I have a similar problem. Generative Expand is by far to restrictive. Totally unusable. I have a non nude model in the image and simply try to expand the forest scene around her, result: You must pay for something that doesn't work 🤬. That's typical for scam company Adobe. The best: even if you can't use the result, it drops your credits of 250 free Generative Fill/Expand. 🤬   Even if you have nude models in it, that's not of Adobe's business. It also reveals, that Adobe is clearly spying on your images. 🤬 ... View more

Can you please make a DNG from your CL available? That would be great. It's sufficient it it's an image of a plain wall. - I assume the profiles are idetical all over the Leica mirrorless brands except for the M possibly. It worth a try. 1000 thanks in advance. ... View more

Nothing on Mac. Since 201x - can't remember when the M10 was released. I addressed directly the Leica Support in Wetzlar, to me it seems the even didn't understand the issue. It's ridiculous only Leica has that problem. All other brands export all in body profiles into their raw files. ... View more

I have the same problem. Can someone please post a link where to download the profiles at Leica? I asked the Support in Wetzlar (I'm native German speaker), they even didn't understand the problem. It's ridiculous, the profiles are missing in the DNGs. All other brands export also the in body profiles in their raw files. I am asking for this since the M10 became available. ... View more

To be honest, this is a ridiculous workflow and it must be able to set the external editor in the settings, like it is possible in LrC or Bridge. - But no, this is of course not possible.   Well, we all know that Adobe likes to abuse its paying customers as alpha and beta testers. The 10th Ferengi Rule of Acquisition well adapted: Greed is eternal.   Besides, Adone Lightroom is kinda nothing else as a slower version of Bridge in new UI design having ACR integrated - done by sacrificing performance. ...

Hi @john beardsworth , that's a controvers discussion. During one of that Adobe shows/events in 2017 or 2018 (can't remember the year), Aaron Nace (Phlearn) edited in TIFF and got advice that PSD is better from the Adobe guy sitting next to him. Can't find the video on YouTube, too long ago, but I can remember quite exactly because until this day I was also using TIFF, but switched then to PSD.   In the Lightroom preferences I couldn't find a possibility to change it, there is no "External Editing" tab.   In LrC, you can - PSD no longer opened in Ps recommended - add LrC tweakings also to the PSD file.   Lr looks kinda crippled Bridge. ...

I'm in LrC, so it's primary the database I rely to. Even if I use my computers all with English language settings (except for the keyboard, but that's another story and concerns Ps), Creative Cloud installed all apps first in German and even after manually switching to English (in LrC settings), the labelling sticks fixed to Rot/Gelb/Grün/Blau/Lila - the German version of Red/Yellow/Green/Blue/Purple. - As nice the A.I. functions are, if it comes to the basics, Adobe's software is incredibly ridiculous bad programmed, no word exists for it.   If you sell overpriced multi language software, this must be correctly covered by the software itself - that is covered by the course "software developpment 101". It can't be covered by XMP is kinda logical, there values should be integer indexes instead of plain text, those matched by the language settings of LrC/Bridge/Ps/etc. to the corresponding plain text value. That's also covered by the course  "Software Development for Beginners 101".   So, I had to make my own preset to have the label colors back correctly. But that doesn't solve the problem as soon you collaborate in projects internationally and you exchange data Bridge/XMP based. ☹️   If I would be in lead of the Adobe software development, errors like that wouldn't exists. And yes, it's an error, software design error, not bugs. A bug is something like an accident happened. But that is basically worst software development style ever. Not sticking to any basic development rules.    I developped software between 1986 to 1999 (BIOS add ons for mouse and menus for international used DOS software plus the mathematical part, prior to a usable Windows version, later for Windows 3.x, first in with Turbo Pascal and later with Borland Pascal), when the engineers still were in lead of the project milestones. Never ever back then, we would have been releasing software having such trivial design errors causing those gigantic follow up problems. Nowadays, the milestones and decisions are made by clueless pea counters in suits and that's the problem.   But that's a problem everywhere - not only at Adobe and other software companies - and the reason why the planet is going down the drain.   Cheers ...

