Problem with importing a large number of images to Lightroom?

I'm trying to import a large number of images from disk to Lightroom. If I select more that approximately 1500 images (1250 works fine), I get an error message saying "files do not exist". If I reduce the number of files imported, everything works fine. I can import in groups as long as the number selected at any one time is less that the ~1500 limit.
Has any one had a similar problems? I'm running LR 2.4 64-bit on Win7 RC 64-bit, Q6600 processor, 8 GB RAM.
Does not seem like this should be a problem. Its a real hassle to my workflow. I'm working on a series of time-laps movies (here is a link to a sample: http://vimeo.com/6375019).

Thanks for your reply Sean,
It is an internal disk drive, SATA II interface.I have no other disk/file problems, this is unique to LR as far as I can tell.
I'm loading files onto disk from a CF card reader outside of Lightroom, then opening LR and telling it to import from disk. I've never had a problem before with imports. Experimenting with number of files, somewhere between 1250 and 1500 is where the problem occurs.
Been busy making time-lapse videos of the fire in LA, so I'm away from the computer most of the time.
thanks,
Dan Finnerty

Problem with import of Large table

I am having a problem while trying to import a table with 4M rows,
i am getting a thread 1 cannot allocate new log ....
i know this has to do with my redologs, but isn't there any way that i can do complete this
without getting this error... is there any way to import specific rows from a dump file
thanks.

Hello Mark Rennel Barrios ,
As I already told you It is possible. For Table maintanence transaction use the Report Module pool program and use the Function module "VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL " by passing the proper attributes so that the Table maintenance will come in the display only mode. During the launch of the Table maintenance screen we can popup a information saying "a dialog maintenace should pop up to say that LANDX should be maintained and it should look in table T005T for its values where LAND1 = LAND1 of the custome table created".
Hope this answers your question.
Please kindly close your previous thread on the same issue .
Thanks,

TS4079 Problems with Siri. Large number of contacts with similar names

I work for a retail company and have the locations of the stores listed in my phone as "Store 1, Store 2..." When I ask Siri to call a specific store, it is not unsderstanding me. I have tried editing the contacts to make it more symplistic but I keep getting weird responses. I do not have this problem when calling individuals. Has anyone else had this type of problem? If so, can it be fixed?

Importing large number of images still broken in Lightroom 1.1

It's deja-vu all over again :(
Clean XP SP2 install, clean LR 1.1 install, new library
Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, almost 2TB disk space
28,000 RAW images from Canon 10D, 1D Mark II and 1Ds Mark II
I have a 30" screen so I set my library to: high quality previews, 2048 pixels high, never drop 1:1 previews, automatically export to xmp
I have tried importing the whole lot, tried a subset of a few thousand images, same result.
I always import in place.
If I try importing images without generating standard sized previews it always completes, my library ends up being about 330MB, the Catalog Previews.lrdata directory contains roughly the number of files that were imported. So far so good. I've tried compacting the library at this point, it didn't make a difference. After importing lightroom just goes to 50% CPU and stays there for hours. Eventually it goes down to 0%. But then it refuses to open any files at 1:1 (it just shows 'Loading...', waited for half an hour for ONE images, no change), if I try to prerender 1:1 previews it takes several MINUTES PER IMAGE (no disk activity to speak of, CPU busy) and the supposedly prerendered images have the same 'Loading...' problem.
If I try importing images and generate standard sized previews I notice that after about 1000 files get added to the 'Catalog Previews.lrdata' directory it stops growing, new directories keep getting added but they're empty (this is on a drive with 400GB free...). Trying to open any of the imported files seems to work but after looking at two or three I get a red, up-side-down 'Out of memory - A2' error.
Has ANYONE been able to build a new library with a non-trivial number of images AND generate previews?
If anyone from Adobe is reading this, and cares, please reply and let me know how to proceed. I'm a software engineer, I have debugging tools, please work with me. I really, really, really want Lightroom to work for me.

