Moving images between open browsers. Possible?

I would like to copy an image from one open album into another open album. I know I can drag it into the Projects icon. But I want to place it at a specific spot.
It would seem to be a reasonable feature. I can, for example, easily do this in Adobe Bridge with two Bridge windows open. Is it possible in Aperture?

Yes, I agree the LR folder interface is cumbersome. I like to import my photos into temporary directories, work on them for awhile in LR, and then move the final revisions into my existing file directory (for long term storage and easy retrieval) where photos are organized by year, event, people, etc. This is difficult if the existing directories are not already entered into LR, or if I want to create a directory that is a child of a directory that LR does not know about.
At present, I'm moving either moving the photos using Windows Explorer and then instructing LR to perform a synchronize folder operation, or moving the entire directory, renaming it to something suitable, and then performing a synchronize folder.
Time consuming at best. And, to a certain extent, contradicts the idea of LR smoothing my workflow.
The previous posts are right - it is awkward that LR cannot either (1) perform some rudimentary file management tasks, or (2) follow along with operations in Windows Explorer that LR cannot perform itself.
I'm standing by, expecting an upcoming future version to improve on this aspect of LR. In the mean time, I'll be watching this thread for insight.

Moving images between libraries

In OSX and Lightroom 2, how to I move images between libraries? I know that probably sounds like a dumb question, but I am a total LR2 newb. I know I can move an entire library folder into another library folder, but what if I just want to move selected images from one library to another?
Thanks in advance!

Open a catalog and choose FILE...IMPORT FROM CATALOG. Choose the other catalog and then select the images you want. That will copy them into your catalog. If you don't want them in the second catalog then open that one and delete them. Just choose the remove from catalog option since you want the image source files to remain on your drive for the other catalog to reference.

Moving images between folders is SLOW

Moving images from one folder to another seems unusually slow, even if the folders are on the same hard drive.
Additionally, the thumbnails stay in the original folder until I restart LR. I vaguely recall something that caused the thumbnails to update very slowly, but right now I find it's quicker to just quit LR and restart it.
Special circumstances that might be contributing to the problem -
Source Folder -
18 GB of images from a wedding shoot. 6 multi GB cards, each with a few subfolders of their own.
I'm trying to move about 500 images at a time.
Destination Folders -
Nothing special there other than trying to get the 500 images into them in one move.

Turn on curmudgeon switch -
No, I won't find it is slow because LR is checking files and making sure all is okay. Other than a slowly moving progress bar, I have no idea what it is doing. There is only a hint of something being checked is that sometimes the progress bar moves slowly for about 1/3 of the length and then relatively quickly the rest of the way, which is when I hear the hard drive becoming more active. (Maybe that's the checking / moving phases.)
Turn off curmudgeon switch -
Now it makes sense that LR needs to make sure that a file of the same name does not exist in the destination folder. Maybe it needs to check database integrity in some way while moving the files. Maybe the undo-ability of the process causes need for special care.
My guess is that some of the database code for whatever it is doing is written poorly.
And there is still the problem that the thumbnails do not get refreshed. They are still visible in the old folder. How do I work around that?

Moving images between folders

Provide an easy way to move an image between Lightroom folders with LR updating the database information on the image location. I have been told you can simply drag and drop but the process is not intuitive and I am cconcerned that I am going to lose an image in the process.

You can simply drag and drop. And Lightroom moves the images on the drive to reflect this. Unless you actually remove or delete the image by hitting delete, it will remain in the Library.

