Why 'original' catalog Lightroom appears not as up-to-date

I want to make sure my original Lightroom Catalog is captured by a backup program whenever I use it. Yet the catalogue original (the Explorer of Windows 7: C:\users\myname\My Pictures\Lightroom\catalog.lrcat) shows a month. The fact 'Date Modified'. I save the catalog in another, different, location every time I close LR, but this does not create a new entry whenever I have manually close LR. I would like that the backup program to always have the latest version of the LR catalog, IE the original rather than the backup. Is the original shown obsolete, in fact the most up-to-date? Why is it not also show up-to-date? Thank you!

Examples of my file dates-

My current work. LRCAT catalog:

File Explorer watch-16/6/2013

Right click and select 'Properties' shows-

Created on: 16/06/2013

Updated the: 25/12/2014

Consulted the: 04/06/2014 (curious? not sure where that date comes from)

My backup catalogs - created by the backup procedure exit Lightroom - show-

Record Dates: the Date of the backup (for example, the backup from 25/12/2014)

The. LRCAT catalog Dates:

Created: 25/12/2014

Updated the: 25/12/2014

Consulted the: 25/12/2014

Is this a problem that some users of Lightroom -

Somehow, they use one of their catalogs for backup to a backup folder. This then becomes the default catalog that Lightroom uses when it starts up.

In Lightroom, press CTRL + ALT +, on the general tab - click on 'Show' to get a the Explorer window showing the catalog that Lightroom is currently using.

If you find that you are using a version of "Backup", you can copy in your folder of "C:\...\My Pictures\Lightroom" by default and overwrite the old version. Open this. LRCAT catalog by double-clicking that Lightroom opens at this location and it becomes the master catalog by default.

  • Files dng catalog Lightroom 6 not supported

    After 2 days struggling with my internet connection very slow, I've finally updated OSX El Capitan JUST so I could update to Lightroom 6 so that I could import of Olympus raw files. At startup, Lightroom prompted me to update my Lightroom Catalog, but Lightroom now displays an error message whenever one of my old dng files are open. Something along the lines of "file appears not supported or damaged.

    In addition, it crashes whenever I try to import files from Olympus. so I did not win anything.

    is it possible to have another go at updating the catalog Lightroom 6, or do I just go back to Lightroom 5 and maybe forget my subscription of the CC?

  • Why Lightroom does not change the creation date of the file? (Mac OS)

    I find that Lightroom changes the creation of files present during the incorporation of metadata. I noticed that this behavior is different from the bridge, which reaches to write metadata changes to the file without affecting the creation date, affecting only the modification date.

    I read in other threads that it doesn't matter when even because moving files between disks will write a new file and, therefore, a new date of creation, but if this can be true in some systems (I don't know) is certainly not the case with Mac OS. For example, I have files dating back at least 1998 which have been moved from disc to disc to disc but still retain their original creation date. Which is as it should be. For many of my older images, there seems to be no capture embedded recognizable don't date anyway, so the creation date of the file is the single timestamp.

    It seems quite logical that the modified date of a file must be updated to take into account that the file has been modified (for example if adding metadata), but it seems to make sense that the date of creation of the file should be kept as the date, this file has been created. Changing them both on the same date seems to be a needless loss of information.

    Some would say that the process of adding metadata to a file creates a new file, the creation date must be updated to reflect this. But I would say that the creation date should be which would include a normal user as the creation date. We do not expect the creation date to change everything simply because a file is rewritten to the disk (for example when the defragmentation), however technically accurate, it would be to say that it is a newly created file. And the difference in behavior between Bridge and Lightroom shows that there is some confusion on this subject.

    Photo software ignores generally the operating system created by file-modification dates, and when he is not ignoring them, treated generally in a non-standard way that varies from one program to a program.  Rather than rely on the dates of the files of the operating system, the photo industry has defined fields of metadata with all sorts of specific photos dates: capture date/time (when the shutter button is depressed), date/time of scanning (when a movie or a print image was scanned digitally), date/time software photo altered image or metadata date/time of GPS location.   While some photo software will attempt to maintain the dates of file-created and - updated, many programs and services Web will not (including, but not limited to, LR).  In addition, many utilities files not always to preserve created and set dates to day that you move, copy it, backup and restore files.

    Therefore, I highly recommend that if you care photo dates and times (as I do), so no matter which photo software you use, you store the dates of capture in pictures industry standard metadata by using the tools provided by LR and other photo software.   In this way, you migrate the program to the program over the years, are you more likely to preserve that important metadata.

    Old photos and scans without that metadata, when you first import into LR, LR will assume that the capture time is the hour of the modified file.  LR to rewrite the date of capture of metadata in the file by selecting and making the metadata you can do > edit Capture time, clicking OK and then by metadata > save metadata to file. You can do it in batch - choose all your old photos and make metadata > edit Capture time, click OK, to metadata > save metadata to file.  LR will affect its time updated each file capture time.   If you want to set the time captured in the file create time, select this option in the window change the Capture time before clicking OK.  But beware that many Windows and Mac file utilities cannot preserve create time, even if they retain changed time, in order to create your files time can be wrong.   And of course, make sure that your backups are up to date and valid before making any new procedure file with which you aren't familiar.

