Thank you! I changed the background color to black and text to white. The behavior is the same. It is also the same regardless of colors and fonts, but of course more visible on small text with thin strokes. Here is an example template: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xmmxkvysoognfr4ff52w2/Example-Template.lrtemplate.zip?rlkey=cx5sstxbj92v16bjtjvjr53a3&dl=0

Thank you very much! As mentioned, this has been going on for a long time, probably for several years, across multiple versions of LR. I am now using the latest version, 15.1, together with a brand new 14" 16 GB MacBook Pro M5.

So this apparently only occurs on impromptu slideshows. Is this how they are supposed to work (lower quality than exported slideshows)?

Every time I open a group of profiles in the profile browser, the thumbnails are much smaller than they should be. I prefer to use large thumbnails that should fill the entire width of the side panel. But they only fill about a third of it. I have to select one of the other view modes (Grid or List), and then go back to Large again, then they get the right size. But it's incredibly annoying that this happens every time I open a new group of profiles. It has been like this for a long time, and a new Mac and new updates to Lightroom have not solved the problem. Am I the only one experiencing this?

I am just using the impromptu slideshow, from various (smart) collections. Edit: I just tried to export some slides as a 4K video, and the result was very sharp! But unfortunately this is not the way I usually use the slideshows, it would be too cumbersome and time consuming.

I have exported the template, but I can't find a way to share it here. I have also compressed it to a zip file, but the forum doesn't accept it. Edit: Now it looks like I managed to upload it, but when I try to save the changes, it's gone.

Thanks! Here is a screenshot from LR Slideshow module. I have created several different slideshow templates, here is just one example. The text overlay is crisp and sharp: And here's from the live slideshow. The text quality is clearly much worse. This is particularly noticeable in the smaller text on the second line:

Just upgraded to v. 15.1 and still no improvement. It is very frustrating that the text is not legible unless it is very large and in bold letters. The text has an outline stroke around it that is aligned either on the inside or in the middle around the letters and “eats” into them, making them almost unreadable, especially on thin parts of the letters. The stroke should be aligned on the outside so as not to impair readability. Choosing a different font style (bold, italic, etc.) does not work either; only the standard style is displayed regardless. Sadly, I get the feeling that the Slideshow module is a low-priority part of Lightroom Classic.

OK, thanks! I was just hoping for a simple pipette tool for skin tones in addition to neutral gray. The new tool is of course much more advanced and versatile, but also more difficult to use. But I'll try to get to grips with it.

I have tried to create a slideshow in the Slideshow module, but the quality is very poor. I'm not talking about the images themselves, they look fine, but everything else, such as text and borders, is rendered very poorly. The text is barely legible, even with a fairly large font size, and there are strange lines around the borders that shouldn't be there. I have selected High Quality, but I can't see any difference from Draft or Standard quality. The ready-made templates are no better either. They all look like drafts. Am I the only one experiencing this? I haven't tried exporting the slideshow, but am just showing it directly from Lightroom. I use LR v. 15.0 and a MacBook Pro M5.

Is there any hope to get it to work on the newest MacBook Pro M5 and Tahoe? I got it to work on my previous computer with the the tricks I read in this thread, but not this time. I have opened and closed the Magick file and tried to intall Rosetta, but I'm unsure it runs properly on my Mac.

I have incidentally discovered some very strange behavior when exporting images via a Publish Service. It only happens when the images are located within a folder structure and I select the top folder to update all the subfolders. The Publish Service is set to export a JPG quality of 60%, but only the first exported folder is correct, all subsequent ones are 100%. This can result in files that are many times larger. The problem can easily be avoided by exporting one folder at a time instead of all at once. However, with many folders, this can be quite time-consuming. My old Mac can only run an old version of LR Classic (11.41) and I don't know if the problem still exists in newer versions, but I just wanted to mention it anyway.

My Mac is too old for the latest version of LR (hopefully I'll get a new one soon), but the Adobe Adaptive profile still shows up in my profile browser. I see no noticeable difference when I select it. Am I just seeing the regular Adobe Standard profile?

I would love the option of a white balance eye-dropper tool for skin tones, in addition to the regular one for neutral gray. Capture One has it, and even Apple Photos, so it's almost a bit surprising that Lightroom Classic doesn't.

Is this a first step to making LR Classic able to store original files in the cloud (which would have been a dream come true), or are they just getting rid of a problem, because the synchronization never worked satisfactorily?

I think Mogrify is only having trouble when exporting text annotations, at least to me. The other features work fine.

A major dilemma has emerged! 😱 I downgraded to version 11.4.1 to be able to continue using Mogrify 2. But now LR won't sync to iCloud anymore until I upgrade to version 11.5. Now I no longer know what to do. 😬 My Mac is not compatible with the latest LR (12.4) release. I am considering buying a newer Mac. But is it the case that Mogrify 2 doesn't work with the latest version either?

Thanks for all the help and good answers. I got to thinking about all the collections I've made, both manual and smart albums, and I was afraid I'd destroy a lot of them if I deleted photos and re-imported. Maybe the smart albums would "survive" but not the manual ones. So I took no chances and set about doing the whole job manually, as I was first advised. Thanks to LR's incredibly good sorting options in the library module, the job goes very quickly once you have found the right way to do it. I'm already well underway, and at the same time I get to clean up the library in a way I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise.

I know, and I have already tagged all my pictures thoroughly with keywords, GPS locations and faces. So they are always easy to find by searching and filtering. I don't really need to organize the files more than this, but I just like to keep everything very tidy.

Thanks! I know I can always do it manually, but it's about several thousand photos from more than 2000 dates, so it will likely be a big job. I myself had thought of the idea of re-importing the images. I think I'll give this a try.

I love the way LR organizes my photos by date when importing them (YYYY/MM/DD). Unfortunately I have some older photos that are not organized this way. Is there a way to get images organized like this after they are imported?

Yes, I have downloaded and purchased a lot of presets and profiles. The problem is that they always want to change the colors too, in all sorts of ways. I just want the clean and pure matte effect, without any color tweaks. Then I can possibly make my own changes afterwards. Even though I've spent hundreds of dollars on such profiles, I often prefer one I've made myself, based on the Adobe Color profile.

The matte look is very popular on e.g. social media and on advertising images. The tonal range is shrinked to simulate the look of film. It can be done in LR with the curves tool. You will also need to adjust the colors and contrast to achive a natural look. There are lots of presets that can do this with varying luck, but to do it yourself needs practice and knowledge to get it right. A dedicated tool that can create this effect with a slider would be very helpful and save a lot of time for those who want this look in their pictures.

Luminar can be used as a LR plugin, but that's too expensive for only this feature. If anyone knows of another plugin, I'd be happy to know.
