    Conversion of .nef images to .jpg while retaining original .nef in Lightroom catalog?

    I have a mixture of .nef and .jpg mostly travel images (separated into folders by year) in my LR 6.14 catalog. While the .jpg images are easily viewable on MS OneDrive, the .nefs are not. If I export the .nef images to new folders on my PC’s hard drive, will those .nef files be converted to...

    Develop Presets with Lightroom 6.14

    I've looked at various YouTube offerings with fair to excellent videos on designing and saving Develop presets, but so far I've not been able to find any of these videos for creating and saving Develop presets in Lightroom 6.14; the videos all seem aimed at Lightroom CC. Is it useful to...

    LR CC Camera Profiles for Nikon Z 6

    I’m still hanging on (sometimes it seems by my thumbs) to my LR 6.14 perpetual license but I’m contemplating biting the proverbial and subscribing to LR Classic. I’ve acquired several sets of camera profiles from an independent vendor for two or three Nikons and several Panasonic M43 G models...

    Camera Profiles for Nikon D2H Type II

    I’ve been using “Cross Camera Profiles” from PS Kiss for many years (Nikons D200, D300, D80, D700, the Panasonic GX series) for the Nikon D2H. After many hours of experimentation the Nikon D2H Type II profile has become my camera profile of choice. I’m now trying to return from a hiatus from...

    Unwanted Popuup Link

    Operating System: Win 10 Lightroom 6.12 Every time I boot up my desktop PC, or even on some web pages I've opened, I get an Adobe popup that give me two choices, "quit" or "repair". Quit closes the popup with no further action required and Repair brings me to another dialog box which asks me...

    Are some Lightroom CC Processes Available in Stand-alone LR?

    I've used non-subscription Lightroom for years (currently 6.xxx), but have never wanted to be committed to the CC subscription. At least once a week I receuve Lightroom promo emails with new tips on using CC to resolve and/or improve LR actions. I have assumed that these tips can only be used...

    Dviding Image Files into Smaller Pieces

    I'm pretty reluctant to post in this forum and perhaps should be posting my question in the Adobe Community users' group forum, so I hope not to get mauled here for asking a silly question, nevertheless, here goes: I have a task in which I have approximately 700 plus photographic images of head...

    Just Venting about Adobe "Customer Service" It's Nothing Personal.

    I, who about 4 to 6 weeks ago purchased and installed (with a bit of avice here about LR serial numbers) LR6.6 as an upgrade to my LR5.7, and purchased a "perpetual" license for that upgrade, paying $79.50 plus sales tax by credit card. Today I received an Adobe email stating the my 30-day...

    Create Additional/Separate Catalog for Wife's Images(our) existing catalog

    For some years I've assisted my wife in importing her images into our one LR catalog. Although she's not wanted to spend a good deal of time using LR to enhance her photographs (she's only shooting jpgs), she does appreciate the organizng virtues of the LR system; however, she's only happy with...

    A Lost Follow-up Post re Upgrade from LR 5.7 to 6.6

    As I attempt to download and install LR 6.6, I remember, and am still experiencing the problem(s) I encountered yesterday. I go through the process to unzip the LR files that have been downloaded (I've tried and "over-unzipped" these files three or four times and I get a message that I'm unable...

    Upgrading Lightroom 5.7--Serial Number Question

    I'm currently using LR 5.7 and I'm finally getting around to upgrading it to LR 6.6. I remember from long-ago previous upgrades, I had to insert the "most recent"(?) serial number as part of the purchasing/downloading/installation process. I seem to remember that I simply opened LR and found...

    Does Older Camera Body Retain Color Character with Newer Lightroom Version?

    There's always a question, as new camera bodies come to market, about when Lightroom will "recognize" camera RAWs from the new bodies, and, sure enough, LR's next iteration will now be open to deal with one's new camera body. What happens, though, when updated LR versions no longer recognize...

