Resetting numbering in Lightroom 1.3

Is there a possibility to reset the numbering in Lightroom 1.3 when importing images from a Card or something similar. Or is that not a feature in Lightroom 1.3?

Judith -
I am not suggesting that files not be renamed.
What I am saying is that in order to have a trusty workflow you really don't want to combine a bunch of steps into one.
My workflow is somewhat as follows:
a) Copy files from card to hard drive. Each complete card goes into a different folder.
b) Copy files from hard drive to cheap DVD or another hard drive "just in case". Now I don't have to worry about reusing a card.
c) If using multiple cameras, calculate time offsets to verify that they are all in sync. Adjust time in each folder so the photos from different cameras all have the same time reference and they will 'mesh' properly together.
d) RENAME files in each folder according to time and photographer code (the photographer code gives press agents that we work with an easy way to provide attribution without having to use an IPTC aware system... the file name says it at a glance.)
e) Combine renamed files from different folders into a master folder.
f) IMPORT into Lightroom. Inspect that the number of files adds up and that everything got imported correectly.
g) Apply base IPTC to photos (in LR database) now that I can actually see them properly. The export will eventually stamp the IPTC into the final files.
h) Backup master folder to hard drive or DVD. I now have two different backups (one before and one after renaming) and one set of renamed files that are actually referenced in LR.
I could try to combine applying IPTC, renumbering , etc into a single step while downloading the photos from the cards... but that is MUCH more error prone than just adding an extra 15 minutes and doing things one thing at a time and verifying that they are coming out correctly and make sense.

  • How to reset numbers in real time display in Cisco Supervisor Desktop?

    Hi all,
    I wonder about numbers in real time display in Cisco Supervisor Desktop. There are many statistic number for example : Call Handled, Max Talking, Avg Talking, Max Ready, Total Ready, Call abandoned, etc. Is there any way to reset those numbers back to zero? Please let me know.
    Thank you.

    Joe,
    I haven't tried that, but I'm very skeptical. The CAD Agent gets stats from two places - CTIOS and RASS. RASS keeps the call log information in a SQL Desktop Engine database.
    Stats derived from CTIOS reset at midnight. Obviously, restarting the RASS service has no effect on those. Call log information is being kept in a database so it seems to me that a restart of RASS should also have no effect.
    I guess I will have to try for myself.

  • Help with Resetting Preferences in Lightroom

    I have a new iMac OS-X 10.8  ..  I am having trouble with the Adjustment Brush [basically the sliders are not functioning correctly].     I have previously fixed the problem by resetting the Preferences, that is "deleting" the com.adobelightroom.plist file, then restarting Lightroom.       However I've gone to Library, Preferences on the new iMac and I can't see any .plist file for Adobe Lightroom 3 or Adobe Photoshop CS.5.
    I also have Lightroom 4 loaded on the same computer but can't even see any com.Adobe ... .plist files for that either???
    Am I looking in the wrong place  ..  
    HELP!!       I might add that this Adjustment Brush problem seems to reoccur regularly????
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    You may need to unhide some folders so that you can see Library under your User Name. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4176215?start=0&tstart=0 then you should be able to navigate to it.

  • Problem with serial numbers for Lightroom 5

    I bought a physical copy of Lightroom 5, 38 days ago. As my Mac doesn't have a CD driver, I downloaded the 30 days trial version on Adobe website and now my trial time is over I try to enter the serial number I had with the physical package I bought 38 days ago and it doesn't work. Take in note than I converted the serial number from the box (serial number with letters and numbers) into a the active serial number on Adobe website (serial number with numbers only) 38 days ago. This ''active serial number'' doesn't work now ..

    I figured out than my ''active serial number'' was too old. Now I have a new one and I don't know what to do with it. I login Lightroom 5 and my development page is blocked .. It's written I know have 29 days left remaining for my trial version of Lightroom... I have an activation number, what does I do with it know ?

  • Resetting numbering of markers

    I was going to create chapter markers today for DVD Studio Pro after deleting some markers. When I created the new set. They started from Marker 9. I changed it to 1, the next defaulted to 10. I tried restarting the program. That did not work. Anyone know?

