    Lightroom Catalog Size vs. Efficiency?

    Haha. So true, I remember reading an article a while back when a guy with umpteen thousands of images across terabytes of drives was asked what would happen to his images when he passed away. he replied, I guess my son will format the drives and store games on them!

    Website Closure is cancelled! We're staying open!

    Ahh such a shame. Thanks to all for your help and time both directly and indirectly over the years, it has been most appreciated, I too did visit the forum several times a day so it will be a big loss to me as well, especially as over these years I have gotten to know the style, knowledge...

    Why I decided to upgrade to Lightroom Classic

    Haha. we come from the same era Phil, that's exactly what I did. I used orwochrome, it was cheap enough that I could just about afford it, the grain was pretty poor but the colours were like the old Technicolor movies As time moved on I managed to squeeze out a little more from the budget and...

    Why I decided to upgrade to Lightroom Classic

    Haha wasn't me for sure. My little old Honda Jazz (Honda Fit I believe overseas) is now 12 years old and just passed the 133,000 mile mark. We both groan in unison now when I take it for a drive !

    Why I decided to upgrade to Lightroom Classic

    This is true when you cost the subscription into your business or personal budget plans, however the sad part is that at some point in the future retirement looms or circumstances change and the costs of subscription may not be affordable in the budget anymore. The subscription route then...

    Develop module Image not the same in Library as in Develop

    Interesting, a bug as Hal thought. Thanks for clarifying

    Best- (most efficient) Setup ?

    Similar to yourself I too have my settings to backup the catalogue on exit. This creates a compressed copy of my Catalogue at the location I have chosen in a folder that is time stamped, therefore each time I exit and save I create another compressed backup copy of the catalogue, thus giving me...

    Best- (most efficient) Setup ?

    The concern that Hal is raising is, that the images on your copydrive that you are using as a backup may be in a folder structure/names that are different from the Lightroom images folders/names and if you ever move any images using Lightroom to a different folder/name they would certainly not...

    Develop Module Shows Pixelated Photo - Library Does Not

    Mine is the same as Ron's, Lr 6.13 Win 10 but displayed on a 55inch 4K TV and it looks just fine even when looking for the banding Steve

    Slow to open and operate (will fresh install help?)

    Glad it helped. You could also check the power option of windows and see if it is set to performance or a power save option. Steve

    Slow to open and operate (will fresh install help?)

    I would run Windows task manager first and look under the performance tab to see if I could see what the bottleneck was. Give a shout if you are unsure how to do this Steve

    Keyword Hierarchy problem

    Sure I understand, and my observation was maybe a bit off topic and probably in the wrong place, however, thanks for the heads up, it was useful info to know Thanks all Steve

    Keyword Hierarchy problem

    Really, I never knew that Keywords Hierarchies etc was going to be dropped, I do not have the funds to go to a subscription based solution and this new fact just adds to the "stay where I am" camp. I have just hit retirement and as such cannot justify the spends for a hobby. Now leading up to...

    Keyword Hierarchy problem

    Operating System: Windows 10 Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): 6.13 Perpetual Hi Chaps, I’ve not used Lightroom keywording for a while and now after a couple of Lightroom updates I am back to keywording my collection and hit a problem. It appears that whenever I create a new...

    Version 6.13 update patch

    That's a pain! Mine went through fine from the update menu albeit a little slowly, not that it help you much, sorry. The "what's new" link points to here: Feature summary for Lightroom CC 2015.x/Lightroom 6.x releases

    Solved: Lightroom only shows splash screen #2

    Not the same issue as Wolfgang, this was perpetual licence 6.1 reinstall after a system rebuild after a disk swap out. Lightroom ran first time from the install but after exit and restart would only get as far as the slash screen. So I could only run it once after an install. Tried turning off...

    Using dropbox to work on both desktop and laptop?

    I had my catalog on Dropbox and onedrive for a while to allow editing from a PC or on occasion a Laptop, the two biggest problems I encountered was that when I switched on the Laptop after a week or so, the Laptop chundled away for ages to sync up so I had to ensure that the sync was complete...

    To DNG or not to DNG?

    Tim, Hoggy, your help has been invaluable and using your pointers and suggestions I have run a series of tests and found the problem. It appears that the Universal Media Server (UMS) has a problem with the image file if the "Embed Fast Load Data" is set during the Lightroom operations. Now...

    To DNG or not to DNG?

    Thats a very interesting observation Tim, if the same is happening now with the later releases, then that could well account for the problems I am having as they are almost identical to what you experienced with your digital picture frame. Thanks for the pointer Steve V

    How to maintain virtual copies easily

    Chaps, I don't think the OP means periodic database renewals in the sense that you are taking it, what I think he is trying to say is that he had to renew his catalog in the past due to anomalies, has lost his virtual copies because of this and additional he is questioning the XMP files and why...

    To DNG or not to DNG?

    Thanks for th e pointer Tim. I am still undecided as I have found a small glitch in part of my potential workflow scenarios where lightroom and the DNG conversion do not seem to be 100% the same and cause a 3rd party software issue. I have mentioned it here in the Adobe feedback: Lightroom 6 DNG...

    How to maintain virtual copies easily

    If you want to ensure you have a hard copy of the virtual image, one option may be to export the virtual image as a DNG file and pick the option in the export page to keep in same folder and add to stack. You will then have the original, the virtual image and a DNG copy of the virtual image with...

    To DNG or not to DNG?

    This question always raises lively debates as it needs to cover so many angles. I raised a similar question a while back and I am still undecided but I am starting to lean towards DNG at an ever increasing angle. My reasons are to cover three main requirements. (1) Standardise, I have a...
