The two Auto adjustments (White Point and Black Point) work slightly differently. Both read the current image content and then base their settings on that, but Whites sets the WP just short of clipping and Blacks sets BP with a very slight amount of black clipping (which is generally recommended for good image quality.) Be aware that since their choices are based on an inspection of the image, they will be influenced by what has been set in the four parameters above them (Exposure, Contrast, Highlights and Shadows). Of course, either slider position can be tweaked manually after the Auto setting. Most digital cameras are calibrated to produce a medium grey in the 12-13% grey range at "correct" exposure, which translates to 39 or 40% on the LR histogram; however, if your goal is to create attractive jpgs, I would advise lifting the Exposure setting to the traditional film standard of 18% grey which is 45% in LR, increase of about 0.5 stop.

BTW, it has nothing to do with the shape of the image and everything to do with the age of version 5.7.1 in relation to the age of the camera.

If in the last section at the bottom of the Export dialog, Post-Processing, you have selected Show in Finder, you may want to select Do Nothing instead. If you have a dual-language keyboard and it is not set to English (assuming English interface version of LR), that can interfere with shortcuts. Happens to me frequently.

The tone values (Basic panel) you report sound like Auto Tones are being applied during import. There used to be a check box in Preferences to enable this, but Adobe removed it at some point. I don't remember whether it was still there in 5.7.1 (maybe somebody else knows), but it would be worthwhile to take a look at Preferences.

1. In the Library mode/Grid view, select the photo(s) you want to edit. 2. Open the Develop mode. 3. Open the Crop Overlay tool (the first of the six icons beneath the histogram). 4. Open the aspect ratio drop-down menu by clicking on the double arrow next to the word "Original". 5. Select "1X1" and adjust the square overlay box to include as much of the image as you want by making the box smaller by pulling in the corners and/or moving (dragging) the image. 6. Close the Crop tool by clicking on the icon again. 7. Do any other editing you may wish to do in the Develop mode. 8. From the File menu, select Export. 9. In the dialog window that opens: a. In Export Location, set the folder where the edited version will be saved. b. File Settings, set JPEG, Quality 70 - 90, Color Space sRGB (Lightroom cannot export images in CMYK space). c. Image Sizing, check the Resize box and set Dimensions / 2400x2400 pixels. Resolution can be whatever you like, it is largely irrelevant. d. Output Sharpening, Sharpen for / Screen, Amount / Standard. 10. Click on the "Export" button at the bottom of the window.

The LG USB DVD Writer is supplied with an installation disc for CyberLink Media Suite for Windows. Either this or alternative software must be installed for the device to write data to disc. I have one and I use it with Windows 10 ( either directly or through LR 2015.12) with no problems.

Lightroom purchased in 2012 would have been LR 4. You can download it from here: Download Photoshop Lightroom but you will need your serial number to activate it; I hope you saved it somewhere. If you registered LR at the time of the original installation (which was optional), you will find the serial number in your Adobe account.

"You see that when I export there are no user presets shown in the export dialogue box as per my originally attached image, even though within the Develop module I have presets?" You are confusing Export Presets and Develop Presets. The screen capture is of the Export dialog and the presets indexed in the left side panel of that dialog are Export Presets; in other words, preset values for the various Export parameters that can be set in that dialog, such as color space, file format, pixel dimensions, destination folder, etc. They have nothing to do with the image processing done in the Develop Mode, for which there may or may not be Develop Presets which preset Develop parameters.

"The RGB values are percentages and the colour space is a variation of Pro Photo RGB. Therefore, not sure how your printer will make use of it." You would need to put LR into Soft Proof mode and soft proof to a printer profile supplied by your printer (a profile specific to his machine) before making the readings and then export the image in the color space he requests.

Three ways occur to mind immediately: 1. In the LR Export Dialog set the output format for the tiff as jpg, select a location. 2. Don't send the tiff back to LR if you have PSCC, use the CR filter, reduce to 8 bits and Save As a jpg. 3. Send the the Raw to PS as a Smart Object. Rasterize it. Edit as you will. Flatten. Reduce to 8 bits. Save as jpg.

