Hang on, do you mean .dng?

sorry! typos! Shorter keyboard compared to my windows work computer 🫣

Also wanted to add that in another folder, all of my edits seem to be in .dng as well as in .tiff

Thanks Damian, so I've done that and I'm ready to pull the plug. Can you please 'walk' me through it/with me, in case I f**k it up somewhere along the way. 

Am I getting this right? All of the previously imported images are in .dmg format in LR catalogue and edited are in .tiff Are the .tiff files are the files I need to keep/move out of the LR into another folder to keep? I'd rather not do another cull in Bridge, I overshoot, so once is bad enough lol.

Do I need the dmgs? Only if I wanted to re-edit?

As you might see from the attached image, I have multiple edit, edit-edit, edit-edit-edit-edit-edit 🫣 How do I decide which edit to keep? The one with the most edits after it's name? I think that was from me bouncing back and forth between LR and PS. 

And yes, I know the images are quite dark 😬🫣😬

Your workflow will be SO much better once you stop using Lightroom altogether.

 

Soo at what point do we uninstall it then  😬 And what happens with all of the editing that's been done in there? Any way to 'migrate' it to Bridge? Strongly resisting the urge to open it!

Hi @Damien Symonds, I wasn't sure where to post this question.

Do you have a workflow guide/list (for PS) that we could use until we get into a nice routine? I need to work on that grey aussie pup session asap (meeting the owner next week) and I feel like I'm starting from scratch, so need a bit of guidance. I used to do everything in LR, then just some cloning/objects removals in PS and finish it back in LR again. I am committed to the new way of processing But now I just feel lost without my workflow. Do I do saturation first... brightness or do I remove bits that I don't like? Do you have an article or a class on tools and the best use of them? I have a photo where I said I'll remove the background grassy bit with a path, and now I feel I chewed off more than I can chew.

I'm almost at the end of Layers and Masks class, although it's going in really well, I feel a bit of an information overload. Thanks

Hi, is there a suggested set up for Wacom Tablets written by Damien? Thanks

Then you should be fine to get rid of those folders.

But follow the usual prudent procedure.  Don't delete them straight away.  First, rename them (eg put "OLD_" in front of each folder name) then give it a couple of days of usual editing to make sure nothing has been screwed up.

If everything is working fine after a couple of days, THEN you can delete them.

Excellent, thank you!

@Roxy Clark are those versions still showing as installed in your Creative Cloud app?

I don’t think so! Older versions (I think it was Lightroom) showed up about a month ago and I went and deleted them. 

A little bit irrelevant to this topic Damien, but I wanted to check (whilst I am in this folder) and before I do this. I seem to still have folders for Bridge 2019 and 202, is it safe to delete them?
