    Sync Cannot get rid of all Sync activity in Lightroom Classic

    @Califdan - OK, that worked. Thank you. Now I'm starting to re-sync needed Collections, but less-than-impressed by the speed. What is the biggest bottleneck here? As mentioned, I'm on Gigabit Ethernet so overall bandwidth is not the issue. Is this a case of Adobe's servers being too slow to...

    Sync Cannot get rid of all Sync activity in Lightroom Classic

    Hi, (Running Lightroom Classic 14. 3 on macOS 15.4.1 on a M4 Max MacBook Pro with 4+ TB free space, 64GB RAM, and Gigibit Up/Down internet.) I had major problems with LR taking forever to sync, so I followed all instructions here to remove all images from the "All Synced Photographs" folder. I...

    Develop module Need Advice on Workflow while traveling

    > I want to work out of ONE catalog. It's the catalog I use when I'm home and travelling. I tried "Export as Catalog w/Negatives", then immediately turned around try to Import that Catalog back into Lightroom. It wouldn't let me import because it said No new Photos Found. I changed the Label...

    Develop module Need Advice on Workflow while traveling

    Internal drive on MacBookPro is 4TB, but much of that is needed for the shooting I'm doing while traveling, along with other work/life related files. However I do have space available for the selected RAW images I described in my scenario. (BTW, MacBookPro's have not had upgradable internal...

    Develop module Need Advice on Workflow while traveling

    I'm a professional photographer with 200,000+ images in Lightroom Classic, which I run on a MacBookPro. When at home, my masters (7TB) are on an external RAID, which is backed up to a NAS, and also to an online backup app (Backblaze) which I can access remotely. I have SmartPreviews of all my...

    Library module 13.3 Slowdown - Thumbnails & Previews

    I can wait to generate Smart Previews until later. But I still have original problem that I wrote in my post: viewing and scrolling in Grid view is very slow. Most images show up as grey rectangles and then slowly appear one by one. I've got hundreds of thousands of images. I need to be able to...

    Library module 13.3 Slowdown - Thumbnails & Previews

    I use Smart Previews (or "Smart Proxies" as someone rightly suggested they should be named) because I keep my masters on an external drive, but want to be able to work on my Catalog even when I'm away from my desk. Yes, trying to rebuild ALL of my Previews. I had to get rid of the previous...

    Library module 13.3 Slowdown - Thumbnails & Previews

    No syncing (I had written " Not currently synching to LR Mobile/Cloud" in my intro) Had unchecked "Automatically Write changes to XMP" just before reading your post. That seems to help a little bit. But my question still remains about which Preview is best for the Thumbnails? (Interestingly...

    Library module 13.3 Slowdown - Thumbnails & Previews

    I'm running LR Classic 13.3 on a 2021 MacBookPro w/M1Max, 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD. Library is about 200k images stored on a very fast Thunderbolt 3 SSD RAID 0. Not currently synching to LR Mobile/Cloud. Under 13.2, everything was working fine - stable and fast. In Grid mode, thumbnails displayed...

    Thumbnails for photos stored in Dropbox Online Only Files not showing up in Lightroom Classic

    This is a timely thread for me as I have been wondering about using Dropbox's Online-only setting for my images as well. I do not have the OP's problem of only seeing thumbnails in Lightroom, nor am I trying to use Lightroom on more than one computer. I'm using LR 11.5 on macOS 12.6 and...

    Export to Messages.app?

    Does anyone have a good workflow suggestion to export a jpeg to the Messages.app on macOS? Even better would be able to access the Mac's Share feature and be able to send the jpeg to other apps which can be accessed via Share. I dont see any way to do this using an Export Preset. Thank you.

    File Management advice needed

    My apologies for not mentioning this earlier. There are extra files in many of the dated folders. They aren't really organized at all... No, I've been using this dated folder structure for more than a decade (hence the "extras"). The images that are not in Lightroom ARE in many of the same...

    File Management advice needed

    Hi Johan, Do you mean by just dragging them in to a new sub-folder? If yes, then one problem with this is that my PHOTO_MASTERS is organized by Year/Month (ie: 2021/01, 2021/02, etc), so if I drag everything to a new folder I will loose my hiercachy.

    File Management advice needed

    Hi, I'm finally getting around to moving my old Aperture library (~150,000 images) into Lightroom Classic and need a bit of advice regarding file management. Here is my scenario: - All of my images (from my current LR catalog and my Aperture library) were in a PHOTO_MASTERS folder - Over 15...

    Need advice for professional workflow using LR-Classic with LR-CC for iOS+iPad

    I'm a professional photographer using LR-Classic. I need the flexibility of the desktop based solution rather than LR-CC as I can customize for my specific needs (ability to rename files on import, storage on fast local RAID, advanced developing and printing, etc.). However I would love to be...

    Catalogs Cloud Catalogue Backup/Sync

    (My question is different from the OP as I am only using LR on a single computer, but as this thread is current, I thought best not to start a new one.) I currently keep all my LR files (Catalog, Previews, Masters, etc) on my local drive. However I am on the road for an extended period of time...
