Full Version: Lightroom?

Does anyone know how I can relink images that are in my database, however are not at the location that Lightroom thinks they are? I know if you click on the ? it will ask you to locate the new file path.

However, I want to do this on an entire wedding (1000+ images) and do that one-at-a-time would be crazy.

Have you tried doing it to one?

I'm fairly sure I've done this...once I told LR where the first one was, it found the others automatically.

Clever...huh?

I just figured it out. If you click on the ? and link one of the files it will link all the images that you have selected in LR. This is great because now I can export the XMP files to archive this to a hard drive.

Not sure if you all remember with the BETA version LR had a feature that you could Export a PHOTO BINDER to make using between multiple computers very easy. Well guess what, version 1 doesn't have it.

Nope, the binder functionality broke with some of the other new features and we couldn't get it banged out properly for 1.0 release.

I have no problems working between multiple computers, though. You can just copy the lightroom library between machines and then copy over whatever images you want to work on. I keep all my photos on my Mac Pro and move the ones I may want to work on off-site on the Mac Book Pro. Then just make sure you keep syncing the libraries (I have it automated on my systems).
