Actually they do - it's in Preferences for PSD and PSB.
For TIFF it's in the secondary options dialog that comes up after the Save dialog.
But the main problem is that all the compression algorithms seem outdated. They work well for small file sizes, where you don't need it, but timings blow up completely when encoding file sizes of current standards.
For TIFF, zip is the only real option. The LZW algorithm was made for 8 bit data and doesn't work well on 16 bit data, where it usually increases file size.
The practical question is whether it's worth the trouble. Does it really matter if a file is 5 GB or 4 GB? Those sizes will eat up your drives in no time regardless, and it seems to be much better use of your time and energy to have a strategy for expanding disk space as needed. Because it will be.

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:

Sorry, After going back to the web page I am making in Word...I can add or open or see the files I created before and they are roughly 1500 x 700 and about 1meg + and when I add those to my Word page they look great and are the size I want but when I add files I have made recently with PS they are all 500-700 kb and load up on Word as a small picture...Makes no sense at all, something has changed in PS I believe because it's not working the way it has before. .

So what option are you using? Copy, Move or Add?
Please post a screenshot of the entire Import dialog.
Do not attach the screenshot, use the Insert Photos button to embed it in your post.

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. This makes my workflow difficult as I'm used to Photoshop's color window tools and interface.

You can change the color picker to Adobe in Edit > Preferences > General.

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.

Thank you for this post. This just happened to me and sent me into a bit of a panic. I couldn't find my original catalog anywhere and figured it had been overwritten or something. As it turned out it was on the external drive where I keep my photos. I thought it was on the interal drive and didn't look closely at the external one. In my case I suspect the external drive wasn't ready when lightroom looked for the catalog so it asked to load a different one and I selected the only one on the list. I didn't realize I was loading an older, empty catalog and once the upgrade was done everything was gone. Then it didn't show my original catalog when I tried the 'open recent' and I didn't know where to look under 'open catalog'.

thank you for the reply. I ended up restoring for a previous backup and this resolved the issue. it seemed that the file must have been corrupted during the upgrade process. now it all works as it should again. 🤩

It turns out that the problem is associated with my Wacom tablet. When I perform the above function with just the mouse, they still work fine. The Wacom tablet seems to have a lag, and sometimes it just seems to ignore my pen drops. I'm working this our with Wacom now. It has nothing to do the the 15 plugins I have. It never has, but that was a good idea to check. I also went through the performance checklist and found no issues.

OK, that is interesting, because Lightroom Classic is now included in the Lightroom plan as well. So the OP can disregard our advice and continue to use this odd workflow...

I had the same issue and went back and fourth between editing, exporting, viewing. Not the best solution, but it worked for me. also setting a scong monitor as viewing monitor somehow showed me the image i would see after exporting. There simply is no real solution to this issue. I feel like Per wanted to help and comes from a place of a lot of experience which sometimes makes it hard to understand. We all had the same issue, you're not alone. No reason to get that mad tho(:

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.
Click Yes in the dialog that follows.

Workaround: The team has reported a method to bring things to rights again. "
Set WB to Auto
Set WB to As Shot
Now, the values will be as expected, and the tint will no longer be there. Note that they may also need to clear the LR cache for those images so the Library module shows the expected rendering."
Doing this in Grid view with the Quick Collections tools should allow you to accomplish this for many affected images.

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.
Please post screenshots of the original and the exported image at 100% view.
Do not attach the screenshots, use the Insert Photos button in the toolbar to insert them in your post.

Reinstalling does not reset Preferences, but before you do that, is this all the time regardless of what tool or function is selected? If it was only with the Brush tool, for instance, then resetting that tool would restore it to its defaults.
A full manual preference reset would be the way to go me thinks.
https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually
Let us know if that fixes it. I am not sure where we'd go from there though.

Just using RESET may not get you back to the image without the import settings being applied. RESET just resets the image to the imported state. There are two included presets in LrC and one sets the image to Adobe Default and is called ADOBE DEFAULT and is located in the Default preset section. I placed this in Favorites and turned off the Default section. The other is Zeroed and it is in the Classic-General preset section. This sets all sliders to zero.

If you want to do some actual editing of the .crw files before a conversion, then open source editors like Raw Therapee or darktable can do that.
