Lightroom 1.3 catalog shows Photoshop application folders (OS X Leopard)

Hi,
I have been using Lighroom without problems for a long time but now I got this weird problem with Lightroom (I am using OS X Leopard & Lightroom 1.3)
Few days ago just in the middle of using lightroom tens of new folders appeared to the catalog. Those folders were not image folders, they are subfolders of "applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3" folder and Lightroom shows randomly some of the images from my "real" folders under those new folders (no on my disk but in lightroom catalog)
I renamed the catalog file and took older backup version to use and after opening Lightroom everything was fine until some new folders appeared again (again folders that are located under Photoshop application folder on my HD)
Next I deleted my catalog and previews files and let Lightroom to create new ones. I imported one folder of images from my USB drive and it worked fine for about minute and again some Photoshop folders appeared to the catalog..
I even reinstalled Lightroom but still this problem exists..
Here is an screenshot of what I mean (only the "sekakaiset" folder is a imported image folder, other folders appeared on their own, and they do no contain images but Lightroom shows some of the images from my "sekalaiset" folder under those Photoshop folders)

Has anyone experienced this same problem? What should I do to fix this?
Thanks, -Jarmo

Thanks guys for the advices!
I checked my smart folders, and found an image that was saved within my old Bilder folder and navigate to it, then moving all the files I had there to my Documents folder, so they're back and safe now (well, safeER).
The "problem" with the pictures folder being in English still remains though. I've tried all of the things that Andreas said, but none of them worked. Using TinkerTool to show invisible files had no result either, the old folder were completely gone.
I even tried uninstalling Lightroom completely (through AppZapper), changing the language to English, rebooting, repairing the privileges, changing the language back to Swedish, then rebooting again. It's still named "Pictures". I have never renamed any of the folders created by the system, so that's probably not the issue.
Any other ideas? Having the Pictures-folder in English sure doesn't kill me, but being a person who likes everything perfect, it sure annoys me! Plus that I wont feel safe moving images back into that folder for a while now.

Lightroom cannot open catalog becouse another application already has it open.

I aget a message that another application has the catolog open but I ahve no idea what has it open. Any idaes on how to figure out what program has it open?

This message is probably due to the fact that the so-called "lock-file" has not been deleted when you last exited Lr.
In your OS (Mac Finder / Win Explorer) open the folder that contains the Lr catalog. If you don't know where it is, see here for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-4.html
The Lr catalog is the file ending with < .lrcat>. Don't touch that one. But see if there is just besides it another file with the ending <lrcat.lock>. This is the so-called lock-file that prevents that Lr can be opened in more than one instances. It should be present when Lr is open but should not be there when Lr is closed.
If you see this lock-file while Lr is closed, send it to the Trash-Bin / Recycle Bin, i.e. delete it. You should then be able to open Lr.

Lightroom 5 adjustments not showing in Photoshop CC

Until a few days ago, when I choose "Edit in Lightroom" my RAW files (NEF) would show up in Photoshop with the Lightroom adjustments (without a warning dialog), but somehow this changed. When I open an image in Photoshop from Lightroom it does not show all adjustments. Also when I open the image as a smart object the Lightroom adjustments are ignored. As far as I know I didn't change any settings myself. I have the most recent versions of Lightroom 5 (5.3) and Photoshop CC (14.2). I've read some older solution for this problem by resetting the warning dialogs, but that didn't help. Anybody else experiencing this problem?

Hi Geoff and all pf you. Here my idea about the problem that me too I am experiencing . Now, this is what I think, after a litlle recap:
-If I crop an image, this will "simply" not be open in PS at all via CMD +e .
-If I use a graduated filter in LR , the exported image in PS is almost all black.
-If I use some brush, the image opend in PS wont show the edits made in LR
-If I export the image via "export button" to create a Tiff or PSD file and open this file with PSCC, then (SO FAR ) it opens in PS in a correct way i.e with all edits had been made in LR 5 or 4
I run a
maverik 10.9.1
LR5 5.3
LR 4.4
PS CC 14.2 x64
Cam Raw 8.3.0.141
The interesting thing came to my attention when I tried to replicate my (our) problems on 2 friends machines . They had no problems at all
1 friend has a
Mac 10.8 lion
LR 5.0
PS CC 14.2 x64
Cam raw 8.3.0.141
2nd lucky friend has
Mac 10.8 Lion
LR 5.3
PS CS 6
Cam raw 7.7
my idea? I hope to be completely wrong but this sounds to me like a MAC Maverik problem. If this is the case we can kiss our back a nice goodbye because none ( apple -adobe) will find a solution. I hope that some Win user or Mac lion installed machine comes up saying they have problems too. I ll be sorry for them , but this could be the worst ever scenario.
PS Just noticed Simon G E Garret up the thread here has NO problem and he s running a window machine.....

