Does Lightroom create an extra JPG file?

I'm new to Lightroom. When I import images from my camera and exit Lightroom, I notice that every JPG has been exactly duplicated with the addition of a _2 as a suffix. The DNG files are not duplicated. I'm quite certain my camera is not doing this, as it hasn't done this before. This creates an extra cleanup task as I must delete all these extras. What gives?

Since I'm new to LR, I did an Import. One other person mentioned that maybe I imported into the same folder, thus creating dups. I will watch carefully next time. I'm willing to give LR a chance as I know many people swear by it. I guess if someone has tens of thousands if images, fast keyword searches can be helpful, but I "catalog" my images by discrete folders, so I know where everything is. That might not be the case when I get many more images.

What is your workflow for importing images? Do you use something other than LR to copy images from a memery card to the HD, and then import into LR? What option (at the top of the import window are you using for import (Add, Copy, Move, etc.)?

When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place. The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
It does not convert the file. You can delete the original if you wish.

Adobe After Effects CC 2014 Multi-machine rendering does not create RCF after Collect-File

This was working in the previous release. After going through all of the steps to perform a multi-machine render, not only does it say it is limiting it to 5 machines instead of the usual 99 (and I have over 100 cores on the render farm) but "Collect Files" (File/Dependencies/Collect Files) does not create the Render Control File (RCF) that kicks off the process on the other machines, like it did before and is supposed to do.
This release was supposed to fix the 32 core limitation on render nodes (my server has 48), but now does nothing at all.
Anyway, I assume there is a check box somewhere that says "do something" that hasn't been checked and another that says "Maybe my machine has more than 5 cores", and I would appreciate being steered in the direction of these new mis-features.
Just as background, the 48 core server does show the little TV screen that monitors the watch folder, and I know for a fact that process looks for the "RCF" file. Looking at the directory specified for "collect files", I can see that no RCF file is created, only 1 file, a report.txt file which contains this information is produced:

How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

Hi can someone help me with this question?
How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
Cheers!
VJ

It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

DNG Profile Editor: Can't create profile from JPG file

Guys, could you tell me why DNG Profile Editor fails to create color table using 4 colored circles ? It says "Unable to check white balance using gray patches. Please use the four color circles to identify the four corner patches of the chart and try again" even though I places four circles properly (it works with DNG files shot with my Nikon D700).
I created this DNG file from JPG file by opening it in Camera Raw plugin and saving as DNG file. Original JPG was shot on camera of Samsun Galaxy S phone. I know I'm crazy but I want to have color profile for it All patches are properly exposed after slight correction of Exposure slider in Camera Raw.
I'm using latest beta3 build
Here is link to DNG and JPG file I'm trying to use
http://www.box.net/shared/4v2rzlzjfp
Thanks!

If you convert your JPG to a DNG can you change the profile to the one you computed from the other JPG you converted to a DNG?
Profiles are not for JPGs. Profiles are for RAW files that ACR supports. You can't (easily/ever) get a RAW file from your Galaxy S and Adobe doesn’t' support that RAW format even if you could.
To see if your profiling is working, you can used the ColorCheck module from a trial version of Imatest that you download from www.imatest.com and look at the color-error.
You can also try the Read_Color_CC24.jsx script from Rags-Gardner:

Creating PDF from JPG files

I scan several pages from a book and wish to compile a PDF file from the scanned JPG files. What I want is the PDF file to be as small as possible, using relatively good JPG files (they are on the order of 300k), so that the fonts don't look too blurry when magnifying the image in Acrobat. My PDF file gets to be very big when creating a file composed of around 100 scanned pages. How can I make the file smaller?
I can't use optical character recognition to convert the text of the page. Much of the text contains mathematical symbols and figures, but is generally just black-and-white.
I feel the large file size of the resultant PDF file is due to all the "white space" of the JPG file. Is there some way to have Acrobat "ignore" the white when creating the PDF file, and then just display the information part of the JPG file on a white background?
Remember, I'm creating a PDF file from scanned textbook pages, not photographs. I would think that there is an optimum way to do this, keeping good resolution of the text (the "black" or non-white information), and minimizing the file size of the resultant PDF file.
Any thoughts?
I have Acrobat 8, Photshop Elements 6, and Windows Vista Ultimate.
Thanks

For starters, you should be sure and scan them as grayscale. Then the "white space" won't be an issue.
Basically the answer is going to be in your initial scan. You need to optimize the files as best you can there first then create the PDF.

Does Lightroom create any log file during exports?

While exporting a photo book to PDF and Blurb the process fails. Export to JPEG works, 1 file per page.
Is any log created so that one can see which page caused the problem?
Thank you.

Thanks for looking and acknowledging the question Geoff.
A log for troubleshooting would be very helpful.
A log showing photo ID's on page numbers would be a fast referance when someone wants to go from a printed book to the photo file.
Thanks.

VB API EsbImport() does not create a local error file

Hi,
According to the documentation, if i specify a message string for errors a file will be created locally whenever there is a loading error (like a missinf membr in Essbase).
Does any one have experience with that? my program works but a file is not being created when a member is missing.
in the EsbInit i used the ARBORPATH environemtn variable as the client path
in the EsbImport i used "ImportErrors.txt"
Any help will be appreicated
Thanks
Kobi
the init structure is:
With oInit
.Version = ESB_API_VERSION
.LocalPath = GetEnvironemtnVar("ARBORPATH")
.MessageFile = ""
.HelpFile = String$(ESB_PATHLEN, vbNullChar)
.MaxHandles = 10
.ClientError = ESB_TRUE ' Use EsbGetMessage to retrieve messages
.ErrorStack = 100
End With
the import relevant part is
strErrorName = "ImportErrors.txt"
AbortOnError = ESB_YES ' Abort on the first error
' import
sts = EsbImport(hCtx, T_Rules, T_Data, T_User, strErrorName, AbortOnError)

I don't believe it is supported yet. It wasn't even supported for the last OS.