Sorry to report, but I built my catalog [library in 1.0] with 21,000 images and it went smooth as silk. My conversion to 1.1 was fast and smooth, all of the library became a catalog.
I have been paring down my catalog, removing bad photos and dups with no problem. No freezes, no out of memory errors, no crashes. I will admit that I had a couple of OOMs and occasional crash before 1.1, but those went away with the addition of the second pagefile on second HDD.
Do I know what actually caused the fixes, not really. I used the "fix everything" approach. Somewhere along the line, something clicked I expect, but I had no serious problems even in the beginning.
I now have 13800+ images and I import from an external USB card reader, then import into LR from HDD, then convert to DNG inside of LR.
-Core 2 Duo 6600,
-XP Pro SP2 with all updates after SP2 was issued,
-2 HDDs, SATA,
-2 pagefiles-one on each HDD at 1.5 x RAM [2GB],
-nVidia 7600GT video card with 256MB,
-Windows kernel resident in RAM,
-system optimized for applications-not cache,
-remote Logitech mouse,
-Microsoft keyboard,
-19" CTL 9GX LCD monitor [3 years old],
-monitor calibrated with Pantone Color Plus 1.1.

Problem with importing images into time lapse

Hi
I am having problems with importing still images into a time lapse sequence in photoshop and would appreciate any suggestions!
I want to create a time lapse using a sequence of still photographs. All file names are sequentially name/numbered.
I am using the Motion workspace, and have followed all of the instructions available.
Create correct sized new document (film & video).
Create video timeline.
Set frame rate.
Choose 'create new video layer from file'.
Point to first image in the folder where the images are stored.
At this point, no matter what I have tried, I receive this error:
I have tried different sized new documents; tried jpegs and tiffs; tried different frame rates, tried different qualities and sizes of images; tried selecting the last image instead of the first (one recommendation).
If I use the 'Place' command from the file menu (and check the 'image sequence' box) instead of selecting 'Create new video layer' from the layers panel, it loads fine and I can still render the video.
It took me most of a day to discover this workaround, but every other reasonable 'how-to' that I can find says that I should be able to do it by opening files into a new video layer and it seems as though the new video layer option may give me more alternatives.
Anyone have any idea why I could be having these problems?
I have reset Photoshop, deleted the settings file, even reinstalled it. I use 64-bit on windows 7 and even installed the 32-bit to try that, but all with the same result.
Stuart

Unfortunately, yes--I've tried it that way over and over, and every other way I could think of. The files are all in one folder, and I've converted the raw files to both tiffs and jpegs. I even tried converting them to jpegs at the final pixel dimensions. Each folder that I have used only contains one type of file, and they are all part of the same sequence and sequentially numbered. I have even tried renumbering the files with numbers first, numbers last, numbers only, moving underscores. I moved the files from my external hard-drive to the desktop ... I have a lot less hair than I had only a few days ago!
I've looked at a few other tutorials that outline the same sequence of steps, and tried them over and over, and then changing one step at a time to make sure that it was not a single step that caused the problem.
The thing that is really bugging me is that it works fine if I use the different approach of using the place command instead.
Anyway, thanks for all of your time. It's going to be a lot simpler to just stick with 'place' command and I will likely do that, but I tend take things like this as a challenge. I like to know WHY it won't work for me. Sometimes it seems that there is just no logical explanation!

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc
I have installed lightroom cc and having trouble imortera images from my Canon 1DX.
Lightroom starting the capture, but then nothing happens more, if I turn off the camera, I get error message photo 100-200 could not be loaded.
Now I have left lightroom 5 and where the input port works fine.

The camera has the latest software.

I've now tested in various ways.
First, I have images on both memory cards in the camera.
Test1) Selects Not all of the photos in the camera at the input port bearings, it seems to work fine.
Test 2) selects all cards in the camera and then get the following, Lightroom starts inportera short but stops and nothing happens (Fig.1).
I turn the camera off after a while and get the next meddelnade (picture 1)
Which can be translated:
"The following files were not imported because they could not read (351)

etc. "

How do I create new versions of a large number of images, and place them in a new location?

