Newbie Question re stacks, import options, & color labels

I probably shouldn't just group together multi-topic questions, but creating a new topic for each one seemed wasteful. I'm just starting to migrate to Lightroom from PSE, so I have a few questions that I couldn't find answers to.
1. Can I change the color of the color labels? For example I find that the blue color label does not stand out very well with the gray background, so I'd like to make it a deeper blue.
2. Is there an import option (when importing from removable device) to delete the photos (automatically) after copied to disk and imported?
(yes, I know I can manually do it, I'm just lazy)
3. Is there a way to run the auto stack feature without losing already grouped/stacked photos. For example if I have photos A, B, and C and A and B are already grouped, then I run the auto stack with a time setting such that B would pick up C, I want it to add C to A and B, not create a new group with just B and C. AND/OR is there a way to run the auto stack on just the photos I have selected? I did a lot of testing and it seems like I can run it on an entire folder of photos or my entire catalog, but not just, say 20 selected photos.
4. Is there any option that I can turn on that will automatically put the virtual copy on top of the stack when I create one? (again I'm just being lazy)
Finally, sort of a general usage/workflow question .. I've done a bit of reading on virtual copies and snapshots and I still can't decide when one is better than the other ... they seem to basically have the same function - to create non-destructive copies of an original photo that can than later be exported or used. Any thoughts on how people are using them or when one is better than the other?
Thanks! Kelly

Thank you both for the answers/advice.
One more quickie, I was wondering if anyone knew how Lightroom 2 was going to be sold, ie for owners of 1.4 will it be a paid upgrade or free? I ask because I am still in the trial version of lightroom (was doing some testing to see if i wanted to stay in PSE or move to lightroom), and I have decided that I would like to move to lightroom, but there are some features in version2 that I already know I will want, so I'm debating about waiting for that release (to save money), unless it would be a free upgrade for owners of 1.4.
John - why is it better to copy from the card reader to disk then import into lightroom? Just curious as I have been doing quite a bit of research in last couple of days and it seems that a lot of people use that type of workflow (first copying to one folder on hdd, then importing, and then maybe moving later on). In PSE I used to always just use the Adobe interface to copy then import in "one step" (I say one step, but it was obvious that adobe first copied the images then imported them). Anyway I'll probably do as you suggest but just like to get into knowing exactly why I'm doing it a certain way.
Andrew - good to hear, that is actually what I had started doing, so it's good to know that it's a "proven" workflow.
Thanks!

  • Lr5 lost/did not import my color labels

    My Lr4 calalog has all my color labels but when upgrading that calalog to Lr5 - all color labels on images are stripped and I see the label default (Red - Delete, etc)
    I went into the Roaming - Adobe - Lightroom folder and found "Label Sets" but I fear what is in there is the Lr5 stuff
    Question: How can I get all my Lr5 catalog images to have the same color labels as my Lr4 catalog?
    Thank-you

    If your label sets were stored properly in Lightroom 4 they are still in the correct folder in Lightroom 5.
    Go to Metadata>Color Label Set> and make certain the correct Label Set is ticked. If it isn't tick it. If it isn't there you will have to open your Lightroom 4 and find out where that Label Set is stored and move it to the proper place.
    How Labels work:
    Lightroom looks at the metadata of the Label field and matches the text against the five fields in the Color Label Set. If it matches one, it applies the color. If there is text and it doesn't match any, a White Label is applied. If it doesn't have text - no label is applied.
    Give your problem description, you should be seeing a bunch of White labels instead of no label. Is that happening?

  • Newbie question on classic debugger option.

    How to keep the 'classic debugger' as default while debugging.  Otherwise everytime when  I debug, I have to click to 'switch to debugger option'. Do I need to make any option changes?
    Thanks in advance

    Just a small correction as I believe you want the classic debugger all the time.
    From SE38 ABAP Editor screen menu -> Utilities->Settings .
    This will take you to the User specific settings window.
    Click the Debugging Tab.
    Click the Radio Button Classic Debugger , hit enter and you are all set.

  • Lightroom CC isn't including color labels when images are imported

    I've tried this several times, but it doesn't work. Lightroom CC will import metadata and even star ratings, but it won't import the color label data assigned to the images from within Bridge. How can I get that information to be imported?
    In other words, working in Bridge CC I assigned star ratings and color labels to a folder full of JPG files. When I import those files into Lightroom CC, the images, metadata and the star ratings are imported, but no color label data was imported. None of the images have color labels when viewed in LR. They still retain the color labels when I view the files in Bridge CC, but they don't appear in LR.

