Thousands of unwanted images in catalog

how can i rid my catalog from including unwanted icon images?

Simply delete them from Organizer.
Nothing gets deleted from your hard drive unless you say so.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

From the created on (time) in EM--> security --> resources --> , I can find the images_200908131131/ is the first image for APEX.
And now I configured anonymous OK. APEX works.
I think it still uses the images_200908131131/.
And I think I have created a unwanted images/.
How can I remove it?
And is there a way to prevent link to http://localhost/. Generally, we access http://localhost/apex/f?p:APP_ID:..
If I don't want user to link http://localhost/ to find the file catalog listed above, What can I do?
Thanks advance.

Hi,
I don't use thumbnails but I went ahead and turned them on.
Perhaps due to the position of the slideshow only a few thumbnails appeared.
I wasn't able to delete the image I wanted removed.
I tried to remove the image from my assets, and that deleted the whole slide show.
( didn't save the changes )
thanks,

I seem to have lost my original images and unwanted images have moved into my library. I couldn't access lightroom 3 as usual and was provided a default option which I clicked. I ely heavily on lightroom and have spent countless hours fixing images, ple.

Hi, I seem to have lost my original images and unwanted images have moved into my library. I couldn't access lightroom as I would normally and was provided with a default option which I clicked. This all occured while I was trying to free up space on my computer while viewing saved images on my hard drive, which are linked up directly to a photoshop elements program. Please tell me this can be fixed.....

Hi there,
I don't believe I did move or delete my catalogue. Where can I look for my catalog file. Why does my Lightroon now contain more images and ones I don't want on it, without my physically importing them?
Thanks
Pablo

Unwanted images

Unwanted images that happen to be downloaded from various sources are being saved in Iphoto. This started with the new ILife 11 download. Is there a setting to stop that from happening?

Yes, don't import them? But I suspect that's not quite the issue. Can you explain more?

How would an Apple fan keep unwanted images out of Photostream in IOS 8?

So Apple decides that people don't need an uncluttered thumbnail view of all photos stored in their iPhone in IOS 8. And the UI geniuses also decide that the concept of cloud (aka "server side" in 90's terms) storage and local storage is just too much for the average iPhone user to grasp.
The UI design choices that sprung from this mindset have reduced usability, efficiency, but more importantly the family friendly reputation that Apple trades on in nearly all of their marketing material.
Finding images (particularly when you have thousands) in the Years/Collections/Moments(Maps too!) paradigm is ridiculously inefficient compared to a scrolling screen with rows upon rows of thumbnails touching each other in chronological order. Of course we can quibble about whether the chronology should be based on file creation dates or EXIF metadata but those are decisions that we don't get in the IOS world (yes, another complaint). My main point here is that they had no reason to get rid of Camera Roll. Why can't it exist alongside the YCMM world of dates/locations and useless search tools? Let's face it, the new Recently Added Album is just a silly smart folder as are all the other albums. Why can't I change the 30 day date range to one of my choosing? Or why can't I add what Apple would call a Smart Album into my Albums just as I can add Cro-Mag dumb albums that need constant updating? This would bring back that good old Camera Roll functionality so people not confused by cloud vs local and like to keep track of their original image files could be happy. And the people that need Simple would be happy too.
But back to my original query. I use my iPhone for many purposes including work. I also take iPhone screenshots for work. I also take a lot of pictures and not all of those images should be in my family and sharing oriented personal Photostream. After all Apple, you sold me an Apple TV which I can fire up and share my recent life experiences with others. Why the heck would I want product photography, conference room whiteboard pics, iPhone wallpaper, and all the different images that are not the "selects" but that I want to archive using Lightroom or iPhoto anyway showing up IN MY FAMILY SLIDESHOWS? One of the benefits of digital imaging is the cheap cost of creating and storing many images. I use my iPhone often as I would a DSLR and I frequently shoot many images that are very similar, sometimes using burst mode in the phone. Why would you force me to completely delete images that are not "favorites/selects" just so I can maintain a decent slideshow via Photostream? Why do you not want me to have pleasing wallpaper downloaded via the sundry App Store wallpaper apps? Any new wallpaper I add will now be in the Photostream. Yes, family dinner with the Apple TV slideshow showing images of cars, puppies, clouds, and abstract patterns interspersed with the trip to the pool last weekend sure makes for some great viewing!
This is because you also killed the Photostream album view and I can no longer delete unwanted Photostream images unless I also want to completely delete the image local to the iPhone. If you go to the YCMM (Years/Collections/Moments/Maps) Photo tab there is no way to treat the local image separately from the cloud based Photostream image. This is absurd. You can't pitch Photostream as a lifestyle feature since you now prevent editing and curating this very audience specific collection of images. It's as if you forgot that a huge number of iPhone users are creative professionals! And we use our iPhones for professional purposes as well as personal.
Not to mention that this design choice HUGELY increases the probability of "inappropriate" photos being uploaded to the cloud and lost control over through hacking or just user misunderstanding of how iCloud and Photostream works. Amazing that Apple would do this considering the recent scandal.
So now I'll answer my own original question with a lame "workaround" answer. And yes, it involves a lot more work as opposed to the couple of touches that I used frequently in IOS 7 and earlier to curate my Photostream right on my iPhone: You have to have another IOS device (pre IOS 8) and delete the images from Photostream from there. Or use iPhoto to do the same. So add yet another task to your Reminders app that is now much more of a hassle.
Apple, for the love of Pete, please don't take away control over my source image files and my ability to create collections of images for different purposes.
Thanks.

