P: Turn off Tool Tips

[Michael_Jhon]

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 accidentally mouse over the text labels in the develop module a lot.

I am always greeted by an 2 by 2 inches popup which:

a) distracts me from what I am doing, that is developing photos, not reading tutorials
b) covers up a part of my working document while the popup persists

I would like to see the popup made optional for those who prefer more talkative and distracted workflow.

Yours:

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.

[msimon_arizona]

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.

Childish, intrusive and annoying... pls add the option to disable this nuisance.

Can a feature be added to turn pop up tool tips off? I find it very distracting when editing my photos and having the tool tips pop up telling me what the tool does. Maybe a longer hover over the name of the tool triggers a pop up?

There's a preference should take care of that. In Tools, turn off Rich Tool Tips and you shouldn't be annoyed anymore.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Oops. Sorry about not knowing what app was being referred to. Those tool tips are in everything, aren't they?<G>

[Dulce Dark]

Yes! Please! Particularly on the noise sliders, it seems the hover time is like half a millisecond before they turn on. Particularly annoying when working in black and white and the tips pop up in color. Grrr. Cheers! 

[Dulce Dark]

Hovering over a slider for any amount of time brings up a very distracting tool tip, particularly the noise sliders. Dudes, I get in the zone while editing and nothing brings me out quicker than a slider tip showing me how to do what I am already doing. Helpful at first, annoying the nine hundredth time. Pretty please add a preference to let me turn them off. Thank you !

These comments were from 8-9-months ago....Still we get this annoying 'feature'.!!

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

It is still not updated. This is extremely annoying and Adobe doesn't seem to be interested in fixing this.

This is one of the things that I like the least about LR CC and makes me want to stay on Classic. I've used LR since version 2.0 - I don't need popups to hold my hand every fifteen seconds. Probably a great feature for someone who's never touched LR before though. 

[sirpete]

A great feature to all who never wish they had a manual for the program they pay for.

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.

[victoria-g]

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

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Please integrate an option to disable these. These are becoming unbearable and unnecessarily intrusive for “professional“ grade software. 

[tbiondo]

I second that. Tool tips are unnecessary. Especially for users like me who have been using Lightroom since version 1.0.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Like all the other comments, I find these tooltips intrusive and annoying.  After using LR for as long as I have, I don't need them.  Please align Lightroom with Photoshop and provide the option to switch tooltips off. 

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I also find these pop-up tool tips annoying they consistently block the photo I am trying to edit. I understand how these may be necessary and essential to a beginner, but for someone who knows what they are doing I believe these tool tips only provided frustration. Please enable a toggle somewhere to get rid of these. Even clicking out of the tool doesn't get rid of the pop-up it just sits there.

I'm using Lightroom CC version 4.3

Please build into the menu settings a way for users to turn off the recurring and annoying tool tips, dialogue boxes, suggestions, or whatever the pop-ups are called.  Despite assurances from Adobe customer care, the pop-ups do not go away over time & usage of the program.  I'm using M1 chip Mac computers.  Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, Microsoft Word, Capture One-- most if not all of the professional and consumer software programs enable   users to change their settings to turn off certain welcoming pages or tutorial pop-ups.

 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? 

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

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.
