I have a question about the importing question. If I import from current location; that leaves a copy of the images on my laptop, right? What do you do if you are trying to eliminate several different copies of the same photo? If you didn’t chose to copy from current location, would the original still be on the laptop or is that moved also? I am asking because I moved photos from my laptop to a hard drive and now I seemed to have multiple copies of photos everywhere; from Lightroom, from Photoshop, from different extensions, and from the move.
How do I sort all this out, delete copies that aren’t needed and make sure I don’t accidentally delete the original?

Matt,

I’m new to NAPP and these Killer Tips (which are awesome, BTW). Many of the comments pose questions to you, but I never see any answers from you. Sometimes another member will add a comment to a previous question. Do you directly answer individual questions, or is there a way for me to get answers to specific questions? For example, how will I get an answer to this inquiry??

Thanks. Your tips are really helpful.

Geof

Lots of us could use 7 Killer Tips how to make Lightroom 2 work as it should. Tips like having the round trip actually work, freeing up the sticky sliders, overcoming the extremme slowness of the brushes, getting back the lost keywords, etc. etc.
Lightroom is wonderful as you say but please give us the 7 Killer Tips to make it work properly today.

My LR says ver.1 but does not have the command ‘Export to Catalog’
It looks different than the one in the movie, there iare also no commands for ‘New Catalog’, ‘Open Catalog’ neither.
Sync button also is not highlighted, has no function.
Searching my PC for lrcat doesn’t give any result.

??do I have an imcomplete version?
AS I must transfer my files/develpments from a PC to a notebook, how to proceed? Can I still do it? Or do I have to get a newer/complete version of LR first, but if so, how will it load my developments?

thank you for any hint,
best regards

Hi,

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask…..
I am trying to move a selected few pictures from one folder to another in LR2. I have tired using export, but that does not delete the files from the original folder. I am seeing a xmp file in the new folder. I am guessing that is an information file telling where the original files are?

My question, can I select a couple of pictures in LR2 and then move them to another folder without the xmp file?

Thanks Matt, for those of us using a PC, who are constantly organizing our images into folders, your suggestions and comments about the Photo folder and m-o-v-i-n-g the exported catalog folder to w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r location we want is very easy to understand and right on.

For those people who are not folder and sub-folder oriented for organizing their photos this may be confusing.

Overall a good tut. Thx!

Matt: I enjoy your Tips and received a lot of neat presets. I have a slightly different catalog problem. I have located an corrected a number of files that were out of sync but I still have a number of “Red” files which I get the following message:

The file “xxxxxxxxxxxxx” is associated with another photo in the catalog..

Each file can only be associated with one photo.

The problem is that there is no suggestion on how to correct this problem. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Matt,
This is an unrelated question. In the Library module what is “missing files” and if they are missing, why do they show up when you click on them?
