• I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos but then...? !

  Adobe,

  I imported my photos from an external hard drive in Lightroom, edited my photos and when I decided to export the originals had not been updated and deleted photos were not deleted. How I set up so that once I have import photos, edit and export they are then placed in their original case reviewed and updated?

  I managed to export photos to another file, but they were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is it and is it necessary?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK then so when you export edited LR images to tell the Office I do not need to use xmp files unless I want then to re - edit still say in Photoshop or another app?

  You don't need the files xmp during the passage of LR to Photoshop. Right click on the image or in the develop module, click Photo > edit in... According to what you have set in the preferences of the image then opens like FFT, JPEG or PSD - 8 bit / 16 bit - and the new TIFF file for example automatically will return to sitting next to the original RAW LR library. If you are exporting a RAW file edited to the desktop to JPG/TIFF then changes will be permanently stamped in the EXIF of the created files.

  Basically import my Raw files on the drive from Carmera card, then in LR. Edit in LR, finishing and export again say in the office. Keep or throw originals that I please...

  Yes, but why would you throw your originals? You can later return to the original and the re - change all over again new experiences learned etc..

  Can I see the modified pictures made in Photoshop in LR later?

  Yes, see first paragraph above. If you already have a file in LR, take it in Photoshop as a JPG/TIFF/PSD, it will be automatically reduced in LR. If you modify a file outside the LR and that is not already in the LR library, say by locating the RAW file in Explorer and then open it directly in ACR/Photoshop, then LR will have no idea what you did except in LR, you choose to import the image later. Remember though, this is one of the examples where you will need to configure save metadata in xmp (at bridge) so that when you import the edited outside the file RAW LR, LR will read the xmp file changes and save it in its own database.

• I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

  I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

  The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.

  Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

• Download of photos from an external hard drive

  New to Photoshop.

  IMac OS X Yosemite - Photoshop Elements 13

  How can I set Photoshop Elements download as opposed to import my photos of my external hard drives?  I want to avoid the 'missing file' & reconnect "."  Memory cards import all data: external hard drives can probably do the same thing?

  I found information on how to manually drag on but it does not work either.

  I don't want any of my eternal hard drives to synchronize with Photoshop, as they do at the moment.

  I read learning and support and tutorials but still impossible to locate any 'preferences' in this regard.

  Regards Tina

  Hi Tina, if you want to keep the external drive connected as a drive to work, then you must copy pictures to a folder of photos.

  Then use the menu of the Organizer:

  File > get Photos & videos > files & folders

  Then navigate to your location in images.

• Lightroom recognizes not all my photos on my external hard drive?

  Lightroom recognizes not all my photos on my external hard drive, he sees the part of a file, but not all the files it contains. Virtually everything is there except that one folder, it says all were imported, but they don't show...

  If you wwant photos will show up in Lightroom on your external drive, you must (in Lightroom), do a right click on the folder on your internal drive that has photos and select Update folder location. Then select the appropriate external hard disk folder. You may get a message asking if you want to merge files, allow this merger.

• Unable to access the data stored on an external hard drive

  Just a checkup was done on my computer that required all my data to be deleted and the original settings restored. My backup files are on an external hard drive Western Digital Elements. Since the health check, my computer recognized the hardware connection when I connect the external hard drive, but the drive does not appear in 'my computer '. I cannot access my saved files. How can I fix the problem so that I can access very important data on the external hard drive? NB. I tried to update the driver concerned, but get the message "cannot find a driver that is higher than already installed.

  Hi Fairhurd,

  It is without doubt the antivirus software or security that comes pre-installed on the computers factory image.

  I suggest you uninstall all the trial security software (McAfee, Zone Alarm, etc) that your not use to see if it helps.

• I don't see the photos on my external hard drive with windows Vista Home Basic

  Hello

  I bought an external hard drive Sansung to save all my music, but when one copy all my external music files hard drive thumbnails disappears. I uncheck the "always show icons, never thumbnails" in folder options, I tried large icons on display options, I even checked "display thumbnails instead of icons" on the Visual effects tab in the Panel of the Performance in Advanced system settings. ' " Prevented, Windows Vista is not able to see the photos in my external hard drive.
  What should I do?...
  Looking forward to your audience you shortly.
  Thanks in advance,
  Charlie

  1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup
  
  2 check the photos and click OK.
  NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

  3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

  4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

  This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).

• If I saved photo on an external hard drive, now remove the laptop backup files to free up space?

  If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

  Original title: can anyone help please?

  Hello

  You can take a safe backup.

  After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

  1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

  2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.

  I moved my photos on an external hard drive - lightroom 5 can't find them - I know not how to address this issue.  Can someone help me with this please?

  Right-click (Ctrl-click on Mac) on a parent folder and choose the location of the update folder.

  Then navigate to where your photos are stored.

  I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?

  Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

  Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I got a few responses that work.) Thank!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy photos to my external hard drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do leave LR or my car, I get the message; "Disc burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone can find out if there is something I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help! So frustrating!  I have a Lenovo PC, I don't know if that makes a difference. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!

  You burned discs with other programs using this computer? Are you sure that you have a drive that will burn the disks?

• Library share of photos stored on external hard drive

  I currently have a library that is much too large for my MacBook Pro. I use Aperture with a referenced library, stored on an external hard drive.

  I would like to be able to share our library on my MB Pro, my wife and our iPhones and iPad MacBook. When the pictures came out, I was informed that I couldn't use iCloud with a library referenced and sharing across different devices iOS and mac. (In fact, I would need only to share a part of the library on our computers and devices. Some must be on my MBP.

  Is this possible with pictures?

  Or anyone has any other suggestions how I can share the photos I have with my wife book Mac and iPhone?

  Thank you very much.

  None

  There is no way to share a library with Photos Aperture - there is no way to share a portion of a photo library (or iPhoto or Aperture) - library iCloud requires pictures and that's all or nothing - you can have several libraries with the photos you want to share in one and all the others in another

  as for ways to share Photos and opening - a third-party site like Flickr or export to DropBox and import from there

• How to import bookmarks from an external hard drive?

  I exported my favorites from firefox on an external hard drive. Now I have a new laptop, but do not know how to transfer these back to firefox bookmarks.

  It is no different to import from a hard drive on your own machine. The external hard drive has a drive letter on the same way as a HD internal.

  Just use the reverse procedure, you made to export the file i.e. choose "Import HTML" instead of "export HTML".

  If you saved it in. JSON format, then choose 'Restore' in the menu "import and backup" instead.
