Importing both smart previews and standard previews crashes

I understood that Lightroom does not use smart previews as previews in most cases and still uses previews as before for working on. I normally import as standard previews because this improves speed whilst working on them. I have just ticked the smart preview box for a couple of files that I thought I might want to work on after transferring them to my externsl drive and it crashed when set with standard, OK with minimal, I am now wondering if in fact the smart previews are the previews it works on and that by setting it to standard as well it has confused the program and that is why it crashed, but then why have the option of both or is it simply a computer resources issue trying to create both standard and smart previews.

Regular previews are primarily for library module (e.g. you need them for loupe view).
Smart previews are only for develop module and exporting (they provide image data in lieu of original (e.g. raw) file).
There is no "conflict of interest".
That said, I have no idea why it crashed unless maybe you ran out of disk space or something (?)
If (because of some problem you are having) you want both but you have to pick one, pick smart previews. Regular previews can be created from smart previews, but not vice versa (yes: it will take time).

  • Both smart converter and disk aid crashes

    while tryin to convert movies for quicktime, my smart converter app keeps crashing. with that, other apps and computer freezes up. i thought that maybe over time the macbook might be accumulating errors and glitches from everyday use. i tried to open up disk aid and clean things up, but disk aid crashes before it even opens. anyone have ideas whats goin on?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process (Disk Utility) in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. 
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • My background image isn't lining up between my design, preview, and web preview. HELP!

    I'm new to using Muse and have spent the afternoon going through online tutorials etc. I understand the fundamentals of adding an image to use as a background, but when I upload the image, it lines up completely different in design, preview, and web preview screens. I've been playing around with different settings but I can't for the life of me figure how to make my preview and web preview look like my design page.
    Below are design page, preview page, web preview.
    I'm sure there is some fundamental piece I'm missing here as I can't seem to find any threads with the same question being posed. If I had hair, I'd be pulling it our right about now.

    1) Resize your image in Photoshop to the maximum width you require for browser display (probably ~1600px, but certainly less than than 2560px) and use Save for Web to create a JPEG of it with the lowest JPEG quality rating you can stand (or your initial page load times will be slow) and import that back into Muse. (The most likely reason the Muse Preview is blank is that this image is too large, in terms of number of total number of pixels.)
    2) In the Browser Fill panel in the Fitting options popup menu choose "Scale to Fill". Scale to fill will scale the image up proportionally such that none of the black background shows. If the aspect ratio of the browser window is different than the image, then a portion of the width or height of the image will be cropped. What portion is determined by how the image is aligned using the "Position:" control in the Browser Fill panel.
    Because browser window sizes vary (since they're user resizable) the display of the image will be different than what is seen in Muse Design view. However, the letterboxing/pillarboxing effect in the screenshot you provided is due to the Fitting Option being set to "Scale to Fit" rather than "Scale to Fill".

  • Can I import both from NSTC and PAL cameras in one project?

    Hi there.
    I have a question.
    I am going to start on a project, a music video, and import video footage recorded from a SONY HVR-Z7U in America, that is 29.97fps NSTC.
    I'm also going to film in Europe, with a Canon HV30, that is PAL.
    So I wonder if there will be any problems importing both HD NSTC and HD PAL footage to a project? Or how should I do.
    I have already opened a 1080i30(60) HD project in CS4 and started playing with the NSTC footage. Is it correct?
    Thank you

    Why not shoot a trial clip in PAL and test it in your project?

  • Muse CC 2014 - Does not update properly changes on websites in preview and browser preview

    Hi, I am working in a project on Muse CC 2014 and everything in the designer view works pretty well, but when I make change to colors, fonts, menus, etc and click preview, I cant see my changes, instead I saw old version of my project, the same happens on the browser preview, I need help cause I have to get this done today. Thank you.

