    Moving LR6 from Windows 7 to a new Windows 10 PC

    In the end I settled on the "Install Lightroom first then copy across my presets and plugins" approach. It's a very mandraulic approach, but seems to have worked OK. Interestingly, the link that Jim provides to 6.14 is for a "complete" installation, I didn't have to install 6.0 then update to...

    Moving LR6 from Windows 7 to a new Windows 10 PC

    An interesting idea, and a tool I wasn't aware of. If I was trying to preserve more than just a few presets and plugins I'd maybe give it a go, but... apart from said presets and plugins I'm consciously trying to leave behind as much of the mess on the Windows 7 PC as possible, with clean...

    Moving LR6 from Windows 7 to a new Windows 10 PC

    Perhaps not the most original title. [Luddite Alert] I'm doing my homework before moving my LR6 installation, from a Windows 7 system to a new Windows 10 system, I've read the website and I've read the e-book, but questions remain: I know where all my photos are (on networked drives), I know...

    Missing Steps from Develop History

    Thank you gentlemen, I think we can now bring this to a close. I believe I have now reduced this to the absolute minimum: Create new catalogue Import a single image Do stuff to it Export or Publish Do more stuff to it Undo until the buffer shows empty (option grey'd out...

    Missing Steps from Develop History

    What I am seeing is that the sliders on the Publish step are different to the sliders on the Auto Tone step - of an image I haven't worked with recently. Furthermore, the sliders in the publish step do not match the sliders in ANY earlier step for that image. I am NOT saying that I see the...

    Missing Steps from Develop History

    I'm referring to the four steps in the history panel of a single image. I would have expected the Publish event to be unchanged with respect to the Auto Tone step.

    Missing Steps from Develop History

    [or, there's something weird going on here"] Imagine an image with a fairly simple history, displayed as: Publish Auto Tone Auto White Balance <Name of Import Preset> All four show different settings on the develop sliders. How can Publishing an image change its Develop...

    Searchable Metadata - Part 2

    John, Thanks for the note on '#'. Since you're here, I'll enquire whether you would expect your Search/Replace plugin to have any problems searching on '#' characters. If not I may just register that and do a mass replace of the '#' with something less confusing. The original intent was simply...

    Library module Searchable Metadata

    Louie, As regards (1), I do have to do it pretty much across the board. The Minolta Dimage was a lovely camera (of its time) but lens distortion is quite noticible and the vast majority of the images are architectural/industrial in nature which makes it even more obvious. The end results are...

    Searchable Metadata - Part 2

    During my investigations into searchable metadata (in another thread) I've noticed some very strange results when the search string includes the hash '#' character. Is anyone aware of '#' having any mystical properties as some sort of a wildcard, or maybe being ignored completely? Or is search...

    Library module Searchable Metadata

    The original issue went roughly as follows: I have several thousand images, spread across several hundred collections, which all have to be processed through Photoshop (to do lens corrections that are known to the PT-Lens plugin but not to Lightroom itself) the results of which then need to be...

    Library module Searchable Metadata

    Thanks for the link. That was actually the page I had reached last night when I threw in the towel and posted here. After an evening of tutorials and blog posts telling me how I could "search for fields LIKE ..." and "search for fields SUCH AS ...", I finally find the right page on the Adobe...

    Library module Searchable Metadata

    Before I waste too much time working it out for myself <G> ... Is anyone aware of a definitive list of which IPTC and EXIF metatdata fields are treated as "searchable" by the Library Filter "text" search? Ta.

    IPTC Date Created

    Thank you all for your thoughts. I suspect that Johan has hit the nail on the head - Adobe either didn't think anyone would ever use Lightroom for images that didn't arrive straight from a DSLR (datestamped to the nearest second - or better) or else they just didn't read the standards ...

    IPTC Date Created

    According to the IPTC Spec: IPTC Date Created Represented in the form CCYYMMDD to designate the date the intellectual content of the objectdata was created rather than the date of the creation of the physical representation. Follows ISO 8601 standard. Where the month or day cannot be determined...

    Multiple Lens Profiles - Search Order

    This question arises from my "Tokina AT-X 12-28 F4 PRO DX", but is probably more general. First: The Background When I got this lens I was using Lightroom 4 and the lens was not recognised. Following the clues on the web, I proceeded to copy the file: "NIKON CORPORATION (Tokina AT-X 12-28 F4...

    Developing From the Right

    Thank you, that video neatly addresses exactly the situation I'm looking at and clearly shows me the sort of things I should be aware of. [How could you have known, seven years ago, what I was going ask?]

    Developing From the Right

    Much has been written (and argued) about "Exposing To the Right", but this is more about "Developing From the Right". Given an exposure-bracketed sequence, in which NONE of the frames show any highlight clipping, am I correct in thinking that I should always target my Development efforts at...

    Nikon Shutter Count

    The intention is to rename the images already inside Ligthroom, to match a future pre-import renaming scheme. (Shuttercount looked like a convenient and, above all, compact solution to uniqueness). It took me a while to work out what my Nikon was doing with its filenames, when changing SD cards...

    Nikon Shutter Count

    Thanks for the speedy reply. Does the fact that I've got Rob Cole's ExifMeta installed open any avenues? That appears to be able to read Nikon_ShutterCount, and get it into the catalogue, but I see no way of exposing it to the rename functions (yours or otherwise).

    Nikon Shutter Count

    Does anyone know of a way to expose the "Shutter Count" value present in Nikon EXIF data such that LR6 Rename Files function or John Beardsworth's "SearchReplace" plugin can get hold of it? This needs to work without editing the original image files (otherwise I could obviously just use...

    Sidecar Files - What extensions does LR6 recognise

    Johan: Thanks, Synchronise does indeed pick up lately-added sidecars. Rob: You warning about DxO is much appreciated. The issue is compounded by the fact, that on my setup at least, DSC_0001.NEF is accompanied by DSC_0001.NEF.dop which isn't even the same base file name! I can see a need to...

    Sidecar Files - What extensions does LR6 recognise

    Does anyone know of a definitive list of file extensions that LR6 treats as being sidecar files? What I've deduced so far: .xmp (this is a given - after all, LR writes them) .jpg (when shooting RAW+JPG) .wav and .mp3 (from what I have read on the web) .thm (by observation of what happens when...
