    Spring loaded folders

    I'm primarily a Lightroom Classic user, but I sync to Lightroom in the cloud for mobile editing (and because the video editing tools are much better). When dragging photos or albums to folders in the desktop app, I find that the spring-loaded folders are twitchy—if I pause for a half or quarter...

    Mixed up smart Previews From Previous Catalogs in the "From Lightroom" section and Online

    My issue is very frustrating. I like to have an LRC catalog for every year. Each year I stop the sync of the old one and sync the new one. I understand that shared collections from the previous year will be downloaded from the cloud into the "From Lightroom" collection set in LRC and are also...

    It's new iPhone time and I have migrated to a new phone. My usual workflow is to auto import photos I take with the iPhone camera that go to the camera roll into Lightroom Mobile. There is an "Auto Add From Device Photos" toggle to do this in the app. I noticed that on the new phone, it...

    Hi, With any photo in your LR Classic catalog, which has arrived via the cloud, you can use the "Remove from All Synced Photographs" option to remove the photo from the cloud but still retained the file in your local catalog. How to do this with video files? I note that the video files that...

    Lightroom is behaving badly

    Boy, LR its just behaving badly right now. I imported images today, and had the "eject disk after import" checkbox checked. After the import, I look at Finder, and the disk is still there. If I try to eject the disk from the Finder, both Finder and Lightroom give me spinning beach balls. I have...

    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...

    For some unknown reason Lightroom 6 froze on me while I was about to import some images from my camera and I had to end task (Windows 10 Pro) to come out of it.

    Greetings. I am a long time photographer, but new to book printing. I spent some time learning the basics of the layout options, and they seem great. My problem is that this “module” seems to really only work well if you chose to print with a single printer (Blurb). I Have nothing against...

    Lightroom Collection in Lightroom Classic

    Hello, I have been using cloud-based Lightroom. I am now thinking that I prefer LIghtroom Classic and find it more useful for my needs. When I open Lightroom Classic, all of the photos that I have already uploaded in desktop-based Lightroom appear as a Collection Set headed "From LIghtroom."...

    Printing contact sheets that include the IPTC data "Person Shown", "Event" and "Additional Info"

    I used Lightroom to add Metadata info to some old family photos. So the info I added to the metadata was mostly in the IPTC area. It included the file name, people shown in the photo, additional info, the event (if there was one) and the locations. I found a You Tube video that was excellent in...

    Hello, I'm struggling a little bit here. I am making mobile Lightroom Presets with WB values INCLUDED in the preset, but when I save this to DNG it and apply it to a raw file, the white balance value is not the same as what I have saved, it differs on each image. I imagine it's something to do...
