Using Lightroom to edit, but not orgainize.

I move photos around between folders and I have 20,000 photos in my inventory.  I abandoned Lightroom in the past because of the conflict of LIghtroom retaining info on a single photo from two folders.  Now I am again trying Lightroom, but I just wan to open a photo in Lightroom, edit it and then refile.  Under my new plan, I will just open photos using Lightroom, but I will not use Lightroom to locate photos.  In this scenario, it does not matter if Lightroom has records of multiple locations.
Light room will not be used to manage my inventory -- just the tool for editing.  I If I find a photo, and use the "open with" option, Lightroom is not an option.  Help!

There is no "Open With" option for Lightroom to open images.
You must import the photos using the Lightroom Import dialog box (or drag and drop)
You don't have to use the Library Module to do anything meaningful once the photos are imported

  • Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers.

    Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
    I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
    Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
    The more automated processes the better.
    Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.

    yeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
    Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope.

  • I am trying to get authorisation to use Adobe digital edition, but my book's vendor is not on the li

    I am trying to get authorisation to use Adobe digital edition, but my book's vendor is not on the list, and hence the password not accepted.

    Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
    Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.

    GACU,
    OK, now I think I understand your problem.
    If it is your calendar that is being shared with other users who have been granted editing priviliges, you will not be able to exclude those events from printing.

  • Using lightroom 5.7.1 not all the meta-information is copied when exporting pictures

    using lightroom 5.7.1 not all the meta-information is copied when exporting pictures: city and country are not copied, although this information appears if i open the original file in photoshop. if i export this file via lightroom, the information dissappears.
    does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    thank you!
    although i did not change anything updating from lightroom3 to lightroom5, this box was automatically checked in all presets. now i unchecked it and everything works fine.

  • Contact can be edited but not deleted

    Hi there,
    New poster here and I wanted to share something peculiar about my new kin twom. I seem to have one contact that can be edited but not deleted. When I click the contact, all I get at the top are "favorite" and "edit" buttons. However, all my other contacts seem to have an "edit" button on top as well as a "more" button that, when clicked, gives you the option to "delete", "link", or make the contact a "favorite".
    I can live with this non-deletable contact but I'm very curious as to how/why this happened. Anyone have any ideas?

    It looks like this is your own contact card, and it may have been accidentally edited. By default, the phone creates a contact card for yourself, and it should have your own name and number in there. You can't delete your own contact
    Not sure what the original contact was but I guess it's possible that it was my own contact card. I did not know that the phone creates one for you. What name does the phone assign to this contact?

    You cannot; it's intentionally disabled to guard against accidental file loss. If you press Option when pasting the files, they'll be moved instead of copied.

    Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
    If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

  • Is it possible to make only some nodes of a tree editable but not others???

    I am trying a simple java program in which I need only leaf nodes to be editable but not non-leaf nodes. So please if anyone has any idea of that then I need help.

    You could write conditionals because getTreeCellEditorComponent() method of a TreeCellEditor should have boolean leaf argument.

  • Purchased Photoshop/Lightroom deal...can use Photoshop no prob but not Lightroom

    purchased photoshop/lightroom deal...can use photoshop no prob but lightroom says I have 0days remaining on my trial and I cannot open it. It is asking for serial# but I don't think I got one...I searched my emails and I didn't find anything. I've tried downloading again but still nothing...Please help I have a deadline to meet and i need to use it right away.

    Uninstall your current LR5 that is activated with a serial number.
    Quit the CC Desktop application.
    Restart the CC Desktop application—this causes CC to rescan your location computer to see what is installed.
    At this point you’ll see an Install button next to Lightroom, so install that.

One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
    Superb advice R&W!  My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1).  Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me.  Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
    Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

  • REFInd stuck but works using UEFI Shell v1 (but not v2) [FIXED]

    Hi,
    First ArchLinux install and it gets problematic. I've followed the Beginner's guide and am now in the following situation.
    rEFInd get stuck on:
    rEFInd - Booting OS
    Starting vmlinuz-arch.efi
    Using load options 'root=/dev/sda5 ro rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap initrd=\EFI\arch\initramfs-arch.img'
    The \EFI\arch\refind_linux.conf contains the following line:
    "Boot" "root=/dev/sda5 ro rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap initrd=\EFI\arch\initramfs-arch.img"
    Interestingly, when I start it from the UEFI shell (from the arch installation cd) it works with the v1 but not the v2 !?
    What did I overlook?
    edit: initrt was a typo… sorry.

    Yep, I can boot using only:
    vmlinuz-arch.efi root=/dev/sda5 ro initrd=\EFI\arch\initramfs-arch.img
    But still, it works with the UEFI Shell v1 from the liveUSB but not using the shell v2 or via rEFInd directly.
    Is there any particular reason you need those options? If not, just leave them out and call it fixed. If you care to do more investigation, though, I'd be interested in knowing which of those two options is causing problems -- or perhaps if only the combination of both of them is causing problems. If either alone works but not both, then I'm inclined to suspect there's a problem with the length of the options line, although that seems odd, since I'm pretty sure I've tested with long options lines in the past with no sign of trouble.
    I also can't help but wonder if this might somehow be related to the problem being discussed in this thread, which also has a bug report here. That seems to be a problem with specific kernels, but it's conceivable that there's an interaction between kernels and some other unknown factor.
    FWIW, I just did a quick scan of the most relevant section of the rEFInd code and I didn't spot anything suspicious about how it's handling those strings. In fact, it's using allocated memory rather than fixed character arrays, so a hard limit caused by a string of length x seems to be unlikely as a cause unless it were in the kernel's EFI stub loader -- and then you wouldn't see the difference based on the boot manager type (EFI shell v.1 vs. EFI shell v.2 vs. rEFInd).

  • Use sudo language setup but not all changed

    i activated macbook pro with Arabic, then i changed to english and used "sudo language setup" but still a few titles not changed
    in finder like: documents, downloads, tags, all still in Arabic.
    i updated to yosmite but still same thing

    I wonder if you login as a different user (if none exist create a test user in the System Preferences "Users & Groups" pane) if the problem then goes away. If so I would guess one of the preferences pertaining to the language setup has become corrupted in some way. If this simple test doesn't have the same problem, try renaming the .GlobalPreferences.plist file in /Users/yourusernamewithlanguageproblem/Library/Preferences to something else and then logout and login again (you might even need to reboot). If the problem goes away, you know the source of the problem. There are a lot of other things in this .GlobalPreferences.plist file other than the languages and default language.
    If changing the name of this .GlobalPreferences.plist file does work, then you have the cause of the problem identified. You then might want to try editing it with a Plist editor application and see if you can find exactly which of them are corrupted. I believe the key that contains the languages supported and the default language is called "AppleLanguages" and the default language is always element 0 in that array.
    If you're not comfortable with doing this (need to know how to use the command line in a Terminal.app window), then say so and I can give a bit more detail.
    Good luck...
