After editing a photo in another program, the photos return to the library at the end of the grid panel instead of at their original loacation.  How do I avoid this or alternatively, is there a quick way of moving them back to their original position instead of clicking and dragging them?

  • Is there a quicker way to do a back-up of a full Lightroom catalogue & DNGs?

    Hoping someone can help - sorry if I'm being thick, I'm not very techno-minded!
    I am working with Lightroom 3 on a Mac OS X 10.5.8. I archive photos from the Mac hard drive onto an external hard drive (linked to the Mac via an AirPort) every few months, moving them within Lightroom to keep them visible in my working catalogue, so I can continue to access them. The Mac is backed up using the Time machine function every hour, and my automatic Lightroom catalogue backup is saved to the Mac hard drive, thus being backed up onto Time machine automatically as well (Is this wrong?).
    I want to back up my archived photos from the external hard drive onto a second external hard drive, then kept off-site, in case of failure / fire etc, backing up both the actual photos (DNGs) and the Lightroom adjustments etc. I thus need to update this back-up hard drive whenever I archive a new set of photos, the aim being to get a copy of the archive and get the back-up hard drive off the premises asap, to ensure I always have a back up of all my archived photos once they are moved off my Mac. Up till now I have been doing this by "exporting as a catalogue, with negative files", onto the second hard drive; however as my archived catalogue has now reached 14,000 photos, this latest export as a catalogue has taken 2 days.... Am I missing some easier (quicker) way to do this, please??? I don't just want a copy of the catalogue, I need the actual photos backed up as well. Hope this makes sense.

    BTW, at one point the advice was to not let Time Machine backup your catalogue file if Lr had it open. I'm pretty sure this is still a problem.  Either always make sure Lr is not running when TM runs, or excuse the catalogue file via the TM preferences.  There is a slight risk of corrupting the catalogue otherwise.
    According to the Help documents, when Lr 3 is open it marks itself as private and therefore excluded from Time Machine backups. Once the application is closed down it can be backed up by Time Machine.
    Re original question - use a purpose designed backup application as suggested by clvrmnky. Trying to do it any other way will get you into a world of hurt.

  • I am away from home on holiday and all my contacts have disappeared from my iPad2. I have done  hard reset, but to no avail. Is there any other way to get them back other than syncing with my home pc?

    I am away from home on holiday and all my contacts on my iPad have disappeared. I have tried a hard reset but they have gone. Is there anything else that can be done other than waiting until I get home to my main pc?

    Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
    A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
    Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
    Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
    Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

    I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

    At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
    When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
    - If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
    - If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

  • Keynote Crashing - with Lion.   Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding.  If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

    Keynote Crashing - with Lion.   Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding.  If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

    I posted this on another thread. See if this works:
    1) Uncheck "Backup previous version" in Keynote's Preferences.
    2) Make a duplicate copy of your file that has issues and save it.
    3) If you still get spinning wheels from switching between apps after editing or 10 seconds of inactivity, manually save with command+s. It may beach ball here but be patient and wait for it to finish! Try editing and resume doing work now.
    Command+s may be a bit slow but I think that might be normal since the files are so big.
    Good luck and let me know if this works.

  • After the most recent update my phone was restored to factory settings.... and all of my pictures are gone! Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!

    After the most recent software update  my phone was restored to the factory settings and all of my photos were lost.... Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Photos are meant to be uploaded to your computer for archival and storage.  Certainly before doing something as major as a software update, you've done this, correct?  In this case, your photos should be residing safely on your computer and you can just synch them back.

  • I updated the version to my i phone 4 and deleted my photos and contacts...is there a way to get them back...i am not sure i backed up the data

    i updated the version to my i phone 4 and deleted my photos and contacts...is there a way to get them back...i am not sure i backed up the data

    Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address book etc) or with a cloud service (iCLoud, Google, Yahoo). Sync your contacts back from wherever you were making the backup of them. If you have not been backing them anywhere, then they are most likely gone.
    If you updated the iOS through iTunes and assuming that your photos were present at the time of update and you deleted the photos afterwards; you may try restoring the iPhone from the last backup, provided that you had not synced your iPhone after deleting the photos.

    You can restore your iPad with your iPhone backup but items that are iPhone only will not transfer.  It should recreate all your folders.  It can't hurt anything to try.

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Is there a quick way in the print dialog to print at 50% opacity?

    It would depend on your printer driver. The availability and location of that setting is something that varies from printer to printer. For instance at school, printing on HP LaserPrinters it is an option under Image Quality with 3 choices (Default, SaveToner, Best Quality). At home, printing on a Canon bubblejet, it is a slider for intensity. On a previous HP inkjet, it was a slider for darkness.
    Once you find it (if your driver has the option) you can save the setting by clicking the Presets button.
