Question

Deleting photos not in a collection

Hi there - I'm a rookie at Lightroom, help appreciated!

 

I imported all of my photos (which sync'd them online which I didn't want to do) as (I thought) it was the only way I could clearly preview them (any help here welcome...)

 

I then sorted the photos I wanted into various collections which totals around 70, the remaining 550 are clogging all my 20Gb Adobe space I have, and I can't work out how to delete them without deleting the photos I have in my collections!

 

So, the questions is, can you filter photos that are not in a collection.... or any other workaround appreciated! 

 

Henry

 

 

P.S. the secondary question is how do you best preview photos before importing them, or import them so they don't sync online.... I think I may be getting confused with having used Lightroom and now Lightroom CC...

First, please clarify, is the software you are asking about Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)? What is the version NUMBER of your software (go to Help->System Info, it's the fourth line down, first line inside the inner box, it says either Lightroom Version or Lightroom Classic Version)

 

Also, there is no software known as Lightroom CC.

Thanks for the reply - I actually have both open. On LrC the version is: 12.4.0 [21F79] - and looking at Lighroom (Lr) it's the same on that too (OS Version: macOS 12.4 (21F79))

I don't want the OS version, I want the Lightroom version.

 

And its not clear which of these two software you are asking about.
