The LR5 LR6 to upgrade

How to import my keywords LR5 and catalog?

When you first launch LR6, it should automatically detect your catalog LR5 and asks if you want to open an improved copy of it.

All of your changes, keywords, etc. will be deferred.

If it doesn't, use file > open in LR6, orders and access the LR5 catalog.

    Aargh.  I don't know even what are my questions.  I bought the Premiere Elements: check.  I downloaded my purchase: check.  I'm CONFUSED now.  I am trying to achieve a montage which is the size of the postcard.  I found how to import pictures, but not how to make a collage.  I read the instructions to "seek" how to make a collage.  I am more than 50 years, maybe that's my problem.  Please help me to achieve this simple montage.

    Premiere Elements is a video editor. You try to make something of a video collage of your photos?

    If you try to make a photo montage in Premiere Elements, you use the wrong tool for the job.

    If you try to make a photo montage, there is a number of tools to do this in Photoshop Elements and the elements Organizer. Actually, the organizer has a tools especially designed to create collages of photos on the tab create. Have you tried to use this tool?

    BTW, I said goodbye to 50 a long, long time ago, pamela. It is really not difficult once you know what you want to do and where are the tools. You will want to perhaps by the book "Muvipix.com Guide Photoshop elements & first Elements 14", available on Amazon, which shows you step by step how to use all the tools in the programs as well as the Organizer.

  • Why the LR5 catalog is better than PES 12 organizing?

    Jim

    I started using a trial version of the LR5.

    I've been a regular user of the different versions of the EP over the years.

    In general, I was pleased by the Organizer, & have various tags nested in each other.

    I've never had a problem with it being unstable, and can usually find what I'm looking for.

    (provided that I have correctly tagged it in the first place :-))

    My first impression of the LR5 catalog is that it is not as intuitive.

    I searched online for how to install the catalog & most of the discussion relates to catalogues how to have. -J' have already made that decision - just one:

    So?  What are the features I am missing in the LR5 catalog that make it better than the elements Organizer?

    What do you think?

    I am also a happy user of the Organizer, but I also use LR 4.4.

    What I find interesting in LR:

    -huge amount of customization possible and options (if you need it...)

    -Ability to handle JPEG files as well as the raws (the Organizer doesn't let you open JPEGs in acr,)

    -Smart ways to manage variants without copying files (virtual copies)

    -The most advanced metadata management

    -possibility to merge catalogs

    -Much more supported by Adobe and user forums

    -Advanced options in the output in the latest versions

    What can be the subject of a debate, it's the difficulty of the learning curve, as well as the "robustness" of the software. The organizer has riddled many bugs (there were already several years before LR). The problem is that after having much more options makes more complex LR. For example, the database has three times the number of tables. It follows that LR forums are full of complaints about bugs or missing features... just because it's too rich and trying to satisfy the needs of each.

    Several cases of problems with the Organizer are related to the function of backup that backs up the images and catalogs. Catalogues only backup LR. Backup of images is your responsibility. If you have problems, it isn't for lack of LR, it's yours.

    I can't find a post I made to show the possible benefits of the Organizer, but it was just for fun.

  • Records that oozes out of the LR5 catalog in Win 10

    I have recently upgraded to windows 10 and records began to disappear from the LR5.7 catalog in large quantities.  When I tried to re - one of the records import LR added the photos as if they had never been imported...  All data of the edition has also disappeared.  None of the files have been moved in Windows or LR. Has anyone seen this situation before LR5 & Win 10?

    Looks like you open an older LR catalog, perhaps a backup catalog file. This would explain the 'leak' records when you work in LR, because they never were in the oldest catalogue. Who is?

    Use Windows Explorer to search the drive for .lrcat and see if you can find a more recent catalog file.

  • How to import items 5 catalog to 13 items?

    Hello

    Running elements v5.  I bought a new computer from Win8 and the Organizer does not open so I've (finally) upgraded to Elements13.  I installed v13.  I thought that I would easily be able to open my old catalogs (3 of them).  However, I have not seen that open.

    I can see the psa files in my library v5.  However, v13 don't see or recognize the people.

    I'm doing something wrong or that the ability is not a feature?

    I'm writing this, I'm restoring a backup of a file tly.  I would always rather open original catalog file.

    avguser wrote:

    So, looks like I've got maybe two possible paths to follow:

    1 re - import all images and re - use my tags

    2. run the conversion of the catalog of 64-bit and import/restore utility my catalogs

    Frankly, I can't tell what option is easier, better or preferred.  My goal is to return to an arrangement by which I can see all my photos in the Organizer (by catalog).  My catalogs are fairly simple.  Most images have been in a base catalog.  I was running on a 2006 help PE5 WinXp machine.  The catalog has ~ 30000 images.  It has been bogged down when I would look through the catalogue.  I recently created catalogue #2 for specific activities (e.g., Sports Kids) so that I could view and recover easily.  I have 1000 images in this catalog.

