• Problem with the virtual copy exports - JPEG vs DNG

  Hi all - just a quick question - I have a set of photos developed in LIghtroom that include several virtual copies of which I now want to export to in the form of final versions on my hard drive. All virtual copies are B & w versions of the masters (post-processing work also differs slightly on the top of the b & w preset).

  I need a patch of JPEG and DNG files.
  Export to JPEG files seems to work without a hitch and all the pictures come out like in Lightroom.
  Exporting DNG however come with a question - all virtual copies come out as images themselves IE. not virtual copies, but they are more b & w as they are supposed to be, but go out like color.

  Color version masters come out well. Exports of virtual copy have different look (as expected) and the file size slightly different (also planned?) suggesting this only thing missing for me is the parameter b & w.

  I have tried everything to fix this problem with no use - export the virtual copies separately etc. As already said - JPEG works, but DNG does not...

  Someone at - he experienced this and if so any suggestions on how to fix...?

  Thks a lot!

  DNG files are 'RAW' files - they cannot be changed.

  You can export only B & W versions as (pixel database files) as JPG or TIFF

  You can export copies of a DNG, but they are still RAW.

  You can embed data in a DNG file (containing similar to XML with the NAVE sidecar files and raw CR2 files), but editing will be visible in software that can interpret the raw data (like Lightroom or ACR)

• How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection

  Hello!

  I keep looking for an answer to this anywhere on the web and 3 books, but can't find the answer...

  How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection?

  Here's the workflow, and where I'm stuck.

  1. I chose a picture and put it in a collection.

  2. I did a whole bunch of virtual photos in the collection copies that I tried different modifications.

  3. after and during a lot of changes, I have a lot of virtual copies removed from my collection because I decided against the changes after doing some comparisons.

  4. when I went the folders to select my next picture to work away and so to add to the collection, I discovered that each of my virtual copies was in the original folder, even if I had deleted from my collection.

  5. I really don't want these virtual copies deleted to be in my home folder.  They were virtual copies of trial and error and I wanted them to really just be thrown out.

  6. how to identify these virtual copies removed-from-the-collection in my folder?  File names all look the same, and besides, I want to be absolutely certain that I have selected the right ones.  Some of the changes were very minor and would be difficult to see without laboriously go through them one by one.

  Thank you very much!!

  No easy answer on fixing the mess other than an individual inspection of the virtual copy can't watching the Images/Edit history to determine which ones that you no longer need.

  But to help prevent the problem in the future: when you are working from a collection, you must use ALT + return back to remove a copy of Photo or virtual catalog. With just the key DELETE or BACKSPACE only deletes the photo from the collection.

• (Find and) removing the virtual copies

  Hello.

  I managed to create virtual copies of 1000 or more photos. This happened (I think) while trying to clean a file in the collection. What I want to do now, so to sort - and isolate? -virtual copies created accidentally. I tried to use Copies of filter/Virtual Library and sorting during editing, but it still seems that it will take time to find those that have been made virtual copies by intention and those who were not. As I also did a lot of editing work before this accident, I would rather not return a previous backup.

  So, to summarize: what is the best way to find only the created virtual copies from say 10:00 this morning?

  Thanks in advance,

  OLE k

  While you can order by order added, I don't see anything to display. I said descending because then the accidental should be the first to that see you.

  I think I may have confused things by saying smart collection / contains / whatever. The only goal was to find all virtual copies, so we could then see those accidental. We cannot do this by file Type, but we can do it by searching for a letter, for example 'o', which we know will be in the copy name field.

  Another approach would have been to go to these collections. Alt Ctrl Shift Delete (PC) or remove Opt Shift Cmd (Mac) is necessary to remove the items from Lightroom - what is necessary because a simple deletion would only remove the item from this collection.

• Virtual copies come first in the exported files?

  Is there a good reason why the virtual copies, coming after the original in the library file, are named in a way that causes them to come before in the game exported JPEGs?  IE - ogfile.jpg and ogfile - 2.jpg.  When sorting by file name, the virtual copy is the first!  This totally counter-intuitive.  The original files should get a suffix-1 or the virtual copy must be named in the order.  Or am I missing something?

  Lightroom uses the suffix "-2" to avoid name conflicts. The first pictures are exported with the file name that you set in the export dialog box. Since the two your master and VC were exported with the same file name - there is no way to avoid conflict, but to add a suffix.

  If you want your master to have a "-1" suffix, you can control it by choosing a model of export file name, which includes a sequence # variable. For example:

  -

  This will give you the expected results:

  • ogfile - 1.jpg
  • ogfile - 2.jpg

• Virtual copies not found in the Windows folder.

  I don't remember having met this before, so I'm going: I just created a virtual copy of some photos of my summer vacation and everything works fine. But when I need to access these photos right window (Windows / my images thats), virtual copies do not appear in my folder YYYYMM. Back to LR if they will appear there with an extension of 1/Copy. Right to the VC, then "Display in explore" will highlight the original folder, the VC is always not there. Part of the frustration is I don't remember what happens before (or) so I wonder if I accidentally changed settings.

