Proper way to backup after jumping/editing in Photoshop

I understand that backuping my catalog will save all my adjustments in Lightroom.  However, I jump over to edit externally in Photoshop often.  I understand that to create a Tiff file next to my original file.  However, isn't just backing up the catalog missing the Tiff file now in the backup?

No, it isn't.
If you do nothing in Lr to your TIFF, the file name and location will be stored in the catalog.
And, if you do edits in Lr on top of your edits in Photoshop, these will bestored in the catalog, too.
If you put the TIFF in a Lr collection that will reflect in the catalog.
Backing up the catalog does not back up your images (neither your TIFFs, nor your Raw files). The catalog is the data base of Lr that is a separate file and stored in a different location than your images. So a catalog backup makes a backup of the data base but not a backup of your image files.

  • Problem with filters not finding an image in LR 4.0 after being edited in Photoshop CS6 beta

    I am running Lightroom 4.0 on a Win7 Professional 64-bit system. I have come up with a strange problem I can describe but don't know how it can more generally be duplicated, unless this is a Photoshop CS6 beta bug.
    I am looking through in Library module at a shoot. When I filter by a keyword that some of the pictures have, a recently edited image does not show up. Here is what I mean; let X=IMG_6260:
    1) For X.CR2, edit in Photoshop CS5. All works well - X-ed.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
    2) Clicking on X-ed.tif, edit in Photoshop CS6 beta. All seems fine - X-ed-2.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
    3) The keywords on all three images - the original and the two edits - are the same. I can confirm that by, in grid view, selecting these three and noting no asterisks in the composite keyword view. One of the keywords is the person's name - let's say it is "Sara".
    4) Now, when I click in the keyword list on "Sara", all images in this most recently imported set show up with her *except* X-ed-2.tif - the one created by CS6 beta.
    Strange! Should this be reported in a CS6 forum? Thanks.

    Yep, it returns nothing. Debug output seems to be largely irrelevant except this oddity:

  • Why can´t I sync fotos with their previous version in lightroom after doing editations in Photoshop?

    Hi!
    - I have a RAW-foto in Lightroom, that I already edited with lightroom tools (Clarity, colour, whitebalance etc.)
    - I have to edit some things in Photoshop, so I rightclick and choose "Edit in photoshop) (CTRL+E)
    - A version without my lightroom editations openes in photoshop, I do my editations there
    - I save the pic in photoshop, and it is imported to my lightroom catalogue as a PSD file, being stacked with the original. - so far so good, now the problem:
    - if I select the new and the original version (RAW+PSD file) and try syncing my lightroom editations to the PSD file, the colour changes completely, and there are even some spot removals going through the face of the model, that DO NOT EXIST in the original photo that I´m syncing from!!! WHY!?!?!? I really dont get it..
    See the here on my Dropbox for better understanding (for some reason I cannot upload the pics directly here):
    Dropbox - adobe help
    Thank you for your appreciated help

    TThe sync process you're describing is not how it should work. When you edit in Photoshop with Ctrl-E, Lightroom, should pass the raw file plus the XMP data for your edits over to Photoshop. Photoshop uses its Camera Raw engine to render those changes and you should see a background layer that has all your edits included.
    the fact that you're not seeing the edits in Photoshop makes me suspicious that you have an older version of Photoshop (with an older Camera Raw). What version of LR and PS are you using? If you're using an older Photoshop, here,s what to do:
    Normally, you'd see a warning dialog box that would give you the option to "Render in Lightrom," but you may have turned this off. To reset, go to Edit > Preferences > General, and choose the button to "Reset all Warning Dialogs."
    Once you do that, opening in an older version of Photoshop will trigger a warning that will allow you the choice to "open anyway," or "render in Lightroom."  You should choose to render in Lightroom.

  • Previews after an edit in photoshop - bad color

    OK, Monitor is calibrated. Images look fine in lightroom after import. Then I make some adjustments in the Develop module and pass the file off to photoshop CS2. I save the file and it shows up in lightroom as an (filename)-edit.psd. Great except that the color in the thumbnail and the preview is NOT the same as what it looks like in photoshop. If I reopen the image in photoshop it looks fine, but if I export the images from Lightroom it looks like the bad image I see in lightroom. All of the color spaces are set to ProRGB.
    Anyone know what is happening?

