Try these suggestions that can help you optimize Lightroom on your computer. • • • • Converting Lightroom CC trial into serialized Lightroom 6 All Lightroom 6 or Lightroom CC trials are branded with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC. • Make sure the Brush Flow and Density are NOT set at very low values.

Where do I save the changes I make to my images? With Lightroom’s parametric non-destructive editing, the changes you’ve made while processing your images are automatically saved in the Catalog.

You do not need to save the changes for them to stick within Lightroom. If you want to share the image with the adjustments applied you can export a copy directly from Lightroom. Why is there a question mark on some of my images (or why are they grayed out when importing?) You probably have reorganized (by moving or renaming) your images from the specific locations Lightroom is looking for them in, and this is the cause for the missing link icon. • What is a preset? How do I get that same effect? Brett Nemecek has created a great resource for working with presets and Lightroom • Why doesn’t my version of Lightroom support my camera? Speed Meter Pro Activation Key. Jeffrey Tranberry’s article answers a number of questions, including how often we update for new cameras, and how to get the latest camera support in older versions of Lightroom.

• Why use Lightroom instead of Bridge?, Julieanne Kost helps you decide which application is right for your workflow by explaining the differences between Lightroom and Bridge for managing images and assets. Which is better, single or multiple catalogs?, Julieanne answers one of the most commonly asked questions “If should you use a single catalog for all of your photographs or if you should you use multiple catalogs?”. As a general rule, she recommends that you use as few as possible, but discusses when using multiple could be beneficial.

How do I combine my catalogs into a master catalog?, Julieanne demonstrates how to combine individual Lightroom catalogs into a single, “Master” Lightroom catalog to simplify a photographers workflow and enable multi-shoot searching. How do I set up Photoshop Elements as an External Editor? If you’ve selected Photoshop Elements as Lightroom’s external editor, make sure you choose the “Photoshop Elements Editor” NOT the alias for Photoshop Elements (which launches the Welcome Screen). Why has the Edit In Photoshop command stopped working? If the Edit In Photoshop command has stopped working, resetting Lightroom’s preferences will likely resolve the issue. Follow these steps to reset Lightroom’s preferences: • Quit Lightroom • • Start Lightroom and • Try the Edit In Photoshop command again How to I use the copyright © symbol in Lightroom? Windows: Hold Alt and press 0169 on the numpad Mac: Hold Option and press G Can I use Adobe Revel with Lightroom 5?

The plug-in required to publish directly from Lightroom to Adobe Revel is no longer available. To see how to quickly import your photos into from a web browser, read the following FAQ: Can’t see Lightroom 5 update from your CreativeCloud account? • Launch Adobe Application Manager. • Click in the upper left-hand corner on your name • Choose Sign-Out, then sign back in If there is a “Download” link next to Lightroom, that download should be Lightroom 5.

If you have already downloaded and installed but still Lightroom 4.x continues to open up. Make sure that you are starting the Lightroom 5 application and not the Lightroom 4.x version.

How do I fix SmugMug errors? SmugMug recently released an update to their Lightroom plug-in which addresses the, “Can’t update this collection” error seen when exporting. The updated plugin (v. 2.0.1.13), is available here: What are some extra Lightroom 5 resources?

I;m an Adobe Revel premium user who just upgraded from Lightroom 4.4 to Lightroom 5. All plug-ins except Revel were transferred with the upgrade.

I followed the link from within Lightroom Plug-In Exchange to the Revel plug-in download site, downloaded the Revel Plug-in (for Windows). The file was rejected as dangerous by my Norton software, but I forced the download anyway. The plug-in appears in my Libraries folder, but when I attempt to add the Revel plug-in from the Lightroom 5 Plug-In Manager, it doesn’t appear in the folder to which it is downloaded. I had no problem using Revel publishing services in Lightroom 4.4. Do you know why my Lightroom 5 Plug-In Manager does not recognize the updated Revel plug-in file, thereby making adding it to my Lightroom publishing services impossible?

I’m currently using LR5 trial version. (I have LR4). First problem is that the gradient filter only allows me to use once, when I try use a second time everything is effected. Secondly some of the development tools disappear mid use, even when cursor is not on them, I can replace them but it’s frustrating. Are these just quirks of trial version? I watched lots of tutorials but can never find any that talk about the “detail” window, would love to know how to use this or at least what is function?

In the LR 5 book module – the templates section with mini small previews off the drop-down list while viewing a page... Under the Creative link it shows some “torn edge looks” which are available for single and double images on page but none for 3 or 4 or more images on a page. Of course I had a wedding client who liked the look of the torn edge and wanted it applied to all the pages sooo... The question is – is there a way to make your own or modify an existing torn edge look to include more images instead of just two or one on a page??

In photoshop I go to bridge open files, work. And save, easy. Lightromm.I want to work on one specific file ( preferably in the same evening ) but I have to wait 3 days while it imports all the photos on my sd card and then i have to go through the process off deleting all the unwanted files day after day after day.

I hate Lightroom and yet I know its got all the potential I require to get the uncommpromised image I want. Why are the answers so elusive, why is the software so cockhanded. I’ve watched dozens of youtube tutorials and still nothing. I hate Lightroom. Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1.

Seeing enhancements in performance and range of features, the sixth edition of Lightroom includes a pair of Merge modes, HDR and Panorama, for seamlessly compositing multiple images together to increase dynamic range or the overall field of view of photographs, respectively. Facial Recognition technology is now employed to help organize and access your photos of people quickly, and overall updates to the performance of the program accelerate processing and enhancement speeds. Rounding out the post-production workflow, this edition of Lightroom also allows you to create advanced video slideshows of your imagery and produce HTML5-compatible web galleries for sharing your work in more dynamic ways. The range of features unique to Lightroom 6 serve to complement the already impressive set of tools found in previous iterations of Lightroom, including Smart Previews for working with your photos while offline from your library, rich metadata editing capabilities, Develop presets for applying one-click effects to imagery, an Advanced Healing Brush for intelligently retouching photos, and a wide assortment of sharing and exporting options.

Unique Features for Lightroom 6 Editing, Sharing, and Performance Enhancements • HDR Merge is a seamless means for compositing multiple exposures within a single frame in order to achieve an extended dynamic range with greater shadow and highlight detail. This tool helps to align sequentially recorded frames and average the exposure values from each to produce natural or surreal effects.• Panorama Merge aids in stitching together several files, including raw images, in order to create wide field of view panoramas. This tool helps to maintain a high degree of detail and prevent unwanted distortions and gaps or overlaps between frames.• Facial Recognition is a unique solution for sourcing photos of specific people without the use of metadata, tags, or keywords. Organize and Work Efficiently Smart Previews Smart Previews permits working with your imagery without having to bring your entire image library with you. By generating smaller, more portable stand-in files of your full-size imagery, you can apply adjustments and update metadata and then automatically apply these edits to the larger originals at a later time. Develop Presets Develop settings can be saved as presets for instantly applying your favorite looks to photos with a single click.

Upright Upright allows you to straighten tilted images with a single click by analyzing and detecting skewed horizontal and vertical lines.

This function works even when the horizon line is obscured or hidden.