Applications showing up as folders and cannot be launched

I have a set of applications that no longer show up as icons now that I have installed snow leopard. the applicaitons show up as folders and not icons for applications. This did not happen in Leopard, but now that I have a new computer(s) in snow leopard it is happening.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks in advance.
DDon

I fixed the problem by copying the applications from the server while on a Tiger machine and then taking the copy to the SL machine and placing in a new folder on the server. The applications came up as application icons and not folders and are running okay on leopard.
The original applications on the server are still showing as folders under snow leopard, however they are applications under leopard and tiger as they should be. Very puzzling but with a little ingenuity I have working for now.
Maybe someone can explain what is happening of the developer will come up with an answer. I have not told them my solution yet.
Thanks for the help.

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog, or is Elements 5 too old to read?

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert? What's the best way to migrate? (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)

Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

PSE 8 - Coverting My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0

My free download PSE 8 begings the conversion of My Catalog (Photoshop Album 2.0) when only 6% of the way into the process it stops giving an error message; "Failed. Try repairing the catalog with the software that created it". Frankly I am not sure where to begin.
My entire catalog, only one by the way, was created with the Photoshop Album 2.0 application. In an attempt to identify what was in need of repair using the slideshow View over all of the photos in my catalog I did identify where some images' were not linked to the actual photo. Any such disconnect I have rectified and am able to view the entire slideshow without interruption suggesting that there is nothing to repair?
Our use of Photoshop Album 2.0 has been unsophisticated. We download our photos from camera/s mainly using the Photoshop application which automatically stores them in the Adobe sub-folder under My Pictures. We then move these into appropriately named separate folders and mapping them onto similarly named Collections within My Catalog. Here we edit and delete where necessary and also caption. Once that exercise is complete, to reduce storage, we go back to My Pictures and remove any duplication resulting from the editing process. As a final test we take a slideshow View of each collection to insure that there are no disconnect.
What can I try next? Is there any diagnostic tool within Elements 8 which can assist in identifying where we need to start with the repair job?

Hi John
Despite successfully running Reconnect and Repair, PSE 8 is still unable to
convert My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0. The 'Problems converting
catalogs to PSE 6 or 7' notes suggests that I might need to first migrate to
Elements 5. Can I take you up on the offer find me a copy?
Actually John I may be making life unnecessarily difficult for myself. I
would like to upgrade my Adobe Photoshop software but have some thousands of
photos with captions. Is there a more simple way to migrate photos, edited
photos all with captions into PSE 8?
Regards
Neil

Edit RAW in Lightroom 4 then Merge in Photoshop 6, or Merge in Photoshop 6 then Edit in Lightroom 4?

I am wanting to make a panorama. Should I first Edit my RAW files in Lightroom 4 then Merge in Photoshop 6, or Merge in Photoshop 6 and then Edit in Lightroom 4?
I can easily edit the RAW files first and then go back and redo them if I have to in Lightroom, but if I Merge it first in Photoshop I no longer have a RAW file to play with.
I am using .DNG files in Lightroom.

I would import the individual photos into LR, make adjustments to the individual photos, use LR’s Merge in Photoshop to create your panorama in PS, then you can make adjustments in PS and LR, but the panorama is no longer a raw file.
You could obviously use Bridge and ACR to do similar things to the individual raw photos as you can in LR, so the choice is the import/catalog structure of LR or just the files in folders non-structure of Bridge.

Why is Lightroom 6/CC catalog not registered under classes?

The LR6 catalog file, .lrcat, no longer shows Lightroom's icon, does not appear under HK_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry, nor on the Windows file association list. Having said that, LR6/CC loads the catalog normally and can be started by double-clicking the .lrcat file. So, the question is probably purely academic as functionality does not seem to be impaired.
(In my case, LR CC has been installed on two machines, replacing LR5.7: desktop running Win7 and laptop running Win8.1. LR6's (upgraded) .lrcat does not show as the default LR file on either machine. Lightroom 5's catalog did.)

