Hi SMK, Photos don't reside IN the Lightroom catalog. The catalog only contains information about your photos. It references your photos wherever you have chosen to store them on your hard drive. People get confused because LR actually does store three "previews" of your photos - JPEG copies - a small thumbnail, a screensize one, and a full size one - this is why you can "see" your photos in LR even when LR says that it can't find your files.  To your question about how to move folders in a way that they don't go missing, it's easy once you know how: do this from within Lightroom using the Folders panel - in a nutshell, click and drag. Since you're doing these operations from within Lightroom, it doesn't lose track of your images. (If you do this outside of LR, LR can't see you do it, so it does lose track.)  I move photos and folders all the time using Lightroom's Folders panel, and I teach this as well.  This video tutorial will give you all the file management skills you'll likely need for photos that you have imported, and I promise it will be worth 20 minutes of your time - it's one of the most important lessons I teach. You say that for a particular project you have a catalog with a few folders. For most people I recommend that they have just one catalog, and that they import ALL of their photos into it. Then if you want to pull together a specific subset of them for a project, use collections. Here's a page on my Lightroom blog that has several articles and video tutorials for Lightroom beginners - do check it out.  I hope this helps - feel free to respond with questions. ... View more

I'm going to move this thread to the Lightroom mobile forum so that you'll be more likely to get mobile expertise (in case I can't figure out your issue.) For future reference, please consider on your next post using a post title that's more descriptive of your issue -  people that seek to help users often scan post titles for those that they have expertise in. ...

I'll assume that by "calibrate", you mean "edit" - if not, please describe in more detail. You're saying that if you edit on your Android phone, the edits don't show on your iPad?  Do they show in the LR CC Desktop application or in LR Web or in LR Classic? ... View more

Regarding what software version you should be using, Lightroom Classic CC (version 7.5) is the newer version of what you have - you are already paying for it with your subscription. To upgrade, open the Adobe CC app, and click on Upgrade (or Update possibly) next to Lightroom Classic CC. It's generally straightforward, but hHere's a video tutorial covering the entire upgrade process, with coverage of what could possibly go wrong and how to resolve these issues. ... View more

Hi Reyoneshophoto, we don't understand what you mean by "color profile". What exactly have you done and what is not working as you expect - for example, are you referring to the profiles that are selected at the top of the Basic panel, and if so, what happens when you click on one and why isn't it what you expect?  The Calibration panel is an advanced panel that very few users use or need to use - what are you seeking to do with it? ...

I would suggest not reformatting or reusing your memory cards until photos from them have synced to the cloud - otherwise you have no backup if your hard drive crashes before the sync is done. ... View more

Hi Fred, Export with Previous applies all of the settings last used in Export, including hard drive location. If you want your JPEGs stored in the same folder as the raw files, then next time you export, change the "Export to:" dropdown choice to "Same Folder as Original." After this you'll be able to continue to use Export with Previous (if you're OK with all other settings you used before.) ... View more

Before you do this, you might want to go into LR Classic Preferences, and on the Lightroom Sync tab towards the bottom, specify where you want these photos stored - in what folder on what hard drive, and whether you want them automatically organized into date folders. If you don't, you can always move them later using the Folders panel to drag and drop, but it saves you that step. ... View more

What do you mean you want to use brushes? Lightroom CC has essentially the same brush for making local/selective edits that Lightroom Classic has, and almost the same complete set of editing tools (though not the same set of supporting edit features. To work with an image in both: assuming that Lightroom CC is your starting point and your image is there, open Lightroom Classic, enable syncing by clicking on the logo area in the top left and making sure it's turned on. Your LR CC photos will appear in Lightroom Classic and work you do in one will sync to the other.  However, there can be complexities in using both and it is not generally recommended, so be sure to do more research on this topic (Google "can i use both Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic"). Since you're a beginner, I would suggest instead first spending time learning one of the programs well. ... View more

I'm really sorry I didn't see your response, Alejandro.  First, are you (or Noah) doing anything that might create corruption, like storing your catalog in Dropbox and using it on a second computer before you close LR on the first and it finishes syncing from the first, or storing your catalog on an external drive and ejecting the drive with LR open? Regarding previous backups, before 7.3.1 LR was corrupting some catalog backups, so Noah, be sure you've updated (to 7.4 now). Since otherwise it's outside of my area of expertise and if no one else responds here, I'd suggest posting over on Lightroom Queen Forums or on the Adobe bug/feedback site. ... View more

I think there is probably some option chosen in Import that is not chosen in the default for your other catalog. Do you have Make a Second Copy checked and if so, is that accessible with read/write permissions accessible? If not, I'd be interested in seeing a screenshot of the Import dialog in the catalog with the issue and the one without, importing the exact same files. If we can't sort it out, then perhaps if you call Customer Service they can work through it hands-on. ... View more

Here's the best of both worlds: assign stars to the original collection. Filter on 5 stars, select all photos, then create the collection and in the Create Collection dialog choose "Include Selected Photos".  That way you can use the collection for your project (and then delete it if no longer needed), and you have stars assigned to your photos as well. ...

But I didn't address your "without losing the raw color depth". You really can't preserve the file as a raw file (if this is what you mean). LR let's you open the file as a smart object in PS (Edit in>Open as Smart Object), but you have to rasterize the layer (i.e. convert it to a pixel layer) in order to remove the background. It's therefore best that you do some initial work in LR, taking advantage of the raw format, particularly white balance and preservation of highlights and shadows, before you create your Photoshop file. ...
