Using Lightroom on multiple displays

I today evaluated the benefit of having a seconds display on my machine (WinXP). There's no obvious way in InDesign to display menu and panels on one display and the images on the other.
Well, the applications "integrated" layout is quite different from e.g. Photoshop so it's not that surprising. But I think it would be a great benefit if one could work fullscreen on an image without toggling panels, as simple it might be ever implemented.
Or am I missing something?

InDesign'?? Lightroom doesn't support dualscreen, but: this is the way I work: Don't use Lightroom in a full screen window but enlarge the Lightroom Window from the leftside of monitor one into the right-hand side monitor, but just the right panel visable on monitor 2. If you hit the F6 and F7 keys the left- and bottompanels disappear and you have allmost a full screen to work with, and the devolop panel remains on the richt-hand side on monitor 2. Just try, it works complete well at me. gr. Jaap <[email protected]> schreef in bericht news:[email protected].. >I today evaluated the benefit of having a seconds display on my machine >(WinXP).

Using Lightroom on multiple computers with the same images

When using lightroom on my PC I download the images to an external hard drive. When I am away from home can I use lightroom on my laptop and down load images to the same external hard drive and process them and have lightroom on the PC locate them when I return home.
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Yep. If you're regularly going to be multiple machines, the easiest solution is to put the catalog file on the external hard drive, and just open that same catalog on both machines. The alternative is to use import from catalog when you get back to your main computer, to copy the holiday photo settings into your main catalog.

Is it possible to use Lightroom with multiple computers that are not networked?

I am new to Lightroom although I have been a professional photographer for over 15 years. Currently, I use the software that came with my camera to process my RAW files, Digital Professional Pro by Canon for a Mark II 5D.
I have been evaluating the lasest version of Lightroom to consider purchasing it. So far, I love the expanded ability for image adjustments and enhancements. However, in my current workflow, I need to be able to save the adjustments to be able to transfer the files to another computer. Is this possible with Lightroom? With Digital Pro, I can tweak a RAW file and it will save the adjustments no matter what computer I open the image file on. I need to be able to duplicate this process in order to convey to our production department how I want an image adjusted and cropped.
I downloaded the trail version on two computers, then imported images into Lightroom. Made adjustments, then copied the images to a flash drive.Uploaded images from flash drive to my laptop, then re-imported the images into Lightroom and the adjustments were not saved.
Thanks for any help.

After some research, my answer lies in the XMP file. Whenever I make adjustments to the image, I can save my adjustments by creating an XMP file (CTRL S). It writes it back to the original image folder so when I burn the folder to hand off the files to my production team, the xmp parleys my image adjustments. They in turn can make adjustments and send them back to me, if needed. Just took awhile to find the information because even though I am kicking the tires on LR4, it was a LR1 video that gave me the infomation.

Using Spaces with Multiple Displays

I'm wondering if there is a way to setup Spaces to only show spaces for the main display in a duel monitor setup.
I have a 19inch monitor I use when I'm at work and I do not enable mirroring so that I can get a higher resolution on the 19inch monitor than what my aging ibook (1024x768) can put out. When I do this and activate spaces, each space shows both monitors....the larger 19inch and then off the corner of that, the smaller 14 inch of my ibook.
What I want is for when I'm hooked up to my 19inch display, for my laptop display to in essence not exist. This way when I activate spaces (currently set to 4) I just get 4 "19 inch" spaces instead of, what looks like, 8 spaces.
Any thoughts? Any scripts or terminal commands to make this happen?

I put off upgrading to Leopard almost exclusively because of this reason... I thought I'd be able to get over it for a couple weeks until 10.5.2 comes out, but tonight I'm pulling my hair out.
Have you found out anything new?

Using lightroom on multiple monitors-Mac

Can one split off the side panels to keep them on a second monitor, while keeping the center on the primary monitor?

Check out the rather large post in the Feature Request forum.

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

How can I better use multiple displays as if they were multiple computers?

In Mavericks I read online that multiple display support is the best it's ever been, but it's still very frustrating. Is there any way to get the "multi displays are different spaces" option to act more as it promises? Photoshop, for instance, refuses to let me move all of its control windows to my calibrated display, forcing me to go back and forth between my Eizo and internal monitors; one for its colors and the other for the tool pallates.
I want to use my MacBook display just for email and such, so I don't want to close the lid, but I wish it could be really segrigated. The experience I'm looking for is sort of like 2 computers with a shared keyboard and mouse. One dock per display is desprately needed. Can that be done?
Also allowing each display to have one applicatioin currently in front when multiple input devices are present would be greatly appreciated. I could then keep one keyboard and tablet in front of the Eizo and use the internal for use on the Macbook - if the OS could learn my setup it could really be the best of the benefits of having 2 computers and just one. Shared Clipboard and one Space colaborating seamlessly with another, while having the abillity to work entirely within one space and then move to the other while waiting for a command to finish executing, or to go back to the file system to open more work.
This is so close to perfect but it has a few really frustrating limitations. Any advice?
thank you
-Jeremy

Can I Use The Multiple Display Feature?

