Lightroom Question
I have LR 1. I've TRIED to use it to create a web gallery. But every time I do it resizes my photos. I resize my own photos when I convert them to jpg. I try to make them the size I think is good for viewing (landscape 700-800 mp wide, and portrait 660mp tall max.) that also won't overwhelm older browsers. But it always seems to resize them about to be about 70% of the original size. I figured the next time Bob threw up a gallery (he seems to use it pretty exclusively) I'd take a second look, because I remembered his photos being larger than what LR is giving me. Yup. http://www.web-options.com/Dec7/ (Not the image quality, I'd have difficulty matching that, :-), but the size). When constructing the web gallery in LR I have found a little slider bar on the right that is under Large and is labeled Quality and I bump it up to 100%. But it STILL resizes my photos. How can I avoid this? What am I missing?

Lightroom Question
I would like to add a photo to an existing Collection. So, I read the f###ing documentation, which says to select the photo in Library Grid mode, and drag it to the desired collection in the Collection Panel. Nifty, except that the photos don't drag anywhere. How is it =really= done? (and why, or why, can't Adobe ever produce decent documentation?)

LightRoom question
Hi! Here is a simple question which I cannot answer myself: Suppose I have a folder with several photos. Some of the photos has keyword tags associated with them. Some other photos don't have any associated tags. How can I display only the latter? Thanks.

Lightroom question
All right, this has been driving me bonkers and I can't find an answer... How do I change the default sort order in Lightroom? Every time I import a directory of files it sorts the images by "capture time" and I have to *manually* change it to sort by file name. What's worse is when I'm in a hurry and forget to do this there doesn't seem to be a way to change groups of directories in one go: I've just spent half an hour going through previously imported directories and correcting the sort order manually - one at a time. It's infuriating and I know there has to be an easier way. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Lightroom question
I've got a job Tuesday night taking photos at a charity event. As part of this job, I'm going to need to get them printed. The only catch is that I've never printed any of my digital photos. Therefore, it would be wise for me to do a test run and get some of my shots printed. I've collected a list of some of my favorites on flickr. It should be fairly easy to find the files, and even in theory the libraries(?) that they're in. I'd like to collect all of those shots, with the processing data that I've already done, and have a special grouping of them all in one place. I'd rather do this without duplicating the raw files that are already there, though I don't mind if the files of processing instructions (for printing) are different than the current iteration of those files. I could look this stuff up in various lightroom books, but I'm not even sure what to look for. One complication to this whole process is that I've moved my whole directory tree of photos from one drive, to another, at least once. And I believe the catalogue (?) files as well. At one point in my attempt to get my old catalogue, or whatever it's called, I pointed the wrong thing to the wrong place in the directory tree, and messed everything up, so there's weird duplication with something pointing to places that aren't there for various libraries, or catalogues or whatever. I'm not familiar enough with lightroom (yes, I know, I should take Godfrey's class) to know what things I should look up in the index. I've run into problems before because what I think is the intuitively correct name is different than what Adobe thinks is the intuitively correct name. If it helps for pointing. I've got Kelby's Adobe photoshop lightroom book and Resnick and Spritzer's Lightroom Workbook. I may have a couple other books around someplace, but those are the one sitting on my computer at the moment. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.

Lightroom Question
Not even off topic here this time ... I got my laptop out to exercise it before the PPofNC convention and re-installed software - Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 3.2 and Corel Painter 11. This time when I installed Lightroom I managed to do so without it trying to catalog every image on both hard-drives. But I am having another problem ... I made the mistake of importing images directly into lightroom from my memory card. I can see the images IN LIGHTROOM. I can do all sorts of lightroom stuff to them ... But where the hell are my actual DNG files? Like if I wanted to open an image with Photoshop so I could convert it to a PSD file I can open with Painter? NO, I am NOT going to upgrade lightroom to the latest version if I can't ever get the version I already paid for to work. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.

