    Lightroom and Mac users - how do you back up your images and catalogue ?

    I've managed to get almost all my photos back from my SD cards !! I knew there was a reason I had so many !! Even though they had been formatted I used EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and was gob smacked that it worked ! Used the free version and then upgraded - £50 and I've got all my photos from...

    Lightroom and Mac users - how do you back up your images and catalogue ?

    I understood you until this bit ? So put all the RAW images into my Pictures folder and then import them to LR as needed ?

    Lightroom and Mac users - how do you back up your images and catalogue ?

    I had the Fusion Drive replaced on my iMac - I thought I had done a Time Machine back up and a separate back up of my photos but it turns out that this wasn't on the external HD. The person who carried out this work gave me back the original HD but said that he couldn't read any of the DATA - I...

    Lightroom and Mac users - how do you back up your images and catalogue ?

    Hi all Would really appreciate some help ! I’ve recently replaced the fusion hard drive in my iMac with an SSD - due to my incompetence I have lost the last two years images (and emails I saved to my Mac) I now have about 10k photos on an external HD but no catalogue so all the edits are...

    Which Mac Mini ?

    I'm beginning to think the M2 Pro might be the sweet spot for me because of the standard 16gb and 512gb.....

    Anyone still using an M1 or M2 ? Are these still handling LR ok ?

    iMac users - switching Fusion HD to SSD ?

    Strange but most of the reviews I have read say that the M4 is sufficient for the majority and its now really worth going for the M4 Pro.

    iMac users - switching Fusion HD to SSD ?

    I really don't fancy doing it myself! I think the quote for £254 is reasonable but they did state there is a small risk the glass might break for which they would not accept liability...

    iMac users - switching Fusion HD to SSD ?

    Thanks that's interesting... I presume i would have to spend a lot to get a 27" monitor as good as my iMac ? I had thought about booting it from an external hard drive but the advantage of an iMac is its portability and lack of clutter ! Not an easy decision !

    iMac users - switching Fusion HD to SSD ?

    Hi all Hopefully, someone will have experience of this ! I have a 2019 27" iMac with 48gb RAM and a 1TB fusion drive. The Fusion drive is perhaps not surprisingly, slowing it down when using Lightroom/Photoshop. It's not awful, but slow enough to annoy me. I am trying to decide whether to...

    Which Mac Mini ?

    You've got me thinking and I can't decide whether to go for a M4 version or wait for the M5.... I'm guessing the M5 will go up in price...
