Basically: restore/copy the photos to the same location/drive/path that they used to be. The catalog-files can be restored/copied to any location, but you may want to use "where they used to be" here also in order to keep things the same as much as possible.
For starters one can use the Windows 10 built-in program "Diskcleaning" (or whatever it's called in english). Just click the Win-logo at bottom left and type "disk" and see what comes up as a suggestion. This is Windows built-in program that takes care of whatever Windows conciders to be safe to...
Are you moving the catalog (the database) or the actual photos? Or both?
If you are only moving the catalog, the photos remain in the same place and their path doesn't change so you shouldn't have to do anything special. Apart from remembering to open LR using the catalog-file in the new...
Been thinking a bit. I think this is how it works:
You can only load one track-file at a time. This file can contain one or more tracks. As soon as you load another file, the old file and its track(s) are removed, and replaced with the new file and its track(s). And if you select "Turn off...
Your first screenshot shows the individual tracks found in one file. A file can have one or more tracks. The second shows the recent files you have loaded.
So I just opened my LR (Windows LR CC 2015.12) and there were 8 old tracks in the list. Apparently there is no way to remove those, but it seems to be just a list of the last 8 tracks. So I loaded 4 new tracks with 17.000, 21.000, 16.000 and 17.000 points. That's a total of 71.000 points and...
It's been a while since I used this, but I think you can load multiple tracklogs, but the total number of trackpoints are limited to 50.000. I don't think LR actually stores the logs or points so you can just remove/clear the tracklogs in LR and load new ones. But once again with the limit of...
Easy. I have made a collection that displays photos from around one year back:
Match all:
Capture date is in the last 366 days
Capture date is not in the last 364 days
Adjust the numbers as you please. If you want to go back two years add another statement for 730 days and so on.
Your criteria says "match any", so as long as at least one of the three matches you will see that photo. What you probably want to do is change that to "match all" so that all three conditions are required for a match.
Adjustments made with the brush or gradient tool are stackable if I remember correctly. Meaning if you brush with contrast +100 you can then create another brush with contrast +100 and the result is a total of contrast +200.
Two files in the same folder simply can not have the same name. It is a basic limitation in every operating system. If you don't rename the second file it will overwrite the first file. This has nothing to do with Lightroom.
Small lightsources will create hard light with harsh shadows and distinct reflections. Try to make the light source as large as possible. And by large I mean in a relative way, that's: large in relation to the object you are photographing. A flash that is bounced back/up into white walls and...
You could add a keyword to those photos and create a smart collection that searches for that keyword. But why the need for a smart collection? Why not just a standard static collection? If the photos don't have anything in common that can be searched for, then perhaps they are not really meant...
I import into date-based folders (YYYY/MM/DD). The thing is: LR does this automatically. I don't have to do anything. After a two week trip to Vietnam I have maybe 2000 photos from several different cameras, on several different memory-cards. Maybe I also have some old, non-imported photos left...
I don't "set up" collections in advance. I create them when I need them. Mostly I use smart collections, where the smart rules decide what photos should be in a collection, so it is auto-updating.
I tag them all with "unknown person". That way I know that LR has an least found a face, but of an unknown person. I also know that there is at least one person in that photo. What will I do with that information? I don't know, but at least it gives me the possibility to search for photos with...
