How to divide one catalog into two?

I have a question that I can not find an answer to and hope I can get the help here.
Lightroom 5.
I have one catalog now and would like two.  The reason is I have two things that I shoot.  I do studio work for my clients and also do landscape photography for myself and for sale.  I would like to keep the two catalogs seperated.  One reason for this is when I use the star system to organize my photos then do a search for say 3 stars it brings up my portrait work and landscape work. I have all my files organized on my hard drive and simply want them to stay where they are but would like 2 seperate catalogs to reference.  I can not figure out how to do this.  Is anyone out there able to explain this to me?  Thanks

So if I understand correctly, if I make a collection of all my portrait work then export as new catalog it will create the new catalog and keep all the keywords, collections etc and leave the files where they are?  Then if I do the same thing to all the landscape images then just delete the original catalog it is all good?
Well, there are a few assumptions that only you can verify. The major assumption is that all of your photos is in either one or the other category, that there aren't any photos in a 3rd category, and that you can segregate the photos properly. Then all is good ... except ... in my opinion, you are now doing unnecessary work to avoid the benefits of Lightroom
So if I understand correctly, if I make a collection of all my portrait work ...
I still recommend you stop right there, make a collection for landscape, make a collection for portrait, and not bother with splitting the catalog; your collections give you a virtual split, which is just as effective as actually splitting the catalog, but its less work, and it eliminates the possibility that you accidentally import a photo into the wrong one of your two future catalogs.

  • How to divide my HDD into two partitions ?

    I have the original recovery DVD put in my notebook and I dont know how to re-partition my HDD.
    I want to divide it into two partitons (primary,and Extended?

    Hi
    If you want to create second partition on the HDD I would really recommended using an 3rd party utility like partitions magic 8
    This tool is amazing. You can create and manage the partitions on the HDD while Windows is running.
    But you could also create a partition using the Recovery CD.
    In such case you have to boot from the recovery CD and under Setup or expert mode.
    There simply type a size of the first partition and the Recovery CD will create an 1 partition on the HDD.
    After the OS installation you have to go to the disk management and there you can make the second partition visible.
    PS: The usage of the recovery CD will erase the whole HDD!!! therefore I prefer the usage of the PM8

  • How to split one monitor into two, differently configured desktops

    Hello,
    I have a 27" iMac. I would like to split the screen into two differently configured desktops or monitors. Apps like TwoUp or Divy don't exactly do this. I'll explain it with an example:
    Suppose I'm working on a document and I need to open many folders to retrieve files. One common problem is that opened folders overlap each other and sometimes they overlap with the document I'm working on, or they go underneath the document. I would like to split the screen vertically in, say, two virtual, independent desktops/monitors, like this:
    - one window/space on one side (say, on the left) of the screen would contain the document  from top to bottom, with no dock bar on the bottom
    - the other window/space (right) would behave as a regular, full desktop, with the entire dock on the bottom
    In this way, if I need to navigate to find a file to use in the document, I would move the cursor to the right. The Finder would work only in this window/space, thus windows or other applications would never overlap or clutter the left side of the screen. Drag-and-drop from right to left should be possible.
    One way to imagine it is as if the 16x9 monitor were comprised by two vertical, 8x9 independent monitors side by side, each with its own configuration.
    Is this possible? Can anyone recommend an application or type of setup?
    Thank you,
    -celso

    Looking for something like this?
    You can tell Display Maid to save the positions of your open windows across many apps and later restore those positions when things become a mess. With Display Maid you don’t have to restore windows one at a time, or even one app at a time. Display Maid restores all saved window positions across all apps with one command. It will also restore window positions automatically when it detects a workspace change.

  • PRE9: How to split one clip into two (or more) clips?

    I can't believe this is so hard to do... But HOW?

    You don't necessarily need to separate the file into individual clips.  When you do a cut on the timeline, this is a virtual cut, leaving the original file untouched but determining what will appear in the output.  You can split the clip into multiple pieces, delete the bits you don't want, add transitions, insert new bits, whatever you want, all without affecting the original file in any way.  Once you're happy, you output a new file using the Share options, and you get a new video file, with your original files still untouched.
    If you want to split your file into multiple individual files, you can use the sliders on the time scale, and export (Share) using the Share Work Area Only checkbox.  If you're doing this for purposes of reassembly, it would be better to save the individual clips in as lossless a format as possible, the default AVI format taking considerably more space but not losing quality.  Hint: the sliders can be positioned to the time marker using Alt-[ and Alt-].  Once you've done this, note that your original file will still be there, untouched.
    There is also VideoRedo Plus, a cheap program which gives frame-accurate selection and allows rapid subdivision of a piece of footage.  It doesn't re-render as PE9 would (this is where loss of image quality creeps in using compressed formats such as MPEG), copying the original frames.  You can then reassemble the bits using your video editor.

