@Daphne please post your question about your screens here.

No, don't delete raw files.

Great! Then you're all set. Go ahead and uninstall LR.

Great! And you've checked that you can open all the raw files directly into Camera Raw, and all the Tiff files directly into Photoshop?

Gosh, I didn't even think of that! Maybe that would work. I just fiddled around with the colours until it looked right.

A gradient, I guess? https://max.mailbigfile.com/8169b47d8faebf953c654d1820629151/listFiles.php

Do you know where all your files are on your computer?

Hang on, do you mean .dng?

Yes. https://photographyconcentrate.com/lightroom-tip-turn-automatically-write-changes-xmp/

The same raw processing workflow, yes, but generally you'd allow some more black clipping than usual.

Nothing from me either, sorry.

Maybe this? https://max.mailbigfile.com/fbdffc2744dd4351b8d0294df4156c20/listFiles.php

Yep, that should be fine.

Once you've finished the L&M Class, dive into Levels.

No How are you saving it? With "Save As" or "Save for web" or "Export" ... ?

Oh, don't worry, the focus is fine. I'm just trying to figure out why there's so much jpeg damage.

Are you SURE? It's still really degraded.

What quality level did you choose that time?

Your 100% crop seems really compressed. Could you post it again, saved at a higher quality?

No, change the preset for each grid square.

The same as I gave you before, but with the Hue slider on the Master channel further to the right?

Okay, go ahead and contact Adobe for help about this.

Oh. Yes, I'd say so.

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.

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