Question

Extra numbers added to sequence number

On importing I use Custom file name and set the start number sequence.  I select File Name & Sequence number,   On import there are extra numbers added after the sequence number.  In some cases the extra numbers appear to be the total number of photos on card at that point where the photo is imported (e.g., if I import ten photos and select to number them 1 through 10 but they are the 200 to 210 photos on the card, the displayed sequence number will be 1200 through 10210); however, this may not be true for all cases.  At any rate, how do I stop the extra numbers from being added to the sequence number I have selected?   Using LR 6 stand alone.

    I have no answer, sorry. (Just another 'User' without privy to the workings of the Forum site)

    I also checked the email options in preferences but have not yet received an email re forum posts!

    Ask the question specifically in a new post, perhaps others have an answer.

    1 through 10 but they are the 200 to 210 photos on the card, the displayed sequence number will be 1200 through 10210);

    I do not know how this occurred for you, but I can reproduce the effect with a Rename template-

    So is it possible you have been experimenting with Filename template editing?

    This template inserts a 'Sequence' number immediately before the number that already exists in the filename.

    eg. My photo IMG_6048  will get renamed by the template shown as 20150829-16048.jpg

    Note the sequence "1" is added in front of "6048"

    If your imported images are called IMG_200, IMG_201, etc then this rename template would rename it  -1200, -2201, -3202,...-10210, etc

    I did not receive an email that you had replied to my question, thus the delay in responding.  Screen shot of Custom Name editor attached.  Is this what you requested?

    Is there something I have to do in order to receive email that my question has been responded to?

    When operating properly when you select "Edit In PSE", LR displays a screen that gives you the options to edit a copy w/LR adjustments, w/o LR adjustments, or a copy.  Only occasionally was the options screen displayed.  Usually the file was sent directly to PSE w/LR adjustment.

    As in the reply by davidg36166309​ -

    1. A RAW file from Lightroom opens in Photoshop-E and NO OPTIONS are displayed. The RGB file opens directly in Ps-E with LR adjustments applied.

    2. An RGB file (JPG, TIFF, PSD) from Lightroom WILL SHOW the options panel. (This RGB file might be a camera original or a file previously edited in Ps-E.

    This is "operating properly".

    I have to disagree with your response.  Perhaps because your reference is to LR Classic CC and I use standalone LR 6.  Until recently, after making LR adjustments to the RAW I always received the Options screen after selecting "Edit in" and as noted it still appears occasionally.

    First, can you post a screen-clip of your File Renaming settings in the Rename Template Editor?
