by Windows 7 because it is introduced in Windows 8. The new "panoramic" desktop themes all use this format.
     
    For reference, please see:
     
     
    There are still regularly .themepack themes available and those who continue to work in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Please visit the following link to download and install the themes:

  • How to filter the file type and size during uploadind files in APEX

    Hello

    I was wondering how I can do to validate the size of a file, before moving in my table? I want to filter the type of file, but for this one, I think I can use regular expressions in a validation process.

    I don't know if there is a way to read the size of the file, even before sending it into the temporary table.

    Thank you

    Bodart

    Hi salma,

    As far as I KNOW, you need to create a validation APEX (PL/SQL Returns Boolean or returns error text), which interrogate the details of the table apex_flow_files file. Here you can get the file type and size etc.

    So just to validate and if the validation fails, then delete the apex_flow_files and riase error message file.

    Kind regards
    Hari

    P.S. Please note that, if there are other validations apex on your page, and if they fail, always apex will load the file in the apex_flow_files table. It is sensible to create a validation (PL/SQL) that will trigger (condition) when online validation errors occurred. Make sure it is the LAST commit on your page in the sequence. And here you can write code to delete the table apex_flow_files.

  • Error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file' when try to play wav or midi files.

    Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.

    Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.

    Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.

    I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.