    You can also choose 'ZIP' Image Compression in both the LR and/or PS Save dialogue. If adding layers also choose 'ZIP' under Layers Compression. This will typically reduce the file size by ~25-50%.
    5D MKII files
    Raw           25MB
    TIFF        100 MB
    TIFF (ZIP) 75 MB
    Another option is to setup a second editor using PS 32bit, assuming you have both PS 64 bit and 32bit installed. Don't make any radical Histogram changes in PS (Curves/Levels) using the 8 bit/color JPEG, or you may get some banding artifacts. It's usually better to make these adjustments in LR anyhow.
    I have my LR4 2nd Editor setup to use PS 32 bit, primarily because some of my plugins are only 32 bit.  I use TIFF 16 bit ProPhoto RGB for my second editor, but you can certainly use JPEG as below.

  • After i edit in photoshop and save back to lightroom, the new pic doesn't save next to the old

    it usually saves to the front of my quick collection (annoying) but after I open and close lightroom a few times, it gets lost altogether (inserted somewhere in the middle)

    In the Library Module go >View >Sort and check <Filename> and <Ascending> or <Descending> whichever you prefer.

  • Remove CS5 ACR PV2010 plugin so "Edit In Photoshop" uses LR4's current PV2012...

    ...so LR4 doesn't create a copy of the image.
    New to LR4 coming from using CS3 Bridge>ACR>Photoshop leaving only an xmp file icon to indicate in Bridge thumbnails the image has been edited.
    I liked that workflow but LR4 which I bought to use its PV2012 processing engine gets the Raw engine mismatch Preference dialog box after choosing "Edit In Photoshop" that forces you to either choose the Raw image rendered with CS5 PV2010 engine (I upgraded to) or create a copy in LR4 to use its PV2012 engine. I want to avoid the copy being made and still use LR4's PV2012 and I don't want to have to export the file which defeats the copied file issue.
    If I removed CS5's ACR plugin version from its folder registry would this make that happen?
    I probably already know the answer to what's going to happen but thought I'ld just throw it out there in case someone already tried it.

    I'm aware of all that, ssprengel, but that's not what I'm talking about.
    I can see no one is going to be able to confirm the title of this topic to see what happens removing CS5's ACR plugin and sending a Raw file to Photoshop using "Edit In Photoshop" in LR4.
    I guess I should point out the fact about keeping two Raw engines up-to-date in two separate editing apps requires both Photoshop and LR to be on parity which means you have to keep upgrading Photoshop while using LR or else create copies in LR so you can open them in old versions of Photoshop.
    It sort of defeats the xmp workflow strategy where now the user has to make a copy for every image they want to work on in old versions of Photoshop where if they don't they lose the PV2012 processing. I'm on that upgrade hump where I had to pay for LR and now CS6 upgrade to get the Raw engine PV2012 processing on parity.
    Or else stay out of Photoshop all together which is an option. It's a PITA If users want to work on a Raw file in Photoshop as it works out of Bridge users have to keep buying upgrades to Photoshop with each upgrade to LR if by chance LR PV20xx improves forcing the user to keep two reduntant Raw editors.
    Here's an idea since ACR is a plugin and not really part of Photoshop, why not make LR a plugin or come up with some kind of code structure that mimics this so we don't have this battle of the Raw engine version upgrade parity issue.

    Are the videos being stored in iMovie or another application? Have you exported/shared the video? If the video is in iMovie what version of iMovie are you using?

  • Undoable edits: Proper way to invoke an edit the first time

    Hello,
    I am currently using the undoable edit package of swing. While everything works fine i am using a kind of strange way to add UndoableEdits to the UndoManager.
        public void addEditInvoked(UndoableEdit edit) {
            edit.undo();
            edit.redo();
            addEdit(edit);
        }I do this because the "hasBeenDone" and "alive" flags within "AbstractUndoableEdit" are set both to true in the constructor and so i am only able to "undo()" the edit after adding it to the UndoManager. But what i would like to do is to add the edit to the UndoManager and the UndoManager invokes the edit, so that the edit is applied to the editable component for the first time (Invoking redo).
    So: What is the proper way to apply an edit to the component before adding or while adding it to the UndoManager?
    Regards,
    aphex

    Read [Implementing Undo and Redo|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html#undo].
    Basically, you edit your component in some way (in the same way you would without supporting undoability). After the component has been edited, you create an appropriate UndoableEdit instance, put it into an UndoableEditEvent, and fire the event. (Do not use the UndoableEdit to modify your component in the first place.)

