Back to zero (or "Screw up") the Lightroom preferences file

Hello

in an effort to make the option change in the work of LR, I found the instructions I need to reset the LR preferences file. I followed the following, see below.

However, even with pressing option key on my iMac, as indicated, I can't file and the file. I don't have a library folder under my user name, but only under the hard drive, and I can find the files com.adobe.photoshop, but no files in LR. Can someone help me?

Preference and other locations of files in Lightroom 5

What is covered

Upward

Important information for all platforms

  • The files and the locations of files given here are default values. Some of these places can be customized in the Lightroom \Preferences or the catalog settings dialog boxes.
  • While troubleshooting, where possible, rename the files instead of remove them.
  • If possible, back up catalogs on another hard drive or a volume of the disk where your catalog is located. For more information about the backup in Lightroom, read back up a catalog with Lightroom and look at the backup catalog on Adobe TV. (The video has been produced for Lightroom 4 but still applies to Lightroom 5.)

Locations of files on Mac OS X

Note:

The user library file is hidden by default on Mac OS X 10.7 and later versions. For temporary access to the file library user, press Option and select go > library in the Finder.

The Lightroom application file

/ Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5. app

Preferences

/Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist

Catalog

/Users/[username]pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 5

The preview cache

/Users/[username]pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Previews.lrdata 5 catalog

Smart Preview cache

/Users/[username]pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata Smart

Locking of catalog file

/Users/[username]pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat.lock

Note: The locking file prevents the catalogue to be crushed when using.

Log file catalog

/Users/[user name]5 pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Catalog .lrcat - journal

Note: Open catalogs use the log file to check the incomplete database records. Do not delete the log file unless you delete its associated catalog, as well.

The Catalog backup

/Users/[user name]/[date and time of backup]Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 5

Models and pre-defined parameters

/Users/[user name]/ Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom /[folder preset or model]/[preset or template filename.lrtemplate]

Serial number

/Users/[user name]/ Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom 5.0 registration

Odd. Try this:

Make sure the Finder window is active.

Without press the Option key, click and hold the tab top Go to the screen, you see the drop-down list.

Without releasing the mouse, press the Option key.

See you on the drop-down list changes?

  • Back to zero/recalculate value if the element with dynamic action

    Hi all

    What I have is a part of "total amount". When the other elements on the form are filled, these values are subtracted from the total. My problem is that when a few points to say a filled out, but then set to zero, the figure in the total does not reset. If no new figure added, are more excluded.

    For example:
    total = 10
    Value of 1 changed to 5. Total = 5.
    Value of item 2 changed to 1. Total = 4.
    Value of 1 changed to 2. Total = 2.

    I find it tricky is because the total is derived from an action of current setpoint led other points. Finally, I would like to reset or re - run the calculation for the total, without duplicating the original action of the set value. I tried to use a dynamic action "Refresh" but I don't think that work in this way. Is there another way?

    Why not save the original value to an item hidden page (or even in a global variable set before you run the JS calculation for the first time in javascript).
    During the reset, set the value of the element with the value of the hidden (or variable).

  • The Lightroom export file size: why it's so small? How can I maximize the picture quality?

    My image file size is much smaller after editing and export through Lightroom. It is impossible to maintain the size of the original file in order to preserve image quality? This small file size will have a negative impact on the prints? Any help is appreciated!

    The file size is not an indicator of picture quality! You are looking at the wrong measure.

    File size is determined by the number of pixels you have, the quality slider in the dialog box export and of a dozen other things, most of which you cannot control.

    Want to watch the number of pixels (width and height) and not the size of the file.

    It is impossible to maintain the size of the original file in order to preserve image quality?

    Not only is impossible, that it is also meaningless (see above)

    This small file size will have a negative impact on the prints?

    Instead look at the size of the file, you must look at the number of pixels of the exported photo (width and height), and this will determine if you get a decent impression. The usual standard is that you need 300 pixels per inch.

  • What influences the size of the Lightroom catalog file?

    Just a general question really...

    I often read in various forums of LR users who have tens of thousands of images in their catalog, and yet the file catalog itself is relatively low (e.g. ' I 100 000 + images in my catalog, and it is 350 MB). Personally, I have about 11 700 images in my catalog at the moment, and the catalog file is approaching the size of 8 GB (currently at about 7.69 GB) approach. To be clear, I speak more precisely here lrcat file, found not all associated State. I have resonable several copies virtual (100 for example) and added a bit of metadata (hundreds, if not thousands of keywords, GPS, legends, star ratings, flags, and so on). I also make some local adjustments for many - although certainly not close all - my photos in the develop module and have some stories quite big edition accordingly. I also have a small number of editing running services and several collections, including a number of smart collections.

    This isn't a problem for me, and I have plenty of space for the lrcat file to grow so I certainly not lose sleep. I'm just puzzled why my catalog file is (perhaps) larger than it should be.

    Note: Mollysnoot has sent me his catalog, and I deep-6 a history table to develop to see what difference it has made to the size of the catalog file.

    My number a suspect must be history I think.

    You think of right. about 90% of the volume of the catalogue is the history list.

  • Lightroom reinstalled on the new hard drive. Now the unsaved preferences.

    After a disaster with Win 10, I returned to Win 7 on a new SSD C: drive. I installed CC Lightroom to the new drive. The old preferences file and catalogue remain on the old drive D:. Now I can open my catalog main within the program, but my other catalogs (drive D :) will open if I go into the folder with the catalog and open them from there.) After opening a catalog, photo changes are saved, but none of my preferences are saved. I have to go to the C: drive? Can anyone suggest how to save my preferences? Thank you

    Hi Amora,.

    You can keep catalogs and images on any drive, but yes, it is suggested to install the program on the C:\ drive.

    Suggest make you in Lightroom preferences > Presets > click 'File see the Lightroom Presets' > quit Lightroom > make sure that folder Lightroom has full read and write permissions.

    Then relaunch Lightroom and check if preferences are being recorded.

    I suggest the first backup of your catalog so that preferences are corrupt need the saved settings.

    Also save your Presets in Lightroom

    Then move the preferences file"Lightroom5Prefernces.agprefs located in appdata/roaming/adobe/lightroom/preferences on the desktop and restart Lightroom.

  • My creative cloud LightroomCC my Presets in my pictures files and I want to change the C:\Users\Frann-Serenity\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop file.  I think it takes to develop, but not sure. I don't know how the Lightroom folded

    I think that the presets should be installed in the C:\Users\Frann-Serenity\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom and perhaps even deeper in the folder to develop. I'm not sure because I'm a newbie at this. I have no idea how my Lightroom file put in my C:\Users\Frann-Serenity\Pictures.  I have to install Presets but cannot get to work because they land in my pictures folder.  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Hi FrancieLou,

    The presets are stored in images when you have an option enabled in Lightroom preferences.

    So, if you do not want them to be stored in the pictures folder, you must follow the steps below:

    1. go in the Lightroom preferences > Presets tab

    2 uncheck "save stations with this catalog" and click Ok.

    Then, the presets would be stored in default C:\Users\UserName\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\.
