You seem to be happy with the Canon software, so this may not be important. Tethering with Lightroom does have some capabilities that Cannon EOS utility doesn't have. I like the ability to show my results on Lightroom Mobile.

To solve your problem:

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\tether_canon.lrplugin folder.
Backup and delete EDSDK.dll, EdsImage.dll, tether_canon.exe, and tether_canon.lrplugin.
Replaced them with the corresponding files from LR 5.7

Note: You can use Adobe CC to install previous versions to get these files.

Good Luck,
Gary Minor

Thanks, That is exactly what I am looking for.

I'm looking for the thread in which there was an Excel spread sheet showing the values of different exposures for normal and ETTR images.

Can anyone remember this thread?

In an earlier response on this thread, I said "Windows doesn't include the volume name in any path information, only the volume letter."

As Gene51 pointed out, this was not quite correct. What I should of said is:

"Windows file system doesn't use the the volume name as part of the path information when accessing a file. It does however, display it to the user in the Windows Explorer dialog box."

Did you really mean what you wrote? I think this edited sentence is what you meant.

However, metering the brightest portion of the scene and placing it anywhere other than at the right end of the JPEG range (ETTR) or a little further (EBTR, close to the right end of the raw range) is generally considered to be ETTR or EBTR.

Lightroom doesn't care what you name a volume. It only knows it as G:. A folder in the G: volume would have the path G:\master_file_folder\..., regardless of the name of the volume. That is, it wouldn't be G:SomeName\master_file_folder\...

To say the same thing another way; Windows doesn't include the volume name in any path information, only the volume letter.

If you want to rename the volume, I suggest Master_Volume or perhaps simply Master. I would not name a volume Master_Folder.

A large part of the disagreement and confusion concerning ETTR comes from the way concepts are expressed.

These two statements are well understood:
The concept of ETTR says that the largest tonal graduations results from exposing as high as possible, but still protecting the highlights.
Whatever the scene has for highlights, then you (or the camera) should set the exposure to put these at the high end of (but not beyond) the sensor's range.

However, the consequences are sometimes misrepresented:
If the scene has some abnormally bright highlights, then mid-tones will be exposed less than the meter would indicate. This is still ETTR!

A white bird against a dark background, exposed for the bird, is ETTR. Note: "exposed for the bird" means setting the exposure to put it at the high end of (but not beyond) the sensor's range.
Some might call this ETTL (expose to the left), but it's not.

The move tool has a drop down box that allows you to select Layer or Group. Select Layer.

I have some Kodak paper that I don't use for anything worthwhile. I have tried to get ICC Profiles and no one there seems to know what I'm talking about. I've tried, over a period of several months, and several sources within Kodak, to get a profile for Kodak Matte Photo Paper, green label, without success. I've given up.

SS,
The term should method instead of methodology. Methodology is the study of methods.

This should be an interesting thread. Thanks

What is MUA?

Mike,
The suggestions already posted may work, but I think that the simplest solution is:

1) Use PhotoMove to move or copy several folders of photos to a single directory, with a structure by date.
example: Pictures/2016/2016-10/2016-10-14/IMG_0163.CR2
This uses the Date Taken. Watch out for any photos that have been edited or converted to an different format and have lost the Date Taken info.

2) Take a reasonably sized group of folders to find and delete duplicates. This program looks at the contents only, not the names. The contents must be identical.

3) There will still be some photos that are not quite exactly dupes. This will find them. Sort by percent alike, starting with 100% and work down

4) Name each of the lowest level folders (those that contain photos) according to the contents. that is, 2016-10-14 becomes 2016-10-14 Fall Party.

5) Rename the photos to suit your own taste. My favorite is to name the photos according to the folder name. That is, in the example above, IMG_0163.CR2 becomes 2016-10-14 Fall Party 001.CR2
There may be a program to rename according to the folder, but I don't know what it is. I wrote one that you may be interested in. If so, PM me.

Good luck.
Gary
