Other photos reported export catalog

I made a small mistake... At some point, I accidentally marked all my photos. I have not noticed this and continue to do a lot of work related metadata. At the time wherever I noticed that everything has been marked, it was too late... I made many changes to make it useful to simply go back to an earlier version of my catalog.

So now I have a backup of my catalog with correct photos marked, and my most recent catalogue which I use with a lot of new metadata.

There where 950 photos marked, a little too much hand flag... Is there a clever way to remove photos that I've accidentally marked?

Maybe correct export with indicator of the photo, import of them which means that there are duplicates and then apply the indicator on the originals of these duplicates... I'm just thinking out loud. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe correct export with indicator of the photo, import of them which means that there are duplicates and then apply the indicator on the originals of these duplicates.

Unfortunately, when you import a catalog, you cannot import only duplicates of photos that already exist in the catalog.

It is possible to retrieve the settings of the indicator of the old catalog, but it involves a number of steps, and unless you are very confident in commutation of catalogues, using filters, reading and writing of metadata, etc., it is probably easy to make a mistake and still most living things.  Here are the steps:

0 make a backup of your catalog and all its photos (very important in the case where you screw up!).

1. in your current catalog, choose all of the photographs, disable the filter bar, expand all stacks, select all the photos and metadata > save metadata to file.

2. a copy of the backup catalog and open the copy.

3 copy, select all photographs, disable the filter bar, expand all the chimneys and select all the pictures that are marked by using the library filter bar.

4. do metadata > read metadata from file. This will ensure that the copy of the backup catalog will have all of the metadata and settings of the current catalog for pictures with indicator of development.

5. in the metadata Panel, select the preset in the EXIF.  In the user comments field, make sure it is empty and then define that it is 'XXXFLAGGEDXXX '.  If the user comment field is not empty, it means at least that some photos with indicator have a certain value in this field. So try another little used IPTC field of IPTC Headline or title of IPTC work.

6. do metadata > metadata record in a file (once again, with all the photos flagged selected).  Now, all photos marked in the copy of the backup catalog will have "XXXFLAGGEDXXX" written in their metadata.

7. open the current catalog.

8. Select all photographs, develop all batteries and select all the marked photos and remove them the flag.

8. Select all images, disable the bar filter, select all photos and make metadata > read from a file.

9. in the library filter bar, perform a text filtering "Any searchable field contains XXXFLAGGEDXXX.  Which will result in all the photos that have been reported in the old catalog.

10. Select all of these photos and mark.

    PS:

    You can move photos in one catalog to another in Lightroom. Photos of movement can be particularly useful when managing photos of shootings. You import pictures into a catalog on your laptop to shoot and then put these photos in a master catalog on a desktop computer. To do this, export photos in the catalog of the stem (on the laptop) in a new catalog. Then import this new catalog in the master catalog (on the desktop). See catalogues combined or merged using Lightroom 3 and using the catalog in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Import command by David Marx.

  • Lightroom CC smart Collections - keywords - bringing in other Photos

    Hi all

    I'm having some problems with Collections smart Lightroom - would really appreciate some help with this.

    I've implemented a Smart Collection using the keyword "windows and doors".  He brought in all of tagged "windows and doors" my photos but it also brought in many other photos that do not have this keyword.  I thought that maybe it's that he straightens out the word "and" which could be included in another keyword, but this is not the case.

    As far as I see it is the only criterion I have set for the smart collection but just can't establish why she brings to all other photos.

    Any help with this will be appreciated.

    Another possibility is to not use smart collections at all.

    In the keyword list Panel, hover your mouse over "Windows and doors" and click on the arrow to the far right. It is the best way to find pictures with a particular keyword, in my opinion.

    The problem by using a smart collection and "contains all the" is it does not permanently select photos that have the keyword "windows and doors", he can always choose other keywords such as (invents) "Microsoft Windows and back doors. But in another example more realistic, if I key words for "New York" and "York", all of which are two cities in the State of New York (Yes, it is really a York City, New York), and they have the name of the city as a keyword and the name of the State as a keyword, and then search for the "New York" with "contains all the ' there are pictures of the two cities." There is no ambiguity when using the method of keyword list Panel, you will get only the photos for the keyword you want. So if I select the keyword 'York' via this method, I only get the photos with the keyword "York" and no photos with the keyword "New York."

  • message error "the file is associated with another photo in the catalog.

    CC of LR, windows, photos on external hard drive

    Files that I was still using yesterday now are more connected to the catalog.  Try to locate the files I get the message "the file is associated with another photo in the catalog. How can I find and solve.

    Thank you

    This is because this same image, same time date and time of the device, is already in the catalog using a different file name.

    Conversely having not happening again is to STOP Renaming files on import or manually in the file manager or with another image, software.

    Each camera has a system that can be customized if necessary if you have 2 cameras of the same brand and model of separate file naming. And even then, they are separated by the serial number of each camera.

    What you can do is to import the selected files in a different catalog.

    A method is to select the files in the first catalog and move them to a new folder, and then import them.

    To keep the labels, ratings, notes, legends has use the function "write metadata in the files" before importation in the catalogue of the second.

    You can delete selected files from the catalog first then if you want (NO disk...)

