How do I default my photos to open in Lightroom?

How do I default my photos to open in Lightroom?

Lightroom is not a file browser so there is no open function. To view files you first have to import (register) them into the Lightroom catalog. You can then work with them in the various modules, Library for photo management, tagging etc, Develop for editing (non-destructively) and making creative adjustments. Other modules for sharing, printing etc.
It completely different from image editing programs like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro etc.

  • How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom ?

    How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom?  Thanks, I am a novice to Lightroom.

    To access your Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop and Lightroom
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name] > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
    2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
    5. Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop or Lightroom from the file on the desktop.
    or
    7.  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
        Then access the files in the folder via Lightroom and Photoshop

  • I'm looking at older photos but the sliders are from Lightroom 4 and not my current Lightroom 5 sliders.  How do I get the photos to work on Lightroom 5 editing?

    I was looking at some old photos from 2012 but when I clicked the files (.dng) instead of opening with the sliders for LR5, it opened sliders for I believe LR4.  How do I get those older photos to open under LR5 sliders and not older versions of LR?

    Sorry, not so good great at LR.  Do you have pics or something visual to show how this is done?...Do i have to switch each photo's process version or is there a way to do a whole batch of them?
    The quickest way to update just one photo is to click the lightning bolt icon under the histogram in the Develop module. This can be more convenient than scrolling all the way down to the Calibration tab.
    A quick way to update a whole batch of them is to select any number of them in Grid view, and then choose Photo > Develop Settings > Convert to Current Process. The AutoSync way works too, as long as you remember to turn it off immediately after you're done.
    Like JimHess suggests, I don't automatically convert them all at once, but on a case by case basis because they don't always look better after conversion. The benefits of the new process version can potentially make them look better, but you usually have to do a few more adjustments to get them there. If you don't have time to do that yet but you need to use the existing images soon, leave them in the old process version for now.

  • How to set default path for file open in SQL Developer

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle SQL Developer. Everytime when I open a file, it will default to the install directory. It is hurtingmy hand because I have to click back to the folder where I put my sql statements.
    Is there any way to set the Home or Work button to point to the location I like? or add anther button to point to my folder? I just don't want to click 5 to 10 times to open a file.

    There are a few things. One is that you can set a working directory for any files you run in the SQL Worksheet i.e. @myfile.sql will pick up this directory.
    You can also set a preference for exporting files.
    Also if you use File -> Open, it should remember where you were the last time, so you hunt the first time, then it remembers for the next time. There is a bug for ctrl-O that always goes back to the original directory, but that has been fixed for the next patch release, so ctrl -O will also remember where you were last.
    The differences here are because we are dependent on the IDE from JDeveloper, and so we don't have full control over the Save and Open dialogs. We are aware of this frustration and are planning to change this for a future release.
    Regards
    Sue

  • How to set default view for preview?

    Every time I open a PDF using Preview I have to set the view to 'thumbnails', then 'two pages up', then adjust the zoom. Complete waste of time.
    Anyone know how to set defaults so that it opens in a predictable way?
    thanks,

    I customized my Toolbar to look like the following. Click the middle button that has the 1 circled. That tells Preview to remember to display pages at actual size (100%). Every file that I open now displays at 100%.

  • How do I browse through pictures (in open state) using arrow keys

    Hi all. I know this is a lame question. But I am new to Mac. How do we navigate through photos in open mode. I mean usually in Windows, we open one picture and use arrow keys to navigate between photos.What are the keys I can use to navigate between photos. As of now, I have to close the photo and then double tap on another to view it. Thanks.

    What application are you using? In iPhoto you can just use the right and left arrow keys to browse photos...

  • When I try to open my Lightroom 5 program it comes up with this message, "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit."  How do I fix this?

    Can someone please let me know how I can fix this error and open my Lightroom?  Thanks.

    You might be quicker help posting in the LR forum rather than the ACR forum, but I believe the way to fix this is to delete the preview cache. 
    Find your catalog folder.
    Close LR.
    Within the catalog folder, delete the FOLDER called Catalog-Name Previews.lrdata
    Start LR.
