Move from Lightroom to another application

I am currently in the process of moving away from Aperture and possible over to Lightroom. It is clear that I will loose at lot of the work that I have done in Aperture, if I will continue to have a non-destructive workflow. I don't mind the process of re-doing some of all this work but my question is. If I some time in the future will move away from Lightroom to which extent will I be able to maintain the work I have put into the non-destructive editing in Lightroom.
Most of my photos are raw format.

Unless the program you Move To, from Lightroom, can Read the edits placed in XMP files created by Lightroom (Or those edits written to the actual RAW file by Lightroom) all that work will be lost.
Adjustments made in one Raw file editor can't be read by some other Raw file editor. They all use different systems to make those adjustments.
What you could do is once you make all the edits you want on any Raw image file Export it to a TIFF file as a Master and never change that Master file. If you need to edit that Master or Raw file make a Copy of it first or once opened in a program like Photoshop select Save As and save it with a different name so the Master file is left as it came out of Lightroom.

  • How does metadata get changed by both Lightroom and another application??

    I am frequently getting the message "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?" on images in my catalog. I use only Lightroom to organize, add keywords, do basic adjustments, etc. On the occasions I am taking an image into Photoshop to do further work, it's exported as a TIFF or PSD and the original stays in the LR catalog untouched by anything else I might do to the image.
    I have two choices with this message: Use Lightroom's settings, OR overwrite them from disc. The first few times this scared me, as I had no idea where those changes were coming from and why the disc file had something different than the lightroom catalog. I have all my metadata saved in XMP files. But I took the chance and said overwrite LR settings, and saw nothing change on the sliders or image being displayed. I then tried a few saying 'keep LR settings', and again I saw no visible signs of changes. That leads me to believe that they are NOT changed but LR things they are somehow. But I don't like seeing it, I want it to go away unless there really are changes happening outside of LR (like if I went into Bridge or something...)
    Any ideas why this message shows up? I just discovered about 100 images in a collection of images I sent to stock agency three years ago, and haven't done anything with them outside of LR since.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Users have complained for years about spurious metadata-has-changed notifications.  If you're confident that you're not editing the file itself outside of LR, then choosing Overwrite Settings will rewrite the metadata in the file with the catalog metadata and (usually) make the spurious notification go away.
    Unfortunately, LR doesn't tell you which metadata fields have changed, so users are left flying blind.  I believe Rob Cole had a plugin that would tell you metadata differences between the catalog and the disk file, but his Web site has been down for a couple of weeks now.
    ManiacJoe: My guess is that Photoshop is updating some EXIF data fields in the raw file, for example the "edited with software" field. Since Lightroom probably has already set that field, it gives you a warning that something changed.
    Interesting hypothesis.  I just tested that with LR 5.7.1, Photoshop CC 2014, OS X 10.10 and couldn't reproduce the problem.  I exported a TIFF from a cataloged raw file into the same folder as the raw, edited the TIFF and changed some of its metadata in Photoshop, and saved it.  LR didn't report a metadata-has-changed notification.
    In general, I'd be (only moderately) surprised that if you edited x.tif in PS, it would change any metadata in x.cr2 or x.xmp.

  • Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen.  They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option.  Wher

    Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen.  They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option.  Where are all the options I had in PS10?  Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

    The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
    The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

  • Copy and paste image from PDF to another application

    how do you copy and paste an image from PDF into another application such as Word or Excel? I know how to copy>> hover cursor over picture until it turns into a select "+" tool, select and right click to copy but when I try to paste it into another application, its loses all of its formatting. Thanks

    Not sure what you mean by formatting of a picture. You can export all images and get a files to import to word. You can also use the snapshot tool, though it captures a screen copy. If you select an image and copy, my experience has been that it will only copy to PhotoShop, but it is not something I do very much. If the image is part of the document (not markup like a stamp or such), you can use the select tool to select the image and copy it to the clipboard. Just tried it and it worked fine. If it is a stamp (like pasted in), then you can not copy it in this way, if at all.

  • When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing

    When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing the metadata and stop it?

    Thanks Sean,
    I've had a look at the TC settings dialog and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I also had a copy of LR 4 on the hard drive so have trashed that also incase of any conflicts. LR seems to be running ok now but as said it's an intermittent problem.
    I also have a copy of Capture One on the hard drive so am going to uninstall that also in case it is trying to launch.

  • Is possible to propagate message from AQ to another Application by Internet

    Hi,
    Is possible to propagate mesage from AQ to another Application by internet protocol such as HTTP, SMTP?
    I need to automatic dequeue from AQ and send message from queue to Email or HTTP , is it possible? if yes, how to do it?
    Thanks

    chry,
    You can use a java stored procedure to dequeue the message and then use JavaMail to send the message by eMail, or the java.net package to use HTTP to send the message.
    I believe Web Services is also supported. The new book by Kuassi Mensah explains how to do this (I believe). The following post has more details:

