I have posted this question before but for some reason can never find any indication of having written it. Hopefully this time I will be more successful. My lightroom folder is really complicated to navigate. It mostly just contains folders of kitchens that my cabinet shop has produced over the last ten years. The problem I am having is that the images are first sorted by the year the photo was taken then sorted alphabetically within each year. The problem is that I can't remember the year I took any given shot and several of the projects have been photographed more than once and photographed in different years. Is there a way to bypass date altogether and just organize folders top to bottom on a strictly alphabetical basis?

Is there a way to export large thumbnails out of lightroom classic in a way that they are consistent in width & height regardless of whether or not they are portrait or landscape mode after cropping?
I am building a website from scratch that has a gallery page that uses images as links to particular kitchens my cabinet shop builds. Right now (as attached jpeg shows) my images are randomly arrayed on the the page depending on how tall or wide they are. I would like for this geometry to be more consistent.
I know I can (within the cropping tool) control final dimension output but resulting aspect ratios don't frame the image well.
Is there a way to export an image to a specific size that is not crop dependent?
I realize this might result in extra white space at top & bottom or sides but can probably live with this.
Any suggestions how to do this?

The active photo in my lightroom filmstrip is differentiated from the non-active images by virtue of having a small white border. The problem is my aren't so good and the rest of the filmstrip is very light gray in color. It's really hard to differentiate white from light gray. (the world being divided into surfaces & edges etc) Is there a way to make the active image more visible? For example ould the border around the active image be bright red?

Please forgive my obtuseness. This is all still very new to me. As I see it there are three components to this. The first one is the RAW files that my camera captured. There are a lot of those and there will be more. I need to keep these backed up and Light room needs to be able to find them. The second part is the Lightroom catalog. This needs to have a consistent address relationship with the RAW files so that lightroom can find them. The third part is the overall backup strategy. I need to consistently (and redundantly) back up the original RAW files as well as the LightRoom Library Catalog. There will also be the Jpeg output that I end up porting over to my website. And then there is also the website software to continually develop and maintain. I will be doing this on two different iMac computers in two different locations. Both of these locations will also need to have some connection with Adobe Lightroom (at least on an intermittent basis). Then there is the redundant backup part. The final output jpegs can be parked onto dropbox for convenience but the RAW Photography files, Lightroom Catalog and Website software need to be be backed up periodically onto at least a couple of hard drives and then stored in at least a couple of locations (I am thinking five total because they are so important to me) The hard drives will need to have different names so this will confuse Lightroom. Do I do all my work on a portable SSD and carry that from home to office. Will Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic be able to recognize this SSD consistently even though it is accessed from two different computers?

I am about to rebuild my company website. As part of this campaign I am doing an exhaustive purge & tune up of all my old images. I am trying to figure out the most elegant way to do this. Some of this work will happen at my house and some of it will happen at my shop. I prefer to work with desktop applications rather than cloud based. While my internet connection is very solid at home it is very slow at my shop. (It is also my understanding that the desktop based version of Lightroom CC are functionally more robust than cloud based versions.) I also plan to integrate several layers of backup redundancy. My lightroom catalog and underlying images will be stored on several hard drives in a few locations. MY QUESTION is where to park the actual lightroom catalog so that it can be worked on in two locations. Should this be on a remote hard drive that I can carry back and forth to my shop or should this live in a downloadable format on something like dropbox? If it lives on transportable hard drive will there be any address issues when I open it up using Adobe Lightroom CC? PS: I am not sure what they even call this anymore. Adobe has named and renamed this product so many times I have no idea what version to ask about.

I do interior photography for work that my cabinet shop produces. I shoot much of this work with a tilt-shift lens where I take two compositions then blend them together in photoshop on an iMac computer back at my office. I would like to be able to perform this photo-merge while I am at the photoshoot while my camera is still set up for the shot. I would like, if possible, to stay with apple products for the laptop. Can anyone recommend what I need to for horsepower to drive photoshop elegantly. My primary use for this laptop would be for this one photo-merge function. I am not editing video on the machine but I also don't want to stare at the spinning beach ball of death while I am opening and driving photoshop. Storage capacity is also not an issue. What would be the minimum hardware requirements for reasonable speed an performance? Would something with an SSD drive noticeably outperform a standard hard drive for this need?

Thank you DJ (and David) , This was the answer I was hoping for. What I am hoping for is to be able to set the export attribute for all entries into the CUSTOMER field to be "deselect on Export". That's the only piece of metadata that I can think of right now that I would like to protect. Would be nice to be able to set it once and forget about it without having to click anything extra each time. I will look into the Metadata Wrangler plug-in Conrad alludes to as soon as I get a bit more conversant with Light Room.

