For me it is only conjecture. I am not 'in the know', but I suspect the only options remaining for the few with v5 & 6 will be- 1) Request Adobe to provide an installer for v13.2 or earlier. 2) Rely on  saving metadata to XMP that maintains an edited state only.     ... View more

1) Adobe changed the database structure in v13.3 that makes it incompatible with Lr 5 & 6 catalogs. 2) To upgrade a Lr6 catalog- it can only be done with Lr-Classic v13.2 or below. 3) To install a version of Lr-Classic v13 ( 13.2 or below) it is done in the Creative Cloud Desktop App by-   a) Click the [...] More Actions icon b) Choose [Other versions] c) Select any one from  13.2 or lower (even 13.0)   4) Upgrade the Lr6 catalog by opening it with LrC v13 5) Re-install v14.0.1 6) Again upgrade the Catalog  v13 > v14   (Note: catalog name does not change) 7)  Rename your catalog in the [File] menu.       ...

Check Adobe Help pages- Learn how to use Adobe redemption codes and product codes to activate your apps   If you already have the same plan or product, and redeem with the same Adobe account:   If your payment plan is Annual plan, paid monthly, Adobe stops charging your credit card after you redeem the code. After the redemption code subscription term expires, Adobe resumes charging your credit card. If your payment plan is Annual plan, prepaid, the redemption code term is added to the end of the paid subscription term. If you redeem a different plan with the same Adobe account: Your subscription runs parallel to your existing paid subscription. For example, consider a scenario where you have an existing subscription to the Creative Cloud Photography plan with 20 GB of storage. However, you have a redemption code for the Creative Cloud All Apps plan. In this case, if you redeem the redemption code, your subscription to Creative Cloud All Apps runs concurrently with the existing Creative Cloud Photography plan.   ... View more

Upgrading a v6 catalog to v14 will give you a warning message that the upgrade cannot find a .LRCAT-DATA file. This is as expected. Lr6 did not use .LRCAT-DATA files. Be sure you have saved backups of the v6 catalog and try the upgrade again. Note that an upgraded catalog does not change the catalog name (so a v14 catalog might still be called 'Lightroom Catalog v6.)   ... View more

(I have no recent experience with current NIK apps. Following is how the earlier NIK versions worked! ) Lightroom-Desktop does not allow the use of Plugins, but you can use the NIK apps in several ways.   1) Select an image and go FILE > Edit in > BROWSE  (to the Nik App/feature you want in Applications. Windows users would browse for the .exe app file.)   2) Select an image and [Edit in Photoshop], Convert the background layer to a Smart Object Apply a NIK filter  eg. FILTER > NIK Collection > Silver Efex Make adjustments to the image in NIK and [Save] * *This method has the great advantage that the NIK adjustments are preserved in the Photoshop TIF file as a Smart Filter that can always be re-opened and the NIK settings (in the Smart Filter) changed as desired.   3) Export an image from the Lightroom-Desktop Library to a local drive Start the wanted NIK app (as independent app) Open the exported image with the NIK app, FILE > Open Images... (In Windows I can [Open With] and choose a NIK app.) Save the edited image from Nik, and IMPORT the new file to Lightroom-Desktop.           ... View more

A couple of ideas come to my mind-   *In the Print module- Create a 'Custom Package' by adding any number of cells that you want (Resize and relocate as wanted) *Design an ID Plate with text or a graphic to add anywhere on the print page.

Or make use of the Mogrify Plugin to add text to an exported image.

Using the correct terminology is needed to understand problems like this. Can you explain more your statements-  and provide some updated screen-clips of the Lr-Classic Folder panel with some image previews included, and Windows view of the same folders, including error messages. "photos don't appear in the ‘CapsFix’ folder" - With the 'Fix' procedure the files are not physically moved to the {CapsFix} folder. It is only a virtual database change until the correct folder is restored in the database with the [Update Folder location] action performed a second time. [Update Folder location] does not actually move the files physically. "Lr moves them to the library" - What is meant by this?  All photos are referenced in the Lr-Classic "Library". Can you be more specific. "in Windows they remain in the main folder." - What is the 'main folder'? Do you see any 'Missing' folders with the [ ? ] in the LrC folder panel?   Sorry to see your problem continuing. It is difficult to work a seemingly complicated procedure by posts in the forum, and perhaps I am not helping with my explanations.   Thinking of your original problem with two {RAW} folders, your fix procedure should have been- 1)  Create a {CapsFix} folder (visible in the LrC folder panel) 2)  Select the errant / out of place {RAW} folder, and [Update Folder location] to the {CapsFix} folder 3)  Select the {CapsFix} folder, and [Update Folder location] to the correct {RAW} folder.

