Lightroom 6 upload for laptop??

good morning.….
I Just upgraded my Lightroom 5.7 to version 6. All is well on my desktop. So I just purchased a laptop to travel with but am having trouble getting Lightroom to load on it?? I have tried to install Lightroom 5.7 on laptop only to try open and upgrade to 6 ...and it says catalog can't open because running on newer version. How am I going to get lightroom 6 installed. I do not use creative Cloud.

copy the lr 6 installation file (eg, using a usb stick) to your laptop.
when you start installation you'll be prompted for your lr 6 serial number:
if lr 5 is installed on your laptop, you're done except for following the prompts.
if lr 5 is not installed on your laptop, you will then be prompted for your lr 5 serial number. enter the correct number at the correct time and you're done except for following the prompts.

Best Practice(s) for Laptop in Field, Server at Home? (Lightroom 3.3)

Hi all!
I just downloaded the 30-day evaluation of Lightroom, now trying to get up to speed. My first task is to get a handle on where the files (photos, catalogs, etc.) should go, and how to manage archiving and backups.
I found a three-year-old thread titled "Best Practice for Laptop in Field, Server at Home" and that describes my situation, but since that thread is three years old, I thought I should ask again for Lightroom 3.3.
I tend to travel with my laptop, and I'd like to be able to import and adjust photos on the road. But when I get back home, I'd like to be able to move selected photos (or potentially all of them, including whatever adjustments I've made) over to the server on my home network.
I gather I can't keep a catalog on the server, so I gather I'll need two Lightroom catalogs on the laptop: one for pictures that I import to the laptop, and another for pictures on the home server -- is that right so far?
If so, what's the best procedure for moving some/all photos from the "on the laptop catalog" to the "on the server catalog" -- obviously, such that I maintain adjustments?
Thanks kindly! -Scott

Hi TurnstyleNYC,
Yes, I think we have the same set-up.
I only need 1 LR-catalog, and that is on the laptop.
It points to the images wherever they are stored: initially on the laptop, later on I move some of them (once I am am fairly done with developing) within LR per drag&drop onto the network storage. Then the catalog on the laptop always knows they are there.
I can still continue to work on the images on the network storage (slightly slower than on laptop's hard drive) if I still wish to.
While travelling, I can also work on metadata / keywording, although without access to my home network the images themselves are offline for develop work.
2 separate catalogs would be very inconvenient, as I would always have to remember if I have some images already moved. No collections would be possible of images including some on the laptop, some on the network.
Remember: a LR catalog is just a database with entries about images and the pointer to their storage location.
You can open only 1 DB of this sort at a time.
There is no technical reason for limiting a LR-catalog - I have read of people with several hundert thousand images within one.
The only really ever growing part on my laptop with this setup is the previews folder "<catalog name> Previews.lrdata". I render standard previews so that I can do most of the work for offline-images while travelling.
The catalog itsself "<catalog name>.lrcat" grows much slower. It is now 630 MB for 60'000+ images, whereas previews folder is 64 GB.
So yes, I dedicate quite a junk of my laptop hard disk to that. I could define "standard"-previews somewhat smaller, fitting to the laptop's screen resolution, but then when working at home with a bigger external monitor LR would load all the time for the delta size, which is why I have defined standard-preview-size for my external monitor. It may turn out to be the weakness of my setup long-term.
That is all what is needed in terms of Lightroom setup.
What you need additionally to cover potential failure of drives is no matter of LR, but *usual common backup sense* along the question "what can be recreated after failure, if so by what effort?" Therefore I do not backup the previews, but very thoroughly the images themselves as well as the catalog/catalog backups, and for convenience my LR presets.
Message was edited by: Cornelia-I: sorry, initially I had written "1:1-previews", but "standard previews" is correct.

I am unable to activate a Lightroom 5 on my laptop with the serieal number I have used for my desktop license. How do I resolve this?

How do I activate a version of Lightroom 5 on my laptop using the same serial number for the version running on my desktop machine?

Do they both have the same operating system, and what error message do you receive?

Strategies for Laptop & Desktop use?