I have a cabinet shop. Whenever I conjure up an image I usually associate it with the customer we built the cabinets for. I would like to include the customer's name as part of the keywords. I am, however, very sensitive to anything that might impinge on my customer's privacy. I don't necessarily want to include any publicly identifiable information for any of these cabinet jobs. Who has access to these keywords once the images make it to a website? Are these keywords part of the metadata (like copyright etc) that travels with the photo?

I am not sure where to put this question so I thought I would start it here. I have a very specific need for photoshop and I am trying to figure out what hardware I need at minimum to solve this need. I do a lot of photography of kitchens that my cabinet shop produces. Many of these pictures are taken with a tilt-shift lens that captures three images of the space. One image brackets the ceiling. One image captures the middle levels. One image shoots everything below the middle. These shots are then Photo-Merged in photoshop. In a studio setting I can get images shot and processed into a jpeg on my desktop in under 3 minutes. The problem with this strategy is I don't have the ability to see what my shot looks like until I am back at my office. I would like to be able to do this while I am at the kitchen taking the pictures. Can anybody advise how much hardware is necessary in a laptop computer to handle just this one function?

I am just now starting to think through the implications of Adobe abandoning Muse. This will be the second time I have had the horse shot out from under me and I really don't want to do this again. I am trying to figure out now if there are viable alternatives to Muse or whether I need to embrace something like Dreamweaver. My very first website was created with Apple iWeb. It was a wonderful piece of software and got the job done for me. When my OSX would no longer talk to iWeb I paid to join every no-code program I could find. I could never find a template that exactly served my needs so was very excited when I came across Muse. I would like to find something like this again. In doing more research I came across a site called XYZ Website Builder. I like a lot of things about it and was just about to join until I came across a page that described intellectual property rights. It said things like " ...........you hereby grant to XYZ Website Builder , a worldwide, non-exclusive license to...........reproduce, distribute,..........or sell to third parties Your content from time to time, now or anytime in the future, for any purpose................ You agree and understand that You automatically forfeit Your right to any intellectual property rights in this Content" Does this mean that if I were to create a website for my own company, or had a business that created websites for other companies, XYZ Website Builder would own all of the content? Does this mean they could take any section of my website an sell it to anybody who wanted to buy it? If I were to create a compelling website that resonated with my customers, could somebody else just buy a copy of the is website from XYZ Website Builder? Are there any caveats like this deep within the Muse User Agreement?

Thank you Günter for your recommendation. I will try to create a new site to illustrate what I am trying to accomplish. The particular site I am having issues with, at customer's request, needs to remain somewhat anonymous. I will see what I can do to better explain myself.

Is there a way to have website content scroll in such a way that the top header & navigation buttons are always visible? I am able to accomplish persistent navigation by locating the navigation menu buttons on the top layer. When I scroll, however, the images on my website scroll up to the top of the page and essentially occlude the navigation menu. The menu is there but the image is dark you have to really squint to find the buttons. Is there a way to constrain the scroll such that the visible portion stops at the bottom of my top header? I would like to have my logo and navigation buttons constantly visible. I happy to hunt down youtube videos on this topic but I don't even know what to call the concept.

I am building a website for my cabinet shop. Whenever I open an existing Muse file I get an error message that says: "This document contains 20 links to assets being up-sampled. You should resize them smaller......" What does this mean and why does it matter? For what it is worth, all of my images are processed through Photoshop and exported via "Save for Web (Legacy)" command. They are all saved as 1200 px files and live in folders on Dropbox. I drag and drop them from the folders into Muse.

I think I have the basics of a one column website figured out. It seems to work pretty good for my purposes and I suspect will be fairly easy to maintain. I managed to muddle my way through pinning and resizing. My text no longer crashes into each other as the site moves from a 27 inch monitor to a an iPhone 6 in portrait mode. I have breakpoints at 320 - 450 - 768 - 960 - 1200 - 1400. I possibly could get by with fewer breakpoints but will tackle that conundrum in a different campaign. I have a hamburger menu that neatly pushes content down. I read somewhere that was not a good feature though I am not sure why. MY QUESTION: has to do with pinning the menu & hamburger button at the top. Right now the menu bar stays at the top of the screen and when you scroll down the content passes under it. The menu is still visible (white text on black fill) but the image scrolling above menu is somewhat distracting. The hamburger menu, however, completely disappears. To make this menu visible you need to scroll all the way back to top of page. IS THERE A WAY to keep both the hamburger menu or button menu always visible at the top of the screen & still keep the functionality of having hamburger menu push content down rather than overlay content?

