<p>Hi all, I need some help please. I have messed up my Lightroom 5.7 . Trying to Export than re import etc. Now I have instead of 4230 pictures I have 17540. Can I select all 17000 and delete them from lightroom and then import the locator information from my weekly Lightroom back ups? I would not delete the actual images just remove them from Lightroom. I had forgotten that Lightroom does not store the actual images but just their location. Anyway what a mess. As far as I can tell there does not appear to be a easy to use duplicate image remover software on the Web. They all list all the files and then it is manually remove one by one. I did not move the actual pictures but just Export and then import in Lightroom. The export of course resulted in the subsequent message of file could not be found when trying to work on the image in Lightroom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Peter</p>

Import from CD to lightroom 5.7

<p>Thank you all very much. I will copy them to a hard drive. Regards Peter</p> -
<p>Hi all, I have a question regarding importing Images from a CD into Lightroom 5.7.<br> Here is what is happening: the images are on a CD I import them into Lightroom. They show up on my screen in the Library module. All is well so far. When I remove the CD all the images are no longer available to be worked on. It says they are missing. When I re-insert the CD without importing them again all is well again and the missing image symbol goes away. Why do the images not stick after import? What am I doing wrong. I have tried the tutorials from Adobe but no luck . Any help would be very much appreciated. Regards Peter</p> <p> </p>

<p>Hi Sarah, " The only digital preservation strategies that make sense involve continuing to migrate to newer forms of storage from forms that are nearing obsolescence". This was the idea. Keep buying new then current hardware along with the then storage media. I believe it should be possible. In the future you would end up with a museum of old electronics. 'You might even charge admission to see it'. A lighthearted comment. Keep smiling.<br> Regards Peter</p>

Too many Lightroom Catalogs
peter k replied to peter k's topic in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing
<p>Hi Andrew and Ellis, thank you for your help. Must I be in the new Master Catalog when I import all the old Catalogs? Regards Peter</p> -
<p><img src="/photo/17493873" alt="" />Dear Forum members, I think I have too many catalogs all the way from Lightroom 2. Unless I am in the correct Catalog the Images I am looking for are not there. Unless lightroom is opened with that catalog the Keyword section does not show what I like to use. Should I combine them all? If so how? It would make it so much easier when all the pictures are available when Lightroom is started rather than going thru the open recent list to find the one catalog that you need. Any help would be appreciated. I was trying to add the image Jpeg of all the catalogs but no luck. I was looking for a location prompt which would have been Desktop but it never did that it wanted a image URL whatever that means the image location is my desktop. Without the backups I have 11 Catalogs.<br> Regards Peter</p> <div></div>
