Lightroom 5.0 - 5.3 Performance Unusable

OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 64bit Professional
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 24.0 GB
Video Card Nvidia GTX-480
512GB SSD Boot Drive
128 GB SSD for lightroom cache and preview files
4 x 3TB drives for Import, Export, and Video Backup
I have followed all the recomendations for maximizing performance and sometimes the system is better (not good) for a couple of hours.
Most of the time changing between pictures (RAW) in Delveop mode takes so long to render that It isn't practical for me to use Lightroom anymore. This level of performance when you have a 300 pic shoot to process would take a week minimum, which would put any proffesional out of business.
These issues are all over the web and it seems that Adobe just keeps pointing fingers, have users try the solution of the month. Adobe is running out of time.
Adobe must Fix this NOW!!!!!

Works fine for me.
Same processor as you, half the memory, single old and slow 128G SSD used only for LR cache, all other files on single normal hard drive.
First time into develop module takes 5 seconds, thereafter more or less instant.
The only operation which is slow is rendering full size previews (or images in Develop Module), which takes about 3 seconds for 36M pixel D800 raw images. Rendiering 1:1 views is about 5-6 seconds. I wish this were faster, but it's very usable.
I came back from a wedding 2-day shoot with around 1,700 D800 raws. I reviewed them all and got a preview selection of over 100 done the next morning. And 350 finished images in another day.
What really speeds my workflow is being able to sift, sort and compare a large number of images very quickly. I couldn't work at the same speed in Bridge, which is slower to render developed previews, and doesn't have a seemlessly-integrated editor.

Lightroom 3.2 crashes when performing a library text filter on all photographs

I have LR 3.2 running on Windows XP on a Intel Core 2 E8500 with 4 GB ram. I run one catalog that contains a little more than 51,000 photographs (mostly RAW images). Each time I select ALL PHOTOGRAPHS (in my catalog drop-down on the left), go into the Library Filter, choose TEXT, and type in a keyword to do a search to narrow my photographs down, LR spontaneously crashes...all I get is a Microsoft message asking me if I want to send Microsoft a report and when I click "no", LR just closes. Sometimes when I re-open LR and perform the same task immediately, all goes well. But lately it happens again and again even after I restart LR over and over. This is simply unacceptable as I am constantly needing to search through my entire catalog to find photos with certain keywords depending on the project I am working on. Is my catalog too big? I last optimized my catalog on 10/8/2010. This seems like a bug to me.
Sorry if this is a problem already discussed...I ran a search and didn't find any threads about it.

Lightroom 5.0 renders SD card unusable till formating is done in camera

I remove an SD card from the Camera (canon 60d) Load it into my card reader and have it read by lightroom 5.0 and load the pictures into the catalog. I remove the card from lightroom and place it back into the camera. The camera indicates the card is not readable. However formating the card makes it usable. Lightroom 5.0 renders the card unreadable!

I did what you suggested regarding removing the card per procedure and it did not make a differance.
there is a problem!
I tested the problem out with two computers on which I have Lightroom 5.0. I used the card in a Canon 60d and Canon 5d mark III and had the same issue.
What Happens is that once lightroom reads the files it writes onto the SD card device something that makes the card unreadable to the camera and you get an error message "Cannot create folder"
Did not have that problem with Lightroom 4.0. The problem Started after I upgraded to 5.0.
Note that the SD card can be removed from the camera and placed into the computer and it will be OK in the computer, unless I elected to do the format in the camera.
You will probably need a dump of the FAT table to see what switch was turned such that the card becomes unreadble by the camera.

Lightroom CC Copy as DNG now unusable

Adobe has changed the way Copy as DNG works. It now copies the files as your native raw format and then converts them to DNG in background.
It seems to run 2 processes in parallel at the same time, one to create a search index and the other to do the DNG conversion. It is currently taking 23 seconds to convert each NEF file to a DNG On my system.
DIsappointed!

It's not at all unusual for DNGs to be smaller file sizes if you did the DNG conversion using lossless compression, did you? Fuji raw files are known for being oversized due to the way they write their image data. Also, totally ignore any findings you may regarding JPEGs, those are lossy compressed and don't figure into the equation...

