    LR Classic - Storage & Performance

    The drives in the enclosure were not configured as raids.... so just a bunch of disks.... but... I only experienced the odd behaviour when they were in the thunderbolt enclosure. I moved the disks to internal drives and the background processing disappeared .... or at least become non...

    LR Classic - Storage & Performance

    I found performance , when using images stored on a Thunderbolt 3 enclosure to be extremely erratic , sometimes unusable, sometimes just below par. I sense that the enclosure would do some background processing every so often and I could hear disk i/o even though I was not active on my PC...

    NVidea GEForce Graphics Firmware Update - Beware

    I have told this story several times .... I escalated the non use of my gpu in a fully specified, expensive laptop to relatively senior management in Dell. I was assigned a senior engineer to deal with my issue, who was an ultimate professional and understood that I understood the issue . I...

    Previews Corrupted (I think?)

    Just make sure that your catalog is not inadvertently stored in a folder which in some way may be connected to a cloud storage service. For example, sometimes the default location may be the Pictures folder, which may in turn be linked to an iCloud service, or on Windows to OneDrive. Probably...

    Previews Corrupted (I think?)

    Where is the catalog stored. Is it also on Google Drive.

    Folder Organizing Question

    I always check because. a. Bitter experience (and I am experienced enough not to make this error) b. Cleaning up the mess of people who do not check. The settings can be correct 99% of the time or have been working for the last 9 years…. but this one will catch you eventually.

    Lightroom not responding

    This is just a brain dump of some of the things I would try. 1. How much free space is on your system drive. 2. Try recalibrating your screen Or using a different screen profile. A corrupt profile might cause odd behaviour. I do not know if there is a way to validate profiles, maybe some one...

    Old B&W Photo Restoration Software

    While the new selection tools in Lr are fab, for detailed, pixel level editing, it is hard to beat the granularity and precision and tools available in Photoshop. A plugin for PS called Lumenzia by Greg Benz is super for creating luminosity masks, which can be extremely useful for mono images...

    Develop module Hopefully, a Simple Mouse Question

    A few thoughts. 1. Maybe LoupeDeck is using the small adjustment feature (and maybe related keyboard short cuts) to apply analogue adjustments thru the LoupeDeck exposure (say wheel). 2. I have thought on multiple occasions what a nuisance it is to have got used to using a mouse with our right...

    Upgrading to Win 11 Pro with LrC 12 - any caveats?

    To David-W. Much appreciate the concise focused response. Very useful. I use a Ryzen processor, will check if any benefits there. I have long ago found alternatives to Explorer and Windows Search and happy with current Snap functionality. I will probably change my view re Win 11 to...

    Upgrading to Win 11 Pro with LrC 12 - any caveats?

    Any time I checked the benefits of upgrading to Win 11 ... I could not see a clear benefit to upgrade. I did not want the disruption of dealing with new GUI features and with a 32 inch screen there are less advantages for any new GUI features. I accept I may be missing something . What new...

    Upgrading to Win 11 Pro with LrC 12 - any caveats?

    When I last built a custom Win machine I installed 64 GB of memory and left it easy for myself to upgrade to 128 GB if I needed more memory. In reality, I have the strong sense that my machine rarely uses more than half of my installed memory and have often wondered why Windows has not been...

    LR Classic - Storage & Performance

    Consider deleting the previews and rebuilding them or a section of them you would consider optimal. Sometimes junk can build up in the preview folder (app crashes, power outage, etc) and starting from scratch can be a good exercise every year or two. Also, there can be corrupt previews in this...

    Develop module Hopefully, a Simple Mouse Question

    I have just tested the Logi MX Master 3 on my MacAir. I can confirm that my findings are the same as Jim Wilde. I never use that feature, so never noticed the different behaviour. I have purchased the LoupeDeck Live ..... but for a lot of reasons I have not had the opportunity to install...

    LR Classic - Storage & Performance

    I have tried various storage strategies, starting with internal spinning disks, then Nas, then Thunderbolt enclosure. Now, my preferred strategy is to have my catalog and current years images on an internal Ssd and all my previous years images on an internal spinning disk. I use my Thunderbolt...

    The Logi Mx Master 3 works as per your test on my Win machine. It may be several days before I will be able to test on my MacAir (on loan).

    I use the following device for several reasons. 1. Programmable keys. 2. Precision and speed of response 3. Works without cable and recharges when usb cable plugged in. 4. The extra scroll wheel is superb and programmable. 5. Designed to work for Mac or Win. One negative is that the...

    Print module Positioning a logo on a print

    I have been complaining since Lr beta that Lr should have improved ability to precisely place metadata on print and books, but have been a lonely voice in the wilderness. I am also surprised that Adobe have not provided direct integration between Lr and Template layouts within InDesign...

    Print module Positioning a logo on a print

    For exact positioning as described, I would be inclined to do this within Photoshop. Your licence includes PS.

    Develop module Hopefully, a Simple Mouse Question

    Does your mouse / keyboard come with software to configure the mouse keys / functions / sensitivity. Some mice can also be calibrated to optimise their behaviour relative to the surface the mouse is used on. Some time ago, I purchased a gaming mouse, mainly to be able to have a few extra...

    Out of gamut colors

    I cannot answer the main thrust of your query, just a few points. The camera setting to use AdobeRGB applies only to the jpg created in camera and probably inbuilt preview files. It is only recently that it has been generally possible to get screens which can cater for approaching the AdobeRGB...

    Bad move

    Thanks for this very useful info. I am a big fan of TreeSize on Windows and have used DaisyDisk on Mac… but DaisyDisk is sub par compared to TreeSize on Windows, so glad to get a few more leads, especially for Mac. I am also a fan of BeyondCompare, for lots of reasons, incl the fact it works on...
