Using Lightroom for Event Photography

I use Lightroom for my entire workflow at events that I cover where I will import from multiple memory cards throughout the day.
One of my basic Import Settings will achieve 90% of what I need but I will still spend time with every customer, helping them choose the photographs that they want printing and I will crop, make adjustments etc.
This is fine until we get busy, then it is harder to spend the quality time with each customer.
My question is this:
How can I change my hardware setup so that I can have two or more laptops - or even tablets - where I can share these images for viewing with all synced adjustments etc.?
I can setup a local adhco network but i can not sync to the CC servers.
My competitors often have multiple screens where customers can browse, choose and even print images they want to buy.
I have tried simply exporting files to another laptop and viewing in a photo browser but this is clumsy, not ideal and takes up too much time.
i understand there are database issues preventing me from sharing a single catalogue but there must be some way I can do this.
I hate having customers waiting and sometimes leaving because they can not see their photos.
Thanks for any help

Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job.  This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box.  Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

    I have used lightroom for ~2 years and have lightroom 5.5 installed on a PC. Yesterday evening I uploaded a new set of photos which I cataloged and rated as usual. After that when I switched to the develop module trouble began. First thing was when using the crop tool the picture would disappear and only reappear once I closed the tool. Then exposure and White balance changes would change the histogram but not the appearance of the photo. Finally clipping was also not appearing on the picture. I first reuploaded the photos. No effect. Then I reinstalled lightroom. No effect. Help please!

  • Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.

    Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.  From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good.  When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button.  Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?

  • Purchase, licensing, payment Why after i paid $150 for the product do i have to buy a serial number to use lightroom for more then 30 days?

    Purchase, licensing, payment Why after i paid $150 for the product do i have to buy a serial number to use lightroom for more then 30 days? Why doesn't a serial number come with my online purchase? should people have to register a product they bought from the same website? why wouldn't this all be tied together with your purchase? total headache.... also i downloaded the free trial for 30 days and when my trial was up i went to buy the product and found it nearly impossible to find without joining something that has a monthly fee. Is this the standard for buying things online these days?

    When you purchased Lightroom you should have received an e-mail with your serial number. Better go back and check your e-mails that you received from Adobe. I think one of them should be a receipt, and should have the serial number printed on it.

  • I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac.  I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom.  I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac.  I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

    If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

  • Do not use Lightroom for Canon 7D RAW files!

    I know that Adobe says support is preliminary, but it is just horribly bad, especially on high ISO images.  I just processed the same ISO 1600 picture in both Lightroom and Canon Digital Photo Professional and the difference is unbelievable.  The Lightroom photo looks like it came from a point and shoot.
    Abobe - PLEASE make something to match the quality of Canon's converter soon!   Lightroom is one of my all time favorite programs, but this just makes it unusable.

    My remarks re DPP were in comparison to the 7D Beta profile. I use LR 2.5 for 95% of my work, and trying the Beta LR3,  and while I have Bibble Pro 4 & 5 Beta (not fond of either), Silkypix Dev Pro (Ok, but LR much better) and Capture One 5 Pro (very good, but uses a lot of disk space in the image directory) and doesn't have the "extras" and plug-in capability of LR.  LR is my preferred processor, but the 7D profile has room to improve.
    I just shot a Halloween show with the 5DMkII and 7D, most of the shots were iso 2500 & iso 3200.  I used LR for processing all, and did a batch neat image NR after.  Final images were fine and LR is still my primary processor.

  • How to use wait for event step

    Hi,
    I need to trigger wait for event step for my workflow but I am not able to trigger that .
    Can anyany one of you tell me in detail what are the necessary config.and bindings i need to do for that .
    Also i need to pass data from my report program(where i am triggering the event for the wait activity) to the workflow through event triggering for the wait step.
    Please tell me how can I do that .
    Thanks in advance.
    Anand

    Hi,
    I think you can use the function module "SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT" to trigger an event. Make sure that the instance data is same in both ends. To send data from your report, you can populate the event container using the container related macros.

  • I want to use Lightroom for all my photo work but want a folder on my Mac to just dump all my pictures in before transferring selected ones to Lightroom. Can I get rid of iPhoto as everyone tells me to and use something else as a My Pictures folder ?

    I don't see my question listed anywhere. Has it disappeared in a cloud-help.

