Thanks Paul!! That's exactly what I was doing wrong!! Really appreciate your input, it's such a simple thing but I was really hung up on it as no one else had mentioned that position / order in the synch process.... Best wishes, Alan.

Thanks Paul, That's what I'm trying to do but I seem to be synching the timeline audio (which is all good and in synch with the main interview...so I don't want to change that) with the new b-roll clip instead of the other way around? What am I doing wrong? See screenshots...I'm selecting the b-roll audio/ video chanels and selecting the main (Zoom) audio chanel and synching by selecting "Audio" and Channel 2 in the drop down menu....but in the second screenshot you can see where it's moved the main audio so now it's out of synch with the interview and that piece of audio is only in synch with the 10sec of b-roll....? Appreciate any guidance you can give me, thanks!

I'm editing an interview with a main camera shot and then some shorter 10-20sec alternate angle shots. I have about 20 of these alternate angles I want to drop in but I don't know how to synchronise them with the main timeline. The interview is edited down on the main camera and I used a Zoom recorder to get nice audio, so I have the two camera channels (A/V) and the 2nd audio channel. I can easily synch the Zoom video to the smaller clips I want to drop in so they have clean audio too...but I can't figure out how to synchronise those b-roll clips into the main timeline...(some of my efforts synchronised the main sound with the b roll...but moving it out of synch with the overall interview main sequence)? I know from other research that I should have probably shot the b-roll continuosly for the whole interview and synched it all once for a multicam set up ....but I didn't do that and now seems like it's complicated to sych up the small clips! Appreciate any help you can offer! Thanks, Alan.

Thank you, I think that's where I made a mistake. Seems to be working fine now with the way you described. Alan.

I'm using LR Classic 14.3 on a Mac (M1 Max). Recently I shot something where I ended up shooting the same angle of a building at different times of day. I organised the images (brackets of each angle) into stacks to make it easier to sort through but now I find that when I move the stacks around (sorting them into a "custom order" in Library grid) if one stack ends up next to another stack, LR will combine both stacks together....? If I move the stack between two unstacked images it will move and keep the proper stacking of the images. What am I doing wrong here? Any suggestions?

Issue is solved and was not a Lightroom issue. Somehow there was a temorary proplem with the FTP server I use. Thanks! Alan.

I've uploaded lots of web galleries in the past few years but today when I tried to upload a small gallery I got the following message when the upload process was almost finished.."An error occured sending the file: invalid login" I tried restarting, I logged out and back in to LR but still same message. Any ideas what the solution is? Mac M1 Max, OS 13.5. Lightroom Classic 13.1

I've had a lot of trouble with the "saved document preset" recently...when I reopen PS 2024, the preset is not there even though I made it the day before. An old preset migrated from a previous version of PS is stored though. Where can I find these to make sure they don't disappear...? (I've loked in the Presets in PS 2024 in Application folder, and in Library> Application support but can't see anything...?) Thanks

I'm no expert on the brush controls etc but I couldn't get the brush to stop being sensitive to pressure and I solved it by clearing the brush controls in Photoshop 2023 (on my Mac). Maybe this will work for you?

Neil, I'm fascinated by this discussion. I'm relatively new to video editing (more still photo experience), but if I understand correctly are you saying that ALL mac computers will display any video slightly lighter than intended (in mid tone/ shadow areas) due to the machines using a different gamma than the "standard" 2.4 for video. Or do movies displayed on Mac's somehow compensate for the difference? Also, I've noticed that VLC renders my files exported from Premiere with the correct tone (as opposed to QT)...how does that happen? Thanks, appreciate your input! Alan.

Yes, I have the same problem with PS 2023 AND PS (Beta)...works if I select file to open in PS 2022. Up until a week ago the Beta version worked fine....

This is what I ended up doing: measuring the object using the ruler tool and then slelecting the width displayed in the top bar, which was 6.863". I needed this book to be 4" in my print so I divided 6.863 by 4 and the result was .582. I then resized the image by selecting "Precentage" (instead of inches or pixels etc) and entered in 58.2%. This resized the object to 4". All what you suggested but I just added a bit more detail on the process!

Hi, I have some photos of different books all shot on different backgrounds, and at different scale. I need to make some prints with each book 10"h and also include all the background in the photo (final images will be prints of different sizes). Is there a way to measure the object in the photo (a book in this case) and then scale the photo so that that object (book) will be a specific size? Thanks!

dj, Thanks, yes that makes sense (parent folder) for future. Fortunatley most files are in subfolders so I should be ok, I just have to manually reconnect about 20 folders. Appreciate your help. Alan.

