    Replace original edits with virtual copy edits

    I use virtual copies to try different crops and development steps. I now have several images where the virtual copy is my preferred edit. Is there a way to permanently replace the original edits with the virtual copy edits? There was an old post on the Adobe forums that suggested "Click on the...

    Question (and Caution) about External Editor Preset Settings

    A while ago I installed Aurora HDR and have been using it, mostly with good results. At that time I didn't realize that the Aurora HDR installation set-up an External Editor preset. Recently I installed Topaz DeNoise AI and had to go to Preferences > External Editing to set it up as an external...

    Does anyone have experience with Rawsie?

    I've recently seen references to Rawsie (formerly called Dotphoton RAW) which bills itself as providing lossless compression to RAW files, but I know nothing about it. My photographs currently consume about 450GB, about 50% of my internal hard drive's capacity, and I only have about 10% of the...

    Panorama from Developed Images

    I took several images of autumn colors last year and developed them independently. Recently I realized that the images might be used to to make a panorama because there was some overlap. I created the panorama successfully but the colors seemed to be those of the original imported but not...

    Map Module doesn't show image locations

    I use a geotagger that applies GPS locations to my photos before I import them into LR. In the past, image locations appeared on the Map but some at some point in time that has stopped (I haven't used LR in about 6 months). When I go to previous imports that previously showed locations on the...

    Copy/Paste Develop Settings - show history detail?

    In Develop, when I copy settings from one image and paste them in another, the history of the second image only shows "Paste Settings." Is it possible to see all the history steps in the second image instead of just "Paste Settings"? Thanks!

    Metadata Status: Conflict Detected

    I've just looked a a folder in LR that has a number of thumbnails marked "Metadata has conflict" in the upper right corner. I printed one of these images in November 2018 and the warnings were not present at that time. I have not looked at these images since that time until today and I have not...

    Edit a single image which is part of an HDR stack?

    I have been experimenting with HDR using photos taken recently in Sedona, AZ. I exposed many of these photos using bracketed exposures (+/- 1 stop) and have merged them as HDR. I would like to compare the resulting edited (developed) HDR with an edited version of the normal exposure. After...

    Side bars and Filmstrip Missing (black, not closed)

    I don't know what I did but LR Classic CC (Mac) showed only the Title Bar, the Identity Plate & Module Picker, the Breadcrumb Bar (and possibly the Filter Bar), and the Preview Area. The left and right sidebars were blank (black area, not hidden) as was the filmstrip and the Toolbar. Clicking...

    Image meets smart collection criteria but not in smart collection

    I created a smart collection with three conditions: image is flagged, any searchable text includes 'word1', and any searchable text does not include 'word2'. There were 13 images in the collection but one needed additional editing outside of Lightroom so I imported the edited image with...

    Where are Layout Styles

    I'm trying to create a single print with multiple images. I know I should be selecting Custom Package in the Layout Styles panel, but I only see Layout, not Layout Styles in the Print Module. Is this something only available in Lightroom CC? Is there another way to do this in Lightroom 6.10.1...