    We purchased CC for teams and upgraded all workers to InDesign CC 2014.2 in March. Because I installed using a package - rather than individually - quite a few plug-ins were not working. This week, I uninstalled InDesign CC 2014.2 on everyone's machine and individually installed InDesign, from the Creative Cloud menu. However, instead of installing the expected InDesign CC 2014.2, it installed InDesign CC 2014. As stated above, "It doesn't even show up that the updates are available, it simply says "up to date"". Obviously this is not true - since we just had 2014.2 last week.
    Can someone please let me know why the new install would have regressed to a previous version - and how I might be able to get the current version back?

  • When iPhoto imports both from Photostream and USB sync, how to select 'remove from iphone' source and avoid duplicates?

    Through observation, it appears/feels like Photostream is not only sync'ing as its own stream but (contrary to what I'd thought before) is also importing into my local iPhoto library.  Is this correct?  And yet, if I want to free up storage on my iPhone, I have found that the easiest, surest way is to sync by USB, select Import, and then Remove from Phone when it's done.  The confusion I have here, however, is that it seems that only the photos actually imported by USB sync are candidates for removal from my phone.
    If I have 500 photos, and let's say 200 photos have been photostream syncd, so when I go to Import, I select "Don't import duplicates" at the prompt, I think after Remove from Phone, I'll be left with 300 photos sitting on my iPhone.
    Is this all correct? What's the best/right way to do it so I never lose a photo or video and also don't clutter up my iPhoto?
    Thanks
    -Bronius

    Regarding iPhoto "also importing into my local iPhoto library" -- that is up to you and is controlled by a setting in the menu  iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import.
    I have used both Photo Stream and the USB import method and find it easier to not use Photo Stream and just periodically do the USB import and immediately delete from the Camera Roll.
    Another option you may want to look at, if you just want to delete a number of pictures already imported in the past is Image Capture. It allows you to select photos on the phone (previously imported or not) and delete them without importing if desired.

  • Design, Preview, and Browser Preview are different

    I made a very simple desig. Master page header has logo and two rectangles: opacity 70% and white.
    Why appearence in design, preview, and browser are different? Am I missing some settings?

    Hi Lucky,
    Muse preview is the closest approximation of how your site would look in different browsers. It is advisable to always preview the site in a browser before finalizing the design.

  • Mail in both smart box and inbox

    I have made a bunch of smart boxes, and the mail still shows up in the inbox.  I hate that.  I want to look in the inbox and see what is left, after everything else has been put in the smartboxes.  I am trying to unsubscribe to a bunch of mail, and I just want to see what I have not decided to keep, via a smart box.  Any suggestions?

    Never mind, answered in several places....... thx

  • Both my iPad and iPhone apps crash, they close up without a reason. I've now reset both devises several times but it still happens. What is the issue? Is it my devices?please help it is annoying me now! Thank you

    I have an issue with my iPad and iPhone. They apps keep on crashing, even the standard apps like mail and safari, notes etc. I have reset the divices and have the latest software, what am I doing wrong? Why would this happen? It is annoying and I want to fix it as I am in the middle of stuff and apps just close! Help.

    I'm guessing it's an app that is on both devices.  Delete all common apps, reset and see how they run.
    Also try clearing your recently used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    - Continually press the red to delete the apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done
    With a quick finger, you can clear this list very quickly.

  • Image content type in Site Asset Image library: The Preview and Thumbnail Preview columns do not display the picture of the item.

    I have two different Site Asset libraries.  The Site Asset Picture library has items of
    content type picture.  The Site Asset Image Library has items of
    content type image. 
    1) I do not quite understand the different between a picture content type versus an image content type. 
    2) the thumbnail and preview columns do not display the image in the Site Asset
    Image Library.  (the image does display in the thumbnail column of the Site Asset Picture library.)  I expected the image to display in the Site Asset Image Library the same as it does in the Site Asset Picture library. 
    Why doesn't it?
    Betty

