Lightroom 2.5 Archiving & Performance

First, I appreciate your help.
We are working on incorporating Lightroom into our workflow and have a couple of questions about Archiving. We currently have x00,000 images on backup drives, active on our network, that we have not imported into Lightroom. In looking at the catalogue and metadata search capabilities, I would find great benefit to be able to search all of our images (currently we are using Google Desktop to search archived files - by name). So here is a set of questions:
(1) Does anyone have experience with this volume of images in a catalogue and is there an impact on performance (currently I only have around 7,000 images in my catalogue).
(2) If we take the archived images completely offline does the catalogue maintain a preview or is that stored in the .xmp or raw file. One of the issues I have with Google Desktop is that I cannot display a NEF file for a quick scan. Again I am worried about performance if a find through the catalogue has to reference the raw file to build a preview.
So what I am thinking here is that I would need to churn through an import process over the course of weekends and then be able to use the "ITunes" functionality of creating collections independent of the file structure that has been in place.
Thank you again for your help.

LR 2 is said to show some performance issues with very large catalogs...this is one of the issues being addressed in LR 3, my catalog is only around 50,000 so can't say it has ever affected me.
Previews of files are generated on import and retained for whatever period of time you set in preferences ( 1 week, 1 month, for ever). These can be viewed whilst the images are off line and are stored in a separate folder with the catalog and not in the xmp data associated with the file itself.
I think you will find that even with some of the relatively minor performance issues associated with very large (and we are talking over 100,00 files) the functionality of LR 2 will be far better than any other methods of cataloging images, but you should make sure you back up everything (including the original files) on import in the same folder structure as the files are presently in (makes it much easier for LR to use the backup files if the originals are lost). After import folder structures are irrelevant and you can use collections, keywords and anything in metadata for locating images quickly in the future..

Archive Performance

Hi there,
In a standby database configuration I'm using the following query to determine the MB per second of archivelogs being written to the first five archivelog destinations.
select next_time,
       nvl(avg(case when ad.dest_name = 'LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1' and (completion_time - next_time) * 24 * 60 * 60 > 0
            then (blocks * block_size/1024/1024) / ((completion_time - next_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) end),0) as DEST_1,
       nvl(avg(case when ad.dest_name = 'LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2' and (completion_time - next_time) * 24 * 60 * 60 > 0
            then (blocks * block_size/1024/1024) / ((completion_time - next_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) end),0) as DEST_2,
       nvl(avg(case when ad.dest_name = 'LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3' and (completion_time - next_time) * 24 * 60 * 60 > 0
            then (blocks * block_size/1024/1024) / ((completion_time - next_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) end),0) as DEST_3,

            then (blocks * block_size/1024/1024) / ((completion_time - next_time) * 24 * 60 * 60) end),0) as DEST_5
from v$archived_log al,
     v$archive_dest ad
where al.dest_id = ad.dest_id
group by next_time
order by next_time;The logic behind the script depends on the fact that the next_time column in the v$archived_log table refers to the point in time when the redo log is switched and writing to the archive log destinations begin, can anyone confirm if this is the case? If not, what is the best way to determine the performance of writing the archive destinations?
Note: I know the script is not optimised, I want to get the logic correct before progressing to performance etc.
Thank you
ezuall

Larry,
Thank you for the feedback.
The first destination is local and the other 4 are remote standby destinations.
I am trying to work out at what rate (in MB per second) archivelogs are being written to each destination. I'm hoping this will help me to get an overview of how well the standby destinations are working and how much redo could be created in the Primary Database before the standby databases can no longer keep up.

Lightroom 3.3 export performance very sluggish - help?

