    Confused by backup storage behaviour

    Not sure reopening this old thread is optimal but life has been hard lately and could not pursue the solution timely. No optimising does not change things. The NAS itself seems to be in good shape. No SMART errors, and as I said above the files are easily accessible through the Samba share...

    Confused by backup storage behaviour

    Thank you Hal. Yes rebooting does not help. Will try optimizing the catalog. Take care.

    Confused by backup storage behaviour

    I see what you mean but if that was the case shouldn't I have problems seeing the same files in the Mac's Finder (as shown in the Pic) ? Thank you.

    Confused by backup storage behaviour

    Dear friends, I have an home NAS with RAID disks on which I usually transfer the previous year worth of photographs while keep the current year on my iMac disk (with its own TM backup). This network attached disk is usually kept turned off and I spin it up only to perform my backups or the rare...

    Reverting from capable to newbie

    That's life. You learn wondrous things with the help of great people then life throws lemons and you gotta make lemonade and forget :) I have powererd up my RAID NAS which is usually always off and see it properly on my Mac as a folder which I can browse, write to, delete from etc. On this NAS...

    Library module Tricky collection need

    Hello and happy 2018! Kirby I agree but in this case I'd have an hard time to remember the right timestamps to correct to. In some cases it was just a timezone problems but in other some weird wrong clock. Johan, you did understand correctly but its the "images must not be in that normal...

    Library module Tricky collection need

    Operating System:High Sierra Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): 7.1 Dear friends, first of all let me wish all of this community a great 2018. Here's my problem: I have a smart collection which holds photos of my trip to the great USA with a selection criteria which is "flagged...

    What do you like using to generate a "rich" slideshow ?

    Thank you Louie. I use Keynote at work but I'm not a "black belt" at it :-) From the little I use, I doubt that it could handle stuff such as the transition of the music tracks, voiceovers etc Will probably try learning enough Premiere to tackle the project.

    What do you like using to generate a "rich" slideshow ?

    Very interesting. I've dabbled with Premiere and After Effects (at a beginner level) years back, so maybe I'll give them a try again at my office where they have a production Mac almost unused :-)

    Soundtrack for NewYork and the great Utah/Arizona parks

    What music score would you use in commenting a slideshow on new york (the city and museums) and the great outdoors of Utah and Arizona? Got around 30 mins worth more or less evenly split between the two environments !!! :-) Thank you very much.

    What do you like using to generate a "rich" slideshow ?

    Yes I know there's a Slideshow module and for standard things it's quite ok. What I need though is to overlay various types of text, insert "title" slides, have more control on image panning and enlargement, align several different music scores and overlay voiceovers. I tried a Mac package...

    Smart collection snag :-)

    I have painstakingly selected around 400 shots of my summer vacation and flagged them as a pick. While choosing them I have developed around 50% but the rest need to be processed. I made a smart collection with a date range, the pick flag and the Has Adjustments = false criteria. Wonderful...

    Suggestion to merge panoramas of DEVELOPED images

    Hi sorry for the delay. For some reason I've deleted the RAW after exporting the TIFFs. As soon as I get some time to go to the camera and find and reimport the originals I'll be happy to upload. Thanks you

    Suggestion to merge panoramas of DEVELOPED images

    FWIW even the 2015.12 update has the same (wrong) behaviour. The TIFF export method of course worked well albeit being cumbersome. Thank you all. PS If anyone would care understanding why this happens I could make the 3 RAW (Sony ARW) files available for analysis and test.

    Suggestion to merge panoramas of DEVELOPED images

    Thank you all. To clear up some confusion: I do shoot only RAW and in Manual setting (I'm old enough to just like it this way ;-)). It's not clear to me as to why the 3 shots when loaded in LR have such different light temperature values. Of course if I set the 3 values to the same AND export...

    Align shots and generate animated image

    Is there a way to merge a dozen handeld shots of a busy station. The scene is almost the same (but not on a tripod so little oscillations) but there a lot of people walking briskly and so when I flip through them manually it shows a cool pseudo animation. Any idea on how to align the static...

    Suggestion to merge panoramas of DEVELOPED images

    This is what I see on my Mac when I hit the Help->System Info button Lightroom version: CC 2015.5 [ 1067055 ] License: Creative Cloud Operating system: Mac OS 10 Version: 10.12 [5]

    Photo merge on collapsed stacks

    GREAT! Thanks !

    Suggestion to merge panoramas of DEVELOPED images

    Thank you Johan. All my shots are RAW but once they've been stitched together I end up with one composite image each sector of which has a different colour temperature corresponding to the original setting.

    Suggestion for a simple and cheap "still life" studio

    Dear friends, my wife had to leave her paid job and is now trying a new adventure opening a little shop of beautiful paper and accessories items. If you care to have an idea: paperness.it or Instagram papernessitaly As you will see until now she shot very crude pictures with her cellphone...
