OThis manual describes operating methods for the EOS-1D Mark II N or EOS 5D and uses the EOS-1D Mark II N or EOS 5D screens in examples.I’m going to explain how I currently manage my Lightroom catalog, settings and presets, and my photographs and video archives, including how I now move from one computer to another quite seamlessly, but first a little background.Canon EOS 5D Mark III Photo Recovery is the easiest to use application to recover deleted/formatted/damaged JPEG and RAW CR2 from Canon EOS 5D Mark II/III.Until now, I’ve kept my Lightroom catalog on the internal hard drive of my desktop and laptop computers, and synched between the two before I made any major changes to the library. OIn this manual, the screens used in the examples are from Windows XP. Genuine Canon manual, English. This sale is forCanon EOS D Manual as pictured & described. I’ve talked about various aspects of this in previous episodes, but I thought I’d report on my current image management workflow for the mobile photographer.This is a used genuine Canon EOS D manual.This means when you move the Lightroom catalog all of your settings will go with it. Let’s first look at what you need to put on that external hard drive to make this all work smoothly.Firstly, I recommend that you set up Lightroom so that it saves all its presets with the catalog. I’ve been doing this a while now, and never been happier with my workflow, which is why I decided to share this today. PreparationMy entire digital workflow revolves around Lightroom, so rather than synching the Lightroom catalog and my most recent work from computer to computer, I figured that it would be easier to just put it all on an external hard drive, and move that around.(Just copy the entire Lightroom directory, including your Lightroom Catalog.lrcat file and your Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata file/folder to your external hard drive when you’re ready.) One Lightroom CatalogNote that apart from a catalog with one image in that I use in an automated process to keep my printer from running unnecessary head cleaning processes, I have all of my images in a single Lightroom catalog. This is also of course where you’ll need to go to copy your catalog to your external hard drive. Click that, and check that your Lightroom settings are now with your catalog. There is a “Show” button there. You’ll now see a “Lightroom Settings” folder in the same location as your Lightroom catalog (right).If you don’t know where your Lightroom catalog is, go to the Catalog Settings and you’ll see the path to your catalog under the General tab’s Information section.
Transfer Photos From Canon 5D Mark Ii To Mypassport Free Directly FromIt’s quite a hefty piece of kit to carry around in addition to a laptop. This may be necessary especially when traveling overseas, as the one downside of the Drobo Mini is that it isn’t very, well, mini. It’s not as fast as an internal SSD drive, but it’s fast enough to run Lightroom stress-free directly from the external hard drive.You can also run Lightroom from slower portable hard drives, but I suggest that you use at least USB3.0 connected drives, such as the WD My Passport Ultra drives that I use in my ultra-light portable workflow when I simply cannot carry the weight of the Drobo Mini in addition to my MacBook Pro. This speeds up Drobos so much that as long as you are using Thunderbolt to connect them to your computer, you really just don’t have to worry about the hard drive speed. Drobo MiniTo ensure that Lightroom works as fast as it can with this portable workflow, I recently bought a Drobo Mini with 4 x 1TB 7200 rpm hard drives, and a Crucial 250GB mSATA Internal SSD which I put into the bottom of the Drobo Mini as an accelerator disk. If you use multiple catalogs, you’ll need to decide which ones to use with this workflow, or just ensure that you move all of them to your external hard drive.This is literally everything from every shoot I’ve done that didn’t get deleted. Main Archive on Drobo 5DMy main archive of all images and video that I’ve ever shot and not deleted is almost 7TB of data, so it’s not practical to keep all of this on my portable hard drive, and because I have every image that I thought was good enough to sell or show people in my Finals folder, it’s not even necessary.I can still get to my raw images and any TIFF or PSD files that I might have also created from them, right there on my portable drive, so what I call my “Photo Originals” folder lives on my Drobo 5D attached to a desktop computer in my office studio. So basically most of what I need to access regularly is in one place and always available when I travel. This is also why I keep this linked to Lightroom, but I don’t do any editing or create collections from the Drobo #1 drive, because it not only causes you to lose track of changes and break your Lightroom collections while you’re traveling, but you also have to sync your changes back to your main copy. The main reason I do this is so that it gets backed up into the cloud via Backblaze, and we’ll talk about that shortly, but it’s important to try to keep this as a backup copy, and not a working folder of images.I do sometimes just need to reference images or grab something quickly over the network, and because my iMac stays on all the time, from anywhere in my house I can connect to the Drobo and access my Final Selects. As we can see in this screenshot (right) I have my Finals folder on both my Drobo Mini and my Drobo #1 drive (a Drobo 5D). Any later changes will also sync into the cloud, so there’s little reason to wait on this, unless you are paying for data upload. I will continue to synchronise changes to this Drobo 5D as I edit the images from my shoot, but I want to start to get my cloud backup started as quickly as possible. We all use at least one computer to work on our images, so this should be useful even if you don’t use a laptop in addition to your “base computer”.Diagram #2 iMac with Drobos and Cloud BackupAs you can also see from the diagram, because I have Backblaze set up on my iMac, as soon as I copy any new images to my Drobo 5D, they start to backup into the cloud. Let’s look first at my main computer. Diagram #1 – Base ComputerOK, so I know that this will be heavy going without some form of graphical representation of what I’m talking about, so I’ve created a few diagrams for us to reference today as I explain this further. If a hard disk fails, you simply pull it out and put a new hard disk in, and the Drobo automatically writes the necessary data back to the new hard drive, and you are safe against hard disk failures again.In my paranoid mind though, that’s not enough to feel safe. I could have a second hard disk fail before my data is fully secured after replacing the first one, and the entire unit could fail too, leaving me with nothing local to fall back on. The Drobo 5D can have one hard disk fail without losing any data. I know this is a little paranoid, but bear with me. Hp officejet pro 8600 plus driver for macChronoSync is only for the Mac OS. This is the only operating system specific part of my workflow that we’ll touch on today.
