Editing Film Photos and Virtual Copy Problem

I just scanned some film in and then imported it to lightroom. I am now running into a problem when I go to retouch/edit the film in photoshop. When I scan the film in it scans in as a .tiff file. I first tried to edit just the original to see if it would save back into lightroom as .psd but it didnt it saved the original tiff. I want to have two copies, the original and the edited file. So second I tried to make a virtual copy and edit that one and save it but again it saved both the virtual copy and the original file with the edits that I made. I finally tried right clicking the original file and editing with edit a copy. This finally worked I was able to have a copy and the original file unedited.
My question is if I edit this way and have a bunch of edit with copies is my picture sizes going to double? (having two copies of each photo, one edited and one original)
Or is there a way to edit a .tiff as a virtual copy and not have it save the changes to both files.
hope this wasn't super confusing

Thanks Sean..
Actually it did work but on the flickr side, i didn't notice until i logged on..  The Flickr side added a '2' to the virtual copy although Lightroom uses the original name/copy.  So i guess it works, just a little confusing.  I have not tweaked the virtual copy yet to see if it updates the '2' copy on Flickr or throws a wobbly instead
I used Jeffrey's plugin for sometime but eventually I decided to delete all my photos from flickr (new account anyway) and decided to go fresh with LR 3.  It works really well and any tweak i make get's republished without deleting any previous comments or data.  Jeffrey's just doesn't have that same visual impact and integration.  The LR version has a few quirks but seems stable enough for solid use...  Just need to be smart with it because pilot error can make problems.

  • Flickr and Virtual Copy Problem..

    I have photos uploaded to flickr through lightroom but if i create a virtual copy of a used image flickr gets confused because the filename remains the same and wants to update my image with an edit i prefer to keep separate.
    Without creating a tiff or jpg of the original RAW file is there a way to avoid this?
    Would love to be able to rename virtual copies but it's not possible right?
    any solutions?

  • I am new to ipad and iphoto.  I edited a photo and then selected undo, to return it to the original.  Now there is a spinning disk on the screen and the program is frozen. What can I do now?  I can still access the same photo through the camera roll.

    I am new to ipad and iphoto.  I edited a photo and saved it.  Then used "undo" to change it back.  The thumbnail shows the edited version and the larger window shows the original version.  There is a whirling disk over the orginal version as if the program is stuck saving the reversion back to original.  None of the other features will work.  Turning it off doesn't help.  leaving it on indefinetely so it will "complete saving" doesn't work.  I don't have some of the keys and choices outlined with other posts about stuck iphoto on Macs.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Quit the app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My Lightroom 3 closed after trying to edit a photo and will not open again.  Help please!

    My Lightroom 3 closed after editing a photo and will not open again.  It says Lightroom is not working and Windows is looking for a solution.  I am in a bind and need my Lightroom opened asap.  Please help!

    In your operating system, go to the folder where your Lightroom catalog is stored and see if there is a file that ends with .lock
    If so, delete it and then LR will open properly.

  • After editing a photo and turning off edit the photo changes

    So I am doing some extreme editing of some of my photos to get drastic, surrealistic effects....when I get it where i like it and turn off edit, the photo is ok for a moment and then changes to something completely different.....  any way to make the effects I see when in edit mode stay once edit mode is clicked off... 

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Itunes and cd copying problem

    hey guys
    just wondering if anyone has had similar problems to me...
    when i put an audio cd in my cd drive (real cds), and try to copy, sometimes on a particular track it gets stuck, and after it gets stuck the cd drive keeps spinning and stopping, then spinning and stopping (etc)... if i try to close itunes it goes into the spinning rainbow and it wont close... usually i have to force quit it, but that doesn't stop the cd from spinning... i then have to either put it to sleep and hope the cd stops spinning, or i have to force a shutdown and turn it back on...
    if i try it again the track does it again... i can copy all the other songs but that one... i dont know if it happens to be that the cd is scratched or something (because the cds i tried to copy i guess arent the BEST condition, but not scratched in a way that wouldnt work on my pc)...
    oh.. actually i just spammed my eject button after force quitting itunes and my cd popped out... bu yeah.. anyone know anything about this? had similar problems or know how i can possibly fix it?
    its happened to two of my cds, and ive copied over about.. hm... 5 cds? any help would be mucho appreciated!

    A good thing to try is to take the same cd's into an apple retail store and attempt the same "rip" there.
    If they encounter the same issue then you know where the problem lies, but if all goes well at the store then you've got more work to do.
    Try playing back the same tracks on your computer to see if there's any skipping when they're played.
    It could be something relating to iTunes, so it may help to try the rip in another user account.
    If it happens in two accounts it might be worth it to attempt a PRAM reset, as I've used it to clear up some weird optical drive issues in the past, but try things in the order I've listed and hopefully you get somewhere.

  • How do I edit RAW photos and save as jpeg?

    HI! I have some RAW photos that I want to edit and save as jpeg. Will the edits compromise the file and how do I then save these edited files as jpegs and will that compromise the files? THANKS!

    What do you mean by “Will my files be compromised“?
    When you edit a photo with iPhoto you’re Original file is preserved exactly as it is, there are no changes made to it whatever.
    will I be able to make a readable disc?
    Why not? But what do you mean by “readable” Readable by who?

