"Error: Writing of 3FR files is not yet supported - /Users/royprasad/Selling/Capture/25-0924 Laowa9mm-0051 (X2D II 100C, Unknown).3FR"   That error is coming from Exiftool, which doesn't support writing into .3fr files.  Reading the release notes, Exiftool's author Phil Harvey is pretty scathing about Hasselblad's firmware programmers: https://exiftool.org/ancient_history.html    "Patched FFF reader to be more tolerant of the mess made by incompetent Hasselblad programmers (wrong IFD count for some values)"   Lenstagger should do a better job of surfacing such errors to the user. By @johnrellis John, this is just priceless!  ... View more

As @JohanElzenga says, the usual reason for Lightroom Classic updates showing less photos is that you've updated a different catalog. The update process shouldn't lose photos as it's updating the schema for the database, not the contents of the database. It's adding references for new features and translating changes from previous feature to the current version. Any issues that may happen would have happened in the 14.0 release and been well settled by now. Also when you do a catalog upgrade, remember to leave Lightroom to run for a while as there's a lot of housekeeping that needs to happen in the background.  ... View more

As @dj_paige suggests, start a new thread to have a full reference and current information. Lightroom will see all previous disks no problem as long as the have the same name or drive letter as it saw previously without need to reimport. But do start a new thread with your system information for OS specific recommendations.  ... View more

Develop, Sync to cloud and Map will stop working. She'll still be able to access her photos and export them. As per this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html      You can continue to access all your photos on your local hard drive through Lightroom for the desktop. You can continue to import and organize photos and output your edited photos through Export, Publish, Print, Web, or Slideshow. Access to the Develop & Map modules and Lightroom for mobile is not available after your membership ends.   The photos synced to the cloud are on the drive still. They're not stored in the cloud, they're just smart preview versions online.  ... View more

As per @dj_paige and @JohanElzenga, sources that match camera cards are not normally useable as drives. The only exception used to be CF Express cards and this may have changed. Personally I think it's a bad idea because they're easy to lose, and if you're using devices that require Micro SD cards (action cams, drone, Pocket 3, Insta360 etc), it's only a matter of time before you grab the wrong card and format in the device to make recording space.  ...

You didn't need to import to Lightroom again,  you just needed to update the folder locations.

I went for some nostaglia with this one.    An elaborately decorated gingerbread house sits on a Christmas table, surround by the traditional far of the season. Christmas crackers are opened nearby with cooked turkey and ham further back on the table. Lights twinkle on the christmas tree in the background. Red candles side beside the house, and a roaring fire is visible off to the right.   Hyperrealistic and Nostalgic as options.  ... View more
