I had this problem as well though with Nikon files.  It appears to be the DNG, not the type of file it comes from.  I solved it by going Media Pro -> Media Rendering and then under the Raw tab, I set the Rendering Engine to Phase One.  That solved my problems.  That being said, since I've started with LR4, I haven't added any new files to my MediaPro catalogs, prefering just to use LR as my one stop shop for DAM.  Still use Media Pro for all my old files though until I spend the weeks of tedium importing all my old files (100,000+) LR4.

Seems that none of the files from any canon camera will show the embedded preview in Media Pro.  I'm on a MAC running Lion.

I took a DNG converted in LR4, imported into LR3, reconverted, saved the preview and updated the metadata, and MP recognizes the file and allows for outputting of JPEGs.

Any CR2 files converted in LR4 give a pixel dimension of 256x171.

Any help would be appreciated!

I just got a 2011 MBP which I'd like to connect to my many internal 3.5" drives. Currently I have an aging Mac Pro which I'm selling. I've got drives inside that, as well as a bunch of 1TB and 3TB bare drives that I access via FW800 docks.

The MBP has Thunderbolt, USB 2, and FW800 ports. I understand that Tbolt is much, much faster than FW, but the Tbolt enclosures (4 bay or bigger) are very expensive. There are lots of eSATA enclosures out there that are much less expensive, and I understand eSATA is also much faster than FW. I found this Lacie Tbolt/eSATA hub, but it looks like it doesn't work with 4 bay JBOD enclosures.

Anyone know if there's an eSATA 4 or 8-bay JBOD enclosure that will work with the MBP, and utilizing the Tbolt port? I've been doing a lot of Googling and not finding the answer.

Thanks,

Jim

Hey Marc. Sorry, I'm not sure what would be a proper way of testing. Could I get a bit more detailed instructions on how to go about doing it?

The problem may be that the file times, as stored by the file system, have changed. To check this out, it's best to run experiments with just one or two files.

I realize I'm resurrecting a thread that it's almost a year old now, but I wanted to get back to it since I just did the Windows to Mac migration I wrote about in my initial post. Turns out I haven't been able to make the migration work even after following Marc's directions (and the ImageIngester/ImageVerifier manual) to the best of my knowledge. Here's what I did:

• I copied the ImageVerifier and ImageIngesterPro folders from my Windows 7 laptop (C:\Users\Jorge\AppData\Roaming) to my Macbook Pro (/Users/Jorge/Library)
• I started up IV and chose a folder of images for which I know I have created hashes in IV before on the Windows side, and I run IV on the folder with Check Hash ticked on.

For every image in the folder I got a "no hash stored error". Any ideas?

I'm running OS X 10.8 (Mountian Lion).

Cheers.

Hi Everybody

I'm after some help if possible - please.

I've been working my way through the DAM Book and the dpBestflow.org website which is extremely useful - especially the videos. I'm sure you'll agree, it's alot to take on board !

I'm now attempting to implement some of those procedures and getting 'bogged down' where settings within ChronoSync v.4.3.4 are concerned.

As you will no doubt appreciate, I really want to get this right, otherwise I might just mess things up completely, which isn't what I want to do.

I want to use ChronoSync as outlined in the book and on the web for:

Daily Backups / Archiving / Transfer to Work Station etc

Vol to Vol > Folder
Vol to Vol
Folder > Vol to Vol
Folder to Folder
.... that type of thing - verified of course.

However, some of the terminologies within CS settings are truly beyond me and that's where I need some help !
If anybody can help with the following it would be greatly appreciated. I hope I've supplied enough information regarding this request.


What settings should I use in:
SETUP:
'Target > Connect to':
Local Volumes or Local Volumes (Admin access)



What settings should I 'check or uncheck' in:
OPTIONS:

'Reporting & Error Handling':
Automatic retry before handling errors
Display summary after syncronization completes
Post more detailed information to the log
Ignore extended attribute and access control list errors


'Special File / Folder Handling':
Verify copied data      
Ignore invisibles
Don't create empty folders

Dissect packages
Disable safe-copy
Resolve aliases

Preserve comments
Preserve access control lists
Preserve extended attributes


It's all very baffling, more so when you start reading CS help. Give me shutter speeds and f/stops any day !

Many thanks for your help and time.

Hi Bob

Many thanks for your help.

Sorry for the time delay here - I thought I'd thanked you around the time of my question.

All the best

Paul

I'm interested to find a multiuser solution but on this moment it's not a big issue for me. Still working with Expression Media and with distributed catalogs it's workable to work on them with 2 persons. So i'm not looking very active but i'm following the various discussions on the topic.

Hi Sim,

I am interested whether you found a solution that fits your requirements?
