    I processed a batch of images in LR 6.14 then exported as TIFFS to a desktop folder. From there I resized down in Photoshop and 'saved as' jpegs, in another desktop folder. The TIFFS are around 6000px long side and they were sized to around 4000px long side. What is the best way to resize...

    Importing RAW + RAW/jpeg

    From a shoot today I did a mixture of RAW and RAW+jpeg. (FineL). After importing from the SD card, where I can see the mixture of shots in camera, including the pegs, I find that only the RAWs have appeared in the catalogue. Guess I must have the wrong import settings. Any thoughts?

    Using a preset on import.

    Haven't much experience of using a preset at the import stage but tried it today and I can't see the effect after import. The sliders are still at zero in the Develop module. Is that normal? Perhaps someone can point me to a tutorial on this.

    Sharpening X-Trans files in LR

    Having recently bought a Fujifilm X-T20 camera and just seen an article about sharpening I wonder if changes in sharpening settings are needed for Raw files? I note the article is dated 2014 and mentions version 5 of LR so perhaps is no longer applicable. See: SHARPENING X-TRANS FILES IN...

    Sending a batch of developed thumbnails via email

    Have developed a batch of 40 images which I would like a friend to view and select which ones are preferred. Wondering if I should export and send via email or put them on a web page straight from Lightroom for viewing? If the latter then would that be done via the Web module in LR?

    Getting started with LR mobile on iPad

    On seeing that LR mobile iOS 2.4 has recently arrived I went to the app store for it. I appear to have clicked on a free Adobe trial with 30 days left using iCloud. Have I started up in the wrong way? I just want to know the cost of the app and download it onto my iPad without a subscription.

    How to know when a Develop process is finished

    I am thinking mainly of Noise Reduction which I assume takes quite a time to complete after moving the slider to around 20. I don't see any 'spinning ball' or bar going across to indicate the progress. Is it guesswork?

    Development Definitions

    Can anyone point me to a link which gives brief definitions of Clarity, Vibrance and Luminance? I can see their practical effect in LR v 6.5 and have no problem in using their sliders or precepts but I will be participating in a seminar soon which may include technical questions.

    Recently upgraded to LR6 and find the Graduated Filter in the Development module is 'Rose' colour which makes it impossible to see the effect of adjusting the Exposure slider. Is there a setting which I have missed?

    Text on images via print module?

    is it possible to put text on an image in the print module (or any other module) in LR? I see the file name can be changed at the bottom of the image but I would like to put text directly on some images prior to printing.

    LR opens to full extent of my monitor. i.e. filling it. I can't grab the corners to move them inwards. How is the size reduced please. I can't see any menu at the top to change preferences. Ray
