Is it possible to use Lightroom with multiple computers that are not networked?

I am new to Lightroom although I have been a professional photographer for over 15 years. Currently, I use the software that came with my camera to process my RAW files, Digital Professional Pro by Canon for a Mark II 5D.
I have been evaluating the lasest version of Lightroom to consider purchasing it. So far, I love the expanded ability for image adjustments and enhancements. However, in my current workflow, I need to be able to save the adjustments to be able to transfer the files to another computer. Is this possible with Lightroom? With Digital Pro, I can tweak a RAW file and it will save the adjustments no matter what computer I open the image file on. I need to be able to duplicate this process in order to convey to our production department how I want an image adjusted and cropped.
I downloaded the trail version on two computers, then imported images into Lightroom. Made adjustments, then copied the images to a flash drive.Uploaded images from flash drive to my laptop, then re-imported the images into Lightroom and the adjustments were not saved.
Thanks for any help.

After some research, my answer lies in the XMP file. Whenever I make adjustments to the image, I can save my adjustments by creating an XMP file (CTRL S). It writes it back to the original image folder so when I burn the folder to hand off the files to my production team, the xmp parleys my image adjustments. They in turn can make adjustments and send them back to me, if needed. Just took awhile to find the information because even though I am kicking the tires on LR4, it was a LR1 video that gave me the infomation.

  • Can I use this app to log on to computers that are not in a network

    I'd like to be able to log on to a few clients' computers who are not on one network and be able to provide remote tech support.
    Will this Remote Desktop app work for that, or does it only work for computers that are all on the same network?

    Thanks so much.  I couldn't tell by reading all the literature if it was possible or not and no one at Apple could help.  I had a feeling it wasn't going to work the way I wanted it to.  I will check out LogMeIn and see if that suits better.
    Appreciate very much your responding to me so quickly.
    Thank you!

  • Using Lightroom on multiple computers with the same images

    When using lightroom on my PC I download the images to an external hard drive.  When I am away from home can I use lightroom on my laptop and down load images to the same external hard drive and process them and have lightroom on the PC locate them when I return home.
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    Yep.  If you're regularly going to be multiple machines, the easiest solution is to put the catalog file on the external hard drive, and just open that same catalog on both machines.  The alternative is to use import from catalog when you get back to your main computer, to copy the holiday photo settings into your main catalog.

  • Is it possible to sync PDFs with multiple computers using the same apple ID?

    I have successfully synced these PDFs with one computer (iMac) and one iOS device (iPhone).
    However, I can't figure out how to sync the PDFs with the second computer (Macbook Pro).
    I added the PDFs to iTunes by dragging them into the books tab. I then set the iOS device to sync books via iBooks.
    Does iTunes only sync books purchased from the iTunes store?
    I am using iTunes v11.1 on both computers.

    If you have tow computers that wish to talk to each other then no matter what Buddy List you use you will need two accounts.
    If this is a List that logs into the AIM servers it can be an old @mac.com name, the newer MobileMe name or an AIM name.
    With a Jabber List it can be a Jabber ID or GoogleTalk ID
    In a straight forward set up Jabber Lists (Jabber ID) can not talk to AIM Buddies or An AIM Buddy List (Screen Name) talk to Jabber Buddies

  • How to use iPhone with multiple computers on iTunes 11?

    Both of my computers are Windows 7. I try to manage my music and videos on both iTunes. I used to be easy, like you just check the "Manually manage music and videos" square, and everything is fine... But after I update to iTunes 11, it just doesn't work. There is no resulting dialog box coming up where I can click "OK" after I checked square, and no matter I click "apply" below or "done" above, the iTunes asks to erase and sync with the iPhone. After it syncs, the "Manually manage music and videos" is checked. But if I move to another computer another iTunes, then it says I'm already syncing with one iTunes, and it needs to erase and sync with my iPhone again... and of course, the "Manually manage music and videos" is unchecked on this iTunes... If I try to check that on this one.. it's the same story happened before... Basically, there is just no way I can use one iPhone on two iTunes 11, is it?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Can't Use Shuffle with Multiple Computers?

    So I'm helping my dad with his iPod Shuffle, and I'm having a strange problem. He apparently loaded all the music on it from a G4 tower, and now when we plug it in to his laptop, it says that it can only sync with one computer at a time, and you can either transfer purchases off it or erase and sync.
    The odder thing is that it gives the same message on the tower. There doesn't appear to be an option to turn off auto sync. Do you have any ideas?