    I have subsequently found out that our "Site Asset Images" library is a Document Library to which someone must have replaced the Document content type with an Image content type.  I also found out that picture previews/thumbnails cannot be displayed
    in Document libraries.  So the problem was the library type, not the content type.
    So I simply created a new Picture Library (whose content type = picture) and copied the files into that and the thumbnails displayed just fine!
    I bet what led to this is the default "Site Assets" library that is created for a new Team site.  It is just a document library but sounds very similar to the "Assets" library.  I can imagine someone thinking the "Site Assets" library was a standard
    container for images, and simply changed the name to better identify the content! 
    As far as 'image' vs 'picture' content types, I noticed that a new Picture Library contains a content type of 'picture', but an Asset Library contains a content type of 'image' (as well as audio and video).  Although the 'image' content type has a few
    more fields than the 'picture' content type (picture content type does not have thumbnail), the actual Picture Library contains pretty much all the same fields, including the thumbnail.  So for all practical purposes, either library type can be used for
    storage of pictures.  I am guessing that the Pictures Library which uses the picture content type is for backwards compatibility purposes, and that the 'image' content type is newer, being derived from the new "Rich Media Asset" content type and used
    in the new Asset Library which can hold audio and video in addition to pictures.  
    Microsoft Help also mentioned that a Picture Library has a slide view which an Asset library does not.  So my take on that is that if you want the potential of seeing your pictures as a slide show, put them in a Picture library which is still using
    the 'picture' content type of previous SharePoint versions.  If you want to keep pictures organized with audio/video files, then put them into an Asset library which uses the  'image' content type derived from the new Rich Media Asset content type.

  • Workflow for creating one project that can be burned to both Blu-ray and standard DVD?

    Hi,
    I have a 20 minute project and I'm creating a simple single menu with a play button. I'd like to create it once and be able to burn both a 1080p Blu-ray and a standard DVD. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Let me explain how transcoding works for DVD and Blueray.
    Encore transcodes the files separately for DVD and Blueray and once the transcode is done and status shows transcoded the options for transcoding are greyed out, this means you have already transcoded the file and you cannot transcode again without reverting to original.
    For example you have blueray selected in project settings and you click transcode now from project panel the files will be transcoded for blueray, but after transcoding if for any reason you decide to change the transcode settings and transcode the asset again with different settings you have to revert to original.
    But in this case when you want to transcode the assets for DVD you don’t need to revert to original and loose the transcoding done for blueray. You can change the project settings from blueray to DVD after that you will be able to transcode for DVD without losing the transcoded files for blueray.

  • Show both Moving Average and Standard Price of an item in Report Composer

    Hello
    I do follow all my items at standard price. But i wish to get on the same report both the standard price and the moving average price.
    How can i do so :
    1 - either by a default report
    2 - Or by using report composer
    3 - By using a SQL Query
    Thanks
    Stéphane

    Thanks but is there a way to get both data on the same report ?
    The solution you gave me allows me only to output two different reports....I don't mind working with a vlookup from time to time but on a daily basis, this is a bit laborious
    Thanks for your continuous support

  • Both sb 4670 and sb 0220 crash my xp sys

    I have a problem like mhutch7 , but more complicated. I recently installed XP from scratch. I am running a gygabyte 7vrxp . motherboard, with a ati saphire 9600 video card, ATI TV wonder, and windows XP SP2.
    After working perfectly until that point, my computer crashes everytime i attempt to install the ct sb4670 (Li've Platinum) or the ct sb0220 (the li've 5. Digital). (yes i have both). Removing the cards remedies the problem until i reinstall them. Neither the Unipack driver, the ct 0220 included driver make a difference.
    What do i do?

    Can I buy you a sixpack Joe?Thank you immensley for your suggestion. I removed card, uninstalled SB li've,? reinstalled card, let Windows do the drivers and it works now!!?Silly me for thinking i should come to this website and download the latest driver package for this card@?Of course, it didnt work at first,? just went into Ctrl pnl? Sounds and checked digital output only as they are indeed digital speakers. Thanjks again dude.

    Uninstall the current drivers (software for the printer) Check the Konica website for uninstall instructions or reintsall from a disc if one came with the printer.
    And delete the printer from System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
    Then restart your Mac and reinstall the drivers.
