    Semi OT Question re File path on Windows

    Thank you! That is a very clear explanation for how it works and will allow me to implement it that way in my own system. It makes perfect sense now that you type it but since I've never worked in Windows I get flumoxed by the file and path naming differences.

    Semi OT Question re File path on Windows

    I've got a rather off the wall question. I'm actually working on an SQLite database design where I have to reference external files. I know Lightroom uses an SQLite database for the catalog and I've looked at how it stores the file path and folder names on a copy of my catalog on the Mac. My...

    Lessons from the Field of scanning old film archives

    Not really because the workflow I described above is all outside of LightRoom until the final step number 14. No keywords are going to help unless the images are already in LR. It's a standard checklist type of project not a photo processing project. I never did make an Omnifocus project out of...

    I do use some of his plug-ins and have adapted his process keywords to fit my situation. But that is all post Lightroom import. In actuality I do almost no processing of these images at all at this point. I do have process keywords for compelting the cataloging but I don't do editing on them...

    Yes it is. Which is why I suggested making sure you have enough work for it to be worth it. In my case with approximately 30K slides that made it an obvious choice. The time savings alone is worth it compared to flatbed scanners and much more cost effective than sending them out for scanning at...

    If you've really got enough to make it pay for itself it's a good system.

    Why still using a classic?

    Do not want to deal with cloud storage I don't control. Inability to keyword things easily and keep the metadata in sync, smart collections that I make significant use of, hierarchical keywords without which I would not be using LR at all. I have not used develop much at all so while Classic...

    Latest update on the 35mm slide scanning part of the project. For the SlideSnap Pro system we ended up with a camera/lens stack that includes the Fuji XT2, a Fuji to Nikon mount converter, a Kiron 2x Teleconverter and my old MicroNikkor Macro lens. We did not send the lens out for...

    Updating profile issue?

    I realized that my version of LR is not showing up in the profile, but when I go to edit it the Lightroom classic CC rev 8+ is not one of the options or at least I'm not sure it is. I can't update becauuse that field is required but I can't find my version on it either. That is unless you call...

    Advice on getting new hardware

    Apple prices are not"crazy high" if you compare Windows machines that are the same in performance. And if you already are familiar and happy with Mac I am willing to bet that you will NOT be happy or comfortable using a Windows machine. They require much more fiddling and are far more prone to...

    JPEG or JPEG + Raw & convert to DNG + JPEG?

    JPEG or JPEG + Raw & convert to DNG + JPEG?

    So I'm scanning using a digital camera about 30K 35mm slides as described in the thread on lessons on scanning here. The company that makes the SlideSnap recommends only saving JPEG files for the process. They say that for most applications the size savings of the JPEG outweigh any potential...

    And yet another update on the huge family archive/scanning project. As of Monday, 11 March I finished scanning all the 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch film both negatives and slides. Average time to scan and rename was 4.5 minutes per image. All these items were saved as TIFF files and have been imported...

    Yes, I'm down to less than 150 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 B&W negatives and less than 130 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 color ones. I still have over 200 2.5in x 1.6 inch B&W negatives that I have no film holder for at all that I'm trying to figure out how to scan. Haven't started on the 35mm film at all yet. I have...

    I know this is old but a few more tips and tricks and even some solutions to the terrible support from VueScan for scanning items in something other than his default order. My film holders for the 2 1/4 inch square films hold 6 frames. The scan order is down 3 frams then across then down 3...

    Tethered Live View still not supported?

    I was pretty sure I'd seen somewhree that the latest version of LR Classic allowed for live view when tethering a camera but I can't seem to find anything but a 2016 statement from Adobe that LR does not support live view. Can anyone confirm or did I just missread something. I'm trying to...

    Roll numbers came from handwritten notes from either my mother or my father, both of whom have been dead for over 20 years now. New ones I've created myself after careful verification sometimes by piecing the negative (which were all hand cut into frames) by lining up the cut edges like puzzle...

    Just a quick note on a few things I've learned over the last few weeks scanning lots of old slides and negatives. When sorting out various film rolls(my file naming scheme has a field for roll number) get as close as you can, then scan into a working folder using VueScan’s default numbering...

    CarbonCopy Cloner's built in advanced option to find and replace corrupted files. For me the more automated the backups are the better.
