  I use LR5.7 based on Windows 7 and got a few pictures 150 000 in a catalugue. Could import, export and rendering speed be increased, if I store the LR catalog on the same drive as my photos? Today, the program, the catalog and photos are all on different drives.

  Import and export and rendering speed depends on the CPU. The disk contributes only a negligible amount to import and export and rendering speed. You would spend more time to pass the photos that you would gain in speed.

• Fewer steps to move has already imported pictures to the desktop folder in the LR catalog.

  I'm sure this has been asked and I just use a terminology inappropriate then forgive me.  I'm trying to get a group of imported pictures that currently link to a folder on the desktop in my LR catalog instead.

  I use a Mac.

  Thank you for your help.

  Sure.  Yes, I imported the photos in lightroom, but they were not copied to the LR making catalog. I can not use the term 'catalogue' correctly. I am referring to the designated folder system where LR stores all of my original images.  I have used inadvertently the function 'Add' during their import?

  Photos imported into Lightroom are indeed in the Lightroom Catalog. There's no other way.

  If you used the option Add instead of the COPY option, you would have to do one of the following values (only one, not both of them or all three):

  1. Move photos to the desired inside Lightroom (select all the pictures, then drag them to the desired folder, everything is done entirely in Lightroom). OR
  2. Move the pictures in your operating system to the folder desired; Then, you will find that each photo in Lightroom has an exclamation point icon; Click on the exclamation point icon, and then select the new folder (see these instructions: How to find missing pictures in Photoshop Lightroom ). OR
  3. remove photos from Lightroom (this will remove also publishes, metadata, collections, etc.) and then import them using COPY

  I prefer option 2, but option 3 is actually easiest if you have not yet completed all the work on photos.

• Is it possible to import Raw files into the LR catalog...... including all changes in an external file raw editor such as Capture One?

  Is it possible to import Raw files into the LR catalog...... including all changes in an external file raw editor such as Capture One?

  I can import the Raw file successfully, but can't see all the changes that have been applied in Capture One. IM assuming not, but just to check.

  Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own exclusive process and profiles to render the raw data.

  They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and save changes to a .xmp file or to a Lightroom catalog file.

• LR4 catalog import in LR5 freeze to "prepare the new searchable data point."

  I just downloaded and installed LR5. I've been using LR4/3/2 and still have catalogs imported successfully in the past. This time that lr5 seems to do most of the work while almost the same file size as the original catalog LR4 is created, but the message "upgrading current catalogue" just freezes.

  Should I reinstall LR5?

  Make sure that it is frozen and not only really take a lot of time?  Upgrading the catalog checks all the original files for the additional data, which explains why it takes a lot of time, especially if the files are on a slower storage (which is SIN).  If you don't care of additional data, you could disconnect the readers (or rename the parent folder) before upgrading the catalog and it will skip this step.

• Impossible to import new photos to the default catalog in LR3, 5

  Hello!

  I'm in LR3, 5 on OSx10.5.8 and recently, I lost the ability to import new photos (from hard disk). My default catalog (so far I use only) contains pictures of appx.33k and I can't import to new shots. Yesterday I was shooting tethered camera and everything went well. Today, I wanted to import new files (from disk) and noticed that 'import button' is totally inactive. Dead. I have implemented a new catalog and managed to process the photos today, but when I switch to the previous catalogue the 'import' button is always dead.

  Thoughts? Ideas? Help, please!

  Thank you in advance!

  I try to rename/move the preferences file and see if it helps. I see that you have exported the entire catalog as a catalogue. The exported catalog normal behavior?

  BTW, your histogram looks funny too!

• The catalog import

  I'm trying to synchronize annotations on images between two catalogs.  When I try to import from a catalog, Lightroom seems to stop.

  My main catalog has about 96 000 images.  I exported 870 pictures to another catalog, and my assistant update ratings on those.  When I grew up in LR and tried to import updates from the small catalog in the big catalog, it took over an hour for LR finish "modified photos check duplicate '.  Then, when I told him to go and import metadata updates, it ran for hours without any apparent progress.

  I looked around and seen only in some versions of LR, there is a problem of importing catalogs in the 64-bit version.  I used the 3.4RC 64-bit in Windows 7 with 6 GB of memory.  I tried the 32-bit version of 3.4RC and had the same results.  I tried the 32-bit and 64-bit of LR 3.3 and saw the same behavior.

  Is this normal performance of the catalog import?  A bug in LR?  Or I do something wrong?

  My ultimate goal is to allow my assistant to rate on his computer images, and then re-import the votes in my main catalog.  I'd be also interested in any suggestions on a better way to handle this.

  Thank you!

  You n ' want to be copy/move the file unnecessarily. Fortunately, it is possible for the two parties to share the same files on a network. So, it would be the way to go.

• The catalog import error

  When I run the catalog import feature, I get an error message something like 'an unexpected error, can't open catalog. This has happened at the start when he made the comparison, the preview before receiving the option Preview/import of construction screen.

  Background;

  (1) I had just finished several functions successful import of the same catalog to the same catalog catalog

  (2) I closed and re-run LR (I use LR3)

  (3) I have tried the same Import of Catalog, pointing to the back-up with the same results

  Any ideas?

