The video you're watching was probably made with Lightroom 6 (which had different colors in the histogram), so it's around 10 years old. You're comparing your version of LrC to a video of a 10 year old version. Videos don't have proper color management, so the colors you're seeing will not be correct.   In the 10 years that have passed since Lr 6 was released, Lightroom Classic (as it is now called) has come a long way. There are loads of new features that will not be covered in the video. So you need to find something more recent, like Julieanne Kost's training videos. https://jkost.com/blog/lightroom-training-videos Another good resource is the Lightroom Queen.   If you don't like LrC's initial rendering of your photos, take a look at this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/raw-defaults.html   ...

I am making the pictures I post, 1500 x 750 pixels which has usally made a 1-2 meg file...Now when I do that same process my jpeg pictures are coming out about 500 KB and I don't know why. By @Bill Gass   The file size of a jpg is determined by three factors. Pixel dimensions Quality setting Image content Because of the way jpg compression works, image content can have a huge influence on file size. Images with predominantly flat, smooth, or out of focus areas are easy to compress, and will have a relatively small file size. Images with lots of sharp, busy detail (or noise) are harder to compress, and will have a relatively large file size.   450 x 299, Quality 85, 40 kb   450 x 299, Quality 85, 145 kb ... View more

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue in Photoshop: when trying to change colors, instead of Photoshop's default color window, the Windows color window pops up.

Your GPU is 13 years old, and the latest driver is from July last year, which indicates that Nvidia has stopped supporting it. You have version 473.81 from August 2022, try updating to the latest which is 475.14. Your GPU only seems to support image display (not image processing), and you would get much better performance by upgrading to a modern GPU, for instance the RTX 3060. ... View more

Hello everyone, I'm struggling with a small problem under Lightroom Classic. I'm using macOS on an iMac M4. I have the problem that when I import images, they are permanently loaded onto the drive of the iMac. But I have my pictures on an external hard drive that is directly connected to the iMac. I have now tried to set the synchronization under the preferences in Lightroom. There is the point. "Specify a storage location for the synced images from Lightroom". I can also select my external hard drive here. Unfortunately, every time you reboot, this setting resets and images are loaded directly onto the M4's hard drive. Is this a mistake in the system or am I making a systematic mistake here? I would be very  happy about a tip By @Cologne_1   It sounds like you are using the Move or Copy option when importing instead of the Add option. The Add option will import the images from their current location (external drive) without any moving or copying.   ... View more

Hello, good afternoon. But I have a problem when using Photoshop's Camera Raw Filter. I have the latest versions of both apps and nothing that is resolved yet. What happens is that when you open the Camera Raw filter it is invisible or not visible, and all Photoshop is locked until I give it the Esc key. I have two monitors, I tried leaving only one, restarting the application, reinstalling and nothing works for me yet. Could you please help me? By @movilcell_6227 The Camera Raw window is probably on the other monitor. It will open on the monitor where you last closed it. If you cannot connect the other monitor, resetting the Camera Raw preferences should fix the issue. In Photoshop, go to Edit > Preferences > Camera Raw. Click Camera Raw with the Control key pressed.

If you don’t use ZIP compression for TIFF, then TIFF is not going to be smaller than PSD/PSB so there’s no point, just use PSD/PSB. Uncompressed TIFF files are huge, and TIFF+LZW compression doesn’t save as much as ZIP and in some cases can create larger files than PSD/PSB.  By @Conrad_C   My experience with Tiff compression is that LZW compression works very well with 8-bit files, and can reduce the file size considerably. LZW does not work well with 16-bit files, and can increase the file size. For 16-bit files, ZIP is the best option, but it doesn't compress as well as LZW does with 8-bit files, I typically get a 20-25% reduction in file size. ... View more

Another option is to use Tiff, which has a max file size of 4 GB. The Tiff format is widely supported, practically all image editors (and probably most image viewers) can open tiff files. ... View more

A monitor profile can get corrupted, but it can also be incompatible. When calibrating, make sure to create a version 2 (not version 4) ICC profile, with a Gamma (not LUT) tone curve. Adobe software tends to prefer these settings. Make sure to relaunch LrC and PS if running after the calibration.   If this doesn't help, please go to Help > System info in LrC, click the Copy button, and paste in a new reply.   ... View more

Difference in the display of the photo in LR and after export. I've been having this issue that I don't understand, the preview of the photo being edited is much worse than the photo after export. In the preview it even looks like the photo is blurry and in the result the sharpness is great, this is leading me to make mistakes in the curation of the photos. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve this situation. (translation from Google Translate)   Are you exporting without resizing (full size)? Are you applying output sharpening on export? Are you viewing the image at 100%?   If you are exporting without resizing and applying sharpening on export, the exported image will be sharper.

I don't think this is caused by a defective monitor profile. The three little circles on your thumbnails indicate a corrupted preview cache, which contains the Library previews. With LrC closed, go to the folder that contains the catalog, and delete the file whose name ends with Previews.lrdata Do not delete anything anything else. When you launch LrC, it will rebuild the previews as you browse folders in Library.   ... View more

Hello Adobe Community, I'm having a problem with Lightroom Classic 14.2.0.8 on Windows, and I've already tried several solutions without success. Problem: In the Library module, thumbnails of my photos are not displayed. I only see gray boxes instead. When I try to view an image in the browser, it disappears and I only see a gray screen. What I've already tried: Update the graphics card drivers (I have the most recent ones). Reset Lightroom's cache (I deleted the C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom folder). Delete the preview files (*.lrdata). Reset Lightroom settings by holding Shift + Alt when opening the application. Reinstall Lightroom Classic (I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version from Creative Cloud). Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022. Disable the antivirus temporarily in case it was blocking any files. Trying different catalogs (the problem happens with all of them). The problem only occurs in Lightroom Classic. In Lightroom (cloud) and Photoshop everything works fine. I would greatly appreciate it if someone has a solution or has faced a similar problem. Thank you in advance! By @Valeria_Mu�oz7103   This can be caused by a defective or incompatible monitor profile. As troubleshooting, and as a possible temporary fix, try setting the monitor profile to sRGB (use Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor).   With LrC closed, press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl in the box and press Enter. Add the sRGB (or Adobe RGB) profile, then set it as default. If this fixes the issue, you should ideally calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator. This will also create and install a custom monitor profile that will be more accurate than sRGB or Adobe RGB.   ... View more
