Still using Lightroom2 and need help to save Photos

Hello, I currently run Lightroom 2 (improve to 3 soon) and I'm very worried about having my pictures saved correctly.  I use 2 external hard drives to store all my media and want to make sure that I have everything backed up on one of them.  I select the option when lightroom opens to save my catalog on the hard drive of my second, but all that happened is a small file for the catalog has been occurred.  What is a ghost of all my photos?  Is it necessary to physically copy all raw images from my main HD to my backup?  If so, how is the best way to do this?  An Advisor on the subject would be a great help.  I've tried reading other information online about this and have had trouble finding the answers I'm looking for.

Performed by Lightroom backup is a backup of your catalog (database) file only. It contains no photos.

Yes, it is necessary to make backups of all your photos. You must use a non-Lightroom method to make backups of your photos. Copy the works of photos; Another solution is to use dedicated software backup that can operate at night to save photos, for example Winzip (there are many others).

  • HP Pavillion DV6 - full reset and need help

    Hello, I need help with my HP Pavilion DV6 laptop. Recently, a virus was on the computer and I did the scan and difficulty. the computer was running a bit slow so I backed up the computer to my external hard drive. I tried to retrieve the disks of the computer but it kept failing. I did on the last attempt to put them on dvd, but when I reset my computer he remained in d; Recovery. I tried several things to get out of recovery. I tried recoveering for the final analysis known and save. I have tried the factory reset, and nothing has worked. I've done all the analysis possible on the computer. I had a disc of windows just to see if I could come back in windows and it loads fine, but now there is the problem. my computer is not the case, as it should be. My wifi is not available, and the implementation is somewhat different. Is there a way I can return my computer to facotry settings? My brother and dad have the same exact computer I do not know if you use it recovery disk would restore my computer to its original settings or not. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    In this case, as long as the laptop belonging to your Dad or your brother is exactly the same (that is to say the exact same model No., hardware and version of Windows 7), then their recovery media will work on your laptop.

    Hi Eric,.

    CS5 help is usually located in/usr/Library/Preferenecs/chc.487.../Local Store/Help folder.

    CS6 help is generally downloaded to the shared location, unless it is limited. In this case the folder above can be used to download help.

    Yes, the content setting in the Adobe help Manager offline, will work with CS5 and CS6 and help our customers.

    'Status to expired' usually means the State when local content goes stale, and new content offline is available on Adobe.com servers. Yes, a user can click on the button download/upgrade to update to refresh the content expired with the Adobe help Manager.

    Regarding the launch of CS5 product help, I'll need some more information to provide an answer.

    1. which product and version of CS5 is the customer problem.

    2. What is the status of help downloaded for the same product (CS5 or CS6 Adobe help Manager)

    3. is the user able to see help downloaded in the above files

    Let me know if you have more queries.

  • I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and need help setting up with CCC!

    Hello world

    I have a new backup disk (a disk of 5 TB of Seagate) and could use help setting up with CCC.

    I did in the past without problem, but I want to assure you of a few things:

      1. This particular drive has software available in a folder on the disk backup (w / the PC and Mac versions). But... I intend to use this disk as an exact copy of my iMac HD; It must also be bootable.
      2. Should I format the drive with disk utility? Or load the software to the CCC on the disk and just leave their only backup software?
      3. One last question: I also have a MacBook Air, an iPad and an iPhone. I want to save them as well. Should I put them on separate partitions, I created? Or can we just one big happy family? The last is best.

    One last piece of information: two computers, etc, were all backed up via Time Machine. My data the most important, photos, etc., are also saved on deposit box and/or iCloud on a regular basis.

    Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

    Sally D.

    Delete and partition the drive by making a separate partition for each computer. The iPad and the iPhone is useless their own partition because they back up using iTunes and would appear in the clone of the computer that you use for each save. Each partition must be the size of the current cloned drive that can leave you with additional partitions for other stuff. Then format the drive Mac OS Extended journaled. Do not install any software that came with the drive, none of this is necessary.

