LR won't synch same images in different folder

I need to keep multiple copies of the same images in different folders (to track submissions to different agencies) but LR seems very erratic at synching pictures it thinks already exist in the catalogue - some of the duplicates show up, others not, but it seems impossible to get all folders to synch properly. Is there any way around this?

Yes, I remember, David. Glad it's still working.
Assuming the current workflow, I reckon the answer is going to lie in establishing which files are omitted. If filenames don't match any files already in the catalogue, I'd expect all to arrive safely. But if a jpg's name matches an existing file (ignoring the extensions) then there might be a clash. One area is Edit > Preferences > Import where you may want to try ticking Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate. But see if you can establish the pattern of what gets imported and what's not.
A pure Lightroom solution would be not to keep all these files. So you would have the master image (a raw or a worked tif), and then create virtual copies for each of the uses that you want to track - right click a thumbnail and Create Virtual Copy. Each VC has a copy name, which I'd suggest setting (Metadata panel) to the usage, Getty, Alamy etc. When you need to send it to the agency, get the VC and export at the size and format required, send the exported file, but don't keep a real file copy - the VC could suffice. I put this more for you to think over.

  • How to save camera image in different folder (other than Camera Roll) in Ios?

    I am developing an App where I am taking pictures from the Camera but all the pictures get stored in the Gallery. I would like to store all the pictures taken in this app to be stored in a different folder so that when users view the pictures in the app, it should show only the pictures taken using the app. Currently, all the pictures of the Gallery are being displayed which I do not want.
    I want to create a folder, store camera pictures taken using the app in this folder then display all the images of the folder in the app.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Saving the same image with different croppings for printing various sizes

    I've searched for this to no avail.  I tend to always have a few pictures in rotation that I end up cropping multiple times when I am printing.  Pictures  where today I need to print a 4x6 and tomorrow it's a 5x7 of the same picture, etc.  I am trying to figure out a way to save the file with that cropping.  Ideally there would be a way that if I also modified anything else in the image that would also show up in the other versions.  I know there is Create Virtual Copy, and that could work if I could then figure out how to change the file name so it would show that it was cropped for 5x7 or whatever.  Are there any other creative ways I am missing? 

    When you create a Virtual Copy it is given an individual Copy Name (as well as the original file name)....default would be Copy 1, Copy 2, etc. However, that Copy Name is editable in the Metadata Panel, simply click in the name field and you can give it a more descriptive name, e.g "VC Crop 5 x7".

  • Crystallize same image to different cell size automated

    Hi, I am looking to findout if there is a way to automate the process of editing the same photo multipul ways. What I want to do is take one image then apply the pixelate, crystallize feature to an image but I need to to apply every cell size from 3 to 300. I want to automate this process as to do it by hand would be a very long job
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Such a workflow is too advanced to do in Photoshop Elements. While Elements does support some automation, this is automation of applying the same thing to multiple files, it does not allow you to make multiple changes to a single file. This couldn't even be accomplished with Actions, which Elements does have some support for (you can use them, but you cannot create them). To accomplish this, you would need to use Scripting in the full version of Photoshop.

  • Can I print the same image at different sizes on the same page?

    Hi everyone.
    I am trying to print a 5x7" image and 4 wallet sizes of the same photograph on 1 piece of paper. Can apperature do this? I'm just trying to utilize a whole sheet of paper.
    I've been looking at contact sheets to try this but it doesn't seem like it's going to work. I was hoping for a really simple way to do this but I cannot find it.

    I've not found a way to do that. The printing portion of the software is, at this time, somewhat rudimentary.

    Hey Jo,
    did you get this resolved? - I don't see the problems that
    you are

    The only thing I see is that the image which should reside

  • Place video and images in different folder? N73

    Hi All,
    Once I go: gallery/images and video, all images and video will display together. There is no way to create new folder so that I can put, or hide some private images there.
    I've try using PC to do the job, created new folder and place some images in, does't work...
    There is no problem on my previous Nokia phone, can anyone care to share or advise?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, some software designer decided that it would be better for users to see all videos and images in one long list no matter where they are, and then require you to use the "Album" feature to organize them.
    In other words, the Gallery simply ignores different folders and shows everything in a long list.
    There's nothing you can do, except use a different app.
    I can only hope that the behaviour returns to something more sensible in future devices.