Lightroom creating large cr_sdk_*.tmp files

I'm using Lightroom 4.1 RC2 on 64bit Windows 7. My C: drive is an SSD and only has about 8GB free. My catalog and Lightroom cache are both configured to live on my F: drive however, so I wouldn't have thought this would be a problem.
What I'm finding is that after an hour or so of editing (in the Develop module only), I run out of space on my C: drive which causes Lightroom to exit, and other general system instability (eg Windows Explorer dies). It looks like Lightroom is creating large files in my temp directory (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp) called eg cr_sdk_03182513.tmp.
What are these files for and why do they get so big? Can I configure Lightroom to store them elsewhere (ideally without relocating my temp dir)?

Thanks Dorin. I'd performed a quick search of the forum but only found a few comments vaguely alluding to the problem, I missed these two threads.
I realised I could relocate my tmp directory but figured the behaviour looked more like a bug in LR than sensible use of the temp dir. Sounds like I don't have much choice other than to live with it for now; I'll move my temp folder to a different drive and hope it gets addressed in an upcoming release.
Thanks again,
Chris

Why does Firefox create so many temp files in cache? Once it filled up entire free HD space (46GB)?

Every now & then, Firefox will have created zillions of directories and files in Cache within the directory for a Firefox profile. The directories are called 0 (zero) through F (using the hex numbers as names, i.e.g), and within each of these will be more directories (with two digit hex names). The last time this happened (1 week ago), these directories ate up ALL of my free hard drive space (about 46 GB worth).
Why does this happen? Can I stop it from happening? If so, how?
THanks.

Yes it should be easy to reset.
It may be set from
* '''Options -> | Advanced | -> |Network| -> Cached Web Content''' <br /> [] Override automatic cache management
* see [[#w_cached-web-content]]'''_cached-web-content'''
Presumably your automatic setting has been overridden and the box needs unchecking.
I know Firefox does split the cache up like that IIRC it allows the cache to be faster and solves fragmentation issues.
46GB That seems a surprising amount and can not be right if it eats up all hard disk space. I also know that the file places.sqlite is a variable size, but that is based on the system in use.
The ordinary HTTP cache is also set presumably intelligently, but can be over-ridden by the user
This has some background info
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP_Caching_FAQ
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.capacity
My own settings as viewed in about:support are
browser.cache.disk.capacity 358400
browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value 266240
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run false
My cache use is limited to about 350MB

XML Publisher does not create a valid XML file when I try to 'generate '

I am working through an Oracle document that walks you through creating an XML Pub report. I am using HCM 8.9, Tools 8.49.15 and it has XML Pub installed and I have the Microsoft plug-in installed
I have created a query and have downloaded an rtf template and now am on a page where you enter your data source and then click ‘Generate’ for the sample data file. I did it and it created ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ which is created from a PS Query. However if I click on ‘PERSONAL_DATA_PAY.XML’ it generates a blocky text file that is not an XML file and I can’t go any further.
Do you know why it’s not generating a valid XML file when I click on 'generate'?
Thanks

Lightroom Can't Read (jpg) Files

Why can't my Lightroom read my (jpeg) files now that I have reloaded it onto a new imac hard drive?

If the error message actually says "The following files could not be imported because they could not be read" then you're in the Import dialog, and you don't want to import the same files back into LR just to move to a new hard drive. In that case we need to find your previous catalog and open it, rather than starting afresh.
If you're in the Library module, I need to know exactly what you're looking at. A screenshot would be ideal.

Does lightroom 5.2 read orf files?

i just bought the olympus pen 5 camera and my current version 3 won't read the raw file ( orf) i can convert using dng coverter but that is a pain and added steps. Anyone know if 5.2 recoginizes orf directly in lightroom?

At this link, the supported cameras are listed, along with the minimum version of Lightroom needed.

If your camera is a PEN E-PL5, then you're good.

Why does LR creates a second "EDIT" file in the catalogue, once the image was opened in the develop

Is there a way to set the preference, that is should not copy a secind picture of the same item once it has been modified in Photoshop? If it is important I would save the image in a different folder from the other program directly. When I return to the library module I would like to see the same number of pictures in my catalogue as they were before I started to manipulate any of the files.

I am sorry not to mention the versions I am working with. But you guessed it well, nevertheless. I just updated to LR-4.3 but I am still using CS-5.5 (CS-6 is on its way.) I do save everything in PS using Save-As to a different folder, and I do not see much need to have a copy in my LR library mode for a second copy of the same picture as an "EDIT" version. Unless someone could explain to me a logical reason I would need them, I feel it simply cluters up my stock folder. I could easily start with several hundred photos, but by the time I manipulate a couple of hundred, it just makes the catalogue larger.
If you think that by using a synced version of the two applications (ie. LR-4.3 and SC-6.x) will ellimintae the problem, I am fine. If not can you explain how and where to change my preference? Thank you... Andrew

Aperture does not import Nikon JPG files when RAW and JPG

I own a Nikon D2x that I download files to a Sony 40GB portable HD. When I shoot in RAW + JPG only the RAW file is imported when I connect the Sony HD to my Mac and import to Aperture.
If I open the Sony disk Icon on the Desktop, I can see both the RAW and the JPG. In fact I can finder copy both files to the Desktop with no problem.
Even when I connect the camera itself, the jpg files are not imported.
This makes me think I should just shoot in RAW and save the space on the memory card.
Why does Aperture not import the JPG files?

it does import them ... but only displays the RAW file ... if you drill down into the library package you will see them ...
here are threads dealiing with same issue ...
