Help with large import to Lightroom

I have about 15000 images in 100's of folders to import into Lightroom; tech assistance tells me I must import each folder one at a time; please tell me there is a faster way for such a large import. Thanks in advance, Mirlie

I beg your pardon. You are absolutely right (as, I am sure you had no doubt). I was clicking choose instead of import all photos in selected folders; as a matter of fact until I just read you response I had not ever seen the option of "import all photos in selected folders". Again so sorry to have indicated your solution was wrong. It amazes me that I have spent hours on the phone with Adobe LR tech support and they continued to read from their scripts that I needed to import each folder individually. You have saved me many hours and stiff shoulder muscles. I now know where to come for help. Have a great evening. Thanks so much.

Help with Editing Raw in Lightroom 3.6

Hello everyone!
I am new to the forum and also to using lightroom. I just need some help with editing my RAW files. I shoot in RAW + JPEG and I just imported the files to lightroom. It didn't show me the jpeg files for importing so I only imported the RAW files, which I needed. After editing, I realised it said CR2+JPEG. Which means that both files were imported but combied into a single one. Now I basically want to edit my RAW files only. Does that mean I have edited a jpeg or a mixture of both files? How to edit only the RAW file?
If my picture says CR2+JPEG, does that mean it isnt a pure RAW file and the editing would affect the image quality?
I will really appreciate some help!

It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.

Help with larger sized voice wlan.... design considerations.... tips...etc...

Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping that you guys and gals can help me with an ongoing problem that we have at one of our sites. We're working on areas of the location due to it's size and phone load. We have an area, that I will refer to as building A, that is roughly a square that is 240' x 240'. The inside of the building has some pallets inside for storage(they allow RF to penetrate through them) and also some metal production lines. There is also a mezzanine / elevated area in the middle that the users can walk under. It's not very large, but it would affect a phone if you walked underneath it while making a call. So, now that I have a brief description of the environment, I will tell you the equipment I'm running...
1 x 4402 50AP Wireless Controller with 6.0.199.3 (MR3) installed.
We currently have nine AP's installed in this area, with 4 up front so that way they cover the office areas better. Most are 1231G's, but some are 1242's.
Since we do not have A radios everywhere (budgetary decision) we are running all of these phones on 2.4Ghz (Yikes! I know!)
The 7920's use LEAP and the 7921's use PEAP MS-CHAP v2 with CCKM enabled on the controller.
I also have 802.1p wired QoS enabled for the voice QoS profile and it is applied to our voice WLAN.
We have conference rooms in the front area that will need to support roughly 20-30 maximum mixed 7920 and 7921G phones in a roughly small area. (Yikes! I know!)
We also have a 2106 with mesh .54M installed, but it is for outdoor AP's and should not be affecting this area.
So, I guess my questions are....
Has anyone ever operated the 7920 and 7921G's in mixed mode?
I'm thinking about separating the 7920s on 2.4 and tell the 7921's to prefer the A band or just use A. This will require A radios / surgery, but we've dealt with different code trains, TAC configs, and even added a few more radios. I think it's time to say we need to redesign this area. It doesn't help that phones keep getting purchased either....
What rule of thumb would you guys / gals say would be appropriate for this phone count in terms of the number of AP's I should use?
Since we're dealing with two different phone models, it makes it hard to simply just read the deployment guide. I know these phones can coexist, I just think we're running into over capacity and problems with 802.11B in the mix. In the conf room right now, there are most likely signals from at least two AP's. This doesn't seem like enough bandwidth for just the 2.4 Ghz range when 20 - 30 phones are in there. Not all of them are calling, but the associations / mgmt traffic alone must be horrendous since the phones are 802.11B
We are going to do a manual survey with a 1242 since that AP will support both phone models. I think we may need to survey twice if we're going to go this route; One survey for the 7920's on 2.4Ghz with a 1242AG and one survey on 5Ghz with a 7921G. I think that will provide the info we need to get the AP's repositioned where they need to be.
What kind of power levels should I be using in an area like that? We've originally had a survey at 50mW, but since then we turned the power down to pwr lvl 3 in some spots due to the additional AP's. I've seen references of roughly 1 AP per 3000 sq. ft at pwr level 4, but that seems overkill.
Can we run mixed power levels on AP's with the phones? Or will that cause one way audio due to the transmit power diffrences in the cells?
I'm thinking that we should pick a power level, survey the -67 cell size at the power level, add more AP's so that way they are overlapped 15-20%, and then actually implement the design. I'm pretty good at getting decent channel assignments in place. I know of non-overlapping channels, RRM, etc. I also have an AirMagnet laptop with an Aironet Adapter. It is good for finding noise, interference, etc...
I understand this is practically a book, but at this point, we've been trying a LOT of different things in order to get this to work properly. I think it's finally time for me to "strongly suggest" that we do the following...
1. Choose ONE phone model.
2. Choose ONE AP model.
3. Make sure to implement the 5Ghz band for all AP's so we have complete coverage.
4. Choose ONE power level for each band. This will affect the coverage and placement of AP's. I'd imagine that we'd need to survey with A first, and then survey with b/g. Typically we can use the 1242 and get about the same cell size on both bands, but 5Ghz is a higher frequency and may not penetrate as much as 2.4 Ghz..
5. Come up with a new coverage map based on a manual site survey with the phones mentioned above.
6. Implement the design.
7. Use it.
8. Try not to have a heart attack when the system actually supports that many phones in that area...
So, please, let me know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions. It would be greatly appreciated. We've been slowly working out the gremlins in the phones there over the past few years. I'm more of a data wireless person myself, but I do have good luck with a low to moderate phone count (usually no more than 7 calls per AP). Once we start doing craziness like trying to get 20-30 802.11B phones to work in the same area on only one or two AP's, then things start to become a challenge, especially when we don't have the 5Ghz cells to help with the bandwidth requirements for voice....
Thank you for your time,
Craig

