Can you detail your specific workflow steps for getting android cell phone images into Lightroom classic on the desktop and in the cloud? Are you shooting using the Lightroom app on phone instead of the Android phones' camera? I need to know specific steps to do this workflow so I can follow them. Thanks, I'm 83 year old novice.

Teach us how to do it correctly. I have an Epson V600 and a Nikon 5000ED and Vuescan.

I want restore them to original quality. All are underneath a clear sheet of something thàt clings to the page. It tears often as I have to pry it off the image. I just want the best representation of each scene/individual in the image.

I have on loan from relatives 500-1000+ old (1918-2000) amateur family prints in poor condition in albums. I need to digitize them for archival purposes by scanning or buying a Camera Stand with lights to photograph with DSLR. I already have an Epson V600 and Vuescan for scanning. I have second hand a D5300 with kit lens and a used Canon D60 with kit lens. I barely know where the shutter button are located; that's about it for my photography knowledge. I want to create digital images in RAW format, if possible, with the best dynamic range, color accuracy and resolution to keep as Genealogy archives.

If I use the scanner which I have some familiarity with how do I set up the Professional Tab to simultaneously generate a RAW (DNG?) file, a TIFF file and a JPEG file on a single pass? Is RAW (DNG) the output I need?

Which would give the most accurate reconstruction of these old, damaged images for archival purposes: scan or photograph? If photograph, what lens to buy or rent? I have priced copy stands at B&H. I have attached two prints I already scanned: one my father at about age 18 (he was born in 1901) and a photo our church deacons with my father & me on the far right (I was an honorary deacon) from Oct 29, 1944. I use Lightroom Classic on Windows 10 laptop.

I switched to mirrorless some 1/2 dozen years ago and now all of my cameras are mirrorless. I can make a couple observations:

Overall I'm happier than not for the switch and would do it again. I switched to get smaller and lighter and over all. I did get smaller and lighter but it may not be as big a change as it first seems. Mirrorless makes the camera smaller but not the lenses.

Biggest plus for me: Mirrorless cameras reduce the sensor to flange distance substantially. This means I can put just about anything in the way of lenses on my cameras and I do. One of my favorite macro lenses is a 60mm Rodagon enlarging lens. I like wide angle lenses and that mirrorless flange distance allows for better wide lenses because they don't have to be designed to clear the mirror. This is enough for me to call it an overall positive change. I have some wide lenses that couldn't be used on an SLR.

Biggest minus for me: I want my OVF back! Half a dozen years later and I still want my OVF back. I miss it and as much as I've adjusted to the camera's EVFs they're not the same and I'd much rather look through the camera and see what's there rather than see an electronic interpretation of what's there. I will never entirely adjust to the loss of an OVF.

Another plus however with the EVF is focus peaking. It goes hand in hand with the various manual lenses I use. The EVF can magnify the image for precise focus.

Another mirrorless minus worth noting: Seems like I'm always charging batteries. When I shot with my SLR I didn't consider it a basic requirement to have multiple spare batteries and always be sure they were charged. I was accustomed to taking out the SLR and using it all day on a battery charge. Now I have a drawer pretty much dedicated to a collection of chargers and batteries that I'm always charging.

What is OVF and EVF?

Might look at BackBlaze and/or IDrive. Both are unlimited storage, always work with no human intervention and easy to Restore data.

Hello Hogs & Hogettes. I'm a newbie trying to learn LR to edit and organize old family photos. Just opened LR and the Module, Toolbar, Panels, fly-up windows have shrunk to tiny, unreadable sizes. I can't use LR because I can't see to operate it. I'm using a Dell XPS 15 9570 laptop with 4K display. I checked
Display & Ease of Access settings and they are correct.

How do I recover a normal LR display?
