How to manage multiple sizes of the same image?

I recently took up LightRoom for all the good things it does. One of the things I need to do, however, is to create and manage multiple sizes of the same image needed for different purposes. I always found this cumbersome. I totally expected that the LR library would offer a solution for this but I looked and I didn't see anything. Sure you can export and resize in the process but then you're on your own. Am I missing something? Isn't there a better way? What does Adobe have in mind for best practices and how do you handle this?

I can't speak for 99jon, but when I need multiple sizes, I export at the desired sizes, and then make use of the exported photos (upload, e-mail, whatever) and then delete the exports. Thus, there's really no need for me to keep track of the photo at this specific size, knowing that if I ever need it again -- unlikely -- I can regenerate it with the export pre-set, so I put no effort (zero!) into keeping track of photos at different sizes.
The idea of adding it back into the catalog doesn't get me excited, and I would advise against it. I don't need this, and I don't see the benefit of keeping this particular size export for the long-term. As I said, I can always recreate it — but maybe you have such a need to keep these exports long-term and recreating it at a later point in time doesn't meet your needs? Can you explain?
By the way, you can't resize a virtual copy, so that won't work here. The only time you can resize is on export.

  • In OEM 12c, how to manage multiple incidents at the same time?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to manage multiple incidents at the same time? For example, if I want to assign owner for multiple incidents in the incident manager, is there a way to do this? Thanks for the help.

    This is currently not supported. This support will be available as part of the next patch set release.
    Please note that you can use Incident rules to assign owners to incidents as they come in or get updated.

  • How to treat multiple instances of the same image

    In my W/F I use Lightroom as my catalog and main edit tool but also create (using capture NX) tiff images to be edited in PS and also create jpegs in different formats for web browsing or slideshows.
    To my knowledge, while LR provide a powerful version tool to maintain different edits of the same image, it doesn provide anything to manage different processing  stages of the same image.
    Does anybody face the same issue ? How do you manage ?

    It sounds like you have two requirements:
    1. That different processing stages in time be saved
    2. That different output versions be tracked and updated
    It seems like #1 can be managed using virtual copies or History snapshots, depending on what you need.
    #2 should be automatic on export. When you export, you can set an export folder, which can also be saved as a preset. If you have one export preset for PSDs and another for JPEGs, you simply save an export preset for each output. In addition, you can select "Add to this catalog" so that Lightroom automatically tracks the separate folders where it exported the PSDs and JPEGs. When you want to export, you just select the right preset and everything is put in the right place for you and you can see where they went.
    You might also look into the Publish Services feature since it can do all of the above, and also can automatically track when you change the source image and let you know which exported files (like PSDs and JPEGs) need to be updated. Then you just click one button and they're all updated in their folders.

  • How to manage multiple operation within the same partner link ?

    Hi,
    I have a partner link with 2 possible operations : "sayYes" and "sayNo".
    I want to do the following : if the operation is "sayYes", I return "YES", if it's "sayNo", I return "NO".
    (not really complex... in theory)
    In my WSDL file, I have the following :
         <message name="TestPickRequestYesMessage">
              <part name="payload" element="client:TestPickProcessYesRequest"/>
         </message>
    <message name="TestPickRequestNoMessage">
              <part name="payload" element="client:TestPickProcessNoRequest"/>
         </message>
         <message name="TestPickResponseMessage">
              <part name="payload" element="client:TestPickProcessResponse"/>
         </message>
         <portType name="TestPick">
              <operation name="sayYes">
                   <input message="client:TestPickRequestYesMessage" />
                   <output message="client:TestPickResponseMessage"/>
              </operation>
    <operation name="sayNo">
                   <input message="client:TestPickRequestNoMessage" />
                   <output message="client:TestPickResponseMessage"/>
              </operation>
         </portType>
    The returned value is in a string variable : "return_value".
    I've created a "pick" activity :
    <pick name="Pick_1" createInstance="yes">
    <onMessage portType="client:TestPick" operation="sayYes"
    variable="inputVariableYes" partnerLink="TestPick">
    <sequence name="Sequence_1">
    <assign name="setReturnYES">

    </copy>
    <copy>
    <from variable="return_value"/>
    <to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"
    query="/client:TestPickProcessResponse/client:result"/>
    </copy>
    </assign>
    <reply name="replyOutputYES" partnerLink="TestPick"

    <reply name="replyOutputNO" partnerLink="TestPick"

    When I deploy and test this application, I have a huge problem : if a choose a "*sayNo*" message, my application do the following :
    The "pick" activity logs :
    <inputVariableYes>
    - <part name="payload" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    - <ns1:TestPickProcessNoRequest xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/TestPick">
    <ns1:input>
    blabla
    </ns1:input>
    </ns1:TestPickProcessNoRequest>
    </part>
    </inputVariableYes>
    I have a right "*TestPickProcessNoRequest *" message type.
    BUT, the next activity is "setReturnYES", instead of "setReturnNO".

    Can anyone tell me where I'm wrong ?
    It looks like the "pick" activity always go with the first sequence...

    Hi PhunkyBob,
    I also had a hard time, finding out that the problem was with the BPEL console and not with my processes -.-
    Perhaps it's the Browser, I too use Firefox. Did not try it in IE yet.
    Here is the solution, try to switch to XML View and then change the Operation! (you will notice that it changes properly) Then you can either send it that way or return to HTML View.
    I have always to it that way,.. gets really annoying when I have to test a process many times :-/ ...change to xml, change operation, back to html, making entries, send...
    If someone has a solution, other than changing the Brwoser, please post :-)
    greetings,
    Michael

  • What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

    Hi Everyone
    i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
    Cheers
    Liv

    If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
    If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.
    Your question as posed was:
    What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
    in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

  • How to support multiple users at the same time?

