Lightroom 1.0 and size restriction (limit)

Does anybody know what the size limitation is in the new version ?
I personally think it is a design flaw that users cannot use Lightroom to catalog large files. I understand that doing any adjustments or the like could be too much for the program to handle , however : if one only wants to have a thumbnail and preview , ( I would use Photoshop ,as I assume anyone working with large files in general would, to do any editing) Lightroom fails. As a result , the developers put in Lightroom beta 4.1 a feature that creates a "unable to read these files" folder. I found this to be a weak compromise for a program hailed as an "all inclusive tool for the professional photographer" This says to me , "you can use Lightroom if you only have small files"
Most contemporary photographers I think would agree that although not the norm , at some point someone requests a mural for a fine art exhibition, commercial application, billboard, etc. resulting in large file sizes. I don't understand why they would want you to have to switch back and forth between bridge and Lightroom and keep track of two databases. I had provided feedback and user requests as did others concerning this issue.

Interesting responses everybody. I do think LR is a good program as I have been using the beta as well as Aperture and comparing the two. Extensis Portfolio , although not a "developing" program from the beginning had no size limitation in its cataloging. It extracted(or created) a thumbnail, generated jpg previews and automatically updated changes to files each time the program was started. In contextual menus you could export a copy, open in PS, and various other commands right out of the program without hogging memory. Nobody has offered an educated reason for the size limitation. Can it not manage memory ? Ok, maybe not, but that doesn't mean it couldn't at least catalog the large files. If this is the case , my suggestion would be to implement a "lock out" feature that would not let you "develop" large files in LR but could still generate and update thumbnails and allow you to organize them within your filing system. Then you could at least manage versions and changes within LR with out having to switch to Bridge or the like. Making JPG versions is not a good workaround.. to assume people only have a "few" large files to keep track is very one-dimensional thinking. I personally know of several mural photographers that work exclusively with digital cameras/backs , are they not considered a valued target market for LR ?

  • Flah Player Screen Position and Size Restrictions

    Hi All,
    I'm creating an interactive program which is to be used on
    Windows desktops through flash player rather than as a projector or
    html page. My problem is screen positioning and
    resize-restrictions.
    I want to be able to restrict the user from resizing the
    flash player; the stage size is currently set to 800x600 and I want
    to keep it that way on the desktop as I'm using photographs which
    when the player is resized is leaving blank bars down the sides
    (due to the photographs being 800x600).
    I'd also like to be able to position the flash player in the
    top-left hand corner of the screen.
    I'm not great at flash and have tried numerous things but
    can't get these to work, can anybody help?
    Regards,

    Hi
    This is possible, if you make your Flash file into a
    Projector file and
    bring it into Jugglor
    http://www.jugglor.com
    Download a FREE evaluation copy and look at
    Jugglor -> Setting Settings -> Windows Settings
    Here you have the restrictions as you require.

  • JMS Adapter Maximum Message Size Restriction and Impact

    Hi ,
    We have business requirements,where the Maximum message size that needs
    to be sent or received from  around 25 to 30MB usig JMS XI channels.
    But, "Note 856346 - J2EE JMS Adapter: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)"
    specifies as below,
    2.12)What are the message size restrictions in 640/700 release and also
    710 releases?
    Answer: The maximum message size for 640/700 releases is "10MB"
    Please let us know,
    1) If you see any issues with JMS XI Adapter handling 30MB messages in
    Production systems.
    2) If 30MB is huge, what is the maximum permissible message size
    greater than 10MB as break point.
    regards,
    Amit

    1) If you see any issues with JMS XI Adapter handling 30MB messages in
    Production systems.
    If message size beyond 10MB then the message wont come to SXMB_MONI itself.....may be even in CC monitoring there may not be an entry....you mentioned Production Systems.....did you checked in Dev? The behavior wont change from Dev to Prod.
    2) If 30MB is huge, what is the maximum permissible message size
    greater than 10MB as break point.
    10MB itself is the limit...anything above that wont be processed.