Thanks for the info. My problem now is that the majority of images were in folders like "JOBS" or "SCANS" and those files I can re-connect because they're in the main folder (eg JOBS) but there were some folders of images that were just on the HD...so I guess I have to reconnect those folders manually...?

Hi, I have three external HD's (HD1, HD2, HD3) and I recently consolidated them into one larger 4Tb HD, named HD4. In that new drive I have three folders HD1, HD2 etc with all the same file folders as before. How do I marry up LR to let it know where the files are... I know I can click on the corner of the "missing" file and let LR know where that folder is....but do I have to do this for every folder in the HD? Is there no way LR can tell to look in the nerby folders too? Thanks, Alan.

I meant to add that it messes up my collection completely and the only way I can fix it is going Cmd+Z to undo the steps I just took, and then I can get back to the original collection (without the Book module added photos). A.

Rob, Appreciate your reply...but here's my situation. I want to make a book, using photos I have in an already made collection.....I click on the make book (as you described) and the filmstrip suddenly contains the 28 images from my collection and another 100 images from the last book I made. I then delete the 128 photos from the book...now the book is empty but the collection I had previously made now still has 128 images (not 28)....! It's all weird...? Thanks Alan.

Hmm...sorry but this absolutely does NOT work. It's so frustrating that Adobe can't fix this... Using the workaround aboove didn't do anything other than change my original collection of 80 images to a collection of 500 or so because saving the book, even thought it had NO photos in it (all balank pages), and I checked the box "Include only used photos"....... it saved all the images anyway with the book. Seems to be an existing problem for several months now. Also tried another suggestion involving auto filling the book, and then clearing the book...bu that didn't work for me either. FYI using Mac LR 10.1. Alan.

I'm making a Blurb book with a collection of photos I made. When I go from the grid view, to the Book view (even though I only have the collection of images selected), the Book view opens with all the images I used in my last book included in the collection...! And I can't seem to be able to delete them...if I just go back to the collection to "delete" them...they're not in the collection.
Any ideas what is causing this to happen?
(Using LR Classic 10.1 on a Mac) Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks everyone for the responses and suggestions. I may not have phrased my question initially the best way but what I've learned is: Multiple HD's are no problem in LR. As you fill them up, just keep adding them, and all images will be in one catalog, even though they can be on different HD's, internal, or multiple external drives. The mess I was in was actually that my 1T drive was totally full, which is a bad situation. I wanted to remove the last 10% or so of images to leave some space on the HD (as I've always heard that it's a bad idea to completely max out a HD), put those images in a new HD, and use that HD going forward for all new images added... It is possible to just drag and drop the folders from the old to new HD, within Lightroom, but that seems to be a risky way to do it. As Lightroom moves the files it deletes them from the old location as it adds them to the new location. If anything goes wrong in this process, they're gone for good (and they're not in the system trash). It's also extremely slow to use this method. What I did was (thanks dj_paige !) in the system finder, copy the folder to the new HD. Open Lightroom and go to the original folder, control+click on the folder icon to get the drop down menu with "Update Folder Location". Now Lightroom will access those files from the new location and the old folder will be removed from Lightroom (but it's still on the system, untouched). As everything looked good in the new location, I went into the system finder and deleted the folder at the old location. In the end not so laborious because I had a folder named "2016" with about 50 subfolders inside (aprox 80gb of images); I was able to move the "2016" folder and with one click (Update Folder Location) Lightroom knew where all the subfolders and images were... Thanks again to everyone for your help, much appreciated! Alan.

It seems like I will have to "locate" each folder of images after I have split the hard drive into two drives, otherwise LR doesn't know where the photographs are...? Hours of work as I have probably a thousand folders....? Is there any way Lightroom can "locate" entire folders and re- link them to the catalog? Thanks, Alan.

Hi, I have many years of images in LR, now close to 1Tb, all stored on one external Hard Drive (and a separate back up hd, but that's not part of this question). I have so many old hard drives that I've upgraded to over the years I was wondering if I can avoid buying another set of 2Tb drives and instead just use two 1Tb drives with all my images on them.....? Is that possible for LR to work with say images from 2000-2010 on HD1, and all my images from 2011-present on HD2, all part of the same catalog (with the catalog on my computers internal drive)? Just to be clear I want to have all the images available at the same time; if I search for a certain keyword, I want LR to look at for images with that keyword on both HD 1 and HD 2, and me to be able to access them and adjust or add them to collections etc. Thanks for any input! Alan.