    The contextual panel is a UI element like any other.Once you insert the ContextualPanel UI element, you can insert child UI elements of FreeContextualArea, NavigationList, and ViewSwitch.
    For Contextual Panel.. please check WDR_TEST_EVENTS.

  • ICal splits one event into two, how do I fix this?

    I have one weekly repeating event entered.  For the first two weeks it shows up like normal, as one event.  But two weeks later it splits that one event into two different side-by-side bubbles.  I did not alter the event.  Does any one else have this problem?  How can I fix this?

    That is because you are sharing an Apple ID.
    On both phones go to:
    Settings > Facetime > turn off iPhone Cellular Calls
    I would also suggest you check here to make sure your husbands number is not checked on your phone or yours on his:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    Settings > Facetime
    Otherwise you will get each others Messages and FaceTime calls.
    I recommend that you each get your own Apple IDs if for nothing else than iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime.

    Hi prashanth,
    This we can do with javascripting but the problem is it squeezes the dashboard page and changes the colour of dashboard.So better to go for drop down of page items as you have 15 pages

  • How to include one view into another view

    Hi SDN's,
                   Could any please tell me,How to include one view into another view.
    In my requirment.I want to create a 'Z' view for an interface .In that  view i have to take,
    1) Ship-to-email adrr by
                              LIKP-KUNNR -> KNA1-ADRNR
                              KNA1-ADRNR -> ADR6-ADDRESNUMBER.
    2) E-mail addr of person who created the document.i.e
        LIKP-ERNAM -> USR21-BNAME.
        USR21-ADDRESNUMBER ->  ADR6-ADDRESNUMBER 
        USR21-PERSNUMBER -> ADR6-PERSNUMBER.
       In both the case we have to pass ADDRESSNUMBER to ADR6 table.
    If we pass these condition it fails,B'Coz at a time it passes Two ADDRESSNUMBER and a PERSNUMBER.
    So i created two which fetches only the email addr of  person who created the document.and another view fetches Ship-to-email addr.
    Now i want to include the second view into first view . Is it possible?or please
    tell me someother way to get these email addresses in a single view.

    hi
    as per my knowledge, nested views are not possible. However, while creating a new view, selection method will not giv u option to select the already created view(S) except the tables..i think so.

  • Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

    Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
    I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
    Thanks!

    No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
    export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
    work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
    re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished

  • Dividing a project into two projects

    How do I divide my project into two projects so that I can burn it to a DVD? I have 2hrs 40 mins and this is too long. thanks!

    Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
    Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
    Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
    Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.
    Open "part 2" as a project and delete everything that is in part 1.

  • I need to know how to break my page into two pages so i can send it

    I need to know how to break my page into two pages so i can send it

    Hi,
    You can add new form fields via the add item bar.  For example if you want them to fill in their name, you'd add perhaps 2 text fields, one for first name, one for last name.  Text field is the first icon on the add item bar.  Each field allows you to specify a custom label, you can click it to edit the label.  Are you seeing the add item bar?
    Once you've added all your form fields, you can test your form by clicking the "Test" tab, and then clicking the "Test Web Form" button.  That will open a browser to your form, that you can test filling it out.  When you've filled it out, you click the submit button.  The response will be saved to our service.  You can view the submissions, by going to the "View Responses" tab.
    Once you've finished testing your form, and want to distribute to your users, go to the "Distribute" tab, click the "Open" button. This will make sure your form is open and accepting repsonses.  Then copy the URL by clicking the "Copy Link" button.  You can then email that URL to your users, so they can fill in your form.
    Does this help?
    Thanks,

    Hi Nutan,
    Now its clear!!
    If I understand right. You want an overview page full of links to go to your different pages?
    Or maybe you want a link form each page to go to another page?
    In Portal Navigation through hyperlinks is possible.
    You can either do that using EPCM.doNavigate("ROLES://...") {check for EPCM API of help.spa.com}
    Or you could do that by simple
    <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/portal/myql">CLICK</a>
    {check for Quicklinks on help.sap.com}
    Either way you'll have to make a small JSP for that.
    Hope this helped
