Is there a way of moving imported images in lR4 from mac HDD to and EX HDD with out loosing LR4 data

Hi
i've managed to fill my mack up with images as i imported all my photos to the MAC HDD rather than an external HDD,,,school boy error :\   (but i am new to lightroom)
as there's 30,000+ is there a way of moving them with out having to reload them to the new HDD?  i only found out my mistake when the computer was running on 1% memory...doh!
Thanks for any advice
Andy

In your operating system, move the photos to wherever you want them to be (keeping the folder tree structure the same), and then in Lightroom re-link via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

  • Just started using Lightroom 5. Is there a way to have imported photo changes in Lightroom automatically happen on my hard drive (MAC), this includes develop/editing changes and location changes. Do I have to import them a specific way or have a change se

    Got tired of iPhoto and finally committing to using lightroom. Using the Lightroom 5 i purchased last year and want to commit to making it my primary way of managing and editing all of my photos ( about 8K). Is there a way to have imported images from my hard drive/Finder (MAC) show as the edited or moved image when i am working in lightroom? Basically want what i am doing in Lightroom to be reflected on my hard drive and vice versa so that i don't have to "add" or "copy" every time I want to work in lightroom.

    No need for apprehension Heath.
    Unfortunately Lightroom does have certain limitations:
    A particular catalog can only be accessed by one instance of Lightroom at one time.
    (ie it is not designed for multiple simultaneous access.);
    As far as I am aware a catalog cannot be accessed remotely although images can be.
    Victoria Brampton has a solution using Dropbox where both the images and the catalog are stored on Dropbox.
    Individual users download the catalog to thier workstation and work on images etc and then shut down Lightroom and update the catalog back to Dropbox.
    No one else should acessing the catalog or images while one user is using the catalog and images otherwise a conflict will arise and someones work will be erased.
    Disclaimer: this sort of setup is NOT supported by Adobe and is not risk free (for more reasons than I have elaborated).

  • Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture?

    Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture? We shoot with two photographers and so the img numbers are not in order but I would like to have the photos in chronological order on the disc when I give it to them. Does anyone know how to do this? I have them all in order ready to go in Aperture but when I move them to the disc to be burned they default back to the img number order. Thanks for your help!

    What do you mean by "image number"? The file names like "IMG_7822.CR2" or "IMG_7822.jpg"?
    You can create custom names with appended numbers, when you export your image files to be saved on a disk.
    Sort your images by date in the browser, select them, then use the command "File > Export > Version" to write the files to the disk. Set the name format to "Custem Name with Index" or "Custom Name with Counter" to create numbered names in your current sort order.

  • Is there a way to delete the Apple ID on one device (IPhone 5) and replace the ID on that device with an existing ID used on three other devices?

    Is there a way to delete the Apple ID used on one device (IPhone5) and replace it with another ID that is being used on three other devices?

    If you have turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My you will have to start by turning that off - requires entering the Apple ID password.  Then remove the Apple ID from all places it is used, i.e., Messages, FaceTime, and so on.  Go to the App Store and then Sign Out.  Now you can enter the desired Apple ID and password in all of those places.

  • Problems importing the same clips from diferents cards  IMAC and CS5

    Hi, I'm having trouble importing my clips recorded in The ex1, I'm using CS5 with an imac, The problem is that when I import the same clips recorded in two cards, the second card comes exactly with what is inside the first card.  It does not have what was originally in it, it just copies what was on the first card or vice versa.  But the original folder in my drive is intact with the two cards intact. The problem is when I import it to CS5 on IMAC.  When i import the video the imac makes a long file with all the clips an puts them together except the clips from the previous card, it shows but with the same video that is in the begining of the second card or the last clip recorded in the second card .I tried to import the clip again from the first card and it comes with the same video from the second card again.

    1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
    I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
    I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
    1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
    2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.