Please help - performance issues with Lr 2.3

I really hope some user/s or Adobe support members could help me with tweaks/suggestions to improve Lightroom 2.3's sluggish performance on my computer.
First of all I have read about 100 different forum topics this morning, have used the forum search extensively and I cannot find any one topic which talks about different methods for improving performance. So I really have tried to find the answer before asking for help and I have done a lot of googling to try and find some simple answers but after all this reading I am more confused than when I started out.
Let me first explain what I am experiencing and I will try and be as detailed as possible.
1 - When I browse the library it is incredibly slow rendering the thumbnail previews. I found a topic which talked about degfragging the LR catalog using sqlite and contig, I did that and it made no difference to performance.
2 - I left my machine running an entire day to render the 1:1 previews thinking this would help me with the slow thumbnail issues but it made no difference. It is however faster now when I double click and image and get the immediate 1:1 preview :)
3 - I have turned off the Automatically write changes into XMP, suggested on another topic, that made no noticeable differences to performance either.
4 - A few months ago when I was still running 2.1 I found a topic either here or on Google that told me to delete the entire previews folders and let LR recreate them from scratch, I did that back then and that did not make any difference either, turned out to be 24 hours of waste time for me.
5 - I tried changing the following settings under catalog settings (has not improved anything):
size: 2048 Pixels
quality: High
automatically discard 1:1 previews: Never
6 - The only slow performance I am experiencing in LR is the thumbnails and this slows down my workflow dramatically. Everything else in LR seems to be quite fluid and usable and fast. I notice many users have complained about the slow thumbnails issues and I was praying that 2.3 was going to sort this out.
7 - I have also noticed that when scrolling up and down the thumnail list it sometimes uses more than 1 processing core and then sometimes not and then when I stop scrolling up and down the thumbnails and leave it alone for 5 seconds suddenly all 8 processing cores spike to around 50% usage with processing "something".
8 - I have tried making my thumbnail previews different sizes, also makes no difference really, unless I go to the smallest size and then it seems ok but then it's hard to see what's going on at all with thumbnails that small.
9 - Lightroom is only using up 1.1 GB of available memory so I do no think the slowness relates to memory and I am running my memory in a proper DDR3 configuration.
10 - I have tried playing with my graphics card settings (below) but it does not seem to help no matter what I try.
11 - Overall it "seems" that Lightroom is trying to re-render thumbnails continously, I know technically this may not be true but as an end user this is how it feels to me.
My computer specifications are as follows:
Intel i7 965 Extreme Edition (not overclocked)
Intel DX58 Smackover Motherboard
6GB DDR3 Ram (not overclocked)
GEForce 9800GT Video Card (with WHQL driver)
SATA 2 1TB Seagate Drives
Windows Vista X64 (SP1)
Lightroom 2.3 X64
NEC 30" Display running at 2560x1600 resolution
The way I have LR configured on my PC is as follows:
- Program files installed on main C drive which is a 250GB partition on a 1TB Seagate Sata 2 drive with 190 GB Free space all the time.
- Lightroom catalog is on my E drive which is a 1TB Seagate Sata 2 drive
- Camera Raw Cache is set at 10GB and resides on the same E drive as the LR catalog
- My E drive has 100GB Free Space
- I have tried tweaks to the video card settings to be Lightroom spe

Hi Don
Thanks for the reply, I have tried changing any/all settings on the card set to performance versus quality and still it has no effect. I just got the latest video driver for the GT9800 which was released on the 3rd of March and that has no effect either. I tried loading the 32 bit version of Lightroom without any improvement to speed on the thumbnails whatsoever so that rules out the possibility of it being something to do with 64-bit.
I read an Adobe knowledgebase article saying that the Nvidia control panel conflicts with certain Adobe software but they do not say how to turn it off and I also cannot even find the answer to that on Nvidia's forums either. So I still cannot say whether or not the Nvidia control panel is the problem because I cannot disable it.
I phoned a friend this morning who is running Lightroom 2.3 on a simple Core-2 Duo machine and his thumbnails render in half the time that mine do and my hardware is top of the range stuff in comparison so you can imagine my frustration with this thumbnailing issue. My friend also has an Nvidia card 8800GT I think.
I have spent so much time on this and I am no further to a solution and this blurry thumbnail issue is seriously messing with my eyes and it does not make for a very pleasant user experience.
What concerns me is that while Lightroom is idle and the machine is idle Lightroom is not doing anything in the background like rendering thumbnails. It only starts rendering them once I scroll down a page, no doubt by design but for more powerful machines there is a lot of processing ability going unused. The thumbnails on the filmstrip render a lot faster compared to grid view but their rendering state is also not retained and once I have scrolled past 100 images and then scroll back they are all blurry again and I have to wait for them re-render all over again. All this re-rendering of thumbs is a really big waste of time.
I also noticed something else interesting this morning, I opened task manager and left it open while I was scrolling thumbnails (continuous scrolling without waiting for them to render sharp) and only one core was being used to do this processing, I tested this multiple times and left it open while I scrolled through 5000+ images and only one core the whole time was being used. Only once I stopped scrolling and Lightroom began it's rendering of the thumbnails (about 10-15 seconds after stopping scrolling) did it only then start using multiple processors, I'm not sure if that has something to do with anything and memory wise I have 4.2 GB of available memory and Lightroom is only using about 425 Mb of memory.
I have changed the size of my thumbnails to below halfway on the slider and that made only a slight difference, although now they are so small on this 30" screen that I am now suffering even more eye strain as a result.
I am busy loading LR 1.x to confirm whether any of these behaviours existed back then and will report back.