  • Image size and output restrictions

    Do I understand it correctly, that it isn't possible to even open larger files than 1600x1600 in this app and the only local output possibility is a low quality jpeg? it's not mentioned in the description or tech data (why? ) just in some of the reviews, so I want to make sure as it is the key decision factor for me - I need an app that will allow me to adjust and export my DSLR pictures on the spot for immediate presentation e.g. at a wedding party, or to my own web gallery.

    Thanks for both of your answers, so the problem of opening images is solved (my problem was that the tech specs don't state what will happen to images larger than 1600x1600, auto crop on opening would mean the app is unusable as I really don't use just the center of the image, same as not opening larger images at all. Auto resize to fit canvas size is logical, but from some of the reviews on the Android market I wasn't sure that this is what the app does and wanted to be sure. I still think that the canvas size restriction is unnecessarilly tight and eg. 2000x2000 or 2500x2500 possibility would be much more useful and not a problem for faster tablets (as I normally work with 12 Mpix raw files on a 4year old laptop), but I think I could live with this.)
    But the second problem with image saving isn't solved - I need to know, what options there are for local output to the memory or SD card/USB port device in the tablet. From some of the reviews, it seems to me that it is possible to output files only by email or cloud, which seems crazy to me, but I want to make sure they are wrong... Not mentioning that it would be impossible in certain situations. eg. when photographing a wedding somewhere without wi-fi connection and with the need to output photographs for example to somebody elses computer for a slideshow or for printing them, so that the newlyweds get them at the evening party, etc...
    And I don't need just the pixel dimensions of the output file, but also the possible quality settings. 1600x1600 is usually usable, but it depends on the jpeg compression setting too.

  • Size of Lightroom Previews.lrdata and upgrading to 1.1

    Hi
    Thinking about taking the plunge for upgrading to 1.1, but only have just over 8Gb free disk space. Given the upgrade to 1.1 will be rebuilding the database it's going to need the existing space of the databases and then some. The current database size is about 110Mb, but the Lightroom Previews.lrdata is using over 10Gb of space.
    A couple of questions, does anyone know if the upgrade uses the existing Lightroom Preivews.lrdata or whether this is upgraded as well (implying I'd need well over 10Gb of free space before attempting the upgrade).
    Secondly, is it safe to delete Lightroom Previews.lrdata - will Lightroom re-create and re-populate the previews (I previously had the preview sizes would up higher than I probably should - and whilst I can discard the 1:1 previews, how do you get the remaining previews to be discarded or re-built at a lower resolution?).
    For this issue, I'm on a Mac.
    Thanks
    Greg

    1.1 uses the same preview cache as 1.0. The only rebuild is some shuffling of data in the main database.

  • Webdynpro to limit MIME types and size

    Hi,
    I need to write an web dynpro application to limite the file type and size using IWDFileUpload API, does anyone has some suggestion ?
    Thanks a lot.
    Kind regards
    Ben.J.

    Hi Ben,
    I think you can restrict the file type and and also check the file size before uploading the file. You need to write the logic to check out the file type.
    Use the following code to check restrict the file upload of only txt file...
              IPrivateTestView.ITestElement pf =
                   wdContext.nodeTest().currentTestElement();
              IWDMessageManager mgr = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
              if (pf.getFileResource().getResourceType().getFileExtension() != null
                   && pf
                        .getPatchResource()
                        .getResourceType()
                        .getFileExtension()
                        .equalsIgnoreCase(
                        "txt")) {
    // Check if file size is in valid range.. call getFileSize()
    mgr.reportSuccess("File can be uploaded");
              } else {
                   mgr.reportException("Kindly upload ont TXT files", false);
    And use following code for calculating File Size:
         private String getFileSize(IWDResource resource) {
              InputStream stream = null;
              DecimalFormat myFormatter = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
              double size = 0;
              String unit = "";
              try {
                   stream = resource.read(false);
                   size = stream.available();
                   if (size < 1024) {
                        unit = " Bytes";
                   } else if (size < 1048576) {
                        size = size / 1024;
                        unit = " KB";
                   } else if (size < 1073741824) {
                        size = size / 1024 / 1024;
                        unit = " MB";
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
                        e.getLocalizedMessage(),
                        true);
              } finally {
                   if (stream != null) {
                        try {
                             stream.close();
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                             wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
                                  e.getLocalizedMessage(),
                                  true);
              return myFormatter.format(size) + unit;
              //@@end
    This way you can restrict the users. As far as I know there is no standard way of restricting the same

