Re: Folders in workspace gone

I wrote previously: Also take this opportunity to create a new catalog folder with only the files and folders you need. The default location is in the Pictures folder in you user account – I suggest that you put the folder directly under C – C:\Lightroom Catalog – for easy access. If you use the v13-3 catalog, move v13-3.lrcat-data and v13-3 Helper.lrdata to the folder. You should add the preview cache as well – I cannot see it in your screenshots, but it will be named v13-3 Previews.lrdata. Once everything is in place, double-click the catalog file to launch LrC, and it will upgrade the catalog to version 14. You want a catalog folder with only the files and folders necessary. Having other stuff in it leads to clutter and confusion. I failed to mention that you should extract the catalog file to the new folder, but I did in my next post. To keep it simple, do not add any other files than the ones extracted from the backup, it should work. LrC will create the other required files and folders. But you really need a new catalog folder, your current folder is a mess. And LrC doesn't care where the catalog folder is located. To create a new folder under C, right click C, choose New > Folder.

Launching LrC directly from the Backup folder is bound to create problems and confusion, and I strongly advise against it. Creating a new folder and moving the appropriate files and folders to it is very simple, and will save you from problems and frustration later on. Try the following procedure, which may also fix the permissions issue: Right click the Zip file containing the backed up catalog, and choose Extract All ... In the dialog that appears, navigate to the new folder you just created.

That's a very interesting and unexpected solution. I'll mark your post as Correct answer. Good luck with your projects!

Before deleting old backups, you have to make a decision about what catalog you are going to use - v13-3 or v14. If you haven't been able to locate the v14 catalog, you could in theory delete all v14 backups, but to be on the safe side, keep the two latest ones. Also keep the two latest v13-3 backups. To verify the version of the backups, you'll have click on the folder and look at the name of the catalog file. Backups should never be kept on the same drive as the catalog (if the drive fails, you've lost everything), so I suggest that you from now on save backups on the external SSD. Create a folder named Lightroom catalog backups (or similar), and set LrC to save backups there. You set this up in the catalog settings. (Edit > Catalog settings) Also take this opportunity to create a new catalog folder with only the files and folders you need. The default location is in the Pictures folder in you user account – I suggest that you put the folder directly under C – C:\Lightroom Catalog – for easy access. If you use the v13-3 catalog, move v13-3.lrcat-data and v13-3 Helper.lrdata to the folder. You should add the preview cache as well – I cannot see it in your screenshots, but it will be named v13-3 Previews.lrdata. Once everything is in place, double-click the catalog file to launch LrC, and it will upgrade the catalog to version 14.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 645 is 12 years old, and doesn't meet the LrC system requirements. It only has 1 GB RAM, the minimum required is 2 GB. Even 2 GB is very little, I would recommend 8 GB or more. Many actions in LrC are now GPU assisted, and Denoise runs entirely in the GPU.

I uninstalled the photoshop and reinstalled it. After that I can't open files Raw.Me I go to my adobe account and the raw camera doesn't appear to reinstall it. Can someone tell me what I can do and why this is so???. The Bridge does appear to me. By @Margarita308320643e4y What exactly happens when you try to open raw files? Any error message?

Searched for "Lightroom Catalog-v14-1.lrcat" in This PC also in my remote SSD. This is what came up. I see a folder, but no file in that folder by that name. By @NSCORP - Mark The .lrcat.data folder does not contain the catalog file, it sits next to the .lrcat.data folder, see the screenshot below. Your v14-1 catalog file seems to be gone, so you have to restore it from a backup. If you have not been making backups (it's mandatory), you'll have to open your newest catalog, which is v13-3.lrcat. Backups are stored as Zip files in folders with date names. Create a new folder, give it a name, (like Lightroom Catalog), and unzip the zip file to this folder. Then double-click the catalog file to launch LrC. Also, while looking around, it seems my internal harddrive is suddenly full (47GB/ 1TB left). In searching for the main culprits, it turns out to be Lightroom Catalogs. Could it be that my laptop just choked? Can I delete some of these? You are critically low on space, and should deal with this before doing anything else. A system drive should have at least 20% free space, preferably more, which means that you should have at least 200 GB free. The Lightroom Catalogs are only a few GB, and are not the main culprits. If all your photos are on the C drive, you should move them to an external drive. LrC will then report them as missing, and you will need to relink them. See https://www.lightroomqueen.com/lightroom-photos-missing-fix/ and https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/ The relinking will be easier if you have exactly the same folder structure on the external drive as on the internal.

