Duplicate Images In Lightroom 1.0
In CS 2 & 3, I always make a duplicate image copy before editing. I do not see a way to do this in Lightroom 1.0 unless it is the virtual copy but that doesn't seem to quite be the same thing and there is no explanation in the manual. Am I missing something here?
Daniel, In CS you make a duplicate because CS editing changes the given file. LR uses a new paradigm - you have a master image (e.g. RAW) that is like a negative. Whenever you want to make a new copy, you edit in a "virtual" world. The edits are nothing but movements of sliders, and other inputs and these commands are stored in the library as virtual copies. If you want to use a copy for something like printing or emailing to your grandmother, then you export. At that point, LR creates a new file, using the edit instructions applied to the master image.
As Sean indicated, PS's editing is destructive (unless you save a copy or use some layers trick).

I have duplicate images on an external HD (Mac)
I wish to remove the duplicate images and re-import the non-duplicates into Lightroom 5 but still keep the present collections with the approporiate images. How?
Yes, it is LR in English. I know why emails have been confusing. I have tried to simplify the problems below:
For example, a lot of my files are “missing” because I mistakenly formatted the HD that had them.
For example:
Previous location: /Volumes/Internal 2TB/Master Photos/PHOTO TO BACK UP/DIGITAL PHOTOS/Sterling 60th birthday/284_8414.jpg
Luckily, I have backed up these files to an external HD where I can locate them (which is time consuming). Plus, there are duplicates of the same image files on this external HD.
For example:
The files on the HD that I mistakenly formatted can probably be mostly recovered using recovery software such as. But again, this is time consuming and the recovered image files may not have the metadata used by the LR catalogue.
So, what to do? Should I first, cull out the duplicates (bmp above shows essentially six images of 284_8414.jpg) and then tell LR that the correct master folder is in Lacie instead of /Volumes/Internal 2TB/Master Photos/PHOTO TO BACK UP/DIGITAL PHOTOS/Sterling 60th birthday? -
I am trying to import developed images from LightRoom 5 Photoshop 6 for further editing. I am receiving this message and the images will not open.....'Could not open scratch file because the file is locked, or you do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file. How do I fix this? I would greatly appreciate it if you would respond with terms and procedures that a computer ignorant user, such as me, will understand. Thanks.
Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

Photoshop CS-6 does not open images from Lightroom 5
I do have Photoshop CS-6 and Lightroom 5. Nearly all images were created in a Windows 7 (64 bit) environment. I have moved platforms to MAC. I have moved all images and the Catalog. I have changed platform to MAC. I am now using MAC OS-X (10.9.1).
I am able to see all images in Lightroom, I am able to modify all images in Lightroom. I can export the images to Jpeg (for example) from Lightroom. I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
First time I have tried to open an Image from Lightroom (hand over) Photoshop opens, but does not show any picture and no error message. But when I then look to recently opened files, the image is in the list. When I do click on this, Photoshop shows and error message: "the datamodule can not handle the file format" (which is either RAW or jpeg).
Another expirience is, when I try to open directly from Photoshop any other image, Photoshop ignores the XMP and opens the original file without any modification.derMueller wrote:

That's normal if the raw files were originally edited in Lightroom. Lightroom stores all edits in the catalog, not the xmp sidecar. You can set Lightroom to write to xmp as well, but that slows it down a little and so it's off by default. The Lightroom shortcut ctrl/cmd+S will also save to xmp.

That's related to the above, and also normal if you go the other way - edit in ACR and then move to Lightroom. It'll then be in xmp, but not the Lightroom catalog.
As for the missing on-screen image, that's a common video driver bug (although I suppose other causes are possible). For Windows you can download updated drivers directly from the manufacturer's website, but that's not possible with Mac. You'll have to wait for Apple to fix it. -

Photoshop Lightroom -
Tried doing this a few yrs ago and it was maddening, the receiving flashcard (or desktop) kept flagging duplicate image numbers and my only choice to was to delete one or replace, when - because they are unique images - I wanted all of them to be saved on disk (is there a way to auto rename to prevent this)??? Thx.
Just tried to export photos and kept getting messages that a certain photo was corrupt or some such thing and then it stopped and did not continue with export. Frustrating as I spent hours moving ~1200 photos into 2 folders on desktop. Tried doing a few at a time and one always stopped the entire export. Is there a way around this? I.e., program so it exports photos that work, does not export those that are damaged? Would be nice to know before the fact (in moving to folder) that photos have issues. Thanks for any help - again!

How do i find and delete duplicate images in Photos? Help please!!
With all the image sharing me and other half do my Photos library is FULL of duplicate images.. I need a quick and easy way to find and delete them. I've tried a couple of the free apps in the app store, but because the Photos library isn't a regular folder, they won't work! My library is way to
big to manually scan through too.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!! Thanks in advance!Hi Keith,
Thanks for the advice! However, it's not possible find the really large files this way since file size is not a smart album option. There are too many movies to find them manually.
Best regards,

How do I get my catalog of images on lightroom 2 when it says assertion failed?
I am unable to get to my images in lightroom 2. It is telling me assertion failed. I need some assistance. I had no trouble with it yesterday. Someone was on my computer and they may have renamed a file. I need these images.
Give #navbar a width that is wide enough to hold all of the buttons within it.

Replace #### with a pixel number large enough to hold the nav buttons. -
RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?
Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

PS Elements Version Sets = Duplicate Images in Revel
I am using Elements 12 and Revel. I have a very large library with many version sets containing my master RAW file and an edited JPG copy. Prior to Revel acepting RAW files, I had no problem. Only my JPEGs were uploaded. Now however, I am seeing hundreds of duplicate photo images in my library, ie both the master RAW and my JPEG of the exact same image. While I love the fact that Revel can accept RAW images I am now frustrated over the fact that I have to scroll through so many duplicate images when viewing my photos on my iPad. Is there any way to hide images in Revel? Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (prevent Revel from uploading both the RAW and JPEG images in a version set) or having an option to hide either the RAW or JPEG image after Revel uploads them?
MarkPS Elements creates and uploads the JPEG versions for RAW files. As a workaround for this problem, you can create an album under library in PS Elements and add all the RAW files to this album. This way all the JPEG versions of RAW files would be present in an album and this change would be propagated to iPad as well. So it would help in filtering out duplicate JPEG versions in your library.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.
Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences -
I'm trying to export a raw image from lightroom 5.6 to Photoshop cc 2014 2.1. I right click to export menu in lightroom as I've always done to export to Photoshop. Photoshop opens, but it can't open file, window opens to find a file to open. I'd like this to export my lightroom images to edit in photoshop as it has always been able to do for me. What fix do you recommend?
Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Photoshop cc 2014 will not open images from Lightroom
I have just upgraded Photoshop and Lightroom through the creative cloud,and now when i take an image from Lightroom to Photoshop,Photoshop opens but the image does not appear.I have Photoshop cc 2014 as the default editor.I am able to open the image in any of the plug ins i have installed e.g Topaz Labs.
This has been reported quite a lot lately. SSprengel, have you actually seen an uninstall and reinstall correct the link between Lightroom and Photoshop CC (2014)? If so, I'll start advising people to do so. I hadn't run across anyone claiming to have discovered a solution to the problem yet.