    Your question is gone in the title.
    It is a matter of your preferences.
    I use Aperture instead of iPhoto, a way which can be similar to your idea to use Lightroom.
    I prefer to put all my originals (Masters) on 2 external HD. Identic
    Does Lightroom allow you to keep Masters on external HD and use referenced files ?
    It will be a way to keep pictures (Many GB) out of the Mac and be able to find them from different Macs.
    Also keep them on 2 different HD is safety.

  • I have bought lightroom, i want to use lightroom for ipad

    I have a copy of Lightroom 5. I want to use Lightroom on iPad. 30 day trial has finished so, where do I go from here./
    I have CC on subscription, can I swap my purchased Lightroom over to subscription, so that I can access LR on iPad?
    Why is it so stupidly complicated? Adobe obviously know that I have purchased their goods, what iOS the problem?

    It's not complicated. Just uninstall the "standalone" Lr, download the CC version via the Desktop app, and away you go.

  • Would like to use iWeb for a photography website

    Hi all,
    Please bear with me on this. The question I am going to raise has been asked on the forum in bits and pieces but don’t think I was able to find a comprehensive solution to it.
    I currently maintain a photography website which is hosted overat my-expressions.com. Link - http://staticmemory.my-expressions.com/
    I love (for the most part) how I have got my site laid out here. The problem is that the host is no longer supporting the platform and hence it means no additional storage space to buy, etc. Basically the hosting platform is going to be abandon-ware in the next few months. Hence, I have decided to build something out on my own. Have purchased a domain and currently have got it to point to my existing photo site.
    My Question – Now that you guys have the context, I would like to use iWeb to replicate something similar and host the new site on my own domain. Unfortunately, I know no code but if there is something reasonable, I am willing to spend time and figure things out. I can really see how iWeb can come in handy to create the pages, etc. It’s the adding the comments piece underneath each photo and the option to purchase prints is what I am having concerns about. If you take a look at my website, you will see how one can click on the Purchase Print link right below each photo and that will provide them with options on the print size and then taket hem over to paypal. Works great in the current environment.
    Any pointers on replicating the Comments and Purchase Printfunctionality in iWeb will be greatly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    RG

    BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
    That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?

  • Just purchased Nikon D610. tried to import 3 images and got this message: The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. How do I fix this frustrating problem. Have been using Lightroom for years also Nikon products without any prior

    How do I import images. Have a message that says: The files are not recognized by the raw format suppot in Lightroom. Am using a Mac version 10.9.4. the import is from a new Nikon D610. Am using LR 4.4 Please help Adobe is useless as a support.

    Each camera must be supported explicity and your LR version is years older than your camera.
    According to Adobe's Camera-support page, you need at least LR 5.3 to work with your D610 NEFs in LR:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    If you don't want to upgrade to LR 5, or can't due to your OS being too old, then it might work to use the latest DNG Converter and create DNGs from your NEFs, which should open in LR 4.x.  You can find the DNG Converter here:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • Things I see missing since using Lightroom for tethered capture.

    I have previously been using Leaf and Capture One, now we are converting to LR b/c of its features. But there are a few small things that I noticed are missing that should be easy to fix. First the compare window. When shooting tethered in Capture One you can pick a compare variant and it stay's up on the left and all the new captures show up on the right. I have tried the survey option in LR but when you make a capture or use the crop tool you're compare view goes away. This would be very helpful in my situation because we shoot high volume and the shots need to be as simalr as possible.  Also something as simple as the grid, there are workaround but annoying ones. Please just ad a grid button,so you can turn it on and leave it on, along with movable guide lines, these are the only little features that Capture One has and LR does not.

    You should be able to see the number in your system files/foldes by navigating to:
    Mac:
    /Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom 4.0 Registration
    Windows
    C:\[your user name]\Program Data\Adobe\Lighroom\Lightroom 4.0 Registration

  • Hello, I have been using lightroom for a few years, always uploading with cr2 files and all of a sudden it wont read my cr2 files to import. how could I fix this

    Hi, I always import cr2 files to lightroom and just the other day it stopped letting me import, Nothing has changed in the files, I have previously imported them but only at their existing file source.

    What version of Lightroom are you using?
    What OS are you using?
    Have you purchased a new camera?
    Are the raw files from the same camera that you imported files from previously?

  • Where used list for event handler in fpm applications

    Hi,
    in one of fpm applications, fpm event been raised in one of the methods, i want to see in which components these fpm events been handled, as i can see there are multiple compoenents being configured in fpm application.
    Please suggest !!

    Hi,
    There is no tool to find that out. Normally i analyze manually starting from the application point of view, go through the involved components and their process_event method.
    You could try in se80 to search for a string, supplying the event name.
