    Import Camera 16:9 aspect ratio not consistent in LR

    Thanks again for the extra info. I certainly understand what you say but surely once the camera's been set to 16:9 and not changed again (by the human operator), one would expect the data output to be constant. Additionally, as I mentioned, the aspect ratio remains OK when the same files were...

    Import Camera 16:9 aspect ratio not consistent in LR

    Yes, that could be the answer, though I don't see why it would be so intermittent and why problematical on just the one PC? I'll download the latest update for the camera. This might help. Thanks again.

    Import Camera 16:9 aspect ratio not consistent in LR

    Hello DC Bolton, Many thanks for your fast reply. My Sony is set to RAW only. However, as you'll see our colleague 'Clee' has come up with a diagnosis and fix. However, the question remains, why some files and not others, when the camera was set to 16:9 for everything. Thanks again for your...

    Import Camera 16:9 aspect ratio not consistent in LR

    Hello 'Clee', Your swift response is very much appreciated. Yes, I know about RAW files being unadorned, full size and all that. You're right about checking the aspect ratio and a quick check reveals that images not displaying as 16:9 show as 'Original' whereas those which are 16:9 do indeed...

    Import Camera 16:9 aspect ratio not consistent in LR

    I'm puzzled. Whilst on holiday I shot a series of images with my Sony A6500 camera set to 16:9 ratio. When I loaded the RAW files to my laptop PC, all images display as 16:9. However, back home, I've loaded the same images from the camera memory cards to my desktop PC and only about 15%...

    Lightroom Back-up stalls at 'Checking Catalog Integrity'

    Hello Johan, Here's an update: I started another back-up but it failed once again whilst 'Checking Integrity'. As a previous test had proved successful, I decided to create a new back-up folder on another drive, (C Drive) and import all the Catalog information into it. I began by copying the...

    Lightroom Back-up stalls at 'Checking Catalog Integrity'

    Hello Johan, I tried another ploy. I unzipped the ircat file from another back-up earlier this month, pointed Lightroom at it and created a new back-up folder on the Desktop. It took ages with just 'Checking Integrity' showing, I thought it was stalled again but then suddenly it progressed...

    Lightroom Back-up stalls at 'Checking Catalog Integrity'

    Thanks Johan, I'll try this and let you know how it goes. No more tonight though as I've had enough for one day. Your support and advice is very much appreciated.

    Lightroom Back-up stalls at 'Checking Catalog Integrity'

    Although, come to think about it, the back-up problem occurred before I updated to the latest version. I updated to CC2015.8 in an attempt to overcome the problem.

    Lightroom Back-up stalls at 'Checking Catalog Integrity'

    Thank you Johan, There, then, appears to be some solace if I have to re-import everything from what you say about saving Metadata to a file. I did mention that I created a new Catalog at one stage today and imported a few (about 40 files) into it and this backed-up OK. This, then, would suggest...

    Lightroom Back-up stalls at 'Checking Catalog Integrity'

    Hello Johan, Many thanks for your helpful reply. I made a new 'Test catalog' and added some images. This backed-up OK. I've created a new catalog and imported everything into it from a saved back-up from 12th December. This took a while as you would expect. I closed Lightroom and started...

    Lightroom Back-up stalls at 'Checking Catalog Integrity'

    I've been successfully backing-up for years. Suddenly when backing-up the progress bar will not move when at 'Checking Catalog Integrity' step (and I've allowed some two hours to check this). I've tried deleting the 'Preferences' folder, deleting 80% of previous back-ups (to create more...