    But if you really want to use non-standard file dates to keep your metadata information, and you want Adobe to modify accordingly the LR, so please give your opinion and vote on it in the Adobe official feedback forum: Bug report: Lightroom modifies the image files creation date. This forum is a user forum in which is rarely involved Adobe, Adobe said they read every post in the forum comments (and sometimes they respond).

  • Why 5.7 Lightroom is not uninstalled after upgrade to lightroom 6?

    Hello

    I subscribe to creative cloud and I got lightroom 5.7.1 until yesterday. Today, when the update of lightroom 6 was available, I've updated. Now I see that there are two lightrooms on my windows (win 7 ultimate, 64-bit) - Adobe photoshop lightroom 5.7.1 and Adobe Lightroom CC.

    Question is why previous version 5.7.1 has not been uninstalled? Is there a reason? Can I keep both?

    Some clarification on this should help me do the right step forward.

    Thank you

    Girish

    No chance of corruption. The problem, you can see what your 5.7.1 LR catalog will not match your catalog LR 6.

    Again, this is why I tell you that you must use Lightroom 5.7.1 for 'real' work and 6 Lightroom for the test images, until you reach a point where you are sure that you will switch to Lightroom 6. Then you can upgrade the LR 5.7.1 Catalogue in LR 6 (new) usinf file-> open in LR 6 catalogue, and this new LR 6 will contain all 'real' work you did in Lightroom 5.7.1.

    5.7 Lightroom does not. I have 'some import options was made' - "files could not be copied to the backup location" notice appearing as I download the device. I ignore and click OK. I then edit my photos and try to export. Water is no longer an option and exported labor is the original and not the published work? What do I need to fix this?

    As Chetna asked, you export original?  Yes, you are. It is asking to export a copy of your original file, that is, of course, not changed. So, Yes, you won't see any of your changes. That's why you can not apply a watermark. Adding a watermark in the image he'd a file not original.

  • Why 6 Lightroom does not matter the keywords in the XMP from previous versions?

    In previous versions of LR from Lightroom (1, Lightroom 2 and, above all, Lightroom 3, 4 and 5 of Lightroom Lightroom) I made sure that my changes are written to the XMP file on and images.

    This allows me to receive a file froms someone else generally, or send one of my files to someone else and the changes, keywords, etc. will be in the DNG file.

    When you import an image (or a folder of images) a disk hard having keywords in the XMP of DNG file, these keywords are lost when importing to Lightroom 6.

    If I export as catalog from an earlier version, and then import into the catalog Lightroom 6, key words are there.

    But the point with XMP should be that changes and keywords are in the file and is not lost.

    So why not Lightroom 6 see and import them?

    I imported a file and supposed to apply any metadata during import (which contains only Copyright information).  This has actually imported stars, colours, changes, IPTC, keywords, EXIF as it should.

    Rely on the observation of mcucinat, the preset selected metadata to apply when importing is clearing the fields.  Make sure that you don't have a check mark next to one of the fields in the preset:

    A common mistake is to have the check mark on an empty field - which will Erase the field when you import the pic.

  • Lightroom does not update Photoshop Elements catalog

    I tried to post this question before, but maybe I put it in the wrong place. In all cases:

    I have two catalogs Photoshop elements 11 (PSE). When I switched to Lightroom, I was able to update one of these catalogues with only minor hiccups. Lightroom searched my records and found the catalog by itself.

    Now, I want to upgrade the second. I need to keep separate the first catalogue. However, when I try to upgrade the second catalog I can't access it. Lightroom displays the catalog already modernized PSE but provides no way to access the second for selection.

    The user guide says that I can choose any PSE catalog for the upgrade, but appears not to be the case.

    Any suggestions?

    Never mind. I just thought of it. Lightroom will find other catalogs only if they are the last catalogue used with PSE. I just went to PSE, load of the catalog, I wanted to update and closed PSE. Then I relaunched Lightroom and do a file > catalog Upgrade PES and this time Lightroom found.

    Why my printer say my appears not connected to my computer

    Hello @momodeda!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I don't know why the computer does not show the printer offline, but I would be happy to provide help to try and get communicating them again!

    The first thing I would suggest is to power cycle all the devices.  Remove the power to the printer, shut down the computer and remove the power to the router.  Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the router.  Wait for the lights on the router to return.

    Plug the printer in and turn on the computer.  Once all devices are back on, try printing again.

    If this does not work then I would recommend uninstalling the HP software.  Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.

    It is a catalog that you created on your computer, or coming from another computer?

    If it is one that has been created on your computer, you can search your computer to see if you have two different versions of Lightroom installed. If so, then you want to open the new version of Lightroom by double-clicking its icon, and then you should be able to open the catalog.