I am curious about how BEFORE - AFTER widgets work. I have downloaded one from the MuseThemes forum. The images I started with are 1200 X 800 pixels in dimension. The BEFORE-AFTER widget works fine in a breakpoint of 1200 or 1400. When I try to reuse the same assets at smaller breakpoints the widget gets wonky. I can't shrink the widget to fit within boundaries of the smaller breakpoint and it does not resolve at all after publishing. In order to use a widget like this would I need to have breakpoint-specific assets? Does anybody know of other sources for functionality like this? Is it possible within Muse to display different images similar to the changes you would see in a states button?

Thanks Günter. That was a real useful video. I have seen that one before but the dixie cup in my brain was not big enough yet to hold all the information. Also thanks for the tip about paying attention to where (invisible) elements lie within breakpoints. That would have taken me some time to stumble onto.

I am building a website for my cabinetshop. To simplify processes all of my photography is saved in photoshop for web-legacy at 2000 pixel wide images. They seem to load very fast and are very high fidelity. Rather than optimize each breakpoint according to content I have chosen to organize content according to breakpoint. I am basically dumber than a sack of hammers when it comes to website management so recognize this might not be the best path. I did, however, have to start somewhere. My thumbnail gallery for kitchens will consist of an image grouped with a kitchen number. Each image on a particular kitchen page will also be grouped with an image number. This creates a sort of Dewey Decimal system for navigatin whereby customers and I can talk about Kitchen Number 3 - Image Number 5. etc. In order to add kitchens to the gallery I plan to create a template then duplicate a kitchen page and replace images. This way the formatting will stay essentially the same and I won't to go through all the acrobatics of massaging the text fields on the various breakpoints I want to have the minimum number of breakpoints but want to cover iPhones & iPads in portrait and landscape mode as well as typical desktop monitors up to 27 inch wide iMacs. I have two basic questions: 1) What would be good breakpoints for iPhone & iPad in both horizontal & vertical mode and what would be logical desktop device breakpoints. 2) Are there any apps or browsers that would display how many pixels wide a given device is displaying. My third question is: Where does my logic breakdown? What should I be doing differently.

Never mind G¨ünter, I figured it out. You need to hold the shift key down while you are selecting the batch of objects but once they are selected you simply click on the first object without holding the shift key down. Still curious about the "KEY" designation means.

Thank you Günter for the screencasts. I have some more questions: I could not replicate your outcome. It appeared as though you selected four objects in sequence then selected the first (key?) object again. At this point in the screencast a numeric value showed up in the distribute spacing dialog box. What modifier key were you holding down as you selected the various objects? You mention an ALT key. What would be the equivalent key on an Apple iMac computer?

I have a couple of questions about the use of anchor points vs hyperlinks. As I understand it, hyperlinks are used to take you to a different page on your website or to a different website altogether. Anchor points take you to a specific location within a page. Does the anchor point link have to be located on the same page as whatever acts as a button in order to be specific in it's navigation? So far the best I have been able to accomplish is to link to a general location on the same page as the anchor link. In one case I have a very tall page with a dozen photos. I put the anchor point near the bottom of the page but when I try to navigate to the anchor link from a separate page it only takes me down about a third of the way to the bottom. Do I need to somehow align the anchor point with some website geography for the link to know where to navigate to?

Is there a way to control the vertical spacing of objects on a webpage? I would like to have a vertical array of kitchen pictures my cabinet shop produces. Below each image would be a picture identification number. When having a conversation on the telephone my customers and I could talk about Kitchen #4 - Picture 3. I would to have all these pictures & ID numbers center aligned with 10 Pixel spacing between vertical elements. Is there a way to create this 10 pixel spacing by selecting all objects on page and stipulating 10 pixel spacing?

I want to use my MUSE website to explain cabinets to my kitchen customers. The best way to do this is to post a picture then point to the picture with arrow that leads from the descriptive text to the detail I am trying to elucidate. How do you go about creating an "arrow" line in muse?

Can anybody recommend a reliable company to host a Muse website on? I have been working with Network Solutions for so long now to solve a filepath problem that it seems like it would be easier to start all over fresh with a brand new company. The NS people have been very patient and quick to respond but we are still not making the problem go away. I apparently have a file folder problem nested so deep I will never be able to find and solve it again. I would like to be in charge of designing my website but I don't want to have to become a computer scientist to maintain it. I want to be able to make changes then hit a publish button and go back to work. I don't care what it costs. I just don't want it to suck the life out of me. Thanks for any suggestions.
