Creating 1:1 Previews of ALL my photots

Last night I set about creating 1:1 previews of all of my photos in LR3.5. The process kicked of and seemed to be getting through the files very quickly. I came to the computer this morning and the status bar says 73% complete. It is still working, all be it somewhat slowly.
Apart from creating a very large Lightroom 3 Catalog Previews.lrdata folder is there a problem with what I'm doing.

What you didn't say, which is rather important, is how many images you have in your catalog. It can take several seconds to create a 1:1 preview (depending on the speed of your computer and the size of each image file) so 24 hrs or more is nothing unusual. So time how long it takes to create say 10 previews (watch the strip at the top) and multiply by the number of images. Three seconds each for 50K images will take about 30 hrs - about right for my catalog and computer.

  • Slideshow from selected images in folder - LR3 creates previews of all images

    I select a number of images in a folder in the Library module and go to the Slideshow module. When I run the slideshow LR3 generates previews of all of the images in the relevant folder - rather than merely those for the images I have selected.
    I'm running LR3.2RC in Win 7 64 bit. The same happened with LR3 itself. My recollection (which may be faulty) was that this worked as I would have expected in LR2 (in other words, previews were generated only for the selected images in the folder).
    (I know I could add the selected images to a collection but I don't always necessarily wish to do that.)

    Hi Stephen
    In Slideshow module, on the toolbar you can click on the dropdown options against Use:
    Make sure you check selected items and not all filmstrip items.
    If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press T and T again to hide it.

  • Aperture reprocesses previews for all videos every time I open it

    Hello,
    I use Aperture to organise all my videos shot on Canon 7d and an old HD Cam (705 vids, 381GB). Whereas my stills are stored in the aperture library, the videos are imported into eparate folders named after each project inside one master video folder.
    I do this because it is an easy way to work with all of them in FCP (X), importing them without moving them, keywords from the folders coming across (and also because  FCP used to incorrectly display the meta data- date and time imported shown as the file's creation details, when accessed via the aperture library menu from FCP, this bug has probably since been corrected)..
    After restoring from a time machine back up recently, Aperture now reprocesses previews for all 705 movies every single time I open it, reboot or not. It doesn't hang on any particular file or crash but (as it's a mid 2010 MBP) simply slows Aperture down below useable for a few mins until they are done.
    Post import processing set to camera previews, new projects always create previews ticked.
    What am I doing wrong please? Should I attempt to fix the database?
    Best
    Ben

    As a work-around -  hold down the shift-key, when launching Aperture. That will defer the generation of Previews, so you can start working immediately.
    What is your Aperture version and MacOS X version?
    After restoring from a time machine back up recently, Aperture now reprocesses previews for all 705 movies every single time I open it, reboot or not.
    Was Aperture the only thing you restored from a Time Machine backup? Or did you restore more of your system? If you reinstalled or upgraded the system, there may be now video codecs missing. In that case check, if reinstalling additional video codec (Perian, Flip-4-Mac, or similar) may help.
    If the reinstalled aperrture library has been created on a different mac, there may be permission problems after restoring from Time Machine. Check the permissions and ownership on your video folders.
    Are you touching the videos in any way, when using them in Final cut? Using stabilize or something? If the " last modiied " date is changed by Final Cut, this might prompt Aperture to recreate the preview.

  • I have the latest downloadable version of LR5.  It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

    I have the latest downloadable version of LR5.  It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches.  I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
    I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow.  Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

    Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

  • I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

    Hello
    I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't find it.  I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
    EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard.  Any other ideas?

  • Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page!

    Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page! Yes there are distinct visual changes when I preview my Nikon NEF RAW Files.Please note I do not use iPhoto at all.
    If you view it as a contact sheet straight from the original folder there are no alterations but the moment you double click and want to 'Preview' it, this new preview page introduces very noticeable distortions : lighter shading goes missing and colour goes darker e.g orange turns red and mid blue goes deep blue!  Alarmingly the little column on the left of the preview page showing the collection shows the original file colours and then after a few seconds show the new distorted image...you can see this visible change and it takes place after a few seconds once you double click! Also if you use Apple's 'Cover Flow' to preview, this function will replace your original RAW file with the new 'altered preview' image!
    I have raised this with Apple but they have yet to reply...has anyone ever experienced this? I have used my Mac book for 18months only noticed it about 5 days ago!
    I went to Apple store and we tried it in other laptops and Macs and it happened to all of them so we think this is a software issue and not down to the laptop.
    Any help is much appreciated!

  • Can I create a working preview app without creating a certificate etc?

