P: Turn off Tool Tips

[MickoJhon]

the hints were cool and helpful for the first 10 seconds, but every time i hover over a tool i get a helpful yet extremely annoying hint about what that tool does. i have looked and cant seem to find out how to turn it off, someone please shed some light on how i would turn these off its driving me batty   

[JP Hess]

As far as I know, for right now you just deal with it. Or, don't hover over the name of the tool. There isn't a real preferences section to deal with in Lightroom CC at this point. Give the program a little more time to grow up.

I am just trying Lightroom CC having been a Lightroom classic user for many years.  If I can not stop this useless and annoying pop up crap today, constantly interrupting me, I will be uninstalling this useless version and discouraging anyone who asks me from ever using it.

It is rare to find anything as annoying as 'help' only the rarest nube would need to see and then making it impossible to turn it off. 

It is not a feature, it is just an  annoying useless intrusion. If this was my first experience with Adobe products, the last hour would be the last experience with Adobe products I ever had.

I think that they get less at you use the tools more.

Thanks.  I uninstalled it. I have no patience for unnecessary interruptions of my processes. Almost every system has some of this but the arrogance of not allowing it to be turned off exceeds my tolerance.

It's a no win for Adobe. When they provide users with ability to disable the hints, said users forget that they did so, then come here to complain about the absence of adequate hints and tips.

How do people not understand technology so thoroughly?  Just search a tutorial on YouTube or play around a bit or just don't click on settings you don't understand, like disabling hints.  I just started trying to use Lightroom CC for the convenience and organization between devices and cloud, and these hints are already driving me crazy.

It's 2020 now, two years since people have been complaining about this. How do I turn these giant bubbles off?

 I searched around a bit and couldn't find the answer. Couldnt find it in Preference either. Those tips or whatnot keep showing up nonstop. Super annoying. How do I turn it off?

Tool Tips are not user-controllable. The time interval should lengthen the more you use the program. If you would like to request this as a future feature, I am sure others would vote for it.

A quick Google search shows that this has been an outstanding issue/complaint/feature request since at least 2018. 

When your cursor hovers over certain buttons (Presets, Auto, B&W, Profile, etc) you get a large popup providing a definition as to what that button/feature does. As an experienced LR user, these are not useful to me and in fact, a hinderence to my productivity. We need an option to disable them via preferences. 

As someone who has primarily always used Lightroom Classic, I'm now beginning to travel regularly again as we move post-pandemic. Lightroom CC seemed like the obvious choice to be able to sync my collections made in LRClassic to allow me to continue to cull and edit while on the road. Yet immediately these constant popups, telling me what I already know and blocking the features I actually need, is proving to be very annoying and slowing down my workflow. 

A update to be able to turn them off would be all that's requested.

How many years later and this is still a major issue thats highly requested, I am so thankful this is not in lightroom classic but the fact you named it classic means it will eventually be discontinued for this mobile lightroom app smh

[rochdale al]

I'm requesting it along with countless other users - not holding my breath though

[Ohiniya]

Please remove the tooltips option for Lightroom CC

Best,