    DVDSP keeps a record of the markers used in the file. Just because you delete them does not remove them from the records.
    If it really bugs you, create a new DVDSP file, import your assets and start over.

    Simple question.. Does your posting deal with an APEX issue or a BI Publisher issue? The posting you have deals with the RTF add-on for Word that builds report layouts for BI Publisher. I suggested in my response that you move it to a more relevant forum..
    If you feel that me alerting you to the fact your are VIOLATING forum policy is an issue, please feel free to ask others their view.. (posting to a 3 year old closed thread, creating MULTIPLE threads for a single issue..) You do NOT seem to get the idea that posting this in the Bi Publisher support forum would probably get you a BETTER response than here.. Asking pl/sql questions here will also get people to refer your questions to the PL/Sql Support forum..
    Also, here is a POSSIBLE answer from the BI Publisher Forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=594805

    You know, I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?

  • Lightroom 5.5 & Lightroom Mobile (iPhone 5) Sync Issues

    So far I have been having nothing but issues getting Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom 5.5 to sync with one another.  This is admittedly the first time I've tried this since I don't have the iPad version.  I tried a sync yesterday for the first time from my phone and had an import of around 650 images and I had set Lightroom Mobile to sync only over Wifi.  Started syncing ok, but I guess I roamed away from my Wifi for a bit and that completely messed up the sync process.  Not only did it not finish the sync, but it somehow corrupted the app to the point where the entire app had to be deleted from the iPhone 5 and re-installed.
    This seemed to just present more problems for Lightroom.  There appears to be a default album called "iPhone Photos" that seems to never be found again through setup of a new instance of Lightroom.  Instead, I my account is now up to "iPhone Photos 4" now in the count.  In addition, only about 600 of the 650 photos synced up to the cloud and now Lightroom 5.5 for the desktop is stuck with 210 photos left to import and my computer has been sitting like this for close to an hour this morning.  Is there anyway to troubleshoot what is going on or to completely reset one's Lightroom account to start this back to the beginning.  So far this is a very frustrating update for something that sounded so promising to begin with.

    Greule,
    When the sync was interrupted on the iPhone the application suddenly crashed.  I attempted to re-open and was presented with a crash report pop up window that asked me to send a report or not send.  Unfortunately, that pop-up forced the app to shut down.  I then tried a manual force close of the iPhone app, (double click the home button and swipe the app away from memory) and while the app appeared to re-launch itself from scratch, it ended up at that report send pop up and shut down.  In the end, I was forced to go to the data management settings in the iPhone and attempted to delete the data and in the end, I deleted the app and re-downloaded from the app store to fix.
    I did just do the "Delete all Data" from the Desktop preferences and it seems it cleared out the collection that was online.  I tried to setup a new collection with the same name, but it appears that the Lightroom online library is preventing name duplication even when another catalog with the same name no longer exists in the account and ended up with an incremental number increase on the collection name.  Now that the collection is gone, if I try to re-sync with my Photo Library from my iPhone will it act as a traditional Lightroom import where duplicate files are scanned for before import?  Or do I have to manage that?
    To be honest, I was hoping for this to be an advanced replacement of the Photo Stream feature from Apple, but is that what this is supposed to be?

  • Lightroom Catalogue external drive to be accessed by Mac and PC

    I have Mac 10.9.1 OS and Windows 7. I have Lightroom 5 Calatogue on external firewire drive currently running from the Mac. I want to open the catalogue from my Windows 7 Lightroom 5. I can open the catalogue, but cannot see the file structure in the left pane.
    Should I reformat the drive to be compatible with both platforms (after backing up of course)? What format options should I select? Is this done on the Mac or PC? Am I likely to run into any problems?
    For the last few years I ran the catalogue from the PC and Mac using a firewire external drive, but this has been replaced by a smaller physical drive which is better for my travels. I used Windows XP in those days and Snow Leopard.
    Thanks in advance. Gary Wornell