Lightroom question
My friend Candice wanted to try her hand at processing one of my photos in lightroom. I exported several virtual copies of it onto a catalog on a usb stick. She imported that catalog, made the tweaks she wanted and saved the catalog back to the usb stick. I’d like to import her edits to the file as virtual copies along side my edits, but I seem to either have the option of copying the files to a new location, or importing the edits leaving the files in place. If I try the latter, unmounting the stick, then pointing at the raw file already on my disk, it says it can’t have two things pointing to the same raw file. How do I solve this problem of merging edits as virtual copies? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Lightroom Question
Marnie, it is easy. Instead of making a web directory from small images, you can make it from originals. In the parameters of web gallery mode you can find a parameter that sets the size of imported images. Unfortunately I have LR 2.1, thus I cannot show you the screen shot, but it is there and I hope you find this parameter. Once you solve this issue, I suggest you make a web gallery settings preset so that to save your time for the next gallery. HTH.

RE: Lightroom Question
Thanks for the flattery. In the web module, on the Image tab there is a Size slider which you can use to set the size of the long edge. I always shooot raw and leave it to the web module to resize. I generally go with 900 pixels for 2:3 pictures, and 800 pixels for 4:3. If I remember I set the quality to 50% or lower, otherwise downloads take the better part of infinity for some people.

Re: Lightroom Question
The "image pages" slider under "Appearance" is the one that controls the final image size. The quality slider just adjusts the amount of .jpg compression.

Exactly as they state: Click and drag a thumbnail from the Grid view onto the Collection you want to add it to. If the particular image or copy is already in the Collection you drag it to, Lightroom will not allow you to add it twice. I have no idea why it would not work on your system. Perhaps you're not giving Lightroom that momentary pause required for it to know that you've clicked and dragged the image? I find this happens to me occasionally. An alternative is to select the thumbnails in either the Library grid view or the Film Strip panel and control-click on the Collection you want to add them to. Pick the "Add Selected Photos To This Collection" command ... Lightroom will add them as requested. A nice touch ... if you have a folder or collection selected in grid view and hover the mouse over a Collection, Lightroom will highlight all the files from the current location that are already included in the collection you are hovering over.

Re: Lightroom question
OK, Here's a question. In Photoshop Elements 5.0 I kept/keep a file of 2008 best and 2009 best photos. That way, I can reference and print them without digging them up. With the K-7, I've shifted to Lightroom 2.5. The laptop quickly fills with new images, and I have to roll off past quarters. So how do I establish a place where I can keep the best of 2009 around for a long time. Do I copy my favorites to a separate folder? That's what I did in PS Elements. Regards, Bob S.

Re: Lightroom question
Larry - I think your question is "how do I get files printable by a third party from the raw files I've manipulated". Yes?? Here's one way... With Lightroom in library mode - Create a "Collection" - give it a name that describes the content Find the images you want to get printed and add them to the collection You don't have to add them all at one time - if they're in different folders find the ones in one folder and add them, then move to the next folder you want to use and add them, etc. You can select multiple files in each folder and add them at once. When you have them added to the collection, show the Collection in the Library pane, select the ones you want to send out to be printed and export them as jpg's. Be sure to export them as sRGB's. The export dialogue lets you specify where to put the exported jpg's so now you can navigate there in Windows Explorer and either upload them to your print source or copy them to whatever media you want to use to get them to your third party printer. HTH -p Larry Colen wrote: I've got a job Tuesday night taking photos at a charity event. As part of this job, I'm going to need to get them printed. The only catch is that I've never printed any of my digital photos. Therefore, it would be wise for me to do a test run and get some of my shots printed. I've collected a list of some of my favorites on flickr. It should be fairly easy to find the files, and even in theory the libraries(?) that they're in. I'd like to collect all of those shots, with the processing data that I've already done, and have a special grouping of them all in one place. I'd rather do this without duplicating the raw files that are already there, though I don't mind if the files of processing instructions (for printing) are different than the current iteration of those files. I could look this stuff up in various lightroom books, but I'm not even sure what to look for. One complication to this whole process is that I've moved my whole directory tree of photos from one drive, to another, at least once. And I believe the catalogue (?) files as well. At one point in my attempt to get my old catalogue, or whatever it's called, I pointed the wrong thing to the wrong place in the directory tree, and messed everything up, so there's weird duplication with something pointing to places that aren't there for various libraries, or catalogues or whatever. I'm not familiar enough with lightroom (yes, I know, I should take Godfrey's class) to know what things I should look up in the index. I've run into problems before because what I think is the intuitively correct name is different than what Adobe thinks is the intuitively correct name. If it helps for pointing. I've got Kelby's Adobe photoshop lightroom book and Resnick and Spritzer's Lightroom Workbook. I may have a couple other books around someplace, but those are the one sitting on my computer at the moment. No virus found in this incoming message.