  • Size Restriction in backand and portal

    HI All,
    i have a query which contains more than 500.000 cells. modified the BICS_DA_RESULT_SET_LIMIT_MAX prameter in RSADMIN table (900.000), but the default on portal does not change. if i open the report from the pcd the bex web application designer always shows maximum 500.000 cells, i always have to modify manually.
    i tried to follow the instruction in 'Activate Size Restriction for an Individual Query View', but there is no 'restriction for Restult Set tab' in the web application designer.
    i also tried to modify the standard web template, but didn't find any option for it.
    does anyone know, if i should modify this limit manually every time?
    thanks in advance

  • XML schema size restrictions

    I was wondering what size restrictions there are on XML schemas? I'm developing a schema that has just raised the following error on registration.
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-31084: error while creating table "CAS"."swift564357_TAB" for element "swift564"
    ORA-01792: maximum number of columns in a table or view is 1000
    ORA-02310: exceeded maximum number of allowable columns in table
    ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XMLSCHEMA_INT", line 0
    ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XMLSCHEMA", line 151
    ORA-06512: at line 828
    On removing a few elements from the schema it registers fine, but querying the generated table swift564xxx_TAB there is only ever one column, typed with an ADT that itself only has 5 elements. In fact there doesn't seem to be, on the face of it, any type that has more than 20-30 elements. Where does this error come from then?
    Unfortunately the schema exceeds the 20k limit on postings. I can split it up and post it in two parts if this would help.
    Thanks
    Marc

    Each attribute in the ADT and each attribute of attributes which are an ADT count as one column
    Here's a snippet from the next version of the doc that may help...
    3-20 Oracle XML DB Developer’s Guide, Rel. 1(10.1) Beta 2 Draft
    A number of issues can arise when working with large, complex XML Schemas.
    Sometimes the error "ORA-01792: maximum number of columns in a table or view
    is 1000" will be ecountered when registering an XML Schema or creating a table
    based on a global element defined by an XML Schema. This error occurs when an
    attempt is made to create an XMLType table or column based on a global element
    and the global element is defined as a complexType that contains a very large
    number of element and attribute definitions.
    The errors only occurs when creating an XMLType table or column that uses object
    relational storage. When object relational storage is selected the XMLType is
    persisted as a SQL Type. When a table or column is based on a SQL Type, each
    Registering an XML Schema with Oracle XML DB
    attribute defined by the Type counts as a column in the underlying table. If the SQL
    Type contains attributes that are based on other SQL Types, the attributes defined
    by those Types also count as columns in the underlying table. If the total number of
    attributes in all the SQL types exceeds the Oracle limits of 1000 columns in a table
    the storage table cannot be created.
    This means that as the total number of elements and attributes defined by a
    complexType approaches 1000, it is no longer possible to create a single Table that
    can manage the SQL Objects generated when an instance of the Type is stored in the
    database.
    In order to resolve this problem it is necessary to reduce the total number of
    attributes in the SQL Types that are used create the storage tables. Looking at the
    schema there are two approaches that can be used to achieve this:
    The first approach uses a ’top-down’ technique that uses multiple XMLType
    tables to manage the XML documents. This technique reduces the number of
    SQL attributes in the SQL Type heirarchy for a given storage table. As long as
    none of the tables need manage more than 1000 attributes the problem is
    resolved.
    The second approach uses a ’bottom-up’ technique that reduces the number of
    SQL attributes in the SQL Type herirarchy collapsing some of elements and
    attributes defined by the XMLSchema so that they are stored as a single CLOB.
    Both techniques rely on annotating the XML Schema to define how a particular
    complexType will stored in the database.
    In the case of the top down techniqueby the annotations SQLInline="false" and
    defaultTable are used to force some sub-elements within the XML Document to
    be stored as rows in a seperate XMLType table. Oracle XML DB maitains the
    relationship between the two tables using a REF of XMLType Good candidates
    for this approach are XML Schemas that define a choice where each element
    within the choice is defined as a complexType, or where the XML Schema
    defines an element based on a complexType that contains a very large number
    of element and attribute definitions.
    The bottom up technique involves reducing the total number of attributes in the
    SQL object types by choosing to store some of the lower level complexTypes as
    CLOBs, rather than objects. This is acieved by annotating the complexType or
    the usage of the complexType with SQLType="CLOB".
    Which technique is best depends on the application, and the kind of queries and
    updates that need to be performed against the data.

