  1. I've been doing the 365 Project since December of last year and ran into an organizational problem in Lightroom which I have now resolved. I made it a free plugin for those interested!

  2. See this image edited now on YouTube youtu.be/qjOkFgq2pxI?si=esalYz I was met with blue skies at Wheal Peevor so pointed the camera towards the sun to get this sunburst.
    In the video I show how to use HDR Merge in Adobe Lightroom to combine exposures for this high contrast scene.

  3. LrC: Sync Smart Collections with Adobe Cloud

    Lightroom Classic (LrC) is fantastic for organizing large photo catalogs… but one longstanding limitation has frustrated many people: you cannot sync Smart Collections directly to Adobe’s cloud ecosystem (Lightroom CC for mobile/web). Only regular collections can be synced.

    To work around this, plugins like Any Source have already implemented clever solutions but I wanted something that fit my own workflow better. That’s why I created the LrC Smart Collection Sync plugin to mirror smart collections into regular collections for syncing, with a few improvements I needed myself.

    Lightroom Classic won’t let you sync Smart Collections directly, so:

    • This plugin automatically mirrors selected smart collections as regular collections.
    • Those mirror collections can then be synced through Lightroom Classic’s built-in sync to mobile/web/cloud.

    The Any Source plugin does that too, but my plugin also:

    • Lets you set the interval when background syncing occurs, from 10 seconds to 300. This is how often mirroring of smart collections with normal collections happens, not syncing with the Adobe Cloud.
    • Automatically pause sync while editing (so it doesn’t interrupt your workflow)

    All this makes syncing smart collections more streamlined and controllable.

    Back in 2020 I posted here about using Any Source, and I’ve been using it ever since, but I never used any of the other features of that fine software and I wondered if it would be difficult to write my own mirroring plugin with the help of Claude Code that is.

    The result is a new, simpler plugin. It’s also open source if that matters to you.

    Install

    Installation is easy enough:

    • Clone or download the plugin by clicking on the CODE button and clicking the “Download ZIP” link.
    • Place lrc-smart-collection-sync.lrplugin in your Lightroom or Pictures directory.
    • Add it through File → Plug-in Manager in LrC.

    When enabled, it will add 2 new menus to Plug-in Extras:

    • Smart Collection Sync…
    • Sync Now

    Usage

    • Go to File > Plug-in Extras > Smart Collection Sync…
    • Select the smart collections you want to mirror
    • Set your sync interval
    • Enable auto sync or run a manual sync

    Check “No sync while in Develop” to disable syncing while you’re working on a photo. I noticed while editing photos that Any Source would sometimes sync, and the syncing action became part of the undo which was annoying.

    Once the collections are created, tell LrC to sync them with the Adobe Cloud. You can now edit them in Lightroom.

    This is the first release of the plugin. It seems to work ok for me. If it takes a while for the configuration window to appear, optimize your Lightroom Catalogue. That really helped me. I guarantee nothing except that this will take up space on your computer!

    I don’t have any “new release” checks added but I’ll post here about major changes, or you can watch the GitHub repository to get updates.

    PS. The Any Source plugin is really a great plugin with many more features. If you use Lightroom Classic you’ll probably find something in there that will be useful.

  4. Luminar Neo Disappoints

    I’ve been a Lightroom Classic user since 2003. For over two decades, it’s been the foundation of my entire photographic workflow. So when I added Luminar Neo, it was only for one reason: AI-powered sharpening without abandoning Lightroom. The integration isn’t real.

  7. Download #macOS14 #Sonoma mit #macos12 #monterey Backup im Vordergrund … Ich bin nervös und hoffe, dass ich jetzt nichts gestartet habe, was ich in 1-2 Stunden bereuen werde und womit ich dann bis Neujahr beschäftigt bin 🫣
    Aber für aktuelle iOS Entwicklungen ist das jetzt erforderlich und auch #LightroomClassic möchte auch Monterey nichts neueres mehr laufen lassen … hilft ja alles Nix …

    Just found out is increasing their prices on Jan 15 2025. I could technically lock in the photography 20gb price if I switch to annual, but maybe it's time to say goodbye to . If I were to go the free route I'd choose for DAM + for raws. For a perpetual licence option— or , but since I already have , I'm leaning towards C1.

  13. Moved over from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom. Kinda forced, since Lightroom Classic doesn't run on my new laptop with its Snapdragon CPU (ARM).

    First, I was slightly upset about me not knowing beforehand, now though, after playing around a little bit, I feel I can make the jump. Lightroom seems modern and lighter in processing. Also I like the idea of not being dependent on a proprietary catalog file.

  14. I think I know why Lightroom Classic (13.4) is acting so very slow when I now import files. Even when I have syncing disabled, it's syncing with the cloud. It's generating smart previews of lots of files.

    Unfortunately, when it's a large import like today's photos from #CorkPride, it makes Lightroom almost unusable for a few hours.

    Must test again in the morning when I'm not exhausted.
    Edit: I had sync disabled for most of the evening, but not all the time.

    Really enjoying shooting with the but it's a shame the AI denoise in Lightroom Classic doesn't support the files from the series. Hope a patch is coming soon.

    I've started using again on my (took a long break from it as I couldn't run the latest LR updates on my with ). Sadly, even with 16GB ram, I'm running into the yellow memory pressure zone... With swap hovering from 500MB to 2GB, and even up to 5.78GB at one point. I already quit all other apps. When I do upgrade, I definitely need a Pro chip for my with at least 32GB RAM.
