    Corrupted TIFFs

    Hello, I have a large number of TIFF photos in my photo archive, originating from scanned negatives and slides. Some time ago, I randomly noticed that a few of them had become corrupted (I've attached a few examples converted to JPG). Fortunately, I was able to recover the images from my...

    I have searched Adobe and the web and cannot find a detailed explanation of the preset xmp file parameters. Some of it is obvious and I am trying edits and reinstalling a test preset to see what is happening with the changes. But does anyone have in depth documentation of the preset...

    Catalogs SOS–recovery

    Hoping for a miracle...that possibly someone else has run into this random issue. I have been working on a fresh catalog for a wedding since yesterday, and to my knowledge, everything saves and backs up like normal. I have been a professional editor for 20 years and using LR since it came out. I...

    Exporting face metadata

    Hi I migrated all my photos to Lightroom some months ago, and one of the main reasons were both automatic face tagging, and keeping metadata under my control (not in any proprietary cloud). My assumption was that Lightroom wrote any metadata (ratings, tags, etc.) to files, so if I exported a...

    Library module Ready to give up on XMP files

    Since 13.3 or so, "Writing to XMP" has taken over LrC and my workflow. Not counting the initial import, every pasting/syncing of settings to multiple photos triggers "Writing to XMP" on so many files. Writing to XMP takes over CPU, and LrC becomes unresponsive to unusable. Hovering over the...

    Library module Lightroom Metadada bug?

    For years, I have been using Lightroom, among other things, to add data to my photos, such as title, description, and keywords. I have always been careful to have the option "Automatically write changes into XMP" on "catalog settings". But now, when I edit some photos and after adding some data...

    Mac OS - Sonoma 14.0 LRc - 12.4 Just moved all my photo's to NAS (Synology 1621) , LRc catalog is on the local Mac drive. Everything seems to be operating as expected, other than the metadata warnings. The metadata status shows "changed on disk". All I do is edit in the develop module and...

    xmp file converter

    I am trying to import raw photos from LR into XnView. Unfortunately the xmp file format isn't recognized by XnView. Changes to the xmp file within DxO cause a complete rewrite of the xmp file which is acceptable to XnView. xmp files from LR and DxO are completely different - not only minor...

    Hi I have posted this already in Adobe's Forum, but not sure if I will get some good input. More active here. Does anybody knows a software, plugin, script or action to convert meta data (IPTC / Geo data) presets from Lightroom Classic (.lrtemplate) to meta data presets for Bridge/Photoshop...

    Local copies but no adjustments locally.

    I alternate between using LR Cloud on a Windows desktop PC and an iPad and this works pretty well, except when I try to view at 100% when things are pixelated for a minute or so (and I can't work out how to get to exact 100% view on an iPad). It makes it impossible to check sharpness while this...

    Always save XMP as side car?

    On a related note... my LR currently updates files like DNG, JPG, TIFF when I save the XMP. I don't do this often but it's painful to save a 200M tif just for the little xmp data. Can I get LR to always make a side car?

    Change in when XMP's get created in LrC 11

    I've always had XMP writing enabled. I (thought) when I loaded my NEF files, I always saw XMP files created during Import. Checking a recent backup, I noticed only those photo's I'd made a change in Develop to had XMP's. As a test, I found a NEF without a XMP, made a simple Develop change, and...

    Can you move XMP files

    I import my RAW images into LR using COPY, they go into a 1TB SSD and remain there till either I need to move them due to space or I'm finished editing. When I move them to an external drive where do the XMP files go? O r maybe a better question is where are the XMP files stored on import...

    XMP Presets

    Hi I downloaded a set of presets the other day (from 'Optical Wander'). They are .xmp type files. I have tried to import them within the develop module, in varios ways, having copied them to different folders, and it always comes up with 'The preset file was the wrong type of preset' I use LR6...

    Lightroom SQLite database binary XMP format

    Lightroom catalog is a SQLite database. Some of the metadata values are stored under Adobe_AdditionalMetadata.XMP column which is a BLOB data type. When I save this blob, it is some binary file that I have no idea how to convert to/from an editable form. According to the documentation, xmp...

    “Erase” brush is actually a normal brush with "Density" set to zero!

    This is not a question but a “For Your Information” post based on my latest experience (and previous ignorance) on how the Local Adjustments are rendered in Lightroom. Since Lightroom is a parametric editor, the more detailed the Local Adjustments are, especially with multiple and intricate...

    Question about XMP files

    Hi, I hope you are all doing fine! I have a question which bothers me. I am using 2 separate external discs, one for working (A) and another one which is a backup (B). A and B are strictly identical, they have the same name, the same folders and files. Whenever I plug A or B, my LR catalog...

    Missing Lightroom Edits

    I've been going through all my Lightroom images to select work for a new website. I came across some older images (from 2016 and 2017) where the edits have disappeared. The RAW files are there but when I go into the Develop module all the sliders are set to zero and there are no edits...

    Should changes to RAW files update the XMP file's timestamp?

    I processed a bunch of NEF files in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC (v8.2 - Feb 2019 version) on my Win10 PC, and worked up some proofs for a client on 15 Feb. All of the NEFs were duly given their corresponding XMP file, but they’re all dated 15 Feb despite the fact that I’ve made changes to many...

    Missing DNGs XMPs Remain

    I sincerely hope someone here can help. I'm lost. I have just discovered on recovering several folders from backup that there are several with no DNGs, some with only XMPs and some with only JPGs. I'm here because LIghtroom was having conversion issues at one point, wouldn't convert on import...
