Welcome to the Lightroom Queen Forums! We're a friendly bunch, so please feel free to register and join in the conversation. If you're not familiar with forums, you'll find step by step instructions on how to post your first thread under Help at the bottom of the page. You're also welcome to download our free Lightroom Quick Start eBooks and explore our other FAQ resources.
Please use proper screenshots (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh26782/). If the exclamation mark goes away after a while, then it seems your disk is extremely slow so it takes Lightroom a long time to access it. That could mean that it is about to fail completely, which might...
Yes, the temp DNG files are not added to the catalog and are cleaned up, but maybe that was different in the past and you needed Lightroom to create them.
That sounds as if Helicon does clutter your catalog with intermediate files, but it doesn't. I never tried Zerene, but what I like about Helicon is that it can create a focus stacked DNG, that behaves like a raw file in the same manner as Lightroom's panorama, HDR and AI Denoise DNG's do. I'm...
Is your Documents folder shared with iCloud? That could be a problem, because Lightroom Classic does not work well with iCloud sharing. My suggestion would be to store the folder inside your Pictures folder. After all, these are pictures…
The difference you saw is in the view settings. Click on the plus icon. There you can set how you want to view the folders: as a folder only, or as its path. Choose to see the folder only, that gives you the option (you may now have to unhide the parent folder) to see the hierarchy in a Classic...
Yes, it could be that you saw tutorials made with a Mac, or perhaps an older version of Windows. On a Mac, you fill in the name of the catalog folder at the top of the dialog, and that will be the name of the catalog file too. This dialog shows the possibility of entering a folder name at the...
To answer the second question first: yes, you can move these images just like any other images. Then the first question: By default these images are stored in a rather obscure file inside your catalog folder, called ‘Mobile Downloads.lrdata’. You can change this in Preferences - Lightroom Sync...
A ‘Save’ dialog has a place to enter a (new) name. The button still is ‘Save’. At the top you give the new catalog folder a name (export as catalog always saves a new catalog folder, not just a new catalog file), which will also be the name of the catalog file that is created inside that new...
Where do you not see it? You will only see it in the Lightroom Classic folder panel if there is at least one photo on that disk that is imported in the catalog. If you do not see it as source in the import dialog, then there is something wrong with permissions.
I don't know exactly what it uses to check. It definitely checks the name, but I think it checks both the current file name and the original file name. If you try to import an image while there is a renamed duplicate in the catalog, then 'Dont import suspected duplicates' does hide that image (I...
Synchronize Folder imports images by adding them to the catalog only, it will not move or copy them like a normal import can do. That means it is logical that images in that folder that are already imported will not be imported again, even if you uncheck that option. After all, you can't have...
Texture -100 is a kind of blur, so that mixes adjacent colors. I think this is an image that will show this well, because the adjacent colors are so different.
Is it possible that you now have imported duplicates? The way I understand it is that initially, ‘Synchronize Folder’ only checks the actual contents of the folder with what Lightroom knows about this content. So if there are some images in that folder that are not in this folder in the catalog...
There is nothing to process. What should happen is that the photo is now linked again, so the exclamation mark disappears. That’s all. You can relink folders and an entire folder hierarchy, so that is the way to try to do this, not image by image. Look in the folder panel what hierarchy...
