Richard, Thanks for the correction. I have been using Photo Mechanic for so long to cull and ingest to my hard drive, I forgot about the limitation of the copy item when importing from a card. ... View more

You don't say whether you were in Bridge or Lightroom when you imported the photos from your memory card. If you used the MOVE function in LR the originals will be deleted off the card during the import function. If you used the Bridge downloader, there is a function there to delete the originals. Could either of those things contributed to the deleted originals on the memory card? ... View more

No, I use the Epson provided profiles. In PS View > Proof Colors, are you selecting the paper profile?  I usually print from LR so I don't regularly use the PS View-Proof Colors function, but when I choose the paper profile in the first View item, Proof Setup, I get no difference when I toggle Proof Colors. I may not be using that correctly. I prefer the proof function in LR for that. ... View more

Thanks for that clarification. I don't have any missing folders so I couldn't try it on one of those. I helped a friend relink to folders that had been copied to an external hard drive but now I realize none of those folders were not missing either. ... View more

I really like the instructors and courses on Lynda. Many of the instructors are HIGHLY experienced and use Wacom tablets most of the time.  If you are really serious about your results in PS, especially selections, masks and other uses of brushes, get a tablet. Using it will be second nature in a week or two of use. BTW, I have completed the Deke McLelland course One on One and it is excellent, covering much more than the basics. ... View more

It sounds like you are using a laptop. Is that right? When I travel with my MacBook pro, I carry two external hard drives, one for the images and one for a back up. If you are traveling, having images on two hard drives, in my opinion will require having two more for backup. BTW, for travel, I keep my laptop and external drives in three different bags to prevent the loss of everything. ... View more

In the Library module of LR, right click on one of the folders with a question mark. Choose the "Update Folder Location" line. That will bring up a file manager window (Finder on Mac and File Explorer in Windows). Use that to navigate to the external drive where your image file are now located and look for the folder with the new name. Repeat for each folder with the question mark. ... View more

I take it from your post that you are not using Lightroom yet. You are likely to get many opinions on your questions. Hello.  Right now I'm consolidating tens of thousands of photos from external drives, internal drive, SD Cards, Google Photo. Tens of thousands are not a particularly large number. Many Lighroom (LR) users have more than 100K images. I have about 186K referenced in my LR catalog. The catalog is a database of information about each image that has been IMPORTED into LR. That includes all the information that the camera puts in the image file and all the processing and file location information. The image files are not "in" the catalog. LR just keeps track of where the files are on your hard drives (local and network) It's a time suck, so I want to get it right.  I could use some advice:  How much time would you invest creating/managing a folder structure on hard drive? Depending on your definition of "time suck", getting your image file structure set up properly is a very important thing to do. Most of my photos are in some kind of folder structure, but a significant number are not.  If I understand correctly... All of your photo image files are in some kind of folder structure already, except possibly those that are in the root of the drive which would be "C:" in Windows or "Macintosh Hard Drive" in Apple OSX Lightroom will create a catalogue of my photos Yes, as described above The catalogue will have pointers to the file locations-- so I shouldn't ever move them Yes, but there are other reasons to have all of your image files in one top level folder as in C:\ Xxxxx Photos. Replace the Xs with your name. You can and should move the files in LR, except for very large folders. Do not move the files outside of LR until you know what you are doing and can tell LR how to find them again. I can organize by creating virtual "folders" within Lightroom "Virtual Folders" in LR terminology are "Collections". Collections are very useful, but your folder structure will be recorded in LR before you use Collections. There are various apps/services that can work with the folder structure in Lightroom Not in the sense that they will help with your file organization. Someone will probably chime in with some plug in here but you should learn the basics of LR first. If that's the case, which of these makes the most sense? Spend hours looking at every photo to create folder structure on drive. Do this before creating LR catalogue. My answer to that is yes. It depends on how detail oriented you are. If you do that, as I said above, put all your images into subfolders of the Master Xxxx Photos folder Dump all my existing folders and "orphan" photos into one big folder-- then use LR folders to manage This is a workable solution. One images and folders have been Imported into LR, you can reorganize them in LR as long as you are not trying to do this to folders with masssive (1000s) of photos. Get rid of existing folder structure completely. Everything goes in one big folder on drive, and I manage using LR folders.     A number of LR users will probably recommend this. I find it to be a big mess, because I organize my image folders like this: C:/Ken Photos/2017-11-22-LaurensBirthday. By doing that, I can find and access all my image folders outside of LR to find JPGs, etc for emailing or buring to CDs, etc. This works well for me, I have 6TB of images on 2 4TB drives which LR handles fine. Something else I'm not seeing This subject is kind of like religion, you may get many suggestions. Note: The big advantage of having all you photo image files under one master folder is for backing those images up. It also saves a lot of work when you upgrade to a different computer or want to move all those files to a new hard drive. ... View more

What you have posted is one camera club member who is responsible for programs writing something to work up interest in the next meeting. That individual may be the only one with an axe to grind.

You haven't completely explained how you are saving. I can think of three things: Are you using File->Save (Ctl/Cmd S) or Save As? Only File -> Save will work to return the image to LR. Some really big files take a considerable time to save in PS. Are you giving PS plenty of time to save before looking at it in LR? In Preferences -> File Handling: is "Maximize File Compatibility" turned on? ... View more

This situation is caused by a hardware problem. Your computer is not communicating with the external drive. The following parts can contribute to this lack of communication: USB port on computer USB cable USB hub and it's USB ports USB port on external drive External drive controller electronics The actual hard drive in the external enclosure The easy checks are to try another USB port on your computer and a different USB cable.
