    Backup everything, did I miss something?

    Johan is correct to remind you of images. You need backups of the catalog, presets and your original images. The Import process registers the location of you images in the catalog, but does not make full size copies of the original image. The How many copies are enough? At one time I only had...

    Is there any way to compare two photos one above the other instead of side by side?

    Survey View tries to use the space available. You are correct, narrowing the display works. First open both side panels and then use your mouse to grab one of the side edges and narrow LR until the space between the side panels is a vertical.

    Feature comparison: LR 6.14, LR Classic and LR Cloud

    Thank you for your help. For me, the two biggest takeaways are: 1) Classic supports a local photo printer out of LR using full resolution RAW and Cloud does not support the local printer but substitutes upload of JPGs (Not full RAW data) to ether http://www.whcc.com or http://www.printique.com...

    Feature comparison: LR 6.14, LR Classic and LR Cloud

    I started using LR with the pre-release Windows Beta in 2006 and stopped updates with 6.14 which I still use today. I am starting to consider moving to the subscription version. What is the best source for feature comparison between LR 6.14, LR Classic and Lightroom Cloud?

    Linking photos on a hard drive to Lightroom

    Be aware that LRC is a non destructive editor. This means the edits you make to an image are stored in the LRC Catalog and the original image remains unaltered. Your LR catalog's Data Base system is where all edits to the images reside. This requires you to have a backup of the LRC Catalog in...

    Cant view images in collections

    True, but the \ key can hide the filter visibility without disabling the filter. In Grid mode \ is a toggle that hides or reviles the filter tool. If you do not see the filers at the top of the screen, press \ to see if any of them are active.

    Hello .. and I hope you can help.

    Rob: Ver 5.4 has no cloud. Steve: Lightroom only shows images that have been Imported. What LR Import does is register the image address in the Catalog. If you have a high level folder with 6 subfolders and you only Import 4 subfolders, the other two will not show up in LR until they are...

    How could I unsharpen special areas?

    The Develop module Brush has a slider for sharpening. The slider is centered, move it to the right to increase and to the left to decrease sharping. You may apply more than one layer to accomplish the desired effect. Remember to used feathering on the brush so edges are not too harsh.