    All I need to do is create a working preview app for one tablet (Android - Galaxy 10.1) to be viewed as a company presentation only on that one tablet. It's an 80 page InDesign document with interactivity, hyperlinks, video, and I'm wondering if I have to go through the whole process of registering, certificates etc. just to do this?

    You have to create an Adobe ID and connect it to DPS here https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/welcome.html.
    Then you'll sign into the Folio Build in InDesign with those credentials and upload the folio to the Distribution Server.
    Then you'll use the same credentials to sign into the Adobe Content Viewer. After signing in, your folio that you uploaded will be available to download.

  • Create a Print Preview

    Hi, how can i create a print preview for a Text Component and/or a JTable (or any other component)?
    I know that i must write the print method but i need some intresting examples of all the classes that i have to develop.
    Thanks

    If you only want to print content that can be
    displayed by a JEditorPane then you may want to check
    out my DocumentPrinter, which you can get from
    http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~mark/software/swing/
    As well as printing Documents that can be loaded by a
    JEditorPane it also allows you to specify headers and
    footers and provides a print preview dialog box.
    At the moment it works but it could do with some
    improvements including memory usage which I'm
    currently working on. Any feedback if you do use it
    or feature requests would be appreciated,
    MarkHi Mark,
    I must commend you for developing such a wondeful java printing solution (Document Printer). I have a question, is it posible for me to be able to call a new page from my code. I have generated some pay slips from my application with HTML and i want only 2 pay slips per page. Is it possible for me to call a new page from my code using document printer....please i need it badly...
    Thanks

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • Is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users? (Office 2010 icons on the dekstop, for example.)

    Hello!  Just like the title, is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users?
    I know how to do this using regular W7 workstations and 2008 Servers, but the "Default" folder under the USERS directory is gone and I'm not sure how to get the icons there in Windows 8, let alone Server 2012 Remote Desktop.
    I've installed Office 2010 on the 2012 server, but every end user that logs in has to manually type in "Word," "Excel." "PowerPoint." etc from the metro interface, then right-click each icon to add the shortcut to the desktop.
    Given the... uh.. unfamiliarity of our endusers around the computer, this really isn't the best option.  What I'd like is them to log on and have all the Office icons ready and availible for them.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    You can edit the local GPP and create a desktop shortcut for all users.

    Also, you can use CopyProfile to customize the Default User Profile.

  • DVD Studio Pro - How to create a DVD playable on all mediums

    I'm trying to create a DVD playable on all mediums, i.e Mac, PC, home DVD players. I have placed all assets in appropriate places etc, menus built correctly, end jumps etc set correctly. The simulation shows me what the DVD will play like on my mac, but when I burn (in HD mode using either DVD+RW or DVD+R DL) it does not play on PC or other DVD players, including my PS3 or XBOX360 any ideas why?

    If you're in HD mode you're making a HD DVD. Search for info on it as there are lots of threads on here but basically you can only play HD DVD content (even if on DVD-R etc) in HD DVD Players. Not PS3, DVD Players and so on. If you have the (discontinued) 360 HD DVD drive add-on you can get the 360 to play it too.
    If you want better luck you'll need to use SD DVD and search for tips on that.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 not playing song previews at all

    Since Wednesday my iTunes 10.6.3 is not palying song previews at all. Clicking the play radio button shows it response as poitning at it I can see teh stop button. But no sound no movement on the playback progress bar at the top. I have upgared to Mountain Lion but this problem started a  week before the upgrade. I have reinstalled iTunes twice and checked on my other Macbook same problem. Frustrating as one cannot buy song beofre previewing.

    Hi,
    yes I understand that. I assume that your mac is "authorized"?  You might also have a problem with IPV6 causing interferrence.  Have a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3202188?start=0&tstart=0
    to turn off IPV6.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Would like to create a script for list all elements and structure of an indesign document

    Hello everybody,
    I'm a very beginner in indesign scripting.
    I would like to create a script in order to list all elements and the inner structure of a n indesign document.
    The aim for me is to understand how elements are sorted and arranged into indesign, and be able to find an specific element by its item name.
    The output document could be an xml or txt document with a treeview structure.
    I would like have a rough idea of which kind of javascript code I should use for that.
    Thanks for answers.

    Hi Ossydoc,
    You can use Muse to create such a website. All you need to do is, create links in Muse for the sermons and select  " link to File " in the hyperlink option and link to those Mp3 files.
    Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/4xvdup
    Now, when you publish your site,  Muse would automatically upload those files onto the server and the users would then be able to listen as well as download those sermons using the links on your site.
    Hope this helps
    Regards,
    Rohit Nair
