Re: Stupid Lightroom Question
I don't think it's odd at all. For whatever solution I've come up with to do almost anything since I've known you, you've come up with a solution which is almost always the exact opposite. LOL! I use LR to work the organization of file on my hard drive for me automatically, and use IPTC information to establish categories, much of it automatically embedded into the metadata on import. If I then need files grouped by category (ie: by customer, or by job, or by project), I can find all the categories I want and move the files into such named directories inside LR efficiently and quickly, retaining the date organization .. or not .. according to my needs. Absolutely all of my original image file manipulations are on external volumes too, without exception. I use ONE working drive as fundamental repository, and two archive drives to secure and back that up ... period. This way I always know where everything in the working set, and the archive sets, is, primarily by date but also by subgroups in the file system as well as by metadata descriptors like keywords, camera type, etc. Constantly renaming and changing parts of the original file storage system externally is most likely why LR does what it does in your case. How you want to manage your workflow is your business, I know many different ways to do it. I do what I do because I find it most useful, outside of LR, to locate things by the dates I remember, not by whatever "category du jour" I dreamed up at the time I imported them. I also arranged this setup so that if I dumped LR tomorrow and moved to another image processing toolset, I could do so without any losses other than my image processing/rendering efforts on unfinished work … the IPTC metadata is readable by almost any good image management software, and I save that into the files every time I do an import. My goal in responding was to explore what MIGHT be the issue that you are running into, not to tell you how to run your workflow. I don't really care about that.

Long term is basically Year/month/shoot with shoot named yymmdd_mnemonic Under the shoot directory I may split things out as convenient, by person being photographed, set of photos in a panorama, type of airplane, then individual airplane. There may be multiple "shoot" directories that all start off with the same date: 240102 Or there may be several days in the same shoot directory with a date arbitrarily chosen for the naming. So, I basically import into ~/photos_fresh/shoot Organize the shoot directory/directories (if I import from different cameras into different directories) Do all of my processing, then I'd move the shoot directory tree: ~/photos_fresh/240102_example into its final resting place: /mnt/photo_bb/2024a/2401/240102_example > > When I take pictures around home, I import via LR directly to my internal > drive in the appropriate month’s directory. > > For me, I found that using named folders (e.g., Birds, Water Falls, baseball, > …) led me down too many rabbit holes, and I keep my folders by date.

Re: Stupid Lightroom Question
My basic file system: Folders = -Master for values of from 2002 to 2024. Subfolders are - 01Jan, - 02Feb, etc. I use a similar approach for image naming, renaming on import to mmdd-NNx.dng, building onto the in-camera naming sequence preceded by a camera designator such as K1a, K1b, 645Z... Space permitting, current year and previous year reside on my internal drive. Whenever I do a major import or editing session, I copy the -Master to a -Copy x, Copy x+1, etc. folder on 1 or two hard drives. If I go on a trip, current and prior year’s -Copy x+1 is copied to a 2 TB SSD to take along, both for en route backups from the laptop, but also in case I want to go back into something from a few months ago. Back home, I copy from the SSD to my internal drive in the appropriate - month folder(s) and then in LR I point at those and have LR Synch. When I take pictures around home, I import via LR directly to my internal drive in the appropriate month’s directory. For me, I found that using named folders (e.g., Birds, Water Falls, baseball, …) led me down too many rabbit holes, and I keep my folders by date. All other cataloging is done first via key wording on import, modified/extended key wording during review/editing, and then Catalogs for gathering images of some category or another. Annual favorites, Selections from November trip, Macro Flowers, … When I am working on a photo book, I drop selected images into catalogs/sub-catalogs in my preliminary preparation phase. One exception to my rule about sticking to folders: I do have a folder on my internal drive labeled Current Exports. Basically temporary storage for images to post as a PESO, GESO, on FB, or send in an email to friends. Such images typically have been given a reasonably high star rating in LR. I can easily delete or lose the Current Export images and re-locate them within LR by doing a screen by ratings. In your work flow, you mention “moving directories” from one place to another. Are you using the OS to do this? Or are you doing this within LR?