There's a pretty recent (last few months) Voice over Wlan design guide published (was published for the 9971 phones - but all great advice) and it recommends just about all the settings required for an off the shelf wireless voice network.

Help with placing photos in Lightroom 4.2

I am making my first book in the Book module and I'm not finding it as flexible as I expected. I'm slowly figuring out some answers to the questions that have arisen, but I'd like some help with the following.
1. Can I add a small photo to the last page above the logo?
2. Can I put a border around a photo on the front, like a frame? Or do I have to prepare a jpg in Photoshop Elements with the frame and my photo?
3. Can I move or resize those yellow-bordered placement boxes, or make a custom layout if none of the layouts are exactly what I want?
Answeres to these questions will take a lot of frustration out of the process. :-)
Thanks,
Nancy

Help with error message opening lightroom 5 on macbook?

I downloaded lightroom 5 on my macbook. i have os-lion. When I open the program and error message appears saying " error switching modules". I am missing all the options to import photos. When I try to click on lightroom preferences at the top of the screen nothing pops up. It seems like i am missing some of the options and the navigation pane. Do i need to update something else to be able to import photos and click between module pages?

55AB,
It appears the error message you have is an ink system failure error message. While it looks like your printer needs to be services there is also a thread with some suggestions out there with some results for this same issue. I have linked this thread this post. You will want to look at message 16 and 17 for what seems to be a resolution for your same printer. Hope this helps.