  Running LR 4.1 under Windows 7 64-bit.

  Thanks in advance.

  Virtual copies are "virtual". They do not exist in the records; so you can't look into a Windows folder to find them (and in fact, I think it's a bad idea for Lightroom users to browse the folders in Windows in any case, when you browse browsing in Lightroom).

  If you remember you could do before, that is, you're wrong to remember, there is never a convenient where the virtual copies appear in the windows.

  If for any reason, you need a photo for use outside of Lightroom (a photo, virtual or 'original' copy), you would have to export it.

• Catalog corruption - virtual copies not properly related to the master

  A small set of 36 images in a catalog of 12500 behave oddly and virtual copies do not seem to relate to teachers properly.

  Difficult to remember exactly the steps but whose

  -Adding an initial selection of 100 + masters to quick Collection

  -adjust the selection using color signage, number of stars and marking photo rejects

  -create virtual copies of 35 images 4 star pics

  -adding virtual methods to other manual collection

  -apparent virtual duplicate that appears when I don't think I asked new virtual methods in the collection but must have made

  -location of the virtual to reject copies

  -1 picture in photoshop twice editing

  -various other post-processing edition

  In any case I see now in the library panel that 35 photos of master, the 2 files photoshop and the vitrual 1 copies are listed as 1-38, 2-38, etc.. The virtual copies of all but 1, which was added at a later stage, do not be 1 of 2 Although the name of the file is _MG_9999/copy 1 or 2 copy varies from image to image. The images sequence 38 photos 'related' first, then virtual methods and 1 master end when the sort sequence is the time of capture or file name.

  Every thing is there but reported links is obviously false and that worries me and I would like to rectify if I can. The catalog is saved every time Lightroom closes but as I was opened and closed several times a day and did not recognize when this corruption happened that I won't really be loading of a succession of backups and lose any changes of post process or other damage. I just realized that I do NOT have automatically write to XMP enabled in the settings of catalog, although I had to have.

  I export the record of 1413 masters have been taken from another catalog and resynched. Don't expect much and did nothing.

  Anyone any ideas please?

  Thank you

  Virtual copies don't say '2 of 2', etc. Only the superimposed images say that. Which is probably confusing you is that the VCs are normally created stacked. I would say that your catalog is probably fine.

  Ja.

• LR 6 - the search for virtual Copies will not work

  I exported a few photos to a customer including some virtual copies where I converted to black and white.

  But when the customer sends the pictures, I have a text string which has the names of files and the virtual copy file name, IE. Flower-0001-2

  However I insert this string into the search field, but the virtual copies do not appear.

  I could export the virtual copies and add them back in the catalog, but is there another way to get the search to pick up these filenames on the first shot?

  Yes it works for me now except if there is an easier way. Thought I'd share how I did it.

  (1) I export, add to the catalogue and in another file and download all the photos on my wordpress site.

  (2) customer selects the Favorites and I get an email that contains a text string (this text string includes all the masters and vc file names)

  (3), I then take this text string copy and paste into the search field on this new folder, I created on export.

  (4) all customer photos they have selected appear. Fact.

• Virtual copies are not synchronized in a second Lightroom Catalog even if the metadata are written in XMP and synchronization with the metadata has been selected

  Dear community,

  I use a Mac with 5.7 of Lightroom which is configured to store all the metadata in the xmp files. The Lightroom Catalog is stored locally on the Mac and contains only references to images and their xmp files that are stored on a network device. There is another Mac with the same setup with a local separate Lightroom Catalog and access to the same images on the network device.

  At a starting point, the two Lightroom catalogs are identical - they refer to the same images on the network device and contain the same metadata.

  When I update the properties of the image on the first Mac, these changes are reflected in the xmp file. After using the option 'synchronize' with activated "metadata synchronization" on the second Mac, the modified image properties are visible on the second Mac. It is very good.

  However, when I create a virtual copy on the first Mac, I realize that the corresponding xmp file is updated. However, even after the synchronization, the virtual copy is not visible on the second Mac. I can change the properties of the image of the original image and get these changes replicated to the second Mac, but the virtual copies remain the first Mac.

  What should I do also virtual copies get synchronized?

  Thank you very mich for your support.

  Best regards

  Peter

  However, when I create a virtual copy on the first Mac, I realize that the corresponding xmp file is updated.

  As far as I know, xmp does not contain information about the virtual copies. If this method to attempt to synchronize two catalogs will not work.

  Better you should use the file-> Export catalog on a single computer and then file-> import from another catalog on another computer.

• Batch modify virtual copies to teachers

  Hi all

  I recently merged two catalogs and I'm trying to deal with all virtual copies created by the process.

  Basically, I merged my main catalog, which will automatically create xmp in the file, with a catalogue containing many duplicates but with no metadata on them, essentially creating a conflict.

