I am a member of NAPP, I've read ( looked at ) your book, Scott's book and another guy who writes for "Dummies" and I still can't get the hang of LR2. Now the program takes fore ever to load from a card and actually has the nerve to reject photos from the same card taken the same day. Can you give me some idea where I can go to fix the slow thing?

If an 82 years old like me can understand it you are a genius. There is one question I need the answer to, sorry if it sounds stupid: When you have imported your photos (in my case NEF RAW Files) and copied them to your photos location/organize/sub folder. Do you then in Lightroom Library add any flags or stars or other means of identifying them in a Lightroom folder, prior to going into Develop mode?. It may be that I have misunderstood something and that pictures do not remain in the Lightroom Library permanently. Your help would be appreciated. Bert Housley Hi

I bought Lightroom a few months ago and would be greatly interested in watching your video tutorials. I downloaded "Where to store your images in Lightroom" but do not know how to watch it. My computer cannot open it. I am pretty ignorant regarding these things and would greatly appreciate any help you can offer Thank you Bert Housley Hi

In the Library module, select the source Folder on the left-hand panel, which will display all images in that folder on the Grid. Then drag the thumbnails from the Grid to the new destination Folder(s). This will move the actual file on disk and Lightroom will update its internal database to reflect the new file location.

One suggestion (which may not apply to what you’re doing). I strongly recommend using keyword tags to sort photos and not physical directories. Keywords especially become useful when a particular photo could be placed in more than one directory. I have a single dumping ground, broken up by date (makes importing directly from a CF card easy), and tag everything as I import the new photos.

How do I do that and keep my Library pointing to those photos in the new folder? Many thanks I would like to move some of my imported photos into a different folder and delete the original folder I imported into.

Great site. Keep up the good work. I have a question related to importing that maybe Matt vd Donk eluded to above. I shoot in the RAW + JPEG mode, and when Lightroom imports these, obviously only one thumbnail is shown in the Grid view (and mousing over the thumbnail will show an extension of ("RAW + JPEG"). When I go to the Develop module, it is not clear as to which file is being used as the base image that is being edited. I guess I was surprised to see that the tonal curve already had adjustments applied to it without any editing done in Lightroom, so I have a slight suspicion that some of the JPEG data is being used. Thanks, Eric Matt,

i have a problem that’s kind of related, maybe you know more…
after reinstalling my OS and Lightroom i accidentally forgot to change the setting of where files are being copied to.
so my library got messed up with files from various folders that i deleted because i assumed the image files had been copied to the archive location i used in my previous installation.
now i lost a few folders of photo’s, yet i do get fullsize previewing of these ‘missing photo’s’ in Lightroom.
is there anyway to write this preview image data that is stored within the lightroom catalog back to jpeg files?
the files i imported were jpegs to begin with, pictures taken with a mobile phone (and of low resolution, but memoriable pictures of a meeting with a friend that i don’t want to lose!)… thanks a lot.

Can you explain why a RAW picture looks so different in LR compared with Canon Zoombowser EX? I have to do much more in LR than in zoombrowser ex. Another point, I want to use the best colorspace which is possible. When I want to finetune a picture in CS3 what colorspace do I choose in LR and in CS3? I think AdobeRGB but I've read you say ProPhotoRGB. I hope you can tell me more about this. Hello Matt,

“I don’t understand why you would have lightroom move the files at all? Why not leave them in their original location. ”

Because I download them to a local drive of limited size, develop them in LR, and then want to move them to an external HD to free up space on the local drive. Or, I may have moved files to an external drive previously, decide I want to work on them (e.g. move/copy to C Drive) and then move them back to the external drive. Basically the local drive is only used for downloading and developing, so the source file may have to move to/from the external drive as needed.
