Lightroom Import Question

I am running Lightroom 2.0 on a Mac.
I have my 20,000+ photos organized by folders such as "2003-05" for March 2003. I shoot mostly raw with my Canon, but there were times when I shot raw+jpg, and jpg only. I want to import the raw files, of course. However I want to ignore the jpg files when there are corresponding raw files (yet still import the jpg files when there is no corresponding raw files).
My gut feeling is that there is no way for me to set Lightroom to do this. However, I was wondering if anybody here new of a way to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.

In LR preferences/Import set LR to ignore associated Jpeg's on import, not import as separate image. (this is the default, box unchecked, I think). The jpeg's will still be 'noted' by LR.

Lightroom Importing Question

I have been using LR since the demo version and very happy with it. I generally shoot JPEG but on a recent outing I decided to shoot RAW + JPEG on my E510 just out of curiousity.
However, when importing the pictures into LR only the RAW one is shown. Is there anyway to get LR to import and show both the RAW and JPEG files or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Steve

Look at Edit > Preferences > Import, there is a related option.

Aperture to Lightroom Export/Import question

For those who have done the Aperture - Lightroom move (for whatever reason), did you use the built-in Aperture to Lightroom importer that I understand is part of of LR5 or did you use a third-party exporter like Aperture Exporter?
What were your reasons for your choice? My Aperture library is around 68,000 photos, but only around 3,000 show up when I check as "adjusted", so my main concern is trying to maintain some semblance of my folder structure and things like keywords, ratings, etc.
Thanks. Steve

I tried the plug-in (got a trial version of LR5) and after making sure that my entire Aperture Library was referenced, started it - and made sure to tell it to leave the files where they were! To my dismay (1) a lot of photos that I would have expected to be imported came back with errors - even though the ORF Olympus RAW file was a supported camera and more importantly (2) a lot of my photos that were in particular folders, now found themselves in folders based upon the date the photo was either taken or imported into Aperture. Now I read about this - but it is only supposed to happen if you had a managed library and then LR would move the image files into folders based upon dates.
My library had about 68,000 images and after about 6 hours it was up to 30% or so, so I just clicked on DONE to see how it was handling my folder structure.
I am now trying with an application called Aperture Exporter (they have a trial version, but it has limitations on how many photos it will import) and it seems to be handling the export much better. It is keeping my folder structure intact, keeping my metadata (mainly keywords) and any photo that had adjustments in Aperture applied it gives you the option of exporting the original RAW/JPEG file along with a copy of the adjusted one - either as a JPEG or TIFF. Only "issue" would be that you have to have enough hard drive space to duplicate - at least initially - your entire photo library. Don't see an issue to do the export one folder or project at a time (at least not in the demo version).

Question about lightroom import

I edit a DNG photo in Photoshop CC from lightroom 5. If I save it as a JPG, it does not go back into lightroom. I can not see the photo in lightroom to import it. It shows in Windows explore but not in lightroom import.

If you save, it will go back to LR as a tiff or PSD,depending how you have your preferences set for external editing.
If you save as the saved file will not go back to LR, you will have to synchronize or import depending on here you saved the file.
My preference is to let the tiff go back to LR and stack alongside tthe orgonal raw file. Makes life much simpler when trying to find files.
If I need a jpg for email or other purposes I export one in the size and flavor (Prophoto, AdobeRGB, sRGB, etc) needed for the purpose.

How do I stop Lightroom importing my Photoshop files?

Hi - I have asked this question elsewhere, but perhaps someone here has had a similar experience. In my Lightroom catalogue, I often need to open a raw (dng) file in Photoshop, work on it there and save the result as a jpeg. The jpeg is then sent to a client after which I have no further use for it, so normally I would delete it. However I find that every time I 'save as' in Photoshop, Lightroom imports that file into its database. The only exception is if I choose 'save for web' in Photoshop. I'm told that this behaviour is wrong - that LR shouldn't automatically import these images. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I solve it?
(Mavericks, LR5.3, CS6)
Thanks,
Alex

I don't use Photoshop, but from what I've read, images sent to Photoshop via 'Edit In' should be 'Saved' not 'Save As'. The jpeg should then be exported from Lightroom.
I am sure there are those on the forum with a greater Knowledge in this process.

Lightroom 3 question

I imported a number of images taken from products but need to remove the background, Photoshop does not show in the ''open in other application'' for Editing purposes, do I need to get photoshop or can I still do it with Lightroom 3 or do I need to update my Lightroom to the latest version?? Thanks in advance, Cheers, James.

