Ed Rooney Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Adobe LR Classic CC is refusing to recognize my files. I tried restarting my MacBook Air 13", but Safari won't quit, so I can't restart. I can't deal with any of this today, but have any of you got thoughts on what's going on here? Thanks, Edo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFL Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Have you tried to close it by holding 'Option'+'Command'+'esc' (force quit) at the same time? If it doesn't work, I would press and hold the power button to turn it off (I suppose if you do that, Safari will open again when you restart. So it is not a solution)?

MizBrown Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Remove and reinstall LR Classic and Camera Raw? You should be able to do a Force Quit on Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Here I am again. Sorry. I've learned how to force quit Safari and other apps . . . but again I'm having the problem of LR Classic saying 'they don't recognize my files.' I uninstall LR and then reinstall. It's still not recognizing my file. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Adobe took control of my MacBook and fix the problem. It was unbelievably complex. But I just observed. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDoug Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 This may not solve Edo's problem, but, FYI, Capture One has been offering a free version dedicated to specific camera brands, e.g., Fuji, Sony. I opted for the Fuji download and find I prefer it over LR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDoug Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I guess so*. I like the Fuji version well enough that I'll spring for the Pro version as soon as some other obligations are out of the way. Other than the dehaze slider, I don't miss much about Lightroom (which I still have). Running comparisons, I prefer the look of Capture One. Are you referring to the free "Capture One Express" version for Sony? *I checked, and yes, it's the Express version. It seems pretty adequate, although I'd still use Lightroom for some things, e.g., panoramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall download the latest version. I'm currently using an older (and free at the time) version of DxO OpticsPro Elite, which I like, but it would be nice to have an alternative as well. Does the Express version do a good job on noise reduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However C1 does have the option to keyword using the icon shown below. It appears to have picked up keywords that I used for a similar photo that was keyworded in PS. No idea how it does that.

I use Neat Image when I need noise reduction. I suppose a little more curiosity wouldn't be a bad thing. I tend to find something I like and stick with it. My reason for trying C1 is that I don't particularly like LR, nor do I like paying 11,89 EUR per month to Adobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like software with simple interfaces (being somewhat simple myself). I find that DxO does an excellent job on noise, but it does have some shortcomings, which all programs do of course. I too tend to stick with stuff that I like, sometimes for too long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought of keywording in C1, but it looks like just going down the list and clicking the appropriate ones might be pretty quick and easy.

Yes that looks good but will it also fill in the fields required by Alamy or will we need to move those keywords to the fields ourselves?

Allan I just tried it out, clicked on a few of the keywords and exported the image. Then opened it in Photoshop and couldn't find the keywords in any of the metadata fields. For me, it seems simpler to continue to keyword in Photoshop and export to the Template folder when I want to use the same keyword set again later.