  • Same image, different sizes

    I need to export the same image in different formats, for iPhone, iPad, Web etc.
    Actually, I import into one frame and then  - Copy/Paste into/Fill Frame Proportionally - on the other frames.
    Is there a simple way to do this in one shot? I can write a script to do this, but I was wondering if there was some sort of Command I was missing…
    Thank you

    Are yout talking about Alternative Layouts with the same content?
    Use the Content Collector and Placer tools and use the same image or content several times. If you work with object styles (as you should ALWAYS do) you can specify a auto fitting property in that style.
    With Liquid Layout you can specify the behavior of any frame how it resizes if the page gets or has different sizes.

  • What's the point of a virtual copy if it can't be in a different folder from the master?

    When I spotted "Make virtual copy" on the context menu, I thought "Great - I can organize my photos in different ways without wasting disk space by using aliases!"
    But when I tried to move the virtual copy to another folder, LR said Nope!
    So I moved the master - and the copy moved with it.
    What am I missing? I've seen the reference to Smart Collections, but they seem to be based on ratings or flags, not arbitrary subject-matter groupings.
    So I created a "dumb collection" (my term, in distinction from the automatic groupings), made virtual copy and copied the virtual copy to the collection.
    Then I then went back to the original folder and deleted the virtual copy from the original folder.
    It vanished from the collection as well.
    Is a virtual copy merely a way to make and save an alternative edit of a photo - but only in the same folder as the original?

    A virtual copy is virtual. It is a record of the processing settings you made held in the database. LR never makes changes to the original files and does not create copies of original files (except on import if you so choose). A new file is created on export with the processing settings recorded in the database. The folder structure is irrelevant to LR other than LR needs to know where the file is on your computer.A virtual copy does not make an actual copy anywhere on your hard drive. It takes up no space as it is just a few lines of metadata recorded in the catalog. Hence virtual copy.
    The point is that you may require several different versions of the same image file, different crops, different processing settings etc. These can all be recorded in the catalog and when you require the particular version you export it. On export it can be sent anywhere you like.
    I would suggest you have a look at the LR manual through the help system (press F1 when LR is open) and have a look at some of the video tutorials in order to understand the basics of LR

  • How can I make different catalogs from the same image

    How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

    Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
    Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
    The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
    After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
    IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
    IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
    1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
    2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
    Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

  • Confused about synching multiple phones to the same computer with different content: itunes wants to erase everything??

    I have had an i5 for some time, but my partner just bought one to replace her 3GS. We both synch to my itunes, and have been doing so for as long as I can recall. When we got her i5, we backed up her 3GS and reloaded the content into her i5. So far so good. Now, this couple of weeks later, I decided I wanted to put some of the movies, music, etc. that I have on my itunes library on her phone. I had previous installed some of the apps that I have there without trouble. However, when I tell my itunes to put movies (etc) onto her phone, it warns me (upon apply) that this phone has been sync'ed to another itunes, and that I can do what I am asking, but it will erase everything on the phone now! I cancelled this op at this point.
    As far as I know neither of us has sync'ed her phone to any other itunes, although she has probably downloaded stuff directly into the phone using the onboard itunes. Is that what it's warning me about? Is there any way to either pull the content off the phone, or merge the content with what she had locally downloaded? If not, I'm willing to sacrifice the few things that she had locally loaded as long as it's not going to, for example, erase all her photos, and contacts, and everything else as well at the same time!
    This is all rather confusing to me. It's actually rather confusing that one can synch multiple devices with different settings at all, and I'm extremely surprised that it works at all. Can someone clarify what's going on here? What I should/shouldn't do? What I can/can't do?
    Thanks in advance!

    First make sure you have authorised the iTunes computer you are using for all of the associated apple ID's via the Store Menu>Authorise this computer and enter the apple ID and password used on the phone (repeat for as many apple ID's are in use on the phone).
    Then right-click (or Control Click) on the name of the phone and select Transfer Purchases (this can also be found under File>Device>Transfer purchases). This will back up all of the purchases on the device to your computer, then when you sync with the phone it will put them back on even though it has just removed them.
    Its a round about way of doing it but she shouldn't loose anything as long as the computer is authorised for all of the apple ID's used on the phone

  • How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height

    How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height?
    I wish to make a slider callery for my website. all the images need to be 750 Pixels high, the width does not matter.  I have a mixture of square pandscap and protraite images can i do thing as one export or do i have to do it twice?  Once for long edge and once for shot edge?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can but there is a trick to it.
    In the Export Dialog under <Image Sizing> select Widdth & Height.
    Then enter 750 pixels for Height.
    Put your cursor into the Width field behind all the numbers that appear there and with the backspace key delete the numbers. If you enter "0" it will not accept that. But it accepts when you just delete the field for Width with the backspace key. The Width field will now be just blank.
    When you then export all image will  have a height of 750 pixels and the width will fall variously according to thne height / width ratio.
    Or alternatively you can enter 7.5" for height at a resolution of 100 ppi.

