John I was wondering why the cursor changes to a HAND on the word filter but on OS X I can't drag it left and right using a click or right click. As soon as I click it just opens and closes. All the rest of the behavior is as you describe. It appears the OP is on Windows so maybe this works on windows and not on MAC. Are you on windows also?

Can you see the Color Labels in the upper filter bar as Shooitstbond007 shows in the screen clip? Not sure if the two are connected though I can get portions of the lower filter bar to hide but they ALL show back up when hitting the FILTER label. You can alway try deleting the Preferences file trick. I am amazed at what this one file will affect in lightroom and how it can get messed up and then mess up lightroom.

Not sure which color labels you are talking about so here are two clips. Check if they are turned on with the filmstrip dropdown at the right end. If thats not what you want than click the word "Filter" and the filter bar will expand and contract.

Probably because they want you to buy the rental version. I can't see any other logical conclusion. I don't question Adobe marketing. A quick google search of "buy lightroom 5" brings up all kind of vendors so buyers, even new users, shouldn't have a hard time finding it. Its even available off the shelf at the local Best Buy and Office Depot so it is not that hard to find.

Its just as easy to buy it from Amazon, B&H or a local vendor if you need it right away. I don't understand why people think they have to buy the standalone from Adobe.

Is there any chance of adding a tool/paint brush that you could eliminate or enhance colors. A really good example of this would be nice to have a paintbrush that I could use on a face to be able to adjust the redness is someone face without effecting the reds in the rest of the image.

+1 on this. I think having the HSL panel sliders included in the Local Adjustment tools would a great addition. I could see this as a must upgrade feature for Lr6 although I will upgrade anyway no matter what they include or not.

tool presets as in presets that not only specify the develop preset but which tool they apply to. I imagine a llittle pallette where you can drop a brush of a certain size that's set to a specific preset and set to auto mask.
You can do individual tool brush presets now although the size, flow and mask are not stored. I could see where if you had a toggle when saving the tool you could specify if you want the size, flow and mask settings also stored. These are easy to change and can be changed during use of the brush so I am not sure how handy this would be. As far as your adjusting the amount of ALL the sliders at once I gave you a workaround using the graduated filter and amount slider in my post #376. You could probably use a couple of the graduated filters in this way and do blending. I know its not blending layers in Photoshop but Lightroom was never intended to be Photoshop and I hope they keep Lightroom a lean and mean raw editor and leave this kind of stuff to Photoshop.

Thanks, I see what getho is talking about now. One problem is how do you account for applying a little bit less of split toning, graduated filters, post crop vignette, and all the lens corrections that may be included in the develop preset. for getho's case you could just apply a graduated filter over the WHOLE photo with the lines outside the photo so the graduated filter affects the whole photo and then use the "amount" slider for the graduated filter to do the "fade" effect you want. You could even create a preset with this graduated filter.

1.5a) I'd like to be able to have tool presets - because I often want the same brush with each pick and the same grad but necessarily the same preset for brush AND grad
2)The fun one: I'd like to be able to apply 2 develop presets to an image. How many times have you applied a develop preset and thought - thats good but a theres just a bit too much of it. Easy to fix in photoshop - you just adjust the opacity of an effect (adjustment layer or group). It should be possible to do the same in LR without creating pixel outputs and adding over the top.
For 1.5a there are already tool presets. For 2 Create a virtual copy or two and apply different develop presets to them. You do know that if you hover over a develop preset the little navigator thumbnail changes to the preset so you can see what it will look like.

Adobe is already aware as of a Nov 10 from Post #6 in this thread from Julie Kmoch of ADOBE. I'm sure this is a hot item for the engineers. As was said in post #44, why does Camera Raw sliders work well but Lightroom Develop doesn't. Lightroom is probably doing more in the background but the basic RAW engine should be the same or similar.

Just for a test make the Lightroom window 1/4th of the size of your screen which will be about 2560X1440 pixels which is the display of the non-retina Imac. Lightroom will then have to calculate a lot less pixels. If it speeds up then it is a problem the high pixel count of the full screen. Hopefully Adobe is addressing performance when using high pixel screens for Lightroom 6.

I would like to see a way to remove some of the DEFAULT develop presets and the containing folders. Most of them are probably worthless for most people. I know this has be requested in the Feedback forums and Adobes OFFICIAL reply is essentially "thats the way it is"

The video you linked correctly shows Lightroom doing keywords on multiple photos in Loupe view because he has "Auto Sync" turned on in the Lower Righthand Corner. Lightroom 5 works the same way as I just tried it.

The disadvantage to Photogene and Snapseed is that your edits will not sync up to the RAW files in Lightroom. That is the whole point of Lightroom Mobile. Its a Version 1.0 app so we will have to see what progress will be made. For me, if I want to edit on a small device in the field I will just get a Microsoft Surface Pro/clone or Macbook Air and put the full version of Lightroom on it. On my Ipad, the colors are a lot COOLER on the Ipad than the calibrated Imac. More info on Ipad colors here. http://regex.info/blog/2012-03-27/1964

I agree Photosmith is a slick app. The busy work of keywording, flagging, rating, etc can be done easily. You can also download RAWs directly from the camera in the field which gives you an automatic backup. When you get back to your PC you can just sync on fast local wireless. For now I can't see the advantage of editing on a non color calibrated device where all your colors are going to need to be redone in Lightroom. Final sharpening and noise reduction using the Smart Previews are not even recommended by Adobe, even in Lightroom, as stated here. http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/04/editing-off-line-files-in-the-lightroom-5-beta-using-smart-previews.html

This is off topic from the problem but I wonder why you don't have any colors in your sliders considering you are using Lr5.3. Your screen shot should look like DJ_Paige's screen shot. Is the Overlay showing as RED?

Which version of Lr and what OS are you using. You do not have any color in your sliders in your screen shot. As asked earlier, have you turned the brush OVERLAY on and are you getting the overlay to display. I assume you are using Brush A or B and not the Erase.

Actually the design for the import dialog is pretty ingenious in my opinion. You can do a "Deselect All" and then use "click shift-click and ctrl-click" and then click a check box as you indicate. You can then repeat this with another group of images without messing with the first selection. It makes selecting sequences of non-contiguous photos very easy. You can select 1 thru 10 and then 30 thru 40 without single clicking the second group.

I can confirm this EXACT behavior in Lr 5.2final using OSX 10.8.5. It also gave me an "Error Changing Modules" when I switched to Library and then back to Develop.
LR works as expected with no error if you switch to the Library before doing the "Select Photo/Delete Rejected Photos/Delete from disk" command and then switch to the Develop module.
