    LR Tethering for Sony Cameras - Added Soon?

    Capture 1 Pro says that it supports tethering for Sony cameras. I have the software (V10) and it doesn't appear to work. I have a support request in but no response yet. I like the features of Capture 1 Pro better than LR (and there is a Sony-only version for $50 which is a real bargain), but...

    LR Tethering for Sony Cameras - Added Soon?

    I know about the monitored folder approach. That is not what I want - I want to be able to "live view" the image on my MacBook Pro 15 Retina display - and adjust from there. I have the Sony app for adjusting the camera settings - but I want to see the image before taking the shot.

    LR Tethering for Sony Cameras - Added Soon?

    LR currently doesn't support tethering for Sony cameras. I wonder if anyone knows if this support may be added in the next release or update. Sony has some very nice cameras now (I love my A7RII) and I expect there are an increasing number of LR users with Sony cameras who could use this...

    LR5.6 and iMac 27 Retina

    One comment about transferring your MBP files over to the new iMac 27 Retina. You can certainly use the data migration process from your Time Machine backup, but it is going to be pretty slow. (This worked for me when my wife's old iMac died, but I had an up-to-date Time Machine backup. I...

    Can LR 6 Benefit from 32 GB of Memory?

    The memory I installed is from Crucial and is designed for the iMac 27 Retina. The specs for the new memory matches the existing memory exactly - in fact, the memory chip manufacturer for both the original and new memory is Micron. I am quite sure there is nothing wrong with the new memory (it...

    Can LR 6 Benefit from 32 GB of Memory?

    LR6 does take advantage of the extra memory. I added the new memory and now have 32GB of RAM in my iMac. I had some batches of JPGs to import. During the import process - and the generation of previews - LR uses more and more memory. Interestingly, once the import is done, it doesn't release...

    Can LR 6 Benefit from 32 GB of Memory?

    I have checked Activity Monitor, and the highest memory usage for LR 6 that I have seen (so far) was a little less than 4 GB. Maybe it would use more when importing a large volume of new photos and building previews - as I know that is multi-threaded now. I did decide to buy more memory...

    Can LR 6 Benefit from 32 GB of Memory?

    I have a (late 2014) iMac 27 Retina with 16 GB of RAM. I can upgrade to 32 GB for about $100 and I am considering this because of another software product I am using. Can LR 6 on OS X actually benefit from the increased memory? The system requirements only say 8 GB of RAM is recommended - and...

    Raw files imported into Lightroom coming out distorted and super saturated, HELP!

    Use Library Filter to Select Photos Not In A Collection

    I'll do some more experimenting, but I can't seem to get this to work. I know this is not the Workflow forum, but I wonder if anyone can comment on my specific workflow. When I import a new batch of photos, I do not assign any keywords. Once the images have been imported, I then define and...

    Raw files imported into Lightroom coming out distorted and super saturated, HELP!

    FRV does do a conversion and is not just showing the embedded jpg. The OP noted that the original preview image was OK, and I assume that was the embedded jpg that was showing up. It was the import/conversion that was failing. The comment about the possible hardware issues was interesting...

    Raw files imported into Lightroom coming out distorted and super saturated, HELP!

    I am current running LR6 (on OS X 10.10.3) and have not had any problems with the import process (I had no problems with V5 either) so it is hard to tell you what settings need to be changed. My suggestion would be to go into preferences and reset everything to defaults in case something has...

    Raw files imported into Lightroom coming out distorted and super saturated, HELP!

    I would try opening the files in the Canon Raw viewer program (that they give you with the cameras), or get a (free) evaluation copy of Fast Raw Viewer (http://www.fastrawviewer.com) and see if they can open the cr2 files. If they show the same distortions, then the raw files may be corrupted...

    Use Library Filter to Select Photos Not In A Collection

    My situation is that I have a "Previous Import" with 368 photos. I am going through those photos assigning them to a collection (actually I have a collection set and then specific collections inside that set - this is a set of cruise photos and I want to assign them to collections for specific...

    Use Library Filter to Select Photos Not In A Collection

    I need to identify imported photos that have not been assigned to a collection. I thought I could use the library filter to find these photos, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can I use the Library filter to find these "uncollected" photos? If so, how? David

    Can't seem to move photos in LR cc

    I am having a similar issue with LR 6 (and OS X 10.10.3). I have a collection set defined, and a number of collections defined inside the set. These collections already have photos assigned. I imported another set of photos, and I want to assign groups of photos to the existing collections...

    Change Location of Catalog Backup

    I have LR6 and the Catalog Backup is set to occur every time I exit LR. It puts the backups in my Pictures folder on the same (internal) drive as the active catalog. If the drive crashes, I would loose both the original and the backup. I am running on an iMac 27 Retina and I have Time Machine...

    LR Preview Cache Preview Size

    Thanks. I will start the rebuild process. Interestingly, I downloaded the Adobe PDF documentation, and searched for this. There was a discussion of doing this for the "Mobile" version, but nothing I could find about the full product. David

    LR Preview Cache Preview Size

    I just installed LR 6 on my iMac 27 Retina. It converted an existing LR5 library. When I checked Catalog Settings, the Standard Preview Size was set to 1024 pixels. I changed that to Auto (5210px on my system). Will LR rebuild the previews to the new setting for the existing library? I have...

    LR And EXIF Data

    I actually have the EXIFInfo software installed now. I installed Friedl's viewer and that does make viewing all the EXIF information more convenient. I'll wait and see what his policy is about LR6 when it arrives next month before registering it. (I have his flickr plug-in and it works very...

    LR And EXIF Data

    Cameras seem to output a lot of EXIF data that the LR Library module doesn't show. I have found this for my Sony A6000 (things like DRO) and my Casio EX ZR-1500 (things like ART-HDR mode which I am experimenting with). I am currently using EXIFTool to see everything. But I wonder if there is...

    Adding Extra Text Descriptions to Photo for Flickr Export

    I have a number of photos from an European vacation that I want to export to Flickr. I'd like to add some (short) text descriptions to each photo (including things like location, or what is in the photo). For example, we took a walking tour of Lisbon - and it was pouring rain! I have a photo...

    LR5.6 and iMac 27 Retina

    For anyone who is considering a system like this, I discovered something interesting. The native resolution of the display is 5120 x 2880 but the default ("best" display setting according to Apple) is 2560 x 1440 (scaled). You don't have to stay with this resolution - you can also set the...

    Lens Profile For Sony A6000 with Zeiss 16-70 OSS Lens

    Thanks. That's what I suspected. Sony does a lot of that correction in camera for JPGs. Most of the people I talk to with experience with the A6000 like that, but a few don't. (Sony seems to be able to do things in camera that even the Sony external Raw editor can't). I think I will start...