Problem Moving Images Between Folders In Bridge (Windows 7 Professional)

I have just bought a new computer with Windows 7 installed. I now also have Adobe CS5 Design Premium installed.
When I try to MOVE or DRAG and DROP an image from one folder to another using Adobe Bridge I get the following error message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you don't have sufficient permissions"
When I try the same thing in Windows Explorer it tells me that I need Administrator Permission. I click OK and it works in that programme.I am actually the Administrator
Can anybody tell me how I can configure Bridge to undertake this task please.
Many thanks in anticipation
Adrian

Dear friends
To my great relief I have now sorted this issue and offer the following as the Correct Answer. My sincere and grateful thanks go to Curt and Yammer, above, who have helped me so much in sorting this Windows 7 issue which is clearly very relevant to Bridge users also. Any slowness to grasp what they have been saying is down to me!
The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.
Somebody said to me the other night that when you buy a car you buy it to enjoy the drive, not to have to tinker with the engine. Microsoft and companies that supply and install Windows 7 on new computers please take note!

Best practice for moving images between projects?

Hey all,
I have a project that has an album inside of it. I want to move the album, containing all of the photographs to a new project. If I drag the photos individually to the new project it moves them successfully although they now don't belong to an album in their new project. If I drag the album itself it moves the album and photographs but leaves the photos in the original project as well.
Does anyone have some best practice ideas for this scenario?
Thanks in advance for any help!

As you have discovered if the drop target is the project the images move projects. If the drop target is an album the images show up in the album but do not actually move anywhere. Moving albums does nothing to move masters. So...
Select all of the images in the album. Drag them to the new project and then drag the album to the new project. Simple enough.

Storedprocedure moving images between tables

I have two tables: Test_Base and Test_Run
When a test is approved i have a stored procedure to move two columns from Test_Run to Test_Base
Column 1: WriteFileLoc (varchar)
Column 2: image (xml file in a byte[])
However, when i execute the following procedure it moves an empty image = 0x
Any ideas to why it moves the varchar but not the image (the image i want to move isn't empty)?
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.au_InsertFileListXml ( @RunID varchar(50))
AS
DECLARE @BaseID varchar(50)
DECLARE @WriteFileLoc varchar(50)
SELECT @BaseID = Test_ID, @WriteFileLoc = Test_WriteFileLoc FROM Test_Run WHERE Test_Run_ID = @RunID
IF @WriteFileLoc = 'N'
UPDATE Test_Base SET Test_FR_FileList_N = r.Test_FR_FileList_N, Test_WriteFileLoc = @WriteFileLoc FROM Test_Base b,Test_Run r WHERE b.Test_ID = @BaseID;
ELSE IF @WriteFileLoc = 'Y'
UPDATE Test_Base SET Test_FR_FileList_Y = r.Test_FR_FileList_Y, Test_WriteFileLoc = @WriteFileLoc FROM Test_Base b,Test_Run r WHERE b.Test_ID = @BaseID;
GO

Oracle doesn't have a byte[] data type and the procedure code you posted appears to be written in SQL Server's T-SQL. If this is a SQL Server question, you're probably better off finding a forum that deals with SQL Server. Very few of us in these parts use SQL Server with any regularity.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
Why does the image size change?
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
Help!...Please?

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

Have a MacBook Pro running Lion and an IMac running Snow Leopard. Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machine. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

Have a MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.9) and an IMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machines. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

Moving images from Lightroom to Photoshop 2014 CC – Color Problems?

For some reason, whenever I select "Edit in Photoshop 2014 CC", the image color is not only extremely different from what's displayed in Lightroom, it's dark and dull. However, if I export the image as a .jpg and then import it into Photoshop 2014 CC the color looks the same as what's displayed in Lightroom and this is with NO color correction.
Why is this happening and how should I be moving files between the two apps? BTW, I shot the images with a Canon T3i that saves the image as a CR2 and JPG.
Thanks!

I'm running Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" works fine for me. I'm on an iMac and had Lightroom installed first, only thing I noticed is it takes PS a little longer to open up.

