I think the answer is the opposite of what John thought. LR has two levels of selection (and two shades of grey to indicate selection), Selected and Most Selected. Multiple files can be selected but only the currently active file is Most Selected and it is always Most Selected. I think you had all 1730 photos selected while you worked on the Most Selected and then wanted to export it, but LR saw that all files were selected and assumed that you wanted to export all. And you didn't have to go to Library to fix that, it could have been done in Develop, where you have an easily seen indication of multiple selections - the large "Previous" button at the lower right changes to "Sync" or "Auto Sync" (according to the switch position).

and then try to open the JPEG (photo) from Bridge or Photoshop, it opens up the Camera RAW dialogue, rather than opening up in photoshop. This one I cannot understand. IIRC there was a time when an option was available to "Open a JPG via Camera Raw" but I cannot now find that option with my current versions of Photoshop and Bridge. If you are trying to edit JPGs directly in Photoshop (without any Lightroom involvement) -You can simply press the [Open] button in ACR to continue on to the Photoshop edit window. (or find and change that option- if you use old versions of Photoshop) From Bridge's Edit menu, open the CR Preferences and change the setting for the opening of Jpgs and Tiffs.

Difference btwn smart previews and 1:1 previes? Previews are essentially jpgs created by LR for display in the Library module; 1:1 previews are the same size as the original and therefore useful for examining the image display at 1:1 zoom, but are not needed otherwise. Smart Previews are dng files that are no more than 2560 pixels on the long side and can be used by the Develop module as surrogates for the originals when they are not available - as, for instance, when the original image files are on an external drive at home and you are in the field with your laptop. If the originals are always available, SPs are not needed.

If the drive is being used cross-system, the problem may be in the file-system formatting. If it is formatted FAT 16, Windows will read and write to it but may characterize it as a removable drive (rather than a "local drive" that would be NTFS), which could cause LR to treat it like a memory card

I think your problem is in the way Windows is designating your external drive and passing that info on to LR. If it is being seen as a "USB Drive", LR will consider it to be portable drive, like a memory card, and reduce the import options to only two, Copy and Copy As Dng, either of which will produce the second file. If, however, the OS recognizes the external as a "Local Drive" (as my Windows 10 does with my external drives), then on LR's Import page there will be four options - in addition to the two Copy options also Move and Add. To import the original file while leaving its location unchanged, you want Add. To see the drive's designation, right-click on the drive name in either LR/Library or File Explorer and select Properties; the type should be Local Drive and the file system NTFS.

https://forums.adobe.com/people/John+Waller wrote I downloaded the single app license and it updated to 6.14, but it doesn't auto-update to 6.7. Are you aware that 6.14 comes after 6.7 in Adobe's version numbering? The version numbering goes 6.7 6.8 6.9 6.10 6.11 6.12 6.13 6.14 (current) Somewhat OT, but an interesting curiosity is that there is no 6.11. The reason is that the parallel version of ACR would have been 9.11 and Adobe marketing execs wanted to avoid a name with unpleasant associations for Americans.

In general, I edit for just a tiny bit of black clipping and a white point that is just before clipping. But I prefer to use the method of holding the Alt/Opt key down while moving the Basic panel tone setting sliders, rather than using the histogram. IMO, this has several advantages; a) the image display occupies a major part of the screen and the high contrast black and white display is easily seen while the histogram is small and squinty, b) I see exactly where in the image the clipping occurs and can zoom into that spot for greater precision, c) I see by the color of the clipping warning whether all three channels are clipped or only one or two. I also edit skin tones “by the numbers” using the numeric readout below the histogram.

You guys are criminals. I just paid for 6.14 expecting to have the dehaze tool as part of my upgrade. Why? LR 6 was released 2 years and 8 months ago; why would you think that now, at the end of its support life, it would change from what it has always been?

On this forum, which is a User to User Community, Adobe employees do not often appear and only very rarely any Adobe reps other than call center employees. And never anybody from Adobe's Market Research Department or, as I think would be a more likely source of legitimate e-mails, an out-sourced market research contractor. So the only "you" who will see this ("If this email is from Adobe you are going to have to talk to this department...") will be people with no more access than you have.

Interestingly, the same seems to be true of Local Adjustments done to a P.V. 3 image in Classic 7.1. Opening a Rad, Grad or Brush adjustment will automatically kick the P.V. to 4, thus enabling the Range Mask.

After seeing this comment by Jeff Schewe in the Luminous Landscape Forum, "Just a quick note that you must have the Process Version set to either Version 3 (2012) or Version 4 (Current) in order to get the new Auto. Previous process versions will kick in the old bad Auto...( http://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=122102.msg1016352#msg1016352 ), I have discovered that clicking on Auto with an old image that is set to P.V. 3 will not only apply the new Basic panel Auto Settings, but also will switch the Process Version setting in the Calibration panel to P.V. 4.

From Scott Kelby's review of the new Auto Settings: "Also, according to Adobe, “If you apply a crop, white balance adjustment, or camera profile changes after applying Auto, Lightroom will re-enable the Auto button. Pressing Auto again will recompute the settings based on the updated image render.” https://lightroomkillertips.com/new-lightroom-updates-today-one-new-features-pretty-awesome/ So maybe a better workflow would be to take care of cropping, WB and profile selection before hitting the Auto button.