They never change place on the Folders panel. Oddly, you and I seem to have different workflows. I import files into my "photos_fresh" directory on my SSD. I then organize them into topical subdirectories when processing. You aren't interested in the full directory tree methodology, but this way if Lightroom ever goes away, I have a nice logical way of finding things in whatever I use next. Once I have finished processing, or at least sorting, the files they get copied onto long term storage, an external case with my entire catalog on a couple of drives. And every so often, I do a "catchup", where I "export to catalog" all of the files I have edited since my last catchup, and then import those changes to my "everything" catalog. Since I mostly only use the external drives when I'm archiving files, or occasionally reworking old files, I don't usually even have it plugged in or connected to the trashcan, protecting it from anything that might go wrong with the computer. > > The reason for this is probably because, when I set them up, I drilled down > through the directory hierarchy on the volumes to the root of the photo > storage directory trees and then told LR to "Hide Parent Directory" on all > folder hierarchies above (or below, per your perspective) that point.

Hmm, interesting, it is convenient for me to know where certain directory trees are. Some years are on one of the external drives, other years on the other. There are other branches as well.

Re: Stupid Lightroom Question
Like Godfrey, I have not seen this behavior in LR. I just looked, I right-clicked on some of my Folder and Drive names in the list, played a bit with the options such as Hide this Parent or Show Parent Folder… Those are possibly the settings that Godfrey suggested you might be looking for.

Re: Stupid Lightroom Question
Oh yes: I also have LR set to display only the directory name, not the entire directory path, in the Folders panel. That might be affecting dynamic ordering as well. I doubt this problem has anything to do with an engineering decision trying to "help you". It's probably just a consequence of the way LR parses the directory names and orders the tree dynamically. When you make changes that affect the whole tree, it changes the parsing and display calculations; the ordering likely bubbles up the most recent changes to the top of the list as a side effect.

Re: Stupid Lightroom Question
Hmm. I have, at present, three physical volumes comprising the media that LR Classic 13.1 has imported original files from in that list in the Folders panel. They never change place on the Folders panel. The reason for this is probably because, when I set them up, I drilled down through the directory hierarchy on the volumes to the root of the photo storage directory trees and then told LR to "Hide Parent Directory" on all folder hierarchies above (or below, per your perspective) that point. So I don't see, in LR, all the other directories on the volumes; only the entire directory of original image files starting at its local root. Any other directory/file manipulations on these volumes is therefore invisible to LR Classic, and cannot reorder the placement of the volumes in the Folders listing. There's no need to see the entire directory tree structure of the import volumes, only the directory trees from which you have imported files, which should always have a single root.. that's my logic behind setting it up this way. That's my conjecture anyway. Try it. :D G > On Jan 1, 2024, at 8:59 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > > >> On Jan 1, 2024, at 8:55 PM, Larry Colen wrote: >> >> >> I'm running Lightroom Classic 13.

Dumb Lightroom Question
So, somehow I have managed to not have any previews in Lightroom, so what is happening is that as I scroll through my pictures, it is building previews on the fly. As you can imagine, this is quite time consuming, as I have to scroll through the directory, wait for what is on the screen to build, and then scroll down to another blank section of screen and wait for previews to build, etc. Is there a way to get Lightroom to point to a directory and build previews without going to the effort of scrolling through all 36000 or so images on my hard drive? thanks for any help.. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Camera Raw is a plug-in in the context of Adobe Photoshop, but it is an integrated, embedded component of Lightroom. Although they refer to it as Camera Raw (because the plug-in and the embedded contexts use the same code), you cannot update Camera Raw independently in the case of Lightroom. I run only macOS, iOS, and iPadOS machines. I can't tell you what works or doesn't on Linux, Windows, or Android OS platforms: I have no experience using them for photography or image processing purposes. LR 6.14 had broken bits getting increasingly severe through macOS 10.14.x revisions. When I updated to macOS 10.15 "Catalina", LR broke and would not run. After doing an extensive amount of trails with various alternatives, On1 being the most promising of them, I gave up for the present and installed Lightroom Classic … Because I needed to get some work done again. All the problems disappeared and I'm back to my usual productive photo workflow since, and the cost is a $10 per month charge to keep using it. I don't use the Adobe Cloud at all: with LR Classic, the application operates the same way it did with LR 6.x, but they do try to push you to use the Cloud services and the Lightroom Cloud-based version. I don't need to, I don't, and I won't. And I keep looking for a usable alternative that nets the same productivity and consistency. I haven't found one yet, but Photos (supplied with macOS, iOS, and iPadOS) continues to look good when supplemented with "RAW Power" (by Gentlemen Coders - https://gentlemencoders.com) for more useful control of the rendering specifics. I also have Affinity Photo that works well as a Photoshop replacement. And a few other hopefuls that I'll test out when I get a chance. My new camera (Hasselblad 907x with the CFVII 50c digital back) produces native raw files that LR Classic understands and works very well with. Hasselblad also provides their own image processing and control software for macOS and iOS/iPadOS (Phocus 2 and Phocus 2 Mobile). I've tested this briefly so far: it works pretty well from what I have seen and offers some advantages for that camera over LR Classic, as well as extensive tethered operation in the case of Phocus 2 Mobile and the iPad Pro 11". I'll spend more time learning it and working with it as well.

