I found my PC hanging and LR not responding way too frequent. Wonder if this is an operator error problem?
I P4 3.2 with 2 GB of RAM. HDD space is plenty. I did import about 40K images into LR though.

After usng it for 3 days, countless reinstall. Countless tweaking and fixes according to suggestion from all sources. I pronounce Adobe Light Room the BIGGEST SPIEC OF CRAP (and I am being nice otherwise ...) to LR already. If I am allowed to say absolutely whatever I want ...
I am sure it's a very powerful database, I am sure it has wonderful actions to help photographers, and I am sure it might work one day, but I am not an engineer, not a database admin, nor am I an IT professional, I am merely a photographer. I merely hope LR will help me in post processing my pictures.
Well, I cannot even open Adobe Photoshop via LR. The god damn Edit in Photoshop option was blanked out!
I cannot just jump from files to file, folders to folders, the god damn program is Not Responding!
There seemed to be much more things I cannot do than I can! Yippedi do da Adobe! This is surely a piece of CRAP!

Seems like the problem is probably deep inside your computer. The software is merely showing that there is something wrong with your system itself.

User problem
I find it a little slow (especially during the initial stage when photos are imported) on my 3 years old system with about 1G+ RAM. Exporting also takes a long time even though it is only 1 file in 750X500 jpg pix.....
Otherwise acceptable lah...
Hi
I'm a hobby photographer and I'm evaluating Nikon Capture NX and Adobe Lightroom that may be used for editing and organizing photos taken by my Nikon D40. I don't and haven't started shooting and editing in RAW/NEF yet.
I have two questions, hopefully someone may give some advice for:
1. Does LR have any function similar to NX's U-point function where I can adjust HSV and RGB at specific areas of a photo? I know that I can use the Tone Curve and apply such adjustments to a specific pixel exposure, but I suspect it affects all pixels in the photo.
2. When I select a folder to view thumbnails, all photos including those in the subfolders are displayed. How do I exclude photos from subfolders?
Thanks.

LR and capture can process jpeg files as well as RAW. Capture is a software to a) make conversion from RAW to jpeg b) to corrects settings and c) it can be used to manage your camera (tethered shooting).
LR works similar, it does a) and b) but not c), however it has an integrated database that allows you to manage photos.
So in some regards the two packages are similar in others not.

NO, LR does not have the U-point technology as implemented in NX. Your suspicion is correct.
LR allows you to apply corrections to certain colour casts or channels for example yellow colours, but they will affect all the yellow pixels in a photo.
2. When I select a folder to view thumbnails, all photos including those in the subfolders are displayed. How do I exclude photos from subfolders?
are you referring to LR? you cannot as far as i know. LR will show first all the photos in the main folder followed by the ones of each subfolder....

There is a number of ways to this:May I ask how I to do batch pasting of setting to all/certain photo selects? Even after I highlight/select all photo, it still paste on the photo I last selected. Now I have to to one by one which is tidious.
Generally I don't face other problem, except slower than RSE.
1. Copy settings from one photo to others
> develop mode
> select source photo
> select "develop>copy settings" from menu or Ctrl+shift+C
> check the settings you want to copy
> click copy
> select photo you want to apply the settings
> select "develop>paste settings" from menu or Ctrl+shift+C
done
2. Syncronize settings
> develop or library mode
> select source photo
> add to selection the photo you want to apply the settings. make sure that the source photo remains the main highlighted one
> select Sync botton at the bottom of the right hand panel
> select what you want to be syncronized and sync
done
3. AutoSync: settings are applied to other photos while you are making the corrections
> select photo you want to work on
> add other photos to selection
> press ctrl key
> move mouse over Sync button, it changes to AutoSync, click the button
> release ctrl key, AutoSync stays
> all modifictions applied to the first photo selected are applied to the others in the selection as well
Thanks, will give it a try on the sync mode. I tried 1, but it can't batch paste to all images selected in one go.