Virtual Copies are not real copies. They are not new files written on your disc. They are no more then additional entries in the database file (*.lrcat), a few lines of text associated with the master image's name and denoting alternative edits for that image, that's why they are called "virtual". So they are not stored anywhere other than in the database and have no independent digital life unless they are rendered (exported) as RGB files (psd, tiff or jpg). Rendered images can be viewed in their edited state in apps external to LR. Similarly, only rendered images can be edited in PS. The edited PS version will be automatically imported back into LR's catalog database only if it is "Saved" in PS in the same folder as the original and not "Saved As" in a different folder or with a different name.

1. Are you importing to LR by selecting Copy or Add in the import page (top center)? If the files are already in your hard drive, it should be Add. 2. Where you already have duplicates select a photo in LR Library and right-click on it. Select "Show in Finder". That will show you which of the pair has been imported to LR; delete the other one.

In Develop display a photo. In all the right side panels set the slider positions to what you want the new defaults to be. Be sure to check that all the panels are as you want, because the reset will change anything that has been moved from its Adobe default setting. Press and hold the Alt/Opt key and the Reset button at the bottom right will change to Set Default. Click on it and then confirm that you want to change the defaults to the current settings. The new defaults will be for all cameras of the same model as the one that took the displayed photo. If you have more than one camera of that model, the defaults can be specific to the serial number. Or if you want different defaults for different ISOs, they can be specific to the ISO of the displayed photo. To activate those options go first to Preferences/Presets/Default Develop Settings. You will also find there a button to go back to the Adobe defaults, should you change your mind.

To test where the problem lies, transfer the same files to the same destination folder manually, outside of Lightroom, by using copy-paste or drag and drop. If you can do that, the folder is ok. Then open LR Classic and try importing using the "Add" option in the Import window (top center) which only imports without moving the files.

Adobe has indicated that there will probably be a final update for LR 6 in December (LR 6.14?). I would think it likely that the A7R III will be supported then. It also seems likely that for subscribers there will also be at that time an update to LR Classic 7 with, at the least, the new camera and lens support.

No, you cannot change the defaults of the Import dialog page because the default behavior is neither Move nor Add but rather that the setting is "sticky". I.e., after you have used either Move or Add to do an actual import - used it to import at least one image, not just set the option and then closed the dialog with the Cancel button - on all subsequent openings it will open with that option, until you use another option. The sticky behavior is hard wired into the Import dialog's code and cannot be changed by users like us.

A CR2 file is a single channel of 14 bits per pixel of light intensity data and is compressed. An "8 bit" Tiff has three channels per pixel, each one 8 bits, for a total of 24 bits of color data and is uncompressed unless you choose to compress it. A 16 bit Tiff is twice the size, over 100 MB. You have no need to make Tiffs unless you are planning to do more editing in a second application, more than can be done in LR, in which case a 16 bit Tiff is a better choice because it can retain all the data in the Raw and during editing is less likely to have problems like banding. If you are exporting to a large gamut color space like ProPhoto RGB, 16 bit is essential. If you are not doing secondary editing, all you need to preserve is the original CR2 and your LR catalog plus its backup. You can export Tiff or Jpg renderings at any future time on an "as needed" basis.

@ nicholac89002601 "First noise reduction doesn't show as applied in Fit Screen but does show if I zoom in one to one. I can manage that as when I tried exporting to see if NR had applied - it had. " That has always been the case (I have used LR since Version 2.0 in 2008), with the exception of some camera models and/or ISOs that Adobe considered likely to be strongly noisy. Moreover, Adobe strongly recommends setting both Sharpening and Noise Reduction with the display zoomed to 1:1. "I have since looked at various images where I had used the brush and the little spots on the image that allow you to go back in and edit don't appear." Have you tried pressing the H (for "hide") key?

If you had the standalone LR its version number could not have been 2015.12 since that would have been the previous version of the subscription program. The parallel standalone was LR 6.12 which today or soon will receive its final update to 6.13. Understanding what you have already installed and on what you are clicking and knowing their nomenclatures and contents is always advised.

< I can't do this editing in LR only in PSE9 > I'm sorry, I misunderstood. If the edits cannot be done in LR, you have no choice but to go into PSE and to save output from PSE you have no choice but to make tifs, jpgs or psds. Virtual Copies can only be edited within LR because they are not real copies, only additional lists of editing instructions in the catalog/database.

< I resized the image in PSE9, exported to desktop to import here and it said 'Image type Forbidden'? > It sounds like both LR and this web site's software are not recognizing the file as a legitimate jpg. Are you sure you didn't inadvertently save it as something else? It is easy to make a mistake in the long list of output formats offered by PSE. Or another possibility is that the jpg was written incorrectly or a variant construction was used. The question can easily be answered if you will share the file as requested above. On another note; I strongly recommend using Virtual Copies within LR to preserve alternate edits, rather than cluttering your workflow and hard disc with jpgs.

Be aware that when you switch Process Versions as Joe described, LR will attempt to reproduce in the new version any edits you may have made in the past. However, because PV 2012 contains advanced elements that were not in PV 2010 (and dropped others as obsolete), an exact translation may not always be possible and subsequent tweaking may be needed. Because of this, in 2012 Adobe advised making a Virtual Copy of any of the older photos with whose editing you were entirely satisfied before converting the master.

Yes, it works fine because the crop camera simply sees a smaller central section of the circular image cast by the lens while the full frame sees a bigger section of the same circular image. Within the smaller section the same distortions are present and in the profile they are identified according to their distance from the center and therefore are valid for both cameras. Of course, that wouldn't be true of the opposite case, a profile made on a cropper can't be used for a FF because it would lack data on the outer parts of the FF section.