Re: Lightroom Question
I'm using Photoshop CS6 with ACR 9.1.1 and also LIghtroom v6.0. I only have two newer lenses - DFA 28-105 and DFA 15-30 - but profiles for both seem to be supported, even though Adobe says they are not. Screenshots: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/lens-correction-in-acr-9?blog=9 The only thing is that neither ACR or Lightroom detect the unsupported lenses. When I check "enable profile correction" nothing happens but if I then select Pentax under "Make"both ACR and LR detect the lens at that point and load the profile. The officially supported lenses are automatically detected without the lens make being entered. This does not make the lens name appear in the file's exif data, but I think that running the raw files through an up to date version of Adobe DNG converter will add that info.

Re: Lightroom Question
Yes. The LensTagger plugin presents you with a screen where you can fill in the relevant data, and save it as a preset. When you run the command, it is actually executed by another program, the exiftool by Phil Harvey. Afterwards, you need to update metadata from file in LR to see the change. To run the plugin on multiple files, you just select them in the Library module before starting the plugin. The processing capacity seems to be a max limit of between 30 and 50 files somewhere.

RE: Lightroom Question
Hi Bill, I suspect someone on the list probably has a more detailed knowledge of this question. But maybe a small tidbit that I know could be helpful. I am not sure what you meant by the "wrong platform": Mac vs. Windows or LR CC vs earlier versions. There is a tool "Adobe Lens Profile Creator" available for download for both Mac and Windows: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html#Adobe_Lens_Profile_Creator What I don't know if this profile would work for the earlier versions of LR. More over, - I am not sure if this profile creator allows you to enter "unknown" lenses in the database. From what I understand, - it allows saving lens profiles for corrections in LR, but maybe it would also allow adding a new lens.

Re: Lightroom question: cropped DNGs for panoramas
Larry Colen wrote: The Lightroom panorama function works pretty well, for most things. However, I have a couple cases of adjacent frames that each have a meteor trail in them. Since I can't tell LR which areas I specifically want to include/exclude in a panorama, is it possible to take my initial DNGs, and crop copies of them so that the area with the meteor trail is only in one file, forcing LR to include the meteor trail in the final panorama? I haven't yet tried this, I expect that it might work by using the export or print functionality, I.e. make a crop and export the cropped area as a DNG (or if need be a TIFF).

Lightroom question: cropped DNGs for panoramas
The Lightroom panorama function works pretty well, for most things. However, I have a couple cases of adjacent frames that each have a meteor trail in them. Since I can't tell LR which areas I specifically want to include/exclude in a panorama, is it possible to take my initial DNGs, and crop copies of them so that the area with the meteor trail is only in one file, forcing LR to include the meteor trail in the final panorama? I haven't yet tried this, I expect that it might work by using the export or print functionality, I.e. make a crop and export the cropped area as a DNG (or if need be a TIFF). I suspect that this is something trivial to do in Photoshop, but that's a can of worms I'd rather avoid at the moment. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Lightroom Question

Re: Lightroom Question
In my experience, it's much more likely that the card had some issue with its file system at that time. It hardly matters, but in every case like this I've examined when I was teaching and doing client support, the issues were never resolved to be a LR fault, they were always something in the card, the camera, the cable, the reader, etc. If LR allowed Move or In Place mode operations, something about the card or in the chain of operations that mounted it did not inform LR that it was a DCIM storage device. It would be interesting to know what that was. :-) Godfrey On Aug 20, 2014, at 1:14 PM, Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com wrote: This card came out of a K-5. Lr apparently glitched.

Create a collection and put in it all those you've initially selected. Award each photo one star. Put a filter on the collection so that it shows just those photos which have one star. As you review each picture either remove the star, or give it another star. When you've completed the first round, change the filter to 2 stars.

Re: Yet another LightRoom question (YaLRQ :-) )
Alternative solution: When you end a session, then Select all those you've looked at. Keyword as Reviewed. Every time you resume, use the same filter and ordering to pull your 10k photos, then filter that set on the Keyword Reviewed. The last picture in the new set will be the last picture you looked at in your previous session. Select it, return to the previous broader filters, and proceed to screen until your eyes cross from fatigue. stan On Aug 22, 2013, at 2:52 AM, Bob W wrote: Create a collection and put in it all those you've initially selected.

Re: YELQ - yet another lightroom question
Boris, Here's the easiest way to achieve what you want without use of any other software: Note: I assume that by Export you mean output and process to a finished set with all adjustments embedded, and retain the file system structure. - Put all the files that you want to export from wherever in your catalog they might be into a Collection. - Choose Export as Catalog from the File menu, give the export catalog a name, and choose to export previews and negative files. This will create a catalog folder inside of which Lightroom will place the catalog file (.LRCAT), previews (.LRDATA), and a folder hierarchy matching the original one that your files were stored in. - Quit Lightroom and reopen it using the newly created catalog file. - Click All Photographs in the Library module's Catalog panel, then select all. - Choose Export from the File menu. In Export Location choose Export to: Same folder as original photo; I also check the Add to This Catalog option. Set any other export parameters per your desires. Click Export. When done, a complete set of finished exports now exists in the duplicated directory structure, and the originals you exported from are selected in the Lightroom catalog. Press the Delete key and choose the option to put the originals in the Trash. - Quit Lightroom, open the catalog directory and put the .LRCAT and .LRDATA items into the trash. Empty the trash. (I know Windows likely uses a different term for trash, but I presume that is obvious... ;-) Now you have a folder containing a duplicated directory tree of exported files that matches the original files' directory tree.

Re: YELQ - yet another lightroom question
Couple of notes: - if you have a bunch of Virtual Copies in your originals set, you'll create exports for all of them and the originals too using this method exactly as stated. There are several ways to eliminate this side effect, but I'll leave them as an exercise for the reader. ;-) - you don't have to tell the export function to add the exports back to the catalog. I do that for proofing. If you don't, all you have to do to eliminate the masters is delete them to the trash, quit, and delete the catalog and previews files. The exports will be left behind.

lightroom question, migrating publish services
I've been making use of the lightroom publish services in my working catalog. I've got all sorts of handy ones set up for different resolutions, topics etc, which makes it easy for me to upload files, and then find the publish collection later. I'd like to copy these from my working catalog to my archive catalog, so that if I update something in the archive catalog, I can publish it and just update the file on flickr, rather than uploading a second copy of the pictures. I haven't seen an easy way to do this. Actually, I haven't found any way to do this. Has anyone been successful at it? In a similar vein, I'd like to checkpoint my working catalog as an archival backup, duplicate it, and trim out a lot of the older photos so that I have a newer, smaller, faster working catalog with a different name (120307_working.lrcat rather than 110716_working.lrcat). I don't want to lose my publish services etc. in the process. I can find backup a catalog, but I can't find duplicate catalog with a different name. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
lightroom question: sorting manual from auto focus?
I assume that the exif data for photos mention whether they were taken on auto focus or manual focus. Is there a reasonably easy way in lightroom to sort photos out based on that? I'd like to see how often I focus on the mic rather than the musician, versus how often the camera does. I would settle for something that looked at the exif data and added a tag in lightroom based on info in the exif.

