  OK, so that's my scenario:

  • If .lrdata [Sub-master] is regenerated automatically, where he gets all the work (from the preview files) that I did, when I was working, using the .lrdata [Sub-master] when he was on the local disk.

  Not because the LRDATA file is fair previews, what LR displays on your screen for a faster loading of the image and will be recreated. The previews only stored in the folder LRDATA is the basic overview created at time of importation for the display of thumbnails and previews of 1:1 for images that you have actually looked in the Loupe View or I guess that appears in the develop module.

  He get all the data to create the image themselves file extracts.

  If you have several files on your system that have pictures in them and you select one of them that you have not looked at in a while, you will notice LR creation of previews for these images, there will be 3 white dots in the upper right corner of the thumbnail. It's LR creation of previews for the thumbnail view. If you scroll quickly in the grid view, you'll notice a few thumbnails of images are gray, until you stop scrolling, then the upper left tile will come in clear view and the white dots will appear on the other images. It's LR creating previews for those of other images. Once LR created the preview of thumbnails that are on your screen, white spot will disappear. If you scroll down again, you will see more white dots

  If you switch to another folder that LR begins again create preview images in this folder. The total number of previews created and stored based on caching of the preview you have in the catalog settings dialog in the management of the files tab.

  If not, you need not the LR Previews.lrdata folder. Whenever LR is not very good this folder with a catalog he recreates it to store previews in.

  

• Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

  How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

  I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

  I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

  I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

  I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

  There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

  My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

  Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

  This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

• error. Cannot open the Lightroom Catalog

  Hello, I receive the error message: "the called Lightroom Catalog catalog Lightroom 5 cannot open another application already has its opening" at the opening of Lightroom. There is no other application don't use it. There is one file available, not back to the top I was download a catalog of 5.3 TB over the past 4 days and has not stopped. RAW files are sitting on a separate hard drive to the laptop where the Lightroom Catalog is. I can't access this catalog now. I had a crash before it happens... someone can help here?

  You must go to the folder where your catalog and look for a file with .lock extension. This file must be deleted, and then you can again use your catalog. Sometimes, if Lightroom closes abnormally, the lock file is not removed. And that's what causes this error message.

  My Lightroom does not. It is showing the message - failed to open the Lightroom catalog called Catalog Lightroom because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. You want to select a different catalog?

  It is a catalog that you created on your computer, or coming from another computer?

  If it is one that has been created on your computer, you can search your computer to see if you have two different versions of Lightroom installed. If so, then you want to open the new version of Lightroom by double-clicking its icon, and then you should be able to open the catalog.

• How to copy the Lightroom catalog on different hard drives?

  Can you tell me how to register my catalog of lightroom on 3 different hard drives? I have it only on a single HDD from now.

  Hi danielleg,

  Greetings!

  Connect your drives on the computer on which your catalog is present

  Simply copy the catalog and stick to 3 different disks.

  The location of the Lightroom Catalog is typically C:\Users\UserName\Pictures\Lightroom (Windows) and User\Pictures. Lightroom (MAC)

  Cannot open catalog in Lightroom

• Lighroom opens with a window telling me that the "Lightroom Catalog" is already open is not possible since I just restarted my computer?

  Lightroom opens suddenly with a message "you already have open Lightroom Catalog. Close the other version of Lightroom? Never happened before, and master windows task says I have no other lighroom open?

  The message says that you have an open CATALOG.

  What this means, is that the last time you used Lightroom you don't close properly Lightroom and he left the CATALOGUE in a State "locked."  Maybe the computer crashed, or you just turned off?

  The fix-

  First - find out where your catalog is stored.

  Open the Explorer/finder on your site CATALOG and delete the file that has a name that ends in "... lrcat.lock."

  Do not delete anything! Do NOT delete the file ending by "... lrcat ' (i.e. your catalogue with all your work!)

  Then restart lightroom.

  

  The .lock file is a temporary file that is always created when you open a catalog with Lightroom, to prevent several users the same catalog to open at the same time.

• Using Lightroom on a cloud with two computers / cities

  I would like to use Lightroom on two Macs in two different cities.  What I want to do is move the photos to a Cloud system files as Dropbox are working with them on a computer in A city then travel to city B and work on them with another computer.  I think it's possible if I also have to put the file .ircat for the photos I work with in the same folder / system of clouds.  Will this work?  Thank you

  Hello

  For the instructions, you can watch http://www.lightroomqueen.com/downloads/bookexcerpts/lr3excerpts/lr3sample-13-movingcomput ers.pdf.

  In other words:

  If not already done so, take care that your images inside LR have 1 common [great-(large)-] parent folder, e.g. as the default windows MyPictures.

  Copy on your new portable drive, as well as the Lightroom folder with the catalog and previews.

  Open your catalog on the external hard drive, and then reconnect the missing parent [-great (grand-)] folder to the one on the same drive.

  Continue to work from the external, hip drive on both computers.

  This gives you the plugins and preferences separately on two macs.

  But for those who you might actually use Dropbox synch, as Victoria Bampton. Its description on this use of dropbox is not part of the free pre-release material to read, but you will need to pass 14.99British book by instant download of the eBook.

• Is it possible for copies low-resolution export/print/extract of photos into the Lightroom Catalog offline?

  I store my lightroom catalog on my laptop, but all my original files on an external HD that I do not usually carry with me. I find myself wanting photos small (1200 to 1600 pixels long) by e-mail, download, etc. at this point, I am ready to export my entire library to 1200 pixels photos and store those on my laptop hard drive so I can actually use my photos without external. Is there an easy way to use a Lightroom previews to get smaller versions of the photos?

  A quick glance, it looks like that you just turn on the use of 'intelligent previews. This will allow you to edit and export when the external hard drive is disconnected.

• Cannot open the Lightroom Catalog because another application already is open.

  I hard a message that another application has the open catalog, but I have no idea what's open. Any ideas on how to understand what program it was open?

  When Lightroom has an open catalog it creates a temporary file next to the catalog file, which has the same name with an extension .lock. By default, the files are located as shown in the attached screenshot.

  If Lightroom is not normally closed the .lock file will remain in place and prevent Lightroom opening of the catalog said.

  With Lightroom closed go to the subfolder of Lightroom, and if there is a file with the name of .lock extension remove the file, and then try and open Lightroom.

  

• Cannot open the Lightroom catalog on external drive

  Please excuse the screen name. I tried so much to during registration, but they were all taken while I was sure that it would be available.

  I'm moving from a PC to a Mac laptop.

  I copied my drive whole photo on an external drive, which is what I use with my laptop. My catalogue and photos are stored on this external hard drive and when I try to open the catalog, I get the following error:

  Lightroom does not start with this catalogue. It is on a network volume or a volume on which Lightroom is unable to save the changes. But I have no problem opening an image in Photoshop so I know not the files being copied in a readable format.

  Ideas?

  Hi somedaymetalkpretty

  I suspect that your external drive is formatted with the NTFS file system, which is normal for Windows, but impossible to write in Mac. You will need to use an external hard drive formatted to FAT32 if you want to use in Windows and Mac.

  Beat

  PS: I guess that your catalog (.lrcat file) does not exceed 4GB, otherwise you would have a problem with FAT32.
