OK to edit images in folders compared to Collections?

Hello

I'm a bit new to LR.  For most of my work, I import RAW images in LR and then use or create one or more Collections to organize the imported images.  Then I do my editing from a Collection.

There are some works, however, which is very simple and do not have the advantage of Collections.  For this work, I just want to import all the RAW files in a folder, make simple changes develop fast in library mode, then export all the images in jpg.  Once the work is finished, I move the files of my internal HD to an external hard drive and at this time there delete the files from my LR catalog.

QUESTION: Is there a reason I can't do all of my work editing image in the file, rather than create a Collection of all the images in my folder?  It seems to work very well work in a folder rather than in a collection, but I thought I'd ask because maybe I'm missing something.

Thank you!

John

John,

In the case of LR, you always work on an image, any view that you are using to see (folder, Collection, Collection of Smart,...). If you're still pointing to the same thing, simply different ways to arrange the subsets of things.

An Exception to the above: If you're applying pics / rejects, they only remain with the local image, which means that an image can be taken in a collection and rejected in a folder.

So the answer is: YES

    Hi Mike,.

    What version of Pages and what version of Mac OS X are you using?

    I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.1.

    When I open a Pages ' 09 in Pages ' 09 model, I can't select, edit, or move a background image.

    Context commands are grayed out:

    I can open it, but that makes no difference.

    And here is the Menu Format > advanced:

    Tested in Pages ' 09 with model selector > layout > Certificates > student certificate.

    However, if I save the document and open it in Pages 5.6.1

    And I can select and move a background image

    and resize

    and rotate, delete, just like the good old days in Pages ' 09.

    I suspect that the Pages ' 09 slowly loses features with each update to OS X.

    Maybe someone will call and tell me what I am doing wrong in Pages ' 09 under OS X El Capitan.

    Kind regards

  • Edited image backup

  • Hi, I am trying to save my edited images that are size 30 MB in JPEG format to send to print, but when I save they are lot to 5 MB any help is appreciated.

    Hello

    I have problems trying to save my edited images are sized at 30 MB + in jpeg format to the same size that is needed for my print lab. For some reason, it resizes them to below 5MB. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

    You're confused image with dimensions in pixels size.

    There is no problem as long as you has not changed the dimensions/resizing the image when you saved as jpg.

    Check the dimensions in pixels of the original and the jpg - they should be the same.

    To put it otherwise - size of the image in megabytes are not an indicator of the size of an image (the size it will print). Dimensions in pixels are.

  • Editing images in the library.



    Hello
    I am very new to Captivate and myself teaching on the fly. I watched the little available in Captivate tutorials and one mentioned that you can use the library for editing images in photoshop, and then automatically update in this slide in the Captivate project.

    When I open my library said edit edit with ImageReady. I tried and saved the image, but it won't let me save it as a PNG so I can't import into the library. I ended up opening the image in ImageReady, use it to send the image to PhotoShop, save is a GIF just remove the background of the slide, and then add the picture to the slide.

    This slide also had one click on the button with a text message to hover and a text message of failure that I had then to move to the front to show when you click on the page or hover the click button. It was a pain that I had to drive the background image, then use make before then bring the background again image and selecting all three components (click the 2 text boxes and the box) has not been easy.

    There must be a better way. Any ideas?

    Hi Nikki@work and welcome to our community

    When you right-click on an image in the library, that he opens with is often unknown. In my view, that the actual image file type determines which editor is used (assuming we have already been assign├⌐, which it can). But normally, you see "Edit with...". "as the only option you have. And once you choose that, you choose the editor desired. So even if ImageReady is already there, you should also be able to right click and choose "Edit with...". "even if she has been associated with. Then, open the image in the application of your choice.

    I've seen where once the change has been made in the other application and that you close the application and save the changes, the image is unable to automatically update in Captivate. But if it happens, it's pretty easy to image right click and choose update... from the context menu to synchronize the changes.

    It also points to something else that you should be aware. When you update the images that have been added since your hard drive, you probably think that you change only the images that are in the. CP file. But what you do really updates the image to the location where you inserted go! So if it is important that you maintain a pristine copy of the image, make sure you that you first save under a new name of file if you keep the original!

    Hope this helps a bit... Rick

    How to delete folders in mini collections Bridge?

    Can clarify you a bit on this one?

    A collection in minijonction reflects the collections in the bridge itself. If you do not see the Panel collections go to the Bridge menu window and select the Collections Panel

    But I don't know how you have a folder in this collection because a collection only accepts files and no record, is not possible to create a new folder in a collection.

    But maybe I did not understand you correctly and you want to delete collections named himself?

    If yes go to the collections Panel in the bridge itself, select the folder you want to delete and click on the right menu of the mouse allows you to choose 'delete '.
