    LR Library Previews Display Issue

    Hi everyone. I have been having an issue for a few months and would love to get it resolved. I often shoot in DNG + JPG (B&W) mode with my camera. After import, all of the image previews in the Library display as B&W. They are being handled as separate files so I have one ABC.DNG file and...

    How do I get small buttons/icons back in Library mode?

    Okay, this is annoying...and no doubt there is a simple answer I cannot figure out. After all, I've only been using LR for, what, about 10 years? Anyway, here's the situation. In the Library module, I no longer see what has been there until this afternoon - the 5 little icons for...

    Lightroom 6.14 - Synchronize Folder Aborting "Lightroom has stopped working"

    I am getting this error now very consistently on my established folders and also when I try to import new 'camera roll' photos. I have optimized my library a few times thinking this might 'fix' whatever database or metadata issue it is stumbling upon? Very troubling. I have about 90,000...

    Switch to Library - Default to Grid View

    Hi, When switching from develop back to the Library view, is there a way to make it default to GRID instead of Loupe view? It always shows the photo I was editing in the develop module but I'd prefer it to default to Grid view when I switch back to the library. Thanks!

    Library module Lightroom "knows" a folder exists but does not show it in catalog

    I am tidying up my Lightroom catalog (on Mac), which has ended up being in two parts. I try to move a whole day's worth of photos at a time. One problem I have is that when I try to move some files, I get a message that the folder for that date already exists in the part of the catalog I'm...

    Workflow from iOS: Capturing Apple keywords

    Hi folks, I am working my way through a back catalog of 150k (very amateur) photos taken over the last 20 years or so. I have a workflow and a system in place by which I star-rate them (1=delete, 2=archive, 3=keep, 4=share, 5=showcase) in offline LRC (on PC). This works great for photos taken...

    Tell me if any of you know a shortcut to accomplish this common task: In LR Classic's library module, I'm viewing the contents of a folder or collection that contains hundreds of images in grid mode. I click on one to select it. I scroll through more images and decide I want to go back to the...

    Managing Apple Photos + Lightroom Mobile

    Greetings. I am wondering how people manage both the Apple Photos library and the Lightroom Mobile library on the iPhone. I have Lightroom set to automatically import from Apple Photos, but it leaves a copy in Photos so I have redundant copies. I don’t see a way to make it delete from the...

    How can I include iCloud photos in library without duplicating them?

    Hi, I am using LR Classic on a PC, and I have a folder in Pictures that syncs with iCloud. I would like to include those photos in my LR catalogue. However, I don't see a way of using auto-import without copying the photos into a separate folder. How can I include them in the catalog and keep...

    Identify photos in folders but NOT in Lr?

    I'm doing some housekeeping and wanting to trim fat from my Lr catalog prior to saving it to a separate, external HDD. My extensive catalog has many files peppered throughout 5-6 folders. Only about half of the total files in my folders are being used by Lr. Is there a way to easily identify...

    Library module Reset target of set of smart collections.

    Hi outthere, In the library module I have a set of smart collections, based on ISO values. During the construction of the set I had selected 'All photographs' as a target folder. The filtering worked fine. But now I want to make another folder as a 'target' of the set. I can not do that. Does...

    Looking for suggestions: best approach using LRCC and /or LRCC Classic to manage current (10GB) and archived (60GB) libraries

    I'm currently trialling the Photography Plan and plan to opt for the 20GB of storage plan. I no longer amass thousands of images per month so in terms of the images I need access to for viewing / editing on a daily basis, my needs are quite modest and 20GB will be more than enough cloud storage...

    Library Module vs Develop Module

    A friend of mine asked me a good question and that is why does his Library module look so much different from his Develop module. I had a look at his modules and the difference was at least 1-1.5 stops Library being darker than develop. I made sure he was using the correct color space for the...

    Hi.... a year in to this wonderful hobby and I have amassed several thousand images, even after significant curation. So I'm wondering - do others use multiple catalogues to help manage their libraries? E.g. one for personal / home, one for other work or events, one for say outdoors / landscape...
