New year resolution and a thought...

I must say I have slacked in keeping the blog updated... and I apologize. I love Lightroom and learning about it but it took a back seat over the last few months.

Quick thought:

Publish services, Have you found a use....? I love the concept but I must say it has been difficult to find a use until I bought my apple TV.

I have a personal catalog, I have been use the flagging system when going through my images. At some point I realized that I could create a smart collection within published services.

I then created a "Hard Drive" Published services which used the smart collections and would grab all of the flagged photos and export them to a folder. My apple TV is pointed towards that folder so when it goes to the screen saver it grabs all the images in that folder and displays them on our TV.

Its a great way for our family to view our pictures.

Feel free to contact me via email - paul@weinrauchphotography.com for any questions or clarifications.

Lightroom - .lrcat and default Program!

So the problem:

At some point Windows Vista 64bit changed the default program for my lrcat files to Adobe Professional. I think it was around the time I installed Lightroom 3 Beta.

The result, I was unable to double click on any Lightroom Catalog file and have Lightroom open. It would try to open the file in Adobe Professional software instead, BOOOOOO!

In the past to fix the problem you could right click the file goto >open with>choose default program.... But Lightroom wasn't an option, and when I tried browsing to the lightroom.exe and clicking on that, it still wouldn't open the file in Lightroom.

The fix (finally) - try this at your own risk, attempting to modify the registry can make the operating system unstable.

open the Program "regedit.exe"

goto:
computer\Hkey_classes_root\AdobeLightroom.lrcat\shell\open\command

In there you will need to add or change the "default" string to the location of the Lightroom version you are using, 2.5 in my case.
for example> "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.5\lightroom.exe"

Log out, log back in. problem solved....

If you need a more detailed explanation please email me with your questions....

Always Learning

This last weekend....

I had the opportunity to assist for George Jardine at his Lightroom Conference in Denver. I was so grateful for the opportunity to be there in the capacity to help teach. I would recommend his workshops to anyone interested in Lightroom!

But as always there is always something to learn!

Lightroom tip:

The original filename won't be saved in the metadata if you change the filename on import, but if you wait and change after import, the original Filename will be in the metadata.
