Does anyone have answer short of me reinstalling LR? Do you mean you go into the Help menu then click on the Sign Out item that has your Adobe ID email address listed and you click on that? If that is what you are doing then Stop doing that. If you never Sign Out it will never ask for the serial number again. It is because you are Signing Out that the next time you start LR it asks you to Sign In and enter the serial number. ... View more

Whether it is or not isn't the question. Why are you in a rush to update OS X to the next version especially if your Mac is running fine right now.

The creation date you are looking at is the "FILE" creation date not the date stored in the EXIF. If you took a bunch of images on 8/26/2016 and you didn't copy them to your computers hard drive until 8/31/2016 the creation date would be 8/31/2016 not the date it was shot. That is the date the image file was created on the hard drive of your computer. The Capture time is completely different than the computer hard drive creation date. There should be an option in Finder to show the Capture date, Time. You really shouldn't be changing the File Creation date to the image capture date. 2 totally different things. ... View more

It is attached because when you delete the RAW the JPG is deleted. Thanks for that clarification. I have always had that option checked so I never saw the JPG referred to as a Sidecar. ... View more

Yes I normally shoot RAW + JPG, the JPGs at a much lower resolution for just the purpose you state (to send out, email, right away if needed). OK I didn't make the reference to a JPG being a Sidecar to the RAW. After all it is its own file not something actually attached to the RAW file. As in a motorcycle Sidecar. Not very good by itself without it being physically attached to a motorcycle. ... View more

Not everyone uses LR or any image cataloging and editing program to get images off a camera or a camera memory card. Some copy images directly to their hard drive and then import them. Some even us a different RAW editor, like ACR or Capture one, and then send that file to PS or generate a TIFF from that other editor and then import them into LR for image management (All Images in one place to be searched, flagged, color labeled, filtered or whatever). I for a long time used the Adobe Photo Downloader program that comes with PS & Bridge to get images from camera card to hard drive even though I've used LR since version 1. That is until I read an article on how to edit an import preset to give me the naming, Date, convention that I liked and had used with the Photo Downloader program. Now I do use LR to get images onto my hard drive. But I still sometimes create TIFF files on my notebook that I then need to import into LR on my main desktop system. ... View more

There are no JPG sidecar files in LR. LR writes any changes to the JPG file itself in a special section that does not change the original image file. That is "IF" the option is turned on to "Auto write changes to XMP". If that options isn't enabled then LR write the changes to the catalog file only. Again not changing the original file. So in either case if you view the original JPG file with some other viewing or editing program the edit you made in LR aren't displayed. You have to actually Export a file from LR to have the edits included, burned, into the new file. I have no idea if the Apple Photos app uses a separate JPG XMP sidecar file. I do agree it would be nice to have an option to filter out File Types in the import dialog and for that option to have a Multi Select system where you can filter out or filter in RAW, DNG, JPG, TIFF and PSD files. As it is now you can still do that with a little work by clicking the Uncheck All button then manually selecting the images you want to import or just go through them and uncheck the image you don't want imported. ...

I think you are missing the point of LR. LR is design to handle all your images not just some of them. Using 2 different image management and editing software programs is counter productive to having a well managed image collection and being able to sort and find images you might need, for whatever reason. I suggest you pick one, LR or Apple Photos, and stick with it for all your image management. ... View more

Yeah 2011. I built my preset desktop in March of 2011. Installed Win 7 and all my programs and haven't changed that initial install. All I've done over the years is updated or upgraded programs, like whatever version of PS and LR I had at that time (I think LR 3 and PS CS4) to the preset LR and PS CC. I'm a firm believer in if it isn't broke stop trying to fix it. I do make images of my system on a regular basis and I have reimaged the drives from time to time. Like when I tried Windows 10. I made a new fresh image of my main drives just before upgrading to Win 10. That lasted about 4 hours and then I reloaded the image I made just before the upgrade. ... View more