Why is Lightroom 2.4 Thumbnail Rendering SLOOOOOOOOW...?

For some reason Lightroom 2.4 is taking an enormous amount of time to render thumbnail previews and in spite of having my thumbnail cache set to 50 GB, it still re-renders the thumbnails every single time I use the scroll bar.
Every other aspect of Lightroom performs just fine on my machine. But the library is so slow that it is unusable. Every time I touch the scroll bar I can see a somewhat darker preview of the thumbnails and then as soon as I stop scrolling, the CPU shoots up to 100% utilization and I watch as the thumbnails brighten and adjust one by one. 30 to 45 seconds later I can click on the thumbnails and navigate around just fine. Performance is great in fact until I touch the scroll bar again.
The basic question is this. Why does Lightroom refuse to cache my thumbnails? And why does it take soooo long to render them when Vista's explorer can render hundreds of thumbnails off even a flash card in seconds? Even if thumbnail rendering was slow it would be fine if Lightroom would only cache them for me so it doesn't have to redo it every time I scroll back and forth. Shouldn't there be an option to render thumbnails on import as well as 1:1 previews?
I am running Vista 64 bit with 4GB of RAM with a Gforce 7600GT graphics card. My library has about 18,000 images in it. But I've also tried with a brand new small catalog. I'm shooting and processing Nikon D300 RAW files.
I've done all the standard performance tweaks that everyone talks about:
1. I render 1:1 previews and never expire them.
2. I have tried all the various nvidia card tweaks.
3. I've updated to the latest and greatest nvidia drivers.
4. I have my catalog on a separate drive from my images, and my thumbnail cache on yet a 3rd drive.
5. My machine has plenty of RAM, and in fact Lightroom is only using 1.5GB leaving me with well over 1GB remaining.
6. My machine is not swapping at all.
I've been reading and reading for the past 24 hours about this issue but have yet to come up with an answer to it. I did find this old thread from over a year ago that describes the EXACT same problem I am experiencing except his problem was with version 2.3: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1395391#1395391
Does anyone have ANY idea what can be causing this? As is, I can't use Lightroom under these conditions.
Thanks!

So I spent all evening experimenting with different things in Lightroom to try and improve performance and found 1 solution that worked. Although I'm not sure why.
I understand that a design decision was made to render thumbs on the fly. Fine. But what I couldn't understand was why it took so incredibly long. I mean the process was literally locking up my entire machine every time I touched the scroll bar.
The ONLY thing I could get to clear up the problem was to select the top level folder in my catalog, and export the entire catalog as a new catalog. For export I did NOT choose to export the image files or the previews since I only wanted to keep my database (image adjustments, keywords, etc).
Upon opening this newly created catalog, of course everything was slow because there are no previews for anything. Fine. So I chose to render standard sized previews for a couple of the folders in the catalog (about 150 photos each). And then lightroom became extremely fast for browsing and scrolling through thumbnails on those particular folders.
What I can't undertand is why rendering standard sized previews on my old catalog (same photos, same folder) does not improve performance, yet doing it for the new catalog which should be an exact copy DOES improve performance.
The only thing I can think of is that my original catalog must have either been corrupt or there may be some upper limit on how many previews Lightroom can handle gracefully? Since I had standard previews for my entire catalog before.
I'm going to try and render standard sized previews on my entire new catalog tonight and see if the performance remains snappy. But something is definitely not right here.

