LR5 on creative cloud - best way to share images and catalogs with team members

I want to establish a central image library of product photos. I need team members to be able to see these images. I have a CC account for teams.
Sould I creae a file repository in the Cloud and then create local LR catalogs for each person on their local machines...or can I also create a single catalog, stor it in the cloud and have everyone be able to open it locally?
There is quite a lot of contradictory info on this out there!
Any help or better suggestions, would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Andrew

Lightroom is not designed to be used by multiple users. A Lightroom Catalog can only be in use by a single user at any point in time. When a Lightroom Catalog is opened the program creates a file with the catalog name and with a .lock extension. This file prevents any use of the Catalog file and will automatically be deleted when Lightroom is closed. See the screen capture.
To be specific a "Lightroom License" is a single user license so if there are more than one user, a license would need to be purchased for each user.
In addition the Catalog file cannot be resident on a network it requires a physical connect to the computer.
The actual image files can be on a network so that part should not create a problem.

What is the best way to share images via a gallery?

Hello.
I'd like to know the best way to create a web gallery to send to people so they can view the pictures of their kids playing soccer, and download what they want.
I see that there is a way to export to a web gallery in LR. Is that the best way?
I generally don't use LR, and I've used pass before and really would like to know if Adobe offers something similar.
Thanks!
Jim

You can share a public url to a file or folder using Send Link. More here Creative Cloud Help | Share files and folders.

What's the best way to share footage from FCPX with an Editor still on FCP7?

I have a lot of footage that I've been organizing & logging in FCPX. But soon I'm handing the footage off to an editor that works mainly in FCP7.
Yes, I'm aware of the plugins 7toX and Xto7 that we should have, respectively, to share XML files. That way I can send them xmls for a rough cut.
But first, I want to share the raw footage with them in a way that'll ensure that the plug-ins work, etc.
Any thoughts/recommendations? Greatly appreciated.

I'm sure you know that the same plug-ins that work on FCP7 won't work in X and vice versa. So' Im not sure what you're trying to achieve by first sharing the raw footage.
Depending on the codec, the raw footage may or may not work in both. Or to ut it another way, X may be able to work natively with clips that require transcoding to Pro Res in 7.
At the end of the day, unless you are OK collaborating with flattened files, I imagine the third party XML solutions will be your friend.

What is the Best Way to Re-Image and Re-Install Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro

Hello,
Is there a well documented best practices procedure for re-imaging and re-installing Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro?
Thank you for any assistance.
Tony

Hi Tony;
The only best practices I know for that is backup first. I usually suggest a bootable clone that has been tested so that you are sure it is bootable. Insert DVD and boot from the DVD. Then install Snow Leopard. That's it.

Best way to sync iCal and Contacts with MS Outlook?

There are three people in my firm and we want to have a "cloud" calendar and address book that syncs our laptops and mobile devices. Plaxo Platinum is the closest I can find. However, it does not sync with mobile devices. Thank you! Steve

iTunes serves as the sync conduit for contact information, calendar events, bookmarks, and for photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
iTunes is required for this.
Outlook includes an option to forward all contacts as separate vCard attachments with an email message.
Send the message to an email address that you access with an email client on your Mac.
Save the received vCard attachments to a created folder on your Desktop, and then use the Address Book import feature to import the vCards.

Best way to downsize images and create timelapse/stop motion sequences of various durations

I`m wanting to know should I use compressor to add image sequence and downsize images, or aperture to downsize a folder of images, (i`m talking 4000 to 10,000 photos in one folder). What app is faster and more stable (reliable in converting the whole batch without crashing) ?
I had been doing some mix of stop motion and timelapse and wanted to downsize the images, then take them into FCP.X to create a video,
from there I would be adjusting the frame duration for different groups of photos in the one time line, some groups will have slower frame durations, others faster frame durations depending on the effect I want.
Is FCPX the best choice to do this in? Or should I select the photos I want at a particular frame duration and process/output them in another software first.
Then take them into FCPX to put with other sequences of footage.
Another related question, Compressor, Ive applied a destination and setting by dragging them from the templates, but the following message comes up for the video when I click "submit.."
- Each target assigned to a job must have a setting and destination.
the source is small, for smallest quicktime output, the destination is users movies folder...
any suggestion would be great,
thanks,