Hi There, and thanks for the answer! I don't have Photoshop the only thing I have is Light room, can Lightroom do this task or do I have to purchase Photoshop ?? And by the way, if Lightroom can't do that what for to have Lightroom anyway, I would think that Photoshop can do everything that Lightroom can - or am I missing something?
Cheers,
Andy

If you already had photoshop, when you installed lightroom, it should have found photoshop for you. Is it possible the psd file association is not set for photoshop? That can happen if you uninstall a previous version of photoshop with a newer version still on your system.
Check the file association in both the OS's file browser (explorer or finder) and in bridge.
Failing all of that, lightroom should have a third option that will allow you to browse to a image editor of your choice.

Lightroom imports with 100 clarity

Hello people,
i have the strange problem that lightroom imports always with 100 clarity. There is definitely something wrong with my presets, just don't know how to change that. Thanks for any suggestions, tobfl

If you apply a preset during the import process, that preset will be applied to all images that are imported. Another way to apply a preset to all images would be to have multiple images highlighted in the develop module and have auto-sync enabled.
The first thing I would suggest that you try is to reset the clarity on one of those newly imported images, changing nothing else. Then, save new camera defaults. Then I would check in your import dialog to make sure you haven't chosen a preset to be applied during the import process. Next, take a test image and import it.

How to import questions into Captivate 4 from a delimited file

I'm looking
a way to import questions from a delimited text file (or excel spreadsheet)
into captivate.
All the questions are simple multiple choice, single answer, four selections per question.
I have hundreds - I'd hate to have to retype them all in one at a time.
Thanks in advance
-Joan

Does anyone know if this is a feature in Captivate 5.
Other things I would really like to see in Captivate 5.
Importing and Exporting the graded quiz/test content out of captivate into another
application/ form. Such as xml, tab delimited, excel spreadsheet,
Adobe pdf, Word document or another format. Our current content
developement systems allows us to (when publishing) do this.
1> exclude questions from the Published content
(exclude section questions, or final test content)
2> produce different test versions from question banks
3> Produce a PDF paper test for when we want to train in a classroom setting
4> Select which questions we want to produce
5> Import questions from a pre-defined format. To note: when we do this the system also makes us define a unique interaction id so that the import will update existing questions.
I know this will NOT work for some of the more sophisticated questions, But for the simple Mulitple choice, true/false, fill in the blank. etc..
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE..
It would also be NICE TO HAVE THE abiliy to PROFILE versions of the SAME Course WITH OUT REPRODUCING / DUPLICATING / REPEATING THE ENTIRE COURSE PRESENTATION.
Such as
"INSTRUCTOR TAUGHT TRAINING"
"WEB TRAINING"
"PAPER TEST A"
"PAPER TEST B"
ETC...
LASTLY: if we can not export the QUIZ content. Can an excel spreadsheet LIKE INTERFACE be used to edit certain aspects of the questions.
Such as the InteractionId which is sent to the LMS ('cmi.interactions.0.id'). My developer team says it is real difficult and time consuming
to track down interactionIds and then maintain them in a perfect way.
Thanks,

MEGA180 Important Questions

I have my MEGA180 on order but I already have some important questions:
1) This unit provides dual vga outputs. If I install my own AGP 8x card, will the VGA2 output still work? I read in the manual that installing an AGP card will disable VGA1 (default) but it doesn't say anything about the 2nd VGA output connector. I require 2 outputs since I will be connecting to an LCD and my HDTV monitor (using a VGA to Component Video Transcoder)
2) Will there be performance hits by using the two vga outputs at the same time?
3) The on-board video card doesn't have any video memory. It will use your existing DDR memory. I will have 512Meg Dual Channel Memory. What kind of performance I can expect from the built-in video card (NVidia NForce Crush18) compared to other AGP cards on the market?
Thanks for your help!
Sly

Though I can not provide you with answers specific to the Mega 180, I can give you some more info.
1) No. As soon as you install an AGP card, the onboard video will be fully disabled from within the BIOS. This is an nForce2 chipset setting. So make sure to get an AGP card with 2xVGA (as most cards have nowadays).
2) No or not much. Using an nForce2 MoBo myself I haven't encountered performance loss using both VGA outputs.
3) There's no way to compare the onboard video to an AGP card. AGP cards will have a far out better perfomance then the onboard video. But compared to other onboard video solutions around, like Xtreme Graphics, the nForce solution is far better and has far better performance.
It all depends on what you will be doing with the MegaPC. If you're a gamer, get an AGP card. If you want to use it as an HTPC, keep with the onboard nForce2 solution. There's no need for extra here since the nForce2 chipset is great. Onboard sound from this chipset is also great. Try it out before spending $ on an AGP card you don't need.
Hope this helped a bit.

