Drag Image Order within in Grid View or on Filmstrip

Sure would be nice to to be able grab an image or group of images and drag them to a new location in the grid or filmstrip and be able to drop them there. I thought the whole idea was to be able to make it simple for arranging a slideshow, or organizing images in an order deemed logical to the photographer. Stacks accomplish some of this functionality, but not enough.
-David

The best way to do a slideshow is to select all the images to be used and make a Quick COllection or Collection from them. Then one can drag and drop re-order the images in the FIlmstrip or grid for a slideshow.o
Such sorts can not be done in All Photographs, only in a Collection or single Folder (not a Parent). The problem for this in a Folder is all the images for the Slideshow have to be in the same folder and you end up using the whole folder not just some o fht eimages if you don't want all of them.
Bst to just make a Collection for a Slideshow. Sliedshow even remembers the settings for that Collection even if you don't create a preset.

  • Lightroom 5.3 does not show image info tooltips in grid view expanded cells

    In my copy of Lightroom 5.3, image info tooltips do not show in the grid view expanded cells even though that option is activated in view options. Is this an issue with Lightroom 5.3? (Note: Image info tooltips in grid view compact cells and the filmstrip do display, however.)

    I don't think it ever has. I've just checked back through all versions from Lightroom 2, and don't get the same information in Expanded Cell view as I do in Compact Cell view.
    So not a specific issue with LR5.3, more likely either it's "as designed" or one of those very long-standing bugs that haven't been fixed.

  • Drag and drop option in grid view

    Hi,
    I'm editing a large baptisim (750 photos) where I had another photographer. I nede the images in event order. On import, the photos are all over the place. I realise what I should have done, but now I'm here, I want to manualy drag and drop the photos in library-grid view. I'm dragging the photo and moving it, but it won't replace itself. What am I missing? Please help!

    But you can find two images from different cameras that appear to be shot at the same time or within a small interval. You can use their capture times to calculate the gap between the two camera's clocks.
    Now separate your files by cameras using the Library Filter (or Metadata Browser on LR 1.x) and make global time corrections with the Edit Capture Time command.
    Capture time shifts the date/time of each file in the selection by the same amount as you set for the 'most-selected' (or primary select) file.
    In the end, yes, sort by capture time.
    Export the whole shoot using a sequence in the file-name so they sort correctly on your customer's system.

  • After selecting an image in Library mode (grid view), my selection of image jumps to another image.

    Through several versions of Lightroom, I have encountered this problem.  I choose an image in Library mode while in Grid view and the image jumps to another that I have not chosen.  This happens about 75% of the time.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Does anyone know of a remedy.  I am using a Mac.

    You are using the Option key to access the Library under the Go finder Menu?
    Click in the Go menu the hold the Option key and you will see Library appear, otherwise is is hidden.

  • How do I show and/or update image info in the Grid view?

    Somehow, all the info that was showing in my grid view, in Lightroom 5.6, disappeared. How do I view info for each grid image, on the grid and how do I update or change what info is viewable?

  • Some images not selectable in grid view

    Have recently installed Lightroom 5.6 on my Mac after deciding to ditch Apple Aperture.  I have an issue where certain images are not selectable or do not highlight when moving the mouse pointer over them in grid view in the library module.  The images have been imported only once direct from the camera & there is no issue selecting them in the filmstrip or accessing them in the Finder.  I've found other posts with users experiencing similar issues but no one has offered an answer

    Um, I can't seem to find it on the server, which can't be a good sign ) - :
    Have no idea why it's not appearing where it should but if I can get a link to work I'll send it to you.
    Thanks for your help

  • Why can't I drag images from Finder to Design View Dreamweaver CC?

    Hey Guys,
    I'm using OS X Mavericks (10.9) and Adobe DW CC
    For some reason in both CC and CS6 I can no-longer drag files from Finder (Mac OS X's Explorer) into the design view ( for eg: adding images to a table cell ), the browse button doesn't work properly either... The "browse for file" button only works if there is an image already there and then it will update the image, otherwise if there's no image in the table cell it will bring up the browse dialogue box but does nothing if I select a file and press "open".
    Is there a setting that was introduced in CS 6 that affects this behavior?

    Hi All,
    This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014, which is now available for download.
    Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.
    We’re excited to hear back from you. Please share your feedback.

