    Exporting collection as catalog and importing it back to main catalog when back home.

    I work on a big large catalog that contains all my archives. It stays on a SSD drive that I plug to iMac or Macbook depending where I am. The latest raw files are on the SSD, all archive RAWs are on separate hard drives that I do not carry with me. I worked few weeks back on a subject (and...

    Replace RAW or PSD files in Lightroom with JPEG copies

    Years ago, I made many simple photo adjustments using Photoshop. Now I want to replace most of the old PSD files with JPEG copies, because those old PSD files waste a lot of space and really have no useful information. However, I want to retain all the information associated with the original...

    Cloud : sync RAW files and edits from Macbook (Lr Classic) to iMac (Lr Classic) ?

    Hello, I travel with my Macbook running Lr Classic on which I store and edit my pictures while I'm away from home. Is it possible to sync my RAW files and edits on the cloud from my laptop so that when I get back home it's all automatically available on my iMac ? Not only the smart previews ...

    Needing to preserve edits of DNG files for Laser Scans and have a deadline by next week, any help would be useful, thanks!

    This problem is quite complicated and probably going to require some deep thinking, but nevertheless, here we go! Essentially, I have a collection of .dng files from 4 firefly cameras that are used in combination to create a stitched 360 image. These 360 images (also known as panos) will be...

    iPhone 13 RAW images extremely dark when merged to {Pano

    I'm trying to update my workflow to accommodate iPhone 13 Pro Max raw images, moving them 'automagically' from iPhone to LRClassic. That all seems to work and the initial images look fine. The first thing I did was a photo merge to pano and the normal looking dng images merged fine, but the...

    Full res RAWs in cloud with Lightroom Classic with only 20Gb....

    Let me explain my problem quickly. I have the 20Gb Lightroom Classic plan and I'm more than happy with the fact that I get only 'light' previews in the cloud for using with my iPad or iPhone. Now when I travel, I take only my iPad to transfer photos to, and of course, the full res RAWs will be...

    Travelling - catalogue and originals (RAW) - how to manage it?

    Hi everyone, could somebody tell to me how to correctly manage the catalogue and originals (RAW's), when I have both on the external HDD WD Elements (now 4 TB, before 2 TB) and backuped by Amazon Drive for Premium. But now I have a new NTB (Dell Inspirion 14 7000) and would like to correctly...

    RAW files imported in Classic, edited in mobile not synching back to Classic?

    Hello Lightroom Hive, I have a fairly developed, if painful, workflow that involves mostly Lightroom Classic and the mobile app on iPad Pro. I import JPEGs and RAW into Classic, add them to a synched collection, they eventually show up in the iPad where I cull and process them mainly for speed...

    Recent weirdness: Jpegs are importing with Raws, despite unchecking: Treat Jpegs and Raws as separate

    I shoot Raw+Jpeg but exclusively use Raw files. Recently with my Fuji cameras (Xpro2 & GFX50R) the Jpegs are importing and are viewable in Lightroom despite the LR preference, 'Treat Jpeg files next to raw files as separate photos' being unchecked. And to clarify why I shoot Jpeg & Raw: it is so...

    iPhone 12 & Apple ProRaw

    A question about raw photos on phone cameras and how this bears on the choice between an iPhone 11pro and 12pro. My wife has a better eye than I, irritatingly, but whereas I use an SLR she uses her iPhone. We're considering upgrading from her iPhone 6s to either SE, 11pro, or 12pro. The SE...

    RAW file converted to black and white on import without instruction

    Question about Lightroom 5. I've been using this software for some time. It is too old to read the raw files (RAF) from my new Fuji camera so I use the Adobe converter to convert them to DNG and then import them into LR5. Yesterday I shot an event in raw + jpeg. I used the windows 10 photos app...

    Colour Space Questions - Camera RAW and LR Printing

    And yes, the 'U' in colour is the proper way to spell it. ;-) A couple of questions around colour spaces and LR: Does the colour space you set in your camera affect the RAW or just the JPG rendering? I ask because supposedly RAW is undeveloped sensor data and colour space does not seem to...

    Editing in Raw vs TIFF vs DNG- impact of external editors

    I have reviewed what I find on forums and also google searches and am not clear on the answer. The question is do you lose anything by editing LR classic in TIFF vs Raw vs DNG. The impact is primarily with the use of external editors. For example if one wants to use Topaz AI Denoise they suggest...

    Smart Previews - to use or not to use?

    For some reason today, the topic has been Smart Previews on all of the videos that I've been watching, and I'm wondering if it's something I should be doing. For reference, I'm using a 2019 Macbook 13" with 250gb of flash memory. Because the storage on this laptop is at a premium, I've chosen...

    Develop module new LR Classic preset is a big failure for me

    Today I updated to 9.2 release. I use for any camera model, more than five and every ISO a own RAW default. Not only changing ISO depended noise reduction but also exposure, contrast, tone curve and more. Anyone have a 'simple' solution to get my defaults back? Current plan is to check every...

    How to share RAW directly from iOS Photos to LR mobile?

    Hello, I had a search and was unable to find any answers to my quandary so am hoping to consult the collective brains here. I’ve even spent a couple hours with Adobe help desk and they were unable to help! I’ve always sent photos FROM my iPhone’s native Photos app to Lightroom mobile: my...

    DNG Previews Not Fully Rendering In Import Window

    This has been happening for quite a while now - 2 years maybe? I shoot RAW on my iPhone 7 and when importing and viewing the thumbnails in any import window, be it Lightroom or Image Capture, the DNG files are not rendering fully which makes it hard to know which files I might have previously...

    Suddenly my DNG files are double their size in LR 6

    Usually my DNG files take or took up around 25 - 30 Mb per shot. Now i discovered that since lately they are all around 50 Mb in size. I think I clicked on the import dialog somewhere wrongly (?) where I was asked to keep original Raw files inside the DNG or not. But for the life of me, I...

    Replicating keywords - master image to jpg derived from Export functionality

    I often have to produce a jpg from a raw file (CR2) and I want to know how I replicate the keywords that are already assigned to the raw file to the jpg file as the jpg is produced from the Export funtionality. I do this so that the jpg will appear in a Collection set together with the raw file.

    Library module DNG+JPEG

    Lightroom shows files names like "P1030088-2.DNG+JPEG" in the corner of a preview thumbnail but in the computer's file system that file is actually "P1030088-2.DNG". There are also cases where Lightroom reports a file of "P1040011.dng" and in the computer's files system it shows the same name...

    On the go workflow

    I wanted to give LRCC a try on a project I'm working on, and I'd love to hear some feedback from people who've used both CC and Classic CC. I typically work on a single device, a Surface Book 2, and I initially transfer my RAW files to an external drive (via LR Classic import) and build both 1:1...

    Should I DNG?

    My camera shoots RW2, and I'm wondering if I should convert to DNG or not. I haven't so far, assuming any conversion has some kind of loss to it, but stumbled upon an article recommending converting from proprietary camera raw to dng systematically. What are your thoughts on this, kind forum...
