Only if you have a backup stored somewhere. Are you sure that you deleted it, or did LR lose track of it? Try searching your computer for files ending in a .LRCAT extension. If you find one, double-clicking on it will bring up LR using that catalogue. Hal

You have to be patient. LR gets updated roughly every three months with new camera support. The next update is probably due this month. Venting won't speed up the process.

Ralf, You don't need to export and import as catalogue. You can simply copy the catalogue, images, and previews to the new machine. See here: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/ Hal

The DNG convertor also needs to be updated to handle raw files from your camera. It will probably have a new release about when LR does. Hal

If LR says it's there, then it's probably there. You can search for it by name. In grid mode for All Photographs, type '\' to bring up the filter bar, click 'Text' at the top, and have the fields say "filename' 'contains all' and your tilename in the search field.That should find the missing photo. Then you can right-click on it (ctrl-click on Mac) and choose 'Go to Folder in Library' to show you where it is. Note: you might have to issue the menu command "Photo->Stacking->Expand all Stacks" for the image to be found. Hal

Jill, Make sure that 'Quick Collection Markers' is ticked in the Library View Options dialogue. You can bring up the dialogue through the View->ViewOptions... menu command. Hal

Ali, I think it probably is. It definitely is producing profiles that are faulty in some way. Hal

A possible cause of printing too light is having your monitor set too dark. Evidently a good setting is a little over 100 cd/m2. Also, you say the problem has just started happening. Do you have an older file that printed OK in the past? Could you try printing it again? Hal

The warning message is the result of a bug introduced in the 6.8/2015.8 version of Lightroom. The message is produced no matter what size of catalogue you have. That at least, you can ignore. The message about LR quitting unexpectedly is strange. Does LR work properly otherwise?

Bob, This definitely looks like a bug. Try submitting a post here: Community-powered support for Photoshop Family That site is looked at by Adobe developers. This site isn't. Hal

Like Paige says, you may have an overheating problem. Over time, dust builds up inside the case and can prevent proper cooling. There are lots of free apps that display interior temperatures. Try running one of them while you're doing a large import. Hal

Read Jao's post, above. If you want monochrome straight from the camera, you'll need to shoot JPEG (or RAW + JPEG). It ain't gonna happen otherwise.

It looks to me as if you're trying to add a shortcut for Photoshop instead of Lightroom. Hal

Rob, Extremely well put. Getting upset with what Adobe might do about LR some day in the future won't do anything except mess up your present moments. None of us knows, and all a discussion like this can do is to divide us into two camps based on how much we trust Adobe. None of it has to do with the Real World (TM). Hal

Paige, I can't find it, either. Even though I subscribe to the photography package in CC, I'm not in any hurry to upgrade any of my Adobe software to the 2014 versions. Adobe seem incapable of releasing updates without major SNAFUs. Hal

Gary, You're really, truly doing it wrong. If you move the images using Lightroom, it forgets the original location and only knows the new location. I suspect that you're using the operating system to move images and are then re-importing them, which will lead to the kind of problem you describe. Hal

I can't speak for the other Adobe forums, but the know-nothings at Adobe Technical Support were sending people with problems to the Lightroom U2U forum. The new forum design is going to drive the knowledgeable people away, leaving the folks with problems unhelped. That can't be good for business. Hal

There's another possibility: some cameras allow you to crop to non-native aspect ratios, and if you're shooting raw files, LR will respect those ratios and crop your images to match. That's how it works on my Olympus and Fuji cameras. If that's the case, the simple solution would be to set your camera back to whatever the native aspect ratio is. Hal

A couple of things: --What happens when you turn on the adjustment brush overlay? (in the tools menu) Do you see the overlay in your chosen colour when you paint? Perhaps you could post a screenshot of the bottom part of the brush panel: Hal

Adam, You say the images look good on the laptop, but they're corrupted on the PC. I assume that you're using LR to view them in both places. So there is something in the PC that is corrupting them. I don't see why you can rule out the hard drive. New hardware fails more often than hardware that has run for a few months. I'd check my hard drive and my RAM. Either can lead to corrupted images. Download Memtest and run it against your memory. Disk manufacturers often supply diagnostic programs for their drives. You probably can find one on their website. Hal

Master file: 12 MP NEF with perhaps 50 brush strokes.
Exporting as JPEG, 1700 pixels on longest side, only include Copyright.
With 600 kb limit, Lightroom refuses the Export on grounds of "Could not create a JPEG that met your limit of 600K bytes"
If I set the limit at 900kb, the export works OK, producing a 340KB JPEG.
It looks like LR is taking the extra XMP data into account in figuring out if the export will work, not realizing that the data won't be included.
I can furnish the NEF and associated XMP on request.
Win 7, 64-bit. 8GB.

Go ahead and do it. Your catalogue is usable by any of the Version 3 point releases. If you're feeling paranoid, take a backup before swapping releases. Hal
