    Best practices on laptop

    Ahhh so maybe I've been a bit dumb. I have started to use a Kingston Nucleum hub - I heard they were great. So there are a couple of USB-C ports there and I've been connecting it using one (though I think one is just for power only). I gave the setup a quick try nit using the hub and I think it...

    Best practices on laptop

    I wasn't going to split the images just put the catalog on one drive and the images on another, then the drive wouldn't have to be working so hard. THought I'd heard this somewhere.

    Best practices on laptop

    I have been struggling with speed with LR for a while. I do need to get my laptop checked out, but it doesn't struggle too badly with other programs. It is in relative terms quite elderly as I'm sure I will be told. Cameras I use are generally 24Mp models In the meantime I 'm pretty sure I don't...

    Searching through NOT missing images?

    Many of my hard drives are kept away from my laptop. But I want to search (using keywords or metadata )through my whole database for those images that are online on some connected drives. How do I do this simply please? I presume there's a way.

    Catalog update - NOT RESPONDING

    Now it's gone through twice and says unable to upgrade catalog. "Lightroom encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog file and cannot use this catalog in this version on Lightroom." Adobe technote says delete .LR.catlock file which have done but to no avail. Does this...

    Catalog update - NOT RESPONDING

    So with a new release it has demanded I upgraded my catalog. No option to ignore. ANd now it's hung halfway through optimising. What do I do? Feels wrong to cancel it.

    ...use graphics processor...?

    I seem to remember some info from way back suggesting to turn off "use Graphics Processor" I am having slow performance with an elderly Win 10 machine (which has 16GBof RAM Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz). Anything here on this screen that I should or not be doing?

    OMG what's the update done?

    OMG what's the update done?

    Hi Victoria Many thanks. I just don't understand everything seems greyed out barring a very few. My catalog is 12 years old. The photos appear on my hard drives. But in the catalong not even greyed out images appear after October 2020

    OMG what's the update done?

    I got a message to upgrade the catalog and clicked on it and and a new V10-v11 was built. However virtually none of the photos are showing up. I've tried this twice with same results. This is across several drives and the most recent of my drives only spome of 2020 photos and none of 2021. I...

    Sync - delete all? Advice on starting again.

    B But I've done this and it just takes you to the web. From there there seems no button or global way to delete everything apart from selecting all photos and deleting and then deleting again from the deleted folder. Very clumsy. Anyway I have done all the above and LR still says syncing. Seems...

    Sync - delete all? Advice on starting again.

    I have never got to grips with syncing. I toyed with it when it became available and now I have a bunch of stuff I don't really want in the cloud and wondered how to go about deleting all the Lightroom synced images. I presume all images are kept safe on the original hard drives? SO I want to...

    Want to find a replacement to Zenfolio

    Thanks for all your comments and sorry for the delay. As my renewal with Zenfolio is coming up soon I have decided to stay with them another year. I must say they were very helpful when I contacted them and have given me a decent discount. I have often fund them responsive to tech help so again...

    Want to find a replacement to Zenfolio

    I'm looking to replace my website currently managed with Zenfolio. I'm cutting the content down as I don't do (or do very few) weddings and want to focus on a portfolio site with E-commerce abilities. What are your suggestions for sites that can work with Lightroom Classic? Many thanks John

    Need to sign in everytime now????

    Thanks all and sorry for the slow response. I had to call support and I had to sign out and back in to creative Cloud. I wasn't aware that CC was linked to the running of LR. Coming from old desktop Classic I find this all sinister, like someone's watching all the time, plus the fact that there...

    Need to sign in everytime now????

    Recently started receiving messages to login with Adobe - email and password . Is this a new protocol for using Lightroom? It's damn annoying (chiefly because I can never remember password) and last week there seemed to be a complete outage and was unable to login at all for several hours...

    Map with photo info

    Ok So it's saving the file, but when I upload is says file is too big (it isn't at 3.5mb) or is it that I've generated a KMZ file instead of a KML file?

    Map with photo info

    This is exactly what I want! Thanks How on earth do you set this plugin up to do this? I've tried and tried but the instructions are not great. I think I've configured the Google cloud bit right but not sure about the plugin. Could you show me how please?

    Map with photo info

    I'm still struggling on this. Mostly my biggest issue is that the android phone I was creating GPS coordinates with produced some inaccurate results due to a an error I've now fixed. So I need to go through all my photos in LR and drag and drop the ones with missing or poor GPS coordinates. Then...
