"Are you saying you can change order after it's saved. And in Library module?" Definitely not an 'Exported' rendered video of the slideshow, but, Yes- In a Collection, that being a special Saved Slideshow Collection, you can custom order the images (before you play or finally export the video). A 'Saved Slideshow Collection' is not only a list of your SS photos but it also stores all the design and layout you have used for that SS. The Saved Slidshow Collection can be viewed in Grid view [G] (like any other standard collection) where you can sort the images in a Custom Order. Return to the Slideshow module layout by- a) [Ctrl+Alt+5] , or b) [Double-click] on the Saved SS Collection, or c) [Click] on the small arrow at the end of the SS Collection when you hover the cursor over the Collection name.   If you close Lr-Classic and later re-open LrC to return to the same Slideshow you must return to the slideshow by opening the Saved SS Collection (NOT from the top module menu!).   ...

@sarabt98  All your photos show the exclamation mark that indicates Lr-Classic has lost the location of the original files. In Lr-Classic terms they are "Missing". You need to relink Folders and/or photos in the catalog library. See these links for advice on doing this: MISSING FILES & FOLDERS (Lightroom Queen) MISSING FILES AND FOLDERS-(Computer Darkroom)     ... View more

As another user of the Lightroom-Desktop app might I make suggestions? You cannot " open from Windows file system or Adobe Bridge with a double-click...." Lightroom is an unconventional app that uses a Cloud based catalog library, and a [double-click] will only ask you to Import an image to the Library (Which you can only do once!). "Lightroom" should not be marked as the default app to open image files of any type (this fixes it!).   As for finding an image in the Lr libtrary interface that has been previously imported, and continue editing- I suggest you make a "Working" ALBUM that you can add the photos you are currently wanting to work on, hence easily found by selecting the Album. You can have >1 Album in a Folder for several categories of photos (eg. client jobs). Or use the Keyword facility to rapidly find images with a keyword.   OTOH There is the 'Local' mode in Lightroom where a simple browser interface allows you to select a local image on a connected drive to edit in Lr.       ...

I believe You will need Lightroom-Classic or Photoshop to create calendars I Google searched for calendar templates and one that came up was a calendar script by Jeffrey Friedl for Photoshop (who has been a trusted prolific plugin writer for Lightroom apps). Not a recent blog but may still work- https://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/calendar Matt Koslowski offered 2025 templates. Maybe 2026 sometime? https://mattk.com/2025-lightroom-and-photoshop-calendar-templates/ Do a Googly search for Calendar templates.     ... View more

Because the 'Lightroom' apps are in the  'Parametric raw editor' class they do not have the ability to move pixels around (as does Photoshop), and likely never will. You would need to change to a subscription (Contact Adobe) that includes Photoshop - the Photography Plan 1TB  (@ BUY PHOTOGRAPHY PLANS ), or have another 'Pixel based' editor. eg. Photoshop Elements, and many others (not Adobe).   ... View more

I illustrate from Lightroom on my PC (same as the Mac version)- When you Share/Export an image choose 'Custom Settings' where you can check the box for a watermark and click on the cog-wheel for text or graphic options. You can create your signature (PNG or JPG) graphic and be creative in Photoshop.   ... View more