The image opens fine at my end in ACR 17.2 on Windows 10– by double-clicking it in the File explorer, from Bridge, and using Photoshop (26.3) File > Open. I can import it in LrC, and I also opened it in RawDigger, which did not report any issues with the file. I made a copy of the registry earlier and hunted down every instance of rw2, photoshop, cameraraw that I could find and deleted the registry keys. I can restore it, but wondering if something needs to be a 1 value instead of a 0 as are most of the keys that I did wipe. I liken the registry (for me) to playing a musical composition and making adjustments without knowing music theory. The results certainly can work, but I have no idea what I am doing and dependent on rational deduction based on what I can remember at the time. I have no experience with editing the registry, but the general advice is to leave it alone unless you know what your're doing. So you should definitely restore it. Although it might not make any difference, you should update Camera Raw to 17.2. Let us know how it goes.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 22, 2025

The first five files are Lightroom catalogs with the .lrcat extension, but you have Windows set to hide file extensions, so extensions are not showing. The catalog currently open is "Lightroom Catalog", which the smallest of your catalogs, and probably the oldest. You have a folder named "Lightroom Catalog-v14-1.lrcat.data", but the associated catalog file is not visible in the screenshot. This is most likely the catalog you want, and it will be named "Lightroom Catalog-v14-1.lrcat". See if it is listed under File > Open recent in LrC, if not, do a search for it, but don't limit the search to the Lightroom folder, search in Pictures, and the whole C drive if necessary. Maybe you moved it accidentally. If you find it, move it back to the Lightroom folder. Also, I strongly recommend that you set Windows to show file extensions in the File explorer.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 22, 2025

Do you still see the banding when viewing the image at 100%? And would you mind sharing an exported DNG file from the original? The DNG will contain all the edits you have done to the image, which might help troubleshooting. If the DNG is smaller than 48 MB, you should be able to attach it. Otherwise, use Dropbox or some other file sharing service, and post the link here.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 21, 2025

Would you mind sharing a couple of these files (one tiff and one dng), so we could examine them? You'll have to use Dropbox or some other file sharing service and post the link here.

A 16-bit 3648 x 3648 tiff without compression will be 76 MB. A 16-bit 1139 x 1139 tiff without compression will be 7.42 MB. So this is perfectly normal. You set compression in the export dialog. For 16-bit tiffs, the options are None and ZIP.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 21, 2025

What are the pixel dimensions and bit depth (8 or 16) of the 76 MB files? What are the pixel dimensions and bit depth (8 or 16) of the 8 MB files? Do you always use the same compression setting when exporting?

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 21, 2025

Please provide a lot more details. What happens when you try? Does nothing happen at all, or do you see the progress bar for the backup process?

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 20, 2025

The Windows file explorer is not color managed, and an not be expected to display correct colors. Irfanview is not color managed by default, but color management can be enabled in Options > Properties/Settings. Note that the embedded profile does not have to match the RGB working space. The embedded profile will override the working space, and color management ensures that correct colors are displayed. Colors will be converted from the embedded profile to the monitor profile. If Photoshop and Bridge display wrong colors, this could be caused by defective monitor profile, or a bug in the GPU driver. To begin with, try setting the monitor profile to sRGB (use Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor). If this fixes the issue, you should ideally calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator. This will also create and install a custom monitor profile that contains an accurate description of your monitor's color response. Close all color managed applications. (PS, Bridge etc.) Press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl in the box and press Enter. Add the sRGB (or Adobe RGB) profile, then set it as default.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 19, 2025

