    Adobe Application Manager has not been my friend (and solution)

    I run LR6 (6.14) and get along just fine. However, I wanted to install a different Adobe product on trial (nothing to do with LR) and that is where it all went wrong. The product installer (latest, off Adobe website) helpfully told me that my OS was far too old and that it would have to...

    Detecting bit rot experiments and jottings

    I've been doing some experiments on detecting bit rot. One problem with a backup is knowing when it is needed. For archival photographic images and data, this is effectively an open-ended time period. So, some kind of consistency checker might be useful. This requirement is different from...

    W10 search seems endless for LR export folder

    A recent W10 update seems to have caused some bug in the automatic Windows indexing of my LR export folders (which are usually jpegs). The green progress bar slowly advances across the top of the window doing some kind of something, and on reaching the end it sits there. There is no...

    Using metadata/XMP files - where did I go wrong?

    I must be doing something really obvious wrong, but I can't see it for looking. LR6.14, Windows 10. I wanted to save the develop history of an image in an XMP sidecar, so exported the metadata (in develop, and yes an xmp sidecar was created next to the source raw file). As this was an...

    AMD 2nd gen Ryzen threadripper 2990WX (and 2950X)

    Has anyone tried the new AMD threadripper chips with LR? As the 2990 presents 32 threads (and the 2950 16 threads) with sophisticated automatic significant over-clocking (given water cooling), these new chips look like they could offer serious advantages in bulk processing raw images, unless...

    LR6 Applying auto-tone to more than one image at a time

    'Evening all LR6.14 Is it possible to apply the auto-tone command to more than one image at a time and if so how is it done? My workflow precludes applying it through a develop preset at import. I have tried auto-sync, but that doesn't work either. TIA

    Using the DNG Profile editor at high ISOs (or not)

    'Morning all Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to use Adobe's profile editor at high ISOs? I am finding that the noise level causes the auto feature (chart tab) to fail, it comes up and tells me that my grey isn't grey enough. If I move the four targets around slightly I can...

    LR 5.7.1 Blocky image at 'fill' in Library but not Develop or other magnifications

    I have an image that stubbornly displays as a blocky, ultra low resolution image when in 'fill' scale, but only in Library module. In Develop the image jumps to a correct resolution display. Selecting 1:1, or any of the other scales is just fine. Clearing all caches, restarting LR etc. etc...

    Practical image size limits

    1/ Does anyone know the practical image size limits in LR5? I have LR5 and opened an image of around 3G pixels. Apart from LR having weird display problems prior to the actual import process, once loaded LR ran fine, it was fast and responsive, using around 3.5GB RAM. However, it was not...

    Import Metadata to Catalogue LR5

    Apologies if this is already covered, but after a searching I haven't found it. I have around 250 developed images in another catalogue on another PC. My main catalogue already has all those images imported into it as these 250 are a small subset of a much larger shoot. I have exported the...

    Export to jpeg, what date/time does 5.7.1 use?

    I have noticed that LR5.7.1 uses two different times for the image creation time, with a difference of 11 seconds depending which EXIF block it is in. The source (original) files have the exact same times everywhere (which are correct), so for some reason LR is adding 11 seconds (younger) to...

    How to crop to a given aspect ratio

    Hello Search as I can, in Develop, I can't find a way of seeing the crop data I need. Using 5.7.1, I want a group of photos to have the exact same aspect ratio crop. This ratio is not the original image ratio, nor is the size of the crop the same for each image, but the resulting aspect ratio...

    USB and W10 (and a solution)

    Apologies if this is in the wrong place. A little while back (eight months ago say), W10 did an update that stopped my USB3 card reader from working smoothly. After much to-ing and fro-ing with the card reader vendor I gave up and bought a new USB3 card reader. So far so good. It just so...