If I want to keep the original image file size I would choose a different location? (to make a copy at lower resolution). (some images I want for printing at A2 but haven`t the time to siphon those out yet).
Thanks for the request I hope it is moved (will I be notified via email?)
regards my 2nd question, i`ll clarify that a bit more for the FCPx forum,
...Compressor, Ive applied a destination and setting by dragging them from the templates, but the following message comes up for the video when I click "submit.."
- Each target assigned to a job must have a setting and destination.
I already set the source to small, for smallest quicktime output, the destination is "users movies folder"...both were dragged up into the fields required near the video thumbnail.
Not sure what to do from there it wont let me proceed.

I've always been partial to Numark and Audio-Technica. Have several DJ friends and a client who runs a DJ business, and they use Audio-Technica stuff almost exclusively.
You may be surprised at how easy it is...
With the exception of cameras (webcams especially) Macs are pretty much "Plug &Play" with anything USB, and even though I've never used one, reviews say you just plug the turntable in and it reads as a drive.

Two iPhones, One MBP - Best way to share?

So, my husband just got an iPhone. I will get one soon, but not for a few months. I have a MBP, where the iTunes library lives. When he got an iPod we simply sync'd it with my library... multiple iPods, no prob.
Well, now with the iPhone, he will want to sync Cal, Address Books, iTunes, etc. Should we set up a separate account on the MBP? If we do, he cannot access my iTunes library. Or should we add it to my iTunes, just like the iPods. If we register his iPhone in my iTunes account, can I add another iPhone later, will he still get his own bill? Will my iTunes purchases still be billed to my account?
In short - what is the best way to share a iTunes library with multiple users?

How to share Endeca development work with team

Hi all,
I'm wondering what is the best way for a (distributed) team of developers to share work when building an Endeca application in the workbench (e.g. cartridges, pages etc..). I see there is a utility to export/import entire applications but this seems like overkill if a developer is just making minor adjustments to a page or cartridge for example. Is there way to just export certain resources? Or is the standard way to have a central Endeca environment which everyone works from (this doesn't like an ideal way to work to me)?
What's the best way to share code when working with Endeca and many team members that are building the application?
I'm a noob in the Endeca world so excuse me if this is trivial question but I don't see how this is easily done.
Thanks!
Dave

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the response...let me be more clear on what I'm asking though. We have a VCS already in place (we're using git).
What I'm really trying to get at is how a team of Endeca developers, each with a local install/config of an Endeca application, can work on developing pages, cartridges etc.. and then share those updates from the base application with the rest of the team.
I'm aware of the 'export_site' script in the application that will basically export the entire application and can be reimported by other team members but that appears to be overkill when perhaps a single cartridge has been updated only or a new page has been added. Is there a way to just share those resources easily for the team? Like, just importing the necessary files that have been updated when modifying a cartridge?
Would the approach of checking in the specific Endeca application directory (e.g. c:/Endeca/apps/MyApplication) in to git be the best approach so when updates in the workbench are done/saved against this directory in each developer environment..so git would determine the specific updates that are made and we could simply just commit what's been changed? If that's the approach are there certain files/directories we don't necessarily want to keep under version control as they are more specific to each environment (e.g. like the file/directory that stores the indexed data as that will be different between developers potentially).
I hope that better clarifies my question on this topic.
Thanks for the help!
Dave

HELP: best way to share music?

Here's the deal:
I have a MacBook Pro and my wife just got a MacBook Air.
All of our music (about 15,600 songs / 81 GB) is currently on my MacBook Pro.
I would like to use iTunes Match to get all of this music in the Cloud and off my MacBook Pro.
My wife and I would each like to be able to access this music on our respective computers.
We would like to be able to download separate podcasts to our respective computers.
We don't currently have iPhones, but will be getting the new ones when they come out this fall.
At that time, we'd like to access music in the same way as described above.
At that time, we'd also like to have separate apps (i.e. not all the same apps on each others phones).
So my questions are:
Is iTunes Match the solution?
If so, do we share an Apple ID for music... but have separate Apple IDs for everything else (apps, reminder, etc.)? Is that possible?
In short, what's the best way to share music across multiple devices, while still keeping the devices autonomous in other ways? Thanks for your help!