Excellently well put and accurate. The answer of course is that Apple want us to rent vast lumps of storage from them. Your point about appropriate images is well made. It's not just **** either but maybe legitimate images that you don't want shared out in the world, such as your wife and daughters caught on camera whilst sunbathing topless in the security of a private villa on holiday. That could prove embarrassing to them if they found their way out into the public domain, easily done by accident from a phone. The fact is that Apple have decided for pure commercial gain to take control of our means of controlling and storing our images. I shoot mainly portraits of my extended family and Landscapes. I don't want to share my images across mobiles etc, I want to sell them or give them to family members myself . Apple you are losing the plot here and alienating your core supporters.

Thousands of strange images on iPhoto what are they?

I tried to down load my pics in iphoto into a file I could put on an external hard drive for back up. Now i have thousands of images some of which are called resources,water color text mat , uk.iprog ect. What are they & how do I make them go away? I'm vexed and bewildered.

It sounds like the hard drive was accidently dragged into the iPhoto window or onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock. If you downloaded your pics into a new library try starting over with a new library and see if you can avoid those images.

Moving Images and Catalog Questions...

Since I first started using Lighroom, I have kept all images in one catalog on my laptop hard drive. It was time to change that and move all images to my NAS, further backing up a copy of all to another external drive, and keeping some copies of images on my laptop for when I am undocked and want to show my best work.
Seemed the only way to do this was to use two catalogs, so I created a new one for the images on the NAS.
After checking that all was good and making a backup of the Laptop catalog, I copied the master folder of all images and sidecars to the NAS. I then opened the new catalog which was empty and imported all from the new location.
So, now I have two catalogs and both backed up as catalogs and complete image sets so I am good no matter what. Let's call them Laptop and Network. I have not yet deleted anything on the Laptop.
Network found not only all images, but somehow 21 more than on the Laptop. Cannot figure out how the number of images could be different, but they are. Not really a problem, but a curiousity, no?
All edits are there. Images look identical to Laptop. Keywords, image titles, folders - all perfect.
But here are my questions:
I lost my edit histories. By this I mean if I compare an edited RAW image on Laptop. I can see the original image before I started to edit. This is sometimes very helpful. On the Network catalog, it shows the current image and does not have the original preview. The laptop catalog shows the original and current state.
And I lost my collections. Not the end of the world, but would be so nice to not have to rebuild these.
So, is there any way to get these two back? Let's assume, for a moment, that both catalogs are identical (even though there is that 21 image difference). Can I do something with the catalogs or the Previews folder that would bring back the collections and original pre-edit images?
I thought it worth checking before I start to delete images through Lightroom on the Laptop Catalog and continue to edit on the Network catalog. Anything? Export as catalog and replace the .lrcat and rename it? Copy over the root-pixels.db? Any trick?
And last, if anyone is reading, a feature request:
Would be nice to have a preference to select the number of backups to keep. For example, if I could set it to ten, I would never have to worry at all abotu backing up after each session and going to delete old backups no longer needed.
Thanks for any advice. Posted this on several boards hoping someone might reply before I start to edit again later today. Apologize if you see this in multiple places.
~Bob