• Cannot import the EXHD catalog to new mac error message: Parent folder does not allow for files to be created in the breast of this

  I have an old mac in 6 years that the battery exploded so I bought a new mac (Macbook Pro 13, 2015, running OS X El Capitan). I have an external hard drive that I backed up my LR5 the catalog and raw files on my old Mac. On my new mac, I have my EXHD plugged and the LR5 (of membership cloud of Adobe) running. I'm sailing LR5 to open the catalog on my EXHD do, essentially, on all my edits on my photos on my new computer. I get the attached message that it does not bc the parent folder does not allow for files to be created in the breast of the it.

  What should I do?

  Old mac still works so I was wondering if I could try to save the catalog on a USB (its about 4 GB) and rather than the new mac. Or try to save the EXHD catalog in a different way or something.

  Thank you very much!

  

  I copied the EXHD catalog to my new Mac desktop computer and then sailed LR5 catalog on my desktop. WORKED LIKE A CHARM!

• I accidentally deleted my photos from lightroom. On my hard drive, the Lr catalogs, as well as the photos are still there. How to restore pictures?

  I don't know how it happened, except my mouse pointer in the left panel while I was trying to place a photo that I had just imported to another folder.

  My collections appear to be intact, although I've not really used this feature.

  With the DNG files in the 'My pictures' folder (always there). There seems to be several JPG files that I expected (obviously for me, they are JPG generated since the DNG files). How can I recover my photos in Lightroom? It would also be necessary to have the jpg back in Lightroom to avoid conflicts in the Lr catalog?

  I'd appreciate simple easy to understand the answers that I am not very technical interest. I got Lightroom since v4 and now CC photography plan, although I don't have a really good understanding of what I don't get much time to use it.

  Any help is greatly appreciated

  The library, go to:

  File > open recent

  Choose a catalog named so in the list, otherwise go to the catalog folder (normally found photos in) and double click (Ctrl-click) on the catalogue with the .lrcat extension

  If still not appear the pictures, go to a dated backup folder, when it was last working and launch of the .lrcat file.

  Questions 1)

  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.

  

• MacBook iMac w/o catalog import/export?

  I have a macbook and iMac. How can I continue to work on my notebook Desktop pictures? W/o import and export catalog several times? Some, like a Mobile with Lightroom?

  Lightroom is designed as a single-user system. Sync files between multiple computers requires that you jump many hoops.

  My recommendation and the simplest solution is to put your catalogue and pictures on an external drive and move the drive from one computer to another as needed.

  Copy of the catalog from computer to computer on your local network would be the next option.

  "Export as catalog" and "catalog import" would be the third option.

• LR5 catalog import problems. (2)

  Problem no. 1. When you import into LR5, 'copy as DNG' in a specific catalog file, LR doesn't place no where I've specified, but creates a new folder outside of the catalog folder specified, with the same name of the import file that I've specified.

  Problem # 2.  After making minor changes in LR5 and 'Photo' _ "edit in" _ "PS CS6", I "save under" a PSD in the original record of LR, so that are side by side in the DNG, PSD ('grading' has the value 'capture time' or 'file name').  It has always worked without problem in the past but now (for the last 3 weeks) when I save PS to LR, a new folder is created with the PSD file in it, and it is not placed in the original source folder which I have appointed.

  In the FINDER, all files are displayed in perfect order, side by side, on the correct files, but in the form catalog LR, split into several files.

  In both cases, to import, a new folder is generated and my file is not where I nominated to go.  Any thoughts? I even uninstalled LR5 and returned to version 4 and still had the problem.  I have not changed the settings recently. With the help of a MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.2.

  / Volumes / my LightRoom book/images/my pictures

  Jim... I notice in the FINDER, PICTURES is all uppercase, and the path in LR is u/l.  Well, I changed the FINDER you / l case 'Photos' and tested a demo of PS edit in LR and it went in the right position, next to the DNG format PSD in the correct file! Yes!

  Now, I'm just trying an import from card reader to see if it imports correctly.  I'll let you know.  I think you found the problem for me! I will introduce soon.

  UPDATE: import of card reader worked flawlessly after changing the 'IMAGES' to 'Images' in my FINDER window.

  Thank you Jim, a lot for helping me!

• Missing labels and pictures in the old catalog after creating a new catalog.

  I created a new catalog for pictures of the new year.  I use the same Adobe version 8 and the computer as before.  Then I imported the photos to the new catalog and labeled them.  I deleted all the titles tags keywords I is no longer necessary in the new catalogue.  However, I went to my old corset from last year today only to find 1: all the photos containing the tag under titles I deleted in the new catalogue are not there and 2:all tags and keywords are missing from the photos that are always there,  So basically, there's nothing the tag and most of the photos is absent from photoshop! How can I get back them?

  Thank you

  If the files are identical, they have reconnected.

  From now on, all I can suggest is delete the last batch import of files you imported earlier. And try to manually reconnect with their counterparts of the files on the disk. I know its annoying, but it's the only option left IMO.

  It is always advisable to take a backup of the catalog from time to time to avoid such situations.

  Thank you

• Put pictures in the LR catalog without copy?

  How can I put photos into the Lightroom Catalog, so that I can edit and organize them, without copying all the photos? I don't really want to have pictures on my hard drive as well as another additional copy of the same photo in the LR catalog. When I tried to import the photos my only options were to "move" or "copy" photos. I don't want to do either, I want to be able to 'see' and access, as well as their changes?

  Thank you

  If you point to the folder that contains the pictures on your hard disk, the Add option should be available. It's not in the cards or the camera import.
