    Won't synch new photos in existing folder!?

    Thanks Cletus, I actually do understand all that and use collections all the time. I guess I just had a black-out moment since I was given the two files! : ) The folders were missing because they were moved into a subfolder on the Z drive. I just chose to delete them rather then point to the...

    Won't synch new photos in existing folder!?

    Thanks, your thoughts got me on the right track. I had several folders in the catalog on the "Z" drive (I am at a university). Those have since been moved and they were "lost" folders (a question mark next to them). nevertheless, they were the source of the images I was trying to import into...

    Won't synch new photos in existing folder!?

    Hi, I have a folder already in my catalog of around 16 TIFF images (scans from slides, not that it matters). I dropped in a couple more images in windows explorer, then tried to synchronize the folder. As you can see (if I can upload my two screen captures), it recognizes there are 4 new...

    How to make photos look so vibrant? (examples given)

    All the above is excellent advice, especially going too far! I have been guilty of this myself a few times. : ) Also, it is all very subjective... Coming from old school printing, I always like to have a deep black somewhere in the mage. Now this does not necessarily mean not getting detail...

    Using Print Module to create a border.

    I have used LR Mogrify since, well, it seems forever. I always worry that it won't work on the next LR version, since it has not been updated since LR 3 or 4 was around. But, it does work very well. You must first install imagemagic which I never quite understood how to do all it says it can...

    Quickly add a border to exported jpeg

    I have used LR/Mogrify since version LR3. It is a blessing. I still think Adobe could add that to the export pretty easily, but they don't seem to give it much priority. I worry about Mogrify because it has not been worked on since LR2 and I keep expecting it not to work on the next version...

    Using Lens Profiles

    Hi, this question may show either my ignorance and/or laziness, but I never paid attention to the lens profiles. But looking at the new LR updates and all the new lenses it added, i am wondering if maybe I have been missing something really useful!? I tried it out on LR5 (at work), which...

    Getting "button" out if way with adjustment brush

    The "H" key, perfect! Thanks. (I had just thought of your "or" choice as I was typing my question, but was hoping, and rightly so, that a better alternative was out there). Cheers!

    Getting "button" out if way with adjustment brush

    Hi, Some frustration that has been there for a long time... Often when I have a small little area to select to lighten or darken, often a face of someone in an image, but small, just about the size of the button, the button covers the entire face and I cannot really tell what I am doing. Can...

    LR 6. Border / Frame

    I have been griping about this since V. 3 came out without this. I use Mogrify, and fortunately it still works, but it has not been updated for a very long time and I am nervous everytime I upgrade to a new OS. I still can't understand why Adobe can't add this feature as part of the export...

    Images acknowledged, but won't import

    Updating it did the trick! Thanks. P.S. I used to get notices for new updates when I opened lightroom. Maybe it is different with this CC version, or is there a setting I missed? Cheers everyone!

    Images acknowledged, but won't import

    OK, not sure I followed everything. But I am attaching a screenshot after I checked the "show imports..." and then the screen showed all the images in all the subfolders in that folder "Family" that I was synchronizing. The two new subfolders showed up under the drop down window and I...

    Images acknowledged, but won't import

    Hi All, Good to be back! : ) And Happy New Year! This issue just started a few weeks ago. I put some folders with images into a parent folder, I did it in Windows Explorer. I ALWAYS do this (for 10+ years!?). Then I "synchronized" the folder. The first window (see attachments) shows...
