Ah, I just realised. Importing the NEF raw file without the xmp file solves the problem. I did not expect Lightroom to read any of that kind of "jpeg" data. ACR just reads a raw file as 'flat', ...

Hello, I'm having some problems with Lightroom and a folder of photos that were taken as RAW+JPEG (with the b+w setting, just for reference / an experiment). Having imported the RAW files into ...

Great. Thanks for that, Ron.

Hi Carey, thanks for your help. Sorry it's taken me a long while to reply. I still have not had time to spend getting started with Lightroom (and it might be a few months yet before I get my ...

Thank you Ernstbk. That's really helpful. Sorry for my slow acknowledgement!

Hi Ernstbk, Thank you very much for all the information. Will read this through this afternoon with full concentration! Meanwhile, just had a Bridge problem. I can't save metadata to JPEGs. It ...

Hello, Back here again after an absence. I am slowly organising my photos and folders via Bridge. It still might take me a while due to limited time. Definitely going to start using Lightroom once ...

Hello, Does anyone know the life expectancy of Nikon NEF RAW files taken on a D80? Will these files still be supported by software such as Lightroom five or ten years from now. Should I be thinking ...

Hi Rob, Thanks. I’m going to look into Bridge templates. Any kind of JPEG (whether a JPEG from my phone or a JPEG edited from RAW) is simply terrible quality when shown in Bridge. I’ve experienced ...

Hi Rob, Thanks for your comments. A few clarifications: 1. I have gone to “Apple Photos” > Preferences , but cannot find the option to "always open" in “Photos” in order to turn it off. I have ...

Hello, New computer – Time Machine transfer was great but one or two minor things to resolve. When I insert a camera memory card, Apple’s “Photos” opens. I don’t want to use that – partly because I ...

For quite a few years I have used Nikon ViewNX2 – just a photo viewer – alongside Adobe Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw. I liked how I could add basic metadata via Nikon Transfer and in ViewNX2, and ...

Interesting! But wouldn't it take quite a lot of organising to distribute batches of 100 photos from a hundreds of folders of thousands of photos? I remember when I used to back things up on CDs, ...

Hi Gandolphi, Thanks for sharing your workflow details. I will look into the Breeze downloader. :-)

Thanks, Kelly. I see. However, I feel like it would be good to at least name all folders in a consistent way, and re-organise the folder structures (as I currently have a mess of folders in ...

Hi Robert, okay, thanks. I will follow your advice. And if I do ever make any changes that are going to be problematic, I will keep track of them on a spreadsheet, as KCook suggested. Otherwise ...

Hi ernstbk, thanks. I am going to spend time re-organising my photos and folders first, before getting into using LR. This might take me quite a few months due to lack of time, but it’s good to ...

Hi Carey, I appreciate the information you provided and your helpful comments / word of caution. This is something that had crossed my mind a few times in the past when considering Lightroom. I ...

Hi Kelly, Thanks for the further explanation. Okay, I’m going to make a spreadsheet as I begin to re-organise all my folders (before getting into Lightroom).
