New to Lightroom - Where do I set up my catalog?

I just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom, been using Canon DPP, and I have my picture files stored in my "Pictures" library on my C drive and backed up to an external harddrive. When I first tried to open Lightroom it indicated that I had Lightroom compatable catalogs (I have Elements 6 that I use) but I foolishly skipped by that and clicked on something like "create new Lightroom Catalog". When that started to run I cancelled out of that because I thought that I might now be creating duplicates of all of my pictures and I only have about 100 gigs left on my 1 tb. harddrive. Now when I open the trial version of Lightroom I don't get that original prompt and don't know how or where to designate my Lightroom Catalog and don't know if by creating a Lightroom Catalog I'm actually duplicating files.
Any help is greatly apprectiated.
Thanks

Thanks for the prompt replies. I'm not at my home computer at this time but will try to set up a catalog file in my Library folder that gets backed up on a routine basis to an external hard drive.
If I'm reading the replies correctly I should be able to just create a new file, label it Lightroom 3 and then designate that to contain my Lightroom files, right?
Thanks again

I want my home page to open every time I open a new tab. Where is the setting for that?

When I open a new tab it is always blank. I want it to automatically open to my home page every time I open a new tab.
I thought I found a setting for this, but I can not find it now.

There is no setting for this, but you can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version. Paragraphs seem to only be dealt with in styles, and the Formatting window for text doesn't seem to have the space after paragraph contrtol that the older Inspector had. What am I missing?

Sorry I did this without looking:
Side panel >Text > Style > Spacing > Turn the triangle > Before Paragraph/After Paragraph/

How do I transfer from time machine adobe lightroom programme to my girlfriends computer (backed up on my hard drive via time machine) with out setting up my full desktop - i need it until i can afford a new computer to restore my old set up completely.
Any ideas, I can access files - i.e. jpegs of old work, but can't edit new photos...

If you have a license for Lightroom, you should be able to reinstall it from an installer disc or re-download it from Adobe after explaining the situation and clarifying the license issues. Either will be simpler than trying to extract and install it from a TM backup of a different Mac, I think. If it's anything like other Adobe products, it has bits and pieces all over the place that you'll have to find and put in their right places on your girlfirend's Mac.

I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop. On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared. I am lost. Help.

Question: I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop. On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared. I am lost. Help.

It's a common issue. The Basic panel is merely hidden.
Hiding/unhiding panels is actually a feature of Lightroom but it is unintuitive - few people know it exists - so most newcomers are thrown when a panel somehow gets hidden.
Right-click anywhere in the right hand side panel area and a context menu will appear.
Click the Basic option to make the Basic panel re-appear.

So where is LR trying to copy the files? Check your destination in the Import panel at the right.

Missing Functionality -where do I set a budget for a Project?

Budgeting for Projects is non - existent
Budget for Profit and Loss for a particular project , How is it done ?
Does not work , No facility to put in Budget for a project ?
The report I am trying to run is:
REPORTS>FINANCIAL>BUDGET REPORTS>Profit and Loss Statement Budget Report.Then go to Expanded and choose a PROJECT, say MailOrder.
The result is that it will show the MailOrder project for the ACTUAL but it will show the whole company Turnover against the BUDGET column.
This is because there is no place to set a budget for MailOrder Project in the first place. So the question is where do I set a budget for a Project?
1 Budget setup screen - this has no facility to setup a budget for a PROJECT
2.Budget Profit and Loss - this has the facility to run a PROJECT budget but the figures for the Budget cannot be right because they were not setup in the first place.
PS MailOrder project is just an example.
Version: SAP BUSINESS ONE 2007 A Patch Level 41
Description of requirements: As above
(Valid as of: (Date that this legal requirement is applicable) N/A
Business needs: Customer cannot set the budget for a project and this effects their accounting.
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
Current Workaround: None.
Proposed solution: Create a Project and then be able to set a Budget for it

