LR import 2 card readers at the same time

It would speed up my workflow significantly if i could import from 2 card readers at the same time in LR, and import as DNG.  As it stands now when I am really pressed for time I use the dng converter as an importer  then import in place in LR. I would like to see one program in my workflow not 2 or some times 3.

8 GB of ram is enough but If when I replace my mac pro next month I am going to put in 32 GB of  ram.
The whole point is to speed up the work flow.  I have to create great images in very short amount  of time every day. Today I had 1500 images and I had less than one hour to get the images out and I did not have the time to convert to DNG on import.  Coverting to DNG on import slows the process down. So does importing from one card at a time.  I have to go back and replace the CR2 files with DNGs on the server tomorrow.  Like Seth Resnick says “workflow not slow flow”.

  • Importing from multiple Card readers at the same time...

    In Photo Mecahnics I can import multiple cards at one time. Is this possible with LR? If yes, then I will switch 100% to LR.
    Thanks,

    Your System my get bogged down?? but you probably can start multiple downloads consecutively. I know you can do consecutive Exports with different presests. Haven't actually heard of anyone doing what you ask.
    I asume you are talking either more than one camera or multiple readers.
    I also don't know how this would effect metadata, if at all.
    Give it a try on a Test Catologue and report back hear. I am sure others might like to know if you are successful.

  • Can two PCI-e eSATA cards work at the same time?

    Hello,
    I've been using a cheap, 2 ports sil3132 eSATA card for the past 8 months or so. I just bought a second one as I needed more ports, but the two cards are not working well together.
    First: is there a solution?
    Second: would an eSATA from another maker work better?
    Thanks

    Maybe they share the same driver and chipset and cause an issue?
    I have 2 port Sonnet Tempo E2P and E4P but they are different chipset and drivers.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TSATAIIE4P/
    Yes you can. FirmTek 4-port is excellent and Newertech has SATA III 2-port (and no driver needed).

  • Help - Need Line in and Aux inputs active at the same time..... Audigy SE

    The company I work for purchased 3,000 of the Audigy SE? SB0570 sound cards to replace our aging original SB6 PCI cards used in our call centers. The application and Hardware require that the AUX connector and the Line in connector are both acti've at the same time in order for things to work properly.
    Problem is that when I go into the mixer settings (or windows volume controls) when I select one of the inputs to go acti've, it mutes the other two inputs (mic, line-in, or AUX). Does anyone know of a work around to let me activate the AUX and/or Line-in/Mic at the same time??
    Our workstations run Windows 2000? (but as a test, I?loaded up another PC with XP SP2 and it exibits the same problems)
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    We are using the internal AUX in connector to take audio from a vendors custom card, and at the same time we have to take audio in on the flexi-jack input on the rear of the card. The original SB PCI cards we have been using for 5 years allowed us to do this, but these new ones do not. I wrote an e-mail to Creative Tech support and here is their response: Basically it is a no go, so I am now looking at other manufactures that can support our requirements. Good news is that I contacted our supplier today and they are willing to take back all of the cards that are still sealed in their original packaging... about 2,800 of them.

  • Importing more than one Memory Card at the same time

    As a productivity tool for professionnals, Lightroom should allow us to import from more than one source at the same time, as Aperture do.  I have a multiple Flash Card reader, and we cannot import all of them at the same time in Lightroom...
    I know that I can copy them in a folder, then importing them in LR...  But this is time and space consuming  if I want to convert the file in DNG : it's okay if photography is a hobby for you, but when it's your full time job, and  you often import 4 16Gb Compact Flash Cards at the same time, you don't want to waste time to wait the copying process on your hard disk, and then   wait for the "import  and convert to DNG" process : this process require to duplicate the files : RAW to DNG on the same hard disk, instead of Direct copy and convert to DNG from your memory cards to your Hard Disk.

    You can have multiple remotes for one ATV, and one remote for multiple ATVs.
    In our house we have two iPhones and one iPod iPod Touch, all able to control the same ATV at the same time (much to the delight of my daughter who enjoys ousting my music choices for her own).
    Why have iPod touch in each room? Its not a wired remote - its a mobile device. Think of a landline vs mobile telephone - landlines are one per room, mobiles are one per person - that's how an iPod is used, even as a remote - you take it with you.
    Just like a mobile phone, you'd have one personalised iPod Touch or iPhone per person, not per ATV or room.

