Lightroom 1.1 Tip - Synchronize Folders

14/07/07 Filed in: Lightroom Tips
At last Lightroom now has a fully functional and working synchronize folders ability. Version 1.1 lacked this and it was very time consuming to have to manually add new images to the folder structure. Now all you have to do is highlight the folder you want to synchronise,.right click and select Synchronise Folder. This can be done at any level within the folder hierarchy.

You get a dialog box after the scan starts which will then allow you to set options. See below.

Once the scan has finished you get an import dialog menu which will allow you to set metadata and key words etc.

Hope this tip helps you.

Lightroom 1.1 Tip - Include Subfolder Photos

05/07/07 Filed in: Lightroom Tips
The latest Lightroom 1.1 release has a new command to allow you to toggle the inclusion and display of sub folder items. The previous 1.0 version lacked this command and would display the thumbnails from the selected folder plus any sub folders.

It is very useful to be able to exclude subfolder items if you organize your library by folders as you can identify photos that are at the top level and need to be moved to a subfolder.

Whilst not exactly a new feature for an image management program, it is one which was lacking from the 1.0 Lightroom release.

Hope this tip helps you.
