You can tell LR to discard the previews and save some space, or tell it to discard them after a suitable unused period of time. But if you prefer Phase One, well, why not just stick with it? G On Feb 25, 2007, at 9:22 AM, Jens Bladt wrote: This sounds very nice, Godfrey. Of course. I can go

I don't know about the USB drive issue ... my external drives are connected with FireWire and Lightroom can import a folder of data from them without any problems. I imported the two 70Gbyte directories of photos -- 2003 and 2002 -- from my archive drive, handled it without a hitch.

You're missing something. Import gives you the choice of working on files from an existing location, or of using them in Lightroom's own internal database. I don't see much advantage to the latter. But once you've imported your files it's not fundamentally any different from using any other File

Hi James I can't answer all of those questions as I've only been playing with Lightroom and haven't used it as seriously as others on the list. I'm also still using the Lightroom beta - delaying installing version 1 until after the beta expires. Anyway - I have no problems importing from my

I haven't used Lightroom yet, but it sounds like it works in much the same way as ACR. You import a group of files with Bridge or Browser, convert a file, then export it either to Photoshop or to a folder where it's saved. On Feb 22, 2007, at 6:24 AM, Brian Walters wrote: Hi James I

Brian, If I were you, I'd download and go with the Lightroom 1.0 30 Day Free Trial. The 1.0 release has so much more functionality than the beta and runs faster, also many features have been enhanced or changed into better ways of doing things. The tutorial videos I mentioned are also very

I am not sure but I think you misunderstand what Auto Import is supposed to do. The concept is to define a place where you're going to drop files that you want Lightroom to work with. Lightroom, once started and assuming that you've set up the Auto Import facility appropriately, will look

Thanks, Godders I was trying to maximize my free time with Lightroom (being the basic cheapskate that I am). Anyway, I've taken your advice and installed Version 1. I'll give it a good trial over the next few weeks. Thanks for the tutorial links. Cheers Brian
