How can I split a Lightroom 3 catalog? And join two together...

I've mistakenly done a lot of work on a lot of images in the 'wrong' Lightroom catalog. I'm primarily a sports photographer and have all my sports stuff in one catalog and the non-sports stuff in another. And I've put a major sports event - 8000 photos - in to the non-sports catalog. What do I need to do to get it out and get it back in to the right one? I assume I could separate it by duplicating the catalog, opening one and removing the event and opening the other and removing everything else, but that seems a little long winded. And if that is the only way, how do I then get the separated event catalog elements into the sports catalog?
I'm sure this must be simpler than it seems!

Guy,
This is not to hard. You will need to pick if you want to move a folder or a collection from one catalog to another. If you want to move folder which is most likely what you will do if you imported all the images into one folder when you brought them in.
1-in the left navigator window find the folder you want to move and highlight it.
2-Go to the file menu and pick export as catalog.
3-name the new file what ever you want in the save as box
It sounds like you are just moving one cat to another on the same machine so just save it to your desktop.
4-Leave the bottom tow options checked in the exporting window
5-hit the export catalog button.
6-open the catalog you want to bring these new pics into
7-go to the file menue and pick import from catalg
8-navagate to the file you put on the desktop and click choose
9-if the photos will still be on your hard drive where they are know just pick add new photos without moving if you want to move them then pick move and put them where you want them.
This will bring all your adjustment and metadata over where you want them.
Hope this will help you

How can i split Client Network traffic and My exchange traffic with two differnet ip address?

Hello Everyone
sorry for my bad English and also my bad explaine
here is my network looks like
all the client on one subnet and network is 192.168.0.0
i have Dsl router that connect to Tmg server
i have Tmg with two NIC
1-192.168.0.4
2- 2 Public Ip address
i want to do this
i want to split user's traffic and my exchange traffic
i mean i want to route user's traffic with one public ip addresss
and my exchange server's traffic with another public address
but when i add additional ip address at Tmg or create new NIC card
all of my traffic route with one public ip Address what should i do?

Hi Uhan,
You need to use ENAT fuction on TMG to achive this
On the External NIC assing the Second IP as Additionl IP address (VIP)
Create a network Rule to NAT traffice From Exchange server IP address to the required Public IP which you need the E NAT.
Ensure you are creating rule only from Exchange server IP and not all INternal.
Look at the below Doc you step by step config

How can I work with lightroom when I use two computers ?

I am new to Lightroom and work with a laptop at home and a PC at work. Before I started to use LR3 I simply duplicated my pic files onto both machines, edited on whichever machine I wanted and then synchronised the folders. This system provided me with a working copy at either home or work and also a backup copy on the other machine.
I would like to operate the same system with LR3 but am unable to figure it out due to the automatic filing system used by the programmme to seperate the raw files and the instructions for those files.
Can anyone provide me with simple step by step instructions on how to transfer the files/instructions by using a flash drive and "Copy and replace"system
as I am totally confused by the grammar, syntax, and terminology used by Adobe.

Hi Geoffbubbles,
if you see only 1 photo you did export only 1 photo in the catalog.
Make sure you select all (e.g. <ctrl> A or remove the tick from "export selected photos only" in the dialog box of export-as-catalog =>will pick the total folder).
What Dorin mentions are catalogs as transportation vehicles between the two LR computer catalogs.
Let's assume you start on your home-comp and transfer to the work-comp.
When you EXPORT you give a name "home-to-work" for the transport catalog. You decide if you include the pictures by ticking "exclude negative files".
You would do so only for the first time, when your work-comp would not yet have them.
These are the original files which would never be touched, but which LR needs to have available to do develop work (i.e. to write develop instructions into its database). [Or maybe only you need them in order to have LR display the effects of what you are doing, if your slider settings achieve your desired result.]
When you transfer your new settings from the work-comp to the home-comp which has the original files already you only need to transfer the DB-records for the files, i.e. the catalog parts. Then it is sufficient to export-as-catalog (name it "work-to-home") without the tick for the negative files. Which will obviously save a lot of data to transfer.
As would leaving off the tick for "include available previews", but then your receiving computer would have to render the previews itself - your choice where you spend the effort.
Depending on your ticks checked in export dialog the data on the transfer stick will show different folders:
1 wrapping folder with the name you specified as transportation catalog name (in the example above "home-to-work")
therein the catalog file *.lrcat (home-to-work.lrcat)
if "include negative files" ticked: as many subfolders as the original folder structure/names of the pictures in it had on the sending machine
if "include available previews" ticked: an *Previews.lrdata-folder ("home-to-work Previews.lrdata") with lots of subfolders labelled 0...F
On the receiving computer, when you IMPORT FROM CATALOG, you only select the *.lrcat-file.
In the dialog box you decide if you import the negative files (prereq you had included them) or if you just add them without moving (why not leave them on the stick i.o. actually copying over to the work-comp?). If there are no new photos, but just new settings, you can either overwrite your old settings (which is probably your intention) or tick "preserve old settings as virtual copies".
When you use Dorins smart collection "Touched today" the virtual copies should not show up upon re-export on the way "work-to-home", provided you have further tweaked the master versions only. Or they do because in the end you liked them better and continued tweaking on them.
Note if you do not include previews: you might need to tell LR on the receiving comp to rerender the previews if it contains the photos and earlier previews already - I am not sure, if LR starts off on its own to rerender them.

Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls). One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.

Hello... How can I un-activate Lightroom 5? It also shows up on my Adobe Account and I'd like to have it removed from there. I am not going to be using the program and I want to give it to someone fully intact. Thanks... David

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

How can I split a QuickTime file in two?

8/21/2006. How can I split a QuickTime file in two? I saved a two hour videotape converted by PYRO A/V LINK to iBook G4 combo into a file of 24.5 Gb, and I saved to QuickTime into 536 mgs. Of course, it took half a day. When I went to copy it as video (536 mgs) onto a CD of 700 mg capacity, Toast 7 said it required 1100 mgs and couldn't do it. I have QuickTime Pro, got just recently. I would be very happy to learn how to split it, so to copy each of the split pieces onto 2 CD's, for my own purposes. Many, many thanks. Chuck Yopst.

Kirk, Thanks for your post Monday 8/21. Interesting how things worked out. I split the OuickTime file--of my retired uncle Church of the Brethren pastor's 50th wedding anniversary, and came up with two folders. Each contained four more folders, and inside folder Mvseg was file Avseq.dat which contained the video material and, when double clicked, started playing that half of the story on Windows 98SE. It just so happens that my uncle's PC operating system is a Windows 98SE. All this from QuickTime 7.0 which Windows 98SE would play the audio but not the video. Then a week later, yesterday in fact, in looking through iDVD help I found your solution, which heretofore I had no idea of. I had to go into System Preferences--Hardware--CDs & DVDs, and set these for "Open with 'Ask what you want to do'." The factory settings were to "open these when inserted" without that "Ask"ing. So then I was able and did follow your solution and it worked, but as a single QuickTime file, playable on Windows XP and Windows 2000 and Macintosh but not Windows 98SE. So everything worked out well. And thank you again. Chuck Y

How can I split a project. In iPhoto one could choose that option from the Events dropdown on the toolbar

How can I split a project? In iPhoto I could use the Event tab in the tool bar and there was an option to split the event but I can't find it on Apeture 3.

Hi Wayne. Aperture and iPhoto differ in many -- perhaps all -- ways. They were designed (afaict) with radically different users in mind.
To move images into a new Project, select them, then execute "File→New→Project" and check "Move selected items to new project".

How can I split a signal coming in from an instrument?

I have a device (USB-TC made by Measurment Computing Corporation) that reads in 3 thermocouples in real-time and sends the information to my computer via USB. I am getting one signal from the instrument, how can i split it up into each thermocouple's information in LabVIEW 7.1?
Cory K

You are going to have to clarify what you mean by 'one signal'. If you can specify a multi-channel acquitisiton, then you should be getting back at least an array where each element in the array represents a channel. If you are specifying a single channel and getting back a scalar, you would need to call that three times with a different channel each time.

HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

Hi,
How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
Thanks!

Hello ingiorgio
You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.

How can I split a header in two columns?

Hello, for the past hour I've been trying to figure out how can I split/divide a header or footer in to two columns and then align text in the left collumn to left and the text in the right column to right.
For example:
| Header length |
| Left Align | Right Align |
The only solution I have found was adding a table to the header, but it has some weird padding underneath it, which completely screws up its position in the footer.
Anyway, I hope this makes sense and someone here knows how to do this.
I really appriciate you reading this and am looking forward to your replies,
James.

You don't need a table.
Menu > View > Show Ruler
Leave the header left aligned and click on the ruler to create a Centred tab (if required) in the middle and a right hand tab to the right. You change the tabs by right clicking on them and choosing the orientation.
Then enter your text:
Left Text [tab] Centre Text (optional) [tab] Right Text
With Facing pages you can set the Left and Right pages to be different to allow the Page numbers to the outside or inside of the spread.