    I just struggled with this for an hour. Any changes made to labels inside Lightroom 5 didn't show up in Bridge CC after reading metadata from file, and imports into LR5 did not properly show Bridge CC's label colors. Instead, only a tiny white rectangle at the bottom right of each labeled thumbnail showed in LR5.
    Finally figured it out. In the Lightroom 5 file menu up top, go to:
    Metadata --> Color Label Set --> Bridge Default (select this option)
    'Lightroom Default' was previously selected in mine, as I suspect all Lightroom 5 installs are initially.
    Make sure that the names beside each color are identical in both Bridge & LR, or you will still have syncing problems.
    This should fix your problem!

  • How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

    How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge?  I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge.  I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

    JohnM.
    I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR  read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4?  I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck.  It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files.  thanks gain.

  • Problems importing photos with a color label.

    Hello:
    I'm trying to import photos and assign a color label at the same time. My idea is to know what pics are just imported and put they into "status 0" of my workflow, that is, the pic is just imported and need to be accepted/rejected, then be classified, then made basic corrections, etc, etc. I'm going to change color labels to go from red to green status... a tipical workflow.
    OK, this is what I did:
    Import pics:
    * I select the directory and create/assign a new metadata preset.
    * In this metadata preset I set author/creator and some other IPTC fields.
    * Also I put the word "red" in Label field.
    * Do the import...
    What I can see then:
    The photos are imported and the red label is visible. You can see the red label in the grid view (at every photo's bottom) and also, at the bottom toolbar, you can see that the red label is checked. If you click at the small label at the photo's bottom you can see the small menu with the red label checked.
    OK, it seems that the color label is imported but...
    In the filmstring, if you filter to see only the red labeled pics... nothing is selected !! You have to unassign and assign again the red label and this time you can filter by color label.
    What is happening ? Does Lightroom read the color label from two different fields from the metadata ? Is something not synched during the import process ?
    Regards,
    Javier.

    Sorry if I couldn't explain correctly. English is not my main language...
    I know you can assign names to the existing colors label and create different sets. I just create my own set.
    What I'm refering to is to the Label field that is part of the basic IPTC data into a metadata preset. I'm not sure if it's the same field that is used to assign color labels.
    What I did was to create a metadata preset, assign the word "red" as the value of the IPTC Label field and then apply this preset into an import. All the pics were imported with the red label set, so yes, it is possible to do the import and set the color label. The problem is that you can't use the filters that are into the filmstring view. So there is some mismatch here: the red color is shown at the bottom of the pics imported, but the filmstring filters can't "see" that the pics have this color label assigned.

  • Applying star rating/color label to "Current Pick" in Stack View mode

    Is it possible to apply a star rating/color label to the "Current Pick" in Stack View Mode? Thanks.

    is there a way of applying both the five-star rating, AND the green color label at the same time, with one keyboard shortcut, or otherwise?
    If you need to do this in exactly one action, then I don't think there is a way to do this. Of course, if you want to accomplish this in two actions, you can select all the 5 star images, and then apply the Green color label to them all in one step, but that isn't what you asked for.
    Is there any way to make my five-star rated photos more visually prominent in the grid view?
    Not that I know of
    ANother thought is to create a smart collection of your 5 star images, and then you can use the smart collection to view the 5-star images (none of the other images will appear)

  • Flash Install Option (newbie) questions

    I have some questions about the installation options for
    Flash CS4.
    I always prefer to install only the bare essentials. Do I
    actually need to install AIR, Adobe Drive, Device Central,
    Extension Manager, Media Player or Media Encoder to learn and use
    Flash?
    I intend to use Flash to animate some of my artwork for
    stand-alone presentation and/or broadband-only web. I do not expect
    to be producing low resolution content for either the web or mobile
    devices.
    Flash is totally new for me. After watching a Lynda.com video
    (Deke McClelland’s entertaining “Illustrator CS3
    One-to-One Advanced Techniques”) I started to play around
    with the simple animation effects available in Illustrator. I was
    so hooked!
    I returned my CS4 Design Standard upgrade to buy Design
    Premium immediately.
    The CS4 suite install on my XP system was not pretty. In the
    end, the only way (that I could) avoid the frozen “checking
    system profile” progress bar was to copy the entire first
    install DVD to a hard drive.
    One final question: even with new video drivers, neither of
    my XP systems will handle OpenGL. Being unable to use the cool new
    Photoshop zoom/pan tool is sad, but it won’t cause me to
    switch to Vista. Will I be missing more important/essential
    features in Flash CS4 without OpenGL?
    Thanks,

  • Importing color labels

    Okay, I'm new to Lightroom so be gentle.  The problem I have is I have about a dozen folders on an external hard drive with files in them that I want to import to Lightroom (I'm on a Mac OS X).  I had previously gone through and put color labels on all of the files but when I import them into Lightroom the color label does not translate.  Is there anyway to include the color label and have it translate to Lightroom's color labeling? 

