@dj_paige  There is nothing there.  See my response to Sameer By @Clayton Reitzel   The History Panel has to include at least the Import step, are you saying that there is only the Import step in the History Panel? If so, what date is shown in the Import step? Or are you saying there really "nothing" there meaning no Import step in the History Panel?   Please also answer my other question: "Did you import all of these photos into a new catalog?" ...

Translation to English:   Hello, I would like to export  the photos to the client, without him being able to copy the edit made and presets used  in the photos, avoiding the copy for use.   If I am understanding you properly, you can export the photos and send them to the client. If the original photos were RAW images, then there is no text of the edits and presets included in the export. If the original was DNG JPG or TIF, then be sure not to write the metadata to XMP before sending the exports. ... View more

Do you want to keep the one with keywords, or do you want to keep the other one?   Checked the whole disk again. There is only one "physical" picture there and in the Lightroom folder too.   I think Johan gave specific instructions which it doesn't sound like you followed. He said: "Right-click on the first photo and choose 'Go to Folder in Library'. Lightroom Classic will show you in which folder this image is stored. Then do the same for the copy." ... View more

DJ, when you say "offline activation", do you mean the steps listed below? Can anyone confirm they are still working circa Feb 25th 2025? Thanks. By @jamesl46055539   Yes that is what I mean. I have no idea if it still works, I have never even once tried it as I don't need to install Lr 6.  However, it will take you just a few minutes to try it and see if it still works. Please let us know what happens. ... View more

Previews getting corrupted repeatedly could be a malfunctioning hard disk. Try copying the catalog file to a different disk, open it in LrC and let it rebuild the previews there, and see if the problem goes away. ... View more

Things change from time to time that have nothing to do with the human user changing settings. There may have been OS updates or driver updates. And of course sometimes people make accidental changes without realizing it. In the end, it doesn't help to rule out possibilities without investigating. Please check to see if you have the most recent current studio (not game) driver for your GPU. Please try an experiment to see if your antivirus is the problem ... try turning it off and see if the problem in LrC goes away. Also reset your preference file. ... View more

As LrC never changes the image portion of your original photos, there is no "add text" function, except at export. There used to be (and maybe still is, I don't know) a plugin called Mogrify that will add text superimposed on your exported photos; I leave it up to you to do the proper searching.   Another option is to write the metadata to the exported file, which in my mind is a better solution, as this information can stay with the original photos and stay with the exported photo as well.   Lastly, there is Photoshop which can place text on your photos. ...

As mentioned before, there is only one picture stored on the disk, but the catalog is showing TWO pictures. any idea how to fix? By @michaelh79651316   So which of these two do you want to keep? Is there one with edits and one without edits? Is there one with user-supplied metadata and one without?   Also, does LrC show these in different folders, or are they in the same folder? ... View more

You (accidentally) imported the photos twice. And so you need to decide which of the two versions of the photo you want to keep in LrC. It is possible that one has develop settings while the other does not; or perhaps one has user-provided metadata, while the other does not. If that is the case, it may be simple to select the ones that do not have edits or do not have metadata. ... View more

It did occur to me that might be a safer way to go, due to theoretical risk of the instalation process of 6.14 on top of 6.0   the risk is zero, people install 6.14 over 6.0 this without issue   and possible activation call to a non-existant activation server   There is no more online activation using a server. All activation of Lr 6 is done offline, it works efffectively and without issues, you can find dozens of people who have done this successfully by searching this forum. ... View more

Going back to your earlier posts, it hits me that the photo you specifically named is a Pano in .dng format. Maybe that is a clue. Are all the missings .dng? Are all the missings Panos? Were the Panos created by Lightroom Classic, or Photoshop, or other? ... View more

WHen I do your first 3 steps from All photos and then select the photos from London   This is not a step in my procedure. Once you have performed Steps 1–3, then you search with the Filter Bar searching for the file name; or by searching visually all photos taken on that date. It doesn't seem as if you have done that. There is no step of "select the photos from London".   So the files have not been renamed or moved.   I do not agree with that conclusion. ... View more

Bonjour, Je ne peux plus ouvrir Lightroom 6 (j'ai une licence perpétuelle). Au lancement, une page de connexion d'Adobe s'ouvre comme si je lançais Lightroom en ligne. J'ai saisi le n° de licence de mon L6 mais qui n'est pas reconnu ce qui est logique. Est-ce à dire qu'Adobe a retiré le droit d'utiliser L6 à ses utilisateurs qui ont dûment acheté une licence ? Pourriez-vous m'aider ? Merci beaucoup. PHV By @Flawless_fighter5643   Adobe has not done this. Don't believe the people who put forth this conspiracy theory.   Try the "offline installation method" to install Lr 6. https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install-discussions/lightroom-6-on-a-new-pc/m-p/14638713#M580921 ...

I had hoped to find the 6.14 update file   It most definitely is 6.14. That's why I provided the link above. And that's what was said by @photo-active and @eivinda earlier in this thread, and the link I provided specifically says these are the 6.14 download links.     What is your evidence that it is not 6.14? ...

There is no problem installing over 6.0.   Yes, you have to enter your serial number to use the software.   As stated in the popular Miley Cyrus song, there is no online activation any more, there is no longer any counting of installations, so it counts as zero installations against the (new) theoretical limit of infinity plus 12 activations. ...

So, LrC already thinks these photos are already part of the catalog. In your first post in this thread, you said:   When I try to synchronize the folder again, the first pop-up window shows that some files must be imported. But then when I hit synchronize, no new photo are display, as if there are already considered part of the catalogue.   Your interpretation is correct, that's what it means, the photos are already part of the catalog. So the only way I know to fix this is to find the photos in the catalog, then the fix is (probably) easy.   Now in the most recent reply, you said:   I selected all the pictures corresponding to the London trip and LrC made the count.   Not sure I understand this, how did you select all the photos from the London trip from All Photographs? Is it possible the photos were renamed accidentally and so London is not in the file name? It is my belief that these types of problems are usually caused by people importing with accidentally wrong settings, or otherwise making some accidental change, and now the photos are not where they are expected to be and may not even have the expected file names.   Then counting somehow based on file name will not find these photos, if that is what you did. Which is why I said earlier "Then search manually/visually among the photos taken on this date", search visually in LrC (after performing steps 1–3 and sorting by file capture time) among photos taken on this date and see if you can find one of these missing files by the image content and not by the file name. You know what it looks like since you can find and view the photo in your operating system folder.     ... View more
