  Hi cjohnm,

  You can use the 5 Lightroom Catalog and improve it in Lightroom 6, therefor all folders and collections will be identical in both version.

  Open the Lightroom all holding the key Alt/Opt and select only the 5 Lightroom Catalog and it will switch to it.

  Let us know if that helps.

• Need advice. Is it necessary to put images in folders and subfolders with LR?

  It seems that the concept of spending hours to put the files in folders, subfolders, and sub-sub-folders is not necessary with LR. Creating all these folders takes hours, especially if you're like me and need a major reorganization of the Organization of the image. My thought is that all images can go in one massive folder as long as they are properly labeled. I can then use smart Collections LR essentially practically organize all my images. I can create a lot more sort options using smart Collections that I can by putting images in a folder. This goes against everything that I've learned about storing data on a computer, so I'm nervouse to head in this direction because it starts with unorganizing my files and remove all tags, so I can start again.

  I don't want to take it only to learn that I don't think a gotcha question. One drawback is that you are now committed to find anything using LR or tags only. What do you think?

  The folders do not exist. These are theoretical things. The operating system puts the files anywhere he wants on the disk, not even close to areas much of the time. He knows where the files because it has an indexing system.   So, if you have a c:\folder\pic.dng file and a c:\folder2\pic.dng file they are simply different names since what we call the path is really just a long file name. If you have saved the same 2 files c:\folder\pic.dng and c:\folder\pic2.dng it is again just another name of file and that's it, the same operating system and its index. The files in the same "file" will not be next to each other on the disk.   It follows that putting all your files in an important file or a series of smaller is all the same thing for the computer. If it has some significance in your mind, then put them where you want. It's of course still less difference in Lightroom, which is a database pure not concerned with the positioning of all physical, even up to what and where the storage media.  There is no limit to how many files, you can put in a 'folder', of course, despite what some think. This notion is a holdover from limitations of older operating systems and their capacity of memory addressing.  In terms of organizing files, that's what Lightroom for them and the keywords and structure should come from those and exif. Since these are incorporated into the files themselves and are pretty well standard, they will not be lost if Lightroom goes belly up. I can even read mine in several other programs that I use, so I'm not afraid of losing their organization and structure. And with daily backups of our precious files without fear of losing the LR catalogs or the other.

• Need a script for resizing images of Portrait and landscape without having to first sort

  OK I downloaded this great script: Image Processor Pro to create multiple batches in a single shot.

  http://blogs.Adobe.com/jkost/2015/06/image-processor-Pro-for-Photoshop-CC-2015.html

  It's great, but I still have to run a tiny drop to resize the files exactly 374 x 498 and 276 x 385, after I cut them it will be "worthy", but this was not accurate.

  Here is my method:

  I have original TIFF that I have edited, original images is usually square. (sometimes they are not, and I wish I had a solution for that as well, but one thing at a time)

  Since these TIFF I execute the script to save to 4 different folders:

  Resize to 2000 x 2000 and rename to add sizing file name

  Resize to 500 x 500 and rename to add sizing file name

  Trim & resize to 374 x 498 and rename to add sizing file name

  Trim & resize to 276 x 385 and rename to add sizing file name

  Here's what it looks like:

  

  

  Here's what it looks like once I launch my image processor:

  

  and here is an example of the files in the folder XS with dimensions:

  

  Which is great! But now I have to go to sort my pictures SM and XS of landscape & Portrait and THEN run another drop on them to get them to fit exactly 374 x 498 and 276 x 385.

  SO please tell me there is a better way! I'm almost there!

  If the version of Photoshop supports done condition and the condition is a conditional action as you can get without learing scripting. The problem, actions must be in the same action game and the game cannot be renamed.  Here action must be used after Image processor makes pro then the image resizing made tho conditional actions can add the canvas so that the document of the exact size.

• How to create folders and move photos in the image library?

  I just bought a new laptop and am new to windows 8. I downloaded approximately 300 pictures and they all saved in the library of photos in the same folder. I can't work out how to create separate folders or even how to move one of the photos. They appear only as a long line of scrolling which is a real pain. Is it possible to create folders and move the photos where I'm supposed to to store another app that sort of thing? Sorry if this question has been asked, but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Any help would be appreciated...

  the classic Office Explorer/libraries to manage the folder structure.
  create folders, to necessary, add to the library, if necessary.

• 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

• Catalogs and Collections

  Windows 7 and CS4 Production Premium, LR3, and Acrobat X I just got LR3.3 then this application is new to me. I currently use a non Adobe application for my image database management. My images are primarily associated with the work of genealogy saved as TIFF uncompressed. Right now I have 5716 files in 68 cases. It is organized as follows: the highest level is by family name (6 files). Each of these folders contain 9 other subfolders that represents the content of the image; for example, people, brothers and sisters, family, etc. Among the higher level folders is used to contain images that have many of the family name in the image. In addition to these genealogy records, there are other folders that contain pictures sorted according to certain characteristics, such as travel, scenic, trains, planes, etc. Using the current terms of the request, I maintain a catalog for each subfolder. This is a thumbnail of each image in this folder with the name and the description of IPTC caption 'title '. I make extensive use of IPTC metadata for each image: title, Description, title, keywords, and Instructions. I want to understand the LR3 catalogs and collections, and collections smart before you begin the transition to LR3. Q1: whenever I add a new image to my hard file storage folder, I have to add it manually to the LR catalog? With my current application, when a folder is selected in this application, it searches the folder changes and the new thumbnails are generated for new files. Q2: A smart collection seems built by keywords in the catalog in LR3 and the non-smart collection must be created manually from the LR3 catalog... Fix? Q3: When I create a collection of "key words" can parts of filename structure be included (not placed in metadata keyword) in building criteria? Q4: Thought to use a catalog in LR3 for my genealogy pictures and one for my non-genealogie images. Then use collections (chip or non-smart to determine) for each of my subfolders. His reasonable? Q5: Can I do a search on the catalog via keywords without a defined collection name? It would be a temporary Assembly of images only. Q6: Can I print the catalog, either a collection with the file name and IPTC (e.g., Headline) data under each thumbnail?