This is a case of not just the lack of an embedded profile, but rather - as John noted above - in the image posted here there is an almost total lack of metadata although the OP says that the Export dialog was set to include most metadata. Even such basic Exif information as camera maker and model or capture date has been stripped. This makes me wonder what happened to the file after it was written by LR. I have heard of ISPs that strip metadata to narrow bandwidth and shorten upload time.

Export them (the edited jpgs) to any place, most convenient is a folder on your desktop. Call it Slide Show Prep Stop. Drag the images in the desired order from that SSPS folder to the app; once the slide show is set up in final form you can deep-six the SSPS

Aside from the ppi box being at 3000, which is entirely irrelevant to anything but printing, and not much to that either nowadays where actual pixel dimensions count -not archaic tags, your Detail panel settings are mind-boggling; Masking at 100 so that only the most extremely contrasty edges receive any real sharpening and of the other 95% of the image, maybe 10% receives inadequate sharpening and all the rest receives not even half enough to constitute "capture" sharpening to counteract the loss caused by the anti-alias filter in front of the sensor. Additionally, the Luma NR setting is at 100, a value that very few properly exposed modern cameras require at 1600 ISO. Between the two, a near total destruction of all image micro-detail is inevitable. Skin blemishes should be treated locally with the Spot Healing tool or with judicious local use of the Local Adjustment Brush tool - but not global tools like extreme NR and no sharpening to restrain it. And you should always set your sharpening and NR with the display at 100% (1:1) zoom. Not because others will see the image from that perspective, but because only that way can you know what the tools are doing.

May I ask what Canon camera you are using? Because my 80D does not act this way. It crops to 9:16 only if that is the setting in the camera firmware (Shoot 4 menu > Aspect Ratio) and it makes no difference whether the shot is taken through the optical viewfinder or by using Live View. If the Aspect Ratio setting is 2:3, the Live View shot is always uncropped, as is, of course, the eye-level viewfinder shot. Your camera may be different, but the blanket statement, "So someone at Canon decided that all shots made in live view should be cropped to 16:9," definitely does not apply to all Canons. OTOH, having the aspect ratio guide lines visible in the viewfinders is a convenience that I often use if I know that part of my final output will be in that ratio, because shooting Raw means that I am not irrevocably committed to the crop. Maybe your wife is changing the camera setup to 9:16.

Apparently you registered it all those years ago (2007?, 2008?) using a different Adobe ID. The site software has no way of knowing you are the same person unless you can get back to that original account. Call support.

> "So let me get this straight - I bought a personal license for Lightroom 5.7. " No, you did not. You bought a license for Lightroom 5; the first version of which, 5.0, was released in June 2013. It was supported and updated until the final update, 5.7.1, in Dec., 2014. A year and a half, about average for Lightroom versions 1 - 5. So now, after more than another two years, you are complaining because this nearly four years old software is not being updated with new camera support - despite the fact that the DNG Converter is essentially indirect support.

"-So, am I correct in thinking that I must make another set of profiles with the various 6300 and lens combinations and the color checker, as the custom corrections are specific to lens/camera combinations?" They are certainly specific to the camera. Regarding the lenses, since they are both Sony lenses I would expect Sony to maintain reasonable uniformity of color transmission (the .dcp profiles characterize color capture by the sensor in a given illumination, not lens optical aberrations) but since you are already making new profiles you might as well do it with both lenses.

I find that the easiest way to do this is to designate the collection as the "Target Collection" either when creating the collection or later with a right-click on the collection name. Then a press on the B key will add any images that have been selected in the grid to the collection.