    UNfortunnately, Lr does can't handle the colour labels applied via Finder (Mac OS X) or Explorer (Windows).

  • Importing a large amount of text into InDesign (Newbie question!)

    Hello all,
    I am new to InDesign and would really appreciate some tips/advice on how best to transfer a large amount of text from Microsoft Word into an InDesign document. I have been tasked with creating a very simple pocket sized book, the content of which will be a series of business Acronyms (700+) and their defintions (just imagine a very simple dictionary). As you can imagine there is a lot of text in the Microsoft Word document so any advice on how to transfer it all as quickly as possible would be really helpful. Or, as the case may be, would it be simpler to just use another programme?
    Can you paste/import all - or large chunks of - a word document in one go? If I format a master page will Adobe InDesign automatically paste the text into the required number of pages? Or do i have to do it page by page from a clipboard?
    Obviously I am not expecting InDesign to format the text perfectly on each page, I just want to dump it all in one go and then go back and tidy it all up.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Matthew

    File > Place.... and navigate to the Word file. Show Import Options to allow you to preserve the Word Formatting, or dump it, or map styles to ne styles in your ID document.
    If you have a text  frame on your master page, put the loaded cursor over the frame area on your document page and watch for the cursor to change so it is surrounded by parentheses, then hold the Shift key and click. If you don't have a master frame (and most experienced users will tell you that more than 90% of the time a master text frame is more hindrence than help if you set your margins correctly), hold the Shift key and click where you want the top of the first column to start.
    In both cases, ID will add pages as required to place the entire document and thread the text through all the frames. If using master frames, they will be linked and overrridden onto the document page automatically, if not, your first frame will start where you click and extend down to the bottom margin and succeeding frames will fill the column guides (hence mention of setting your margins correctly).
    ID is a professional program and you really need to spend some time learning how it works. One good place to start is the Help files. Another is Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide to InDesign. If you prefer video training, Lynda.com has good content.

  • Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

    Hello:
    I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
    My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a  PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
    TIA,
    Kimberly

    Kimberly,
    How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
    Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
    Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
    Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
    Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

  • Color label text

    In preferences under labels it is possible to attach a string of text to each individual color.
    I was going to say that I couldn't find a way to display the text but as i was typing this I checked the list view and the text does show up there.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to have the text show up in anything other than the list view?
    thanks

    Thanks for the reply, great stuff as always. I wasn't aware of the label showing up in the Filter HUD on and Metadata pane on mouse over. That works for me.
    My pleasure -- I'm always learning. Glad to help.
    Not showing up in the Label field in the Metadata pane seems like a bad miss on the designers part, it would be a perfect place to display it right under the color dot itself.
    Yes. I think Aperture really came of age w. 3.x -- but now there are ripples to smooth. Frictionless it's not.
    No this time I'm not looking at this from a programming point-of-view. I'm actually looking at it for use in my workflow (starting to hate that phrase). I'm gradually shifting from Aperture as a great piece of software to poke around and see what it can do to actually trying to setup my digital darkroom.
    I'm looking at labels to keep track of my prints as they go through the process. You know grey is test print, purple is first work print, blue is second, etc. Trying to see how much of what I remember from my darkroom days carries over. I'm trying to slow myself down. It's so easy , for me at least, to just go in and start whacking around sliders to see what happens, the thought process and stepwise refinement you need when dealing with the physical gets lost.
    Labels, of course, are just another metadata field. I think of them as privileged -- in addition to all that one can do with metadata, Labels are given a special treatment and showing in several (all?) views of one's images. As such, they can serve a privileged role in one's workflow (a meaningful word, if a bit like used bubblegum). I, too, use them to mark stages of image development. The +really nice thing+ is that this shows at a glance in the browser. Whatever you decide, I strongly advise that you use the color labels to show something you want to know instantly about an image (contrasted to keywords). Here's one of the schemes I use, to give you some ideas on how to -- or how not to -- set up yours:
    . (blank) -- not yet ranked at all
    . red -- marked for development
    . orange -- development started, not finished (sometimes the phone rings, etc.)
    . yellow -- part of bracketed set (for HDR or panorama -- note that the returned image will join the Stack as the pick and be developed and labeled)
    . green -- developed, ready to be published
    . blue -- a Version of a (green) developed shot, to be re- or differently developed for a specific need
    . purple -- a developed blue Version, ready to be used
    . gray -- abandon but keep (fatal flaw somewhere -- this is for those "I liked that ... O! Now I remember ... " shots)
    Which brings me to another question, notes. Back in the day I'd always be making notes as I went through the printing process. Most times I would just use the back of the test print. I've been using the caption field but that seems like a less then optimal solution. So if you keep notes as you adjust and print where do you keep them? I've tried making a custom field which would be ideal but there doesn't seem to be a way to make it larger than a single line and reading it back then is a pain.
    I use a custom metadata field I named "Comment" (very important, imho, to not use Caption, as that field is often published and shows up in many places). Here's a screen shot with some important additional information:
    Let us know what you come up with.