  • Remove Message Size Restriction

    Hello,
    Please suggest a powershell to achieve below two tasks for bulk mailboxes (in .csv), NOT for individual mailbox;
    1) To apply Message Size Restriction
    2) To remove Message Size Restriction, so it will utilize default
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I edit Johnpaul’s command to set message size limits not quotas.
    To apply Message Size Restriction
    Import-Csv "C:\temp\users.csv" | Foreach-object {Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.name -MaxReceiveSize 1GB –MaxSendSize 2GB}
    To remove Message Size Restriction, we just set the value to unlimited.
    Import-Csv "C:\temp\users.csv" | Foreach-object {Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.name -MaxReceiveSize unlimited–MaxSendSize unlimited}
    By the way, message size limit can be set on the following levels:
    Organizational Level
    Send Connector
    Receive Connector
    AD Site Links
    Routing Group Connectors
    Individual
    The path evaluated is as follows: User Send Limit > Receive Connector > Organization Checks > Send Connector > User Receive Limit

  • Output file size restrictions - HD Video for YouTube

    For over a year YouTube has removed restrictions on file sizes for individuals that want to do so.  The preset output in Premier Elements 11 for "Online - HD Video for YouTube 1920X1080" will not allow a video longer than 15 minutes.  I need to remove this restriction and be able to produce files to upload to YouTube without file size restrictions.  How can I do this?

    TheBanjoNut
    You cannot. And, Premiere Elements 12 has the same YouTube limitations as 11.
    You need to export your Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive, and then upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    At YouTube, you would need to explore the opportunities that it offers in the way of "extended times". It may require special accounts.
    Without further details of your Premiere Elements project preset and the properties of your source media, I would generalize and suggest that you look at the follow choices for creating this file for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site...
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets =
    MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30
    or
    YouTube Widescreen HD (changing the settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset)
    Please review. If you have any further questions on this, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thanks.

  • Size/time limit for AppleTV movie files?

    Scenario: I have a few hundred iMovie projects that I want to convert to AppleTV movies. My first project was just under two hours, and it converted fine. The second project was just under three hours total (33GB .DV file), and it crashed at 99% completion on two separate tries, giving me a cryptic error message (15+ hours processing time each attempt -- aargh). I am using the latest version of QuickTime Pro to convert the projects, and not running anything else during the conversions.
    Right now the only solution that seems to work is to split anything over 2 hours into two parts, which seems kind of pointless and diminishes the advantage of the whole AppleTV concept in the first place. Granted most of the projects are around 2 hours, so most of the time it won't be an issue, just on the longer iMovies.
    Anyone know if there is a size/time limit to files that you can convert? Would it be better to import the .DV files into iTunes and try to convert them there instead? Or is there a way to do it from iMovie (I am using the original iMovie HD version from a few years back). Thanks.

    Thanks Winston & Alley Cat for your insights -- I figured I would just do a straight QT conversion to the proper specs and did manage to find it by digging around a bit. In Export(Share) / QuickTime / Expert Settings there is a preset for AppleTV buried deep in there.
    Sorry, I feel like a bonehead for not being able to locate this option earlier. I thought QuickTime Pro was one of the few apps that could only do this conversion, thinking that my version of iMovie HD (circa 2006) was too old to have the AppleTV preset. (Must have been added during one of the QuickTime updates.)
    Anyways, success to report. I tried re-converting the file (2 hours 47 minutes length) and it worked this time. The total conversion time was actually quite a bit faster than QT Pro plus it takes one less step now. I don't know why it is so much faster than QT Pro, but it compressed to the right specs H.264 AAC codec and aspect ratio.
    BTW, I really, really like my AppleTV. Not perfect, but it sure is cool and everyone who comes over and sees it is kind of blown away by what this little box can do.