    It is surprising to me that you were able to get this far. If the drive is formated in HFS+ then you would not be able to view the files on the drive from Windows.
    Should I reformat the drive to be compatible with both platforms (after backing up of course)? What format options should I select? Is this done on the Mac or PC? Am I likely to run into any problems?
    Yes this is most likely the problem and the fix. Use Disk Utility on the Mac to confirm that the drive is currently formated with HFS+ which would be why it doesn't work in Windows.
    When reformatting you should use FAT or exFAT, either one will work. You can format the drive from Windows or Mac as both OSes can do it.
    If you want to avoid the headache of reformating you can do what johnbeardy said and purchase 3rd party software to add HFS+ support to Windows. Your options are Paragon or MacDrive. Normally I would be wary of this since file systems are something important that you don't want to use unreliable software for but Paragon and MacDrive both look reputable.
    Am I likely to run into any problems?
    I would be slightly concerned about sharing a Lightroom catalog between Windows and Mac. Hopefully Adobe does not do anything stupid to introduce incompabilities between the two platforms. Make sure to keep the version numbers of Lightroom close on the two machines.

  • How to maintain two sets of separate auto numbered tables?

    Hi everyone,
    Here is what I'm trying to do with FrameMaker and find impossible to do:
    I have to maintain two sets of different tables each starts with number 1 inside the table. So I created two paragraph tags with 'Auto Number' checked and applied to the two different tables. But the result is not what I want: the number inside one table continues from the other one, instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, ... and 1, 2, 3, 4... It is 1, 2, 3, 4...
    Am I doing anything wrong here? Must be, for it doesn not work.
    Thanks for any help.

    You're not doing anything wrong, just perhaps missing some of the details. FM autonumbering is a joy to work with once you've got the hang of it, and/but different from most other approaches. (and by "different", I don't just mean flexible and reliable)
    Broadly speaking, I'd say you have two options:
    define two styles for the numbering you use inside tables, let's say TableNumberStart and TableNumberContinue. Define autonumbering so that TableNumberStart uses <n=1> and TableNumberContinue uses <n+1>
    This works because you've made the extra effort yourself.
    use one style – let's say TableAnchor – to anchor each table, and another style – let's say TableNumber – for the numbering you use inside tables. Define autonumbering so that TableAnchor uses < =0>, and TableNumber uses <n+1>.
    This works because you've asked FM to make the effort for you :-} TableAnchor resets the counter to zero, and TableNumber increments it as required. Note: in the definition < =0> the space before the equals sign is essential. It keeps the counter from displaying on the page.
    While you're experimenting, read up on Series labels – so you can manage separate numbering for, say, tables and figures. And on Building blocks – I was so impressed the first time I managed to use numbered heading styles to reset numbering in a list …

  • ACR 5.5 & CS3 & Lightroom 2.5

    A couple of questions:
    1) It states that ACR 5.5 requires CS4, is there a way to get it to install / run in CS3? Sometimes what is stated is not always the final fact.
    I'm looking at installing LightRoom 2.5 (can't use LR3 on a G5 PPC) and the notes talk about how it links with ACR 5.5
    2) I'm using CS3 on a G5 dual PPC and want to install LR2.5. Are there any issues that I should be aware of because I'm using CS3 with ACR4.6
    thanks everyone....

    The last version of ACR that will work with Photoshop CS3 is version 4.6.  No, you can not get ACR 5.5 to work with Photoshop CS3.  As far as Lightroom goes, you want to install Lightroom 2.7.  That was the last version in the 2.x series, and will have the most up to date features and will support the most cameras.  Lightroom 2.5 specifically indicates that it is compatible with ACR 5.5 because the version numbers of Lightroom and ACR generally are synchronized.
    There shouldn't be any problems using Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2.7.  I still use Photoshop CS3 with Lightroom 3.3, and I don't have any problems, although I'm using Windows XP.  Occasionally, when I'm sending files to Photoshop, I'll get a reminder that Photoshop CS3 will not be able to read some of the Lightroom adjustments.  But that's okay, because I render TIF files that contain all of the Lightroom adjustments, and that is what I send to Photoshop.
    If you need support for newer cameras, you can always download the newest DNG converter and create DNG (Digital negative) copies of your raw images.  Lightroom will then be able to edit those DNG files.

  • Serial Number for Lightroom 5.7.1 HELP!