So I spent all evening experimenting with different things in Lightroom to try and improve performance and found 1 solution that worked. Although I'm not sure why.
I understand that a design decision was made to render thumbs on the fly. Fine. But what I couldn't understand was why it took so incredibly long. I mean the process was literally locking up my entire machine every time I touched the scroll bar.
The ONLY thing I could get to clear up the problem was to select the top level folder in my catalog, and export the entire catalog as a new catalog. For export I did NOT choose to export the image files or the previews since I only wanted to keep my database (image adjustments, keywords, etc).
Upon opening this newly created catalog, of course everything was slow because there are no previews for anything. Fine. So I chose to render standard sized previews for a couple of the folders in the catalog (about 150 photos each). And then lightroom became extremely fast for browsing and scrolling through thumbnails on those particular folders.
What I can't undertand is why rendering standard sized previews on my old catalog (same photos, same folder) does not improve performance, yet doing it for the new catalog which should be an exact copy DOES improve performance.
The only thing I can think of is that my original catalog must have either been corrupt or there may be some upper limit on how many previews Lightroom can handle gracefully? Since I had standard previews for my entire catalog before.
I'm going to try and render standard sized previews on my entire new catalog tonight and see if the performance remains snappy. But something is definitely not right here.

Can I import my catalogs from PhotoShop without losing my information?

I have over 30k pictures that I have labeled and characterized in PhotoShop. Can I import all the labels and catalogs into Lightroom?

When you say Photoshop do you mean metadata that has been added in Bridge? If so, Lightrooom will be able to read it when the files are imported. Keywords will import as keywords and descriptions will import into the caption field. Some metadata such as camera raw develop settings require you to read-in but there should be no problem with tags and descriptions. I would suggest you try importing a couple of folders as a test, before importing all 30,000 items.

Application Folders

Hello!
I just purchased a new MacBook Pro. I used migration assistant to transfer my files/applications over from my old MacBook Pro and everything seems to be there except there are two things I can't figure out...
1. On my "Downloads" stack, the last thing I downloaded (a picture) isn't on my new Mac, but every other download is. At first, the new Mac was set to sort by date added and only showed very old downloads. I then set it to date created and that fixed eveything except for the one item that's missing. NOTE: My old Mac is set to sort by date added, so why isn't everything showing properly on my new Mac?
2. My Microsoft Office 2008 folder on the dock looks like a normal folder (blue) instead of the customized yellow one like on my old Mac. The same goes for my other applications folders such as Photoshop, InDesign, etc. They all have the generic blue folder instead of the folder that is specific to them.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
James

Lightroom 4.1 catalog issues.

I came back from holiday and booted up Lightroom 4.1, which seemed fine. I downloaded the new files, keywording as usual, as DNG files into a subfolder. When quitting Lightroom I backed up as usual. When I next booted up Lightroom my image subfolder was empty, as were the majority of my other folders. The photos are there but Lightroom cannot see them and they are not recorded as missing but when I tried to reimport some folder contents they are grayed out as suspected duplicates. I have backup going back for ages but loading up another early catalog showed the same behaviour. As I have in excess of 100,000 images in the catalog I don't want to have to reimport or build a new catalog, with attendant keywording, if I can avoid it. Am I missing something?

Some things to try:
1. Make sure you have selected "All Photographs" in the Catalog Panel
2. Turn filters off (Ctrl-L once or twice)
3. If those don't work, select a file name of a photo that had been previously imported into LR, by looking at your photos via your operating system, and then ask Lightroom to find that exact file name
Oh yeah, just in case Jasonized didn't say it strongly enough ... DO NOT RE-IMPORT, this is a TERRIBLE idea except as a very last resort (which situation we are nowhere near at this time)

Is there a problem upgrading Lightroom 4.4 catalogs to Lightroom 5?

I installed Lightroom 5 and it seemed to upgrade my catalog. Once I used it for a while, many folders didn't show any images. I tried synchronizing the folders, but that didn't solve the problem. Luckily, all of my work is fine in Lightroom 4.4. Is this a compatibility problem Adobe wasn't arare of when they launched?
I had to add one set of images I had instaled in LR5 to my LR4 catalog.

The problem seems to be random. After a complete re-boot, most of the folders showed up, but the screen shot shows how most folders looked before.
The folder has 10 files in it, but they don't show. Yesterday a project with many folders displayed about half of the images. Sometimes one or two would show when there were actually many files.