The problem with trying to write something when I've been up for 24+ hours: I'd like to collect all of those shots, with the processing data that I've already done, and have a special grouping of them all in one place. I'd rather do this without duplicating the raw files that are already there, though I don't mind if the files of processing instructions (for printing) are different than the current iteration of those files.

Re: Lightroom question
I wish I could help, but I don't have time to write out what seems to comprise about 70% of the nine-hour Lightroom workshop I teach. This material ... image files in the file system and their relationship to the Lightroom catalog ... seems to be the 95th percentile problem for most people using Lightroom, at least through the first few weeks of use, because they do not understand the fundamentals of a computer file system and how the Lightroom database interacts with it. My next Lightroom workshop is scheduled for November 7-8 ... see the Media Center website at http://www.midpenmedia.org and click on "Check out our Classes", then search for "Lightroom". -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

RE: Lightroom question
What sort of access do you want to those pictures, and when you say 'roll the pictures off', what do you mean - are you moving them from the laptop's internal disk to an external disk and also deleting them from the LR catalogue, or are you keeping them in the catalogue? When you import files into LR it adds an entry for each file into its catalogue. The entry includes a preview of the photograph. You can choose the resolution of the preview. The catalogue entry also includes a pointer to the place on disk where the picture is stored. If you move the file outside of LR to another disk then LR won't be able to find it, but it will still have the catalogue entry and the preview data. You can continue to use this for everything except the Develop module. An option you could consider is to keep the catalogue on the internal disk, but use external disks to store the photographs. Then very year you just use a new external disk. The catalogue retains continuity and if you do need to use the Develop module for any of the photos on disconnected external disks, just reconnect them.

Re: Lightroom question
There's also online training at http://www.kelbytraining.com/ They have 30+ teachers. Most of the course are on PS, but some are on Lightroom. I am impressed they have a online course done by Katrin Eismann "Color to Black and White Artistry," but they seem to have some beginning and advanced LR courses too. They now have it set up now at $24.95 a month for all you can take. Since that's pretty cheap, sign up for month, cram in as much as you can. :-) I am thinking about doing it once I get more LR conversant. But I haven't done it yet, so I can't personally recommend it. But overall it looks like a pretty good deal. HTH, too, Marnie :-) (Now that Godfrey won't answer any and all PDML LR questions.

Re: Lightroom question
Bob, I think you see the problem now... My paradyme with Photoshop was to keep everything in one catalogue on one machine. Then it changed to move old images off the laptop (or desktop) to free up space for newer pictures. At first, this was easy and I was able to create a "Greatest Hits" album by copying 40 or 50 favorites for 2008 into a separate folder. This file could remain at hand while the old photos moved off line. In mid 2009, I became dissatisfied with Photoshop Elements 5.0 and decided to move to Lightroom 2. Here the catalogue system is more sophisticated and my paradyme for handling images is breaking down. I can establish a '09 favorites on the catalogue system, but by mid 2010, most '09 RAW images will be moved off line. I will lose access to the pictures without juggling a separate hard disk drive where the images are stored. For a select set of '09 images, I would like to keep the RAW files and sidecar files (or whatever the modifiers are) on the laptop for easy access in 2010. Regards, Bob S.

Re: Lightroom question
So, copy everything to your backup. Select your 2009 images, then the "Keepers" sub-set of images. Then flip the selection so now you have in your selection all of those which are NOT Keepers. Delete them from the HD from within LR. You are left with your Keepers still on your HD. stan On Oct 12, 2009, at 6:25 PM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Bob, I think you see the problem now...