My eyes are not seeing ghosting in your (latest) screen-clips, unless your red outline is hiding a sharp difference. I accept that the 'AI Remove' tool may not be perfect. Have you done an [ Update AI Settings ]? I tried checking colour values (on your screen-clips) with the 'info' tool in Photoshop and get  almost exact same colour values both inside and outside your drawn circles. Perhaps to a Photoshop expert there may be a visible difference but I don't see it. I do occasionally experience that tools in the 'Remove' group, Heal, etc, do not work well in Lightroom if the selected area is on an image edge boundary (as you show). The Remove tools in Photoshop may work better that Lightroom & ACR. But I am out of ideas, sorry.  Keep you thread active and you may get better answers from others.       ... View more

"If I try to drag it inside, Lr tells me that it will physically move the files inside the disk. Can I drag anyway?" That would seem logical to me to do a move of the folder (Which includes the files). If the files & Folders appear in FIle Explorer exactly the same as the LrC Folder panel then all is well. Moving folders in the LrC panel by Drag&Drop will use Windows OS to make the move that is reflected in LrC. I hope you are getting it sorted.     ... View more

Best I can make from your screen-clips is that you have managed to 'combine' the two {RAW} folders with the fix procedure. If the {RAW} folder is now on the wrong drive ( D: ) then you can drag & drop the folder -in the LrC folder panel.!- so it will move folder and files on to the ( C: ) drive. The 'Capitalisation error' is a confusing problem when first experienced, but although the 'fix' works, some folder management is still required.   ... View more

I assumed you are using Adobe Camera Raw (or Lightroom) for the editing (prior to opening in Photoshop). My post expressed the recommended order in which you do development steps in ACR or Lightroom. eg. if you do an AI sky mask first, then later do some AI healing or Remove, you might see 'ghosting' where you use the Remove tool.   ...

"When I remove any objects from the area in the sky, there is always a shadow left" See the recommendation from Rikk FLohr- "The recommended order for applying edits is: Denoise  Heal (includes Generative AI Remove) Crop (includes traditional Cropping, Lens Correction, Transform, or any operation changing the geometry of the image, including round-tripping to PS to use Gen-Expand) Global Edits AI Selective edits (Sky, Person, etc) If you deviate from that, you may see the removed object remain as a ghost image. If this occurs, you will have to use Update AI Settings, which can be found under the Develop module 'Settings' menu." Rikk Flohr: Adobe Photography Org     ... View more

Based on seeing two {RAW} folders in your folder panel, I would have to suggest -"It's the old "capitalisation" problem, caused by Lightroom being case-sensitive, and the OS generally being case-insensitive.

TBMK From Lightroom-Desktop  Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop will always (directly) open the image in photoshop as TIFF. I never see options "edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments or the original file" when I [Edit In Adobe Photoshop] - Those options sound like they refer to Lightroom-Classic.   Instead you could [Share...] as 'Original + Settings'  (ie. the raw file ) to your computer, then in Mac Finder [Open] the file in Photoshop.

"no way to access the detailed export panel from previous versions?" Not sure why you would ask this. TBMK the 'Custom' options have always been available in all versions of Lightroom-Desktop. And what is your purpose for "trim down my file sizes"? Are you referring to Exported images or your original files in the Lightroom Cloud? "Would downsizing in this way make the image less ideal for printing?" That depends. By stating [Custom Dimensions] and [PPI] you will ALWAYS be re-sampling the image. That re-sampling may upscale the image, or it may reduce it (downsize). ie pixels are either added or removed from the image. I would suggest that any re-sampling is "less ideal".  Leave the exported image at the 'native' pixel dimensions of the original for most printing. Simply use [JPG LARGE  Fill Size 100%] and you will get the best IMO.   ... View more

"Borderless" is a property of the Printer Setup. You need a printer that will print borderless. Otherwise you would print with page background (White or Color). Printing 4up at 4.25x5.5inches is going to need paper like 10x12inch as your four 4.25x5.5inch images are larger than an A4 or 8x10in page. You are in 'Picture Package' mode which prints the one photo in all cells on a page (ideal for printing multiple cards.).  Each additional photo selected on the filmstrip will print to a new separate page. When you add a photo cell to a page you can set its dimensions to 4.25x5.5inch [Adjust Selected Cell:].  You need to do this for each individual cell.  (Photo Border and Inner Stroke are options.) If you photos have not been cropped to the 4.25 x 5.5 RATIO then you would need to check the [Zoom to Fill] option that will match the 4.25 x 5.5inch cell (and possibly automatically crop some of your photo.). If the 'Fill' does remove some of the image, you can drag the photo in the cell with the mouse shile holding down the [Ctrl] key, for the image you want to print.       ... View more

Hi @Ashli38417458p0u2   I cringe when I see words like "I had them saved to lightroom" (and what Version of "Lightroom" is that?)  because image files are NOT saved to Lightroom-Classic.  When you Import images to the catalog from a hard-drive the Lr-Classic Catalog simply makes a reference to those files in their existing location (on a hard-drive).  If you Import from a camera card they will be copied to a hard-drive and also referenced in the catalog. Image files are never  'in Lightroom'. Lr-Classic only ever contains a database of previews for the original files on your hard-drives.   BIG problem:  If you deleted the disk the original files were stored on then your only hope is to restore them from a  backup of those files, or restore from the camera card it it has not been formatted. If not possible, those photos are 'gone'.   'After the update the entire album just disapeared."-  If there are no previews showing in the catalog (totally empty) then the upgrade may have created a new empty catalog (It does happen to some). Search your computer for other catalog files (File-type .LRCAT ). With more details of you system and what you are seeing you may get further advice.   ... View more