E-Recruiting important questions

I'm implementing the E-Recruiting and I have two important questions for this Project:
1 - The business want to capture mobility (willingness to relocate / travel) at the time of position application. Is there a standard field for store this information?
2 - Recruitment would like to be informed about a critical process, in others words, the requisition doesnu2019t compete with other priorities. How can I handle this situation?
Thanks in advance!!!
Sivani

Hi Sivani,
Questionnaire answers are stored in IT5141. They are visible to the Recruiters when viewing the Candidates and can be used in rankings. You can also decide for which positions this questionnaire would be required and which not.
Do not see a standard field to create a priority when creating a Requisition. We added many fields, such as "eligibility for employee referral", so it can be added. However, letting managers set the priorities could be a problem with each manager thinking his/her opening is most important.

Server Specs for a 11.1.1.3 Install Important questions.

I've put together some specifications for a Development Server & Production Server, any comments appreciated. I hope this post acts as a good reference sample for anybody else out there looking to implement a Hyperion Planning.
Client Tier: (2 developers)
Windows
8 GB RAM
Dual Core Processor
Components: EAS client, Smart View, Excel Add-in
Web Tier:
HTTP Web and J2EE Servers:
Windows + (not sure which version would be best here, any ideas appreciated)+
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ, 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32 GB
Components: Foundation: HSS, Workspace, Planning, Web Applications: EAS, Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, Planning,
Services Tier:
Server1:
Windows (2003 SP1, R2)
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ 64 bit
RAM: 16 GB
Disk: 32GB
Components: Essbase Server 64 bit
Server2:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: Reporting & analysis, Financial Reporting Print Services, ODI
Server 3:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: FDM
Database Tier:
4 x 3 GHZ - 8 GB RAM
DISK: 100GB RDBMS
200GB Essbase Storage
The specifications will be similar for the production for abotu 25 - 30 users (10 concurrent), with RAM being a little bumped up.
One important question: I might need guidance on installing 32 bit planning or FDM on the 64 bit server - any known issues with this? Also any known issues with 64 bit Essbase working with 32 bit Planning?
Edited by: EssbaseApprentice on Sep 30, 2010 10:04 AM

obviously its hard to comment on whether it is the perfect spec for your environment, it looks alright to me, it is not under spec.
For the web tier as you are running reporting and analysis and the other machines are windows based personally I would stick with windows 2003.
Is there any reason why you have one machine dedicated just to FDM, seems a bit of an overkill just for one product, it may be worth combining services server 2 with FDM, just a suggestion though

Important Questions to ask when developing in Workflow

Hello All,
I have two questions.
I am not a Workflow developer, but I've been asked to find out information about creating a Workflow process.
Here is what <b>I</b> need to know: What are important questions to ask the end-user when creating a workflow. What needs to be taken into consideration?
Here is an example of the kind of thing we need to do:
Send an email on a weekly basis to different Project Managers a Summary of Project Charges = (maybe CN41?)
Each Project Manager will have different requirements, so I guess one question will be: "What info do you want from this report?". What else do I need to know?
My second question is this: I should be able to output this as an Excel, correct? How much can I customize this? I haven't done much SAP -> Excel work. Only when I go to System -> List -> Save -> Local File ->Spreadsheet.
Thanks for the help.
Don Fields

Hello Don!
WF is quite a complex topic and someone could write a book to answer your questions - actually there is already a good book available -> check: Practical Workflow for SAP
http://www.sap-press.com/product.cfm?account=&product=H950
Looking at your example their might not even be a need for a workflow but rather a job that runs periodically to send the required information via email to project managers.
Workflow is mostly used if user actions are required e.g. confirm, approve, reject a request or notifications need to be sent to someone after an event or user action occured.

Adobe Captivate Help | Import questions from GIFT format files (Cp 7)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/import-questions-gift-format-files.html

Hi there,
Captivate 7 doesn't support tags during GIFT import. So you won’t be able to import Images, links etc. as part of GIFT Import.
Thanks,
