I want to ensure my “archive” path is appropriate/valid and what I have learned with what I assume is all correct. Would love feedback on this. Below I run through a quick view of what workflow which leads to my question (labeled: Question). I am writing to ask if my assumptions are correct...
As I get closer to retiring, I'm trying to clean up all the different subscriptions and apps I've been using over the year. Way back when, I moved from Apple Aperture to LRC and still twitch with pain when I think about all the metadata I lost. I've got 65k photos (400Gb) or more over the years...
Hello,
I'm really not sure if this should be in the LS Classic sub-forum as it is involved in the process, not to mention that perhaps there is a way to achieve what I am looking for in LS, however, it seems to me that PS can probably do it faster, it's just a matter of finding the right...
. I typically edit for other photographers using a catolog and smart preview workflow in lightroom classic. I just got a request from a photographer who uses cc If I can edit for them. Is there any sort of workflow to edit in classic and then send it back up to cc .
Hello all,
I am trying to maximize my efficiency in LR, and one of my biggest hurdles is color matching. I mostly do restoration of printed material, and oftentimes a photo on one page may differ from one on another page, or worse, the colors in one half of a photo on the left-hand side will...
I finally decided to digitize my fathers slide collection (40 kodak Carousels). I'm using an Epson Perfection 2400 photo with a 4 slide tray. Epson's software works on Windows XP so I created a Virtual Machine with XP got the scanner working. The slides are scanned at 2400 DPI TIFFs. I use a...
I have a Mini and a MBP running Monterey = my main LRC is [now] on an External HD and all the pics from the MBP have been moved there == so I created a new LRC for the MBP since I do tend to use it for some importing - I am now importing pics that Avalanche has converted from Aplibraries into...
I recently posted this question on the Adobe Community LR forum, but no replies, so I am hoping that I might get advice here from those who have been down this road already.
I need to replace my 10 year old Surface Pro 3 for Lightroom use when away. It was fine with my Canon 6D and 7D2 up to a...
The new Lightroom denoise function is quite good and I plan to use it when all that is needed is eliminating noise. But I often want to eliminate noise and sharpen (and maybe upsize the image). For those tasks I use Topaz Photo AI. But when in the process is 'right' for that step?
I know I...
I am trying to discipline myself to use only LRC and not go the easy route and just import into Aperture on my Mojave Macs. But as I have been busy I haven't really done much and while I have an LRC catalog and collection of images we are not talking about too many [maybe 2000] nor that have...
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...
I wonder if I do it right...(and already know there must be a better path...) ;)
I work with one big catalog.
My catalog setting is set to "Automatically write changes into XMP" (I shoot mainly Fuji RAF & Leica DNG).
Catalog on external HD#1, Raw files present in my catalog are on HD#2.
HD#1...
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...
I have used Apple's Aperture since it first came out and am now trying to transition to using Lightroom Classic. I've read the ebook and been trying to understand and move forward but am having a bit of trouble adjusting. First, I gather that there is no list view, unlike Aperture. That...
As I see it, there are two basic options if I want to use Lightroom Classic with both a desktop and a laptop:
I would have a master catalog on the desktop where all of my images reside, and a secondary (or "temporary") catalog on the laptop for use when I am away from the desktop. If I import...
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...
I've been reading tons of information and "I think" i have my head wrapped around this somewhat, but please correct me if I am wrong.
I have a MacBook pro with LR Classic, iPhone and iPad Pro with LR. I plan to use a card reader with my iPad pro and put my images into the system that way. I...
There's already a thread for this but it seems to be discussing the Topaz noise reduction software used as a plug-in rather than as a stand-alone product.
Am I right, though, in thinking that use of the Topaz products as plug-ins to LR means that any original RAW file must be exported as a...
I'm a professional photographer using LR-Classic. I need the flexibility of the desktop based solution rather than LR-CC as I can customize for my specific needs (ability to rename files on import, storage on fast local RAID, advanced developing and printing, etc.).
However I would love to be...
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...
I've started working with a retoucher to edit a moderate volume of photos every day. So far I've been uploading the photos to Dropbox. She downloads them, retouches in Lighroom, and uploads them back to Dropbox.
The process is slow (since I'm sending GBs of RAW files) and if I need to make...
Hi there !
I have just sold my Windows Surface, and replaced it with an iPad Pro 11" 2020 512Gb. Now I'm struggeling with it, trying to find an "acceptable" workflow on the go.
I have some special needs, as I often work abroad, shooting MANY photos every day. I think I found a good worflow for...
hi everyone,
As a long-timer Lightroom 6 user, I am trying to get a sense of whether i can satisfy all my needs with/within the Adobe software for photographers.
The Adobe online help articles didn't... help me do so. They are topic-specific and i feel, fail to explain the big picture well.
I...
I know this is going to stir a pot with people and you're always going to get people doing things massively differently. I think this is a question where the pros might have to take a back seat on. This is more a hobbyist approach than pro.
So basically in a time where cloud sync is a reality...
Let's say you are traveling and take 25 photos (just for example, there will be more of course). And you 'import" 10 of them onto your iPad or MacBook Pro via Lightroom CC at the hotel. They sync to the cloud, then download to Lightroom Classic (home based).
Now, you get home and want to...