    An iPod shuffle can't contain music from more than one iTunes library at once.

  • Inbound Invoices (EDI 810) with multiple items that are the same keys.

    One of our Vendors just started sending us 810's that have multiple items with the same P.O., Delivery, P/N, Price, etc.  The reason is that they (and we) track inbound batches for the purpose of traceability, so the only difference between items on both the invoice and inbound delivery is the batch number.
    SAP will not allow the automatic creation of an SAP Invoice with these conditions.  The error message is M8321 - 'Document contains same order item more than once'.
    SAP Note 103051 says it cannot be done, and you must "Deactivate the billing of the batch sub-items in SD Customizing" in order to have an Invoice created that combines all items into one.
    Does anyone know how to do that?
    Thanks in advance!

    Nevermind. Fixed the problem. Two menu items both began with the letter S. Added an & before the second letter of the second menu item and now the problem is fixed. First items hotkey is S and the second items hotkey is now h (which is the second letter of the 2nd menu item).

  • Is it possible to keep contacts on my iphone that are not included in the cloud?

    I am using icloud to sync company contacts between all users.  Is it possible for someone to keep their contacts on their Iphone and still use the cloud without losing their personal contacts or syncing them into the cloud?
    In other words, we are using the cloud company wide for the contacts information - which is stored on a Maverick computer.  The owner would like to sync her Iphone with the cloud, but not lose her personal contacts on her phone.  Meanwhile, she does not want her personal contacts synced with the cloud.
    How can I accomplish this task?

    Have her create a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, entering her Apple ID (a different one than is being used for the company iCloud account), the turn on contacts syncing with this account.  After doing this she can then sign into the company iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and turn on contacts syncing there as well.  Both contact lists will appear on her phone but her personal contacts will only sync with the secondary account which only she will have access to.  She can easily filter her view to see only the company or personal contacts by opening the contacts app on her phone, tapping Groups, then tap each of the accounts until only the one she wants to view is checked, then tap Done.
    If she would rather not use iCloud at all for her personal contacts, have her set up a Gmail account on her phone (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>Gmail) and sync her personal contacts with Gmail instead.

  • Is it possible to transfer photos from the iPad that are not in camera roll but in albums I have created?

    Hi there. can someone please tell me there is a way of doing this because I was on the phone to 121 for two hours and they couldn't help in the way I wanted.
    I have a customer who took his iPad on holiday and with a cable adapter used it to back up the photos from his campact camera.
    Whilst he was out there he took the time to separate all the photos into albums using the standard iPad 'Photos' app. There must be 50 or so albums in there.
    So now he wants to get those photos off but keep the organisation the app has allowed him to do but if we plug it up to either his Macbook pro or Windows neither the hundreds of photos or thier albums are nowhere to be seen.
    The only way I can find to get them out using Macbook or Windows is to transfer photos back into the camera roll or to share them via the cloud but both ways lose the album organisation.
    Obviously if there is no way to do this (which seems bonkers for a modern device) then we shall have to painstakingly do just that. It would be nice not to have to endure the hours of work is all.
    Thanks in advance!!!

  • Best way to create output with only topics that are not finalized

    I'm nearing the end of a project and I need to isolate the topics that still have questions. I keep trying things, but nothing gives me what I need. Any suggestions? Here's what I tried.
    I'm using RoboHelp 9 (RH9).
    Status
    I can get a report of the topic names and their status using Tools > Reports > Topic Properties and then setting the Options to include only Topic Status, but this isn't useful; that gives me a list of 396 topics, in alphabetical order.
    For each topic, you end up with 3 lines. For example:
    Adding Customers - Adding_Customers.htm
    Status:
    Status: Ready for Review
    I saved the report as TXT and opened it in Word and did a global replace of Status:^p (that is, Status, colon, new line) and then Status, colon, tab. That reduced it to 2 lines for each topic:
    Adding Customers - Adding_Customers.htm
    Ready for Review
    So that's still not very useful. I would have to write a macro or something in either the Word file or once I got it into Excel to concatentate those two lines.
    And even then, I could sort the data and get rid of the lines that show Complete (using an Excel formula), but how would I print out just those topics? If there are only a few, that's no problem, but there are at least 30. (Things changed and topics changed and now some need re-review, and some still have questions.)  Could I make an index out of those lines? No, that would involve a lot of work to write out the XML.
    Okay, so I tried another approach...
    Conditional Text
    I created a duplicate Table of Contents and applied my Questions condition to three topics. I then created a Printed Doc output and specified an Advanced condition saying to include only Questions. That gave me more than the three topics, but not all of the topics. The help says that you can use an Advanced Conditional Build Tag Expressions, and that if you want just those topics with a specific tag ("All topics to which one tag has been applied"), just include that tag.
    BUT it also says: "Topics and topic text to which you have applied no conditional build tag are included in the output."
    So, if I want only those topics to which I've applied a TOC condition of Questions, I need to create another condtion (for example, DONE), and apply that to all the topics that I don't want to print.
    So, assuming I have 30 topics with the condition Questions, I would have to apply my new DONE condition to 366 topics. Yes, I know you can apply a tag to more than one at a time, but I would be wary of doing more than 5-10 at once.
    Still, that looks like the best solution so far. I'm going to back up my project and then start doing that. In the meantime, does anyone have any other way of doing it?
    I'm using RoboHelp 9 (RH9).