If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

Help with LR4 importing

I have just purchased and installed Adobe Lightroom 4. I want to know is it possible to just pull one photo into LR4 at a time to work on it? I do not want to import all of my photos into LR4...just the one that I want to work on at the moment.
If this is possible, what are the steps to do it. No book or instructions come with CD...except for the "help" section when I installed it. That is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a place where I can ASK a question and get an answer. Also, (as an afterthought) are there any CD's or videos available for purchase that will come to me in the US Mail. I would like to have them here in my hands.....not online where I have to go back and forth...I want to use 2 laptops at a time. one with the CD I am using....and the other with my photo that I want to work on so I can follow along.
Thanks
sherri

Yes, you can do that, Sherri.
From the import dialogue, select the folder where the image you want to work on resides.
Lr will display thumbnails of the images within the folder, each with a tick at top left.
If you click the "Uncheck all" button at the bottom left of the screen, the ticks will be removed. You can then select the one image you want to work on, tick it, and select "Import" at bottom right.
It's not really how Lr is used to its best advantage, but it can be done.

Need Help with FCP7 import and plug in question.

Hello,
I just registered and would like to ask two questions. Everything else I'll use the search function for but I need the answer right away.
Ok First question. I have a mac pro at home and a intel macbook both with FCS4 during the holiday season I'd like to work on a project on my laptop. Now I have all my files on a 2.0 USB drive(I know its not that fast for video) but this is only temp. while traveling. I'm trying to figure out why it wont import the files into another project. Even when I'm at my home Mac Pro when I try to import a projects footage into another project it doesn't read it. This comes up
"File Error: 0 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied 254 unknown"
But all the files will work in the project that it was originally captured too.
If this helps the codec is sonys HDV 1080 60i converted to Apple ProRes 422(HQ) which I found out I should only use the regular Apple ProRes 422. I'm stuck now b/c I cannot import the files into a new project to work in on my laptop. Plus my Macbook doesn't have Firewire800 so I have no way to get the footage from tape to my laptop other then my USB Hard Drive.
I also have problem importing the files in Motion and Cinema Tools they also are not recognizing the files which is getting me upset since they are FCP7 generated files after I convert them to ProRes.
Whenever I try to import/use the files in anything other the original project they are grey'ed out.
I'm also confused on how to import effects plug-ins I've downloaded effects from apple only to have now directions to import them into the program.
Sorry for the Noob questions I'm a film student learning FCP7 by myself so I have the upper hand come next semester. Thanks in advance.

Can't tell for sure but it sounds as if the drive is not properly formatted, or you do not have correct read/write permissions for it. There is no way you can use this drive with HQ video. You're going to get into problem if you even try.

Color printing help with large graphics Reader 11.0.3

Good morning! We recently upgraded to 11.0.3. Windows 7 64-bit. We've had issues printing large color graphics from Reader 11.
For example, the PDF will have an intricate purple graphic with matching purple text blocks underneath. Print preview shows correctly, but when printed the graphic prints brown instead of purple. The purple text blocks print correctly. This seems to happen sporadically, but seems to be with complex graphics.
Documents from all other apps print OK and if we open this .pdf from Acrobat X Standard and export it to a .png file the colors print correctly.
The graphic files come from a myriad of sources and customers and we don't have control over the way the documents are originally saved or what apps are used to create the artwork.
Any idea why the graphics colors aren't printing and if there are settings we can adjust in Reader 11 so they will print correctly?
We've tried:
- Printing to several printers with different drivers and all yield the same results. (Toshiba eStudio 3530c with PCL6 and PS drivers, Epson Artisan 835, HP OfficeJet 8600, Samsung CLX-6200x)
- Adjusting the Overprint Preview settings under File -> Preferences and setting "Simulate Overprinting" under the Advanced button in the print preview window.
- Selecting "Print As Image" under the Advanced button in the print preview window.
- Adjusting the Document Color Options under File -> Preferences -> Accessibility.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Fastest thing you can try: use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.
If that doesn't work, you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Help with data imports and identifying correct contact

Hi Guys,
I am looking to import some data from a csv into a table called 'interactions'
This table is linked to contact via a 1-to-many relationship.
when I am importing data often I get errors saying that it cant determine which contact to use because we have contacts with the same name.
Is there anyway I can import data into the 'interaction' table and not only say which contact this is attached to but also provide some more information such as the contacts parent account so that it can identify the correct contact more often and leave
me less that I need to add manually?
Many thanks in advance

