Lightroom Classic

Looking for advice from those who work on multiple external hard drives. I have a 14TB External Harddrive at my office that I do not move (it's huge). I use that for the bulk of my photos (Lightroom catalog is on my Macbook Pro). I also have a smaller 2TB external harddrive that travels with me.  My question is - is it best practice/ok to open lightroom and work off the 2TB drive when I'm away from my office and work in the catalog even though the bulk of my photos are saved on the 14TB drive? I know obviously I won't be able to edit the photos that are saved on the 14TB drive when I'm not connected, but I need a solution for when I work remote/am away from my office (which is where the 2TB drive will be used). Seeing the little 'exclamation' points in LrC gives me anxiety lol.  When I'm back in the office, I would use Lightroom's internal system for moving the photos from the 2TB to the 14TB.   Is this best practice? Or am I asking for corrupted

I've tried uploading LRTemp... presets in Classic (got latest as just gone on monthly) but they're not uploading, and I don't have any Adobe presets either, should there be some standard ones? I went for 'other presets' Lightroom Develop presents, user presets, put them in a folder, restarted... nothing 

I purchased Lightroom Classic some time ago. I know it is no longer supported but I simply want to open it. I sccessfully login but am asked to login when I try to open the app immediately after.. 

I'm running mac 12.7.6 and Lightroom classic version 13.5.  Everytime I import a photo Lightroom Classic adds a keyword (date) that I don't type.  It's adding "2022".  I don't know how to make it stop doing this.  It's annoying because I have to delete it from all the photos everytime I import.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

Hi and thank for reading my post. I may be missing something obvious here but images taken on my Olympus OM-1 in Monochrome ( .ORF ) and then imported into LR Classic where they are converted into .dng file appear Monochrome in the thumbnail in LR Library panel.... but when I export the image into the develop panel to edit.... they appear in colour ?? Even though I took them in Mono in the first place...Ok its easy enough to just hit B&W in the develop panel and they resume black and white again. But does this mean the Mono settings I applied in camera ( Sharpness, filters, contrast) are not carried over to the final image in the develop panel ??Your advice is appreciated.

So this has been going on for two versions now. I've posted about this before but have not seen a fix for it. The app is doing something in the background and will not respond to commands immediately. It sometimes performs them 10-30 seconds later then goes right back to being unresponsive again. I can see my dedicated photo raid drive acting very busy with something even though my Sync is paused and there are no acitvites happening in the upper left part of the interface window. Clearly the program is doing something that I cannot control or pause. What I am left with is a program which cannot let me reliably do my work.I don't know what is happening with this program but it seems obvious that if I am to do work on this program it needs to perform the tasks when I tell it to do them and not occasionally do things when it wants to. I am losoing time and money working in Lightroom and will have to seriously consider moving to another progfram if I cannot get my work done when I nee

I have a new, more powerful desktop PC with Windows 11 and with it comes a problem I have never encountered before on my old PC and Windows 10.The problem: third party image converters, such as XnConvert and a bunch of others I tried in the last days, fail when it comes to converting DNG files edited in and exported from Lightroom Classic into JPEG files. In all cases the DNG-to-JPEG conversion runs seemingly normally, but the produced JPEGs contain absolutely none of the edits featured in the DNG files. Instead, the produced JPEGs appear to be the converted versions of the unedited, raw files (Nikon NEF). Notably, exporting to DNG or JPEG from LRC works just fine, but LRC is not the best option for batch conversions.I would be thankful for any ideas or explanations.

Can you reposition, or move around a zoomed in screen when in the Mask module?  I've been getting out of Mask when I need to move the screen around, then returning to it when I'm showing the area I want.  Just wondering if there's a way to do it without leaving the Mask module.  Thanks.

I recently updated my lightroom classic a couple days ago to the v13.5 and it worked fine that day (3 days ago) i went back in to work on my newest photography project and i have zero photos in lightroom. like, not even one. all of my folders are greyed out. i thought i would deal with it later and just re-import my newest work again and i cant import them because they are already imported but greyed out. i tried importing the most recent back up and i get error messages such as "not writable and could not be opened" or "could not locate" no files have been moved, no hard drives have been unplugged or located to a different drive. any help would be greatly appreciated. im using windows 11 if that matters.