Lightroom 4 becomes slow again with 4.2

Photography is my hobby and not my job. So I don't want to spend a lot of money to treat my raw files: I prefer to spend my money in camera and and lenses.
I've got an old computer like this one and I don't want to change it immediately.

This computer is 4 years old but in accordance with lightroom's specification.
I used it with Lightroom 3. Sometimes it was slow but it wasn't a problem.
I tested lightroom 4.0. It was unusable with it.
With lightroom 4.1, there was no problem. So I decided to buy it.
With Lightroom 4.2, problems come again. I remove the old preferences files, optimize my computer (my computer is dedicated to lightroom, no other software runs during photo treatment).
It's always the same. Lightroom runs at a good speed and slow ten minutes after opening (and freeze sometimes).
Please Adobe do your job!!! You take our money and nothing progress. We can't wait like that. If we need to find a solution and optimize our computer by ourself, the best solution is to switch to an other software.
That's the first time that I write something in a forum like that. I decided to do that because I'm very angry to spend so much time to treat my raw files. I prefer to spend my time (and money) with my camera...

Just another opinion.......
I have been using Lightroom (all versions) for many years now. I am currently on lr 4.2 along with Photoshop CS6 standard.
I use a Windows Ultimate 64 bit dual xeon 2.6 processor using 12GB RAM And a 1GB ASUSGTX550 Ti graphics card. RAID disks and separate disk as a scratch disk.
I work primarily with Canon EOS 5d MKII raw files. 21MB each. I make colour corrections in LR then use photoshop for more creative enhancements.
For the most part my experience with Adobe software is a positive one. For me moving from LR 3 to 4 I noticed a performance drop in the software. However I rationalised this against the software could do more. I cam sympathise with some of the other posters as areas of decreased performance for me are:
Slower 1:1 Renders
Slower export of JPGs. (Although I've noticed the more enhancements I make in Develop mode, the slower the export time)
latency when making adjustments
As a submitter of stock libraries, the performance decrease is an incovenience but not a show stopper and doesnt impact my workflow to heavily.
Interestingly Ive noticed the performance of CS6 increased for me when I upgraded. Ive watched a lot of Adobe/Linda tutorials on setting up Photoshop and they all mention the Mercury graphics engine in CS6. Now I'm not sure on the technology of Lightroom, but would it perhaps benefit from the same technology?
The biggest bug bear for me is the latency on making adjustments. For example if I open a picture in Develop. Then adjust Exposure. The slider acknowledges the new value but the preview needs time to catch up.Again it's not the end of the world for me. But if ayone know of tweaks or enhancements I could make to LR to improve this area, that would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to close by saying. I believe LR is a great product and along with Photoshop they compliment each other very well. IF LR performance could take the same step as Photoshop I believe LR would become a fanstatic product not just a great one.
Thanks for reading.

LIghtroom 5.7 Freeze and not answering MAC OS/X 10.9.5

Hi
After installing lightroom 5.7 I get some performances issues. Lightroom is using a lot of memory," free memory available" is decreasing even I am doing nothing.
In all modules, when I want to go from on image to an other, there are freeze every 5 or 6 images. 1/1 preview are build and never deleted.
My system is a Macbook pro 8 giga RAM, 500Giga fast disk running MAC OS/X 10.9.5, only one application is running Lightroom 5.7
my library is a small one 21,000 images in RAW format
You can see the message in red sorry it is in French "Lightroom (ne réponds pas) " Lightroom not answering. During the time you can see the message, Lightroom is frozen, then all previous click and actions are made in a short time.
Each time I am going from one image to an other in all modules , the free memory available is going down and never be cleaned by Lightroom (Memory leak?)
After 15 minutes, to take a slow look of about 500 images, Lightrrom is using 2,0 Gig memory and free memory available is reaching less than 60Meg, yes about 0 Giga
If I continue trying to do my job, lightroom can stay in the frozen state during 2 minutes.Then I can do myself a memory clem to get 2.88 GB of free memory, then Lightrrom is returning to 1 Giga real memory usage and return to some normal speed
condition
Hop this can help developers.

