Today Adobe released the updated/final version of ACR6.7
http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/05/02/Adobe-releases-ACR-6-7

This version has the full support for D4, D800 and D800E, plus a whole sheaf of other cameras apart from the Fuji XPro1 that I would like to see but I guess that will come next.

Maybe I've been missing something that you guys have solved with LR.

I love the way Bridge works as an image viewer - you just view the image rather than importing it into a catalog (like iPhoto and Aperture also). That is all I want to do in the "view" stage.

Is there some way to use LR and NOT create all the large messy catalogs? I did a run of the catalog file sizes and if i were to import all of my files, it wouldn't fit on my macbook 256gb SSD, so I gave the app away.

How to you cope with these big catalogs?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I have all my images in Lr3 I don't allow Lr to ingest them, there is an option during the import which gives you the option to leave the files where they are in their folders or to ingest them into the Lr database as Aperture and iPhoto do which I hate. It's close to impossible to find and access the actual files once they have been gobbled up into the database.

You can create more than one catalogue, my botanical images are separated from my general photography and have their own catalogue.

What Lr does (for me) is to create a catalogue of images at standard resolution, this allows me to wiz through my images as fast as the disk drive can access them. That is very handy if I am searching visually but the key-wording and metadata searches are top notch, I can find most things PDQ.

As Rich mentioned this morning I am starting to use Lr for basic adjustments, only turning to Photoshop for the more demanding edits where layers and cloning are needed and combining images.

What I find a nuisance is having to 'export' the processed images through an overly complex set of controls rather than a simple 'Save As' from Photoshop, that is the biggest obstacle to my using Lr for my day to day adjustments, it's more work to export them than it is to make the adjustments.

I have only about 35,000 (114Gb) images in my general catalogue.

The current catalogue file is 145Mb and the previews are 7.4Gb.

Robert-

Another thing you might try is just transferring the dmg file over your network.

When I download an app on one machine, I install it and then move it to DropBox and use that to install on the other machines in the house (you can get a 2gb free dropbox account or 5gb free on the new Amazon Cloud to handle this). Once installed, I delete the other from dropbox to save the space.

Tom

I have all my general images on an external G-Tech RAID FW800 drive on my Mac mini i7, with my current setup I can access those images from any computer in the house, OR even over the 'net from anywhere.

Of course, I also back them up!

That way I am always working from the master set. I would and did get awful confused when I had images scattered across various computers.

The key thing is not to allow Lr to ingest the image files.

Robert, you can map a drive on one computer onto another computer.
You can also log onto one machine from another as long as you have knowledge of account details on the other machine.

I use several of the computers as servers, even the boys, (7 and 11) have it sussed!

They have a HD on one computer and watch their videos and play games at the same time from the one HD...

I must admit I haven't tried mounting another computer from my own although I know it CAN be done! I have enough to keep me busy as it is.

What amazes me is the ease with which I can access the computers here when I am away. Unless of course the router has gone off-line, which it does regularly.

I plan to put the router on a time switch which turns it off for ten minutes every day at about 4am, that way if it does go off-line it get's re-set every day. I tend not to access the internet at 4am!
