    Metadata Changed

    In the Windows File Manager it's possible to call up another field - "Date Taken" - whose contents LR doesn't alter in its editing processes. Perhaps you can set "Finder" so it shows that? Peter

    Catalogs Single vs Multiple Catalogues

    I've organised my picture files into three distinct collections, which reside in separate folder trees... - some 30,000 original images and scans of photos and slides, shot here in Britain, spanning four decades - about the same number taken during our years abroad and on foreign vacations -...

    Speeding up "Export" - possible, worthwhile?

    Indeed a good idea, if only I could learn how to tell beforehand! :) Regards, Peter

    Might I refer you to the opening post?

    Speeding up "Export" - possible, worthwhile?

    Thanks, but it's something I've had to do at least twice before! Motherboards with further slots would a much better solution, rather than rendering the original memory redundant.,, although there are only two spaces in this instance - however the vendor... Computer Memory | Laptop Memory |...

    Speeding up "Export" - possible, worthwhile?

    Thanks to you both! Jim - I could but laugh... tried to time a similar export from a very similar but unedited RAW file, only to hear LR bong to say the job was done before I'd finished starting my watch's timer! So I guess it's all those extra calculations my sad old processor is having to...

    Speeding up "Export" - possible, worthwhile?

    Just wondering, although not keen to spend the money to speed things up, but which of my PC's various shortcomings is the most likely cause of it taking perhaps 30 seconds to export a 2048 pixel long-side JPG from a 12MP RAW file (one that has, admittedly, undergone quite a lot of local...

    LR Classic CC / Win 10 Task Manager

    Rather too many guesses - and I guess I should be asking in a Windows10 forum, rather than one for people who know about Lightroom? Probably better we consider the matter closed for now - but will return with any explanation / solution that turns up!

    LR Classic CC / Win 10 Task Manager

    Just for completeness, seems it was for LR5 - in 2015 - that they forced users to 64 bits ... Older versions of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) system requirements And apparently Adobe QT32 Server is a processor for handling 32-bit Quicktime files in a 64-bit environment?

    LR Classic CC / Win 10 Task Manager

    Sorry - but, re Classic, where's 32 bit in.... Lightroom Classic system requirements

    Remove old LR preference files to resolve bad LR performance?

    Think you'll find that it's been a solution for their various photo-editing products for many years.... although the terminology used can vary! So, for example, this site has a page that starts... "If you’re still having problems, resetting Lightroom’s Preferences file can solve all sorts of...

    LR Classic CC / Win 10 Task Manager

    Fairly sure I only started to see this after one of the most recent updates to LR ( probably, to 7.3 ), but only began watching carefully after Firefox began using significantly more memory than previously! Found something similar on the Microsoft Community forums: "Task Manager not showing...

    LR Classic CC / Win 10 Task Manager

    That aside... attached are screengrabs of the TM open over LR - in one all is behaving just as might be expected - in two of the others (after doing various editing tasks, exports etc and popping out to other progs and back) LR is no longer making an appearance, neither in the list of open...

    LR Classic CC / Win 10 Task Manager

    I'm surprised by the way Lightroom now disappears from the "Processes" list in the Windows 10 Task Manager - requiring a restart of the latter to see it again. Not really a fault as such, but I like to keep an eye on the memory usage. Is this only my installation, or something that others...

    Import Please release me - after import!

    Thanks for the suggestion Tim - I'll try one or two other cards and see what happens!

    Import Please release me - after import!

    Good thing that this site doesn't have "Problem Solved" flags - as it's back happening again, just like before, on my next LR session! Peter PS the "Eject after..." option seems to only appear when an external source, the SD card in my case, is connected and selected. Look for the jpg...

    Import Please release me - after import!

    Jim, thanks for your reply - it nudged me into turning "Eject after Import" OFF, and restarting LR and turning it ON again.... after which it does now "Eject after Import", just like it used to ! Should have thought to try that.... duuh.

    Import Please release me - after import!

    Haven't shot much recently, thanks to awful weather, but I'm finding that my SD cards aren't being "released" after the uploading/importing process ends - indeed, the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" routine then reports that it's still in use, until after I've closed Lightroom. Any...

    Develop module Export duplicates catalog entries

    Thanks Johan - for now I'll amend those Presets!

    Develop module Export duplicates catalog entries

    [Edit to add... turning off the "Stack With" option does at least stop the extra entry being produced, but isn't as convenient!!] Images - which I hope aren't too big? View of the folder in LR Catalog - and in Explorer Details of the Export Preset used for the Filename-41 version

    Develop module Export duplicates catalog entries

    Operating System: Windows 10 Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): Lightroom Classic version: 7.0.1 [ 1142117 ] Hi there! Now using Lightroom Classic, for images I shoot in RAW + JPG and then stack as pairs in my Catalog (an unchanged workflow, from LR5 days). But now I find that...