Hi Darpal/Kerstin
Please ignore my previous replies because I have now worked out why this idea will not work:
Kerstins' idea is based on setting up new Nominal Codes for every Project and for Every Nominal Code in the Profit and Loss structure. Apart from the fact that this will create a messy Nominal Structure with hundreds of Nominal Codes, the main issue here is the way the Cost Of Goods Sold is structured. The logic of our Nominal Structure for Sales and Cost of Goods is based on Item/Item Groups and the Nature of these Items. In our case we sell Skin Care products under 3 Brands. Say Brand A, B and C
So Brand A is summarised into one item Group and the ITEM GROUP is coded to Sales Nominal 20000 and the Cost of this group is coded to Nominal 30000. In Kertins suggestion, I would need to raise a Nominal Code 20001 for say Project Mail Order and 30001 for the Cost of Goods for Mail Order but this the Mail Order project is selling ALL our brands (A,B,C) - so you can see the problem here. You cannot use Nominal Codes for two different purposes and make it work. So the problem here is that my BRAND A summary will contain a Nominal with a Project Mail Order, that has SALES of Brand A,B,C. The Net effect will be that we will not be able to summarise anything in SALES and Cost of SALES in a logical way (Neither by Brand or By Project) and the Nominal Structure will be a mess.
My conclusion is that SAP b1 Sales and Cost of Goods section demands certain logic when building the Nominal Codes, and this is based on the NATURE OF THE STOCK ITEM and trying to superimpose the PROJECT issue into this, will never work. In my view, the PROJECT issue needs to be sorted without involving New Nominal codes and the starting point would be in sorting out the SALES and COST of SALES and the project Budget for this.
Please let me know if you need further illustration of the problem.

I migrated info from a hard drive to a new mac under time machine. It says I have shared files, but I don't see the old info on the new machine. Where do I look for it ? How do I make the old backup the base for my new macbook ?

Where can i set the location of the LogonTicket cookies in the visual admin

hello:
where can i set the location of the LogonTicket cookies in the visual administrator?
thanks!!

Hi,
When the SAP LOGON ticket Expired or if we need to update the dates, it is generally done at the Visual Administration Level. SAP Logon Ticket is represented as cookie in the Browser which will help us for SSO.
In Visual Admin under keystore admin where our Old Portal certificate exists.
We will need to delete the old portal certificate, then we need to generate new ceritificate and a pop box will appear.. where we need to provide our System details like SID, Client. After these details are given we can get a new certificate in which validity period dates are automatically generated. And also we can import teh same into Portal at Sys Admin->sys config->key store admin for it to be available as .PSE or .DER file for SSO.

New 30D Lightroom & ACR Preset Available.
I have a set of presets for Lightroom 1.1 and ACR 4.1 that will IMHO improve on the default color rendering from Adobe.
To obtain the beta please visit: http://www.huelight.com to download.
I look forward to your comments.

Phil, If you look further you'll find that <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~tindeman/raw/acr-calibrator-l.html" target="blank">Simon Tindeman's ACR calibrator script</a> takes away a lot of the tedium. I recently calibrated a Nikon D200 and a Canon 30D back-to-back under the same lighting conditions (studio flash) using this script and got: <TABLE BORDER=1> <TR> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Item</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Nikon D200</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Canon 30D</TD> </TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Colour Temp</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">6150</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">6300</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Tint</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-22</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-29</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Exposure</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.55</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">1.4</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-13</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-11</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">10</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">28</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-7</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-14</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">9</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-10</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">3</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-4</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-2</TD></TR> </TABLE> When I applied them to some purple chocolate wrappers photographed in the studio they compared very well to each other and the real wrappers. YMMV, of course. However, don't be under the illusion that this 30D calibration is right for all 30Ds. In fact, it may not even be right for teh same 30D under different conditions. To illustrate this, today I photographed the same colour chequer twice and ran the script on both files. Under the studio fluorescents, with a very different illumination level, etc, etc - but the same camera within about three minutes, the same lights, the same colour chequer, and came up with: <TABLE BORDER=1> <TR> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Item</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Photo 1</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Photo 2</TD> </TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Colour Temp</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5500</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5150</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Tint</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">16</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">21</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Exposure</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.6</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.7</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">1</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">2</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">22</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">22</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">24</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">28</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-2</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">10</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-6</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-5</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">8</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-9</TD></TR> </TABLE> So, this would be telling you that - most things want more red saturation - my so-called 6500 K illumination is good in red but off in green - things are never the same twice So while it's interesting to calibrate, if you look too closely you'll end up wishing you'd never asked. Again, YMMV. Damian PS Not really sure why U2U formatting leaves so much space above my tables. I thought I was being soooo clever, too.