    When I bought my new camera, I got a package with CD's and serial numbers for Lightroom 5 and premiere elements 12. I only used the Lightroom one, and of course I lost the CD. I just recently formatted my hard drive and when I wanted to download Lightroom again (I thought I could do it online and just use the serial number that I had in this package) I got the 5.7.1 version. The serial number I already had did not work for this version. Can this be fixed or do I have to buy a new serial number?

  • Why does figure numbering re-start in each of my chapters?

    For some reason, figure numbering just stopped spanning chapters in my book.
    That is, the first figure in each chapter is labeled Figure 1. All chapters use same
    paragraph definitions for "Figure Caption," and that paragraph definition includes
    autonumbering. And when I generate an LOF file for the book, FM has no trouble
    finding them.
    This is a recent development because all the figures in the book used to be
    numbered correctly. I just can't figure out what changed.
    My figures are built this way: start with an anchored frame,  Import>File , then
    below the imported graphic frane itself, I insert a text frame and put the figure
    caption in it.
    I have never fiddled with any text flows in the book -- I just use whatever
    defaultes FM gave me
    As I said, this scheme used to work. Is there any way to explicitly
    tell FM to use continuous numbering?
    Cheers,
    JP

    Error,
    I still can't get figure numbers to continue but I did determine the following behavior.
    If I set numbering of a chapter via the book file to this:
    Chapter: Continue numbering
    Page: Continue numbering
    Paragraph:Continue numbering
    and then update the book file with Edit -> Update References, then heading numbering continues from the previous chapter (for example, chapter 3 starts with heading 3.6) but figure numbering restarts at 1.
    If I reset numbering of a chapter via the book file like this:
    Chapter: Continue numbering
    Page: Continue numbering
    Paragraph:Restart numbering
    the heading numbers immediately revert to 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and the figure numbers remain at 1, 2, 3.
    This is too frustrating. I can't spend any more time trying to figure this out so I'm going to switch to a <$chapnum>-<n+> format for figure numbers (and probably for tables too). I used to use that format at another company. At least it gives the user a clue as to what chapter the figure is in.
    Thanks for the suggestions.
    Yours,

  • Lightroom exporting to JPEG without Detail settings

    In Lightroom 3.3 (on OS X 10.6.4), when I export a photo with Detail  settings (noise reduction, etc) to JPEG, these settings are not in the JPEG.
    Am I doin it rong? This is illogical and frustrating.
    Library:
    Develop with Detail on:
    Develop with Detail off:
    Exported JPEG:
    They all appear to be a bit different, but the jump from Library/Develop with Detail on to JPEG is pretty drastic.

    I've been having a similar problem recently in Lightroom. At first I thought it was because I shot an event with fill-flash in daylight and I thought my white balance was messed up because of cross contamination of light. But, since that shoot 2 weeks ago EVERY other shoot (around 1,000 images) have been giving me very weird white balance problems. Essentially, my images seem "greyish" so, I boost temp and tint, I boost vibrance, I try all sorts of tweaking until the image looks passable, but not nearly my typical color and saturation look and feel. The processed images in Lightroom still seem a bit under saturated and just "not right." BUT, when I export them... they're OVER saturated - kinda like the numbers in Lightroom tell me the image should look. So, it seems that the display in Develop mode is under saturated and "off." But, I have no idea how to correctly compensate. I feel like I have some hidden setting set incorrectly - Any thoughts? Ideas greatly appreciated. If a screen grab would help I'll try that.

  • Lightroom exporting without LR adjustments

    I've been happily exporting my LR images, and they have always included what ever adjustments I had made in LR - crop, color, etc. Last week I needed a different cropping of an image. I made a virtual copy, then cropped, selected, and exported only to find that the exported image was the original show, without any cropping or any other adjustments.
    I needed the image quickly, so I just opened PS and edited manually, then saved for web.
    Today I added some images to LR, edited them, and exported. All the images were original, unedited versions. I've checked the export dialogs, and do not see any options to export without edits (as there is in the "Edit in" dialog).
    This lack pretty much cripples LR for me, as far as using it for any serious work. Anyone have this experience? Or more importantly, a fix?