You are actually exactly right.
I spent the morning deleting all I had done on the NAS drive and exporting as a catalog with negatives to the NAS. It now has everything I wanted there including the history and collections.
Took a while to get there, but works just fine now and I have two catalogs - one portable and one server based with the .ircat on the laptop for both. Not the most intuitive, but done.
Thanks.

IPhoto - unwanted images imported

Images that were on my iMac were imported into iPhoto when I was turned on the "Look up places" function.
The locations of where my photos were taken were not showing up on the iPhoto map. I went to preferences and went to the advanced settings. I went to "Look up Places" and toggled from "Never" to "Automatically". The number of places started incrementing. Soon, some of the places were shown on the map. The process continued for a long time, however. It must have been over an hour. When the process was done, iPhoto was very sluggish. Switching from one photo to often took more than 10 seconds. The number of images listed in iPhoto increased from around 2000 to more than 13,000. It appeared that 75 gigabytes of storage was used in iPhoto. I rebooted the iMac and the storage now indicates 45.5 GB. The number of images stayed at more than 13,000.
There are images from graphics like letter heads, arrows, etc., along with bitmaps and jpegs that I have not uploaded with my camera or iPad, but that were on the iMac. I don't understand what initiated the process since all I did was change to automatically looking up the GPS information on photos. I have not been able to find any large folder that has thousands of files in it.
The machince has iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424) and OS X 10.85.
I would like to know what caused the problem and if there is a way to automatically return to where I started.

Relaunch & Optimize program removed images and catalog

I had just imported a about 500 images. The response to commands was very slow so decided to implement the Relaunch and Optimize program. Suddenly the catalog and images disappeared. As I relaunch Lightroom, I noticed all but one catalog had disappeared.
The only thing that I can think of is to uninstall Lightroom 1.1 program and reinstall it. My question is what other files do I remove in addition to the actual program which is in applications section?
Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. It seems to me that Lightroom has some major bugs.
Russ Tracey

Hi Lee,
I had six catalogs. When I started the Launch and Optimize program, all of the catalogs disappeared except one with no images.
Do I uninstall? If so, what files do I throw in the trash?

Images for Catalogs

I was just wondering what image format would work best for a catalog that I plan on making available on a website and disk in pdf format. I typically work with jpegs but have been finding that a lot of the original part photos from a previous catalog are saved as tiffs. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

That comes in two steps.
Professionals prefer TIFFs over JPEG because JPEGs
i do
cause artifacts to show up -- it's a part of the specification. While ordinarily not visible (at least with a moderate compression, not *lowest*) in full colour pictures, these artifacts may appear at sharp colour boundaries, visible as discoloured boxes of about 8 x 8 pixels. TIFF, on the other hand, uses a
i lossless
compression scheme, meaning what gets out is exactly what went in. Or, well, obviously not if you use JPEG compression inside the TIFFs -- use LZW or RLE (where LZW is the better one).
So now you have lossless compressed pictures going
i into
your InDesign -- but the Export as PDF dialog
i also
has some image compression settings, and, oh no! its default for "High Quality" images is "Automatic (JPEG)". So change this as well to LZW.
It's no use changing the down-sample settings for above-450 dpi pictures, you might as well set that to 300 dpi as well. Any downsampling
i towards
300 dpi doesn't do no harm, unless you are preparing a
i very
high quality catalog (and I'm assuming you are not, since it has to be downloadable from the web).
Note: it's also
b useless
to
i change
an image from JPEG to TIFF if you're already seeing artifacts. Not entirely, as the image quality will not deteriorate any further (on each 'save as JPEG' command), but it will not magically get any better. Your entire workflow, from the originals on, should be lossless.
You will find that the produced PDFs are a mite larger than previous, but now you have a choice at least: putting up with a larger file, or consciously choosing for JPEG and creating a smaller file.

