How do I save or export my collections?

How do I backup, save, or export my collections? I have about 20 collections. I want to be able to restore them all if my computer crashes and I need to pull everything up on a new computer. I may also want to have my collections accessible on a secondary computer.

Actually, you should right-click on the collection and choose the command Export This Collection As Catalog (and check the box next to Include Negatives). This will create a new catalog and you can move this and the photos thus created to the 2nd computer and then in Lightroom on the 2nd computer use File->Import from Another catalog

how do I save my exported doc in order to send it as an email attachment?

Plug your ipod in and pull up itunes. Then click on the device name in the left hand side. Click the restore option. When it goes all the way through and says "your device has been restored and is restarting, once it restarts you want to choose the option that says "setup as a new device"

How do you save or export an edited clip or sequence to use in another project without losing qualit

Does anyone else like to edit each scene seperately. Render and save, then compile a completed movie of the scenes? What format in elements?

You can edit one scene at a time within a single project - setting the WorkAreaBar to cover an individual scene will limit preview rendering to that scene. Once satisfied with a particular scene you can Share it to a separate file if you want to reuse them in other projects - use the WorkAreaBar to cover the range you wish to export. Use the DV-AVI format to maintain quality. Or if you don't mind adding additional codecs add the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec. Bill Hunt has written a Tips & Tricks article on using this.

How do I save my EXPORT custom preferences

I want to make a custom preference for exporting MOV files*.
There seems to be no SAVE PRESET... option so I have to keep entering in the details every time I want to do a custom export.
Is there a way of saving custom export presets?
*File->Export...->Quicktime Movie...

It's a feature that we've been screaming about for several years, put it in the FCP Feedback folder, if youcan find it.
What you really want to do is export a reference movie and use a droplet that you create in Compressor. the small extra steps of locating the ref file and plopping it on the droplet are insignificant if you do this often. The Compressor droplet can be set to do all kinds of interesting and scriptable things.

How can I save or export the file containing stored usernames and passwords?

I'm about to update my desktop computer's operating system, which will mean my hard drive will be wiped. I want to save any file Firefox might have that contains usernames and passwords so I don't have to rebuild that file once Firefox is reinstalled. I've found such files for extensions and bookmarks but not for passwords.

In article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords
*'''Backing up and restoring passwords '''
**Firefox '''''3.5 and later versions''''', including current beta and nightly builds, use '''''signons.sqlite'''''.

**You can rename '''''signons.sqlite''''' to signons.sqlite.sav to make Firefox '''''3.5+''''' versions use the file signons#.txt from a previous Firefox 3 or 2 version.

Cannot save or export a system report

How do I save or export a "system report" to something such as .pdf, or .xls file? I am running a profit and loss from within SAP and I can view the report and then print preview in the "system report" I created, however I cannot save it so that I can have it to send or keep on our network for future reference. Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation of the system ready reports? Most of my options are grayed out, except .pdf which I can see the icon but the "export pdf" portion is grayed out. Any help would be great.

Yes I can see that I can export to excel or pdf from the original report, but when I preview it in the report that I wrote for "our" specific view then I cannot export. If I export it not through the preview then I have to re-arrange all the info each and every time.

Save or export an opened .mp4 file without re-encoding

How can I save or export an .mp4 file that I opened and trimmed without being required to re-encode it. I'm looking for an option to either save the .mp4 file without exporting, or export with a passthrough option such as the one available when using QuickTime Pro. Thanks.

