    Lightroom Classic - Face Recognition Getting Significantly Worse?

    I appreciate the effort you've gone through here to suggest the methods I might use to engage Adobe. In my case, however, the workaround of requesting Find Faces Again is much less effort than pursuing a possible bug resolution that might not happen. Again thanks for the tip you provided that...

    Lightroom Classic - Face Recognition Getting Significantly Worse?

    Turns out - this is the magic word - thank-you johnrellis. When I create a new catalog - it indexes faces (you can see the progress bar, pause/resume/etc.) so I naively assumed this is doing full face recognition with the latest algorithms Adobe supplies. However, running Find Faces Again runs...

    Lightroom Classic - Face Recognition Getting Significantly Worse?

    This is NOT the case in the degradation I am seeing as the very poor grouping of faces will occur even in a brand new catalog or on a different Mac (Arm).

    Lightroom Classic - Face Recognition Getting Significantly Worse?

    This is in reference to Lightroom Classic version 11.4.1 on an Intel Mac running Monterey 12.5 but applies to previous versions of Lightroom Classic as well. My memory will not be able to provide dates and versions but I remember eagerly waiting for face recognition in Lightroom Classic and...

    Pokey LR on Mac with SSD?

    File placement is not an issue for me - everything is on one SSD. The OP is noting inconsistent use of the ACR cache so getting FLD from DNG may be preferable. It's at least worth an experiment to see. Update: So I just re-ran a comparison - 25 NEF files (24 MP), advancing image to image in...

    Pokey LR on Mac with SSD?

    Exploring further today I have an observation (well speculation to offer). If I purge the raw cache and monitor the folder - no cache files are then created when I work with DNG files containing fast load data (cache files are created while working with Nikon NEF files). I wonder if it would be...

    Pokey LR on Mac with SSD?

    Well the test I did this morning before replying to your message was to import 25 DNG files (Nikon D7100 - 24 megapixels. The DNG files have embedded fast load data and medium size previews). During import I rendered Standard size previews at Auto size (2880) and medium quality. When preview...

    Pokey LR on Mac with SSD?

    Not every Mac user experiences this but it's long been a puzzle to me why some do and some do not (I do not - neither on a retina iMac nor on a 2012 retina Macbook Pro). There are many additional details that would be needed to investigate your issue, What camera are you using, what image size...

    LR6 - synology, picasa, lightroom - face recognition differences

    LR stores the face names that it recognizes in Subject (e.g. keywords), hierarchicalSubject and mwg-rs:Name Open the file in Photoshop, look at File Info and then RAW XMP data.

    Edit in Photoshop opens clone Photoshop instead of original in Applications folder

    I have precisely the same issue and have had for a while (preceding Yosemite). For now I click Update and the functionality of Photoshop is unimpaired so I've not looked deeper. I would speculate that this might somehow relate to OS X's launch control database but this is nothing more than...

    Advice For Backup/Redundancy Strategy

    Three thoughts. (1) If your LR catalog or photo folders get messed up (user error as one possible cause) might the chrono sync then replicate the damage before you became aware of the problem? (2) Does your Time Machine backup explicitly include either of the external drives containing LR...

    Need suggestions for the best plugin for finding and deleting duplicates in LR5

    Not a plugin and Mac specific but Photosweeper: http://overmacs.com/photosweeper.html is Lightroom aware and has very versatile options for photo comparison from strict duplicates to close matches.

    Lightroom And Yosemite

    Just a further update on my original posting. Doing an upgrade installation from Mavericks to Yosemite - Lightroom and Photoshop worked fine. CC Desktop, however, would crash with a segmentation fault shortly after each launch. I tried many, many things including very thorough removals and...