Moving files between folders is very slow

Hi, I have an iMac 2011. Processor: 2.7GHz Intel Core i5/ Memory 4GB
OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1
After I change my OS from Mavericks to Yosemite, moving files between folders is very slow.
For example, if I move one jpg file in Desktop to Pictures folder (or just any other folders like Trash), it takes about 3 seconds.
When I was still using Mavericks, it made that Ding sound and transferred files right away. However, now, although it makes the Ding sound right away, the file is still there for 3 seconds.
I tried to clean up my mac using many apps, but they never fixed this problem.
I've also tried what I saw on this one thread. OS X File Transfers Very Slow
Go->Connect to Server then type "cifs://server-address" but it says there is a problem and did nothing. (maybe different issue)
Please help!

There may be other issues, but you installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Dreamweaver 6.1 - JavaScript error when switching between open tabs

When switching between open tabs a sequence of javascript
errors occurs. I had not used Dreamweaver for about 2 weeks, and
last time I used it with no problems.
I have tried uninstalling it, OKing removal of all files when
asked, re-installing it and updating with dwmx61_updater.exe, but I
still get the same errors.
This has rendered the software virtually unuseable, so any
help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm working to a
rapidly-approaching deadline.
"While executing Browse_Back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Forward enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
The relevant code seems to be :

<toolbar id="Browser_Toolbar" platform="win"
label="Browser Navigation" container="document"
initiallyVisible="false">
<button id="Browse_Back"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/back.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/back_dis.gif"
tooltip="Back"
label="Back"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('back')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.backPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Forward"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/forward.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/forward_dis.gif"
tooltip="Forward"
label="Forward"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('forward')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.forwardPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Stop"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/stop.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/stop_dis.gif"
tooltip="Stop"
label="Stop"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.getPageBusy()"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.stopPage()"
update="onBrowserPageBusyChange"/>
<button id="Browse_Refresh"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/browserRefresh.gif"
tooltip="Refresh"
label="Refresh"
enabled="true"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.refreshPage()"/>
presumably the next error is caused by the previous ones
failing :
"While executing getCurrentValue in AddressURL.htm, a
JavaScript error occurred"
the relevan tcode :
function getCurrentValue()
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var value = dom.browser.getURL();
if (value && value.length)
//check if is it not a temp file
//extract the tail of the url
var filename = value;
var slashIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
filename = filename.substring(slashIndex+1);
var tempIndex = filename.indexOf("TMP");
if (tempIndex != 0)
addRecentAddress(value);
return value;

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

IWork Apps Closing When Switching Between Open Applications

I am having an issue with iWork applications shutting down when I am switching between open applications. For example, if I have Pages running, but no document open, and I use the command/tab command to switch to another program, then try to go back to Pages, I find that it has closed and must be reopened. The same thing happens with Keynote. If however, the program is open and a document or presentation is open, I can switch without the program closing. Is anyone else experiencing this? I can't find any other references to it. I am running a Macbook Pro with the latest version of Yosemite and the newest versions of Pages and Keynote.
Thanks.

Yokay, so no one else is experiencing this issue. Pretend you were, do any possible solutions come to mind?

Drag & Drop Images Between Tabs?

Hi, Forgive me if I am missing the obvious but I need some help.
Just got myself an iMac and I am in the process of getting it set up how I like it, Made the move from a Windows PC where I used the FireFox browser.
My plan had been to just use Safari on my Mac to take advantage of all the good things like handoff, keychain etc with my other iOS devices.
Now here is my problem, I use eBay a lot and I upload extra photos to hosting sites, then drag and drop them from that tab into the description on the eBay tab.
However Safari does not seem to allow this, When trying to drag the images between tabs I just get a green + symbol which replaces the tab whereas when I use FireFox to do the same the other tab essentially "opens" allowing me to drop the image in.
Is there anything I can do to fix this or a work around? I have tried the "Copy image" option but when I paste it in I just get a broken image picture.
I should say the OS X version of FireFox works fine so it must be something to do with how Safari handles it.
Hopefully somebody can advise?
Many Thanks
Craig

I have found a slight work around in that if you use a new window instead of of a tab, then shrink it down you can drag and drop images.
But surely there has to be a way to do it between tabs?
Basically I am looking for a way to have the tab open when it is hovered on instead of the green + button appearing...
