Lightroom 6 help

It is not just Lightroom 6 Help that fails.
It is also lightroom 6 Library Help that also fails.
As well when the work around "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Lightroom Help" is used,
though it works the pointer to the Photoshop/Lightroom cc/lightroom 6 also fails: it starts then fails with:
"expected a dict object"
Lightroom 6 itself runs fine uses the GPU and so on.
Is there a timescale to fix all this and will it require a patch to lightroom or are the links etc; going to fix it?
I have been able to download "lightroom_reference6.pdf" while I was running around in circIes; I just cannot remember how this morning.

Hi
Yes, that error appears if you click on the link on the left hand side under Help PDFs
but if you right click and "save target as", you can download the PDF
No errors

I am getting this error message as well. I have just downloaded Lightroom recently. I try to click on Lightroom / preferences....and nothing happens. I tried to uninstall and it is greyed out so I can't do that either. Suggestions? Please help?

I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac. I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac. I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

Why is the "Lightroom Help"(F1) and the "Map Module" Offline?

I ask because everything requiring Internet connection thru Lightroom appears fine, such as the Web Module! There is nothing wrong with my Home Network nor any usage of the Internet, except when it comes to the Map Module and contacting "Lightroom Help"(F1) from the HELP Menu within Lightroom! I have been using Lightroom for a couple of years without encountering this issue and am baffled as to how to address solving it. Any input would be appreciated!

This is a well-known issue with Lightroom. Lots of adjustment brush usage on a particular photo will cause high CPU usage.
If you need to do a lot of brushing, you may be better off doing these tasks in Photoshop.
By the way, I have no idea what SSBOD means, I have never seen that acronym before.

Lightroom Help Causes App to Lock-Up

I am a new user of Lightroom and have loaded it on a Windows 7 64bit Home Edition laptop. Whenever I click on "Lightroom Help" or "Lightroom Module Help" in the Help menu, the application locks up. I get the same results with version 3.3 (which I downloaded) and version 3.2 (which is what was in the package I bought). The application loads Lightroom 64bit by default, but I also loaded the 32bit version to see if it would work there as well. No combination I try seems to make a difference. Being that I am a brand new user of Lightroom, not having help available is a big deal to me - and I am not always connected to the internet whenever I am using the app so online help isn't a suitable substitute either. Additionally, I am concerned that there is something else lurking in the background that is going to cause the app to lock-up that I just haven't discovered yet.
In the System Event Log, I only see this message accompanied by a 1002 Event code:
The program lightroom.exe version 3.3.0.10 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: 2624

Any ideas on what to do to correct this?

Cannot find Lightroom help

When I try to access Lightroom help from the help menu I get a windows message that "windows cannot find.............adobe lightroom\resources\fr\help\help.html".
I guess the problem is that I use an English version (the ....en\help\help.html is actually present) on a PC in France.
How and where can I correct the path to the English help menu?
Thanks in advance for help on this.
Niels

ok, I think I solved the problem. I changed the en folder name to fr and it seems to work.

When I press Lightroom Help...won't open....help!!!

I am trying to use the Lightroom Help with my Lightroom CC, windows edition. I get an error message reading "Cannot Display Help" - please advise on a fix.

Hi Jeffrey. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. We are aware of this issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, you can access the Lightroom Help here: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Lightroom Help

Help In Lightroom Help

Not sure why this is happening or how to fix. If I click on Help in Lightroom and then Lightroom Help to bring up topics, it trys to open PageMill and can't.. Why would it do this, and how do I get around this problem?
Thanks.

What platform? Help useually opens in a browser. You may have to locate the Help files and make sure they are directed to your browser of chice, instead of PageMill.

Is there a way to contact Lightroom help by phone? I have a complicated issue with missing files.

When I downloaded my photos into Lightroom today I used today's date on the folder, but got the year wrong, 2013. After I completed editing my entire photo session, and tried to export some of the images, I realized I had the date wrong on the folder. I used my Mac's "Finder" to locate the file and change the name to 2014, with the rest of the folder name. I see now that this was a mistake and I should have probably changed the file name IN lightroom instead. Now I cannot export because I am getting the message about the files being offline or missing. I have tried to correct this by changing the folder name back to the original incorrect name (year), but this did not solve it. I clicked on the question marks and tried to "find" the folder, but that did not work either. It would be nice to be able to save my work in editing, rather than to have to start over again. In addition, Lightroom now shows several extra folders with the same folder names have been created that I didn't plan or create, purposely at least : ) Now I am really confused as to how to fix this...

