You now have the full edition on a 30 day trial. When the trial finishes the program will deactivate. You won’t be able to use it. ... View more

Thanks, yes. You reminded me. But the original doesn’t get modified. Just a working copy of it. Which is kept in the catalog. However. In the OPs case that shouldn’t have any effect on the ability to sync a collection if the originals are stored on a NAS Drive I’d have thought? Unless maybe the NAS is in sleep mode or some other idle state? ??? ... View more

I didn't think LRCC used the Originals for editing?  This is where I've stored a copy of my originals. According to Preferences - > Local Storage. Nothing in there gets edited, modified or otherwise altered. Just stored. I have them stored in Date order, and these are the last imports, stored as backups in that location. All images are stored in the Cloud, from where they are pulled to be worked on, modified or retouched. via Smart Previews. They are then available to all my devices. iPad, iPhone, and Desktop.  If I need to revert to the original - it is pulled from the Cloud, not local storage. If I Save the modified image, it is saved to the Cloud as a smart preview, or I can Export it as a new file entirely. When I import new images, from any of my devices, they are immediately stored up in the Cloud and I can check this by going to the web interface, but they are also stored in the above location at the same time and left there. Becoming effectively a 'backup' In the Cloud, via lightroom.adobe.com the images and structure are exactly the same as on my Desktop and devices. Cloud (Web) base Desktop base As I mentioned in passing previously when I first imported all my images 43,854 of them, into Lightroom CC I originally had them in LRClassic. I also had them stored as originals on a spare drive. The import from LRClassic simply wouldn't work properly. Big mess. So I cleaned out LRCC, and reset it to 0. Carefully set up Preferences as you see, with the Originals stored on an Internal drive used only for that purpose. I then began the Import from the other image file repository. So the images were imported to LRCC, sent to the Cloud - I have a Fibre Optic connection the Internet, and stored locally at the same time in the designated storage location. The Import and Sync process took about a week to complete. Beware Adobe's pathetic Cloud/internet link. Even then, there ended up some six I think images that simply would not sync. They just sat there. On them, I gave up. I have no idea what happened to them in the end, because now some two months later everything seems to run smoothly. Now, if the original posters Local Storage of Original Copies are on a NAS drive, it shouldn't make a blind bit of difference. Unless there are Spaces somewhere in the Pathname to the folder on the NAS. That shouldn't matter - but sometimes it does. That's the whole idea of LightroomCC. You can work on your images from anywhere, as everything is stored in the Cloud. That's what I understand anyway? It works for me. Just out of curiosity - if the OP doesn't have that log file in  ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom CC/ then there is probably something wrong somewhere else. The file lrcc_console.log should be there. Don't forget the tilde at the start of the path. My apologies if I'm interrupting - but I find this interesting. because I've seen something somewhere else about NAS problems...  and ... maybe the OP doesn't have enough Cloud storage? or a fast internet connection. Not that that matters because Adobe's isn't. ... View more

Forgive me for asking but I’ve read the OPs question and am trying to understand just what is being synced and what is being stored and where? On my setup here, I have some 30,000 plus images. I import new images via iPad, iPhone or the Desktop into ‘the cloud’. The Library is stored on the main drive, and I have the settings set to store originals on another internal drive used only for that purpose. It doesn’t seem to matter where the originals are imported from, they end up in the storage location as well as in the cloud. When I first set it all up it took forever to sync all the images, but now it’s fine. So what I’m trying to understand from Stephens question is just what is being synced that involves the NAS. If the NAS is just storage for the originals, then it won’t need syncing will it? They get stored there as originals on import. I’m assuming? As well as going to the cloud. Or have I misunderstood this whole thing.? But also... if you are trying to sync a lot of images to the cloud at the same time, that probable won’t work. For some reason the link to Adobe seems to be very poor. ... View more

Sorry, I think you misunderstand me.... 1. I don’t want to change the CC Album name if I’m creating a web gallery. 2. Regardless, the Gallery Title that appears on the web page should at least be the Album name, if that’s the way it works, but it’s not. The web page title is “Latest Images” , which is about banal as you can get. I mean, what’s the point of the interface asking for a title, if it doesn’t use it other than to change the Album name in CC. I would have thought that asking for a Title would be asking for a web gallery page title. And changing Latest Images to that name. Robert ... View more

This is interesting. One person tells me I have noise, and another is saying there isn't. Personally, I can't see any noise unless I enlarge it to three times its size and then maybe it's not noise? So maybe someone with more expertise than I have can point out the issue for me? Thanks. ... View more

Why do I have noise in my images? Good question. In this case, I confess I'm struggling to see much noise even at some magnification. The tree-clad mountains so look a bit noisy though, and the clouds need a little. If I de-noise the image it actually loses some resolution, however, there could be some improvement. Let me see what I can do. ... View more

Thanks.  I'll look into the noise issues again. I can't use this image and others in the same series though. I shot them all too small. LowRes... won't do that again. Not to worry. I live an learn. But removing noise, now there's something I'm still working with. ... View more

Hi there, let me clear that up if I can Jim I have a lot of files that have the (xxxx).jpg in their names. As it turns out they are all duplicates of files that have the original file name. So really in short, I need to be able to search for all file names with a ")" in the name, or as in wildcard searches *(*).jpg So I can remove them. thanks Robert ... View more
