spylaw4 Posted February 19, 2007 Share #21 Â Posted February 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Am I being dense here? Can someone explain if LV1 incorporates Camera Raw 3.7, or if not, how it works with it and where I should put the plug-in? The various note files are not much help, and bear in mind that I do not have and other Photoshop elements / CS programmes. Thanks in advance for assistance.

tashley Posted February 19, 2007 Share #22  Posted February 19, 2007 Good god Lightroom made a mess of importing my beta library! I had nicely sorted year/month/day folders, per camera, and ended up with a zillion folders all at the same level, with the entire date encoded, I think. Can anyone help out with a suggestion for how to get back to something more sane? I still have my original library.  Nightmarishly, you have to right click on every ? marked image and then locate it on your drive BUT that will deal with the problem in batches. It took me about 20 minutes.  Ok, an hour, I'm just being nice cos I like LR...   t Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â If you have no other PS programs, you are fine. ACR 3.7 pertains to individuals that will move their LR images into the PS workspace. I've also been told that after loading ACR 3.7 you should open up both Bridge and CS2 just to refresh the applications before importing images from LR 1.0. This will allow xmp data to follow the images. Â For Mac users (from the LR Forum): "After having all kinds of weird issues in the Mac version of Lightroom 1 after installing, and getting in trouble for lamenting them here, I discovered that they all went away when I quit and re-launch. So install it, import your old library from the Beta version, quit, and re-launch Lightroom 1.0 before you do anything else. It will save you some stress." Â FAQs (they will be updated as problems arise) can be found here: http://lightroom-extra.com/ The tab is located on the silver menu bar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irakly Shanidze Posted February 20, 2007 Share #26 Â Posted February 20, 2007 I am using a retail version 1.0 for about three weeks now, ready to write a detailed review. It's a killer app. In some ways Apple Aperture is more elegant, but it does not understand M8 files directly and does not understand files from my digital back at all. So, I am stuck with Aperture, admittedly, with no regrets at all Irakly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me about 20 minutes. Â This wasn't exactly my problem. It was just that instead of a nice hierarchical structure consisting of camera/year/month/date I had everything at the top level. I went to the Lightroom Extra site, read the FAQ, and here is what fixed it: Â Next to the "Folders" tab, click '+', then find the top-level Lightroom photo library folder, select it, and import. Then my whole hierarchy reappeared. That did make me nervous though. Â Now everything is normal again, except that the old Shoots structure became a series of Collections. I also find that the new program icon is so ugly and poorly done. It looks like something done by a high-school art student in their first session with some paint program, while struggling with font sizes. I rescued the old icon and have that now. I don't know what Adobe was thinking when they did this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted February 20, 2007 Share #28 Â Posted February 20, 2007 My imported structure/ shoots/ libraries were all to pot after the library update. Unfortunately Carsten that "fix" didn't work for me. Now they are all completely b*g*ered up. I suspect I will have to reconstruct everything from scratch using the saved original RAWs.
