Converting to DNG but saving the original sequence # of image

When I am shooting, I keep a log of what I shot using the sequence number assigned my camera. When I convert to DNG and rename my images and renumber, is there a way to keep the original numbers visible so that I can easily refer to them so that the data can be input easily? Otherwise transcribing the information from my logs will be tedious.

Yes, the DNG converter will keep the "document name" plus allow the addition of numbering (right side , top box and menu).
I always keep camera original name but add subject name to that on import into LR. When clients want dngs along with their originals, then it is a simple matter to add enumeration, among several choices, in a renaming process.
I should add that I do NOT use the dng convertor within LR. I prefer the standalone convertor, because it can be working in the bkg while I continue work in LR. Dng conversions are not exactly fast.
I should also add that I discourage clients from using DNGs unless they use cameras that receive little support in most apps. I have had unexplained troubles doing 1:1 preview rendering in LR with some dngs. That may be my configuration, or it may be something in LR.

  • Is there a way to open a smart object, but get the original instead of a temp file?

    Working with large amounts of images and PSD files.
    1.  We create a smart object from say, a .jpg file on a layer, then filter, etc.
    2.  Double clicking the smart object creates a new window with that object as a .psB file.
    3.  When the file is saved and closed, the .psB file is deleted.
    This is how smart objects work, we know.
    What we need to do is:
    1.  We create a smart object from say, a .jpg file on a layer, then filter, etc.
    2. Double clicking the smart object will open the ORIGINAL .jpg file
    3.  When the file is saved, the original .jpg file is saved in its altered form, and is reflected in the .psd file
    We realize that Smart objects were created for reasons, of which we are aware.
    Yet, we have several designers who use the same .jpg's but want the original to be changed so that the next developer has that changed .jpg.
    Trie thus far:
    ScriptListener cannot be used to tie it to a double click event on a smart object, because when the smart object is created it is already a copy of the original.
    Creating a variable to call the original does not 'appear' to work, because it is accessing the .psB file instead of the original .psD file.
    I think with early versions of PS there was a way to insert an image like a .jpg into a layer, and the link to that .jpg was retained. Thus, when you double click on that layer, the original .jpg is brought up to be edited, the .jpg file is now altered, and is reflected in the .psd file after finishing.

    No, not too late.
    InDesign is for layout for press in this case.
    Photoshop is for design, which is using the .jpg's.
    I'm half way there, but stuck at:
    Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
    Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
    Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
    Any help would really be appreciated.
    I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.

  • Working on keyframes in a copied sequence changes the original sequence as well (Premiere Pro CS5.5)

    Hi everyone,
    maybe this is a very basic question, but the search in the forum didn't bring up any related questions, so here i go:
    Let's say, i copy a sequence in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and paste it in the same project. I have some textclips with keyframes in them. (I do this, because the videos stay the same, i just write different things into them. When i change the keyframes in the copied sequence the way i need them there and then go back to the original sequence, the keyframes there were changed as well. This is not what i wanted.
    My question therefore is: How can i make a copy of one sequence and then work on it without changing the original one at the same time? Why are they linked anyway? Is that just a selection in my version of Premiere Pro or is that a general thing?
    Would be great, if someone could explain that to me.
    thanks!

    If you have not done the New Title Based on Current Title, what you have are Instances of that Title, and they are all linked to the original Title. Make a change, and it is global to all Instances. This is very useful, if for instance, you have a typo. Say that you have used the old Western moivie cliche Title "Meanwhile Bock at the Ranch," a dozen times, only to discover the typo. You only have to correct "Bock" to "Back" one time, and it corrects all Instances of that Title.
    With New Title Based on Current Title, you have separate, individual, and un-linked Titles, so any change will ONLY affect the Instances of THAT Title.
    While the Instances can be very useful, one can be easily confused, when a change to one Instance affects all others.
    Good luck,

  • Accessing the original sequence path

    Hi all,
    """Begin Sequence :  MainSequence
    (C:\Documents and Settings\157257\Desktop\Sequence1.seq)""""
    comes in the body of the report. I want to put the same in my header file. How to do that.
    I am getting the path of the report file but not the path of sequence file. I tried using "RunState.SequenceFile" activex, but it is showing me the path of reportgen_txt.seq.
    Please help!!

    Hi Ray,
    Thanks a lot, it is working but with some problems. While executing the original seq, a run-time error popup is coming, even if I say ignore, I am getting the original sequence path getting printed on the report header.
    I want to know why is that Run time error coming.
    The error reads:
    The post-expression for the step 'Add_Sequence_Path' could not be evaluated.
    Unknown variable or property name 'Parameters.MainSequenceResults.TS.SequenceCall'.
    My function step looks something like this in the report header sequence:
    Locals.Header += Str(ResStr("MODEL", "RPT_FS_SEQUENCE"), "%-30s") + Parameters.MainSequenceResults.TS.SequenceCall.SequenceFile + "\n"
    Thanks a lot.

  • Can I create DNG files while at the same time keeping the original camera RAW images?

    I wish to create DNG files for my existing Lightroom catalogue, but also wishe to retain the original camera RAW images. If this can be done can you please advise how I go about it as I seem only to be able to find an option for conversion to DNG only.
    Thanks

    In the Conver-to-DNG dialog, you have the option to have the original Raw file deleted or not:
    But, after the conversion, only the DNGs will show up in the catalog, not the original Raw images also.

