Recommendations for the Organization of the disk image?
I am moving in Aperture to LR and looking for general comments on the Organization of the image before you start the migration. Since the opening, I will export edited JPEG version final (with metadata), the image of origin (without metadata), which is usually a RAW or TIFF file. I want the original version, in the case where I want to re - edit in LR, while most of the images will never hit again. I intend to place the images in the folder structure as described below and use the import option 'Add' to keep the pictures in the files when importing to the RL. Records will be organized by "Year" with subfolders for files 'Final' and 'Original '. The hierarchy looks like this:
Folder "Images".
> file "1983".
> File "final".
> JPEG 1
> JPEG 2
> etc.
> File "Original".
> TIFF
> TIFF 2
> etc.
> file '1984 '.
> File "final".
> JPEG 1
> JPEG 2
> etc.
> File "Original".
> TIFF 1
> TIFF 2
> etc.
This body will allow me to easily find the original file in case I needed to re - edit an image (the original and final images have different file names). Will there be a major drawback in the use of this method of organization? For example, it seems that the images can be stacked if they reside in different folders. I thought 'stack' the original and final versions, but discarded the idea for other reasons. However, I'm not sure if I will create other problems by using a folder like this system.
Many of my images are scanned family photos dating back to 1880, kind of organization per year seems to be a good choice for me. I use keywords to group events in the year (1983, 1983 b, etc.). I'll create smart collections using keywords for the display, I don't need a folder structure based on events.
Otherwise, I could use the import options 'Copy' or 'Move' and let the LR to organize files. I don't know how the default LR organization works (in "import session or date?). I suspect that it is not simply place them in a single folder.
I appreciate all the thoughts about the proposed organization. I prefer to learn from mistakes of others rather than mine! It is quite possible that the good answer to my question is "it does not matter."
Thanks David
In my opinion, the only thing that works reliably is a simple year-> Date structure. Another thing is just a waste of time and doesn't complicate your life. It is the structure that Lightroom does by default when importing. It is simply:
2015
2015-01-01
2015 01-02
etc.
This greatly simplifies organization because it is always consistent and allows you to easily backup or move folders to external hard drives if your a resident fills up too.
It is unnecessary to have initial and final records. You only need the originals. Any edited image, you need is exported a lot faster since Lightroom when you need so you can make the size and format you need, when you need and it is much easier to find the desired image in Lightroom quickly to scroll through the folders in the Finder Explorer / in any case. The key is really well-organized metadata as dj says. If you the keyword you can find something quickly. Finding accurate and such dates is also trivial using the filter bar.
That said, Lightroom doesn't really care how you organize your originals so do what best suits you.

Make the disk image using disk utility and the message "Apple_HFS: 0" is displayed
I'm doing a disk image to try to work on that later. This is an image of a failed disk drive. Some areas can only be read, I know and the process takes a long time because of this, so I'm willing to be patient.
I get messages in the disk utility window that says "Apple_HFS: 0" and "Creation of image xxxx.dmg.
The disc has about 700 GB. I started it about 20 hours ago, and the blue bar is about 5% of the way, so not much happened.
I fear that the message "Apple_HFS: 0" means that the disk image is not made. I am concerned about the part "0". I don't know what that means.
I don't want to do it for days and days and find that there not to make a disc image all this time.
I realize that the fact that the external drive is damaged (probably damage) means that this process will take longer than normal. I am willing to leave it for a week so that he can make a disk image. But not more than a week because then it is not worth my time.
So my question is: does the message ' Apple_HFS: 0 "means something bad, or that the message normally during this procedure?
Apart from this message and the message "Xxxx.dmg imaging", there is no other message.
I think I'm making progress because the bar has moved since I started the process. For a long time I couldn't see a bar at all. And today, after spending the night, there is a small bar, as I said, about 5% complete. But it's very slow. It would take at least a week for the disk image to be made. I just want to know if the messages that I see are normal or not.

Recommendation for the configuration of the disk
Recommendation for the configuration of the disk:
A wide range of RAID 5 consisting of 8 x 146 GB drives?
Two arrayys of RAID 5 with 4 x 146 GB drives in each table one would be used for the data store, and the other would be usd to images of backup to it. The idea here is that when we do backup via the script GhettoVCB/o would be mainly on the secondary RADIUS and not the main data store. In my opinion? I think I have the only RAID 5 Bay with all the readers of 8 x 146 GB for a data store single should surffice. I don't think the performance problems will be that detrimental.
Do not hesitate to offer advice on scenarios, thank you
Engineer accommodation
ModusLink Open Channel Solutions, Inc.
As written before, depends on the type of e/s.
With more than R and W low, RAID5 (on multiple disks) could be very good.
But don't forget to also use a global hot spare, degraded performance a RAID5 mode could be dramatic.
And don't forget that your controller has a battery backup.

If you really want to use it for installation, you will need to extract the driver from the VMware Tools ISO and add it to a disk image.

Deactivation on the Disk Image Restore or reinstall Windows?
PS CS5 is on my laptop. I need to reinstall Win7 or possibly install Win8.
- I can first try to restore a disk image.
- PS CS5 can be installed on the disk image, I do not remember for some.
- PS CS5 perhaps cannot be installed on the disk image.
- I can do a clean win7 install if the disk image is not what I want.
- I can do a clean install of win 8.
The question... Do I have to turn off before that or not?
- If I disable the disk image already has PS CS5 installed, and I am concerned about the problems.
- If I turned off and the disk image doesn't have a PS CS5 installed or if I do a clean install, so I am concerned about the problems.
What is the best - way to go to get through these hassle of deactivation?
Dale
I would recommend not to disable. If it turns out that you can not activate your version restored due to current activation you can disable is more, you can be helped by technical support.
I had a problem by disabling flash pro that prevented me to activate an installation on a new computer and technology (via chat) quickly understood the question and did something that allowed me to activate without requiring deactivation of a previous installation.

Error Installer of photoshop cs5 "eject the disk image.
I use a mac but already owned a PC, for which I bought Adobe Photoshop cs5 about 4 years ago. I installed photoshop using the disk on my PC after that first of all, I bought the product and I'm now trying to set up on my new mac. However, the Setup program will not open on my mac because when I click on "set - up.exe" it says that my mac cannot open this type of file - which makes sense because I know that if I install on a mac, it should say 'install.app' on the file I'm supposed to open. This leads me to assume that I bought the product to download on a PC instead of a mac, I thought wouldn't matter because I know that you can download the installation program from cs5 photoshop on the adobe Web site, then I can just post my previous purchase of photoshop cs5 using serial number. However, when I download the installer from the website, open the "Adobe Photoshop cs5" file, and then click 'Install', I get an error message which reads "'Install' is corrupted and cannot be opened. You must eject the disk image. "as shown below.
I deleted the program installation and re-uploaded three times now and it comes up with the same message everytime I try to open the installer.
Is it possible to install photoshop cs5 on my mac using the disc that I bought for my pc 4 years ago, although I could not open the file "set - up.exe?
I do something wrong when I try to download photoshop cs5 on the adobe site?
Should I buy a new version of photoshop to install on my mac?
