Hi, everybody. Although it seems strange to share Lightroom tips with all that is going on in the world and here with the virus, I suppose we should do so rather than focus on the bad news. Note: Check out my Blog today to get an update on my live seminars in Houston and LA and the Coronavirus. Adobe’s Julieanne […]

This is a cool tip from the vault: you can “spray on” the preset that you want in Lightroom Classic Library’s Library module (using the Paint Can, which is located along the toolbar at the bottom of thumbnail grid). You can apply the preset to any thumbnail you drag in the Grid view.

Lightroom Classic users often self-injure themselves by renaming folders. It is easy to do in LrC and there are ways outside of LrC that you can accomplish the same thing (but they’re even more difficult). LrC searches for and retrieves photos using the path of each photo on your computer. The path on a Mac starts with […]

Lightroom Classic will not freak out. It was a long title, but I did what I had to do. I had my entire photo library on two external hard drives, each with a 2TB capacity. One of the drives started making that strange sound that you don’t want to hear from your drives. I decided to change […]

After my last post about applying color labels on photos I wanted to share with you how to extend this practice to folders, collections and even folders. Applying color labels to folders and collections Adobe added the option to color-code folders and collection in the past couple of years. You’ll need to think about how you might use […]
