    Exported Jpg a lot more grainy than edited photo in lighroom

    Unwanted and forced CROP after SYNCHRONIZATION from a particular image

    Hi, I am running into a very very strange problem with Lightroom synchronization. When I copy and paste my settings using either "previous" or "synchronize", the candidate image gets cropped. I didn't crop either the select photo nor the candidate. I also didn't select "crop" in synchronization...

    Lightroom catalogue backup vs. XMP files

    Hi, just want to confirm if I understand this correctly - if I back up my Lightroom catalogue every time I exit Lightroom, I won't need to write changes to XMP files? Because Lightroom catalogue backup already contains the same information as XMP would? Which is a better way to go? Use XMP...