    I use a very similar setup with a 3 TB drive. I clone my boot SSD in a single partition, my drive internal 1 Tb in a second, my Macbook to a third party, and I have a fourth partition which is currently empty, because I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I also have a 3 to Apple Time Capsule.

  • Updated software and need help with what to buy

    I am a professional wedding/portrait photographer who uses photoshop cs3 with some additional photography actions in Photoshop.  I have lightroom also but that you not him have not used in years. I think it's lightroom 1. I shoot both first and JPEG. I'm interested in some other photoshop actions that require me to use Lightroom 4 or later or Adobe csmera gross. I also know my photoshop is very old, but it's not my priority to replace. My question is that if I get Lightroom which should buy Lightroom 4 and a higher?  And can I edit raw files in Lightroom 4 or higher, or do I also Adobe camera raw?  In addition, what are the links to purchase programs and are is only a compensation per month thing?  Thank you!!

    Adobe Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. All the technology that is in the plug in Camera Raw is integrated in the Lightroom program. Lightroom does not use plug in Camera Raw, because he didn't need it. But the technology is precisely the same thing. So I do not know you can say that Camera Raw is better or worse than Lightroom because they use the same technology.

    For buying Lightroom 4 or 5 of Lightroom, you will need to find a dealer that has the version that is available. Adobe sells only Lightroom 6, the last standalone and Lightroom CC 2015, which is the version of the subscription. Programs are basically the same, although Lightroom CC has received some updates of features that are not available in Lightroom 6. The subscription creative cloud is really a good because not only that you get all the features of Lightroom and updates frequently, but you also have the latest version of Photoshop with all the features it offers. Photoshop and Lightroom together make a powerful combination, especially for the professional photographer. And if you're still using Photoshop CS3, I think you would find that there are huge advantages to have the latest version of Photoshop.

  • Making the ear of corn and need help with the ball.

    I do some corn on the COB for an illustration and I need help with the texture of the ball. I've been slowly making progress with gradient for kernels mesh, but I can't seem to recreate the look of the ball at all. I tried to recreate it in a rectangle by using the option in the menu object (1 row, 50 columns) gradient mesh and I'm trying with the fusion in object mode, but not lucky yet. Can someone help to put me on the right track to make the texture:

    I've been slowly making progress with gradient for kernels mesh, but I can't seem to recreate the look of the ball at all.

    Tank,

    You have published three images stylistically very different. The first is photographic and call probably (but not necessarily) for graduates of mesh. The other two are graphical treatments (and frankly, they're both rather flat; lack of depth).

    Illustration style extends the range of cartoonish in sketchy photo-realism and all the rest. The problem is you didn't show your own attempt so that anyone can have an idea of what you're trying to achieve the stylistic point of view.

    I just need to put in place so that the final step does not appear the whole box. The problem now is trying to make the style of the good brush to reproduce the effect...

    You seem to think you have to build a kind of linear construction and then find a way to reshape the shape of each part of the leaf. Yes, you pouvez approach it this way, but Illustrator users has often tend to be what aunt Molly would call "too clever by half."

    Not everything must be something semi intelligent auto or complex and tedious consruct involving brushes, envelopes, masks, etc, etc. Much can be accomplished by thinking that he just thanks to measure you draw directly economic paths and constructions, which take no more time (often less) and result in very tidy, simple files. Again, a lot depends on what you are trying to achieve the stylistic point of view. But here's an example that only took a few minutes to draw:

    If the above consists of:

    Three roads closed, 8 points each, with ordinary linear degrees

    Three mixtures of open path with three anchor points for each key path

    Six paths closed for shadows / highlights, with 19 points in total

    Mixtures being directly from the paths drawn comic forms, the spacing of the veins 'automatically' and intuitively follows the width from point of view of the worksheet.

    Rather than to build a boilerplate brush, colouring and the weight of each of the three main paths of the vein mixtures can be set individually at any time, simply directly by selecting the key path.
