The issue is still there after the latest LRc update to 12.2. (Also one or two minor Windows update were installed in the meantime.) It might got a bit better with 12.2. 🤔 But I'm not sure as the intensity depends on the images. At least it is still not good when the text is really bright. And the font transparancy looks still reeeeally strange. It's harder to read as it sometimes looks speckled.

Yes I belive so too. When I upscale the screenshot (4x, no softening) it obviously might look a little blocky but some issues with font rendering really pop out. - artifacts at the lower case e - upper case S also looks strange (the upper left outer curve is almost a corner) - to little / no space between o and n, or between i and e - to little / negative space between f and r The suggested name font is rendered too bold or something like that. And also with this weired kind of transparency (where the brightness of the text seem to be a bit dependend on the image under it even though the dark gray box having a uniform, 100% opaque color). It might be Windows specific. Windows has this ClearType setting to finetune font rendering. But changes at it seem to leave this texts/issue unaffected.

Previously I used LrC 12 (and other versions). Recently I installed LR 14.1.1 on a new system. Now the suggested names on recognized face regions look bad. I attached screenshots to show the issue, unfortunatly the screenshots do not show the whole extent of the problem; They look a little bit softer than the original LR interface on the monitor.
System Details:
Windows 10 22H2
nVidia GeForce RTX 4070 S
GPU driver version: 566.36 (studio driver)
DirectX 12
24" LCD with 1920 x 1200 px resolution / 22" LCD with 1680 x 1050 px resolution (both 8bit, 60Hz)
Issue happens when Windows UI scaling is set to 100% (default) as well as when it is set to 110%.
Manually added person tag – a bit blurry but ok:
Suggested person tags – double letter edges or something, seemingly on some backgrounds more than on others (but sometimes more on dark and sometimes more on bright backgrounds), mostly on letters with straight lines:
after accepting a suggestion it looks a bit blurry but ok:
Suggested person tag – strange looking color/brightness shifts, seemingly on unsteady background:
Other texts within Lightroom with similar size look fine:

The bug still exists. @areohbee To be positive: It was not exactly deferred until Lr9. The downside: It was also not fixed in LR6 either. 😅 Just as I stumbled over this thread by accident and remembered that I also encountered this bug several times in several Lr(C) versions, I tested this with LrC 14.1.1 2-times each with two Nikon NEF file. The fractions vanished after changinge time of two files by 1 hr in the dialog to modify capture time - either via time zone correction as well as via free target time... doesn't make a difference for this bug. But at least in this small test the order of photos stayed correct.

I also wish for this feature to come. Searching/Filtering and also creating Smart-Collections based on fields like Model Release Status or Property Release Status would be appreciated. Also Event and Job ID / Transmission Reference would be nice. I use the former for model shootings (sometimes I have releases for all photos, on other shootings the images are only for the customer and others again have an image by image release) etc. and the latter for event photographs (to specify source and planned distribution of the images). As Adobe even abandond some of the most common IPTC Core / IPTC-IIM metadata fields (like headline) in Lightroom non-Classic, I have little hope to ever see any improvements to the library module in LrC. But in case they here our prayers...

My last answer was meant to be an anwer for @TiggerCWP . Regarding the main topic I still support this feature request, as I would use it for other scenarios. (applying specific category and situation tags, not people names. Doing this by mouse or keyboard shortcut would be way more efficent than code replacement by third party software as I don't want to select the keyword input field first each time.)

For this scenario I use additional software (Phrase Express) that enables me to import lists of text fragments and shortcodes (e.g. player names and their numbers with some prefix as shortcode). Later on I can type in the shortcode wherever I want and the software replaces it with the text/name. It's not integrated with Lightroom in any way but instead emulates keystrokes on system level. Works quite well.

I myself (LRc user, not experienced with the new enhancing features nor with DNG workflows) assumed so, because 1. the Lightroom settings offer this option and 2. the denoised DNG files are 4x as huge as the RAW files.

Last week one import was successful at the first try: An import (with file moving & renaming as usual) from notebook hard drive via LAN to pc hdd. The only thing that was different to all the troublesome imports was the file destination. Usually I import/move the files to a ssd of my pc (and later move them to the hdd), this time by accident I imported them to an hdd. SMART values of the SSD are fine. No other known problems. Is the SSD too fast for Lightroom? 🤨 Ridiculous thought, but who knows...

