How can I export a folder of images using the original file data?

I have edited my images within the "Develop" mode, but now need to export as jpg's using those settings (note: some are now B&W) and then I also need to process as jpg's using the original settings (color), so my client has all the original color files as well. My files were all shot in the Nikon RAW format, but I can't figure out how to export all the images without using the develop adjustments I have made to each file, including having changed many to B&W. Is there a way to do this? Note that I also don't want to lose all of my adjustments, so can't just reset them all, if that's even an option.

2) Now I need to export all the images that have at least 2 stars
(around 1200), so I can give the client a folder of "originals." This
way, they can view images that didn't make the final edit (album) and
will also be able to print an image that I converted to B&W for
their album in color.
First of all, I think making a backup of your directory (using Explorer or Finder or whatever) might be prudent before you start this little experiment!
So, all of your originals are in one folder, and ~1200 of those are 2-star and 384 are 5-star and have edits, correct?
What might be easiest (although not the most effecient) is to just click on the folder, then use the Library Filter to select everything that's 2 stars and above. This will select all the images that need exporting.
Then follow Jao's instructions for creating a new collection and removing the edits. Make SURE you create your new collection with VIRTUAL COPIES or you're going to wipe out everything you've done. 
Your new collection should then  have virtual copies of everything 2-star and above, in their original unadulterated state. You can then export to JPG.
I think from now on I will export those files with 2 stars first, then narrow down the the final 384 and make adjustments
You could always create a collection of your "keepers" (2-stars and above). Then, for every image you want to edit, be sure to edit the virtual copy  and then put it in a subcollection under the main collection.
That way you kind of have a history of what you did, and you can export (or re-export) at any time. You don't even really need to keep the exported JPGs around, since you can always re-export.
Scott Kelby has a Lightroom book that illustrates this kind of workflow much better than I can. I highly recommend it.

  • How can I save multiple separate edited images from one original file?

    I shoot NEF raw images and am getting used to the way LR5 editing works without altering the file in any way. Now I wonder how I can create multiple edited images this way.

    Thank you, that was spot on. It will help a great deal right now as I am taking multiple crops from shots of the ocean looking for something striking.
    I doesn't seem to matter if I take a copy while editing or before I start editing, I can always reset the original and start again.
    Is it possible to rename the copy? I had a look around here and in LR Help but rename doesn't come together with virtual copy.

  • How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height

    How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height?
    I wish to make a slider callery for my website. all the images need to be 750 Pixels high, the width does not matter.  I have a mixture of square pandscap and protraite images can i do thing as one export or do i have to do it twice?  Once for long edge and once for shot edge?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can but there is a trick to it.
    In the Export Dialog under <Image Sizing> select Widdth & Height.
    Then enter 750 pixels for Height.
    Put your cursor into the Width field behind all the numbers that appear there and with the backspace key delete the numbers. If you enter "0" it will not accept that. But it accepts when you just delete the field for Width with the backspace key. The Width field will now be just blank.
    When you then export all image will  have a height of 750 pixels and the width will fall variously according to thne height / width ratio.
    Or alternatively you can enter 7.5" for height at a resolution of 100 ppi.

  • How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original administrator password?

    Hi guys,
    I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. A few months ago I reset my administrator password and have not been able to remember it since. Consequently, I haven’t been able to do any software updates, my computer is running slow and I'm getting a lot of pop-up junk on my screen. I’m the only user on my computer, apart from the Guest User (Sharing only).

  • My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

    ",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
    Not true at all.
    It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
    The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

    How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

    The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
    That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod.  It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

  • If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

    If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this. Thank you.

    The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20)  into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
    If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
    What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
    Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
    Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

  • How can i know if my query is using the index ?

    Hello...
    How can i know if my query is using the index of the table or not?
    im using set autotrace on...but is there another way to do it?
    thanks!
    Alessandro Falanque.

