If DxO changes the pixels and creates a new DNG with the changed pixels, then you could do it that way. If DxO doesn't change the pixels but just writes its edits to DNG, then you could not ...

There's lots of software with no subscription. But anyway, I want to point out the drawbacks of LR 6 ownership at this time. If you know how to do this and want to put in the time and effort, yes ...

I don't know the answer about geographical restrictions. But please be aware that LR 6 is software that is unsupported by the manufacturer, meaning: NO technical support, NO updates, NO bug fixes, ...

Well, it's easy to test. Get a new card, get a new card reader, if the problem goes away, then it is one of those. If the problem remains, then the camera sensor is a likely culprit.

It could also indicate a defect in the camera sensor.

Meaning what? That you remember the dates of all of your tens of thousands of photos? Or you make keyword Christmas, and not change the folder name, and then you can call up ALL Christmas photos ...

Individual folders by date: there is a setting in the Import dialog box that controls this. It on the right, under Destination. It says: Date Format, there is a dropdown menu which lets you select ...

Well, you seem comfortable taking the risk of not checking the integrity of the catalog, and not optimizing. I am not comfortable doing this. Furthermore, when we talk about rare events such as ...

Except that Lightroom's catalog backup performs two useful and important and in my opinion 100% necessary functions — optimizing the catalog, and testing the integrity of the catalog. Making a ...

I add that while the above is written for LR, it applies to any photographic software you might use. You need to determine what are the important things to back-up, and then you must make regular ...

First, you don't make it clear WHAT you are making backups of ... so ... let me point out that you must make backups of your photos, and your LR catalog file (using the built-in catalog backup ...

You would need to find some web site that sells Lightroom 5 or Lightroom 6. Adobe does not sell it any more. Please understand that these older versions of Lightroom are not supported (you can't ...

No, I don't have a script, but if the photos are all in subfolders of a single parent folder, then reconnecting the files would take (probably a lot less than) one minute. I guess I don't consider ...

So the DNG converter works by selecting the folder that contains the images (single-click on the folder); not opening the folder (double-click on the folder) and seeing the images. At no time ...

What does "no longer seeing the files" mean? Explain in detail. State the exact steps you are following, and exactly what happens (or what doesn't happen that you expect to happen). If there is an ...

Oh, good, another argument over subscription pricing. We haven't had enough of those. There are plenty of other defenses, by the way. And I'm now going to skip the rest of this thread.

As far as I know, virtual copies cannot be in a separate folder than the original. I would highly recommend you abandon this idea of having edited photos in a separate folder. Not only is it not ...

I don't think there is a workflow where both work on the RAW, because one program will not understand the results of the other program's edits. That's why a TIF is a necessary intermediate step if ...

A particularly poor idea when using LR. Your original is always kept unchanged, because the LR editor does not change your original image. When you edit, the display on your computer screen shows ...

LR's backup of the catalog DOES retain virtual copies.
