Tether in Lightroom is great, but sometimes it can just stop for no reason. Once upon a time, the camera going to sleep
would break tether and only restarting Lightroom and reconnecting the camera would work. If it stops for you, here are
a few things to try. If a step doesn’t work, try the next one! One of those steps will usually get tethering going again.
- First, turn the camera off and on again.
- Next, disconnect and reconnect the camera.
- Restart tethering.
- Restart Lightroom, start tether, then connect the camera.
- Finally, if all else fails, restart your computer, restart Lightroom, start tether, then connect the camera again.
Tethering is a really useful tool and a great timesaver for knowing you have the shot. Tools such as those from Tether Tools also
make the process far easier. ■
If you’re in Loupe view, each image will display, replacing the previous one. A good tip is to press F to turn on Full Screen view,
especially for clients. The image fills the screen and hides Lightroom completely. Press F again to return to normal viewing.
Here’s a quick look at the Grid from a recent shoot where I was using tether so students from a makeup class could see photos
of their models.