    Hi all,
    I have a Labview software which controls a analyzer via GPIB connector. When user A is using the software, user B has to wait until A is done. But actually, the analyzer is not very busy, when user A is using the software.
    I want user A, B, C and D can use the software at the same time. just like we can open Multiple websites at the same time.
    How can I program the software, so that the software can be open multiple times? Do you have any example?
    Thanks a lot.
    Steven
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are all the users going to be measuring the exact same thing from the same instrument?
    It would be possible to write a separate instrument server application that would handle all the direct interactions with the instrument. When one of the users needed to access the instrument, they would gain access to it through this server.
    The big, Big, BIG caveat is that each interaction with the instrument would need to be atomic. In other words each access would need to configure the instrument, initiate the reading, report the results, and then reset the instrument back to some known default value.
    As Dennis said, not a trivial process, but probably do-able...

  • How to display multiple reports at the same time

    Hi,
    I'm trying to display multiple reports at the same time, each one in separates tabs or windows using Forms 11g 11.1.1.6
    I have a button which has a call to a procedure which makes use of rp2rro library to show the specific reports, for example:
    call_report('report1');
    call_report('report2');
    call_report('report3');
    call_report('report4');
    The main problem is that, just the last report is been displayed.
    Is there some way to display report1, report2 etc in separate tabs or windows ??
    Regards
    Carlos

    You shouldn't have a problem calling different reports at once. As long as you're using Forms 11g they show up in different windows.
    The question is how you are calling the report.
    Here is how I manipulate it.
    After I pass parameters with the ADD_PARAMETER built-in I set some key values (destype, desformat, desname) with the RP2RRO's procedures.
    Finally calling RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT and then WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT passing the correct procedure parameters the report comes up in a window. If you repeat the above changing the appropriate variables (the report_name in the RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT and so on) you can get multiple reports in different windows.

  • How to configure multiple clusters on the same machine.

    I am attempting to configure multiple clusters on the same set of machines. I have set the cluster name and multicase IP addresses to be different for each cluster. However I am still getting and error that states:
    "This indicates that there are multiple clusters on this network attempting to use overlapping network configurations."
    Is this not possible? If it is possible, is there some further way i need to tell the VMs they are part of different clusters?
    Thanks,

    FYI: I'm using the wrong multicast IP above. 224.0.0.1 is reserved and something else should be used. See:

  • How do I relink multiple instances of the same image, in Illustrator CC?

    Is there a feature, like InDesign, where links automatically relink if they're in the same folder?
    Currently I have to search through the file structure multiple times even if the linked image is the same.
    Surely Illustrator should relink all instances of the same image and give the option search for any additional missing links in the same folder?
    I'd love to be pointed in the right direction, or if anyone has a script they've written to solve the problem, do let me know.

  • How to avoid multiple session for the same username

    I need suggestions on implementing single user login , like My system has a user with a username jdavid and my application should not allow two different sessions for the same username jdavid , can one session peep into all other session
    to see if the any has a usernaem jdavid, I am basically looking for some pattern if any available for restricting multiple session for the same username . like jaas or any other security api provides this ?

    Store a Map<User, HttpSession> in application scope and let your application intercept on that. On login, just check if the User is already there, then get the associated HttpSession, invalidate it and replace it by the current HttpSession, else just store the current User-HttpSession pair in the map. On logout obviously remove the User-HttpSession pair from the map.

  • Can I manage multiple iPads with the same Apple ID?

    I have a client that will have 4 iPads at a trade show to use as displays for a small animation about their product. We will need to install a kiosk app from the app store on all iPads. I'm confused about how Apple IDs fit into all of this. Will I be able to use the same Apple ID for all 4 iPads and install the kiosk apps on all 4 devices? I realize I might have to pay for the app 4 times, which I'm fine with.
    I found the iPad Configurator app, but since this is for a client, I dont want my work computer being used as the "main" computer to control them. Do I have any other options? I guess I'm looking for the best way to get the same apps on 4 different iPads using one Apple ID if that is possible. Thanks for any info!

    Yes - you can use the sasme AppleID on multiple iOS devices, and install the same apps. You can downoad the apps directly to the device (via WiFi) and not neccessarily need to synch them.

  • How to use multiple languages at the same time for spell checking?

    I use two different languages all the time and words are mostly so different (English and Finnish) that I could have spell checking on for both languages at the same time.
    Now it seem to allow to select only one language at the time and I have to switch back and fort zillion of times per day.

    Thanks for the quick answer.
    The Dictionary Switcher doesn't seem to work with Finnish language, it doesn't detect it at all to be one of the choices although in the Firefox context menu Languages -> Finnish/Finland is shown.
    Also, if it would work, I would need to get rid of multiple EN_* langauges. I just need EN_UK or EN_US, not all 22 different EN_*.
    One option would be to create a custom dictionary, which would have words from both languages. The next task is then to find out how to make this kind of custom ENFI-dictionary, which would have words from both English and Finnish languages.
    Finnish may be a some kind of special case for spell checking anyway, because the support is in its separate plugin:
    http://voikko.sourceforge.net/