Can I Use The Multiple Display Feature With My "Early 2011" Macbook Pro? Or Does it HAVE to me "Mid 2011"?

You could always do that as long as you could connect all the displays.
What you are now describing is Airplay where the data is streamed to the AppleTV. The connection no longer has to be a physical cable.

Using Lightroom in a multiple user instance

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I currently work at a high school and create the schools yearbook. I would like to start to manage my photos using Lightroom. I have 5 licenses and would like to hear suggestions about how to best teach my students proper techniques in managing and organizing their folders. Ultimately I would like for students to be able to add images to one common library and have the images show up across multiple computers. I am under e impression that this is not possible, as the catalog contains all of the image data (retouch info, tags etc). I am hoping that there is a way though.

LR uses a single-user database. There is no way multiple users can work with the same catalog, at least not at the same time. It's also not possible to have the Catalog on a network drive. Catalogs need to be on local drives.

How to use one pageflow to cater for multiple display?

Hi, I trying to use one pageflow to display different kind of contents because the logic behind the retrieval is similar except that different parameter(string) us passed in for different content retrieval.
How do i achieve the above? thanks in advance :D
Cheers

What do you mean by "display different kind of contents"? do you mean you want to display PDF/HTML/Image based on certain parameters or You are using different media like PC/PDA etc.
In both cases you can redirect to different success page based on your query parameters.
if(param.equals(image))
forward image.jsp
if(param.equals(pdf))
forward pdf.jsp
else
forward html.jsp
Hope it helps

How to use Lightroom 5 [was: 6] to transfer related .WAV files for VISIBLE display next to my Nikon D4s NEFs?

Please help me. The ability to do this crucial to my workflow as a photojournalist and columnist.
Today I discovered that I have a serious problem when I tried to use Lightroom 5 to transfer my RAW images and their associated .WAV files from my Nikon D4s memory card. I did a search online and found that a Canon user has this same problem:
Part way through the transfer a message box appeared on-screen telling me: "Some import functions were not performed. These files are not photos or videos," followed by a list of all of the .WAV files.
I rely on those audio files to remind me of things that I need to know about for my column with regards to the associated photos. Sometimes I even use those short audio files to record sound effects.
I am using a Mac running on the new Yosemite operating system.
I like the fact that Lightroom does not do destructive editing vis a vis the added description and other metadata, as opposed to Nikon transfer which apparently does do "destructive editing," but I've been using Nikon Transfer 2 and, before that, previous versions of this program for years. I have never had an issue with corrupted photos due to the transfer process. This is a significant drawback for me of Lightroom 5.
Surely many, if not most, people at Adobe use Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras, so why would they allow such a serious flaw to be in Lightroom 5?
Am I missing a step that will eliminate this problem or is there a workaround for it?
Thank you for your help.

I entered the Library drop-down menu, clicked on "Find" and typed .wav in the search window. Lo and behold, only the 13 photos that had associated .WAV audio files were then visible in Library view.
Hmm, I wouldn't have guessed that would work. It doesn't work in my LR 5.7 -- it doesn't find any photos with associated .wav files. I wonder what's different about your situation. In your Library Filter bar, when you do Library > Find, what appears in the two red circles below?
In my previous message, I was referring to the third-party plugins Data Explorer and Any Filter but forgot to include the links. Though the two plugins are quite a bit different, they each give you the ability to specifically search for associated files with a given extension.

Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
Requirement:
Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
Preferred solution:
The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
Thanks everyone for your input...
Claus

HI CLause,
On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
FYI: Found a solution...
The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
Claus
See this thread:
Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
many thanks

How can I use two screens to display one window

Before Mavericks, MAC OS allowed you to use two screens (next to each other) in order to display one (big) window of one application.
That would mean that a window would start on your left screen en would continue on the right screen.
With Mavericks, however, this not possible any more. The window of the application can only be seen on ONE of the screens (i.e. the left one).
Can any one tell me whether I've missed certain options or how to adjust my settings in order to get this feature back?

Hey CGNL,
First, if you haven't already, set up the displays as an extended desktop:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Arrangement.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Then, use Mission Control preferences to uncheck/turn off the option for "Displays have separate Spaces":
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Mission Control
Uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces"
That should enable you to stretch whatever window you want across multiple displays.