    My vision favorite is to see everything in a single catalogue and use tags to isolate them to look at a specific use.  I think that has a performance impact.  Any thoughts on the best approach?

    Thank you

    First try the conversion utility. Who must work and retrieve not only your keywords, captions, notes and notes, but also albums, collections, chimneys and the version sets.

    Of course, having a single catalog is the preferred solution, and I am sure that the size of your catalog will not create a slowdown with PSE13.

    The most boring on this subject, it is my favorite keyword research do not work. They follow my other favorites thanks to Sync FF, but they lose their functionality.

    Is it possible to import bookmarks from search keyword once again, or do I go through each site, I added a keyword for and make again?

    As well a backup of HTML and a JSON support save the keyword, you can use one of these to have a backup of bookmarks.

    I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. Starting LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38K stored on my SSD to form the LR6 catalog, but it is now 108 GB. Is he aware would be so much bigger than LR5 LR6 catalog? Should I redo, selecting the LR5 catalog to import to the LR6?

    I don't pretend to re-do an import, I do not import or re - import at all.

    You can delete the catalog Lightroom 6 and his insights that you created. You want to have the Lightroom 6 to upgrade the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Use the file-> open catalog and point to the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Once it is successful, you can also delete or archive the 5 Lightroom Catalog and delete its previews. As a piece of advice, never re - import photos. NEVER, as in... do not, do not, don't go anywhere near it.

    Regarding the size of the preview, you can control this in Lightroom under the catalog tab file management settings.

  • How to get the LR5 to show and to import a JPG file, I just saved through PSE 8 (go the LR5)?

    Hello

    The LR5, I edited a shot in PSE8 and recorded a few versions as TIFF (more that I need, but that's another subject!).

    LR5 automatically cataloged these TIFFs very well.

    But when I saved the last change in PSE8 as a JPG , it does not appear in the catalog. The JPG is placed on the record, so I went to import it, but LR5 does not show in the grid to import for the folder. In the import screen, as expected, all the other shots so I saved TIFF appear grayed out because they are on the catalogue. But a new not catalogued is not shown.

    I just want to keep track of the JPG that was based on a cataloged TIFF. Y at - it a trick to simplify the use of a Publisher to run the LR5?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Nick

    Is the original source for the tiff and jpeg files a raw file?

    She draws from the LR, go to:

    Edit > preferences > general (tab)

    Lightroom > preferences > general (tab) on Mac OS x

    Try to put a tick in the box to process jpeg & raw as separate files. Does make a difference?

  • TBird 31.7, import Eudora Pro 600 mailboxes matter only 64, as well as in the box. need 600 all, how?

    I'm upgrading to Eudora 7.1.0.9 for Mozilla Thunderbird 38 Pro. Found that I have to install FIRST 31.7 TBird, in order to import "all" my old Eudora Pro boxes mailbox. Installed to 31.7 TBird, attempted to import boxes mailbox. Import worked... for a while, then everything just stopped. Count the imported mailboxes, only 64 600 have been migrated. How can I move the 536 other mailboxes? I need all of them! I tried to re - import, but import only caught about 20 before crashing on the desktop. AND the 20 mailboxes, he caught were the same as the top 20 of the 64 mailboxes that had already been imported. I tried to delete these boxes to the 64 letters from the former location of Eudora Pro, then tried to import again, but only caught importing the "In.mbx' (which had been imported in the first importation). Why import feature does not see the 536 other mailboxes? Is there a MANUAL way just copy/paste the mailbox store as long as the new location is, and have Mozilla automatically recognize them?

    HOLY GETOUTTATOWN! IT WORKED! Apparently, I was the incorrect option 'import '. I finally just selected < ImportExportTools > < import an mbx > and was given several options, so I chose < select a directory where the research of the mbox file to import > and just picked my EudoraConverted directory. Thunderbird should not think for about 40 seconds, and ALL the boxes of letters popped up. It took maybe another 30 seconds for all messages to fill all of the mailboxes. FWIW, the conversion was more than 120,000 messages in mailboxes on the 497. And they seem to ALL have presented, although I still test at random. THANKS for all your help. Now for TBird 1.5 upgrade to the current version! Thank you, once again! Problem solved!