Here is a view to my Apple system, don't say this system is too old please. I will return to Lightroom 5.4 where the performance were good enough for my job.

Why is Lightroom 6/CC catalog not registered under classes?

The LR6 catalog file, .lrcat, no longer shows Lightroom's icon, does not appear under HK_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry, nor on the Windows file association list. Having said that, LR6/CC loads the catalog normally and can be started by double-clicking the .lrcat file. So, the question is probably purely academic as functionality does not seem to be impaired.
(In my case, LR CC has been installed on two machines, replacing LR5.7: desktop running Win7 and laptop running Win8.1. LR6's (upgraded) .lrcat does not show as the default LR file on either machine. Lightroom 5's catalog did.)

Stuck pixels not auto removed Lightroom 3

Lightroom 2 automatically removed any dead pixels on import but my Lightroom 3 is no longer performing this function. What's going on here? Is there some way to turn this function back on?

Huh. This has /never/ happened for me. And I have a busted up old camera I use for IR stuff that has stuck pixels like crazy.
Oh, I get it, I think. It is probably ACR that does this, but for raw images only. But the busted up camera I'm talking about is only good for making JPEGs. I bet that is my misunderstanding.
So, as for the OP, it might be worthwhile seeing if they use any other ACR apps, and see if perhaps the pixel mapping done there has been tweaked by some other app.

Lightroom 6 update issue

I have Lightroom 5 on my iMac and have just purchased the update to LR6.
The email that confirms my purchase informs me that I've purchased Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (Mac/Win,English) and gives me a serial number.
However, when I follow the download link I'm offered three versions of Lightroom, Mac/Win English, Windows Multiple Languages and Mac Multiple Languages.
The Mac/Win English download has my serial number against it the the next column states that the download is "not applicable".
The other two show no serial number and offer a download link. In desperation I tried the Mac Multiple Languages link and this downloaded, but it will not install, stating that I don't have an applicable product on my Mac to upgrade from.
I'm stuck.
How do I download and install the product that Adobe tell me I've purchased?

I finally found the solution to the problem I was having. I don't know if this will help anyone, but I'll put it out there anyway. As I said in my previous comment, in previous upgrades I was having problems with Lightroom not launching if I performed the upgrade from within the CC App Manager and Adobe had provided an alternate link to download the upgraded version separatly. The result was (because I didn't clean up after these upgrades) was that I had multiple versions of Lightroom on my system (Windows 7): Ver 5.4 and 5.7. In the start menu, these displayed as separate lanuch icons including the version in the txt.
Yesterday, when I decided to take the chance and upgraded Lightroom from within the CC App Manager, it performed the upgrade, said it was up to date, but I did not notice that it created another version of Lightroom WITHOUT any of the version numbers in the title. This version was buried down in the "All Programs" folder of the Windows 7 start menu.
TODAY, still a little frustrated, I opened the CC App Manager, It still said up to date. I launched Lightroom (from the old 5.7 icon, or rather a shortcut to one of my existing lcats which was tied to this old version) I went to the "Check for Updates" and it said new software was available and showed the new features available in ver 6. I'm not sure why it didn't show this info yesterday but there it was. I clicked the Download button which took me to the lightroom page on Adobe. There was a download button near the top right. It was there yesterday, but all it did was download a CC App Manager install file. So, I went ahead and did the install again, but it just went directly to opening the App Manager. I signed out of the App Manager, and signed back in....still no apparent change.
THEN, AND HERE'S HOW I FOUND OUT THE UPGRADE HAD ACTUALLY BEEN INSTALLED: I ACCIDENTALLY clicked on the Lightroom Icon itself in the CC App Manager. To my surprise, it launched the window showing a list of my catalogs asking me which one I wanted to open. I didn't even realize I had clicked the icon. I chose one of my older, less valued catalogs to be opened...viola! It said I needed to upgrade the catalog. Wow! I cancelled out because I didn't want to upgrade without understanding what was going on. I tried to launch that catalog as I would usually do and it opened right away in version 5.7.....what the hell?!?! Then I had the thought that maybe I had accidentally clicked that icon, so I manually made a backup copy of that catalog and it's previews folder in Explorer. I clicked directly on the Lightroom icon in the CC App Manager. It opened the "choose catalog" window again. I choose the catalog, upgraded it and it opened the upgraded catalog IN VERSION 6. Wow!!
So, being Windows, not Mac, I had to associate the lrcat file type with the NEW Lightroom.exe file, I've upgraded the remaining catalogs and I'm good to go. So, apparently, my previous frustration comment about Adobe maybe fixing the upgrade issue is no longer a valid comment....they have fixed that problem, for my situation at least.
Like I said I don't know if this helps anyone else, but I thought I'd put it out there.

