I have been holding back from taking up the Photography Plan but two weeks ago I signed up for it after buying a new MacBook Pro.. I have started with LR Classic since I used LR6 for several years. Have done little image processing to date so am surprised to find that I have already reached the...
Am planning to buy a new iMac, (21.5 inch) to replace my 27 inch). Have had the existing one 9 years and the HD is ‘cluttered’ and the LR catalogue is ‘messy’. I don’t want to use ‘Migration Assistant’ and plan to be selective and transfer things manually.
Question: how do I get the LR...
I processed a batch of images in LR 6.14 then exported as TIFFS to a desktop folder. From there I resized down in Photoshop and 'saved as' jpegs, in another desktop folder. The TIFFS are around 6000px long side and they were sized to around 4000px long side. What is the best way to resize...
From a shoot today I did a mixture of RAW and RAW+jpeg. (FineL). After importing from the SD card, where I can see the mixture of shots in camera, including the pegs, I find that only the RAWs have appeared in the catalogue. Guess I must have the wrong import settings. Any thoughts?
I have downloaded the trial version of Iridient X Transformer into the Applications folder on my iMac OS 10.13.6 but the application is greyed out in the LR 6.9 Plug-in Manager. Is the IXT not compatible?
Am using LR 6.9 and in the Library module trying to delete some of the IPTC data and stop it reappearing in future images, after importing. Where/how is this done please? Ray
Operating System: Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan
Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): 6.9
After importing 150 Raw images I see that I must have used a preset for including IPTC information under 'Headline' and 'Description Writer' which I don't want. If I delete these details from one...

Question or Description of Problem: After importing images from memory cards I find that, in the Library module, old IPTC data appears in every image. The data...
Haven't much experience of using a preset at the import stage but tried it today and I can't see the effect after import. The sliders are still at zero in the Develop module. Is that normal? Perhaps someone can point me to a tutorial on this.
Having recently bought a Fujifilm X-T20 camera and just seen an article about sharpening I wonder if changes in sharpening settings are needed for Raw files? I note the article is dated 2014 and mentions version 5 of LR so perhaps is no longer applicable. See:
SHARPENING X-TRANS FILES IN...
When backing up, I get this pop up: "Your catalog size is larger than 4GB. Please use a 3rd party utility ....... to extract your catalog backup."
What action should I take please?
Using LR 6 v6.8 on iMac os 10.11.6
Somehow old metadata from a previous import is being applied on all my imported images. The "Apply During Import" is set to 'basic data'. Any idea how the old data is being transferred?
I have been using the Sony RX100 compact for several years and importing the files into Lightroom. I updated to LR6.6 and now the files are not recognised. A typical file number is DSC3429.ARW so I updated LR to 6.8 but still can't import them. Will appreciate help on this.
I export photos in batches from Lightroom 6.6 to a folder on my iMac desktop and want to include the same IPTC information in each photo. One category is 'Headline' and the other is 'Description'. I have tried selecting all the ones I want to export then input the info in the IPTC panel, bottom...
Have developed a batch of 40 images which I would like a friend to view and select which ones are preferred. Wondering if I should export and send via email or put them on a web page straight from Lightroom for viewing? If the latter then would that be done via the Web module in LR?
On seeing that LR mobile iOS 2.4 has recently arrived I went to the app store for it. I appear to have clicked on a free Adobe trial with 30 days left using iCloud. Have I started up in the wrong way? I just want to know the cost of the app and download it onto my iPad without a subscription.
I am thinking mainly of Noise Reduction which I assume takes quite a time to complete after moving the slider to around 20. I don't see any 'spinning ball' or bar going across to indicate the progress. Is it guesswork?
Can anyone point me to a link which gives brief definitions of Clarity, Vibrance and Luminance?
I can see their practical effect in LR v 6.5 and have no problem in using their sliders or precepts but I will be participating in a seminar soon which may include technical questions.
After importing new images I find that old IPTC information remains in each image. Is there a way of deleting it per batch rather than having to delete it on every individual new image?

Using LR 6.1.1 on my iMac with OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 the scrolling on my trackpad and 'Magic' mouse has become 'jerky'. This happens when in the Develop module trying to remove dust spots with the Healing brush. There is a time lag between 'jumps'. This doesn't happen when scrolling in...
Having just upgraded my iMac OS to 10.11.1 wondering what version of LR I should be on? Currently it's 6 so can/should I go to v6.1.1 and leave 6.2 for later?
Recently upgraded to LR6 and find the Graduated Filter in the Development module is 'Rose' colour which makes it impossible to see the effect of adjusting the Exposure slider. Is there a setting which I have missed?
is it possible to put text on an image in the print module (or any other module) in LR? I see the file name can be changed at the bottom of the image but I would like to put text directly on some images prior to printing.
LR opens to full extent of my monitor. i.e. filling it. I can't grab the corners to move them inwards. How is the size reduced please. I can't see any menu at the top to change preferences. Ray
