    Amazon Lightroom CC Deal

    I see that Amazon has a deal for a one-year subscription for Lightroom CC ($90/yr). Does anyone know if this deal can be purchased and applied to an existing monthly CC subscription? If so, any downsides/issues with doing this?

    Whoops, it's back ! I fiddled with the PRINT Module "Page Setup" and "Print Settings..." buttons (left screen bottom, and voila, the ID Plate reappeared.

    Identity Plate Missing In Print Module

    My Identity Plate just went missing in the Print Module. I had been printing and adding captions using the Identity Plate, when it just disappeared. I have exited from LR a couple of times, but the ID Plate does not come back in the Print Module. I can select it in the Print "Page" section...

    Workflow Thoughts? Your input greatly appreciated.

    You might want to consider options other that Picasa - see Google news release: Friday, February 12, 2016 10:00 AM Since the launch of Google Photos, we’ve had a lot of questions around what this means for the future of Picasa. After much thought and consideration, we’ve decided to retire...

    Backup Strategy

    Can anyone recommend sources of reference information on backup strategy? I currently backup my raw photos and LR catalog to an external drive. I would like to periodically swap this drive with a 2nd external drive and store it offsite, and rotate these drives monthly or so.

    Info for Prints

    Thanks Clee -- What I am looking for is suggestions on methods for labeling photos after they are printed and outside of LR. When they are in a photo album, I would like to have info written on the back of the photo (or a separate label) with names, dates, occasions, etc. and other pertinent...

    Info for Prints

    I am amassing a good number of prints for my family and personal use, and I am looking into any suggestions on attaching information about the photos (dates, places, people, occasions, etc) on the backside of the photos - sticky labels, permanent markers, etc. I would appreciate any...

    New verses Old Import

    Is there any consensus on the Old Import dialog vs the New Import dialog? I have been using the old import dialog, but am curious as to how the new import dialog is working out?

    Smart Previews

    Thanks Johan, you have hit the nail on the head! Your answer is exactly what I was looking for. Here's a look at what is inside the basic smart previews.lrdata file. It includes the smart previews I have done today and other recent ones: Thanks for all your help on...

    Smart Previews

    Yes, I believe they are being backed up, as I checked some photos from today and some from several years ago, and the Histogram does show the Original + Smart Previews. However, on my iMac the Smart Previews.lrdata is a file not a folder and there is no sub-folder involved. Clicking on this...

    Smart Previews

    Thanks Hal, My concern isn't so much in working with Smart Previews as such, but in backing them up to an external drive. I currently back up the previews.lrdata periodically and the most recent date they were modified or changed is what I back up. The smartpreviews.lrdata however, shows a...

    Smart Previews

    I did check the Smart Previews box on import (and the 3 operations viewer loading were on). I'm only curious as to why the Smart Previews file does not update to "Today". This may not be a big issue, so I'm just going to monitor it on future imports. Thanks!!!

    Smart Previews

    Thanks Johan, I guess that I am confused as to why the Previews.lrdata file shows that it has been updated (Today,9:49am) but the Smart Previews.lrdata shows a much older date even though they both were "built" today. I have not done any work with the Smart Previews, just only have imported...

    Smart Previews

    When I import new photos into L/R, it appears that both previews and smart previews are being built. However, when I check the folders, only the previews.lrdata has been updated ("Today, 9:49"). Am I missing something, or should the Smart Previews also show that they have been updated "Today"?

    Lightroom Catalog Previews Backup

    Thanks Hal & Johan.... my catalog continues to grow, so I will take your advice and back up these preview files/folders (I have a 4T external hard drive, so space won't be a problem).

    Lightroom Catalog Previews Backup

    I frequently back up my Lightroom catalog to an external hard drive. Is it necessary to also back up the previews.lrdata and smart previews.lrdata files also?

    Recommendations for Cataloging Printed Photos

    Thanks Dave -- Is there a way to include/attach the Metadata so that it could be stored along with the photos? My goal is to have a software database of printed photos that I could print to physical media from time to time (and also in the unlikely event that I don't have access to Lightroom)

    Recommendations for Cataloging Printed Photos

    I am starting to amass a good number of printed photos, and am now wondering how to best keep track of what I've printed. Would Lightroom Collections be a candidate for this or should I be looking outside of Lightroom?
