    Does a dedicated GPU really make a difference?

    Can't speak for a laptop, but the response on my desktop PC for masking did improve from "watching the twirling worm" to "acceptable" when I upgraded from a dedicated GTX1650 to an RTX3060 (thank goodness!).

    Larger collections slower than smaller ones?

    vbnut, you've described my process exactly! (my main catalogue has about 60k photos and takes about 4 minutes to backup with integrity test and optimise, life is getting too short to wait each time for the exit process).

    Metadata labels, titles and captions for fauna and flora, etc

    Hi Stuart - congratulations on becoming a Citizen Scientist by signing up to iNaturalist, it's such a worthwhile place (and purpose) for your photos! (I should have added that eventually I'll maybe keyword family, genus and possibly species, so that caption can be freed up for their more...

    Metadata labels, titles and captions for fauna and flora, etc

    My naming process has different constraints! After researching the plant, I upload the photos as observations into iNaturalist which uses the Title as the identifier (Genus species subspecies), and the GPS reading for location. I then have to wait for someone to confirm/contradict my...

    Traveling with iPad Pro - backup raw photos on external SSD drive

    You may need to use the Move command which then gives you the option to Copy (horribly non-intuitive, I know!). Anyway I was able to back up onto both iPad and external SSD , using the USB3 connection, with no problems (yes I’m paranoid …. until I lost both the card reader and cable in the...

    Lightroom Classic (LrC) "Back Up Catalogue" not working after December 2022 Update (12.0.1 to 12.1)

    This is a bit of a worry! I'm looking to finally update my version of LrC from LrC10.4, but rely on backup on exit to test catalog integrity and optimize. Is this failure to backup a problem relating to MacOS or does anyone with WIndows 10 also experience it? If it's a general problem, I...

    LR/ACR processing of RAW file from unsupported camera model (new to market)

    Thanks for your speedy help! It's great to know that I'll be able to process RAW straight away, by shooting in DNG format. If you have a moment to explain, I'm really curious to know just what is the difference between DNG and a camera manufacturer's proprietary format (in this case, PEF).

    LR/ACR processing of RAW file from unsupported camera model (new to market)

    A Pentax K3-III is about to arrive in my hands soon and I expect there'll be a (hopefully) short time when LR/ACR won't know about this model. How will RAW conversion be affected? Pentax offers the choice to use DNG or PEF - will it make any difference to use DNG?

    External Editor Problems

    Ditto - Photoshop 10.1 on Windows 10 PC, LR 9.4: "edit in Photoshop" does not create a TIFF filename-Edit, also no option to edit original, copy or copy with LR edits. So not due to Big Sur. Thank goodness the previous version of Photoshop is still on my PC, so it will be easy to revert.

    Deleting Photos via Collection

    What's even more irritating is when I want to delete a virtual copy that I created in the collection just to try out something and then decide to remove it. Anyway, you could set the "rejected" flag, filter them out whle you're working. Then eventually delete a whole lot at a time.

    Catalog Overload?

    Here's a different method to consider, it's my process for avoiding the some of the inevitable slowdown as the main catalog grows. Most of my photos are taken on trips. When I come home the catalog and photos are copied to my desktop and processed there (cull, rate, edit, a bit of...

    Thank you, Queenie

    Just a little note of gratitude for providing the link for Lightroom updates in your notes! It's so comfortable to simply click on the link to start up the download so I can then make the update under my own control, rather than bite my nails while watching Adobe CC (whatever it's called) try...

    Whither face recognition?

    Another vote from a user of face recognition. After a few nights of gritting my teeth and persevering, my family photos are now all up-to-date. I just wish that the face recognition algorithm would pick up on profiles! And yes, a "clear" button would be helpful.

    Lightroom CC Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    Hi Jim, thanks for the super-quick response! I'd already reported this on the same forum but in a different thread, getting no response, so I'm relieved that it's being looked at. The unzipped backup copy is actually ok, so the only way I'm worse off compared to LR5 is having to use Task...

    Lightroom CC Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    Catalog backup fails to complete. I have not been able to get a completed backup for my catalog ever since installing LR6, nor since LR6.0.1. LR "hangs" and can only be stopped by using Task Manager. This happens with and without "optimise" and/or "check for integrity". The catalog size...