Hello!
I have been using Aperture for years, and have just one small problem. There have been many times where I want to have multiple versions of a large number of images. I like to do a color album and B&W album for example.
Previously, I would click on all the images at one, and select new version. The problem is this puts all of the new versions in a stack. I then have to open all the stacks, and one by one move the new versions to a different album. Is there any way to streamline this proccess? When it's only 10 images, it's no problem. When it's a few hundred (or more) its rather time consuming..
What I'm hoping for is a way to either automatically have new versions populate a separate album, or for a way to easily select all the new versions I create at one time, and simply move them with as few steps as possible to a new destination.
Thanks for any help,
Ricardo

Ricardo,
in addition to Kirby's and phosgraphis's excellent suggestions, you may want to use the filters to further restrict your versions to the ones you want to access.
For example, you mentioned
I like to do a color album and B&W album for example.
You could easily separate the color versions from the black-and-white versions by using the filter rule:
Adjustment includes Black&white
or
Adjustment does not include Black&white
With the above filter setting (Add rule > Adjustment includes Black&White) only the versions with Black&White adjustment are shown in the Browers. You could do similar to separate cropped versions from uncropped ones.
Regards
Léonie

Hi Paul What are your system specs. Raw files are usually quite large so the process could be draining your memory (RAM). Are you importing from camera or from your hard drive. In the case of the latter try importing one folder at a time or in smaller batches. You can select files and drag and drop into the organizer. You must drop on the dark gray area between the left and right side panels (if both panel are visible).

Problems with import slides powerpoint

Hello,
I have a problem with import slides from the powerpoint, when
I try to import, the computer blow.
What I can do?

there have been lots of issues regarding this, however, I
have found that if I export my ppt as individual jpeg slides I can
then use the "insert > Slide > Image Slide" command to bring
in my ppt slides, I have tried everything else as well but what was
happening to me was Captivate 3 was losing all of my text and text
animation. Now my animation is not critical, however, the text is
very important of course. So now I have stagnat slides, a bit
boring but at least I was able to finish my project.
Hope this helps.
Tony :)

How do I globally set in and out points on a large number of images?

As the post asks: How do I globally set in and out points on a large number of images before sending to the timeline? In AVID I can do this in the Script view. How do I do it in FCP?
Thanks in advance

Thanks. I assumed I needed to set in and out points. I have not done an image sequence in FCP. If I have a 10 second image and a 2 second transition, but then change the duration of the transition to say 4 seconds then FCP will let me alter the transition duration?
With regards to movie clips, what happens with setting global in and out points? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance

Canvas Resize to Square for a large number of images using script. E.g. image is currently 1020 x 600, I would like to change this to 1020 x 600. PLEASE HELP

Hi All,
I have a large number of images that I need to resize the canvas sizes to a square, the images are currently in different sizes. For example, if an image is 1020 x 600 I would like to change the canvas to 1020 x 1020 so that the image becomes a square. I am using CS3 and all the images are jpeg's. I have done research on scripts but the ones I have tried have not worked. Please help.
Thanks.

Since you do not want to crop your images to a square 1:1 aspect ratio changing the canvas to be square will not make your images square they will retain their Aspect Ratio and image size will be changer to fit within your 1020 px square. There will be a border or borders on a side or two borders on opposite sides. You do not need a script because Photoshop ships with a Plug-in script to be used in Actions. What is good about Plugins is the support Actions. When you record the action the plug-in during action recording records the setting you use in its dialog into the actions step. When the Action is played the Plug-in use the recorded setting an bypasses displaying its dialog. So the Action can be Batch. The Action you would record would have two Steps. Step 1 menu File>Automate>Fit Image... in the Fit Image dialog enter 1020 in the width and height fields. Step 2 Canvas size enter 1020 pixels in width and height not relative leave the anchor point centered it you want even borders on two sides set color to white in the canvas size dialog. You can batch the action.
The above script will also work. Its squares the document then re-sizes to 1020x1020 the action re-sizes the image to fit with in an area 1020 x 1020 then add any missing canvas. The script like the action only process one image so it would also need to be batched. Record the script into and action and batch the action. As the author wrote. The script re size canvas did not specify an anchor point so the default center anchor point is uses like the action canvas will be added to two sides.

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
Thanks for your help

Most phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).