    Hi,
    You can use Explain Plan for checking that your query is using proper index or not. First you need to check that Plan_table is installed in your database or not. If it is not there THEN THE SCRIPT WILL BE LIKE THIS:
    CREATE TABLE PLAN_TABLE (
    STATEMENT_ID VARCHAR2 (30),
    TIMESTAMP DATE,
    REMARKS VARCHAR2 (80),
    OPERATION VARCHAR2 (30),
    OPTIONS VARCHAR2 (30),
    OBJECT_NODE VARCHAR2 (128),
    OBJECT_OWNER VARCHAR2 (30),
    OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2 (30),
    OBJECT_INSTANCE NUMBER,
    OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2 (30),
    OPTIMIZER VARCHAR2 (255),
    SEARCH_COLUMNS NUMBER,
    ID NUMBER,
    PARENT_ID NUMBER,
    POSITION NUMBER,
    COST NUMBER,
    CARDINALITY NUMBER,
    BYTES NUMBER,
    OTHER_TAG VARCHAR2 (255),
    PARTITION_START VARCHAR2 (255),
    PARTITION_STOP VARCHAR2 (255),
    PARTITION_ID NUMBER,
    OTHER LONG,
    DISTRIBUTION VARCHAR2 (30))
    TABLESPACE SYSTEM NOLOGGING
    PCTFREE 10
    PCTUSED 40
    INITRANS 1
    MAXTRANS 255
    STORAGE (
    INITIAL 10240
    NEXT 10240
    PCTINCREASE 50
    MINEXTENTS 1
    MAXEXTENTS 121
    FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 )
    NOCACHE;
    After that write the following command in the SQL prompt.
    Explain plan for (Select statement);
    Select level, SubStr( lpad(' ',2*(Level-1)) || operation || ' ' ||
    object_name || ' ' || options || ' ' ||
    decode(id, null , ' ', decode(position, null,' ', 'Cost = ' || position) ),1,100)
    || ' ' || nvl(other_tag, ' ') Operation
    from PLAN_TABLE
    start with id = 0
    connect by
    prior id = parent_id;
    This will show how the query is getting executed . What are all the indexes it is using etc.
    Cheers.

    How can I format my intell based imac without the original Tiger discs? I have a user account on it that I dont want. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I want to to start affresh. Thank you. I have tried loading the Snow Leopard disc whilst holding down th C key but it goes straight into install mode. I am new to Macs and I have inherited this machine.

    Hello, many options...
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

  • (How can we) Export FXG from Flash Professional using JSFL

    How can we export a selection from Flash Professional as .FXG using JSFL? It appears that this is not possible... just yet! I have added this as a feature request within the Adobe Labs site for Flash Professional. Someone at Adobe suggested that I also explore the forums, so here we are. If you would also like to have this feature added, please let Adobe know by promoting the idea.
    Our use case is this: we have a large Flash file with a library of over one thousand skins and assets that were built in Flash with Adobe's Flex Skins Templates. These stateful, graphical skins were used within a custom theme by several Flex 3 projects. Our ultimate goal is to bring these through Catalyst, maintaining their vectors, and use them to create Spark skins.
    We've got a JSFL that can export each linked library asset, as well as any frame-labeled 'state' within these clips. However, currently we are using exportPNG, which is not ideal as it flattens our vector art into raster images. We are about to try the exportSWF option, and see what Flash Catalyst does with this. Our early attemps with importing swf's haven't been too amazing.
    I'm starting to imagine some cross-product scripting in which we export symbols at a state-by-state level as .swf from Flash, then rebuild these onto layers in Illustrator, and THEN import these into Catalyst...yikes!
    Anyone have a better solution?

    Follow-up:
    Out of pure wishful thinking I decided I would just see what happened if I pretended 'exportFXG' was already a part of JSFL. Based on the signature of 'exportPNG', i tried the following lines:
      var success = fl.getDocumentDOM().exportFXG("file:///C:/mySymbol.fxg"); 
      fl.trace("success:"+success); // output: success:true 
    It worked! Fantastic! I'm not sure if exportFXG is considered still in "beta" and therefore intentionally excluded from the docs, or if it was just an oversight. But at least it gives us something to experiment with.
