    Color Profiles and Presets on Apple Monitors and Laptop Screens

    Which means that when you look at a set of gamuts, (eg #11 above), 100% of what you see is constrained by what your monitor can display. Ie, you can NEVER see anything outside the gamut of the device you are using and what is displayed at #11 is an approximation. It is also helpful to...

    Catalogs Lr cannot find 78,145 photos that it could locate a few days ago

    Yes, this is a critical difference between operating within the zip archive and extracting all of it before running up LR. Make sure to use "extract all" first! Then launch from the extracted files, not the one within the zip archive.

    Moving to new PC

    That all looks like good news. However, you really want to get to 6.14, not 6.1.4 (unless that is a typo). I don't know where you can source a copy of 6.14 to upgrade with.

    Catalogs Lr cannot find 78,145 photos that it could locate a few days ago

    You might want to check if the drive is failing or there is a connection problem. LR is very good with drives, problems like this might indicate a developing hardware fault.

    CC App Starting University with Access to Full Adobe Suite

    I can't speak for Adobe, but it might be worth contacting them and see if they will refund the £20 too as a good will gesture. You haven't left Adobe at all and as a student they have to hope you will use more Adobe products in the future. Seems to me it is worth an ask, provided it doesn't...

    LTO based Tape Backups.

    I'm not sure what the massive advantages are for LTO these days. Not for personal 'photography' type backup. The media is pricey, the equipment expensive and the reliability good, though not excellent. I find it far, far cheaper and more convenient to backup onto SATA drives. Yes, LTO works...

    LR 6.14 Edit in does not open Photoshop Elements 2024

    This isn't a total answer by any means. I tend to find the file in the OS and drag over the target software, which is already running. Ie, I drop the file into the program's window. Now, of course this will not include any LR edits, so export the file as a tiff first. Clumsy true, but it...

    LR6 suddenly crashed

    Hello Shawn As a Windows user, I'm not able to offer much help to you. However the usual advice in your situation is to delete (actually, simply rename it temporarily) the LR preferences file and see if that fixes the problem. I am unable to tell you where the LR preferences file is on a Mac...

    Installing Lightroom 6 on Windows 11 Laptop "Update Your Browser"

    Just asking. What happens if somebody moves to the subscription version of LR latest and then stops paying the subscription fee? Does the database keep going, but the develop and other major modules stop working? IIRC that used to be the situation. If correct, then migrating to the latest...

    Apple Photos on new M3

    Why do you need to do this? It might satisfy your desire to have a neat and tidy files structure on your disk, however LR is perfectly happy for you to create your own virtual structure and organise your images within it. That is the point of using LR's organisational capabilities. There is...

    Computer hardware for LR....

    The laptop versions of CPUs and GPUs do not have the out and out grunt of the desktop versions. The laptop ones are reworked to make energy efficiency a higher priority. It is possible to buy effectively desktop performance in a 'laptop' package, these are big heavy machines and better...

    Computer hardware for LR....

    Should be ok. While I am sure there are other (slight) differences, the main differences seem to be number of cores. F means no built-in GPU and K means unlocked, I wouldn't bother unless you find it interesting to do so. A decent cooler helps the CPU to run a maximum speed and modern CPUs...

    Running Windows On Mac.... Welcome some expet advice.

    In Windows, you can right-click a disk image ISO and mount it (as a disk drive letter). Ie, there is no need to burn it to media, though you can do that as well.

    Running Windows On Mac.... Welcome some expet advice.

    Is the magazine PC Pro available to you? They routinely run offers on Windows for far less than that sort of money, though it is in the UK.

    default download folder

    While I use Windows, when it comes to importing images into LR I assume the Mac is very similar. I never allow the OS or other software to 'decide' where to put my images. I use a card reader and _always_ drag the images to a (new) folder in the destination of my choosing. I then drag that...

    Computer reboots during export

    It could also be an inadequate power supply. If the PC draws more power than the PSU can supply, a reboot without warning or logged error messages can result. BTW, I have been vacuuming PCs for years and haven't had a problem. I make sure the power cord is plugged in but not switched on at...

    Erratic Screen Behaviour

    Hi Gnits I don't think this is going to help your exact problem, but well, whatever. I have a monitor (on HDMI) with a very slow start-up. It is a modern one, so should work ok and is good for photo editing, though I use it more for general purpose work. Anyway, that slow start up used to...

    Pet Photography — Best Practices

    I believe one method is to attach a treat to the lens hood, combined with sit or stay.

    Hi, ik heb een probleem met AI ruis binnen LR. Het bestand kan niet worden weggeschreven

    The usual method in summary (applies in most cases), is find the folder, right-click, select properties, choose the permissions tab and ensure you (ie the user operating LR) has permission to write to that folder. There can be other issues in more complex arrangements, such as if you have...

    2023 PanAm Games -- Need Information Please

    I'm afraid I can't answer your questions Lynne. However, as a pointer, I seem to recall that when the Olympics were held in London (2012), there were very definite limitations on cameras, such that a 'professional' grade camera would have been tricky to take in as a member of the public. From...

    LR failing to import all images

    This might indicate a developing problem on the destination drive. Are your backups in good order? Still, on two different computers, bit unlikely. Maybe the card reader is failing?

    Lost Connection Suddenly

    Suggest you try using the search function for that error message. I get a thread from Mar 2018: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/assertion-failed-victim.34351/ which looks like the answer. HTHs

    OFF TOPIC - AI Generated code in Camera Club Competitions?

    Yes. The addition of these images/icons/graphics/etc. are not permitted by our club's rules because they are not the original photographer's work. However, this is the new reality and we (the traditional photography club) will die out (eventually) as we age and fail to attract younger members...
