Hi I moved from Windows to a Mac. I moved all my photos and settings and now on my Mac I have all my photos , presets etc and the same catalog.
However many of my collections are empty. Is there a way to fix this so I have all my collections populated as before?
I have recently been having issues with the import module and during testing to solve the issue Keywords were being duplicated. Inadvertently (stupidly) I deleted the wrong keywords for around 5000 images. These are only in one catalogue and the images are stored in folders by year (2021, 2022...
In "All Photographs", I used the metadata filter to select just the photos for 2024 and then I did a select all and then Stacking => Auto Stack by Capture Time and I have various stacks. I then did Stacking => Expand All Stacks. Select all and made a collection called 2024 Prospects and then...
I found that my collections were corrupted. images in certain collections belonged to another collection which is listed right before it in the library collections list. I'm not sure when this occurred. I looked at old backups and I see it was bad for the past 3 weeks. how do you correct...
I like to create Saved Prints and keep them in specific collections...but almost every time I create a saved print and drag it into a collection, it is added to every other saved print in that collection. The same thing often happens when I simply add new photos to a collection. That means I...
I posted this over on the Adobe Forum Post but thought I'd see if anyone here is seeing this issue:
I just upgraded to Lightroom Classic 13.3.1 (Intel MacBook Pro os v 14.5 (23F79)) and I’m experiencing some bizarre behavior in collections.
While, in the development module I will be working...
Hi
I have a lot of images in collections synced to the cloud as smart previews from Lightroom Classic, I want to use my iPad to sort and cull many of these images. I can see these collections as albums in Lightroom on my iPad, however working with these in the cloud is slow. Each image needs to...
Hi there,
I just did a wedding and now have the images in LR and I've done edits sufficient for thumb driving for the couple. After that I'll start on their album.
What I envision doing is making a smart collection of all the 3+ rated images to put on their thumb drive, but also be able to use...
I noticed recently that a few collections in my catalogue were empty. It seemed very random. I located the pics that were supposed to be in those collections in theri folders. When I tried to re-add them back to their collections, they would add. but then immediately disappear a few seconds...
Let's say I have a photo in raw format and in the course of working with it in Lightroom I've added it to multiple collections. Now I decide to edit it in PhotoShop, which results in a derived tiff file. It's named <original name>-Edit.tif and is stacked with the original raw file.
The derived...
I want to be able to create collections in LrC, and then effectively drag that collection into the Flickr publish service, rather than having to create a duplicate collection in the Flickr publish collection. is this possible?
thanks!
I've been using a single catalogue for years, about 130k images, and it's gotten very slow, maybe buggy (I optimize it regularly) so I'm creating a new catalogue and moving images over. I realize a number of pitfalls like published collections, etc. Is there a way to take some/all of my previous...
Currently I take a trip (lets say) and I come home and I put all the photos in one collection and call it "Foo Trip". Then after some fiddling I might make a smart collection and call it "Best of Foo Trip". Or in a recent example I have a smart collection called "Birds of Foo Trip". But my...
I have DxO PureRaw as a plug in and I am very happy with it. However when it imports the processed file to the original folder it also adds it to a collection. I don't want this and I have tried deleting the collection folder. It simply creates a new one next time. DxO says it is nothing to do...
Great original content, great forum, thank you, Victoria. I feel I have wasted too much time trying to find answers on my own or going to the semi-official Adobe support forum.
I see that there is an LrC and an LR subforums. There should be one for "Trying to live in LrC and LR at once and...
Please help! I am having serious problem with Lightroom Classic. I shot myself in my foot by changing my folder and file structure outside of Lightroom. I relocated my photos to their locations by syncing to the new locations. I can see and work on all photos at the new location. However...
I was working in a rather large collection, when it stopped allowing me to delete photos from the collection. I could still view in the library, and navigate around, but not delete.
I selected all the photos in the collection and made a new collection with a different name.
When I tried to...
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?
All of a sudden (it was working yesterday) I am unable to place photos from my library into collections. If I select several photos from a folder, as soon as I try to drag them to a collection they become unselected. When I try to just drag a single photo nothing happens. Did something...
This used to work, but now does not, as LRC 11.0.
I want to create a smart collection based a small number of criteria -- has star rating at least 2, has color flag of blue, and has a title assigned.
The first two work fine. However, it refused to filter based on "title is not empty."
I...
I'm wondering if there's an easier way to do this or if my workflow is wrong.
I have my RAW files in LR with ratings, keywords and collections. When I use an external editor (e.g., PS) on a photo, a "derived" TIFF file comes back to LR, and it has the same ratings and keywords as the original...
I would like to have a collection of images (from one folder) that is synchronized with it's parent folder so, if I add or delete an image in the parent folder the collection reflects the changes. Any thoughts how to do this?
I want to re-organize my synced images. All fo my main work is usually done in LRC. I only want images in LR that are in collections I am working on remotely or sharing with other people. I also have photos taken on my iphone using the LR camera app. I want to be sure they are in LRC before...
I've put together a large project shot over two days. I have a collection set called Show 2021 and under that collections based on two cameras (they have different lenses - I'm OK with this).
When I was going through images from the Show 2021 collection set (selected the folder), I wanted to...