Hello,
Last night I installed the 3.3 update and I started editing a day's worth of photos. Everything seemed fine until I went to export the photos. I only had 140 photos, exported as jpg, 800x600, 72 dpi, so they were pretty small. Normally it would take upt to 5 minutes to do this, but last night after about an hour it was only 36% done. On top of that my entire system slowed down and froze up, and I had to reboot. Exporting the remaining photos took another hour, so rebooting didn't fix the problem.
If there isn't a fix released soon, I'll have to downgrade back to 3.2, though I'm not sure how to do that. My business is suffering because of this.
I'm operating a fast processor on a PC with 4 gigs of RAM so I should be fine. The performance was excellent until the recent upgrade, and I haven't installed anything else recently.
Help!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
FWIW, though it is not reflected in the release notes, a fix for this bug was included in 3.4 RC -- I cannot be sure that all forms of slowness which result in a large scratch file are fixed, but the one I had cornered is very dead in the 3.4 RC build (some were seeing more severe scratch file bloat than I witnessed, though in at least one case the slowdown was comparable). The fix was one that could definitely broad impact.
I don't know if anybody is still watching this thread, but if you were previously seeing this issue, definitely give 3.4 a spin and post your updates.
Dan,
I've been running 3.4RC since the day it was released. At first I was experiencing some general sluggishness overall but things improved dramatically when I increased my Camera Raw Cache settings as suggested in the general "why is Lightroom 3 so slow" thread. Overall, the general performance was back to 2.4 day and I was feeling pretty good. Then last night I had to do an export of 76 .jpg files and my system came to a total crawl. Then, after the very long export (sorry I didn't time it) working within LR was very sluggish with constant spinning and "Loading" dialogs as I moved around. In reflection, I recall having this same problem a few weeks ago when I did a SmugMug export. Sorry I don't have more details other than "this issue has not been resolved in 3.4RC.

Archiving - Performance

Hi Friends,
We had Archived FI data for year 2005 for a table
When we run the select query for that table for year 2005 , it is taking lot of time , around 60,000 secs
When we run for 2006,2007 and 2008 , select query is completed within 120 secs
I would like to know if write select query on table which is archived for an year, will it effect any performance?
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
I am also in a archiving project and would like to know which statistics you are talking about. Please provide some information so I can also get it done for my project.
Also I am facing some in COPA data archiving, while using COPA1_XXXX object its took 95 hrs to runt he job and resulted in cancellation of the job. I have activated index 3 for table CE1XXXX. If you know some thing on COPA archiving please tell me.

Lightroom 4.0 beta performance Windows 32 bit

Yes, I realize I don't have the best system. I don't need a lecture, I have what I have. But I hope performance can be improved a little bit. Lightroom 3.6 performs reasonably well. But some features in Lightroom 4.0 beta don't do so well. For instance, I imported about 170 raw images last night, and it took well over 30 minutes for Lightroom to build the 1:1 previews.
Windows 7
32 bit
4 GB ram
Dual core processor, 3 GHz
Our IT guy here at work recommended and sold me this system a couple of years ago. Said I didn't "need" 64 bit. I'd like to shoot him now. Live and learn, I guess.

Jim,
LOL. And Bill Gates thought 640K was enough memory for anybody, they say.
That's about the performance I got on my LR3.6 under Windows XP, maybe a little faster. I was averaging about 12-13 seconds per 12MB raw. Lightroom is like most apps: every release, it is designed to do more and needs faster hardware to maintain the same performance. Everybody wants performance to get better with a new release, but it typically goes the other direction.

How to improve ODS archiving performance ?

Hello,
We are having a huge ODS with nearby 800 millions records. We are
planning to archive this ODS as soon as possible. We've begun to
archive the ODS month by month, but as you can imagine the write/delete
(SARA) process is very slow (full table scan).
We have done a test with 7 million records to delete :
It took us :
2 hours : SARA Write process (create archive files)
12 hours : SARA Delete process (execute delete program)
Our ODS contains 45 millions records per month, we can launch the archive jobs in our production environnement only during the week end.
It will take us months
to complete our archiving scenario.
How can we improve the archiving process ?
We don't really need the data that are beyond 18 months, is there a
better way to delete those data : selective deletion ?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi,
When you are running archiving process...queries might not run or will have bad performance...even a lock can happen...so..Just a idea,
As you said..you require only...Last 18 months data for Query..
So Create/make a new Shadow ODS ZSDO0002 ..should have similar Charateristics and KF.
Then make full Load from Your ODS(which you have to archive)..with selection in Infopackage for last 18 months only.
Make a INIT.
Then Latest Delta should come to this..ODS (ZSDO0002)...not to your old ODS.
Now, Copy the Queries from your old ODS to new OLD...with RSZC
Now archive your old ODS.
Regards,
San!

Lightroom and AVX more performance?

The new Intel Sandy Bridge CPU are advertised as being AVX capabale. Apparently this code (or whatever it is) allows programms to be executed twice as fast as before. Can anybody explain to me wether LR already uses AVX or if it will use it in a future version (such as LR 4.0). And what about Photoshop? Does it use AVX?
In other words: Is or will AVX be relevant for image editing?

