    Masking Person and retouch background

    Hi, yes, like you have said it's easy in Ps, but I wish it's also easy in Lr without saving the image in a new format. I like to stay in the nodestructive Lr workflow. Seems like they haven't included it, otherwise you don't need to use Ps anymore.

    Masking Person and retouch background

    Hi Paul, thanks for your reply, but I've tried and it doesn't worked so well. That's why i wonder if it’s not possible to clone something from the background while some parts are masked.

    Masking Person and retouch background

    Hi, I’m wondering a bit about the new masking functions. It's great to let the AI do the seleting and masking magic, but I wonder how to retouch a masked background. So far I couldn't find a tutorial, for my needs. I can blur and do colour edits to the background, but not retouch it. In my...

    Lightroom Presets to Nikon’s Picture Control Utility 2

    Hi, does anybody know a way to get colour presets into Nikon’s Picture Control Utility 2 ? I know there's also this "Nikon Picture Control Editor" web site to edit profiles for my Nikon, but how to get Lightrooms presets on my cam? Greets Frank

    Search for Headlines and Events

    Update @johnbeardy, I was too unpatiient to wait for any *Headline has been diplayed. Finally there are some for my my test with 6000 images. Let’s see long this will take for 200.000 images…

    Search for Headlines and Events

    Thanks, I just realise, I also have you Plug-in;-) Here it shows me all my Headlines, like I have expected it in Search + Replace under*Headlines. I just wonder why not: Maybe I’m not patient enough. Anyway, thank you all for your helpful plug-ins, I just wish Adobe would improve it in...

    Search for Headlines and Events

    Thanks for the info. Yes inded I haven't refreshed anything, but even if I did, nothing changed… I don't know what's going wrong. I wish Lightroom would have this implemented now, but like in Capture One, they haven't improved Digital Asset Management the last years. Well another story…

    Search for Headlines and Events

    Hi John, thanks for your answer. I use already your plug-in, but it doesn't look like this in the Metadata flied. I wish it would look like that but it isn't otherwise I wouldn't ask here. I don't know what went wrong. Even with all Headlines assigned, there are rather no entries. Most of them...

    Search for Headlines and Events

    Hi, I wonder how to search and display all used headlines. I use Headlines to describe Events. Okay these are implemented in LR (now), but not visable in all Digital Asset Management software. With the plug-in "Data Explorer" results are a bit cryptic and only shows me the "Headline Length". I...

    Catalog on external SSD - Read/Write Speed Performance

    Thanks everybody for the input. Sure my actual internal SSD is way faster than any external SSD could be. My problem is also the internal SDD has "only" 1TB, so the 250GB (500.000+ 1024px previews) catalog is on a SSD and the RAW files on a HD. Because I run out of memory anyway, even on my...

    Catalog on external SSD - Read/Write Speed Performance

    Hi Clee, thanks for your reply. Well as said I would like to store my RAW files on an external HDD anyway, but I wonder if my big catalogs 800.000+, will be load much faster…

    Catalog on external SSD - Read/Write Speed Performance

    Hi, I’m thinking about to buy a SSD enclosure (40Gbps) with a 2-4TB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD (up to 3500MB/s) and connect it via Thunderbot / USB 4 to my MacBook Pro M1. My RAW images are stored all on a 18TB Harddisk. I guess it will be ca. the half speed of Apple's internal soldered SSD...

    LR Classic - Storage & Performance

    As previously said, get as much RAM as possible (depends on your budget), even with this swap memory on Apple silicon… My workflow is like this. After a photo job I download all images on my internal SSD. Over night i let it render 1:1 previews. Then I do the edit and after all it will be moved...

    selected "collection" name to "job identifier" script or plug-in

    thanks for your feedback. that‘s why i‘ve said “selected“. i had a script for media pro which did something similar.

    Replace one character in file names.

    I wonder too , why this simple feature isn't included in Lightroom. Capture One can do it but missing all these useful Pug-Ins. There is John Beardsworth’s Search + Replace Plug-In, but it doesn't work with file names. Only IPTC meta data etc. Usually I do all the rename stuff outside of any...

    selected "collection" name to "job identifier" script or plug-in

    hi, I'm looking for a script or plug-in to copy and paste the selected collection name to all media inside’s "job identifier". i could do it manually, but with hundreds of collections I'm a little bit lazy… there is John Beardsworth plug-in "Search + Replace" , but it copies all collections...

    Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error. / Your System Has Run Out of Application Memory.

    hi guys thanks for getting some feedback. i just thought nowadays with this super apple silicon it's not necessary anymore to have much memory – i was wrong. so next time i buy any other soldered mac, i need to invest another grand into RAM… my only solution so is then to spit up the catalogs...

    Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error. / Your System Has Run Out of Application Memory.

    Hi, I'm still in my master catalog merging process, but regarding to my other post "Master Catalog Size Limit / Usability" here in the forum, it seems like a mission impossible to work with a 1 mio. picture catalog. I definetly can’t recommend it, because the process takes days to import...

    lrtemplate to XMP Meta Data Converter - Lightroom Classic > Bridge

    Thanks for your answer. Well my idea using Bridge again to mimic a bit PhotoMechanic. which still lacks needed Digital Asset Management features and as well templates / presets with IPTC + Geo data. I would like to be independent from any Digital Asset Management software and get the XMP...

    lrtemplate to XMP Meta Data Converter - Lightroom Classic > Bridge

    Hi I have posted this already in Adobe's Forum, but not sure if I will get some good input. More active here. Does anybody knows a software, plugin, script or action to convert meta data (IPTC / Geo data) presets from Lightroom Classic (.lrtemplate) to meta data presets for Bridge/Photoshop...

    Import Photos Catalog takes forever

    Well, if nobody replies, I do. "The Computer Says NO!" So I share my experience. It is quite bit disappointing so far. Regarding to my post in may 2022 "Master Catalog Size Limit / Usability" and @Victoria Bampton, who tested a catalog of 1.3 mio. photos, I regulary ran out of application...

    Import Photos Catalog takes forever

    Hi, I’m still at my mega project. I'm merging all my converted Media Pro, Aperure and Lightroom catalogs in one master Lightroom catalog. Unfortunately, counting now 1.100.000 photos, it takes forever to import them. The general import goes quite fast (Importing Photos, Updating Imported...
