Lightroom 6.2 known bugs how to#
Here's how: How to Disable Lightroom's Add Photos Feature So my recommendation is simply to disable the “add photos” feature.

While you can roll back your system to a version prior to the upgrade, this does require a few steps with which some of you might not be comfortable.

It wont have all of the adjustments, but most of my important stuff is in tiff format (PS layered) and I would guess that Lightroom will be just fine with those tiff files. The word on the street is that Adobe is working to release 6.3 which will revert back to the old style of importing. Maintain exist libraries in Aperture and since all my images are referenced, if I need an image in Lightroom, just point Lightroom to that image or collection of images. The add photo feature brought my system to a crawl and ultimately made Lightroom unusable. I'm sure intentions where good in that Adobe tried to create an easier way to import photos into Lightroom, but sometimes simplifying things too much creates more problems down the road.
Lightroom 6.2 known bugs update#
Adobe quickly released an update to versions 6.2.1 and 15.2.1 which did help alleviate some of my system's crashing issues, but it wasn't until I turned off the “Add Photos” feature that my system starting acting somewhat normal. My feeling is that mistakes happen (even at Adobe), but how quickly they respond to the mistake is the real issue. Now this might not be new for many of you, but I've received a lot of questions on how I'm handling the update so I thought I'd share my thoughts here for my readers. The upgrade was so flawed with so many bugs and features added and removed that Adobe issued an apology for their mistake. Lightroom's newest updates, LR 6.2 and Creative Cloud version 15.2, were a huge disappointment with the major overhaul to the import module being particularly problematic.