Am I able to get a replacement of LR6 because my copy was corrupted due to computer crash

Hello, When synchronizing files or during importing new files being added to Library do not show up until the program is shutdown and restarted. This is a real problem. Edit in Photoshop psds are not showing up in Lightroom although the box is selected in preferences. This has happened during the newest upgrage of Lightroom 13.5 and MAC OS Sonoma 14.6.1.   Please help.  [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

The camera matching profiles for the A7RV couldn't be further from camera matching. I click them and suddenly people's skin turn red. My camera does not give red skin tones in the jpeg files it takes. Do these need looking at again? 

I can see my collections in the Lightroom CC Develop module but my folders are not displayed. How do I fix this? Using Macbook Pro. Lightroom CC 13.5 release. OS ver Sonoma 14.5   [Moved from ‘Lightroom ecosystem’ to ‘Lightroom Classic’ by moderator]

I have lightroom 13.4 classic on windows 11 and try to import (in place becuase the files are already there) from another catalog Import photos from a different Lightroom Classic catalog It seems to import everything in the catalog I choose. Is there some way to be more selective of what should be imported?

Can I install LR, Lrc and Photoshop 2023 on the same computer that is running LR 6 and photoshop CS6.  What do I need to do and what will happen to my current catalogs?  Should I back up my current LR 6 files on a seperate disk before installing? Thanks Mike

So, I'm using the new Windows Copilot Surface. Been waiting for an update to fix the "Edit in photoshop" which doesn't work.  It opens up Photoshop and no files open. So, I install the new LRC update and the fix seems to have been to actually remove te feature lol.  Now, "Edit in photoshop" options are grayed out.  Uninstalled PS / reinstalled.  Didn't fix.  Uninstalled both / re-installed both, didn't fix.  Found an article aout editing the registry and adding the PS path, etc.  But it was already there.  I deleted it and re-added it per the article and didn't fix. So... it's broke.  Still. Just kinda different.

My setup for many years has been to store photos on a NAS drive that is NFS-auto-mounted to my Mac. Just now I went to import new photos, and my target directory is no longer available. The existing photos mounted through that same directory are still visible within Lightroom. I'm wondering if this is some sort of app/directory permission issue because of the automounting and synthetic linking, but that hasn't been an issue in the past.    See no directories available under /nas. Should see /nas/media there.   And here is my automount/synthetic configuration:     Lightroom Classic v13.5 macOS 14.6.1   Any thoughts? I'm kind of stuck if I have no way to import new photos.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

Hey experts!My question is: Does LRC automatically read the xmp edit information in import (when the xmp is available)?Are there situations/ scenarios when it won't behave like that?I tested it, and it does apply the edits automatically, though I want to have 100% assurance that this is the default behavior and nothing can change it.I couldn't find the answer to this online, and I am always getting amazing responses here 🙂I appreciate your help!Best,

I have updated to LR 13.0 and found that merged dng files (for panoramas) are now very small. For example, I merged three 76MB RAW files and the resulting dng was only 18MB. Normally the merged dng file would be more than 200MB. However I found that when I exported the dng file as a tiff without compression at 300dpi it did exceed 200MB. I've gone back and checked previous merged dng panoramas and observed that they were very large but when I merged them again in the 13.0 version of LR they suddenly dropped down to about a tenth of the files merged before updating.I am using an M1 Mac Mini and running Ventura.What's going on? Any ideas? 

I went on a trip and copied files from my extenral hard drive to a samller portbable drive and worked on them while away.  When I got home I hooked up my permanent extenral drive and the files were missing because they had been relinked so I clicked on the missing file icon and relinked one to the file's original location.  I thought this would relink all of the files in the same folder but it's not.   So I am having to relink each one indivdiuually.  Why isn't Lightroom doing the automatic relinking like it usually does?  Thanks.
