iPhoto / OS / Lightroom - incompatibility problem

Hello

I am new to these forums and the LR and am currently stuck in the OS/software hell and desperately seeking advice.

I just bought LR6 as a stand alone (Nothing creative cloud was noted on the packaging) but when I tried installing - creative cloud installed (don't know why) and I got an error message which LR6 cannot be installed because my operating system needs updated. I contacted Adobe sales and said that according to his 'newspaper page' that it is compatible with my operating system. My Mac laptop running OS X 10.8.5 and my iPhoto is 8.1.2.

My conundrum is that I missed an interim update to iPhoto so that when I update to El Capitan iPhoto no longer works and it seems that I can't install LR6 until I upgraded to El Capitan. It must just be a solution to this problem!

I have 30 000 + photos organized in 258 events, faces assigned to important people, Places (after maps/locations stopped working I entered the place name in the Description field under the field of Places on the 'return' of the photo), filenames turned into legends identifying the picture (on the best photos), editing using iPhoto tools (again on the best photos) and some additional info added to the Description in instances of field on the 'return' of the photo. Lots and lots of work!

Number of questions:

1-should I export each event in order to separate the files on my hard drive first (then back up my system) and then move to El Capitan?

2 - I will be able to use the same redemption code to re-download LR6 or it will automatically install once I've upgraded?

3 - once I got active LR6 will be able to access my iPhoto Library (mistresses) directly bypass iPhoto to import/add my photos to the LR catalog?

Or do I have to add/import files created by exporting events? (I prefer the iPhoto library import/add, because if I understand LR import / add both the original and the amended photos as well as the metadata - right?)

4 it is possible to get the LR5? It seems to be compatible with my operating system. Once I created my LR in LR5 catalog so can I update to LR6?

I'd appreciate any help and suggestions.  Thank you very much!

LR 6 and the CC version are exactly the same program, even downloaded and installed same files on your hard drive. The differences come from how you Sign In to LR.

Also you need OS X 10.9.X, Mavericks, for LR 6/CC Mt Lion 10.8.x is to old to run LR CC/6.

  • Lightroom import problems

    Hi guys!

    Been having bad last week, or so, with importing photos into Lightroom. I have a LOT of pictures, about 10.5 thousand, and try to import in Lightroom are problems of variables. The two big questions are this:

    1. I store all my photos into folders to organize them. When downloading, all records imported photos are not just duplicated, but the photos in the files are duplicated twice. Any ideas there?

    2. I name all my files that I save the photos in order to keep track of them. When a file starts uploading in Lightroom, it removes the name of the folder, which is a huge problem.

    Another minor point, sometimes import gets stuck, but I tell myself it's just because of the amount of pictures that I'm importing, restarting fixes everything.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    1. you probably import using the copy option while you should use the option Add

    2. you, the user, have complete control over the name of the records used

  • Import from the News Photos of Apple (not iPhoto) in Lightroom?

    As a complete Lightroom beginner how to import since the News Photos of Apple (not iPhoto) in Lightroom?  You said that there are no stupid questions.  I'm excited to get started with Lightroom.

    It is better to export Photos to OSX on the desktop versions or better still put them in standard Finder folders. Your versions will include any changes already made (not available in masters) and imported into LR duplicates will be completely separated, protect the library of Photos of corruption.

    You may be able to include IPTC metadata when exporting so that all of the keywords etc. imported.

    I have iPhoto installed 9.4.3 on my MacBookPro.

    For the first time since buying the computer is mobile in 2012 iPhoto quit unexpectedly - an error report is generated which I send to Apple.

    In the popular experience, Apple is likely to respond to this error report that is will fixed the problem? Or should I try to study a solution myself?

    It is doubtful that Apple will answer in my humble OPINION, they do not meet the individual reports. Either way, iPhoto has been replaced by Photos for Mac app, which became available when Yosemite 10.10.3 was released. If you are interested in obtaining photos for Mac, then you will need to update to OS X, the latest version is not El Capitan 10.11.1

  • Lightroom CC - problems with the adjustment brush and stain

    Weird question:

    End of 2012 iMac 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 32 GB of RAM

    Mac OSX 10.11.6

    Lightroom CC

    When you attempt to change a series of photos in the develop module I have problems with Lightroom gel. More precisely if I use the spot removal or adjustment brushes after two or three images, I find myself with a progress indicator of spinning at the bottom right of the image and the screen shows part of the image strong and part of the blurred image (as when loading an image is). It seems that no amount of waiting will lead to progress. All I can do is quit Lightroom and restart. But after a few images that the same thing is happening.

    If anyone else has experienced this?

    TIA.

  • Import Sony film Lightroom DC problem

    I am an experienced user of Lightroom CC on MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan. I have no problem to import from my Canon DSLR and various models including G16 G.

    But I have problems with my new Sony RX10 III imports. The LR advanced import dialog box detects and any fixed images on the SDXC card. But he can't find or show one of the movies.

    As a solution, I can import files and search directories on the map. I found the movies under 'Private', as well as the JPG previews and still shots. But I lost my first days of shooting movies (I reformat the card in the device after successful import and backup.)

    Is there a way to tell LR to look in all the directories of the map when importing?

    Thank you Jim for confirmation.

    I did some additional research and can confirm the problem on my end. To reproduce the bug, I set the video format Sony RX10 III to film "XAVC S". In this mode, the Sony camera will the MP4 in the/Private/M4ROOT/CLIP. Unfortunately, Apple Photos nor Lightroom app knows where to look XAVC S videos (in mode "Devices").

    The problem will be fixed in a future update of Lightroom. Thanks for your report.

  • In the tab preview/development of Lightroom color problems

    Hi all

    I shot an event and imported the photos to the newly installed Lightroom (I already use on another PC and Lightroom, it works fine).Capture1.PNG

    According to the "background color" (white, light grey, dark grey etc.) I have chosen, the image in the Center, where I apply all settings, change. And there is always this effect of weird color on it. You see, on the right, the image is displayed in the normal way.

    I use Lightroom CC (2015) on a PC. I use no presets.

    Someone of you has a solution to my problem or has had the same problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Setting the scrapping of the Apple iPhoto and Lightroom Photos without a subscription?

    Hi all -

    I thought the demolition of iPhoto (now is no longer supported by Apple) and openness (again, abandoned by Apple), and the new Photos of Apple does nothing for me.

    On Amazon, you can buy - for example - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (PC/Mac): Amazon.co.uk: software

    Do you need a subscription with that? If you do, I am likely to get out. I'm so confused: S

    Hi Penguin shadow,

    You can either go for autonomous Lightroom 6 (one time purchase) or subscription of photography which includes Lightroom and Photoshop.

    Both would include the ability to import Aperture/iPhoto but not iPhoto.