  • Moving Images in Grid View

    I can't for the life of me move individual images or groups of images around freely in grid view. The tutorial says to drag from the center of a thumbnail and drag it to the location you want it. I tried that and it just springs back to where it came from. I would like to randomly move images around in grid view and then number and rename. Any help is much appreciated

    I disagree. My point is that one should not have to keep in mind an underlying computing model in order to know when you can and can't sort.
    In general (not a Lightroom point), as I'm primarily a PC user I'm used to climbing learning curves, but I love the transparency of Macs when I do use them.
    That sorting isn't available in Lightroom just because I have an empty sub-folder makes no sense from the photographer's viewpoint.
    It's not a big deal, but the sorting constraints are a clumsy rough edge in largely excellent UI.

  • More friendly drag-and-drop from grid view to folder

    From within the grid view, I do a multiple selection and drag the pictures to a folder on the left, to move all the pictures to that folder. If in the folder there is already a file with the same name as one of the selected pictures, the whole operation is cancelled. It is extremely annoying. LR might instead pop up a dialog asking if I still want to move the pictures that can be moved. Even better, the dialog should give options to overwrite the file in the destination folder, or to automatically re-name either file and stack them.

    On the page itself (icloud.com/iwork) it states "To get started, launch [Pages, Numbers, Keynote] on your iOS device and turn on iCloud."  This would lead me to believe you need to have the iOS version before you can even try using the icloud.com/iwork to upload files.
    I personally am not paying $10 just to test this, but if anyone else has tested this, it would be great to either confirm or deny this beyond just what I'm reading from it.
    Well, I have paid those 30 $ ( well 24 Euros ) for keynote,numbers and pages and yes you absolutely need at least one of these apps on your Device in order to unlock the "drag and drop" solution in the Browser. In other words - if you do not own a iDevice or not have one of that apps, you can't use icloud.com/iwork and its upload features at all.
    After all it is only for iOS iwork; Mac iwork09 does not sync to the cloud at all, regardless of "documents and data" set to yes in icloud on OSX.  On the contrary if you enable the same feature on your iOS5 device and set the iwork apps to store their documents in icloud, the syncing does start. So it kinda makes sense to force the presence of the iOS apps.
    iwork on iOS is pretty good, all 3 apps are high quality, come with those typical awesome templates and have tons of options to print,share and sync; but beware of the cloud storage thing : randomly documents in iCloud just delete themself.Go figure in the support forum for iwork for ios here - 100s users have experienced lost data using iwork for iOS in the cloud; So I turned this whole thing off again and sync my documents old fashioned via iTunes.

  • Exporting from Lightroom 1.3: Different sort order than defined in Grid view

    Just did an export from Lightroom 1.3 and ended up with a the wrong export order.
    Here is what I did.
    1. Create a collection
    2. Drag the pictures I want to export into that collection
    3. Select: Sort: Import order (In lightroom grid view - the sort order was correct)
    4. Export from Lightroom with "Userdefined name - sequence"
    The result is a total different sort order than I can see in the Lightroom Grid view.
    Very annoying.
    Any ideas?
    Also - in the new export dialog there seems to be no option anymore to CHANGE a user-defined export like in the previous version. What do you do if you want to change something?
    Overwrite with the same name?
    Remove old export and add the new one changed?
    greetings

    Are you seeing this only in Lightroom? They are not 'still in the parent, Germany folder.' only visible their if you have 'Include Photos from Subitems' checked in the Menu/Library of Library.
    Uncheck that you you will only see them in their correct folders.

  • Film Strip v Loupe Grid view

    Why are selections handled differently in the Loupe Grid view to the filmstrip. I cannot get my head around why when I select several images in the filmstrip which I want to correct for whitebalance why this does not work in the filmstrip and it forces me to change and move to grid view to get this done.
    I would expect this to work in develop in the same way in that I would be able to pick several pics in the filmstrip and apply the same change
    to all pictures selected.
    Not sure if this is a feature request or is it a bug, or is it just me?
    Regards
    Roger R.