  • "The file... is associated with another photo in the catalog" problem

    I have about 300 000 images stored on a disk in Drobo. Due to a hardware problem with the Drobo itself, I had get a new Drobo. I placed my old drives inside the new unit and everything appeared fine in the Finder. But in LR, everything happens with the "...". the original file is not found. "When I try to locate and correct the association I get, 'the file... is associated with another photo in the catalog. Each file can be associated with a picture. "There are not many copies. How can I solve this problem? Thank you.

    Are the files in the same place exactly as they were before your accident of drobo? i.e. the volume is a not the structure exact same name and folder? If Yes, you shouldn't have to re-associate the files and you should be able to double-click on an image and Lightroom it true already knows where is the image. If it isn't, you may need to stop Lightroom, disassemble the drive and reassemble and then open Lightroom again. I saw Lightroom being very slow to recognize the disk he thought no was not available was in fact already mounted.

  • I use Lightroom 4.4 on windows 8. Less than 500 photos on the catalog and the catalog size is currently at 2.16 GB. Lightroom works fine, but I'm taking a risk by leaving the catalog to grow beyond 2 GB?

    I use Lightroom 4.4 on windows 8. If I have less than 500 photos on the catalog, I do a lot of alterations and cleaning of the images and therefore the size of the catalogue is currently at 2.16 GB. Lightroom works fine, but I'm taking a risk by leaving the catalog to grow beyond 2 GB? Should I close it and start a new catalog? Thanks for your suggestions.

    Many local adjustments (brush strokes, spot healing) can have a huge impact on the overall size of the catalog because they are all saved as stages of the individual history and so I wouldn't worry - there is nothing wrong with your catalog. See my thread here since a few years back: which affects the size of the Lightroom catalog file? where Rob Cole usefully thought of it for me.

    You could delete the history if you wanted and that I'd be willing to bet that the size would be reduced considerably. That said, my catalog file is larger than 10 GB (as I do a lot of local changes as stated in the thread I linked to) and it causes no problem at all, apart from resulting in a backup of slow catalogue (my previews resume another 30 GB or more). I have not yet felt the need for the history of the Reformation, but doing so probably would increase my catalog to about 1 GB, so it's an option if size becomes a problem for me.

    My advice: continue anyway and don't worry in this regard.

    I'm 7 days in LR to the trial. After creation and 'use' to develop to edit 6 catalogues, I find without changing this or that all catalogs when opening, now have a bright red nail in different areas of the photos in the catalog. Some of the catalogues have been created several days ago and were considered OK, but now this 'red' hue appeared in all the catalogues without any intervention by me.

    I don't know why you create several different catalogs. Lightroom is managed much more efficiently using a single catalog. But regardless of this issue, it seems that if you have enabled clipping indicators. Pressing the J button makes the point high and indicators on shadow clipping or out of service. Or you can click on the small square in the upper corners of the histogram. Clicking the square to the left turns clipping shadow power. Clicking the square to the right will turn point highlight clipping power. I leave switched indicators so that I can identify areas that need to be adjusted so that I can eliminate all clipping.

  • File is associated with another photo in the catalog?

    Hi all

    I got LR4 running on a laptop computer and an external hard drive to store my images. I bought an imac and upgraded to 5. I also bought a new large external hard drive and copied all my images on the new drive.

    I created a new catalog and began importing images and everything was fine. Then I wanted to work on an old image and couldn't find it so plugged the old hard drive and there's DNG format.

    Now, I'm back on the mac, and most of my catalog went gray. I and exclamation mark in the corner! the nail of the thumb. It says it cannot locate the file. If I found the file nothing happens, so I try once Mithraeum locating in exactly in the same place and this time it says the file is associated with another photo in the catalog?

    My a few catalogs are a mess, I know. I don't really understand the whole import/DNG/catalog file, storage system. So I watched a tutorial on a combination of catalogs I want just one master, used on my mac, stored on my drive. So, I created a master and used catalog "import from another catalog. I've lived and all imported, so all of my images are in the new catalogue, but most of the images is still grey!

    I used the thought of plugin of duplicates which could clean it upward, but no, still the same.

    I worked on that a lot of my DNG files are on my old drive in a TEMP folder. I have to sort, move them to my new hardrive and bind them to the images? In addition, to solve the problem together "associated with another photo in the catalog.

    Then I can remove the old catalogs (such as a backup has been configured on an another new disc!) and I'm all clean and go back to sleep!

    Any help will be much appreciated and I hope to end my life of youtube tutorials!

    Thanks Mark.

  • Select "All Photos" presents all the photos in the catalog except one. Why?

    It is an oddity, I have noticed for a few years now. It causes me problems, so I don't worry a lot, but I'm curious.

    If in library mode, I click on "All photos" at the top right, then disable all filters, then press CMD - D so that no pictures are selected, just above the film, in the lower left corner of the screen, I read:

    «All photographs [X-1] x pictures»

    where X is the total number of photos in my catalog. For example, right now, it reads "11090 11091 photos." If I had to import another 50 images, it would read '11040 11041 photos.'

    It has been so for some time, as I said. And I guess there is not much difference. I wonder sometimes, however, if there is some photo of mysterious ghost somewhere, who does not appear for some reason any. No idea what's going on here? Thank you.

    In the menu bar, try Photo > stacking > expand all stacks, that is, it is possible that you have a stack collapsed.
