Consider these two examples involving Flickr, that occurred within just one day of each other. Nice gal Amanda I submitted the following feedback, not really expecting much of it. In fact, I fully expected some useless, boilerplate response that completely ignored the point and directed me to the upload requirements page (despite it being the… Read more
I don’t know why, but it’s apparently impossible to directly import a Lightroom catalog from one computer into the catalog of another.
