LrC 14 is out

[Only RF]

I started a pre release thread but decided to add one post release. It is 14.0.1 as of today. Adobe corrected some bugs.

Not a lot of great new features but this is not the first time Adobe has updated the version number in the fall and not had any. While some may feel disappointed, unlike competitors Adobe has major releases mid year. Adobe DeNoise AI (v12) in May of 2022 and Generative AI in v13.3 this past summer are two examples.

One thing I really liked is now it packs up the old catalogue and components into a ZIP file and places it not the Lightroom Folder. After an update I always removed the old catalogue/components and put them I temp folder on my desktop to be sure I didn't remove anything critical. I was a tad uneasy for a day or so wondering if I messed up. Now we don't have to worry about anything.

I was little surprised to see the new catalogue was still named 13-3. I did a search and now you can easily rename it. File - Rename. I checked the Rename Parent folder box for consistency.

However what is likely to come is exiting.

Now in Camera RAW you can use Denoise AI and it does not create a separate DNG file. You can see the entire file, not a window. After denoising is complete you apply the amount you like. You can apply sharpening, radius, detail and masking as well.

Next is a new Color Profile called Adobe Adaptive which is currently a beta. I don't know much about it yet but it looks pretty good. I'm not sure if it is generic or camera specific. To activate while in ACR click on the gear in the upper right hand corner - select Technology Previews.

I tried to use Auto with it and got this message. So I guess instead of creating a preset to apply Auto at import you can just use that profile and the base adjustments are done for you.

I really like this.

I'm having problems with this version. When I copy my edits from one photo and try to paste in another photo it does not do it. I have to go back, click on copy, unselect everything, select again everything and then paste, and even doing that sometimes does not work.

Have you tried to narrow it down to just one setting that is causing the issue, or doesn't Adobe pay you enough to be their Tech Support?

There too many setting for me test each one of them for free

I hate when a new version is released to break something that was working perfectly in the previous version.

No time for a long post. Google. Lightroom Queen forums. But get 14.01 - not 14.0. VERY quick update for a bug that affects Generative AI edits in your catalog.

I do not use the catalog and during the upgrade I saw that Lightroom "upgraded" the catalog. I'll try today to delete the empty catalog and let LrC to create a new one.

Note: when I said that I do not use the catalog what I mean is that my catalog is empty. When I'm done with my editing and export the end result I remove the picture from the catalog. So my Catalog is empty.

Just to help, this is the forum link

Catalogs - Problem AI remove with 14.0

Today I updated light classic 14 on mac sonoma 14.5, the result is that all the photos where I had applied remove AI require updating. The problem is that when updating the result is not the same as before, so I should check again each of them . A real disaster. I tried downloading lightroom...

It’s impossible not to use the catalogue. You need to import using LrC and the catalogue reads the files metadata and adds it to the database You not utilizing it’s features is something different.

Correct. I use the catalog but I do not keep my pictures in the catalog, after exporting them I delete them from the catalog.

I found what is the cause of my issue. It's this option which I used to have unchecked because using the CPU gives me better performance in my Tablet..

If I have it unchecked the option to copy the edits do now work.
