    Collection management

    Very large Collections / ~sets slow down Lightroom Classic?

    My main Lr machine is still a 2013 MacBook Pro 15" Retina w/ 16GB RAM. My "private" catalog holds 150,000 images and tends to be quite slow, whereas a fresh catalog is still reasonably responsive. I always thought that my 150,000 images catalog was slow because there are so many images. Then...

    Reconnecting Collections to a new Catalog

    I had a fault with LR Classic in Print Module. When clicking the Page Background colour selector LR closed down. After spending 10 hours at least online with Apple (Who were fantastic) and Adobe (less said the better) we identified the problem as a corrupt Catalog. Adobe created a new .Ircat...

    Collections by client

    Hi, I want to start (finally) using collections in Lightroom Classic. But I want to have smart collections by customer. Not all customers but for example the top ten or so. Where do I have to enter the customers name in the metadata so that a collection can pick it up automatically?

    Re-Sync LR Classic Collections

    I recently switched from LR CC to LR Classic and synched all the files to LR Classic. I was able to break the sync between LR Classic and LR Cloud and sync from LR Classic to the Cloud. I deleted all files on LR CC, but found several files which did not get synced so I needed to restore. Now my...

    Completely Remove Virtual Copy Made When Collection Selected

    I'm looking for a (hopefully) simpler/better way to complete the above. I've created a collection of photos. As I am reviewing them, sometimes I create a VC to play around with different settings. If I decide to abandon that approach, the only choice I had is to remove the VC from the...

    Having sync issues between Lr (Cloud based) and LrC (Classic)

    I used to be able to create albums in the cloud based version of Lightroom (Lr), and since my Lightroom Classic is connected to the cloud, I would see a new collection in LrC that would match the newly created album in Lr. Now, this doesn't happen anymore. I only noticed yesterday, but it might...

    Add Exported Pictures to Collection

    I know this can be done in a two step operation but I was wondering if anyone has seen a plug-in where you could specify the collection to add a photo to in the Export dialog box?

    Copy Photos in Collection to External Drive?

    Hi. I'm new to LR and have already learned a lot through this site, but I'm still getting used to the folder and collection structure. I've imported photos from several trips into LR. The photos are spread across several folders on an external hard drive. I'd like to move a copy of each of the...

    Deleting Photos via Collection

    Have tried searching here and in Victoria's Missing FAQ to no avail. Looking for a tip on the steps you use to destructively delete one or more photos you run across via a Collection (from both the Lightroom catalog and the disk -- not just the smart or dumb collection view itself.) My...

    Is there a shortcut to select a Collection and all its images

    When I click a Collection the view switches to the images of the Collection with 1 Selected image.

    Replacing an image in place with a new better scan, while retaining edits, orientation, crops, keywords, and collections?

    I have an unusual problem: I scanned a few thousand slides, and imported them into Lightroom Classic, fixed orientations, created some collections, did some edits, etc. I also retained the RAW scanner output - which isn't actually useful in Lightroom - it's scanner-specific, and LR doesn't...
