Best way to get already adjusted NEF photos into LR3???
Hi,
I am just starting to use Lightroom.
Now, my issue is how to get my old Photos into the Lightroom Database. The new Photos are no issue with as long as I get used to using Lightroom&Photoshop :-)
These "old" Photos have already been going through the adjustement process in Capture NX2. Lightroom and CaptureNX2 are saving the RAW editing in different positions. This leads to that the editing would be lost by importing them straightforward into Lightroom.
So, I do not want to perform the editing on thousands of Photos again. I do however want to get them into the Library Database of Lightroom.
My wish is to be able to see the Photos in some form ( JPEG??? ) as well as being in the database. Optimally the NEF should be connected to the view format.
My first thought was to convert the NEF to jpeg before importing them into Lightroom.
Pros: The NEF and JPEG sticks together (jpeg as a hidden piggyback)
Cons: I only see the NEF version and not the jpeg => "lost" the editing. I hoped to find a way to swap it around ( RAW as a hidden piggyback).
Question: Is there anyway of swapping the piggybacking around?
An other suggestions are also welcome!
I assume that there are some others out there that have experienced that same issue and found a solution to it.

I have used Nikon Capture NX2 quite a bit but am not using it anymore for the following reasons:
LR cannot read NX2-nefs; and NX2 cannot read LR's edits.
In my workflow I need LR and its image managing capabilities and its capabilities to sync multiple images fast.
After using LR since LR2, I am finding that LR 3 gives me all the editing tools that I need and I don't see any necessity to use NX2.
Sure, the U-point technology was great when nothing like that was available. But now I find that I can achieve the same results with LR's editing tools.
I would not want to have images on my computer that LR cannot read - or only if I create JPGs or TIFFs first, which just clogs up my hard drive with copies.
My advice would be: Learn to use LR's image editing capabilities - and particularly the local adjustments - and have all your images in LR.
If you have lots of images - as I do - to work with two different image editing softwares that cannot read each others edits is - in my view - a recipe for frustration and unnecessary work.
I love Nikon's cameras and lenses but for image editing LR is my choice.
BTW I am neither an Adobe employee nor do I own Adobe shares.

Getting Nikon D3100 NEF Photos Into CS4 Camera Raw
I am a novice photographer (some of my work is here: http://www.chrisinmotion.com/office1.htm). I recently bought a Nikon D3100 DSLR but can't for the life of me get any of the Native NEF images to open in Photoshop CS4 Camera Raw. What steps do I need to follow to accomplish this task and what additional software do I need to download. I have updated CS4 with all the plug-ins. I would be ever so grateful for a step by step outline. Thank you. -- Chris
The Nikon D3100 is NOT supported by any version of Adobe Camera Raw that runs with CS4. There will never be any updates to CS4.
You have three options:
1.— Upgrade to CS5; or
2.— Download the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, currently 6.4, and use it to convert your raw Nikon files to raw DNG files first, then open those raw DNG files in Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 hosted by Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); or
3.— Use the Nikon software. -
With the iPhone coming, what is the best way to get it only 7 months into my contract?
I don't really want to pay full price, which will probably run about $600. I was thinking about just adding an extra line, possibly, to my account and paying an extra $50/month, and switching the iPhone to my primary number. If I do that, maybe I can cancel the additional line after a few months and pay the fee? Considered the cancellation of the current line and paying the penalty, but I guess you have to wait 60 days before you establish service and I definitely don't want that.
How is everyone else going to get around this problem?sookie1973 wrote:

The ETF on the second line plus the cost of the extra service will almost certainly make your proposal just as expensive as purchasing the phone outright.
At the 12 month mark, you should have one last annual upgrade coming, so I would wait for that. I also imagine that Verizon will be announcing a few iPhone upgrade promotions because of high demand for the device. So keep your eyes peeled and be ready to take advantage of any that apply to you. Chances are that sometime between now and your 12 month mark, you'll be able to get a subsidized iPhone. -
Best way to get photos from windows explorer into PSE 11
Old story. Computer crashed. I re-installed PSE 11. All of the photos are back in My Pictures. What is the best way to get all of the photos back into PSE 11. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
Just a couple of things to know:
1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
Hope that helps!

I bought CS6 extended yesterday (yes i did). I have CS4 and lots of photo's in bridge (tagged with keywords). What is the best way to get my photos from bridge cs4 to cs6? Is there a guideline how to go about: so I don't loose any of my photos/keywords? Who can help?
The Bridge General Discussion can give you the specifics of transferring your information over to Bridge CS6.

What is the best way to scan and sort old photos in iPhoto
What is the best way to scan and sort old photos in iPhoto? They do not have digital dates.
Hey Chicago Sue,
Once you scan them and have them on your desktop. You should use Automator and assign the common IPTC tags to the images, so that when you do import them into iPhoto, they get recorded.
Here is an example of an action in Automator: -
What's the best way to get user testing of our app (we're based in the UK)
Hi all.
We've just developed our first app for Palm and would really like to get some feedback from Palm users (our app allows users to take photos and send them as real printed postcards. We'd be very happy to give users free postcards in exchange for feedback).
The problem we have is that Palm users are pretty sparse in the UK. We've found that user testing with non-Palm users becomes handset testing rather than app testing. We have to teach them how to use Palm ("Where's the back button?") and so the testing mainly focuses on the particularities of Palm rather than our app. Plus, we don't benefit from the user being able to compare to other Palm apps.
Any advice on the best way to get feedback from Palm users? Especially as they'll need to download the SDK and install our app using it in order to get it onto their phones.
If any of the users of this forum are interested in giving the app a go and sending us feedback, I'd love to send you the IPK and then chat. Just send me an email using [email protected]
Our app is available for Pixi+, Pre+ and Pre2.
Thanks,
Freddie.
Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121ueu (SFR)Hello freddie:
Welcome to the Palm Forums. Thank You for the offer. I highly suggest offering it up
to our many enthusiasts on Twitter as a beta with the #webos hashtag or joining
the Precentral.net community and list it in a topic there, homebrew beta. You would
get better beta response if you Package your app and put it in an ipk to simplify
the install.
Hope that helps... Best of luck with your app!