    First, no reason to be concerned about applying a tag in the topic list to many topics.
    Before my time the company had an author who wrote in a topic "This is ****" intending to return to it later. He did when a customer phoned asking if the statement was true!
    What I have done is institute a simple method that also helps with reviewing. We add three hash marks ### to any topic at the top or at the point where it is incomplete. We do that using a character style rather than a paragraph so that the text can be within a paragraph. The style is called AuthorComment and we also apply a tag called AuthorComment. Both have a vivid colour applied. EXAMPLE ### Let me know if you have a problem with this.
    When we generate for internal review, we leave that stuff in as it grabs the attention of reviewers so they respond to the comment / question.
    When we generate for external use we add the tag to the build expression but we also do a search of all topics for ### using a third party find and replace tool. TextCrawler for example.
    It's simple and it works beautifully.

  • How to convert PDF with accented letters that are not Unicode?

    Hello all,
    I have a PDF letter that is written in Spanish. When I copy and paste the Spanish word: organización
    ... it is pasted to Noepad or Word as:
    organizaci
    ´
    on
    The word displays properly in the PDF, however I believe it was created originally as a combination of characters and NOT as a unicode character.
    Is there some way I can export this to create the proper accented characters?  Is there some specialized converter for this?
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

  • How to use lightroom with desktop PC and mobile with MacBook Pro ?hav

    At home I have a desktop PC with all my lr files stored on NAS drive I want to be able to access and edit on macbook when away from home.
    1 Is it possible or do I need a Mac pc or change laptop to windows based ?
    2 do I use remote access to NAS or use previews and sync catalogue ?
    3 can lr exist with both file formats at same time ?

    I use a similar setup, with a Windows desktop PC and a MacBook Pro. My photos are on an external drive connected to the Windows machine, and I sync the catalog and smart previews using Dropbox.

  • APD using Query with multiple structures as a data source

    All,
    I want to set up an automatic process which executes a query and exports it to a shared drive as a csv file. I have tried various options , when I try to use APD to set up the extract, I get an error and this is because the query that I am trying to use has Strucutres in both rows and columns. Hence, I am unable to use this option. I tried RSCRM_BAPI, It works well, but there is an issue with scheduling this in Process chain. I created an event and scheduled this as a job to trigger after "event" as per SAP instructions, but the job does not exist and it is not possible to trigger it through the Process chain unless the variables are hard coded in the query which I do not want to do.
    Can any one tell me if there is a way to deal with APD using Query with multiple structures?
    Would really appreciate if some one can give me the right solution...
    Thanks

    Hi Tanu ,
    APD is an option but its not very good with large amount of data or hiearachies or if you have attributes in you query structure .
    One more option for this requirement is use of report program using function module RRW3_GET_QUERY_VIEW_DATA .
    This will work fine with multiple structure etc .
    There are some overheads with this FM  ex: if amount of data is too much then program will give dump .Solution for that is we call the FM in LOOP by diving amount of data need to be fetched .ex:  we can read data quarter wise.
    For using this function module what you can do is write an ABAP program (At SE38 ) .which will call this FM and then write the output into a flat file which you can save at application server (AL11) .From there other system can read it .
    To automate this whole process you can further add all the report programs into a process chain (RSPC) which can be schedule as per requirement .
    To pass input parameters you can use variants that will pass the values to the report .
    Check thi link for sample code :

    IS it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad That has the same address? I Will Go to China soon And i would like to discuss With my kids from there i.e. One IPad in China And one in Montréal.

    No, this is not possible.  It would be like dialing your own phone number.  You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad.  See the following link which will tell you how to do this.  You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.

    I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?
