    Identifying whether or not photos have smart previews

    I had to restore from a backup awhile back and while I seem to have everything, I'd like to be able to look at a folder of images and identify whether or not they have Smart Previews or indeed, if they have any previews at all. I seem to remember that in the past there was an indicator visible...

    Family of Products

    Hi there, I am continually plagued by the incompatibility of Lightroom and Photoshop. When I start in Lightroom with JPG images and edit them in Photoshop, I want the edited images back in Lightroom as JPG's. The problem is there 2 ways to do that and none of them have any respect for the person...

    Unchanged images showing up for republication

    Here's an example of the last history on this image # JJL_W&R F60-230.jpg Here it is marked for re-publication, along with 2 others the same thing is happening with: Now, in all 3 cases the client had requested minor changes, so I did flip the images into Photoshop, where I made the changes...

    Updates from the Department of Redundancy Department

    Over the past week Creative Cloud informed of updates available to Lightroom Classic, Photoshop and Photoshop Beta. I have a mailing label stuck to the surface of my laptop, and on it I list all these programs and the versions I have (version numbers in pencil), so I know what I have. All the...

    Publish Service from Smart Collection?

    Hi there, I just did a wedding and now have the images in LR and I've done edits sufficient for thumb driving for the couple. After that I'll start on their album. What I envision doing is making a smart collection of all the 3+ rated images to put on their thumb drive, but also be able to use...

    Lightroom not showing up in Task Manager

    There was a process running that I was keeping an eye on due to my unfamiliarity with it. ChatGPT gave me the info I needed on it, but in taking another look at Task Manager I see that even though Lightroom Classic is running and has been for the last hour, it doesn't show up: When I expand...

    Talk about confusing!

    I installed the update for PS Beta today. After doing so files would not open in it at all, and the option to open with regular Photoshop disappeared. Yesterday 20230727, an Adobe rep was on my system to correct problems I was having with Photoshop Beta not opening from Lightroom correctly...

    Can LR Library Module default to a specified Metadata preset?

    Hi there, Wondering if there is any way to have a metadata preset arrangement come up by default. I like to use this one that I made a preset for: But after closing that panel to make screen room, it always opens back up at the default, so the one wanted has to be selected from the list. I'd...

    Lr Classic 12.4 missing lens profiles

    Hi there, Just shot a wedding yesterday using a D800, with many photos taken using a Nikon 24-120 f4 lens. I have a preset that automatically applies upright and lens corrections, but it doesn't seem to be working on those images, so I started checking them and found the lens profile for that...

    Creating a keyword set in advance

    I have some projects coming wherein the customer uses a set of keywords they want me to use on the photos as well. I'd like to be able to subset my keywords to just those that customer wants used. Can someone suggest how to create a keyword set in advance, populated with only the keywords I...

    Hi there, In the Export module one can use {Custom Text)-{Sequence # (1)>>}0 (the >> is actually a symbol with 2 right pointing arrows, but I can't get it to type using any combination of keys on my keyboard. Anyway, in the Export Module that names the files Custom Text-10, Custom Text-20, etc...

    LR not letting me import the same image in a different folder

    I have always done this on the fly after the event but I thought having a template I could pull right into LR would save time and keep me organized, so in preparation for a wedding shoot, I made a folder template, with sub-folders using Windows Explorer. There are folders for Raw Images...

    Filtering and rating

    Hi there, Just going through a wedding shot a year ago. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that previously, if I filtered the folder to show only those photos rated 3 stars or higher, only those would show, and that still works fine and then if I selected "Filters Off", all photos would again...

    Finding people Won't Stop

    My bad! I'm in Grid View on a whole year's worth of photos ...and I was "P" picking those I wanted to keyword with "Portrait", since I had missed some. I must have hit the "O" key (which of course is right next to the "P" key and that started the program finding faces in the filmstrip. There are...

    Topaz programs stopped working

    I've been using Photo Ai, but in the past hour, the plugin has stopped working properly from within Lightroom. It started after I tried editing a raw file, following the instructions that come up when one is opened in Photo Ai suggesting one use the "File/Plug-in Extras/Process with Topaz Photo...

    Skin Grain

    Hi there and Season's Best to all! Just wondering if anyone has a technique for this. I recently shot a group of middle + age ladies at their annual meeting.

    Latest PS corrupted external editing preset preset

    Hi there, I can't find the thread I had on this previously, but one of our GURUs had provided instruction on how to set up an editing preset to send a photo to Photoshop for editing as a JPEG so that when Ctrl-S was pressed it would save the file and it WOULD SHOW UP BACK IN LIGHTROOM. I made...

    Synchronize Settings seems wrong

    Normally when synchronizing settings there is an Auto Settings box to check. Suddenly in 12.0.1 that option is missing: How do we now apply the WB Auto and Tone Auto and Upright Auto to multiple photos at once? Just to add to this, I selected the first photo , clicked Auto WB, Auto Tone and...

    Lightroom Slideshow Pan and Zoom is jerky

    Hi there, Despite my system being adequately spec'd for video, this particularly useful feature in LR Classic, produces jerky pans and zooms. I have the quality set to Hight, but that didn't really improve it much from Standard. Also, it looks like it has been a very long time since Adobe...

    Preference Control for Compare View

    Compare View defaults to showing the modified image on the left and original on the right, and offers the ability to flip them via the arrow below them. Personally, my mind prefers original left and modified right since processing is a progression. Is there any way to set LR so the original is...

    Can't lock zoom in Compare view if images are of different dimensions

    Hi there, Just received 300+ photos to edit. Most are crops so resolutions are low. ENHANCE does a great job of giving me some meat to work with. Next comes the sharpening and noise reduction and I've been flipping the Enhanced DNG's that need that into Topaz Sharpen Ai as JPEGS to do it. Once...
