How can I clean old versions of LR without affecting my LR6 installation?

I have dozens of issues pertaining to the LR5.6 and 5.7 I want to delete.  What is the best way to remove ALL files and registry entries associated with these versions without hurting my LR6 installation?  Thank you!

If you have older versions of the program installed you can simply uninstall them using the standard uninstall process used by your operating system. 6 Lightroom creates new versions of your catalogs. If you know how to identify those that you use now, all the old catalogs can be deleted. When Lightroom 6 is installed, it creates a new copy of your previous catalog. The installation of 6 Lightroom is completely independent and does not rely on files program since previous versions. Lightroom 6 will continue to use the folder of excerpts from the previous version, but also any intelligent insights which you have generated. So all you need to do is to uninstall older versions of Lightroom and then remove older versions of the files catalog you used. It might be a good idea to keep a backup, probably the most recent, just in case you have a problem of catalog in the future.

    Select all images, ensuring that you are in the develop module. Auto-Sync lights up and then just delete the graduated filter. You will need to activate the graduated filter tool and click on the PIN for the filter you have defined and then press the delete key. Then, you want to disable automatic synchronization. Now, just highlight the image you want to add the graduated filter and do your thing with her.

  • How can I clean old video

    Hello!

    I have some old video tape super 8.

    The quality is very poor on some of them.

    I have captured on the pc, but would like some advice on for example: clarification of the colors, noise etc. removal.

    By the way, I am under PRE9

    See you soon,.

    In fact, this looks like a pretty good video transfer, Colin! Much sharper that I've seen most. You must have had a professional do the transfer rather than simply to film on a screen, as I did.

    More recent versions of Premiere Elements include color Vibrance adjustment that would really bring out the color in this video. I don't remember if the version 9 includes a color Vibrance effect.

    If there is no burst of color, there are other effects that can help. Try using the levels effect and increasing the R, G and B.

  • How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?

    A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7.  I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version.  From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7.  I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade.  I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing.  How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

    Thank you!

    Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.

    You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Photoshop 4 and 7 upgrade, now Windows 10 does not accept PS 4. How can I manage my versions to download?

    The download, it's what you do to get a file from a Web site to your computer... Installation is what you do to have the installation files to put a program on your computer and the link to your operating system... what you do... Download or install?

  • How can I clean my story of the Connector tool?

    I have some links not more used in the history of my link tool. How can I clean this history of better organization?

    Acrobat Pro XI

    Hi Pedro,

    There is no such feature in Acrobat to remove the history of the link.

    However, you can manually remove the link from the registry.

    I recommend you back up your registry before performing this step.

    Open Regedit on your system and locate this key: HKCU > software > Adobe > Adobe Acrobat > DC > WebLinkEditURL > cWebLinkOptions

    Once you open this key, you would probably see the string values that contains the URL that you entered in the past, and you can these values a right-click and choose to delete these values.

    The key is valid for DC Acrobat, if you are using an earlier version of Acrobat, you can replace "DC" with the previous version.

    Kind regards
