I've been trying out Adobe Lightroom 1.1, but have run into a problem when using it to go through some of my old photos that have been backed up to DVDR and wiped from my harddisk.
So far, I've tried creating a new catalog on my HD and then importing the raw files into from the DVDR using the option to leave the files in their original location. I want to be able to browse the files, select one I passed over initially, do the RAW conversion and then edit it in Photoshop. But when I select 'Edit in Photoshop' and go through the dialog I get an error because Lightroom tries to create a copy in the original location (ie. on the DVDR), which obviously is impossible. I tried using the export function, but it wants to export all the photos in the catalog, and I can't work out how to get it to export only the one I'm interested in. I don't want to copy a ton of photos back to my HD just to get at the one I'm interested in.
What am I doing wrong? Would I be better-off just using Bridge here?
