• Why Lightroom refreshes all my previews after a change in batch?

  Hello!

  I imported more than 2,000 photos. Then I made a change of batch (adjustment of the curve (tonality) by Lightroom).

  But it seems that only on the page, I see indeed, previews are updated.

  If go to the next page of 24 photos. As a first step, I see the old preview. Then the processor and the disk hard activity increases and the image of the preview is updated. So I have to wait for 15 seconds until I can decide, if all settings are a good start or not. And then I again the page and wait 15 seconds

  I was expecting, that Lightroom is:

  1. in the background
  2. in parallel, not just one frame (15 seconds are cause by sequencially transformation; I have an Intel Core i7 with 4 cores and 3.6 GHz, it is not the slower machine, but Lightroom use up to 25% of my CPU resources :-()

  Sorry, but I don't understand, how I should be able to manage a mass of images, if I get to the page and wait still.

  Y at - it all magical shurtcut, command, the setting to apply an auto update?

  Thank you very much!

  Looks like that, there is a demand for an automatic update in the event of mass changes:

• Why Lightroom delete ALL my photos from Flickr? Can it be fixed?

  Hello

  I enjoyed using Lightroom over the past years.  Recently, I made the huge mistake to register for Adobe Creative Cloud.  Lightroom 2015.2.1 on OS X El Capitan was incredibly buggy, but only in a frustrating way up to our days.

  I use Lightroom to synchronize photos, among other things, my son to a Flickr album to see the family across the country.  Family leave comments and favorite photos, so it was a good use of the systems.  There are thousands of images out there.

  Last night, I added a half-dozen more images that I used to do: slide in the album in Flickr Adobe publishing service, click with the right button on the album and click on publish now.  Before publish, I checked to make sure that the images I was clear were in the image list to be published (I was bitten by a selection 'Changed to republish images' strange a few times on 2015.2.1 so I'm now very careful about that).  This morning I wake up to find essentially my Flickr album all erased.  He has deleted everything and may have been slowly adding them until he locked up (as it does now apparently all 60 minutes even on the best days).  1200 images, 5 remain.  I'm quite sad to think about all the metadata that has been just lost.

  Is it possible to fix this?  I don't know even where to start.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I was bit surprised if it was out of Flickr considering it coincides directly with a postback event

  If there is a bug in the API that third-party applications as LR invoke, then it is quite possible that the Flickr server has deleted the photos in response to LR publishes a collection of the server.   It is also quite possible that there is a bug in the Flickr from LR plugin - but so far I've seen a verified report of a bug in CC 2015.2.1, where LR post keywords incorrectly.

  Once you are on the CC plan, it is possible to go back to older versions of the software?

  Yes. Many people have started with CC 2015.1.1, the latest stable version. Same Adobe recommends. See these instructions: How do I roll back to Lightroom 2015.1.1 or Lightroom 6.1.1? CC 2015.3 is rumored to be available soon, but recommend to wait a few weeks before the update - let others do the beta testing.

• Why do lose all my favorites, settings and Add ons in the recent update of Aurora?

  When I was using Aurora happened to crash so I restarted as I normally would when this happens, but when it restarted, there has been a new version (Firefox Developer Edition) and not a single bookmark, folder, add on etc. remained (not to mention my previous session who had quite a few little trivial tabs (, but some a little more important and ALL my story disappeared). When I tried to go to Sync and see if that would restore whatever it is the option to put in my recovery key was not found though in Sync FAQ he mentioned this old way of using sync can still be used. So I made an account email and password and still unable to find a way to sync everything I lost. I searched around the frequently asked questions and not been able to find a resource to help to my question.

  I've been a loyal user of Firefox (since 2005) and I will continue to be, but it really took me by surprise because even in the previous updates, I never had a problem like this.

  Help what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello mmendo18, the output firefox aurora channel was converted into the developer edition of firefox. by default, it starts with a newly created profile. to return to your old data, please refer to recover lost bookmarks on Firefox Developer Edition

• Help, my lightroom cannot find my catalog at startup

  Where can I find my catalog? This program works perfectly for 6 months. So that's what happened when I tried to re - open LIGHTROOM on my IMAC OSX 10.9.5 5.7... now I can't go through a screen that says "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - select a catalog...". and there is a list that says "select a recent catalog to open...". BUT there is no listed catalogue click. WHERE is my 17 000 photo book? (everything was working fine until I added another FOLDER called ARchive and is my external storage drive...) How to use this form?

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  LouAnn

  PS I'd also renamed the PICTURES to THE PICTURES folder, don't you think not that LIghtroom cannot find it now? I looked for the .lrcat extensions and found a series of backups, so how can I get the LIghtroom program to find the catalog?

  Post edited by: LOUANN BRIZENDINE

  Of course, this is why Lightroom cannot find the catalog. But if you go to the folder all IMAGES should have a Lightroom folder. And inside this folder, you will find your catalog. It has the .lrcat extension. There are other files in this folder as well as Lightroom depends on. And since you renamed your pictures folder Lightroom cannot find these either. In any case, double-click the catalog file in the new location and everything should be good.

  Programs are designed to run on the dependencies in different folders. It's really not a good idea to rename you arbitrarily a folder. In fact, I would really say that you change the name of this folder to what it was originally, and let it. It's a standard folder that other programs might be addicted as well.

  And just to clarify, I would like to rename your PHOTOS ALL at what it was originally before you start looking for the catalogue and double click on it as I suggested. This folder of photos could almost supposed to constitute a system folder, in my opinion. It's that I don't think needs to be renamed.

