There is a photo management tool/plugin?

I still own LR. This is the feature of development is really superb. Much better than any tool PP, I have used in the past.

A gap that I find with LR, however, is its photo management tool.  I used ACDSee Picture Manager, among other things, in the past, the management of photo in ACDSee was really good and intuitive. The following functions have been really practical in ACDSee that I find missing in LR.

  • Group (in addition to sorting) by almost any criteria - original date, day, month, camera, focal, etc..
  • Display a number any of attirbutes - camera, resolution, size, etc.
  • batch renaming practice
  • Travel and single copy

As you can see, these are all file management functions. LR has these functions as well?

If this isn't the case, maybe I'll have to use both tools after all - LR for development and ACDSee Photo Manager for managing files.

Certainly, Lightroom is a photo management tool that compares well with ACDSee. There are probably advantages and disadvantages to each, but everything on your list is present in LR except display resolution (if by that you mean pixels per inch of the photo).

  1. Grouping, as this can be done through the bar filter or smart collections
  2. The metadata panel displays the attributes
  3. F2 rename batch
  4. Move photos is done via the Control Panel folder. LR does not copies, as the paradigm Lightroom does not make real copies. It includes no virtual copies. Of course, you can create copies via another tool, the file-> export. You can make copies in your operating system.

But if you want LR to have the same flow of work/features/ease of use/etc, like ACDSee (or Bridge, Photoshop Elements or any other program), let's be honest, it's not. The programs work differently. You will need to learn the methods and mechanics of each program. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and LR has a lot of 'pros' for its photo management tools.

  • is there an alternative photo management system that works (and NOT the pictures)

    Y at - it another app that works better than the pictures, that we can use to manage the photos, because they took iPhoto and replaced it with pictures?  Is there a way just to import photos and save them to your computer in folders, as you would on a Windows system? And then maybe just use Picasso or something?

    You can still use iPhoto if you are eligible:

    Re: Iphoto's gone? I want to go back!

    Go to the App Store and check out the shopping list. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1

    If it's there, then drag your existing iPhoto application (not the library, just the app) in the trash

    Install the application on the App Store.

    IPhoto is sometimes not visible on the shopping list. It may be hidden. See this article for more details on how to view it.

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT4928

    A question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?

    iPhoto, the application and the iPhoto library are two different parts of the iPhoto program. So, reinstall the application should not affect the library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Pix & Editor Photo Manager of LR etc.?

    I spent all my time to test recent editors of different photos - Raw processing, Lightroom, darktable, Capture One, Lightzone, Photoshop Elements, affinity, ACDC Mac Pro, DXO Optics 11 - on and on. Most of them is best editors (IMO) than pictures, but I prefer the ease of use and search for photo management. And since we now have two "extensions" and in particular the extension "External editors", I wonder why I should not simply use pictures for management and my 'catalogue' and some minor/quickie changes and exit to all others, I prefer to do more complex work.

    I mean, what's wrong with this picture? Photos is pretty quick and easy, good import, has a few basic changes, and fantasy guys are always more or less available, either by extensions (or some of them) and by export and re - import (even if it work you on duplicates, I suppose).

    Anyway, would love to hear from someone who has tried this or he tries now, how it worked, and what are the limits, what to watch out for, etc.

    Thank you very much.

    And since we now have two "extensions" and in particular the extension "External editors", I wonder why I should not simply use pictures for management and my 'catalogue' and some minor/quickie changes and exit to all others, I prefer to do more complex work.

    That's what I've done since publishing extensions became available.

    My main reason to stick with Photos is iCloud photo library.  There is no other easy way to sync my library of Photos between multiple Macs.

    I found that I must not fall back on the Photo editing spotted too often. I'm careful to take my pictures so they don't need much editingbeyond straighten the horizon lsightly, cropping, perhaps to correct the white balance and adjust the highlights and shadows. Everything that can be done in pictures.

    I mainly use extensions or external for a correction of perspective editors, if it was not possible to take the picture with the correct perspective, for the smoothing of the skin and for touch-ups. I try to avoid extensions if mounting can be done in Photos, for two reasons:

    • Extensions create a new master file almost, like Aperture. Then they break up which edition.
    • And they are not yet as stable as I could wish. For example, extensions of affinity cannot edit some panoramic shots, they can reframe the edited section. And I often get an error message when I try to save the modified version - for affinity extensions and extensions site, for the most part, if I try to apply multiple extensions to the same photo.

  • ESX 4.1 and ESXi4.1 - Dell management tools

    OK, so what I understand starting with ESX 4.1 there is no console service, correct?

    So if we are moving from 4.0 to 4.1 to just install ESXi now that comes preinstallled with Dell management tools or keep with ESX 4.1?  If so, how do install us these tools once the console service disappeared?

    Hello.

    OK, so what I understand starting with ESX 4.1 there is no console service, correct?

    The service console is still there in ESX 4.1.  This will be the last version of the product to be shipped with the service console.

    So if we are moving from 4.0 to 4.1 to just install ESXi now that comes preinstallled with Dell management tools or keep with ESX 4.1?

    It boils at ease you are away of ESX and passes with ESXi and perhaps how much you rely on the service console.  On the operational level, things are different.  Do you have other agents or applications that require the service console?

    If so, how do install us these tools once the console service disappeared?

    For Dell boxes, you download Dell OpenManage Offline and VIB for ESXi group and then manage it remotely.  You use the vSphere CLI or vMA to install the bundle VIB offline.

    Good luck!

  • Graphical management tool?

    Hi all

    I just inherited a legacy DB Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition, and a program called SQL Plus (version 8.0.6.0.0). I used SQL Server 2005, a bit, but new to Oracle. My first question is 'is it a management tool graphic similar to SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Management Studio Express?

    I'm also in the DB. And with SQL more, how do I know the primary keys and foreign keys of all tables?

    Thank you

    Wow, to 8.0 which is * really * a system inherited! ;-) This version of Oracle has not been supported in this Millennium. The documentation available to the tahiti.oracle.com online only back to 8.1, but it should at least give you a good start.

    I started with Oracle 7.3, but at this point cannot even remember what the GUI management tools looked like before 9i. (Is that what gives you an idea of how really obsolete 8.0 is?  ;-)) Although I'm sure there's a form any of Oracle Enterprise Manager.

    Go to tahiti.oracle.com and select the documentation for 8.1.7... It is also close to your version because you'll be able to get, and I think that for your application, it will be good enough for some time. Select the 'List of books' tab, then search for books dealing with "Enterprise Manager"

    And while we're at it, do not think a minute Oracle resembles anything SQL Server. They are all two relational databases, but residents are very different. Even the terminology is different - same words, different concepts. The first thing that you need to get your head, is that a "database" in SQL Server is not the same concept as a "database" in Oracle. Almost, you need to clear all that you have learned about databses SQL Server before the Oracle.

    It would be a good investment in your career to go to tahiti.oracle.com. Explore your product and version. You will find the complete library of doc.

    Note the 'search' on this site.

    You should spend a few minutes just familiarize themselves with this * kind * documentation is available by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab

    Open the reference manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents for you familiarize with this * kind * information is available here. When looking for things to the top in the documentation of learning is time well spent.

    Do the same with the SQL reference manual.

    Do the same with the utilities manual.

    Then, set a plan to dig deeper.
    -Read a chapter a day from the Concepts manual.
    -Look in your journal alerts and find all the parms listed at the start of the instance default initialization. Then find out about each of them in the reference manual. Take a look at your listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora files, then bounce what you see here, in the manual of network administrators.
    -When you have finished reading the manual of Concepts, do it again.