AVX is a new instruction set. For any application to use those new instructions, it would have to be compiled for them. LR is currently compiled for SSE2, which was released with the Pentium 4 in about 2001. Since then, we've had SSE3, SSE4 and now AVX.
If LR were compiled for AVX instructions, it wouldn't run on any processor prior to Sandy Bridge. There are ways around this including multiple distributed compilations installed based on processor type or multiple code-paths selected at run time based on processor type. Both have significant difficulties which is why LR is the way it is now - compiled for the "least common denominator" - processors that support SSE2. Even that caused problems at one point in LR's history since some AMD processors popular at that time didn't support those instructions and so LR didn't work on those machines.
I'd love to see the team invest in AVX via the multiple code-paths approach for some of the internals of Camera Raw (not for all of LR, or even all of Camera Raw). However, this might be a big investment of time, I don't really know.

Is adjusting permissions for LightRoom based archive management worthwhile?

I'm trying to set up an archive that is managed through a LightRoom Catalog. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and adjusted the permissions of their files to read only to ensure that LightRoom Catalog metadata changes do not alter or get saved to files.
I plan to have the archive set up in 3 locations with copies of the LightRoom Catalog. I will need to be able to add keywords and collections to a catalog at 2 of the locations. I am interested in using permissions to ensure that the catalog is the only file that needs to travel between the locations. I don't want to get into a situation in which altering the LightRoom Catalog might alter files and necessitate that I either save new metadata to files with each keyword/collection addition or that I regularly synchronize the entire archive to ensure all 3 copies of the archive are mirrors of one another.
I have three serious concerns about the longterm viability of managing file permissions:
1. I worry that it will be difficult to manage the user/s who have the privileges to manage these permissions and that it will be difficult to do so in different locations and on different computers
2. I worry about whether permissions management might introduce some form of file corruption
3. I worry about the time involved in altering an entire archives worth of permissions to read only and the time involved in reversing this every time I want to unarchive content for new projects
I have also posted this question to Luminous Landscape here: Adjusting Permissions for LightRoom Catalog Based Archive Managment. Worthwhile?

... and adjusted the permissions of their files to read only to ensure that LightRoom Catalog metadata changes do not alter or get saved to files.
By default, Lightroom does not write anything to your photo files. Of course, there's no way to prevent a user from changing this default behavior and writing information to the files. I suppose making the directories read-only helps, but people could still change that. If the directories are on a server, then only the server admin could change the permissions.
2. I worry about whether permissions management might introduce some form of file corruption
I never heard of such a thing, but this is an operating system issue, not a Lightroom issue.
I worry about the time involved in altering an entire archives worth of permissions to read only and the time involved in reversing this every time I want to unarchive content for new projects
I don't think you understand how Lightroom works. There would be no need to reverse anything to "unarchive" the content — although in my opinion, the idea of "archiving" content in the first place doesn't feel right ... if the photos are imported into Lightroom at one time, leave them in Lightroom, don't go through an archive process removing the photos from Lightroom followed by unarchive process, that is something that is ineffective and causes numerous problems with non-expert users. When you import photos into Lightroom, the photos still remain on your hard disk somewhere, Lightroom does not actually keep a copy of the photo. Lightroom keeps pointers to the photo's locations and stores any metadata and edits. Removing a photo from Lightroom (archiving) is the equivalent of deleting the metadata and edits, and I cannot see a reason to do that.
So, bottom line, to answer your title question, "Is adjusting permissions for Lightroom based archive management worthwhile?" — without further discussion of your setup and goals, I see no reason to even spend your time on this, unless you are the server admin of the location where the photos are stored, in which case then the answer is go right ahead and make them read-only.

