    Catalogs Storing RAW photos on a large/not connected drive -experiences and suggestions?

    I understand that it's possible to store RAW photos in LR "off-line" (i.e. to a drive which isn't permanently available) while still being able to view, edit (and export?) a high resolution JPG preview copy. It's been a while since I looked into this and back then I never seriously used it, so...

    Removing personal metadata when exporting?

    Is there a way to remove personal metadata (name etc.) when exporting photos? I often find myself uploading stuff to web forums etc. and would like my name among other things removed from those photos, but LR 6.14 doesn't appear to have an option for this, or I haven't found it it. These are...

    Can't export cropped PNG screenshot images

    I've imported some screenshots from an iPad which are all PNG files. I've then made virtual copies of them which have further been cropped, and now I want to export those cropped screenshots (for uploading to online forums), and where the trouble starts.... First I see no PNG option, and since...

    Custom sizes when printing to PDF?

    I'd like to "print" multiple images to a PDF file with the same quality and dimensions they're at originally. They're all the same resolution and dimensions (1024x768, 72 DPI) and PNG files so I'd like to keep that for the final PDF as well, but as far as I can see there are only a few standard...

    Library module Folder name to keywords -a plugin for this?

    Is there a plugin (or a way to do it within LR itself) which takes the name of the folder and adds it to all the photos which reside inside that folder? I actually did this with thousands of photos several years back (doing a rough organizing in Adobe Bridge with folder names used as brief...

    Library module Keyword gets automatically changed -how to prevent?

    For some reason, when entering a certain keyword it gets expanded to something else. The keyword I've written stays but it followed by a "less than" (<) character and a keyword description I've obviously used for some other photos in the past. Why is this happening, and what can I do to...

    Catalogs How to reset "Select a recent catalog to open"?

    When you start LR while holding down ALT (on a Mac, I don't know if it's the same on a PC) a window pops up where you can select different catalogs, and the recent ones are listed. This usually works fine, but as I've changed hard drives and my file structure the paths are all wrong (pointing to...

    Anyone using Affinity Photo (instead of Photoshop) with LR?

    Is anyone reading using Affinity Photo (instead of Photoshop) for more complex editing from within Lightroom? What are your experiences? How do you find it compares to Photoshop, and is there anything you're missing? Does it integrate well with LR? I've searched the forum but could only find...

    Mac Pro 5,1 upgrades to make LR6 faster?

    What can I do to speed up Lightroom 6 on a Mac Pro? I find it sluggish and there must be something I can do about it. By sluggish I mean for instance that it might take 1-2 seconds to make a preview when using the arrow keys in Library mode to view the next image. After that it's quicker, but I...

    Which OSX version (10.10-10.14) best for LR 6?

    Which Mac OSX version from 10.10 (Yosemite) up to 10.14 (Mojave) works best with LR 6? I'm quite happy with OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) but due to some added hardware I need to upgrade to 10.10 or higher. I also need to consider which OSX version will still let me run Photoshop CS4, but that's another...

    Olympus TG-4/5/6 RAW support

    I have an Olympus TG-4 and shoot RAW which my LR 6.7 (MacOSX 10.9.5) supports and considering upgrading to a TG-5 or TG-6. However, are the RAW files of both cameras supported in my LR version? I ask because the two cameras are so similar that I'm wondering if the RAW files are identical, and...

    Can't show video in full-screen (LR 6.7)

    For some reason I can't show videos in fullscreen mode (LR 6.7 on MacOSX 10.9.5 Mavericks). Playback by double-clicking on the video file (Library module) works fine, but if I press "F" (Full screen) I only see a still photo from the video (perhaps the poster frame). A bug, or am I doing it...

    Downloading LR installers for keeps/system requirements

    So Adobe decided to stop developing the perpetual version... I can't say I'm surprised, though disappointed. Oh well, life goes on ;) Things happen fast on the 'net so for important updates, installers etc. I try to download and keep them in case I ever need to reinstall things from scratch for...

    Removing top items of external editing apps

    I know how to remove/change the list of external editing apps in LR, but when right-clicking on a photo, then selecting "Edit in" up pops a list of all those apps including two apps at the very top separated from the rest by a horizontal line. For some reason one of those apps has gotten messed...

    Transferring LR Collections to another computer

    I'd like to transfer the same Collections, Collection sets and Smart Collections from my desktop computer to my laptop (both are Macs running LR 6.7 perpetual) but I'm having trouble figuring out where those presets are located. I've looked in the usual ~/Library/Application...

    Backing up catalogs on a Mac

    Is there a way to script the backup feature of LR? I ask because I have multiple hard drives in my Mac Pro and in addition to Time Machine taking hourly backups I have a separate backup drive which is run by Chronosync. That drive is unmounted as long as new files are backed up, and re-mounted...

    Wrong path every time when importing

    Something strange has started to happen whenever I import new photos. I use the "Organize into one folder" and "Into subfolder:" options and now the subfolder shows up alongside the root folder in my library, not where I told it to go. I can easily fix this by right-clicking on the subfolder...

    Signing out without losing license (LR6 perpetual)

    I recently had to reinstall everything on my laptop which also included re-installing LR (I'm using the perpetual version on the Mac platform running OSX 10.9.5). I have a desktop Mac as well, where LR 6.7 is already installed and running fine. However, after installing LR6 on the Macbook Pro...

    "Shift capture time" changes metadata or LR catalog data?

    Now and then I need to shift the dates of some photos because I forget to change a camera's date/time (i.e. daylight savings). I know about the "Shift capture time" feature in LR which comes in handy, but does it only change the date/time internally (i.e. within the LR catalog), or does it...

    Metadata problems and what to do with them

    I'm cleaning up and trying to keep my LR catalog in order, and I see that there are files with various errors which I'm not sure what the cause is and what to do about it: Metadata status: "Conflict detected" I have 20 video files (.MOV) with this status. They're all recent files done with an...

    Synchronize -missing photos won't sync

    I'm trying to do "Synchronize folder" which tells me there are missing photos, but when I try to actually perform the sync (without "show import dialog before importing" enabled) I'm told that nothing is imported after all. If I try the same with "show import dialog before importing" enabled...

    showing only labelled and associated photos

    Is there a way to make LR show only the colour-labelled photos along with any copies or virtual copies (i.e. similar filenames like "IMG_2048.CR2", "IMG_2048.JPG" along with any virtual copies or externally edited (Photoshop etc.) TIFF or similar files. I'm in the process of cleaning up things...

    Relinking and moving photos from "New Folder With Items"

    For some reason several of my photos have been moved to a folder named "New Folder With Items". I have no idea how or why, but I'd like to move them back where they belong. My file structure is based on year, month and event like this: 2015 2015-01 2015-02 2015-03 Travel_Paris vacation...

    Saving metadata vs. external EXIF edits in file

    I'm in the midst of adding EXIF timestamps (using an external EXIFtool-based script) to hundreds of scanned images which don't have any EXIF/IPTC metadata timestamps. Due to a bug in the Mac version of LR discussed numerous times here (the OSX file Creation date is updated whenever metadata...

    Making sense of EXIF date tags

    Can someone point me to information on how the EXIF date tags are used by LR? In particular I want to know how "Date Time Digitized" is used, why/if it's needed and why LR removes it from the file whenever metadata is saved in LR? I understand "Date Time Original" and "Date Time" are both added...