  • I was backing up my iPhone and importing photos onto iPhoto at the same time , then suddenly it says no more space available (i had 48GB before i do this and now i have 18GB) i can't find the back up or the photo anywhere , how can i delete them ?

    i was backing up my iPhone and importing photos onto iPhoto at the same time , then suddenly it says no more space available (i had 48GB before i do this and now i have 18GB) i can't find the back up or the photo anywhere , how can i delete them ? i dont need the pictures or the back ups , i want to delete them but they are not there

    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • How can I use OnBoard+Aditional audio cards at the same time? !!! BIOS PROBLEM !!!

    I want use both audio cards. The On-board audio + SoundBlaster Audigy. Because I have mp3 player mp3tunes ( from http://www.mp3tunes.nl ) that is able play on both audiocards at the same time. It is good for DJ. One audiocard is for pre-listen.
     But in BIOS is possible set only disable or auto-detect.   When I set autodetect, then OnBoard audiocard is automaticaly disabled if there is another audiocard.  Please tell me, what can I do for enable both audiocards ?

    It's been awhile but as I promised here is my update:
    I purchased an E-MU 1820m Pro Audio interface several months ago and ran it in my system for some time with the onboard audio disabled. Since this audio system is mainly for mid/high end audio production making use of low latency and up to 192mhz sample rates & 20/18 i/o then it is a bit of an overkill for using it for general multimedia & games so I thought I would place my c-media pci card back in and enable the onboard setting & see if the two systems would run ok together.
    I first made sure that I uninstalled the e-mu card & then put the onboard card back in & installed the drivers. I then installed the E-MU, making sure that it wasn't sharing an IRQ with my 9600 pro like it originaly did on the first slot. So after installing that and the IRQ's were looking good I tested it all out and the results after two weeks have been perfect. I use the C-Media audio with the WDM drivers and use it for general audio & multimedia while I use the E-MU card with the E-MU ASIO 2 drivers and I use this with my audio production programs like Sonar, FL Studio & native Instruments Battery & Traktor.
    Conclusion: Yes you can run a pro audio system as well as the onboard sound card with the MSI 865 Neo2 FIS2R.

  • Is there a way to order more than one type of card at the same time from iPhoto?

    I would like to order a number of personalized cards from iPhoto, but I don't see a way of ordering them at the same time. It looks like they will all have to be separate orders. Is this the case or am I missing something? Otherwise, I pay more for shipping than I am for the card...in which case, I will just look elsewhere.
    Thanks,
    Denise

    No - except for photo prints you can only order identical items as a single order - different designs or products must be different orders

  • Import PST files for multiple users at the same time?

    While importing PST files into archive mailboxes, the Exchange 2010 mailbox server went to 100% CPU and memory usage and I could not stop the imports because the EMS stopped responding.  We had to restart the whole server to get back to normal.
    Not sure if importing PSTs was the cause of it it was a coincidence.  We have done imports the same way before without this issue.
    How many PST imports can be done at the same time and how do we queue up multiple users and have the mailbox imports have unique names for each user?  I noticed they are always called MailboxImport and MailboxImport1 and then it starts over as MailboxImport
    again for additional users. So, if more than one user's PSTs are being imported at the same time, we will have multiple identically named imports running.
    We would like multiple users' PST imports to queue up and start automatically when the previous users' imports complete.

    Please try like this. Rename folder name same as alias.  i.e. \\server\share\<alias>. below are examples.
    "\\server\share\jsmith"
    "\\server\share\tjones"
    "\\server\share\rsmith"
    "\\server\share\bspears"
    "\\server\share\mmouse"
    And run below command to take PST from the corresponding
    foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox $i -FilePath "\\Server\share\$($i.Alias)\$($i.Alias).pst" -baditemlimit 50 -acceptlargedataloss ;while ((Get-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox $i | ? {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"})) { sleep 180 } }
    If a folder missing with the alias you will see an error similar to this.I think this will work for you. You just keep only the required PST folders to import in the "\\Server\share" folder. 
    "Unable to open PST file '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.
    Error details: Could
     not find a part of the path '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.

  • My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

    Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
    The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
    In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
    I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
    But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
    Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
    please help, thx.
    Michael

    If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
    Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
    Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    Another option:
    Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
    --> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
    = You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

    How can I verify credit for an itunes card that has already been redeemed?  My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

    Have you checked the account's purchase history to see if anything could have used up the balance : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support ?
    If there aren't any purchases then try logging out and back into the account (e.g. on your iPad tap on your id in Settings > Stores and then log back in) and see if a balance then shows on it. My account's balance shows at the top right of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, by clicking on my name towards the top right of the iTunes screen, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iPad devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)