• I have lightroom on my computer I'll lose all my photos if I go on this plan?

  I have lightroom on my computer I'll lose all my photos if I go on this plan?  I have an old version of Lightroom and Photoshop but that you need to update because the technology in my new camera does not match older software.  Did anyone done this before? Do I need to uninstall the old PS and LR before installing the new?

  Your photos have nothing to do with the programs, so I don't know what you're asking. Why Adobe should even take care to remove them? They are just files on your computer in a location you have chosen, after all. Of course there is no harm by saving before executing any operation critical system...

• Met Lightroom and error reading cache... I see to delete the cache of the preview, BUT I will lose all work/photos by doing this?

  I see not to delete the cache of the preview, BUT I will lose all work

  Hi kistah,

  The error indicates that the preview cache has been corrupted, so she would get recreated himself as you start previewing images in Lightroom after you remove it.

  You will not lose any work/changes by removing the cache of previews.

  Just get rid of the .lrdata (not .lrcat) file

• Outlook Express 'occasionally' lose all chronological periods of my emails.

  Outlook Express 'occasionally' lose all chronological periods of my emails.  For example, in 2010 a whole block of sequential emails missing covering more years ' worth of saved emails.  Today, April 4, 2011 all emails since last February has disappeared from my Inbox.  I use the family XP Edition version.

  The files are probably overloaded.

  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

  Recovery methods:

  If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  And backup often.

• Lightroom loses NAS file locations after external editing in photoshop

  When I use Lightroom and use the command to edit my RAW files in Photoshop and then save and close Photoshop and Lightroom loses my file locations.

  Indeed, in my test, the original RAW file that I edited was on my NAS server in ' / Volumes/home/something thing-private/Photos/original/_DSH4794.» NAVE. Published Photoshop saved successfully the new file in the same folder that "/ Volumes/home/something-private/Photos/original/_DSH4794-Edit-2.tif" but Lightroom was get her in "/ home/something-private/Photos/original/_DSH4794-Edit-2.tif".

  It seems that Lightroom is ripped off the beginning of the game "/ Volumes" file path and I have to say Lightroom where the file is really so he could rebuild the link. No idea how to solve this problem?

  I work with the following configuration:

  -Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

  -Home-made NAS (freenas) server to store all my RAW files

  -Lightroom version: CC 2015.2.1

  -Adobe Photoshop Version: 2015.0.1

  08-12-2015, it's always the same problem with Lightroom version: CC 2015.3 and Adobe Photoshop Version: 2015.1 unfortunately!

  I did more stable after reading a message on another forum (LR loses the locations of files after that I have Edit in photoshop on my iMac - Lightroom Forums) and found out that the problem was caused by the AFP share name: home. It seems Lightroom or Photoshop don't like stocks AFP named 'home' when it comes to performing a "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015...". I renamed my AFP share in 'nashome', and it's working now.

  The cause has been found and there is an easy solution, but the problem is still to be fixed by Adobe now!

• Flickering of the screen while the edition of tiff files makes me lose all changes.

  When you edit a tiff file it causes my screen flashes, I tried with GPU power on and off and the same behavior, if I am trying to change a slider during this flickering I lose all changes to tiff. I know what is happening to more people as I've seen on the forums, this happens to me on two different one computers a MAC Pro and the other a PC.

  For example, I go to NIK and make a change and then go back and Lightroom starts flickering / refreshing and when this happens if I'm dragging a slider it will reset all the changes to this picture.

  Please help as I am unable to use Lightroom at the moment.

  Many people have reported this problem, Adobe has recognized as a bug.  See this thread in the official forum for feedback to Adobe for workarounds: a TIFF from LightRoom 6 recharge after each change, development of potential data loss.  Don't forget to add your vote and opinion to make it more likely Adobe will give priority to a solution.

• 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?

  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.

• Why Lightroom 4 will not copy pictures directly from my Canon 7 d?

  Hi all

  I just have a question. Why lightroom 4 (full version) will not import pictures directly from my Canon 7 d, after the connection to my laptop with USB (Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit)?

  Lightroom will find all files, even on full CF card.

  Thanks for any help.

  Concerning

  Martin

  Hi Martin,

  If you attach the camera to your computer, it appears under start/devices and printers like the Canon EOS 7 d?

  In any case, I think you should move the firmware to 1.2.5 as it was setting so some CF related issues. Maybe this will help for you. You can get the http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_7d#DriversAndSoftware firmware installation is easy and takes only a few minutes.

• If I get another identifier apple - do I lose all my data from the id of the first?

  I don't know which community for posting this in so I take a stab at this one.

  If I get an another apple i.d. - do I lose all my data of the first identity?

  data can be transferred to the new ID?

  It's all too confusing.

  Thank you

  It is normally best to change the email address for the Apple ID existing rather than getting a second Apple ID. See change your Apple - Apple Support ID

  Do I lose all the iMessages that have not been delivered to my iphone if I withdraw (from iMessage) my phone number? My current iphone is broken and I am planing to get a new one in a few months.

  You may lose everything.  iMessage, like most e-mail services, don't keep permanently undeliverable messages.  They only keep in the short period send queue (I don't know exactly how much time but some Apple tech sites indicate no more than 10 days to two weeks) until they are purged.  That's pretty standard as otherwise, large volume, messaging services would be sitting on tera-bytes of messages not delivered each month.

  You actually have to change my phone number?  If not, let alone sign and only in iMessage when you have the new phone with this set of numbers upward to the service.
