Do you have a tip or suggestion for LR users, that not well known?

You may or may not know this one but I will give you my tip.

In the "Develope" category, click on the "Spot Removal" (Q) tool. There is a box to check off, named "Visulize Spots." Now you can see if there are any dust spots, that need attention/removal.

Google this subject, if I am not clear with my explanation.

I’m going to guess that the majority of LR users, like most users of any software program, probably know less than half of what the software can actually do so it’s difficult to know where to start to provide help.

My first tip is basic, read the LR online Help manual put up by Adobe, especially the Library section. This will save hours of grief that can occur by not understanding how the software works.

Tip, Library Manual: If you have difficulty with the import function when using the right side import panel, try importing this way instead — click on your main photography folder, then right click and choose “Create folder inside ‘your folder’” [using the name of your folder], then right click again and choose “Import to this Folder.” You will still need to check the settings across the top to pick the correct one based on your process, i.e., “move,” “add,” or “copy,” but the folder you have chosen should show up in the right side import panel after clicking on the Import button.

I wouldn't think to call Sharpening and Noise Reduction to be 'overlooked'. And yet, when I dump the EXIF data, I too often see only default import values. So, let's add these areas to the links to the list:

Basics of noise processing

Basics of Lightroom Sharpening

The annual Adobe Max conference is eminent. It starts Nov 2. There will be new features. At least one will be a lot of fun.
