Put pictures in the LR catalog without copy?

How can I put photos into the Lightroom Catalog, so that I can edit and organize them, without copying all the photos? I don't really want to have pictures on my hard drive as well as another additional copy of the same photo in the LR catalog. When I tried to import the photos my only options were to "move" or "copy" photos. I don't want to do either, I want to be able to 'see' and access, as well as their changes?

Thank you

If you point to the folder that contains the pictures on your hard disk, the Add option should be available. It's not in the cards or the camera import.

    Note that you can work with two screens and drag and drop the image to display on the other window.

    I think you mean working temporarily with the window enlarged image without displaying all the tools and panels.

    See:

    Panels and bins in Photoshop Elements

    My advice: take the time to read the above help and especially to look at ways to maximize this window if you are on Mac or Win.

    Set your preferences in the Edit menu to "allow the floating windows in expert mode.

    Use the "tab" on the keyboard key to hide or show your panels and tools quickly.

  • How can I put pictures in the most recent at the top of the screen while I scroll more recent instead of to the top?

    How can I put pictures in the most recent at the top of the screen while I scroll more recent instead of to the top?

    The album "All Photos" can only be sorted by date, oldest first.

    But you can create your own album of all the Photos in a smart album, which keeps all the photoss. A custom Smarta album can be sorted in descending order, most recent photos first.

    My album ' my photo all the "custom is defined as: a rule 'Date is after', with a date range beginning well before the oldest photo in the library, then everything will be included, and I added a"Photo is not hidden,"so hidden photos will be excluded.

    To sort descending album ctrl-click in the sidebar and value 'out' 'Keep sorted by date, most recent first':

  • Export a Collection new catalog WITHOUT copy/move the files?

    Hello everyone.  I use LR 5.5 on Windows 8.1 and currently having all my images in one catalog. My goal is to separate my images in 3 catalogues separate, based on the object WITHOUT moving/copying files to the location of the existing file structure.

    I organized all the images in 3 different collections in the catalog.  When you select the images in a collection and using the function «Export as catalog...» ", LR still wants to copy the images to the folder that contains the new catalog.  As part of my work, I voluntarily my structure of files organized into a structure of YYYY-MM-DD files on several disks.  I have no desire to move away from this structure.  Instead, I just want LR to create a new database of catalogue with all the metadata associated with the images that I export... including the current location of the files.

    Is - it possible and, if so, how do I remove?  I tried to go on the road to simply duplicate the file *.lrcat a different name and then by deleting items in some catalogs, but which is problematic with the index errors, etc.  I'd rather widely the approach 'additive' anyway to try to keep things as clean as possible with little effort.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When you run the file > export as catalog command, there is an option to include the negatives. Make sure that it is not selected.

    However, fragmenting the control of your picture collection is a recipe for confusion and I advise you don't not to go forward. With your folder structure, what makes sense, you'll find that each disk a folder will be controlled by catalog object, the next catalog B, in another folder a few photos will be in the catalog and some in the C catalog because you pulled a mixture in one day, and maybe some pictures will get in both catalogs with different settings and metadata (guess that is 'just'). Use metadata to organize photos, not to break your catalog.

  • Missing labels and pictures in the old catalog after creating a new catalog.

    I created a new catalog for pictures of the new year.  I use the same Adobe version 8 and the computer as before.  Then I imported the photos to the new catalog and labeled them.  I deleted all the titles tags keywords I is no longer necessary in the new catalogue.  However, I went to my old corset from last year today only to find 1: all the photos containing the tag under titles I deleted in the new catalogue are not there and 2:all tags and keywords are missing from the photos that are always there,  So basically, there's nothing the tag and most of the photos is absent from photoshop! How can I get back them?

    Thank you

    If the files are identical, they have reconnected.

    From now on, all I can suggest is delete the last batch import of files you imported earlier. And try to manually reconnect with their counterparts of the files on the disk. I know its annoying, but it's the only option left IMO.

    It is always advisable to take a backup of the catalog from time to time to avoid such situations.

    Thank you

    You need to modify the class, as shown in this screnshot, http://prntscr.com/2zychq

    In Modulestylesheet, check the

  • Can not 'put' pictures with the rest of the page w/CS3

    Since we switched to CS3, I have to 'put' all images separately, instead of all at once with ctrl-shift-u, or they don't show up. I checked the preferences and found nothing to change that. Help, please!

    You are prompted to upgrade the dependent files when you load a page?

    If no, go to PREFERENCES. Site > prompt on PUT/GET (enable).

    That is right. (that I don't never heard a

    With regard to the path: it's a way to do it. people can also use a relative path (just the name of the file to the same directory, the directory/file (also a slash at the beginning to start at the root of the directory.) Dreamweaver CS6, program used in my web class 2, also like to use "... / directory/file '... which means that building a case and then in a case nearby.
