DNG files in old catalogs, where the same images are RAW files

Hello,
I use multiple catalogs in Lightroom, where some of the images are referenced in more than one catalog. Now I converted the RAW (in my case NEF) files to DNGs. This worked fine in the catalog I did this. But how do I tell Lightroom to use the DNG instead of the NEF file in other catalogs (still displaying "...NEF not found").
Regards,
Knut

You should have used Library > Convert Photos to DNG. That removes the NEF from the catalogue, but not from the hard drive, and puts the DNG in its place.
You are also making life hard for yourself by fragmenting the control of your picture collection across multiple catalogues. Each catalogue is totally independent and as you have images referenced in more than one, here you're going to have to fix the problem in each catalogue. Get everything into one catalogue, and subdivide your pictures into subjects or your other themes by using metadata such as keywords, and smart and dumb collections.

  • How can I make different catalogs from the same image

    How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

    Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
    Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
    The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
    After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
    IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
    IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
    1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
    2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
    Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

  • How do I change images in a Business Catalyst template? I have uploaded these images and can't seem to find where the stock images are located and how to change them out.

    I want to customize this template by swapping the stock images that are already in place. I have been able to upload my new images to the file that the others are stored, but I cannot find a way to implement the changes. HELP

    Er, not according to the header at the top of this thread:
    No mention of Windows there. And I saw no connection link for iCloud on my Mac. If there is such a thing, I missed it. In which case please accept my apologies.

  • How do I sort my catalog so the newest images are on top?

    I know it happens automatically in Elements but does not seem to be happening in Lightroom 5. Also a related question is, In ELements there is a calendar bar across the top of the screen. This allows me to see where my files are in relation to big shoots or short or no shoots. I find that helpful. Is there anything like this in Lightroom?

    If you click on the Catalog tab (top left in the Library below Navigator) you can select All Photographs. Then use the bottom tool bar to sort e.g. Capture date.  Click the A-Z button to change the sort if you want newest first. That will give you a view, as in Elements Organizer.
    But Lightroom also has powerful metadata searching capabilities using the Library filter. Press the backslash key to reveal the filter at the top of thumbnails. Click the metadata tab in the filter options and you get many options including dates by years. You can click on the small disclosure triangle to the left of each year to expand into months.

  • I want to take an image that's from my files, no cropped and be able to set up action(s) where I can drop that image behind an 8x10 frame overlay, then the same with a 5x7 frame overlay, then the same image behind a memory mate overlay that's an 8x10 size

    So is there a way to do this using the images right from the camera, where I don't have to crop three different sized images and drag them into the overlays?  I can set up an action for each, but cropping the same image 3x is a pain in the ***..!

    There are.  I did not write you need to learn scripting and write your own scripts.  As I wrote most Photoshop will never write a script.  However I would write every Photoshop user will at times use a Photoshop script to do some automated process for them. 
    I wrote the it would be very hard to do what you want to do would a straight Photoshop action.  Actions on their own can not use logic.  An action would need to to it by brute force.
    However in Photoshop CC Adobe added conditional action support.  With this support it is now possible to create a group of actions to process some conditions.  Like you can separate Landscape from portraits have an Action for processing  landscape images and an other for processing portrait images.
    Size is still hard to deal with for you can have landscape's the are extremely wide to landscapes that are square and portraits the are extremely narrow to those that are almost square.
    Image the extreme aspect ratio will not fill a 8:10 or 5:7  area it resized to 10 and 7 and creating crops the have 8"10 and 5:7 will have images compositions where most of your image content has been discarded.
    Camera images do not have extreme aspect ratio the usually have  3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratios there are exceptions.  When you have print made the are 5x7 and 8x10 by printers  the prints you receive from the printers are center crops from your image files.
    It is very easy to make center crops if aree images have the same aspect ratio and orientation to begin with.  Now with CC you can have seperate actions to the two orientations.
    A general solution would need handle arbitrary aspect ratios the resulting center crop may well not have a satisfactory image composition for source image with extreme aspect ratios.
    Photoshop ship with several scripts users use all the time to process their image.  You may have used some yourself. Do any of these sound familiar to you. Conditional Mode Change, ContactSheetII, Delete All Empty Layers, Export Layers To Files, ExportColorLookupTables,  Fit Image, Flatten All Layer Effects, Flatten All Masks, generate, Image Processor, Layer Comps To Files, Layer Comps To PDF, Lens Correct, Load DICOM, Load Files into Stack, Merge To HDR, Photomerge, Script Events Manager and Statistics.
    My action package as I wrote contains more the a dozen script I wrote to be used in actions to add logic into the actions.
    It would also be extremely easy to create a Photo Collage Template PSD that contains a background layer that has your two frames the 8x10 and 5x7 and also have two alpha channels to map the locations of the images.  That can be batch populated with my script  BatchPicturePackage.
    Photo Collage Toolkit
    Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this A video showing a 5 image collage PSD template  being populates with images:
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
    Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
    Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
    Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
    There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
    PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.