I can reproduce the behavior you describe if three conditions are fulfilled: 1. In Lightroom Preferences you have set External Editing/Edit in Photoshop CC 2017>TIFF 2. In Camera Raw Preferences you have set JPG and TIFF Handling/TIFF>Automatically open all supported TIFFs 3. When, because of a bug, LR 2015.10 opens a notice asking you to "Render in Lightroom" or "Open Anyway", and you select "Render in LR". In order to break this chain, change one or more of the above. Or simply wait until the bug is repaired, which will probably happen soon because it has been very widely reported. However, until that happens it would be best to choose "Open Anyway" and to check the box which will prevent the notice showing again and normal behavior will be restored. Normal behavior means that LR does not send a rendered Tiff to PS but rather sends editing data to Camera Raw which does not open its UI and works in the background rendering and feeding to PS the rasterized bitmap RGB image which you will later save as a Tiff in the source folder. Or you can change #1 to PSD so that it will not activate #2 or change #2.

Using the DNG Profile Editor (free download from Adobe) you can edit an existing profile for the D5200 to taste, thus creating a new profile. For my Canon 80D I have a variation on the Adobe Standard profile, because in recent years Adobe has changed the rendering of the Adobe Standard profile and I wanted a version that is more similar to the profiles for older cameras. There are also sites that sell profiles, such as PSKiss.com. LR and ACR know which profiles to load from the thousands included in the installed application by inspecting the image Exif and matching it to the camera designation in the .dcp file(s). Since a dcp can be opened and edited in a simple text reader like Notepad, I suppose that you could change the camera ID in a copy of the profile in order to make it load for a different camera, although I have never tried it.

So far as I know, no URL appears in the metadata of an image exported from Lightroom, unless you have chosen to put it there, in the IPTC section for instance, and it would be the URL that you have written out. I can't imagine why you would insert there the URL of your Adobe account (which requires a password anyways). After the image has been uploaded to a social media site, the only URL involved would be the address of the site's page in which the image is embedded and would not lead anywhere else. It would be in the page metadata, not the image metadata. Some sites allow the poster the option to show a link to another site, such as a personal web site, but again, this is at your discretion and not written to the image's metadata.

Camera profiles (found in the Calibration panel) are specific to the camera model, even though the profiles may have the same name listed in the Calibration menu. Thus, for instance, every camera has an Adobe Standard profile and the latest version of LR (6.10 / 2015.10) contains 625 Adobe Standard profiles, each one for a different camera. In addition, LR may supply other profiles which are Adobe's imitations of the profiles in the camera maker's firmware for that camera. Again, they are specific to that model. DNG Camera Profiles (.dcp) control the way colors in images from that camera are rendered in LR. >"I am wondering if the same newer Camera Calibration Profiles available to the Sony RX100 V are also available to the older Tamron 18-270." Again, .dcp profiles are for cameras, without regard for the lens in front of it. Lens profiles are something different, they correct optical aberrations in a lens and are, therefore, specific to a particular lens - although there may be two versions for interchangeable lenses with different mounts. From what I see on the web, the RX100 V does not have an interchangeable lens; you cannot use the Tamron lens on it. So there would be no reason or sense in applying the Tamron's Lens Correction Profile (.lcp) to an image from the RX100 V, especially since a profile for the built-in lens is already automatically applied. And .dcp files for the RX100 V can't be used on another camera, no matter what lens is mounted on it.

The fact that your exported image size is exactly the same pixel dimensions as those of Smart Previews strongly suggests you are exporting from the S.P. and not the original out-of- camera file. The dimension 2560 on the long side is unusual enough that a coincidence is unlikely. A possible scenario - during import you inadvertently checked the "Make Smart Previews" in the right side panel on the Import page; at some later time the original files were moved using another application, or the drive they are on became disconnected from the computer, or the names (of the files or the drive) were changed or they were deleted. From that moment you were editing Smart Previews without paying attention to the notice under the histogram.

So far as I know the removal of dead pixels is integrated into the Raw demosaicer algorithm - dead (and therefore black) pixels are disregarded if they deviate by a certain threshold from the values of their neighboring pixels. During import the only thing that happens, other than data entry to the catalog, is the processing of previews, but since they are themselves demosaiced color renditions, the dead pixels will have been removed. And during export the Raw data is again rendered, beginning with demosaicing. But since jpgs and other already rendered RGB images do not undergo this preliminary processing, dead pixels would not be removed.