    No Need to Rename the .lrcat.lock and .lrcat-journal files When Renaming Catalog?

    is it correct that the .lrcat.lock and .lrcat-journal files are temporary "appendages" to the CatalogName.lrcat file, disappear with each closing of the catalog, and need not be considered in the catalog renaming process (those two associated files only are seen for about one second when the LR...

    Setting Default Import Destinantion

    For several years, at least from 2008 through 2012, my photos, imported from my card reader, and without any new naming conventions or a destination folder specified, nicely ended up by year, then by date, in the catalog's principal folder (I'd named it Lightroom Phots T1) one level below the...

    Restoring Already Imported Photos to Currently Non-existent Subfolder

    I'd rather afraid that I exhausted my fairly recent post and updates re moving subfolders from one erroneous parent folder down to the correct parent folder, so I'm going to re-post my followup question in the hope that it will be noticed. Here it is (the OP, in this Managing Your Photos and...

    Moving images from One Parenht Folder to Another and Keeping Original Subfolder Dates

    Through my careless, untrained attempt to move images in my LR5.7, instead of importing 724 catalog images to their proper designated file folders under “Lightroom Phots T1”, I somehow either moved or imported them into Lightroom file folders named 2013, 2014 and 2015 under a parent folder named...

    Comparing Catalogs Side-by-Side?

    In my clumsy off-again, on-again process of backing up my what-used-to-be-sole catalog I'd inadvertently somehow designated my working cataog to be a backup catalog, thereby creating about 25 or 26 catalogs. A very experienced LR user and friend has helped narrow the problem down to four...

    Exporting Images to PC Hard Drive--Limis?

    My wife has just returned from China with my son, daughter-in-law and a new, adopted grandson. My son would like to fill in some of potential scrapbook gaps with some of the jpgs my wife has made while my son and his wife were solidly otherwise occupied. Because it is likely that the IPS email...

    PSKiss Cross Camera Profiles and Competitors

    I've been using PSKiss Cross Camera Profiles for Lightroom for both my Nikon DSLRs and three Panasonic M43 bodiesmover a few years. I use these profiles to emulate what has become my favorite default look for my images, i.e., the Nikon D2X, Mode 2, which I'd decribe as a subtly marginally cool...

    "Duplicate" DNG files and File Management

    Perhaps I should just take my SD card to the drugstore and turn it over to their more capable hands. My wife and I have just returned from a 2-1/2 week trip to France (principally Paris) and Ireland (Sligo and Dublin). I downloaded 126 France images and 258 Ireland images, and they quite...

    Moving Images from Erroneously Created Subdirectory into Appropriate Directory

    I'm using LR 5.5 and somehow (I'm currently looking in the mirror) my 2013 and 2014 have "strayed" into a different directory (my OS is Win 7) from my catalog directory containing my remaining images, year by year, which go back, courtesy of some scanning, as far back as the 50s. I'd like...

    1) Modifying Develop Presets and 2) reduce exposure in camera or in LR PP with preset

    1) I'm using PSKiss Cross-camera Profiles to establish a Nikon D2X Mode II develop preset in LR5 for the Nikon D610. This is one of the Nikon camera calibrations that was contained in earlier LR versions but that Adobe no longer provides for LR. I use the preset on import to establish a...

    Simulating (Approximatel) Print Size

    I'm just making my first test shots with my new Nikon D610 and, in Library, when I view the various image magnification sizes, and see the labeled "Fit", "Fill", 1:1, 3:1 and the other choices in the drop-down menu, Is it possible to identify approximate magnifications for various standard print...

    Uploading to "Nikonians"

    As a Nikon owner, I'd like to upload images to my postings or to my "gallery" at the Nikonians website, much as one can now fairly easily upload i images to Flickr, Facebook, etc, using the presets built into LR 5.3. I know It is unlikely that LR will provide such presets within the program...

    Nikon D610 D2X Mode II Camera Calibrations Not Included in Lightroom 5.3?

    I've read in another forum that, while for D700, D90 and other Nikon bodies, Nikon D2X Mode II camera calibrations have been provided in many, perhaps most, recent LR iterations because those codes (that's my layperson's guess at the terminology) were made available to Adobe by Nikon, but that...
