I started by looking to see if it had solutions to any of the (small number of) things that drive me batty about Photoshop and Bridge. Probably my biggest single complaint about Photoshop (on a Mac) is its lack of support for volume printing. Every print is an adventure, to see if perhaps this time Photoshop will get the Page Setup settings right. Usually it does; often it doesn't. Sometimes I've succeeded in making a batch action that will print all of the images in a folder; sometimes it fails. I've never seen it fail the same way twice. So the first thing I did after reading the Lightroom documentation was to see how it would do at making 35 4x6 prints out of the 35 images in a folder. I had no problem getting it to grind away, but after the 2nd print came out, I realized that I had forgotten to turn off in-printer color management, so I wanted to stop it, fix that setting, and try again. I can find absolutely no way to stop it. There is nothing in the documentation about how to stop it. I managed to stop it by force-quitting the application, but that is always a desperation move and is not a good production technique. Is it possible to get Lightroom to stop a batch print run? How? Is it in the documentation? Where? Brian Reid
