    Smart Preview Issue After Ugrade

    update: This seems to be the problem - a bug on Adobe's side: https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/lightroom-classic/lightroom-classic-some-smart-previews-were-not-built/5f9a16a749d3ca3d56ba9b8e?fbclid=IwAR2EnSkikddLKm9WiNBTuhNcA8eApRi6L5qnrhCoezXiPRftNZ5zwfSl1q8

    Smart Preview Issue After Ugrade

    So, I just did some testing, and I'm not sure that building smart previews from scratch is the answer. I created a brand new catalog on a different drive and in a different location.. Then I took some new photos and imported them, ensuring that "Build smart previews" was on during import. Upon...

    Smart Preview Issue After Ugrade

    update - I realized there is one answer on that thread from 2020, but the answer was before the last major update, which is when I started having this problem. It would take a very long time to rebuild 100K previews, so I'm hoping there's another solution. Thanks in advance.

    Smart Preview Issue After Ugrade

    Me again - I still haven't re-created the smart preview files, but have the same behavior. Upon import, I see files imported and then the progress bar shows smart previews being built. However, they are not there when I look under the histogram (where you would normally see original + smart...

    Smart Preview Issue After Ugrade

    Thanks - no, I have not. I have over 100,000 files. Re-creating smart previews would be an enormous task.

    Smart Preview Issue After Ugrade

    Since the latest upgrade, I'm having a challenge with Smart Previews. I have an import preset that has not changed at all since before the upgrade. Now when I import files, they import, and then also build smart previews (I can see this happening in the upper left hand corner progress bar...

    Need help with catalog and smart previews

    Hi again - New laptop is here and it's a HUGE improvement. I got Classic back the way I wanted, but now have some questions about your suggested approach. When you say Smart DNG, you mean "smart previews", correct? Just want to make sure we are using the same termonology. If I sync all smart...

    Need help with catalog and smart previews

    I am looking for a good solution to this scenario. I currently have a MacBookPro with 512GB SSD storage, which I have maxed out. I use an external 5TB hard drive with my photos (100,000+) - they currently consume about 4TB of that EHD. My catalog sits on the SSD inside of my laptop, while the...

    Removing Folders with Zero Files

    Thanks - that got me a lot of the way there. Still some stragglers to go.

    Removing Folders with Zero Files

    Somehow my LR became cluttered with lots of empty folders. Is there a faster way to remove all folders with 0 photos - other than right-clicking and deleting one at a time? Thanks in advance!

    Lost My Color Tagging

    Yes, but those words were in there for well over a year for yellow, and the colors just disappeared a few days ago. I'm thinking this is what did it.

    Lost My Color Tagging

    I think I know what happened. I've been having huge problems since upgrading to 8.0. An Adobe rep told me to try the following to troubleshoot, and I think this made my colors disappear. Thoughts? 1. Close Lightroom. 2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom. 3. Overwrite the...

    Lost My Color Tagging

    Thank you! I think I'm done with color labels forever now :)

    Lost My Color Tagging

    I did type that into the label field, but I did that ages ago. Not sure why the color was not associated with it as of just the past few days. That's the part I don't understand. Curious as to how I did it, but am thankful it was an easy fix.

    Lost My Color Tagging

    Aha! Yes, there are 1293, which seems correct. From here, I can create a keyword tag, or change the color, correct? Any idea how this happened (heading out for several hours in a bit...thanks in advance for the help)

    Lost My Color Tagging

    Ok - found a photo that should be labeled yellow, which means "photos I like and will do something with". That's what it says in the metadata panel, but the photo is not tagged as yellow.

    Lost My Color Tagging

    Thanks - it still says Lightroom Defaults, and having never noticed this label before, I don't think I touched it

    Lost My Color Tagging

    Thank you all - I can't find Tint Grid Cells or Color Label Set menu. Using Classic CC v. 8.0 Could you be more specific, please? I don't see that in Metadata menu when in Library mode.

    Lost My Color Tagging

    Oh, no! I've done something major by accident. I used color tags to keep track of what photos I've posted on social media. Two of these colors each had several hundred photos. I seem to have deleted all of the colored tags, but not the photos. I'm thinking I accidentally had all photos in a...

    Import incredibly slow in lightroom

    Thanks for the tips. I am on a mac, and do clean up regularly. I spent an hour on chat + remote support with Adobe. They basically ended up saying "we know there are problems with this release. Wait for an update or roll back"

    Import incredibly slow in lightroom

    I'm experiencing huge slowdowns since the LR Classic CC upgrade to 8.0 last week. I am on a MacBookPro, running High Sierra, with 16GB of RAM. Import is slow, and when LR is open, my whole computer slows down. I even get "calculating" when going into Develop mode - something I have never seen...

    Import iPhone Keeps Importing to LR Classic CC

    Yes, I am asking if they have been duplicated, and already exist(ed) in my catalog. Every single photo in my catalog has a keyword tag, so to find 900+ photos entered with no keyword tag, and most of these photos are quite old....I'm trying to determine if they have been duplicated.

    Import iPhone Keeps Importing to LR Classic CC

    Aha! Yes, that was on. I have no turned it off. Thank you! I don't remember turning it on, and the import just started happening recently, so I'm not sure how this happened. Next question: is there any easy way to know if all of these 900+ photos are already in my catalog? I'd love to do a mass...