  What I wanted was to avoid a two-step process: place the image of the 'original' in a folder from the hard drive, then import in the catalog. I will maintain the architecture of the hard drive for several reason folder

  Well, this is not automatic, but after you put new images in your folder, when you launch lightroom, right - click the folder and "synchronize the folder.  He will review the matter and propose to add anything, there.   So at least you don't have to remember what are the images to add or not; a bit easier than to try to use the import dialog box.

  See you soon!

• LR is more sorting images by capture time

  Good afternoon

  I have been using Adobe Lightroom 2 with Photoshop CS4 without any problems.

  However, recently I got problems with the order in which to store my images is LR.

  I work in Raw and always start LR. From there on, I open my image in Photoshop before making any adjustment and then by saving in 16-bit PSd or Tiff.

  On the first save the format tiff/psd file normally resides in LR - IE next to the original raw and virtual copy. But now, when I come back to changes in Photoshop psd re-recorded file is moved to the beginning of the Lightroom library. The area around the image is darkened and against it, it has a message 2 0' and the phrase 'the photo is part of a stack.

  I don't understand why he did this and I do not voluntarily battery use. I want to just my images on screen, next to each other for ease of use.

  All my photos are sorted by capture time and even if the files in question are the good time he still does not stop Lightroom to place upstairs, out where it should be.

  It is not a huge problem, but it's quite annoying when you have thousands of images in your catalog, and he has never done before. I restored LR for the default settings, but it did make a difference.

  Please can someone help.

  Right-click on an image in the folder or the collection and select stacking. You have the option to expand or collapse the batteries and also the ability to stack automatically during capture . With auto tack stack by capture time , you can select the time range for auto stacking to apply. It sounds like you have battery auto by capture time together. If you do not want to pile up time at all then this set to 0 seconds.

• Could someone tell me how to stop the folders and icons rearrange themselves

  Before I updated to El Capitan I could arrange the files on my desktop or in any folder in the finder, in order that, I opened I wanted and they would REMAIN THAT of the WAY. Now, folders and icons in the folders reorganize themselves, usually in alphabetical order, each time that I add, delete, or move something in a folder. This causes a serious pain for me and make my extremely inefficient workflow.

  I managed to stop the folders on my desk of reorganization by going to view > options > sort by selecting: None (thanks Mac forum) and I can do this in a folder if I want to rearrange things myself, but I seem to need to do this individually for every single folder and there is no guarantee that the next time I turn on my computer it will be always in that order. El Capitan before I could move my files manually on my desk and in a folder and if things got a little messy, or I wanted to start, I simply chose sort > by name and everything would be perfectly back to alphabetical, as a grid, on the right side of my screen, or in a grid at the top of a file. AND... If I wanted to manually move a folder or icon after sorting by name, I could still do it, without having to go to tri: No. Now, if I say sort: None, which seems to be the only way to manually sort the icons or folders, all of a sudden my own grid of files are everywhere in my office or mixed into a folder, unlike before where they would simply stay in a grid in alphabetical order, making it much easier to find things when manually reorganize. In my workflow, I need to be able to fix things and make them stay there, then, how do it works as before. Is could someone please tell me if there is a simple way to get things to work like they used to, when the only time where my files or icons arranged themselves was when I SAID to THEM, keeping in mind I'm not that computer, so if it's code, or go beyond the preferences or settings , you've lost me.

  Click on the desktop, command J > sort by none

  

• How to set up specific folders and import clips in their

  I want to create a number of files within an event in the final cut and then import clips dedicated to these files individually

  FFolders in the events hold no clips; they hold collections. What are import you, HDD or camera? If there is no way to assign the collections of keyword for them to a camera. If a hard drive you can use folders and marking in the Finder.

• Folders and files disappear from libraries, but are still in the original file if watched by digging c:-why?

  When I add a folder to the library he sews it is only a matter of time before the sub folders and/or files such as word documents. It just stop appearing in library view, but are still present in the "Explorer". The Explorer view would be if I'm going to the C: drive and drill down to the original location of the folder/file in question. I use the professional version. My wife has the same problem in its home version of Windows 7. I love Windows 7 but I lose patience with the file system.

  I solved the problem with "hidden" files The answer is a little embarrassing. When I imported my files in W7 in XP they missed to 'sort by date/time. Because they were alphabetically in XP, the order of the new date set match alphabetically on the first import in W7. I didn't know they were are more sorted by name because the order of date / hour now equated the name order. I opened each file the file sort order has changed and it settles at the bottom of the list that is logical, newest at the bottom. It seemed to me that I was lost files because they fell in alphabetical order and moving toward the bottom of the list. Once I clicked on sort by file name everything came back and worked well since. Sorry, I should have posted this a long time ago.