How do you guys who have both a desktop and laptop plan on organizing your work?
In B4.1 I had a main library on my desktop pointing to everything and a slim library on my laptop. When in the field I would upload photos from the cards into the slim library on the laptop and do some editing & tagging. When I got back to home base, I would create a 'binder' of the photos I had imported into the laptop and then load that binder into the main library on the desktop.
Now in 1.0 and with binders now gone, I have a few questions:
1) I assume that we're supposed to move the physical photo files/directories to the new home and then 'import' those into the main library. Is this the approach others are using?
2) I shoot in RAW and convert to DNG when I import. After some experimentation I discovered that I need to turn on the 'Automatically write changes into XMP' in the preferences in order to carry the edits I've made in one lightroom library to another lightroom library. If I'm using DNG this doesn't necessarily mean that a seperate XMP sidecar file will be written but rather that the lightroom-specific data will be embedded within the DNS file, correct?
3) I also import some jpeg files. Will edits I make to those files also carry-over from one lightroom library to another lightroom library assuming that I have the 'Automatically write changes into XMP' preference set?
4) Is it a 'bad idea' to use multiple libraries? I've got over 30,000 photos and in B4.1 I had one library that was the 'archive' library which contained everything up until about a quarter ago. A second smaller library was used for day-to-day work. This approach seemed to work best because I noticed very poor performance when using the large library. Some initial tests in 1.0 suggest the same issue with a large library. Therefore I'm thinking of taking the same approach in 1.0 with a large 'archive' library and a smaller day-to-day library.
5) If for some reason I decide to relocate where the photos live (i.e. right now then are in a directory called 'Photographs'. Let's say that I want to move them all into a different directory. Obviously clicking on every single photos to point to the new location is out of the question. Is the best remedy for this situation to 're-import' all of the photos?
Thanks,
Jeff

I'm curious what people do in a situation with both a laptop and desktop. Do they have one Lightroom library on the laptop and another on the desktop - and then move files from one to another?
It sounds like Christopher's approach with an external HD is a good idea if you're willing to take the HD along with you when away.
So I'm thinking that the most appropriate thing to do in a situation with both a laptop and desktop is to have a separate library on each, and not one library that you keep synchronized between the two?
I'd love to see how others plan on using Lightroom in this type of setup with both a laptop for out in the field and a desktop at home base.

Upgrade question for laptop to run PPro CS6/CC

All,
I've spent the last several days reading, researching and generally getting up to speed on what my options are re hardware moving forward, and though I've been a lurker/user of these forums (and others) for years, this is my first time engaging directly now that I feel I know a bit more. I must also say how incredible a resource the regular users like Harm Millard have been to self-taught but enthusiastic newbies like me - thank you!
I've been a longtime self-taught, relatively light but still barely pro Premiere Pro user for the past ten years. For the past couple of years, I've been barely getting by using CS4 on my once-top-of-the-line Dell Precision M6500 laptop running Win7 Pro 32-bit. The M6500 is by far my favorite PC I've ever owned and is still rocking, even with older specs (listed below), but it is time to grow up, bite the bullet and (hopefully) upgrade this machine so that I can take advantage of CS6/CC and do a bit more heavy lifting (basic color correction, light After Effects, etc).
I currently shoot on a Sony AX2000 in AVCHD, but am starting to do more work on my Canon t3i and am close to moving up to a Canon 5D mk3, so will be using more HD MOV files in the near future, possibly alongside the old AVCHD footage. Most of my exports are for HD web uploads, but also occasionally export to DVD. I do not anticipate stepping up to Red footage or the like in the near or mid future.
My current laptop specs are as follows:
Win7 32-bit
4GB RAM
Intel i7 quad core M620 (2.67GHz)
500GB 7200rpm HDD
Nvidia Quadro FX 2800M
I've already ordered a RAM upgrade to get me to 16GB, have Win7 64-bit ready to install, and just bought 2 x 750GB 7200rpm HDD (Western Digital). Instead of investing in an all new machine (laptop or desktop), and considering the amazing stability and longevity (so far) of the M6500, I'd like to try and see if I can get this machine to a place where I can take advantage of CS6/CC and have it run stably and somewhat fast. I realize it's not the best option, and that getting an all-new tricked out desktop is the preferred option, but for budget reasons, that's not possible right now.
Here's my plan:
Upgrade so that system will be:
Win7 64bit
16 GB RAM
2 x 750GB 7200rpm HDDs (internal)
rest of the system listed above would remain the same as above - namely CPU and graphics card
The machine can also support a mSATA mini SSD (up to 256GB), but I haven't splurged for that yet. I'm trying to figure out whether to use the two new HDDs in RAID 0 and have the OS, project files, cache, source footage and export files all on those two RAIDed drives, or whether it would make a truly huge difference to add another internal SSD as the boot/OS/Program Files drive and leave the RAID 0 configuration to handle all video and project files. I've read enough to assume that adding the SSD is the preferred option, but it's pricey, and what I'm trying to determine is whether or not it's really worth the cost vs a straight 2-HDD RAID 0 configuration.
I've read a lot about the dangers of RAID 0, but am not too concerned about failures since I use an online backup system (Sugarsync) for all my document files (this machine doubles as my main work PC) and I regularly back up all source and exported video files.
On a separate note, I realize that my graphics card is not listed among the supported cards for CS6/CC - is that going to cause stability and/or significant performance issues, or will it work since I won't be doing 4k/Red files? Is the CUDA hack an option for me? I have the option of upgrading the card to a supported card (Nividia M5000), but it's hugely pricey (close to $2k) and unless it will make the machine an absolute stud for years to come, it's not worth it.
So in short (yeah right ), here are my questions:
Does my proposed new system have the juice to handle what I want to do?
Which HDD setup is preferred, and by what degree (do I absolutely have to get the SSD to make this work?):
2 x 750GB 7200rpm HDDs in RAID 0 for the entire machine
1 x SSD (what size is minimum recommended?) as boot/OS plus 2x750GB HDDs in RAID 0
Will my existing Quadro 2800M graphics card make the other RAM/HDD upgrades a waste of money?
Is my existing CPU powerful enough to warrant these other upgrades?
Sorry for the long post, and thanks for any help you guys can provide!
Van