  • Any way to force Time Machine to use existing backup after inheriting?

    Hi,
    The hard drive in my iMac failed last week, and a replacement drive as well as a new logic board were installed.  I installed OS X onto the new drive and then used Setup Assistant to recover all data from my Time Machine backup.  Of course, once everything was back in place, Time Machine wouldn't recognize the backup as its own (per Pondini's site, this is because the logic board replacement makes Time Machine think it's a whole new computer).
    To resolve this, I issued the Terminal command to inherit a backup, but this wasn't enough so I also issued the command to associate a backup with the computer.  This seemed to work, and I was able to kick off a new backup.  Time Machine did a complete scan and determined that it needed to back up everything on the computer as new.  Because there's not enough space on the Time Capsule, it then started deleting old backups, one after another, until I noticed what was going on and stopped it after a couple hours.
    So my question is this: is there a way to get Time Machine to use the old backup data to do an incremental backup?  I'm not sure why it thinks it has to save everything; I could see it saving a copy of the OS, since that was installed from scratch, but all the user account data has been restored from backup so it should match what's in Time Machine.  If there's no way to do this then I guess I'll just delete the Time Machine archive and start over, but for versioning purposes it would be nice to have the old Time Machine archive data.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Linc.
    What happened is I needed to retrieve something from Time Machine prior to starting a backup (the first backup after restoring everything).  However, Time Machine wouldn't connect to the Time Capsule, so that is why I used the tmutil commands.  Probably if I had instead started a backup then it would have asked me if I wanted to inherit.
    Well, if there's no way to avoid a full copy then I guess I'll delete the archive and start over.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • What is the Proper way to nullify the VECTOR after it's scope is over

    I am using Vectors and Array lists at many places in my Web Application, It is neccessary to use them.
    In some processes I m storing bulk amount of data into vector due to that the performance of my application will be decreased, for that I have to nullify the vector after it's scope is over.
    To nullify I m using Vector v = new Vector()
    v.clear().
    The above method is suitable in case of simple object data like strings and other values.
    But I wanna know that If I m using HashMap and storing bulk data in it and then I m storing each HashMap into vector, what is the proper way.
    Does I have to iterate each object of HashMap from vector and set them as null and then set vector as null or directly I can use v.clear() method??
    If any having any answer regarding my question then plz reply your each valuable reply will be appriciable.
    Thanks in advance......!!

    Thats why I m nullifying it.
    Even if I'll declare it out side the loop then also for the each iteration I have to nullify it cause what I m doing is I m inserting the data into database in each iteration of loop, So that I think it is must to nullify the objects each time.If it is constructed inside the loop then you do not have to nullify it. If it is constructed outside of the loop and you want to empty it for each iteration then just clear() it.

  • What is the proper way to demote a Win 2003 Domain Controller running SQL Server 2008 WorkGroup Edition?

    Hi, 
    What is the proper way to demote a Windows 2003 Domain Controller running SQL Server 2008 WorkGroup Edition? 
    I will be migrating AD from Win 2003 to 2012....
    Thanks in advanced. 

    Running SQL on a domain controller is highly not recommended for performance reasons and for complexities it introduces in the management of both systems (You are already facing this situation now).
    I would recommend proceeding like the following before demoting your domain controller:
    Install a new SQL server on a member server
    Migrate your databases to the new SQL server
    Once done, you can safely demote your DC.

    What is the proper way to reinstall iTunes after error 42404 without losing all my music?

    Here's what I do when I have iTunes problems and it works 9 out of 10 times.  I have Ccleaner; It's a wonderful tool to have.  If you don't have it, google it and install it, just the free version.  You'll see the list of all of your installed programs in there to unstall (among of a host of other things you could do with that program) but anyway, right click on Apple Software first to repair, when done then right click on Apple Application Support to repair, then when done with that, right click on iTunes to repair that and all should be well after that.  No uninstall should be necessary at all when you do all that.

    You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.