Re: Lightroom question
Bob, will this work: In Library Module, click on the -/+ by folders and make a new folder. I just did this and I called it 2009 Keepers. Now go through your pics and drag your "keepers" to the new folder you just made called 2009 Keepers. You will get a dialogue box that says Moving a Photo on a Disk, and then click move. Now you have a folder of 2009 Keepers. Delete the *non-keeper photos,* which are stored on back-up anyway, if I understand you correctly.

RE: Lightroom question
I don't think it's designed with that sort of approach in mind, and that's not a way that I would recommend to anyone, but... To use a laptop as the day-to-day working catalogue, with offline storage say on a network drive or a separate external drive, I would probably be thinking along these lines: 1. for day-to-day use, import onto the laptop 2. for back-ups &archiving, regularly copy the whole lot, pictures, catalogue, everything to 2 external drives 3. at year end, 3.1 delete everything from the laptop except the favourites 3.2 get 2 new external drives to use for backups (otherwise you will overwrite all your non-favourites!) 4. to work on any of the non-favourites, re-import them into the laptop from the archive Bob > I think you see the problem now... > > My paradyme with Photoshop was to keep everything in one > catalogue on one machine.

Lightroom Question -- Subdirectories
I am finding Lightroom doesn't seem to handle subdirectories well. Or the way I would like, anyway. I am using Windows XP. For now, in the library, I am just trying to mirror what I have on disc. As I go through and do this I am renaming directories to have more descriptive names. They all have date stamps, I am keeping the date stamps but adding leading names. Like Fremont - 2006 04 13. Since Windows will do long and undash linked file names now, that will work. And in 1.2 I can use Lightroom to rename the directories. However, I have run into two problems. I've done some net searching and forum searching and haven't found an answer yet. When I imported (in location) my subdirectories lost the master directory name. For instance, I have a directory on my hard disk that is labeled Yosemite. In that directory are subdirectories that are date stamped, but Lightroom just imported the subdirectories and I lost the master directory/name, Yosemite. In other instance, I created a subdirectory through Lightroom in an existing directory and moved photos from the master directory to the subdirectory. But although the pictures show up in the Lightroom library in the subdirectory, they also show up in the master directory. I don't like that. I have looked in the actual directory on disc and have found they HAVE been moved, but they still show up in the master directory. Doing a remove (without delete) from library for the master directory will remove them from both the master directory and the subdirectory in the library. So I've had to synchronize folders and it puts the pics showing both back in the subdirectory and the master directory. I don't like the way like Lightroom handles subdirectories. I may have to resort to moving all subdirectories out to become their own "master" directories. 1. Is there any way to show the master directory name for a subdirectory when importing? 2. Is there any way to have the pics in the library only show in the subdirectory and not in the master directory as well?

Another Lightroom Question
Apparently in Lightroom I can import the whole Elements 5, "library" with tags and all that I have already setup. From the organizer section, if I am not using exactly the right words, well, that's what I mean. Anyone done this? I am debating doing this or just resetting up a library in Lightroom from scratch. I don't think I can reimport it back into Elements 5 if I change anything in Lightroom. It would be a short cut, though. Well, any info. on this appreciated.

Lightroom question (Godfrey?)
I discovered I have multiple copies of some pictures in my Lightroom library. The thing is one copy is Dng and the other is Jpeg.

The one hitch about "Go to Folder in Library" is that, by default, Lightroom suppresses the display of unnecessary parent folders in the folder hierarchy, so it still might not be obvious where you are. The higher levels can be shown by right-clicking on a folder and selecting "Show Parent Folder" until you have enough context. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Lightroom Question
Lightroom recognizes any storage volume which is laid out with the DCIM directory structure as a camera or camera card. If you had loaded up a card with files and didn't honor the DCIM directory structure, Lightroom would simply see it as another USB mass storage volume allowing Add and Move import methods.

Re: Lightroom Question
In my experience, it's much more likely that the card had some issue with its file system at that time. It hardly matters, but in every case like this I've examined when I was teaching and doing client support, the issues were never resolved to be a LR fault, they were always something in the card, the camera, the cable, the reader, etc. If LR allowed Move or In Place mode operations, something about the card or in the chain of operations that mounted it did not inform LR that it was a DCIM storage device. It would be interesting to know what that was. :-) Godfrey > On Aug 20, 2014, at 1:14 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: > > This card came out of a K-5.