Van,
Tough love - I'm going to give you my honest opinion here, but it does make me feel bad since you seem to have already ordered parts before you posted.
1. In a word no. Your processor is dual core. You really want at least quad core + hyperthreading for the media that you will be pushing around. The Quadro 2800M only has 96 CUDA cores and DDR3 (slow) memory. BTW, task manager shows 4 "cores" when you have a dual-core + hyperthreading.
2. I'd choose 2. - much nicer - worth the cost
3. yes
4. no
So what to do if you cut bait on your current plan and get a new laptop. Check out recent (< 6 mths old) threads here for lots of discussion at various price points. Gamers laptops and Sager/Clevo models definitely offer the best bang for the buck for laptops to run Premiere, mostly due to the GTX video line trouncing the Quadro line for performance for the price. I loved the Dell M6500 in its time. If you want to replace it with something current day the M6700 is good, but I like what HP is doing for the 17" workstation class even better in 2013. If you can buy a few months, I suspect the new smaller die size 22nm Intel cpus will be really help for laptop performance (desktops have just about all the cpu cooling capacity required, but in laptops cooling through tiny tiny coolers and tiny, tiny, quiet fans is way limited - so, the new lower wattage, cooler 22nm cpus should be much larger boost for laptop users than workstations).
I suspect that I would really enjoy editing on a well thought out $1500 Asus, even better on a $2200 Sager, and would have similar performance with the support of HP or Dell at closer to a $3000 price point for the media you mention above. ADK sells Sager/Clevo laptops and has much better support for video (and audio) editors than HP or Dell ever dreamed to provide; prices would be a bit more than www Sager dealers but ADK is a no-brainer if you want "real" support and a machine that is tweaked for Adobe.

Jim

How do I download Lightroom on a new laptop?

I had gotten Lightroom as a birthday present a couple of years ago. The computer that I had it on crashed and I'm wondering if there is a way to download it on my new laptop. I do not have the serial number and didn't think to register it. My old laptop is not useable so all of my data is lost. I tried talking to a support team person, they said they were going to send a link and then told me that the link for Lightroom 4 is not available. Is there any way to get Lightroom on my new laptop without having to rebuy it?

If you have no proof of purchase and no record for the serial number then there is not much you can expect.
Here is a link to a page with downloads for most versions, though they are likely not going to be much use to you with the serial number.

Just updated to Lightroom CC but I still have Lightroom 5 on my laptop. I thought that CC would replace 5? Why do I need both taking up space on my laptop?

Just updated to Lightroom CC but I still see Lightroom 5 on my laptop? I thought CC would replace 5?

Newer versions of Adobe software rarely overwrite older versions. They usually install side by side.
Sometimes plugins for older versions don't work on newer versions and people often want to be able to choose when they uninstall the older version.
If you're not using Lightroom 5, feel free to uninstall it.

Editing In Lightroom and Uploading with Picasa?

I have about 10 years of photos organized with Picasa, but I recently bought a D90 moved over to RAW capture and processing. I just got Lightroom, and so far I love it. However, if I do cropping or exposure stuff in Lightroom, and then open the folder in Picasa for uploading, I only see the original, unprocessed images. Is there anyway to make Picasa "see" the edits from Lightroom?
I know there's a plugin for Lightroom to upload to Picasa Online directly, but for now I'd like to keep the ability to at least view and organize photos with Picasa.
Thanks!
John Huntington

Thanks for the response.
Picasa actually works just fine with both DNG and Nikon Raw files, and when you upload from Picasa, it just automatically creates JPG's. It's very convenient, but I prefer the editing tools in Lightroom.
The only solution I see now is to do as you say, but then I end up with two sets of photos which is a pain.