  • Stock movement from warehouse to another warehouse

    Hi Friends,
    I have two storage locations with two warehouses each. I want to move the stock from one storage bin ( warehouse - storage location) to another storage bin ( warehouse - storage location).
    I hope First we have to do 311 movement. I heard that after doing 311 movement TR will be created automatically. Is it true? If so how? If it is possible then where will we give the sending storage bin, warehouse and recieving storage bin, warehouse?
    I hope after automatic creation of the TR we have to create manual TO and confirm the TO. If automatic TR creation is there, then automatic creation of TO also will be there?
    Kindly clarify me the full process of stock movement from one storage location to another storage location where WM is there.
    Kumar

    for automatic TO creation,
    To have transfer orders created automatically in the background, you must first set the indicator Automatic transfer order creation for each respective movement type in the Customizing application for Warehouse Management under the path Activities ® Transfers ® Define Movement Types. The system automatically copies this indicator into the header item of the source document.
    For more information on how to set up automatic transfer order creation for transfer requirements and posting change notices, refer to the IMG for Warehouse Management under the path Activities ® Transfers ® Set up Autom. TO Creation for TR/Posting Change Notices.

  • Exporting movie from mac to another computer

    My optical lens on my macbook went out and I need to burn a DVD by friday. They ordered the lens and wont get it fixed for weeks, so I need to get my movie file from my macbook to another computer that I can burn a DVD on. I put the clips on my computer from my camera, (deleted the clips in camera before I knew this was going to happen), and now I dont know how to get it on a flashdrive, email it, anything to get it on a DVD somehow. Any ideas or advice would be HUGE!! Thank you!

    Chriskov....I dont have an Iphone but It sounds like you at least want to get the "purchased" tunes off the laptop. Can you merely "burn the songs to disc" dvd is better, cd is ok....then import from your disc ????
    Maybe easier said then done
    Good Luck

  • The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application...

    Often, I am not sure how to answer that one. Usually, I'm not aware of having made any changes explicitly, either in Lightroom, or externally when I get this prompt. Generally what I'm dieing to know when I see this is:
         "What is the difference between the metadata Lightroom has for it, and the metadata on disk?"
    A feature that could show me what the difference is between the on-disk metadata and the in-catalog metadata would be most appreciated.
    Rob

    Sometimes I know I haven't changed anything in the external file. In this case, the supposed conflict seems to be a bug and I overwrite with Lightroom metadata without exception (but with fingers crossed) - that bug has been reported.
    Other times however, I have edited the file in an external editor, and its possible that the external editor wants to add some information that may be worth having, or it may be that its lost the original information - this is when its a dilemma:
    If I overwrite disk file with Lightroom metadata, I may be losing what the external editor added.
    If I overwrite Lightroom metadata with disk data, I may be losing what Lightroom had and the external editor dropped.
    This scenario has not been reported as a bug, since I don't know if it is one. If I could see the difference between the two, then I'd know.

  • Move data from one Application to another Application.

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to move data from one Application to another Application(we are working on SAP BPC 5.1/7.1 MS version).
    Can anybody please mention all the possible ways to achieve it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The best way to do this would be to use destination_app statement. Please refer to the below link from help.sap:

    Alternatively, you can definitely export the data from one application and import it to the second.
    Hope this helps.

  • Lightroom 4.3 Problem - Another Application Is Using Catalog

    I recently moved all my photos and my Lightroom 4.3 Catalog onto a Drobo Mini so that I can use it easily with my MacBook Pro Laptop and my Mac Pro Desktop.  Everything has been working fine for a few weeks but now I'm having a problem.  When I try to open Lightroom it says it can't open my Catalog because it is being used by another application.  I can't find any other application that is using the Catalog and I have shut down both computers and restarted, but still getting the same message???  Any advice on how to free up my Catalog would be greatly appreciated.

    Cornelia-I,
         I will answer your questions as best I can.  About a month ago, I purchased a new MacBook Pro laptop and a Drobo Mini.  I copied all my images (about 40,000) on to the Drobo Mini and also created a Drobo Mini Lightroom Catalog on the Drobo Mini and imported all the images into that catalog.  Everything worked fine and I could move the Drobo Mini from the MacPro Desktop to the MacBook Pro Laptop without any problems.  I use the Thunderbolt cable to connect to the laptop and a USB cable to connect to the Desktop.  In the past I made sure only one cable was connected to the Drobo Mini depending upon which computer I was connecting to.  A couple of days ago I believe I didn't disconnect the USB cable and didn't shut down the Drobo and just connected it to the laptop.  That is when the problems began.  Initially I couldn't open Lightoom from either computer connected to the Drobo.  It appeared I had somehow corrupted the Drobo and I tried to use my Disk Utility on the MacBook Pro Laptop to repair it but it wasn't able to do so.  I contacted Drobo support and they advised me to purchase Disk Warrior which I did and it fixed the issue with the Drobo files.  Then I was able to look at the Drobo Mini and as Web Weaver suggested, there was a LR lock file on the Drobo.  I moved it to the trash and I replaced the original catalog with the most recent backup, and then I was able to open Lightroom on the Desktop and everything appeared okay.  Then I went over to the laptop, and the messages above about permissions showed up and I couldn't open the catalog.  Rather than go back to the desktop and see if it is okay, I'm thinking first I'd like to solve the problem on the laptop if possible.  I don't know how to fix the folder permissions???
