thanks man

Thank you soooo much! You are great at explaining things. I've been trying to figure out how I lost photos. What do I do when I want to print photos in jpg so I export them to my computer to send them off to a company. Then they are now moved out of lightroom? Is that correct? So I have to reconnect them?

How do you recover collections?

You saved me. Thank you :-)

I know this is 2 years old but this may help some people. All my PSD files and jpeg files vanished from my PC and the Adobe Cloud. I thought for sure all was lost. Where I found the files was the last place I thought they would be. If you use Microsoft 365 included in it is OneDrive which makes backups of just about everything on your PC. I logged into my OneDrive account then clicked on "My Files". Low and behold there was a folder in the listing with the same name as the one on my Desktop. Apparently OneDrive made a backup of all my PS files that I wasn't aware of. Thank goodness it did. I selected the folder and pressed download and now years of hard work are restored. I dont understand why my Desktop folder was depleted and not simply copied by OneDrive..that is still a mystery to me. God bless and have a great day.😊

just came here to say THANK YOU!

This was very helpful :) Thank you! This may seem like a silly question but I've followed the video and put my Lightroom catalog and photos on an external hard-drive, I also want to back it up on another hard-drive like you show in the video, but I'm wondering would the back up atomically update or would I need to leave both hard drives plugged in? Also If I was to swap from my Mac to editing on the go on my Mac book I would simply just plug my hard drive into the Mac book to access the Lightroom catalog on my MacBook wouldn't I? Hop this makes sense?

this adds a white layer mask, regardless of your selection. if you click the layer mask button, it will create a mask based on your selection, as intended. So this shortcut key is NOT the same as clicking the button.

Thank you!

Great job, I tried 3~4 different ways to organize my LR catalog in the past from various advises and turns out by year/month/date/extension(descriptions) is the best. I’m a landscape photographer, may be that’s why.

Great video Mike. So I use my SanDisk External SSD to store my LRC catalog and all my images. When I exit LRC, once a week is selected to perform the backup and it is set to go to the desktop of my M1 MacBook. I do also use BackBlaze. So would it be better to make a folder on that SanDisk SSD for catalog backups and then change within the LRC settings for the backups to go to this folder? Was not sure if that would mess anything up on that SSD since that’s what I work from. I am ordering another SSD and purchasing CCC to copy over from the main SSD to the new SSD. Thank you for any advice.

I received my R5ii I can just say: love it. But it's so more complicated fore me than old 5d iv😂😂😂 Thank you so much friend for touching us how to use It

I honestly don't know why I've been dealing with this dumb feature for 2 years before googling how to turn this off / revert back to legacy. Would've saved me hundreds of hours. Thanks!

scam

I kept pausing then gave up.

I have an interesting question here: besides my regular cameras, i frequently use a Pixel 7 for my pictures. And in most cases, I actually prefer the JPG over the RAW file (there is a lot of computng done by google on the photos). So I'd like to make the JPG the default visualization, not the RAW file. So my use case would be to bundle the JPG and RAW as one file (otherwise culling becomes a nightmare), but I want to cull it looking at the JPG file, not the RAW. Do you know if that is possible?

Thank you!!! This has been such a silly change of Adobe! I put up with it for a year now -_-

LMAO at casually using one of the most insane landscape shots I've ever seen as an example image. Holy frijoles.

Easier way: press CROP tool, on top bar (STRAIGHTEN / VIEW: RULE OF THIRDS / DELETE CROPPED PIXELS) there is a STRAIGHTEN option button, press that and draw a line along the horizon, it will straight the horizon and auto crop the background showing around the straightened image. All easy in just one step.

That was so quick and simple!! Thank you for this video!

As of today, this no longer works. They just plain force it on you now. Is Adobe speed running the 'how to alienate your user base' handbook? It's gotten so bad, just opening Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Indesign or Premiere makes me cringe. Instead of fixing existing bugs and improving features, they are more concerned about releasing half assed updates and features nobody wants, forcing workflows on you, changing established tool behaviors, and introducing new major bugs with everything they do. It's just gone from innovative to tedious in the past decade.

Doesn't work if you're running CS6 and do not want to pay a monthly sub. PLEASE UPDATE!

i feel like an idiot for asking this but i have searched everywhere trying to find where to turn off eye tracking. I will want it most of the time but there are times i do not. Can you PLEASE tell me where to turn this off??

6:42 "no keyboard shortcut to create a layer mask" edit > keyboard shortcuts > layer > layer mask > reveal all (I made my shift+ctrl+m) You're welcome

Just tell us the basic way to import. Not interestede in your particular way. we are new to this. Just thge basics is want we want.

Very helpful. Thanks so much! For some reason my Photoshop switched back to its default settings. An upgrade I guess. Anyway, my regular 'Save As' is back thanks to your instructions!

after changing the default file 'location to on your pc', it still showing the cloud save dialog. need help

The latest version just came out, and it looks a little different. After I installed the new version, it immediately updated the firmware on one of my cameras. I'm wondering if that is an improvement on the app. No one's made videos on the latest version yet.

Hey Mike, my catalogue is huge is there a way to create a new catalogue with just my photos from 2024 still in it with the edited files still saved? I`m super scared of starting a new and everything being deleted

Thank you, was really helpful.

Nice job, looking forward to seeing your other videos.

it could also be annotated with a -2 if a photo was exported into another program or editor and reimported to Lightroom, so the -2 could be the enhanced version. It would be good to see both side by side and see whether they are located in the same directory also a direct comparison could be made to verify before deletion. But given Lightroom cannot even be bothered to enable users to have the most recent photo directories at the top, the most basic of expectations, I realise why people have given up and left in droves. Almost 20 years and we have to scroll past every directory; listed to get to the most recent one as reverse order is not an option, get better options in free software. Thanks for your video though a great starting point.

good turorial, short and clear!😀

Life saving tip thank you :)

YOU SAVED MY LIFE!! Thanks for this, it has been driving me insane!

Thanks! Just got mine. 👍🏼

aaaand the option is gone. fckers :D

I'll stick with my R5, all the new on R5.ii are gimmicks that no real photographer needs, that's just more to go wrong with the camera

The Canon R5 is STILL the BEST Photography camera GOING !

Thanks for your video - You may want to correct your video, at 4:33 you say you are leaving your shutter set to electronic but you actually chose mechanical.

Great Video. Easy to follow. Especially for people who are new to R5 menu system.

Would love if you would for videos for settings for Astro, for landscape etc to get the most out of your R5ii. I’m saving up for mine

Great video Mike! Just got the R5ii about a week ago and this certainly helped me in tweaking the setup.

Great video, thank you! Subscribed for your future tutorials.

Mike, Nice job on this walk thru.

Thank you

Nice video! I do have one slight gripe, though. In my experience, using focus priority does not always result in a sharper shot. I've had cameras still miss after using that setting. Hence, your use of the phrase "sharp and sharper" (or whatever you said, an hour has gone by since i heard that part of the video) is just not accurate even though that setting seem to imply such. The downside of using focus priority is that it can cause the camera to not fire in the precise instant you want it to, thus throwing you off your game. With today's high frame-rate camera, I feel it is better to just let the camera go when you tell it to and then let the camera re-attain the subject in the first few shots after firing. For me, I usually get it by the third or fourth shot, if i didn't get it on the first one. Oh, you forgot to add a boost button that you press to enable to H+ fps setting. Have a good one!

Thank You! Looking forward to your eye focus video.

Thanks!
