The team cares passionately about our product and our customers and we failed on multiple fronts with this release. When in the working mornig of monday we opened Lightroom we were shocked. Victoria, as others have said, thank you for helping us customers channel our views hopefully in the right direction. That is where Lightroom cc 2019 comes from. At the same time we removed some of our very low usage features to further reduce complexity and improve quality. This is just crazy and reminds me of how Apple dumbed down their professional products and lost the confidence of their customers. Photoshop is an amazing tool for in-depth picture editing, but can also be set up for artists, illustrators, and designers.
Some things can be done differently better in a new import dialogue. Will definitely stay with 6. So, I am switching to On1 and occasionally Luminar. This taught me one important lesson…. There are treat a paying customer like we would be obligated to pay and should be happy they are willing to give us permission to use their work-of-art-apps.
Thanks for providing the basis of making an informed rather than grudging decision! Or do I leave it installed, and have both versions on my computer? But still it's not there yet. I'm an old fart, and nobody cares any more about people enjoying old tools, that has been honed to perfection through the years. This is a huge takeaway from Adobe from this debacle. It's also much more powerful. My view on the computer software is that it is never truly stable or final and evolves over time and needs to be regularly updated, but we are all different. Please concentrate your efforts on providing that. I know to watch out for it, And I won't have a problem because all I have to do is stay off my media server drives, however Even with 6.
Sorry guys, but you are not the only horse in the stable any more, and your lack of caring for your loyal customers is going to cost you over and over and over in the years ahead in my humble opinion. The more people who complain about its removal, the better chance of it being reinstated. No debates on the merits of the Eject, or any other option. How can a version change from 6. Just the way it is. Â Our customers, educators and research team have been clear on this topic: The import experience in Lightroom is daunting.
 Lightroom was created in 2006 via a 14 month public beta in a dialog with the photography community. I hated it too but got used to have to do more clicks to accomplish similar tasks. We can now confirm that, in our next dot release, we will restore the previous import experience. The experience of the past shows that it's just a matter of time that someone discovers a vulnerability and steals private data, spoofs adobe servers to install malware, etc. At the time I thought not another not needed gizmo that is going to do nothing to improve your shots. Glad I'm not an early adopter.

Every 18 months, Adobe would release a new version for photographers to buy outright, or to upgrade their existing copy. Are you sure you want to delete this file? It is a change from professionell to consumer needs. I opened the import, just left it open on the initial screen on v6.
There is much Adobe can do to streamline the more repetitive tasks in workflows through the smarter use of presets and preset management. I am an intermediate photographer. It seems wrong that the dynamiclinkedmediaserver. First, while chances for data corruption or problems on any one given shoot are low, if one goes long periods without formatting their cards, and also not ejecting them properly, there is a small but non-negligible chance that data corruption or other problems could occur over time. It put up a message saying The Video Cache is being Purged, this message will be dismissed when the purge is finished. You can see its use when you see that the photographers process the photos after taking them.
Has someone updated the standalone version to 6. My suggestion is, during the next release, before you even install it, run a procedure to wipe out the caches. Unwanted scene elements — even those with irregular shapes such as threads — just disappear. It was not meant to be, although now reading it a day later I can understand your reaction. You can view as well as edit the metadata and can also add the location in the Map section. I believe that the failures need to stay within Adobe and a select user group. But the point is that the feature is there.