First, read this thread: FAQ: Why iTunes Match can NOT be used as a backup!
If you each want your own, personal content on your future iPhones this can be done with one iTunes Store account ID, however keep in mind that you will both be using one account. If you wish to use iTunes Match this is also possible but you may not have multiple iTunes Store accounts. You both must share the same account. You would both be able to subscribe to your own Podcasts.
For sharing the music locally I recommend Home Sharing, not iTunes Match. And have a backup scheme for the personal data on both notebooks. If you do not have a backup scheme in place now, I suggest you purchase a 2 TB Time Capsule to backup both computers.

LR5 in Creative Cloud. Acitvate?

I have Creative Cloud installed for a few weeks. Yesterday installed LR5. It keeps asking me if I want to buy or try. How do I activate it from within Creative Cloud without entering a new serial # ?

I am sorry to be obtuse, but this is not very clear.
I have Adobe Application Manager installed on my computer. When I click on the icon and start AAM I do not have to sign in.
When I display ALL there is a list of about 16 products which I could install, some of which I have, but no mention of LR. When I click on Updates there are none.
I have uninstalled LR4 and 5 and tried everything again.
Then I tried approaching it from the web. I go to adobe.com but I cannot find a way to access LR5 from within CC.
The Adobe website is the most confusing I have ever found. It takes you in circles.
Have they for some reason omitted LR5 from the CC offerings? Should I just use the trial version hoping that they will get their heads straight before it expires?
I am using a Core i7 w 16gb, Win 8, loads of disk space. Lr 4.4 and 5b were working just fine until these improvements.

You need to install it with Adobe Application Manager. You sign into your CC account with AAM, and the application lists all the applications that can be updated or installed.
I suspect you'll need to re-install the LR5 with AAM. I had a stand alone LR4 installed prior to purchasing the CC subscription. AAM didn't recognize my version of LR4 untill I removed it and re-installed with AAM.

What is the best way to share a iTunes library between 5 users on the same computer?

What is the best way to share a iTunes library between 5 users on the same computer?
Currently I have a common itunes library in a shared folder that each user is linked to. The problem is that when one user adds music to the shared file, it does not automaticaly appear to other users when they open their iTunes. They have to go to the shared library and select the new music in order to make it visable in their iTunes.
Would iTunes file shareing fix this problem?
Thanks

I am sort of saying that. Have you tried it? I know it's hard to believe, but you really need to help us out by trying some steps that you don't believe.
We can't see what your exact situation is. We sort of know what's worked for us out here. Just trying to help you get this going in less than 24 hours!
Sharepoints manages the samba configuration file. It's free software that puts a pretty face on an otherwise cumbersome config file.
Give it a shot.
windows will not prompt for passwords, I have tried this with multiple computer at home for both vista and xp
As I stated. You will not get prompted on windows, if you have set up sharing in an insecure fashion. You are not using a secured sharing situation.
No argument with your statement.

What is the best way to share the High Res images ...

What is the best way to share the High Res images on my Nokia Lumia 1020? My Android friends really want to see the original ~12MB images taken with Nokia Pro Camera?
-Paul
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you have the att device, then use your att locker.
ANYONE can sign up for the att locker here:
https://locker.att.net/app/#welcome
even if you do not have ATT service, you should sign up NOW.
There is an application that is pre-installed to allow for the 1020 to upload the full resolution files to the AT&T locker.
AND, because they are launching the 1020, they are giving a free upgrade to the account to the 50GB box instead of the 5GB.
they are doing this for a limited time only, I have created a couple of accounts.
after you create your account, it will have to be verified. after you check your email and verify the box, log back in and you will see it is only a 5gb account.
click on "my Account/upgrade" and choose the 50GB and you should see it say FREE under the cost.
then you can upload the full res pictures and share them that way.
otherwise, if you are within reach, try Bluetooth transfer.
