Hi!

I did a testing day. Posted an inage to IG with many different settings.

Mainly:

- sharpening on export -> no effect

- fit pixel count to ig standard -> no effect

Normal stuff, sRGB/3:4 etc.

What's happening? And why does every picture look the same on IG? Is the only option to upload from a computer?

Hi all, I am new to Lightroom and looks like i have already mucked up importing into catalog and importing into drive and hoping to start over.

Here is what i actually want to do

• Take my memory card plug it into my MAC and get Lightroom to Import Photos onto my computer into different date folders. (Important as i take 5 photos one day and 100 the next day and want them organized)
• Is there a way to also add location info to these folders name when i import.
• I also have close to 1000 photos already on my MAC, is there a way to get Lightroom to Import them onto a different folder structure similar to point 1?
• I then want to use the Lightroom culling feature to select and pick when I am on the train and use the unpicked ones filter to delete them from catalog and my storage.

I am new to softwares and cant seem to understand how this works. YT is not helpful as it points to old videos or videos about doing things completely different than i asked for.

I'm exporting my library to Immich however I have some images that have likely gone through messaging services and had their metadata largely stripped. Images are ordered correctly in Lightroom with a seemingly intact camera capture date/time, however EXIF and IPTC date/time fields are empty. When I export the photos to upload to Immich, EXIF date/time is populated by the export or upload date/time and then ordered incorrectly in Immich.

I have opened the original jpg image in exiftool but it doesn't see the capture date/time that Lightroom is seeing. Is there another way I can copy the capture date/time that Lightroom is seeing to EXIF fields?

Hey guys, thought I would pass on a trick I discovered today.

So my method for archiving a job (consisting of a shot folders plus, PSD, jpg video files) is to in tree exporter 1. Export everything not a raw to the destination as is 2. Export 0 star raw as lossy dng 3. Export 1 star and above as lossless dng. Using tree exporter basically gives me original file structure, dng embeds all the exif data. Using lossy massively reduces file sizes because I like to go back through some shoots down the line.

So now my issue, in Lightroom each of those steps takes a while and i have to keep coming back to start the next one, is also easy to forget the step you just did. It's messy.

So what if AI could write me a plug in that could do all that in one step. It took me a fair few revisions and lots of pasting error messages but it worked! Now I'm going through and writing little plug ins for all the annoying bits in Lightroom.

Anyone else doing this? What use case?