Lightroom 2.1 - 32-bit vs 64-bit performance tests

Hey all...I posted quite a while back about Lightroom 2.0's 64-bit performance issues. Anyway, I just posted some updated tests of Lightroom 2.1, running in both 32- and 64-bit modes; I was very pleasantly surprised by the great 64-bit performance. Here's the link:

FAQ: Will Lightroom work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

What is a raw file?
A raw file is the unprocessed data that was captured by your camera sensor when you took your picture. The only settings on your camera that apply to this file are aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This means that any effects you may have applied to the file, such as white balance or black and white, may not appear in Lightroom. Your camera will create a JPEG copy of your raw file with all current settings applied and save that within the raw file for use as a thumbnail by most applications. When you first view a raw file in Lightroom, you will see this thumbnail, then Lightroom will read the raw data and create its own thumbnail, which may have a different appearance.
How does Lightroom work with raw camera files?
Lightroom interprets the raw data and makes image information out of it. But every camera has a unique sensor and thus has a unique form of raw file. Even though camera manufactures may use the same file extension each time (e.g. Nikon raw files are always .NEF), each camera model has a different way of storing information. Because of this, we must continually update Lightroom for new cameras. As we add new cameras to the list (over 300 now) we update our published list of supported cameras.
Will the raw files from my camera work with Lightroom?
To determine whether your camera is supported by Lightroom, check this list:
Supported cameras
Go to Help > Updates to install the latest release. You can also manually download and install Lightroom updates:
Macintosh
Windows
What if I own a previous version of Lightroom?
Supposing you have a camera that came out after the release of a newer version of Lightroom, so that your version of Elements is no longer recieving updates, you have two basic options:
Purchase the latest version of Lightroom that supports your camera.
Use the latest version of the free DNG Converter (for Macintosh or Windows)
You can convert your files to the universaly compatible DNG format (the files will work with any version of the Lightroom). See In depth : Digital Negative (DNG) for more information.

Can I perform tethered capture from my camera to Lightroom?
Lightroom has the ability to automatically import images from your camera, as you shoot, life. To learn more about setting up and useing tethered capture, please see Import photos from a tethered camera. This list shows all the cameras that Lightroom supports for tethered shoooting:
Tethered camera support | Lightroom 4, 3

For more assistance on Tethered Shooting:
Adobe TV - Import photos from a tethered camera
Will Lightroom help me automatically compensate for the image distortion caused by my camera lens?
The Develop module of Lightroom includes Lens Correction which can read what lens was used from the metadata. With this information it can pick a profile that will reduce distortion caused by the curvature of the lens. For a list of which lenses are supported by which camera bodies, see this list:
Lens profile support | Lightroom 4, 3
If your lens is not currently supported, you have a few options:
Apply the lens correction manually
Use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader (Download: Mac, Win) to see if someone else has created a profile your camera and lens
Use the Adobe Lens Profile Creator (Download: Mac, Win) to make your own profile for your camera and lens.

Lightroom 4.1 RC Put to the test...bizarre outcome

OK, so we put lightroom 4.1RC to an "Un-Tethered" test yesterday, shooting with the new Canon 5D Mark 3, and importing the files using a CF card reader.
I had upgraded to 4.1 RC the day before, and had upgraded the Camera RAW to 6.7RC as well...just to be able to read the new files from this camera.
Anyhow, everything worked great, and the files looked sharp (I know there has been some concern about a "softness" issue, but we experienced no softness...even when shooting primarily with a Canon 50mm 1.0 lens!).
Now here comes the most bizarre part...
As always, the clients ask "Can you email me that photo I really like?"
"No problem", I respond, "I can email it directly from this program"...
Using the "EMAIL" function in Lightroom 4.1RC, I sent the client an email with 2 images from our shoot.
I added myself to the recipient list as well.
Getting stranger...
My client receives the 2 photos on her Andriod phone, and they are fine.
I receive the same email on my iPhone with 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT PHOTOS FROM A SHOOT LAST SATURDAY!!
Wha?
Ok, weird. :-/
I try again....Sending the email once again to myself (iPhone 4) and my assistant (iPhone 3)
I again receive the wrong images, and my assistant receives the correct images.
I head home after the shoot, and try opening up the same email attachments on my iPad2.
Now...ALL the emails have the photo of today's subject...but it's now the same photo, in every email attachment...not the 2 different photos I attached.
Que hahaheho?
Ok...I pull out my MacBook Air and turn on my iMac...start up Gmail....and low and behold...
The correct images appear in all the emails on these systems.
But...my iPhone and iPad are still, to this moment, displaying the WRONG images in the emails I sent.
I've never seen this happen before...and really can't even fathom why this would happen.
I'll happily give you a dollar if you can figure this one out.
Matt Beard
[email protected]

First of all, 4.1 is a release candidate, not really ready for prime time. I wouldn't rely on all those e-mail features to work exactly as they should based on what others have been reporting about the behavior of Lightroom 4.1. To be safe, it would probably have been better to export copies and then NOT use Lightroom to send the e-mail. I don't rely on Lightroom to do everything anyway. I want to make sure I have everything right.
I don't know why you got the results that you did. It is bizarre. It should be reported. But, based on the way Lightroom 4 has been performing, I would recommend being a little more cautious and use more dependable means for the time being.