You should be able to use
"Find Missing Folder" ok......
How about putting a screen shot of your Library and matching HD like these:
and:
Then we can help you out... don't panic and don't reimport the files. Everything just needs relinking somehow.

How can I get Lightroom help to work in 5.6? I get error that it is unavailable and that I should check my internet connection.

F1 gives me the following error.
"Online help for Lightroom is not available. Please check your internet connection and try again. Help files can also be installed locally using the Adobe Community Help Tool."
How can I remedy this?

This is not a bug, it is intended behavior.
In search fields you might want to search for parts of the name, using a wildcard, that's why the auto-complete is not working there.
If an end user wants to search the complete name, he can use the LOV to pick a value.

Expanding stacks loses files from Lightroom - help!

I've just discovered the delights of stacking, and have stacked brackets in several folders. The first time I expanded these (via Photo > Stacking > expand all stacks), in order to rename all the files in the folder, it worked fine. However since then, when I expand a stack (either via the contextual menu or the keyboard shortcut) the stacked files disappear and only the top image exists, according to Lightroom. I have to reimport the stacked files at their current location for them to be accessible in Lightroom. This has happened in two separate sessions, yesterday and today (i.e. quitting and relaunching, and restarting the computer don't help). What on earth am I doing wrong? I'd really like to use this feature, but this gremlin makes it unusable.
I'm using version 1.2 on an Apple Mac with OS 10.4.9 (my files are unedited NEF files).

Turn your filters off. It is likely some of the images in your stacks have different ratings to the top one.

Merging folders in Lightroom - Help please

I'm a wedding photographer who just switched to MAC. I have three separate folders (one is mine and 2 that I got from dropbox from my second shooter) I had incorrectly imported them into lightroom as three separate folders. I put them all into the same folder in my finder (4,000 images omg) and now I'm trying to re import them into LR so they will be in one catalogue that I can edit from. It's saying they are already imported and only imported 800 images into my new folder...can anyone help I'm pulling my hair out over here and lost all the edits I did from my first import. Feeling frustrated...Kelly

Ah yes, playing hide and seek with Lightroom by moving files in the Finder. A common problem but not a major issue for you.
Lightroom has a record of the images in the catalog it just doesnt know where they are since you moved them.
You should see an ! on each of the thumbnails that are technically "missing". Click on it and you will be asked to locate the file. Follow the steps to find the file in the Finder.
Be sure that the Find Nearby Missing Photos button is checked.
Lightroom will find all the missing images.
No need to re import.

Lightroom help files

When I click help in Lightroom 4.3, a box opens and I can choose help for elements, but not Lightroom. Hlw dod I get help fo LR to appear so I can use it offline?

Getting the correct Help function to work from within Lightroom has been problematic for some. In order for it to function correctly I believe it requires that the Adobe Community Help app is installed and up-to-date, and that in turn requires Adobe Air to be installed. Once you have all three components working (obviously LR is a given) then it SHOULD work.

Photoshop images showing as sepia in lightroom help me please

hi i'm working on black and white medium format images i've cropped and added text in photoshop cc but when i import to lightroom they have a sepia tone can anyone help with this thank you

You have not provided any system info or other details like what image files, so no, nobody can really help you. The blanket answer would be that you are not using color management, but that's pretty much all. Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide the required details.

Lightroom help: i bought the plan and paid by the year but i cant seem to download it.

i bought the plan and paid by the year but i cant seem to download it. nothing happens. it says its download on the adobe page but its been days and nothing is coming up. can anyone help me?

You need to try to download the Adobe Creative Cloud app first. It will install the correct version of Lightroom. Is that what you are trying to do?

Lightroom help offers help for non-Lightroom products

HI,
When I open Lightromm and either hit F1 or use the menu to access help. A box opens titled Adobe Community Help. I type in a help topic, oh say "Curves", and get a bunch of results on the left. I click on the first one and I get suggestions for Photoshop 6. If I try and limit search to a single product it offers only Lightroom 3. How can I limit Lightroom 4 help to only Lightroom 4? I don't want suggestions for Photoshop or other Adobe products I don't even have those other products installed.
thanks

This is what I see in Lightroom 4 help - which might be similar to what the OP is getting?
I can view the LR4 help pages, and follow links within there - but I can not use the side search function in the way (presumably) intended. This computer has LR 3.5 and Photoshop CS5 installed as well as LR 4.1