  Lightroom processes the conflict by creating virtual copies of the duplicate files and moving all the metadata on them, leaving UN masters in the catalogue and the directory. So now, I have all my ratings, tags, keywords and information of the collection of 8 000 images on the virtual copies, not on the masters...

  I want to get rid of the virtual copies and re - write metadata on the masters but can't seem to find an easy way to do it.

  That's what I tried so far

  1. define the virtual copies as masters

  That would be my favorite way to do it and then go and remove the virtual copies safely. Unfortunately, I can't be able to do this on several virtual copies at a time.

  2 remove the master

  I thought that maybe if I removed the master, the virtual copy automatically take his place. They both refer to the same file... But none. Remove the master, removes them as well. I guess it's perfectly logical on any scenario!

  3 save metadata about the file of VC

  Unfortunately, you cannot perform this action

  4. synchronization of metadata in the stacks by using plugin Syncomatic

  This would be to merge the key words, which is an important step! But other metadata, control would replace the VC, the meaning to lose them. Fortunately, you can only choose to synchronize key words, so that's something. The main question here is of all collections. I have to go and add them manually.

  That's what I got so far, so I need some inspiration, you guys!

  Are there easy ways to do what I did and did not know?

  Is there a way to virtual copies of batch changes to the masters?

  Is it possible to synchronization metadata with a choice of how to resolve conflicts?

  Is there a way to put images superimposed in the collections where appears a single image of the battery? Or any workaround for synchronization of collections quickly? Once again, with the choice of the VC being chosen in case of conflict.

  Or any other solutions, plug-ins etc? I would really appreciate your help

  I have merged my main catalog, which will automatically create xmp in the file, with a catalogue containing many duplicates but with no metadata on them, essentially creating a conflict. Lightroom processes the conflict by creating virtual copies of the duplicate files and moving all the metadata on them, leaving UN masters in the catalogue and the directory. So now, I have all my ratings, tags, keywords and information of the collection of 8 000 images on the virtual copies, not on the masters...

  Rather than trying to fix the result of the merger, you have already done, it might be useful to take a step back and reconsider how you did the merger.  (This is assuming that you have a backup two catalogs that allows you to go back to, right?)

  To test my understanding, you have two catalogs, call them A and B.  B a lot of pictures of A duplicate, and these duplicates have no metadata and are not placed in the collections that they are in A.  While in A, you have imported B, by selecting the option Replace: metadata settings and develop. The pictures that were in B but not got merged into A very well. But if a peak has been in the two catalogues, his master had its metadata replaced by B 'empty' metadata, with a virtual copy that is created that contains the metadata of origin.   Even worse, that master has been removed collections is, replaced by its virtual copy.

  To avoid this, why not just select the option Replace: nothing?  In this way, only the photos in B that are not in a will get imported into A.

  If my interpretation is not correct, then provide details of the scenario, using the same terms (A and B).

• Virtual copies

  I want to try to apply different effects to the image itself, so I made a virtual copy of an image.

  1. is this a virtual copy remain in the catalogue until deletion?

  2. my virtual copy has all the effects applied to the original image, and there is no available on the virtual copy history to return to the original. I'm trying to make changes in order to compare the two, although I'd rather not have to remove all the effects that I applied to the original, is there a way to get around this?

  Thank you.

  Hi kat from media,.

  1. Yes, the virtual copies remain in the catalog. However, they do not take a lot of space. All that is necessary for a VC is the list of the adjustments you see in the history panel, because it is based on the same original file.

  2. it is a more difficult question. As you noted, fist in the historical a VC Panel is "Create a virtual copy", and it carries with it all the settings of the master (but without the detailed steps included in the history).

  I can't think a good way to get the steps of the exact story of an original copied on a virtual copy, without taking the steps one at a time manually. However, you can change any effect later (without loss) for both images. So I don't know why you would need from the history list. Can you provide an example of what you're trying to do? Maybe we can find another way.

• Creation of the virtual machine on a cluster using the vmcreate.pl script

  Hello

  I checked a few posts on this forum on how to create the virtual machine through vmcreate.pl, but responses was not so clear to me...

  These are the topics I've read:

  Create a VM on the Cluster instance

  How to configure the managed object HostSystem

  So, I would like to create a virtual machine on a Cluster, and not on a specific host. The vmcreate.pl script would have done the job? Or should I change it?

  In the topic = > VM create instance on Cluster I did not quite get, what I need to change...

  That's what I do:

  vmcreate.pl - server 'ESX NAME' - username "LOGIN" - password 'PASS' filename - vmcreate.xml - schema vmcreate.xsd

  
  

  Result:

  Creation of the 'myTestMachine ': VM error

  SOAP fault:

  -----------

  Error string: InvalidArgument

  The fault detail: InvalidArgument

  Here are the values of the XML file:

  < name > myTestMachine < / name >

  blah < Home > < / Host >

  blah < Center > < / Center >

  > Guest Id < Linioch < / comment-Id >

  The values are correct the cause I checked the other perl scripts.

  Thanks in advance for your help