Canon S95 raw performance slow.

I'm very happy that I can use raw files from my Canon S95 in Lightroom 3.3RC but the performance/speed of edits is very slow. As an example, full resolution raw files from my Canon 5D Mark II are about twice as fast to edit. Hopefully with the final version of Lightroom 3.3 the raw "engine" for the S95 will be optimized. Is this typical?

I would have expected the opposite as 5d photos are 21mp and the S95 are 10mp.
Probably best to raise this in the Lightroom forum during the beta testing.

Lightroom email

I can not get the first spet to work:In Windows Explorer or the Finder, create a shortcut or alias to your e-mail application
It looks real easy for Mac, but I can't find or create a short or alias. Any suggestions?
To set up Photoshop Lightroom to e-mail photos, perform these steps:
In Windows Explorer or the Finder, create a shortcut or alias to your e-mail application.
Open Photoshop Lightroom and select the Library module.
Click Export.
Select Go To Export Actions Folder Now from the Post-processing After Export pop-up menu.
Drag the e-mail application shortcut or alias to the Export Actions folder.
Close the Explorer or Finder window.
Click Cancel to close the Export dialog box.
Click Export again.
Choose the appropriate Image Settings to constrain your e-mailed images.For example, you'll probably want to choose 72 pixels per inch as your resolution and constrain the maximum size of the image.
Choose your e-mail alias from the Post-processing After Export pop-up menu.
Choose Save As New Preset from the Preset pop-up menu. Name the preset. Click Create. Click Cancel in the Export dialog box. Your settings will still be saved

I'm sorry. I misread your post and thought you were asking about Mac. On Windows, navigate to your email application (usually in the Program Files folder). Right-click on it to bring up the contextual menu. On that menu select Create Shortcut. Once the shortcut has been created then you can drag and drop it to the folder you need.

Lightroom 5: AppleScript: action "AXShowMenu" in Smart Collection panel does not show context menu

We are developing a simple automatization tool using Lightroom 5 (the newest version of the CC) using AppleScript.
For some actions, we need the context menu in the Smart Collections panel, for example to import Smart Collection descriptions.
According to the documentation and various sources on stackoverflow and elsewhere, AXShowMenu should bring up that menu.
So far, I have not been able to make that context menu pop up.
Using UIElementInspector and UI Browser, I located the element which does have the AXShowMenu action attached. Based on the code provided by UI Browser, I got the following script, which I run from the Applescript Editor:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Lightroom"
set frontmost to true
perform action 1 of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6
delay 2
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell application "AppleScript Editor" to activate
Note that if you try to recreate this, the number of the window as well as the number of the row may be different. Also, the last line is just convenience, and not really relevant for the code.
In the Results window in AppleScript Editor, I have the following:
perform action 1 of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6 of process "Lightroom"
--> action "AXShowMenu" of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6 of application process "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5"
which means that I did invoke the action.
But … nothing happens.
Any insight, workaround etc. is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Just for the records, I did ask the same question on Stackoverflow, and there I got an answer which does work. This solution uses a little Python program to really simulate mouse clicks.

Lightroom 6 mobile trial

I just bought lightroom 6 off amazon pc download. I'm a first time buyer, on top left corner near navigator tab a message reads I HAVE 29 DAYS OF LIGHTROOM MOBILE LEFT. What does that mean, and what happens after 29 days, will i be charged, will lightroom 6 on my pc be unusable? Please help, i hate to sound stupid, but i've never had lightroom before and im a bit confused.

Lightroom Mobile is an application they can be downloaded to your Apple or Android mobile device and enable you to work on your Lightroom images on that mobile device. You have a 29 day trial remaining, meaning that you can use Lightroom Mobile during that time. When that time expires, the only way you will be able to use it is if you decide to subscribe to a creative cloud subscription plan. You will not be charged any fee if you choose not to subscribe. It will simply not be possible for you to use the mobile features anymore.