Using Sony's IDC in combination with Lightroom

I would like to use Sony's IDC Raw converter that comes with the Sony A700 camera, to be able to process through Sony IDC the RAWs with DRO's (Dynamic Range Optimalization) applied (as shot with the A700).
However I would like to keep LightRoom as my archiving base.
Question:
Can I bring RAWs after importing in LightRoom, to IDC?
Can I after converting the RAWs in IDC, bring the resulting PSDs (or JPEGs) from IDC back to Lightroom (for archiving)?
I appreciate your help!

Yes, and No!
Lightroom won't allow you to use IDC on the Raw file, Lightroom only allows ACRaw to be used to "develop" a raw file. However, you can use Lightroom's ranking and review functions to help you decide which files you want to work with. Then right click and select show in explorer. Then select the file you want to develop, and tell Explorer to open in IDC. You then can develop, save as a Tiff and import.
Pain in the Arse isn't it?
Frankly if you have access to Bridge then this is faster and more convenient. Import the ARW and use IDC to make Tiffs.
But why do you want to do this?
Frankly DRO only becomes special when you use DRO Advanced. Anything else can be easily duplicated in Lightroom. DRO Advanced can not be done by IDC,(it's like Lightzone on Steroids) it's done by the camera, the processor looks at each pixel and compares it with adjacent pixels and makes adjustments in the jpg. So the only way to utilise DRO Advanced (and it's astonishing what is achieved) is to shoot in Jpg (and probably in cRaw + Jpeg) I shoot everything in cRaw only but have a MR setting to utilise DRO Advanced - cRaw + Jpeg, ISO 200 (remember that DRO advanced effectively locally amplifies the pixels, so if you start at say ISO 800 certain pixels could be amplified to ISO 6400!
I can then import both the cRaw and the Jpeg.
Hope this makes sense.

1.1 performance question

In the read me file I found this:
Lightroom may experience decreased performance when the preference to Update XMP Automatically is turned on in the preferences.
But when I look in preferences I don't see an option to change this.
For me 1.1 is alot slower when loading a pic in the develop module so I'm thinking if I turn this off it might speed thigs up a little.
Any thoughts on if I should turn this off and if so where do I go to turn it off?
Thanks,
Eric

File - catalog settings - metadata tab - automatically write changes into XMP.
I'd guess this won't help much. Develop may be a bit slower than before because of the vastly improved sharpening - a welcome trade-off for me.

Lightroom Won't Start!!!

I downloaded and installed lightroom 1.0 on my laptop. Works great. However, when installed on my desktop, it won't start at all. I've searched this forum and don't see anything so I'm looking for suggestion.
My system is a intel e6600 with 2gb ram. I'm running a raid 0 for my OS and wondering if this is the problem. I know cs2 had problems with holding activation setting in a raid 0 environment but I can't even get to a splash screen to enter my license number.
Thanks in advance for any help . . .

