Re: Questions about LR database manipulations
Igor PDML-StR wrote: I know that several people on PDML have extensive expertise with LR. So, I would like to ask a few questions about the information I cannot find. In the context of LR: 1. Is there any difference of how the editing information (and not just the end result, but also the editing steps) and metadata are handled between the following two scenrios of moving photo files: a) within LR b) within the OS, and then reattaching in LR via locate photos? I find that it is less work for me to move the photos from within lightroom. If you are moving them on a directory level, you can get away with find directory, sometimes. There is a function that finds out what all the photos are missing are, but it doesn't locate them for you, it just gives you what is effectively a collection of all the photos where lightroom can't find the raw files. I've seen recommendations for both scenarios, but more for (b), especially in case of large quantities of files/folder. Those people argue that the moving using OS means is more efficient, while moving within LR is prone to problems/interruptions (e.g. if LR encounters a problem alone the way). I haven't seen any authoritative information if there is any difference between the two with respect to handling editing and metadata information, especially if the information is not written back into the file (or .xmp), but kept within the LR database. I do recommend that you do a manual backup (i.e. copy the directory tree) of your lightroom catalogs before you start, that way if things go pear shaped, you can return to where you are. I assume there shouldn't be any problem, but I am not 100% sure. I am also curious if there is a difference in this behavior between LR-3 and LR-5. 2. If I am merging catalogs and importing one into another, I understand that I can check-mark the option to preserve duplicates as virtual copies. My question is what happens in that case if I have Collections with the same names? How is the clash resolved by LR? Again, if there is a difference between LR3 and LR5, I'd like to know.

Re: OT for the amateur mechanics amongst us.
I came across this exact issue in a Halfords (vehicle supplies shop in UK) car park. A young woman asked me to look at her car and see if I could give an opinion on why the starter wasn't turning the engine over. I went through the usual stuff - flat battery, starter jammed etc and then she said I just topped the engine oil up. I asked her how much oil she'd but in and she showed me a 5 litre (approx a galllon) container. That much? I asked - and she said no, one and a half of them. I took the filler off and the oil level was near the top. I suggested that she drain it off and she said that she'd call her dad. How they managed to drain it in a car park I can't imagine...

It looks like b2evolution has been vulnerable to SQL injections and so that would be my first guess. In some cases the vulnerability results in your site being used to spam which ends up getting your site blacklisted by your web host or Google or other sites.

A company I used to work for found that out; after that we set up our own remote backup system which proved quite useful in the long run.

Re: Questions about LR database manipulations
Larry, thank you for some suggestion. Manual backup of all the original files in the current state (I have backups of the original state files, and of the LR databases), - is a good idea.

In the context of LR: 1. Is there any difference of how the editing information (and not just the end result, but also the editing steps) and metadata are handled between the following two scenrios of moving photo files: a) within LR b) within the OS, and then reattaching in LR via locate photos? I've seen recommendations for both scenarios, but more for (b), especially in case of large quantities of files/folder.

Re: PESO(s) I have but one Egret...
Odd. I use the full matrix metering on both the k-5 and k-3 when shooting egrets, and I haven’t blown one out in recent years. Generally, white objects will slightly underexpose because a dumb meter considers them neutral. I’ve shot them both against a bright sky and against dark water and shrubs. No blow outs. I don’t believe I used exposure comp on any of the shots. I do shoot RAW and usually pull down highlights in conversion. Paul On Oct 3, 2014, at 7:20 PM, Jack Davis jdavi...@comcast.net wrote: P.J.

Louis Lunch is one of half a dozen places in the US that has some valid claim to inventing the modern hamburger. They used to be open between 11 AM and 3 PM, but since the entire building was moved to it's present location, to make way for a Southern New England Telephone Co. (SNET), building, it's now in the entertainment district, and open till 1 or 2 PM to feed the bar crowds as they begin to wend their way home at closing time.