  • I am trying to import photo's on i photo.  It downloads all of the pictures on my camera, how do i only select the photos i want?  Is there a way to do this without selecting one photo at a time? is there a way to select multiple images?  thanks!

    To select consecutive images click and drag the cursor over multiple thumbnails to select all at once.
    To select multiple images that are randomly located hold down the Command(⌘) key and click on those images you want to select.
    Or to select consecutive images from a list of images that are together hold down the Shift key and and click on the first photo you want to select and the on the last photo you want in the list.

  • Is there a way to remove a image?

    hi
    is there a way to remove a image that is created and append to the form in J2me.? thanks

    i will be a bit more specific so u can get a rough idea-below is my code
    import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class TCPClient extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
    private Display display;

    form.append(txtField);
    form.append(sImage);
    form.addCommand(exit);
    form.setCommandListener(this);

                                  switch(sIndex){
                                       case 0:System.out.println(sIndex);

    break;
    default: System.out.println("kiss my ass");
                                       }//end of switch

              notifyDestroyed();
              }} // end of commandAction
    /*public void commandAction(Command c, Item item){
         }//emd of commandAction method*/
    after the "image "radio button is selected,the image will appear.if the user does not want the image, the user click the "no image " radiobutton .
    then the image(imageitem) will disappear. if it possible to achieve it ???
    thanks :)

  • Is there a way of aligning the images in iweb photoalbums other than have them be a square?I have them at same height and resolution but htere is a default that shrinks them and aligns them at the bottom.Thanks.

    Is there a way of aligning the images in iweb photoalbums other than have them be a square?I have them at same height and resolution but htere is a default that shrinks them and aligns them at the bottom.Thanks.

    So how did you do it?
    by understand what iweb widgets do, in this case setting gridEntry widget's scalMode preference from fill to fit.
    then reset the displayed image, so it fits in the display area even if it's portrait aspect.
    however, i found some glitches in gridEntry widget that's quite strange... but all fix-able.
    perhaps, iweb experts (whose had poked at my example) here can chime in.

  • Is there a way to not load images in safari? Like on android you can tick a box to load images or no to the internet?

    Is there a way to not load images in safari on ios 7 like in android there is
    The option to load or not load images?

    My reply here was specific for this thread, but as you noted, I didn´t read careful enough. I wrongfully took for granted that issues in the More Like This box was platform dependent. I tried to apolgize accordingly, I would like to see the post deleted, but that doesn´t stop you from policing obviously.
    And instead of arrogantly replying about matters irrelevant for this thread, maybe you should start reading more carefully yourself. The posts you are referring to are related to large images failing to load properly in Safari 7. This is not as you claim "vaguely related". Take this elsewhere if you have a problem with it.
    Again, sorry for messing up the thread.

    Is there a way to automatically import artwork for music already in library?
    I just transferred all my music from a PC into my new mac.
    I saw a widget that fetches the album artwork from the web. great fun!!!
    Now is there a way to fetch all these artworks automatically.
    I did not use istore to buy the music - but imported from my cd collection.
    Thanks.
    What a great system - simple and no hassles. Thanks Apple. Goodbye PC.

    If you are using AlbumArt widget you can do this with the widget interface.

  • Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

    Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

    It's very easy to make an action.
    Go to window > actions
    In the actions panel, simply click the 'create a new action' button, it starts recording as soon as you've created it (when you've given it a name).
    Now you can apply the changes you want to make to the images on the file you have opened.
    After you've done all you need to do. You click the 'stop' button. The action is now ready to use. And you can apply the changes you made on all the other files.
    Then you can continue how gener7 explained.
    I usually include a save and close command, so that the whole batch doesn't end up opened after running the script.
    But if you do that you have to create a new file, and save it to your computer before you start recording the action, otherwise the save command will be replaced by each file. And you'll end up with one edited file in the end. At least for as far as I know!

    I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

    I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
    In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
    Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
    Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.
    Regards,
    Barry
