    Lightroom Portfolio Title Caption Alt Text

    @prbimages As I posted above for @Gnits I think you want a lot more control than Portfolio and other Adobe tools offer. Take a look at some the skins here: https://jalbum.net/en/skins/new If you do not like a specific skin, you can edit most of them. Or you can build your own. I used to use...

    Lightroom Portfolio Title Caption Alt Text

    @Gnits When I used to publish on an online album for family and friends; I used JAlbum. The tool can generate a static website, or push to their hosting service... They have very extensive templates and tools, most of which you can tweak customize in all sorts of ways. JAlbum can handle all...

    Lightroom Portfolio Title Caption Alt Text

    I am missing how lack of internet access on a trip affects use of Lr cloud? I have gone weeks while traveling loading images on phone and laptop. All synced just fine when I managed to get a connection again. You do lose some functionality disconnected. But when traveling, I do not care much...

    Process to move from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom (cloud)

    I had OneDrive set to keep everything local on the desktop where I ran the migration tool. So, no issues on the migration related to OneDrive. I had lots of issues related to my own meta-data management, and trying to figure out how I was going to manage images in the cloud. I was using John...

    Process to move from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom (cloud)

    @Alex Mac I made that jump a couple years ago. LrC on OneDrive shared between desktop and laptop. Jumped to the cloud, now I work on multiple devices without caring very much about sync status. Makes life much easier. I even reduced my OneDrive storage to back under a 1TB. Ended up saving me a...

    Process to move from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom (cloud)

    I used OneDrive, Google Drive and many others for almost a decade with Classic just fine. There are a few things to pay attention too. 1. All of them have an option to keep files local. Make sure this is enabled for any folder which contains the catalog/previews... plus the images. How this is...

    Process to move from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom (cloud)

    @Victoria Bampton I just read the migration blog. A few comments. 1. I have a dark theme enabled, the comment section text is completely washed out with color and background being the same. 2. Either an additional blog entry of section on what is easier to fix in Classic before migrating...

    Appointing Raw images to folders/Albums when importing from camera card

    If you have a specific album open when you import, LrD imports to that album. I only shoot raw, so I cannot answer the raw+jpeg question. File upload speed is dependent on local computer performance, internet performance and Adobe's servers. Be aware many ISPs advertise download speed, and...

    Upgrading from LR 6 to?

    I would go online. Staples, Amazon, whatever. There are multiple versions, available with different conditions, e.g. student, home, professional... Tim

    Using a Touchscreen Laptop or Tablet with Lightroom Mobile, Web or Desktop

    @DaveKlassen Much easier flow. But my flow is designed around not being able to finish in a single session. I like the cloud focus ecosystem. I can switch between my laptop and desktop, or even my phone (I do not edit on my phone, I mostly use it to share images with people on the fly). Tim

    Using a Touchscreen Laptop or Tablet with Lightroom Mobile, Web or Desktop

    To de-select, ctl-D. I use @Victoria Bampton Lr book as a reference for a lot of short cuts and how to do things. Very much worth while for me. I do not use Google Photo's so I am no help there. If you post your current process, I might have some ideas. Evaluating Google Photos is actually on...

    Upgrading from LR 6 to?

    Microsoft still sells a licensed copy. They still sell licensed copies without a subscription. Tim

    Please help with the first step of the culling process using the latest version of the Lightroom cloud ecosystem.

    @jim.mccain Assumptions: Easier to rename albums than move images between albums Unless it is a very small number of images, I will not finish in a single session Import more often rather than large groups. If I get a large group, break it down to smaller albums where possible My keywords and...

    Please help with the first step of the culling process using the latest version of the Lightroom cloud ecosystem.

    Why do you capture the JPEG? What value does it have? I have not included the local feature of Lr; because even my culling is done on multiple devices and I want a "backup" of the images. I have the same camera, and except for portraits (which I think of formal staging), I do family photos. I...