I suspect that the image does not have an embedded profile (untagged). Open the image in Photoshop, and choose Document profile from the flyout menu in the bottom left corner or the window. What does it say? Proofing to monitor RGB disables color management, and just sweeps the problem under the carpet.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 19, 2025

I'm pretty sure that the rendering has not changed. If it had, Adobe would have announced it, or it would at least have come up here on the forums. You are the only person reporting this issue, so it's something particular to your install, or to your catalog, or to your previews. I have Lightroom 6 installed, and for the same image it displays the same Temp and Tint values as 14.2. Can you confirm that Library and Develop display identically – with the same (wrong) colors? And do the histograms look identical? Can you also confirm that any file that you import (also files you haven't imported before) display with correct colors?

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 19, 2025

You have replied to a six year old thread. Please create your own thread (click the button that says Post to community), and tell us what operating system and version you are running, as well as the version of Lightroom Classic. Also please post screenshots that illustrate the problem. Do not attach screenshots, use the Insert Photos button in the toolbar to insert them in your post.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 19, 2025

I have never seen or heard of anything like this, and I have no idea what's going on. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is to try resetting the preferences. I doubt it will have any effect, but it's worth trying. Use method 3 described on this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/reset-preferences.html Do images display with a magenta cast in both Library and Develop? And do you see identical histograms in Library and Develop?

This is how the image displays on my computer in LrC 14.2, no magenta tint. If I understand you correctly, the image displays with a magenta tint in LrC after upgrading, but if you import it again, it displays correctly. Is that right? Please post a screenshot like the one I did, with the same image (the original CR3 file) displaying with a magenta tint. Make sure that the History panel is visible and expanded on the left, and the histogram and Basic panel are visible and expanded on the right. Do not attach the screenshot, please use the Insert Photos button in the toolbar to insert it directly in your post.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 18, 2025

Would you mind sharing one of the magenta files? Export it as DNG, which will include all the edits. Before exporting, make sure that the topmost (latest) entry in the History panel is selected. If the file is less than 48 MB, you should be able to attach it to a new post.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 18, 2025

I got the impression that you were seeing a magenta cast when importing to LrC 14.2, but that seems no to be the case. When you change the tint from 1 to 27, you will of course get a magenta cast. I don't know why the tint numbers changed from 14.1 to 14..2, but something could have changed in the way LrC assigns these numbers to the image. If the image looks the same as in version 14.1, I don't see the problem. The numbers are not important, what matters is how the image looks.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 18, 2025

When imported in LrC 14.2. the Temp/Tint reads 6200/1 and 5950/4 as you say, and there is no magenta cast. Have you tried to disable the GPU in preferences? Also, do you use Eizo ColorNavigator for Calibration? If, so make sure to use ICC profile version 2 (not 4) and Gamma tone curve (not LUT). Even if you have used these settings, run the calibration again, your monitor profile may be corrupted.

You can download the latest driver from this page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/search.html#sort=relevancy&f:@tabfilter=%5BDownloads%5D&f:@stm_10385_en=%5BGraphics%5D It's the first one in the list, 32.0.101.6559. You currently have version 31.0.101.5007.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 18, 2025

You have a PNG open in the Windows Photos app (which is color managed BTW), and a Tiff open in Photoshop, so it's not the same image. Also, the # at the end of Tiffs file name indicates that it is untagged – it does not have an embedded profile. Never work with untagged material, it disables color management, and you'll end up with problems like this. When saving files in Photoshop, always check ICC profile.

Per Berntsen · ‎Feb 18, 2025

Please post sample images, that's the only way we can find out what's going on. If this was really a bug in LrC, we would see loads of complaints here from Z6 III users. I've had a look at sample images from this camera at DPreview, and they look normal to me.