  • How do i get the notes off my iphone 3gs that disappeared when i synced. The notes that appeared on my iphone where the same as were on my PC and they were 6months old. All the notes from January to June that i made on the iphone went somewhere?

    On 25th JUNE  I synched my ipone 3 gs to my PC with Outlook in Windows 7.
    All the voice memos that I had recorded using the iphone app where backed up and appeared on my itunes voice memos BUT all the NOTES written on my iphone NOTEs app where not synched to notes in Outlook on my PC…in fact…. all the notes that I had entered into my iphone were GONE and the notes that appeared on the iphone  where the same that were on my PC back in 27th Jan 2012…..so all the notes that I had entered into the iphone from January to June were gone…..NOT happy Jan!!
    I need to find the NOTES that were entered into the iphone app that are somewhere in my iphone..
    The Voice memos can across OK so why didn’t the NOTES…..and NO I did Not have icloud turned on as I have always used itunes as the back up…that is why I bought the iphone.

    Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"?  There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.

    The above can get pretty complicated.  You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

  • How to modify a template and use both old/new in the same library without interference

    OK first Thank you for reading this and hopefully being able to help me out. I got dumped this project on my desk to update two different templates already published in
    share point(2010) years ago. The original developer left the company 4 years ago. Since then anyone that tried to do anything with them made a big mess. I have done some heavy reading and am stuck on few issues.
    Please note the templates were created IP 2007 and I will be using IP 2007 to modify them. The temples have a small amount of C# that does not have to be changed. There is also a digital signature linked to them.
    After some heavy reading this week. I figured that I need to edit the template from Share point(2010)/IP(2007) and not copy the templates to a different location laptop/desktop
    because that will ruin the digital signature. There is also a large volume of submitted forms from these temples. The new version of the temples will be heavily modified deleting rolls columns changing names. My understanding is that since I want to keep the
    old submitted forms the way they are and still use the old template to open them. I would need a second version of the original template with all the visual modification to still use the original template's C# digital signatures and any other file that runs
    in the background.
    The plan:
    1)Turn off the automatic update to forms/template when a new version of the template is created.
    2) Copy the existing template (.xsn) file to a new document folder in share point(same network).
    3) Change the name of the .XSN file that I copied and modify it??????????? Will keeping the same name interfere with the old template/C# digital signature ect? I would like to change to something like SameName_version_2015 for example. or will changing the
    name cut the link to the old C# digital signature? or will it get modify the background files and break the old template/submitted files.
    4) Publish the new template in share point.
    5) Change the data connection to a new directory that I wish to submit all files.
    Please advice am I missing anything? and help me understand my step 3 better. Also I would love to get a better understanding of how i can backup and recover everything. Do I simple copy unmodified .XSN files somewhere and publish them if things goes wrong?
    Do I need to backup anything else?
    I am open to options if I can create a test folder in the share point for safety.
    Once again THANK YOU for trying to help.

    Hi, thanks for the reply!
    Just to follow up for what we did to disable the delete function for maintaining table records. We hided the Delete button by adding a "MODULE disable_delete" code in Screen Painter. So now only adding records to the table is allowed.
    Thanks,
    Jenny

    Can not access a website but everyone else is doing well and the old computer with the same internet coming in on that side. side is www.miun.se

    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • When I sync my photos to iPhoto from my iPhone 4S it like saves about 200 on my phone. I really don't like that because they're like really old and stay the same... Can you take that setting off? Or just make it you most recent pictures instead?

Or just make it you most recent pictures instead? It's really annoying because they're like year old pics

    it had to do with Maverick/Aperture not supporting the same date formats as before in Smart Albums when I upgraded.
    Smart albums based on dates have always been problematic, if you use smart settings that require a date string to be entered. How the date string will be interpreted, will depend on your settings in the System Preferences > Language&Text > Advanced > Dates formats and the "Region".
    It is much safer to use "Calendar" rules in Aperture instead of "Date" rules with date-strings. Calendar rules will remain valid, if the region settings are changed in the System preferences.

  • 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 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.
    Cheers

  • Aperture replaces images with other images that have the same image number

    Help! Aperture has started replacing images in recent projects with older images from elsewhere on my hard drive that have the same image number. Obviously I need a better numbering system, but can someone help me figure out why this is happening? I store master files on an external drive and the "replacement" files seem to be coming from identically named images on my local HD or in iPhoto.

    I started renaming all of my images when I import them. I'm using referenced images to an external drive, although I still have a bunch of older images stored in the Aperture library under my old numbering system (which was basically whatever image number the camera generated)....need to move them all to the external drive but haven't had time.
    So here's the latest problem: Today, Aperture started replacing images in albums (referenced images with unique file names under my new system) with old images even though the file names weren't even remotely close. It also replaced the images with the preview for the old image (230 pixels wide). "Show master" showed me the preview for the old image, not the correct image.
    I tried forcing an update to the preview, but it had no effect. The real masters are intact on the external drive, but this is really scaring me. It happens out of the blue, right in front of me...I watch as my images appear to be replaced with random old images in Aperture. It appears to have nothing to do with file names, as I'm now using totally unique file names.