In Lightroom, library mode, grid view, select the files. Then drag them to the folder in the Folders panel you want them to be located in.

LightRoom question/idea
Hello, wise people of PDML :-). I have an idea/question. Say, in LightRoom Library module I set up a filter and see some pics. I sort them some, mark them some, etc. Then I decide to set up another filter, may be from different folder, may be from different parameters... I sort some more pics and so on. Is there a way in which I can easily go back to my previous filter (state of Library module window)? Is there a notion of tabbed Library module browsing? Are the plugins/addons that facilitate such convenience? Thanks.

Re: Lightroom question
I may not understand the question. But it would seem that if you do an import-from-catalog you will bring in her (changed) files. Or just the changes to the files. If you don’t want to lose your originals in the process, make a duplicate first. The re-import will “overwrite" the original but your duplicate should stay as it was. stan On Jun 17, 2014, at 12:51 AM, Larry Colen wrote: > My friend Candice wanted to try her hand at processing one of my photos in > lightroom.

Dumb Lightroom Question
So, somehow I have managed to not have any previews in Lightroom, so what is happening is that as I scroll through my pictures, it is building previews on the fly. As you can imagine, this is quite time consuming, as I have to scroll through the directory, wait for what is on the screen to build, and then scroll down to another blank section of screen and wait for previews to build, etc. Is there a way to get Lightroom to point to a directory and build previews without going to the effort of scrolling through all 36000 or so images on my hard drive? thanks for any help.. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
RE: Lightroom Question
Hi Bill, I suspect someone on the list probably has a more detailed knowledge of this question. But maybe a small tidbit that I know could be helpful. I am not sure what you meant by the "wrong platform": Mac vs. Windows or LR CC vs earlier versions. There is a tool "Adobe Lens Profile Creator" available for download for both Mac and Windows: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html#Adobe_Lens_Profile_Creator What I don't know if this profile would work for the earlier versions of LR. More over, - I am not sure if this profile creator allows you to enter "unknown" lenses in the database. From what I understand, - it allows saving lens profiles for corrections in LR, but maybe it would also allow adding a new lens.

Re: Lightroom Question
Hi Bill, Profile I do not know, but lens naming I do as follows: I have a picture taken with a K5 and this Sigma 10-20mm this name is not known by light room, When I read its metadata with the little program "PhotoMe", it shows lens ID: 3 44 When I import this photo into lightroom, the lens is named: "Sigma or Tamron lens" Many Sigma lenses have the lens ID "3 44" My understanding is that LR translates the ID "3 44" into the name "Sigma or Tamron lens" LR uses its file "cameraraw.dll" to do this. When I open this cameraraw file with the little program HxD, I found the "3 44" and the wording "Sigma or Tamron lens" (find the lens section by using the search function for "Sigma" or Pentax") As I have only one Sigma lens in possession with the ID "3 44" , I changed the wording in the cameraraw file in: "Sigma 10-20mm /4-5.6 EX" From now on, my pictures taken with this lens, get the correct name at importing. I do this in lightroom CC clasic, but did it also in LR5. In your case: find the lens code of your lens (with PhotoMe or other program). In the camera raw file, change the lens ID of a lens that you are not having or using. See what name comes out when when importing a picture taken with that lens.

Re: Lightroom Question
Yes. The LensTagger plugin presents you with a screen where you can fill in the relevant data, and save it as a preset. When you run the command, it is actually executed by another program, the exiftool by Phil Harvey. Afterwards, you need to update metadata from file in LR to see the change. To run the plugin on multiple files, you just select them in the Library module before starting the plugin. The processing capacity seems to be a max limit of between 30 and 50 files somewhere.

Re: Lightroom Question
I'm using Photoshop CS6 with ACR 9.1.1 and also LIghtroom v6.0. I only have two newer lenses - DFA 28-105 and DFA 15-30 - but profiles for both seem to be supported, even though Adobe says they are not. Screenshots: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/lens-correction-in-acr-9?blog=9 The only thing is that neither ACR or Lightroom detect the unsupported lenses. When I check "enable profile correction" nothing happens but if I then select Pentax under "Make"both ACR and LR detect the lens at that point and load the profile. The officially supported lenses are automatically detected without the lens make being entered. This does not make the lens name appear in the file's exif data, but I think that running the raw files through an up to date version of Adobe DNG converter will add that info.

Stupid Lightroom Question
I'm running Lightroom Classic 13. Over on the left side there is a "Folders" panel, with the highest level of hierarchy being the hard drives. I've got three drives Mac SSD, photo_ba, and photo_bb. The problem is that whenever I change something on one of the drives, it's position in the panel moves to the top. So, while I'm going through, cleaning up my catalog, moving folders from the primary drive to the longer term storage, the order of the drives in the panel keeps shifting around. My google fu is just not strong enough to figure out how to get it to JUST STOP THAT. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com. sent from Mirkwood -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Another Pentax/Lightroom question
Here's a question for you With CS2/Bridge, my image input workflow went like this: 1) Take images using ACR raw format. 2) Point Bridge at my SD card 3) Open all images using ACR (3.7, I think) 4) Save all as DNG to an "incoming" folder ACR did a nice job of compressing the DNGs when it saved. My K10D images were typically ~16MB out of the camera, and would be down to around 10MB or 11MB with nondestructive compression applied. When I try to do a similar operation using Lightroom 2.2, it appears that Lightroom just copies the images untouched into the distination "incoming" directory without compressing them. Anyone know how to change this? Should I just shoot using PEF instead?

yet another Lightroom question
Also I'm trying out now Lightroom as possible replacement of Elements on my new PC. In Elements I used to store my converted (exported) JPG's along with the DNG files in the same folder. I am used to identify folders based on subject and subfolders by date taken. Elements does import from card folders by date and also saves the converted JPG by default in the same folder unless you select to save for web w/o EXIF. In LR I see so far no easy way to do thisin the same folder and upon saving the JPG it is hard to find back the folder in which the DNG file is located. Another point is that in Elements the JPG file size can be set before saving, or the file size is indicated for the selected percentage of original, which I haven't figure out how to do in LR. Although LR has more handles in adjusting RAW's, I find Elements conversion menu easier to access than LR develop menu, as there is no need for scrolling on my 1024 by 768 screen. But no doubt I'm still on the bottom of the learning curve here.

Lightroom: Question about Clarity
Hi Everyone: I have lack-of-clarity about Lightroom's Clarity function. This is from Help: Clarity: "Adds depth to an image by increasing local contrast." I don't have an understanding of "local" contrast. What does "local contrast" mean? What is added depth? Also, I seem to like the photo better when greatly increasing the clarity slider. Fine. But what's NOT happening in-camera (for example, do I need to be making smarter exposure decisions etc) that requires me to add depth by way of increased local contrast during processing?

1:
In the Library module, the Folder panel is an exact reflection of the
file system on the hard drive. How you import the folder structure
influences what you see there, however.
Let's say you have a structure on disk like this:
2006 - All My Pictures
Misc Junk Photos
Work In Progress
20060105 - Birthday Party
20060321 - San Jose - Trip to Opera
20061019 - Drive to Albuquerque
Projects
20060411 - My First Exhibit
20060923 - client portrait shoot in sf
20061202 - ebay horrible old Canon consumer lenses
If you want that whole folder tree to import into Lightroom, but
don't want the Misc Junk Photos branch to appear, Import in place
starting with the top level directory ("2006 - All My Pictures"). In
the import dialog which comes up, exclude the "Misc Junk Photos" sub-
directory tree. Manipulations of the directory tree in Lightroom's
Folder panel will be reflected from that point on in the file system
exactly.
(This is probably obvious, but it should be stated for completeness:
In the Library module, the Collections panel is maintained only in
the Lightroom catalog and does not in and of itself reflect the file
system at all. Only the Folder panel view reflects the file system
structure.)
2:
There behavior of Lightroom is to show all files in a directory tree
starting at the root and recursing down to the leaf nodes. So if you
imported the above and clicked on the "Work In Progress" node, it
would show all the files in the three subdirectories in the Grid
view. If you click on any of the leaf nodes, you will see only the
files in that leaf node. This implies a file system structure that
puts image files ONLY in the leaf nodes works best, rather than
having a set of directories containing both image files and directory
nodes, so that you can see each set of files independent of the
contents of subdirectory trees that might exist. (You can look at a
combined Grid view of, say, "20060105 - Birthday Party" and "20060411
- My First Exhibit" by Alt-Clicking just those two leaf nodes in the
Folder view, excluding the others.)
The above directory structure is the way I've been organizing my work
for some time even prior to using Lightroom. It probably isn't
exactly what you wanted. However, it works well given Lightroom's
Folder panel display behavior.

