    Re-Structuring my Lr Catalog & Masters

    Hello, First of all, I’m reading the outstanding articles on Merging Catalogs, which are very informative! But I still have questions (which might mean I need to re-read the articles :-) I have a fairly large Lr library spanning over 20 years of photos. Both the Lr library and the master...

    Using Smart Collections with FotoMagico Pro

    Thanks, John. I posted a similar inquiry in the FM forum, but they don't seem to be nearly as active as here. I don't know if FM uses the Lr SDK, but I understand your point. I'll try to find out. Yes, I've created a standard collection, as you suggested. I'm hoping that manual step won't be...

    Using Smart Collections with FotoMagico Pro

    I'm using Lr CC 2015.12 and just purchased FotoMagico 5.4.3 Pro. In FM, I can see the Lr library, no problem. I can also see all my "standard" Lr collections, and the images they contain. However, I cannot see any "smart" Lr collections, or the images they contain! I see the collection sets...

    Don't import suspected duplicates - not working in Lightroom 6

    I've been having this same issue, and this suggestion solved it for me. ...for now, anyway!

    Import Shrinks Photo Dimensions?

    Johan and Rob, you both nailed it! Thank you both so much for your help! I'm disappointed that an Adobe application handles the Apple hardware more appropriately than an Apple application. :-( Enjoy, Jim

    Import Shrinks Photo Dimensions?

    Thanks, Johan. Yes, I'm viewing at 1:1. When I click 2:1 the image gets bigger - exactly the same size as when I view "Actual size" in Preview.

    Import Shrinks Photo Dimensions?

    Hello, this is probably a newbie question. :-) A friend sent me some iPhone photos in email, and I want to add them to my Lr catalog. I saved them to my hard drive, and opened them in Preview. The dimensions are 960 x 1280. I imported them to Lr using "Add", and when I look at the images...

    Jeffrey Friedl?

    Just to let you know, Jeffrey's blog is back online! Reports of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

    Metadata for Identifying Potential & Actual Uses for an Image

    Thank you, Tim. I'm eagerly awaiting the return of Jeff's site so I can try his Zenfolio plugin. And your comment has piqued my interest too. Since Lr can already add metadata to each image, what is different about Jeff's plugin in that sense? Thanks! Jim

    Metadata for Identifying Potential & Actual Uses for an Image

    What a great suggestion, Vitoria! I think I'll do exactly that! You're the best!

    Metadata for Identifying Potential & Actual Uses for an Image

    Hello! I'm migrating (slowly) from Aperture, and I'm trying to figure out how to use Lr's metadata and/or tools to "tag" certain images. That way I can use Smart Collections to show all images with some combination of these "tags". To start with, I'm learning and using Lr's tools for stacking...

    Jeffrey Friedl?

    Thanks, Cletus! It's still down, but I'll keep checking. Enjoy, Jim

    Jeffrey Friedl?

    For some reason I'm unable to access Jeffrey Friedl's web site (regex.info). Does anyone know if this is a temporary problem? Thanks!

    Sort by import date?

    I've been spoiled by Aperture's handling of Metadata. It remembers the date/time of the Import Session, and can use that as part of a Smart Album (similar to Smart Collection). I was in hopes that Lr kept that info, but alas even Jeffrey Friedl's Extended Search and Data Explorer plugins don't...

    Seamless Transfer from iOS Camera Roll / PhotoStream to LR?

    Lot of good feedback here, thanks very much to everyone! As mentioned, my Aperture library is referenced. I would want my Lightroom Folders to exactly mirror my folder hierarchy on my hard drive. It's date-based, and the lowest-level folders include the event name. From Rob's comments, I...
