Is it possible to have working catalog with smart previews on your laptop synced with two eHDD

These external HDD would contain the original dng files and these files would have to be updated when the smart previews are modified.

You could put the pictures in the field on your laptop
Send them to Dropbox from your laptop
At home, when you are on the desktop, access the pictures from Dropbox and put them in a folder of choice
Enhance the pictures in PSE, then send them to a destination folder, to preclude overwriting the orginals
Populate the organizer from the destination folder
This requires that you install Dropbox (free, with quite a bit of storage) on both machines. I have the app on my ipad as well, and it synchs perfectly (no catalog, however).
One advantage to this type of work-flow would be that you can get rid of the non-keepers and save the pictures that you fixed at home, prior to any organizer machinations. The old axiom: It's a virtue to be selective.

  • Workflow with smart previews

    If I export catalog with smart previews to my laptop, do I need to also have smart previews in files on my destop so that when I reconnect exteranl HD to desktop, it will see the changes?

    when you make smart previews and re-import does LR automatically make virtual copies?

  • I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad.  Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not?  (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • Is it possible to have Thunderbird send an e-mail automatically when a message with a specific subject is received?

    I basically want to create a rule that will send an automatically crafted form e-mail to the sender when I receive an e-mail with the subject line "New Swimmer". Is this possible?

    Thank you Todd, I was able to get it to work but I do have a few more questions...
    1) When I tested this, at the top of the message, before any of the text I created, this showed up: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------040406040801080102080500 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    2) After the signature line, this showed up: --------------040406040801080102080500 Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/4QAiRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgAAQESAAMAAAABAAEAAAAA AAD/2wBDAAIBAQIBAQICAgICAgICAwUDAwMDAwYEBAMFBwYHBwcGBwcICQsJCAgKCAcHCg0K CgsMDAwMBwkODw0MDgsMDAz/2wBDAQICAgMDAwYDAwYMCAcIDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwM DAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAz/wAARCAC5ApUDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QA HwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQAAAF9AQID AAQRBRIhMUEGE1FhByJxFDKBkaEII0KxwRVS0fAkM2JyggkKFhcYGRolJicoKSo0NTY3ODk6 Q0RFRkdISUpTVFVWV1hZWmNkZWZnaGlqc3R1dnd4eXqDhIWGh4iJipKTlJWWl5iZmqKjpKWm p6ipqrKztLW2t7i5usLDxMXGx8jJytLT1NXW19jZ2uHi4+Tl5ufo6erx8vP09fb3+Pn6/

    Is there anyway that I can get that to go away? I obviously would prefer a nice, cleanly formatted e-mail to be sent just like I would send if I were creating it on the spot.

  • HT1414 I have lost one app last used months ago, Regularly Synced with I tunes. How to find without upsetting everything else ?

    I have lost one app last used months ago, Regularly Synced with I tunes. How to find without upsetting everything else ?

    Thanks, but I hoped to retrieve Saved information saved in the lost app rather than start afresh with a new download from apple
    The app was for aniverseries, birthdays  and service reminders  etc which I had already entered.
    I have Synced and backed up on my MacBook regularly, but other than a complete restore of my system, I do not know how to find and cherry pick individual apps, or even if it is possible to do such a thing.
    After all this time I am not even sure of the original name of the lost app.
    this sounds  a bit fable !  (and the spell check on this is not good either, not very good suggestions !)

  • I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

    Hi
    I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the device.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

    I had an iPhone 3GS, but my husband had a newer one, so he gave me his when he upgraded to the iPhone4. When we uploaded everything, it took it all except my music. Now when I try to download my music from iTunes, it will not sync with it.
    No error messages
    It pops up the box where it asks if you want to view folders, download your pics, etc. There is nothing in the box about music (iTunes).
    I have rebooted my phone and computer. Downloaded the lastest version of iTunes, Deauthorized and reauthorized the phone. Not sure what to do now.

  • I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

    I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

    I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
    And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

  • Create HDR with smart previews

    Currently, to create HDR images I select my images and choose "Edit HDR in Photoshop".
    Now that we can use smart previews to edit our photos on the go without having to have the full file with us, does this extend to creating HDRs?  I'm going to guess that we need the full file to create the HDR and it can't just apply my "create HDR" changes later when the full files are plugged in like it can normal photo edits, but I wanted to check.
    Also, same question for panoramas.  Can they be done with smart previews or do I need the original file?
    EDIT: In case anyone comes across this in a search, I went ahead and bought LR5 and tried it and it is not possible.  All of the "Edit in" options are grayed out when using a smart preview in lieu of the original file.

    Yes that would make sense because smart previews are for synchronizing work entirely within Lightroom. Once you go outside and into Photoshop you would lose that functionality.

  • I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.

    I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.  When I click on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars it doesn't open and reverts to the home page.  When I try to open Mail I get an error message saying "Cannot get mail.  The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect".  If I press "settings" it reverts to home page.  I was revised to restore settings which I have now done, but the problem has not been resolved. Can anyone help?
    i do have a gmail account and may have used this when I first set up itunes/ipad (I'm new to Apple).  However, I want to synchronize with my Microsoft Exchange account.

    It may be a bit late for your needs, but there's a sync product for Outlook (an add-in) that will sync public and private folders/calendars.  Once you have your items in a mailbox folder, the regular ios sync will bring it to your device.  It's called Add2Outlook, it's made by DidItBetter.com Software.
    It syncs private and public, mailboxes and folders in any direction.  One-way, two-way, read-only or writable.  It also works with Office 365 and hosted exchange providers, if that's your situation.  It works for calendars, contacts, tasks, email, whatever.  It can even sync to PST or between two different Exchange servers.
    It installs on your workstation, not on the Exchange server.