  • Can Bridge not read / see the Finder's color labels...?

    I have got a whole stack of images files, in a few nested folders on my Mac, and they have all been painstakingly individually color-labelled in the Finder with various colors.
    I now want to manage these files and perform various actions on them, based on their colors, and so I have opened up the folders in Bridge, but Bridge is not showing the colors of the files.
    I know Bridge has its own color-labels set-up, but this does not work in conjunction with the Finder, so even if I went through and re-labelled them all in Bridge, the changes would not be reflected in the Finder -- and I do still need to view the color-labels outside of Bridge / in the Finder, because I won't ONLY be using these files from within Bridge.
    So, simply put, is there no way I can get Bridge to read and display the color-label information as shown in the Finder?

    So, simply put, is there no way I can get Bridge to read and display the
    color-label information as shown in the Finder?
    No, you can't see those finder labels in Bridge.
    There is however a reasonable simply workaround I would think.
    In Finder create several new folders, for each label one folder.
    Open another Finder window and put this in column mode. Use view options in
    Finder and add the column 'label' to the window. Now press on the name label
    at top of this column and your labels are selected per color above each
    other.
    Drag and drop them manual to the new created folders. And you can easily
    repeat this for the other nested folders.
    You can also add the new color label folders temporally to the favorite
    column left at the finder window so drag and drop is even more easier.
    After this in Bridge point to each folder and assign a suitable bridge label
    color to it. Now you can work with Bridge color labels
    Also in Bridge you have options to rate with stars and add keywords so
    filtering has dozens of ways to retrieve your grouped files at once using
    the filter panel.

    Using the Static IP List to Block Devices
    You can use the Static IP list to control access to your network. You can block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address.
    Add devices to the Static IP list as described in Static IP Addresses.
    Enable or disable the following features:
    Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: Check this box to prevent a computer from accessing your network if its IP address has been changed. For example, if you previously assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device will not be allowed to connect to your network. This feature discourages users from changing their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.
    Block MAC address not on the list: Check this box to block access from devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This feature prevents unknown devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by any connected device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.
    Hope that helps.

  • Close all folders in Mail?  Color Label folders?  Find folder?  And More!

    Hi all.
    I have a LOT of mail. They're all very organized, though. Heaps of Mailboxes (Folders) and Sub-folders.
    I also have heaps of rules dutifully sending incoming mail to their appropriate mailboxes.
    However...
    It has reached a point where one of of the major bottlenecks in my daily workflow is sorting through all these mailboxes.
    There are 5 primary mailboxes with perhaps 100-ish subfolders or sub-subfolders. Maybe more.
    When they are all open, or a lot of them are open, it is difficult to find the a specific folder when I need it. It would help if I could close all open folder with a shortcut.
    Is this possible?
    It would also help if I could visually distinguish each level. Can I color label the mailboxes(not the messages themselves)?
    Another help would be if I could run a search for a folder Mailbox name. Is this possible?
    Lastly when I create a rule I would love it if there was an option to 'Create new Mailbox' in the rule dialog box rather than having to create the mailbox first. Am I just missing this? See link for illustration:

    I just had a look and you need to create the mailbox PRIOR to asking the rules to move it into that.
    Now, automator lets you create a new workflow, but not sure as to how to set that one up (might be possible; however, my mathematical brain tells what you want to achieve is flawed:
    1) IF new mail equals "tangerine", create new mailbox tangerine, then move message to mailbox "tangerine. (FINE so far!)
    2) the second "tangerine" message arrives, and the workflow should FAIL (because it cannot create a "new" mailbox "tangerine", as there is ALREADY a mailbox named "tangerine")
    3) if automator cannot execute "If" and "and" and the "sort by" all together, then distinguish (a "tangerine" message might actually need to go to "pear" but refers to "pears and tangerines", so it ends up in the wrong mailbox), you may have to start and restart mail, until all stages of the script have been executed.
    You see the problems?
    Anyhow, here is a link to some automator info:
