Re: Yet another LightRoom question (YaLRQ :-) )
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.

I'm just starting to get the hang of Lightroom myself, but I think one thing you need to get used to is the idea that Lightroom doesn't save your JPEG results anywhere in particular. When you make an edit/ develop a RAW file, all you are really doing is entering the EDITS into a database. The RAW file sits there, untouched. When you decide to share this JPEG file with someone out there - either by copying the JPEG out, or creating a slide show, or by setting something up on the Web - that's when the file is exported and all of the changes you want to have happen to the file are applied. You don't really need to save the JPEG anywhere unless you're going to share it with someone. Otherwise, the Lightroom database has a list of the changes required to convert the original file to one that looks like what you want it to look like. Also - if you want to know where a file is located, there is a panel on the right-hand side with all of the metadata - one of them is the folder name where the original file is located - if you click on that, it shows you where that folder is in the Folders tree on the left- hand side. Right-clicking (or Ctrl-clicking on the Mac) that folder lets you choose, among other options, to show in Finder (and, I'll wager, Show in Explorer on Windows) where the file lives in your directories/folders. But no doubt I'm still on the bottom of the learning curve here. I agree that there is tons to learn to use it properly.

I've never used it but this says you can use it to edit EXIF information. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Digital-Photo-Tools/EXIFeditor.shtml I'm not sure but the lens name may be stored as a code of some type which would be used in conjunction with a Lookup table to display human readable information,. I know that none of the RAW converters I use, except for the Pentax Photo Browser/Photo Lab combination seem to be able to tell me the lens name. If there's no code you won't be able to update that field to display anything meaningful.

re: yet another Lightroom question
Charles answered Henk's original question on point. Summarizing, Lightroom does not create a JPEG, TIFF or PSD rendering of a RAW file with your edits until you tell it to explicitly with the Export function or implicitly with the edit in photoshop... or edit in another editor commands. (When you use these two commands, it creates a rendering in TIFF or PSD format alongside the original RAW file on disk, and this rendering is automatically entered into the catalog as well). In normal operation when you're using Lightroom to manipulate cropping, tonality, etc, it records your editing instructions in its catalog (and optionally in metadata either as an XMP sidecar file or into a DNG file directly) and renders the file as you have edited it on the fly for viewing and display. You can immediately get to any file that you see in the Library module using the Show In Finder [Windows Explorer] commands ... but in essence, you really shouldn't have to do that very often at all. It will create a JPEG/DNG/TIFF/PSD rendered file on demand via the Export function and place it anywhere you want to store it. My workflow places files that I import into a directory tree rooted as work-in-progress, files that I export are organized into a directory tree rooted as completed-images. Subdirectories tagged with project number, date and event, etc, are in both of these trees. The flow of work goes from card to work in progress to completed images after I'm done with them, if I need to export them. My working catalog contains only work in progress directory tree, I maintain a second catalog which imports only the completed images directory tree. I've found this to be an efficient organizational model for how to coordinate and store files and keep what I'm working on separate from what I've completed in the file system.

My guess is that there's no way to modify the EXIF to indicate an old A lens, because those lenses were never assigned an ID number. Yes. If you want to look at EXIF metadata, the tool you want to analyze and manipulate EXIF information is EXIFtool by Phil Harvey: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ This is a command line tool with extensive ability to read and edit EXIF data in a huge range of file types, including RAW file types. Be aware that manipulating the lens codes and other private maker data can be a little tricky and often doesn't give you want you want. I normally use the tool to read the data for analysis, not to edit it. As Matthew said, you can't put in lens data for lenses that never had it such that Lightroom will recognize it. Lightroom recognizes all Pentax lenses properly now, far as I can tell, given the data that is available. Learning and reference resources for Lightroom continue to grow, any list posted is quickly outdated with new ones. I strongly recommend people work with the video tutorials available at Adobe and Luminous- Landscape.com, and a few others. Adobe's tutorial videos are at http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/ Very well done stuff. There're also the news and blogs sites, which each have a bazillion other links to spin off from: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/ http://lightroom-news.com/ The books by Martin Evening, Scott Kelby and others have all been good, do a search on Amazon.com for current titles.