Lightroom 3 on a laptop as well as on my iMac and presets are not editing my photos the same.

HELP! I have Lightroom 3 on a laptop as well as on my iMac. I have imported all the same presets to my laptop and yet the photos are not at all the same as my iMac. None of the presets take the same to the exact same files between my laptop and my iMac. Even the Lightroom presets that came in with the program. The histogram is completely different on each of the photos and presets, but the settings and numbers along the right side ( exposure, black, fill light etc..) are matching. This has nothing to do with the screen. I have compared both the files on one computer. I need to figure this out! Please help.

It's obviously an upgrade. It should ask you for a second serial from a previous product. Try again and make sure to input the right serials at the right point.

Lightroom 5 upload, access, and downloading???

If I want to add Revek=l as "Publish Service " option from Lightroom 5 can I do that and then will I be able to sync collections in a manner similar to how I would link them with the Lightroom App or for that matter Flickr?
What I want to do is share certain collections with certain people. Recently I took photos of my sons graduation and took photos of all the kids. I now want to share these photos by uploading them to Revel and then sending each parent a link that will lead them to these files. That said, I want to only give them permission to view these photos and not the rest of the other collections. Additionally, will they be able to easily download photos from this photo gallery once they pick the photos they want? I don't want to waste too much time setting this up if it's not going to work. I also took photo's at my sons T-ball games and want to share these photo's ONLY with the families that participated and again, only want them to have access and ability to view and download photos from this collection of T-ball photos. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated

How do I use my late 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output.

May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.

It Says :
Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices.

Questions on MCX Policies for Laptop/Mobile Users:

Questions on MCX Policies for Laptop/Mobile Users:
I have several managed Macs running Leopard. Many of them are MacBook laptops. My main MCX policies involve mapping printers and mounting network volumes at login. These are simple computer and group policies to help make the users life a little easier when it comes to finding and using network resources such as file server volumes and network printers.
Since most of my users are laptops, they are expressing 2 major concerns involving their laptops when they are off the LAN (i.e.; on the road at a cafe, working at home, staying at a hotel or when they have no network at all)
1) When users are off our LAN, the Mac still tries to mount the network volumes in their OD/MCX login items when the user logs in (with cached mobile credentials). Can this be avoided? Windows PCs do not do this. If the PC laptop cant find an AD DC, they simply don't run the login scripts and thus dont try to mount/map network volumes. How can I make the Mac laptops only mount network volumes when they are on the LAN?
2) Most Mac users have a Cisco VPN client, and use it regularly to connect to the company's LAN from home, hotels etc. Of course when they log into the network via VPN, their network volumes are not mounted automatically. Is their a way to re-run the MCX managed login items script once they connect to the VPN and mount (i.e.; "map") their network drives? Sure, users can simple use the "Connect To Server" option in the FInder (or perhaps try and use the god-awful Leopard Finder side bar discovery browser thingy which I hate - never mind), but I need a consistent automated way to mount volumes quickly and easily for my mobile users. There must be a way to run (or re-run) the login items part of my MCX policies.

Ping!
I'm looking for this functionality too. Anyone have a solution to either of these? One that came to mind is to wrap the login items in a script which detects if the LAN is available.

Legacy asset data upload for multiple line items

Hello
Legacy asset data upload for multiple line items- for example Building is an asset which is having different line items for purchasing of land,constructaion or renovation etc.........now to upload the legacy data what should be consider...only one line item for Building or numbers of line item.........
which one is the proper way to do this exercise?
regards

Hi,
It completely depends on clients requirement. but following are few approaches:
1. Define Building as Asset Class.
2. Create a Building at specific location at asset code and
3. create asset sub numbers for other components.
other approach would be:
1. Define Building as Asset Class.
2. Create a Building at specific location at asset code and
3. create further asset codes for other components where field description will be used for relating each other.

Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom as bundle for 12,29 EUR/year

i have used your offer 12,29 EUR/year for Photoshop and Lightroom. Now i have downloaded Photoshop. OK.
But whats the way to get Lightroom?
thanks for any help

It should show Lightroom as available to install in the Creative Cloud app. If not, try exiting the app (the gear icon and choose quit), reboot and try again. For me it didn't show "Install" against Lightroom for a few hours, as I recall.
