LR3

When marking a photo with a Reject Photo or pressing the Delete key, Lightroom only deletes that photo from that collection. But what about the other collections and what about really deleting that photo?

1. The hard way? Switch to the collection All Photographs, you will keep your position and Lightroom will highlight the photo that you want to delete and press the Delete key.
2. The easy way?

In the “good old days” aka before digital aka film, if you were a professional, you would take your photos, process the film, make a contact sheet of the film and file the negatives in a PVC free plastic sheet. Finally, we would print a few of the photos.

Now we have to import everything into Lightroom before reviewing the photos. This photos are automatically placed in the Previous Import collection and in the All Photographs collection at the same time. They will stay in the Previous Import until the next import.

My steps

1.

I just had a Lightroom crash. It took me a day of figuring what caused the crash, then came the work of recovering from the crash.

Usually, Lightroom doesn't crash unless there a problem somewhere else. The keyword here is “usually”. For me, it was a change in the operating system. At first, I thought that it was the drive that was corrupted.

As you must have seen everywhere on the web, Lightroom 3.5 is out. This is the ready for general consumption release, not the release candidate. They are a few changes since the release candidate (RC).

A few more bug fixes. The PDF list is on Adobe's website: http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/Lightroom_35_ReadMe.pdf. Also, they have done some significant optimizations. On a “smaller” computer 64-bit, 2 core CPU and 3Gb RAM computer, the new 3.5 fells “crispier” than the release candidate.

I'm Windows 64 bit, there are been a significant increase in size.

It's very easy and simple to correct existing keywords that are misspelled. Right Click on the keyword in the keyword in the right panel → select Edit Keyword Tag or Rename and type in the new spelling. You are done!

What about all the existing photos? It's already done. How?

None of the photos are actually associated with the keywords. Here's the table that configures the keywords. Each photo is associated the various id_global.