    I bought a new laptop and tried to reinstall Photoshop Elements 11. I saved saved the original packaging and all contents (or so I thought). I can't find the serial number anywhere. Any thoughts on what I can do?

    If you originally registered your product the serial number will be stored in your Adobe account. Click the red logo (top left on this web page) sign-in, and then click the Manage Account button. It should be possible to browse your purchase history. You are looking for a 24 digit number commencing 1o57.

  • Sending an edited copy via email without saving the original

    I have acrobat 5 and when HR gets a application they scan it in as a pdf then they block out the SSN and they said they use to be able to click the email button and email that changed document with out saving it so that the original file still has the SSN in it. Now they are saying that it asks them to save the file first and by doing this it saves over the original. Is there a way to do this
    Andy

    It is probably best that the HR folks put a bit of white tape over the SSN and then scan. They can then send the original scan and not deal with the rest. The technique they were using did not really get rid of the SSN anyway and that might be a legal issue as Geo indicates, depending on the distribution of the form. If they do the redax as Aandi suggests they can remove the SSN, but that is more work than the tape.

  • Strange!  Loops sound bizarre in Loop Browser - but not the original CD

    Hi,
    Just bought Jazz Essentials from Beta Monkey Music... Apple Loops from a Third Party. I put in the CD - and dragged all the folders at once into the Apple Loops Browser. Took awhile to copy...
    All the loops sound like they are going through a gated reverb or a delay - really bizarre - and not very pretty to listen to. Yet, when I listen to samples from the CD - no reverb - and no bizarre-ness.
    Suggestions? I probably should drag one folder at a time - right? But, if so - how do I delete all these bad loops now?
    Thanks in advance!

    You won't believe this - it's still not working!!!!
    Still sounds bizarre - I did everything you said... thanks anyways...
    This is so strange!
    There is a "full sample" with each new set of samples - in other words - the original 3 minutes sample that the smaller, cut up samples were taken from: these 'full' samples sound FINE... it's the cut up ones that sound strange as heck.
    Remember - they sound fine on the CD... so odd.

  • Allow group to view a list view web part but not the original list?

    I have a list that contains a lot of details about current active projects our team is working on. I created a public list view that presents this list in a concise format for external viewers to see and have it on a separate page in a web part; however,
    we need to keep the original list (and all the extra data private).
    How can I keep the original list restricted, but allow permissions to the data that is in that public list view?
    I have already set up the page permissions and they are able to see the page, but the list has no data and displays a message that says "There are no items to show in this view of the "Projects" list.".

    There's no way to do this that I'm aware of without some kind of custom programming.  You could easily create a custom web part that runs with elevated permissions to get the data and display it in a read only fashion.  But to display data in
    any kind of out of the box web part users need permissions to see the data.

  • How to keep the original sequence of a map

    I want the equivalent of a Hashtable or Map class (I need keys and corresponding objects) which, once fully populated, will guarantee to get the key/object pairs back out using the order in which they were added, rather than by sort order of the keys.
    ( The bigger objective is to compare two such collections, A and B, to see which key/object pairs exist in A but not B, and which exist in B but not A. However, for presentation purposes, I need to keep the original order in which everything was read.)
    What's the most efficient way to do this ? I'm sure I've missed something really simplistic but, hey, it's Monday......

    There is no way to retrieve objects from any map in the order they were incerted unless you add some logic to the way you are incering it.
    Here is an example of such logic, where I want to retrieve "states" in the same order as I put them:
         public static void main(String[] args){
              HashMap map = new HashMap();
              map.put("1" + "PA", "Pensylvania");
              map.put("2" + "NJ", "New Jersey");
              map.put("3" + "CA", "California");
              map.put("4" + "TX", "Texas");
              LinkedList ls = new LinkedList(map.keySet());
              Collections.sort(ls);
              Iterator iter = ls.iterator();
             String stAbbrv = null;
              while (iter.hasNext()){
                   stAbbrv = (String)iter.next();
                   System.out.println(stAbbrv.substring(1) + " - " + map.get(stAbbrv));
         }the output is:
    PA - Pensylvania
    NJ - New Jersey
    CA - California
    TX - TexasHope it helps

  • How can I make a second copy so I can make some changes, but lose the original document?

    How can I make a copy of my new pdf convert to word document without losing the original document?

    Hi mariponce,
    Is it the Word document that you want to make a copy of, or the PDF? In either case, you can choose File > Save As (in the appropriate application), and give the file a new name. For example, if you have a file named "HappyTimes.docx," you could choose File > Save As, and name the file "HappyTimes2.docx." Then, you'll have two Word files, and you can edit one and leave the other intact.
    Best,

  • How can I make a copy of a song, change the album cover of the copy, but have the original stay the same?

    So, this is going to take some time to explain, but I'm going to try it.
    I'm trying to build a compilation playlist with songs from other albums. I want to change the name of the album in the info of the song and the cover for the new playlist. When I do this, the original copy changes as well. I don't want this to happen. Is it possible to avoid this?

    Frankly I would just make your album a playlist and live with the original album names in the individual items.
    If you really want to name them individually you will have to make copies of the files and add them a second time to iTunes.  One easy way to do this is drag the tracks you want to a different drive (it could just be a flash drive).  It will make copies of the files on that other drive. Now drag them back to an empty playlist window.  That way you will be able to keep them separate from the original track until you can rename them.  In dragging back to iTunes it will put a copy in the iTunes folders so you will end up with two copies of the files, the second one for editing.