Oh and another thing: This also happens for Imports without file copying/moving. It starts, Lightroom loads a few photos, generates their previews aaand ... everything comes to a halt.

I just realized, that the acutal file moving and renaming continues (quite slowly) and gets completed based on what I see in the Windows Explorer, even though Lightroom doesn't indicate any progress. But even after all files are moved, Lightroom import doesn't go on.

What I wrote above was true for an earlier LR Classic version, too. But I just realized a new aspect of this issue that I did not experienced before: Right now, I actually had to close the whole application to restart the operations, as the Import button stayed disabled/grayed out even after aborting the last Import. I'm really frustrated. LR was such a nice application, not perfect but everything worked fine up until 2 yrs ago. Now every now and then updates include new errors and it takes forever to fix errors. But I can't go back because of incompatible catalouges and not going forward with the versions also don't work as every version has at least one UX destroying bug (not necessarily a new one, often an old one present also in the previous version, but in the last months I never had a LR version without any bug at all). And the only improvments of the last years are minor performance and raw-engine improvements and adding compatibility to new cameras, while the Library module and the filtering is on a just mediocre level for years now. It's a good thing for Adobe that they switched to a rental-system early enough. Wouldn't pay for this crappy "updates" otherwise.

In the last few weeks / current LR Classic versions, I experience a new issue, when doing 2 operations simultaniously. Steps to reproduce: 0a. Have multiple image root locations (multiple drives/main folders/...) + Have images in them. 1. Move a (sub-)folder / images from location A to location B (in LR, lefts sightbar, folder pane) 2. Start an import from somewhere else* to a new folder in location A + activate creation of default previews 3. wait a little * I usually import from another device/PC connected via LAN. But I think this is not relevant to trigger this issue. My current LR version: 11.2 Build 202201281441-a5b5f472 My OS: Windows 10.0.18363 At first, all looks fine, but after few moments, all 3 operations (moving, import, preview creation) just hang and I have to manually abort them and restart them (for the rest of the images). I usually do this for 2 reasons: I have not much free disk space left (new disk is ordered) AND I work with a super fast SSD for current projects + large HDDs for older projects / archive.

Lightroom default is not selected as I have customized my labels. I didn't described that as it shouldn't make any differences. But I can try this later on when I have time to do all my settings again.

Got moved to discussion? Without any comment? So not an error, but worsened by designe I guess? Wow. 🙄 Whatever... just for completeness: I just recognized that also in grid view this happens sometimes. I selected 3 photos, which were marked red and then removed the color label by pressing 6 on the keyboard. "Red" and "None" (and others) are shown, only green is deactivated in the attribute filter. After I pressed 6 the 3 images disappeared for less than a second and then appeared again - without the red label (as expected) and unselected (not as expected).

Issue: image gets deselected after changing/removing color lable Lightroom Classic Version Number: 11.0 Build 202110120910-0bccc70d OS Version Number: Windows 10.0.18363 Steps to reproduce: Have some images in your current folder/collection/... Activate attribute filter and select some color labels there (including "none") Select one image and open in Loupe View Change color label of selected image (maybe change it a few times - can be done fast or slow. Issue only occures sometimes.) - use only color labels that are selected in color filter Expected result: Color label should change, image should stay selected all the time. Actual result: Color label changes, but sometimes imge gets deselected. Loup view says that no image is selected and I have to go back to grid view and select it again. (I guess the color label filter leads to a complete refresh of the images as if I change the filter.) Issue never occured befor the last update.

Also a good hint but it only works for keywords and within very strict limits. Usually for sports photography it's even (way) more important do populate this information to the caption. Furthermore it basically only works for pure names of top VIPs, while often substitutions like "MU1" → "David de Gea (#1, Atletico Madrid)" are needed; Problem: less famous people change numbers more or less frequently and also clubs from time to time + you often want to be able to reuse codes like MU1 for new events without thinking about past usage. And you definetly want to use this whole scenario really fast and hassle-free as the main point is to save time and effort. Editing Lightroom's keyword hirachy is (in general a really nice feature but) eventually a bit slow.