Re: lightroom question: sorting manual from auto focus?
There's an EXIF token FocusMode that EXIFtool can read, but I suspect it's somewhat variable as to what cameras support using it and how it's included in EXIF data. Lightroom does not display it nor present it as a sorting option, so you'd need to write a script with EXIFtool to determine if a file had it, interpret the data associated, and then generate and insert a keyword. If you save metadata in LR first, run a script external to LR to do this on your files, then re-open LR and tell it to read metadata, it will include the new keywords in the catalog.

Re: lightroom question: moving/copy
In a sense, yes. However, Bridge does not maintain an editing history or allow organization of files into collections and groupings independent of the file system. It simply records IPTC annotations and adds them to the processing parameter settings that Camera Raw writes into .XMP sidecar files (if you have Camera Raw configured that way ...). The .lrcat file is the database file representing a Lightroom catalog that contains all the information produced or used by Lightroom about the particular set of files you've imported into it, excepting the original files themselves and the previews generated for Lightroom to display. File location, type, time and date, EXIF data, IPTC data, any processing operations, groupings with other files, slide/print/web preset associations, etc etc etc, are all in the .lrcat file. This is a superset of what .XMP sidecar files can contain for each file, one file at a time. XMP data is limited to static IPTC and image adjustment parameters written as image metadata.

Not sure how to relocate/point to a different copy when the original is there and the thumbnails don't have that ? asking where the original is, though. That's the right way to do it for large directory trees of original image files. Right- or control-clicking on a folder name in the Folders panel brings up a popup menu with the command Update Folder Location You can essentially have multiple identical copies of the folder tree. Expose the topmost parent folder in the tree and just point LR to whichever one you want it to use at any time. I don't know. I guess that depends on how lightroom stores information about edits changes. I *think* it may use sidecar (.xmp) files ... Lightroom stores information about all operations on an image file, along with all the parameters, IPTC annotation, keywords, file location in the file system, etc, into an SQLlite database file. That's what the .lrcat or catalog file is. It can optionally store metadata describing the state and processing parameters (along with IPTC annotations) into .XMP format sidecar files for native raw files, or into DNG files. It can do the same with JPEG, PSD and TIFF files as well, if you enable that option. This is a subset of the full information contained in the database file as it does not contain the edit history, inclusion into collections, etc. It is simply a static output of the state of the processing controls?and IPTC metadata in Adobe eXtensible Metadata Protocol format. (I do not enable automatic synchronization of metadata nor do I enable it to store processing information into JPEG, PSD and TIFF files ... it's unnecessary unless you wish to use other applications in the Adobe Creative Suite which are aware of this information and synchronized to utilize it in conjunction with Lightroom and Camera Raw. Occasionally, in the production of rendered JPEG files, I force Lightroom to write metadata to files as I sometimes produce the rendered JPEG files through writing out a slide show or by compositing several images in the Print module. The procedure then is to import those exported products, synchronize the IPTC metadata from the original files, and force a write of the IPTC annotation so that it can be picked up on flickr and used by clients. I always strip processing information and EXIF camera data from my image products ... there's no point to including it.) - No virus found in this message.

lightroom question: moving/copy
Last weekend, when photographing at a dojo event, I ran out of space on the harddrive that I've been using for my raw files. So, I put the raw files from the weekend onto an external drive. When I was at Costco today, they had a good price on a 3TB USB3 external drive, so I picked it up to be for just my raw files. I've been using lightroom to copy directory trees over from the old (Mixed use) drive to the new (just photo) drive. I've been running into some problems when part of a directory tree is already there and I can't just copy the top of the remaining tree over because the top level directory already exists. But, I'm solving those hiccups. I've got a bunch of files on the external drive, but rather than moving them to the new drive, I want to copy them, and just tell lightroom to use the copy, that way I've got all of the files in a convenient place for me to share with other people.

RE: lightroom question: moving/copy
Don't use LR to move it across the network, it's painfully slow.

Re: lightroom question, sorting by autofocus
Lightroom does not include the Focus Mode or any other focusing system EXIF tokens in the EXIF metadata it displays. Probably the best thing you can do is to use EXIFtool to extract the focusing specific information from your image files in a list and then add it to the image files as keywords. (I suspect the reason they don't show it is that there are a number of different EXIF tokens used by different manufacturers for focus specific aspects of a capture ... it would be a fairly complex mess to sort it out and present it in a sensible way for all camera makes and models.)
