The 'Everything Adobe Lightroom' Thread

Ghost in the files or something silly... it's doing the exact same think in LR5.7 on my rMBP... but I am certain that there is nothing wrong with the files as they're red by OSX & W8.1 & Photoshop!?

EDIT: Nevermind... looks like there is some minor corruption in about 8 of the files that LR just can't seem to work around... even though there's no problem in other software... cut them out of the main add & I'm back to normal again :)

Lightroom Mobile is so good!

Spent last night watching TV while rejecting my way through 3000 images of our last wedding on the iPad. Absolutely love it, a quick swipe down to reject and it moves onto the next image.

It's only useful if you've got all your raws on your mobile or if you use CC.

It can't connect to a network folder and scan your raws or anything.

I use CC, seems to generate smart previews then as long as you have wifi it lets you flick through, reject, edit and crop. I did only try this in my own house downstairs but I thought it all worked online through CC?

So for example I thought I could take my ipad (once fully synced to my catalog at home), away with me for work and then reject from the hotel wifi?
 
is LR 6 stand alone exempt from the dehaze tool?

Correct, LR6 stand alone will not get any new tool additions throughout the life of the product, only bug fixes and the odd Camera/lens profile updates. New tools are apparently restricted to the CC subscription edition. Nice of Adobe that isn't it, you stump up around £110 up front and don't get the stuff that the people who pay £9 a month get?!?!

It's not even £9 per month if you install the trial and then don't bother to buy it, they start emailing you offers after a few weeks :p

Difference is, the people paying £9 per month will pay virtually the same as your up front cost over the course of a year long sub but most will keep paying it after too, you're not going to be stumping up £110 every year are you? So the monthly customers are more valuable to them really.

Great cheers Adobe :mad:

As LR6 and CC are basically the same. Yes I agree it P'd me off as well. Slowly but surely I'm weaning myself off everything adobe.
Lightroom is going to be difficult to replace though. I'll have to re-calibrate my processing style on something like Capture One . I don't have the time to do it right now, but once I have then I can remove myself from the Adobe ecosystem.

It could be £1 per month. Allot of people just don't like renting. Some people have the foresight to see that this whole renting business model will put them in a more vulnerable position long-term when Adobe decides to milk it's subscription base. Considering Adobe is currently way less profitable than Prior to CC, it will have to increase pricing substantially somewhere down the road.

Exactly.
Sucker people in with percieved low pricing and bang, get ready for the rental increases. Adobe can swing, they aren't having another penny from me.

Cyberlink Photodirector seems to be the closest I've found to LR so far and I actually prefer some of ways it does things, Capture One seems ok as well.
 
I don't like Cyberlink products in general, always seem to notice little processes they install that runs even when the main app is not active.

I'll stick to Lightroom standalone, happy to pay the £75 odd on each major release. Photoshop will remain CS5 as I don't need anything beyond that. I like the way both LR and PS integrate back and forth between each other. It completes my workflow.