Even thouh some time has past since you ask I'd like to share my fiddly solution. I use PhaseExpress on Windows which monitors all keystrokes when running and replaces certain inputs. You can prepare replacement list similar as with Photo Mechanic. You can also limit PhaseExpress' monitoring to a certain application (e.g. Lightroom) and also do some more advanced stuff which isn't needed for this. Some aspects of the replacement (the way it is done) can be configured. Normally it don't tamper with some keys as ENTER etc. I changed this to also recognize some of them so that I could type a caption like "On the left: MU1[ENTER]" without the need for a comma, whitespace or other seperators that could mark the end of a replacement code. (PE basicaly sits inbetween the keyboard driver and the application and analyses all keystrokes while passing them through. With ENTER after a replacement-code its a little special - it first replaces the completed code before it sends ENTER to the application. This way ENTER acts as I like it: It signalises the end of a potential code to PE and after that it signalises the end of my caption editing to Lightroom.) Main downside is: The replacement happens through tampering with keystrokes in two steps. 1. PE detects a code (MU1,) 2. By quickly sending virtual keystrokes PE undos the code typing (deletes MU1,) and then generates the intended text (David de Gea,) It's really fast but you absolutly can interfere with this while it sends virtual keystrokes by accident. Lightroom don't know whats happening. It just receives the keystrokes. Imagine clicking somewhere which closes the caption field, while PE still sends some virtual keystrokes. Lightroom then will interprete them as shortcuts (e.g. instead of typing " Gea" this happens: [whitespace] opens the image, [Shift]+[g] opens grid view, [e] opens Library Loupe view, [a] does nothing – worse things could happen with other keys). Nonetheless it seems to be the best way to add code replacement capabilities to Lightroom (or other applications). I just searched for a better solution myself again hopeing something has changed in the last one or two years. Haven't found anything better.

Thank you. I hoped for an easier solution. But yes, it works with a exiftool shell script. Took some time to get it right. Only "problem" is that one always has to check for the metadata fieldnames that are affected by the settings in Lightroom (because Lightroom names them differently and for easier editing combines several fields in one). OT: I don't realy get it, why Adobe neglects the library module and export so much. (And with the newer Lightroom non-Classic it got even worse instead of better.)

Hi, does anyone know a way to apply a metadata preset on exported photos? Ideally I'd like to include/link the preset within an export preset. I'm pretty sure that Lightroom doesn't offer this out of the box, but I hope there could be an Add-On to achive this. It would simplify the process of delivering photos to different agencies.

I just upgraded from LR 6 to LR Classic CC (LR 7.4) an was pleased by the improved performance. But the more I use it, the more frustrating it gets. With Lightroom 6 it was possible to edit presets within an text editor. One could just remove one code line that way and Lightroom ignored the respective setting when the preset was applied. Now – with Lightroom 7 and XMP presets – this doesn't work anymore if one uses such a modified preset as import preset. The missing value now is reset to Lightroom's default value (mostly to 0), not even to the configured "defaults specific to camera ISO setting". It also doesn't makes a difference if I remove a code line or if only the value within the "" is removed in the xmp file. If one reassigns such a preset, it still works fine and the removed settings aren't touched anymore by Lightroom. I suppose, the import setting behavior is a bug, since the preset acts like before when applied later on. The old behavior gave the option e.g. to only change the overall sharpening value without changing the other values (and thus it was able to combine presets with Lightroom's camera/ISO-specific base values). This "trick" in general e.g. was described here: - Custom preset that modifies RGB channels but not the main curve? - https://blog.thomasfitzgeraldphotography.com/blog/2017/10/manually-editing-lightroom-preset-files-in-bbedit Of course one could modify his workflow from: 1) Import with development preset & generate previews ! to: 1) Import without preset -waiting-> 2) manually assign preset -short waiting-> 3) manually start preview creation This workaround at least works until Adobe maybe changes the behavior of development presets also when they are manually applied. Until then it only costs more time and you need to wait in front of your computer. If this was an intentional change, then Adobe really just managed to make the presets even more useless. How is this even possible?! For years customers ask for better preset-features (like relative presets), but now Adobe even reduces the possibilities. I will continue the test period but I already consider downgrading again. If a software attempts to manage all my photos from many years, I'm really sensitiv for bugs and inconsistent behavior/possibilities.