    Thanks

    Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you?  I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
    Or explain whether you want these in a webpage  in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code.  this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.

  • Gray scale photos images are different but should be the same; help?

    I send a gray scale image from Lightroom (Edit with ...) and it opened CS4 photoshop.
    I made a blank document , 11x14".
    I used Windows/arrange/ tile to view the blank and the gray scale image. I tired various methods of bringing the gray scale image to the blank one (move tool, select all and move, copy and paste). Each time, I did this within seconds of each other (I made no changes to fill, opacity, and I used Normal). I brought the image in twice so I could print out the SAME image twice on the larger 11x14 at Sams club in order to use the Epson 7800 printer and not the old wet process on the Fugi machine. One image is darker(lighter) than the other every time. I even tried another image and I got two different exposures.
    I wonder if it it only happens with the grayscale images? Perhaps it is a problem coming from Lightroom 2.5?
    I did a three image 16x20 and I didn't notice the difference - partly because they were three differenct images in color. I will try two color images from the same file tomorrow.
    Any thoughts? I haven't found a possible setting problem that would have been applied between the operations.

    Paulo,
    Thanks. I was ready to believe the monitor idea but I still have some reservations.
    I don't doubt what you said about the pixels (sounds correct to me).
    Why?
    I tried another monitor and the images I attached also look like the top one is darker (vertically).
    Also, the same is true if I scrolled the images. It seems to me that I should see a difference as I slowly scroll the image vertically. I didn't see a difference.
    Read on please.
    At any rate (I long for a CRT - my 21" crapped out last year), I am using  two SAMSUNG screens, the
    one attached to the main computer is the Syncmaster T220 - a well rated
    monitor; as far as I knew , read and had friends who recommended them.
    The other I just tried is attached to the second computer a couple of feet away. It is the syncMaster T240HD. 
    So, if it is an LCD monitor problem, it is with both and the same
    company. I would think I would have read some bad reports about these
    LCDs?
    Also, wouldn't the color images also be different when presented the same way? (they aren't).
    However, I went back to the original T220 LCD display and moved an image in to a blank one as before, then did the control J to copy the layer, and the images we different again. But, I zoomed in more than usual and scrolled the images and they were lighter at the bottom of the screen and darker at the top of the screen!!!!!!
    That is good news and bad news! $$$$$$
    If it is the monitor problem, then both images should print as the same.????
    Secondly, the display (LCD) attached to the machine at Sams showed the same difference between the two images. AND, I recall that the display is also a Samsung (I will check that tomorrow).
    What a bunch of coincidences! I guess I have to search the web for some Samsung answers? and contact the company?
    I want to explore as much on my end as possible.
    Hunt and another suggested the Control-J to avoid the problem by copying the layer. That didn't work either.
    I suppose I could tweak one of the images after bringing them in but I don't know how (I clicked the layer and I wasn't able to do anything - like lighten that image).
    Again, thanks for the help. I think the question maybe answered.
    I will send the screen capture shortly.

  • Images look different with same white balance

    Hey folks,
    Just ran some tests between a Nikon D300 and a Nikon D7000. I pulled both images into Lightroom 3.4 (PC), and matched the white balance using the White Balance Selector tool and a WhiBal card in a test image. And even though they now have the same white balance, the colors are distinctly different. How is this possible? (The same image shot with a D200 looks nearly identical to the D300.) Examples:
    D7000
    D300
    All other specs the same:
    Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 @50mm
    1/80 @ f/5.6, ISO 200
    RAW
    Color space: AdobeRGB
    Picture Control setting: SD (standard)
    Custom white balance from WhiBal card, matched in Lightroom 3.4: 5200, +38
    I need to be able to shoot with multiple bodies and sync them so I don't have to adjust the batches separately.
    Thanks in advance

    WB is not the only factor involved in how colour is created in a digital image. The WB just sets the colour temperature. How the colour is created is effected by many other factors, hence calibration profiles. By calibrating the sensor you can produce a standardised response for a particular individual sensor. You could then carefully match this with a different sensor. However there will always be subtle differences. It would be far easier when requiring a particular shoot to have exactly the same look, to use one camera and one lens to achieve it.
    When making a film,  directors, such as Hitchcock, would insist on not only using the same film stock, from the same batch, but in the case of Vertigo even had the same water source used for all processing to achieve the look he was after.
