    Travel with LR6 - which computer?

    I travel with a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (purchased June 2014). It has an i7-4500U @1.8Ghz (2.4Ghz) processor, 8GB, with the 256GB SSD. As a tablet its a bit heavy but as a laptop its awesome and light. Great keyboard. I still run a separate wireless mouse rather than use the touchpad. Currently I...

    I have already logged the problem - no feedback after 24hrs. Also no "votes" to say others have it. :-( PLEASE ALL OTHERS WHO HAVE THE HANGING AT STARTUP PROBLEM -Please "vote". Click on the Link at the top of this page to report a bug, I think you will have to log in to Adobe if not already...

    Lightroom 6 (Perpetual) Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    Thanks for the thought. I disconnected my ethernet cable (I'm hardwired into the router) and I got the Server Error dialog box - and have made several more attempts but no more dialog box. I also got that (dialog box) earlier today on one of my (many) other attempts to vary things. So its...

    Lightroom 6 (Perpetual) Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    LR6 Hangs at Startup Thanks for your advice Jim. I went to Adobe.com - signed out and back in. Then ran up LR6 and this time I got the splash screen and additionally (not previously) the left and right panels partially populated (not sure how populated but certainly got just a bit further in...

    Lightroom 6 (Perpetual) Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    LR6 hanging during startup Westernguy has an earlier post where (like me) LR6 worked fine on the day of install (just not on the next day).......that's how he has an LR6.lrcat. My post of my problem (exactly same symptoms as Westernguy's) has some more diagnostic info that may be useful.

    Lightroom 6 (Perpetual) Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    I have the same problem as Westernguy. Installed LR6 yesterday, started it (NB I have removed the comment that I started it multiple times on the day - not sure now)- did some develop and library work (no imports), exited it, catalogue optimised and backed up OK (I can see the Lrcat.zip file)...

    LR - resource leakage (memory?) bug

    Just let the forum know that I have posted into "official Bug Report" about a performance issue when I keyword photos. It happens after keywording about 100 photos (perhaps 5 - 10 keywords each from quite a complex and heavily nested keyword disctionary here is the link: >...

    Lightroom In Slowdown mode

    Just to clarify I am not copying files. The files I am keywording have already been imported generally in a previous session. I am then keywording those files. There is no writing out of XMP or writing to the file. The slowdown happens during the keywording. There is no writing out of XMP or...

    LR won't import AVCHD/.mts videos

    This sometimes works for me in what i think are similar situations. Just try on one video first. Go to Metadata>Edit Capture time - hopefully you will see a date/time in there. And (more) hopefully, if its the right date, then just execute the command. Does this fix the problem? If this...

    Lightroom In Slowdown mode

    I have had this problem for a while - coincedently I posted something a couple of days ago. http://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/showthread.php?23026-Performance-Problems-while-keywording I am not writing to XMP and I don't think any of the images are having keywords written out them. Only...

    Year-Month-Shoot Date...or Year-Shoot Date

    Just looking at the above preferences of others - a common theme is emerging - use dates for the folders and use keywords for everthing else. You can use any suffix you want, if you find that helpful, as long as the first bit is YYYY/MM or YYYY/YYYYMM. And Cletus is right you can go back and...

    Performance Problems while keywording

    Hi Jim. Thanks for your thoughts. I can certainly recreate the problem at will - it happens every time I keyword a largish number (100+) of photos in one go. So I'll lodge a bug report.

    Performance Problems while keywording

    Trolling through the forum I have found some other post that are probably related. (Not the mobile performance issues). What they have in common is a slow degradation during a session - these are classic symptons of a resource contraint of some sort that is caused by either a resource not...

    Year-Month-Shoot Date...or Year-Shoot Date

    LightRoom is like Life - it's only when you are half way through that wish you knew (when you started) what you know now. (And in both cases you can't go back and start again:mrgreen:). From what you have said 60 shoot folders a year might be a bit much to have sitting below a year folder. I...

    Is anyone seeing performance issues with LR 5.2?

    I just put up a post which I suspect is the same thing. Reading this thread leads me to conclude that there won't be any answers.:sad: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/showthread.php?23026-Performance-Problems-while-keywording&highlight=keyword+performance

    Performance Problems while keywording

    I think another post: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/showthread.php?20889-Is-anyone-seeing-performance-issues-with-LR-5-2&highlight=keyword+performance is probably the same issue. I also experienced a significant degradation over a short period but it was on Vista and LR4 (upgrades to...

    Performance Problems while keywording

    Hi, I have a major performance problem in LR5 / windows 7 and 8.1 (and before that LR4 and Vista) when applying keywords. What happens is that I happily start adding keywords to photos and over time things get progressively slower; after about 50-100 photos have had keywords applied things...

    G key

    If already in the library module, you can hit "esc" once to remove focus, and then "esc" once more (or the G key) to get your grid view. In the Develop module, hiting G pretty well always takes me to the Library grid view.

    Scanning Action CS6

    Hi Johnnyboy - 30,000 slides now that's impressive - would you mind sharing a couple of things: your workflow and your approach to adjustments in particualr to older slides with a colour cast and faded colours I'm scanning in 20,000 slides with a Nikon Coolscan 5000 using the Vuescan RAW (dng)...

    Scanning colour slides - fixing faded colours.

    Bruce, Many thanks for your reply - it's pretty easy to follow so I should be able to get somewhere (hopefully some others will also find it useful). I have a set of tutorials for photoshop - I will probably get stuck into those first so I'm not flying blind. Again, thank you, much...

    Scanning colour slides - fixing faded colours.

    Hi, thanks for the info Bruce. After your post I have done a bit of research and it seems like Digital ROC is the way to go (it was in fact the product that came with the Nikon software but the workflow with the nikon software is no where near as good as the Vuescan workflow so I am really...

    Scanning colour slides - fixing faded colours.

    Thanks for your comments. There is no trouble with importing Vuescan DNG scans into LR . And there are no issues using the full range of LR tools on the Vuescan DNG output - as one would expect (from DNG). My question was about tools or techniques to restore faded colours in scanned slides...

    Scanning colour slides - fixing faded colours.

    Hi, I have embarked on a project to scan in my colour slides using a Nikon Coolscan 5000ED with Vuescan scanning software. Some slides are over 40 years old and either faded or more likely the colours have changed significantly. My workflow is to do a batch scan into DNG with Vuescan with no...

    Capture Time Issues (Scans) - not the usual issues

    I have a number of issues with Capture Time (or times generally) but will only raise them once I can clearly describe them clearly (he says hopefully). I will fore warn you that one confounding factor that I have noticed is that when LR4 imports photos sometimes it uses Greenwich mean time...