What's the best way to import ALL of my photos (34k +) and then share?
*Part I - importing:*
I've got approximately 34,400 photos on a networked drive that I need to be able to control using iPhoto. I want these files to stay on the network drive, but also be controlled by iPhoto (organized by date). Right now our photos folder on the network drive is a bit of a mess, some folders are named by date only and some are named by the event itself ("birthday 2009", etc.). I want this naming to go away in place of the iPhoto method (by date only). FYI, I am familiar with how to get to the "original" and "modified" folders/files within the iPhoto Library.
Question: Is there a way to get iPhoto to organize the photos (all by date) an leave the original photos on the networked drive? or do I need to:
> Import ALL photos into my iPhoto with the "import photos into iPhoto Library" option checked (iPhoto copies all original files to my laptop hard drive)
> Then manually move the file structure (all new folders created - by date) back to my networked drive
> THEN...remove all photos from the iPhoto Library and re-import the newly organized photos from the network drive but unchecking the "import photos into iPhoto Library" option.
Right now, both of our MacBook Pro's use iPhoto to access those photos independently of one another (each laptop does their own thing). This also creates problems because when files are imported on my laptop they are saved locally (on my laptop) and not on the network drive, same goes for my wife's laptop. Then she's not able to see those new photos.
*Part II - sharing:*
I'm also in the process of trying to figure out the best way to share all of our photos between our different laptops. Using the "sharing" function in iPhoto isn't ideal since that requires both laptops to be on.
My understanding of sharing the iPhoto library itself (having it saved on the networked drive) between two laptops is that only one laptop can access this library at a time, or there's potential of having the files become corrupt (two laptops trying to access the file at the same time).
Question: What's the best way to share photos between two laptops?
Thanks in advanceRONBO
Is there a way to get iPhoto to organize the photos (all by date) an leave the original photos on the networked drive?
Yes there is. But I don't recommend it as a way of working with iPhoto.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
The problems arise when you change the path to the Files. iPhoto has no way of reconnecting that path and you could find yourself resolving aliases one at a time for all 34k Photos.
Other apps, such as Aperture have a command to re-connect with the master files.
FYI, I am familiar with how to get to the "original" and "modified" folders/files within the iPhoto Library.
Good for you but never, ever access the files this way. Period. Within the iPhoto Package File there are no user sercviceable parts.
All your work gets done in the iPhoto Window. Everything you need to do can be done from there - and must be.
Then manually move the file structure (all new folders created - by date) back to my networked drive
Never, ever break up the internals of the iPhoto Package File. You'll break iPhoto if you do.
Also, what format is that Networked Drive? iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Question: What's the best way to share photos between two laptops?
If simultaneous sharing is your goal then you need to use a Media Server app. iPhoto isn't one.
The key really is the format of the NAS. IF you can make it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then you can easily store your Library on it and share it. Otherwise you need to use another application for the job.

What is the BEST way to get my macbook with lion on it, to communicate with my Canon 40D camera? It says the utility disk is a PowerPC app and that is no longer supported. What do I do now? I can't upload photos from my camera.
Also, I had the same problem happen when I tried to install an older version of Corel Painter. Are Macbook Pro users just NOT supposed to be able to use their laptops for the purposes they are best designed for?

Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.
Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.
https://www.icloud.com
You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

Starting Fresh With iTunes 9.0.1...best way to get music back in/import?
Had some library troubles with iTunes 9, and decided to do a clean install of not only the program, but of Snow Leopard itself. I was waiting on an iTunes update to come out before I decided to re-load my library in, since I didn't want to risk repeat problems (I've always been one of those bleeding edge-ers, and this is the 1st time I've ever had a problem/held back...guess I learned my lesson). 9.0.1 is out and seems to address the problems I'd been having, but I caught the "start fresh" bug and I want to start over with iTunes. No playlists, play counts, etc need to be saved.
I do have a full backup of my previous system (thanks SuperDuper!), and I'm wondering what the best way to get all of my music back into iTunes is.
-Do I use the Finder to simply drag the contents of my old "iTunes Music" folder into the new "iTunes Media" folder?
-Do I drag the whole folder and drop it onto the iTunes window? (I'm worried this method won't put iPhone apps, ringtones, audiobooks and podcasts in the right place).
-Do I use the import function?
Notes: prior to making the backup, I did upgrade to/select iTunes Media Organization
I did see THIS article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 but it says it's old and I wonder if it applies to iTunes 9.
Thanks for any help!You might want to check that your certificate that you made has been applied to iTunes.app
try this code in Terminal"
codesign -dvvvv /Application/iTunes.app

I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again . What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?
Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.