A quick example: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/LR-folder_v_files.jpg On the left is the display of the file system as seen in the Finder on Mac OS X. On the right is the Lightroom view of the file system in the Folders panel. Note that I've chosen to only import certain parts of the 2007 directory tree into the database, and all the subdirectories are leaf nodes ... there's no enabled disclosure triangle for them in the Lightroom view, they are seen in the FilmStrip panel on the bottom of the display or in the Grid view. In the Finder view, clicking on the disclosure triangle would show the image files icons listed in each directory. (Windows Explorer can produce a view very similar to this List View in the Finder, but there are some subtle differences in how it behaves relative to the Mac OS X Finder. Lightroom behaves the same on both, far as I can tell.) - If I manipulate the file system structure in the Finder, Lightroom will automatically update the Folder view to accommodate those changes if the directory tree is local and not to another volume. If I add files in the Finder, I need to tell Lightroom to synchronize the Folder view and import new files. - If I manipulate the Folders/files in Lightroom, the Finder immediately reflects the changes.

Godfrey Er, cough, er, yes, Godfrey. I get all that -- the difference between the library and OS folders. I just needed to print out your post because it was dense to read, not because I don't get it. Although you may have forgotten, I am computer programmer. I may not know assembly language, and I may not understand some hardware things, like how a RAID card works, but I am highly highly computer literate. Although maybe it will help someone else. :-) Okay, it seems Lightroom will not behave the way I want when it comes to subdirectories. I made the mistake of not importing the top directories, although Lightroom didn't seem to allow me to. But I imported my Elements 5 catalogue and that is probably how top directories got skipped. I would prefer that subdirectories pictures only show in the subdirectory film strips not in the top directory film strips. The way Lightroom currently works, it makes my subdirectory structure sort of useless. So I guess I will have to make all subdirectories top directories. I already see two features that I wish Lightroom had. 1. An option/preference that can be selected to make pictures only show in subdirectory folders, not top directories. 2. A batch synchronize folders routine. Where one can pick out a HD or a top directory and have Lightroom synchronize the whole thing. Import pictures added since the last time the batch synchronization has been run. In my current library setup, for instance, my drive J is not at the top level. If I could have drive J at the top level (with no film strip), then I could click on it and synchronize folders and it could synchronize the whole drive. So some way to do a batch synchronization like that would be nice. Thanks for your answers though, you answered my questions in your first post.

Re: Lightroom Question -- Subdirectories
FYI. Just a follow up. I have a hard disk dedicated to photos, and a master directory on that disk, labeled My Pictures (an XP thing). All other pictures are in subdirectories to that and some of those directories have subdirectories as well. I finally managed to solve my problem by importing the top directory, My Pictures. I imported into my existing Lightroom library. Now all my master directories and subdirectories show in Lightroom's library. Since I had already imported most of the subdirectories, it only took about 20-30 minutes, I imagine starting from scratch it might take an hour to an hour and a half. In the XP version of Lightroom how do to this is rather non-obvious. Because normally it looks like it won't let you import a directory that only contains subdirectories but no photos, as the import dialog will show "Supported files" in the file type and a directory without picture has no supported files. However, there is another button below the import button that says "Choose Selected" that only is enabled when the chosen import IS a directory without pictures. So highlighting a directory will enable that button and then one can import a directory without pictures. I am not totally positive that button was there in version 1.0. And probably everyone using Lightroom, XP version, knew this. But just in case someone read this thread and didn't, that is how it works.
