![]() Within the Develop module you can obviously apply adjustments along the way. The differences are subtle, but it means that the preview in the Develop module can be more accurate than the previews viewed in the Library module.Īll of this means that it now makes perfect sense to use the Develop module for browsing photos for your initial review, and frankly for all purposes. In addition, the previews in the Develop module are rendered in real-time based on the underlying original capture, while in the Library module you are viewing JPEG images rendered from the original captures. What that translates to is that rendering a real-time preview in the Develop module may be just as fast (or faster) than rendering a preview in the Library module. If you have a compatible display adapter supported by Lightroom, performance in the Develop module can be greatly improved by having the “Use Graphics Processor” checkbox turned on the Performance tab of the Preferences dialog. However, Lightroom has obviously been updated substantially over the years, including updates that affect overall performance. More Detail: I would agree that Lightroom was originally designed in a way that browsing in the Library module would be faster than browsing in the Develop module, provided you had built Standard previews in advance (or 1:1 previews if you want to zoom in on the photos). So culling in Develop can make perfect sense. Furthermore, previews in the Develop module can be a bit more accurate than those in the Library module. Tim’s Quick Answer: Actually, Lightroom Classic has been updated to the point that for many users browsing in the Develop module may be just as fast as in the Library module. I know Lightroom is not designed to be used this way. ![]() I am now considering not making the 1:1 previews at all and simply culling in the develop module as my go-to way of culling. The library module is slower and sometimes the photos are not focused even though I make 1:1 previews upon import. Today’s Question: Recently I have started culling in the Develop module rather than the Library module as the 100% zooms are accurate and instantaneous in the develop module and I can easily make adjustments if I want to. Keep in mind that as noted above, this option will only actually apply if you have also turned on the “Automatically write changes into XMP” checkbox. In order to update the original capture time to proprietary raw captures, you must also turn on the “Write date or time changes into proprietary raw files” checkbox. Keep in mind that Lightroom-specific features such as collections, virtual copies, pick and reject flags, and history, will not be written to metadata as part of this process. To enable this option, you can turn on the “Automatically write changes into XMP” checkbox on the Metadata tab of the Catalog Settings dialog. ![]() ![]() However, you can have most updates applied to the source photos as well. You can then apply the appropriate adjustment to the capture time.īy default, Lightroom only updates metadata values for your photos within the Lightroom catalog. After selecting photos within Lightroom (in the Grid view) you can choose Metadata > Edit Capture Time from the menu. More Detail: There are several date and time values included in the metadata for your images, and if you had your camera set to the wrong time (such as by not updating the time zone) you can update the capture time in Lightroom. Both of these options are found on the Metadata tab of the Catalog Settings dialog. In addition, the “Automatically write changes into XMP” checkbox must be turned on so that metadata updates in general are written to the source images in addition to being updated within the catalog. Of course, the “Write date or time changes into proprietary raw files” checkbox must be turned on in order for date and time changes to be written to the files. Tim’s Quick Answer: To have Lightroom Classic automatically save changes to date and time to your original image files, you must turn on two checkboxes. Today’s Question: Does Lightroom embed the original capture date into the image file if “write date or time changes into proprietary raw files” is enabled?