Look, I appreciate the help (sarcastic or not) but reading the compatibility issues, I don't read anything here that helps me to get Lightroom to start. When I double click on an icon or the application file, nothing happens.
Windows Vista Compatibility.
Windows Vista is a brand new operating system from Microsoft and has not been available in its final form long enough for Adobe to fully certify Lightroom for use on Vista. Adobe is working hard to finalize support or Vista as quickly as possible and will deliver appropriate software updates over the launch period.
Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until final testing is completed.
Known issues for using Lightroom 1.0 on the Vista operating system are listed below:
1.
Lightroom CD and DVD burning tools will not currently function
2.
Importing files directly from a Camera or Card Reader may not function properly. Please copy files to a local hard drive via the operating system before importing the files into Lightroom.
Working with Lightroom 1.0 and Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw
Lightroom and Photoshop Camera Raw share the same image processing technology to ensure consistent and compatible results across applications that support raw processing. These applications include:
Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 4.0, Photoshop Elements 5.0 and Premiere Elements 3.0.
Photoshop Camera Raw 3.7
Adobe applications must be updated with the Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in in order to ensure compatibility with Lightroom 1.0 develop module settings. Photoshop CS2 users can update the Camera Raw plug-in automatically using the Update tool listed under the Help menu. The Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in can also be downloaded and installed manually by visiting the Adobe web site: www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
Please follow the installation instructions carefully.
Sharing Lightroom Settings with Camera Raw 3.7
By default, Lightrooms develop module settings are stored in Lightrooms database. In order to ensure that Lightroom develop settings can be viewed by Camera Raw 3.7 the settings must be written to the XMP metadata block for that file. This metadata is stored in an XMP sidecar file (Imagename.xmp) in the current image directory of proprietary raw files or stored directly within DNG files. To update images with the latest develop settings, choose the library module and select the group of target images. Choose the Export XMP Metadata to File option in the Metadata:XMP file menu.
Note: This menu option is only available in the Lightroom Library.
Viewing Lightroom settings in Camera Raw 3.7
Before working in conjunction with Lightroom and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files. By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in Lightrooms develop module.
However, at this time Camera Raw 3.7 is unable to support further adjustments to the following settings or tools:
1.
Recovery
2.
Fill Light
3.
Vibrance
4.
HSL
5.
Grayscale
6.
Red Eye Reduction
7.
Clone/Heal
The controls currently available in Camera Raw 3.7 will continue to function normally and provide incremental edits beyond those performed in Lightroom.
The Lightroom adjustments that are not available in Camera Raw 3.7 can be cleared by choosing the Clear Imported Settings option in the Camera Raw settings menu.
Viewing Camera Raw settings in Lightroom
Raw files edited by previous versions of Camera Raw files will maintain their previous appearance when imported into Lightroom. Note: Those files must have been edited with the preference set to Save image settings in: Sidecar .xmp files in order for Lightroom to respect the previous edit. Files edited in Camera Raw after importation into Lightroom can be updated in Lightroom by choosing the Import XMP Metadata from File from the Metadata:XMP file menu.
Note: This menu option is only available in the Lightroom Library.
Additional Notes on Camera Raw and Lightroom:
1.
Camera Raw will only read the current settings for the primary image in the Lightroom Library.
2.
Virtual Copy adjustments and Snapshot adjustments will not be displayed or available in Camera Raw 3.7
3.
Camera Raw 3.7 continues to provide support for only raw file formats.
4.
Lightroom is able to perform non-destructive editing on JPEG, TIFF and PSD file formats.
Flash Card Downloading and Vista
If you are using Vista.
Right click on the " Lightroom Icon" find your way to the compatibility Tab and click on run as WinXP Service Pack 2.
This seems to allow you to import in any format i.e. Raw or DNG.
NAS units and Network drives
NAS units are a high priority with the Lightroom team further information will be provided at a later date.
At present Lightroom does not directly support network drives.
Unconfirmed at present - NVidia's NView Desktop Manager may cause problems with Lightroom.
Workaround - If you have this manager (and are having problems) please disable the NVidia's NView Desktop Manager on your computer.
The option to change NView should be found by going to control panel and opening the NVidia NView icon.
Lightroom does not recognize Photoshop CS2 - Windows
Perform this at your own risk.
Here's how to fix it:
1) Run regedit.exe from start menu->run
2) Look for this folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\photoshop.exe
In that folder, there should be a key "Path" and its value should be the folder where Photoshop CS2 (or any other Photoshop version) is installed."
If your registry does not have that folder, created it and add a "Path" key with the value being the path to Photoshop CS2:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\
You cannot create a library in a Windows Compressed Folder
And it certainly is a good thing. You don't want to suffer the decrease in speed if you install a database into a compressed folder.

How can I get my stand alone Lightroom 5 to work in the Develop function? It's disabled

My Lightroom 5.6 is stand alone. I once subscribed to creative cloud, but I cancelled it because it was too complicated to use. Now, somehow the develop module of my stand alone 5.6 lightroom is disabled.It says please renew your to reactivate your membership. My software is stand alone, and I don't want to reactive creative cloud. I want to get rid of it. How do I do this?

You get the develop module to function properly by installing the standalone installation of Lightroom. If the develop module is disabled you still have the creative cloud installation. It will have to be removed. You can download from here:
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Performing this uninstall/reinstall will have no impact on your images or the work you have done in Lightroom. The catalog and your images are left intact.
