Identifying images that have been adjusted

During the import process from beta to 1.0, all of my images were flagged as having been proceseed with the little +/- badge. Now however, I don't want to go back through every one to find the adjusted ones. Anyone know of another way?

Never use Beta code for production work; software companies, like professional sport franchises will break your heart and spirit every time.
I'm not afraid to trash my previous LR effort because I've been testing Lightroom beta and 1.0 on a separate copy of a subset of my image collection, made just for testing, before I commit to using LR permanently.
I've been continuing to shoot/process with my old workflow and tools until I'm convinced LR is ready to rely on.
Even if I give LR the OK, I'm sure I'll still find bugs, annoyances, limits, but nothing too significant, since I'll have wrung it out well.

Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched. I had to manually locate. Is there a fix for this?

I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
-- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
-- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
So, what is most valuable to you?
-- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
-- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
Of course, you can do a bit of both.
Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
Good luck!

Lines displayed in images that have been "sliced"

Safari displays lines between sections of an image that have been "sliced" where a aprt of the image may be used with linking to other pages of that website or other url's. The header on the following site:
http://www.mcruz.com/MCI-AboutUs.asp and contents pages of this site: http://www.apomessiah.com/guidepost1Summary.asp for a couple of examples.
Is there a way to turn it off???

This sounds as if you would try to import the images a 2nd time.
But you say you want to develop them.
So make sure that your import dialog is no longer open, and that you access the images from library module, left-hand panel e.g. folders or collections.
Then select one image and go to develop module, e.g. via pressing letter d as shortcut.

Automatically mark images that have been exported

Hi,
i really wished LR had a seperate flag for images that have been exported yet. It would be perfect if LR would set that flag automatically when an image has been exported. Just like in RSP.
An oh, speaking about Rawshooter Premium, we need a REAL BACKGROUND EXPORT STACK just like in RSP.
Fred

@ DW Harrison
It should simply be a visual hint (in the grid mode especially. could be a star or just an icon) that reminds you which images (of a collection) have already been exported - in whatever format.
@Grafin
In fact i _do_ use a color code for this purpose, but it would be nicer if it gets set automatically by LR, not manually my me.
Regards,
Fred

Smart collection of images that have been printed

I'd like to create a smart collection of images that have been printed. Is there any way to do this? If not, is there a way to search for images that have been printed?
Separately, one my smart collections screens by edit date so that I can find out what I have worked on recently. However, it also picks up everything I shot and imported recently, even if I haven't edited the images. Is there any way to filter these out?
I'm using LR 5.3 for Windows.
Thank you,
Robert

Here's how I get there. This filters images that have had Develop adjustments within the last three weeks.

How do I save into iphoto some images that have been emailed to me without having to select and save each one?

Hi - I have received lots of emails with photos from a recent party, but I cant seem to select them and save them into iphoto as a group - so far I have been selecting them one by one, but I am getting a bit weary of that! I am sure there a faster way.... any ideas?

Hi Bamber17,
When you're in Mail, click and hold on the Save button and it'll bring up a drop down showing all the photos that are attached to that particular email message. Then choose the "Add to iPhoto" option. Should save you a lot of time.

5 stars not showing up on other computers when importing images that have been worked on. Catalogues settings include write metadata to xmp keywords do show up though

our working group usually one team member imports and completes job in lightroom 5 . All settings on team computers include write metadata to xmp. Key words show up if another team member adds the images to their catalogue but the 5 stars don't show up.
We use the 5 stars to show images that were worked on and complete.
Would love to sort this issue out as we rely on being able to see the star rating not just keywords.

[Sorry for the delay in getting back.] Of the three files you included in the Dropbox .zip, 2 had no rating, and 1 had a 5-star rating (*research*.dng). So indeed, the rating didn't get written to those two files and wouldn't show up when they were imported into another catalog.
A couple of suggestions:
1. Triple-check that the option Automatically Write Changes Into XMP is set in Catalog Settings > File Handling in everyone's Lightroom.
2. After someone sets the rating, check the thumbnail in Library grid mode -- does it have a badge in the upper-right corner indicating the metadata needs to be updated? If it does, then that means the metadata isn't getting written immediately back to the file:

Finding images that have been 'protected' while in camera

Hello, I was wondering if anybody knows how to find images that you protect while they're in your camera? I have a Canon 5D Mark II, and I can select images to 'lock' or 'protect' .. I use that to mark images that I believe are key images while on a shoot.
With Photo Mechanic I can select 'tagged' images .. and those images I have marked in my camera will be selected.
I've tried to figure out if its something I can find in exif .. and have had no luck.
Please help!

