Hey, JSM -  I'm using Macs, one running High Sierra with LR Classic 9.2.1 the other is running Catalina with LRC 10.0. Behavior for both systems is the same, and the same as you describe - in the center of the screen at the bottom. And as you describe, the alert only lasts for a second or so. I'd like to turn it off completely, though . Thanks for the reply ... View more

This  is definitely a step in the right direction, but I see some problems. Primarily, files must be saved with "Maximize Compatibility" checked. I guess this creates a layer that LR can read and use as the thumbnail and as something to edit in the Develop module. HOWEVER, this adds quite a bit to the file size. I the case of my 100MP captures, it's 2GB per file. I currently have around 200 psb files. In order to use this feature, I have to add about 400G to my storage capacity. Not a huge amount, but significant. Worse, I have to go back and resave every file with max comp. I'd much prefer if there was a way to read existing files - wihout being able to develop them ...

Andrew! you're still around!! I'm glad - I read a lot of your stuff, like, a decade ago ... View more

Correct. LR does not read large document files. It should, though ... View more

Correction - this behavior also happens on my laptop (mac pro 15" 2017) in photoshop 20.0.5.   Option clicking on a palette on the non-image display (on my laptop I use the 'main' display for palettes, on my desktop I use the 'main' display for images) causes a shift in full screen mode. Option-clicking on palattes in the 'main' display does not cause this behavior ... View more

Thanks, JJ. I wasn't refering to photoshop 'actions', ie prerecorded sets of commands. I was using the more general UX/UI term 'user action' - simply somethig a user does.   In my case, it's just option-clicking on a palette that changes the view mode. This is very clearly a bug in Photoshop ... View more

Higher resolution cameras are becoming more common. I layer my photographs from medium format cameras, resulting in files 4-17G. Lightroom's lack of support for large document format files means that I have to create complicated workarounds. Adding the ability to catalog the files would make my life much easier. Thanks! ...

I create a 'reference' jpeg and save in the same folder as the PSB. I then import the jpeg into LR. It's a bit clunky, but it works ... View more

I am running CC Classic 7.3.1. on a Mac Pro running OS 10.12.6 and have the same problem. When I try to create smart folders, the Collection Contains selector does not work as it shoud. When I put in a word, for instance 'Composites', that occurs in many collections, the smart folder selects some, but not nearly all, the photographs in those collections ... View more

Thanks, CP and DF.  I think you are correct I did some looking, and here's what I found: I don't have access to cc 17 at the moment, so can't tell if this is something that existed before, but perhaps it did, and my adjustment layers weren't making such extreme adjustments and it was not noticable. It is certainly more noticeable when I create a gradient in layer masks gradients in pixel layers - I didn't know that masks were only 8 bit, so this makes sense. When I said other than 100% I was primarily talking about less than that. I work with large images, so to see them on the screen, they are often at less than 33%. I don't think it's a monitor issue - I have an NEC 90 series monitor that is said to be 12 bit, and I've calibrated it using spectraview hardware, and PS does support my GPU PS, I'd like to mark the answers above as correct, but the forum won't allow me ...