    Alas, it didn't work. I did it twice--the second time rebooting the computer before starting Lightroom. I didn't expect the reboot to make a difference, but I did discover something else in the process: the second time I tried this, I accidentally opened a different catalog--and new photos imported just FINE into that one, thumbnails and all! For one moment I thought the reboot HAD made the difference. However, when I reopened the catalog I actually wanted, the original problem remained. Thumbnails don't load with import, and, when forced, only display up to three at a time.
    So the problem seems specific to this catalog.
    And yes--thank you for affirming that reinstalling Lightroom wouldn't work, either. (I forgot to mention that's what I had tried first. It didn't help--but it's nice to know it wasn't supposed to.)
    Thank you so much for your reply. Do you have any other ideas, please?
    With many thanks, truly,
    Rita

  • I have a photo selected in the Grid View.  When I click on Develop I receive the message "No photo selected."  I'm using Lightroom CC

    I also notice that the filmstrip view does not update as I select images in Grid view.

    I tried all sorts of selecting and re-selecting in the Grid view and the filmstrip never updated.  As you can read below, I contacted Adobe through their Chat support and they reset my preferences.  That cured the problem.    Now to reset my preferences. 

  • Moving images within Grid View in LR3beta2

    Frustrated. In LR3Beta1 I could manually move and place images within Grid View or from the slide view at bottom for purposes of sorting "similar subject" content within a specified Text/Attribute naming. All of this was accomplished from the Parent folder, with no need for drilling down the Tree.
    Now, since installing LR3Beta2 I can no longer manually move (sort) within Grid View...unless I am in the lower most folder of the tree. This change is not practical since a tree folder may not match the relevance of my specified Text/Attributes.
    Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong, or is the ability to manually sort from Parent folder no longer an option?

    Here's an example of how I catalog/label/sort my images...
    Architectural images project - 3 locations of shootng, 4 areas of focus: Doors, Windows, Facades, Walls
    So, I may have 20 images w/both a door and a facade in the shot, 20 images with a window and a door, etc. I prefer to Keyword all of the images as Architectural, and then Keyword those applicable to Doors, Windows, Facades, Walls, etc.
    Now, suppose those all go into a folder labeled Architecture.
    The next week I get an assignment for Urban settings. It may include shops, churches, etc. However, within those, I decide to Keyword (where appropriate) Doors, Windows, Churches, Shops, etc. That project goes into a folder labeled Urban Settings.
    Now, let's say I have a request specifically for "Doors". Now, those Doors are spread across multiple folders at this point so I have no opportunity to manually sort all of the doors my similar content if they fall into multiple folders. Doesn't matter that I have pulled up Doors through Text, I still cannot sort them by similar style, shape, color, etc since they are spread across multiple folders.
    In the 1st beta, I could slice and dice a hundred ways to arrive at a final view and then...sort those so that they always appeared that way whenever I called them up again. Didn't matter that they were in multiple folders. That was extremely useful and...sweet.
    Any ideas?

  • I guess there are not phone support...  I cannot drag images from grid view into collections.

    I have been trying desperately to fix this issue.  I cannot drag any images from the grid view into collections.  Can anyone help?  I looked everywhere for a  customer support number but I was not able to find one on Adobe Website. 

    Hi,
    Only a couple of things I can think of:
    1. Make sure it isn't a Smart Collection, and
    2. Drag by placing the cursor on the actual picture NOT the grey area surrounding the image.

  • Cannot sort images in grid view?

    I am trying to re-arrange the order of images in the grid view by mean of drag-and-drop, but LR doesn't allow me to do it. I also manually selected "User Order" from the sort menu with no effect. It is happening only with the latest bunch of photos I imported (both in Collection and Folder), while LR still allows me to re-arrange my old images. I must be missing something obvious (not to me)... any idea?

    User sort order comes up on this forum so frequently that the subject deserves to be in the FAQ, especially since user sorting is almost totally undocumented.
    As Lee Jay points out, what is implemented is a design decision. There is a basic conflict here between user sort order and the existence of subfolders.
    The current implementation has a few rough edges. For example, even including all sub-items in the top folder doesn't free up sorting as has been suggested, at least in my Windows version. Also, even if a sub-folder is empty, user sorting is still frozen in parents. BTW, a sub-folder is one recognized by LR. A folder can have sub-folders in the underlying file system not in the catalog. These have no effect as far as I can tell.
    However, in all the cases I have tried, user sorting is available within and into stacks at any level regardless of whether sub-folders exist. I can move things around freely in a stack or from outside the stack (even from another stack) into the stack. Reversal is possible in stack-to-stack moves but not from a stack to the outside, unless the folder has no sub-folders. This fact might help work around the limitation in some cases.