The data import wizard is built into CRM. You can now place csv files of different entities into a single zipped file to do a sort of pseudo batch import.
It may be helpful to download a template of the import file for the entity that you want to import. This can be downloaded within CRM. The benefit is that you are given the column headings. And when you hover over a column heading, it tells
you the data type it will expect. I will use the template and just copy and paste the data in from another spreadsheet if I get the data from a user. The import runs smoother then.
If you have the resources, there are 3rd party tools such as Scribe that can import data from different sources into CRM. A bit costly but you can get a trial version to test. The trial may only be good for 2 weeks. But it offers the ability
to transform data if necessary for the import.

Help with Resetting Preferences in Lightroom

I have a new iMac OS-X 10.8 .. I am having trouble with the Adjustment Brush [basically the sliders are not functioning correctly].     I have previously fixed the problem by resetting the Preferences, that is "deleting" the com.adobelightroom.plist file, then restarting Lightroom.       However I've gone to Library, Preferences on the new iMac and I can't see any .plist file for Adobe Lightroom 3 or Adobe Photoshop CS.5.
I also have Lightroom 4 loaded on the same computer but can't even see any com.Adobe ... .plist files for that either???
Am I looking in the wrong place ..
HELP!!       I might add that this Adjustment Brush problem seems to reoccur regularly????
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You may need to unhide some folders so that you can see Library under your User Name. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4176215?start=0&tstart=0 then you should be able to navigate to it.

Help with export/import in premiere pro

Hi Everyone
I have a question about import and export in Premiere Pro CS5.
I have some 1920*1080 .mov-files shot with canon eos 500d.
What is the best import setting for premiere pro cs5?
What is the best export setting from premiere pro (to adobe encore) to dvd?
The film is going to be projected on to a big screen. How do I get the best quality for this?
I would be very very thankful for your help!
Tami

check your paused and/or playback resolution settings...
I've found TIFF to be the cleanest output from PPT for inclusion in video, and I've also found that the scale to frame size command usually works pretty well within Premiere. However, Photoshop's scaler uses much better algorithms and will give you a much better result. You can do a batch process on all your files and automatically create smaller versions of them if you'd like. Alternatively, you can open PPT and customize the size of your PPT slide, which should scale everything to fit your new size. Then you'll have native 720x480 TIFFs on export from PPT.

Anyone having issues with large Import from Catalog w/ LR 5.3?

I'm trying to consolidate into a single master LR catalog from several different machines, and keep having one of the three Import from Catalog operations I need to do fail.
I've had LR 5.3 fail to do a large (5000+) item Import from Catalog twice now - and fail in exactly the same place (after importing 2000 items) but with differences in the error output.
First time I got a message about the video items - fine, pulled those out of the export. DId so, started up again, failed after 2000 items again, but this time after clicking Cancel (with a half-stuck progress bar after running overnight) no error message was displayed.
Since I can't find Release Notes or a list of known issues (or where to open a defect report), I'm posting here. Anyone from Adobe out there?

Help with logo importing?

hi,
trying to put my company's logo into motion. i have photoshop and i imported it into motion with no problems. everything is perfect about it except that the logo doesn't look good on the video.
the edges are crisp or clear on the logo while in motion.
i know it's a crisp good quality image when i import it. but for some reason when i import it into motion it doesn't look as good anymore. what can i do? please help me!!??

There could be some explanations for that. But first check the aspect ratio pixel settings in photoshop and compare that with your motion project settings. Then also check the output of your file on a TV screen, don't trust fully your computer screen. Also check your anti-aliasing setting. Depending on the final output (where it's going to reside, web site on DVD, ...etc) you may need to compress it and that will give you also a different result. If you are watching the result in your QT player, set the quality to high in the QT player settings before you review it. You may also want to choose to re-draw the logo in motion, that's another alternative, if nothing works for you.
See how you go. Good luck.
