    LR13 problems

    I installed LR13 yesterday. It works but I find it is slower than the previous version, especially at exporting photos. The most annoying change is that every time I want to close the programme, it makes me wait about 10 minutes while it writes Metadata changes into XMP. Previously it seemed...

    Identity plate fonts

    I like to create a personalised font and colour for the Module title buttons at the top right in LRC. With the introduction of Version 10, although italics are offered, if I select either type of italic, the font simply reverts to Lightroom's default font without italics. has anybody else...

    Import crashes when synchronising

    If I ask LR to synchronise a folder, I have it set to show the import dialogue before importing any fresh pictures, so I can check what is being imported. When (eventually) the Import dialogue comes up, it will then crash nine times out of ten. This has been going on for a couple of years now...

    Grid in Develop module

    When using the transform tools in the Develop module, a grid of thin black lines is shown when you hover over any of the sliders. These are frequently very difficult to see. If you go into Tools you can select the option to show Always, Auto or Never. If you select Always, you get a nice...

    Auto Tone being applied to my imports.

    Starting today, I find that Auto Tone is being applied to all the photos I import. I have nothing set to tell LR to do this. I had just downloaded the new update and I wonder if this update is responsible. As there are no boxes ticked, I don't know how to turn it off!

    Flickr photostream lost on upgrade.

    Last week my C drive failed and I have had to reinstall numerous programmes from scratch. As I was having difficulty reinstalling Photoshop CS6, I decided to take the plunge and sign onto Adobe's Cloud. As I went to upload a picture to Flickr I found that it had no record of my previous...

    Publish Services: Export to a Facebook Group

    After months of struggling, I have eventually managed to get Lightroom to link up with Facebook and actually export images to it. For ages all I got was an error message. My local photo club has a Facebook group where we can discuss things and post pictures. In the past I would import to that...

    Applying Lens Presets to Imports

    I guess this is the right section of the forum to post this problem. Ever since the new import dialogue was imposed on us, my lens presets do not work fully when applied to imports. Specifically, even though I have ticked "Remove Chromatic Aberration" in my presets, this is not applied to my...

    LR6 Possible bugs

    I have come across two rather annoying things in LR6. 1. In the develop module, when hitting the \ key to see the before view, the picture blanks out, an earlier picture flashes up and then I get the before view of the picture I am working on. I wonder if this is the bug Rikki Flohr referred...

    Erasing Graduated Filter

    In the October issue of Photoplus (Canon) magazine it was stated that in version 5, Adobe had added an erase feature to the Graduated Filter tool. Is that correct and if so, where do I access it? I don't see it anywhere in my version 5.6. JW

    Keywords not importing

    I posted this in the Developing forum but got no replies. Can anyone offer any suggestions? For many years, I have edited photos in Lightroom and then exported as Tiffs to Photoshop for finishing off. I save the edited photos as Jpegs and then import those Jpegs into my Lightroom catalogue...

    Keywords not importing

    For many years, I have edited photos in Lightroom and then exported as Tiffs to Photoshop for finishing off. I save the edited photos as Jpegs and then import those Jpegs into my Lightroom catalogue. Until I installed LR5.4 I never had a problem, the keywords would come back into LR with the...

    Badges

    Once upon a time, a long time ago, I found a link that told me the meaning of all the different "badges" people have. I cannot find it any longer. It would be helpful to have a page somewhere that (a) can be found and (b) explains, for example, that LG is a Lightroom Guru, M is a Moderator, A is...

    LR5 Beta

    Victoria, Thanks for your new post on LR5 Beta. I had not noticed its release. The list of new or improved tools is pretty encouraging even if the shortcuts will take some learning. On your own website http://www.lightroomqueen.com/2013/04/15/whats-new-in-lightroom-5-0-beta/ there is a...

    Choosing source destination folders for imports

    Scenario I have three hard discs on my PC. One is the system disc - drive C. Actually that is partitioned and there is also a drive E on that disc which is currently scratch disc space only. The second is drive D on which I have only my LR catalogue and backups. The third is drive P (for...

    LR 4.3 strange behaviour

    I have been running LR4.3 (on Windows7) for some weeks without any problem until the last few days. Now the tools are behaving with a mind of their own. For example: Graduated filter. I can be dragging it down when it suddenly stops and a new one overlays it. Brushes seem to be pretty OK...

    Photoshop CS5 problem

    This is not a Lightroom question but the gurus on this forum are so helpful, I thought I'd post it here as I have had no results posting on Photohop forums. My problem is this: I purchased CS5 about six months ago in response to the threat that one would not be able to upgrade from CS3 to CS6...

    LR crashes when I try to import photos

    This is a totally new issue that I have not suffered from before. I am using LR4 RC2. Up to now, I have had no problems with it and I have been slightly amused by complaints of its slowness as I have found it performs pretty well. Until now. I am quite unable to import photos. I imported a...

    What have I done now? Please advise me.

    Sorry, this is not really LR related. I seem to have done something even more stupid than usual. I am now on my new computer. I had a bit of difficulty setting up my Outlook account and ended up with two email accounts showing, one called Personal Folders and the other I named My Outlook...

    Transferring catalogue to new computer

    It is never easy to set up a new computer. I am having a few problems along the way. One of those is that I cannot transfer my LR catalogues. I have been moving everything on to an external hard drive and then downloading to the new computer. I cannot transfer the LR catalogues to the...

    LR wants to republish pictures to Flickr. How do I stop it?

    I had updated a few pictures that I wanted to republish on Flickr. I suppose I have two separate issues. 1. They appear in Flickr as completely new pictures without the previous captions and any comments that might have been made. How can I simply update the existing picture? 2. And this...

    My new PC

    After a lot of research, I have eventually decided on the spec for my new PC and have ordered it from PC Specialist. The spec is below. I thought hard about downgrading the CPU so as to be able to afford a SSD but I am not convinced that a relatively small SSD drive for OS and all programmes...
