Exporting multiple images from lightroom

I would like some advice and help.
For the sake of discussion let us say that I have a catalogue of 1000 image. The images are divided into a number of subfolders, say by year. Each subfolder has from 1 to 100 images. I have finished my editing and want to export all these images to another hard drive---BUT- I want them to remain in the same folder hierarchy as exists in the original catalog. That is, the new hard drive should contain the main folder and subfolders and these subfolders should contain the appropriate images by year, or whatever.
Is there an "easy" to do this or must i export folder by folder to the new hard drive. my aim being to have a complete set of final images.
Perhaps I should add that these are scanned images of 30 to 100 year old photographs and the "negatives" are jpg and tif.

May I assume you often post from mail or usenet?
By mail, yes.
>Quite a number of times we see a blank "message" from you; at others quoting a lot of the previous post, which is seldom necessary. While it may be a pain to you, could you use the web format?
>
It will save some of us time by not looking at messages which contain nothing.
Sorry about that. I don't like, and probably won't use, the web
interface. The blank part is due to the stupidity of the web software,
which automatically cuts off all text after "w r o t e", instead of
including everything the poster includes in their message. One of the
reasons why I don't want to use the software is how dumb it is ... I
try and quote back only the specific lines I am responding to (like
now), as proper netiquette requires. If I had to use the web format ..
I probably wouldn't use it at all (yeah, I have that much respect for
it ), and so wouldn't be offering any help at all (little as it may
be).
Here's what I said last time:
He wants to export the adjusted originals as new files to the new destination. This will only give him a copy of the originals in the new destination, won't it?
Perhaps I mis-understood; I thought he wanted to move all his files to
a new HD, and continue to use them there. The method I mentioned
should keep all the edits (either in the XMP, which is also moved, or
in the catalog). The catalog is the same; he's just repairing the
links to the (now moved) files. That should keep the edits with the
images, shouldn't it?

  • Exporting Multiple Images from Library - Resized CP4 to CP5 Project

    I am getting corrupt files when attempting to export multiple images at once:
    OS: Occurs on both Win 7 and XP
    Source: CP4 project imported to CP5. Original CP4 project was captured at 1024x768 and later resized to 1024x738.
    1. Open Library Backgrounds folder.
    2. Select more than one background image
    3. Right-click over selected objects
    4. Click Export from the context menu
    'Browse for folder' dialog appears.
    5. Select a folder
    6. Click OK
    Files are created in folder, but are corrupt. When exporting the same images individually, they come out fine. Individual image export file size ends up ~ 2MB each. Multiple image export file sizes end up ~60kb. All are exported as .bmp (not given a choice when exporting multi-select).
    Multiple file export works fine in a new CP5-native project.
    I've reported it as a bug.

    What version of Aperture do you have? This is simple with AP3. Fle -> Export -> Project as New Library. At the far end, Import Library....

    Are your images all separate symbols, or how exactly is it organized?

  • Exporting RAW images from Lightroom 5

    My continuing story of space issues. Find that I'm rapidly running out of space now that my wife has been uploading way too many 24 mpixel files (~30Gb total) to my Lightroom 5 catalog. Is there any way to export her RAW files to a thumb drive or another external hard drive?  The only export functions I see are conversions to Jpegs.

    Well, dmontabana, I think you have outsmarted yourself.
    Export with File Settings as original gives you an unedited photo, with no keywords or other user-created metadata. Furthermore if you have "cleaned up a lot of badly needed disk space", which I assume means you deleted the originals, your Lightroom catalog now thinks the photos are missing, and you will have to do extra work to reconnect the photos in Lightroom.

    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?

  • Trouble Exporting Images from Lightroom 3

    I am having trouble exporting images from Lightroom 3 with my User Presets. Error Message: The file could not be written. (1). It has always worked in the past but I just bought a new Mac and had everything transfered to it. Everything else seems to be workin fine. Any solutions?

    Sometimes on new computers, the permissions in certain folders are not set up to allow you (the only user) to write files. It's worth a check.

  • When I export a photo from lightroom, the image is very pixelated.

    When I export a photo from lightroom, the image is very pixelated. This pixelization occurs irrespective of whether I make adjustments in Lightroom.  It seems that just placeing the photo into he develope modual  without doing anything to it taints the image in such a manner that when it is exported from the develope modual the expot comes out pixelated.

    Brett,
    The photo i was a panorama knitted in Photoshop from four photos which were approx 3.3 MB each. The knitted pic came out to be 1.10MB. The panorama pic I was trying to refine in Lightroom and export came out to be 70.9 KB and extremly pixilated. Whether I altered it  in Lightroom  or not didn't matter.
    I can't imagine that bringing up the photo in the Develop modual would result in pixilization when it was exported regardless of whether it was altered or not altered.!!
    Attached is  a copy of the Photoshop saved and Lightroom exported photos before and after. I appreciate your help and interest. The top pic 1.10MB is what was saved on Photoshop. The bottom pic 70.9KB is the unaltered pic exported out of the Develop modual exhiiting the pixelization.

  • Exported JPEG differs from Lightroom image

    Hi all....
    When I export my photos from lightroom as JPG, the colors of the photo are dramatically changed. (image looks much colder)
    As first, I thought I may be a problem wiht the colour space, but I have try changing them without any success...
    Any idea??
    Thanks in advance...

    Sorry that I didn't answer sooner. I must have missed this thread and your questions.
    I haven't started calibrating my monitor yet (I've left it at sRGB for right now), but what I really want is for what I see in Lightroom to be the same as what I (and others) see on Flickr.
    The only way to get other people to see close to the same thing as you see in Lightroom is to calibrate and profile your own monitor and export to sRGB. If you have a good monitor yourself, with a gamut close to sRGB, you will get very close correspondence between Lightroom and unmanaged browsers. If your monitor is one of the wide gamut deals or a crappy laptop with a very small gamut, your display in the unmanaged browser will always be completely wrong, even if you use sRGB. Nothing you can do about that. On such displays you basically have to use a managed browser. The Lightroom display will ALWAYS correspond to your browser if the browser is color managed and you correctly calibrated the screen. Color managed browsers include Safari, Firefox (with some problems) and development versions of Chrome.
    because my monitors are set to sRGB
    You don't want to do that. It is an OK test for a corrupt monitor profile, but it guarantees incorrect color. LR and your unmanaged browser might look the same, but they are both wrong. Calibrate and profile.
    If I properly calibrate my monitor, the colors coming out of Lightroom when exporting to sRGB should still be the same as what I see while working in Lightroom, right, or am I better off with sRGB color profiles so that they're always exactly the same?
    As I explain above, the colors when you calibrate and export to sRGB will look almost the same in unmanaged browsers except when you have a display with a gamut very different from sRGB. The problem is that under no realistic circumstance can a unmanaged browser show you correct color.