  • Solution for Visual composer error: 32k span and 64k byte limit

    Dear friends,
    I am getting the error in visual composer 32k span and 64k byte limit since last half year,
    some time error will get resolved by adding layer in to model OR adding some table and form to model OR reduce the animation effect OR even by doing tab strip view for layer model, doing nested ivew.
    but this solution not usefull for every time.
    what should we do for this error(32k span and 64k byte limit),
    is it solved by updating EP version or by EP java stack or any other updates which will solve the This VC error.
    64k error i am getting is:
    +Error in compiling Flex application: Error: A function in the code exceeds the 64K byte limit (actual size = '65570'). Since the problem occurs in the compiler-generated deferred instantiation code, please refactor/componentize portions of this document.

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and back logic

    Hi Lightroom/Photoshop wizards,
    I work in LR and PS CC.  I am now working for someone else and want to make sure that our edited images end up in lightroom after editing in a logical manner so that we can easily see which images will be used for our photo albums.
    Here is how I am working:
    Import photos into LR, give 4 star rating to images that will go into album
    Make some LR edits
    Edit photo with PS (directly from LR)
    Save image in PS
    go through all images to hand pick the ones that I want in the album (now there are copies) This is the part where everything falls apart.  I end up with redundant files and I can't distinguish the finished ones (other than looking one by one to determine the correct version to use).  Is there a logical way to handle this?
    Export to separate "album" folder selected images
    Also, one extra question, If I am working with high res jpegs (rather than raw), how do I maintain the size of the files?  I exported original file and it did not carry with it any changes made in Lightroom.
    Thanks!
    Lisa

    I am sorry if I was not clear. I was thinking that there might be a quick and simple way to identify or flag images that I want to track for say and album.  I want to eliminate any confusion or taking the wrong version of a file.  Perhaps I should just ask what a reliable, logical workflow is when working in LR/PS round tripping.  Perhaps making PS edits first, then Lr changes?  I want the simplest, cleanest, logical, least amount of confusion when working on images for an album.  Having 2 or 3 versions of the same image can lead to confusion.  Some of our images will not be edited in PS, others will.
    No, you certainly want to edit photos in LR first, and then if necessary send them to PS for additional edits that are not available in LR.
    I'm still not clear about "eliminate any confusion". What confusion? As I said, the photos that have been edited by PS will have the word "edit" in the file name, while the photos that have not been sent to Photoshop will not have "edit" in the file name. Also, when you send a file to PS, you can ask LR to stack the PS edited version with the version that has not been sent to PS, thus keeping the pair side-by-side in the Library module.
    My second question is exporting out jpegs without losing any resolution - basically copying the files to another folder for example "edited album images" folder and keeping them in the lr database.  Is there a way to do this through Lr?  When I chose "export" and "original" lr edits did not carry through.
    So in your first message, you spoke of file size, and now you speak of resolution. These are not the same. So which is it? To maintain the resolution, you uncheck the box that says "Resize to Fit".
    I don't understand why you want to copy files to some other folder, Lightroom provides collections and keywords and plenty of other tools to allow you to organize and identify these photos for whatever purpose you want. So you would use these tools to achieve the organization of your original photos or the Photoshop edited versions of the photos. Without a clear justifcation, I would say that in most cases there is not a need to achieve organization of exported photos. Furthermore there is no "copy" command in Lightroom (except at import which we don't seem to be talking about).
    Reading between the lines, it sounds like you want to export to save your edits and then maintain some organization of your edited photos? Is that  correct? As I said, there is no need to do this (nor is it an effective way to proceed). You perform the organization of your photos in Lightroom, no need to export simply to organize. Exporting is performed when the photo is needed outside of Lightroom for some non-Lightroom purpose (e.g. e-mail, web, print, use in some other program).

Maybe you are looking for