    Hi - I am using iPhoto 6.0.4

  • Sharing photos and enabling copy

    Hi all
    I have a main mac that has all my photos in an iPhoto library wich is shared with my macbook. I can view all the photo's from my mac on my macbook but I cannot drag and drop them out of iPhoto onto the desktop the same way I can if I was sitting on the main mac itself. If not, is there another, easy way?
    Is there a way to enable it so that I could drag photo from the shared library onto the desktop of my macbook.
    I need to do it because I'm doing scrap-booking and would to edit the photo's and manipulate them while I'm on the macbook.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Gambit
    Try drag the photo from the shared library into your library, and from there to the desktop.

  • Virtual Copy problem in Collections

    Sometimes, but not always, when I create a Virtual Copy in a Collection, the Virtual Copy will not appear in the Collection, but it will appear next to the file in its folder.

    I have not seen that. When I create a virtual copy including a soft proof copy in a collection, so far they have all appeared. Of course, if I make a virtual copy in a folder, it will not show up in a collection unless I put it there. iMac, OS 10.6.8.

  • Help with Touch photo and movie copy/paste issues

    I recently moved all of my photos and movies from my Touch to a USB drive, and now I want to put them back but the Touch won't let me - how do I replace them??  My ultimate destination for the files is the Cloud, which I've just loaded.

    It sounds like the poster tried to paste the photos into the DCIM folder in My Computer since that is how you can get photos taken by or saved to the iPod into your computer. However the reverse does not work for moving photos from computer to iPod.

  • Another Mailman and virtual domains problem... mailbox does not exist

    Hi,
    this is yet another thread about virtual domain mailinglist with mailman.
    To sum up:
    - OpenDirectory account "[email protected]" -> mail delivered
    - Deleting this account and creating a mailing-list "test11", opening the admin interface to change the host "server.domain.com" (which is the primary host of the machine, so each mailinglist is created with this host) and replacing it with "virtualdomain.com"
    - sending an email to "[email protected]" -> following error:
    Jan 18 14:12:23 server postfix/qmgr[74872]: 698E5BF735: from=<[email protected]>, size=691, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
    Jan 18 14:12:23 server postfix/pipe[74882]: 698E5BF735: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=cyrus, delay=0.28, delays=0.14/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=5.6.0, status=bounced (data format error. Command output: test11: Mailbox does not exist )
    - adding back the OD account "[email protected]" -> mail delivered to inbox (not to mailing-list recipients)
    - now if i delete the mailinglist in Server Admin then send an email to "[email protected]" -> following error (seems obvious):
    Jan 18 13:18:49 server postfix/lmtp[74275]: A9B7CBF45F: to=<[email protected]>, relay=server.domain.com[/var/imap/socket/lmtp], delay=0.16, delays=0.13/0/0/0.03, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host server.domain.com[/var/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command))
    IOW, it looks like somehow the mailinglist aliases are being lost somewhere.
    Postfix forgets to delivers the incomming mails to Mailman, doesn't it? According to lots of forum searchs it could be forced by using one of those two commands:
    sudo /usr/sbin/postalias
    sudo /usr/sbin/postmap
    Unfortunately I dont know how they work precisely and can't find X.5 accurate information so I hope you can guide me through this step.
    Also I don't know how to track the incomming mails at the moment they are dispatched to either an OD account (so it's delivered or generates the 550 error) or a Mailman list (so it's looking for aliases and so on).
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • Leopard - QMaster and Virtual Cluster problem

    Hi guys,
    Up until yesterday I had my MacPro Octo running under 10.4 where I did succesfully set up a Virtual Cluster using 4 instances for Compressor. It worked as a charm and my MacPro was doing it's job perfectly.
    Today, I made a bootable backup of my 10.4 install and installed 10.5 using the erase and install options ( clean install ). I installed all my software again and tryed setting up my Virtual Cluster again, using the same settings I had under 10.4. Sadly I can't seem to get it working.
    In the QMaster Preferences pane, I have the QuickCluster with Services option checked. For the compressor entry in the Services I have the Share Option checked and used 4 isntances for the selected service. The Quickcluster received a descent name and the option to include unmanaged services from other computers is checked.
    I have the default options set in the Advanced tab, ( nothing checked except log service activity to log file and Show QMaster service status in the Menu Bar). I then started the Cluster using the Start Sharing button.
    Now I open u Compressor and add a file to process ( QT encode to iPod ), but when I hit the Submit button, my Virtual Cluster doesn't show up in the Cluster Dropdown. If I now leave the Compressor GUI open for 5 minutes, it will eventually show up in the list, and I can pick it. Sadly, picking it from the list at this point and hitting the Submit button makes Compressor Hang.
    I checked my logs, but the only thing concerning Compressor I could find is this :
    4/12/07 20:12:35 Compressor[242] Could not find image named 'MPEG1-Output'.
    4/12/07 20:12:35 Compressor[242] Could not find image named 'MPEG1-Output'.

    Batch Monitor immediately detects the cluster being active again, but Compressor doesnt, leaving me only This Computer available in the Cluster drop down when submitting a batch.
    In my Activity Monitor, I notice that CompressorTranscoder is not responing ( the 4 CompressorTranscoderX processes are fine ) and the ContentAgent proces isn't responding neither.
    Does anyone have any clue on what I could check next or how I could fix my problems ?
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Stefaan

    Bah, this is crazy, today it doesn't work anymore. Yesterday my cluster was showing up in the Dropdown window, and I could submit a batch to it, and it got processed over my virtual cluster.
    Today, after finishing the second part of my movie, I tried it again. I didn't change anything to my settings, my machine hasn't even rebooted (just recovered from sleep mode) and my cluster isn't showing up at all anymore. Even the Qmaster menu doesn't show it
    Guess, I'll have to wait out until it appears again, or try a few things out
