How can I tether Lightroom 6 to my Nikon D5500

[soulefz23374473]

Hello,

yesterday, following a discussion about lightroom 6 and it's upgrade, I upgraded to lightroom since thinking, that I can have tethering for my Nikon D5500, but unfortunately it seems that I need lightroom 6.4 for that.... so how can i do the update, and is it going to be free?

thank you for your help.

Hi Soulefz23374473,

As you have mentioned you would like to update your Lightroom 6 to the latest version, the last and the most current version of Lightroom 6 stand alone license is 6.13.

You may use the following link to download and install the update directly: Keep your Lightroom version up to date.

Let us know if this helps.

I have this on my system information:

Lightroom version: 6.0 [1014445]

License: Perpetual

Operating system: Windows 8.1 Home Premium Edition

Version: 6.3 [9600]

Application architecture: x64

does it mean that I have version6.3?

Thank you Bani for all your help, So even I go there, I don;t know what to do, the lightroom 6 I just bought the update yesterday, as I used to have lightroom 5.7.1... I was looking for the version that will do tethering for my Nikon D5500, and the documentation it sais, that Nikon D5500 is supported on lightroom 6.4... with the version I have, when I connect my camera for tethering, it shows: no camera detected. So what shalla I do?

6.3 is in relation with your OS. I am currently on a Windows 7 system and my version is 6.1. But my Lightroom is Lightroom 7.0 . Quite confusing! 🙂

Lightroom Classic version: 7.0 [ 1140024 ]

License: Creative Cloud

Operating system: Windows 7

Version: 6.1

To answer your initial question (Bani Verma​'s link does unfortunately not show 6.13):

The base version of your Lightroom is Lightroom 6. So you are entitled for free upgrades of all dot versions (.1-.13, including the final not yet released .14) . There is, however, no reason to upgrade to 6.4 only, because 6.13 includes all 6.4 stuff and additional new cameras and lenses and some bug fixes.

here is the link to use: Download Photoshop Lightroom .

Download and install the 6.13 version atop of your 6.0. It's free.

IMHO: You should have gone to the full creative cloud with the 2 products you have subscribed and a little more you would have gotten the complete creative cloud, including some very useful additional programs for your Premiere and After Effects: Audition, Photoshop (also great for your photo work), Illustrator...

As you can see even though I have lightroom 6 on my laptop and bouth yesterday, I can't see it between my apps, do I have to delete the lightroom 5? or what shall I do.

I have reviewed your Adobe ID (email address) that you have utilized to post here and found that you have subscriptions for Premiere Pro CC & After Effects CC and a license for Lightroom 6.

Lightroom 6 since is a stand alone app hence it would not show up in the Creative Cloud desktop app, in order to update it go to help>update or directly do it from the link i have shared.

As the question you have is related to tethering hence moving this thread to Lightroom Classic CC​.

Thank you very much for your help, I went to adobe support and got helped, actually what was happening every time you sen me the link for lightroom 6 download, I never checked under the scroll, that there was alla the updates there, I was looking for a link for download and it was never visible for me, until i clicked on the arrow near Lightroom 6, and there I found that all the links where there, silly me!!!

Hi soulefz,

Nikon D5500 requires Lightroom version 6.4 or above for tethering support. Do you have the version 6.4 or above installed on your computer? We recently released an update for Lightroom 6.13. Were you able to manually install the update from this direct link listed in this page Download Photoshop Lightroom ​

If you have the latest version installed and unable to tether your camera in Lightroom 6.13, Please check out this article Fix tethered shooting in Lightroom and let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash

Thanks for the update Soulefz. Glad to know Lightroom 6 is now working.
