Transfer and photo management

My situation is as follows.  My lightroom catalog has of multiple naming conventions for files.  I've only been on lightroom for a few months and have created an aaaa-mm-jj naming convention when I import pictures.  So to get my pictures existing in the convention (they had already been imported into the lightroom catalog), I removed from the catalogue and their re-import.  This allowed me to have lightroom create automatically new files by date.  Also several files were duplicated as had previously created several categories of file (of course now, I don't need this cause I can create smart folders).  However, now I have some pictures that are duplicates, but I already tagged them so I don't want to remove the catalog and lose all the work metadata, I did it (these photos were shot in JPEG).  Is there a way to have lightroom move them to new files which is automatically created by date, as it does in import?  Any help is very appreciated!

If you move photos in Lightroom, you won't lose the metadata. Regarding duplicates, I'd be inclined to manually move (in LR) into the folder where his DUP., and then delete the one that has no metadata.

    Can I transfer my photos on iCloud and always keep them on my MacMini?

    Yes. Indeed if you use iCloud photo library and delete a picture of the Photos app on your Mac, it will be also deleted icloud.

    If you open the preferences of Photos and click on iCloud at the top of the preferences window and turn on iCloud photo library and also select the 'download for the Mac originals"rather than the"Optimize Mac Storage"option, the original size will be kept on your Mac.

  • Sony RX100 transfer videos and photos to IPad Air

  • Windows 7 will not be printed with the photo viewer and Picture Manager.

    Everytime I open an image file with Windows or Office Picture Manager Photo Viewer and try to print, I get 4 message boxes that said "your photos cannot be printed because this error occurred.

    There is nothing else that a button OK - not even one error code.

    The strange this is I can print almost anything with any other program very well. Firefox, Photoshop, all those print without problem. It's only the viewer Photo and Picture Manager that do this.

    The printer is an Epson RX595 with 64-bit drivers.

    My Office Picture Manager calls a dialog box that has a dropbox to define the printer. If you create an image of a document (*.mdi) you know it's the printer driver that has a problem.

    Creative Memories Photo Manager probably ejected your camera after you import the images. Check the default settings and change them if you prefer something different.

    If your camera is not displayed as ejection, it is safe to remove it. Damage to the file system wouldn't be possible, but not certain, if he had written active file or buffer not released when the device has been deleted.

  • How can I get photos of photo shopped for transfer and print at Wal-Mart booth? They will appear once I take SD

    How can I get photos photo shopped to transfer and on the SD card appear in places like Wal-Mart to print?

    It may depend on the kiosk. Older models, I had to use the software provided with the camera and transfer to the camera. Then the kiosk would read the card.

    This last time I tried a month ago, I was able to use a flash drive and he could read the image in the root folder. He acknowledged the files both jpg and png.

    If all fails you can download via their website and pick them up at the store. Or I guess the download is always available, been awhile.

  • Videos and photos full resolution will not download

    My iPhone has the option 'download photos in full resolution' is enabled. I decided to do the same thing for my iPhone but when I went to the photos app on my ipad, he said not "enough space". I had 22 GB of free space on my ipad. My library is only 17 concerts. But it refuses to download videos and photos in full resolution. I even tried turning off iCloud photo library, remove all local copies of my photos and videos, turn it back on and selecting 'download full resolution '. Same question. My next option is to restore my iPad for a clean install, but I rather not do. Any ideas?

    Performing a restore of backup can erase some extra storage space, but...

    Download a library of 17 GB, the memory load to the Photos app, on a device with only 22 GB of free space will leave enough space free work, so the warning is OK - you have not enough free storage.

    Go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud > storage management and see if you can remove some unused documents and apps to create more free space. Otherwise, use an optimized library and full resolution images will be downloaded when you need to view or modify.

  • 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.
  • How to copy an iPhoto Library AND photos

    With the help of iPhoto Library Manager I made a copy of my iPhoto library to a new external drive, but I noticed that when I opened the library copied, the photos it contains are always referenced to the original photos, no copies on the new drive, as I had hoped.

    If as expected, how a copy an iPhoto Library AND photos referenced to a new location, on an external drive, as is any independent on the new drive?

    Thank you

    Geoff

    Simple:

    Go to your pictures folder and find the iPhoto library here. Drag it to the external hard drive. It will make an exact copy it

    Fact.

    Warnings: the player must be directly connected (USB, lightning etc.) and Mac OS extended (journaled) format

    Are you running a Managed or referenced library?

    A managed, library is the default setting, and iPhoto copies the files in the iPhoto library during import. The files are then stored in the library package

    A referenced library is where iPhoto does NOT copy the files in the iPhoto Library when importing because you have made a change to iPhoto-> preferences-> advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files in the library to import) The files are then stored wherever you put them and not in the library package. In this scenario, you are responsible for the management of files.

    If you have a library that is referenced, then it is much more complicated.

  • Mac freezes transfer of photos of Pentax K-30

    When I transfer photos from my camera Pentax K-30 to iPhoto on my Mac, transfer hangs after moving 3 or 4 pics max. Anyone know how I can stop what is happening or transfer the photos on my Mac another way?

    It has never worked? Has it happened with more than one card? It is possible that there is a problem with the card, or with the cable allows you to connect the camera to the computer, assuming that's what you do.

    If you attach the camera directly, consider using a card reader. I never have anything other than a card reader used to move images of my cameras (including a 30 K) to my computers, and it has always worked.
