    Nik Collection is back

    Aye, there is that I guess. :)

    Nik Collection is back

    Yeah, I expected much better integration with Photolab (aka "any") but hopefully, that will come soon and it will be accessible like ViewPoint and FilmPak. Very happy that Nik is not being abandoned and left to die. I missed out on the original big bucks release and first bought it via Google -...

    Lr Classic 7.4 release for June

    I recently took the plunge and went down the subscription route, with no issues on the updates received since. The Adobe CC manager pops up shortly after booting if an update is available, and can be downloaded through it. Alternatively you can manually check via LR's Help menu.

    Uh oh... Something is not good

    I always import with YYYYMMDD- prefixed to the camera's original filename, which avoids a heap of potential filename-related issues - especially as my more recent D810 file imports started out with the same filename sequence as my earlier D3's imported files.

    How "much" MIDI controller is useful?

    Ah - oops, sorry. :eek: Always late to the party...

    How "much" MIDI controller is useful?

    Talking of MIDI controllers... I thought this was potentially a nice idea and something I'd not thought of but for me, the limitation/annoyance would be with controls named either generically (F1, F2, F3 etc) or for a musical environment (Track, Stop, Rewind etc). But today I came across this...

    HDR Panorama workflow

    This, especially!

    editing jpegs in lightroom 5

    Hmm - "improve a jpeg" covers a multitude of sins so the generic answer might be "it depends on what needs improving". :grin: But you still have access to all of Lightroom's editing capabilities because they're not dependent on the type of file - so although a raw file allows wider editing...

    Catalog backups- can't seem to find lr.cat file

    And just to add - even when the extension is hidden you can see that the file has been successfully associated with Lightroom because it has the LR icon displayed next to it. If there was some issue with the file name the association wouldn't have happened and the file would likely just display...

    Lightroom CC and a router issue

    Excellent! :D I'm very pleased to have helped.

    Lightroom CC and a router issue

    Yes, good point about signing out actually requiring a connection - both from a safety viewpoint and also for more effective rights management back at Adobe. Thanks for reporting all this to Adobe - much appreciated.

    Lightroom CC and a router issue

    Thanks for doing the test - and I later thought that if this is related to what LR thinks is a connection/no connection, then I should also try it with the cable unplugged from the back of the PC. Guess what? I booted Windows with the cable physically removed and LR6 started with no problem...

    Lightroom CC and a router issue

    Ok, fair enough. I thought it might be useful to investigate a working system to see if some network condition might be found that makes it misbehave. Just one thing though: what does your Help menu have instead of the logged in information? I assume that information isn't present. Thanks for...

    Lightroom CC and a router issue

    Jim, if you're able to try it - try disabling the network somewhere further up the chain than the machine's network port, if that's where you're trying it. My failure is essentially the same as Jimmsp's in that the machine has a physical connection to a network, but the far end of it doesn't...

    Lightroom CC and a router issue

    But it does need an internet connection to be able to start running at all - essentially meaning that it can't be used on (say) a laptop out in the wilds with no hope of a connection. This is markedly different to the operation of LR5.x and, to me, is not a perpetual license. It's perpetual...

    Lightroom 6 (Perpetual) Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    Cletus, I found the app manager: it's on the Windows program menu as "Adobe Creative Cloud". Oops... :oops: On starting it manually it first updated itself (to version 2.0.0.74) - quite a hefty download too. When finished it lists a long series of Adobe applications with a "try" button next to...

    Lightroom CC and a router issue

    Interesting - I have practically the same problem with a perpetual license installation of LR6. See here, and following: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/showthread.php?24997-Lightroom-6-%28Perpetual%29-Issues-after-Install-%96-For-Windows-Users&p=1165846&viewfull=1#post1165846

    Lightroom 6 (Perpetual) Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    Yes, I agree with this - it does seem to be a one-off event and while I wasn't running LR6 for hours after successfully signing on, I did remove the network connection once I'd verified I was logged on and then ran it for 20 minutes or so with no issues; the Help menu still showed me as logged...

    Lightroom 6 (Perpetual) Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    Hi Cletus, thanks for the welcome. Hmm. Nice to have confirmation that a subscription product is actually less aggressive about checking rights than a supposedly stand-alone product! :shock: I'd already installed the patch to 6.0.1 - I spotted the failing F1 help on 6.0 and thought that...

    Lightroom 6 (Perpetual) Issues after Install – For Windows Users

    LR fails to start with no network connection I've successfully upgraded from LR 5.7 to 6.0 (and today, to 6.0.1) with no major issues so far, and it's showing as 6.0.1/perpetual licence. I expected to be able to use LR with no network connection, assuming that rather like CC, it would need to...
