    Local Adjustments folder vs Local Corrections folder

    Interesting. So only develop presets are shared between Lightroom and Camera Raw, yes? Can local adjustment presets (in Lightroom) have a folder structure? Also, do I presume correctly that the following are built-in (to LR) Local Adjustment Presets? They don't appear in the Local Adjustment...

    Local Adjustments folder vs Local Corrections folder

    I never paid much attention to preset locations because I didn't use very many (either Develop or Local Adjustment), and I still don't. I was poking around in the folder tree beneath .../Application Support/Adobe (I am on a Mac), and found theses two folders: /Users/me/Library/Application...

    My Mac cannot open or view files converted by LR from tiff to DNG

    @johnrellis - Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I posted on the XnView forum, and the developer said it was a bug but she would correct in the next release.

    My Mac cannot open or view files converted by LR from tiff to DNG

    My apologies for the proceeding post… stupid operator error! The correct post follows the right below the quote from John Ellis' post: Well, this is curious, indeed. I used exactly the same settings on my conversion to a dng. Looking at the output from exiftool of an image, it appears at...

    My Mac cannot open or view files converted by LR from tiff to DNG

    Well, I have modified my workflow for less important and more casual images to have them processed through an external app (cuts down my editing time). This is done by exporting to a tiff file, which balloons the file size significantly. Since it is highly likely that I will never edit any of...

    My Mac cannot open or view files converted by LR from tiff to DNG

    Digging further, I saw that the box to convert to lossy DNG was checked. Experimenting further, I realized that with this box checked, no matter what preview size drop-down option is chosen, the longer edge of the embedded preview is always 256 pixels. I suppose that this behavior could be...

    My Mac cannot open or view files converted by LR from tiff to DNG

    I just download and looked at XnView MP, which was able to open a TIFF-->DNG file or viewing. However, it appears to be using the embedded small image (192 x 256 for an image in portrait mode) rather than looking at all the TIFF data in the DNG container. That makes it useful for getting a quick...

    My Mac cannot open or view files converted by LR from tiff to DNG

    Thanks very much for your suggestion. Although I was pretty sure that I had "in bed fast low data" checked, I just ran a test again. No luck. :(

    My Mac cannot open or view files converted by LR from tiff to DNG

    I converted some TIFF files to DNG files from within Lightroom, and those files are not viewable either by using Preview or Quick Look. Files converted by light roll from CR3 to the DNG can be viewed by both Preview & Quick Look. This is both puzzling and annoying. Anyone aware of an external...

    "Export containing keywords"

    In about an hour, I got it down from over 3000 images to about 1200. Not bad return on time investment.

    "Export containing keywords"

    Very clever! I never would've thought of that. I am pretty certain that the issue with explicit ancestors (containing keywords) being assigned came about not at random, but from a few times when I did something whose consequences I didn't fully understand. As a result, although I have over...

    "Export containing keywords"

    So it does! There are so many things your plug-ins can do that is a challenge to understand them all! Now that I have found for 3092 photos that have explicit containing keywords assigned, the challenge becomes how to delete those containing keywords without having to go through each of the...

    (Accidentally) converting a lossy DNG to a loss DNG

    By accident, I ended up converting a lossy DNG to a lossy DNG. The result of this second conversion was a file that is exactly the same size as the prior lossy DNG. From this I am concluding that Lightroom is smart enough not to try to reconvert a DNG that is already lossy (thus avoiding the...

    "Export containing keywords"

    Is there a way to filter on/search for photos that have both a keyword and one or more containing keywords explicitly assigned?

    "Export containing keywords"

    After giving it some thought, I think I have a workaround that will allow me to accomplish what I wish to do. It does add a bit to the workflow, and I have to be careful to make sure I do it correctly. Export using Friedl's Metadata Wrangler plugin to export without including any keywords, and...

    "Export containing keywords"

    Thanks to both John and Victoria for their suggestion there's suggestion to check the box for Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy. Unfortunately, that did not work. The screenshot below shows the keyword panel for a test image with just three keywords. The 2nd and 3rd keywords are part of a...

    "Export containing keywords"

    In my Lightroom set up, when a new keyword is created, the box for "export containing keywords" is checked by default. I never paid this much attention, because I didn't use the export function very frequently, and when I did export, I didn't really care if the containing keywords were exported...

    95% size reduction when converting 16-bit tiffs to DNG (!!??)

    I'm running some tests on ProRAW files from an iPhone 14 Pro. The photos were sent via AirPlay from the iPhone 14 Pro to another iPhone, where they synced to iCloud and from there to the Photos app on my iMac*. I exported (as originals) these images, and imported into LrC. The total file size...

    import iphone photos ( are optimized on phone, but have Full Res in Apple photos on mac mini)

    Since you said you had "download originals to this Mac" checked, you simply could select all the photos you want to get into LrC, export as originals from Photos to a folder of your choice, then import into LrC from that folder. There is (was?) no need to redownload all the files from iCloud to...

    Converting Cr3 files to dng

    You shouldn't have to convert the CR3 files to DNG in order to send them to PS via "Edit in." I send .CR3 files from LR to PS all the time. Is it only the .CR3 files that you cannot send to PS via "Edit in"? Are these files on an external drive that is not connected so you are working off of...

    lrcat file missing - no recent backup - urgent help needed

    1. Since you should be backing up your your main drive regularly anyway (best method = runs automatically so you don't have to initiate in manually), your #1 would be taken care of by setting up a good general backup strategy 2. I have LR make backups EVERY time I quit LR. Doesn't take that...
