    CC App "Lightroom classic does not have access to some Standard folders"

    Lightroom Classic LrC Performance Breakthrough Discovery!

    Navigating the Library view just felt a bit sluggish for me today. I restarted LrC, no difference. Restarted my 2020 iMac, no difference. Optimized catalog, no difference. Then I suspected it was lag from my keyboard and sure enough, it was!! I directly connected my bluetooth keyboard to my...

    Mac: Anyone use an M3 iMac with 16/512 for LrC?

    Anyone use an M3 iMac with 16 GB RAM & 512 GB SSD for LrC? If so, do you find performance adequate? I am a hobbyist, not a pro. I am coming from a 27-inch i9 iMac from 2019 with 40 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD -- which I now think is a bit of overkill for what I do, at least back when it was new...

    Yet another question about RAID 1!

    I'm interested in hearing from anyone regularly using RAID 1 as part of their backup/duplication strategy. Disclaimer..I know a bit about the benefits and pitfalls of some RAID arrangements, especially that RAID 1 should not be considered a complete backup system. (Personally, I use JBOD and CCC...

    Mac: After update to Monterey 12.4, photo data no longer shows in Finder

    Using LrC 11.3.1. Before 12.4, in Finder with Column or Gallery view you would see key information about an image e.g. filename, size, colour space and colour profile, dimensions, content create date, create date and modified date and camera . This is so annoying. This was so useful...

    LR 3 Mac Compatibility

    Does anyone know what is the latest version of Mac OSX (or macOS) that LR 3 (more specifically v3.6 for Mac) is compatible with? I know it works on OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite, but does anyone know if it would work on the later versions of OSX or macOS? Thank you.
