Lightroom 4.3 to Lightroom 5 fails
I recently upgraded and found to my dismay that only the photos in Lightroom 4.3 were passed into Lightroom 5. Everything else failed to come in, keywords, presets, identity plate, etc. Did I do something wrong when I upgraded?? Thanks, Jennings
Did you upgrade your LR 4 catalog or just re-import your photos?

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert? What's the best way to migrate? (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)
Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?
When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

I am a current Lightroom 5.7 user - I have purchased and installed Lightroom 6, but have not launched the program yet - will LR 6 make changes to my LR 5 catalog, such that it cannot be used in LR5?
Also, can LR6 and LR CC 2015 share the same catalog?Lightroom 6 will require an updated database are catalog format. When you first start Lightroom 6 after you have installed it, it will prompt you to upgrade your catalog. This will create a new copy of your catalog in the new format, leaving your Lightroom 5 catalog intact and usable if you still have Lightroom 5 installed. Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC can use the same catalog. But they cannot share the same catalog because that catalog must be installed locally on both computers. The Lightroom catalog cannot be placed on a network drive.

Hello, good morning! I have the creative cloud photography (photoshop + lightroom) anda suddenly my Lightroom is giving error asking serial. Where I find my serial? Help me!!!
Hi Morana,
Adobe Creative cloud applications do not have any serial numbers. They are activated through your adobe id.
Please refer to the help document to fix this issue:
Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number

Building smart previews much slower in Lightroom 6 than in Lightroom 5
Building smart previews is much slower in Lightroom 6 than in Lightroom 5.
Creating a smart preview from a DNG (Fuji X-E1 raw file) takes about 12 seconds.
Enabling/disabling GPU accelaration does not really make a difference.
When monitoring the Lightroom process with Process Explorer the GPU usage is always 0.
Below is my system specification.
Anyone got some idea why this might be?

I have lightroom 5.7 installed, and have just downloaded / installed Lightroom CC, but although lightroom 5 runs ok, Lightroom CC will not run, any ideas please.
What seems to be working for many users (myself included) is to sign out of CC and then sign back in. After signing back in, LR will run.

Opening a Lightroom 3 Catalog in Lightroom 5
I'm trying to open a Lightroom 3 catalog in Lightroom 5. I'm getting an error that says the catalog is not writable and cannot be opened. Can Lightroom 5 open a Lightroom 3 catalog?
Lr 5 can create a copy to upgrade from or upgrade directly an Lr 3 catalog. What I think you are seeing is the result of some permissions issue with the Lr3 catalog file or the folder containing it.

I want to buy Lightroom 5, but is Lightroom 6 going to come out soon?

Unless you are really strapped for cash, I recommend buying Lr5 now, and Lr6 when it comes out, and don't think twice if you just missed a cutoff..
That way, you are running the best version of Lightroom now, and will be again in the future, and your money is helping to support the software you use.
The moral of the story: don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish by trying to give a minimal amount to the company which feeds you.. - send the message: "I want the best version of Lightroom you can produce, and I'm willing to pay for it - thank you..".
That said, Lr6 is likely to come out fairly soon, presumably no more than a few months..
PS - There is "always" something enticing for everybody in a new version, despite the features you couldn't care less about.. Lr6 will probably have face recognition (which you may or may not care about), but there will no doubt be some improvements to the develop module too etc..

Check the system requirements. LR has different ones from PS and being able to install PS doesn't automaticalyl mean LR will work, too.
