    Lost Connection Suddenly

    Hi I copied 10,000 pics from an old PC to an external drive in order to connect with lightroom on my new(ish) PC. This was ok except that in Lightroom on my new PC it wouldn't open the files to "edit in photoshop" - apparently becuase the external drive wasn't set to NFST. So I converted the...

    New Import from External Drive

    Hi - I have copied 10,000 or so pics from my old PC to an external drive. The idea is that I can edit them on my new PC. I wanted to check - how do I import the pics into Lightroom so I can edit them whilst keeping them on the same external drive (rather than storing the original images twice...

    Reconnecting

    Hi - I have just restarted an old pc to find some old photos. In Light room some of the photos are displayed in the filmstrip but state cannot find folder.

    Slooooooow Lightroom

    Hi I have the latest none cloud version of lightroom with a brand new pc that cost an arm and a leg. All was going well (in terms of good performance) until this week when everything has slowed right down. There is loads of disc space on my pc, the catalogue has been newly optimized and nothing...

    Help!!!

    Hi I have done something seemingly very stupid! I have just pressed the re-start button in lightroom (due to a brush tool suddenly stopping working and some advice to do this on an internet search as a way of resolving) and hadn't realised that Lightroom was going to restart completely. It has...

    Lightroom 2 Tone Curve

    Bit of a long shot if anyone can help but..... I am having to temporarily use Lightroom 2 and I can't fix the points on the tone curve in order to be able to drag them where I want! Is it not possible in Lightroom 2 or is it just that a setting needs changing. Lightroom 4 it's not a problem!
