@cagrimertbakirci I doubt the Global Dehaze slider issue will ever be fixed. This will be another long term unfixed bug to add to the long list. Will the Local {masking) White Balance workaround work for you that i posted above?

Works for me on LrC13.4 and Mac. Did you restart LrC and the Computer? If that fails than you should reset your Preferances. Sometimes they gets messed up and creates all kind of odd issues and a reset fixes the issues.

Thanks for the great tip @Califdan2 and your great write up on your blog. I never knew it worked that way. Its always fun to learn a new trick in LrC.

@chrilu_SOAS I use an easy work around for this. Create a Smart Collection like this. Smart Collections show photos inside of Collapsed Stacks so it will show ALL your photos. Select this Smart Collection and then you can use the TOP filter bar to to search this collection.

If you recreate the 1:1 previews it would have to read the RAW data. If LrC can not create the preview than the file is corrupt.

The update to LrC 13.3 had an upgrade of the Previews system. There are other reports of this happening on the forums. This may be a leftover from that upgrade. https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/upgrading-catalog-with-13-3-loses-previews/m-p/14659320

It should be noted that in another thread where this was first brought up the OP discovered that ADD TO STACK does work if you use an Export Preset that has the option enabled. This ONLY works if you use the Right Click Context Export dropdown and choose one of the Export Presets. This works so there is no reason to not allow it in the Export Dialog.

@JohanElzenga I agree the dialog SEEMS to indicate the change will be written to the RAW file automatically and this would be a bug but I was involved in an extended discussion long ago and this behavior was considered AS DESIGNED. It was requested the dialog be changed to make it clear you have to actually do the WRITE command but the suggestions were ignored.

You have to WRITE the XMP to change the Capture Time in the RAW file. If you do not it only records it in the catalog. Write Time/Date to files in RAW in preferences in ON Original RAW file Dates Changed Date to the year 2000 for both Saved XMP ONLY for 423 Removed the two files from LrC Deleted the XMP for 423 Reimported into LrC. Only 423 has the date changed in the RAW file To have the date changed in the file you must save XMP

For me the Capture Date of the FILE does not change unless I write the XMP out. Using the Change Capture Date command ONLY changes the date in the LrC catalog. It has always been this way.

There are other issues here too. If you set the export dialog as follows there is no warning/error on export but the exported photo dimensions are wrong. 80X600=48000 not 28377 LrC should warn/error.

This is an old bug in LrC that was never fixed or is back. You can actually export an image at 80cm and 600ppi. The exported image size is as follows. 18898/600 is 31.496 which is the size in inches as the ppi is given in inches. The bug can be recreated as follows Set setting like this Change Resolution to pixels per inch Try to change Resolution 600 pixels per inch. it turns red Hit return and it changes to 319

@mremijan I agree it might be useful to NEST smart collections but you can do your particular example by using both the Smart Collections and Filter Bar together. Go into Library/Grid and select all the Smart Collections you want and then go into the Filter Bar/Date section and select all the Dates you want. The following will select all the Red and Green colored Labels taken on 4/23/24 and 5/10/24. Using this you only have to select new dates in the Filter Bar 4/

There is text that pops up on the screen saying you are reseting x number of photos but it is so quick to be almost useless. There is a command or two that I can remember that has a confirmation dialog if more that a certain about of photos are selected. This probably needs this dialog too

A poor functionality in Transform is the Radial Filter does not rotate when you use Rotate in Transform. Rotating a Radial in Transform/Rotate should be easy to implement as it should be mathematically the same as just rotating the Radial in the Masking Tool.

The Radial Filters are actually Ellipses. A circle is a special type of ellipse. To correct for the tilt the shape would have to become egg shaped so can not be represented by an elliptical Radial so LrC keeps the Radial the the same shape as before the Transform. You should Transform before using the Radial. This is as designed.

After these Sandisk Extreme Portable issues came to light and their poor response to the issue I quit using my Extreme Portable and am now using Crucial SSDs, X9 Pros specifically . They test very high for continuious write speeds on reliable test sites if you need that. Video for example. I still use Sandisk memory cards in my cameras as they have been very reliable.

@Deena31970485erka As I remember, Lr/Enfuse required a little experimenting with the sliders depending on whether you want Focus Stack, Exposure Blend or Astro. I have not used it since after the Photography Plan was announced as I then had Photoshop and now LrC does some of this. I wish LrC would Focus Stack and create a DNG but for focus stacks I just do 90 percent of the edits in the source photos in LrC and then blend.

Unfortunately that also changes any Global Sharpening you have done. That is why I said it was a poor design and makes Mask Sharpening less useful.

Mask sharpening depends on the Radius and Detail settings in the Global detail panel. As an experiment, lower the Global Sharpening to 2 and do a Mask Sharpening of 100 (not the preset). Then go to the Global Sharpening and slide the Radius from the lowest to the highest and you will see the Mask Sharpening change. I think this is a VERY POOR design but it has been that way forever.

BTW, you might have better luck sharpening out of focus areas by using a combination of Texture, Clarity and Dehaze along with sharpening.

Quit using the Preset Sharpness. I starts at a default of 25 Sharpness and does not change the photo much. Use Sharpness in the Detail Section of the Local adjustments and you can set it to 100

@Deena31970485erka Lr Enfuse was very useful before HDR was added to Lightroom and then later the release of the Lightroom Classic Phototography Plan with Photoshop. Although it probably still works well the need for it has practially disappeared. Now I use HDR in LrC for the exposure blends. It just takes practice to get similar results you get with Lr/Enfuse. I use Photoshop for focus stacks. It works OK most of the time but too often requires some manual blending. Using the Median and Mean Filters in Photoshop accomplish some of the other things Lr/Enfuse was used for like noise and astro.

@Deena31970485erka I hope you have gotten your issue fixed. I used to use Lr/Enfuse before Lightroom Classic and the Photography Plan was released but after having Photoshop available for blends and the addition of HDR in LrC I came to the conclusion Lr/Enfuse was no longer needed for my workflow. When I used Lr/Enfuse I just downloaded and installed the necessary additional programs using the Enfuse Configuration menu so I knew they were the correct ones and worked with Enfuse. I do not see why you were searching the internet for other programs. Also, the instruction mention nothing about Enblend but I did not try a reinstall as I now use a Mac but I did use Windows in the past. The instruction from the Lr/Enfuse page show the following dialog box which is the same as the one I used to use.

Sounds like you are creating 2 Linear Gradient “components” inside a single Mask. You need to create TWO Masks with each having ONE Linear Gradient component.