There should be a Smart Collection called "Without Keywords" in the Collections Pane of the Library Module. That will automatically contain what you are looking for.
If that isn't there, click on All Photographs then use the Filter Bar>Metadata and filter on Keywords....the top entry (None) will be what you are looking for.

Pasting images that have been put onto the clipboard by other applications

I have the following problem. Might be that I am just overlooking something but I haven't found any information or other java programs that would solve this problem.
I want to access the System Clipboard and retrive images copied onto the System Clipboard by an other application (e.g. paint, irfanView, ... ). Copy and pasting works perfectly with Strings or Images I myself copied to the Clipboard, but as soon as I want to access an image from an other application clipboard.getContents(this) returns null as though the Clipboard was empty. (Where clipboard =getToolkit().getSystemClipboard();)
I downloaded a couple of other java applications that handle images (e.g. ImageJ) and found out that those also can't paste images from other sources.
Is there a way to do that? Has anybody found a solution for that or have I really overlooked something, and it's just one of those stupid bugs one never finds by oneself?

Hi,
this was exactly my problem. With "Copy and pasting works perfectly with Strings or Images I myself copied to the Clipboard" I mean that I copied the Images and Strings from within a Java Application on to the System Clipboard. It didn't work if the image came from another win32 application. I solved the problem by using JNI, reading the images from the clipboard using C++ and then passing an int[] array to the java application.

Suddenly getting "unsupported image fomat" on RAW files that have been working perfectly. How do I fix it and can I get those images back?

I am suddenly getting "unsupported image file" for RAW images that have been working just fine. How do I fix this and how do I get those images back? Version 3.4.5, Canon 7D, everything up to date and no updates since files were loaded into Aperture.

Would it help to buy a separate external hard drive for Aperture?
That would be by far the best solution. And it would make the backup easier. You could include the "Aperture" drive in your Time Machine backup. With the original files stored on your Time Machine volume there is no way that Time Machine could back them up.
Use Disk Utility to format the new drive "MacOS X Extended (Journaled)".
Set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. (select the drive in the Finder, use "File > Get Info ⌘I)
In the "Get Info" panel your drive should look like this:

Removing photos that have been deleted

I used to have photos on a hard drive that were linked in iPhoto. The hard drive crashed and now everytime I access on of those photos, I get an error message. Is there any way to quickly fix this? I have thousands of photos and would hate to go through them individually.
Thanks,

There's no way to make iPhoto 'forget' the images that have been trashed independent of it, and so you have a corrupted Library.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Finding images that have not been tagged?

How can I search/find images in LR4 that have been imported though not tagged?
Thanks.

Delete rows that have been dropped in a CDC flow

Post Author: sgsampey
CA Forum: Data Integration
A newbie question:
I have a source table called Events with (significant) fields that look like:
EventIDEventNameBeginDateEndDateDaysOfWeekModifyDate
These data ranges can be quite long, and there's an exception table if the Event isn't being held on a given day
ExceptionIDEventIDExceptionDate
I need to flatten this data into a target Event_Instance table of individual days:
EventInstIDMasterEventIDEventNameDateDayOfWeek
I'm going to populate the target by combining Event source (filtered by modify date to only grab updates and additions) with a SQL table that creates a range of days, join that with the exception table, and filter based on no match in the exception table. That part's easy.
The problem I'm having is what do do when an Exception is removed or updated (Events are never removed - just canceled). There's no ModifyDate to look at. I know I need to create a buffer table to track changes, but once I identify execptions (in a Query Transform) that have been added since the last ETL, I don't see how to remove those Event_Instances. The two only solutions I can come up with is to wipe the entire Event_Instance table and rebuild with every ETL, or to add an 'action' field to Event_Instance, updateit to 'D' for those rows that need to be removed and then execute a SQL command to delete those rows once done.. I know there must be a better, incremental way to do this. TIA!

Your Mobileme galleries should be listed in the library pane on the left. How about creating a new album in the main library and dragging the images from a gallery to the album. Then delete the gallery and recreate it from the album.

How will Aperture treat Nikon raw images which have been enhanced using Capture NX2 software? Some are cropped and "developed" and some have been enhanced using the control point technology. I have NIK sw as a plug-in in aperture.

Actually, there is a Nik/Nikon connection — but I am pretty sure it is irrelevant to the OP's question. The connection is that Capture NX2 was written as a joint venture between Nikon and Nik. (The name similarity is a coincidence.)
Capture NX2 is a cool program that incorporates the features of Nik's Viveza and Nikon's Raw processing engine, along with some other powerful image adjustment features. It provides, like Aperture, a losses workflow. Unlike Aperture, the adjustments (Edit Steps in C-NX terminology) are saved in the original NEF file along with the un-altered raw data. Multiple versions can be saved in a single NEF.