Hmm, I would have expected inclusion of the basic feature set of QuickTime Pro to be a prerequisite for any commercial audio editing program.
The reason commercial audio editing programs don't work the way Quicktime Pro does is Quicktime Pro really isn't an audio app. If Quicktime is able to cut an trip an mp4 file (m4a, aac, whatever you call it) it's becaue it's editing the stream directly, probably similar to the way a file-splitter would work. MP3 was able to have this one too, one could chop an mp3 up in to parts without re-encoding...however, due to the way data is represente in a lossy format, you have several limitations in doing so.
Commercial Audio applications don't do this because it's not going to be done by professionals...even if Audition had this feature, it wouldn't be able to work the same as cutting a wave file. You have servere limitations on where you can cut a lossy audio file up without having to re-encode it.
Cutting the bitstream of an mp3 or m4a file is generally not a standard inclusion for any audio program...
But, remember, Quicktime is a "basic" video editor...not an audio editor nor should it be confused for one.

How to keep User Order when exporting a collection?

I made a collection of about 300 VC's, chosen from many folders in my catalogue. These images were taken over a 10 year period, using 3 different cameras and having different names and file types. The collection was sorted by "User Order". I spent a good deal of time organizing the collection so that the images made visual sense when shown as a slide show on a digital album.
I exported the collection to my hard drive as jpegs, and checked the box to place them back in my catalogue, in a designated subfolder within my parent folder. All went well except they are now completely out of order, and that order makes no logical sense whatsoever - not by date, metadata, filename, attributes, nothing that I can figure out. I have to start all over again to reorder them - something that will take several hours.
What did I do wrong? How can I keep my designated user order when I export a collection?
I am using LR 4.3.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi Rene,
Lightroom does not maintain user order upon exporting. It would make no sense when not exporting back to catalog, but when exporting back to catalog I can see that it may be desirable - consider making a feature request (Idea) here:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new
In the mean time, I *think* what most people do to assure export ordering is to name the files according to desired order, then sort by filename. I could be wrong about that, but that's all I got.
Beware: If said approach is adopted, one would not be able to do incremental exports and maintain such ordering (e.g. when single image added to publish service), so all files would need to be re-exported if such change was made.
I have requested access to sort order and added-order via plugin for plugin-assisted remedy, but so far no go.
Another idea (which may not be acceptable) is to use capture-time to maintain sort order of exported photos (via a plugin like Exportant), then it would be easy enough to maintain user order by manipulating capture time (of exported photos I mean, post-export), but then you'd lose the true capture-time, granted: capture time could be put into some other field, but that might foul things up downstream... hmm - sorry for rambling/brain-storming out loud.
Maybe somebody else has a better idea.

How do I save an edited photo to a usb I export them to desk top but the whole file is exported ther

How do I save an edited photo to a usb New to LR I have exported some to desktop but I keep getting the whole catalogue there as well

Exporting will create a new file for every Image you have selected. It will not overwrite any files.
Your workflow counters much of the engineering and design that went into Aperture. Here is a very short guide to getting started with Aperture.
Fwiw, the Aperture Library is a file system. The Library is a Finder package. You can see the contents of the package by right-clicking the Library (in Finder) and selecting "Show package contents". Additionally, for advanced users, Aperture includes features for manually managing the files you import into the Library (they can be located on any drive directly connected to your machine).

How best to save photos? I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting them on a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box. Is it better to export them all, drag the Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

I am a 'newby' to the discussion world. Hope I am doing this right. How best to save photos? I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting themon a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box. Is it better to export them all, dragthe Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

Welcome to the discussions! You can use Time Machine and I would also recommend for you to manually copy your iPhoto Library (on your Pictures folder) to an external drive/thumb drive so you can restore it from there should you loose your TM backup. Exporting them from iPhoto would not preserve the libraries' integrity neither your originals, should you choose to edit them in iPhoto.

HT4075 I don't have any problems merging the documents by dragging, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I tried save and export, how can I create the file after merging?

Hi, I'm having trouble saving the documents when merging in Preview. I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

How to save or export pdf project?

Can someone show me how to save or export PDF file to other files? My Acrobat greyed out everything besides "save as". I cannot save to other format or export to other format. Please help

It might be that this is a protected PDF, or a type of PDF that cannot be converted (e.g. certain forms). Look under File > Properties -- Security.
