    Lightroom classic CC performace

    I just commented in the 'editing subforum' regarding the slow down that I experienced today. I had not used the range mask feature until today. The slow down and pause took place after using this tool in some image develop routines. There has not been an issue since this version 7 was...

    Hearty V7 Develop Slowdown after Range Mask use

    Watched the Laura Shoe video for new Range Mask Filter and tried the routine in some 'first snowfall photos this morning. First experience of intense slowdown within develop mode in past version and current version 7. I was looking at a blank screen frequently as I changed from one process to...

    Which Lightroom version for me?

    Hal: as to 'not in a rush'....this is true. I had expected the Adobe Lightroom management to continue. I can understand the company being attracted to the concept of being in the 'leading technology pack' and perhaps they have researched the population numbers in urban centres but for everyone...

    HELP! My external drive died! Is there anyway to retrieve my files or previews?

    It has happened that it is the external drive case. I have had occurrence where it appeared that the drive died but the casing was changed and the drive was usable. Of course breaking open the original case means any warranty is lost but my drive was well past warranty limits. I'm still using...

    Which Lightroom version for me?

    My download rate is 5mbps at max -for a few moments....and the upload is rarely above kb rates. Windows Patch Tues and Version upgrades are painful sessions when the download is interrupted or corrupted. There are many internet users outside urban areas who are limited to satellite towers. Rural...

    Backup problems? (Rose Weir thread)

    Hoggy: It was the controller in the circuit board on the back of the hard drive. There was a WD blue 1Tb drive available in the shop so that was the replacement There were two fellows and they were quite taken with the event error of 'surprise removal' but tests were done and he concluded it...

    Backup problems? (Rose Weir thread)

    Thanks for that explanation of 'raids'. The expression had me wonder but then many reports in the event viewer are a source of wonderment. The value in your response is now I have 'terms' to use when I approach a local service tech. I hate arriving with an issue and less than distinct...

    Backup problems? (Rose Weir thread)

    A follow up to this ongoing unsuccessful catalog backup. I did download the config.lua to insert into the Lightroom prog. folder. This did not solve the issue of the backup( integrity, copy, optomize,zip) routine. Still it would go through the whole process and then a message pop up declares...

    Seeking people using LR to maintain a family photo archive

    I just received a request to share images for a club scrapbook project so I had to check out samples from a 10 year time period. Fortunately, I had a main parent keyword (EVENT)with the child keywords within. The club initials were a subkeyword. Within that club keyword are specific keywords...

    Backup problems? (Rose Weir thread)

    Full meaning Integrity,compress etc. Since this latest version I have had the backup take a very long time and finish with the report "Could not save to the drive, try another drive" Then I look in the all drive listings and that drive is gone. Check event viewer and drive 2 has been 'surprise...

    Windows 10 Updates Issues

    Re: your statement that you are considering replacing many components raised the red flag.... Its not bits and pieces - its motherboard/ram/etc so becomes a 'different' machine therefore has to be identified via a MSAccount routine. (skylake i7+6700K + Asus motherboard to replace the AMD) Other...

    Windows 10 Updates Issues

    OH Thank You for this. My original repair person has moved away and I started with another. I assessed that I need to have my words precise and not allow him to presume <grin> I have been 'playing' with a plan of replacing main components which means this desktop will have to go into the MS...

    The Lightroom backup(integrity/optimize included) had run through its complete cycle then a popup reported that the backup was not successful-try another drive. An internal hard drive used for storing the Lightroom backup had a 'surprise removal' event viewer message. This report was preceded by...

    How to export and overwrite?

    There are simple photo viewers such as (Free) Faststone Image Viewer which will display the embedded jpg in a raw file. It is not a large software if your tablet is of limited storage capacity. This software gives you the opportunity to view what you have backed up while on a trip. I view my...

    Storing Catalog on 250 SSD-pros or cons?

    Likely I transposed the Kb to Gb incorrectly. The catalog is listed as 33,320,000 KB using Windows Explorer to view the folder on the hard drive. The preview folder with the catalog has preview.db as 63.71MB Then there is root-pixels.db 160.43Mb. The total for the Preview folders is 17MB I am...

    Lightroom’s Old Import System is Coming Back After Outcry From Photographers

    Change can be acceptable. Loss of confirming detail is not so terrific. I really miss confirmation that my rename template choice is correct. I miss confirmation that I have directed the current import folder to the expected spot. Finally I found where the import presets were listed and could...

    Adobe to restore import dialog!

    One person (Axel) posting on that Import Update blog Oct.17 said; They didn’t say they’ll get rid of the new import experience, just that they’ll restore the old one. As they’ve been very clear that they feel this is a blocking problem for new users.... Restoring or Inserting a view of where...

    Oct CC update-fixes crashes,performances

    I found the 'import preset' BUT I had to redo this import three times until I got it right. My oversight or misread was translating DESTINATION FOLDER. I was selecting the month subfolder within the 2015 year...a NEW month would result -010Oct015... I needed to select the master folder as the...

    Oct CC update-fixes crashes,performances

    Now I'm hesitant to click on this CC Lightroom update. I haven't had crashes or performance issues. I just continue to import to the wrong folders then move them to correct spot after import. I didn't realize how much I depended on that list of destination folders at the bottom of the import...

    what colour is blue

    AND my ongoing 'wish list' is to have an extended trip through Australia but it would have to be in that continent's winter. I couldn't survive in the average heat levels <LOL!> 10c and below is good. The other factor is a polarizing filter. That very deep sample you included can result from...