@gregreser  Hooray, switching that deleted/reset all color labeling of the whole catalog (150k images). Thanks you so much for your inexistent warning. I have still no clue, why this ever was different. The XMP issue is a thing to be solved by the developers in the software itself. PS: I have no clue why, but I can't reply directly to your anser containing the advice in screen shot attached   ... View more

@Kevin Stohlmeyer  - Thanks. But it is kinda distracting. Both versions are 24.7.0 - so for normals people understanding and logic, Generative Fill should be available also in the 24.7.0 release, isn't it? ... View more

OK OK, as said, just asking. Had no real intention to offend you. I'm just super annoyed of Adobe, ripping off the people by that behated subscription system. For that, they should - must - run a professional helping platform where it's possible to report bugs directly to a mail address like eg. support@adobe.com, the dispatching should then done by a first front line of experts. Here in the community I never ever got one single problem/bug I discovered fixed. And I posted a lot of them. For your convenience: I have been working for 25 years as software developer my own and have a talent to stumble over a software bugs as easy as breathing is for others. That makes the "community help system" to me 10 x as annoying as for normal users. But no, the probem is shifted to the customer. It shouldn't be necessary to reset preferences, that's treatment of symptoms on the shoulders of the customer not removing the cause. A very bad deal for the customers. I tried the solution you suggested also, didn't help. But I lost all my preferences dispite of exactly following the instructions in the links of you solution and couldn't recover it. I had to configure everything from the scratch. ... View more

I'm always asking myself: Can Adobe's worst ever reputation for having no reliable software could even get worse? For sure they are working on it 😕   It's of course nice to have all this A.I. tools, specially in LrC, but hey, please make the basic functions work. Currently (Ps v 24.4.1) the adjustment layers, specially the Curves are jerky, lagging, super slow, unusable. At least on an M1 MBA, 8 Core, 16 GB RAM. With FCP or DaVinci Resolve I can edit on that MBA super performant 4K-DCI 50 fps videos, they are rendered in an instant, on Photoshop, the Curves adjustment layer is currently unusable 🙈.   Worst of all the bad design of the homepage: it's even not possible to directly access my postings in the Adobe Support Community after logging into my account, there is nowhere a button or function for accessing them directly.   It always takes me 15 minutes until I find my contributions.   I am pretty sure Adobe does that intentionally for avoiding any contact with those unconvienient customers, it's sufficient for Adobe to rip them off.

Hi Cory, thanks for reply.   I would have been attaching the .psd here, but it has 152 MB and that's to big to upload here.   So, I uploaded it to my Google drive there it should be possible to download, for analysis purposes only, © 2023 by Roland Rick, Liechtenstein.   Click here for download.   Thanks for your hint, but honestly, I don't want to reset anything, that's a felony alike shifting back the problem to the customer, insted of solving the performance problems Photoshop has since ever, specially on Macs.   FYC: I already did that reset thing once, it had no effect. And I won't repeat it, because doing so, you are losing all settings and never can restore them as they were.   Well, that since ever is possibly an exaggeration, performance problems started in the early 2000's when Adobe once decided to no longer support OSX but only Windows.   A misdecision which was dropped later. But retaining a bad thing for all Mac users: performance never again catched up with Windows and Premiere is still permanet crashing and unusable on Macs. Well, I'm working with FCP and DaVinci Resolve Studio anyway, which are 100 x faster and never crash.   Adobe still doesn't get it: The Mac is the computer for creative people. It does everything that includes coming with calibrated displays (AdobeRGB or P3) etc., you have to spend a fortune on hardware until you have a Windows computer at the same quality level.   Photoshop must run performantly also with my preferences and settings, shoudln't it?   It's expensive enough, e.g. 10 yrs Photoshop and Lr subscription only are about whopping CHF (or USD) 1500, so I expect such a software to run performantly and not at snail speed, almost impossible to use it. Using my preferences and setting.   Adobe: just another word for rip-off. :(((((   It's really not funny. ... View more
