    Saturation Doesn't Work Correctly After Tone Curve

    OK, thanks for the help, disappointing but that did make me think about a way to do it. First I tried Virtual Copy but that saved the adjustments rather than the adjusted image. If I export to Photoshop, it will let me either adjust saturation there, which is fine if I want to do it globally, or...

    Saturation Doesn't Work Correctly After Tone Curve

    That does work but the problem is that I don't know how much desaturation I need until after the color correction. I can try the others, but I've always preferred using curves for some adjustments. HSL doesn't do the type of adjustments I'm doing and Color Grading causes the same issue with the...

    Saturation Doesn't Work Correctly After Tone Curve

    Just tried that, happens with every profile in the system. My usual profile is from hardware calibration that I do about once a month. And that this only happens after applying the tone curve should indicate some sort of interaction inside Lightroom rather than my monitor. If I reset the tone...

    Saturation Doesn't Work Correctly After Tone Curve

    I've found that if I use the tone curve, in particular the ones for specific colors, that the saturation doesn't work correctly. I have heavy magenta-tinted photos (from stage lighting), and I remove the tint, but then need to desaturate slightly. However, the saturation slider now only takes...

    LRC Import Problems

    Thanks, I have tried every combination imaginable. I have A to C adapters. I have two readers, both have the plugs with the blue. I have plugged them directly into both the Mini (it's the M1/16gb) and to the hub in my monitor, which is C to A, with identical results. The fact that the photos...

    LRC Import Problems

    I have always use Lightroom to import images directly from a card. I recently switched from an iMac I have used for years to a new Mini. I reinstalled everything, including Lightroom from scratch. When I try to import from a card using a USB 3.1 reader, the image thumbnails render incredibly...

    Bulk Rename and Update Catalog (Mac)

    And what I'm saying is that is how I do store my images. You really want to now answer my question so maybe it would be better not to respond.

    Bulk Rename and Update Catalog (Mac)

    I use collections. I also get a lot of requests for retrieval by date.

    Bulk Rename and Update Catalog (Mac)

    Because it's confusing. 07/09 and 09/07 can mean the same thing depending on where you are. But everything I do other than file structure is in one format. Your answer doesn't particularly help with question I asked.

    Bulk Rename and Update Catalog (Mac)

    I have about 6TB of photos in my catalog across a number of years. I lived in the US for a long time and used a folder structure by date yyyy/mm/dd. These are inside folders by year. I have moved to a country in which a folder structure of yyyy/dd/mm fits better. I find it confusing at this...

    Tools Problem Classic CC

    Thanks for the replies. It turned out it was a hardware problem. I found another trackpad and it worked correctly. Not sure why it was an issue just in LR but it's fine now.

    Tools Problem Classic CC

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, didn't help.

    Tools Problem Classic CC

    My tools (adjustment brush etc) have suddenly lost the ability to have their size controlled by the mouse scroll wheel/trackpad. Instead, it changes the size of the viewed image. I have reset preferences and looked everywhere for a setting that would make the size via mouse/trackpad. When I try...

    Can't Pass Photos to Photoshop

    Thanks Victoria, so far that seems to be working. Although I had updated recently, it appears that not everything was working properly until the reinstall.

    Can't Pass Photos to Photoshop

    I recently installed the latest versions of the CC apps on a computer that had been in transit for a few months (moved from US to Europe). Everything works fine except when I try to open files in Photoshop from Lightroom. Sometimes Photoshop won't open, sometimes Photoshop opens but the photos...

    Can't Switch Modules

    Since the update to "Classic," I've been having occasional problems when in Library and try to switch to Develop. I get an error, the whole LR window goes blank and the only way to fix it is to close LR and re-launch. Is this unique to me or has anyone else run into it? Operating System: Mac...

    Brush/Zoom Behavior

    Oddly, I fixed it partially in a very unnerving way. I hooked up an old PC mouse, used the scroll wheel on the mouse, which worked, and then went back to the trackpad, which then worked correctly. However, the zoom tool still defaults to negative zoom no matter what I do, including using the...

    Brush/Zoom Behavior

    As I mentioned in the original post, I have reset all the preferences. The trackpad works fine except in Lightroom.

    Brush/Zoom Behavior

    Thanks, I did try that and nothing happened, even with a LR restart. And it just suddenly changed, everything worked fine and I didn't touch any settings unless it was some accidental key combination.

    Brush/Zoom Behavior

    Lightroom CC has suddenly begun behaving very oddly. The zoom tool defaults to negative no matter what I do. I switch it to 2:1, for example, and after a couple uses it switches to 1:8. And even worse, when I use the adjustment brush, spreading my fingers on the trackpad now zooms the image...

    Smart Preview Image Deletion

    This worked perfectly and now that I've done it, it's obvious why it works. Thanks!

    Smart Preview Image Deletion

    Thanks, will this save all the work I did on the images that weren't deleted?

    Smart Preview Image Deletion

    I probably made a stupid mistake. I use smart previews because they are faster than using the external drive and usually shut down the drive while working with the smart previews. I was working on a shoot and deleted a number of images but failed to realize that I was not deleting them on the...