Bug: LR3 unable to import some images from catalog

I've apparently encountered an odd bug in Lightroom that is preventing the "Import from Catalog..." feature from working on some files, or more specifically, one directory. I'm trying to merge images from my laptop catalog to my desktop catalog (e.g. Y:\LaptopPictures to F:\SourcePictures). When I attempted to import images from 2009 and 2010 the 2009 images imported correctly, but the 2010 images triggered an error: "Lightroom was unable to copy the files for these images to the folder you selected. \\Users\me\Pictures\2010\...". Note that the path "\\Users\me\Pictures\2010..." does not match the source or destination locations for the catalog import. Also, during the import the 2010 images were not correctly identified as duplicates.
Once all of the 2009 images were imported, an attempt to re-import the catalog causes the "File Handling:" option to omit the "copy" option, only giving me the "add without moving" and "don't import new photos" options.
It would appear that Lightroom is somehow getting confused for images dated 2010, perhaps related to a previous import where I accidentally imported pictures into \\Users\me\Pictures (instead of my media drive). Finally I tried a straight import of the images, and Lightroom was able to correctly identify duplicates and import the images, and then a subsequent import from catalog appears to have successfully copied over ratings and keywords. So, it's not catastrophic, but it's still an extremely annoying issue.
Has anyone seen an issue like this before? Is there some magical hidden email address for submitting Lightroom bugs?

This doesn't appear to be a network issue since: a) I hadn't encountered this problem using network-mapped drives in Lightroom before, and b) the process works for other files outside of 2010. In general, Lightroom has performed wonderfully over the network, with a gigabit ethernet connection far outperforming an external drive. To confirm my hypothesis, I did copy the entire Lightroom catalog over to the destination machine, and I saw exactly the same problem. Interestingly, I did another test where I exported a 2010 image to a new catalog, and it was able to import correctly, so it's possible that there is something going on with the "working" catalog that is confusing Lightroom on my desktop. Although these workarounds help, the bug remains the same: importing from one catalog to another is not working on a subset of files for some unknown reason. Of course, the end result of this will most likely not be Adobe finding a fix for the bug, but instead will be me spending several hours re-exporting and re-importing and manually cleaning up metadata and duplicates, which is disappointing.

LR5 on creative cloud - best way to share images and catalogs with team members

I want to establish a central image library of product photos. I need team members to be able to see these images. I have a CC account for teams.
Sould I creae a file repository in the Cloud and then create local LR catalogs for each person on their local machines...or can I also create a single catalog, stor it in the cloud and have everyone be able to open it locally?
There is quite a lot of contradictory info on this out there!
Any help or better suggestions, would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Andrew

Lightroom is not designed to be used by multiple users. A Lightroom Catalog can only be in use by a single user at any point in time. When a Lightroom Catalog is opened the program creates a file with the catalog name and with a .lock extension. This file prevents any use of the Catalog file and will automatically be deleted when Lightroom is closed. See the screen capture.
To be specific a "Lightroom License" is a single user license so if there are more than one user, a license would need to be purchased for each user.
In addition the Catalog file cannot be resident on a network it requires a physical connect to the computer.
The actual image files can be on a network so that part should not create a problem.

Deleting images from catalog

If I delete images from the catalog will it also delete them from any projects, albums or slideshows I have created

Put colored rubber bands around each digit, and color code the keys to match.....
